Camera calibration - Adobe/Camera standard?

Hi,
I found my Canon 7D images was not very good regarding colors, red was often near orange. I used "camera standard" as default.
I downloaded software from X-rite and made a new profile with a colorchecker and my images became much much better and I am happy. But then I noticed that the difference between "adobe standard" and my new profile was very small.
So my question is, should not the "camera standard" be much closer to the "correct" profile than the "adobe standard"? I thought the "camera standard" was made for Canon 7D, but that does not seem to be correct. Have I misunderstood something?

So my question is, should not the "camera standard" be much closer to the "correct" profile than the "adobe standard"? I thought the "camera standard" was made for Canon 7D, but that does not seem to be correct. Have I misunderstood something?
The camera standard profile is supposed to approximate the jpeg rendering of your camera in its default (standard) settings. So certainly this is not what we would call "correct". It approximates what Canon thinks looks great and is based more on aesthetic considerations than on a desire to get correct color. It basically represents a reverse engineering by Adobe of Canon's "secret sauce". The in-camera jpeg renderings are far from colorimetrically correct. The Adobe standard is based on calibrations using color charts done at Adobe. They are very lightly tweaked for pleasant color (mostly skin) but not by as much as the Canon profiles your camera uses. The Adobe standard profile should be pretty close to correct. When you generate your own profile, you get correct rendering for your specific camera. This compensates for variation between copies of the camera and for color differences in your lenses/filters/lighting conditions. Normally that should not be too far from Adobe Standard. The X-rite software tends to generate a more contrasty profile than Adobe Standard in my experience but the difference in color is not that large.

Nikon NEF red's show to orange as Camera Standard color profile in LR/ACR

I am using a D4s and the red colors in my NEFs in LR 5.5 show more orange. They are not accurate and I am using Camera Standard or Portrait. My screens are calibrated. I see a difference (more true) comparing with Nikon's native program. Even in Capture One the reds are more true. Am I the only one to see this in LR? If I leave the file in Adobe Standard its too saturated and also wrong. Why is it that I notice this more in Nikon files than Canon files in LR/Camera Raw (using 8.5 now)?

How to rival the color accuracy of "Camera Standard"

Can anyone point me in the right direction: Do you know what tools or even spectral instruments I would need in order to create a DNG profile with similar color accuracy to Camera Standard? Twisted profiles created with color checker charts don't seem to behave equally well, which makes me wonder where the difference lies, and what tools would I need to be able to create or even tweak profiles with accuracy & wide-spread applicability?

Yes and no... Adobe has profiles for the camera, but I find the need to diverge from them.
The biggest part in my mind is knowing where to begin to rival the color accuracy of "Camera Standard," or "Adobe Standard." I feel like this is the "unknown" and I'd like to build a profile from the bottom up in a way that I could improve on these profiles or at least rival them, without inadvertently degrading them.
Is there anyone like MadManChan2000 that could simply point me where I need to start or where I need to do my reading?
Thanks so much,
Bert

Camera Standard beta 2 for D3 showing distinct blue tone on darkish greys.

I have looked today at some hundred or so past D3 NEF virtual images reset to Import default, for which in my case uses Camera Standard beta 1.
I then - without making any other adjustments - applied Camera Standard beta 2. In many cases there was - to my eyes at least - no discernible difference. Particularly in those shots taken in bright sunlight with balanced sky/ground/flesh-tone balance.
However, all the images which contained medium to dark grey areas - roofs/shadows/roadways/etc. - showed a distinct blue/purple cast. The same was true of the few I tried applying other Nikon beta 2 profiles - each to a greater or lesser extent. That said, I didn't spend a lot of time on these; rather concentrating on the Camera Standard as I have been hooked on this since its introduction.
For background, my monitor is well calibrated, and I do not use Nikon Picture Controls other than the default.

Eric:
Eventually managed to send 13.8MB NEF file this morning UK time via YouSendIt. New system to me.
Anyway, I wanted to state publicly that my post was merely a comment on a beta element; and in no way an implied criticism or moan. I am very happy to continue using Camera Standard beta 1 as my default.
Only fly in that ointment might be that, in the future, beta 1s disappear, to be replaced by a new 'final' profile more akin to beta 2.

D810 RAW conversion in LR 5.6 shows posterization at certain camera profiles: Camera Standard, vivid, monochrome that it does not show with identical photos from a D800. Is this bug already known?

Never had this problem seen before in all my years of LR use. I use a test-chart with a continuous gray bar (from dark to light). Normally use Camera Standard profile to develop all my D800 RAW files with no problem so far. Got a D810 to test this week and did some tests using the same target. Suddenly there are some ugly posterization effects in the gray bar to be seen that can only be eliminated with heavy color-noise reduction or by switching to any other profile but Camera standard, Camera Vivid, Camera monochome.
The following 100% crop shows the effect from a D810:
And this is the same crop from a D800-shot:

OK, after posting there was the right suggestion of other forum threads that took care of the issue:
Nikon D810 & Lightroom 5.6 posterization issue with Camera Profiles
So this thread can be closed.

Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.3.1 loads pages very slowly with Windows XP 64 bit version

Our company has purchased Dell Precision T3500 workstations with Intel XEON processor and 6 Gb of RAM. The operating system is Windows XP 64-bit version. The systems came with Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.3.1. Each one of these workstations load PDF files into Acrobat very slowly. Does anyone have a answer why?

f. Double click the "Network Adapter" entry, and then click "Have Disk..."
g. Select the directory which you extracted the driver files to
i. You will get messages saying that Windows cannot verify that the driver matches your hardware, and that the driver is not WHQL certified. Ignore these and click "Continue"/"Install Anyways" and your RealTek RTL8169/8110 ethernet adapter will spring to life
after i have done this the pc just stops. and if i reboot it stops at the loading screen :/ can you tell me whats wrong i got a k8t neo serie card and windows 64 bit edition

I purchased Adobe Design Standard in June 1993 and have not downloaded it until now. when I click on the software on my account there is no download button. How can I download the software I purchased so long ago? I hope it is not money down the drain. Is there any phone number available so I can talk to an Adobe employee?

Which version of Design Standard are you asking about? I don't think any Creative Suite packages existed in 1993. I think the first CS came out in 2003.

Installation for Adobe Acrobat Standard 9 and Premiere Elements 8

Hey guys,
I was hoping to see if anyone could help me out with this. I recently bought a new laptop, and obviously, I was stuck a few days moving everything from my old one to my new one. So when it came to install the Adobe Acrobat Standard 9 in the new computer, I noticed that the installer here at the Adobe Web Page is not accepting my serial number for that product. And additionally, I don't see the installer for the Premiere Elements 8 and I don't know if the Photoshop Elements 8 installer in the web page is gonna do the same thing like the Acrobat Standard 9. Hope to hear from you. Thanks in advance.

Hi DJRicky7,
You can download Premiere Elements 8 from the direct download links available at: Direct Download Links for Lightroom 3 and Photoshop Elements 8 | ProDesignTools
Please make sure you follow the important steps mentioned on the page before initiating the download.

Adobe 9 standard Crashes when trying to scan

Hello all,
I read the post earlier about Adobe 9 standard (9.4.5) having trouble setting Scan Portfolios. I tired the suggestion to no availe still have scanning problem.
Running Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard (9.4.5), OS Windows 7 Home, on a HP Pavilion dv6 laptop. Problem is when I go to scan I get the error "AdobeAcrobat 9.4 has stopped working." "Messages" point me to an Adobe KB article which deals with installing updates. All updates are installed, I can view PDF's, create them from a file, create a PDF portfolio. but I cannot scan. Scanner is a Canon DR2010C. works with the software that came with the scanner no problem. Only in Adobe. Need help quickly. Adobe was working ok until this past Monday. Thanks in advance

Adobe Acrobat Standard XI: Why prompted to save file when nothing changed?

I have Adobe Acrobat Standard as the default PDF reader. I PDF printed a page from a website. Then I clicked to open the PDF. After I finished viewing the file, I closed the window. Adobe Acrobat prompts me to save: Yes, No, Cancel. Since I changed absolutly nothing, I am puzzled why Adobe Acrobat's save dialog thinks there are changes and askes me whether I want to save the changes.
I have repeated opening and closing the PDFseveral times.
Then, I tried opening and closing another PDF, and it just closes without prompting to save.
Why do I get different behaviors on different PDFs? And can I control the behavior to get or not get the save prompt when there are no changes?

I like that Adobe Acrobat will correct problems, then ask you whether to save.
In the case of this file, I click Yes to save. Then the next time I open and close the file, it asks again, and I click Yes to save. Adobe Acrobat always does it with this file.
With another file, Adobe Acrobat (AA) does not prompt, unless I change the file.
I don't know which difference matters. AA created both PDFs. The problem file was a print from a webpage. The good file (that closes without prompting) was created from a scanner.
I tried PDF printing this page (i.e. the page on which I am composing my response to your message). Then, I opened and closed the PDF, and was prompted to save.
Seems like if AA corrected the problem, and I saved, AA should not have to correct the problem again (if that is what's happening). Also, if AA made the PDF in the first place, there should be no problems with the PDFto correct.
You know what? I just tried printing another website and same prompting everytime I close.
I've been using Chrome. I tried printing with Internet Explorer, and no problem of prompting when closing.
Hmm. I just tried PDF printing from FireFox. No problem here either.
Well, Now I suppose I just leave it for Google and Adobe to work out, if they care to.
I just tried opening the problem file in AA and PDF printing from it. This seems to have cleaned the file. The second PDF file has no problem opening and closing.
I've got an idea. I just went to the address bar in Chrome and typed "Chrome://plugins". That's the only way I know to get to the Chrome plugins. I saw that I have BOTH the Chrome built-in PDF Reader AND the Adobe Create plugins enabled. I disabled the Chrome PDF Reader so ONLY the Adobe Create plugin is enabled.
I printed this webpage again (the webpage you are reading). This time, there was no problem opening and closing the PDF, no prompts to save.
However, now online PDFs will not display in Chrome. Instead, Chrome offers to download the PDF.
I went back to the plugins and found Adobe Reader disabled. I enabled Adobe Reader so now I have both Adobe Reader and Adobe Create plugins enabled.
The problem came back.
I don't know who would fix this, Adobe or Chrome, but would be nice to "have my cake and eat it, too" meaning, not have to muck with the plugins to AA-print clean PDFs from Chrome, and then muck again with the plugins to display PDFs in Chrome.
I tried FireFox. Displays PDFs, and AA-prints PDFs that are clean (i.e. no prompt on closing from AA).
Well, that is enough (maybe more than enough) from me on this. I'll monitor this discussion in case anyone comments.

How do I reinstall an OEM version of Adobe Acrobat Standard X

I have an OEM card for Adobe Acrobat Standard X. I cannot download the trial of this and then activate it becasue the download automatically goes to Acrobat Pro and then says the serial number I have is invalid. I cannot go to the store because I do not have an order ... it came as an OEM software with the computer I purchased. I cannot call anyone as there is no number listed. The website listed on the card takes me through the deadend circle expalined above of the Acrobat Pro Trial with an invalid serial number. So does anyone have any ideas?

Yes ... Jeff's forum link supplied the link to Dell of https://smartsource.dell.com. I did purchase the Standard version with a Dell, so I will go try to download it from the link to Dell. Thank you both. It is too bad that Dell does supply that link by putting a sticker on the card ... I think that would save a lot of people time and avoid frustration. I have had simular difficulties with OEM software cards in the past, but usually can get around it by downloading a trial version first. Again, thanks.

I need help re Adobe Pro 9 and Adobe Xi Standard

I recently bought a Fujitsu Scan Snap for my home office. I installed the Scan snap with no issues. Unfortunately, there are no real instruction with regard to the software end of the installation process. The scanner came with additional software (Adobe XI standard). I loaded it too. Pro to loading XI, I had Adobe Pro 9 that I used religiously. I am freelance paralegal and need the ability to bates label documents and manipulate pdfs. I went back and uninstalled XI and that did not work either. I went on a forum and got feedback that when I installed XI it deleted 9 Pro. There was nothing that told me that my Pro 9 would be deleted when I installed the Xi standard. At this point I am screwed because I no longer have my 9 Pro disks to reinstall it. What are my options to get the capabilities I need? I would prefer to have my old Pro 9 back as I know how to use it efficiiently. Can you still purchase 9 pro? I am clueless because someone else set my computer up a long time ago and I do not have any of the software to reload. Another questions, if I cannot purchase 9 Pro, can I upgrade fron XI standard to XI pro and will it have the bates labeling feature?

Did you ever register Acrobat 9? If so, then you should be able to find your serial number for it under your account here on adobe.com ...
Getting the installer for Acrobat 9 is trickier, though. Adobe doesn't sell it anymore, but you might still be able to get it from them.
You should be able to purchase an upgrade from XI Standard to XI Pro, yes. This can be done via Products - Acrobat on adobe.com.

Re-Installing a factory loaded Adobe X Standard with the serial number.

I just want to know where the link is to download Adobe X Standard. I have the serial number but for some reason can find no link to X only XI. Any help would be appreciated. This version came pre-loaded on my Dell Laptop. My hard drive failed and here I am.
Louie

John is correct I have verified that the Professional serial number will not work the Standard installer. GeneralLou if you previously purchased the download option then please contact our support team to re-enable the download. If you previously purchased a physical version of the installation media but are no longer able to locate it then you are welcome to also contact our support team. Without the software being available under your account however it may be necessary to purchase an upgrade to the current version. You can contact our chat support at http://adobe.ly/yxj0t6.
