Color Space....of Lightroom...and Web Creation Page

Lightroom 2 on XP
Is there a place to set the working color space of lightroom?
I usually use sRGB because I produce for the web...but recently got images created in the Adobe RGB Color Space.
When I create Thumbnails and Enlarged Images in the HTML web gallery...are the images in the sRGB color Space by default possibly...Is there a way to manage this some way?
Thanks.

Forgot about this question:
>but recently got images created in the Adobe RGB Color Space.
Lightroom correctly understands attached profiles. Just take it in and export to sRGB jpegs, or use the web tool, which brings me to:
>When I create Thumbnails and Enlarged Images in the HTML web gallery...are the images in the sRGB color Space by default possibly...Is there a way to manage this some way?
Lightroom does the right thing and always uses sRGB in the web galleries.

  • Color spaces in Lightroom and Photoshop

    I read that Lightroom uses the large ProPhoto color Space and then again, that it's gamma curve ist close to sRGB. So what is my color space when working in Lightroom? ProPhoto, or sRGb, or something else?
    And what kind of a color management workflow between Photoshop and Lightroom do you advocate? Using ProphotoRGB or sRGB as color work space in Photoshop? I used to work in AdobeRGB in Photoshop. Has this to be changed to gain maximum color consistency?
    Thanks again for any help!

    Hey Claude,
    if it did not have an attached profile it is almost definitely in sRGB or, more rarely, Apple RGB. Lightroom always assumes sRGB for untagged files which is typically a safe bet. Photoshop generally uses the working space for untagged images. Since you had adobeRGB there, you should get a more saturated image in photoshop then in Lightroom. The same data is simply interpreted in a different color space leading to different colors. This has nothing to do with the monitor profile therefore and my initial hunch was wrong. So for untagged images in photoshop, you should usually assign sRGB to them instead of working space.
    >As for calibration hardware we do use them here so I will use it but since the Mac was brand new out the box I assumed that it was ok...
    Unfortunately, in general the canned calibration is not very good on Macs. I find very large differences between the shipped profile and a profile generated by a calibrator. Also, Apple ships profiles that set your display's gamma to 1.8 instead of the standard 2.2. This leads to many images in webbrowsers being too low contrast. Even Apple suggests recalibrating your screen at 2.2 if you do digital photography work (it's in their Aperture help files). In this case though the difference between Lightroom and Photoshop had nothing to do with the monitor profile but was related to photoshop interpreting untagged files in its working space instead of the more likely sRGB space.

  • Grey colored space on right and bottom of Flex application

    Hi,
    I have a flex application that is integrated with SAP WD to be used as Flash Island.
    Yesterday I upgraded my Flash player from version 10_ax_debug to version 10.2.159.1.
    Since then I am getting grey colored space on right and bottom of application.
    Can you please tell me how do I get rid of it?
    Please refer to attached image (I have marked this grey empyt space by red-colored rectangle) .
    Thanks and regards,

  • Exporting photos for UHDTV or Native 4K TV, what are the best settings ? (File: Quality File: Color Space, Image Sizing and resolution)   Or in other words; How can I get the smallest files but keep good quality for display on new UHDTV

    Exporting photos for UHDTV or Native 4K TV, what are the best settings ? (File: Quality File: Color Space, Image Sizing and resolution)   Or in other words; How can I get the smallest files but keep good quality for display on new UHDTV

    You're welcome, and thank you for the reply.
    2) Yesterday I made the subclips with the In-Out Points and Command-U, the benefit is that I've seen the clip before naming it. Now I'm using markers, it's benefit is that I can write comment and (the later) clip name at once, the drawback is that I have to view to the next shot's beginning before knowing what the shot contains.
    But now I found out that I can reconnect my clips independently to the format I converted the master clip to. I reconnected the media to the original AVI file and it worked, too! The more I work with, the more I'm sold on it... - although it doesn't seem to be able to read and use the date information within the DV AVI.
    1) Ok, I tried something similar within FCE. Just worked, but the file size still remains. Which codec settings should I use? Is the export to DV in MOV with a quality of 75% acceptable for both file size and quality? Or would be encoding as H.264 with best quality an option for archiving, knowing that I have to convert it back to DV if I (maybe) wan't to use it for editing later? Or anything else?
    Thank's in advance again,

  • Color Differences between Lightroom and Premiere Pro

    I have been making color adjustments to movie clips in Photoshop or Lightroom (both of which do a great job), but when I bring the clips into Premiere Pro or Premiere Elements the colors are not the same as what I was seing in the other programs. It is as if the programs are using different color profiles. How do I resolve this problem?

    Photoshop and Lightroom are designed for still photography. Still photographers use a color managed workflow that in general ends in a paper print. Since printers/inks/papers can in general display a wider gamut than computer monitors can display, we use tools manage it, such as soft proofing. The efficient way to control this is through ICC profiles of the printer/ink/paper combinations, of which there are thousands. Thus Photoshop and Lightroom and other still photography tools are esentially required to be color managed.
    PPro and film/video have decidedly different requirements. The video workflow ends in a light source display (projection, HDTV, or web video, all are light sources, where a pigment ink print is a reflective source, which has entirely different characteristics). These end displays are not variable workspace displays. HDTV displays only in REC.709 workspace, its gamut, contrast, etc. are tightly defined. Web video uses the sRGB workspace. Etc.
    I'm just sayin' that still photography and video have very different requirements. Trying to force still photography methods onto a video workflow is bound to be difficult and full of problems, as you have found.
    The answer to your "How do I resolve this problem" question is perhaps to use the still photography tools for still photography, and the video tools for video. A stills workflow for stills, and a video workflow for video.
    A video workflow implies doing color correction and color grading on external monitors that natively support the target work space (Rec.709 in the case of HDTV, Blu-ray, or DVD output [OK, technically DVD uses SDTV's REC.601 work space, but 709 is "close enough" that you can get by in all but the most critical applications]). IOW, use a production monitor, or at least an HDTV (calibrated of course), to judge final output.
    Trying to color correct video on a computer monitor is just asking for trouble. As you well know by now.
    A good place to start learning the video way of things when it comes to color correction and grading is Alexis Van Hurkman's Color Correction Handbook. Highly recommended; it answered questions that I didn't know enough to ask yet. Might for you too, IDK.

  • Do I need to harmonize color space between LR and other photo editing programs.

    I perform the majority of my editing work in Lightroom.  However, I also use some 3rd party applications (e.g. Nik, OnOne, etc.) in addition to Photoshop for special editing, etc.  I've noticed that the default color space for each of these applications is different.  Some default to Adobe RGBb, other sRGB and still others Pro Photo RGB.  Should I be using the same color space and bit depth across all of these programs?  When I export from LR, should that color space be the same as everything else?  I have noticed that when I export some images and take them to a retail store based print service that the colors appear dull and drab.  I believe that is because those mass producing print services don't read the color space in the JPEG correctly.  Does any of this make sense, or am I way off?  Thanks for everyone's input and time.

    For your editing workflow, best is to keep the image in the same color space at all time. For final export you should convert to desiered space... for example sRGB for web, adobeRGB for print etc.

  • Color space from lightroom to flickr

    Can anyone help me with this question....having developed raw images in lightroom, I then may publish some of them on my flickr account.  When these images are exported directly from Lightroom to Flickr, are they automatically exported in sRGB?....especially considering that Lightroom is a ProPhoto RGB color managed application.  I ask this because I know that people may look @ my images in non-color managed web browsers, like Internet Explorer, and if the images are exported in the ProPhoto RGB color space, the image colors will render poorly on that non-color managed web browser.  Are they automatically exported in the web friendly sRGB??  Thanks for your comments:)

    Perhaps you could help me with another question.  I always shoot in raw and process using ProPhoto RGB throughout my entire workflow.  However, 5 years ago, I shot in Jpeg.  I couldn't tell you what colour space my camera was set to then.  When editing those JPEGS in Lightroom, in what colour space should I apply to those images when I send them over to Photoshop?  I know JPEGs already have a colour space applied, but the camera I used then is long gone and therefore can't remember if they were shot in sRGB or Adobe RGB.  Also, whatever colour space I do use when exporting from Lightroom to Photoshop, I should set up Photoshop's working colour space to match the image's profile, correct?  So, should I apply sRGB or Adobe RGB to my JPEGs when going from Lightroom to Photoshop??  Thanks:)

  • COLOR DISPLAY IN LIGHTROOM AND PHOTOSHOP

    Hi I am a new user of Lightroom but a longtime user of Photoshop.
    My question is this:
    When opening the exact same TIFF file in Lightroom and Photoshop CS3 is there a way to configure Lightroom so that it will display the image exactly like Photoshop ? I mean the difference that I get is not dramatic but if there is a way to make it perfect I would love to know.
    Thanks,

  • I need to synchronize color space between Bridge and PSCS3

    Hi--
    The only CS3 programs I am running are Bridge and PS. I like to work in Adobe RGB and maintain all my files in that color space. Consequently, I set that color space in PSCS3 (in
    Edit/Color Settings). However, for some reason I can't nail down, PS often seems to lose my preference and reverts to sRGB; when I re-set my working space to Adobe RGB, I am informed
    "Unsynchronized: Your Creative Suite applications are not synchronized for consistent color." I can't find the place where I can tell Bridge to use Adobe RGB color space. How can I resolve this?
    Thanks,
    --Ken

    I am having the same issue. It is frustrating because I am following a Lynda.com training video that talks about PS CS3 and Bridge basics. Included in that video is how to synchronize color between these two applications. Nowhere does it say that one needs to own a >$1000 full suite to be able to do this. Deke directs the viewer to the Edit menu of Bridge where you are supposed to enter the "creative suite color settings" menu. No such menu exists on my "el cheapo" version of Bridge CS3.

  • Color spaces in AWT and JAI

    Hi,
    I am trying to build a image editing application that
    supports color management. I am using Swing, AWT, and
    JAI 1.1.2. Unfortunately, the most recent tutorial I
    could find is about JAI 1.0.1, and a bit outdated.
    Does anybody know where I can find a newer tutorial?
    The problem I'm having is related to color spaces.
    I would like the user to select from a variety of
    color spaces like Adobe RGB, Bruce RGB, etc., etc.
    These spaces are not supported by default, so it
    seems, and I couldn't find a way to define them
    myself. Of course I want the TIFF/JPEG readers and
    writers to be able to recognize these spaces if their
    profiles are embedded, and to include these profiles
    when writing images.
    Any help or references?
    Thanks!

    Well, I have the same problem, sort of.
    You can get the jpeg profile from the EXIF information of the file (http://www.drewnoakes.com/code/exif/) so you at least know what is coming in. This will work for jpeg, not for tiff (I think).
    However, I didn't manage to find a way to create a buffered image for the right profile. You can create it as a default, which is sRGB, or as CS_LINEAR_RGB etc, but did not managed to get a straight correlation between the color space of the image and the ICC profile of the input.
    Than, I tried to use ColorConvertOp to convert from the input space to the output space, by using
    ColorConvertOp convert = new ColorConvertOp (srcCspace, dstCspace, new RenderingHints( RenderingHints.KEY_COLOR_RENDERING , RenderingHints.VALUE_COLOR_RENDER_QUALITY));
    But somehow the results when printed do not look correct.
    Didn't manage to find any good example on how to take in one space (like ADOBE RGB 1998) and put it in a PDF file so it will print in the exact color space (either directly, or by converting it to XYZ, whatever).
    Anyway, if you have any success here, I'll be happy to know...

  • External editor color space with Aperture and PSE 10?

    Hi all,
    I'm finally setting up Aperture to export to Photoshop Elements (10).  In the Aperture preferences, I'm asking it to export to PSE 10 as 16-bit TIFF files.  What color space should I indicate (if any)?  It's currently set to "no profile selected."  I'm not a professional; just an enthusiast.  I print on an Epson RX580 Photo Stylus printer, if that matters.
    I've searched on this forum and elsewhere, but haven't found a simple answer to this.  All suggestions gratefully accepted.  Thanks!

    Can I suggest you buy Philip Andrews book, Advanced Photoshop Elements 10.  he explains colour spaces and much much more very clearly and exactly what can be done with 16 bit files and what you then have to change to 8 bit to accomplish.  He's written basic and advanced guides for Elements since day one.  Usually available from Amazon for under £20.

  • Color discrepancy between Lightroom and Camera Raw

    I'm new to LR and came across a color issue when viewing the photos in LR.
    When view the RAW in LR, I see a color discrepancy compare with ACR. The color in LR is more like the JPEG view in Windows Photo Viewer (an non color-managed application). I suspect it's a color space config but can't find any in LR as in PS.
    When I changed my monitor's ICC profile to "SRGB IEC61966-2.1", all the applications, LR, ACR, WPV, look the same then. It's said that profile just for troubleshooting and should change back to monitor's profile. Can someone help to explain what's happen and what should I do to get consistent color? Thanks a lot!

    It sounds like the monitor profile from the monitor manufacturer is not compatible with LR.  This is a common problem, and you have confirmed it by temporarily switching to sRGB.
    If the only profiles you have available are sRGB (which is consistent but may be wrong) and the monitor profile (which doesn’t work) then for more accurate color you’ll need to buy a hardware calibrator. 
    I use the i1DisplayPro.  Others might use a Spyder or a ColorMunki, although the i1DisplayPro has some more detailed options for creating profiles (Matrix vs LUT or ICCv2 vs ICCv4) that can be necessary to make LR happy, or at least my preference is to have a more powerful program in case I do need to tweak things.  I haven’t ever used a ColorMunki or Spyder so perhaps they work fine, too.  I think the color-measuring hardware with the i1 is better, though.  I guess you get what you pay for.

  • Blank space on left and right of page.

    I have (2) computers using the exact same version of Firefox and same model of monitor. On some web pages (e.g. CNN.com), one monitor has the content fills up the entire page (starting from the top right to bottom left), while the other monitor has a 1.5-inch blank space on both the left and right sides. I matched all the Firefox settings between the two but I still see the difference. How do I eliminate the blank space? Thanks.

  • Photoshop v. Lightroom and web

    Probably been asked before.  Photos are about 1/2 stop lighter when opened in photoshop than when viewed on the web or in Lightroom 3.  Or, you open a shot in photoshop and correct to taste.  When you close it and view in Bridge or Lightroom it looks darker.  Open it back up in photoshop and it's lighter again.  Any one know how to correct this so that the pictures are rendered the same when viewing them  in different applications?

    Found the reason.  Had to do with monitor calibration. Thanks for your considerations.
