i have PS Cs2 on work and at home, i opened .ai file at work, placed it in my psd and it was orange, but at home when i opened psd color was nearly brown...

at first i was, there is something wrong with my monitor calibration, so i went to the website with the logo in jpg and the color was orange...so it's not the monitor calibration...

and when i save a corel file to illustrator, AI i PS give me darker colors..

my color space is adobe rgb 1998

Basko, do the images has ICC profiles and what color management policies have you set up in your PS Color settings? The differences you describe are usually a result of the how you have set up PS to handle files which have eithere no embedded color profile or a profile which is different from you working profile.

Basko, are the advanced Color Management settings (see screen shot) identical on both computers?

i would also ask if this is the only image you've done this with and the only one with differences or do all your images look different on each computer? and, are the computers using the same hardware, especially the graphics cards and monitors?

yes the setings are the same...

i changed the profile from srgb to adobe rgb 1998, but i have a problem, i do mostly web graphics, so i modyfy colors, lets say the photo looks nice i go to save for web, set quality to lets say 80, and the picture in the save for web dialog is more saturated then the original...

is it worth to mess around with color profiles or just leave it as its instaled with srgb...for web graphics...

here in croatia, all photo studios work in srgb profile, so if i edit photo i adobe 1998 , i still have to save it as a srgb....
