Creating color profiles Leica D-Lux 4

When creating color profiles with Colorchecker Passport from X-Rite, DNG profiles Editor shows an error mesage USE A VALID DNG FILE. However I have used the DNG conversion option in Adobe Bridge when importing Leica RWL-files from camera. Can you help me solve th
is problem?
Photoshop Extended
Operating System: Windows XP Professional

What version of Bridge/Photoshop are you running?
Is it X-Rite's Passport software or Adobe's DNG Profile Editor software that is giving the error? I ask this because you talk about using Passoprt to create profiles, but then describe the error has coming from the DNG Profile Editro which is Adobe's software.
What process are you following, starting with the RWL file, that gives the error about not having a valid DNG file?
I know X-rite released an update to their software a few months ago.
You might post one of your RWL files via YouSendIt.com to let others try and duplicate your scenario.

Display Calibration Creates Color Profile Problems.

I haven't received any response out of the MBP Display forum and I thought you guys might have better insight anyway because you are dealing with color calibration more often. Here it is:
I used colorsync utility to calibrate my monitor, hoping it would at least get the colors more accurate than they are with the "Color LCD" profile. The Color LCD profile has a bad yellow tinge to it. I went through the process 4 times so I would be able to choose the best profile out of the 4. (Now I can't delete the extra profiles but I guess that is a different topic...) The color accuracy and the gray-tone is MUCH better BUT I have a slight (understatement) saturation problem.
My problem is after using Color Sync, ALL of my REDS are oversaturated and blown out. There is a problem with the blues and greens as well but it isn't as bad. Of course, they look fine in non color managed applications (ie FireFox) but everything else makes my photos look horrible. Even the RAW files straight out of the camera look blown out.
I had, at first edited these files on a PC so they always looked fine but now that I have switched to Mac I have noticed how oversaturated they are in all of its color managed applications. (Safari, preview, and even the desktop.) I thought perhaps that I had just pumped up the contrast and saturation too high on the PC and the color profile was now creating a problem because the color was set for an un-profiled file. BUT after viewing the unaltered .NEF's straight out of my camera, they too are oversaturated.
Now, I have some wallpapers I had downloaded from the web that look the same as before. It is just MY OWN photographs that are oversaturated. Obviously I have chosen the wrong color profile or something is wrong with my workflow. The wallpaper that looks the same doesn't have a profile assigned it when I view-info. It just labels the color space as RGB. All my photos that have problems, have a color profile assigned. I am using sRGB as recommended. There are a few still using Adobe RGB (which is what my camera defaults to) and they have the same oversaturation problem.
Aperture is set to export with an sRGB profile and CS2 uses sRGB as well.
Any advice? What monitor and color management profile's are you guys using?
I can't tell what is right anymore. What should I edit my photos to look good in? The only MONITOR profile that doesn't blow them out is Adobe/Apple RGB, Color LCD, and a few of the other default installed profiles.
I've got a bad case of color vertigo!

sorry uberfoto, did not get what MBP meant at first.
what Jan says about color calibration tool is right....and start again from the RAW.....
i am photographer in the advertisement, reportage, portraits and landscape.
my problem was to get the thinks printed as I saw them on the screen.
here what I have to say on that (part of another discussion):
".... Sorry, but no AppleTFT Display comes close to a hardware calibrated display. Maybe they are semi-professional. I do not say this to insult Apple, ore somebody else, but i say this to sway out the illusion of , " if I just spend more money on the calibration tool and software, I´ll have better prints". It´s just not possible, because the display cant show what is there. A Apple CRT Studio Display is far better in this. I you want to have a flat-screen TFT Display to bring good results, you have to choose one that is able to be hardware calibrated and has a higher lookup table (EIZO, LaCie, QuatoGrafics......)
I use use one professional EIZO CG21" and one semi-prof. EIZO FlexScanL985EX(21") and the diffrence is important between the two.
But i need only one to be Print Proof ready.
Before i was always afraid when i gave the picture file to my client, because of what my pictures look like once it is printed. Now the outcome is right or differs only very little from what I saw on the screen. my calibration tool is EYE ONE. "..
BUT your main problem is how it looks in the web.
my thoughts and suggestion on this:
1. most people see the web on PC Display. those use a gamma of 2.2
(apple = 1.8) so pictures appear more blue with more contrast. this setting is made to hide the low ability of the system and display to show colors as they are and give and give crispy impression. So you will have to consider this when you prepare the pictures for the web. therefor the standard calibration of your MBP is best for your needs. ( for printing the Display has to be set on 5.600 kelvin ,that would be to warm 4 the wwweb).
2.
a) In the beginning I use Aperture 1.5 (or Lightroom) to select and prepare the pictures as I like them.
b) then I export them in 8 bit/300 dpi in the size they will be used as PSD or TIFF.
c) I will then open them in Photoshop (color-settings=web /internet) make the cleaning and so on.( 4 the web I always increase the saturation because sRGB and JPG will throw away lots of colors).
d) AND NOW "save for the web ". This is definitely the best tool to prepare pictures for the web. on the right upper part of the window there is a flash-open menu where you may choose to see the colors like in windows or macintosh system.
and on the lower right of the application-window there is a roll-down menu where you may preview the results in different browsers of your choice.
It is here where you can produce amazing high Q pictures 4 the web under 100 kb.
Hope this may help.
good luck,
larry

Lens profile Leica V-LUX 4

Hello
In lightroom 5, which lens profile to use for Leica V-LUX 4. I cannot find its lens profile: DC Vario-Elmar 4.5 - 108 mm f/2.8 ASPH.
Thanks
Badr

The Adobe Standard profile for this camera is already available and almost certainly the one already being used. Check to see the name of the profile set in Camera Calibration panel.
If you're hoping for Camera Standard or any of the other special profiles (e.g. portrai, landscape, etc) then I think you might be in for a long wait. Same applies if your expecting the profile to include the name of canmera vendor or model.

Hot to create color profile if I can't disable color management?

I have Canon PIXMA iP4600 printer. I wanted to create custom color profile for Canon Photo Paper Plus Glossy paper, but I can't disable color management in the Print dialog. There are two options: SolorSync (and I have to pick some color profile I'd like to use), or Canon Color Matching. There is no way to disable color management.
I tried to create custom profile by choosing Canon Color Matching, but it turned out to be way worse than the original Canon profiles. Jeans in printouts are not denim blue but ultramarine! I suspect this is because profile target was printed with some color profile enabled.
I just thought maybe there are some "fake" printer profiles out there? Profiles which don't translate anything and what goes in, comes out 1:1? This way I could work-around this problem.
My problem is that in printouts I need little bit more more saturated greens and 4-7% less red component.

Hello Guntis,
As you have seen with the Canon iP driver, there is no function to disable color management, you either select ColorSync or Canon Color Matching.
When you select ColorSync, your output will use the default profiles assigned to the paper stocks for the Canon driver. If you wanted to see the Lab plot for that particular stock, open the ColorSync application and select the Profiles pane. If you then expand the Other entry you will see all the profiles for the default paper stocks for your iP4600 and their respective color gamuts.
If you then wanted to check which paper stock matched the code names, such as SP, MP and PR, you could select to print from an application and open the Color Matching menu. If you then set the option to ColorSync and leave the Profile set to Automatic, then open the Quality & Media menu and select Photo Paper Plus Glossy and then switch the menu back to Color Matching, you will notice that there will be writing under the Profile menu, stating the profile used - in this case SP2.
If these default values are not delivering the color output you want, then I suggest you set the Color Matching menu to Canon Color Matching and then use the Color Options menu to tweak the Magenta and Cyan values to boost the greens and reduce the reds.
Note that you should also set your application to let the printer manage the color.

MBP 17" not remembering ICC color profiles in XP with 23" ACD

I have a MacBook Pro 17" that I'm using in a dual-screen configuration (internal display and a 23" Cinema Display). I'm running Windows XP through Boot Camp, and I use a Gretag Eye-One calibrator to create color profiles for each display.
On my PC using an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro, I was able to calibrate both displays, and the software that came with the Eye-one set those profiles as defaults and it worked fine.
Now that I moved to a MacBook, I'm trying to do the same thing, but for some reason it picks the profile for one of the displays and sets both monitors to it, giving the internal display a horrible blue cast, or the external a horrible green cast until I go in using the new windows color control panel to manually set the profiles every time I boot.
One odd thing is that the computer detects each display twice, and they're all called 'plug and play monitor', so I usually have to play around to find the correct display and assign the right color profile to it.
Anyone else run into this problem and know how to fix it?

DNG editor color profile

I have created color profiles in the DNG Profile Editor, saved the recipe and exported the recipe to
C:\Documents and Settings\Dan\ApplicationData\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles
When I go to the calibration tab in Lightroom, these profiles do not show.
Using Windows XP.
Thanks for any suggestions as to what I am doing incorrectly.
Dan

Dan,
It should work, it does for me.
Are the cameras supported by LR? You say there is a separate profile for each and I guess you mean these are existing in LR. If I am correct then it should work and I am out of ideas.
Just thought of one other thing. You could try putting your new profile into the existing file folder for your camera type. You should find the folder here:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles\Camera

I would like to obtain a lens profile for the Leica D-Lux 5. Is that available?

I would like to obtain a lens profile for the Leica D-Lux 5. Is that available?

If by "Final Cut Title" you mean the Basic Title (that you also get by typing Control-T), you can edit that title by right clicking on the Basic Title template in the Effects Browser >Titles > Bumper/Opener section, and selecting Open a Copy in Motion.
In Motion 5, turn down the disclosure triangle on Main and select the Title layer (in the layers column). Under the canvas at the bottom right are several icons -- click on the one to the right of the gear (Filters) > Stylize > Extrude. In the Inspector, select the Filters tab and right click on each one of those parameters and select Publish (that includes the Gradient). At the bottom, select the Publish OSC control (so that it is Checked.) Everything you just published will appear in the Title Inspector in FCPX.
Save As and give it a new name (although there will already be a "Copy of Basic Title" in FCPX -- happens as soon as you open in Motion) -- something like Extruded Title.
Back in FCPX, you can add that title to your storyline and use the OnScreen Control to create your 3D effect however you like it.
If you like, you can pre-setup the text to appear like you would generally like to have it in it's "starting" condition (for instance, ramp up the text size, set colors, etc.) Every time you save, however you have the title set up in Motion is how it will appear in FCPX when you add it.

How to create custom color profile in OSX?

I started thinking about this after downloading the program "f.lux", which changes the color temperature of your screen depending on the time of day. It seems the program accomplishes this by adjusting your display calibration. Some controls for this already exist (you can tinker with them in preferences>display>color) but they can't be calibrated beyond minor changes to gamma and color tempterature. In f.lux they have a "darkroom mode", which is this amazing red-on-black high-contrast effect perfectly suited for use in a darkroom. I feel like a high-contrast monochrome display could come in handy, but I want more control over the brightness and color than what this app offers. I don't see anything like that in the usual preferences, but I do see a host of various color profiles (apple rgb, adobe rgb, PAL, Pantone, and whatever else...). How do I create a completely custom profile, or edit one that exists? Where are these files stored on my computer? Are there workarounds, or any third-party apps for changing my display settings?
All help is greatly appreciated.

Choosing Color Profiles for Images Created on Film

I just finished sending feedback to Adobe on one of its tutorials. The following is a copy of my message explaining my present predicament.
<< I have scanned film negatives and positive film transparencies dating back to the 1950's .I was the creator of most of these images but I do not remember the make or model of the cameras I was using at any point in time prior to 1974 and they all lack metadata. Prior to 2000 I used iPhoto and PS Elements for scanning, toning and development. Thus I can only guess what color profile I should use. I want to create TIFFS that will serve a dual purpose: exporting two formats, one for electronic sharing and the other for printing. On the Adobe CC, if I guess wrong, LR 5.6 64bit crashes immediately. Prior stand alone versions of LR and CS6 let you know that you had a color inconsistency, but they did not crash when you had made a wrong choice between srgb and ProPhoto. ACC gives me more options, but no warnings unless I am missing something your Help Files should contain.>>

I guess I am going to throw caution to the wind and see what happens.
Only one way to find out, Right
Though I did go back and lighten my images. Also
Ran color synch utility, which fixed 11 corrupt color profiles.(none of the 11 profiles pertained to i photo)
I guess I am afraid to use pref setter,, to set the key embed color profile.
Confused as to what that means??? Does that mean that all my CS Adobe-RGB jpegs will keep their color profile???
Also implanted one image as an SRGB vs the rest which will all be AdobeRGB
Oddly my color management in CS is almost Flawless. Yet, get me out of CS and I am completely lost!!!! Complicated stuff
Toad, I did want to pass on that AdobeRGB 1998 is a much more robust color profile then SRGB especially when it come to printing on Epson. It might be worth experimenting with and if you really want to get into it there is also
Pro photo RGB which is Huge color space, but a beast to work with
Here is a link

Camera Calibration Profile for Leica D-Lux Typ 109

I have Lightroom 5.7 with Camera Raw 8.7, both supposedly the latest versions, and yet I do not see any choices other than Adobe Standard under the Camera Calibration Profile menu. I have the newly supported Leica D-Lux Typ 109, and was expecting to see some camera specific choices in the Profile menu. Am I mistaken?

Most cameras only have an Adobe Standard profile:
492 camera models have Adobe Standard profile.
166 camera models have profiles in addition to Adobe Standard, mostly Canon, Nikon, Olympus and Sony.
The only Leica model that has more than an Adobe Standard profile is the M8.

Using custom color profiles....leica m8 on import

Is it possible to use or assign a custom color profile like I would in capture 1? Thanks

+If these aren't in /Library sub folders they could be in /Users/yourname/Library sub folder (depends if they were installed for a single user or all users)+
SHAZAM!! You solved it for me. When you told me to check the directories before, I was already in Users/yourname/etc. I didn't realize there was another Library at the System level. The profiles were there, glaring at me like they'd been there the whole time. Imagine that.
All the subfolders you mentioned were in there respective places too.
But that brings up another question... One always leads to another, right?
Why do I have three 'Library' folders that all have Colorsync folders with different profiles in them???
I've got one at StartUpDrive/Library/subfolders
another at StartUpDrive/System/Library/subfolders
and a third at StartUpDrive/username/Library, though this one hasn't been modified since 2004. Can I delete it?
Thanks a ton

Bridge doesn't recognize color profiles

Dear Adobe community,
I'm using Adobe Bridge CS5.1 (4.1.0.54) and Illustrator CS5.1 (15.1.0), and I'm experiencing a very confusing and disturbing color management problem between these two applications. In short, for some unknown reason Bridge doesn't seem to respect or simply cannot read CMYK color profiles that I've applied to an artwork within Illustrator, but rather labels the file as "Untagged" and displays it with clearly desaturated colors. To illustrate the problem I've created some screenshots having Bridge on the left hand side and Illustrator on the right displaying the same illustration with various color profiles applied. That is, in each case I assigned different color profile to the image in Illustrator, saved the file and took the screenshot of Bridge and Illustrator both displaying the image. Now if you look closely then perhaps you notice that the only time I got a visual match between these applications was when I switched the file to a RGB mode within Illustrator. But even then Bridge did not recognized the correct color profile but interpreted it as "Untagged". Here are the screens:
Bridge "Untagged" vs. Illustrator "U.S. Web Coated":
Bridge "Untagged" vs. Illustrator "Coated FOGRA39":
Bridge "Untagged" vs. Illustrator "Don't Color Manage This Document":
Bridge "Untagged" vs. Illustrator "Adobe RGB":
Hope you could see the difference from these tiny images. Looking from my monitor, I can tell you for sure that they are definitely off, except the RGB versions of the illustration. This made me surmise that perhaps Bridge can only display Working RGB profiles correctly and not anything else.
Here's also my color settings, just in case…
So... Why is that??? Why are these applications showing me different results while my color settings are supposed to be "Synchronized"? Is there a way to fix this? I have tried to play around with the settings and looked for a solution in the web but to no avail. Could you please help me to find a soulution to this disturbing problem?
All the best,
Juhani

You may have used the broken global Purge Cache command in Bridge Preferences, or the cache is otherwise corrupted. Try Purging the Cache through the Tools menu in Bridge for each folder. Tools > Cache > Purge cache for 'foldername'.

Correct Color Profile in Keynote '09 (or '08)

I have been tasked with putting together a photography presentation for six photographers. The presentation will be projected (with two Epson projectors and six color monitors) in Keynote ’09 (and ’08) for a one-night photographer’s gallery exhibit. One of the concerns raised by one of the photographers who has used Keynote (not sure the version, but probably ’08 or earlier) is that there is a "*color shift*" that occurs from the original saved image. All images are exported from (Apple) Aperture, (Adobe) Lightroom, and (Adobe) PhotoShop CS3-CS5 using the Adobe RGB 1998 Color Profile.
All photographers (including myself) are working with Aperture, Lightroom, or PhotoShop and are saving their final images with the Adobe RGB (1998) ICC color profile.
Is there a way to ensure “correct” color profiles are used in Keynote ’09 (and ’08)? If so, how is this done?
Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to the discussions, anthonysan.
There isn't a way within the program to do it, however it IS possible I think. I'll give you some tips to start down that path, and, if you have any questions, just post back here.
First, go to Keynote preferences and, under General Preferences, choose "Save new documents as packages". Next, create a new document (white theme), change the Master to blank, and place three rectangles on the first slide, each with an EASY to define color. (By "easy to define" I mean pick colors that you would be able to discern numerically, for example 100% red, 100% black, 100% green, etc.) Finally, double click inside each shape and add some unique text. I'm using "firstone", "secondone", "thirdone".
Now, save that document, then right-click (two-finger-click, control-click) on it's icon in the Finder. You should see an option to Show Package Contents. Select that and you should then see a few folders and some files. You're looking for index.apxl.zip. Double click that one to unzip it, then put the .zipped version in the trash (Keynote can read either just as well). Now, you should have an index.apxl file.
When you double-click the index.apxl file, you'll have to choose to open it with TextEdit, then search for your unique text "firstone".
Things get more detailed from this point, but it does lead to a potential solution. Let me know if you're following so far, and we can look at the mysteries within they Keynote file

Problem with DNG Color Profiles in Lightroom 5.4

Hello folks,
I recently updated from LR 5.3 to Lightroom 5.4 and since then I am having problem when using dng color profiles which were created with Colorchecker Passport. Every time I use such a profile which was created for my Nikon D 800 I get very greenish tones in the pictures.
I use Windows 7 Pro on a HP Z 210 Workstation. The monitor is a hardware-calibrated Quato which was recently calibrated.
Does anyone have this problem too and - if yes - know how to fix it?
Thanks!
Yours, Albert
PS: As English isn't my mother tongue I apologize for any mistakes in the text above.

Hello Andrew,
I do have a Nikon D 800 and a Fuji X-E1. I haven's noticed a problem with the Fuji so far. I think I will recalibrate my monitor tomorrow and see if the problem still exists.
I can supply raws and DNG profiles but I don't know where I should upload them - I suggest I could do it on my own webspace. Would that be ok?
