Your problem is APP giga stripping color profile, that software is not color managed yet, Ptgui is color managed since long & does not do this.

After stitching with APP you manually need to assign your color profile in photoshop. This problem mostly happen when you use other color space than sRGB.

Avoid aRGB & ProphotoRGB they cannot be displayed on web, if you convert your raw files to sRGB then stitch you wont have this problem even APP strips the profile bcoz when no profile is attached all the images will be displayed in sRGB.

Hi Konakid,

Zitat

I take my APP stitched tiff without a color profile into CS4, My original photos are with profile sRGB Nikon 4.0.0.3001. But when I'm done converting, it tells me my Color Space is RGB

You can add many colorprofiles (adobe RGB, sRGB, ProPhoto, device specific) to an image in a certain colorspace (RGB, CMYK, LAB), the colorprofile tells the editor (photoshop) how the colors of; in your case the recorder (DSLR probably); relate to the R,G,B values in RGB colorspace and that way rendering a correct image on your screen.

Check your color settings in Photoshop (command-shift-k on a Mac). In the 'Working Spaces' > 'RGB' you have to set your preferred colorspace, I use the Adobe RGB space because it gives me a bit more headroom for post-processing the image. Also, select 'Ask When Opening' for the 'Missing Profiles:' setting, this way PSD allows you to re-assign the original profile when an image is opened without a profile. Always pick the same profile as in the original images of the pano.

When you take sRGB jpg's into APG and render the resulting panorama, the sRGB profile gets stripped from the final rendered image. If you open the rendered image in Photoshop it will ask you to select a profile for this image. It's important to 'Assign' a profile and not convert to a profile. When the original profile is assigned to the image all the colors should be restored to their former glory.

When you work in adobe RGB or use a colorprofile other then sRGB, and you want to publish the image for the web it is best to convert the image to an sRGB profile before saving.

I hope this helps

But my Color Profile is sRGB Nikon 4.0.0.3001 - Is this correct settings?

So I guess I'm confused between Color Space and Color Profile.

That's the source of your problem, do not use any other profile except sRGB if your work is going to be displayed on web. I suspect that your photoshop settings are messed up, you can run it on default color settings which is sRGB.

Hi,

sorry, I'm not a Photoshop or Color profile specialist, but there must be a way to "apply" the color profile (and then maybe convert to sRGB), embedding alone would be not enough, because any embedded data will be ignored/removed,

best regards,
