Different Colors and Lights during import of a converted DNG

Hi all,
i've recognized a problem if i want to import a DNG file whis was previously converted by the Adobe DNG converter.
I'm using a Pentax Camera which generates PEF-Files of about 10 MB each. I'm using the DNG converter to reduce disk space (the converted ones are only 5 MB included the JPEG preview).
Now i've seen that the pictures doesn't look like the original picture if i import them into lightroom. They are less colorful and 'colder' than the originals. This could be seen directly if i import one file in two formats (PEF, DNG) side by side.
It looks like Lightroom/ACR doesn't recognize the embedded camera profile correctly. After opening the file with the DNG profile editor (from Adobe Labs) it looks correctly and i can see, that the Pentax-Profile is used. But this doesn't do either Lightroom or Photoshop CS 4 with installed ACR.
In a different tool (Capture One), i can see also the differencies and the profile 'DNG default' is unsed. In this tool i'm able to select the camera which is used for taking the picture. If i do this, the colors look correctly as soon as i change it.
Any ideas for this? I bought Lightroom for a lot of money and i don't want to change my tool again.
Thanks

Hi Dave,
yes, thats generally what i want to do.
I have the PEF-Files out of my camera and i convert them with the Adobe DNG converter to the DNG format. The old Pentax K100D is using uncompressed PEF, thats why the pictures are twice the size than the converted DNG
If i import these files for further processing into Lightroom, they are looking similar to the originals viewed with another application (e.g. the pentax development tool) for a second, after that Lightroom is changing the preview to the settings of the Adobe Profile. Colors are much more colder and less colorful. If i try to change the profile in the developement tab, there are no visible changes to the picture.
I've downloaded the DNG Converter and Camera RAW. There are several profiles included, but i don't know how to use them with Lightroom or Photoshop CS4 (with installed ACR).
I've created a screenshot of the differencies so you know what i mean.
Screenshot
On the left side you can see the developed JPEG via PEF out of the Pentax-Software (Silkypix), on the right is the developed JPEG out of the DNG via Lightroom. Both files are without any further changes to the development process.
The left picture corresponds to the original conditions.

Bad versions also for different color and contrast!!!!! Help

hi,
the master sharper than version is an issue for me also knowing that is due to antialiasing in monitor scaling (I print 200+ sport shoots in 1 hour at the end of ski races after racers seen them on monitor and give me ok for print - and need a fast but good software).
But further to this my AP2 on MBPro show the message "Proofing Profile: Apple RGB" at the bottom of the viewer for each image. If I press P key for Quick preview the message disappear but the master images is much more contrasted, darker, and of a different color (and sharper) but much more good than version!!!??? How can i work on a so bad version and also in full screen mode!
Speed is now good, but if no more good suggestion will arrive Ill'be compelled to swich back immediately to 1.5.6 or try again Adobe LR.

You've turned on on-screen proofing. Go to View>Onscreen Proofing to turn it off.

I switched the usb port and did the whole recovery holding of the buttons ect... And it worked, the computer detected the phone and i was able to click restore. However, the computer says preparing iphone for restore and it is still doing the restarting thing where the apple fades away and then comes back like it is restarting. If i can somehow get past this i will be able to go back to factory settings and resolve my problem, but this is where i am stuck.

Ever noticed that Auto Tone performs slightly different adjustments when applied during import as opposed to when applied in the Develop module? I've just run some experiments using LR 5.7.1 Camera Raw 8.7.1 using Canon CR2 images. 3 out of 4 test images

I received two email replies (BriPhoto & Rob Cole) to my above post, which are now missing here. I only mentioned Auto WB because of this statement in your PDF posted here Shared Cat:
"Apply auto WB and Auto tone to an unmodified photo and note the changes.
Apply auto WB and tone to another photo with very different exposure and tone and note changes to confirm that changes are different and do depend on the content of the photo being operated on (assumption)."
You are now saying:
"However, in this case we are talking about the SAME raw file, imported from the camera's CF card twice. One is imported with no preset, then the Auto Tone preset applied, the other is imported with the Auto Tone preset set in the import module. Both files have the SAME WB setting (As Shot) and the same Temp and Tint, as you would expect. The only differences (in LR) are in the tonal values."
I repeated Import of the two copies of your 14BD3913 CR2 file (14BD3913.CR2, 14BD3913-2.CR2) following the above procedure. The Tone values are identical for both using LR5.7 on my Windows 7 SP1 system. I cannot duplicate your issue as outlined above.
Is this the Auto Tone preset you are using on Import?
Two other things you can try:
1) Reset your LR Preferences file:
http://members.lightroomqueen.com/Knowledgebase/Article/View/1148/198/how-do-i-delete-the- lightroom-preferences-file
2) If that doesn't correct the issue I would try uninstalling LR5.7.1, delete the LR Preferences file, and then reinstall LR5.7.1 using a fresh download.

Credits scroll with different colors and txt size

I am trying to do a credits scroll with different text color and size How do I best do this. I understand how to do it with text/scroll but that doesn't allow me to do different text colors and size. How do I do it with Boris Crawl?
Message was edited by: Tony Brave

Hi -
Mark an In and Out where you want the roll to roll.
Load Boris Crawl in to the viewer and edit to the timeline.
Double click on the clip in the timeline.
On the control tab for Boris Crawl you can set it to roll your text:
!http://www.spotsbeforeyoureyes.com/Boris%20Crawl%20Set%20Roll.jpg!
Then click on the box above that where it says click for options and create your roll:
!http://www.spotsbeforeyoureyes.com/Boris%20Type%20Example.jpg!
Once you have typed and formatted your text, click apply and you should be able to see the roll.
The speed of your roll is basically determined by the length of the clip on the timeline, the Controls tab for the clip gives you lots of subtle and not so subtle adjustments - like a soft wipe at the top and bottom of the crawl, etc.
Hope this helps.

After Rendering Video turns a different color and looks hazy

I've used Adobe Premiere Pro for about 2 years and I have never had this problem. After I render my video, the color and clarity of my video completely changes. I have only used a sharpening effect and a brightness effect to fix a few details. I also have removed these effects and rendered, and it still messed up the color and clarity. I have tried to reinstalled the program and it didn't help. I have tried to open a new project with some video to see if the rendering issue was just with my project or the whole program and it still did it. So now any video for any project has this issue and I have never experienced this before.
I am wondering if I have hit a hot key that has changed the outcome of my video....
If anyone knows anything about this problem or has experienced something similar, please help me.

I am just rendering files and viewing them in my preview screen to see what I am doing before I export.

Lost Titles and Keywords during Importation from older Mac

I have a brand new MacBook. The Apple store where I bought it transferred all my files from my old iBook G4 to the new machine. BUT . . . most of the 3000 photos in my old iPhoto (Vers. 5.0.4) file omitted all of the keywords and most of the titles during the transfer to iPhoto (Vers. 6.0.6). I think the shop used Migration Assistant for the transfer.
I have tried 4 times to re-transfer, using Apples recommended method of "Import to Library . . ." using a firewire connection. But I have no better luck than did the Apple shop: most titles and all keywords missing.
The importation also gave me something that I really don't want: The Original of every photo that I ever modified in the past now shows up in the Library. I guess it is important to have the originals stored somewhere, but why aren't they in a hidden file somewhere -- not right up there demanding attention every time I use iPhoto?
I've been a Mac user since the beginning of time, but am now wondering (especially in view of the thousands of questions from other users as bewildered as I) if Apple hasn't gotten themselves into the category of "If you are smart enough to do it, you are too smart to try it". Should I just forget iPhoto, and put all of my photos into folders of my own creation, and manually copy all titles and keywords from my old Mac while I still have access to it?
Thanks in advance for your advice and suggestions.

First off, there is no part of this process that involves using the 'import to library' function. If you want to do this, you'll be creating a new library and will lose your titles and keywords.
The job is to get the iPhoto Library Folder from the old machine to the new machine.
When you applied BatchMod, did you tick the box to apply to enclosed folders?
Assuming that you did, then we're into file management issues. The usual things that prevent copying are File Permissions (and you've sorted that) or a damaged file.
We'll try an copy the library over piecemeal, and see if we can track down the errant file. This is tricky, as we need to recreate the library exactly or the library won't work.
On the New Machine Create a Folder in the Pictures Folder and call it iPhoto Library Folder.
From the old Library, copy all the ancillary files - just the files, anything not in a folder.
If they work, start moving through your Year Folders. If one doesn't copy, leave it and go on to the next one.
Then, repeat the process until you discover the problem file(s) or folder(s) - it'll be one that won't copy.
Remember, it is vital to make an exact copy of the iPhoto Library Folder on the new machine.
Post back when you've got this done.

Iphoto 11 weird rotation/color and crashes during editing?

So,....Seemingly, everything is working fine, i upload photos from camera, organize them, make deletions and then begin to edit a few photos..... and then suddenly only a few minutes in to workflow...BAM!.... the current photo I am editing turns a dark red and rotates completely upside down and the entire program locks up. I have to unplug the computer and restart!...and of course I loose whatever editing I managed to get done
I can open iphoto and begin again only to have this entire scenario unfold again
just upgraded my mac mini march 2012 to Snow Leopard and Iphoto 11 and have had this problem ever since!!
I want to add PSE for further editing options, but am afraid to add any more confusion to my misbehaving mac program!!
Can anyone PLEASE tell me what is wrong and how to fix this?
Thanks,
Paula

First try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If you have no problem editing in the test library the problem is caused by your existing library.
If that's the case make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of your library and apply the three fixes in order as necessary.
Fix #1
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your HD/User/Home()/ Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your HD/User/Home()/Library /Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #3
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
If the test library performs the same as your current library then a reinstall of iPhoto is indicated. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/ folder,
Click to view full size
Then install iPhoto from the source it came from originally and apply all needed updaters.

Setting GPS IPTC Longitude and Latitude During Import

Hi,
Is it possible to set the longitude and latitude (GPS coordinates in the respective IPTC fields) during insert and have the info automatically being written back into the original image?
Thanks,
Draellme

Hi
No, unfortunately not. Aperture can't write the GPS data into the master files. You could use a software like HoudahGeo to do that.

An LED indicator that changes to 3 different colors and fades between each

Hey everybody,
I'm trying to make an LED indicator that is hooked up to a scale. The scale will always read between 0 and 20lbs. What I need this LED to do is start off blue or green. Around 10lbs it needs to gradually fade to yellow, and at 20 it should do the same thing but to red.
I've tried using a color box with a case structure and also a picture wheel, but all I can come up with is hard color changes from one to the other. The fading between colors is what's killing me.
Any suggestions are very much appreciated.
Solved!

My ipod 5th gen has been acting up. Its been shutting off at random times and appears to be glitching out. The screen would go different colors and when it would turn back on my recent texts and stuff would be deleted.

My iPod 5th gen has been doing this for awhile, though it progressively got better over time, it still happens occasionally like when I'm out running. My iPod is never able to connect strongly to any WiFi network. All the WiFi networks keep disappearing and then coming back, and this is infuriating because it wont let me sign in to iTunes or IMessage at all or update my iPod easily. My date and time keeps getting off track and every time i set it back to normal it just gets messed up again. Now it wont let me connect to iTunes and receive push notifications. I tried logging out o my Apple ID on my phone but now it wont let me sign back in. WHAT IS GOING ON HELP PLEASE!?!?!

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

WPF: How to make the Column and Row separator more wide and different color in datagrid?

Our application uses WPF.
One of request is make the DataGrid column separator and row separator more wide and use different color and remove original black separator of rows and columns.
Which template we need to modify to make it? Thx!
JaneC

Hi Magnus,
Thanks for replying our question and provide your suggestions!
Now we know modify both HorizontalGridLinesBrush and VerticalGridLinesBrush we can change the DataGrid cell separator color.
Following your suggested, we modify the DataGridCell as following:
<Style x:Key="Body_Content_DataGrid_Centering"
TargetType="{x:Type DataGridCell}">
<Setter Property="Padding" Value="2,0" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type DataGridCell}">
<Border BorderThickness="2" BorderBrush="{StaticResource PageBorderBackground}" Margin="-1">
<Grid Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" VerticalAlignment="Center" Height="42">
<ContentPresenter VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
</Grid>
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
<Style x:Key="DataGridStyle1" TargetType="{x:Type DataGrid}">
<Setter Property="HorizontalGridLinesBrush" Value="{x:Null}"/>
<Setter Property="VerticalGridLinesBrush" Value="{x:Null}"/>
</Style

I go on-line and the typing is blurring (different colors) had this before.

Had this problem before, and was instructed to delete a certain update, and it worked, but now it's starting to come back, not as bad, but will it get worse? the letters are different colors, and blurry.

Earlier this year there was a problem update that affected fonts in Vista but not Windows 7.
There was a Windows update a couple years ago that caused font display problems in Firefox on Windows 7 ([http://www.infoworld.com/article/2614344/microsoft-windows/windows-7-patch-kb-2670838-fries-firefox-fonts.html Windows 7 patch KB 2670838 fries Firefox fonts | InfoWorld]). Does that sound like what you might have uninstalled before? I'm not sure whether that is still a problem or whether Mozilla updated Firefox to work around it.
