Bridge/Photoshop Colour Issues

Bridge/ Photoshop Colour Issues:
  It appears that there are a few pictures that are noticeably dull, when I load them in Bridge and Photoshop.   Those same pictures are very vibrant when I look at them directly from the SD card or load them into Picassa.  I tried editing the picture, saving it in Photoshop, then opening it up in Picassa and it has the same dullness.  Since having this issue, I have updated the drivers on my Quadro graphics card, but I think it may be something to do with the way that I set up Adobe Bridge, because this is the first time I have imported a large batch of photos from Bridge.  However, I pretty much left everything as the standard settings in Bridge.  Any suggestions?
  FYI - I just started using the Adobe Master Collection, with Win 7 Pro 64 and Huey Pro embedded on my laptop. My colour settings are Huey Pro on my laptop, SRGB in Photoshop and General Purpose for Bridge (I haven’t had this issue before and Huey Pro has been my colour settings on my laptop since I got Adobe).

That turns off color management in Photoshop, so yes, that would match other applications that aren't color managed at all. You're not fixing the problem, you're just hiding the symptom.
If you're certain the Photoshop version is wrong, that means your monitor profile is corrupt. A corrupt monitor profile only affects color managed software like Photoshop. Other applications don't use the monitor profile and never touch it.
If it's merely the fact that Photoshop is different, that's normal and all as it should be. With a valid monitor profile Photoshop is right and the others wrong.

  • Colours in Bridge/Photoshop CS3

    After editing images in Photoshop CS3 (using a calibrated Eizo monitor S2231W) and viewing them in Bridge (whether PSD or JPG) in the presentation modus, the colours change a bit and become oversaturated when I change the presentation from "fit in" to 100%(by scrolling the mouse wheel). The same oversaturated colours appear also in other Windows viewers (e.g. Magix, irfanview). Of course I can use a different custom preset on the monitor when viewing the images on the monitor and reduce the saturation there, but the colour change will remain. So how can I see in Photoshop when editing and be sure what the colours will be like in a Windows presentation?
    (PS- changing the colour settings in Photoshop did not help)
    Thank you for helping! - Jochen

    I'm also working on a stable calibrated system which I believe I understand, and I see the same colour shift when zooming a Bridge CS3 slideshow from "fit" to 100%, latest version, Windows Vista SP1 etc. It looks like the slideshow program is arbitrarily assigning Adobe RGB as a colour space for the RAW image which it's displaying, but only at 100%. That's odd as my working spaces are all sRGB on this machine.
    I've tried various combinations of Bridge settings including the factory defaults. It makes no difference what the ACR colour space (in the XMP recipe) for that image is: I get the same effect for sRGB and Adobe RGB XMP settings.
    The second post here seems to be about PS colour management in general; that's not the issue here, this is quite specific to the 100% zoom in Bridge Slideshow.
    Looking at various jpeg test charts I can't make the shift happen; I get it only with RAW files (CR2, various different Canon bodies, all the same problem).
    More investigation suggests that my Bridge's colour management is slightly broken more generally. That is, if I have an sRGB JPEG file without an explicit embedded profile tag, Bridge should display it as sRGB (see explicit section 2 from the sRGB standard here:
    http://www.w3.org/Graphics/Color/sRGB.html). This isn't happening with a test image: it's apparently not colour managed at all. If I assign sRGB explicitly to the image and save as JPEG or PNG it displays correctly however.
    Perhaps that's a clue to the 100% problem... does anyone else have any idea what may be going on here?

  • Photoshop colour profiles and Aperture

    The local lab only has Photoshop colour profiles, nothing for Aperture. Any way to utilize these in Aperture?
    They recommend their PS RGB profile. If I can't utilize it, I can get an image that is closer to my screen display, if I onscreen proofed using Aperture's generic RGB or sRGB modes. My last print job did not utilize any onscreen proofing beforehand and it shows -- way too blue in the print. Onscreen proofing using either of these RGB modes gets me closer in colour balance to the last print job, but contrast and brightness is still an issue (print is darker and flatter).
    Any way to work with these profiles to produce my own custom one, based on a series of test prints?

    A colour profile is a colour profile. Photoshop is just an app that uses them - there's no such thing as a PS-specific colour profile.
    Copy the profile into either ~/Library/ColorSync/Profiles (specific to that user) or /Library/ColorSync/Profiles (all users) and it should appear in the lists for screen proofing and output profiles in Aperture.

  • 10.7.4 huge photoshop performance issues

    I've had variants of three different versions of Photoshop installed - CS4, 5 and now 6. I'm not 100% sure when the issue
    started occurring, but I've done a lot of experimentation to analyze it.
    The components involved are
    1.Photoshop
    2.Wacom Intuos 3
    3.Lion 10.7.4
    Whenever I'm digital painting, which I'm doing professionally, all the time, the colour picking mechanism is not only slow, but doesn't work about 2/3 of the
    time. The next stroke made *after* the colour picking never works either. I do this about ONCE EVERY TWO SECONDS. So it's like being punched
    in the face all day long while you're trying to get some work done.
    Most likely, support staff will attempt to get rid of me saying 'ask wacom' or 'ask adobe.' BUT, here's the process I've gone through.
    1.Tried all three variants of photoshop. They all have issues.
    2.Switched to a different Wacom tablet (identical model), switched three different wacom pens, all identical models. Note that I also
    tested all of these on a Windows machine with the same Photoshop issue, and they all work. And I also tested them all, and photoshop,
    on my old intel powerbook running the same version of Photoshop, and it's fine. That Mac is running Leopard.
    3.I erased my HD, reinstalled Lion (10.7.4 obviously) and installed Photoshop and the Wacom drivers on top of it again. Just one version,
    nothing else to mess with it. Aaaaand, exactly the same issue.
    This has made my Mac unusable and frankly, is having a massive financial impact on me . If anyone can think of anything I've left out, please
    give it a shot. My instinct is that this has narrowed it down to the operating system, and that it's most likely something to do with the GPU. Or the USB bus. Or the application support libraries - but specific to this hardware as, like i say, I've tried another mac with leopard and all is fine.
    HEEEEELP!

    I am having serious Photoshop performance issues as well.
    My Photoshop CS5 was running well until I upgraded to Mac OS 10.7.4. My observations are highly un-scientific, but I am noticing the worst performance in Photoshop when I have my Firefox browser open. It's like the 2 programs are fighting with each other. I am also noticing Flash crash reports on Firefox when Photoshop is open.
    Even with Firefox closed, however, Photoshop CS5 is sluggish and slow with 10.7.4. Even the dreaded beachball coming back into my life.
    I have even erased my hardrive and reinstalled the OS and that did not help.
    Other programs are running fine. Even Firefox runs well when photoshop is not running.

  • Adobe Colour Issues with RAW images

    Hi,
    I have had Photoshop for a long while now and i have a problem. When looking at RAW images they have a green hue on the shadows (this is when previewing them in Bridge, Photoshop and Camera RAW). This problem seems to be solved by minimizing the window and then making it fullscreen again a few seconds later. How ever after this, if i switch to another image and back the green cast is there in the shadows.
    If I print screen it you can see the problems in any other image editor along side a screen show of the "solved" image.
    Does anyone know how to solve this problem. I've added in a screen shot for comparrison.
    Thanks
    Mark
    #CS5 Extended 12.0.4
    P.s. There are much worse images i can upload if people want more clarification or even just to see more of the problem.

    You're saying both of these images were captured from the screen of Photoshop before and after doing your workaround?
    You likely have a display driver problem if so.  You may want to check the web site of the maker of your video card to see if they offer an update for your hardware and OS.  Caveat:  If you have an ATI card, consider installing older version 11.7 instead of Catalyst 11.8 - I've seen problems with the latter.
    Out of curiosity, is your monitor calibrated and profiled?  If not, what color profile do you have associated with it at the OS level?
    For that matter, what OS are you running?

    I shoot with a Canon 7D, have Windows 7 installed on my computer, Adobe CS4 (Bridge & Photoshop). I'm trying to open the CR2 files in Bridge to adjust them before I open them up in Photoshop, but it's giving me an error code saying it's the wrong file type. I downloaded the latest updates for Adobe Raw as well as the DNG converter, however I don't want to have to convert to DNG before opening in Bridge. Please let me know what I can do to open the CR2 files directly in Bridge CS4, thank you!

    Make sure you have the right version...

  • Images appear fine in Photoshop cs6 and cc, but print too dark, and also show too dark in Windows picture viewer. How can I correct this? Is this a Photoshop setting issue or what?

    Images appear fine in Photoshop cs6 and cc, but print too dark, and also show too dark in Windows picture viewer. How can I correct this? Is this a Photoshop setting issue or what?

    Ok, look at your files in Photoshop. What is the profile assigned to them? You can find this out by going to the Status bar at the bottom, clicking on the right-pointing triangle and choosing document Profile from the list.
    Then in Windows, go to your Control Panel > Color Management and add sRGB (if it isn't there) and select it as your default profile.
    I hope that will work.

  • Colour issues LR3

    I shoot ijn Camera RAW on a Canon 5D2 in LR3 and I'm having colour issues; skin tones are often purple/magenta tinted and very difficult to correct. I usually set the WB to Custom and shoot a grey card and set the picture style on the camera to Neutral (why does the WB affect RAW images anyway, I thought it only operated on the jpgs?)
    On import, pics often look ok then resolve into higher contrast, garish colour versions which are less pleasing - have I set a preference incorrectly or am I missing something else?
    All help gratefully received

    When you first import, you see the small embedded JPEG the camera generates. This matches what you see on the LCD but is based on having the camera do the conversions which you're not doing. LR therefore has to build it's own high quality previews but more importantly, that is based on it's current default settings using it's own engine. So just forget what you initially see, you'd not get that unless you set the camera for JPEG.
    The key is setting up a custom default you prefer. You could pick a general DNG profile, move any of the sliders around etc and the, if you option click in Develop, the Reset button toggles to allow you to create a new default. From there you can of course adjust to taste. You'll still have to white balance and so forth but you should try to get a decent 'starting point' from Import on. For WB, might want to set the camera for Auto WB. Note this setting has no effect on your raw data! It's only a suggestion you can accept or alter. With Auto WB, you'll probably find more images come in looking closer to what you want then say forcing Daylight (which would look butt ugly IF those images were shot under Tungsten). Auto IS NOT PERECT by a long shot but since the setting doesn't affect the data, might as well try for something that gets you in the ball park.
    Using any card to WB (and you should use a white, not gray card) again is often just another starting point. You seasson to taste using Tint/Temp. And of course, if you shot a scene at sunset and did this, you'd kill the color expected at that time of day. Bottom line is, when you capture raw, the WB can be anything you wish, anything you think looks good. That would not be the case with a JPEG. If you set it, you're then kind of stuck with that rendering.
    Lastly, creating one or two custom DNG camera profiles can work wonders. Check out the X-rite Passport product. You'll end up with a really great target for balancing as well.

  • Bridge photoshop batch problem

    Hi there,
    After upgrading to Photoshop CS4 from CS3 (new install), I am having a problem with running Photoshop batch from bridge.
    I have actions that work fine when run from Photoshop but fail when run from bridge.
    I don't seem to be able to run any Photoshop actions from bridge without a failure.
    The error messages include:
    "JavaScript code was missing"
    "The command 'Pixel Genius PhotoKit Capture Sharpener Expert' is not currently available"
    As well as other seemingly random "the command .... is not currently available".
    I am running Vista 64 bit.
    If anyone has any ideas - I would appreciate them.
    Thanks,
    Richard.

    Hi there again,
    An update to this problem.
    The problem appears to be with Bridge-Photoshop communication.
    I select images in bridge, choose Tools->Photoshop->Batch.  Photoshop opens and I select the Action to run and click OK.  At this point, if Photoshop had no image already loaded then the Action fails because there is no image, ie. the selected images from Bridge are not opened in Photoshop.  The error messages are consistent with having no image loaded to run the various action tasks on.
    If Photoshop already had an image loaded, then it proceeds to run the Action, once for the number of images I first selected in Bridge, but on the image that was already loaded - not on the images selected in Bridge.
    I have deinstalled and reinstalled Photoshop and all its updates with no change.  Any ideas at all would be appreciated.
    BTW Image Processor works ok when invoked from Bridge.
    Tks,
    Richard.

  • How does the image time stamp display /modification vary among Bridge, Photoshop, and PS Element Org

    I've noticed some discrepancies between times recorded in my image EXIF data as well as the time displayed with images in Bridge and Photoshop Elements Organizer.  For instance I may have a series of images shot within a few minutes of each other.  After having done some manipulation of a subset of the images and later on showing the sequence in both Bridge and PSE Organizer, I have noticed that the time associated with some of the images has changed.  Bridge and PSE Organizer may actually show times that differ by several hours.  It almost looks like the time is converted from the original camera time to UTC and then possibly back to the time zone where my computer is located.  The pattern is not completely consistent and may depend on what Adobe products have been used to adjust or catalog the images.  I'm looking for a good and complete description of how each product handles the image date and time stamp.  I suspect that there is some inconsistency in how this is done across the products.  I'm currently using Bridge / Photoshop CS6 Extended and Photoshop Elements Organizer 10.0 which were recently upgraded from CS 5 and 8.0 respectively.  I also use Adobe Camera Raw 7.1 to edit the Nikon raw files.  This problem appears to predate the upgrade of my products.

    Well, it must be a system-specific bug of some sort that's been introduced, because I was able to create a 4200 x 3500 image made by mapping an image of similar size to a cylinder, and the cylinder would move/rotate in real time.  Of course, I have a completely different video card and system than you do, but I'm just verifying that it's not broken everywhere.
    Rendering isn't hugely fast, but that's not unexpected with a larger image.
    Maybe being more specific would help.  Is your mesh complex?
    Is it something you'd be willing to share online or describe how to create?  I would be happy to try to match what you're doing more thoroughly to see whether I can reproduce the slowdowns.
    Beyond that, I'm not sure what to suggest...  You don't have a lot of RAM to be working on 15 megapixel images, but as you say the thing to concentrate on is that you're seeing quite different performance from the Ps CS6 beta version.

  • LR4 Colour issues

    When I export my images from LR4 to Flickr (or anywhere else on the web) they always appear a bit pinker than in LR. I know LR4 develops in ProPhoto by default and, as is best practice for the web, I always export in sRGB for the web. I don't want to have to 'soft proof' every single photo I take (such a hassle), and I'm guessing this is a discrepency between colour profiles. SO, is there any way I can change LR4 so that I can develop all my images in sRGB instead of proPhoto, as I used to in LR3? There was never a discrepency when I was editing in sRGB in LR3. This has only been an issue since upgrade and it really bugs me!
    Also ~ from the help files proPhoto seems to assume an ability to callibrate your monitor, but not everyone has the means to do this ~ l it's a bit unfair. My monitor has an autocalibration tool and it's colours are pretty accurate, but there is no profiling 'file' that I could use for LR to read & allign itself with.

    I seem to remember being able to CHANGE the develop module in LR3 so that I was working in sRGB.  And when I was working in LR3, on the SAME monitor I never had colour issues between develop and export to Flickr.
    If it's not the profiling, what else is it that's changed?
    Not everybody has the means to buy calibration equipment. It's #1 on my wish list and I am serious about my photography, but I work on a very low budget and can only spend as I earn! I don't buy lenses. I bought one 35mm and that's me ~ everything else it's out of budget right now. A decent calibrator does not come cheap and I see no point buying a cheap one that probably won't be much better than the auto that's already built into my screen!
    I just want to also say ~ when my pictures are professionally printed the colour matching seems fine ~ so I don't actually believe I have a serious monitor calibration issue.

  • Button Colour issues...

    Hi people.
    I'm having some colour issues with my buttons. Not the regular buttons, but the buttons in the picture windows.
    http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v520/DanThe440Man/Random%20Stuff/RolloverColou rs.jpg
    As you'll see in the 1st picture, 'Back To Index' goes Orange when you hover the mouse over it. When you take the mouse off it, it goes grey. On the 2nd picture, in the bottom right, the 'Next' button behaves exactly the same. This is good, because they fit the colour scheme of the website. However, out of the 9 albums I have on my website, this is the only album that does this. All the other albums buttons are white!
    How do I change the colours? I've obviously done it before, but I can't figure out how. Any help appreciated!
    Dan

    Anybody have any ideas? My sites nearly finished....I'm too fussy to let it go!
