Color discrepancy in JPG file on DPP vs. Preview

I take photos w/ Canon 30D using RAW file and touch up/convert to JPG on DPP. There is a significant color difference on the same JPG image when seen on DPP vs. when seen on Preview. Does anybody have the same problem? It only looks different on Preview b/c when I upload it on a web gallery, the color looks fine, so it's not the converting process that's messing up the color but something about Preview that's causing the problem. Any solution to this?

I've got the same problem on my new macbook. And what's more disturbing is I still could not find one display color profile could give the right color...the color LCD one is ok for daily use, but the color is still duller than it should be, when editing photos.

  • Several kinds of jpg file types

    Hi everyone
    I have just installed Nikon Scan 4.0.2 and it works well.
    When I scan images in jpg mode, they become "Nikon Scan JPEG" files. The default open action is with "Nikon Scan 4".
    However, when I scan images in Vuescan, they end up as plain old jpgs, which open by default with Preview.
    How can I harmonise so images scanned with Nikon Scan become ordinary jpgs so that every jpg on my system will open with Preview by default?
    Thanks a tonne
    /p

    Hi pullman,
    You .jpg files are all the same, it's how they've been assigned that's different. On a Mac, files have Type and Creator codes (from OS 9 and earlier).
    Consider .eps files in Windows. Only ONE program can be assigned to an extension, so if Photoshop is set to open .eps, then it will try to open any .eps you click on, regardless of whether it belongs to PS or not. May have been from Illustrator, Quark, Freehand, etc. doesn't matter.
    The Mac keeps those same .eps files separated by their codes. All .eps files get a Type code of EPSF, but have different Creator codes. Photoshop's is 8BIM. Illustrator is ART5, and so on. Using this double entry system keeps similar files separated by the application they belong to. OS X is moving away from Type and Creator codes in favor of the more modern Uniform Type Identifiers. But the concept is the same. The UTI data keeps file associations in order.
    The reason I explain this is to help you understand why your JPEG files are doing this. The codes associated with Nikon Scan are logically linked to Nikon Scan since it's the creating application, so that's what they try to open in. VueScan is saving the files with a different code, so they open instead in Preview.
    Anyway, the solution should be to just click on any .jpg once to highlight it and press Command+I, or choose Get Info from the file menu. Change the Open With choice to Preview. Click on the Change All button. From now on, all .jpg files should open in Preview.

  • QuickLook: No preview for JPG, not even Get-Info preview

    Just upgraded from Tiger 10.4.11 to Leopard 10.5.8.... QL works really nice, but now my JPG files wont show a preview, even when performing a regular Get-Info... I'm also using SneekPreview Pro to enhance QL, but the other one, SneakPeekPhoto I had to uninstall, 'cause it was causing my Finder to quit unexpectedly... Any solution here?
    Thanks...

    Must be something weird with those jpg's.  I just created a little jpg and set the finder view options of the enclosing folder to "Show Icon Preview" and that worked.  I did a Get Info on the file and and looked in the Preview section (after clicking the disclosure triangle) and that also worked.  I set the view options of the enclosing folder to column view and click the jpg and it shows the picture in the next column.  Lastly I right clicked on the jpg and in the finder contextual selected Quick Look and that worked too.

  • Deskjet 3050 does only print JPG files in color - all other docs are only printed in black and white

    Dear All,
    I have a problem with my Deskjet 3050 Printer. (USB connected with my laptop).
    My printer won't print colored documents in color but only in black and white (except for JPG files (photos) which are printed in color.
    Word documents or PDF files (for example) are always printed in black and white - even if these are in color.
    Copying colored pages with my printer is no problem.
    This works perfectly well. The printer is connected to my PC via USB.
    The cartridges (color and black and white) are practically new and original HP cartridges.
    Could the problem be related to the printer settings which I might have changed by accident.
    Thanks in advance for your advise.

  • Colors change when exporting to jpg file

    I'm a web designer and use Fireworks CS5 extensively. In the last week, I've had 2 artists indicate that an exported jpg image that I created for their websites does not look the same as the original. In one case, aqua colors were darkened to a grey/blue. In another case, the exported image just looks darker than the original. In both cases, I started with a jpg file that the artist sent me.
    I've tried eliminating the compression by setting it to 100. I've tried using the export wizard, the regular export function, and the save as function. In the export wizard, I've unchecked the Sharpen Color Edges and Remove Unused Colors checkboxes. The created images all look the same yet different than the originals. As an expeiment, I created new jpg images using Paint Shop Pro and the exported file looks exactly like the original.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Along the same lines as Linda's suggestion: Take a look at the color profile of the image sent to you by the artist before you work on it. If it's anything other than sRGB, convert it. If you're on a Mac, you can use the Info panel (Command-I) to quickly check for a color profile on a graphic; otherwise, you can fire up Photoshop and use its Info panel. To convert the color profile within Photoshop, use Edit > Convert to Profile, which will preserve the image appearance but attach a different ICC profile.
    Fireworks doesn't acknowledge color profiles (at least FW8 doesn't), so when you open the image in FW, you might see a small color shift. When you save or export the graphic from FW, the ICC profile may be stripped from the file. If it's important that it be preserved, as a final step, you could try re-opening the exported graphic in Photoshop and re-assigning the sRGB profile (using Edit > Assign Profile) before sending it off to your client. Some web browsers do observe color profiles now—Safari and Firefox, for instance. I think it's good to include them for photographs, but they shouldn't really be necessary for web or interface graphics.

  • Color Cast Only On Mac Generated jpg files When Viewed In Bridge Cs3 Preview

    Hi,
    ( Issue With Cs3 Bridge Viewing Jpgs - Getting Colour Cast on the Mac Generated Jpgs Files Only When Viewed In Bridge Cs3 On PC )
    Using  CS3 creative suite Mac & PC and viewing all files on the PC.
    We have  psd files when viewing in bridge they are  ok and save jpgs via PS3 both on the Mac & PC off the same PSD file that we started with.
    But when viewing these jpg files in bridge we get a red cast only when viewing from the Mac generated files from the same PSD we started with.
    When we open the jpg files up in Photoshop all of them are ok we no issues only when viewing in bridge we get the red cast.
    All PSD files have the same information content:
    Bit depth
    Colour space
    Pixel size
    Why are we getting this happening.
    Thnx

    Thanks very much for that lead, NormanPCN. I do have Auto Tone checked, though the rendered files in the example above do not have XMP sidecars. I will try unchecking Auto Tone even so, and post back when I see what happens.
    Thanks again,
    Kieren
    EDIT: Bingo! I took Auto Tone off in ACR Preferences (in Bridge) and the non-RAW files immediately regenerated thumbs and previews. They now are indistinguishable from the PSD. There is still the very slight difference which I mentioned between the PSD and the CR2. While that seems odd, it is small enough to be relatively trivial.
    Many thanks!

  • Problems with exporting .jpg file in Indesign CS3

    Hello! I've used Indesign to create a memory book I would like to now place in another program to have printed (blurb is the company I'm using). Now that I have created the spreads I need to export each page individually as .jpg files, so that I can place them in to this other program to have them printed. (The program does not read .pdf files...they have to be .jpg). I exported each page and noticed that about 20 out of 90 have pages that have black bars over some of the pictures. I'm not sure how to remedy this problem and have tried changing some settings but unsuccessfully so. I've also had problems with Indesign crashing when I've tried to export the entire book as a .pdf. Thanks for the help!

    I think I've seen that reported before, but don't remember if an answer was found.
    HOWEVER, InDesign's jpeg export leave a lot to be desired under any circumstances, and the best method is to export a good PDF (Use one of the presets intended for printed output) then open that in Photoshop using appropriate settings (if you have body copy sized type, I'd recommend using 600 ppi to keep it realtively crisp, but the printer will probably complain about the size of the file) then save as a high quality jpeg in whichever color profile is recommended by the printer.
    I know you said you had some trouble exporting the whole book as PDF, but maybe we can solve that if you give some more details.

  • Frame7.1 wont import Photoshop CS5.1 .jpg file

    I am (reluctantly) in the process of migrating from Windows XP +
    Photoshop CS V8.0 to Windows 7/64bit + Photoshop CS5.1.
    Framemaker 7.1 works well in both XP and W7/64, including generating
    PDFs. I can import .jpg files written by Photoshop CS. Etc.
    ... except...
    If I open a known-good (already imported) .jpg file using Photoshop
    CS5.1 and, without making any changes, save it, Framemaker can no
    longer import it, neither directly or by reference:
       "The filter encountered an error and could not complete the
        translation".
    It appears the Photoshop CS5.1 writes a different .jpg file format
    than Photoshop CS (rhetorical: how can it be acceptable for CS5.1 to
    change the format of a basic .jpg file? but I digress...).
    Examining the original .jpg file vs. the CS5 .jpg file I find:
    - The new file is smaller (79KB vs. 82KB) - note both are small!
    - The contents (examined using a binary editor) are quite different.
    - Both versions display identically, in both CS and CS5.1 and in
       various viewers.
    I have tried various experiments trying to understand this and have
    had no luck. I can open the CS5 .jpg file in Photoshop CS and save it
    again but Framemaker will not open this version either, same error.
    This is not a RAM size issue (8GB), swap space issue, or anything else
    related to the computer hardware. All SW updates are current, etc.
    I have tried importing into a new, default template file, etc.
    So, I tried saving as .bmp and the first time I tried to import it
    Framemaker died immediately: no stack trace, no error messages, the
    Frame process was just gone. After restarting, the 2nd attempt I got a
    black rectangle of the correct size, but all black = not usable.
    Photoshop CS + Framemaker has worked well for many years, so I know
    this is a CS5 issue.
    Anyone have any ideas on how to make CS5.1 generate a "standard" .jpg
    file?
    Anyone have any ideas on how to import CS5.1 images using
    Framemaker 7.1?
    Please don't advocate upgrading Framemaker to V10... Adobe provides zero
    information on migration (from any version) and the last time we did
    this cost us many man-months of work to "fix" 14K+ pages in 50+
    manuals. We will stay with XP/CS and "eat" the new W7/CS5 system
    before we move to FM10.
    Thanks
    Previously (everything works)
      Windows XP/SP3
      Photoshop CS V8.0
      Framemaker 7.1P116, non-structured
    Today:
      Windows 7/64bit SP1
      Photoshop CS5.1
      Framemaker 7.1P116, non-structured

    AG: IIRC, the FM7.1 JPG filter only reads the older JFIF header format JPG files, while the CS5 Photoshop and many other applications write EXIF headers in the JPG (yes , the standard evolved).
    We also had a problem with JPEG 5 (legacy) vs. JPEG 2000 (newer) encoding, not in FM, but in the rendered PDFs at our print shop. The Xerox engine needed an update to fix that.
    Using JPEGs in FM has various considerations, some already mentioned in this thread. But the biggest concern, in my view, is cascading compression damage. JPEG compression is always "lossy", and the artifacts at higher compression, or after successive compressions, are often visually distracting (and may be aggravated if sharpening is also applied). Even at NO compression, there are losses due to the transforms
    Unless you are shooting .RAW, your camera is compressing from frame buffer to JPEG. When you re-save from your photo editor, regardless of edits, it gets re-compressed if saved to JPEG. When you render to PDF, it may get both down-samped and re-compressed again depending on PDF settings. If you post-process (optimize or reduce file size) in Acrobat, it can get down-sampled and re-compressed again.
    So I shoot JPEG with as little compression as possible (RAW has other considerations). I edit in PhotoShop and save as EPS, which is a very inefficient format space-wise, but is UNcompressed*, and is a very efficient format both performance- and stability-wise in FM. I save the EPS at the resolution desired in the PDF (usually 200 dpi). Yes, it does get (and needs to be) re-compressed during Distill, but we've skipped one needless re-comp, and avoided another down-sample. We don't further optimize in Acrobat post because the images are already optimal.
    EPS also supports both RGB and CMYK models, whereas JPEG is strictly RGB (or, beware: indexed color). And EPS is generally unmolested by Mr.Bill's GDI, which is crucial for color-managed CMYK.
    * TIFF can also be uncompressed, and CMYK, but can be a performance issue in FM.
    The Wiki page for JPEG, btw, is presently vandalized:
    "The name "JPEG" stands for Joint Photosaic Experts Group, the name of the committee that created the JPEG standard and also other standards. It was discovered by <likely name of vandal redacted> of the Philippines."

  • DNG Profile Editor: Can't create profile from JPG file

    Guys, could you tell me why DNG Profile Editor fails to create color table using 4 colored circles ? It says "Unable to check white balance using gray patches. Please use the four color circles to identify the four corner patches of the chart and try again" even though I places four circles properly (it works with DNG files shot with my Nikon D700).
    I created this DNG file from JPG file by opening it in Camera Raw plugin and saving as DNG file. Original JPG was shot on camera of Samsun Galaxy S phone. I know I'm crazy but I want to have color profile for it All patches are properly exposed after slight correction of Exposure slider in Camera Raw.
    I'm using latest beta3 build
    Here is link to DNG and JPG file I'm trying to use
    http://www.box.net/shared/4v2rzlzjfp
    Thanks!

    If you convert your JPG to a DNG can you change the profile to the one you computed from the other JPG you converted to a DNG?
    Profiles are not for JPGs.  Profiles are for RAW files that ACR supports.  You can't (easily/ever) get a RAW file from your Galaxy S and Adobe doesn’t' support that RAW format even if you could.
    To see if your profiling is working, you can used the ColorCheck module from a trial version of Imatest that you download from www.imatest.com and look at the color-error.
    You can also try the Read_Color_CC24.jsx script from Rags-Gardner:

  • Wrong embedded colour profile causes huge jpg files when published to .Mac

    D'oh! i posted the following on the iDisk discussion my mistake. Here it is all again for iWebbites:
    I've spent most of the day trying to optimise my new iWeb site on .Mac but the published jpg files are far too big.
    Despite sizing to 800x600 px and jpegging at about 5 or 6 in Photoshop which resulted in a file size of about 100kb on my local disk, when uploaded to .Mac via iWeb the they have turned into 800 kb files.
    Lots of trouble-shooting, including ensuring that they weren't converted to png, that they have no borders, reflections or drop-shadows yet they still got bloated on the upload. Especially the photos in the photo-gallery page.
    I've isolated the problem but don't know what to do next:
    Turns out, iWeb ignores the sRGB embedded colour profile and replaces it with the monitor profile of the originating computer.
    I discovered this after I opened the file in Photoshop directly via iDisk in Finder. Converting or assigning the file to sRGB and saving it back down to iDisk immediately restored it to its intended file size of 100kb and this time with the correct sRGB colour profile.
    Going now to the domain.sites on my local disk and opening the package shows all the photos doubled up. A 360 x 264 .jpeg file with the monitor profile embedded and bloated out to 800kb plus the original 800x600 image with sRGB and .jpg as the file type but still only 100kb
    So what the heck is happening in iWeb to do this and to use the wrong file type associations with the wrong file when uploaded?
    There is very little on the forum about colour (color) profiles and no mention of the bloat in file size, just a reference to colour and tone issues with the wrong profile so I'm wondering if its related to the 1.1.2 update. (I haven't really tried using iWeb until the last week or so).
    Fixing the problem by post processing the photos on my site every time I publish would be impossible with the amount of photos I have and my intention of updating the web galleries regularly.
    As you can find out if you go to a photo page on my site:
    < <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://">http://web.mac.com/adrian_malloch/iWeb/AdrianMallochPhotography/ Kabaddi.html > some pages take horrendously long to load. Check out some of the other Subculture pages. I haven't tested them all but Safari Activity viewer shows that most of the slow speed is related to opening jpeg files.
    Any help and informed suggestions would be hugely appreciated.

    This is doing my head in.
    My last two comments "posted" half way through writing, before I had a chance to edit completely.
    Here's how it should have read :
    Using sRGB as a monitor profile, in itself, doesn't make a lot of sense.
    A monitor profile is custom made specifically for the monitor to compensate for its display characteristics.
    A "good enough" monitor profile is to use the software calibration built into the Displays preferences. Go to System Preferences/Displays/Color/Calibrate and follow the prompts. Hint: squint as you try to judge the colour and tone differences. The idea is to make the detail so fuzzy you don't notice it.
    It's not very accurate, especially with LCD screens, but it's better than nothing and certainly better than using a universal colour space like sRGB, etc.
    The accurate option is to get hold of a hardware calibrator like the Spyder, or Gretag-McBeth iOne Display (which I use). It costs a bit but is vital for accurate repeatable colour.
    The whole point is that when the profile is made up and is set as the default profile, then you will get a WYSIWYG screen.
    So, the same images will look the same on different monitors providing they each have accurate monitor profiles made specifically for them.
    If you use sRGB as your monitor profile then you cannot expect the image to look the same on any one else's machine, whether they use sRGB, a monitor profile or any other profile. Worse still, if you change an image to "look right" on your screen, chances are that the image will look horrible on another screen.
    Hence, why I will only switch to sRGB monitor profile as a workaround for uploading in iWeb. Nothing else!!

  • JPG files become corrupt after Exporting in LR 3

    Does anyone have any idea what would cause
    my JPG files to be corrupt after I export my edited Raw images in LR3?  There are no problems with the Raw file, but once I edit them, apply what ever settings to them in LR I need, I export them as JPG to the same hard drive but in a sub folder where the raw files are, they will not open in photoshop or anywhere else. They are corrupt or lacking data????   When I upload them to my proofing website, there are colored streaks all through the image.  Now, I noticed that when I go into that folder of RAW images, and delete the .xmp files, I have to start over, but it fixes the problem.  So, now, I can't use .xmp sidecar files to save my editing. I'm fairly new to LR, so any suggestions would be great. I did recently upgrade my system to OS windows 7.  Everythign was fine till I had to reinstall everything on my computer...and I also changed hard drives. I upgraded to a Terabyte drive moving all my images from a 500G to the terabyte.  Could that cause my sidecar files to be corrupted?????
    Thank you!!!!!

    I doubt that the XMP files have anything to do with this, as Lightroom doesn't use these files when it creates an exported file.
    It sounds like your hardware may be the culprit; these types of corrupt files are often caused by a failing hard drive. Some corruption may have happened in the transfer from one hard drive to another; or the new hard drive has some sort of problem.
    Can you hook up the old hard drive again and see what happens to the photos there? Open one of them and compare it to the photo on the new hard drive.

  • More jpg file corruption

    I've had another jpg file corrupted in the same manner as before and this time the file hasn't been touched recently by anything but LR. My second copy was also corrupt because I "back up" too often. Fortunately, it's easy for me to get files back from my internet backup, which is written only once. To get to my CDs or DVDs would require digging in a closet.
    To me this brings a lot of issues to the fore with jpg handling, both what I do with them and what LR does with them. First, if you are going to rewrite files frequently (I only write metadata on demand, not automatically) then you have to know how to do it safely! On my side, it may be stupid to write it out -- nope, not, because I have to in order to edit in PS and retain the metadata. I have almost innumerable LR backups and the metadata is in there. I have considerable experience now in plopping in an absolute original file and LR happily applies everything to it. Hum. I'm forgetting the PS edits which would not be backed up with this plan.
    The existence of 1 to 1 previews makes it very slow to SEE a problem in LR. I haven't used these files for months until the 9th when I started working on them. The first day or so it was grinding a lot, obviously making previews. So the good preview of this file had to be made on the 9th or a bit after so the file was OK at that time. In fact, everything looked fine until I decided to edit a copy of the file in PS. It stumbled and flickered the screen and then created a preview with only the top third or so of the file intact and the bottom part "faded." These appear to still be (almost) valid jpg file, but the content has been damaged.
    I have used jpg files for years and I don't remember a time when I've had jpg file corruption. I may have forgotten an instance, but it doesn't come to mind. I've had 3 or 4 them now with LR.
    These jpg files were created from scans and I have manipulated them to put the capture date, date digitized, and some global type information. I use exifer, a product that's been used for many years by many people (and not updated recently). If exifer is a problem, why only a handful of corruptions in thousands of files?
    It's difficult to have a sensible backup plan except to keep the originals somewhere really safe. Even with metadata writing turned off by default, these files churn. I cannot keep every version of jpg files. And keeping the old files for a short period does not help because bad files don't show up in LR under many circumstances because of the preview files.
    I don't know if this is relevant but I never had this happen with LR 1.0.
    This is very worrisome and I'm going to get grouchy soon! You guys with RAW are really lucky that LR doesn't write to your files! I'd now love to have an option of a sidecar file which I could write to the jpg only when I'm ready to and have a way to check that the resulting file is still intact.
    Of course I haven't proven there isn't an issue with my disk drive, but I've now proven it to myself that there's a very high probability that LR is corrupting jpg files when writing out metadata. I would like to hear if others using jpg files have had corruptions.

    Hi, I too also have just experienced jpg corruption. It was a jpg that had been taken several years ago and had not been edited at all. The bottom left hand corner had been transposed from the right hand side. The result of this was the whole bottom 1/5 of the picture was shifted to the right. Also the color of the shifted portion was slightly different from the rest. This is the first jpg corruption in Lightroom I have seen. My backup was the same but fortunately I had a copy on DVD. I am using Windows version of Lightroom 1.2, tried 1.3 and decided to go back to 1.2
    Does anyone know if this type of corruption only happens to jpg files. Would it be worthwhile marking them all read-only. I plan to check my other jpgs to see if there are any more corruptions. I mainly shoot RAW now and convert to DNG

  • Color Space Problems w/ Files?

    I use Lightroom 2.5 to manage my photos. There are several things I don't understand regarding embedded color spaces in files.
    When I export a file from LR to Photoshop CS4 as a TIF in the Adobe RGB color space the file shows as "Uncalibrated" in the EXIF & XMP metadata.
    Using PS CS4, if I save a JPG file from the above Adobe RGB TIF file, and then use the edit -> convert to profile function, with Destination Space -> Adobe RGB selected, toggling the preview check box shows a color shift in the image. If I convert an image to the same color space why is there a color shift?
    Is the color profile stored in the EXIF or XMP metadata?

    I can provide some general information on the topic, though I do not use Lightroom so thers may jump in.
    Information about color space is contained within the tiff file proper. That is, in a tag (the T in TIFF) and if I am correct it is tag 262 (PhotometricInterpretation).  I do not know if LR also puts this info into the metadata.
    When you convert a file to jpg you invoke the YCbCr color space and convert your source data into it. That is, the "compression" process also involves a color space change if you did not start out with YCbCr.  This could account for the color shift you are seeing.

  • Why the exported JPG file looks like completely black?

    I've already exported a PDF file by Indesign, but when I exported it to JPG file (by Acrobat), the JPG looks like almost compeletely black. But When I exported it to PNG, or Open this JPG by PS, and save it again, the image looks like normal (no black). This is PDF creating problem ( by indesign) or JPG creating problem (by Acrobat)?

    Can you attach a screenshot?

    Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum file size (1 MB).
    You can try to search for a theme that looks better for you or maybe a solid persona with a suitable color.
