Camera adjustments

Needing to change the resolution of pics taken for for files. Default setting eat up too much memory.  Any suggestions? Apps to download to be able to adjuste setting?
Thank  you!

I believe it already is, and it didnt seem to make that much difference in the storage capacity of the quantity of pictures we take on a daily basis.  Is there another option available to set at a lower resolution thru a downloable app or something? I know the options are limited in the settings on the iphones.  Most people want awsome pictures. We caputre rental equipment and don't really care how awesome they are. But..the iphones work great with the mobile workforce we are using...
Thank you!

  • "Fixing" auto-backlight camera adjustments in PPro CS6

    For a recent event, I used an HD camcorder that I hadn't used before.  I ran it in full auto mode.  In several of the resulting recordings, the camera darkened the image (reduced the aperture) due, evidently, to some backlight source.  Thus, my video has times where the picture darkens, then lightens back up, repeating the cycle at random intervals (see the example).  Within PPro, I've tried Auto Levels, and that does keep things at more or less the same brightness, but at the expense of accurate hue (blues turn purple, etc.).  Auto Color and Auto Contrast behave similarly.  My question is this... is there any "easy" (i.e., non-keyframing) fix either within Premiere or, worst case, After Effects?  Any and all assistance would be GREATLY appreciated!

    It looks like the iris is shuting down for no reason,there is no backlight apparently. Anyway, In my (little)experience, I've been using lighting effects combined with keyframing and got good results in kind of same situation.

  • Pearl 8220 camera image quality is poor, poor, poor

    The photo image quality of the camera on my BB Pearl 8220 is extremely grainy and dark.
    I understand this is a cell phone camera and expectations are low to begin with, but this is unacceptably low quality.  The flash appears to function properly but that doesn't matter because the image quality is poor even for pictures taken in full sunlight.  
    Are there camera adjustments or settings that I haven't found that can remedy this problem?  The ones I HAVE found have had no effect.
    Thanks for any help.

    i've taken some good pics with our phones...
    I did notice that you need to be extremely steady (no built in "camera shake"), but other than that, its all been good. 
    I used the options to make the pics as large as possible too; but I do that with our digital camera as well.  I use Paint Shop to edit them on our PC.
    Where there is a will, there is a way...
    If there is no way; there is always a bigger hammer.

  • "Photo has Develop adjustments" when none made

    Hello,
    I am importing a JPG photo into Lightroom 5.4.
    In the Import screen, in the "Apply During Import" section, both the "Develop Settings" and the "Metadata" fields are set to "None".
    Yet, as the import process progresses, I see the correct thumbnail being changed as develop adjustments take place automatically (cropping and turning the colour image into black and white, at least that's all I notice). Why does this happen and how can I prevent it from happening?
    I assume the instructions are embedded in the JPG file, which I created in Photoshop (and saved as both PSD and JPG), since it happens in two Lightroom installations, one on the Mac and one on Windows 7 (brand new installation). When I switch to the Develop module, the only step in history is the import.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!
    Thanks,
    Gabor

    Initially, Lightroom is showing you the RAW file's embedded JPG preview, which has all in-camera adjustments applied.
    When it changes, you get a completely unadjusted RAW photo, none of the in-camera adjustments are applied. It is then up to you to edit the photo to make it look the way you want.
    There is no way to prevent this from happening in Lightroom.
    If you really like the initial view, then you might want to shoot JPG instead of RAW; or alternatively learn to use Lightroom to produce photos that might have superior image quality to the JPG. You can, if you want, develop your own Lightroom presets that can be applied either globally or individually to enhance your photos.
    I disagree that the initial view you see is "correct" (your word) as there are an infinite number of renderings of this image, it is not reasonable to say that one is "correct"; the JPG view is still edited in various ways by the in-camera algorithm, there is nothing sacred or correct about the in-camera algorithm.

  • Losing Camera Presets in RAW images

    I attended a Nikon class a few weeks ago and they were, of course, pushing their own software and workflow. One of the reasons they gave for using their stuff was that many of the settings and adjustments made in the camera and saved as metadata with the RAW image, is lost when the file is imported to Aperture. One of these camera settings I like is Active-D Lighting. (I know this is easily re-corrected in Aperture but it would be nice if I didn't have to do it at all.)
    Is there any way to preserve camera adjustments to Nikon RAW files in Aperture?
    Thanks in advance,

    Short answer is Nope - outta luck.
    Don't mean to rain on your parade here but not only is this a pain but NEF's seem to be Aperture's red headed step child of RAW formats.

  • Aperture applying unwanted adjustments when loading an image

    Hello,
    I'm having a bit of an issue with Aperture and I'm wondering if the community can help me.
    My camera is a Canon Eos 600D.
    I'm running Aperture 3.4.3 on a Mid 2010 iMac 27", with 8GB of Ram.
    Just lately, when I import and load images into Aperture, it seems to be applying unwanted adjustments to the photos just after it completes loading them.
    Let me explain further:
    I take pictures on the camera. Previewing them on the Canon they look as I would expect, and I'm happy with them.
    I insert the SD card from the camera into the Mac, and Aperture previews/shows the thumbnails of my photos, and they look just like they did on the camera.
    I import them into a given library.
    When viewing the thumbnails of the imported images in the library, they look the same, so I double click one to load it fullscreen. The image appears fullscreen, looking exactly as it did on the camera, and Aperture pops the word 'Loading' at the top of the image.
    Them when it finishes 'Loading', it seems to apply some unwanted adjustments to the photo. Mostly it applies a yellow wash to the image, and in some cases, it radically adjusts the levels.
    See examples below:
    This was what the image looked like after it had loaded:
    And this is what it should have looked like (I had to edit it BACK to what it had looked like on the camera).
    I should note that once Aperture has seemingly applied these unwanted adjustments, there is no way to undo them - 'Revert to Original' does nothing as as far as Aperture is concerned, this is the original image.
    Again, notice what happens when I quick preview an image:
    But when I switch out of Quick Preview, these unwanted adjustments are applied:
    Please, can anyone help out with this - it's driving me crazy.
    Is there a way of seeing what Aperture might be doing/applying behind the scenes? I've checked Preferences but can't see anything obvious.
    Many thanks in advance.

    Are you shooting raw?
    Aperture is not doing any adjustments after import. Probably you have set your camera to do adjustments and you are using in-camera adjustment settings, like D-Lighting. These in-camera adjustments are reflected in the camera generated preview, that you are seeing when you are importing the image. After that, when you are opening the image, Aperture will create its own preview from the naked raw image. And that what you will see in the viewer. This preview shows exactly what your raw image is like, without any adjustments done by the camera. If you want the image processing results from the camera and not the original raw image as recorded by the camera from the sensor, import jpeg and not raw.
    See this discussion: TA24505 Why do d600 raw's look totally different than the jpg's that are imported together. When I select a raw, it looks as if it gets adjusted, but I can't figure out why...

  • Problem with a 3D object imported from Photoshop (CS5)

    Hello, I have an interesting problem that I've never encountered.
    I have a PSD file that contains a 3D object I created from AutoCAD. I need to animate the object and add it to a video comp I previously created.
    After importing the PSD into aftereffects and making the rotation and camera adjustments that I needed, I rendered a movie to see if it was correct.
    For some reason the object got washed out or something when animated. As if it had a Screen blend mode attached to it (which it doesn't).
    All blend modes are set to normal and all opacity settings are also at 100%.
    I'm attaching an image of what it looks like in AE and what it looks like in the rendered video.
    Any advice is appreciated!

    Your material settings and lighting are not properly adjusted for raytracing mode - that's what's being used at "Best Settings" in AE as opposed to the hardware accelerated normal view. In particular your specular shading seems to be set to zero, which generally does not work with PS Live 3D due to some bug.

  • NEF (nikon RAW) files are becoming Desaturated while 'viewing in Bridge'/'opening in ACR'..HELP!

    i use
    1)Nikon D80
    2)Adobe bridge to get the images from the camera
    3)ACR to retouch the the photo a lil bit.
    i set 'Saturation +2' and 'contrast +2' in My camera.
    I get very nice vivid tone in my images IN MY CAMERA LCD
    but recently my life is in jeopardy
    i dont know why but my NEF files are not that nice when i open them up in bridge.
    I wasn't sure where it went wrong.
    So i shot RAW+JPEG so that i get the JPEG from the camera.
    and My JPEGs are perfectly OK.
    lets give you guys a look what i am talking about::
    this came from the camera as JPEG
    and this came from the SAME camera as RAW (i saved it without any modification from ACR)
    WHY? AnD WHAT IS THE SOLUTION??
    EXTRA INFO YOU MAY NEED ::
    my JPEG says sRGB
    and my NEFs says Untagged
    and in my camera setting i used sRGB...which is 'MODE3A' in my D80
    And now i have some important pictures in my camera
    Very important.
    Is there any way to save them?(except working in ACR)

    First off, the only camera settings that have any direct impact on the raw files is ISO and F stop/shutter speed. All other camera adjustments to the image are merely metadata adjustments used by the camera or camera software to process the image. Camera Raw doesn't use any of those settings at all. So, if you are shooting raw intended for processing in Camera Raw, you would do well to not use camera adjustments to the images.
    As far as matching the basic default camera LCD, that's a function of knowing how to use the DNG Profiles for either Camera Raw 4.6 or 5.5. There are specific profiles intended to render certain camera makers "looks". If you wish, you can either modify your camera's "Default" in Camera Raw or use Presets to apply settings in Camera Raw or Bridge.

  • Getting RAW look like the embedded JPEG

    This has been asked before, but I can't find the answer, so I will ask
    again.
    How do I get Lightroom to make the RAW file START it's adjustments with
    the full in-camera adjustment settings, so the RAW initially looks
    somewhat like it would if I had just shot JPEG?
    When processing Canon RAW images (we use a mix of 10D, 20D and 5D
    bodies), the initial 'unadjusted' image sometimes (often) looks VERY
    different from the camera adjusted JPEG of the same photo. The reason
    for the difference is that the JPEG has the camera adjustments applied,
    but the RAW doesn't. You don't need to shoot RAW+JPEG to see the effect,
    because the embedded preview in the RAW file is an adjusted JPEG, and
    many programs use that to display previews.
    The problem is that sometimes the JPEG looks darn nice because the
    camera did a pretty darn good job processing the photo, but the RAW
    looks flat, bland and lifeless. And it takes a whole lot of futzing
    around to get it to look 'as good' as the dumbed down in-camera JPEG.
    So is there some setting that I'm missing that reads in the full
    'as-shot' settings of the camera, and correlates them to initial
    settings for the RAW? It would be nice to be able to just tweak the
    image from that point forward.

    >Obviously cameras can vary in the particular model range, so doing the For (or similar) calibration will be specific to your camera.
    Since the output of the default JPEG rendering pipeline of current DSLRs is anything but calorimetrically accurate (it is designed to be pleasant, not to be used in a metrology laboratory), calibrating for accuracy is going to do little to make LR RAW output and in-camera JPEG processing come closer.
    And while the current incarnation of LR provides significant control over color, I still think it is not sufficient to reproduce some of the effects used in OEM RAW developers and in-camera JPEG processing.
    In particular, I am not convinced it is possible to reproduce Canon's handling of reds within LR using presets that would reproduce canon "Normal" picture style.

  • Photoshop Edits Import into Lightroom, Color/Noise Problems

    Hello!  When I edit photos in Photoshop (CS5), it looks completely different when I save it/re-import it into Lightroom.  The color is usually way off, and there tends to be a significant amount of noise in the imported version.   Tiffs v. Jpegs makes no difference.  I read in another forum that someone else said he only has this problem with his Canon 7D files.  My files are all Canon 7D.  Would that be a Canon problem to solve, or Adobe?  I'm attaching a screenshot of an image I had just saved in Photoshop, and then how it appears when it automatically re-imported back to Lightroom. Thank you for any help you can provide.  It's killing me to work so hard on my images, just to have them look completely different afterwards.
    Thanks, Heather

    Looks like you are applying a preset, have set camera defaults, or have enabled auto-tone. In Develop, all sliders should be at zero for tif files. You probably have a large amount of shadow fill dialed in. Go into your preferences and make sure to uncheck "apply auto tone adjustments" Also reset all default camera adjustments in the same dialog. Then hit reset on the file in develop.

  • Images display better in iphoto than Aperture2

    Has anybody an explanation why photos in iphoto and Quick Time look sharper than in Aperture2 ?
    Somebody asked this question in 2008 but no solution.
    Here the link:
    file://localhost/Users/wolfzum/Desktop/Images%20display%20better%20in%20iPhoto%2 0than...:%20Apple%20Support%20Communities.webarchive
    Thanks  Wolf

    One logical reason would be because iPhoto shows JPEGs that have been modified by in-camera adjustments like sharpening whereas Aperture normally shows unadjusted images from RAW which by definition does not include in-camera adjustments.

  • RAW, light and color distortion

    I just started using RAW files on my camera. I have a Canon T3i. I have a MacBook Pro Retina 15" operating on Mavericks. I just uploaded about 1200 photos (trip to Alaska) and started to judge and edit them etc. As I was looking through, the image would look just like it was on my camera. It would load into Lightroom, correcting focus etc and the color as well as the amount of lighting would completely change. It would get a little darker and the colors would fade. I have no idea why its doing this but expect it has to do with my versions ability to edit RAW files. If there is a solution for this I would really like it but am accepting now I might be SOL.
    -Cheers

    This is a normal phenomenon when working with raw images. Every raw file contains a JPEG preview. That preview will reflect all the in-camera adjustments that you may have made when you originally took the picture. Lightroom displays that JPEG preview initially while it generates a new preview based on the raw image data. Lightroom does not read all of the in-camera settings such as saturation, picture styles, and other camera settings. So the new preview of the raw image data will be without those adjustments that were made to the JPEG preview image. You are starting with the "raw" image data so that you can manipulate the image to your liking. If you find that you're making the same adjustments consistently then you can either create presets that will apply those adjustments, or you can create new default settings for your camera so that they will be applied automatically whenever you import new images.

  • RAW plus JPG in Aperture Question

    I am new to using RAW and have been reading and experimenting to understand. I have a couple of questions that would help me along.
    First, what I think I understand so you can tell me if I am wrong: When I import RAW images from my Nikon D40 to Aperture and the Nikon software, the colors on some of them look significantly different, even shooting without in-camera adjustments. I assume this is just, different converters, different results. When I apply in-camera adjustments (such as increased saturation), the effects show up in Capture NX, but not in Aperture. I understand this is because Aperture is reading the RAW information without the adjustment information, while the Nikon software applies the adjustment information. Finally, I could shoot without in-camera adjustments and then apply them in Capture NX and get pretty much the same result.
    All right so far I hope. Please tell me if not.
    My questions:
    1 - is exposure compensation a camera adjustment that is built into the RAW data, so that it will affect every RAW converter, or is it a post-RAW adjustment that is ignored by Aperture.
    2 - When I shoot RAW+jpg, I see two images (the RAW and the JPG) in the Nikon transfer software and in iPhoto, but only one image to import in Aperture. On import, Aperture is telling me that it has the RAW file. What happened to the jpg? Does it use it as the preview or does it ignore it?
    3 - If you tell me that Aperture is using the jpg as the preview, does that mean that it might look different from the RAW file, since the jpg was generated with the camera's RAW converter?
    Thanks. I know this is a lot to read, but I spent a fair amount of time experimenting and reading and still have these questions.

    Is there a way to just look at the master jpg without creating a new version from it?
    It may sound silly but creating a new version from the jpeg and then undoing this is one of the better solutions (once you have created that version, you cannot get rid of it without either deleting the underlying jpeg master or using the undo functionality).
    The other solution is you use the Quick Preview mode. If you don't have previews generated by Aperture (or if you delete them for the project in between), Quick Preview will show a smaller jpeg (~ 1MP) that is embedded in every raw file. This big thumbnail, created by the camera, will have the same rendering as the full-size jpegs produced by the camera (but might have a different compression setting).

  • Nikon D90--What Do I Need to Upload?

    I am considering buying a Nikon D90 camera. The online discussion of this camera with Macintosh computers runs the full spectrum from No Problems to Numerous and Unpredictable Problems. What this tells me is that some D90 owners, and maybe most, are managing OK uploading to iPhoto. I note that the D90 RAW file format is on the support list for 'late model' OS10.5.x and 10.6.x.
    I have a couple of practical questions: (1) Is there a simple setup (my user needs are basic) that will reliably allow me to upload photos that I just shot, into my iMac running 10.6.2? (2) Will this setup allow me to use Nikon's software for in-camera adjustments, or will I not have that functionality?
    My intent--at least initially--is to store and image-edit these photos using iPhoto '09.
    All help and suggestions appreciated! Mainly looking for a hardware setup and procedure that will work every time, and not turn into a vision quest or compatibility nightmare.
    F. Horne

    Plug the camera into the Mac.
    or
    Put the card from the Camera into a USB Card Reader and plug that into the Mac.
    Launch iPhoto (If it doesn't do it automatically.)
    Import.
    iPhoto doesn't work with Nikon's Camera Profiles. You can probably get them working with Aperture 3.

  • NEF Nikon D5100 - displaying too dark in LR

    I just bought a Nikon D5100.
    While importing the NEF files, LR firstly shows the images with the correct exposition (equal to the ones previewed in camera), then two seconds after (after fully rendering the image) LR darkens the images, so that they seem underexposed by 1 or  2 stops.
    I was using LR 3.4, then I updated to 3.5 and later on to 3.6 and in every version the same happened.
    The same pictures viewed in ViewNX2 appear with the correct parameters. So, I believe that LR does not read the camera adjustments?
    The JPG images are also shown with the correct parameters.
    Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
    Thank you.

    Using ExifTool to examine the shooting parameters of each example photos posted, here, it appears that both the Exposure and the Flash were set to Manual mode; hence the term to “operator influenced” because the camera was doing what it was told by the operator rather than using its own metering.  Exposure Compensation only has an effect if camera metering is controlling the exposure.  In M mode, the value is merely being recorded but not utilized.

    For reference, ExifTool can be downloaded from:
    http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/
    and can be used by dragging and dropping an image file onto the EXE that is renamed exiftool(-k).exe
    For a friendlier interface, something like ExifGUI can be used:
    http://u88.n24.queensu.ca/~bogdan/
    In summary, if the EXIF information is to be believed, these images are dark because the camera was being told to shoot with settings to dark for the other lighting.  Does this sound right, or did you use the camera and/or the flash in TTL mode, which should have allowed the camera and/or flash to make things bright enough with more motion or focus blur as the shutter became slower or the aperture became wider.
