Hi there,

so i have an image i painted in RGB in photoshop and saved it out as jpeg. Placed it into a RGB document in illustrator. All my colour settings are synced for rgb to be sRGB.

I sampled the colour straight off the placed image (and theres no colour adjustment or layer effects to make it dimmer), however the colour i save to swatches is darker than the actual colour of the image and there seems to be a slight cyan/blue colour cast.

Any ideas why illustrator might be doing this?

Thanks
