| Hi Michael It sounds like whoever made the jpegs didn't know about colour management and assigned an incorrect colour space but she's decided she prefers that look! First thing you could try is open them both up in Photoshop, take your jpeg and go to the bottom left of your window and select Document Profile to see what space it's been saved in. http://www.loopcorp.com//Miscellany/Colour_Space.png Now go to the tiff and see what it's Document Profile is. If it's different go to Edit > Assign Profile (not Convert to Profile) and try the same profile as the jpeg. Trouble is, you don't know how much that jpeg's been abused profile-wise so that may not be the answer but that may be the easy solution. If it works and your AE work is going to be done in something video friendly like REC-709, I would then go to Edit > Convert to Profile and set your Destination Space to HDTV (REC-709). Photoshop will then put it into the correct space for AE while preserving the look that your client wants. I believe you can set AE to preserve the incoming profiles but this is way I prefer to do it, others may disagree! I get lots of problems with photographers using Assign Profile rather than Convert to Profile. HTH.
