Cs6 for color blind people

Hi,
I'm color blind. Which means I can't see color. Dogs are like that too I think... they see in black and white. Something about rods and cones in the eyeball.
anyway, I wonder... since I'm about to get into editing etc... if there is a plug in or something I can use with cs5.5 ( or upcoming releases) to do automatic color correction on things I edit ????
So that I get the right color.
Not for " me " , you understand, cause I can't see color anyway... but for " you " and others that can actually see colors.
I'm not thinking of myself here... like a selfish user of program.
I'm thinking of your own happiness.
Any suggestions ???

Rod,
Just so that you know, I was not poking fun at the color blindness "thing." I take eyesight very seriously, especially as mine is going.
I can no longer get to 20/20 with glasses, and only with contacts. However, as I suffer from astigmatism, and to a degree, where contacts cannot correct it, I am caught in a gray area. My near vision is also declining rapidly too. I now need to wear the contacts for sports, long daylight driving, etc., but then need at least two pair of different readers for almost anything within about 20', with one featuring anastigmatic correction. Get me into a dim restaurant, and I need readers to even see my food, but different readers for the menu. With night driving, I need readers way out on the tip of my nose, to see the dashboard clearly, but not to interfere with my distant vision. With my glasses, I use one set for distance, one set with anastigmatic corrections and graduated focal lengths (works well on the computer, but makes walking down stairs tricky), and then a pair with lineless bifocals, for general near-to-far. It's tough getting old, and having to carry around a box of various glasses, and contact lenses, switching out, depending on what I am doing - oh, I also need sunglasses of a couple of types, as well, since AZ has very bright skies with lots and lots of sun.
For me, I am fortunate, as the color recognition is still quite good. It's just the eyesight that is going, but at least those poor weak eyes ARE healthy. Being the visual person that I am, I would hate to imagine life without my sight.
No, no joking on my part.
Not sure what's up with your cross-word puzzles. Maybe the authors are all Craig's neighbors?

Different colors for color labels - more visible for color blind folk like me

I would prefer any combination of these colors
Bright Red.
Yellow.
Light Blue.
Navy Blue.
Bright Pink
Dark Brown

Any progress on this one? LR2.1 color labels seem sort of washed out or too transparent. Something more bold and bright perhaps? User selected or different color sets as already suggested? This request has surfaced more recently in other LR forums.

O.T. See The World As Colour Blind People Do

Came across a reference to this fascinating site in this week's issue of 'Amateur Photographer'
If you suffer from colour blindness,know someone who does,or are just plain curious, it's well worth a look.
There's also a section showing how babies see the world.
http://vischeck.com/
'Vischeck is a way of showing you what things look like to someone who is color blind You can try Vischeck online- either run Vischeck on your own image files or run Vischeck on a web page. You can also download programs to let you run it on your own computer.
Roughly 1 in 20 people have some sort of color vision deficiency. The world looks different to these people: they often find it hard to tell red and green things apart. This often means that they sometimes can't see things that 'color normal' people can see .
Many pictures, documents and web pages are hard for color blind people to read because the people who designed them didn't think about the problem. Vischeck lets them check their work for color blind visibility. It is also interesting to anyone who is just plain curious about what the world looks like if you're color blind.'

Malcolm --
An interesting tool -- I tried it out on some of my web pages.
One thing to note is the "1 in 20 people" actually should read "1 in 10 men". The rate of color vision problems in women is quite small. Also, the red/green and blue/yellow problems are the highest but there is a lot of variation in how they are expressed. True color blindness (that is, you see no color at all) is very rare.

Need your help I am color blind and need help ASAP

I am color blind and need help with this issue. I have the 8520 and t-mobile service. I went to the accessibility wizard and chose the reverse color mode. That is black background with white font. Here starts the problem when you select this option it changes your photos into negatives and also changes the home screen to bright gray . I can not see these colors. What I need is almost like looking at old DOS font Black backgrounds with white or yellow fonts. I have been trying to find a theme but no luck.
The option of reverse contrast would be great if it did not flip photos or the home screen.
Can someone please help me
I would be happy to talk to you in detail to better explain the problem.
Thanks in advance
TJ
I posted t this message in the wrong area before. I hope this is the correct area.
Mods please remove the message posted in the 8300 series area thanks TJ

Just a follow up on this matter. I spent most of the day and a few hours at work on this problem.
I called T-mobile and was transfered to Blackberry support within T-mobile then to Blackberry RIM . They asked the same questions as everyone else said how much they wanted to help. After about an hour they gave up. They could find no apps or themes that are basic black with white font. The tech could not explain why the designers fell short with reverse contrast . I ask this question why would a programmer or anyone want to see all photos in negative media. I spoke with a local news station about this whole matter and they said give the store one more attempt to make it right. T-mobile said they would sell me another phone at a discount but would not take the Blackberry back because I was out of my7 14 day window. note I have been trying to fix this with T-mobile starting 12/04/09 when I bought the phone. So buyer beware....
Back to the matter. a very simple fix could be done by BLACKBERRY make a theme for the 8520 that is black background white font in all areas. Leave the internet as normal ie: browser let photos look like they should and sell the theme or app like everyone else.
To be honest if I knew how to do it I would build it myself and give it away for free people need this type of theme.
Thanks for reading my rant everyone.

Can choose 5.1 in Audition CS6 for monitoring, but not in Premiere Pro CS6

System: Z820, Win 7 Ultimate x64
Audio: Creative SoundBlaster Recon3D PCIe, Altec Lansing 5.1 speaker system
SW: Master Collection CS6
I've been using Premiere Pro CS6 for a while now, but only for stereo video projects. I recently started working on a short film and needed 5.1 Surround Sound as well. I created a 5.1 surround track in Au, and have been able to monitor the sound and surround panning effects in Au during development. Here are the Audio and Channel Mapping settings I used to get my 5.1 to work so I could monitor it:
As can be seen, I've chosen the default MME Device Class here, and all seems well. I have 6 channels identified and mapped to the right corners. I've also confirmed my Master Track in Au is 5.1 Surround. I exported a 5.1 WAV and imported it into Pr, into a 5.1 surround session, confirming that both the track where the WAV file landed and the Master are both 6 channels (and although the order is displayed differently, the content correctly mapped from Au into Pr).
Now, my fun began. When I monitor the audio in Pr, I hear only Stereo. So, I check my channel mapping in Pr, as shown below:
As can be seen here as well, I've chosen the 'default' Premiere Pro WDM Sound. I've learned that WDM is a newer version of MME and encapsulates all the functionality of MME. I'm not sure why Au uses MME and Pr uses WDM. However, as shown, with WDM chosen, I only have 2 channels in the mapping dialog to work with, not the 6 I have (and had in Au). Nothing I can do will produce those other four channels.
As seen in the drop down captured in the above screen grab, I also have ASIO4ALL installed, but that too only shows 2 channels in both Pr and Au. Interestingly, when I hover the mouse over the speaker selection in the ASIO4ALL control panel, it only indicates there are 2 channels (but indicates that there are 6 INPUT channels). The Creative SBZ Series ASIO option is no better, providing only 2 channels.
So, I was off to check my system settings, which are all shown below:
As seen above, Windows knows there is 5.1 surround on the system, and the Test available in the bottom left dialog proves that each speaker is configured and working correctly. Audition also knows there is 5.1 available on my system and uses it correctly as described earlier. However, Pr refuses to recognize this and as a result I am unable to monitor any 5.1 surround projects on my system. If neither Au nor Pr worked, then I'd mark it down as Sound Card or Driver issues, but since one Adobe product uses the system audio correctly, and the other doesn't, it leads me to believe that it is Pr who is at fault.
So, my question is this: Why won't Pr recognize my 6 output channels like Au does?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Shane

ryclark, I believe you are correct in that Au uses MME while Pr uses WDM, but both MME and WDM (which, according to the Microsoft specification, encapsulates ALL of the MME capabilities, and expands on them) are 5.1 capable. I can play my export from Au as a 6 channel interleaved WAV file as well as an AC3 conversion of that same file in both VLC and Windows Media Player and get the same 5.1 channel surround sound field I do from Au.
After more research, I'm beginning to think this might be a result of the fact that Pr is 64 bit and Au is still 32 bit in CS5.5 and 6. I don't know if Au CC is 64 bit, but if it is, I'd be interested to know if what I am seeing is reproducible in the CC versions of Pr and Au (to eliminate the 64 bit vs 32 bit argument). Some have suggested that perhaps the standard SB driver is only 32 bit, although it 'supports' 64 bit supposedly, but maybe Pr just can't handle that 32 (faux 64) bit driver. A possibility.
Thanks for the read and response. Seems lots of people are in this boat together. You have recommended elsewhere to use an external audio interface, but just to do 5.1 monitoring (I don't do any live recording to my PC, this if for movie sound post/mixing) sounds pretty clunky. At the least, I think I'd need not only an external audio device with at least 6 channels out, but a receiver to take those outputs, and 6 new audio speakers to connect to that AVR. I currently use my computer's soundcard, as you know, and your standard 5.1 powered computer speaker system attached to that. Not the best, I know, but at this point, I'm just going for surround, but THX, so it is sufficient ;-).
Cheers,
Shane

LCD for Color Grading

I'll need to dive into Color when I finish editing my one-hour long documentary in a couple months. The doc is intended to be shown on a large theatre screen one time, then broadcast on community-access television and lent through our regional public library system on DVD. My question(s): Can the Apple 30" Cinema Display be used for color grading? Or HP's 2480zx LCD Monitor? Would the Spyder3Elite Display Calibration product be useful? Thanks in advance.

Interestingly enough, the options for trying to push a computer text display into being a grade monitor are narrowing down to nothing. The harder people have been trying to make a silk purse out of these sow's ears has resulted in the inevitable conclusion that hey, there really is no such thing as free lunch. Even the vaunted ACD's after watching two of them for nearly three years now, can't hold a calibration for more than a couple of hours and then go magenta. Its because we need so much green to make D65 white. Those poor green dots just peter out and then red and blue take over. So you better be fast, because you will be working with a different monitor for the second half of the day.
An interesting thread on a pro telecine site has been discussing the HP Dreamcolor... the general conclusion is that it is probably great for a cubicle farm full of compositing and animation artists who more need a match between them than truly accurate colorimetry. At least its consistent. A high end grading device company member warned against using certain types of "probes", since at varying resolutions of display, you really have no idea what the thing is integrating to come up with a white point.
One of the really huge things that is missing is the ENVIRONMENT that the grade is taking place in. Sure, the monitor is important... but almost equally so is the room in which it is situated... its ambient illumination and the requirement for a constant contrast neutral 18% D65 background against which to judge the monitor itself, not just what it is trying to display.
That's one of the reasons that the COLOR GUI is that "ugly" grey.... even though its probably not grey at all if the monitor you're using to display it is whacked. Every time you look at it... it is influencing the balance of your target image. Imagine you're the beer taster at the world's finest brewery.... and what (hold on a minute while I savour the fantasy.... okay, I'm back) but between samples you take a big gulp of vinegar. Right. Is that going to work?

Is the Upload to Server feature working in CS6 for Mac . . . or any of the export modules?

No, unfortunately the photomerge ui plugin will not work in photoshop cs6 on the mac side.
You can always use photoshop cs5 for those times when you really need it.
In photoshop cs6 you could align your photos manually as best you can, then select all the layers and go to Edit>Auto-Blend Layers>Panorama with Seamless Tones and Colors checked

Advice for logical workflow for color correcting and color grading

I am an experienced user of PPRO CS5. I am a novice with color correcting and color grading. I am also just barely competant in AE CS5. It has been suggested that I use AE for color correcting my footage. Can you advise me as to the most logical workflow for doing this in coordination with PPRO CS5? Are there some tutorials that you recommend? I subscribe to Lynda.com and I think that they have some great tutorials, I am unsure as to where to begin looking and what to search for.
Thanks so much,
Lisa

You can do it that way, sure. But you don't have to. You can accomplish quite a lot without leaving PPro. This has two major advantages. First, if you aren't using AE for anything else, it gets you out of using AE at all, so gets you out of climbing another set of learning curves.
Second, even if you are using AE for other things (I use AE to make motion lower thirds, for example), doing the work in PPro can improve exporting speeds. This is because AE gets restricted to a single processor core in some workflows as discussed in this thread and others (search around if you're interested). This can make exporting take 3x as long or longer, depending on how much footage has to be processed by AE.
So, how to do color correction without leaving PPro? Use either a luma corrector or luma curve effect to set black and white points, and contrast (use a waveform monitor to help). Then use a three way color corrector effect to get rid of any residual color casts (use the vectorscope to help, and the RGB parade, etc.).
If you find you have specific colors that need to be fixed, you can apply another three way color correction effect and use it to make that secondary color correction (for example I find the blue dyes used in many labels tend to fluoresce under fluorescent lighting, and has to be desaturated with a secondary color correction or it "blooms" on an HDTV -- IOW, it has to be made "broadcast safe").
If you want tutorials for using these tools, the ones on Creative Cow by Andrew Devis are quite good, and free. The ones on color correction with PPro cs6 start at tutorial number 47. There's a bunch of them. All good.
Finally, get a copy of Van Hurkman's Color Correction Handbook. May be the best technical book I've ever read, and it'll certainly point you in the right direction for doing color correction work regardless of which tools you use to do it.

Color blind users and default color scheme

Has anyone else had to support color blind users, and found that the default OBIEE color scheme (e.g. for line graphs) didn't work for them?
I was going to file an SR about this, but wanted to see what other folks were doing, if anything.

Hi Dog Lover!
Have you had any luck finding information since your original posting?
There are resources on the internet that offer those with normal color vision a glimpse at what colors a color deficient observer might perceive, but I haven't heard of any tools for doing the reverse...
The actual in-the-brain process of color sensation isn't fully understood yet, so anything that simulates what someone with color deficiency might see is an educated guess at best.
Check out www.colorhelper.com. There's a software product called the eyePilot that allows you to distinguish a single color apart from any others on a web page or other sources of visual media. I don't know how accurate it is, and I haven't tried it myself, but there's a trial version available so perhaps it could be useful.
Your best bet would be to have someone you know with normal color vision check your web pages and give you feedback on what colors work well together. You can also check color coordinate values (RGB, Lab, etc.) on images in Photoshop by using the eyedropper tool and the "INFO" information window.
Hope this helps!

PhotomergeUI.plugin is not working in CS6 for Mac

I am using Photosho CS6 on a Mac. I urgently need the PhotomergeUI.plugin to be working. It was working in Photoshop CS5 after conversion to a 32-bit version. CS6 for Mac is only provided as a 64-bit version. Is there any way to make the plugin work for me? Many thanks!! Simone

Color Blind - Color Management help

Hello all.. I was wondering if there was some utility out there that can tell me how to best match colors for design of sites? I am partially color blind and matching colors isn't possible for me. Is there a tool i can use that I specify 1 color, then it tells me all the colors that i can use to match to it properly?
thanks

No english version of CS6 for China?

I have been contacting Adobe office in China several times and they told me no english version of CS6 for China, only chinese version is available!
This is unacceptable and i'm very curios to know WHY!
So non-chinese speaking people in China cannot use CS6? Are you forcing me to download the free cracked version of your software?!
At the mean time i'm also trying to contact Adobe in U.S., one online customer service told me I CAN purchase English version as well...when i told this to the customer service in China, they told me this online support might be wrong...........uhhhh, are you kidding me?!
So, any official answer to this? and more importantly, solutions?!

FCP export to Vegas for color correction

I work in FCP, I don't have the best eye for color, so I'm having a friend do the color correction with a PC, using Magic Bullet and some other software. Rather than exporting the entire film, or entire scenes, which he'd have to go back and cut into individual shots in order to edit them all individually with their own color treatment, he has me exporting every shot from the film and exporting them to his harddrive or DVDs for him to work on. I've been doing it a scene at a time. It's incredibly tedious, very easy to screw up (if a shot goes a few frames long and under another shot, for example, it's out of sync, and if I forget a shot, mislabel a shot, get out of order when labeling them, etc, it's out of sync, etc), and I'm sure, at some point, I'm going to screw it up and it's going to be very annoying. Is there any more practical way to do this so that he has the markers, the shots are cut already, etc, but he doesn't have to reconstruct it from a thousand shots I've exported one at a time? I don't want to make him go back and make all the cuts himself, either, though that actually seems slightly easier to me.

"I don't have the best eye for color" means I'm color blind. I don't appreciate the "learn the 3 way" comments. You can learn to drive a manual all you want, but if something in your brain tells you train tracks are highways, you're bound to run into trouble. And a train.
The other editor lives an hour away, and he hates working on a Mac. He came here once and tried to edit using my system, but he couldn't get the hang of it. Add to that he came an hour each way to do that, and I had to pay for his gas, that made it very expensive, timely venture. It also means he'd have to have, say, at least 4 hours set aside each time he wanted to edit, to travel here and make it worth his time to do so. At home, he can do it anytime.
