Adobe RGB changed to sRGB after export in Aperture 2.1.1 Why?

I have tried taken pictures with color profile Adobe RGB, but all images exported via Aperture 2.1.1 shows up as sRGB in the EXIF. Does Aperture convert the color profile somewhere?

When exporting, you get to choose your color profile. The export pre-set you chose uses sRGB. So, after choosing your export preset, click on the preset drop-down menu again and go all the way down to "Edit". This will allow you to change the profile to Adobe RGB from sRGB. That setting now will always be used for that pre-set. If needed, you can create other pre-sets by clicking the plus symbol in the bottom left corner of that edit dialog box.

  • RGB color in inDesign changes (washed out) after exporting it to PDF

    Hi,
    I am new to InDesign and i have a hard time figuring out how could I export my InDesign file to PDF without affecting the color.
    This is what I do.
    1. I created a new document with Transparency Blend Space set to Document RGB
    2. I created a box using the rectangle tool and filled it up with RGB color, R=126 G=12 B=110
    3. The color in Indesign is just how i wanted it, however, the problem arises when i export the file now to PDF
    4. Instead of the color i wanted, the color was changed to a lighter color, or washed out.
    5. THis happens even in text have the same RGB setting.
    How could I export it to PDF with the same color, without being washed out?
    I really appreciate your help on this. Thanks.

    That sounds like the Color Picker, which works a bit differently in ID than in Illustrator or Photoshop. If the cursor is not in one of the RGB fields when you say OK you won't get RGB color. You can see this by noting the text in the Add ... Swatch button. My guess is you added the color as the CMYK conversion which is a bit lighter.
    You might want to use the panel menu in the Swatches panel instead, or the new swatch button at the bottom of the panel while holding down the Alt key to open the new swatch definition dialog. You want to create a Process color and change the type to RGB, then enter the values in the RGB fields. Or if what you want is really Pantone 249U you can define a Spot swatch and choose Pantone Solid Uncoated and then specify the 249. I'll warn you though, that CS6 uses Lab values for displaying spot colors and 249U is considerably lighter than either the RGB you specified or the 249C. In earlier versions the book value conversions were used. Even when using Lab display values through Ink Manager in CS5, the coated and uncoated swatches incorrectly look the same in ID, and in Illustrator CS5 you would need to turn on overprint preview to see a difference.
    Here are a couple of screen captures from PDFs exported from ID CS5 and CS6 using High Quality Print. The colored boxes with the lables were pasted from Illustrator CS5 to be sure I was using the same color definitions and that theywere behaving as native objects. Below are the same boxes placed:
    and here is how the screen looked in CS6 in ID (notice the difference in the placed .ai file -- the screen preview is NOT using the Lab values, although it exports with them):
    I don't know what the content is and how you present it, but it doesn't sound like a web page. That said, if you choose Web for intent in Document Setup you can still use print size paper sizes for the document and change the rulers after the doc is created to read inches or millimeters or other units of your choice instead of pixels and the file will use default RGB swatches and default to RGB when making new colors.

  • Book profiles change from RGB 1998 to sRGB when exported

    My printer guy tells me that when I export a book from Aperture, the profile it attaches is srgb and I want Adobe RGB1998 which I've change the presets to do, but they change on conversion to a pdf file How can I fix this? I need the color space of RGB1998 and srgb is killing my colors. Anyone got an answer to this!!!

    In 99% of cases you want the RAW file.
    Can I ask why you're shooting RAW+JPEG?  In general, unless you have a very specific workflow (i.e. shooting 2000 shots for a sporting event, and getting them to an editor), a RAW-only workflow makes a lot more sense than RAW+JPEG because with Aperture you can create a JPEG from the RAW any time you want.
    So keep the RAW file.  But Aperture will import them both, and managing that takes more work and effort unless you have a very specific reason for shooting RAW+JPEG.

  • Why black and white photo changed back color after exported?

    The photo I took shows up in black and white but after I exported the photo, none are black and white.  Why is that?
    I can see it as black and white while on the iphone.

    You need to duplicate your color photo. 
    1. Open your color photo in PSE11 Full Edit expert tab (A raw photo will open in camera raw so click the open image button too send it to the PSE interface)
    2. On the Top menu click Layer >>Duplicate Layer >>OK
    3. On the top menu click Enhance >>Convert to Black & White >>OK
    4. If you can’t see the layers pallet to the right click Window >>Layers
    5. In the layers pallet click add layer mask (the icon with a small circle)
    6. Make sure your foreground color is set to black then select the brush tool
    7. Click the mouse over the area where you wish to reveal color and use like an eraser to reveal the background below
    8. To correct errors switch the foreground color to white, then switch back to black and continue
    9. Save as PSD to preserve your layers and if you wish make a jpeg copy from the PSD file using File >> Save As
    N.B. if your brush is too big or too small you can use the square bracket keys to adjust the size up or down.
    The smart brush tool has black & white options but it does involve making selections which can be more tricky than using the ordinary brush.

  • Photos not retaining edits after exporting and uploading to Pinterest.  Why?

    After I export my edited photos from Lightroom the edits will not show up on the photos when uploaded to certain websites...ie Pinterest, NatGeo photo sites. My photos look horrific,colors are muted and gross.  What's wrong???  They look fine on my laptop photo viewer and they look great in Lightroom.   They look fine on my wordpress blog too.  So frustrating.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Adobe RGB to SRGB export Lightroom CC

    Hello
    I am getting quite the discoloration when exporting my Adobe RGB photos into SRGB with Lightroom.
    Some colors like blue gets heavily saturated, while reds/browns hidden inside in grass and foliage gets an ugly boost, making grass look very unatural.
    This color shift is visible in both Windows Explorer, XN Viewer and when i import the exported photos into Lightroom itself. Adobe RGB exports looks great. SRGB looks whacky.
    Is there any trick i can use to get more accurate color conversion in Lightroom? Right now its kind of Texas.

    I have put your file through my Lr setup and this what I found.
    1) Paper gamut warnings are very different from yours, noticeably I don't get any warning on the top left corner of the blue sky and get warnings is less of your backpack than you do
    2) I virtually get no monitor warnings (just some gamut warnings on the backpack)
    3) This is a screenshot of an AdobeRGB export and sRGB export (100% quality and 300 pixels per inch) [I have sent you the originals via Dropbox, please see private message]
    Perhaps the sRGB is a bit darker but the there isn't a huge difference between the sky.
    It could be your profile and/or your wide gamut display (as @twenty_one has said). My display is a Samsung S27B970, calibrated 2 days ago with an i1 Display Pro from x-Rite.
    Have a read through Tony Jay replies to this recent thread Soft proofing sRGB on wide gamut monitor - Lightroom Forums. It might be worth to soft proof using your monitor profile, which is what Tony Jay is doing for image 5 in his 1st reply to that thread.
    Edit: Tony Jay replies are a year old, so not that recent.

  • Camera set to sRGB, Opens as Adobe RGB

    I have a Canon 5D, color space set to sRGB. When opening RAW file in Camera Raw 5.0, it opens as Adobe RGB. How can I fix this?
    Thanks!

    > Wouldn't that be true only if you were targeting a smaller space, like sRGB?
    Factual clipping, i.e. pixel saturation on the raw level has nothing to do with the intention regarding the processing of the raw image. If pixel saturation is reached, then the raw pixel value is invalid.
    The issue is, how one can achieve an in-camera conversion, which resembles the closest the raw data, in order to be able to tell how the actual exposure was. There are several steps, which can not be neutralized for the in-camera conversion, one of them being the color space conversion. Furthermore, the spectral characteristics of the color filters play a huge role in this question, so my suggestion is camera model related.
    For example re the Nikon D300 I suggest using Adobe RGB in-camera. This is, because Nikon changed the color filters for the D300 sensors from the previous models very much. They are almost always changed from one model to another, but this change was extraordinarily big: the transmissity of the red range is much larger in all three filters than with other sensors. This has lead lots of photographers believe that the "red channel overexposes" (which occurs very seldom, practically nie before green saturation). Thus my (unproven!) suggestion is, that the in-camera histogram and clipping indication of the D300 gets closer to reflecting the raw data with Adobe RGB than with sRGB.

  • Converting RGB images (sRGB or Adobe RGB) to 709 color space.

    I'm trying to determine the correct way to convert RGB images (sRGB or Adobe RGB) to 709 color space.  I can't just use the "covert to profile" function to do this because it does not produce results that fall within the 16 to 235 range that 709 dictates.  I've read that you can simply use the "Levels" adjustment and change the output levels to 16 to 235.  While this would clearly compress the luminance to the correct range, I'm not entirely clear if the end result would be a proper conversion (i.e. if color and gamma, for example, would be technically correct.)
    I noticed that converting the profile to "HDTV (Rec. 709)" does alter the image, so I'm wondering what the result would be if I did both this AND used the levels control to compress the output range to 16 to 235.
    Thanks for any feedback on this.

    (1)
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rec._709
    (2)
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rec._601
    The transfer functions for Rec.709 (1) refer to the range [0..1] or for 8 bits per pixel [0...255].
    It seems that the clipping, black=16 and white=235 has to happen after the application of the
    transfer function. If this should be true, then we don't have a level compression but a level
    clipping at both ends, as already for Rec.601 (2), like here:
    The ICC-Profile HDTV(Rec.709) in Photoshop contains the primaries and the white point
    (both like that in sRGB) and the transfer functions for [0..1], coded by a LUT with high resolution,
    as found by Profile Inspector. There is no clipping.
    By the way, that`s the internal profile name, I don't know the file name of the profile.
    Softproofing, source in sRGB, target HDTV(Rec.709), without clipping:
    With numbers not preserved: no change of the appearance, as expected.
    With numbers preserved: shows the effect of different effective gammas. 
    Your questions are very clear and I'm not sure whether my comments help. The information
    in the internet is not convincing.

  • Open with External Editor Profile sRGB instead of Adobe RGB

    Hi,
    I know in the export presets I can adjust what profile aperture will use. But what about when I open with External Editor. I like doing this because I can open my image in PhotoShop make my adjustments then save it and have aperture manage my files. But when I do this it opens the file with Adobe RGB, my lab and I sometimes want Adobe RGB. How can I change this without exporting the file and reimporting the file. Thanks.

    Aperture uses a color space larger than AdobeRGB and sRGB. When an image is sent to Photoshop is converted to a 16bit AdobeRGB PSD file in order to get the largest color space to work with.
    sRGB would be necessary when exporting to the web and/or send it to a printer that requieres that color profile, and that's why you have it in the export presets.

  • Camera is set to sRGB, but Aperture metatdata says Adobe RGB

    I have my Canon 40D's color profile set to sRGB, even though I get the impression that it serves no purpose if I am shooting RAW images (which I am). Even if it makes no difference in RAW, I still have to choose a profile in the camera's settings (I guess in case I switch to shoot JPEGs). Anyway, why does the EXIF Expanded metatdata in Aperture say "Adobe RGB"? Should I, and how do I, change that in Aperture?
    And does this matter?

    Adobe RGB gives you a wide range of color, while sRGB give you less color. Since RAW files give you a lot of information, Aperture works with them in Adobe RGB. As mentioned in other posts, you can always export in sRGB. Personally, the only time I would use sRGB is for website photos or online photo labs when they request sRGB files. It is always best to start out with a lot of color and work your way down rather than the other way around. Down the road if you make something like fine art inkjet prints, you will be glad you have RAW files with the Adobe RGB color space.

  • Colour Profile change after Exporting a version

    Hi
    Has any one had this problem - and found a solution?
    My Aperture Preferences are set to - Adobe RGB 1998.
    Now,
    1     -     if I select an image in Aperture then select EDIT WITH ADOBE PHOTOSHOP
                     the image is opened in p/s
                        when I view the image in Bridge
                             the  colour profile is correct - Adobe RGB 1998            
    Problem:
    2     -     if I select an image, then EXPORT A VERSION (to my desk top)
                        the colour profile changes to sRGB   ?
                        Don't understand why this is happening - anybody know why?
                             Thanks
                                  Tony (from London)

    The color profile is part of the export preset as Keith pointed out
    Make sure the preset you are using has the color profile you want.

  • RAW output to an adobe rgb and srgb look identical in bridge but different in PS on wide gamut monitor.

    Photoshop CS6.  Wide gamut HP LP2475w monitor.  Spider 3 Elite calibrated.  Working space adobe rgb.  When outputting a raw to Adobe RGB jpg it looks a bit whacked with color blotches/jumps in PS.  The sRGB of it does not.  BUT......in bridge they look identical.  The adobe rgb jpg almost acts like viewing an image in a non-color aware browser on a wide gamut monitor.  Like bridge shows it right but photoshop is showing it whacked out.  I can't tell what is lying to me and if there is even a problem with the image.  Here is a half second 2 frame gif alternating between the two from a screen cap.  http://www.extremeinstability.com/hmm.gif  Abrupt blotchy color changes with the adobe rgb when viewed in photoshop.  And again, when you look at the two images in bridge they don't show that, they look identical.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    I guess I now learned that Bridge only generates srgb previews.  So I see them the same in there I guess.  Looks like it comes down to the adobe space and jpg.  Oddly enough an 8 bit adobe tiff covers it fine without breaking up.  Can see the 3 on this gif.  http://www.extremeinstability.com/3.gif
