AP: Unprofiled Grayscale opens in RGB

[James Rodriguez]

I have an unprofiled grayscale image that AP insists on opening in RGB color space, not Grayscale.

 

The Color Profiles section of Preferences has different scenarios for assigning profiles, but is there a way to open an unprofiled grayscale file in Grayscale color space?

 

Photoshop opens unprofiled grayscale files in grayscale color space as expected, why can't AP?

 

I opened said file in PS, re-saved it as grayscale with Gray Gamma 2.2 profile, AP now opens it in Grayscale color space with Greyscale D50 profile.

 

But what about AP opening it in Grayscale with the Greyscale D50 profile from the get go?

Hi James,

Welcome to the forums.

 

Can you PM me a link to one of the greyscale images you're using, also is this on Mac or Windows?

[James Rodriguez]

Thanks Lee D I will,

I'm on a Mac (late 2011 17" MacBook Pro, 16GB Ram).

Stupid Question: How can I subscribe to this tread, or otherwise receive notification of any responses?

Figured out to follow this topic, but I still need help with the Grayscale issue above.

Hi James,

 

Thanks for the file, I've logged the issue with the developers to look into as it shouldn't be assigning an sRGB profile when opening.

Thank you very much!!  :D
