As part of my operation I record many clips off air to a hard disk
recorder and save them on a disk in DVD format to carry upstairs to my
computer and save for archive. In the computer I edit and convert to
digital video (.dv) using Cinematize 2 Pro. I then view this on Quick
Time and save individual frames (Export/ Movie to Picture/ Millions
of colours, best quality, no compression) which gives me .pct stills
which I open in CS3. Sounds complicated but it is a good working
system for me.
On opening the .pct file in Photoshop CS3 the dialog notes that the
file has "no embedded profile" and gives the usual options. Whether I
choose not to colour manage or to Assign my working space profile
(Adobe RGB(1998)) the opened still frame differs significantly from
the QT view, usually being significantly darker. This makes sense as
it had no profile embedded. Naturally I can tweak to what I want in
Photoshop but it would be nice to know what profile it had at an
earlier time of life, and which presumably is applied in QT, but
which has been lost along the way in saving the frame. If I assigned
this profile, then converted to Adobe RGB(1998) I should get back to
the QT view.
Any words of wisdom would be much appreciated!
