I'm currently editing a headshot I've taken in Photoshop. It was originally shot in RAW, brought into photoshop in ProPhoto colour space (desaturated to be like B+W).
I've gone through a number of edits, and every time I attempt to export it to another file format (tif being my goal) it saves the pictures as a much brighter and washed out shade of gray.
I've tried changing the color space to adobe 1998 rgb (as I normally do for printing), srgb, "dot gain 20%", grayscale 2.2, and a few others. Always the same.
I've tried saving it as a JPG, but not only does the preview save look a much lighter gray, the "Original" is shown with a very blatent B+W checkerboard pattern over it which does Not show up in the preview JPG. I can only assume that Has to be a clue.
I've had this problem before occasionally but never been able to solve it without starting from scratch and just having it not happen. I did a lot of cleanup work on this picture though and Really can't start over on it. I hope this is something simple that's wrong.
Thanks for the help! -Very- much! |
