Having an imported image show in Illustrator as it shows in photoshop ?

Hello,

I'm having problems with the appearance of imported images in Illustrator:

I first created an image in Photoshop that I planned on using as a background for an illustration,

and then import it in Illustrator.

Once imported in Illustrator, it doesn't look the same at all…

I'm running on Mac os 10.8.5 and Illustrator and Photoshop cc.

Here is a sample of how different it looks.…

Left, illustrator, right, photoshop.

Both files in Photoshop and Illustrator are RVB (also tried with both in CMYK).

I tried importing jpg, tifs, psd… same problem.

I tried importing the imported image in a new Illustrator file. Same problem.

No effect is applied to the image, it is just imported and that's all.

Any ideas on what is happening?

Thanks in advance for your answers!

Keth.
