Big difference in colors between Nikon Capture and Lightroom

I've been using Nikon Capture for ~4 years. Lightroom seems like the solution to many of my gripes about Capture. However, I'm having difficulty with colors. The photos linked below are from an unmodified NEF, converted to a jpeg by Capture and LR. No modifications to the image by either program.
http://chicory.stanford.edu/rjones/photos/linked/Lightroom_vs_Capture.jpg
My complaint is that the reds and browns in the stone and the door are much more vivid in the Capture-rendered jpg.
I know from other threads that LR is ignoring (or can't see because Nikon hides it) some of the in-camera settings. But, I've spent a lot of time in the Develop module with White Balance, Hue, and Camera Raw settings and I can't get anything that looks as "punchy" as what Capture produces for these colors.
Any ideas?

    Hi LarryMeikle
    The biggest difference between Photoshop CS6 and Photoshop CC is that Photoshop CC is subscription-based--you have to subscribe to Adobe's Creative Cloud service to use it.  Also, Photoshop CC includes new features that were not in Photoshop CS6.
    Let us know if that helps.
    Thanks!

  • Matching color between a video and a photo in PS CC

    Hi,
    I am trying to match the color between a Video and a photo in Photoshop CC.
    This works ok with the color matching tool. Image > Adjustments > match color.
    However, it only matches the color of the 1st frame and no the whole video.
    Is there a way to use the color matching tool to apply the adjustments to the whole video?
    Thanks for the help
    Regards.

    Thanks for the quick reply
    I don’t think I explained myself very well.
    I want the video to match the Photo. Not to apply adjustments to the video and photos at the same time.
    The Photos (raw) and video were taken at the same time with the same camera.
    I have worked on the photos in adobe camera raw and saved them as tiffs.
    Now I have opened up the video and tiffs in Photoshop and would like to match the new colors from the tiffs to the Video file.
    When I use the match color tool, the Video and Tiff are the same color.
    However Photoshop only matches the 1st frame of the video, the rest of the video is left in the original color.
    My question is, how can I get the Match color tool to apply the color setting to the whole video?
    So that the whole video is the same color as the Tiffs, not just the 1st frame.
    Regards.

    Rahul

    Hi Rahul,
    Your question is a little general...Maybe you could go to sap help portal to search for the documentation for upgrading to 600.
    As I know, we have some new functionality in release 600. For example, shipping point determination with storage location, automaticly outbound delivery creation after saving stock transfer order...
    Also the screen is different for most list transactions like VA05.

    As far as I know Photoshop can not open Zip files.  If you unzip the zip archive and it contained PSD files.  How do you know they were all saved on a XP system with Photoshop CS5 with max compatibility.  The message you getting seem to be contradicting that.

  • Switching from Nikon Capture to Lightroom

    Hi,
    This has probably been asked before but I couldn't find it by searching. I have been using Nikon Capture for years and now I want to start using Lightroom. I shoot in RAW and capture saves all the edits back into the NEF file. Lightroom, however, doesn't read any of these edits, at least that I can find.
    Is there anyway to get Lightroom to read edits that were made in Nikon Capture and saved back into the NEF file?
    Thanks,
    Bryan

    Unless you want to redo the NEFs in LR, the best you can do is save the NC upgraded NEFS as Tifs (uncompressed) and then open those in LR for any further, relatively moderate, changes--and those changes will be written to the TIFs by LR.
    Otherwise, you are stuck with NC--I'll say a little prayer for your patience as you wait for NC to grind out things :)

  • Nikon D5500 and Lightroom  RAW file

    Just got my Nikon D5500 and Lightroom will not recognize the RAW file.  Does anyone know of an available update?

    AT THIS TIME, the only way to use D5500 RAWs is to use the software supplied by Nikon, convert them to TIF, and import those into Lightroom.
    At some point in the future, Lightroom should be able to import the D5500 RAWs directly, but no one knows when that will be. Possibly 2-3 months, but I have no inside information, I could be totally wrong.

  • Printing differences with LR4+ between Windows 8 and iMac

    Hi. I have using my iMac running the latest version of OS-X with LR printing currently to an Epson XP-600 with pretty good results, that is, the print matches the screen with few exceptions.
    I recently installed my second allowable copy of LR4 to a new HP laptop running Windows 8 and the prints, using the same photos, are way off both in darkness and in color shift. The Printer interfaces look different but many of the options are the same. I currently let the printer control the prints (with either computer) but tried separate profiles as well. No real change. Here is the important part... The only other program I have on the new Laptop that can print photos is Microsoft PowerPoint and the photos printed with PowerPoint are identical to the photos printed in LR on the iMac! So... somehow the Windows LR is changing the parameters.
    I have compared settings between the two computers (only one opened at a time) over and over and ran through a set of ink cartridges trying to match either LR/iMac or Windows PowerPoint to the LR Windows photos to no avail. Am I missing something obvious? Why don't the LRs print the same with the same settings regardless of the operating system? Both are 64 bit computers. Any thoughts would be appreciated... thanks! Andy

    Thank you for replying, Rikk. However I respectfully disagree with you. I wasn't comparing the printed photo to the laptop monitor but to the other computer's printed photo (and to the iMac's monitor by extension). Big difference. I deliberately let the printer manage color because with the iMac, the print matched the monitor without profile control. In Windows, I also let the printer manage color so LR, let alone the monitor, should have no influence on color, much like the PowerPoint print as you mentioned. The printer, if printer settings are the same, should produce the same print in OS-X or Windows 8. The PowerPoint print matching the LR print on the Mac proves this to be true IMHO.
    To put it another way, I'm not trying to match the Windows print to the Laptop monitor, which is not only uncalibrated but somewhat irrelevant. The two monitors look nothing alike with regard to color. Neither monitor should actually influence the print when compared to the other print using identical printer settings with LR set to printer control.
    Please do not think I'm trying to be contentious here, I'm not, but to put it a third way, If I print the photo from another program (iPhoto) on the iMac, it looks identical to the print in LR on the iMac. Because the printer is in control. On the Windows computer, printing in and out of LR, with printer settings the same, do not. That's what I'm trying to find out.
    Finally with respect to your last sentence, that's my whole point. I believed I had turned off color awareness in LR on both computers. I don't need it. Apparently, I didn't turn it off on the Windows computer and I would love to know why it didn't go off?
    Thanks, Andy
    PS You deserve an explanation as to why I use the printer control and no profiles. The answer is somewhat serendipitous: With this particular printer (and I've had many), when the printer is set to manage the color, the prints, for whatever reason, very closely match the iMac monitor (which is calibrated), even moreso than with printer color OFF and ICC profiles employed. I've tried them all. I only use one kind of paper. If I call up a photo of my grandchildren, the print matches the iMac display close enough for my needs. What I see is what I print. Why change it?

  • Nikon capture and Tiger

    Are there any Mac user who use Nikon Capture? If so how do they work together. I heard there were some problems with Tiger quiting with this program. If there is a better place to post this let me know thanks.

    What I think r.z means is that you can not use iphoto to control the camera and take pictures that bypass the memory card and are saved directly to the computer. This is useful for customizing colors on your camera, doing time lapse photography, or doing portraits so you can show clients result immediately on screen.
    I have os 10.4.4 and had the problem installing. I had heard that it was a problem with the installer and 10.4.4 not the program itself, so my workaround was to install os 10.4.1 from my software restore disks onto an external firewire drive. I then booted from this disk and installed Nikon Capture 4.4 onto this same drive where 10.4.1 was installed. The install worked and NC4.4 ran, so then I rebooted to my internal drive with 10.4.4 installed and then dragged the nikon software folder over from the firewire drive to my applications folder on the internal drive. It worked fine. I do get one error when i view files that are captured to the hard drive, but it doesn't seem to affect me so i just dismiss it each time.

  • Cannot wire network hp CP1025nw color between Win xp and Win 7

    I have two machines.
    A:  Win XP 32 bit
    B:  Win 7 64 bit
    I have an hp LaserJet cp1025nw color printer.
    PCs are connected to an ethernet switch which is connected to the internet.
    Printer is connected via USB cable.
    I can install the software successfully on either computer using the installation cd, and the printer works fine for that PC, but it will NOT share between the two.  Interestingly, it WILL print a TEST PAGE from the networked PC, but it will not print from notepad, word, or publisher nor will it print bitmaps from Paint or any other file.  The print job DOES go to the queue, sits there for a few minutes, then just disappears.  No errors occur.  When attempted to choose "networked connection (wired)" from the installation CD, it asks for an ip, which is NOT the situation; I don't want to set up a "network" printer I want to set up a printer that is "networked" but directly plugged into machine B.  Interestingly, I have a second printer, a Brother, which is set up in the exact same way but DOES print from all the mentioned programs using the SAME network switch and outlets, etc. so I KNOW the cables are not faulty or incorrectly connected.  The problem is the Brother printer is a black and white laser, so I cannot print color jobs on it and hence I need the HP to work in the same fashion. 
    Any ideas? 

    Hi,
    I think you need to make the PC which connected to the printer using USB cable as a Print server.
    Hope this helps.

  • I'm trying to understand the difference between Photoshop Elements and Lightroom software.

    Does one have things the other does not?

    Hi,
    Lightroom is to manage photos and produce derivative images without ever modifying an original file. Its processing functionality has a narrow feature-set covering the most common needs of professional photographers whereas Elements is a simpler yet powerful photo manipulation tool. Elements is designed to satisfy the needs of photo enthusiasts who like to manipulate images.
    You can also go through the thread to understand the basic difference between PSE and Lightroom.

    Hi,
    Since I already know where and what the duplicate amounts are in the PSA, Can I do the following:
    1. Delete the Amounts (and change them to 0) in the PSA
    2. Delete that particular load from the Cube
    3. Now that the duplicate amounts dont exist in the PSA, Re-Load it back to the Cube using DTP
    Would this work? Is this even possible?
