Color problem solved in Windows

Well, I've been having a horrid time trying to get the colors I see in Luminar show up in Photoshop. Everything looks great in Luminar then I pull it over to Photoshop and it loses something. Some photos lose a lot, some just a little.

I stumbled on a solution tonight and thought I would share it in case anyone else was suffering the same issue. It turns out I had a color profile loaded up in windows for my monitor as well as the standard sRGB one. Even though sRGB was set as the default for everything it seems like Luminar was using the color profile for my monitor and all the other programs were using the sRGB profile. To test it I removed the color profile for my monitor from my system and rebooted. I then went into Luminar and corrected an image, loaded that image into Photoshop and the colors matched exactly. 

Luminar 3 still doesn't perform well at all but I wanted to share one happy outcome amidst all the doom and gloom we all feel. :)

  Luminar is more about filters and layers, not a real RAW engine like LR and Capture one at all...I agree the color accuracy pretty lame.
