Color not accurate after render...

I'm not sure if i have some settings that are wrong or my color grades are 'bad' but after I do my color grading and then render it back to FCP, or just watch it as a QT movie, the color of the clips are not the same as what is shown on the scope.
Its never a huge difference, with the project I am working on now the clips seem to always come out redder... and slightly darker/contrasty. There are other differences with other clips too.
Exporting as Apple ProRes 244 HQ
IPF: 8-bit (Not to sure what this is thought)
If anyone can inform me if this is normal or just some advice on the matter please

I expect you are doing your color work on the same monitor as your editing display, so you're wondering how the same clip can look different when played back in different applications. COLOR does not obey Quicktime ColorSync settings (with onboard GPUs) and is set up to deliver media appropriate for broadcast or digital cinema.
Depending on your various OS settings (Snow Leopard is the only OS to standardize a gamma 2.2 Rec709-like space across its platform), once you exit COLOR, your Quicktime movies will be once again subject to whatever "calibration" tweaks OSX has decided it needs to apply for display on your monitor, whatever it might be. There are also oddities in re-scaling and re-mapping between different Quicktime codecs that is a source of confusion among applications.
Not knowing any other details, its not possible to make any more than a general statment.

  • XZ-1 Orange color not accurate?

    Hi,
    I just searched the forum, nobody seems to raise this issue yet.
    I have an Olympus XZ-1, after I use Lightroom 6.4 RC for a few days, I realize that the orange color developed in RAW is noticibly different from the Jpeg color. At beginning, I thought was a difference due to the saturation and special "olympus color".
    But after a careful examination, I realize the olympus color is accurate compares to the real thing, the RAW seems a bit off.
    I took an example to illustrate this.
    This is the JPEG version, notice the cap of the creme is orange. This color looks very close to the real thing.
    This is developed in Lightroom with default setting, the cap looks yellowish.
    The difference is quite huge, I need to set the yellow hue to -60 to roughly match the jpeg.
    Just for an extra confirmation, the one above is developed from RAW using the default setting of Capture One. The cap color looks the same as the JPEG and the real thing.
    This happens in all kind of lighting situations, might not be the white balance problem.
    Can anyone have a look into this? The orange just looks like yellow.
    Regards,
    Luke

    With the Adobe Standard profile, Adobe's job is not trying to duplicate camera processing in P mode as you say.  It is going for a look that is consistent across all the camera brands and models it has dealt with over the years, and historically probably geared toward commercial magazine and catalog print output where clothing colors being correct for the end consumer are the most important, so using Adobe Standard probably won't produce images like the in-camera JPGs.
    For Canon and Nikon cameras and a very few others, Adobe makes some effort to replicate in-camera JPG processing with additional "camera-match" profiles.  Because your camera is from a less common manufacturer, Adobe has chosen not to produce camera-matching profiles for it, and you're left to beg from others or create your own with third-party color-targets and software.
    You will find that producing your own color profiles with an x-rite color checker passport may also not match the in-camera JPG, since you're not involving JPGs in the process, only RAWs converted to DNG.  But it should make the colors look more correct as far as the original scene, to the extent that using a 18-color-patches + 6 grays can cover the full spectrum of color, and this correctness may or may not be right for a particular scenario.
    I helped with a wedding last summer and dutifully took a few shots of the color checker at various points in the church to get the mixture of daylight, artificial light, and a touch of multi-colored stained-glass coloring things here and there.  However, I ended up using Adobe's Camera-Standard (camera-match) profile for my Canon DSLR, because my own custom profiles brightened the colors too much.
    Specifically, the church had neutral-colored walls along the sides, and various colors of artificial high-pressure lighting overhead, and one set of bulbs in particular had an ugly yellowish cast, so wherever this artificial lighting was close to the wall, there was a yellowish area compared to the more bluish diffused daylight elsewhere.  For this particular shoot, it was more important to minimize the saturation of this ugly yellow area than it was the have all the colors correct.
    I was able to almost neutralize the yellowish areas by selective HSL adjustments in LR where by using the Camera-Standard profile there was less of this color to remove so it was easier.  Had I not taken so many pictures, and had more time to experiment, I might have found a set of tweaks to the RGB adjustment sliders beneath my own custom profile would have also minimized the yellowish area, but I spent my time perfecting various things for each photo, rather than perfecting the color profile for all of them.  In this photoshoot, having the correct colors was less important than having pleasing photos.
    Most of my photos are natural scenes, outdoors so I almost always prefer my own custom profile(s) for these.

  • Creating PDF from Word 2010 and Acrobat X Colors Not Accurate

    I'm puzzled by this one.
    When we print the documents directly from Word 2012 the colors print correctly.
    When we use the one click button in the ribbon. PNG files convert well, Illustrator EPS files do not. We use a logo that has Pantone Process Blue and it turns aqua.
    I have tries many different setting and none convert correctly. I can make nice small files of these brochures for use on the internet, but the color is not good.
    If I use the File Print to Acrobat then it converts the colors well, but the files are larger. Trying to reduce the file size as a second step does not change the file size.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Though, I'm unclear at 'when I go to print it, it blows up from about 50KB to 10MB' but could you please check the file size of the PDF soon after conversion? You can find it under File->Properties->General Tab. It shouldn't automatically increase the file size at the time of printing.
    Would you be able to attach the file (if it's not confidential)?

  • Apple Studio 17" Display colors not right after thunderstorm

    Noticed this afternoon, after a thunderstorm, that my 17" Apple Studio Display was not displaying colors correctly. All windows are reversed - white background is now black and text is white. Also photos look like 35mm negatives. My blue Apple standard background is now orange. I checked the Display section in the System Preferences and did the ColorSync calibration and troubleshooting (verify and repair). None of this has any affect. Any suggestions?

    Try Control-Command-Option-8
    or select "Black on White" in the "Seeing" tab of "Universal Access" system preference.

  • Photoshop Vista Nvidia - color management issues - working colors not accurate

    Today I updated Vista and the NVidia 3300 driver got upgraded as well. Earlier today, everything was working great with colors within Photoshop. After the update, my colors in Photoshop (and Illustrator) are shifted brown. My grey scale has varying degrees of brown. Reinstalled NVidia drivers without success. All other colors on desktop and other programs (Flash included) are fine. Also, a bizarre thing is when I prep a file for the web, the colors look good.
    Please help!
    Thanks! Chris

    The NVidia desktop system is an invasive piece of bloatware, so I usually
    remove it, being careful to leave the latest video driver in place.
    Two possibilities -
    1) the NVidia driver update included a profile. To verify this, go into
    Start>Settings>Display>Advanced>Color Mgmt. and verify that the profile
    selected there is the one you had before. If you are not sure what was
    there before, add sRGB and select it as the monitor's default profile.
    2) the NVidia driver is loading the LUT at startup time.
    If you have calibrated your system, any combination of these two will throw
    things off. If you have not calibrated, then the problem is more likely to
    be #1 above.

  • Raw Conversion: Colors not accurate. Correction with profile?

    Hi,
    When I create JPGs from my Raw files, the results don't look natural. Some colors have more saturation, some less. For example, the colors of the KoMi A series look somehow dirty; the reds of the Maxxum 5D seem to be oversaturated (dark reds are to bright, brown faces look rather pinkish).
    This is in comparison to the orignal objects, to the JPGs generated from the KoMi Raw converter and to the in-camera JPGs.
    Since Lightroom has tremendous color tuning options (under HSL and Color), I wonder whether a camera-specific profile can make the colors more natural. Has anybody tried for the KoMi cameras? Can anybody share a profile?
    I don't have a color checker, so this would be a tough one for me. I tried a bit, but whenever one color seemed right, another color had become worse.
    Here is my equipment:
    Cameras: Konica Minolta A2, Minolta A1, Konica Minolta Maxxum 5D.
    Other: My room has fluorescent tubes of type 950 (5000K, highest quality, Philips Graphica Pro) or of course daylight from outside. My screen is calibrated using ColorPlus hardware. I used a grey card for most of my photos. JPGs viewed with IMatch (color-profile aware).
    Regards,
    Martin

    Hallo Uli,
    there are two aspects of the color deviation:
    1. Displaying colors in LR
    This is what you are addressing in the other thread. I can confirm this behavior, but let's not touch this matter here.
    2. Raw conversion
    This is what I am talking about in this post. The effect is actually larger than the display deviation.
    Regards,
    Martin

  • Printer quality/colors not accurate since installing Yosemite

    I recently upgraded to OS 10.10, Yosemite. I can no longer get accurate colors printed for photos from Photoshop. I have Photoshop CS4 and I use an Epson Stylus Photo R2400 printer. I am able to use Photoshop for everything but printing accurately. I downloaded all recommended drivers for the printer, reloaded profiles for the printer and even tried a trial of Photoshop CC. Nothing resolves the problem. My prints look kind of solarized. Black and white photos have green areas where there should be black. Please help.

    Try resetting the printing system.

  • TextEdit BG color not accurate

    I've used various Apple tools for years in web designing. Recently I noticed that the Color Chart in TextEdit has a gray that is not what it claims to be. I first noticed this when I was attempting to blend some typed words and backgrounds. Specifically, under Web Safe colors in TextEdit, the GRAY labelled CCCCCC reads as D6D6D6 if you check it with the Digital Color Meter in Apple Utilities. (See jpeg of reading). It is slightly lighter than the true CCCCCC. Thus it doesn't blend when used as a background. Any ideas why this happens?

    I expect you are doing your color work on the same monitor as your editing display, so you're wondering how the same clip can look different when played back in different applications. COLOR does not obey Quicktime ColorSync settings (with onboard GPUs) and is set up to deliver media appropriate for broadcast or digital cinema.

  • Spotlight Storage not accurate after encryption

    I am wondering if I am doing anything wrong here. I have encrypted my drive using FileVault 2 on my MacBook Pro. I have also cleared the Spotlight and had it reindexed using the proper terminal commands. After the computer doing its thing for an hour or so and finished with the index, I am having a problem with it showing the proper allocation of files.
    Is anyone else having this issue? How do you fix it?
    Thank you

    Welcome to the HP Forums  MillaMagia,
    I see by your post that the USB isn't being recognized.
    I can help you with this issue.
    Are you using the same USB cable? (known good USB cable)
    You want to use the normal USB slot 2.0 cable and not the latest USB 3.0.
    USB 3.0 are supposed to be backwards compatible.
    Try another USB port on the Laptop, some of the USB ports are more powered then others.
    I have provided a document to see if the printer is partially recognized in the device manager, which is causing the printer not to be recognized again. (the uninstall from the CD should have removed the entry and the printer from the registry)
    Leave the printer turned on and the USB cable connected directly to the computer and the printer's power cord directly into a wall outlet.
    How do I get into Windows Device Manager?
    Here is a document for Identifying problems in Windows Device Manager.
    Check to see if there are any hardware driver conflicts, you might see a ! mark or a red x beside a device with a conflict or unknown device, look under universal serial bus controllers, look for USB printing support or mass storage device, delete the entry by right clicking and select uninstall, OK.
    Let me know how it was listed. (screen shots welcome)
    If this is a Laptop then check the power management settings.
    Access the device manager. Windows 8-How do I access the Device Manager.
    Select universal serial bus controllers from the list, for each USB root hub, right click and left click on properties, for power management remove the check mark for "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power". It allows the computer to limit or turn off power for this device.
    Disconnect the USB, run the full uninstall and reinstall the printer software again.
    If you need further assistance, let me know.
    Have a nice day!
    Thank You.

  • When i print out a color photo the colors are not accurate

    I have a new envy110 series CQ811A. I have a windows 7 64-bit laptop. There are no error messages and the Envy works great but when i print a picture off of a web site the colors are not accurate and i mean none of them. i have returned one printer already but this one is doing the same thing. i really like this printer but if it won't print the colors correctly  i don't know what i will do. I also have a HP C4280 All In One Photo Smart and whatever is printed off the colors are great it just is not wireless. I have tried everything and nothing helps. Is there a solution

    Hi easyneez5!
       Sorry to hear it's not printing web pages so well.
     I do have a suggestion, that may or may not align with the way your are used to printing web pages; HP has a new and improved application for printing web page content; HP Smart Print.
       It's supported on IE (most versions) and can do some neat tricks: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/partner/microsoft/bing-bar-for-hp/smart-print.html
      There are also other potential 'tweaks' you can try in the [Printing Preferences] / [Advanced]: Image Color Managment; You might try setting it from 'ICM Handled by Host System' (default) to 'ICM Handled by Printer' or even 'ICM Disabled'.
       Again, this is merely a potential way to check to see if this helps get those colors right; and remember your settings before you change them.
      Hope this helps

  • Render engine does not stop after reaching 100%

    It looks like to me that the render engine does not stop after reaching 100%. It does not affect the rendered file which is fine and complete
    -the Pause and Stop buttons are displayed but have no effect on pausing or stoping the render
    -when I want to quit SG, it locks up and have to Force Quit to get out of it.
    I really like the program though and hope you are going to fine tune the UI and make it look like After Effect and Premiere.
    I would encourage you to instaure round tripping between these two apps and SG.
    It would be nice to have curves as well.
    Thanks guys

    Could you open the defaultTrace.X.trc files and check for the errors?
    Good from my point of view is to make a search if those files for some stack traces with the string ".dsr."

  • Render Times on FCP Not Accurate?

    Hi, <- My casual Greeting
    Hopefully there are a few video editors out there on the forum... cause this one is program specific....
    So I have been an avid Final Cut Pro guy for the last 4 years. I love the program.... I can work very easily in it but recently I got a new job in which I have been using both FCP and Adobe Premier.
    Here is my issue... I have been using files that come in as MPEG 2 and have been using MPEG Streamclip to convert them over to a ProRes file for FCP. From FCP I have had to export them into 3 formats
    1. Mpeg 4 (the file format our website takes)
    2. FLV (Format for online video sites)
    3. QuickTime (XDCAM) for our tricaster
    The last week I have been using FCP and my render times have been (for a 5 min clip)
    1. Mpeg 1 hour+
    2. FLV 20 min+
    3. QuickTime (XDCAM) 1 hour +
    Yesterday I was told to use Premier as my boss uses Premier on a regualr basis and I assured him that the times would be the same as FCP is a Mac native program and that Premier was made to work on a mac but is essentially a PC program (I am eating my words now)...
    I redid the renders on the same file...
    On premier the render times were
    1. Mpeg 30+ min
    2. FLV 12 min
    3. QuickTime (XDCAM) 40 min
    Why is this? Do I just have something really messed up in my settings that FCP is not rendering quickly and Premier is? I would hate to have to hop over to Premier... I enjoy using FCP way to much.
    The other question I have is why are FCP render times not accurate...
    The renders will start saying 5 min then 10 then an hour etc.... and the time will not be accurate. If it says 5 min it may go for an hour... or if it says an hour it may just complete while still telling me I have an hour to wait.
    Adobe Premier, right off the bat, will tell me the frame it is on and the percent and time left... almost to the T.
    If possible... please help me get my fcp back on the right track.
    Tim

    Rendering can be much faster if you have a multi core intel Mac and you use Qmaster with Quick Clusters.
    Here's how.
    Set up Quick Clusters in Qmaster. (A description of how to do this is in the manual and also can be found in the Qmaster forum here in the Apple discussions as well as out on the web.)
    Export your sequence from FCP using "current settings". (Do NOT use Quicktime Conversion!)
    Open up Compressor and submit your file. Add the three output elements.
    Submit the file and click "use unmanaged services"
    Go have a cup of coffee while all the cores chug away at things. I guarantee it will be faster than the way you are currently exporting (if you aren't using clusters)

    The following line tells me that this is not a template file, but a document created from a template called index.dwt
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><!-- InstanceBegin template="/Templates/index.dwt" codeOutsideHTMLIsLocked="false" -->
    This means that you saved a child document as a template file at some stage.
    If you go to Modify->Templates->Detach from Template, you can remove the template structure from your document. All you then need to do is to re-save the document as a template.
