Canon SX50 True color of a rising moon. Red or Orange

Canon SX50 What settings for capturing red or orange moon rising. Mine comes out white!  Ideas?

Karen,
There are several tricks to get the moon shots to come out right. Most people attempt the shot as a night shot, and wind up over exposing the shot. Set your ISO to around 125 to 200. Shutter speed will be around 1/320; you may need to try a little higher or lower, but not less than 1/250. If you are using the zoom for a closer view, you will want to use a higher shutter speed, such as 1/320, to reduce camera shake. Using Shutter priority, let the camera select the aperture. Take several shots and see if you want a little darker (- exposure compensation) of lighter (+ exposure compensation). If you want to get real adventurous, you can set the camera to center weighted or spot metering in the functions menu, but for now see how you do with the basics. Then try the other metering methods I mentioned to see if that helps you get what you have in mind.
Good luck and have fun!

  • When I print to Canon 100 Pro using Photoshop elements 12 for Mac, do not get true color as when I print straight from photo

    When I print using Macbook and Adobe Elements 12 on Canon 100Pro, do not get true color.  When I download a photo and print from the download, I get true color.  Where do I start to fix issue?  It appears to be a Photoshow issue rather than Macbook or Canon 100 Pro.

  • Canon S100 RAW color issues

    Hello, all. I created a thread with this similar issue a few months ago but never really got it resolved. Instead of reviving an old thread, I decided to just recreate it with updated information.
    I have the new Canon S100 and I am having an issue with how the RAW files appear in Lightroom.
    I import the photos into a Lightroom catalog and they all look fine within the importer window (which shows essentially what a JPEG would look like), but when I click on the photo in Library or Develop, once the photo finishes loading, the red saturation goes through the roof.
    Any photo that already had a little bit of warmth to it exploded with red.
    Whereas any photo taken in normal light gains a little more warmth and exposure.
    Here are a couple examples of the JPEG preview (also how it looks in-camera) compared with what the RAW looks like once it's been loaded in Lightroom. (The above or left photo is the “normal” version, the bottom/2nd image is the RAW)     
    It’s sort of difficult to tell with some of the photos by looking at them side-by-side. I also have the individual photos if you want to A/B them to see the changes that are actually occurring.
    There are no presets being applied upon import.
    The only solution I've found is to convert them all into JPEGs using Canon's software (which does not alter the images as seen above), and edit them in Lightroom as JPEGs, but that completely eliminates the point of buying a camera that is capable of shooting in RAW.
    I’ve been having this issue since the S100 first came out (when I purchased it) with Lightroom 3.6RC and was told that it would be fixed in Lightroom 3.6… which it wasn’t… nor was it fixed in Lightroom 4.
    I decided to just go ahead and convert all my photos to JPEGs until I found a fix to this so I could at least have my photos (I had photos from my anniversary with my girlfriend in November that I couldn’t do anything with so I was sick of waiting).
    I figured I’d wait till more people had the camera, expecting this issue to be more widespread… but now that a lot of people have the S100, I’ve looked around and found no other instances of this happening… so I’m worried it’s something on my end.
    I have a 2008 13” MacBook Pro running OSX 10.7.3 and I have the latest version of Lightroom (4.0) and Camera Raw (7.0) installed. I’ve tried the photos in Photoshop CS5 and it does the same thing. When this first happened back in December I tried the photos in Aperture as well and it did the same thing.
    The only software that seems to recognize the true color of the photos is Canon’s horrible “professional editing” software.
    Thanks in advance.

    I recently bought an S100 and encountered the same problem. With Camera Standard in Lightroom, Reds are too bright, greens are shifted towards yellow, and some yellows are shifted towards orange.
    I have been using Lightroom since the beta, with different cameras from different manufacturers. The camera profiles for the S100 are the worst I have experienced by far. The profiles, particularly all of the profiles that start with "Camera," do not fit this camera. I believe somebody made a mistake. It could have been someone at Canon, it could have been someone at Adobe. I don't expect this mistake to be fixed, or even acknowledged.
    Moving on, here is my workaround:
    Start with the Powershot S110 Camera Standard profile.
    Use dcpTool to decompile the profile.
    Open the decompiled profile in a text editor.
    At the top, change the name to S110 Standard.
    At the bottom, set the baseline exposure offset to zero.
    At the bottom, change the model restriction from S110 to S100
    Use dcpTool to compile the modified profile. Give the resulting .dcp file a different name than the original.
    Put the new .dcp file in the appropriate directory, open Lightroom and apply the S110 Standard profile to your S100 images.
    dcpTool is here:
    http://dcptool.sourceforge.net/Introduction.html
    This hacked S110 profile gets rid of the blazing reds. It does have some problems with yellows and greens. I solve this in Lightroom by using +20 in Camera Calibration: Green Primary: Hue. I haven't had my camera very long, and I may end up making other adjustments in Lightroom. But using the Powershot S110 Camera Standard profile seems like the best place to start.
    I tried using Adobe's DNG Profile Editor app on the S110 "Camera" profiles, but did not get good results. From what others have posted on Adobe's forums, this is to be expected. A lot of the "Camera" profiles are too complicated for DNG Profile Editor to work well on. Both the S100 and S110 Camera Standard profiles have over 23,000 lines of code when decompiled!
    I also tried dcpTool (and DNG Profile Editor) with some of the other S series and G series profiles, without finding anything that works better than the S110 Camera Standard profile.

    In competitive exams photo in "true color" format.... How to do it in adobe photoshop>>> please replay it.....

    Mayuk, you are not making any sense here.
    True color (24-bit)
    "True Color" redirects here. For images with natural color rendition, see true-color.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Truecolor.png 24 bits (16,777,216 colors, "truecolor")
    True color supports 24-bit for three RGB colors. It provides a method of representing and storing graphical-image information (especially in computer processing) in an RGB color space such that a very large number of colors, shades, and hues can be displayed in an image, such as in high-quality photographic images or complex graphics. Usually, true color is defined to mean 256 shades of red, green, and blue, for a total of 224 or 16,777,216 color variations. The human eye can discriminate up to ten million colors.[13]
     Color images composed from 3 grayscale images A, B & C assigned to R,G & B in different orders.
    "True color" can also refer to an RGB display-mode that does not need a color look-up table (CLUT).
    For each pixel, generally one byte is used for each channel while the fourth byte (if present) is being used either as an alpha channel, data, or simply ignored. Byte order is usually either RGB or BGR. Some systems exist with more than 8 bits per channel, and these are often also referred to as true color (for example a 48-bit true-color scanner).
    Even with true color, monochromatic images, which are restricted to 256 levels, owing to their single channel, can sometimes still reveal visible banding artifacts.
    True color, like other RGB color models, cannot express colors outside of the gamut of its RGB color space (generally sRGB).
    Macintosh systems refer to 24-bit color as "millions of colors".
    RGBA color space, or 32-bit color, is a variant of true color in which the additional 8-bit is allocated to transparency and indicates how transparent is the element to which the color is assigned, when overlaid on other elements.

  • Connecting the canon SX50 to HDTV for video playback???

    Connecting the canon SX50 to HDTV for video playback???
    ok, Got this Camera, like it, except for a few confusing issues. I was told, in order to playback HD video onto my HDTV Samsung, with an HDMI4 on the left side of the TV, all I needed was a HDMI to HDMI cable.
     (#1) Shut off both TV and camera, plug the cable into this HDMI plugin, turn on the TV and Camera power supply, and it should recognize, then start paying.
    Well, I did it both ways, (#1) shut off,then turn on, and (#2) I just inserted the camera's HDMI to the HDMI4 while both were on, and tried opening up the Samsung's' Tools >Inputs, etc, and still nothing!
    Is there an easy way to accomplish this?
    The second issue i'm having , is how to shut off the slow motion playback, when viewing the videos, which were not recorded in slow--mo, and it's frustrating trying to playback in normal speed, but instead it plays in slow-mo.
    I'm not quite sure I'm recording in full HD...The payback is only 60i

    Thanks grazie!
    Well, i accomplished most of that and at least got the video on the display (Samsung Anynet HDMI3) But no sound!
    I was also able to control the SX50 TV Display with my samsung remote, kool.
    As far as the playbgack volume, I checked the camera, I did notice the OPERATIONAL SOUND was off, but when I played back the video on the camera itself, i did have volume.
    On that subject of Slow motion videos, if i'm watching each video, then see one playing back in slow-motion, does that mean i actually filmed it in slow motion, without knowing? ( i can send it through Pinnacle Studio 15HD and speed it back up, but theres no background volume anyway)  if i did unknowingly videotaped in slow motion, i bettter be more observant in the future.
    I'm going to increase that ''Operational sound'' on the tools / Camera and try to playback to see if I have any sound.
    I have a Yamaha 7.1 reciever, and TV, BD player,Time-Warner cable all is connected to this receiver....I was pushing all buttons for inputs to see which one would work for sound with video, but could not find any.  Thanks, or grazie grazie!

    This is a thread that discusses your problem.
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/12a17fa5-ddab-4480-8973-1a13bfb2e8fd/need-more-than-16bit-color-depth-on-windows-xp-mode?forum=w7itprovirt
    Your app is probably calling for 32-bit color, and XP Mode with
    integration features doesn't support that.  There's 3 ways around it. 
    one, is to enable remote desktop in XP Mode and connect to the VM with
    remote desktop.
    2nd is to turn off the integration features and then you can set the XP
    Mode desktop to 1024x7687 and 32-bit color
    and 3rd, if you app supports 24-bit color, there's a registry hack to do
    it.  It's in the thread I posted above.

  • Can I sample a layer's "true" color despite its opacity and blend mode?

    I'm doing some painting with a lot of layers set to different blend modes.  I find that every time I want to paint on one of these layers, I have to go to that layer, set the opacity back to 100, change the blend mode back to "normal" sample the color, then change everything back and continue painting.  I realize I can save a swatch for the color, but it can get confusing when you're using subtle color differences on multiple layers.  It seems like there should be a modifier key to the tool that samples the layers "true" color discarding opacity and blend mode.  Does this exist?  Thanks!

    Perfect!  This is exactly what I'm looking for chris....I don't suppose there's any way to toggle the tool's "current layer/all layers" functionality on the fly so i don't have to go to the tool and select which mode I"m in each time is there?  I usually access this tool by just hitting "option" while using a brush.  Would be cool if i could set "Option + shift" to use the eyedropper in "current layer" mode.  Thanks for the speedy reply!

  • JAI - Saved image has black background (unless screen config is True Color)

    Hi!
    I'm trying to save images using JAI's codecs. Everything is okay if screen config is True Color, but if in 256 colors (or even in 65536 colors) the background of my images looks very dark...
    Can you please have a look at the code bellow (and try it with some different screen configs). I'm really stuck with that issue; any suggestion may help...
    NOTE:
    - I've noticed this problem when using JAI's jpeg codec.
    - The problem occurs with both JDK 1.3 and 1.4.
    - The problem does not occur (only) if screen config is True Color.
    - You must rerun the code after changing screen config.

  • Display true color picture

    Dear Sir,
    I'm using the read JPEG.vi and Draw Flattened Pixmap.vi to read a jpeg picture. The picture output of the Draw Flattened Pixmap.vi is connect to the Picture Indicator.
    However when I load a true-color picture on the Linux, I found that the picture was in 256 color only. So, I would like to know what is my problem?
    Or, could you give me a suggestion to do this process on linux. Actually, I would like to read the jpeg pictures on Linux just like a picture viewer.
    Also I'm sorry to ask another question maybe off this topic.
    I have a problem in displaying the unicode fonts on labview under Linux OS, such as Chinese characters.
    I would like to ask when can labview support unicode fonts display?
    Thanks
    for any help
    Eric

    Eric,
    I *believe* I have heard of people being able to display 24-bit images in LabVIEW before...I think there is a display setting in Linux somewhere that specifies the default color depth for displaying pictures...I don't know much about Linux...you may want to double-check with a Linux expert to see if this indeed the case.
    As for Unicode support, I believe the next version of LabVIEW will support Unicode fonts.
    I hope this information helps. Good luck, and have a pleasant day.

    I was told by Bradshaw, the online Adobe Chat Rep, that PSE 11 would fix the problem I have in PSE10 of editing Canon SX50 HS Raw files.  I also read on DPReview site that I could download and Install ACR 7.3 and it would fix the issue in PSE 11.  It won't install.  Anybody got and answer to this challenge.

    Your camera gets support in version 7.3 which is out of beta testing and now available as a release candidate. You may want to wait for the final version of camera raw 7.3 which will be available shortly. Alternatively download the release candidate now but make a note to update when the final version is released.

  • Dell XPS 15 Color Management Problem with "True Color"

    I recently purchased a Dell XPS 15 (6845slv).  Overall I have very happy with it...but have been getting frustrated with color management issues and was hoping to get some advice.
    Intermittently, the display had been changing the color scheme (to a suboptimal scheme).  It lasted for anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes and then returned to the original (and more normal appearing) color settings.  It did not seem to happen while running any particular applications.  All drivers are up-to-date.
    I turned off the dell application "True Color" which I thought may have been making automatic adjustments to the color scheme and since turning it off the issue hasn't happened again.  However now I'm concerned that by inactivating that software, that I may not be maximizing the potential of the high quality HD display.  And now--though maybe it's in my head--the colors seem to be a little flatter since turning off True Color.
    Does anyone have any suggestions for getting the most out of the display? Has anyone had similar issues with True Color?  Any advice would be appreciated.
    Thanks for your help.

    I ended up fully uninstalling it from programs and features...I haven't had the problem since.  I've been happy with the display since making this change.
