Color Management: Results differ between Lightroom and ColorSync

Hi. I'm on a Mac and using LightRoom 3 with a Canon PIXMA MG5250 printer.
I have read elsewhere on the web that choosing a profile from within Lightroom's Print interface is essentially the same as selecting "Color Sync" under "Color Matching" in the print dialog (as opposed to "Canon Color Matching") and then selecting the prifile there. The only difference is in what interface you use to pass the same instructions to the driver. And sure enough, when I select a profile in LR, the options under "Color Matching" are disabled (with the "Color Sync" radio button selected). The only thing is:
Selecting the profile in Lightroom produces a slightly brighter image.
I printed the same image on the same piece of paper side by side. First one image with CM from LR. Then I refed the sheet, moved the image over to the other side and printed again with CM set to ColorSync and profile selected in the print dialog. The latter produced noticably richer (and more desireable) blacks.
Should this be possible?

Back at work and my wide gamut monitors, and now I see the problem very clearly.
Lr Develop and Photoshop are basically in agreement, although there is the weird banding in the Photoshop version. The differences are all in the red channel, so here's once again how the full screenshot looks - the first as is, the second with a curves layer to make it clearer:
So let's forget the histogram for now (although the clipping still makes me suspicious) and figure out which version is the correct one. I tend to trust Photoshop, but there is one known bug that affects Prophoto files with Open GL "on" only. All other color spaces go clear of it. This could well be it, because it causes colored banding in shadow areas. The bug is acknowledged but still not resolved.
So try to turn off Open GL in Photoshop and see if the banding goes away.
If it does, and Lightroom Develop/Photoshop are in agreement, I'd probably leave it at that and settle for Jao's explanation above. As has been said before, the fact that there is a difference is in itself no mystery, since the previews are rendered into Adobe RGB and Develop uses linear Prophoto.
And then I'd recalibrate the monitor, making sure that it's properly warmed up, just to be safe.
I'll try to duplicate this when I get time, using images with similar deep blue tones. But my monitors are Flexscans, not Coloredges, and the Eizo profiling software is different, so it's not directly comparable.

  • Color change on exporting from lightroom and saving in Photoshop CS5

    I have been having issues with my pictures with color management.    I have Lightroom 4 and Photoshop CS5.  I thought over the last 2 years that it was just me.   I have bought a Eizo monitor with a hood, calibrate with a i1display pro, painted my walls gray, updated my strobes from alien bees to elinchrome bxri's.   Updated my sekonic meter to a L 758.   Have done custom white balance with gray card, expodisc, xrite kits.   The problem has been over the years when I work on a picture in lightroom and export it as jpeg or adobe rgb it gets saved to my external hardrive and the colors are really bad !!   You can go back and compare the picture in lightroom to the picture on my iomega external drive and there is a significant difference.   I do some animal photography and I had a dog that had brown fur and when I export it out of lightroom the dogs fur is actually a bright very orange color.  Same thing happens with skin tones.     When I import the photos into lightroom the pictures look ok.       The same thing is happening when I go from lightroom to photoshop the picture color looks good but when I go to File-save as - tiff or jpeg the colors are changing.   It does not matter what color space I am in I have tried them all it is still happening.    If anyone has any insight that would be great.

             Thanks everyone for the help.   I have only been doing photography for about 2 years and the color managment part has been my hardest thing to get right.   My monitor ColorEdge CG243W LCD.   Wide color gamut of 98%.  Has a sensor on front of monitor that detects ambient brightness but this will only work if you are in a custom color mode.  Modes are: custom,  sRGB,DCI,EBU, Cal1.   I use the Cal 1 to be able to use the Colornavigator software that came with the monitor.  You also have to be in custom color mode to be able to manually adjust brightness, contrast, temperature on the monitr itself which I do not use because I use the Cal 1 mode.   I was not sure about the digital input signals.   I am on the DVI-I in which this allows digital signal input and analog signal input.    There is a DVI-D mode that allows only digital input only.    Also did not know if I needed to be concerned about setting the frequency that corresponds to the grahic board in the monitor ?    My bandwith was set to normal and now is on wide.   My digital input is for 1920x1200 resolution.   Appicable signal is Vesa CVT RB.  Frequency is 60 Hz.   Yes I did call Eizo twice last year when I got my monitor and did not get very far.     I have also called and spoke to a color specialist at my lab and told him the problems I have been having and he just told me to leave everything in sRGB.   Well I would like to get the most from my monitor's color gamut and when working on my pictures so that is why I am still determined to get this figured out.  
    I use the i1 Dislpay Pro hardware to calibrate with and the ColorNavigator software.     When calibrating.   I go to create a new target---select enter manually--Gamut ( monitor native--states recommended)--Brightness 100cd---White point (6500k)--set black level (recommemded states mininum 0.2)---gamma 2.20---priority (set automatically to standard, this adjusts gray balance while maintaining the contrast)---then I hit calibrate and it goes through the process.   The results I get are:                                            Target                                               Result
                          Brightness                                        100cd                                              99.9cd

  • I would like Adobe to develop a programme that sits between Lightroom and CS6

    I have Lightroom 1, 2, 3 & 4 (which I can't use at the moment because it is too slow) I also have CS3.
    I am an enthusiastic amatuer and don't need the catalogue facility in Lightroom (which can be exasperating at times) and I don't need 90% of the stuff on CS6 as I do most of my editing in Adobe Camera Raw.
    I would like to see Adobe develop a programme that sits between Lightroom and CS6 where the Lightroom  layout is kept much the same only instead of a catalogue have a browser in its place, I would also like to see the clone tool & the healing brush replaced with proper ones that work like the ones in CS6, I would also like to see an adjustment brush with a facility to invert my selection or some sort of masking, these are the tools I use most often in photoshop.
    Does anyone feel the same as me and if so how do we contact Adobe to let them know.

  • DIFF BETWEEN ABSOLUTE AND PERCENTAG TOLERANCE LIMITS

    Gud morning Gurus
    Can anyone tell me what is the exact difference between Absolute & Percentange tolerance limits in invoices that we set in customizing.
    it wud be better if any example is given.
    Thanks

    I WENT THRU THE URL SUGGESTED BY YOU.
    BUT I WANT TO KNOW IN WHAT CASES EXACTLY THE SYSTEM CONSIDERS ABSOLUTE AND PERCENTAGE LIMITS.
    ACTUALLY I READ A STATEMENT THAT THERE IS A DIFF BETWEEN ABSOLUTE AND PERCENTAGE LIMITS, SO WHAT IS IT?
    IN QUANTITY VARIANCES,AMOUNT VALRIANCES ETC.
    . Quantity variance: For a purchase order, the open quantity to invoice is a result of the delivered quantity and the quantity already invoiced. There is a quantity variance if the invoice quantity does not match this open quantity. At the absolute upper limit, the quantity variance is evaluated on the basis of the amount in the invoice item. This means that invoice items with a small amount result in a relatively large quantity variance, and that invoice items with a large amount result in a small variance. You can also define percentage limits for the quantity variance check, for which the system does not take account of the purchase order price.
    WHAT DOES THE ABOVE STATEMENT EXACTLY MEAN?CAN U EXPLAIN UDAY...
    THANKS

    ASMLib is a support library for the Automatic Storage Management feature of the Oracle Database. Automatic Storage Management (ASM) simplifies database administration. It eliminates the need for the DBA to directly manage potentially thousands of Oracle database files, requiring only the management of groups of disks allocated to the Oracle Database. ASMLib allows an Oracle Database using ASM more efficient and capable access to the disk groups it is using
    Using ASMLib is recommended if you're planning to use ASM though you can choose not to use it

  • Image size changes when moving an image between Lightroom and CC.

    Image size changes when moving an image between Lightroom and CC.
    I opened a .dng image in LR and then opened it in the Develop module.  I clicked on Crop Overlay and then on the ‘As Shot’ drop down menu (the lock is closed) and cropped to 11 x 17 and clicked ‘Done’-.
    I click Cntl-E and the image opens in CC.  There I click on Image > Image Size and the Image Size  is 13.288 inches by 20.533 inches.
    Why does the image size change?
    I believe there is a menu to control the size of the image and I've looked everywhere I can think of in LR and CC, I googled various descriptions and I checked two of Scott Kelby's books, but I just can't figure out how to keep the image a consistent size when moving between LR and CC.
    Help!...Please?

    The penny will drop soon or maybe the cloud will lift.
    In Lightroom all editing is undoable/nondestructive.
    Hence a crop of 3x2 is not inches, centimetres, pixels or anything else. It is jst a ratio. When a file is exported, either to PS or disk, then the crop ratio has size determined in respect of pixels and inches or cms.
    So my 6000x5000 pixel image I will crop to 3x2 that leaves (before exporting) a 6000x4000 file.
    Now when exported it can be set to export at
    100pixels per inch and will end up at 60x40" when printed.
    200pixels per inch will end up at 30x20"
    300ppi will end at 20x13.3"
    You will notice in the Crop Tool there are no size denominations such as inches or centimetres as an image file only has pixels and the determination of size is done through exporting or printing.
    Hope that helps somewhat..

  • Types of  DTP , Diff between Standard and Error DTP

    Hi experts,
    What is DTP ,  are the Types of  DTP , Diff between Standard and Error DTP , how it works in BI 7.0.
    I will assign points for your valuable answers.

    Hello ,
    Data transfer process (DTP) to transfer data within BI from one persistent object to another object, in accordance with certain transformations and filters. In this respect, it replaces the data mart interface and the InfoPackage. As of SAP NetWeaver 7.0, the InfoPackage only loads data to the entry layer of BI (PSA).
    The data transfer process makes the transfer processes in the data warehousing layer more transparent. Optimized parallel processing improves the performance of the transfer process (the data transfer process determines the processing mode). You can use the data transfer process to separate delta processes for different targets and you can use filter options between the persistent objects on various levels. For example, you can use filters between a DataStore object and an InfoCube.
    Data transfer processes are used for standard data transfer, for real-time data acquisition, and for accessing data directly.
    1.Benefit: Data ‘Distribution’within BI Capabilities (from PSA or InfoProviders to InfoProviders)
    2.Improved transparency of staging processes across data warehouselayers (PSA, DWH layer, ODS layer, Architected Data Marts)
    3.Improved performance and high scalability
    4.Separation of delta mechanism for different data targets: delta capability is controlledby the DTP
    5.Enhanced filtering in dataflow
    6.Repair modus based on temporary buffers (buffers keep complete set of data)

  • Whats the diff between express and pro??

    Just wondering what the main diff between the two are. I've used pro at school, but cant afford to get it at home. Will i still be able to use the same audio instruments like the same synths and plug ins??? Also, would i be able to run the program on a mac mini (top of the line)?

    Matt Mac 63, "Whats the diff between express and pro??" #5, 10:33pm Oct 18, 2005 CDT
    All I was saying is that if a person can afford to get Pro, they definitely should. The difference in features adds up to at least the difference in price, if not very much more.
    Having said that, Express is good value compared to most other DAW software at that pricepoint, but it is only intended as a 'Lite' version.
    Some examples, off the top of my head, of differences not made really clear in the comparison list.
    Input Objects:
    In Pro you can use Input Objects to monitor incoming signal without rec-enabling a track. That doesn't sound much, on the face of it, but what it means is you can use external FX units (hardware) as inserts in tracks (or busses) just like plugins, and bounce them with the mix. it also means you acn monitor what you are playing into Logic Pro with plugin FX applied, but record dry so you can hear your guitar with the reverb, or whatever, but still have the recorded dry signal so you can change the FX settings later.
    Pro has some very handy environment objects. The main one being the Trabsformer object. But also another extremely useful object is TouchTracks.
    If you've ever played with Ableton Live you would have noticed you can triger clips with the keyboard in all different ways (loop, gate loop, one shot etc.) Well TouchTracks does that with MIDI regions.(I have a feeling that feature in Live was modeled after Logic's TouchTracks' as it is incredibly similar.)
    They are only a few examples of a whole range of differences. If all the differences were itemized in the 'comparison chart' it would be about 3 pages long.
    All I am saying is, don't take the comparison chart as the definitive list of differences.
    yes, Express is a good basic tool and you can do a lot with it, with some imagination.
    The SOS author's claim that:
    you're paying less than a third of the price of Logic Pro and getting over 90 percent of the functionality."
    is not true in totality.
    It may be true to someone who has never dabbled in audio software before, because it takes literally years to become fully conversant with every function in Logic Pro, and no-one uses absolutely everything.
    But for serious users, who have big demands, in my opinion, Express is less than 30% of Pro's functionality.

    what is diff between billing and invoice?
    From the help for cash order, it says that the invoice will print immediately after order created, the billing will be done seperately by transaction after delivery. Can anyone explain more detail.
    =================
    based on ur query.. Billing and Invoice are one and the same.. the difference is that in general business terminology Billing means the process of crediting the customer to the certain sum of money either by cash or credit, for the goods or services purchased by him... this process consists of many other documents like credit note, debit note, invoice, etc. 
    Invoice is the Printed format of the Bill ie, the sum of amount the customer is credited is made available in the printiable format....
    dont get confused by the Billing and Invoice words.. in simple way invoice is one of the documents generated during the billing process.. Billing is a process which consists of various different documents which are generated depending on the business requirements...
    Reward if USeful
    Thanx & regards.
