Camera is set to sRGB, but Aperture metatdata says Adobe RGB

I have my Canon 40D's color profile set to sRGB, even though I get the impression that it serves no purpose if I am shooting RAW images (which I am). Even if it makes no difference in RAW, I still have to choose a profile in the camera's settings (I guess in case I switch to shoot JPEGs). Anyway, why does the EXIF Expanded metatdata in Aperture say "Adobe RGB"? Should I, and how do I, change that in Aperture?
And does this matter?

Adobe RGB gives you a wide range of color, while sRGB give you less color. Since RAW files give you a lot of information, Aperture works with them in Adobe RGB. As mentioned in other posts, you can always export in sRGB. Personally, the only time I would use sRGB is for website photos or online photo labs when they request sRGB files. It is always best to start out with a lot of color and work your way down rather than the other way around. Down the road if you make something like fine art inkjet prints, you will be glad you have RAW files with the Adobe RGB color space.

  • Installed digital camera raw update 3.8, but Aperture doesn't recognize Oly E-P3 raw files

    I was excited to see that the digital camera raw compatibility update 3.8 purported to provide support for Olympus E-P3 raw files. I installed it from Software Update, and Aperture 3.1.3 (OSX 10.6.8) still showed the raw files as "unsupported". I restarted my Mac, got the same result. I downloaded and installed the standalone update, and again got the same result. Has anyone else had success with the update?

    I found a solution. My E–P3 raw files still showed up as “unsupported” after reinstalling the update from the standalone updater. I discovered that selecting one of the “unsupported” raw files and having Aperture reprocess it (even though it had never been processed at all) made the file recognizable by Aperture and allowed me to make adjustments to it. I then reprocessed all of my E–P3 raw files and the only problem I have noted is that the vertical files were not auto rotated.
    In reprocessing the raw files, I selected "only photos without adjustments" and "reprocess existing images". I hope this helps anyone who experienced this problem.

  • Canon 5D Mk2 arrived, but Aperture 2 says 'unsupported file'

    I'm really delighted with my Canon 5D Mk2, but less so that Aperture 2 doesn't recognise my RAW files.Yikes!
    As a working photographer, how can I work round this, and how long will it be until I see an update to allow me to use this camera?
    Will Aperture automatically see the update when it comes, because I can't find a 'Check for Updates' button.
    Thanks in advance.

    When you use the DNG conversion, you are essentially turning your RAW file into a TIFF on steroids. Aperture recognizes the image file as such and only makes available the settings/adjustments that are available for TIFF/PSD images.
    This is a very bastardized explanation: Basically, the DNG has a higher bit depth than traditionally the TIFF/PSD has as well as the fact that has a lossless compression. The Adobe DNG converter takes a RAW file, and converts it to a high class TIFF with special privileges so to speak.
    You are right, there is an extra step added to workflow when converting to Adobe DNG but it is rather painless I think. Yes, it does take some extra time but, you are able to use files from a camera that isn't yet supported natively. A pretty good trade off I think.
    [Note: I rarely upgrade my camera systems until Aperture supports them natively given I depend on Aperture for my workflow. My feeling, even if the new camera is really rad, it isn't going to be useful if I can't continue with the post processing, thus making a living.] If I'm forced to use the DNG converter I will download all the unsupported Aperture files to a folder, make a backup copy of the originals, then run the unsupported Aperture files through the DNG supporter and go to lunch or go to bed. When I get back, I simply import the DNG files into Aperture and I'm good to go.
    Hope this helps.

  • I have the latest plugins and firefox but it still says 'adobe flash plugin has crashed' How do i fix this?

    Every time I go on YouTube, it comes up with: 'adobe flash plugin has crashed'. I have tried refreshing and restarting my laptop, I have also got all the latest flash and Firefox, but it still won't work.

    I'd start with disabling Hardware Acceleration, as described in the video troubleshooting guide below:
    Video playback issues
    If that solves the problem, make sure that your graphics drivers are current. 
    If it *still* happens with current drivers, please give us detailed information on the graphics card and driver, so that we can disable hardware acceleration on this configuration and start a conversation with the appropriate vendor.
    The best way to get this information is to do the following (on Windows):
    Open a command prompt
    Type: dxdiag
    Hit Enter
    This should launch the DirectX Diagnostic Tool
    Click Save All Information (or whatever that save button says).

  • I am trying to download photoshop trial but it keeps saying Adobe Application Manager quite unexpectantly... how do i get past this?

    Please help!  I am on a MAC and I can't get past it saying Adobe Application Manager quite unexpectantly.  It gives me the options of "OK", "Re-open" or "Quit".  I have tried all of them and they all get me no where!

    Please refer to :
    Troubleshoot Creative Cloud download and install issues

    InDesign trial download - Adobe Applications manager keeps quitting unexpectedly.
    You can download directly if using a different browser also fails.if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here: http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cc-direct-download-links.html and activate with your serial number. if you have a problem downloading, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies. The most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com), failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com.

  • How do I get photoshop to open my images as sRGB instead of Adobe RGB?

    My Camera is set to sRGB but when I open the raw files they are opening as adobe RGB. I take photos of clothing for online stores and when the Adobe RGB images are loaded onto their site it is turning all of the skin tones grey. I don't want to manually change every photo when I open them in photoshop.
    Also, what is better for portraits and printing? sRGB or Adobe RGB?
    Britt

    This is set in ACR workflow options (the blue link below the main image window).
    The camera setting is irrelevant, that only applies to in-camera processed jpegs. A raw file has no color space until it's opened into one in the raw converter.
    Stay with sRGB until you know why you want a bigger color space. It has advantages, but also carries risks that can bite you if you don't know what you're doing.

  • Color profile (sRGB Vs. Adobe RGB)

    Hello,
    As I am struggling with choosing the 'right' color profile for my photo's (either sRGB or Adobe RGB) I was wondering what your opinion of this subject is. I have searched the internet for the information about this subject, but the forums/answers/information couldn't give me enough satisfaction.
    For editing photo's I am using Adobe Photoshop, for my library I use iPhoto. Some photo's are uploaded to sites as www.facebook.com. Sometimes I order a photo book via iPhoto.
    Because there are pros and cons for both sRGB and Adobe RGB I am not sure which profile I have to choose. I would like to choose one format, since this will standardize my library.
    Looking forward to your opinion.
    Best Regards,
    Jelle

    Larry & Terence,
    Did you do any on-screen testing or proofing? All modern browsers support ICC profiles and should show improvement with Adobe RGB in certain color ranges (NOT just Facebook).
    Apple products aren't "designed" for sRGB. sRGB is a standard developed by Hewlett Packard and Microsoft (and I think we all can agree those aren't Apples best friends). sRGB is the default for most Cameras and SmartPhones, that doesn't mean it's the best.
    Most monitors sold in the last 5 years have wider gamut support than the sRGB.
    Article "Can the entire sRGB color gamut be displayed on today's LCD monitors?"
    http://ninedegreesbelow.com/photography/srgb-bad-working-space-profile.html
    "sRGB was created to match the display characteristics of consumer-grade CRT monitors manufactured in the1990s." "LCDs use a completely different technology to make colors..." "All wide gamut monitors by definition can show more greens, yellows, and cyans than sRGB."
    Apple even suggests "Adobe RGB offers a wider gamut than sRGB, and is usually a better choice, if available." in this article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2026
    iPhoto 6 and newer have support for ColorSync profiles, older versions may not work with Adobe RGB and could cause the color to look worse. If a profile isn't present, or isn't supported iPhoto assigns Camera RGB. Complaints about "dark" color from iPhoto are more than 5 years old.

  • SRGB or Adobe RGB

    What do I have to choose on my camera Canon D400
    sRGB or Adobe RGB
    And after I made that choice do I have to choose those setting in Bridge and PS CS5 too?

    sRGB is the safest bet (Adobe RGB has a bit more color gamut if you know what you are doing)
    if you shoot RAW (16 bit recommended) for highest quality, the camera capture space doesn't matter
    i recommend these Adobe Color Settings mostly for the color management policies that warn you of profile mismatches and preserve embedded profiles (set the working spaces as you like)...

  • Camera set to sRGB, Opens as Adobe RGB

    I have a Canon 5D, color space set to sRGB. When opening RAW file in Camera Raw 5.0, it opens as Adobe RGB. How can I fix this?
    Thanks!

    > Wouldn't that be true only if you were targeting a smaller space, like sRGB?
    Factual clipping, i.e. pixel saturation on the raw level has nothing to do with the intention regarding the processing of the raw image. If pixel saturation is reached, then the raw pixel value is invalid.
    The issue is, how one can achieve an in-camera conversion, which resembles the closest the raw data, in order to be able to tell how the actual exposure was. There are several steps, which can not be neutralized for the in-camera conversion, one of them being the color space conversion. Furthermore, the spectral characteristics of the color filters play a huge role in this question, so my suggestion is camera model related.
    For example re the Nikon D300 I suggest using Adobe RGB in-camera. This is, because Nikon changed the color filters for the D300 sensors from the previous models very much. They are almost always changed from one model to another, but this change was extraordinarily big: the transmissity of the red range is much larger in all three filters than with other sensors. This has lead lots of photographers believe that the "red channel overexposes" (which occurs very seldom, practically nie before green saturation). Thus my (unproven!) suggestion is, that the in-camera histogram and clipping indication of the D300 gets closer to reflecting the raw data with Adobe RGB than with sRGB.

  • I recently got IOS 8 and I like it but there is one problem on my camera roll it says i have 600 photos but i went into setting general and about and it says i have 2,743 photos my photos keep on duplicating how do i get this to stop.

    Hi Bpaitin,
    Go to Settings>General>Usage, and under iCloud, click on Manage Storage>click on your device, then under Backup Options, turn Photo Library off and then back on. See if that clears it up.
    If it does not, reset your device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Slide to Unlock screen redisplays, see if the issue is resolved.
    Cheers,

  • SRGB or Adobe RGB in camera when using Aperture?

    I would appreciate any help I can get with this one:
    Which color space should I use in my D300 (sRGB or Adobe RGB) if I'm using Aperture and why? I'm referring to shooting RAW. Or does color space only matter if I shoot JPEGs? Does it depend on output?
    Thanks,
    Jerry

    It depends on your needs. Adobe RGB is a wider color space so if you're going to do any work with the photo, it will give you a little more flexibility without clipping the colors. But you WILL have to convert it to sRGB before sending to a printer or publishing to the web, if you don't want issues with non-color-aware browsers (which means, pretty much any browser but Safari).
    Still... Aperture makes using RAW as easy as JPEG with numerous benefits so there's little reason to shoot JPEG and use Aperture

  • Adobe RGB changed to sRGB after export in Aperture 2.1.1 Why?

    I have tried taken pictures with color profile Adobe RGB, but all images exported via Aperture 2.1.1 shows up as sRGB in the EXIF. Does Aperture convert the color profile somewhere?

    When exporting, you get to choose your color profile. The export pre-set you chose uses sRGB. So, after choosing your export preset, click on the preset drop-down menu again and go all the way down to "Edit". This will allow you to change the profile to Adobe RGB from sRGB. That setting now will always be used for that pre-set. If needed, you can create other pre-sets by clicking the plus symbol in the bottom left corner of that edit dialog box.
