The explanation in this section assumes that ColorSync version 3.0 or later is installed on your Macintosh.
Appendix B
Color Matching in Adobe Photoshop (Version 5.0.2 or Later)
When an image saved in Nikon Capture 3 is opened in Adobe Photoshop, the profiles used in
Adobe Photoshop should match those used in Nikon Capture 3. If the profiles do not match,
the colors seen in Adobe Photoshop may not be the same as those in the original image. The
profiles used with Nikon Capture 3 can be used with Adobe Photoshop version 5.0.2 or later.
The first step is to match the Nikon Capture 3 monitor profile with that used in Adobe Photoshop.
The point to remember is that you should specify the monitor profile for Adobe Photoshop
first and then select the same profile for Nikon Capture 3. For more information, see “Choos-
ing a Monitor Profile” (
230).
The next step is to save the image from Nikon Capture 3 using a format that supports inclusion
of color profile information. If you save the image in TIFF, JPEG (JFIF), or JPEG (Exif), informa-
tion about the color profile used in Nikon Capture 3 will be embedded in the file, and Adobe
Photoshop will use this information to process colors appropriately when the file is opened.
For more information, see “Adjusting Settings in Adobe Photoshop” ( 234).
