Different colors after export

I had this a time ago from Final Cut Express too.
I do have a short clip from a Canon HF100 AVCHD camcorder, that shows industries at sundown. I saturated the colors a bit to make the sundown a bit more dramatic.
When I export that clip with Quicktime conversation from within Final Cut Express I get different movies with more or less saturated colors after:
- Photo JPEG codec gives fine saturated colors as they were in FCPE
- H.264 codec gives much less saturated colors after export
I had that some time before as I made a simple slideshow in FCPE with photographs from Aperture and in another case with a short movie wherein I used some clips made with different apps like one came from iMove 09 and the other came from Keynote 09. In this case after export with setting for iPhone the colors in the iMovie part were OK but in the Keynote part they were less saturated and a bit to light.
What I miss is a kind of colormanagement like it is available system wide for stills.
What do I wrong?

Well, In this case I had to export the clips for some stock footage sites were each of them do have different recommendations in which format they want the clips.
One site had the option for clips saved as .mov with codec PhotoJPEG for most compatibily on any platform, another like to have the clips not larger as 300 MB were I had to use another codec like H.264 to let the export file smaller than the limit.
The exported files had all in base the same settings:
The H.264 file was exported with compression H.264, quality 75, 25 fps, clipdimension 1920x1080 px
The PhotoJPEG with best quality in color and with the same clipdimension.
Til now, I ccan see the only difference is the kind of compression -> H.264 instead of PhotoJPEG, but with different saturated colors in final file. Why?

  • IPhone 5s Exchange For Different Color After Use

    I got a iPhone 5s yesterday and have been using it, nothing is wrong with it, but I'd like to get a different color. Can I still exchange it for another color if i restore it and put everything back in the box?

    You can ask the store from which you purchased what their return policy is

  • Why black and white photo changed back color after exported?

    The photo I took shows up in black and white but after I exported the photo, none are black and white.  Why is that?
    I can see it as black and white while on the iphone.

    You need to duplicate your color photo. 
    1. Open your color photo in PSE11 Full Edit expert tab (A raw photo will open in camera raw so click the open image button too send it to the PSE interface)
    2. On the Top menu click Layer >>Duplicate Layer >>OK
    3. On the top menu click Enhance >>Convert to Black & White >>OK
    4. If you can’t see the layers pallet to the right click Window >>Layers
    5. In the layers pallet click add layer mask (the icon with a small circle)
    6. Make sure your foreground color is set to black then select the brush tool
    7. Click the mouse over the area where you wish to reveal color and use like an eraser to reveal the background below
    8. To correct errors switch the foreground color to white, then switch back to black and continue
    9. Save as PSD to preserve your layers and if you wish make a jpeg copy from the PSD file using File >> Save As
    N.B. if your brush is too big or too small you can use the square bracket keys to adjust the size up or down.
    The smart brush tool has black & white options but it does involve making selections which can be more tricky than using the ordinary brush.

  • Wrong colors after export

    I don't know if this is related to the color issue with the Eyedropper — http://forums.adobe.com/message/4691036
    Anyway, this is a really serious bug that didn't happen with CS5, but it indeed happens with CS6. When I export an image from Fireworks, colors are completely wrong, as you can see from the attachment.
    Anyone affected with this bug?

    I think this is less likely to be a bug and more likely to be a quirk in the new Mountain Lion OS, though it could certainly be related to the "eyedropper color sampling" bug you've observed previously.
    Are you viewing the exported graphics in Preview?
    According to an online source, untagged images are assumed to be in an sRGB color space in Mountain Lion. This is different from previous Mac OSs, which assumed the monitor display profile (a smaller gamut space, which required no color management). Graphics exported from Fireworks are untagged; therefore, they may be getting "assigned" an sRGB profile on-the-fly by the operating system. This would cause a change in the their appearance—including a boost in saturation, as sRGB is typically a larger-gamut color space than most monitor display profiles.
    One way to test this theory would be to open the exported graphic in Preview and assign it the monitor display profile (go to Tools > Assign Profile..., then choose "Color LCD"); this should decrease the saturation of the graphic and cause it to appear as it does in Fireworks.
    Also, this new Mac OS behavior should affect Fireworks PNGs as well, not just exported PNGs. Do you observe the same color change when you view a Fireworks PNG in Preview? How about graphics output from Fireworks CS5? They should also be affected.

  • Different colors after imported into LR3

    I really i do not know what is this problem related to, but after I imported pitures into lightroom , it makae some modification and change the color of the picture.
    Here are the examples:
    The picture rendered by CDPP, looks as i wanted the picture to look like (also looks like this in the camera), while the one in LR modified the color, I have check the setting in the importer and i do not apply any preset. What am i am doing wrong? or there is a known problem in LR? Note: the render preview option is minimal.
    The other issue i have. is when i shoot a picture with a high iso it ended up in LR with a red color. if needed i can post some exmaples as well.
    Thanks for the help.

    Helena,
    You're right.
    @Cafu_co,
    Lightroom won't automatically match your camera settings, and it never will.
    What you can do is to edit a file in Lightroom so it approximates the starting point that you'd like to have, and then make that the default change to the image that you're presented with after importing. You set the default in the Develop Module: hold down the Alt/Opt key and the button on the lower right of the window changes to Set Defaults... Press it.
    One of the things that you'll want to investigate during that process is the Profile setting in the Camera Calibration panel. Most Canon models have profiles available that mimic your picture styles that can be set in the camera.

  • Bad color after exporting in iMovie 11

    I just got a Macbook Air (mid 2012 model) mainly for iMovie and I have to say I'm disappointed with the export quality.
    I tried the standard export option and that results in a low bitrate washed out(color) video.
    I tried just about every other option in the 'export with quicktime' including increasing the saturation using the filter menu.
    But every option results in a video that has really bad color It's messed up and has a 'blackish' look. WHat I mean is that red lips look a little brownish pink, colors and blacks are darkened, they lack the shine the original vid had.
    In iMovie, everything looks great. Can somebody please help me out?
    The animation codec resulted in a 16gb file for a 3min vid but the colors were normal. But when I played it back in Windows 7, the colors were messsed up again.
    Can someone please tell me the settings (when exporting in iMovie) for the best quality when played back on a PC?

    Fortunately you didn't do anything wrong. Unfortunately iMovie is not geared towards import and editing of MiniDV video the way it used to be.
    DV video shot on a MiniDV camera has lines of video 'interlaced' with one another. So you half the video lines at any one time and your brain combines them up into a smooth looking image. Ever since iMovie '08 came out including later versions ('09,'11), on importing the DV/MiniDV format or any video with interlaced lines of video iMovie drops, or deletes 1 whole set of scanlines. That means 1/2 of the video signal is discarded on importing it into iMovie.Then it attempts to 'regenerate' the missing video by 'doubling up' the video lines that still exist. Unfortunately the side effect of this process is quality visually is degraded, suffers and people are unhappy. The benefit to iMovie, the Macintosh and Apple is it's easier to 'playback' and preview the video as you skim it on the timeline. And it works on even the less expensive, less powerful macintoshes available on the market. You don't need the most expensive powerful Mac Pro to get good performance out of iMovie now. So that's the compromise and trade-off working with interlaced video on any version of iMovie made since roughly 2007. Prior versions of iMovie like iMovie HD 6 were very tailored to MiniDV camera video and were able to maintain the interlaced video data by design.

  • Why don't recently viewed websites show in a different color anymore?

    Yesterday I updated to Firefox 7.0.1, and now my recently viewed websites no longer display in a different color after viewing a website and going back to the original list of websites. I still want to see which ones I have already looked at when researching. Can you tell me how to get this feature back again?

    If you are talking about the color differences between visited and unvisited in the links on your webpages then that that would be affected by any of the following:
    # changing the link colors in your Tools > Options > Content > fonts & colors: "Advanced" for which I have blue for Unvisited and magenta for Unvisited links. I have all three items check-marked "Use system colors:, "Underline links:, and "Allow pages to choose their own colors instead of my selections above".

    I left out the link on the following and have added it, but since the above answered the question, I'm changing this last part to a footnote.
    None of which would be directly related to updating Firefox, but at such times the localstore.rdf file in you profile may be affected (corrupted), and changes made to your toolbars and options will not stick.

  • Color of video looks extremely different (photo negative) after export

    After sending my footage (on my timeline) to Color, I changed the color in the Primary In, then added some Effects in the Color FX section. I added Exposure, Film Look, and Saturation. I edited each one of my clips (with the same settings as I mentioned) and then sent it back to FCP. I rendered the footage. The footage looked great in the timeline. Everything looked just as I wanted it to. But then when after exporting using Quick Time conversion, I played the video and it looked absolutely horrible. When I say horrible I mean the footage looked like a photo negative, it was not even watchable. I had other footage in the exported video that was not edited in color, and that footage was fine.
    Where is this problem coming from and how do I solve it? I would really appreciate help on this issue.
    Here is a link with what my footage looked like after exporting it:

  • Previews in LR 1.0 look different after exporting to 'file'.

    Hello everyone, I'm new to LR and somewhat new to PS (PS CS3).  I'm starting to shoot mainly in NEF but have many more jpgs on file.  While editing jpg's in LR for a Quinceanera (shoot w/ D200,JPEG,sRGB working in Win XP) I've had to, on occasion, finish editing in PS CS3 (blemish removal, USM in Lab, Gaussian Blur, etc.) after saving as a PSD and returning to LR and then 'export' the file back to jpg in a different folder (on Desktop) for easy finding I notice a 'change' in appearance in additional previews that I click on (back in LR) ONLY in the Develop Module!  In Explorer and also the 'final' folder on the Desktop all images look the same (good).  As I move my mouse over thumbnails in the Filmstrip they look fine in the Navigator preview but when I select one, it also looks fine as it is 'loading' but quickly 'shifts' to dull, bland when finished (again only in Develop Module).  I've read a TechNote from Adobe stating ~'... the Library and Develop Modules use different color profiles...'??  in Preferences (LR) I have selected <PSD,ProPhoto RGB, and 16/bit>  and in Color Settings... (PS CS3) I have a Working space as (RGB) - ProPhoto RGB  and in Color Management Policies have RGB set to Off.  My long winded question is this: I this normal and/or should I set my Preferences to sRGB (in LR for PS CS3)?  Anybody have the same issues?  P.S.  I've had to close LR and then restart LR to have this 'problem' go away (no shifting in Develop).  Thanks

    Big A, Thanks for replying. Just to let you know, I went into Preferences (LR) and changed my settings: PSD, sRGB, and 8/bit and also changed PS CS3 Color Settings... :RGB-Working Space to sRGB and left RGB-Color Management Policies to Off (w/ Profile Mismatches: checked for Ask When Opening) just to help remind me when I'm working w/ RAW files.
    Seems to have settled the issue of different 'views' from Library to Develop Modules. Anyways it seems to make sense seeing how Ps and Lr are supposed to work together 'behind the scenes'. There must be an order of things concerning profiles/spaces (what is effective in one app stays effect in the other or maybe LR have 'authority' over Ps due to its 'design'?? Thanks for the help Antonio

  • Trouble with photos looking different after exporting to LR5

    I am new to lightroom 5.  My photos do not look the same after exporting to CD or to a photo lab for printing.  I am exporting to my hard drive before burning to CD.  Can someone help?  I am starting with RAW or CR2 files before editing.

    What export settings are you using. For jpegs I always choose color space as sRGB (unless the printer requests Argb) and then I set print  size, with resolution between 240 and 300 ppi. For glossy paper I choose a high sharpening setting.
    It’s also possible to print a whole batch to jpeg files using the Print Module (see image below). You can then set an output value for brightening and contrast.
    This can be useful as many people using uncalibrated monitors often find prints look darker than shown on their PC. When using for the first time it’s well worthwhile doing a test batch using different settings to see which gives you the best results.

  • Color change after exporting from Lightroom

    I noticed a drastic color change after exporting a file from Lightroom to a JPEG file today. I have been using Lightroom for a while, and it never happened before. I am assuming that I changed the setting somehow and I cannot find how to fix it.
    Here is the original.
    After exporting to a JPEG. The color is so drastically different. I tried both sRGB and AdobeRGB and they turn out to have the same problem.
    It is not as clear as JPEG files, but edited files with Photoshop CS5 also looks slightly different viewed on Lightroom.
    I would appreciate it if anyone could help me.  Thank you so much for your help!

    Thanks everyone for looking into my problem!
    >Can you upload a sample of each
    >* Raw File
    >* XMP Sidecar
    >* Exported JPEG
    I somehow can't find XMP sidecar files in my folders.... So instead, I exported the JPEG file to the 2nd JPEG file, hoping you can compare those two JPEG files.
    The colors get lighter and lighter every time I export the files. I uploaded those files (RAW, 1st JPEG, 2nd JPEG) on line. I also changed the file samples from the original post because I can't add watermarks.
    I checked my flles, but there is no preset applied to the JPEGs.
    I am thinking of unistallng Lightroom and reinstalling it and see what happens.
    Thanks!

  • Colors washed out in lightroom but not after export

    I'm new to Lighroom and don't really have a workflow sorted out. I'm shooting with a Canon 30D and shooting Raw+Jpeg until I learn enough to confidently handle raw files. If I adjust the images in lightroom so that they don't appear lifeless and grey by adding lots of saturation, when I export to jpeg and then view with windows picture viewer to see what the images would look like on Zenfolio in SRGB they are grossly over saturated and clownish. My monitor(Dell 2005FPW) is not calibrated with a calibrator but I am using the adobe prophoto icc profile in an effort to have some color management as I understand that is what Lightroom/CS3 uses. I'm not printing yet but hope to some day, for now I'd just like to upload some photo's to Zenfolio and share with friends and family but as it sits Lightroom is totally unusable as I have to guess what it will look like after export. I'm certain it's something I'm doing wrong or missing and I'm hoping someone can tell me what that is. Thanks in advance, Veet

    Thanks for all the replies, I was beginning to think I was on my own,I'm very happy this thread finally came to life. I did use an adobe Monitor profile (Prophoto) as I thought that was the color space used by LR and had read in some other thread that I should use it. I tried using my supplied profile (2005fpw.icm) and I get an error message from Photoshop stating "The Monitor profile"Dell 2005FPW color profile" appears to be defective please rerun your monitors calibration software. I then have the option to ignore the profile or to use it anyways. I actually stumbled accross the huelight ACR's and tried them out but that didn't help. Photoshop has the same bland lifeless look as LR does. I d/l a trial of Elements 5 and it was also the same so it's adobe across the board. Color space and color management are totally new concepts for me
    so I'm really at a disadvantage trying to trouble shoot this, I can bandy these terms about, but I suspect I don't really grok them fully as of yet. I'll be happy when I finally get my monitor calibrated, I understand now that it won't be a magic "fix all" :( but at least I'll have a solid point to begin building a color managed system. Other Raw converters don't seem to have this problem but as I am just now developing my workflow I'd like to master one program and I think I'd like that to be LR as it seems to be the one that encompasses the entire workflow ie. rating,cataloging,flagging ect. and I feel it would probably mesh best with Photoshop which I also plan to learn/use. I'm feeling pretty stuck and not very inspired to shoot atm as the exposures just keep piling up and aren't being integrated or dealt with appropriately. I don't have auto tone checked off and I'll see if I can track down an updated driver/profile for my monitor, one which isn't "defective" as Adobe puts it. Thank you for all the replies, I will get this resolved eventually and any help you guys can give me is more than appreciated.
    A few questions should I shoot Adobe RBG or SRGB from the camera and does it matter for RAW? My understanding was that in order to use 16 bit I needed to be in AdobeRBG.
    Which profile should I use for photoshop? as I can set the color space in it
    After I calibrate my monitor will I be able to use that profile for the various pieces of software I'll be using?
    I think I have Color Profile and Color Space meshed in my mind and thats probably very wrong. Thanks, Veet

  • Lightroom displays different colors in 4.1 and after update

    Hello Community
    I Had LR 4.1 recently for about a year. Everything worked fine. Until now. Due to graphic card repair, I was forced to reinstall Windows. But before - I produced some DNG's for future use.
    After reinstalling W7, I run LR 4.4 and imported my DNG's. It was strange, but they appeared different than I expected - were less saturated and bad looking at all. But the strange thing is - after exporting them as jpegs - they looked fine in external apps (Irfan View, Chrome, etc.), importing them as jpegs back to LR didn't help - Lightroom displayed them badly.
    The first thing I did was installing back the 4.1 version - everything was fine here in both LR and external apps - completely identical pics.
    I did test LR 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 5.0b - all of them failed in proper images displaying.
    What causes such weird situation ?
    I also remember - some time ago I reported in this community - similar situation - after upgrade 3.4-3.6 - exactly the same problem. I moved back to 3.4 - and forgot about problem.
    Can anybody help me ? I was going to buy LR5, but if beta has the same issue, I won't do it.
    My system is:
    HP laptop DV3-4050ez
    i7-720qm
    8GB RAM
    ATI Radeon 5400 series
    500GB 7200rpm

    Hello,
    I had this problem as well - the upload to Blurb would not work. Creation of a PDF and export as JPEG in the book module worked.
    For me, the solution was to turn off the Windows Firewall while uploading. Now it works!

  • Red color clips after export to H.264

    Dear friends,
    I am very new to try use Color. I sent seq. from FCP to Color, changed some clips use Color FX, and than back to FCP.
    After export seq. from FCP to H.264 for web, some of the clips appeared red.
    Thanks for any answer.
    Libor

    Do you mean red render bars or the clips are actually Red? With Color you should avoid H.264 until after any rendering. ProRes or Uncompressed are the best codecs to bounce between Color and FCP.
