5D Markiii and a green color cast

Does anyone else experience a green cast/tint to their images while shooting in JPG with a 5DMkiii? I shoot using AWB and have even adjusted the color on the quick screen histogram to try and compensate....but skintones consistantly look green. My monitor is calibrated and I've tried shooting using custom white balance and Kelvin. Nothing helps.

White balance frustration is 1/2 the reason I always shoot RAW and not JPG. It alone is as big a factor as all the other reasons combined in my own thinking. So much more latitude to fix WB in RAW.
Quite so. Fluorescent lights especially can generate spurious colors that are hard to correct. The imitation light bulbs with an embedded fluorescent tube are often the worst offenders. I have one in my desk lamp at work, and it projects a disagreeable green tint on the gray walls. (Since those walls have several of my pictures on them, it's particularly annoying.) Fortunately, those bulbs are losing ground to LEDs, whose light is more pleasing to the eye and figures to be more familiar to cameras and photo editors. Canon provides a "white fluorescent" WB setting, but I think it's aimed at removing excess pink, not excess green.

My manipulated images come out with a green color cast and poor quality

I manage my photos with ACDSee, but use Photoshop CS3 for much of my editing. The image leaves ACDSee with rich true colors, and while I'm editing in Photoshop the image looks like I want it. But when I save the image and view it in ACDSee, it now is faded, has a green color cast and looks faded, dull and shallow. What do you think is happening? Thanks. Rickrans

One other place to look.... If you shoot raw images, there's a separate configuration for the color space the Camera Raw converter delivers its results in. Click the little link at the bottom-center of the Camera Raw dialog. If you want to work in the sRGB color space, change it as shown here:

Preview has a green color cast

Howdy,
I am having an issue with Preview where it gives my images a green color cast and higher saturation/contrast. This also happens when I look at them in Safari. BUT the images look fine in Photoshop, Firefox, Capture One RAW software and any other non-apple software.
Please let me know if you have any idea as to what is happening! Thanks!

Everybody, report preview problems to apple at:

My biggest problem in preview 4.0 is it freezes while trying to view large images across four apple LCD's. Sometimes I see a gray screen.

Why is my black and white video showing purple/green color cast from ProRes 422 h264?

When transcoding from ProRes 422 to h264 in Adobe Media Encoder, I'm seeing both green and purple color cast on my black and white video. ProRes on top, h264 on bottom.

Another example:

What do you make of the fact that the same video, encoded in MPEG Streamclip does not have the issue on the same hardware, played in Quicktime Player?
A valid data point for consideration, but the only way to know with certainty is to get the image onto a calibrated TV.
Observation will always trump deduction. So...observe! (Just be sure to do it accurately with a calibrated TV.)
The Vimeo preset is creating H.264 MP4 files. AVCHD is a very specific subset of the H.264 codec, and cannot be generated by PP.

Adobe Camera RAW (All Versions) Import Canon .CR2 / RAW images with an orange / green color cast.

All versions of Adobe Camera RAW including the latest 7.3 import .CR2 images with a greenish / orange color cast.
Tested on 7D, and 5D III
Makes Hardwood floors, and flesh tones look abysmal.
Canon's Digital Photo Professional renders the colors fine, as does ACDSee 5.0 Pro (when viewing) Exporting from ACDSee however is another story as things look even worse than Adobe. DPP can export perfectly.
Changes to Color Gammut / Space have little or no effect.

Good day!

Pink color cast on macbook pro 15" with retina display

Hi,
I just got my very first apple computer a few weeks ago, but I had a annoying pink color cast of the display.
I changed my first deivce but even the 2nd had the same issue..
I noticed, that even the Apple logo shines in a pink cast, so it seems to be an issue of the display light itself.
Trying to calibrate the display with a spyder did not work, i got a very strange green color cast what seems to be clear, if the main problem is not the display itself,
but the display light.
I went to the Apple Sore in Hamburg and I found out, that all new macbook pros 15" with retina display had the same issue, but not older macbooks or some macbook pro 15" with retina display from clients.
As a photographer, I find this pink cast very annoying and I gave back my 2nd macbook pro 15" with retina display..
Is there a way, to get a macbook pro 15" with retina display without a pink cast, where the Apple logo shines in pure white instead of a pink color cast?
I don´t want a pink apple logo, nor a display with a pink cast..

WOW 0_o
Go back and get another one.. They will certainly try and make your day better by offering free items, try to get Apple Care free.
In all my time as being a technician I am going to have to put you on a list I have prestigiously placed for situations like these.

Basically.. It's a list of all the people that have had to get a computer / part replaced and received the same issue again after the replacement.
HERE IT IS:

Magenta Color Cast in Center of Photos

My photos seem to have a very heavy magenta cast on the central portion of the photo. There also seem to be green/blue casts at the edges. I have tried resetting the phone and all the other basic fixes...

I have the exact same problem and it is quite pronounced. As a photographer, I know that this is considered a typical problem on some high end digital camera systems. It is typically caused by the angle of light hitting the sensor at certain angles and creating different color casts at different lens positions. One high end systems, this is solved using a semi-opaque white filter to isolate the colors and then apply a lens cast correction to all affected photos. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to do this same thing with my iPhone images because they are jpegs and not RAW. I'll keep looking but if someone else has figured it out, I would love to know how to fix this. Its really distracting.

How to easily spot color cast in aperture

Hi,
I am having difficulties to properly spot/analyze a color cast in my (scanned from color negatives) images. There is no neutral grey or white present and I'd like to get a handle on correcting this color cast without just trial and error (and making things worse)
Any hints or ideas? Pointing me to a resource on the web to find out how?
(Spotting and correcting the color cast in my scanning software (Silverfast Ai) didn'd work as well)
Thanks a bunch,
Rolf

Hi Rolf -- you're question is not really answerable. Color is almost entirely subjective -- we color our world in our brains, and then we make machines to mimic this (digicam sensors don't record color -- they record luminance as filtered through known colored gels). Your question presumes an objective standard of color correctness. That does not exist.
Nevertheless, you can at least maximize your ability to get the colors as close to "right" as you can. For that you need a color-calibrated workflow, from input (scanner) to output (whatever). There is much information on this on the Web. For Aperture, you'll want a hardware photospectrometer to calibrate your monitor(s) and whatever paper you print on (if you print). I use a Color Munki Photo, and recommend it or something similar. (X-Rite has recently announced a revamped product line.) X-Rite also makes a calibration tool called a Passport. This has several colors and shades of gray of known hues. In use, you make an exposure of these colored squares, and then use them to set the white balance. You might be able to something similar with a scanner. (I don't use one, and don't know anything about scanner calibration.)
HTH. Sorry not to know more.

Removing color casts, and correcting colors to match reference materials? any guides/tutorial/videos

I have been looking for tutorials showing how to use SpeedGrade. I am now comfortable with the UI enough to use it after watching these: http://www.youtube.com/user/AdobeTV/videos?query=speedgrade
I am looking for tutorials that show how to do a couple things, first I would like to be able to remove any color casts. In photoshop to do this you can use a curves layer and use the set white point color picker and click somplace that is supposed to be white. and in premier you could do something similar using the Fast Color Corrector. So basically I am looking for a way to target an area in a frame that should be grays, In Anime, the eyes generally will always be shades of gray, so that is what I would target usually when working with anime in photoshop/premiere. If anyone knows of a tutorial that shows how to do this type of color cast removal color correction in SpeedGrade could you please share a link.
Some of the older 80's and 90's anime on film, the film has aged and that is where the color cast came from. There is also a loss of color information across the board. For instance in the below picture. The sky is supposed to be more blue instead of teal/sea green.
Another thing is back in the 80s and 90s a lot of Anime worked from limited color palletes; something like maybe 16 colors total, so a lot of colors are used repeatedly. So even with only a limited amount of reference material I should be able to get the corrections close. (I dont have reference clips for every single episode, only a handful of scenes from a handful of episodes.)
I have some reference material showing approximately what the colors should be. So my next question is if anyone knows of any tutorials/guides/videos showing how to use SpeedGrade to color correct a clip so that the colors match up with the colors used in a reference clip
I was also wondering about auto correction based on a reference clip, although I am guessing this is still not possible.
When I watched the websiminar: http://seminars.adobeconnect.com/_a227210/p738pxm9zs0/ at about 43 minutes into it, a feature is shown that automatically adjust the color using a clip that contains a colorchart.
I was wondering if a tool like that could analyse a clip start to finish, to create a pallete of used colors, and then compare that to the colors used in another clip and correct them. (a feature like this would probably be more useful/accurate in anime than it would liveaction but who knows.)
Another UI related question:
I did have one question, the only place I see to access the colorwheels is in the looks tab, my video I am working on, just manages to fit at 100% in the monitor.
So I would prefer to hide or collapse the different looks(maybe even with a hotkey) so that I can access the color tools that it is covering, I attached a picture of what I am talking about. I know pressing "P" hides everything at the bottom, and figured maybe there is already a way to hide/minimize/collapse the look presets to access the tools behind them without shrinking down the size of the monitor preview.

There is a special grading filter called "Color match" which can assist in cross-referencing the black/white/gray levels from one playhead to another but it's not documented yet. The suggested way to set black/white/gray points in Sg is to adjust it visually, using the waveforms as a guide, but there's no chance of doing that for something as small as a character's eye. There's no "eyedropper" picker on the primary grading panel because Sg isn't a correcting tool, but a cinematic grading tool. 99% of the time the end result of an Sg grading session is a long way from what the camera pixels actually recorded.
If all you are doing is reversing a color cast then Speedgrade isn't the right tool to use - you should be working in Premiere Pro (with the Fast or 3-Way Color Correctors). If you're a Photoshop person the UI is much more recognizable, it'll handle all the native footage you can throw at it, and you get your B-G-W eyedroppers.
In Speedgrade CS6 you cannot hide the Presets panel in the Look or Mask tab. The UI is really designed for use in a two-monitor system (which all professional colorists will have), and/or with a hardware controller (which means you can keep the entire bottom panel hidden).

Hi All, I just installed PS CC 2014 and Deleted PS CS6. I have a HUGE problem! The Liquify Filter on PS CC 2014 is not working. When the filter comes up, my photo is reduced to two color fields - bright turquoise and lime green! Can anyone help me? I

Hi Everyone,
I just deleted PS CS6 and installed PS CC 2014. I'm trying to use the Liquify Filter and it does not work. When I click on the Liquify Filter, my photo does not appear properly. The photo appears as two flourescent color fields - bright turquoise and lime green! Can anyone help me with this? Also, does anyone know if I can re-install Photoshop CS6?

Hi Everyone....I figured it out. Strangely, although I had NEVER used Liquify in PS CC 2014....I just realized that in Liquify Advanced Mode that the "SHOW MASK" option was on by default! I unchecked SHOW MASK. Everything is OK. Whew! Tks!

Okay before my ipod power and volume buttons werent working but i never dropped it, then one day i was in a app and my ipod froze so i held the home button down and the screen went a bright green color and isnt showing up in itunes

okay I just recently bought a ipod touch 4thG and im already having issues. recently the power and volume buttons stopped working after i syncd my ipod, i shrugged it off figuring it would come back i could live without it. but today I was on my ipod while it was charging and the screen just froze so i pressed and held the home button (being that's the only button that actually works) then the screen turned this bright yellowish lime green color and its not responding to ANYTHING! my computer isnt even reading it when i plug it up into itunes! so what should i do? can anyone help me? i feel like i just wasted $200...

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

How to reduce purple color cast in high ISO Nikon D4 and D810 photos

In low-light photos taken with my D4 and D810 I often (but not always) get a severe purple color cast in the dark areas of the photo. I'm going to try posting a link to an example of one such photo, which I've put in my Dropbox account. I hope this works:
Dropbox - Example of magenta color cast-001.jpg
If the link works, you'll see what I mean: the dark areas are purple, not black as they should be. This was taken at the dress rehearsal for a play at ISO 3200, about the lowest ISO that I could get away with. The purple cast seems more pronounced along the edges of the photo.
I've read a bit about "amp glow"; is that what I'm seeing here? If it is, what can I do about it? Turning the camera off and on again and again to try to cool the sensor and the nearby electronics isn't much of an option.
And whether it's "amp glow" or something else, is there a good way to deal with it in Lightroom? I've had some success with reducing the purple saturation (and sometimes the purple luminance as well) in the "HSL" panel, but that becomes a problem if there are important elements in the photo which are SUPPOSED to be purple.
Any and all advice would be welcome.

Interestingly, my e-mail says there was another post about how to reduce the purple cast with proper in-camera settings, but now that post seems to have been deleted (by the poster? by somebody at Adobe?)
The poster (Drugstore) may have deleted the post after reading further because it may not have been relevant......just a guess. If you're shooting raw format the in-camera settings such as white balance are not applied to the image file, but they are for JPEGs. The suggestions I provided are applicable to both JPEG and raw image files, but you'll get the best results using raw format.
dorffersmatt wrote:
1) You said that you sometimes see the purple cast with your D4 and D810 if the white balance isn't set properly. What would you consider a proper white balance setting for a situation such as this one? It was the dress rehearsal for a play, with constantly shifting lighting. I just left the white balance on "Auto"; how would you have approached the situation?
Again, this only applies to JPEG format image files. For raw image files the WB EXIF data is read and set accordingly inside LR. For JPEGs the image data has the (incorrect?) WB applied in-camera, which compromises the dynamic range of the JPEG 8-bit/color data. Raw files are 16 bit/color.
dorffersmatt wrote:
2) You said that you also sometimes see it if "you activate the lens correction in LR while in raw mode and exposure is too low." Could you elaborate on that? Do you mean that I shouldn't use "Enable profile corrections" in the "Lens Corrections" panel?
I'm guessing this refers to what you call "amp glow" (amplifier glow). It usually appears as a higher exposure level around the edge of the image and may be confined to one area (top, bottom, sides). By turning off Lens Profile corrections ( "Enable profile corrections") Vignetting correction is not applied, which reduces the exposure level in the corners and frame edges. Some cameras automatically apply distortion and/or vignetting correction in-camera when shooting in JPEG format. Again, this is just another reason why you want to use raw format to get the best results inside LR.
