How to process images to emulate mismatched color profiles?

Question

I have been trying to emulate a saturation effect that occurs when I do the following in Photoshop: 1. Select the Export As dialog and choosing JPEG `without` integrating an ICC profile 2. Select the Open File dialog and choose to assign the Wide Gamut RGB profile The saturation can also be seen in preview by just selecting the Export As dialog `without` choosing the integrate ICC profile option. Note that I am using a wide-gamut Adobe RGB monitor. Now to my question: How can I achieve the same kind of saturation without doing these steps. Specifically I am looking to design or find a LUT that applies the same kind of saturation on a Photoshop layer. Any hints as to how to do this? Thanks!

Answer 1

To achieve this, first import a sample image using the above saving convention as a reference to photoshop. Import a new image without adjustments to the same Photoshop document. Apply color corrections using Selective Color, Color balance, and/or Hue/Saturation, using the original photo as a reference for color management. Note: you may also apply exposure settings to your LUT by adding a curves or levels adjustment layer. When you have achieved your desired color and/or exposure effect click file, export, and color lookup tables. Once there, a dialogue box with specific save settings will be presented. Choose your desired settings and hit ok.
