OT: Which Photoshop Profile for Video???

I did a system reinstall this weekend and now when I open snapshots from my video in Photoshop, all my caps are very dark. I forget the color profile I need to select in PS for video. Anyone have a clue which color profile I need to select?

Thanks

Patrick, are you talking about your workspace settings or the monitor's color profile?

If you're talking about the monitor's color profile, you'll have to set that up manually, then save it as a profile and make sure it's the default, if memory serves me correctly.

Thanks Jay. I just selected the monitor setting under color settings and everything is good now. Thanks.

BTW: I got that job!

Yep, that's it.

Another related gotcha. keying ctrl+y will throw photoshop into cymk proofing mode, which will also skew your colors. It's too bad that key combination means "redo" in so many other applicatons.
