Bad color shift for RAW photos in Adobe programs??

[tfritzsche]

Hi TsunamiZ
When your camera shoots RAW it embeds a JPEG image as well, this jpeg is what you are seeing in apps that cannot read RAW files. The JPEG has the white point, sharpening, contrast, etc.. all baked in, with RAW converters (Adobe Camera Raw and Lightroom etc..) you are able to change these parameters. It is sometimes good to think of the RAW file as the negitive and the jpeg/converted file as the print, one can make many different prints from the same negative.
For more info get a book on shooting RAW or do a search on the web. :)

OK, I updated first post with the original 5MB .CRW so you can test it out...

but the colors looks "normal" in these RAW programs i use:

- Microsoft RAW Image Viewer
- Canon ZoomBrowser EX
- XnView image viewer
- my camera's LCD screen

only looks yellow in:

- adobe photoshop
- adobe lightroom

I think this may be a white point issue, check to see if all apps are reporting the same white point. I was able to make your file look like the thumbnail by changing white point (by clicking on the white of the beer can, or by choosing the flouresent white point setting).

Ditto to above.

Double check your color settings in your Adobe apps and make sure you are running a good color profile.

What color profile are you assigning it when you load it into Photoshop? sRGB should prevent that color shift. While it's gamut is much smaller than Adobe RGB(1998) it's best for JPEG's from point and shoot cameras.

Looks like a color profile shift to me. Check your color defaults in Photoshop.
