Different look in DNG PE and ACR why??

Hello,
I've tried recently to match ACR with my favourite settings from Nikon Capture and I cannot understand how tone curve ajustment works. When I set tone curve in DNG PE to best look (as in CNX2), and then load this profile into ACR my photo looks completely differently (it's much darker). I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but in ACR highlights are much more compressed than in DNG PE. All sliders in ACR are set to zero and so are tone curves. Please look at below thumbnails to see the difference - it's "Camera normal" profile, but it perfectly shows what I'm talking about.

I had this also with Lightroom and found the following.
The profile editor takes the DNG file and applies brightness and contrast to it. Unfortunately this is not shown or noted anywhere.
Then you can change the curves and co. and save the profile.
If I now use that profile in LR, I assume ARC does the same, I have to allow them to do the same adjustments as PE with brightness and contast to fit what I have seen in PE.
I have also seen that this is the case for my Canon RAW/CR2 files using the Adobe provided camera profile. Profile is used but brightness and contrast are up as described.
Regards

Right steps to use DNG Profile Editor and ACR

What is the right sequence of steps to do to use properly DNG PE and ACR ?
Must be converted the RAW in DNG directly, without open the RAW in ACR ?
Must be opened the RAW file in ACR, reset the ACR values to zero and then convert the RAW in DNG format ?
Must be converted the RAW file in DNG and then reset the ACR values before apply the camera recipe created ?
thanks in advance,
federico

thank you Massimo,
the procedure is clear now.
"What is the nearest original Adobe profile that is so "equal" to the GM one you obtain?"
what i want to say is that when i open the file raw in ACR i see some colors. when i apply the profile generated by PE, i see about the sames colors. i notice that the colors are about the same without the profile (little differences i see in the darken tones but only in the ACR graphic). this with my D700. with the D200 the differences before to apply the profile and after are strong, visible.
Grazie Massimo,
credo sia tutto chiaro adesso anche se mi lascia perplesso il risultato finale.
"What is the nearest original Adobe profile that is so "equal" to the GM one you obtain?"
quello che volevo dire è che con o senza profilo, praticamente l'immagine con la D700 varia di pochissimo (me ne accorgo solo leggendo il grafico in ACR). con la D200 invece, applicare un profilo ha un impatto molto evidente, le differenze sono marcate.
grazie
ps: your english is right. it is mine that does not work so well.

Why do RGB colour references look different on screen in Illustrator and Adobe Muse?

Prior to a December upgrade to CC versions of Illustrator and Photoshop and an upgrade to Muse, RGB colours looked consistent in all 3. Now they do not and I don't understand why there has been this change. I cannot see a way of pulling them all into line. I always synchronise colours via Bridge.

For colors on the web it is best to use web safe colors. Non-websafe colors can and will give different looks in different browsers and file types.

Windows XP and Windows classic result in different look for JTable

We have a JTable with JTableHeader. If we set look to Windows classic both header and data are aligned correctly but if we use Windows XP the header and data get misaligned .
How can this be fixed so it works for bot classic and XP.

Why do you keep asking the same question over and over again in different threads? The source for WindowsTableHeaderUI is available, and if it has a bug, you'll have to extend this delegate and provide a fix.

Different portrait rotation behaviour between LR 4.1 and ACR 7.1?

I've only just recently got my hands on LR4 and have noticed a strange behaviour with 4.1.
As a bit of background, I shoot in Raw [Nikon D300], usually edit in ACR/PS then I use iPhoto to keep my finished Jpegs in so I can show slideshows on my Apple TV and readily sync photos on my iPhone. Historically I've taken finished images from Bridge and dragged them into iPhoto and all has been well.
However, I noticed something odd with my latest export of Jpegs from LR in that portrait images don't appear to be handled well. When I play a slideshow the portrait aspect photos are squashed to fit a landscape ratio. The Jpegs look normal in Bridge and also in Finder and Preview. They actually also initially appear in the correct aspect when viewing iPhoto events too. On digging a little deeper, if you try to edit one of these files in iPhoto it appears to be rotated on its side.
Now if I take the same Raw images and edit them in CS6 and export them into iPhoto they work completely fine.
What gives? Is there some form of rotation tagging descrepancy between the two Adobe products? Any idea of a work around?
[FYI runnning Lion 10.7.4 on a 2.8 Ghz i7 12Gb iMac with all products patched and up to date]

Hi Brett, it was the latest at the time, although it's just been updated again with the release of Aperture 3.3.
At any rate, I've not had a problem since. I should perhaps qualify my statement above, when I typed "reimporting from scratch", I meant downloading the Raw files from my cards again. After that all was fine, perhaps a hiccup on the initial import? I'll report if it happens again.

Why are some jpg images scrambled when they appear in my screen saver? The same images look fine in Preview and Finder. Some images appear scrambled in the screen saver 'preview' window and the actual screen saver. Other jpg images look fine.

The desktop image is fine, taken from the exact same pool of jpg photos. However, as soon as the slide show screen saver comes on, the images are scrambled. What is it about the apple screen saver algorithm that scrambles the pics?

Color in both Bridge CS5 and ACR look yellow.

The color in my images are all yellow. I've seen some posts but so far no answer to the problem. Can anything at all be done to fix this problem. It it very, very frustrating. Because it's so yellow I cant use ACR for anything at all. Please help
Igor

Ok, for anyone having this problem with both Bridge cs5 and ACR. Here is what solved my problem. All images were looking yellow both in bridge and Camera Raw, so after I did a back up of my harddrive as a System Image all problems were gone! I have no idea what happened, but now the colors are just fine. The problem corrected itself. So, there you have it. Problem fixed.

Different look in brightness and contrast in Color as in FCP

Hello,
I've got a problem since the last pro applications update. Since then my clips got a different look in brightness and contrast in color as in FCP.
If I send a clip from FCP to color, it looks more dark with higher contrast. If I send it back to FCP you can see the made changes, but the brightness is higher and contast lower again. And I mean a huge differnce between the both programs.
Before, it was like identical. So, in the moment, it is difficult to make exact changes and the worklow is not so efficent anymore.
Has anyone the same problems or an idea to solve the problem?

That tech note specifically discusses how FCP's assumption about RGB files forces it to handle their gamma differently than "YUV" based file formats.
Relevant bit:
Final Cut Pro assumes that QuickTime movies for codecs that support the YUV color space (including DV, DVCPRO 50, and the 8- and 10-bit Uncompressed 4:2:2 codecs) are created with a gamma of 2.2. This is generally true of movies captured from both NTSC and PAL sources. When you eventually output the sequence to video, or render it as a QuickTime movie, the gamma of the output is identical to that of the original, unless you've added color correction filters of your own.
*However, during playback on your computer's monitor, Final Cut Pro automatically lowers the gamma of a sequence playing in the Canvas to 1.8 for display purposes. This is to approximate the way it will look when displayed on a broadcast monitor. This onscreen compensation does not change the actual gamma of the clips in your sequence.*
So what's displayed in the Canvas is an approximation of the "correct" gamma and relies on many assumptions about the media that may not be accurate.

I have my ipad notes linked to gmail and suddenly disappeared when I put the sim card into a new iphone, the funny thing is that almost all disappeared except 4 and with different dates up to two years. Why did this happen? No way to recover them?

Wow, Karan Taneja, you've just embarrassed yourself on a worldwide support forum. Not only is your post ridiculous and completely inappropriate for a technical support forum, but it also shows your ignorance as to whom you think the audience is. Apple is not here. It's users, like you.
If you would have spent half the time actually reading the Terms of Use of this forum that YOU agreed to by signing up to post, as you did composing that usesless, inappropriate post, you (and the rest of us on this forum) would have been much better off.

It will take longer to charge the 5G's battery than either the 3G or 4G's battery.
Not Charge

My boyfriend and I have each an IPhone with two different Apple IDs. Since the recent software his contacts appears in my Iphone. How can I switch that off? I have be looking at both Iphones and Iclouds.

All apps and purchases are linked to your apple ID, so you can't share them across 2 devices that are using different apple id's, it won't work. the purchases that are on your mac at the moment will only work with the apple id they were brought with.
the only thing thats possible to share is purchased music. you have to first covert it to mp3 within itunes, then your bf can import it into his own itunes library and sync with his phone.
