Color shift from content window to preview window

I need some help!!!  When I open a photo in bridge the color is vibrant and vivid.  When I click on the photo so I can view it in the preview box the color shifts and becomes dull and flat.  Why is that?  How do I fix it?  After I have viewed the photo in the preview box the color stays as it is after the shift.  So, the color doesn't return to the nice vibrant, vivid color I want to retain from the SOOC.  My photo now retains the dull, flat color it recieved while in the preview box.
Thanks for the help.

Is your thumbnail quality set to Prefer Embedded (Faster)? The thumbnails created that way aren't color managed so that would explain why you're seeing differences between them and the preview

    Your iPod can only be synced with one computer at a time.  If you try to sync it with a new computer/iTunes library, it will replace the contents of the iPod with whatever is in the new library. You should probably disable the autosync functionality first by going to Edit -> Preferences, clicking the Devices tab, and enabling the prevent iPods,iPhones, and iPads from automatically syncing option.
    Before doing anything else,  authorize the new computer with your iTunes Account.  In iTunes, choose Store -> Authorize This Computer and enter in the correct credentials. Either copy a backup file from your old computer to your new one or create a new backup of your iPod in iTunes before letting it sync.
    Then right->click on your iPod Touch from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes and choose Backup. You might also want to take a look at this article to see what it all included in the backup.

  • Color shift problem in Safari and Preview

    I have recently had a color shift in Safari and in Preview.  My monitor is color profiled (using eye-one) and images opened in Aperture, Bridge, Photoshop and the Color Management app look just fine.  However, images on the web-browser (Safari) and in Preview show a definite and disagreeable increase in saturation, particularly in the red-orange range. Is there a suggestion on how to deal with this problem?
    Thanks for the help.

  • Taking photos with my iPhone5c color shifts from photo to square

    When taking photos with my iphone 5c ios7 I notice the color shifts from photo to square. The color changes are noticible. I have auto focus on, flash off, on both formats I click on the image to get exposure and focus and take the photo.

    Hi Rick,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If the colors look different when you take pictures in "photo" and "square" mode, make sure that there are no filters being used:
    Apply a filter:  (iPhone 4s or later) Tap the filter icon to apply different color effects, such as black & white. To turn off a filter, tap , then tap None. You can also apply a filter later, when you edit the photo. See Edit photos and trim videos.
    If you are seeing unexpected results when taking pictures with your iPhone 5c, these troubleshooting steps can help:
    Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try to remain steady while focusing:
    Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
    Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
    Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
    Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
    If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.

  • Color Shift from Quicktime Movie

    Ok, Here is my problem.  When I do a copy and paste into director from a Quicktime movie for the first and last frame of my movie the is a noticible color shift when the movie starts to play on my command and when the movie transitions from the last frame of the QT to the still i have placed at the end of the movie.
    Any ideas?

    My director skills are fairly basic. Any chance you can direct me to  an online tutorial that would walk me through this process?
    Open your Director file. Locate a QuickTime member in your cast library. Open the Property Inspector and navigate it to the QuickTime tab where you should uncheck DTS. Drag this member onto the stage to create a sprite in channel 1 in an otherwise empty section of your score. Open your Message Window and execute the following lines of code, one at a time, by pressing the RETURN key at the end of each line:
    sprite(1).movieTime = 0
    updateStage
    new(#bitmap).image = (the stage).image.duplicate.crop(sprite(1).rect)
    sprite(1).movieTime = sprite(1).member.duration
    updateStage
    new(#bitmap).image = (the stage).image.duplicate.crop(sprite(1).rect)

  • Color shift from one monitor to the next (CS5)

    I'm having a strong color shift in Photoshop going from one monitor to another. It's not a calibration issue because the color shift persists when I drag the window from one to another until I do something with the window, then it will shift (i.e. not exactly when I move the window). I'm essentially experiencing the problem described here, only I'm on Photoshop CS5 and his solution doesn't apply because that option is not available.
    Windows 7 64bit
    Photoshop CS 5 (12.1 x64)
    Note the color change, one part of that image is on one monitor, and the other part on the other. (The left is the correct color fwiw.)
    I'm guessing there's just some setting somewhere I can toggle?

    Thanks for the input Mike, however it doesn't help me. I'm actively working with both monitors and I need the colors to be accurate on both in order to do my job. I'm hoping there's a setting much like there was in CS4 (see my link in original post) so that I can get both monitors to behave the same.
    I should also mention that this problem is unique to Photoshop, I do not have this color shifting problem in any other program (including, for example, Acrobat Reader).

  • Color shift from Photoshop to InDesign?

    I'm using Adobe's Creative Cloud family of apps, which have been color synchronized with Adobe Bridge using the North American General Purpose 2 color setting. All of the files I'm working with are set to CMYK. My Photoshop files are set to 8 bits/channel.
    I just placed several .psd files in an InDesign document and there is a rather large color shift, with the placed image in InDesign being much darker than the Photoshop image. In addition, and even with InDesign's Display Performance set to "High Quality Display", the placed image is not as crisp as the Photoshop image.
    So, my questions are:
    Why is there a large color shift between both apps?
    Why is the placed image not as clean as the Photoshop image?
    What can I do to fix both issues?
    Thanks in advance for your help. 

    First and foremost, do you have a high-quality monitor, and is it properly calibrated and profiled (using an instrument)? Without that, judging color on-screen is like picking the best picture at the TV dealer.
    When you place an image in ID you are looking at a screen preview, not the pixels you see in Photoshop. View > Display Quality > High Quality Display will get you the best quality preview, but it's still just a preview. Turning on Overprint Preview will give you the most accurate color rendition for CMYK.

  • Color shift from LR to CS2

    Hi, I 'edit to PS' from LR, changed mode to 8 bit. Then 'save for web', all the vibrancy went out of the shot and the colors changed, even at high settings.
    Did it again but used LR to save image as jpeg first then opened it in PS and saved for web and colors stayed the same as LR. Is this a bug?..tao jones

  • Color shift on re-import from PS (13.0.1) to LR (4.2), Windows.

    Hi!
    I've got strange subtle color shift from reds to yellows when I'm doing the following:
    1) import my raw files as DNG into LR
    2) edit them in LR
    3) ctrl-E them to edit in PS
    4) edit them in PS (just drawing a dot with the brush tool somewhere, so the file could be saved and re-imported to LR)
    5) save (not "save as") them in PS which bring them back as tifs to LR
    This final tif from PS has some color shift in comparison to the original DNG file. Nothing is edited in PS.
    Furthermore:
    - if I'll open to edit the resulted tif with the color shift in PS once again with the option to use LR adjustments, I'm getting color shift in PS
    - if I'll open to edit the resulted tif with the color shift in PS once again with the option to open the original tif without LR adjustments, I'm getting correct color in PS, as in my original DNG
    LR - ProPhotoRGB
    PS - ProPhotoRGB
    Thanks for any help and suggestions!

    I can't explain why your results are slightly different than mine, but I think I know what is happening. The DNG you posted is very heavily clipped with RawDigger showing about 4Mpixels at 100% RGB. You can download RawDigger to see for yourself:
    http://www.rawdigger.com/
    I noticed you didn't apply any Basic panel settings, which is probably why there is such a large difference between the DNG and rendered TIFF images. LR4 PV2012 uses "image adaptive controls with fairly complex algorithms that interact from top-down:
    Exposure>Contrast>Highlights>Shadows>Whites>Blacks
    In other words the Exposure setting affects how all of the other controls beneath it will function. I agree that it shouldn't matter and that the rendered TIFF should match the raw file, but it looks like the PV2012 rendering engine fails with very heavily clipped images (i.e. large areas of 100% RGB in the raw file) and ‘0’ Exposure setting.
    You can correct this by trying not to overexpose the image during the shoot. For the lighting in this DNG image a -.5EV to -1.0EV exposure bracket would get you closer to a full dynamic range image. You can always clip the highlights inside LR, so there's no need to heavily clip the original shot (especially with studio lighting).
    For the model images you have now I would set LR's Exposure to -.5EV to -1.0EV (i.e. to adjust midtone exposure) and then adjust the other Basic panel setting in a top-down manner. Usually setting -Highlights = +Shadows works best for most images. Next adjust Whites to set your white clipping point (hold down Alt key) and Blacks for the black clipping point. Next tweak Exposure if the midtones are too dark or light and then lastly adjust contrast, which I use sparingly (i.e. ±25).
    Here are the Basic Panel settings I used:
    Exposure -0.50, Contrast 0, Highlights -50, Shadows +50, Whites 25, Blacks -45
    I also adjusted Clarity to -25 to retain the high-key look.
    With the above settings the DNG and Edit in PS TIFF histograms look identical on my system. The key is to adjust Exposure to set the midtones, which helps the PV2012 rendering algorithms to work properly. Please let me know if this works the same on your system.

  • Why won't the color code I am trying to use from a windows machine work on my Mac? Code: PMS7409

    Hi I'm an intern at a telecommunications and management company who are about to release an update on their website and server screens. My job is to create the new graphics and remake the presentation layers. I am also assigned to create a business card template, which is where my question comes. I am give a color code, from a Windows OS, and try to input that code into Photoshop CS6. That color code won't appear. It's a deep orange and the code I am being told is; PMS7409. I'm not sure thats a code (atleast on the Mac), but I haven't used a Windows OS in so long I don't even know if Windows has their own color coding system or what. Can someone help me out and tell me if this is me, my boss, or we're missing something and I'm going to look like an idiot?

    Definitely not a colour code for mac, the only thing I suggest you do is if you get the code on your windows version is to get the other values i.e
    instead and input those into it rather than the #colour code (Hue, Sat, B, R, G B) etc.
    Also ... Colour codes are 6 figures long i.e the one displayed and also black #000000 and white #ffffff
    however the one you gave is 7!

  • Color shift going from trial version to full version CS5

    Hi guys, I have just gone from trial version of CS5 master collection to a full version of master collection CS5 on my PC.
    My trial expired so I uninstalled it completely, then reinstalled fresh from the CS5 DVD. I also updated all of the programs straight after the install. (something which I don't think I did with the trial version).
    My problem now is though I am experiencing quite a big color shift from what the trial version was showing me to what my full version is showing me. (Yes I have checked the color settings, they are all pretty much default North American General Purpose 2)
    In the trial version the colors were correct, but now my file I am working on my "mouve blue have moved into almost a purple appearance."
    Also if I go into acrobat and open the PDF version of the file I was previously working on the colors are also displaying incorrectly when opening the PDF that was created in the trial (which was displaying correct when using the trial). So I guess its not just PS related.
    I have a laptop which is also running a trial version of master collection, and when I copy my file to this machine and open the colors are spot on how they should be (just like they were prior to me going full version) which tells me something has definatley changed in this installed full version of CS5 for me.
    Not sure what I should do, unstall the software and reinstall it without doing the updates?
    PS. Under color managment / advanced, windows color system defaults, my Device profile is: System Default (sRGB IEC61966-2.1)
    Viewing conditions profile: System default (WCS profile for sRGB viewing conditions)
    I havent changed anything there anyway in any install.
    Any help would be great

    Some key points to help understand why you might be seeing what you are:
    When color-management is set up properly with a wide gamut monitor, sRGB images can seem dull and lifeless compared to wider gamut images such as those expressed in Adobe RGB or ProPhoto RGB.
    Not all apps are color-managed, so with e.g. a wide gamut monitor you'll see a significant visual difference between the same image displayed via a color-managed app such as Photoshop and a non-color-managed app such as Internet Explorer 8 and earlier.  Even though the color-managed applications may be displaying accurate color, many folks feel the inconsistency is "wrong" as compared to when more different apps display the same colors, which will happen with sRGB as the monitor profile (which is the Windows default).
    People often consider more vibrant, saturated color "better".
    Color management often does not actually work properly.  Not all profiles are created equal, even properly formatted monitor profiles may not accurately express the monitor's capabilities, and not all color management in applications is done properly.  You're not the first to report problems with a canned Dell monitor profile.

  • Lightroom Export Color Shift

    Exported JPEGs from Lightroom have a significant color shift from how they appear inside LR and PS3, which is a distinct magenta shift and oversaturation.
    I have read a number of related posts here and elsewhere that explain the importance of setting up color management correctly in Windows, LR and PS3. I have done my best to follow all this advice and still cannot export usable JPEGs from Lightroom. I am using a Spyder 3 and have carefully profiled my Dell 2408WFP monitor. I am processing RAW images from a Canon 30D into sRGB JPEGs for web viewing, and have set up LR to export sRGB while PS3 is set to the sRGB working space.
    I have also read that Internet Explorer and other color-unmanaged applications will display images differently. I understand this, but then it seems to me that every image I view inside Windows Picture Viewer or Internet Explorer on this computer would have the same oversaturation and magenta shift that my Lightroom exports do, but this is not the case. Also, my Lightroom-exported JPEGs have an equivalent magenta-tinted and oversaturated appearance on other computers I use, not just my image-editing computer.
    I have set up a web page with example images, screen grabs and system technical information, located here: http://www.dougvetter.com/lightroom
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    >What can I do to get predictable color output that looks good outside a color managed environment? All the web content I look at on this exact same system looks just fine in my browser.
    The only thing you can do is to calibrate your screen and export to sRGB jpegs.
    On average the images will look the same, however very few will look identical simply because there is a lot of variation among screens. The sRGB standard gives you the biggest probability of getting it right. Unfortunately with the current upsurge in people buying laptops, which have in general a far smaller gamut than sRGB (the purple blue problem is caused by bad laptop screens), sRGB is starting to deviate from the average because the average is shifting. At the same time desktop LCDs are giving greater and greater gamut as your DELL display shows. sRGB was designed to represent an average CRT screen. So the crappy quality of laptop LCDs and the refusal of MS to finally live up to their promise of color management in IE is really hurting our chances of getting the right color in front of people.
    What we really need is omnipresent color management and some awareness of computers of their monitor's profiles without having to calibrate, similar to printing profiles being delivered by printer manufacturers. They might not be perfect, but they will be good enough. Lacking that, we can really only try to calibrate our screens and use sRGB for web images.

  • Color Shifts when adding/removing transparency

    I may have used the wrong search terms, so my apologies if this question exists somewhere else
    Using Indd CS2: Assuming that "Overprint Preview" is off I notice a color shift on a layout when transparency is introduced or removed.
    For example: a transparent object or placed image, is either added or taken away from a document that is inherently flat or non-transparent.
    Note: It doesn't matter if the transparent object is affecting any other object on the page. For instance, I could have a polygon square set to multiply somewhere off the artboard. But as soon as I remove that polygon the color of the document shifts slightly. I can prevent this color shift from happening if I move the "Transparency Slider" to "Off" in Preferences>Display Performance. Or use "Fast" for the "Adjust View Settings".
    So I guess I know what causes the shift to take place (+ or - transparency), but I can't explain what is causing the slight color shift. Can anybody help explain this in more detail?
    I do appreciate it.

    Turning on Overprint Preview gives you the most accurate view of how objects on the page will print. It's the preferred way to view the page (though it's normally off to speed up page display).

  • Menu colors shift after build

    OK, so my menus look good in DVDSP, and in the simulator. However, after building, when tested in the DVD Player, they look "washed out". Everything is lighter, less saturated...
    I don't have any fancy broadcast standard video equipment here... but I'm watching DVD Player on the same monitor that I'm using to create the DVDSP project - I'm not that worried (yet) that the color is "accurate" in some way, I just want the DVD Player to look the same as the simulator - are there some settings I need to play with?
    The video content itself does not seem to have a color shift from the simulator - only the menus. I did not make the menus (I mean the elements), I bought some Templates from a company that produces DVDSP Template Packs and loaded them into DVDSP.
    I'm somewhat familiar with the whole issue of color spaces and gamuts etc., but I don't really see any settings in DVDSP to manage this.

    I managed to fix this issue, here's what I did in case anyone else has this problem.
    The issue was that the DVD template I purchased has a motion background, and when you apply the template to a menu (for example), it adds the a QuickTime movie for the background. The fact that DVDSP was rendering the .mov into a .m2v during the build is what caused the color shift.
    I took the .mov background file, and ran it through Compressor to turn it into a .m2v file (with the same preset I used on all my other video), and then imported that asset and applied it to all the menus. After build, no more color shift.
