Sorry for replying to such an old thread but strange things are happening on my end and I can't really wrap my head around it.
So in Photoshop I create a pure red color field in sRGB Profile (which is standard setting in PS). I put R 255 G 0 B 0. Save it as a file. (attached it here)
If I open this bitmap in 3dsmax and open image in Max I get a value of R 253 G 0 B 0.
Not it gets worse. If I use a Vray color map and pick the color with Corona Color Picker from the bitmap field in the Material Editor I get a value of R 254 G 0 B 0.
Wait. It gets better. Now if I pick the color directly from Photoshop I get a color that has R 220 G 14 B 7.
However if I set my Photoshop Color Management to Monitor RGB now I can pick the correct color. But as a saved bitmap it still has a value of R 253 G 0 B 0.
Please help! :D
