[QUOTE="pforsell, post: 514065, member: 7240"] There's more to this. My guess is that your monitor calibration has gone off-kilter somehow. Updated driver that reset calibration values back to factory defaults? Updated Adobe software that forgot calibration or other settings? Just a garden variety software glitch? A new software installed that decided to "make things easier" for you, by adjusting the calibration? Your monitor is not capable of showing Prophoto RGB colors (well, nothing is, since ProPhoto contains [I]imaginary[/I] colors). Most likely your monitor is either a standard sRGB monitor or a wide-gamut (10 bit) AdobeRGB monitor. The larger ProPhoto RGB space will be mapped onto the smaller sRGB space of your monitor by your display hardware (and driver software). When something big is forcefully truncated into something small colors will not be represented accurately, especially if the calibration is not top notch. Please see if this page contains any missing pieces for your puzzle: [url]https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/help/color-management.html[/url] [/QUOTE]
