Color changes when images are imported

I read the answer provided earlier by Ian but the reply left one aspect unanswered. Is there any way to turn off that feature and have LR use the info provided by the camera. I generally MUCH prefer what I see before LR works it over.

Geoff, Leejay, you miss the point.
LR has big problems converting pictures that have the certain characteristics.
In this case (and only this that I have noticed) it is when shot with strong red/and or warmer color temperatures.
It happens with the Eos-1 family and Eos-5.
It happens (for me) when shot with the said halogen/tungsten (3600k) lights.
It happens when you try to maintain the the warm tone.
It happens when you shoot raw.
The picture quality is "fine" if you colorcorrect the picture to neutral,but the point is, I dont want to do that.
Phase one and DPP programs does not have problems with such lighting,they both render the tones just right.
The problem with LR is that I can not acchieve the same results with the inboard engine!
No matter what tweaking and tinkering, the image just degrades and falls apart.
Same if you shoot with stronger colored lights,especially in the red spectrum.
The reason why this IS an issue for me (and 2 other studios that I know well) is that tungsten lights (arris) are used a LOT in fashion photography. The tones achieved with the DPP and PhaseOne are extremely close to what Kodak´s 400X used produce back in the film time, that beloved film..
Now the photographers and ADs want to reproduce the same tones,and with LR it´s seems to be impossible.
Now we have to port a another program in the workflow just to produce the desired results.
Wich is PITA.
So,in my view,with all respect Geoff and Leejay,stop being such a bloody apologists.
The problem lies,as I see it, in the LR engine,wich could need some tweaking in that area.
Otherwise, and with other lights (be it HMI,Kinoflos,flashes) that program is extremely good.
Or do you suggest that the program is perfect?

  • Lightroom CC isn't including color labels when images are imported

    I've tried this several times, but it doesn't work. Lightroom CC will import metadata and even star ratings, but it won't import the color label data assigned to the images from within Bridge. How can I get that information to be imported?
    In other words, working in Bridge CC I assigned star ratings and color labels to a folder full of JPG files. When I import those files into Lightroom CC, the images, metadata and the star ratings are imported, but no color label data was imported. None of the images have color labels when viewed in LR. They still retain the color labels when I view the files in Bridge CC, but they don't appear in LR.

    I just struggled with this for an hour. Any changes made to labels inside Lightroom 5 didn't show up in Bridge CC after reading metadata from file, and imports into LR5 did not properly show Bridge CC's label colors. Instead, only a tiny white rectangle at the bottom right of each labeled thumbnail showed in LR5.
    Finally figured it out. In the Lightroom 5 file menu up top, go to:
    Metadata --> Color Label Set --> Bridge Default (select this option)
    'Lightroom Default' was previously selected in mine, as I suspect all Lightroom 5 installs are initially.
    Make sure that the names beside each color are identical in both Bridge & LR, or you will still have syncing problems.
    This should fix your problem!

  • Why does the Date Created metadata change when images are exported?How do I stop it from changing?

    why does the Date Created metadata change when images are exported?  How do I stop it from changing? I must have a prefernce set up wrong.

    I don't know what OS you are using, or what application you are using to view the data about your exported files, but on Windows and using Windows Explorer the "Date Created" field relates only to the date that the exported file was created, i.e. if viewed immediately after export it will show the date created as being the same date. In order to view "Capture Date" in something like Explorer, you first have to ensure you have included the Metadata as Conrad outlined above, then you have to adjust the display properties of Explorer to show the "Date Taken" field. Here is an example, part of a folder I exported back on March 3rd, note the difference between that last two dates:

  • Keeping Photoshop Raw Image Adjustments When Images Are Imported

    I've got a bunch of raw images that have been adjusted in Photoshop. When these raw images are imported into Aperture, all the data stored in the .xmp files are stripped out, meaning the raw files are imported without any adjustments. Is there a way to import raw images so they retain the adjustments that have been made in Photoshop? I hope so. The idea of importing all my raw files into Aperture and having to readjust every single image is unthinkable.

    With all due respect, I do "want" desperately to be able to use Aperture as a RAW converter-good workflow.
    Sure... different meanings of "want". I "want" Aperture to be usable for that, but in its present state, you don't "want" to use it, because it's not very good at it. I tried a number of different pictures; it ranges from "okay" to "astoundingly bad", depending on the subject matter. In no case does it approach Adobe Camera Raw in quality; but it is not hideous in all cases.
    Take a bunch of your own pictures and burn them to a CD, both RAW files and edited versions. Bring the CD to an Apple Store, sit down, and have a go at Aperture. In my case, it was the final thing that saved me the money of buying the software.
    As a "better iPhoto" I think it's a winner. But it is, by no stretch of the imagination, a "professional" photography application. If it were a $50 replacement for iPhoto I'd probably have already bought it. It could be useful from an organization standpoint -- except for the fact that it can't read many of my Photoshop PSD files at all since they are in LAB color mode.

  • Settings added when when images are imported

    When I import images into Lightroom3 the images have already been tweaked.  How do I turn off the setting as the images are imported?  Second, when I attempt to send images to Photoshop for editing Lightroom makes a copy, how can I stop this fom happening?

    Two things to avoid that LR applies "tweaking" on import.
    1) Make sure that the <Apply Auto-tone adjustments> box is unchecked. You find it under <Preferences> in the <Presets tab>.
    2) In the Import Dialog on the right hand side, in the panel <Apply During Import>, make sure that <Develop Settings> shows <None>.
    There is no way to avoid making a copy when you open a RAW-file in PS. PS can not save a file as a true RAW-file; there is a Photoshop-RAW but that is not a true RAW-file like the one that your camera creates.Since PS can save your edits only in a different format than true RAW, by necessity a copy has to be made.
    If you have JPG's in LR (or TIFFs or PSD's) and want to edit them in PS, you can choose <Open Original> and then no copy is made. But when you open these as <Edit a Copy with LR Adjustments> then again a copy is made.

  • Rules applied to multiple cells trigger color changes when any of the cells

    "Rules applied to multiple cells trigger color changes when any of the cells meet the rule’s condition." That's what Help says, but when I follow the directions, it doesn't work. This is in Numbers 08.
    I have a table where the contents of one column are either "YES" or "NO", depending on formulas using variables from other cells. If YES, I want the fill of that cell and that of two adjacent cells to change from white to green. I select all three cells and use conditional format rules for "text contains:" YES, then choose my fill color. When I return to the table and introduce values for the variables that trigger the rule, only the cell in the YES/NO column changes to green; the other two remain white.
    While I am spreadsheet challenged, I usually can follow directions as plain as those in Help, but it's not working. I couldn't find anything in the discussions after an hour of searching. Is this a known problem or am I just stupid?

    For what it's worth, that's the way I read that line in the User Guide as well. What it actually appears to mean, though is 'Rules applied to multiple cells apply independently to each of the cells."
    Here's a workaround for your three adjacent columns. Long, but fairly simple steps.
    Add a second table to the sheet (Table 2).
    Resize the second table to one column wide and as many rows as you want to apply the conditional format to.
    Set the width of the column to the same width as the three columns you want to highlight, and the row height(s) to match the rows.
    Format to table to have NO Header or Footer row or column.
    Use the Wrap Inspector to uncheck "Object causes wrap"
    In the first top cell of Table 2, enter an = sign, then Click on Table 1 in the sidebar, Click on the first cell that will hold YES or NO.
    Fill the formula down the rest of Table 2.
    With all cells in Table 2 selected, use the Cell Format inspector to set the 'text contains yes' rule and the conditional fill colour for these cells.
    Test the conditional formating by introducing values into Table 1.
    Click on Table 1 in the sidebar, then use the Table inspector to set Cell Fill to 'none'.
    Click on Table 2 in the sidebar, then drag that table onto table 1 aligning it to cover the cells in which the conditional formating is to appear.
    When positioned (and still selected), go to the Arrange menu and Send Backward to move Table 2 behind the (transparent) cells in Table 1.
    With Table 2 still selected, click on the Cell Borders color well and set the Opacity of the borders to 0%.
    Click the Text inspector and set the Text colour Opacity for Table 2 to 0%.

  • Img alt="text" not displayed when images are turned off in Safari

    I have tried to search this, but every search has returned too many posts, so I apologize in advance.
    Have I made some error or is there an issue with my Safari? For some reason my Safari does not display alt="text" when images are turned off?
    This is what is supposed to happen (see http://www.w3schools.com/tags/attimgalt.asp) and it works fine in my other browsers (Opera, FF), but with Safari I get nothing - no image, no alt text, no indiciation that an image is supposed to be in that place. According to w3c, Safari is supposed to be compliant.
    There is no problem with the site itself, I am designing the site and test with and without images to see how it degrades. As I said, it works properly in Opera and FF - the alt="text" text is displayed in place of the image - but not in Safari.
    Is this just my Safari? How do I fix this if it is?
    Is it Safari in general? If so, how do we get it fixed, because this is clearly just not correct?

    It's not just you. I see the same thing in my Safari. It appears to be a Safari problem, in which case the best thing to do is submit feedback to Apple's developers via the Mac OS X feedback form. (You will not receive a response, as that page notes, but the feedback will get to the people who can use it.)

  • Color change when opening in Reader

    Hi, I created a PDF in Photoshop. I then added an editable field in Acrobat, using the same RGBs. When I open the file in Reader, the color of the editable field does not match. Any suggestions on what I can do to resolve this?  I have the most recent version of Acrobat and Reader.
    Thanks,

    Here is a screen shot of the reader PDF, followed by the original file in Acrobat. You can see that the entire document color changed when I opened it in Reader.

  • Color change when transferring image from Photoshop to After Effects

    Hi everyone,
    I am trying to import a logo from photoshop CS6 to After Effects CS6, however the black color within the image changes to a dark grey when it gets into AE. I noticed on the color picker in PS that it changes to the same grey color that is used as the replacement web safe color. Therefore I'm assuming AE is just converting everything into web safe colors.
    Is there something I need to change in AE to allow me to import the image and keep all the original non web safe photoshop colors?
    Sorry if this is a very basic question thats been answered before, I couldn't seem to find the answer within these forums.
    Many thanks in advance,
    Spencer

    This has nothing to do with web safe. You are making a mess of color management/ color profiles. You have soemthing enabled in PS and since AE by default doesn't use any color managemnt and just assumes plain sRGB, the colors change. There's no easy explanations here, but you have soem reading up to do about color management in general and also specifically how Photoshop corrects for monitor profiles and how to use the Proof Preview to compensate for that or how to establish a workflwo that mimicsa AE's "unmanaged" colorspace.

  • Color Changes When Importing onto Another Computer

    I'm not sure if this is an Illustrator issue, but since I'm using Illustrator, I'm hoping maybe someone can help.
    I made a graphic in Illustrator that I exported. I then put that on a flash drive, took it to another computer, and imported it into software called Lectora (not Adobe related). However, my colors changed greatly. The orange wasn't too bad, but the purple is a huge difference. My company has specific colors, so it's a huge deal to make it the correct shade of purple.
    I don't think it's the software because if you open the graphic on the computer in general, the colors are different. I tried on a third computer, and the colors are still different, so that brings me back to some setting on my original computer.When I open the graphic on my computer outside of Adobe, the colors are what I want.
    The document is RGB, 72ppi. I tried exporting as png, tif, jpeg, bmp, gif (transferred to photoshop), 72ppi, 300ppi, etc.
    Also if it matters, from my original computer to the printer, it prints the different shade of purple rather than what i see on my screen.

    Carla,
    There may be differences in the colours on the different (and possibly differently calibrated) monitors (and between different applications).
    There is probably a significant difference in colours between RGB and CMYK; unless you are using a non PostScript printer (driver), the printer needs CMYK; you should create the CMYK colours by creating a version (the basic print version) in CMYK Color Mode.
    Normally, if you want to make sure that you can print the colours in CMYK, you should start with CMYK.
    Obviously, if the intended (main) use is for screen/web and the print is only secondary, you may work in RGB and live with the colour differences in print; or you may use a (non PostScript) printer with more inks.
    Yet another option is to use spot colours, but that is a further complication.
    Have you used colour management?
    You may start reading the basics here (the articles also apply to Illy, though written for PS).

  • Why does the color change when I open a warm image in Photoshop CS6?

    Whenever I open a warm color image in Photoshop CS6, the color of the image automatically changes? Please see the attached screenshots below.
    What is the solution to this problem? Please Help.
    I use Windows 7 Ultimate. Photoshop CS6.
    Graphics Card: Intel HD Graphics 2000

    There is no "problem" to "fix". A raw file is just the data captured by the sensor, not yet an image. To produce a useful image it needs to be processed in a raw converter, either automatically in-camera or with a standalone converter (ACR).
    The camera LCD shows you an in-camera processed jpeg, according to the camera manufacturer's idea of how the raw data should be interpreted. There is nothing inherently "correct" about this, and a lot of the original data have been thrown away in the process.
    ACR doesn't make any assumptions about how the final image should look. It shows you a neutral starting point, with default settings to preserve as much of the original data as possible. The rest is up to you. You're not supposed to just accept the defaults. The sliders are there for a reason.
    You can change the ACR defaults at any time if you come up with settings that are more to your taste.

  • Why are my colors changing when copy and paste a graphic from docA to docB both in illustrator?

    Both documents in Illustrator CC are RGB and I'm trying to copy a logo onto a template, but the color of the logo completely changes when I copy and paste it into the template. The logo has three different pinks and they turn red when pasted. There is no graphic styling and the logo is all gradient.

    What is weird is that we get a lot of logos from the same company and we put it on shirt templates so they can see size wise on how it would look on shirts. It's happened with other logos, but very slightly. I asked my co-worker who sends me the logos what version she uses and she also uses CC but does not know what version the other company uses. To them, it doesn't matter if the logo colors get altered, they have the PMS colors to work off of for screen printing. I just want to make sure that if another company sends us logos with PMS colors, we will know how to fix it.
