Color differences from Mac to pc

How can I make sure my photos are the same from my Mac to a pc.? I just opened up my disc to view my clients photos on a pc and the color is way off. I edited them using Lightroom on my Mac.

The usual method is to calibrate the monitors on both systems, preferably using the same calibration device & settings.

  • Color difference from LR to PS CC

    I have the subscription for LR 5 & PS CC. When I send a photo from LR to PS for editing, the photo shows up lighter and more faded looking in PS than it was in LR. I need help to solve this problem. Thank you.

    If you have a difference between Lr and PS, you have a defective monitor profile. Recalibrate, or if you don't have a calibrator use sRGB IEC61966-2.1 for now, until you can get your hands on one.
    Choice of working color space doesn't matter. These applications are all fully color managed and whatever the source color space is, it gets properly converted to the monitor profile for display. Unless the profile is broken.
    Here's how to load sRGB as default monitor profile in Windows (replacing the broken one):

    Hi
    I have a problem with color prints from photoshop elements 12. The pictures are too light and with strange colors. I have a Canon pixma mg615I0 printer and use mac os X yosemite. The pictures are taken with a coanon eos 550d in the color space sRGB. I have followed adobes recommendations and have tried both letting the printer respektive photoshop manage the colors. But nothing works. I see that there are different opinions about which is best to do so I tried both. I have the latest printer driver installed. Can anyone help me with this?

    Do the following:
    Print a test page from the printer. Perhaps the print head needs cleaning via its maintenance facility.
    Let the printer manage colors, not PSE
    Calibrate the monitor

  • Why did the colors on my Mac Air go weird when I connected it to my projector after updating from SL to Mavericks?

    4 days ago, I updated my iOS on my Mac Air from SL to Mavericks. I connected it up with my projector to check on a keynote presentation I was preparing. The colors on my Mac went a strange greenish hue and this was accurately mirrored through the projector onto the screen. I tried to adjust the color setting in Displays and played around with different resolutions in the vain hope that something would fix it, but nothing did. There were all these new customized color adjustments you could do which I had never seen before. I have a MBP that I hadn't (fortunately) updated and went I connected it to my projector (with which I have never had any issues with before with my two Macs), there was absolutely no problem so I know it is very definitely an issue with Mavericks. In the end, in desperation as I do a lot of presentations and I can't afford to have this happening, I erased my hard drive and restored SL from Time Machine which I had fortunately done a back up just before doing the update. I had read in some previous threads here that restoring to a previous iOS is a long and complicated process but it was fortunately not the case for me - my Time Machine did it painlessly for me. My question is - I am now too afraid to try Mavericks again - but is there an explanation why this happened to my Mac Air?

    Check Settings > General > Cellular > Cellular Data and make sure it's "On".

  • I use my own color profiles from Photoshop CS6/Mac Pro - how do I turn of Epson Artisan 837 printer color management?

    I use my own color profiles from Photoshop CS6/Mac Pro - how do I turn of Epson Artisan 837 printer color management?

    Choose Photoshop Manages Color in the CS6 print dialogue. At the top, click the Print Settings button and disable any color management settings for the printer.
    Edit: Correction, that's CS6 in Snow Leopard. In Mountain Lion, if you check the print settings, color management for the printer should automatically be disabled when using Photoshop Manages Color.

  • Calibrating Color in Windows XP to view PDFs from Mac version of IDCS3

    I have a customer in another city and all of their staff, who work with me, use Windows XP on Dell desktops with Dell LCD flat displays.
    Four the past four years they have been happy with reviewing my designs as Review PDFs, exported from InDesign CS, CS2 and CS3, and initiated for review and comment with Acrobat 7 Professional. They have been satisfied with the color representation from viewing my PDFs on their screen, with free Adobe Reader, and they like the speed and cost cutting that results from not requiring a printed calibrated color proof to sign off on before going to press. When I export to PDF from InDesign, I make my Destination Profile "U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2" and I include the Destination Profile.
    Then I designed a poster for them that was mostly teal (a color between green and blue. They saw the color as medium blue on their screens and approved job to go to press. They were disappointed to find the final printed pieces looking teal.
    I know there is expensive third party calibration software out there but is there adequate color calibration for my non-technical customers using Windows XP on Dell LCD Displays?
    I use Apple CRT Displays an I use the OS X System Preferences/Displays dialog to set my color temperature to 65000 and my Gamma to 1.8 and then I use the slider controls to adjust for the ambient light in my office. The color I see on my monitor is the same color I get when my design projects come off the printing presses.
    Does Windows XP have software monitor controls to give the Dell workstations basic generic color calibration? Does XP let the user adjust the color temperature and Gamma settings?

    Thank you all for your advise.
    In the earlier part of this decade I required customers to sign off on a calibrated color contract proof. It was either a Fiery or an Iris color proof, before the job went to film separations. Then I would have the costumer view a match-print made from the film separations. Then the printers went to direct to plate PostScript imaging after I started my own design studio.
    I used Adobe PressReady software RIP with my Epson Stylus Photo 1200 to make pre flight proofs that were a dead-nuts representation of what we would eventually receive off the printing press.
    With InDesign and Acrobat providing onscreen separation & overprint previews, the need for me to see match-prints went away and that process moved more into the hands of the printer since they were doing direct to plate pre press imaging in-house.
    I have color corrected all the photos I use to provide eye-pleasing-color on the printing press. The customers were happy to omit the printed proof stage to save on costs and the printers liked using just PDFs for customer approval because they liked my color correction and they wanted to speed up the process of getting the job approved and onto the press.
    In this recent unique circumstance, my customer picked and purchased the stock art for the background of his flyer and mail card which I produced for him. I used InDesign's eye-dropper tool to make the display type the same color as the dominant highlight color in the stock art.
    This is a circumstance were a printed color proof would be best and since this customer has a creative eye for color, I will probably ship color proofs to him in the future. I plan to keep the status quo with my other customers, using only emailed PDFs for review because it has been successful this way for a long time and it avoids the cost of color proofs, next day shipping, and lets me work quickly with customers and printers that are hundreds of miles away because of the customers' email accounts and the printers' FTP servers.
    I appreciate all the input I have received in these forums.

  • Lr vs CS3 color difference rendering on-screen

    I edited an image in Lr1.1 and saved the metadata to file. When I view the same image in PS CS3/ACR there is a color difference. Skin tones are different. [Note: I have ProPhoto as the default CS3 RGB color space].
    But wait... there's more.
    Now when I export the image in Lr 1.1 (set to ProPhoto), that exported image when now imported and viewed in Lr 1.1 or PS CS3 look identical, and identical to the source/metadata file viewed in CS3.
    What I see is that Lr1.1 metadata driven rendition is different from the same operation mechanized by PS CS3/ACR. The latter is identical to an export of the same data (to JPG/TIFF) by Lr 1.1.
    What's going on?
    System: Mac Pro - OS X 10.4.10

    I'm not supposed to be monitoring this stuff right now since I'm on vacation, but the set of people who can reel off all of the possibilities is limited...
    Lightroom uses perceptual rendering when drawing to the screen and hence if you actually have a monitor profile that exploits this, it will look different from Photoshop which always uses relative colorimetric plus the relatively hokey optional gamut compression.
    If you are viewing images in any module other than Develop, then you need to be aware that the preview cache is generally stored in AdobeRGB (unless you turn the quality up to high) which means that colors outside the AdobeRGB gamut can get clipped to AdobeRGB before being clipped/mapped to the display which will generally result in different appearance than simply clipping/mapping ProPhotoRGB to the display. But this should only affect colors outside the AdobeRGB gamut.
    Older versions of Photoshop had a less accurate conversion path for display for speed reasons. I don't know whether this has been fixed in CS3.
    As for white balance settings transfer, Camera Raw applies more aggressive rounding to the values it edits and displays than does Lightroom.

    Hi All
    I have put mac os update from 10.9 to 10.9.5 from mac app store. Update wants restart and I do that. First it shows installing updates on monitor and then after waiting for more than 30 minutes, it did not restart. On monitor it shows no signal now. I have checked all the connections. Mac mini LED light is showing blue color and i think its signalled the ON mode. Also mouse lights are on. Please provide help, as I need to solve it asap.

  • Web Color vs My Mac in Photshop

    I have been having a problem with the color changing from
    vibrant colors to dull unsaturated colors when they display on the
    web. I usually save pics for the web using sRGB 98 jpgs. I have
    posted on my own site and lots of other sites and most of the time
    (not always) the color diminishes greatly web the pics show up on
    the web. However I posted my pics on Facebook and was surprised to
    see this didn't happen. I guess they have a program that
    automatically uses the right color space or something because the
    pics look just like they do in PS. Please help me figure out what I
    need to do to maintain the best color for the web. TIA Jim

    be sure that your monitor color controls are setup correctly.
    Use a gamma
    setting tool.
    On the PC I use QuickGamma and QuickMonitorProfile both free.
    for a MAC I would recommend Gamma Control

    also free.

  • Screen sharing performanace differences on MAC and WINDOWS

    Hi All
    I am having a big issue of screen share latency (working on WINDOWS) which is about to 20 - 30 sec sometime and 10 - 15 sec in general. I was thinking that It could be because of my network limits but when on the same time and in the same network I publish my screen share from MAC, miracle is happening, there is unexpected difference and there is no latency and if there, it is sometimes about 2-3 sec hardly. My maximum users are using WINDOWS and so that I am searching a solution for this latency problem. Please suggest a solution.
    Thanks.

    Hi Raff,
    We have tested it on following combinations on port 443 , sending and receiving.
    1. Screen sharing on MAC machine on LAN (Result: Good speed of sharing)
    2. Screen sharing on MAC machine on WiFi (Result: Good speed of sharing)
    3 Screen sharing on Windows machine on LAN (Result: Too much Latency in receiving)
    4 Screen sharing on Windows machine on WiFi (Result: Too much Latency in receiving)
    Specially we have noted on windows that after some time , data from windows machine (Any windows machine) screensharing addin process stop sending any significant upstream data(used netlimiter to verify this) , so reciver receives almost nothing or very delayed screen updates.
    I tried to figure out using Wireshark , but not sure that which packet to look for which can cause issues.I do not see any dropped packets atleast in packet scan.But packet sending speed decreases after some time on Windows machine.
    We use same settings of performance ,Quality ,Fps and Keyframes on Windows and MAC while sharing screen.
    What to look in for wireshark.
    Your inputs will be very helpfull.

  • CS5 - Color difference between Photoshop and other programs

    I'm running CS5.5 student edition on a brand new Asus Q500A laptop running Windows 8. i7 processor and a UMA graphics card.
    I do not have calibration software; I'm using Calibrize for the moment and colors appear fairly true when browsing after calibration.
    My problem is that overall colors in Photoshop appear more saturated than those in regular browser windows, particularly reds. I set up my computer to run the Win8 photos app and my desktop with Photoshop simultaneously and the color difference was immediately noticeable. I did a quick screen grab to show the difference; the inset photo is the one viewed in Win8's photos app, and the background is the exact same photo open in Photoshop.
    This is the second install of this program. I originally installed it on a Dell Inspiron with a DuoCore processor (way out of spec, I know - that's why I upgraded!) and I seem to remember having this issue then, too. I found a way to correct it, but I don't remember how I fixed it and Photoshop is no longer on that machine so I can't look over my settings.
    I have not changed the color profile in Photoshop. When installed it chose North America General Purpose 2 as default and I've left it there. I experimented with the other color profiles and while the color tone in Photoshop changes, there is still a difference when the image is viewed in another program.
    Any help is much appreciated - I can't trust the program to handle color properly right now and until I can, I'm dead in the water.

    I'm sorry, but I have to disagree. When I view the image on another computer or my iPhone, the image views properly. It's my photography, from a tree in my back yard. I know how the image is supposed to look, and right now it doesn't look right in Photoshop.
    On my previous machine, I am almost positive that it was saving as sRGB by default as well. I don't remember what color profile I was working in, but I know that I did not have a color profile/space error pop up on opening new images, nor do I have that problem on other images saved on that machine that I'm opening on the laptop.

  • Remove color profile from an image

    How to remove color profile from an image is it possible through any script?
    Manual Try - Don't Color Manage this Document: option is used to instruct Photoshop to remove an existing embedded profile but when I save the file, close and open it I still see a color profile in the embedded image.

    On the mac you could have sips do this (it may depend on the file type). You would loose the files creator if Photoshop was its last editor though.

  • ACR color difference with PS CS4

    I tried a search and can't find a thread about what I'm seeing, so I'm posting in the hopes that others may be seeing the same thing.
    I have PS CS4 and ACR 5.3 (latest patches) on a Windows XP Pro computer.  I use Adobe RGB as my working space and profile my dual monitors with an Eye One Display2.  I recently started experimenting with using ACR to edit tif files, but I noticed that while the image is loaded in the ACR window it looks quite different color wise than the Bridge thumbnail or within CS4 (after opening it as a smart object).  The look in ACR is similar to what the same image looks like in CS4 with the ColorMatch profile assigned to the image (i.e. quite a bit brighter and lacking saturation).
    Here's the weird things:
    When I first open the tif image, it looks correct as long as the exclaimation mark is present on the preview window.  Once the file is fully processed and that icon disappears the image color makes the dramatic change.  If I then make no changes and simply open the image in CS4, then it's back to the original "correct" colors.
    If I zoom in the ACR preview to 50% or higher, then the color difference is negligible if not entirely gone, but I can't edit an 8000x5000 without seeing the entire image.
    Here's what I have tried:
    Turned off all OpenGL features
    Verified my monitor profile was being recognized by CS4
    Ensured my color settings didn't get changed (preserve profiles is on, as well as ask on mismatch)
    Tested them with an image that was a known mismatch and it asked what I should do as expected
    I tried PS CS3 and ACR 4.x with the same result
    Stripped out XMP metadata with Exiftool to see if that may have been an issue - it wasn't
    I'm hoping someone else has an idea what is causing this or if it's a known issue.  Any ideas or confirmation on what I'm seeing would be appreciated.

      It doesn't matter which space is set, the display of the image is always the same in ACR.
    Holy cow!  If that's the case in your setup, you have a HUGE problem, Craig.
    You should definitely see a big difference in the ACR preview when you set your ACR worflow options to ProPhoto RGB compared to either Adobe RGB or sRGB.  If you don't, either your monitor is not accurately calibrated and profiled, or it's a lousy narrow-gamut monitor, or your color management is broken.
    EDIT:  It could be that the scan was not really made in ProPhoto RGB but was converted by the lab to that profile, in which case then, yes, you would see no difference because the true, original color space was and remains narrower and smaller than the lowest common denominator, which could well be anything, including Color Match or sRGB (and we all know what the s stands for in sRGB!).
    cssadobe wrote:
    Since PS CS4 created the tiff, the preview and the actual image data should be identical in my opinion.  Would you agree with that? I don't know why PS would create a preview that was not identical in display characteristics to the actual image.
    No, I would not agree with that.  No reasonable person can expect a low-resolution, JPEG-like preview embedded in the TIFF to look identical to the TIFF.  Information has to be discarded to generate the preview.  But that's beyond the scope of ACR.
    What I would expect is that ACR would render a better display from the original data in the TIFF than what the mediocre embedded preview can generate.
    cssadobe wrote:
    If I zoom in on the image in ACR to at least 50%, then the difference seems to disappear. 
    Well, duh!  You only see the real image when you view it at 100%.  The farther you get from 100%, the more information is either being discarded (at anything less than 100%)  or made up, invented at greater than 100%.  50% is still not as good as 100%, but it's definitely better than the miserably low 8.7% view you were using when you made that last screen shot.
    Seeing that you have severe problems with your display, as suggested by the first paragraph in this post, there seems to be no point in discussing in detail any of the discrepancies you mention, most especially at any other view that is not actual pixels (100%).
    I'll have to read the thread again when I have the time to see if you have said when you calibrated your monitor last and how, what your color settings are, what monitors you're running, etc.
    I validate the calibration on my monitors practically on a daily basis with a hardware calibrator puck.
    But, ultimately, viewing a large scan at a dismal 8.7% you can't make any of the judgments you are trying to make.

  • Cant open InDesign files from mac on pc

    I am trying to open some InDesign files made on a mac on my pc but it does not work.
    I have the latest version of InDesign on my pc computer. 
    We have tried:
    Open the mac files as they are.
    Resave the mac files as old indesign format and open them on PC
    Export from mac to IDML files and open those files on the pc.
    Open the file on my pc as a "copy"
    Nothing works.
    I get the message:
    Either the file does not exist, you do not have permission, or the file may be in use by another application.
    Having a deadline for this project very very soon so really need to fix this. Any ideas out there?

    I dont know what the orginal mac version is for this. And it will take some time to find out.
    Can i see this somewhere? Could this make a difference?
    Use this: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/934429
    Yes it makes a difference. First off, my script checks if it's indeed an InDesign file. If it is, it tells what version the file was created with (and recent versions of the script will also helpfully tell you what that means for you, i.e., whether or not you can open it with your version of inDesign).
    Further check: nothing weird in the file name? Don't assume -- delete the original file name and type in something reasonable. There are lots of weird Mac symbols that may have hitched a ride along.
    If that does not work: either post the file somewhere for us to look at (preferred), or open it with a hex editor and show us the first couple of bytes. This so we can verify what it is.

  • Color Difference - Camera Raw & Nikon Raw NEF

    Hello everybody
    When i open a Nikon Raw file in Camera Raw (Photosop CC) I notice a distinct color-difference between the integrated preview image in the Raw file and the camera Raw standard.
    I want to start with the exact same color how it came from the camera.
    Refers to Nikon D300 or D800 in Raw / Nef format.
    left, from Camera Raw 8.4.1 "Camera Raw Standard"
    right, integrated preview from the original raw-file
    Mostly i have the difference in Blue, it's too much cyan in there an looks not "natural"!
    thanks for help

    The third icon in from the right (looks like a camera) called camera calibrations is where the presets live that supposedly match that of your camera.
    Even though you use those presets, you are not done. To match what you see in your camera, you must manually adjust the sliders under the basic tab until it does match.
    What you see in your camera is a processed image, which is applied to a jpg only. The raw file is just that raw, no processing is done to it. Think of it as a negative. It is your permanent record of the image. Camera raw is then used to manually set up the image to your personal liking. Which does a better job the camera or yourself, is dependent on your skills. You can get details out of that raw file that the camera can not.
    When you find you are placing the sliders in certain location more than once, then it is time to create a preset in camera raw that stores those settings. The more you use camera raw, more you can see when your own preset can be used (even as a starting point) and when it is time to do everything manually.
    So in other words it is going to take time to 1)get a keen eye 2)understand the subtle differences in what each setting does and 3) collect a library of presets that you can use time and again.
