Cinestyle Colour Profile For iPhone 6 Video

Hi !
I'm a pro photographer and just started playing with the iPhone 6 video ... it's amazing.
However, I find the colours and contrast too punchy and severe - so the video files it creates are not great to edit and grade in Final Cut Pro X.
Does anyone know if it's possible to use a 'Technicolor Cinestyle' type colour profile in the phone when shooting to change the look ?
If not, is there any way to increase the dynamic range and lower contrast ? Or is there any video app that would do this whilst shooting ?
Bit of a long shot i know, but any thoughts would be helpful ...
Thanks !

You can post a video to YouTube, but I don't think it's necessary. I believe you.
I found only one other recent post like yours and it has no responses: After iOS 8, no sound when playing video taken from the back camera..
Just curious if you have the same problem using the front and back camera when recording?
I don't think it's a universal issue so you might try another reset. Other than that, I think a restore would be the next step. Could be that your installation got flubbed.

Do I need to set AI colour profiles for use in ID?

My previous set up:
Mac
CS2 (Illustrator, Photoshop, Bridge)
Quark XPress 7
My new set up:
PC (Win 7)
CS5 (Illustrator, Photoshop, Bridge, InDesign)
My problem:
I work for a company that prints newspapers, but my dept also does work for glossy sheetfed printers (magazines leaflets etc)
All my work is exclusively CMYK.
With my previous set up - I didn’t want to have to switch my colour profiles via Bridge as I was constantly juggling two types of jobs:
Our tabloid press - Profile - ISOnewspaper26v4 (CMYK)
Sheetfed Printers - Profile - ISO Coated V2 (Fogra 39) (CMYK)
So I set my CS2 Suite colour settings to ISO Coated V2 (Fogra 39) and set an action in Photoshop to convert jpegs / eps photos to ISOnewspaper26v4.
So my CS2 working space was set for Sheetfed glossy publications and if I wanted to set a picture to the correct profile for newsprint I just had to open the picture and hit the action that applied the ISOnewspaper26v4 profile.
Regarding Quark – I set up separate templates for each type of job:
One for Profile - ISO Coated V2 (Fogra 39) and one for - Profile - ISOnewspaper26v4.
Regarding Illustrator - I found that Quark 7 didn’t differentiate between Illustrator colour profiles, or if it did, it didn’t show up in ‘Usage’.
If I went to Quark Usage and went to ‘Profiles’ it only listed the Quark profile and any Photoshop profiles, not any Illustrator profiles.
So in Illustrator I just set colour profiles to ‘do not colour manage this document’. So that I only had to worry about changing profiles for Photoshop jpegs / eps’s.
So I had a good little system going that served me well and now my company decided to move us to PC’s and CS5; and I still have the same problem – juggling newsprint jobs and glossy magazine jobs and not wanting to have to synchronise my CS suite colour settings every time I switch between jobs...
So I was hoping to stick with my little system on PC / CS5.
So basically my question is, do I need to worry about Illustrator colour profiles if I am bringing Illustrator files into InDesign? (To clarify, my Illustrator files are always pure vector, so there is no chance of some rogue RGB jpeg sneaking through on a Illustrator file)
Im open to suggestions regarding my set up, but really would prefer not to have to keep switching my colour profiles.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

First, I wasn't suggesting that your PDFs be exported to RGB, but it is a common workflow these days to keep photos in RGB until you convert them to the correct profile during the export process. This maximizes the potential for re-purposing your documents and allows you to use the same RGB photos for different output purposes without having to do separate CMYK conversions for each destination, so long as you don't need to do any tweaking after the conversion.
And to answer your question, if the .ai files have no embedded color profile they will ALWAYS be considered to use whatever the CMYK working space is in your ID file, so the numbers will be preserved. This means that there will be slight differences in color on output on different devices (the whole point of color management, after all, is to preserve the appearance of colors by altering the numbers for the output device).
Does the vector work you get from Thinstock come with an embedded profile? Is there any color that is critical for matching, such as a corporate color (which should be spot, but that's a different discussion), or do you use the same art in both the newspaper and magazine, and does the client expect a match (which we know isn't going to happen anyway)?
If there's no embedded profile when you start, there's no way to know what the color was supposed to look like, so color management is not possible, really. You can assign a profile, but you'd be guessing. Since the correct appearance at that point is unknown continuing with out color management shouldn't present a problem. The only case where you would need to manage the vector art would be if the color APPEARANCE is critical or you need it to match across different outputs, and in that case you would need to assign a profile and allow ID to preserve the profile on import and remap the numbers, which means you would likely get rich blacks someplace. Since it's unlikely that you can get a good match going from glossy to newsprint, I probably wouldn't even try -- you wouldn't want, for example, to tag the art as newsprint, and have it print subdued on the gloss if it would look better or more correct with the other profile. Color management would be much more useful if you were going from sheetfed to web on the same stock.

Profile for iPhone

Hi,
I am new to Device Central, so I may not understand the App
very well - but I can't seem to find a profile for the iPhone -
which, given its popularity, is strange to me.
Is this because iPhone doesn't support Flash? At least that's
the impression I get on the Developer section
http://developer.apple.com/iphone/devcenter/designingcontent.html">linkforfor[/L]
the iPhone and on an Adobe reply on a non-related subject.
Still, I'd like to see what a site that I design in
Photoshop/Dreamweaver CS3 look like on the iPhone.

I'm not the best expert to ask but this works well - hope it helps

Native Colour Profile for OS X

Does anyone know of a colour profile I can use in OS X lion that passes through the raw RGB values to the monitor like Windows does? None of the colour profiles that come with Lion, Adobe's suite or my monitor pass through the native RGB values of what's on-screen. For an example of what I mean by native colour profile, if I set the RGB colour value #45f4d3 in Photoshop or in CSS for a web page, I want the value #45f4d3 sent to my monitor, rather than some slight offset of that.
In other words, I want a colour profile that mimicks colour profiles being turned off completely (which I don't believe is possible under OS X; I will never understand why).
Thanks,
Tom

It has absolutely nothing to do with whether my monitor is calibrated or not. I want the RGB values encoded in my non-colour managed images and in my website stylesheets to be sent to the monitor as they are, without being altered by a colour profile.
To see what I mean yourself, go to the following web page: http://html-color-codes.info/#insertcolor (you can use any website colour picker, as long as it displayed RGB values and is driven by CSS).
In the colour picker, choose a colour, then launch the "DigitalColor Meter" app that comes with OS X and set the drop-down to "Display native colors". Compare the RGB values reported by the colour picker on the website with those reported by the digital color meter. If they're different (which I'm betting they are) then that's the problem I'm trying to resolve.
My end goal is simply to make the colour of my Mac be the exact same as it is on Windows, which basically means I want my Mac to pass the raw/native colour values to my monitor. Seeing as though I can't simply turn colour profiles off, I need a dumb colour profile that emulates this.

Best Streamclip settings for iPhone 4 Video - to edit in FCE

First, the problem: iPhone 4 records HD video in h.264. But Final Cut Express doesn't have sequence settings for editing h.264 or iPhone video clips.
The solution: I'm using Streamclip to convert all of my iPhone 4 videos to a format FCE lets me edit in.
Question: What are the optimal settings to insure that my final output retains quality almost equal to the original video shot on my iPhone? (More specifically, I plan on uploading to Youtube as a HD video).
I've read somewhere that I should convert to Quicktime Movie format, with Apple Intermediate Codec 720p 30fps. Is that the best compression type to convert to for editing iPhone 4 videos in FCE? If so, how should the other settings in streamclip be jiggered? For instance, does it make much difference if I set the Quality slider to 100% (As opposed to the default at 50%?) What about audio compression settings?
(P.S. I think it's very annoying that I can't directly edit a video from iPhone 4 on another consumer Apple product, the FCE. Does FCP let me directly edit h.264/iphone 4 videos?)

The slider makes no difference as AIC is variable bit rate within a specific range. No audio compression in FCE ever. Uncompressed stereo 48k, the video standard sample rate.
It would be truly miraculous if FCE worked with iPhone media as the current version predates it by three years, which in computer lifetimes is two generations, basically the equivalent of your grandfather having developed an app for a smartphone when he was a young man. FCP is a mere year old, well before the iPhone did video. Furthermore, if you'd read the forums, you'd see that H.264 is an acquisition and delivery forward. It is not used in production. The codec is not suitable for efficient production and really should never be used there. It's very unfortunate that camera manufacturers have taken the cheap way out and used this codec, rather than actually developing and using a suitable intraframe production codec.

Accurate colour profile for Canon 40D?

Hi all,
I have an Canon 40D but unfortunately my colour checker is not compatible with the new DNG Profile Editor (it's a PerfectPix Natural).
Has anyone here made a profile for the 40D using the Gretag colour checker that they'd be happy to share with me? I realise that your 40D may not replicate colours in exactly the same way as my camera, however it's got to be closer than any of my other profile options at the moment.
Thanks in advance,
James
PS... I hope this request isn't inappopriate, the user to user forum for Camera Raw seemed like the best place.

Hi David/Eric,
I understand what you mean about the contrast, however I am comfortable that my images are exposed correctly on the whole. I guess it's just very hard to quantify, and very hard to prove, where my images are not "right" colour wise.
I also realise that white balance plays a major role in this type of subjective comparison... The issue I'm finding is that when I am flicking between profiles for an image there are times I just can't find anything that's right.
Maybe the biggest issue, at least in part, is perception. When analyzing an example image I've seen the following behaviour for each profile:
- Camera Standard is probably best, but while on this example it's okay, in some images it's over-saturated.
- Adobe Standard is close, probably slightly too green.
- ACR 4.4 is up there too, best in some cases but can have issues with skin tones.
- Camera Faithful is next on the list but tends to look flat and lifeless (even though no change other than profile).
- Camera Portrait makes faces too pink and skies too blue. In general it seems to over-saturate.
- Camera Landscape makes faces look pretty good, but skies and landscapes are WAY over saturated.
- Camera Neutral looks relatively good colour wise but has no contrast and looks under saturated.
The problem is, in this one example they've behaved in a certain way. In another example (even one where I've manually white balanced) they'll behave differently... suddenly Camera Standard will look terrible and ACR4.4 will look the best... or Adobe Standard.
I guess the issue is I'm just not confident that LR is reproducing the colours that the camera saw... but only because I don't think the profile is right. Once I know that the profile is right (and whether I'm being silly or not, I would be satisfied that Joe Blog's 40D is going to be almost identical to my 40D) then I'll know that the faces look a little red because I've got my white balance wrong. Right now there are three that are "close" to what I saw, but I'm not confident that any of them are spot on.
I hope this makes sense. I'm not attempting to be difficult, to be honest I figured that the creation of the Profile Editor would lead to a proliferation of downloadable camera profiles that were supposedly "colourmetrically accurate" for each camera... maybe I'm just a little quick on the bandwagon.
Cheers,
James
PS. I realise that colour gamut of the monitor plays into this also, but I am assuming that if I can SEE that the colours are too saturated then I'm not exceeding the gamut... I guess it's possible that my "washed out" profile Camera Faithful is exceeding the gamut and subsequently doesn't look very good?

New Sequence Settings for iPhone 4 Video?

Hey everyone! I looked through the CS4 forum and didn't find an answer to this question, so thought I would post it here.
I am using Premiere Pro CS4. I have taken HD video using my iPhone 4 (1280x720, 29 fps, data rate 11011kbps, etc). I want to splice together a series of these short videos, but am unsure of how to keep the HD picture quality when I export to a new *.avi file. Each time I export to an avi my resolution and picture quality drop considerably. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to keep the 720p quality? I am sure my problem is the wrong video preset (I've tried HDV 720p30 and HDV 1080p30 without luck). Any suggestions here would be appreciated!

Now, if you will wish to create DVD-Video, then you might wish to consider maybe two different Exports. One for other playback, and then look at down-rezzing for SD/DVD-Video playback. This ARTICLE should give you some tips on HD to SD.
Good luck,
Hunt

Colour profile for Epson printer

When printing from Elements 9, which ICC colour profile should I use with my Epson PX720WD printer?

Yes that should work as long as you keep all the settings consistent throughout the entire workflow. Also make sure you haven’t set “No Color Management” from the Editor menu:

Cable for iphone 4 video to tv

I can not get anything but audio when I hook iphone 4 to tv using Apple video cable?? What's the trick?

I have both the composite cable from Apple and also the component cable from Apple. With the original 4.0 software fresh from the ATT store, my iMovie videos that I shot and recorded on my iPhone could play out to my Samsung HD television using the component cables while running the iMovie app.
After the iPhone 4.0.1 update, I can no longer see the video, only hear the audio. Very disappointing.
I have mixed results when using playing the movies on my iPhone that I have in iTunes.
Anyone else have this recent trouble??

ITunes suddenly using old/wrong profile for iPhone?

This happened about a week ago, but I wanted know if I'm the ony one.
When I went to sync my iPhone I launched iTunes and it found my iPhone via WiFi. I noticed that it said my contents were overloaded by several gigs, and my app bar was much larger than normal. I cancelled the sync and looked at my iPhone; about 2 and a half screens worth of old apps were waiting to install. I was able to stop them by removing them in the app tab in iTunes after reconnecting my iPhone. Afterwords I noticed my iBooks were all messed up -- missing books and books from my library I did not want on my iPhone. I spent an evening getting that resolved. Then I noticed that my music playlists were also messed up in a similar way; it turned out that all of my selections under albums, artists and genres had been deselected. Today I noticed that several of my ringtones are missing, so I'll have to resolve that when I get home. Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone know what could have caused it?

If there is a problem with the backup, transferring the backup will also transfer the problem.
When connecting a new iPhone to iTunes on a computer used to sync with another iPhone, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone to the new iPhone, or set up the new iPhone as a new iPhone or do not transfer the backup. Choose the latter.

'Docked profile' for iphone

Is it possible to disable the automatic sleep functionality of the iphone when it is connected to a computer or other dock device? I can't find any information about this online, but it seems like an extremely obvious feature.

You will have to do this manually, going to settings/general/auto-lock->off
and you can suggest this feature to Apple here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

Change colour profile on export of jpeg for using files on windows pc

My father, who is 80, has a mac and aperture.
He is reasonable proficient using it, but as a windows user myself I'm unsure of the in's and out's of things and it always falls on me to help him when he has a problem.
He also has a windows computer, which he has a programme on for making calenders.
The problem we have is that when he saves his photo's after editing in aperture to a dvd, he puts this dvd into his windows pc and he cannot see any of the previews.
On opening up any picture in photoshop on the pc, it asks if he wants to use the embedded colour profile or change it.
I'm wondering if Aperture is exporting using a certain profile which windows cannot read? Thus doesn't show the preview.
He needs the preview to pick which pictures he wants to use on the calender.
He then stores all his pictures on the dvd.
I'm pretty sure he shoots as jpegs, not raw. Though I need to ask him.
He has several different cameras, and I think he has trouble with all of them. I'm pretty sure one is a nikon d5300 (I just googled red body nikon)
Is there a colour profile for aperture when saving as a jpeg that is compatible with windows?
It's a hundred mile round trip to visit and to then sit down and try to work it out by trial and error would take some time.
So if I can find an answer and call on the phone to tell him what to do, it'd save me a lot of time
I'm not sure what Mac he has, what OS he's using or which version of Aperture, he only recently bought it, so guess at the latest one.......... I know I'm a great help !!!!!
I can find out if needed, but thought there might be an easy fix....... I know, whenever is there an easy fix for anything!!!
Cheers,
Graham

There is no standard for a 'Preview'. It's a feature of the software that is opening a file as to how it shows those files to the user for selection. Some software will look in the file header for a thumbnail, some will use the files associated icon (if it has one) and some will just present a list of file names. I seriously doubt changing the colour profile output by Aperture will have any impact on this.
Although Aperture doesn't have a calendar feature, iPhoto does and as of the last year or so, Aperture has an option to open it's library in iPhoto. So if he has a current enough version of Aperture and iPhoto, he could avoid the issue altogether if he is happy to switch into iPhoto to make the Calendar.
If he wasn't using DVD (say a USB thumbdrive instead) he could run a utility on the PC to create icons for the files where the icon is a thumbnail of the picture, which the calendar software might then use when prompting for images to load. But the use of DVD complicates this, as it depends on the DVD drivers and file systems in use on the DVD.

Colour management profile for LaserJet 2200 printer?

I am reasonably familiar with the basics of colour management. My monitor is calibrated, I use Epson's standard colour profiles for my Epson 3800 inkjet printer and what I see on the screen is more or less what I get out of this printer. However, I am having less success in controlling the printing on my HP LaserJet 2200 of monochrome images contained within an InDesign CS4 document.
The obvious answer would appear to be to use a purpose-designed printer profile for the HP LaserJet 2200 but, so far, I have failed to find a source for such a profile. Can anyone help?
David

When you save a grayscale (if you save in grayscale mode and aren't just saving a completely desaturated or otherwise made to look like grayscale RGB or CMYK mode image) in Photoshop you should be saving with a grayscale profile like Dot Gain 30% of Gamma 2.2 or something else from the list. These profiles are designed to match printing conditions of various types or different types of monitors (and I'm not going to go into a lot of detail here).
Photoshop understands grayscale profiles, InDesign does not, so it looks at the numbers and says these are all black, so they belong in the black channel, and I'll put them in that channel in the current document CMYK working space. Different CMYK profiles behave a little differently when you print, but to be perfectly honest, I've never really investigated the consequences of choosing one over another for printing grayscale, because all the information is already black and I don't think assigning a new profile would change anything (though CONVERTING to a new profile might well take your grayscale and make it a 4-color image).
Dot gain is the amount of "spread" that happens to each halftone spot wne the ink is absorbed by the paper, and the number is usually defined as the amount of gain for a 50% dot. Dot gain causes images to print darker. For a classic illustration, think of using an eyedropper to drop a single drop of ink onto a sheet of tissue paper, and you'll get the idea. Coated papers usually have better ink "holdout" (they are less absorbent) than uncoated papers, and thus lower dot gain.
Laser printers don't use liquid ink, but they do have gain. The toner is melted and gets absorbed into the surface of the paper as it goes through the fuser which is what keeps it from falling off as a pile of dust.
So how do the prints look now, and what are the settings you are using in the print dialog?

Creating graphics for iPhone from Photoshop

Hi, I'm putting together my first App for the iPhone and I have a question when it comes to exporting my graphics from Photoshop. I have looked all over the web place and I can't find a direct answer, I hoped that someone might have an idea in here? It is more of a Photoshop question but directly relates to the iPhone so here goes.......
My psd has the embedded colour profile - CHROMiX iPhone Aug08 as I have been advised to use from the web. From here all I want to do is export the graphic. I am exporting as a PNG-24. The exported graphic is either slightly washed out or much much darker. As this is my first time in doing it I don't know which is right, nor do I know why I am getting two different results.
Any help? Please! I am going round in circles.

Hello, Andy and welcome to the Discussions.
I would suggest that you ask for assistance in the developer forums to which you have access as a member of Apple's iOS developer's program:
http://developer.apple.com/devforums/
You'll be much more likely to get assistance there, particularly with such a very specific issue. This forum is really for people using the iPhone rather than for people developing for it.
