Dehancer plugins for Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom СС, Lightroom Classic, and Capture One currently support source images in the following color spaces:
- sRGB IEC61966-2.1
- AdobeRGB (1998)
- ProPhoto RGB
- Display P3
- Beta RGB
Dehancer tries to extract the embedded color profile information from the image and automatically selects the detected color space. If it fails to for some reason, the default sRGB IEC61966-2.1 profile is selected.
The same profile list is available in the Output tool section. Normally the output space is the same as the input space. If not, please select the profile that matches the working space of your host application and the system screen calibration.
It is important that the same color management is consistent throughout the entire processing and viewing pipeline.
Please follow the recommended color settings for the sRGB workflow:
1. Display Setup
- Set your display to its native sRGB color gamut mode if possible.
- Use the appropriate calibration profile built especially for your display in sRGB, Gamma 2.2 (color temperature is insignificant).
💡 On Mac you can also use the Internet and Web (sRGB) reference display preset provided with your new MacBook Pro, Apple Studio Display and Pro Display XDR.
2. Adobe Photoshop
- In Photoshop, go to Edit -> Color Settings… and set the parameters as shown below:
- Set the working space to sRGB IEC61966-2.1
- In the Color Management Policies section, select the Convert to Working RGB mode, and turn on the checkboxes indicated. Now, when you open the photo, the color space mismatch will be checked and a conversion to sRGB will be suggested.
3. Adobe Camera Raw
Go to Photoshop -> Preferences -> Camera Raw… and adjust the settings as shown here:
- Select the sRGB IEC61966-2.1 color space
- Set the color depth to 16 bit
4. Adobe Lightroom Classic
Check the settings in Lightroom Classic → Preferences → External Editing
- Use TIFF format
- Select the sRGB workspace
- Set the color depth to 16 bit
Use the same settings when exporting from Lightroom if you plan to process it later in Photoshop.
5. Adobe Lightroom CC
There is no dedicated color space setting in Lightroom CC.
When processing images as the external editor, Dehancer tries to detect the embedded color profile automatically and select it in the Input section. If it fails to for some reason, try to manually select the ProPhoto RGB profile for RAW photos coming from Lightroom CC.
6. Capture One Pro
In the dialogue that follows the Edit With… command, select the appropriate options:
- Format: TIFF 16 bit
- ICC Profile: sRGB Color Space Profile
