Bridge Raw adds a blue color cast to every pic once opened in PS.

This happens with every picture. Whether I make an edit in bridge raw or just open it in bridge raw. Once I ask to open the image in photoshop the color cast is added. Please notice the navigator window image is normal. I have a new hard drive and just reinstalled Adobe Creative Suite 4 and the problem is still there. I do not know what to do.

Read up on color mangement. such strong differences in color point to a severely screwed monitor colkor setting/ color profile.

How to remove cool/Blue color cast in pictures

I had incurrect setting when taking some pictures, which turned the pictures blue. Is there a way to correct this in Elements 9?
Message title was edited by: Brett N

The 'color cast' correction I mentionned above is really the simplest, 'one click' tool in Elements, but there are other ways.
My favourite one is to open the photo (even jpegs) in ACR. Then you have the same interface than with raw file, and the temperature and tint sliders.
The advantage is that once you have corrected one picture (also a one click sampling of neutral white/gray), the settings can be used for the next picture. You can correct a batch of images rapidly.
Edit:
To open a jpeg in ACR, use 'Open As' instead of 'Open' in the editor. On the bottom line for the file format, select the 3rd option 'Camera raw...' not the first 'Photoshop raw'.

Camera LCD vs raw on pc monitor, color cast

Dear all, I have this doubt about my 5D mk ii. The image displayed by the camera LCD is very different in comparison to the file dislapyed by DPP on my monitor. I did not a calibration , but I tried also a couple of other monitors just in case. The difference is not only in saturation and contrast, but also in a different cast: magenta in the LCD camera vs more Green in the pc monitor. Is the camera applying some kind of preset to the raw in the LCD? If yes, how to disable this function, at least for the color cast? I use the faithfull preset in my picture style, so I don’t understand why this pretty big difference. Thanks in advance

Thanks in advanceThe camera's WB default is "Auto", and it will try to assess the ambient color temperature and make an intelligent guess. If it guesses wrong (and some models are much better at it than others, especially when tungsten or fluorescent light is present), you can always fix it in post processing. DPP gives you plenty of options - although, annoyingly, it doesn't keep track of the closest color temperature to the WB value it inferred, and the "color temperature" WB setting always starts at 5200 K (Canon's definition of "daylight").

Blue Color Cast when Printing

I have just carefully calibrated (again) my Canon Pro 9000 Mk11 Printer and Asus Pro Art screen using Spyder equipment.
Printing in LR4.4 consistently produces a blue cast. I moved to Elements 11 and using the same just created profile printed the same picture/file.
No color cast.
I have LR5 Beta also so I printed same on it. No color cast - to all intents and purposes identical to Elements 11.
'Perceptual' setting used throughout and no 'Print Adjustment' used in LR.
I am using Windows 8 64bit.
Why should LR4 only produce a color cast? The settings have been carefully checked ...

Hello:
I'm not sure of site etiquite, whether I should ask another's advice about a separate problem, but my dilemma is so much like this and I have not been able to fix it on my own nor with Adobe or Epson's tech support.
I too am getting out of my printer only prints that have a blue cast to them. My printer is an Epson r2000. I print from Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CS 6 or now its Creative Cloud equivalent. Yesterday, the i7 laptop I have been using for photo editing (with a better monitor attached) started producing only bluish prints--intended to be black and white (the max whites are white but everything else has a blue cast). It also was apparent in color prints when I tested that alternative. I was not too concerned because yesterday FedEx also delivered a gonzo new desktop computer that I had ordered just for photo editing. I thought, "Well, I'll install all my Adobe stuff there and migrate the Lightroom files and everything will be OK." But, immediately, the blue-cast problem showed up on the new computer. I thought I probably "migrated" the problem when I brought over my catalog, images and settings from the laptop.
I reinstalled the newly installed printer driver and reinstalled the latests ICC files for the papers I use (Ilford Gold Fiber Silk and Gold Fiber Mono), but the problem persisted. I didn't yet know about blowing off the preset files.
I spent a lot of time on the phone with Epson yesterday and chatted at length (1 hour 39 minutes) online with Adobe tech support today. Adobe had me do what you recommended--blow off the preset files and begin again, all to no avail. On my own, I again deleted and reinstalled the printer driver and wiped out the preset files.
Still, I get a bluish overlay on my prints.
After reading your posts, I meticulously checked my settings. Everything seems alright.
I did one other thing. I printed images that had not been imported to lightroom in Windows Photo View through the same 13-inch Epson. They came out perfect.
Now, I just don't know what to do next. Epson and Adobe support have done their apparent best. I live in a small town at the end of the Columbia River where I am looked upon as one of the computer problem solvers (a degree in Literature notwithstanding).
I've thought of blowing off lightroom 5 and going back to version 4, but, as I understand it, that would mean losing all my metadata for some 40,000 images dating back to 1966, most of which I had to plug in by hand since they are from scanned negatives.
Do you have any advice?
I am a little anxious because I am supposed to have prints ready for a show opening on July 27.
Thank you in advance for any advice you may offer.

Contrast adjustment creates color cast - why and how to fix?

I used a local curves adjustment (with a layer mask) set to "Strong contrast" to make the space shuttle "pop" in a particular shot. I looked it so much I copied that adjustment layer to the rest of the launch sequence. I then realized that as I went earlier in the sequence (20 seconds in real time at most) each successive photo developed a blue color cast from the contrast adjustment. I tried a luminosity blend hoping that would take the color out but no change.
Ideas as to why? And best way to correct?
PS: It's a tiff file that was sent from lightroom with the proper white balance.
Thanks!
Roscoe

Could you post lores or sections of the image where the adjustment worked and one where it resulted in the cast?
If switching the Adjustment Layer’s Blend Mode to Luminosity does not work (which seems a bit peculiar) the you could possibly work against that with a Hue/Adjustments Layer (in a Group with the Layer Mask applied to that instead of the Curves Layer or clipping masked to the Curves Layer after turning off »Blend Clipped Layers as Group« for it).

Color Cast in "Grid" Thumbnails

I have a strange color cast (pink) that only shows up in the "Grid" and only on the thumbnails of the original RAW file. This color cast shows up in the over-exposed highlights of my thumbnails and is "NOT" because the "Highlight Hot Areas" is turned on, although if I do turn "Highlight Hot Areas" on, the "warning area" is exactly the same area that is displayed in my thumbnails as the strange pink color cast. "On Screen Proofing" is "NOT" on. This has only happened since updating to Aperture 1.5
I don't shoot anything but RAW so I'm not sure if this happens with any other format that my camera can produce. If I select the thumbnail of the RAW file it displays normally in the "Viewer". If I make a new version or duplicate from the RAW file, the new thumbnails still display the color cast, but once I make an adjustment to the file, the new version thumbnail displays normally.
Here is a link to a JPEG of a screen capture that displays what I'm seeing. - http://www.robertolding.com/picture_2.jpg

hello, robert
this almost looks like the View/Highlight Hot Areas
(shift option h) is turned on.
it certainly is in the right spot where the image is
too hot.
does it show up in Full Screen also?
Maybe, delete and update preview?
victor
Hi Victor,
Thanks for your reply.
Yes, as I stated in my original post, it does appear that the View/Highlight Hot Areas is turned on, but it is not.
The images showing in the Viewer display normally and the images in the Grid display the color cast. The only time that the images display normally in the Grid is after I've made an adjustment to them.
Viewing a image in Full Screen does not change anything that I've described.
Interestingly enough, files that were imported into Aperture before the 1.5 upgrade display normally.

Help Laserjet 2605dn - light blue overall color wash on every page

I have started having a light blue color wash on every page. It does not interfere with the printing, but every page comes out with a wash on the printed page. The backside is still white. It makes it look like I am using blue/grey paper, but it is coming from the printer.
Have replaced all toner and can see no obvious problems with fuser, etc.
Any help would be appreciated

I have very similar problem on my 2600n which is printing 2 vertical green lines very close together about 1.5 inches from left edge. All toners are in supply override mode with black toner reading: Estimated Pages Remaining 0
Color cartridges contain toner with 329 pp remaining according to supply status page.
Is this problem likely to disappear when toner cartridge(s) are replaced?

Phase One color cast in Bridge

Hi all:
I know there are a lot of photographers in this forum, so I'm hoping one you can help/enlighten me.
We just received IIQ images from a photography, shot on a Phase One P45.
When previewing in Bridge CS5, I'm seeing a strong blue cast over the images.
This is the first time we've ever gotten IIQ files that previewed in Bridge with such a heavy cast, and I'm wondering if something wasn't processed right before the files were delivered to us? I have a general knowledge of RAW, but not sure what happens to them before they get delivered. From what I read, it's possible that the photos should have gone through Capture One color management software before being handed to us as processed IIQ files?
Is that the case? Has anyone ever experience this in Bridge and if so, can it be "fix"?
Thanks,
Lisa

Has anyone ever experience this in Bridge and if so, can it be "fix"?
Without having experience with Capture One or Phase One files I know that Adobe Camera Raw 6.x (comes with CS5) does support the IIQ files from Phase One P45 so Bridge should have no trouble in viewing those files.
First put your mouse on that file and with right click menu choose purge cache for selection and see if this brings some light. If not Open the file in Camera Raw (double click or right mouse click choose open in Camera Raw. This should open the file in ACR and see if you still have the color cast and if the white balance is set to normal expected values.
If still a color cast either contact the photographer or set the color temperature values to your wishes

Magenta color cast problem on canon 7d raw files

when i import canon raw files (cr2) into lightroom 3, i get a magenta color cast over the whole image. the thumbnail image looks fine, but when lightroom opens up the image, it get's a magenta color cast over the whole thing. i shot raw+jpeg mode too, and there's a huge differnce in color between the two. the jpeg looks like how i shot it in camera but the raw image has the ugly magenta color. not only do i get this ugly color, but it seems like there's added noise compared to jpeg image.
i tried converting the cr2 into a dng. but when i open that in lightroom, i get the same problem.
i use aperture 2.1 (i only use the lr3 trial so far), but i have the same problem there.
i use cs3 but i downloaded cs5 trial.
acr i have is 6.1
help.
thanks.

Go to develop and the callibration tab and change it in the pull down menu to a canon default like 'Neutral' and not the adobe one which is made by somebody totally colour blind or obviously a Nikon fan.
Although this is weird as the problem for me has always been canon JPG's with the cast and not the RAW.
Also check your white balance cause Lightroom seems to change it whatever.. 'AS SHOT' is a big fat Adobe lie so use a preset from your camera in the drop down box.. Why? I shoot with Canon's flash WB setting which i know to be 5500k with the tint at zero. On import, Lightroom changes it to 6150 and adds an amazing +7 on the magenta tint, if i chose 'FLASH' things suddenly turn to what i see on the camera LCD.. I'm sure that is where the big fat tint has come from since day one.

Odd, Color Cast After Opening Edited RAWs in PS5

I shoot strictly in RAW and open edit all my RAW files in Bridge 4.0.5.11 (CS5). All goes well here until I send the images over to PS5, where upon opening there, they all seem to have a much warmer, yellowish cast. Oddly enough, they'll print seemingly OK. Have I possibly gotten something set wrong in Photoshop that causes this wierd off-color cast?

Not enough information, but it sounds like a color management issue.

No you don't. Bridge is just an image browser, it does not edit anything, it just hands the files over to your editing application, whether this be Adobe Camera Raw (ACR), Photoshop, Illustrator or even Microsoft Word. What version of ACR are you using to convert your raw files?
Calibrate and profile your monitor often and regularly, preferably with a hardware calibrator puck. Check all your color settings.

Adobe Camera RAW (All Versions) Import Canon .CR2 / RAW images with an orange / green color cast.

All versions of Adobe Camera RAW including the latest 7.3 import .CR2 images with a greenish / orange color cast.
Tested on 7D, and 5D III
Makes Hardwood floors, and flesh tones look abysmal.
Canon's Digital Photo Professional renders the colors fine, as does ACDSee 5.0 Pro (when viewing) Exporting from ACDSee however is another story as things look even worse than Adobe. DPP can export perfectly.
Changes to Color Gammut / Space have little or no effect.

Good day!

Media Encoder adding RBG color casts on BW 16mm Footage

Hey Everyone,
I am really stumped by this one. I am working with FCP6 and Apple Pro Res HQ scans of 16mm B&W footage. I am trying to encode a self-contained .mov file (direct from FCP) in Adobe Media Encoder CC (for Blu-ray) and then burn to Blu-ray with Encore CS6.
I burned the first test Blu-ray last night and when I played it back on my Blu-ray player/TV, I was stunned by the fidelity and definition of the otherwise thick/complicated 16mm grain structure, even via what was only a 6GB .m4v render (compressed from 33.5GB .mov). Everything was perfect...EXCEPT...I got these horrible "color casts" of red, blue, green, magenta, across practically every shot in the footage. Particularly in the last shot of the drain pipe (see example clips 14 seconds long):
Original: https://vimeo.com/97456916 (pass: "original")
Blu-ray: https://vimeo.com/97453674 (pass: "colorcast")
Obviously the footage does not look this in either FCP6 or .mov in QT7. I just double checked and the color casts ARE visible when playing back the ME converted .m4v in Encore. I have also taken the .mov from FCP and brought that into Encore and NO COLORCASTS. I have also taken the .mov, reimported it to FCP and but a 3-Way Color Corrector on it and put the saturation at zero, exported that, and then ME>Encore and it still adds the color....So I am 99% positive this is a Media Encoder issue. Here are the settings I used:
Considering how long is has taken me to get satisfactory web compression results from 16mm footage in the past, I feel like I just hit a grand slam in the bottom of the 9th with the playback fidelity of the first test Blu-ray. The motion and definition are phenomenal, I mean we are talking Criterion quality--without X.264 or Blu Code--(even with all the modern "overcompensation" crap turned off on my TV). I AM SO SO CLOSE TO RENDERING/BURNING A PERFECT BLU-RAY IF I CAN JUST FIGURE THIS COLOR THING OUT!
Got a deadline to get this into the hands of a couple of prominent filmmakers.
Any help or ideas that anyone can provide will be most appreciated.
Thank so much!

***SOLUTION***
Well it seems silly that I had to do this at all, but here is the workflow that finally seemed to solve the issue without adding an extra level of encoding...
Save self-contained .mov of my timeline in FCP6 > bring that back in FCP as a separate sequence and apply the "Desaturate" filter (Image Control > Desaturate) to the entire film > save as self-contained .mov again > convert in AME > master and burn to Blu-ray with Encore > Presto!!! NO COLORCASTS on B&W 16mm footage in Encore and no colorcasts from the file on the burned Blu-ray disc.
I believe I stated it above, but in case I didn't, adjusting the chroma and/or "desaturating" via FCP's color corrector plugins did not work...even with the exact same workflow otherwise. I have no idea why, but if anyone ever runs into the same problem, this worked for me. Only took two weeks to do something that I guessed would take a day, maybe two. Geesh.
Thanks again guys for all the suggestions. Really really appreciate it.

Strange yellow color cast after CS4 install

I just ran into a strange problem helping a friend install PS CS4. Everything seemed to go fine, but now all of a sudden his images are displayed with a strong yellow tint. I don't mean a slight color cast, I mean a STRONG yellow tint. The images appear the same in Photoshop, the Bridge, and even ACR. I re-calibrated the monitor (Gretag McBeth) and generated a new profile just be sure, but that wasn't it. The same images viewed in other applications (Picassa, opened in a browser, etc.) on the same computer display normally. This appears to be only Photoshop related. What's also interesting is that CS3 now exhibits the same problem after the CS4 install.
I reviewed all the color settings and workflow, and nothing is out of the ordinary. The Nikon raw images were imported via ACR, and opened in Photoshop with ACR workflow options set for 16 bit/Adobe RGB. Photoshop working space is Adobe RGB. I also installed the 11.0.1 update. But here are what may be a couple of clues. First, it's not just the image files that look bad. The colors are awful in the color picker in the toolbox. The entire color picker slider is almost all yellow and orange. And here's another good one. We tried importing some new raw images via the photo downloader in Bridge. With the downloader in Advanced mode, the image previews before download show the same yellow cast. But after I click the Get Photos button, the image colors appear correct as they flash on for a couple of seconds while being downloaded. This has got to be a big clue for someone. What's different about how the image is displayed during that two second preview during the actual download?
The PC hardware is a 3.2Ghz Pentium 4 Dell tower (2G ram) running XP Pro w/SP3, with a nVidia GeForce 7800 graphics card, and the screen resolution is 1024x768. I'm thinking maybe a graphics card issue or corrupted system profiles, but I'm a Mac and he's a PC so my PC troubleshooting skills are limited.
Has anyone else seen a problem like this before?? Any ideas? Thanks!

Magenta Color Cast in Center of Photos

My photos seem to have a very heavy magenta cast on the central portion of the photo. There also seem to be green/blue casts at the edges. I have tried resetting the phone and all the other basic fixes...

I have the exact same problem and it is quite pronounced. As a photographer, I know that this is considered a typical problem on some high end digital camera systems. It is typically caused by the angle of light hitting the sensor at certain angles and creating different color casts at different lens positions. One high end systems, this is solved using a semi-opaque white filter to isolate the colors and then apply a lens cast correction to all affected photos. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to do this same thing with my iPhone images because they are jpegs and not RAW. I'll keep looking but if someone else has figured it out, I would love to know how to fix this. Its really distracting.

PP Program Monitor displays with a color cast

Hi all,
Having trouble with the display in the Program monitor. I'm working with still images at the moment. All the images have a strong blue cast when previewing. They look fine when exported, or if you click on the image to reposition, the color seems to correct, but as soon as I play the sequence the color cast comes back. Also, getting the same cast with .AVI video.
I am only having this issue on my laptop, all works fine on my desktop PC. Both machines are PC's running vista. I've also tried clearing my preferences and reinstalling PP. No luck.
I'm working in NTSC DV now, but have tried creating projects in HDV and others, and still have the problem.
Also, I've tried resizing the images, changing color spaces, etc, nothings worked. The images now are jpegs.
On another side note, opening the reference monitor causes PP to have an unexpected error and crash. Every time. Although this is not really the issue I am worried about at the moment, it might be relevant?
I've posted a sample of what the preview looks like here: www.jessicamans.com/PremierProCS4Issue/index.html
Thanks in advance for your help!
Jessica

Sounds like an overlay issue. Video card and drivers?
