Best equivalent to Photoshop's Color Balance dialog

I'm trying to understand what's the most equivalent function to Photoshop's Color Balance dialog in Lightroom 2.  e.g. suppose I move the Cyan/Red a bit toward the red to make the image more 'redish'.  What LR2 action will produce similar results?
thanks!
David
PS: for reference, this is what the dialog looks like in CS2:

Photoshop does Color Balance with far more detail and multiple-input fine tuning options than LR, obviously.  I mean look at the screen shot and all the options available there.
But in very general terms, and often, for many photographs and many shooters, this is all the Color Balance adjustment they need, moving LR's Develop>WB Temp to the right would have a similar effect to moving Cyan-Red to the right.  Both should warm the shot.  (Try moving these sliders while watching caucasian faces shot in outdoor light in the winter in the north... they'll go from pale to a slightly glowing tan to ruddy.  Or white t-shirts or snow will go from a white or bluish-white to a pinkish-white in ordinary daylight.)
Just to keep you on your toes, moving the Tint slider to the left in LR's Develop>WB Tint will give a similar effect to moving Photoshop's Magenta-Green to the right.  (YMMV of course, but personally, with a RAW shot taken with a Canon camera and no color profile sliders moved in the camera, I find moving the Tint slider in LR rarely helps a shot look better and so I usually leave that one untouched... but I often do warm shots to varying degrees using the Temp slider.  I think some greyscale workers, or some color workers going for highly creative effects, like to use the Tint slider more than I do.)
Photoshop's Yellow-Blue would also, I believe, change the warming effect using different tones than Cyan-Red, similar to LR's Develop>WB Temp, again working in the opposite direction.  The advantage of having two sliders that can warm or cool an image in Photoshop is that you can adjust the degree of yellow separate from red in warming, to give more or less of an orange tone to your warming as desired.
Amping up those Color Levels windows in Photoshop might give a similar effect to boosting Vibrance or Saturation in LR>Develop, though in Photoshop you can tinker with separate levels for separate primary tones, which in LR you could only try to approximate with Develop>Camera Calibration.
All these sliders may have unintended effects if your monitor and printer are not calibrated, or to the extent that you're using consumer-priced monitors or printers where color balance can be dicey at best.

  • Bug:  Holding slider in Photoshop CS3 color selection dialog causes issues under Windows 7

    I was using the color selection dialog this morning and discovered that clicking and holding the vertical slider or the little arrows for about three or four seconds causes Windows 7 to declare Photoshop CS3 as being unresponsive.  The whole Photoshop UI starts freaking out at that point:  The color selection dialog "vanishes" and black bars start appearing all across the application.  Minimizing and then showing the application restores it to its previous state.

    You're welcome.  Glad to hear the driver update corrected the issue for you.

    I just got it, having previously used a 4670.  The 5670 is not hugely fast in the benchmarks, probably not much faster than yours, but it animates everything in Photoshop perfectly smoothly (Photoshop is far less demanding than most games).  I am most fond of the fact that the 5670 draws so little power it doesn't need an extra power connection over and above what it gets from the PCIe buss, and so it runs cool and quiet.

  • 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

  • Color balance looks different going from lightroom to photoshop which is correct?

    color balance looks different going from lightroom to photoshop which is correct?

    Besides calibrating you rmonitor:
    Make sure that in PS you have selected ProPhoto RGB as Working Space.
    Go > Edit > Color Settings.
    LR uses ProPhoto RGB and tht cannot be changed. So you have to make sure that PS uses the same Working Space.

  • I need the LR equivalent of the PS red slider in color balance

    For some reason all my studio portraits need the red slider in PS to go down 6-10 points.  But I cannot figure out how to reproduce that in LR.  I've tried the camera calibration but it doesn't seem the same.  This is a HUGE problem for me.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I'm runing lr4 and cs6.  Thanks.

    I just wish wish wish that LR had color balance sliders like PS.
    As Tom Rockwell already mentioned the RGB Tone Curves will provide very similar capability PS's Color Balance sliders. Go to the Tone Curve, click on the small icon in the lower right corner of the panel, and select the 'Red' Channel. To emulate the "midtone" Red/ Cyan Color Balance slider grab the curve at the 50% point and lower it to decrease red midtones.
    That said I would agree with Web Weaver that your White Balance is off for your studio lighting setup and suggest using the White Balance Sliders for correcting it. You can then save it as a Develop Preset using only White Balance and perhaps Camera Calibration 'Profile' settings checked. Using a white balance card or ColorChecker Passport (above) will give you much more accurate results.

  • Print - color management dialog box - how to print

    with the print CS5 color management settings...
    When printing on my HP Design Jet 90 I select I click "print settings in the CS5 print dialog and select "Application Managed Color"  in the prinder driver.
    However the PS print dialog has additional settings on right side under the Color Management.
    I select Photoshop manages colors in the Color Handling drop down to make it consistent with the printer driver selection.
    However, I amn not sure what to have under the printer prifile drop down. I tried different options and they change how the picture is printed and this dialog was not as complex in CS4 so I am nont sure what selections to make in order to have the PS manage color. and select everything automatically.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Photoshop CS6 colors have shifted for PSD files; no longer match Bridge colors, resulting jpg colors off too

    Until last night, Photoshop has been working relatively well** (see below) However, I processed a batch of DNG files through Bridge and saved them as PSDs.  When I opened up the new PSD files in PSCS5, the colors had shifted - more green, less saturated. 
    I went back to the DNG files and opened each up separately in PS - the color looked good.  I edited them, saved them as PSD files, and reopened them in PS - the colors were bad. 
    I cleared the Preferences (by holding Ctrl+Alt+Shift) when restarting PS.  Although it cleared up the pre-existing issue explained below **, it didn't fix the issue with the colors.
    I rebooted my computer.  No luck.
    I looked for available updates. None available.
    I recalibrated my monitor (ColorMunki).  No luck.
    I don't know what I did/what happened to cause the problem.  The day before, everything was fine.
    I tried to fix it by experimenting with option under View.  The closest I could get the colors to matching those shown in Bridge was to set  View--Proof Colors-- Monitor RGB.
    But here's the kicker - when I did a "save as" in PS the resulting jpeg had the same gross color shown in PS before setting the proof colors to Monitor RGB - and the jpeg colors are gross in Bridge and PS!  The same thing happens if I run a batch of PSDs via Bridge and save them as jpegs.  The resulting jpegs look gross in both PS and Bridge.
    HELP!
    I'm using a PC with Windows 7.  All the images jpegs, DNG and PSD are in the RBG color space.

  • CS2 issues, best version of Photoshop to use with AGS?, workarounds?

    It looks like there's some compatibility issues with AGS and CS1/CS2. What's the best version of Photoshop to use with AGS, and like everyone asks, anyone know of an update coming?
    My problem btw is that I'm generating many .gif images from 1 source .psd file, and the text alignment for horizontal left/right is not true to the original. The shift is off the canvas. Only center alignment stays true.
    My .psd file is only a background layer and a type layer. I once was able to save the .psd in ImageReady and output correctly, but that happened only once and wasn't able to replicate the results.
    Anyone know of way to preserve text alignment?

    Thanks for the response Bob. I'm going to try and track down Photoshop6 and give that a go. Just to fill this log up with more info, I thought I'd past this response which I wrote to someone else. Btw, I heard a rumor that Adobe may be releasing an update to AGS in the spring. Do you you know anything about that?
    Hey ###,
    Thanks for getting back to me. With AGS, our goal is to produce about 250k unique images based on a customers first name, which we will then merge into an email. We're able to produce the images using our data and technology, where just not able to maintain the accuracy of the intended creative. Below is a PSD which contains 2 layers, 1 text layer with effect and 1 solid color layer...
    http://images.ed4.net/images/htdocs/test/di/ditext.psd
    The output should look like this...
    http://images.ed4.net/images/htdocs/test/di/original.gif
    Instead, the text layer shifts off the canvas far to the left. On right alignment, I get the same results, just far to the right. Center alignment works fine. I didn't know if we should be keying in any additional commands to get this to line up right? Would Photoshop6 resolve this issue?

  • Printing from CS5, Photoshop Manages Colors

    I only do photo quality prints to Epson matte  a few times a year so I run test prints with various settings to get what I want. My granddaughters wanted some prints from a web site framed and my wife wanted  prints of an emailed photo of their old mountain cabin. I had to do some color manipulation of the cabin, but the web site images had been expertly processed and all I had to do was print properly. I experimented with the cabin image print settings. Epson changed the names of all their papers, so the Epson print profiles in the print dialog didn't match the name on the matte paper box. I deciphered that, but I wasn't happy with the result so I tried two of the other Epson profiles and hated it. There's quite a long list of profiles available, some specific, and some just conventional color spaces like sRGB, aRGB. For the heck of it I tried Pro Photo RGB as a printer to paper profile. The print of the cabinimage with an embedded aRGB profile was everything I could want. I did the web site sRGB images the samwe way and they were really nice.
    The puzzle is this: What does using Pro Photo RGB as an instruction to the printer cocerning what it is printing to thru Photoshop even mean? The printer has never heard of the colors possible in Pro Photo, and the source image is in sRGB ( verified by Photoshop). I can conceive that an RAW image should be rendered as aRGB for inkjet and that the inkjet has some blues that are outside the aRGB, but I can't understand telling an inkjet to use Pro Photo to print sRGB.
    Maybe gator soup knows what I'm trying to get at.

  • The workings of Photoshop's color management

    Hey guys!
    I've been spending some time researching and trying to understand the workings of Photoshop's color management and come across a lot of fuzzy and contradicting information, particularly regarding the Proof Setup. I think I have figured some of it out but (for the ease of my sleep) I figured to ask a couple of direct questions just to be sure. I guess it's more of a curiosity thing.
    I'm on a Mac OS X 10.8, Photoshop CS6, calibrated standard gamut monitor, working in sRGB for web.
    1) From what I gathered, to achieve as precise color as possible on my display, all I have to do is set Working Space to sRGB or have images with embeded sRGB tag and have my calibrated monitor ICC profile loaded in the OS X. In that way, all the images and colours in Photoshop will adhere to sRGB and my calibration profile will make sure my monitor is actually displaying correct sRGB colours (to the best of it's ability anyways). Correct?
    2) I have come across a lot of 'quick tips' where people mention using the Proof Setup > Monitor RGB as a way to monitor colours for web and then I've seen people saying that's not right. From what I understand, the Monitor RGB function strips the embeded tag and ignores the working space of the image, instead showing you the RGB values in the 'native' colour space of the monitor, which in my case would be sRGB-ish. Kinda bypassing Photoshop's color management, but not the display calibration profile. Correct?
    3) When viewing an sRGB tagged image, toggling the Proof Setup: Monitor RGB on and off has absolutely no effect. Am I right in assuming that it's because the sRGB tag is getting "switched off" but since the monitor is standard gamut, the native color space is still sRGB?
    What I find weird is when I change the display profile in OS X from my calibrated one to, for example, a Generic RGB, toggling the Proof Setup: Monitor RGB has effect - the image brightness changes visibly. If my assumption above was correct, it shouldn't happen, right? Hence my confusion.
    Thanks!
    Kris

    In terms of Calibration, it's useful to keep this in mind: Calibration ideally places a device in a known, desried and repeatable state. In terms of a display, the 'ideal' calibration for most is one in which the display and the print produce a visual match. YMMV a great deal! You can calibrate a display such it doesn't produce a match quite easily, getting calibration to produce the match takes work! If any of the targets aim points (White Point, Luminance and contrast ratio) is less than ideal, the calibration doesn't produce a visual match. See: http://www.luminous-landscape.com/tutorials/why_are_my_prints_too_dark.shtml
    In theory, if you didn't need to match the display to a print, you don't have to even calibrate the display for an ICC workflow. But you should <g>. You could simply profile it's current behavior which would work in an ICC workflow because you built a profile that reflects the current display conditions. The display will change over time because a display, unlike say an Epson Pro printer, is unstable and it's behavior will change over time. You need to calibrate or get that display back to it's original condition ideally. With the Epson, it's very, very stable (although I'd point out, not necessarily calibrated ideally, if we had more control over the native driver, we could 'adjust' or calibrate a more linear behavior). So with an Epson, you build a profile on top of the less than ideal driver conditions but the driver and the rest of the system is super stable and consistent. You simply need a profile to define that behavior and you're done. The printer and inks are very stable so you could also in theory place a different driver or RIP and calibrate better behavior and profile.
    I'd forget the 'calibrate' a display to sRGB on a modern LCD unit short of perhaps an Eizo or NEC SpectraView system. The sRGB color space is based upon a theoretical CRT display circa 1994 or so, with very defined primaries and conditions. There is no real 'standard' to how one can and should define the display, especially if you want to visually match a print next to the display. The illuminant used to view the print plays a huge role! So providing one set of calibration aim points and expecting all displays to produce a match is pie in the sky. Might be close, might be spot on (I wouldn’t depend on that), might be way off. All explained in the URL above. If one setting worked properly, we'd all use that one setting and calibration products wouldn’t vary from only a few presets (kind of uselss) to products like Eizo and NEC which provide a huge number of options for setting white point as just one example.

  • Using PS to edit in LR screws up color balance?

    I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here, but I can't imagine what it might be.
    I start with an image as a .NEF file (Nikon Raw format).
    If I import the image into Lightroom (3.4) and export it as JPEG without changing anything, it looks fine:
    If I import it into Photoshop (CS5) and save it as JPEG without changing anything, it also looks fine:
    If I enter control-E in Lightroom to ask Lightroom to launch Photoshop to edit the image, it looks fine on screen.  However, if during editing I ask Photoshop to save the image as JPEG, the color balance is much different than it was in either of the other two examples:
    What am I missing here?  To my knowledge, I am not changing color balance in any of these images.

    Incidentally, the three images I posted here look much more like each other in my post than they did originally.  When I view them directly, the first two images look basically identical; the third is much colder and darker.  This difference seems to vary depending on which program I use to view the images.  For example, there is a lot of difference if I use Picasa to view them, and much less difference if I use Windows Picture and Fax Viewer.
    If I open the images in Bridge, I see that each one has a different color profile!  The one saved from Lightroom says sRGB, the one directly from Photoshop says Adobe RGB (1998), and the one saved from Photoshop within Lightroom is ProPhoto RGB.  I'm guessing there's an FAQ somewhere that explains the differences between these; can someone please point me there?

  • Best Monitor for Photoshop??

    Hi,
    I was wondering if anyone can suggest what the best monitors for photoshop digital painting/editing etc are at the moment??
    I still use a crt as I've heard years ago that their colour depth were alot better than lcd's or tft's that were around then. I'd assume that's no longer the case. Can someone please suggest what the best monitors currently are?
    I'm also considering using a 42 inch Pioneer PDP 4280XD full HD 1080P flatscreen Television as a monitor. Would anyone know how that would work in compared to a good quality monitor?
    Thanks for any help in advance!

    A 42" TV is not a good solution, innacurate colors, huge pixels.
    Get a LCD, with a IPS or a MVA or PVA panel, with LED backlighting if you can afford it.
    The 22" are usually TN  change color according to the angle of vision, and dither some colors. They are cheaper, but not a good choice (you said "best"
    Lots of users go for  24" Dells, for the price and quality.
    I use two 24" when I can, with one portrait, the other landscape. Useful when one uses bridge to keyword pictures, or simply to review photos the way they were shot.
    Top of the crop are Eizo, NEC.
    There are places with comparative tests...

  • Color Balance

    I've seen posts about the color balance in the Officejet 8500 but the responses do not apply to the Photosmart B8550 PHOTO Printer.  The color balance is too red (pink).  There is no copy funciton so I can't use that solution to increase the yellow.  I am using Photoshop CS4.  I have it set up so Photoshop manages color, but the printer output is still too red.  I have checked my ink levels and they are all fine (all above 60%. 
    The colors in the photos that I see on the screen are NOT the same as the colors in the photos that print out.  I've tried every printer setting in the rendering (perceptual, saturation, absolute colormatrix, relative colormatrix) - all are wrong.  I've printed several different photos and the colors are off on all.  
    Addendum:   The problem is with the Photosmart B8550 Photo printer.  I just tried printing from my Photosmart C6280 and the colors are much closer to what they should be.

    Setting the Auto exposure and levels will put you very close
    to the right WB settings. Use the temperature and tint sliders
    if you want to micromanage the colors.
    We have found that our Canon 5D auto adjustments in
    Aperture are 99% corrected. I might want a little more
    warm tone in portraits, but Aperture puts it close on the
    first try with auto.
    Hit the 'H' key if you want to bring up the adjustment HUD.

  • Selecting Color Balance adjustment layer brings up Levels adjustment layer

    Ok, so, all of a sudden I cannot get a color balance adjustment layer to come up. Every time I do photoshop creates a levels layer. Selecting levels makes a levels layer. All of the other adjustment layers seem to be working normally. How do I fix this? I have a deadline and no time to be reinstalling photoshop.

    Reinstalling the application seldom helps, and re-installing without trashing your preferences is futile as you end up right where you started.
