PSD -> AE : help please

[cinephil]

I am importing a logo from Photoshop into AE (psd, colorprofile Adobe rgb).
The collors don't match. (see attachment)
The yellow is not the same.
Who can help me ?:thumbup:

Hmm I see that. Well can you edit the color of it inside of After Effects and just change it back in there? I know sometimes I have small problems like that. I really just deal with them by trying to edit the color in After Effects or going to photoshop and making it even darker. Also try to do with no color profile attached to see if that might work.

I think in CS3 (I have 7.0 in front of me now) you can go to project settings and say you want to manage color profiles. Pick what you want (rec 709 for HD, for example), and then interpret each piece of footage how they should be, so rec 709 for an HD shot, Adobe RGB if you used that to make your photoshop file, etc. and it should all come out how you intended. There's some documentation on Adobe's website about color management if you google it...

skettalee, grahamdunn,

Thanx for the input,
I used the help function from AE and came up with the following :
1- I changed the collor working space of my project to sdtv (pal).
2 - there is a filter that allows you to convert one collorspace to another.

Applied it to the layer with the psd's and voila : matching collors
Worked like a sharm.

Use sRGB in Photoshop when working with video and save yourself headaches. No need for a filter of any kind.
