Camera Calibration for photos in photoshop, Help!

Hello,
I just did a great shoot and the images came out great! but for some reason when I open them in Cs4 they look "dry" and unsaturated. When I view them in Bridge they look awesome as well as on my camera's screen. I shot in raw using my camera's vivid setting. It seems that both my camea's screen and Bridge honor the vivid setting but photoshot does not! How can I load a camera vivid color calibration setting onto photoshop so that my images come out as intended??
thanks for any help!

I too like my Camera Raw images to match my camera JPEGs, but you'll find that many folks will criticize you for wanting that. They can go pound sand. It's no sin to like the color your camera produces.
First rule of thumb is this: Photoshop does not read your camera "style" settings, nor does Adobe make a particularly strong effort to match the colors your camera produces.
That doesn't mean you can't get your starting point for raw conversions closer than what you're getting now, with your favorite set of camera settings.
What I ended up doing to accomplish that was this:
Took some images in raw mode with my favorite default camera settings.
Dragged the images into Camera Raw.
Also opened the embedded JPEGs using a viewer application.
Selected the Camera Standard profile in the Camera Calibration section of Camera Raw, which usually gets you to a closer starting point than the normal Adobe default.
I then tweaked the settings in the HSL / Grayscale section and a few other places so that my viewer-based images and my Camera Raw previews visually matched very well.
Saved the settings as Camera Raw Defaults.
Now, when I open a raw file, the default settings start out so that my images look virtually identical to my camera JPEGs.
Best of luck getting there.

Camera Calibration for Sony A500

When I go into the camera calibration for shots taken with my Sony A500, the *only* thing that appears in the profile drop-down is "Adobe Standard". Does that mean that there isn't a profile available for the A500?

" the fact that there aren't other profiles simply means that Adobe has not created other profiles that simulate in-camera rendering styles for your camera model."
So can anyone confirm that these in-camera rendering styles / profiles are not available for the A500?
And in general, if you haven't bought a Canon or Nikon, should you just expect that LR doesn't love you as much?

Camera Calibration "Fors script in PS Cs

I have done a calibration using the Gretagmacbeth Color chart,for each of my Olympus cameras E300 and E20 which are supported by ACR 2.4 in PS CS using the Fors ACR calibration script. The profiles have not been updated since that version and show as such in Lightroom.
The results have been input in the Lightroom Camera Calibration settings, as recommended in the Lightroom book by Martin Evening, and I am happy with improvement this has provided to the color rendition of my raw files.
However I am wondering if another calibration is run with the script using PS CS3 if the result will be different and improved? Any help would be appreciated.

I doubt there would be any difference, except that if you are running CS3 on a latest Intel processors you should see a significant reduction in processing times. One thing that was pointed out to me is that if you have the calibration settings stored in the xmp metadata from a file editied in Photoshop, it is easier to just create a new calibrate setting for Lightroom from the imported file.

What is "Camera Calibration" for?

What is "Camera Calibration" in Camera Raw? Is it for making adjustments to digital cameras to render more accurate color in Camera Raw? Or just for fine-tune RAW images?

because we live in a real world where there are no two things exactly the same and this also includes cameras of course. The profiles are a good starting point but if you find that they don't quite work and get constant blue tinting for instance then you can set those sliders to correct the problem inside the camera. The process usually involves photographing a color chart and then trying to match the colors on screen with the actual numbers

Camera Calibration for Nikon

In am a Nikon shooter. Along with Adobe Standard, the Nikon Picture Control names are listed in the drop-down box for LR camera calibration presets. When I select one of the Nikon Picture Control names for camera calibration, I'd like to understand if LR is only applying the settings which appear in Camera Calibration screen (shadow tint, and the R, G, and B hue and saturation), or is LR somehow also applying any of the other Develop settings associated with the Nikon Picture Control (sharpening, contrast, brightness)? I understand that I could change sharpening, contrast and brightness using Develop presets, but I'd like to understand whats going on the Lightroom calibration area first so that I do not overdo or duplicate the edits.

The camera profiles also contain a tone curve.

Camera Calibration - Fors script.

Many months ago I ran the "Fors Script" in PS CS to obtain calibration for my Olympus E300 (support was provided for this camera in ACR 2.4) and this has worked well for me in Lightroom.
I recently purchased an Olympus E510 (support provided in ACR 4.3.1) and need to produce calibration settings for this camera.
a. Is it necessary/important that the script be run in PS CS3 bearing in mind that LR/ACR 4.4.1 has updated camera profiles?.
b. Would I get the same result if I converted the .orf to .dng with the latest dng converter and run the script in PS CS?.
c. Is it advisable to run a new calibration for the E300?.

a & b) I would simply convert E-510 ORF to DNG and calibrate with CS. How well it works needs to be evaluated by you, but it should be possible.
c) I don't see a need to calibrate the E-300 again. That is and maybe I don't understand your question, but how would running the cal again be different?
How well CS/ACR2 works with the Fors script relative to the current ACR version is the unanswered question.

Camera Calibration for D610

I'm using Nikon D610 and I shoot in RAW files. However, when I import my files using Lightroom and when I wanted to change the camera profile under the camera calibration tab, I could only find those profiles of Adobe standard, camera standard etc. What should I do so that I could choose the profile for Nikon D610 standard etc...?

Each and every camera model supported by LR / ACR will have an Adobe Standard profile which is created specifically for the camera model.
The camera profiles you are seeing when you have a raw file from your Nikon D610 are specific to that camera. Its just the Adobe naming convention.

Macbook Pro Color Profile and Calibration for Photo processing.

Hello Friends,
May be it has already discussed in many forums but somehow I got confused about different solutions of the questions and due to this asking once again here.
I am using Macbook pro of 2012 and there exist many color profiles in the Display settings.
I am a photographer who uses Photoshop for the editing as well as Canon Software.
To get the most accurate Monitor Calibration Should I use default "color LCD" profile ?
I am not using any External Calibration tool. I have manually calibrate the screen but somehow I am not 100% confident on that.
In that case should I go for default "color LCD" for my photo processing. I found some light yellow cast/warm color on that profile but I am not sure..
Any help/suggestion will be much appreciated.
I am using:- MacBook Pro + OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.5
Warm Regards,
Ari...

Which model MacBook Pro? [EDIT] my bad, didn't see it in your original post
You mentioned that there is no error message when you try to change the profile; something is probably being reported to console though. Open Console.app (in /Applications/Utilities/) and see if anything is reported to it while you're experiencing these problems. If so, please post it here and I'll take a look at it.
Are you using the default profile that came with the machine or did you create your own by using the Calibration Assistant?
You might try opening Color Sync Utility (in /Applications/Utilities/) and verify or repair (if necessary) your color profiles.
Hope this helps....

Looking for Photo shop 6 help.

I am new to Photo shop and Photoshop element 6 came with my new Epson Scanner... I am in the process of scanning hundreds of slides that I have from years ago. Some of them are in need of help. I can't seem to find the help I need for Element 6. I am trying to fix a couple now that have a crackle look to them...I have been trying with the top photo of our son who is now 44, so that tells you how old these are.
Our daughter on the right is now 49 and handicapped so really want to try and learn this. Like I said I am new to this but follow directions well and want to learn, thank you so much.

This program has a steep learning curve. There are many books available to assisit you - check in the library.
Photoshop Elements 6: The Missing Manual by Barbara Brundage is excellent. It is available at Amazon for a bargain price, since the latest iteration of the program is Photoshop Elements 9. However, since you have v.6, I would work with that. You don't need all the bells and whistles to start with.

As for your second picture, it appears to be in better shape.
I restored the faces of the little girl and the lady with the healing brush tool, and got rid of most of the glare in the eyes. (Don't know if that is in v.6, if not, you can use the clone tool)
I boosted the contrast .
The thing to remember when restoring these old pictures is that the enemy of good is perfection. One can touch up a spot here and there with the brush tool, but it is apt to look fake when carried too far.
Feel free to repost here. There are many people who can help.

Convert Fujifilm Classic Chrome camera calibration for X-T1 to X-E2?

I have an X-E2 that has the Classic Chrome calibration profile with the new Fuji 3.0.0 firmware.
However, Lightroom 5.7 doesn't recognize that change, even though it does activate for the X-T1.
Is there a way to extract or convert the X-T1's profile and adapt or rename it to work with the X-E2 when working with RAW RAF files, rather than with the in-camera JPGs?
Alternately, is Adobe planning on enabling the Classic Chrome profile for the X-E2 since it has that profile in the new firmware?
Thanks.

The latest version of LR which is 5.7.1 was released Dec 15th with functionality finalized sometime before then. The X-E2 firmware that includes Classic Chrome was released Dec 18th. These camera-match profiles that simulate Fuji shooting modes, while not supplied as external .dcp files like other Adobe camera-match profiles, are still created by Adobe and coded into the software, and there's no way LR could duplicate something that Fuji released several days later.
The good news, or at least hope for LR users, is that Adobe's Camera Raw 8.8 plug-in for Photoshop does include the Classic Chrome profile as a selection for the X-E2, so Adobe has figured out how to do it:
The bad news is that there hasn't been a LR 5.8 to match the ACR 8.8 plug-in.
I believe this is because Adobe never intended to have even an ACR 8.8 but released it so people with the new E-M5 Mark II could work with their camera's raw files. Getting a plug-in release ready is much easier than an entire LR program so I doubt Adobe will release a LR 5.8 and will go straight to LR 6, unless LR 6 is delayed for several more months. From what I'd guess, there isn't a LR 5.x team that is independent of the LR 6 team, so if Adobe stopped work on LR 6 to push out a LR 5.8, that would delay LR 6 even further into the future, and there may be some hard date, like an international photography conference, somewhere, that Adobe wants to announce LR 6 at so they can't afford to delay it longer than it already has been.
Photoshop is paid for on a monthly basis, now, so announcements about what's new aren't as important as LR, which is still available as a standalone upgrade, so adding new features will generate more revenue for Adobe and the time to announce those new features will generate more buzz at some times of year than others.

Camera resolution for NetStream. Please help.

I'm developing a videochat app that should work on different network speeds. The idea was to switch to lower resolution if by some criteria delay becomes too noticable (say, delay is 2 seconds, or dropped videoMessage packet ratio is more than 20%). Or if on the other hand user has fast network connection then app should increase the resolution and thus providing better video image quality.
The problem: I can not find anyone done this before, thus I am comming to the conclusions that I'm doing something wrong here.
Is it possible that RTMFP is lowering the video image quality automatically when ever it thinks that delay is too huge? If this is the case, than should I set the video resolution for camera to 1600x1200 and feed it to the netstream and allow NetStream to take care of everything else, or there is some other magic numbers for resolution that I should set?
If this is not the case and RTMFP is not taking care of lowering/increasing video quality automatically then how can I measure the quality. I know there are NetStream.info and NetStream.liveDelay, nether of which for RTMFP connections provides valuable information to detect delay. For me liveDelay is going up to 20 and then fluctuacting there, but for info videoLossRate property is always zero, even if I set everything to max and lag is very noticable.
So how is RTMFP intended to use?

I agree. In fact, make it your workflow when sending this type of file to an online vendor. The importance of the 350ppi requirement is for any of your transparency or raster effects to match their RIP's output line screen. It's becoming an industry wide mistake to refer to file resolution in terms of dpi. Do yourself a favor and get familiarized with the terms dpi and ppi, what they really are and what importance they play in output. The advantage to PDF is the fact that you can establish the output resolution, color settings, and font embedding that will trim the variables that could go wrong on the vendor's end. Your job is to make sure you apply the correct resolution, color, and font settings in the original file and again when you generate the final PDF. If you are unsure, find a local print provider that knows what they are doing and can teach you how to setup a file properly. You may have to intern somewhere, take a good course somewhere, and/or buy a really good and accurate book on prepress file standards. Try your local book store or library. Use better keywords when searching on the web, take a look at some of adobe.com's resources ( i.e., A Designer's Guide to PDF or similar ). Now, you will need to learn more about Illustrator Color Settings and the Raster Effects Resolution Settings. These are two areas you should spend a little time getting to know how different settings will affect output. In the case of your business card, set the raster resolution to "High". That will cover you on their 350ppi requirement. Do not get discouraged by seeing their proof on screen. It's just a preview. Do not get too comfortable with what you see on your screen unless your entire workstation is calibrated and even then you have to be cautious.

HT4355 Searching for Camera Model for photos taken and stored

Hi there
I have a heap of photos stored on a hard drive.
I want to search for the photos that were taken with a particular camera.
Is there any way to do this on mac book pro.
It is not the file name, but the details of the file type and camera used to take the photo that I wish to locate.
It can be done on windows search, but not sure how on mac
Thanks

MAX typically creates the ICD (and IID) files when you plug the camera in and it "finds" it. Have you done this? Does MAX "see" your camera? Can you use MAX to snap a picture or a video?
If the answer to all these questions is "Yes", then MAX has probably made the files for you. Look in the Public Documents (I'm assuming Windows), National Instruments\NI-IMAQdx\Data for the files.
There is one "gotcha" -- MAX should be able to find cameras plugged into a USB port on the PC, as well as cameras connected via TCP/IP on the local subnet. If the camera is "discoverable" (meaning somewhere "near" on the network, but not perhaps within the local subnet), then MAX may not be able to find it. Try plugging the camera in "near" your PC -- you can get MAX to make you the files that you need, but you'll need to modify them to reflect the "actual" IP address of the camera once you plug it in to the non-local subnet. [We've complained to NI Vision people about this, but we still "do it by hand" when necessary ...].
