Colors in LR 4 Different in CS 5

I have Lightroom 4 and CS 5. My images in Lightroom look warm. I export to Photoshop in ProPhotoRGB and the image will look great. I save close and the edited image again looks warm in Lightroom. If I change my monitor profile to ProPhotoRGB, the images look better in Lightroom but dull/grayish in Photoshop.
That said, I also see a color mismatch if I save a ProPhoto JPEG and open it in anything other than Photoshop. However, if I save a sRGB JPEG it looks great in web browsers, Photoshop and warm/yellow again in Lightroom. Either profile looks warm in Windows Picture Viewer.
It seems like I'm having a hard time nailing down where the mismatch is coming from, but photoshop doesn't seem to have any issues, unless I change from my default monitor profile.
Any ideas?

How are you calibrating your monitor (if at all)? It sounds like you are just using stock profiles.

How to get similar color for objects in different pictures

how do you get similar color for objects in different pictures
I have a prodject that i'm working on and i need to edit several images at once (preferabley) so that they are the same color. They are wooden cupboards and i need all the wood looking the same colour. In light room you can edit a group of images at the same time hence the colours are the same . Is this possible in Elements ? If so how do i do this ?
I have tried duplicating layers and it just replaces the whole image, it seems to work using levels layers but not the other layers ... I have 30 more images to do and would ideally not like to adjust all the images manually ? I dont mind doing minor tweaks. Essentially all the images where taken with the same camera and lighting and lens's ...
Screen shot is where I'm at at the moment...
I have posted this question else where but was told to repost - this is a link to my previous post as to where we got to

You could try using the raw converter. Open one file and edit it (File>Open, pick the image and choose Camera Raw as the format before you click Open). Then open the next image and click the little four-lined square on the upper right side of the ACR window and choose Previous Conversion from the flyout menu.

Preview/Video color is shifted to different colors

In iMovie '09, the video color is shifted to different colors and greyed out, but thumbnails seem alright.
Any Help Is Appreciated.

P.S. It is a hackintosh that hasn't had any other problems and don't go putting me down for having a hackintosh, I have 5 Macs and a lot of software (legally) from Apple.

Without knowing your exact color management settings we can't tell you much. By default Inkscape exports plain sRGB which should work just fine in a default AE with CM turned off as well...

When using the brush tool to paint a color, it is painting different, random colors

When using the brush tool to paint a color, it is painting different, random colors (Elements 11)

Click on the top right corner in the tool option bar of the brush tool and select "Reset Tool". Probably your blending mode other than 'Normal' is selected.

Question re: colors mismatching in two different documents

Hey all,
I use Photoshop (CS2) primarily for coloring illustrations and comics, and although I'm not quite a technophobe, I still always get tripped up on the technicalities of the program. Here's my problem in a nutshell: I have two different documents, both with the same color profile (Adobe RGB 1998), both open at the same time. I use the eyedropper to select a color. I switch from one document to the other, and the color as it's displayed changes rather dramatically (even though the color picker says it's still the same - 190R, 120G, 120B). The shift in how the color is displayed is consistent even if I change it using the picker or eyedropper - which is to say that the display error is consistently wonky from one document to the other.
What in the world is causing this? The saturation and brightness are quite different from one document to the other, to the point where it's immediately noticeable to the naked eye. This only happens with certain docs - in most cases, the color remains consistent from one doc to the other if I have multiple docs open, but it just goes wonky when I move over to certain docs. I've had this problem before, with colors displaying differently as jpegs, for example, than as tiffs in Photoshop, but that's obviously a correctable issue involving color profiles. I find it really frustrating that this is something that's happening from one tiff to another in the Photoshop work environment. Can anybody help me with this?

There's just no way this can happen if the two document profiles are really and truly the same. If, on the other hand, the profiles are not the same, this is normal and expected. The numbers will be different for the same color (and inverse).
Check again. Click the little arrow at the bottom of the document frame:
Also make sure that you have Color Management Policies set to "Preserve Embedded Profiles" (which is also the default setting). Any other setting is an unholy mess waiting to happen, unless you really know what you're doing.

Color of embedded graphic different in Adobe Reader 9?

Hello,
I have a cross-platform and cross-version issue that I am hoping that this is the right place to get get some insight on. I normally do most of my work on a Mac (OS X 10.5.4 PPC), and created a document in Microsoft Word 2008 (w/latest patches) that has one embedded graphic, a custom black horizontal line that I designed myself as a PNG with some alpha transparency. When I print the document to PDF, either using the built-in renderer or the Acrobat 8 PDF printer installed on the machine, I am able to open the resulting PDF in either Preview or Acrobat 8.1.2 on the same computer and it looks as expected.
However, if I take it over to my PC running Vista SP1 (w/latest patches) and open up the PDF in Acrobat Reader 9.0, the color of the embedded graphic is different, a kind of orange-y brown which looks really horrible; it is as if the normally grayscale embedded image has been tinted. The text of the document remains black, it is only the embedded image that has had its color changed. If I open the Word document on the PC in Word 2007 (again, w/latest patches), however, the embedded graphic looks grayscale, as expected.
I have tried a few things such as specifying the image format as grayscale within Word 2008 before printing to PDF, converting the PNG into GIF with Photoshop CS3 on the Mac (which shows it as grayscale) and re-embedding it and printing to PDF/X instead of PDF, but none of these seem to make any difference.
Unfortunately I don't have access to Acrobat Pro 9.0 for the Mac or Acrobat Reader 8.1.2 for the PC so I cannot tell if it's the switch between platforms or between versions that lies behind the issue, but does anybody have any ideas on how to make it look the same across platforms?
Thanks,
A

There's not really anything you can do with just Reader. The creator of the form set it up to behave this way, by intention or not. It could have been set up so that a user is unable to enter more text than can be displayed in the area defined for the field, and that the font size would automatically decrease as the limit is reached, down to a minimum size of 4. If you know who created the form, you may be able to request a new version.

Colors in Photoshop look different elsewhere

When I open a picture in Photoshop CS3 or Camera RAW for editing and then save that picture, and then open the saved picture in any program other than Photoshop, the colors and tints and saturation are very different. I am pretty sure this has to do with my color profile in Photoshop, but I've checked many online sources and my color settings seem to match up more or less with what's recommended. My camera is set to sRGB and Photoshop is set to sRGB IEC61966-2.1, and this is happening both with JPEGs and RAWs, from two different Canon cameras.
Pictures look more natural when viewed in Photoshop than in other programs (I think), even before any editing...how could this be?
The weird things is, when I go to Edit > Assign Profile and then select "Lighthouse (D65 G2.2 A34.29)" from the drop-down menu, the image in Photoshop now looks exactly like it does when I open the same image in an image viewing program. What does this mean?
Also, when viewing my photos in Bridge CS3, the colors look like they do in Photoshop until I zoom in 100% and the photo finishes loading the actual pixels, at which point the colors dramatically change.
How can I edit pictures in Photoshop and Camera RAW when what I'm editing is not what's actually seen? This is very frustrating. Anybody have any ideas?

Thank you both for your replies. My monitor has been properly calibrated, but not for a long time. I know that this will not help when it comes to color representation, but this is not my problem. My problem is that the images in Photoshop look different than elsewhere. I am wondering if there is either a way to make Photoshop display the photos as they will appear on websites and such, or a way to save the photos as they actually appear in Photoshop.
I find it odd that I have not noticed this until recently. There is a very significant difference between the colors in the two environments. If the problem truly has rooted from an uncalibrated monitor, I will simply calibrate it (I would have already but I don't have a calibration device any more). But I don't think that's the whole problem here.

Colors in FCP looks different than when playing in QT7

The colors of the video's in FCP looks different than when playing back in QuickTime. I wonder if it can be a color management setting in FCP? I have the same problem when playing a clip in AE. I have two FCP machines, but only one of them is having this problem. Any ideas of what I can do to get the right colors back?

Have you enabled Final Cut Studio Color Compatibility in the QT Player preferences?

JTree Node Color, to distinguish between different activities

Hi,
Situation:          Dynamic JTree (Tree is constructed from as a result of Database). User has the option to either Enable / Disable node and can repeat the activities but restricted only one activity per node, the node is to be highlighted; to restrict the user from further activities.
Problem:          Am a newbie to swing, after searching the forum for the same, i found few good solutions which are specific to color change of specific selected node, in a temporary context.
     But we need the node color change within a same level; to distinguish either the node is either enabled / disabled.
Your help is appreciated,

1. Is the approach above a good approach, how to load children 'lazilly'?Sounds pretty reasonable to me.
2. I also use custom renderer to display different icons for every "tree" level. When I initially expand the 4th level, everything works fine !!! Then I collapse the 4th level and expand it again and here my problem starts: my 4th level icon is set to 'root level icon' instead of '4th level' icon. This does not happen, if computerNode.removeAllChildren(); method is removed from listening above
Any idea, what am i doing wrong?Ummmm... Load the model the first time (only) the node is expanded... Putz!
And I suggest you listen deeply to Mr Jacobs... He really does know what he's talking about ;-)

Display Color Management Simulated Rec709 differs from ProRes Output

Okay. I've read the Adobe white paper on proper Color Management workflow about a dozen times now, and I'm still getting some inconsistencies in my render outputs.
DPX footage assigned a Kodak 5218/7218 Profile
Project Settings: ProPhoto RGB
Linearized Working Space
Match Legacy AE QT Gamma Adjustments
Output Profile: HDTV (Rec. 709)
I'm outputting to a ProRes 4444 file.
My problem arises from using the Simulate Output>Rec709 option in AE. I cannot get the output to look like this simulated color. Isn't that supposed to work?
I can match the output to AE when I turn off Color Management and apply a Color Profile Converter effect, but there is a shift in color when viewing Simulated Color vs. using the Color Converter Effect. Even in AE the Converter Effect looks different than Simulated Color.
I was under the impression that the point of the Simulated Output and Display Color Management options were to avoid having to do this. Should I change my workflow and just use the Converter Effect on all my comps? Or do I have a setting wrong somewhere? Has anyone else come across a discrepancy like this?

Interesting. I thought it might have something to do with ProRes, but my bit depth is at 32, and the shifts I'm seeing are more subdued than the pictures in that post. It looks darker (like a gamma shift) and slightly more saturated.
I'm more interested to know why there is a difference in the simulated output vs the color profile converter. I can see the difference within AE, before exporting anything. What is simulated output doing that my profile converter isn't?

Is it possible to change color of slider on different values?

I'm trying to set up an instrument that receives data from a sensor. My idea is to show a sliders with the values read and accordingly represent acceptable levels in one color and whatever is above it on a different color (lets say green and red).
Any ideas would be appreciated.

You're going to have to use a Property Node for the slider to change it's color.
The attached VI shows a simple example of how to do this.
Right click on the indicator and select 'Create>Property Node'.
Right click on the property node and select, 'Change to Write'.
Right click on the node again and select 'Properties>Fill Color' (or other property you want to change).
Create the logic to watch for the value over limit.
You do have to be careful using property nodes. They are very useful,
but they also have a performance hit on your application. You should
construct a way to only write to the node when you need to change
something. Constantly writting the same value to the node (as my quick
example is doing ) is not good programming practice.

Ink usage for same colors but sent from different workspaces

Let's say I print green (0,255,0) from Adobe RGB with a printer profile. Then I convert it to ProPhoto RGB (same green is now 76,230,60 in ProPhoto) and print it with the same printer profile. Do inkjet printers use the same ink combination for printing same green but sent from different workspaces?

Ok, it's obvious, forget about it.
Another question: Can we know that RGB printer profiles use which RGB color space for converting from the workspace?

Colors calibrated with GretagMacbeth different on 2 computers

I have GretagMacbeth eye-one display. It was purchased 4 years ago and has been used monthly with my Dell Desktop Dimension 4700, 1905FP Dell Ultrasharp Digital Flat Panel Display. Recently I purchased a Dell Vostro Laptop with 15.4 Widescreen WXGA LCD anti-glare Display. I calibrated the display with GretagMacbeth eye one and corresponding software version 3.2A. Comparing the desktop and laptop displays, using the same angle with respect to the vertical and under the same lighting, I find that the desktop colors are by far more yellow than the laptop display. Shouldn't they be identical? Isn't that what eye-one is supposed to do? I always use the "easy" choice with the calibration since I am not knowledgeable enough for the custom choice. I posted this question to X-Rite which now handles GretagMacbeth questions. They suggested ways to make get both displays to look the same, but that really isn't what I wanted. I had been under the impression that using the eye-one would give me some sort of a "standard" sRGB colors that would produce on print the same colors I see on the screen and would produce the same colors on emailing to anyone's screen that was well calibrated. X-Rite's suggestions don't address that. If I haven't been getting a "standard", what am I getting with the eye-one?

I don't have concrete data but I have seen at many places that Color Gamut supported by most the laptops have less colors than LCD monitors. This could be one of the reason you are seeing different colors on your Laptop and Monitor....

Colors In Exported Video Different From Preview In Premiere

I have a short video I put together in Premiere that contains some image overlays I created in Photoshop. Everything looks fine in Premiere, but when I export it, the overall video has a warmer, yellow-ish/orange-ish color cast to it. My Sequence settings are HDV 720P and I am exporting the video as Windows Media HD720P. Is there anything simple I can do to get the colors to match up properly? I'm only intending to publish the video to Youtube.

Interesting, you're right, I opened it in VLC and the colors look fine. Strange that I'm getting an odd color cast in Windows Media Player only - thanks everyone!

Colors in PDF are different than in the ID file

I can't figure out why this is happening but when I export a PDF from InDesign (CS5) things are changing slightly from what I was seeing in InDesign. Mainly the colors seem to be a bit greyer and the font weight has increased a little (See picture for comparison). Is there a setting in the PDF creation that adjusts this, I'm using the 'High Quality Print' setting when I go to export. Thanks.

Check your color settings in InDesign. They should match the PDF Export settings. It looks like the trim marks in your PDF do not allow for Bleed. You should take a closer look at your PDF setup in InDesign. Try selecting "Leave Color Unchanged" in the PDF settings. At a minimum, the settings should match in both InDesign and the PDF settings.
