Colour picker not sampling right colour - colour management?

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

The problem may be with the jpg as it is geared towards appearance - well at least what jpg think is the appearance. If you save a perfectly clean image it will get a "cloud" of jpg artifacts especially along colour changes etc. Try looking at the different color channels of the jpg'd image in psd and the noise should be more visible. if you want control of colour use gif tif or such, No jpg :-)
