AGAIN COLOR ISSUE - IMPORT RENDERING

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Hello to hear again of me, I post again the import color issue because I'm looking for a clear answer and I don't want to philosophize about color management and studying books about that. I wonder why the color management on my MacBook Pro was perfectly running before, and then suddenly it changed. Before I had great and accurate color in PS and LR, everything was identical and then suddenly LR adds this this strange color correction over every image. How is that possible!? I made another test, I tried to save one image in different ways, like tif, jpg and psd and I converted the image as well to different color profiles before saving. Sometimes they appear in the import menu in the correct colors, some time LR changes them, but in the library it adds to all files the strange color correction. I want to highlight again, that it was before okay and then without a specific reason it changed. I have LR installed also on a Mac Pro, where it still runs as it used to run, we will see for how long. I'm really a bit upset! It is not possoble anymore to judge the images right, even now I have to switch to my previous viewer application to show shootings to my clients. Creating webgaleries with LR also became useless now, because of false colors. Also there is no possibility to set the color mangement in LR to your workflow.
In this spirit hoping for a solution!

Good for you Franky66, Glad you got it sorted.
Happy New Year!

  • Font color issue with inserted HTML content in JTextPane (HTMLEditor)

    Hi everyone,
    I have a very serious issue with the HTMLEditor I'm developping. This editor is a little bit special since it is intended to edit blocks of HTML content that are loaded when the editor is initialized.
    You can in fact decide to keep this loaded HTML content or start a new HTML document from scratch. Alright, now my issue is the following :
    When text is loaded, it's properly rendered. I have a functionality which let's you see the HTML code from the HTML document used in the editor, so I can check and see if code is correct, and yes, it's correct.
    The problem is that when I try to change the color attribute of some text on my loaded content, nothing happens ! I don't know what's the matter with this bug, I only have it with the color attribute, with every other attribute everything's fine (font, size, etc.)
    The funny thing is that, after I change another attribute for loaded content, like font family, then changing color attribute funcionnality starts to work again !
    I've also noticed that I don't have any of these problems when I start my HTMLDocument from scratch (when I create a new HTML document and start typing text).
    Another weird thing, is that I have a feed-back feature in my editor which reflects attributes for text over which the caret is positionned. For example, if you put caret over red text, the color combo box displays a red value, you know, just like in MS Word. Well, with my loaded content if I have a red text color and I decide to put it in green, the color combo box displays the green value when I click over text for which I have changed color, but in my JTextPane it's still red !! And when I try to see the HTML code generated nothing has changed, everything is still red !
    There is something really strange here, this means that when I get the attributes of the loaded text from the HTMLDocument, color appears to be green, but when it gets rendered in the JTextPane it's still red and when it gets anlyzed to produce the corresponding HTML code, these changed attributes are not taken into account.
    But the most weird thing above all, is that I don't have this bug everytime, sometimes I start my HTML editor applet and it works fine, and some other times this color issue is bakc there. Is this a known bug for Swing API or not ?
    =============
    This is more or less my technique :
    //I declare a global reference to my HTMLDocument
    HTMLDocument _docHTMLDoc;
    //Create a JTextPane
    JTextPane _tpaEditor = new JTextPane( );
    //Set type content to automatically select HTMLEditorKit
    _tpaEditor.setContentType("text/html");
    //Get a referene to its HTMLEditorKit
    HTMLEditorKit _kitHTMLEditor = (HTMLEditorKit) _tpaEditor.getEditorKit( );
    //I then have a function to create new documents
    void newDocument(){
      _docHTMLDoc = (HTMLDocument) _kitHTMLEditor.createDefaultDocument();
      _tpaEditor.setDocument(_docHTMLDoc);
       //I do other stuff wich are not important to be shown here
    //I then have another function to load content
    void loadContent(){
       //I get content from a HashMap I initialized when I started my applet
       String strContent = (String)_mapInitParameters.get("html_content");
       //I set content for my editor
       _tpaEditor.setText(strContent);
    //Notice.. I have tried many other ways to load this text : via HTMLEditorKit and its insertHTML method, I
    //have also tried to store this content in some reader and make HTMLEditorKit read it... and nothing,
    // I always get the bug
    //To change color it goes like this :
    JComboBox _cboColor = new JComboBox();
    //I correctly initialize this combo with colors
    //then I do something like this
    ActionListener _lst = new ActionListener(){
       public void actionPeformed(ActionEvent e){
          Color colSel = (Color) _cboColor.getSelectedItem();
          MutableAttributeSet mas = new SimpleAttributeSet();
          StyleConstants.setForeground(mas,colSel);
          setAttributeSet(mas);
    _cboColor.addActionListener(_lst);
    //Set Attributes goes something like this
    private void setAttributeSet(javax.swing.text.AttributeSet atrAttributeSet) {       
            //Get current 'End' and 'Start' positions
            int intCurrPosStart = _tpaEditor.getSelectionStart();
            int intCurrPosEnd = _tpaEditor.getSelectionEnd();
            if(intCurrPosStart != intCurrPosEnd){
                //Apply attributes to selection
                _docHTMLDoc.setCharacterAttributes(intCurrPosStart,intCurrPosEnd - intCurrPosStart,atrAttributeSet,false);
            else{
                //No selection : apply attributes to further typed text
                MutableAttributeSet atrInputAttributes = _kitHTMLEditor.getInputAttributes();
                atrInputAttributes.addAttributes(atrAttributeSet);

    hi, friend!
    try this:
    void setAttributeToText(JTextPane pane, int start, int end, Color color) {
    MutableAttributeSet new_att = new SimpleAttributeSet();
    StyleConstants.setForeground(new_att,color);
    HTMLDocument doc=(HTMLDocument)pane.getDocument();
    doc.setCharacterAttributes(start,end,new_att,false);
    It works fine in my Application, hope will work in yours, too.
    good luck.

  • Color issues in Safari

    Hello, I've just uploaded my first Muse site: www.michaelphipps.net
    It worked well and looks perfect in Firefox on my computer (I haven't checked IE yet). In Safari, some of the rollover images are showing as a different color than the background. See the windows with the flags that say "Gallery", etc. You'll notice a small rectangle box around them where the orange (or green on other pages) is darker than the background. I looked on another computer with an older version of Safari and the problem is not there.
    I did some research and discovered that Safari pays attention to color profiles, but other browsers do not. I checked my background images and compared them to my rollover images. Different profiles? Yes! So I fixed that and the problem remained. I've been trying test after test for hours and discovered something strange. I saved the background image and placed it in the site with Muse. I cropped that same image in Photoshop and placed it on the other image in Muse. A quick check in Safari shows that the color issue is resolved- the two images are the same color. I cropped the image even smaller and the same test yielded good results- the colors of the two images are the same. I cropped it again to 221 by 61 pixels and tried it again. The problem is back! According to my tests, the only difference is the size of the image. So either Photoshop is saving the smaller image differently, or Muse is rendering it differently. Why? And how would I stop it?
    Thanks for your help!

    Just a thought - Musing [pardon pun]
    What file format are you using? ,jpg? .psd?  .png?
    Is Bridge in the workflow?  Is Camera Raw in the workflow? Is Save For Web in the workflow? Is Lightroom in the workflow. << any of them have the posibility of being the cause of your color mismatching issue.
    I use Lighroom a LOT, Thus I send photos from there to Photoshop and back. So - I have the color profile in PS set to ProPhotoRGB most of the time.
    Even though I have the 'always ask' about profile mismatches enabled I still have occasional issues with photos leaving PS with strange colors - usually because I'm impatient and not paying attention.
    My suggestion [what I would try] >>
    Be sure the PS used profile is set to RGB:
    Then I would open ALL my images in PS and Convert them all to RGB

  • Lightroom/CS3 color issues on Mac

    Hello,
    I've seen a few posts about color issues, and I've tried following the advice posted, and I'm still having a problem. My photos appear fine in PS and in Lightroom (as well in in Mac's previewer) but when I upload them to the web or view the saved file on another computer, they appear severely desaturated with a blue tone.
    I'm using running Mac OX X on a new MacBook Pro. I have Lightroom and CS3 installed and fully patched.
    I am shooting in RAW with my Nikon, and importing the photos to Lightroom. In Lightroom, I choose "edit in CS3" and then the file opens in CS3. My settings for that are to open it as a 16 bit PDF ProPhoto RGB. My color settings in CS3 are set to ProPhoto RGB working space, preserve embedded profiles, ask when opening and pasting.
    The files still look great when I open them in PS, and then I save them and when I look at them again in Lightroom they also look good (the same). However, if I export them as .jpgs from Lightroom, or save them directly from CS3, they lose their color quality.
    I've found that if I change my proof setup to "monitor RGB" then I can see the photos the same way they appear when saved (the bad, desaturated version).
    I would really appreciate any help anyone could provide. I am generally happy with my Lightroom/CS3 workflow, but I'm totally baffled with this color issue.
    Emily

    Well, I think what you need to do is get a better grasp on the fundimentals of color management-which is a bit beyond the scope of what the forums can offer you.
    The bottom line is that Lightroom & Photoshop CSx (meaning past CS or actually even back to 7) can and does make use of display profiles (you can't turn it off even if Photoshop has a setting that makes you think you can). An image in Lightroom and Photoshop is always color managed...outside of an app that is color management, all bets are off.
    Save, assigning and converting to profiles are all very different. Photoshop CS3's color settings are absolutely critical because that's how you deal with managed and unmanaged color.
    Until you learn different, I would suggest that you set your CS3 color settings to North American PrePress 2....if you want images for the web, Convert To sRGB or use the new Save For Web (which can now do the sRGB conversion-finally).
    For other uses and purposes, I would suggest that you seriously consider using Adobe RGB-until such time that you understand the implications of using Pro Photo RGB.

  • Bizzare Color Issue With JPEGs In RGB

    Recently when I've imported any jpegs from either the web or from my Thinkstock account I get strange color issues when it opens the image. Mostly the distortion happens in the whites. By default it opens in RGB mode (figure 1) and the issue goes away if I convert to CMYK mode (figure 2) but the image needs to be in RGB for me to use in an After Effects comp. Is there some step I'm missing in my color management? Thanks!

    Make sure you install the 10.9.1 update.
    Another test you can do is disable GPU drawing in Photoshop's preferences, then relaunch Photoshop.
    If the problem goes away, then it was caused by the video card driver (or, possibly by a defect in the GPU, but those aren't as common).

  • Font color issues in published output

    I have just upgraded a couple of older Captivate projects to 5.5. 
    On some of the slides I have click boxes set to open URLs when clicked, and I have colored the text blue and underlined it so that it looks like a hyperlink.
    When viewing the published content I've noticed that my hyperlink text is black, instead of blue. 
    Has anyone run into this issue before?  I've searched the forums and couldn't easily find any references to this issue, although this is not the first time I've seen this problem with my courses.
    Thanks in advance for any help!
    Brian

    Rod, thank you so much for the reply.
    The blue is just your standard #0000FF blue, which should be safe with 8 bit quality, and the slides were set to 8 bit quality the last time they were published (and worked) in an older version Captivate.  Kind of weird, right?
    BUT, being the optimist that I am, I took your suggestion and tried setting one of the slides to 24 bit, and the blue is blue once again rather than black!  Very bizarre, but faster than the work around I had found yesterday so I'm probably going to roll with it.  I found that changing the slide quality to 24 bit has a minimal impact on the size of the published swf file, so I'm good.
    Again, oddly enough, my work around mentioned above involves changing the default caption style to what Captivate calls "default caption capture style".  With my caption style set as this my blue is blue, even with the slide quality set at 8 bit.  I took one of my older courses and went through changing all of the caption styles.  Took me a little while as changing the caption style changes the font, font color, font styles, font sizes, paragraph alignment settings, etc., etc.
    And on a side track, I got to thinking after I noticed that changing the caption style seemed to fix the font color issue...  My original project used a custom caption style, one that I had not yet "reinstalled" since upgrading to Captivate 5.5.  So, I added the custom caption styles, even changed the name of the caption style and tried to reapply it, but no dice.
    It seems that, with the slide quality set at 8 bit, if I use a caption style of "default caption style", my blue is black on publish.  But, if I use a different caption style, such as "default capture caption style", my blue is blue, even at 8 bit quality.

  • Different color issue in Windows Lightroom? Banding?

    I can't tell if I'm running into the same color issue other users are seeing, or if I've got my own issue going.
    I see what looks like color "banding" in Lightroom when I'm looking at the preview of a raw image. It happens most often in the shadows, where the fine gradations between shades are lost and the entire shadow area becomes one "blob" of the same color. (It looks like what happens when you look at in image in 8-bit display, after booting in Safe Mode.)
    I see this effect for RAW files from a Canon D60 (.crw) and Canon 30D (.cr2). I have a dual display setup, with a 24" external monitor (a BenQ WP241Z) and a laptop display. I'm using the color profile for the 24" monitor I obtained from Adobe Gamma until I get access to a colorimeter. Under the Color Management tab in the control panel, it shows the correct profile associated with my monitor.
    Opening the preview of the same image in Lightroom and Faststone on the 24" monitor shows a stark contrast -- I don't see the "banding" at all in Faststone. Instead, I see a gradual transition between shadow tones.
    Any idea what I'm doing wrong? It seems odd for Lightroom to look so *ugly*.
    Thanks!

    Hi, I think you might be seeing the same thing I experienced with my night shots. I imported them with the "none" preset, which actually means using Lightroom default settings.
    There was banding in the shadows, exactly as you describe, whereas Digital Photo Pro (canon's s/ware) showed it fine. I started playing around and found out the default setting of "Blacks" to "5" was the problem. Setting it to "0" took care of the banding. Hope that works for you.
    If so, and if you do import a lot of pics which require "Blacks" at "0", a good way to do this is to set "Blacks" to "0" and save your own preset, for use with those pictures that you know will show banding.
    Hope this helps,
    Kai

  • Color Issues between CS3 and CS4

    Color Issue - Opened in CS3...looks fine; I then opened in CS4 and what
    was grey in CS3 is now brownish in CS4.
    Any ideas about what this is or how to fix?

    Sorry, actually, there was a thread up a ways and someone was having the
    exact same issue. It was my color profile. I just deleted the default
    and used Adobe 1998...
    With that said, I am CERTAIN that in not too much longer, I will run
    into this again and it will be nice to have this seed (solution) planted
    in my brain..
    Thanks

  • HP Photosmart 8250 color issues

    Ive read all the threads about color issues on the 8250.  Most have no responses.  A couple had tips on what to try and I've tried them all.  Ive cleaned the heads, ran maintenance, aligned heads, turned it off and on.  Ive cleaned the heads so many times Ive used half of my ink on two cartridges.  I just spent $50 on a completely new set of ink cartridges and just replaced them all.  Each time I do the head cleaning the colors get worse.   
    I'm about ready to throw this thing out the window.  This is the 3rd printer we have purchased in the last 7 years from HP and I will probably never buy another again!  It seems they always have a similar problem like this and always during Christmas when I'm trying to do a bunch of printing!
    Does anyone know what else to do?  I'm assuming the head is bad or something but how can I tell for sure.  Or..is there a way to manually clean it.  I dont want to spend any more money on this thing...its starting to become cheaper to just replace it again but it seems pretty ridiculous for these printers to only last a couple year.

    Hi,
    You can logon to your ePrint account to check. Most likely due to no inks. Replace color ink cartridges will help.
    FYI: I ran few tests over the weekend on my loan 7510 (with one empty color cartridge) it refused to print at the beginning but it printed a document after that.

  • Color inconsistency importing images into flash cs6 - cs4

    After much experimenting I can't seem to solve this issue - imported images get tinted in an undesirable/inconsistent way when imported and published within flash.

  • Major Color Issue

    I am having a major color issue in 10.3.9.
    Issue #1:
    Setting Color Labels...
    even though the names of the colors are there, the colors are actually shades of blue and gold.
    Issue #2:
    Mac Icon...
    normally on the dock, it's 2 shades of BLUE.. however on mine, it's 2 shades of GOLD.
    Issue #3:
    Adobe Programs...
    In Photoshop, Illustrator and Acrobat, ALL PHOTOS have this duotone look (blue and black) and the ONLY way to preview a photo in true color, is if I save for web and in that screen, it shows correctly. I'm a graphic designer and it makes it VERY difficult to adjust photos.
    I know its not the photos themselves, because they preview correctly when imported into Quark and also when printed. I have also tried switching monitors, to see if that was the issue and I still have the same problem. I had this problem back in January, when I upgraded to 10.3.9, and my supervisor fixed it through DUMB LUCK! I recently had to re-install everything, including the OS and this problem resurfaced. Now it's almost a year later and we've tried everything we could think of, but no such luck. This is my last hope!
    Does anyone know how to fix this problem, or has anyone ever HAD this problem? Is it just my negative energy that is feeding into it and making it want to lash out at me?!?!

    I am having a very similar issue, and am really pulling my hair out. I have one user that is having this problem - FROM ALL MACHINES! I have deleted ALMOST every preference in ~/Library/Preferences to no joy. Just started yesterday. (I am using network Home Folders - with no other major issues)
    Everything looks like it is in 8 bit color.
    I have done all the standard fixes. It does it no matter which machine this user logs into, so it is not a hardware or /Library/ issue. It definitely is a ~/ issue.

  • Still image color issues - I need help quick!

    I having some major color issues when trying to make a slide show.
    In searching the forums I see I am not the only one, however the other answers given are not working for me.
    I need this project finished today!!
    Here is what I have:
    Several images that have been worked over in Photoshop. They have been saved as JPEG images and brought into iPhoto. From iPhoto they have been brought into iMovie 6.02. Some have the Ken Burns effect, some do not.
    They look nice and clean on the timeline HOWEVER in the preview window they all have green tints. If I use full preview mode they still have the green tint.
    I have tried exporting them from iPhoto and re-entering them back into iPhoto under different names, thrown back into iMovie. Same issue.
    I have tried photos that have not been through Photoshop and were not from the same source...same result.
    This is not good!
    I need this project done today!!!
    Thanks for looking.
    Does apple have phone support for software? I just got iLife 2 days ago.

    Thanks for getting back to me.
    Not that I am glad that it is a bug...but having no history with iMovie it does catch me up.
    As far as monitor color corrections, I make my living dealing with digital images which why I was so freaked out about iMovie destroying all my work when it was brought in.
    Here is what I found while waiting for a reply...which goes along with what you also told me.
    The end goal of the iMovie/slideshow is to be part of an iDVD project.
    When I dropped the Quicktime version of the little slideshow into iDVD the odd color cast was gone. This let me breath a sigh of relief.
    I am a long time Mac user, make my living on them, would buy nothing else, but...this really should be fixed!
    Thanks again for the reply.

  • Color issue exporting Photo JPEG

    Hello everyone,
    I'm new to these forums, and somewhat new to using Adobe. I have used Adobe CS5 in the past and would like to start using Creative Cloud. Premiere Pro and After Effects in particular.
    One of the things I need to do is create stock footage, particularly exporting in the Quicktime Photo JPEG codec. This has always gone without any hassle in CS5, but I ran into a color issue with the Creative Cloud version. After preparing a clip and exporting it, the colors differ substantially, the greens and blues in particular. I import these files to compare them inside Premiere, and the difference is very noticeable.
    Here are two screenshots of the exported file and the original one, respectively.
    I have spent a day trying to figure out what is going on, and can't find any real leads. I found some suggestions about the way Apple has coded their gamma color into Quicktime that wouldn't correspond with CC. However, this may be totally unrelated. I'm not a color expert, so I hope some of you can help me out.
    Best regards,
    Stef

    I've just discovered this problem as well (thanks to your post elsewhere).
    It's definitely a CC issue, and it's troublesome. It looks to me even more obvious than the sample you gave above. There seems to be a luminance increase in at least the green channel, and perhaps red or blue as well.

  • Export color vs. print to file color issue with 2.3RC

    Hi,
    I'm having problems with exporting photos for web-site usage.
    In short: colors get extremely washed out and plain when using "export to disk" (requesting sRGB color profile, in jpg-format). But, when "printing to file" using sRGB profile and rendering intent perceptual colors are reasonably close to what I see in LR. Yes, I know, sRGB is limited, but...
    Why there is such a difference when both methods are using sRGB for generated jpg? Is it the fact that rendering intent can not be selected for "export to disk"?
    As I can not control pixel dimensions in Print mode is not an option for my use (and I can not control sharpening with plug-in, but the color issue is there to begin with without any export plugin intervention).
    In contrast, LR 1.4 export to disk gives reasonable colors, the color issue has appeared with 2.x series.
    Running Windows XP SP3, LR 2.3RC, display calibrated with Color Vision SPyder 2.
    Please help, this is driving me nuts :(

    I think, that your examples shows the same problem as my observations.
    It seems that your display has even smaller gamut than sRGB (on my notebook DELL D620 this is also the case) so after you calibrated it, both lightroom and color managed firefox shows more saturated colors than windows explorer showing exported image (as far as I know, export from library module works correctly, but win explorer is not doing conversion to your monitor profile, that's why image is undersaturated). This is correct. It is really hard to calibrate such a low quality display, which can often be found on cheap notebooks - I have my own experience with it. Blue shades are really weak so heavy corrections have to be done in the profile (generated with spyder in your case), which can result in purple skies (why? Read this: http://www.brucelindbloom.com/index.html?WorkingSpaceInfo.html).
    Problem is with image printed to file. This should look same as file exported from library module given that you use sRGB both as a destination space in export from library and as a printer profile while printing to file. In your case LR printed your image using values corresponding to your monitor profile (even if sRGB was selected) which resulted in oversaturated image (because your display has smaller gamut than sRGB). In my case images printed to file are undersaturated (because my monitor has gamut wider than sRGB). But I'm sure this is a bug! Your monitor profile should not affect printing to file in any case if sRGB is selected as printer profile!
    Summary: purle sky in LR and in color managed FF is ok, but purple sky in image printed to file is not ok. :-)
    And my hint: do not try to calibrate this display... :-)
    You can try to make some measurements of your UNCALIBRATED NB display using this freeware: http://www.homecinema-fr.com/colorimetre/index_en.php You will probably see a very uneven color temperature across grayscale and much smaller gamut than sRGB.
    Let us know your findings.
