Wrong color profile after export - what am I doing wrong?

I'm a beginner in color management and color profiles and I have a problem with my exported files from AE CS6 (german version):
In my project settings I've set the working space to "adobe RGB (1998)" which is the same like my footage (JPEG Image-Sequence).
In my Output Module Settings I've set it also to the working space "adobe RGB (1998)".
I' ve tried to export it as h.246 and AVI.
And now the Problem: the exported clips are too bright and washed out. First I thought it is a problem with the Windows Media Player, but I imported the clips again to after effects and the showed Profile is now "HDTV (Rec. 709) Y'CbCr". This is the case with the h.246-clips. The AVI-Clips showed the profile "sRGB IEC61..." So the settings from the Output Module didn't seem to work.
The washed-out-effect disappeared after I set everything to HDTV, but I don't think this is the right way to go..
Thank you for any help

Simple, really: You are using a) a wrong color space b) your system is not calibrated, but you have color management enabled and c) use formats that don't support color management. This is simply wrong from stem to stern, especially with regards to b) and c). Why would you even use Adobe RGB when video works on Rec 709 or even more generic sRGB? I think you do not even understand the point of CM on a fundamental level. you don't dictate the color space by your source files, you simply import them into your working color space - regardless of whatever it is set to. The color metrics engine will apply any corrections necessary based on the associated/ embedded profiles, which ultimately is the whole point. Conversely, enabling CM for output will require a format that actually uses those corrections, which comes down to only a handful. so to cut a long story short: Unless you are willing and technically able to establish a proper CM workflow simply leave it off and just use the default sRGB that AE ever has used.

  • After doing some editing in Lightroom I want to continue the edit in CS 5 but Lightroom is not exporting the edited version, this has not happened before, what am I doing wrong please? anybody

    After doing some editing in Lightroom I want to continue the edit in CS 5 but Lightroom is not exporting the edited version, this has not happened before, what am I doing wrong please? anybody

    You should be getting an error message that PS CS5 requires a higher version of ACR with two options "render using Lightroom" or "open anyway". You should choose the first option. If you are not seeing the error message then go to your Lightroom prefrences >General Tab> under Prompts> select "Reset all warning dialogs", then try the edit in function again.

    I appreciate you taking the time to copy and paste boilerplate responses to increase your points in this forum, but I've already read all those support articles in depth; but you have barely read my post at all. Please don't guess a fix. Only someone with the latest versions of iMovie, iOS, iPhone, Yosemite, and MacBook Pro is qualified to troubleshoot this, because anyone would immediately see that the following option no longer exists:
    Open iMovie on your Mac, and choose File > Import > iMovie for iOS Project.
    Read my post before you reply: It clearly says in the title and within my post that I can neither export nor import through iTunes without receiving an error message. So your response neither solved my question nor helped me whatsoever.

  • DNG files rendered with wrong color profile?

    Does someone else also have a problem with DNG (digital negative) files showing incorrect colors when opened in Apple software (Preview, iPhoto, Aperture..)?
    I have a Nikon D750 and currently consider using DNG as archive format for my RAW files.
    But the converted DNG files are shown with a wrong color profile when opened via Apple's own camera raw framework...
    It works in Adobe software - such as Lightroom - but any software using the OS X internal camera raw framework seems to use the wrong color profile when opening the DNG. Note that the original D750 NEF files are opened and rendered correctly.
    I am using OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 with the latest Camera Raw Compatibility Update 6.02 installed.
    On the Adobe side, it is Lightroom 5.7 and DNG Converter 8.7.1.
    I tried all kinds of different conversion settings. It does not seem to make a difference whether I embed preview images in the DNG or not, whether I shoot in 12 or 14bit RAW, and whether I include the original RAW file into the DNG or not. I also tried to explicitly select the 'Camera Standard' color profile in Lightroom first and then export the DNG, but still on the OS X side the resulting image looks wrong as compared to the original NEF.
    Any other Nikon user here who could verify my problems?

    A few simple tests on your end may help you better understand:
    1. Capture the same image (same camera settings in RAW and JPEG)
    2. Open these images in Canon DPP - they will be a close match, this is because Canon DPP and the Canon camera itself use similar RAW processing algorithms
    3. Open convert the CR2 to DNG, and open the CR2, DNG, and JPEG in Adobe Camera RAW - the CR2 and DNG should be a very close (if not identical) match if you use the same processing settings for each, since they are both being processed by ACR's algorithms; the JPEG will probably not match as it was processed with Canon's algorithms
    What you are seeing is at the HEART of raw processing, and has nothing to do with color spaces or with DNG being at fault. The very nature of RAW processing means every processor (DPP, ACR, CaptureOne, etc) will produce different results by default - that's not to say that with some adjustments you can't match one processor's results to another, but it won't be the case by default.
    The choice of RAW processor has FAR more an impact on your results than color space - in fact color space should have virtually no visual impact, though depending on the scene photographed you might have better gradations in some color spaces, better handling of highly saturated colors in some, but the overall look should remain close regardless of color space choice.
    Further, as has been pointed out by others, raw files (which includes CR2 and DNG) do not have a color space - raw files are by definition raw image data which has yet to be processed into a color space. When you see color space assignments in RAW processors, that is relevant to the files you create FROM the raw files, not relevant to the raws themselves.
    Before bringing inflammatory language and false assumptions to a forum with a high level of expert membership you might want to research the issue, and devise some simple tests (like above) to help you understand the issue first.

  • What am I doing wrong with Export  w/ Action?

    OK, I am starting to love "stacking and virtual copys" of a combination of DNG,PSD,JPG ... all in the same folder.
    So, now I want to "stack" everthing that is generated from the original DNG file ... virtual copys, PSD & JPG. Much cleaner (thank's adobe!) and the Ctrl+E/stacking works like a charm, even with CS3 beta.
    Now, that I am loving "stacks" and having everything in a Day's shoot Folder (with NO sub-folders)... this is my problem:
    In CS3 I created a Action (converted to Droplet and put in LR actions folder) ... it's my usual Portrait plug-in and USM action ... the GOAL is to select all the DNG's in a Folder of the days shoot ... and Export it to PSD,16bit and RUN the action.
    In theory I should end up with all the PSD's in the same folder ... and be able see and "stack" these to the matching DNG's.
    * But, nooo ... when I run the export ... the PSD are in the same folder ... but, I cannot import it back into the Libary??? strange.
    LR tells me it's there ... but shows me the DNG (not the PSD)
    * What am I doing wrong?
    fyi: if you want to know what my goal is ... well, all I want to do is run the action ... and end up with a "stacked"
    1) DNG original
    2) PSD after the action is done (I have got to this point ... but it is not stacked and is not viewed in the LRv1 Library. (nor can it be imported) ... guess this is my biggest problem, right now.
    3) JPG that is converted to my Lab ICC profile .. generated from the PSD. (what I was going to do here is just select all the PSD files and Export and run another action)
    4) WEB JPG from my PSD.
    * note: after I generate a PSD ... I really want to get all my jpg's from the PSD files ... at that point.
    Since Adobe LR has got me HOOKED on using "Stacks" and virtual copys in LR ... I would like to run ALL my actions from LRv1 and after the Export+action is done, have the results back in the same folder "STACKED" to it's DNG file.
    * Now, THAT'S what I call POWERFUL! ... running an export+action and having the "result" back in the same folder "stacked" to it's DNG!!!
    So, there's a great function that will make LR the "killer app" (for me) ... have LR "image process" from the DNG or PSD and have it come back to the same folder "STACKED"!
    (so now ... everyone that wants that power will need to buy both CS3 & LR ... sounds like it's good for me and good for Adobe)
    Did I make this post too long? lol HG

    Thanks H-G.
    It won't stack automatically but perhaps autostack by capture time might work for most of them. You may need to sort out a few but most should work given the right timing (like 1 sec or something maybe)
    I try with the site, but the problem is that Lightroom for most people is a completely new way of doing things and people don't want to get their heads around this. I've been in since I saw a post on B1 in the Rob Galbraith news page the day after it was released. So I've grown with it.
    It's not feature complete, but then neither is V10 of Photoshop! It's still really good for a v1 tool though. Like someone else said, it's not a religious icon, but if it works for us great. I'm happy with it. I still use both PS CS and PSE as well, just not as much.
    Keep looking at lightroom-news.com too. We've a bunch of stuff planned.

  • Color change after exporting from Lightroom

    I noticed a drastic color change after exporting a file from Lightroom to a JPEG file today. I have been using Lightroom for a while, and it never happened before. I am assuming that I changed the setting somehow and I cannot find how to fix it.
    Here is the original.
    After exporting to a JPEG. The color is so drastically different. I tried both sRGB and AdobeRGB and they turn out to have the same problem.
    It is not as clear as JPEG files, but edited files with Photoshop CS5 also looks slightly different viewed on Lightroom.
    I would appreciate it if anyone could help me.  Thank you so much for your help!

    Thanks everyone for looking into my problem!
    >Can you upload a sample of each
    >* Raw File
    >* XMP Sidecar
    >* Exported JPEG
    I somehow can't find XMP sidecar files in my folders.... So instead, I exported the JPEG file to the 2nd JPEG file, hoping you can compare those two JPEG files.
    The colors get lighter and lighter every time I export the files. I uploaded those files (RAW, 1st JPEG, 2nd JPEG) on line. I also changed the file samples from the original post because I can't add watermarks.
    I checked my flles, but there is no preset applied to the JPEGs.
    I am thinking of unistallng Lightroom and reinstalling it and see what happens.
    Thanks!

  • Color profile for export in Aperture 3.0.3

    Hi
    What is the best color profile for exporting in aperture 3.0.3 (specially, if the pictures are used for stock). I normally use the export version TIFF or PNG original. Is ADOBE 1998 or sRGB or something else? In Photoshop I have sRGB.
    Thank you for your advice.

    Colour Profiles don't have a best one. It is a way of matching colour produced by one type of device so that it is reproduced by another type reasonably well. Allan

    I am trying to print a color photo on my MacBook Pro from iPhoto (not using Photoshop) using Epson 2200 printer, and everything I do in the Color Matching and Print Settings results in a photo with a pink cast to it. What am I doing wrong?

    Have you checked the ink cartridges and made sure the nozzles are clear? Are you able to print from outside of iPhoto with the correct color?
    Try the following: make temporary copy of the library and do the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

    I have an I Pod Nano and would get messages to update my software.  In my I Tunes I have 1,900 songs but after the updates it will only sync 933 songs.  My current software version is 1.0.2.  What am I doing wrong or is it something in the software.  I have not done anything different in my I Tunes and all songs are checked.  Could someone please help or advise me what to do?

    Thank you Gail, but not to be ignorant but can I send you a print screen on what I am looking at.  I will try am explain what I see: I hooked up my I Pod Clicked on Music checked Sync Music 1909 Songs select Playlist, Artists, albums, and genres checked Include music videos Playlists checked 50's Music checked 70's Music checked 80's Music checked 90's Music checked 2000 Music checked 2010 Music   These are songs that I downloaded onto my I Tunes.  I bought me a new computer but when my data was transferred from old computer to new computer a lot of my songs on my hard drive were lost, but they were able to save all my songs on I tunes.  My I Pod is still connected Clicked on "On this Ipod" Music 938  Songs 2.2 days So my question to you is if I have 1,909 songs on my ITunes how come only 938 transferred to my IPod.  I checked my IPod and it shows only 938 songs transferred.  This did not happen before until I Tunes asked me if I wanted to update to a newer version.  Last month I did have all my 1,909 songs on my I Pod.  I hope this explains what I am asking

    Murray is right. Padding (and margins) is added to the width. However, when using percentages, you should never use figures that add up to exactly 100%.
    Browsers need to convert the percentages to pixels. Because pixels must be whole numbers, some percentages are rounded up, which results in the final element dropping down below its neighbours. With percentages, it's much safer to use values that add up to 98% (99% often works, but 98% is safer).

    Is the computer getting internet via the TC?
    Are you using wireless or ethernet?
