Color shift between image viewed in ACR and open in PS

Today I updated Photoshop CC and now I have a slight color shift problem between the same image open in ACR and then opened in Photoshop. It appears to be slightly more saturated in ACR.
I have tried the same thing on another computer and it does NOT have the same problem so it must have been something that happened in the update (ACR was one of the items updated). I have also compared the preferences between the two computers and they are identical.
I guess the next thing to do is to deinstall PS and reinstall????
Any advice would be appreciated.

Any difference between ACR and Photoshop is most likely due to a monitor profile problem. They both use the same monitor profile, but there are differences in the actual conversion so a problem can show up differently between them.
Is your monitor calibrated/profiled, and if so how, using what calibrator? Or are you using the Windows default (sRGB), or perhaps you got a bad manufacturer profile through Windows Update? (yes, that happens frequently).
To find out if the monitor profile is indeed the problem, go to Control Panel > Color Management > Devices. Set sRGB IEC61966-2.1 as default profile (if it isn't already), then relaunch Photoshop/Bridge and see if the difference is still there. If your monitor is wide gamut, use Adobe RGB instead.
Note that this doesn't fix the problem as such, but if you don't have a calibrator sRGB will usually be close enough until you decide to get one.
If you do have and use a calibrator, make sure it is set to make v2 profiles, not v4, and matrix rather than LUT profiles.

  • Color shift between viewer and browser after pro kit update

    hi there,
    i thought i be one of the lucky guys since updating and running 3.0.1 was easy on my system. but after yesterdays pro kit update i experience a weird color shift between the look of pictures in the browser and viewer.
    there is a strong colorshift in orange parts of sundown pictures. they turn magenta in the viewer but stay orange in the browser. the difference can easily be seen in the split screen. even weirder if i export a picture from the vier/split screen the exported files show the magenta tint. if i export them from the browser, they have the "right" orange tint.
    this happens with raw-files from both d200 and d70. also exportet the raw and processed it with ps cs3 and everything was ok. anyone got a clue?
    thanx in advance

    just found the explanation. after my prokit update, all raw-files needed to be reprocessed and then i needed to select the standard apple camera module for the d200. that was quite tricky and i don't understand why something like this happens. why do all files need to be reprocessed and than afterwards you would have to manually select the apple standard converter and why did the viewer look different than the browser and why is there no warning module that tell you all files will have to be reprocessed?

  • Color shift between Library and Develop module

    Hi,
    I recently noticed a color shift between in the image when going from the library to the develop module. Yes, I know this is mentioned in the FAQ, but I did not find the solutions given there to be satisfactory.
    Let me explain what happens: I have taken Photos with my Canon EOS 300D, in Jpeg mode with Color Space in the Camera set to AdobeRGB. The photos I am talking about were taken with Tungsten light with auto white balance and have a distinct orange color cast. I use Windows XP and view my Photos on a LCD Display calibrated with the Pantone Huey system. The Lightroom Library Module and Photoshop CS2 both display the original image almost identically (there are no changes applied inside Lightroom or Photoshop, I view the original image in both applications). Photoshop is set to use the Adobe RGB Color space as its working Color space, Softproofing is switched off. However, when I switch to the Develop Module, the colors (especially the orange hues) shift very noticably toward pink. I can only assume that the Colorspace conversion or maybe some implicit soft proof used differs between the modules. So, to restate the problem: If I switch back and forth between Library and Develop, without changing anything and in 1:1 view to avoid errors introduced by different zooming methods, the colors shift quite drastically back and forth.
    I have to say that this is really quite annoying. The whole point for me to use the develop module is to use it to make adjustments to the colors, and for this to work properly I have to see the same colors in both modules and in Photoshop. There is no point in correcting a pink color cast away in Develop that is not even there in either the library module or Photoshop (and that would then have a stronger orange tint because I tried to counter the pink tint in develop).
    So this leads me to the final question: Is it possible to tell Develop to use the exact same color settings as the Library Module? Or is there another way to compensate for the color shift?
    I hope I was clear in what happens and what I tried to do. If it helps I can gladly provide a sample photograph that clearly illustrates the point.
    Thank you in advance for your help,
    Daniel

    Thanks for your comments, Don and Fred. I hope that this issue will be worked on soon.
    Fred, I have set the Preview Quality to High, but it doesn't seem to make any differences concerning the color shift. I have investigated this matter further by now and made the following observations:
    *The color shift is a lot less noticable on my laptop (the laptop screen is also color profiled). On my laptop the change is more of a subtle shift in contrast than in color. This might be caused by the smaller color gammut of my laptop display though.
    *I have uploaded a testimage so that others can check if this shift occurs at their workstations too - after all, it might be a misconfiguration of my color management software, though I doubt that (because Adobe already states that library and develop render different previews). I would be interested if the color shift I describe is noticable at other workstations too. The link to the testimage: http://www.danyx.com/colorshift.jpg (permission to use the image to test the color reproduction is of course granted hereby).
    Thanks for your help, I hope Adobe will listen soon,
    Daniel

  • Color shift between Develop Module and other modules in Lr 5.7.1

    Hello,
    I'm getting a color shift between the devolop module and any other module in Lr.
    It's a recent problem that I've been experiencing since the last update.
    I'm using Lr as part of the Adobe Photographers Bundle in a Windows 8.1 pro.
    Below I have an example for the kind of color shift i'm seeing. The image on the left is from the Devolop Mobule and the one on the right is form the Library Module.
    Is this happening to any one else? Does any one know why?
    I would appreciate any help.

    Gautam is correct in that the preview mechanism isn't the same in Develop and the other modules and, you must view the color in Develop at 1:1 to see an accurate preview. The color space is different that's probably why you see this difference in reds (especially if you use a wide gamut display).
    IF you build your own ICC profiles for your display, be sure the software is not building a V4 (version 4) profile, stick with V2.
    As for exporting and comparing, be sure the secondary application is color managed! Otherwise it's expected that there is a visual disconnect between LR and that app.

  • Big Color Shift between exported H264 mp4 and Program Monitor

    I get a big Color Shift between exported H264 mp4 on Vimeo/Youtube and Quicktime X and Program Monitor.
    There are quite a few posts on Quicktime gamma issues, but there seem to be no solutions and the other editors I know don't seem to have this problem.
    I know there will be a bit of a shift but this is MASSIVE. At the moment I add a whole extra adjustment layer to all my clips to get it approximately right, but ofcourse this does not solve the issue nor does it give proper results.
    Please do not reply with the "You need a real reference monitor via SDI etc etc ..."
    By my logic on the same screen the program monitor should resemble what is going to be the final result in a relevant player like Quicktime X which all normal apple consumers use to watch their films.  I know VLC and Mpeg streamclip gives different results, but mostly when playing Quicktime/h264 files Quicktime will play it thus average users ( the people I'd like to downwload/buy my films )will watch it in Quicktime.
    Furthermore, Quicktime X's gamma/color looks very similar to the image I get on Youtube or Vimeo - which is where all my current work is going. I'm not outputting to boradcast or DVD etc.
    Strangely enough the MPEG 2 stuff I've done for DVD matches the Youtube output with the Program monitor.
    What am I doing wrong?
    I have a Dell 2711 wide Gamut Display which is calibrated with an SPyder 3 Elite using its full colour gamut ( close to 90% of Adobe RGB - thus bigger than sRGB or Rec709) Could Premiere be ignoring the calibration in the Program monitor and making the image values 16-235 and then Quicktime uses all  values 0-255? If so, how can I fix this?
    Any help will be much appreciated!

    I know this has been a while so hopefully you found some help by now, but maybe this will help anyone stumbling across this.
    What people seem to be missing in what you are asking is... this is the same file, on the same monitor, but with a different appearance in different software.  It is not a question of whether the overall monitoring is GOOD, and it is not a matter of hardware settings (as that would most likely propogate across all software) it is that it is not CONSISTENT side by side on the very same monitor.
    I had very similar issues that really seemed to get worse when we got new monitors, which is what lead me to chime in here.  The monitors were also wide gamut displays.
    The problem is likely this...
    1. The difference being shown are the difference between software that properly color manages (i.e. Premier or After Effects) and software that does not (i.e. Quicktime or some web browsers)
    2. The reason it is so severe is that the wide gamut monitors are able to show many more colors and thus the difference between the managed and unmanaged software is much more exagerrated than on regular gamut monitors.
    I found this great link that helped calm my nerves and helped me get handle on much of what is going on.
    http://www.artstorm.net/journal/2009/07/color-management-wide-gamut-dell-2408/
    Now that is not to say that the 0-255/16-235 issue is not also involved here.  It is definitely possible that a specific codec or compressor is part of the problem, but it sounds like it starts with the color management issue first.
    I hope this helps.

  • Color shift between play and pause

    Hello,
    On CC 7.0 and 7.1, I noticed there is an important color shift between pausing and playing my timeline when using "CineForm Visually Perfect" encoded source material.
    This is especially noticeable on reds.
    Using other codecs, there is no such shift.
    My video card is a Geforce 650M. At first, I thaught it might be related to the video overlay settings of the card, but there are no such settings in the control panel.
    Besides, using Quicktime to play the source produces no shift as well.
    As I am often doing color correction using Premiere, and as I have dropped Avid exactly because I always had this same problem (when using a profiled calibrated screen), I would like to know precisely what is going on. As I'm regularly producing shows for broadcast, it is a real problem not to be sure whether what you see matches the final exported output in all circumstances.
    NB : For the need of searching the cause of this problem I disabled any custom profiling of my screen.
    Thanks ! for any answers.
    Fred

    Sure and thanks. But nevertheless, if you color correct using a calibrated screen, and produce for the web ; or if you do a first pass of color correction before the ultimate pass happens with a "properly calibrated TV", wouldn't you like that your paused frame would look like your playing frame ?

  • Significant color shift between FCP and COLOR?

    Hi there,
    I get a significant color shift when sending footage - either adjusted or unadjusted/unmodified - from FCP to COLOR.
    Before anyone asks, the color shift is visible both internally or on an external broadcast preview monitor.
    From within COLOR, I 'send' back to FCP this sequence - which is still without any form of adjustment (apart from being sent to COLOR), the apparent color shift is now visible/added to the imported sequence (from Color).
    I've tried this on three separate Macs:
    1. The Mac above (6.0.6). (Leopard)
    2. A Mac with the same version of FCP as above. (Snow Leopard)
    3. FCP and on a third Mac with an earlier version of FCP. (Leopard)
    Does everyone have the same problem?
    If not, does anyone have a solution?
    Cheers,
    Dan
    PS: I've tried:
    FCP > Color ProRes contrast shift
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2150962&tstart=75

    I had the same problem except that I am using version 1 of color and Final Cut Pro 6. I isolated just the video and double checked that I had no filters or if I did I turned them off. I had a smooth cam filter on one shot, but that didn't effect it. I was then able to send it to color without issue, once I had no sound or filters or transitions messing up the pass between final cut and color. Try doing the same, just duplicate or copy your timeline to a new timeline. I would have rendered your footage out to ProRes however as using the DVC Pro codec is probably not ideal. Color also only works with actual full raster files, not so good going from HDV or DVC Pro as they have an anamorphic frame size. This may be causing issues also.

  • JPEG color shifts occur when viewed in different programs

    Hi All,
    I'm having difficulty exporting JPEG documents that display consistently between programs.  Windows image viewer and Microsoft Office shift colors drastically when my exported images are viewed within them. 
    What's going on here?  I'm exporting as a maximum quality JPEG and have tried a number of color profile settings when saving the documents.  Embedded Color Profile, Convert to sRGB, etc.

    If the image has been converted to sRGB and saved with the profile embedded but is displayed inconsistently then I suppose there might be a problem with the screen profile but otherwise the problem would lie with the other applications’ missing or imprudent Color Management (policies).

  • Color differences between Camera RAW 6.2 and Photoshop CS5

    Hi,
    I have got two problems:
    Everytime I open a raw file in Camera Raw, the picture is a bit darker than in Photoshop. The difference is very annoying...
    and, apart from that,
       2. The pictures in Adobe Bridge look much more saturated and darker than in Camera RAW or Photoshop. The result of my research was, that I have to go to "Edit -> Bridge Color Pre-Settings" and choose the right color-management. But when I klick on the button, it says that the function is something like deactivated. Someone said, I have to buy the entire Creative Suite to activate this function? Is that true?
    The color profile I work with: sRGB
    I already updated Bridge, Camera RAW and Photoshop. But the problem still exists...
    Does anyone know the problems and may help me?
    Thanks a lot!
    -Aldo

    Thanks for your replies.
    A few minutes ago I calibrated my display again. Now, the difference between ACR and Photoshop seems to be even greater.
    When the calibration was finished, the software offered a before/after-button (Before and after calibration). The "Before-image" was much more dark than the "after-image". Just as dark as the photo is in ACR(!).
    Maybe there's a connection. I think Photoshop uses the right profile (the profile generated by the Spyder2Express), but ACR uses some different wrong profile.
    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}

    Hmm, they should be the same.
    How did you calibrate your display?  Where did the display profile come from?
    The profile called "Spyder2express.icm" was saved in C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color

  • Color Shift when Changing view mode

    Hi,
    I'm using a dual monitor setup and CS5 64bit on Windows 7. I have all my images on one monitor and all my palettes on the other. When I press f to switch the screen mode from tabbed image windows to fullscreen, the colors shift horribly to much darker, redder colors.

    I can only assure you that this doesn't happen on every system.
    Did you try changing OpenGL to Basic mode, as I suggested?
    Is the image in Lab mode (not RGB)?  I recall some reports very early after the release of Photoshop CS5 that Lab mode images were being displayed differently under different circumstances.

  • Color .jpg/.gif images in the .CHM and true (4BPP/8BPP) grayscale in Printed Output?

    I do all my document creation in RH first, then output
    WinHelp and to Word 2003. I want to keep color images in the CHM
    and have a majority of the images become true monochrome grayscale
    in the Word doc.
    Yes, Word does have a nifty "grayscale" optopn for each
    image, but it leaves the color "channels" (24BPP) and so our color
    copier still prints page using all CYMK colors (and it never seems
    to get "true" grays anyway...)
    If I could somehow get monochrome grayscale images in RH,
    where there is already color ones - I could save as "monochrome"
    and "color" outputs.
    Any ideas, hints, batch files, suggestions or comments?
    Thank you!

    On second thought... it's the Fiery controller in the copier
    that's doing all the deciding on what's what, and unfortunately
    "that's not my department", so at this point, the question here is
    moot - it's not a RH issue.

  • Bad color in still images in a project directly opened in Sg CC from Pr CC

    I'm working on a project in Pr CC mixing videos footages and still images both from the same DSLR (Nikon D800e).
    In Pr no problem (still image in the source monitor, video in the program monitor):
    When I send this project directly to Sg CC by the new "Direct link", I find that in Sg
    Where is the problem (and the solution )?

    The email I received was strictly regarding my post being deleted. I have not heard anything in reference to the RAW 2.0 problem.
    Here is a comparison of the same image. One exported from Aperture and the other opened in ACR and saved as a JPG.
    http://www.uberfoto.com/images/misc/temp/colorclipAP-ACR.jpg
    http://www.uberfoto.com/images/misc/temp/colorclip_AP-ACRzoom.jpg
    Another thing I noticed is that Aperture preview generator does not clip the color data like the raw converter does. Previews created after image adjustments retain their color in the shadows while the full composite view displays in monochrome. This is an image I took in the studio where the PW died and the flash didn't pop so it was very dark. The original image was nearly all black with no discernible details until I pulled the exposure back up. The ACR conversion looks nearly identical (discarding small differences in brand interpretation) to the "Preview" in AP2.0.

  • Color shift between Ai and the web ... again

    Hi there,
    Classic problem again ... color never seems to let me rest in peace
    Well, I copied colors hex numbers from this palette
    http://www.colourlovers.com/palette/2077685/Stargazer
    When I fill 5 squares in Illustrator, each one with the palette's colors, the 2nd (#592997) and the 3rd (#7208FE) are showing completely different in Illy (more magenta) than in Chrome (more blue).
    I need help here since :
    - my screen is calibrated (5 days ago with Spyder3)
    - the color profile in Ai is set to sRGB
    - the document color mode is set to RGB
    - as far as I know, Chrome supports color management & the palette comes from a site about color which I suppose does things right
    Is it the same for any of you if you try out ?
    Any idea about what's going on ?
    Thanks.
    (Sorry, it's being late, maybe I'm just tired & dizzy and just cannot see the evidence anymore )

    Oh good god !
    Did not know that !
    I am so used to work with my mac on Safari and here I am on a PC using Chrome & Firefox which were both completely off after checking.
    Apparently it is off by default in Firefox too.
    I had to go to G. Ballard's website to see that I needed to set the following parameters as such :
    gfx.color_management.enablev4 = true
    gfx.color_management.mode = 1
    And I also found that you can force Chrome to display according to the monitor's profile by using this trick

    Well, now everything seems ok.

  • New monitor/calibration; now colors won't display correctly in ACR and Elements

    Just got a new ASUS LCD monitor, and calibrated it with the Spyder 3 Express. 
    Now when I open a .CR2 file using Elements to edit the RAW image, the color is displayed as yellowy-gray and dull.  It looks the same when I pull it into Elements 7, unless I remove all color management (which, if I save the image, actually then renders the image colors neon and oversaturated with lots of pink and red tones).
    I also use Lightroom 3 and I am having the same problem there.  Upon import of either an edited Jpeg or a .CR2 RAW file, the color in Lightroom is displayed as dull, grayish yellowy-green. 
    If I export and view the very same image in GIMP, Picasa or on the web, as long as the colorspace is intact (sRGB), the color is accurate.  Not so in Elements or Lightroom.
    If you have experience with this problem is it the monitor, the calibration, or Elements and Lightroom.  I am beyond frustrated and need to see my colors properly.  I have not had this problem before.

    I don't use Spyder to calibrate my monitor; instead, I use the software and tool that X-Rite makes and it came with my NEC wide-gamut monitor. I suspect that the tools are similar.
    First, make certain that you're using your Spyder spectrometer and the accompanying software correctly. Although I consider myself relatively computer saavy, I find that I have to follow the instructions carefully.
    Then, calibrate your monitor so that the colors and brightness the monitor displays are correct for your printer setup. In my case, the tool uses ICC color standards to set the colors. And, I tell it I want the monitor's brightness to be 90 candelas per square meter (cd/m2), which is about the same brightness as a blank white piece of photo paper. With the monitor brightness set at 90 cd/m2, I avoid getting prints that are too dark. If you calibrate the monitor correctly, the colors should look good and you should have a white that looks white and a black that looks black - that is, you shouldn't have any colors that don't look right.
    Second, when you use Elements (PSE) or Lightroom (LR) to print, be sure to indicate that you want PSE or LR to control the colors and not the printer. It's very important, too, that you have the correct printer-paper profiles downloaded into the printer driver and that you select the correct paper profile. I have an Epson 3880 printer and I use Epson papers (mostly); so, I tell PSE to use the profile that fits the paper I'm using - for example, Epson Premium Glossy. When I downloaded the printer driver into my computer, it also downloaded the Epson paper-printer profiles and they appear in the print dialog boxes used during the printing process. (Other paper manufacturers, such as Ilford, make profiles available for downloading on their website.)
    I hope this helps; if it doesn't let's go into some more.
