Auto Color

there appears to be a noticeable difference in the way Auto Color is applied in Camera Raw and CS6. If I open a photo from Bridge, it is set to open in Camera Raw. Making a quick adjustment by using Auto Color, it would appear that in some photos a warming filter is applied. If I subsequently open the file by clicking "open image", then using Auto Color, the adjustment done in Camera Raw is removed again.
I have actually had the same happening in LR4, which I assume uses the same version of Camera Raw

The "Auto" button in camera raw is different from the Auto Color in Photoshop.
The Auto in Camera Raw is adjusting brightness, blacks, contrast, recovery,
The Auto Color in PS has had some revamping done to its algorithms and does a very nice job.
Both "Auto" types of adjustments are typically intended to be a starting point for further work on the image until the point you're ready for output.

Having several problems with Adobe Premiere Elements 13. Right now my worst is that when I add text to a clip, it goes out of "auto color" while the text is up. Help?

I'm having a number of problems with Elements 13. One is that, while in "play" mode, the sound will just stop happening. I have to click "pause" then "go" again and the sound comes back. It also stops playing on it's own, I have to hit "play" repeatedly. Just got the software, have been using it extensively for a week or two, and this just started happening.dor
Now today, when I add text to a clip, it drops out of "auto color" while the text is visible in the clip, then back into auto color when the text is gone. Any suggestiosn?

If we are looking at the same thing, you have called attention to one strange Premiere Elements 13 AutoColor/Titler interaction. This can be reproduced in the Expert or
the Quick workspace. I will demo this in the Quick workspace since that is where you have been working.
1. Import a still into the Quick workspace/Filmstrip.
2. With the still selected, go to Adjust Tab/Adjustments Palette/Color Panel expanded and just click on the Auto Color Tab. Close the Adjust Tab route.
3. Go to Text Menu/New Text/Default Text to open the project's Titler. When you do that you see the following and not the still over which the text title is to go.
And when you close the Titler, you then see the "Add Text" text title in the still.
The only solution that I can think of at this time is to create the text title and then apply the Auto Color to the still.
It is interesting that this only happens with the Auto Color in the Color Panel selected. If you do not click on
Color Panel and use the More options for Color adjustments, this behavior does not take place.
Deletion of Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file does not correct this situation.

I think that here we need to explore project settings (project presets), properties of source media, and Timeline rendered and unrendered content prior to export.
Please review the above
a. verify if the Auto Color Text Title glitch that I saw is what you described in your situation
b. give the details of your project so that we can explore cause and effect for Timeline content playback irregularities as seen in the Edit area monitor.
Thanks.

Auto Color Calibration export fail

Hi!
When I export to uncompressed 10bit and select Automatic Color Calibration I get this lovely color field (see attached), but I don't get my video.
When I deselect Auto Color Calibration it exports the video with no trouble- but quicktime pumps up the gamma.
I tried the QuickTime_Gamma.ilut (and deselected auto color calibration) and the export simply fails.
Any tips to fix these export issues?

. i have the same problem with speed grade ...i have imported canon 5d footage with cinestyle picture style...in osx preview or quicktime looks like in camera very flat but after import in speed grade it looks like standard picture style ...i tried to calibrate with default color profile from my macbook pro (after conversion from icc/icm to cube file with DispcalGUI as Alex Meija..described here ) but nothing happen when i select the cube profile in calibration..i think this is a bug inside Speed Grade i can't use it...i m back to colorista ii in AE..
the single profile in calibration that looks nearly like original footage is when i select gamma 1.8 but is not ok

Auto color balance

Hello,
I'm using Photoshop CS2 on a work computer to edit and upload pictures of vehicles and I use the Auto Color Balance (Ctr+Alt+B) very often. I recently switched computers and installed the same version of Photoshop on my new one and it no longer auto adjusts the color balance, it just brings up the menu to manually adjust photos. Can anyone help me make it auto adjust again?

Yes it will use the last used settings if you use Ctrl+Alt+B, but as far as i know the color balance dialog will still open with the last used settings shown.
Ctrl+B opens the color balance dialog, but with the settings zeroed

How can I disable the loading of the Warp Stalibizer and Auto Color Plugins?

I'm having trouble with a project of mine.
My main project file refuses to load because Warp Stabilizer and Auto Color crash when invoked.
I believed it was a file IO problem, but when I removed the external drive where the footage was, it gave me the same errors.
So I'm hoping that disabling the plugin loadin at AFX startup will restore my ability to load the file and retrieve my comps.
the exact error messages are:
'After Effects error: crash while invoking effects plu-gin "Warp Stabilizer".'
and
'After Effects error: crash while invoking effects plu-gin "Auto Color".'
and
'After Effects error: Crash in progress.Last logged message was <5540> <StateBinaryConverter> <5> solveCompleteB = 1'
Then it offers me to save a file and the resulting file has 0 KB...
Anyone can help me with this?
thx in advance

I just moved the plugin files AutoColor.aex and Stabilizer.aex to another location temporalily.
I removed the effects references and replaced the .aex files in their previous location.
Now I can open my project just fine.

Auto Color in PP

hello i have been editing some new dslr video in my cs5.5 PP and notice that when i use auto color from PP or AE that when i apply the effect when i play the clip the clip starts to go from bright to dark or vice versa is there a reason why?

I agree with Stephen's suggestion to NOT use any of the Auto Effects. One often gets strobing with them. Using the manual counterparts is almost always a better solution.
Good luck,

Auto Color – seeing exactly what it is doing?

Hi Adobe Forum Readers,
Is there a way to see exactly what effects auto color is using to achieve its results?
If so I could manually go in and apply the effects and avoid some of the strobing etc. that auto color creates.
Is this possible?
Thanks,
V.
PS I intend to try and learn some of the manual correctors better however I am color blind so auto color is helpful to me for quick fixes.

The "strobbing" in the Auto correction Effects, Color, Levels, Highlight & Shadow, seems to appear, whenever there is any change in lighting/exposure. They appear to work pretty well with a locked-down camera, with manual exposure, no change the WB and not change to lighting. However, if there is any change, then the strobbing occurs. It reminds me of the old days, with servo-apertures in early auto-exposure lenses, where when the lighting changed, even just a bit, the auto-exposure function would "seek," until it zeroed in on the aperture setting that satisfied its circuits. That "seeking" cause a strobbing, or pulsing, and was very off-putting. Auto-exposure is much better nowadays, and this is seldom seen, or at least noticed. Still, manual exposure is always better.
Not sure where one would get that "under the hood" look at Auto Color though.
Harm has a great idea in post 8, and that would be very helpful.
Good luck,
Hunt

Auto Color Effect flickers off and on

I have just tried using auto color under the video adjust effects and the effect seems to flicker off and on in all of my clips. Anyone else had this problem
or is it my computer? I have a new computer with 12 GB of RAM.
Thanks
Doug

Hunt,
I think that explains it. Thanks a lot!!

This is the rub on almost all of the "Auto" Effects. Unless the scene is
absolutely constant in lighting, and needing the same exact correction, one
gets a "pulsing," "strobing" or "flicker."
I strongly recommend using the Fast Color Corrector (or one of the other
non-Auto Effects). Same for Auto Levels, etc.
Good luck,

Auto Color Effect Issue

When I put the Auto Color effect onto a clip, it does an extremely good job of correcting colour but the movie clip (1080p from a Canon dSLR) then appears to flicker, even after rendering? Does anybody know what I need to do to correct this?
Thanks.

Most of the "Auto" Effects suffer from what you describe. They really only work so long as everything, the exposure, the lighting, everything, is uniform for the whole Clip.
Most use one of the Color Correction Effects, and not Auto Color, Auto Levels, etc.
About the only way to get the Auto Color to function, when the Clip is not uniform, is to Razor the Clip, when there are change in lighting, or exposure, but that is tedious.
Good luck,
Hunt

Auto Color Correction Question

Once you've used Auto Color Correction (Shft+Cntr+B) and then saved, is there any way you can undo this command to bring a photo back to its original state? [I know ideally you should save the modified version with a different name/number, but I forgot to do this!]

If one has done a Save (and closed the Image File), instead of a Save_As, or Save_As_a_Copy, I know of no way to Undo.
One might be able to "deconstruct" the effects of the Auto Color Filter, by using other Filters/Adjustments, but it will require a lot of hand-work, time and experimentation.
I have a workflow, that keeps this from happening. Where possible, I use Adjustment Layers, so that the underlying Background Layer is not touched. In the cases, where I cannot apply the necessary adjustment/effect in an Adjustment Layer, I Duplicate (Ctrl+J) that Background Layer, and apply the adjustment/effect to that. When done, I always Save the working PSD, with all Layers and Adjustment Layers. Actually, I always do a Save_As, so that my originals are never overwritten, but you acknowledge that you know that part now.
Maybe others will be able to help you get started with the "deconstruction," but I'd look into a Color Balance Adjustment Layer, and work with it for a bit.
Good luck,
Hunt

How do I apply AUTO COLOR to an entire 2-hour .mov video?

How do I apply AUTO COLOR to an entire 2-hour .mov video, please?

Hi,
Image > Auto Color results can be achieved by setting the Auto options of Curves.
1. Open .mov file in Photoshop CS6
2. Click on the Curves icon in the Adjustments panel.
3. Opt/Alt click on [Auto] button.
4. Set Algorithms radio button to "Find Dark & Light Colors", then click [OK].
- (My notes indicate that "Snap Neutral Midtones" should be ON also, but I'm not seeing that to be true.)
Result: The Curves adjustment layer that uses the same algorithms as Auto Color is applied to the entire clip.
The Auto Image adjustments can be accessed via the Curves' Auto options:
Image > Auto Levels = Enhance Per Channel Contrast algorithm
Image > Auto Contrast = Enhance Monochromatic Contrast algorithm
Image > Auto Color = Find Dark & Light Colors + Snap Neutral Midtones ON
Hope that helps!

Premiere auto color

i hope i put this question in the right place. How can I use Auto Color to establish correction settings for one frame and then apply the SAME SETTINGS to an entire clip to avoid the flickering effect?

I understand the issues with auto-whatever_effect. I have clips with lousy color balance from the camera (wrong switch setting). When i use auto-color, it nails it for most of the frames, but am having difficulty manually matching that balance exactly. Wish there was a way to use Auto-Color's decisions for a single frame & lock those to the entire clip or export those decisions/settings to Fast Color Corrector or Three-Way Color Corrector. What I'm looking for is the equivalent of an 'AUTO' button in Fast Color Corrector which would make the same decisions as Auto-Color for that specific frame. Some wonderful logic exists inside Auto-Color - just can't seem to get it out, or am I missing something?

Seeking for Auto color function

In adobe Photoshop CS3 there is an Auto color function, you can reach it by going to Image->Adjustments->Auto color
If you have some yellow light on your photo, or some other light noises it will bring you your true color as it was taken at the day light.
How does this function work? I wont to use it in my flex project.

Doesn't that reset the changes made in the current dialogue session, not reset to "default" (which does seem dangerous for clicky McGee over here, that's me).
0,0,0
128,128,128

are the shadows, midtones and highlights colors.
