Difference in RAW reading between Photoshop and Lightroom

Hi All
I have today noticed that Photoshop and Lightroom does nor read a RAW file the same way. Both running the 4.4.1 engine.
Here is a screen dump from PS, showing quite a lot of Highlight clipping.
http://picasaweb.google.dk/taasti/PSVsLG/photo?authkey=1J4sXZ_SvZw#5191662550019326466
And here is the same picture shown in Lightroom:
http://picasaweb.google.dk/taasti/PSVsLG/photo?authkey=1J4sXZ_SvZw#5191662618738803218

ACR will show clipping relative to the chosen color space, while (correct me if I'm wrong) Lr will always show clipping relative to ProProtoRGB.
You might want to convert a raw to DNG so that ACR settings will be embedded, then develope in either (choosing PpRGB as a pref in ACR), and then inspect in the other. It may even be useful to first make a copy of the DNG, name one Lr, the other ACR, and do the same thing going both directions. [Edit: The final test would be to open both in Ps ... and report back.]
What's your OS platform, and with what method have you calibrated your display? Are you using dual monitors? (none of these ?s will affect the degree of clipping, but might affect the brightness)
It's a fetch, but is there any chance the clipping level can be set as a preference? (ie, '252') Or is clipping simply defined to be off the histogram. (ie, '255')

  • How to break the link between photoshop and lightroom when saving a photo?

    I've had an ongoing issue with saving copies of photos I import from LR to PS and back into LR. Any multiple copies I make get erased when they move back to LR. My solution has been to save a copy in an extra folder apart from Lightroom and import them in later. It's rough, but it works. But now I have a new demon.
    I tweaked a photo in LR, made a copy to keep it safe, then sent the copy over to PH where I did some magic. I Saved As in that special other folder, closed the tab, got the usual box asking if I wanted to save the changes (of course I did), I went back to LR to see both the original and copy changed over to the PS version. I went back to PS, opened the .psd, unclicked the mask, clicked the checkbox, when back to LR and both the original and copy in LR had the mask removed.
    I'm missing something here.
    There m u s t be a way to break the link between PS and LR so that when I save a copy of a photo I made in LR the original and copy remain two separate photos. Does anyone know how?
    Thanks,

    I think I am a little confused. What you are describing seems more like a Project Server "Profile" issue, than a SharePoint to MS Project Sync.
    If my guess is correct, then you just need to set the default profile to be something other than your computer.
    If I am wrong, a screenshot of the error would be really helpful.

  • Big difference in RAW converter between Aperture and Nikon Capture NX

    hi
    here's a quick photo for comparing (hosted on my site since it's huge):
    http://www.raffaz.net/stuff/nx_aperture.png (4.4mb uncompressed PNG file)
    I'm quite disappointed by some aspects of Aperture's RAW handling... or at least, by comparing it to Capture NX.
    by looking at the picture, you can instantly see that NX raw photo is much sharper, and it is nearly perfect (apart from the not-perfect photo itself).
    by looking at Aperture's shot, you can see that it's blurry, with moirè and noise-like problems..
    the screenshots are 100% crops from the latest versions of the applications, using flat settings as you can see (just import, deselect everything the app will do), the camera is a Nikon D70, the lens is a 18-70 f3.5 and the file is a .NEF (nikon raw). settings for the photo are ISO200, f8, 1/15, 50mm on tripod.
    I admit I'm very surprised by this difference. I'm using the trial of NX (just wanted to test it since it's brand new) and when I noticed all these differences I was shocked. I'm not saying that NX is better than Aperture, I think that Aperture is still unbeaten in a lot of fields, but could someone please explain me this huge difference in quality?
    if needed, I can provide more screenshots with other photos

    I dont like Capture NX one bit, its just as slow and sluggish as the previous version. The reason why pics often look better in Capture is becuase Nikon wrote it, after all the NEF format is theres.
    To be honest Capture NX cannot be compared to Aperure there not in the same league, and you can pick up Aperture for the Same price as Capture NX on ebay brand new i would alwasy go for aperture far better value for money IMHO.

    The complete CC has indesign included in it.
    Regarding your second question: CC is the advanced version of CS6 with advanced & additional features & functions.
    The payment plan for education will suit you the best since you are studying.

  • Camera differences between Photoshop and Photoshop Elements

    Does photoshop elements support RAW in the same way as the full programme does through Bridge?

  • Can't get Camera Raw widow to open between Photoshop and Bridge.

    Okay, so I can't get the Camera Raw editing window to open between Photoshop and Bridge on my new computer. I used Migration Assist and synced up all files from my old computer, and the Camera Raw setting still works fine on my old Laptop. And even images that I edited/adjusted in Camera raw, they automatically pop up in Camera Raw on my new computer, but images that have not been openned in Camera Raw before, don't automaticlly open in Camera Raw editing window?
    How do I fix this so that all images open through Camera Raw window before in Photoshop??

    What kind of file format, raw or JPEG? If JPEG then you'll need to set your Camera Raw Preferences correctly to have JPEGs open in Camera Raw.

  • Difference between photoshop and illustrator effects?

    Under the effects menu in cs5, what is the difference between photoshop and illustrator effects? when do you use the photoshop ones?
    Thank you.

    The Photoshop effects are copies of similar effects from Photoshop. As such, they can only be applied to raster art, such as that edited in Photoshop. When you apply a Photoshop effect the Illustrator art you apply it to is rasterized in the background and the effect is applied to the rasterized version of the art. If you expand the appearance of anything with a Photoshop effect on it it will be rasterized. The other effects retain all or part of the vector art. When you expand the effect or save a PDF at least some of the original vector art will remain as vectors, although some effects (Drop Shadow, Blur, Feather, Inner Glow, etc.) to add rasterized art to the file.
    The rasterization is non-damaging, in that the original vector, type, or other objets remain fully editable. If you remove the effect the rasterization goes away. There is no dialogue for rasterization resolution in the effect; you set that in Effect > Document Raster Effect Settings.

    Yes, both Camera Raw and Bridge are included. Bridge will need a separate installation, however.

  • Images in Photoshop and Lightroom not matching on external display

    On my external display the same image viewed in Photoshop and Lightroom is diplayed differently.
    My set up:
    Macbook pro running Mountain Lion (10.8.4), DVI connected NEC Spectraview 271. Photoshop CS4 and Lightroom 5. Both displays calibrated using Spectraview 5 software and an Eye one pro puck. Photoshop working space is Prophoto RGB and is set to preserve embedded profiles. I'm using Andrew Rodney's and Bill Atkinson's test images to try and figure this out.
    Behaviour:
    With the same image displayed in Lightroom and Photoshop on the Macbook screen they match perfectly. If I drag the Lightroom window across to the NEC it changes (as you would expect - richer colours & higher contrast). If I drag the Photoshop image across to the NEC it also changes but no longer matches the Lightroom image (cooler colours).
    So, I don't really know whether Photoshop or Lightroom is displaying correctly, and whether they or the OS are to blame. I had assumed it was Lightroom as the image is more pleasing but this obviously isn't necessarily the case. What is clear is that somewhere there is a difference between how Lightroom and Photoshop are converting the image numbers for monitor display on the NEC.
    Does anyone know how to find out what display profile Lightroom and Photoshop are using?
    Is it possible they are both using the same profile but one is not using the NEC hardware calibration? (Seems unlikely as I assume it would be impossible for the NEC to be using different internal look up tables at the same time)
    Could the OS be tripping up one and not the other in some way?
    Could the X-rite software (which I don't use but is installed) somehow be interfering?
    Anybody able to shed some light?
    Thanks for any help,
    Tom

    I'm having trouble with Lightroom 5 soft proofing with reds too.  To rid my propossed print of a gamut warning I must totally desaturate or change my paper profile to glossy (or both).  This is odd because my monitor is calibrated, I'm using the correct paper profiles etc and when I ignore the gamut warning my prints are looking good. This isn't helpful to you but at least your not alone....

    Yes. Many Creative Cloud plans include Acrobat Pro DC with Document Cloud services. Explore Creative Cloud plans.
    However, if I follow the link to Creative Cloud plans, there is nothing to tell me whether Acrobat Proc DC is included in any of the plans. My plan is a yearly individual at $49.99/month.

    Because I listened to Adobe earlier today about whither uninstalling Elements would affect Photoshop and Lightroom on my computer, Lightroom no longer sees Photoshop in the EDIT IN Menu of Lightroom. I found an article on the help site saying to delete the filecom.adobe.Photoshop.plist, which I looked for, its not there so it can't be deleted. The next step is to uninstall Photoshop and reinstall. This isn't an option because of all the plug-ins and modifications of the work space. Does any one have a better solution?
