Default OT - Different tones from Camera Raw to Photoshop CS5

Hi everyone!

Sorry to disturb the group for a Photoshop problem which I couldn't
resolve in the proper forum. I'm hoping that someone here might be able to
help me.

I've searched for a solution everywhere, but can't find any. The "Help
file
in Photoshop or Camera Raw doesn't seem to address this problem. I've
pre-ordered a book (Scott Kelby's), but it's only coming out at the end of
the month.

My Problem:
When I'm in Camera Raw, colours have a certain tone and vividness.
When I open the same photo in Photoshop from Camera Raw, it's not quite
the
same, maybe a bit lighter...

Where I'm at:
Camera Raw is set at: Adobe RGB 1998.
Photoshop is set at: Adobe RGB 1998, US web coated (SWOPO) v2, dot gain
gray
20%, dot gain spot 20%, RGB, CMYK, gray, OFF.
I'm also using Spyder3 Pro.
Should I set Photoshop to "Monitor RGB, etc." (the same profile as my
screen - LG)? Or should I leave it to Adobe RGB?
When I print from Photoshop, I use "Photoshop manages colour" and use as
printer profile the same as my screen- LG. I also use "relative
colorimetric".

Any suggestions, please?



Some thoughts:
Do you have the latest version of Camera Raw?
It sounds as if you CR profile is not the same as you PS color profile
because some setting in PS is fighting your monitor profile.
How accurate is your printing color.

Have you tried setting everything to sRGB.

Also, have you tried the Adobe forums. They are quite helpful.

Let us know
