Dark images in Photoshop

desewer · 19th December 2004

Hi guys.

Does anyone know why my photos appear super dark when I load them into Photoshop elements or even Photoshop CS? I tried changing the colour space from sRGB to Adobe RGB but it doesn't help.

The photos were taken with a 20D and I'm using a Samsung SyncMaster763MB monitor. The photos are fine when I view and edit them with Irfanview, looks exactly like on my camera LCD. But in Adobe Photoshop, they are dark! Someone Help!

try to readjust your monitor gamma settings, Most of the time they will get out of adj. Also one thing i learnd is in photo shop and on your camera make sure they are both set to veiw in RGB color. I have the D rebel so im not real sure what the settings in your camera might be.

but those are the things i can think of

also depends on what kind og computer your useign weather it be mac or PC I have the PC with win.XP Pro. so i have those settings i belive in the controll panel. Good luck!!
