Dng colour shift from bridge to jpg's....cs2

Hello everyone. I am very new at this so I really hope that someone can help me.
I have a new eos 5 mark 11.
I use cs2 which doesn't recognise the RAW images. I have downloaded dng and started colour correction in bridge.
I have saved the files as jpg's but........ there is a huge colour shift. They look terrible.
What am I doing wrong?? please help.

I'm trying to figure out the same thing. As far i discovered that Photoshop as default display images without any proofing. Fax viewer in windows is color managed (at least in theory). That's why adobe created sRGB (for viewing on screen).
Try to turn on proof colors (ctrl + y) and set it to monitor RGB. This will show you your terrible jpg's in PS.
Saved jpg's in PS looks brighter, but less vivid.
RAW (converted or not) files saved as jpg's look far worse (terrible, as you said) in windows fax viewer, but I don't know why. Try to compare it, shooting RAW + jpg. Jpg's looks ok (better in bridge), RAWs looks ok in PS, but after saveing them as jpgs... (without proofing) they are so bad! RAW are great, but sometimes it's pointless to shoot in RAWs, becaouse you will have a lot of work to develop good settings. This drives me crazy , when jpg from camera looks better than RAW file (no correction).
You can show bad jpgs as good jpgs in web using photoshop express gallery (I gues it uses same engine as PS and Bridge)

Hex colour shift from Indd to PH, both assigned sRGB

Hi everyone. I am doing some wire framing in indesign with buttons and other colours. I would like to keep everything pretty tight so when I use anything graphics from indesign and place them in photoshop I want the hex values to match. I have assigned both programs with sRGB IEC61966-2.1. But when I copy and paste into Photoshop the value changes slightly.
I have 2 colour with Hex values of:
#59B124 - Green 89/177/36
#FFD911 - Red 255/217/17
Made using the great script by in-tools. But when placed in ph the colour shift ever so slightly. Green becomes #58b023 and the Red becomes #fc1713. Is there any way to make sure when these copy over the colours match.
Thanks
lister

by not including a profile and not colour managing either apps
Not including a profile doesn't mean there's no CM. If there's no document profile assignment, the Color Settings' Working Space is used instead. So without document profiles, and an RGB Working space of sRGB in both programs, the preview of 89/177/36 would be the same. It looks like when document profiles are used there's some kind of conversion when you cut and paste, which shouldn't happen.
You could leave your docs with no profile assigned and then when you save for web include the working sRGB profile

Colour shift from Snow Leopard to Lion

I initially noticed this problem within Lion and Lightroom 4 when printing to my Epson 4800. The colour shifts to a more pinkish hue in prints done in Lion. I'd originally thought this was unique to Lightroom, but the same thing happens to the same file when printed in Preview, so I'm assuming it ithe rhas something to do with Lion or the Epson printer. I'm wondering if anyone else has had this experience and if they have any suggestions. I've read other threads on this here, and I can confirm it's not a monitor calibration issue, and that my printer driver for the 4800 is the one for Lion, and that everything in Lightroom and the driver is configured identically in both versions of the OS.
I'm stuck, and figure the expertise for this is in this forum, so I'm sorry that it seems to be slightly outside of being an Adobe specific issue, but would appreciate any suggestions. I'm able to replicate the problem consistently by bouncing back and forth between the two operating systems. I'm going to try going back to a previous driver version to see if that makes a difference.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Chris

Problem solved. The previous driver for the printer - the 10.6.8 one, did the trick, so I'm going to assume this is an Epson issue. I have a 9880 here as well and it will be interesting to see if the issue recurs there. Of course, if I've missed anything here, please let me know, but I think this addresses the issue, and hope it helps anyone else who may have it as well.
Cheers, and phew.

Can't open files from Bridge in CS6

All was good with CS6 until today - it will not open files from Bridge. Jpg and RAW, neither will open, it's driving me bananas! Any suggestions?
Edit: Problem solved. I had overlooked an old version of PS 7.0 was still in my program files and CS6 Bridge had picked it up as default editor. Deleted PS 7.0 and everything is back to normal. Phew!

Lots of questions here, will see what I can add.
For the file problem go to preferences/file type associations. You should have the option selected CS6 for the extenstion as the default. Might try the radio button on the bottom first to set them to default settings.
If the 1.77g file you are refering to is the one you downloaded and used for installation you can delete it. It is a wise choice to save it to a DVD first so in case you need it in the future you will have it. Also save the serial number in safe place. Acutally safe is not the right word, need to save in place where you can find it if you need it next year. HD can fail.
There are still thrid party plug-ins that do not work in 64 bit mode, hence the 32 bit version. Also there is no 64 bit TWAIN so some still like to use that for scanning.
Some users experience file association and other problems with an uninstall of past versions. So it is safest to leave them be.
If you want to clean up a little resist the urge to move any Adobe programs once is is installed. Can really foul it up.

Saving images as JPG from Bridge

I am shooting images in colour sRGB and RAW which come in as .CR2 files. I work with them in Adobe Bridge (CS5) and then save them as JPGs from bridge. The final JPG images are colour mode is RGB and the colour Profile Adobe RGB (1998). This is causing me problems when I print at the images come out flat. I have been advised that I need the images to be sRGB for print. How do I achieve this with Bridge? It has been suggested that I use the Canon software Digital Photo Professional!! Do I have to?
HELP please.

The final JPG images are colour mode is RGB and the colour Profile Adobe
RGB (1998). This is causing me problems when I print at the images
come out flat.
That sounds more like a color management printing issue.
So you browse the RAW files from Bridge and use Adobe Camera Raw to process and open the file? Yes, there is a setting in ACR to open the image as sRGB. (But, you will probably get better results by learning how to properly print an Adobe RGB file.)

Problem w/12.0.3 installation/ problem opening jpg from bridge

Hi,
I used the update button to update Cs5 to version 12.03
After updating I got a message "update complete but with errors"...
I can't seem to "re" update my software. I tried manually installing the updater and got this
The version number PS shows as running is 12.0.3
Also, since trying to do the update, I have a bug...   Everytime I try to open a jpg by clicking on the thumbnail in Bridge I get "Adobe CS5 has stopped working" message The only way I can open a jpg is to open with ACR....
If I click a jpg from Windows Explorer, it will open in PS. just not from Bridge. I do have the correct setting in preferences to use PS to open jpg files
Thanksfor your help.

The most common reason for patch to fail is the absence of folder "AdobePatchFiles" folder or it's content from location "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe\AdobePatchFiles" and it's counterpart location in Mac.
If this folder or its contents are missing then the patch cannot be applied , the only way to resolve this is to Reinstall the product and then apply patch again.
Now there can be two cases :
1) Was this folder removed manually or some other action caused this removal of folder( May be some script or Defragmentation or anything). In this case please reinstall product and apply patch again.
2) If the folder and its contents are intact but still patcher failed, then please follow the following steps:
     a) Create ribs3debug file without any extension inside %temp% directory of your system
     b) Run Patcher again
     c) If it fails , send the log files that are generated inside C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Installers
Hope it clears some of the facts around failure. If there are any underlying issues then we all hope to resolve them as soon as we have more information.

Cannot open some jpgs in Camera Raw from Bridge

A couple of days ago, I rated select images from a set as 5 stars, and now I cannot open these in Camera Raw from Bridge. I get no error messages or anything, there is just simply no option to Open in Camera Raw from the File menu, or the right-click menu. The images I did not rate still open in Camera Raw, and not all of the starred ones have this problem - just 20 or so consecutive images. This makes no sense to me, as all the images as far as I can tell should operate the same way. They are all jpgs. I can find workarounds to this like working in Photoshop (all the images still open in Photoshop) or possibly just reloading the photos from the memory card, but I'd like to know why this would even be a problem to avoid it in the future. I'm using CC on Win 8.

I should add that JPGs edited with ACR usually need to be writable for ACR to be able to store the adjustment-settings inside themselves. RAW files typically use an XMP sidecar to store settings, but JPGs typically don't.
If the files weren't read/write then ACR would have no way to store the adjustments in them and so is smart enough to not make them available for editing.
The other hint is that if you copy the files to your desktop--where the permissions are likely to be more friendly, they work.
To check the permissions, right-click on one of the files in Explorer, select Properties from the context menu and look at the Security tab. Look at the various user-groups, like Users, Authenticated Users, Administrators, etc, and see what access each has to one oft he problem files, and then to one of the files that works ok.
You might also check the Effective Rights of a particular user to a particular file by clicking on the Advanced button in the Security tab. Here is an example where I show only Read + Read & Execute access to an NEF for general users, but when I check my own logged in User (steve) I have Full Control which includes all the other access privileges, and this is either because I'm in the Administrators group or I am the owner, I'm not sure. It is possible that Bridge or Photoshop is running in a user context other than your logged in user, or it's possible that another user accessed the files and changed the permissions to them.

Sending photos from Lightroom to Photoshop - covered with colours? Opening from Bridge they are fine

Sending photos from Lightroom to Photoshop - covered with colours? Opening from Bridge they are fine. Does anyone know how to set up the monitor from advanced to basic? Someone said that might be the issue but I can't find any area in control panel where it has the option?

You need to supply more information and screen shots of the problem would also be useful.

How do you export you DNG pictures as a batch from Bridge CS6 for web?

I am trying to find the fastest way how to do it from Bridge. Now I make some basic corrections with all pictures in Camera Raw and then save them as... with same lower resolution for the web or preview purposes.
How do you make it? Thx

Weird colour shift on TV through HDMI

Hi,
I'm using my TV with XBMC to watch videos on my computer more comfortably, but even since I changed my computer the image get those weird shifts where it goes black for about a second, comes back on looking weird, then about 20 seconds later it's one second of black and then back on as normal again. But if I change channel on my TV when it happens, and then switch back to the HDMI channel corresponding to my computer, the image is fixed. I've tried timing this issue, and it seems to appear roughly every 20 minutes, but it can appear twice in 5 minutes, or not at all in 40...
Because an image is worth a hundred words, I took a picture with my phone during one of these colour shifts, here's what it looks like: http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/3284/imag0063gc.jpg . As you can see by the xbmc menu looking weird too, this is not the video's fault.
I've also tried switching the cable, but the issue remains. I've been using this setup for a while, but as I said, I changed computer recently, and part of this change was going from a nVidia card to an ATI one, more specifically a radeon HD 7870, and I'm using the official AMD driver (which is kind of required, since the free driver apparently doesn't support sound over HDMI for my card yet).
It's probably worth mentioning that my primary display, which is plugged in VGA, does not have this issue. Also, I have a Windows dual-boot, but I have yet to test if this issue also appears on Windows (which is kind of a pain to do, due to the randomness of my issue...).
I've tried googling this for days and have yet to find anyone reporting the same issue, but seeing how English isn't my native language, I might not have used the right keywords...
Because I guess this is relevant, here is my xorg.conf on pastebin: http://pastebin.com/2eWPKnt2 . This was generated using amdcccle, so it should be legit (though I do miss nvidia-settings, amd got some work to do on their GUI tool). Not sure if this is relevant, but just in case : to launch the computer on my TV, I use this xorg.conf (named xorg.conf.TV in my system), and start X with the following command (through an alias, of course):
xinit .xinitrcTV -- /usr/bin/X :1 -config xorg.conf.TV
And my .xinitrcTV containing the following:
setxkbmap fr
xbmc
xterm
So here I am, and I don't really have any idea what I could do to fix this problem... Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Batch image processing from bridge cause photoshop to crash

But first it goes ahead and processes the images selected in Bridge. All of them like even over a hundred at a time (great time saver!). Then displays a message for each image in one error dialogue saying, "Sorry Photoshop couldn't process the image. . ." for each image.
It also saves the images to the a folder above (in hierarchy) instead of the folder I select in the batch dialogue. I've tried using Batch process from within Photoshop and get the same result as image process from Bridge.
While I am able to do the processing I need, it's annoying to have the force quit Photoshop each time, and Then to move the processed images where they belong.
I am on a G5, 4mb ram, OSX 10.4.11. Photoshop CS3 #10.0.1, and bridge CS3 # 2.1.1.9.
I usually do the updates when I'm alerted, but haven't heard of anything recently.
Any ideas?

Hi SSPrengel
OK - maybe this will shed some light
Try changing the size to something very small.- see below
Try changing the compression. Not affected by the level of Quality (2% 50% or 100%) - all fail to load
Try changing whether a color-profile is embedded or not. Not an option AFAIK in LR Export
Try changing if the metadata is minimized or not. Not an option AFAIK in LR Export
Try changing if the JPGs are exported relative to the source image or some fixed location. Exported to a specific location.
If I use the Image export resize option it loads OK (resize to 1000*673 from 3916*2634).
Older exports (from LR2.3 and earlier, of the same size image, and source DNG are OK)
A centre crop from the Image (1205*691) is OK. A marginal crop (2 edges) (3838*2552) is OK whereas a very slight crop at (3693*2614) FAILS
The camera is Leica M8, images is in Leica RAW format (DNG).
It appears to be function of Image export size (reduced either by Cropping or by 'Resizing on Export'
Looks like a bug in LR2.6

?'s About Transitioning from Bridge to LR

I have a couple of questions before installing LR and importing work already done through Bridge. I searched the archives but didn't see exactly what I'm looking for - apologies in advance if I missed it.
1) I have been reading about using stacks, "virtual" copies, etc. so that I don't have to have actual duplicate images. Awesome paradigm shift for future work. BUT, I'm wondering how to deal with a related scenario for previous work. I shoot raw, and I often setup a directory structure like this:
2007-03-17_soccer/ (where Raw files sit)
2007-03-17_soccer/Converted (where files converted to jpg, psd, etc. sit)
2007-03-17_soccer/Converted/5x7 (where 5x7 cropped print file sit)
My file name for a given image is the same in each of multiple directories. For example, an image might be named "img-123.jpg" in the Converted directory, the 5x7 directory, the 8x10 directory, and so on. I have tended to distinguish images based on crops, etc. via the directory structure, opting to keep file names concise so they don't get truncated when uploading to my lab.
How will LR handle this when I import? And if I use keywords for Metadata to find images under this scenario, how do I keep LR from giving me all of the duplicates. Without renaming all of my older files, is there a good way of handling this in LR when I import and set things up?
2) All of my Raw files already have XMP's in the same folders as the images. I love XMP's because they maintain my Raw conversion settings, and when I backup to CD/DVD and am ready to delete files from my hard drive, I can backup the XMP's with the files and always have my conversion settings.
When I import these existing files that already have XMP's, what will happen? Will LR recognize these existing XMP's and their ACR related settings? And what if I make additional changes to one of these Raw files via Lightroom - how would Bridge deal with this if I were to view the file in Bridge at a later date?
Thanks!
Mark

Thanks guys, appreciate the feedback.
CHRIS - you are exactly right about my FUTURE workflow. What I'm trying to figure out now is how to best handle images already processed. My import should be OK based on the way I have duplicates in separate directories, BUT I'm wondering how to avoid seeing all of these duplicates in LR when I search by keyword, etc.? I guess I can somehow flag the RAW files and only get them in my results.
One question though - Stacks, etc. sounds great for the LR processed images. But what about variations based on processing in Photoshop after the LR Develop stage? I guess in this case I will just have to keep duplicate images if I have multiple versions from my PS work?
ISAAC - Thanks for clarifying that LR will recognize my XMP files from Bridge. What about the opposite direction . . . if I edit something in LR and capture this via XMP, it won't prohibit Bridge from recognizing XMP info if I access a file via Bridge, will it?
ALSO - Do you know where I can find info about tracking via XMP vs. the central database? You mentioned a couple of valid points, but I'm not sure I have a full handle on the pros/cons of these options.
Thanks!

Colour shift when using 4.2 Edit In to adjust a NEF file in CS6

If I choose Edit In and CS6 the resulting image in CS6 shows a marked colour green/yellow colour shift.
The LR4 external editor is configured to edit using ProPhoto RGB with 16 bit TIFF.
However, if I use the Export option with the same settings and then open the image in Photoshop it is fine.
Equally, if I first convert the NEF image to a DNG and then use Edit In with the same settings it also appears fine in Photoshop. This would appear to rule out any issues with monitor profiles (monitor profiled with i1).
Therefore this appears to be an issue with NEF files (Nikon D3) using the Edit In facility.
Also for some obscure reason it also does not always give the option to Edit a Copy with Lightroom Adjustments and just goes straight to Photoshop (even though it has been adjusted in Lightroom!).

manicfoto wrote:
Richard, perhaps I have not made the issue clear. If I import an image into Lightroom and choose Edit In Photoshop it should go straight to Photoshop as no changes have been made in Lightroom. However, if I make any adjustments in the Develop module and choose to make further changes in Photoshop I should have the option to Edit a Copy with Lightroom Adjustments etc. This dialog is not offered consistently.
If I make a change in Photoshop it should (and does) correctly save it as a new TIFF file. Again if I make any adjustments in Develop module and then choose to make further changes in Photoshop to the TIFF file it should still offer the dialog box with the copy options. Again this is not happening consistently.
Richard correctly explained how 'Edit In' works with raw files, at least that's the way it does on my Windows 7 64 bit system.
When selecting 'Edit in' with a raw file the 'What to Edit' popup with options for 'Edit a Copy with LR adjustments,' 'Edit a Copy,' and 'Edit Original' will not appear. Instead a TIFF file is created in system memory with LR adustments applied, which then opens in PS. Until you hit 'Save' in PS the TIFF file resides only in system memory. Once you hit 'Save' or Save As' (with the same folder location) the TIFF file will appear inside LR with both the LR and PS adjustments applied.
manicfoto wrote:
trshaner, I have done some further testing of the DNG files, and they do, in fact, also exhibit the same colour shift behaviour, although the amount of the shift seems to depend on the original image - some images show a more marked shift than others which was not obvious to me at first.
This is consistent with LR output rendering engine problem if both the NEF and DNG copy for a specific image take on the same color shift. Since the effect is very subtle on a single conversion I can see where you might have confused the DNG as looking OK.
manicfoto wrote:
I then performed another test with a TIFF file and although the change was smaller the colour definitely shifts, with the amount of shift being determined by the contents of the original image, so I have to conclude that I have the output rendering issue mentioned earlier in the thread.
Incidentally, the colour shift issue is also found if I use the option to Open as a Smart Object in Photoshop.
I have re-installed Lightroom 4.2 but the problem is still the same.
To really confirm that this is being caused by the LR output rendering engine you will need do an additional 'Edit a Copy with LR Adjustments' to the TIFF file. This will create a 2nd TIFF file, which you can then select and then 'Edit a Copy with LR Adjustments.' I would do this at least three times to insure you can see the "cumulative' effect from the LR output rendering engine conversion. You will want to compare the last TIFF file (4th) with the original (1st) TIFF file.
Please try this and post the histograms for the original TIFF and last Tiff with three cumulative 'Edit a Copy with LR Adjustments,' or confirm that's what you have already done in the above posted histograms.

Colour shift when placing PSD files into illustrator

Hi there
I have tested this issue on CS 3,4 and 5.
bascially if I create a CMYK document with a colour image and save this down as a psd file with the coated Fogra 39 embedded in it. If I create a new file within Illustrator with the same colur management and place the psd file into the document and check the link option (so it is a linked file), the colour shifts when using the colour picker. If I print the document from each APP they visually look different as well.
If I place the psd into illustrator without selecting the link option the colour has the same CMYK values as the psd within Photoshop and also prints correctly.
i can only assume that there is an option somewhere in regards to the "link" option and how this changes tha colour values somewhere? If not is there anyway I can get around this issue so I can use linked files without the CMYK values changing?
Thanks in advance
Paul

Hi guys
Thanks for the responses.
I use bridge to blanket the colour settings so this i feel this is not the issue here. If you have a moment and would kindly create a colour tint within PS of what ever colour, save this down as any format and place this into illustrator with the link checkbox checked you will see the colour data has physically changed for the CMYK values. This results in the prints looking different as well. If you deselct the link check box when placing the file the CMYK values are the same.
I tried the overprint preview option. This changes the viewable colour on screen but not the CMYK data of the file.
There seems to be a fundamental floor with this link option for some reason.
I might have phone Adobe direct for this iisue as I cannot find a fix for this.
Many thanks
Paul

Why does paintbrush not work on images opened from Bridge?

This problem may be due to another cause but the most common occurance is when an image is opened from Bridge so I've posted it here. Here are the details.
I have had tons of problems with CS4 on my desktop PC but seem to have most of them resolved with a new video card, updated driver and help from an earlier thread. In fact, I thought all problems solved but this one has persisted. If it matters I'm running Windows XP service pack 3, 4gb of RAM of which 3.4 is available. It has an 2.67 GHz Intel Core2Duo cpu.
If I open CS4 and open an image, all paintbrush tools (paintbrush itself, clone tool, healing tools, etc) work fine. Sometimes I can work for hours with no problems. Other times these tools simply stop working. When this happens seems random. For example, the other day as long as I did not send anything to print, all worked fine but after printing a few images the tools stopped. Other times I've printed and the tools still worked. Sometimes if I open images direct in Photoshop using file -> open, all is well but as soon as I launch an image from Bridge, tools don't work. Other times launching from Bridge works fine, BUT more often than not, it seems to occur after launching from Bridge, hence the post here as I already noted. I've tried to trace down a common set of circumstances but it is too erratic.
What is interesting also is that the use of the tool shows up in the history panel as a step taken. There just is no visible effect on the image. This problem has been present since CS4 was originally installed along with several other problems. In the course of attempting to solve them all, I have deleted preferences and allowed them to rebuild, I have actually uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop multiple times.
More confounding is that CS4 works fine on a clunky old laptop with less RAM and a much, much older video card. I also, as a test, ran the 30 day trial on the computer I'm using here. It too is older and less RAM and that worked fine too. So it seems to be saying there is something wrong with the computer used for photo editing or the video card. Don't think it's the card. I bought a new one. It didn't solve any problems so I bought another and it corrected many of the other issues I was having. Indeed after installing the latest drivers for this card, absolutely everything worked perfectly for almost two days but now this paintbrush tool issue is back.
So what the heck can be going on that is cumulative or is there a hardware component that is erratic or have I missed something in CS4? Man I love the power of the program and the improvements since CS3 but if I have to shut it down and restart it every single image, clearly that is not feasible.
Many thanks for any help.

Well, now I'm an idiot. I fired up without the tablet plugged in and
paintbrush worked fine on all files. I then left the image open I had just
painted on, plugged in the tablet with pc still running, no paintbrush
function using tablet mouse. Without unplugging the tablet I again tried
the regular mouse and paintbrush worked fine. So it's not a matter of any
sort of conflict with the tablet being active, it sure looks like a tablet
malfunction. It still mystifies my how this tablet is so smart it can tell
the difference between psd and jpg but there it is...can't argue with
results. Still, one last thing confounds me and that is the tablet works
fine on all file types in CS3 and every other app I have. If there was a
malfunction with the tablet, wouldn't you think it would misbehave on all
apps? Could it be that the tablet needs a new driver? You must've had a
clue to recommend this course of action. Now that we're here, what do you
suggest or should that be another thread?
By the way, if it matters I had already upgraded vc drivers and CS to 11.0.1
before this started.
