Colours change badly when LR2.5 image sent to Photoshop CS3

When I right click in LR on an image and "edit in CS3" the image opens in CS3 with a horrible magenta and/or blue colour cast that is difficult to remove.
I have set LR to export in AdobeRGB, and CS3 edits in AdobeRGB.
This is new behaviour, since I got a Canon 50D but I assume this is coincidence.
The effect is variable, worse on some images than others, so I can use no automatic workaround to fix the shift.
It is ruining my workflow. I've searched on everything I can think of in forums and help.
- Win XP SP3
- both screens calibrated with GretaMacbeth Eye-one
I observe that:
a) even the dialog boxes in the two programs have completely different colours, not sure if that is supposed to be so.
b) CS3 says that my CS apps are not sync'd for consistent color. I don't know what other apps I may have, or why this is so.
Attached -
- my external edit prefs and CS3 colour settings
- sample image screen capture in LR
- same image screen captured in CS3
Thanks

This seems to have died. I've answered a few questions but no responses to those reqested infos, and no answer forthcoming.Some responses suggest that my post has not even been read properly and the only suggestions made have been inappropriate to my posted info.
Can anyone tell me how I get effective help for Adobe products? I am more than jaded with the facts that:
- Adobe software in general and Lightroom especially has almost useless help files/website. Adobe seems to rely on a) 3rd parties and b) a collection of informal only sometimes professional often independent (uncoordinated) resources that are as disparate as they are confused to provide help and usage training. The help available from "Help" menu item is incomplete and often, if not mostly, missing the point for which you are seeking info.
- Adobe software including Acrobat reader (inside Firefox), CS3 and Lightroom are the ONLY softwares that crash my system or do not work reliably.
- Adobe phone and email support is entirely, completely and fully useless for anything beyond certain standard problems. The only offered solution to anything I've ever rung or emailed about has been "uninstall and re-install" after demanding enormous amounts of information that was probably irrelevant or ignored but consumed considerable effort and time to provide.
- when you DO uninstall and reinstall Photoshop, you find it is the only software I know of that routinely loses all your settings and actions in the process.
- and so far, uninstall and reinstall has never resolved any Adobe problem on my machine.
- Adobe more than any other provider seem to rely on new PAID upgrades as the suggested means of resolving bugs and other problems that are intrinsic to the software, and Adobe don't continue to maintain older versions.
So - here I am with what is to me a serious problem, and I have no visible means of useful tech support.
People like me are always being criticised on these forums for being cross and frustrated, with smooth talking smug folk saying that you'd get better results if you were polite. The trouble is it is difficult to remain polite when you see no available solution, a lot of time taken up and no APPARENT determination by Adobe to provide support that actually meets people's needs, or at least people with non-standard problems.
I don't believe I've been rude here, but it's now 4 days and I'm no nearer to solving the problem.
Could someone suggest how to get effective help with this problem, or other problems from Adobe?
Thanks
Julian

Trigger change badi when click a custom button

hello guys i want to trigger the change badi when a user clicks on a button. Any help would be create?
I am using the set change by client setting it to true and then firing the refresh but it is not working? Any clues? Thank you.

As I told you in that linked thread, I'd suggest trying to use SET_CHANGED_BY_CLIENT method on the context of your webdynpro. This is sufficient to make the system aware of a change and trigger the CHANGE badi.
As far as I've observed doing my tests, the CHANGE badi is then triggered after an event that will follow the SET_CHANGED_BY_CLIENT execution.
So I'd suggest two test:
- pre-exit of the method you trigger when the user press your custom buttom: set_changed_by_client and then execute your code. See if the badi is then triggered;
- if not: you could "force" a subsequent action after the button press, for example, a simple REFRESH of the view. Then I'm sure that, after the set_changed_by_client method, the badi will surely be triggered.
Please be aware that I'm absolutely NOT a guru on these arguments, so I'm trying to give you some workarounds I implemented on an SRM 7 system. Probably some guru will have better and cleaner solution for your task, but as far as I've seen, these ones should meet your needs.

White Lines appear on Images in Adobe Photoshop CS3

White Lines appear on Images in Adobe Photoshop CS3
Recently discover that on three different computers, while editing images in Adobe Photoshop CS3, white lines would appear on some of the images.
For example changing a image from a .jpg to a .psd or size, or enchantment features, the white lines would appear on the image.
The lines did not appear on any of the printed images, any suggestions.
Monitor: Sony Trintron Multiscan G4110
Computer: Mac G5

>The lines did not appear on any of the printed images,
Although it is odd that three computers exhibit the same problem, and unless you can provide other coincidences (same files, same monitor, etc.), I agree. The video card is typically the culprit IF the image anomalies don't print and if they move about with each image resizing or opening of a specific image. Check to see if it's properly seated and connected. Same for monitor cable. Try swapping in another card.
One other thought: as this is a CRT monitor, what happens if you change the resolution and refresh rate? Are you using a recommended combination for that monitor?

Doc change badi when storage loc change

Hi
How can i trigger doc change badi whenever storage location changes?
Thanks
Joe

Hi,
The Doc Change BADI will get triggerred automatically before saving the document (Create / change operations).
So, irrespective of any data change, this BADI will be triggerred automatically (provided if implemented and proper filters are set).
Hope this clarifies your query.

Need help in quantizing an image(using adobe photoshop CS3)

Hi All,
I am using window and adobe photoshop CS3 extended. I had an image whereby i had already perform histogram equalization. I would like to quantize the image obtained into 2 bits per pixel, per channel. Can anyone advise me? The image is a 24 bit colour BMP file whereby the bit depth is 24 bits. Pls advise.

Hi, I managed to find the refresh cached option. However there is still one thing which i need some clarification on.
The problem for me is to quantize the image into 2 bits per pixel per channel. I understand from the previous post that i need to use posterize and set it to 4. My questions are as follow.
1) why must the value be 4? if the value is 4 then there should be 8 bits, but my question require a total of 6 bits only
2) After saving my quantized image, the properties of the image still show me the bit depth being 24, thus is there any where whereby i can check that each color pixel is exactly represented by 2 pixels?
Hope you can advise. Tks

Colour change/tone between Raw image and elements 9 image

Elements 9. Recently started having this problem that was not there when I first installed E9 I set the picture up in RAW and all seems well with result as I want it. When then opening elements from the RAW image, the image shown to me in elements is noticeably darker and has colour variation on it. Basically I can't trust the elements image to be reflective of what prints out or the RAW image. This is more than annoying now.... I'm reluctant to re-install as I don't want to experience any new problems as a result. Any thoughts on this from anyone please?

OK, checked the colour settings. Everything was set like you suggested.
But the problem has been way less noticeable during the past months. Maybe because I made a recalibration some time ago. The screendumps I attached where made this spring. So there might be a chance my monitor profile was corrupt back then, but got OK since i recalibrated.
I'll do some more tests, saying thanks for now for the quick reply.

Colour washed out when using image processor in Bridge CS6

Hi there
I hope somebody can help please?!
I am editing raw files in Camera Raw 8.2, then using image processor through Bridge CS6 to save them as both jpegs and tiffs.
I am finding the colour on the saved files is coming out a little washed out and faded.
If I open them individually and save them in PS6 as jpeg and tiffs, the colour remains vibrant and true to the original raw file.
I have thousands of these files to go through and don't have time to open each one individually in this way so I am desperate to automate this process while still retaining the great colour in the original shots.
Can anyone tell me why the shots are coming out this way and help offer a solution for me please?
Any advice would be massively appreciated!
Many thanks

Hi,
Do you have Include ICC Profile checked at the bottom of the Image Processor dialog?

Trouble making parts of image transparent in Photoshop CS3

I have an image which is currently surrounded by a white background that I want to get rid of.
So far I have selected all of the background and hit delete, which appears to have deleted all of the white background as it shows up transparent.
However when I save the image as a TIFF an then open it up in Illustrator, the image still contains the white background.
What am I doing wrong?

This can't be done on a Background Layer. Promote it to a real layer by double clicking it in the Layers Palette. It suggests "Layer 0", which is fine.
Then you can successfully delete the B/G colour. Did you see the chess board pattern?
Maybe export as PSD or PNG before opening it in another application?

When trying to install Adobe Photoshop CS3, an error message comes up. What do I do?

The error message says, "The Installer Database is corrupted. Please contact Adobe Support if this problem continues." What do I do? It won't install at all, I just get the error message.

Which operating system are you using?
Do you have any other adobe software installed like photoshop elements?
see if this helps:

When "placing" a picture from Photoshop CS3

When I "place" a picture from Adobe Photoshop in a document in InDesign CS5 it's blurry. The photo is not blurry in Photoshop. Why would this be happening? Appreciate any help! I've also tried placing the same photo in InDesign CS2 and it's blurry. Does the Photoshop version (CS3) have to be the same as the InDesign version (CS5)?? Thanks!

Thank you! Something very simple and I could not figure it out!

Photo EXIF gone when editing LR files with Photoshop CS3

All I get is somethink like "edited in external application." How can I regain or retain original data (from Nikon D200 RAW files)?

Using LR 1.31. After editing, "Save" command used in CS3, which moves a copy back into Lightroom. (LR set up to stack CS3's edits, which possibly is relevant per Adobe KB 333740.) Files enter LR from memory card in DNG format and return from Photoshop in PSD. (Setup problem?) Using PS 10.0.

Lost changes to DNG when opening in Photoshop CS3

I am losing changes that have been made to DNG files when opening these files in Photoshop CS3. I added my Canon CR2 RAW files to Lightroom, made changes to the images in Lightroom (exposure, contrast, color correction, etc) and then exported the images as DNG files. Now, when I open any of these DNG files in Photoshop CS3 or Lightroom 2.1 all of the changes are completely lost. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

Thank you for your replies to this problem. Yes, I did in fact upgrade to ACR 4.6 on 10/07. The problem that I have it that only a few of the thousands of images I worked on remain in Lightroom at this point. I worked on the files in Lightroom, exported them as DNG files to retain the changes and then removed them from Lightroom.
I have narrowed the problem down to a specific date of 10/21. I noticed that all of the DNG files that I am having problems with were modified on this date and will not open in ACR while retaining the changes I made in Lightroom. If I go through my backup and pull the same DNG file prior to 10/21, it opens in ACR perfectly and retains all of my Lightroom modifications.
What I want to determine here is two things. One, how to recover the Lightroom information in the DNG files that have been corrupted so the file opens in ACR as intended. Two, how to prevent this from ever happening again. I am happy to post samples of the problematic DNG files, as well as, the older backup versions that are working correctly. Any insight to this issue would be greatly appreciated.

The colour changes depending on what file format you choose?!?

So I have noticed that depending on what file format you choose the colour changes slightly. Why is this?
For example I exported something in PDF and the colour changed yet when the PDF was printed it came out exactly how the colour should be. When I ex

If you're working in CMYK, "softproof" your colors by choosing View->Overprint Preview. Note the keyboard shortcut
If you're working in RGB, make sure the Creative Suite color management is synced. This is done through Bridge. May I suggest looking that up in Adobe Help.

Colour change to buttons

Hello,
I have a series of buttons placed side by side. I'm changing focus from one button to another using navigation keys. Now the problem is the focus is not clearly visible. Is there any option to do it?
I got some idea of using colour change option, when focus is on one button change its colour to some specific colour and rest to some other specific colour. But i'm not able to implement it clearly. so please give me some idea..
Thanking you,
sushmith

Solved!
Go to Solution.

If you want to change the color of a button, you have to watch out which type of button you're using. Not all buttons can have their colort changed.
If youre looking for a professional look, you don't want to make a colorbook either by changing every button into another color.
What you can do is putting behind each button an LED indicator which is slightly bigger then the button itself.
When the button have the focus, set that indicator to true. And it will light up.
It's a bit more work, but it look so much nicer.
Personally I don't like to mess with colors. I love simplicity. Thats why I use systembuttons, which have a blue surface already when they have focus
Hope this helps
Kind regards,

Images opened in Photoshop CS5 has a blue-tinted grayscale

I was using Photoshop CS5 (64-bit) fine yesterday but today each image I open shows a loss of colour, everything looks like a blue tinted grayscale.
The same with RAW files oipened in ACR and all files opened in Bridge.
When I open a JPEG version in Microsoft Image Viewer the colour is fine.
In Windows, the thumbnails look fine with full colour in the folders.
The loss of colour only happens when the image files are opened in Photoshop, Bridge and ACR.
Anyone out there who can help?
Many thanks.

Many thanks to Silkrooster, Alec Molloy & Chris Cox, for all your help and time.
Just for info - the Huey Pro calibrator has worked well with this monitor (Dell U2410) for at least a couple of years now.
I tried old profiles created previously using the HueyPRO but they did not work, so I deleted them from the System32/spool/drivers/color folder.
Then a new HueyPRO-created monitor profile did not work, so I deleted that as well.
Then at start up, the HueyPRO seemed to auto-create its own monitor profile which it named: "hueyPRO Dell U2410 F525MOA70DKL.icc"
But that gave the same loss of colour when opening files in Photoshop
So I think Chris is exactly right - the problem must be with the HueyPRO "cigar" hardware, or with its software, so I may well have been bothering you all unnecessarily.
I'll try getting a new hueyPRO - but not too common in the shops here in central Africa.
In the meantime, I've uninstalled HueyPRO and I'm using a reference image to calibrate using the NVIDEA Control Panel (I'm working on a commission for two photo calendars at the moment and so have to keep it going....).
Any recommendations on a better calibrator (but a non-too technical one!)??
