Editing colors of an imported JPEG image

I have imported this jpeg into illustrator. How do I edit the color of the image, as in the color of the letters?

Unless you trace it and rebuild it as vectors or re-create it from scratch using type tools and the original fonts, your options will be severely limited like applying effects and tints only. You are simply using the wrong program. AI is not meant to edit pixel data in this fashion. That's Photoshop stuff.

Lightroom color cast question of JPEG image

Lightroom color cast question of JPEG image
Camera Canon MKII Color Matrix Adobe RGB
Photoshop CS Color Setting Adobe RGB (1998)
Lightroom 1.2 as new lightroom user I did not think that I needed to choose a color setting or color profile until I am ready to print my photos. I have not done any preset camera calibration.
Link to my website with example photo http://www.basecampphotos.com/color.jpg
My question is why is Lightroom displaying the images with a yellow color cast ? The image is a print screen from Lightroom on the left and Photoshop on the right The color cast problem can be seen in the white walls of the stairway. Also when viewing the image with Windows Picture and Fax viewer the walls are white as expected.
Any ideas or suggestions as to why Lightroom is displaying the images with the yellow color cast or what I need to do to correct the issue ?
Thanks
Jim

Almost definitely a corrupt monitor profile. Time and again this turns out to be the cause of such differences between PS and LR. You need to recalibrate the monitor or if you do not have a hardware calibrator, delete the profile from windows' monitor properties pane to test and then get a hardware calibrator.
P.S since you are using adobeRGB jpegs, Windows picture and Fax viewers cannot give you the correct colors even on a calibrated monitor. Those are not color managed programs (I believe picture viewer finally is in Vista but definitely not in XP which you appear to be using). Also, PS has to be correctly set up to always preserve embedded profiles and to ask when you have profile mismatches, otherwise even PS will give incorrect color. Make sure to set this up in Edit>Color settings.
P.S.2: Make sure you are not applying defaults in Lightroom to your images either on import or elsewhere. Sometimes people by accident define develop defaults that in this case might contain a white balance shift. Go to LR preferences and open the Presets tab. Here click on "Reset all default Develop settings" and make sure that only the auto grayscale checkbox is ticked. For images that it might have already happened to, make sure to hit the reset button.

Imported JPEG images are too light

Imported JPEG images appear lighter/brighter than the scanned image.
How can I make JPEG images appear with the correct lightness/brightness so they look like the actual book or magazine from which they were scanned?
Using Apple's "Preview" to look at a JPEG- everything looks fine. But when a JPEG is imported into Motion 4.0.3 (and/or Final Cut Pro 7.0.3), the image appears lighter/brighter, as if it's washed out. To see if this is just the way a JPEG appears in Motion and not how the finished product will be, I exported a Motion project with one or more JPEGs as a QuickTime movie. The QuickTime movie does not bring the JPEG image(s) back to the "correct" lightness/brightness as the scanned image.
Settings used:
JPEG image, using a CanoScan LiDE 210 scanner, Color Space: RGB, Color Profile: sRGB IEC61966-2.1, current Monitor Gamma setting on the scanner is set to 1.80
How can I make JPEG images appear in Motion (and Final Cut Pro) so they are true to the source from which they were scanned?

Does it do the same thing when you use TIFFs?

When importing jpeg images I am getting 2 dupplicates need fix.

When I import jpeg images from Sony a77 camera to my windows 7 computer I am getting 2 more dupplicates, the 2nd one has noise that looks like rectangles . Is there a fix for this? It is on elements 10.

For Importing from Camera, I am guessing you are using 'From Card or card reader'. The media imported in this way is imported via Adobe Photodownloader. Can you please check if the option for 'Automatically fix red eyes' is unchecked? It would be good if you can paste the snapshot of the import dialog you are using. I am guessing some setting in import dialog is causing this issue.

How to make Photoshop save Aperture imported JPEG images as JPEGs

Recently, I upgraded from Photoshop CS 5 to CS 5.1.
My point and shoot cameras record in JPEG format. Often, I'll import those photos into Aperture and then tweak them in Photoshop using the Edit in External Editor command. My preferences for the external editor in Aperture were set to 8-bit, Photoshop
With Photoshop CS 5, I would edit the photo and choose Save and the edited photo would be saved back to Aperture as a new version, in a JPEG format.
Now, using Photoshop CS 5.1, when the imported image from Aperture is converted into a PSD file and when I save back to Aperture, I end up with a PSD file.
How can I revert to how it was before? JPEG image in Aperture, opened in external editor Photoshop as a JPEG, edited in Photoshop, then saved back to Aperture as a new version JPEG?
(Though this question is approached in this forum, a solution to my question is never found as each dicussion ends up going off-topic from the original question)

Any further ideas from anyone who's experienced trying to open a JPEG from Aperture in Photoshop as a JPEG?
Like I said before, you cannot open a jpeg as a jpeg, the file must be decompressed to open in PS or in Aperture, and that has always been the case.
I do not know how it used to work, but I tested and you are correct that with PS 12.1 and with Aperture 3.2.2 a JPEG sent to open in external editor (PS) is opened into your choice of lossless format and then goes back to Aperture in the lossless format you chose.
IMO this is the way it should be, because every save into JPEG loses image data, so such saves should be limited to the final export, in this case when the image actually leaves Aperture. If the file was compressed as a JPEG when leaving PS, decompressed and edited in Aperture, then compressed again to export as JPEG from Aperture, unnecessary additional image data loss would occur.
It is always better to save the application of lossy compression until the very last step in a workflow because other usages (printing, for instance) may occur before applying the lossy compression.

.VOB Editing S/w to add jpeg images to the .vob video file and run in a loop

hi,
I have 2 .vob files with me which i need to run in a loop seperately on the plazma screens. In addition to it, in one of the video (.vob) files I have to add some jpeg pictures at the end and make the video looping. I have tried a lot but could not find any relevant software to do so Any ideas??? I am kind of new to this video editing thing... i tried to convert it into avi or mpeg formats but in that case when i call it in other program like flash the dimension and resolution on full screen mode gets distorted.
Please let me know how can I edit this .vob file and integrate images to it and make it rum in a loop.

Can't import JPEG image Unrecognized format

Can't import black and white JPEG to iPhoto. Says unrecognized format. I've imported many black and white JPEG images.

You didn't ask a question. You must made some statements.
With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
where are the photos from?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?

Importing jpeg images from camera to IPhoto

I get the following error message when uploading jpeg images from my camera to IPhoto in my macbook air- "iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image".- any ideas?
If I try to import just one image at the time I get the following error-
"The following file cannot be imported. The file is in an unrecognisable format"

What version of iPhoto? Of the OS? What camera? Does your camera mount to the desktop? Have you tried image capture? Have you tried a USB card reader? When did you last reformat your camera memory card using the camera's format command?

Imported jpeg images are too dark

I understand the reasoning behind the dark images when shooting raw. Mine are imported as jpegs so shouldn't I be able to vew & edit them as I see them in other software
The world explains this for raw files but I cant find anything on JPEG. This has been the case since I purchased lightroom a few months ago. But one time for a few days light room
actual displayed all the files in library and develop mode as I see them in the thumbnails.

Fireworks CS3-Color changes when importing Photoshop images

Hello,
I created a background image in Photoshop CS3 but whenever I import it into Fireworks CS3 the color changed. It seems that the saturation level is changing. The hue is close however. I tried using the color palette to type in the exact RGB & Hexadecimal number but it is still not working.
Please help. Thank you

Here are couple of good articles on the color profile-Web export issue:

Best size to import *jpeg images?

I am creating a DVD movie slide show containing video clips, music background, and many *jpg still images. The images are in the 16 x 9 aspect format, but are very large size files, around 1.5 to 2.7 MB. I can reduce the size as desired. I usually reduce them to 10 x 5.614 inches at 100 px resolution resulting in files that are 200 - 600 KB. In your experience, what is the optimum size for still images to be imported into the media assets panel, or, does it matter at all? Thanks.

What are the current pixel dimensions of your jpg still images (width and height in pixels)? File size is not the target property here, pixel dimensions are. In video, inches have no meaning. Think pixels. Inches, ppi, and dpi have significance in printing, not video.
What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
What are the properties of the video that will be included in this project?
With regard to photo sizing in this type of project, the classical not to exceed suggestions of the forum moderator Steve Grisetti are 1000 x 750 pixels (for SD project settings) and 2000 x 1500 (for HD project settings). When appropriate, I opt to use 1000 x 750 and 2200 x 1238 values respectively. With Premiere Elements 11 and 12 on Windows 7, 8, or 8.2 64 bit, these classical suggestions can be extended to a certain degree. If problems in trying that, then back to the classical thinking. Keep in mind that no matter how great the resolution, the end product is reduced to the standard for the export...in this case, DVD VIDEO standard and standard widescreen both have frame sizes of 720 x 480 (NTSC) and 720 x 576 (PAL).
I would look forward to the opportunity to fine tune the above if you are interested and you supply more information.
Thank you.

Editing jpeg image

I need help editing the text in a jpeg image. The image is hard to read when I add it to my Indesign file.

Hello and welcome,
But I think you posted this in the wrong forum. This is one of the Captivate forums, and you are talking about something else.
JPEG is a compressed bitmap format, you will not be able to edit text in such a format. Do you know the origin? With Photoshop you could sharpen the image, but not sure at all that it will make the text readable, and you will never be able to edit the text. Only applications like Photoshop, when you add text in the application, allow that kind of functionality, but not an output, compressed format like JPEG.

IMPORTING JPEGS -- THEY'RE COMING OUT WASHED OUT

I have been trying to import jpeg images into final cut and in the process of importing them Final cut is slightly changing the images so that they're washed out, people's faces look overexposed where they didn't in the originals. I've tried resizing the images and importing smaller ones since the originals are very large but that has not helped. PLEASE HELP! Thanks.

Any luck in altering the Gamma settings of your imported JPEGs within FCP at all?
In case you don't know how to do that, check out the Late-Breaking News for FCP 5, then jump to the section on FCP 5.1.2 (which is when those features were introduced) or, as of this post, page 12.

Problem with jpeg images imported from Illustrator

Hi, i am kind of new with Premire and video, though have experience in web design and coding, but i have noticed a weird problem with premiere pro cs 5.5 when i import jpeg pictures and put them as intro before the video that where done in adobe illustrator and have vectors and stuff, the quality of the image gets pretty bad and blurry...i searched through the internet looking for clues on what to do like changing to png, tiff formats but nothing has helped so far....any ideas on what to do. So when i import jpeg,png images from illustrator (that have vectors or illustrations) do i have to do something special with it, or import it in some special format??? i would appreciate the help.
This is how the image looks on youtube:
Anyway here is the video with its poor image quality. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_oMNzXAZ8Y&feature=youtu.be
This is how it looks originally before putiing it, in premiere pro cs 5.5
Anyway here is the video with its poor image quality. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_oMNzXAZ8Y&feature=youtu.be
THANX guys would appreciate the help!!!

hiya.
video likes 72 dpi ( though some will say it doesnt matter .. thats a long story ). basically video 'shows' 72 dpi ( basically what the monitor resolution is...typically 72 dpi ). As you know from print and dimensions, there is a relative sorta thing with byte count ( file size in bytes ), ppi ( I usually say dpi but in video its ppi ....same thing basically )..., and dimensions ( width x height ).
soooo , as you know in print and web stuff...there is a relationship between number of dots or pixels, dimensions in inches or pixels, and overall byte count of file size....
That said, in "print" it is usually best to go with 300dpi.. In video it is best to go with 72 ppi.....
Also, in print and going offest press.. its nice to go with cmyk ( for color separations ).. but in video and web its best to go with RGB.
The video stuff doesnt deal with vector stuff... it just sees and deals with bitmapped stuff...vector stuff is a mathematical sorta thing whereas video stuff is just plain old bitmaps ( like BMP, TIF, JPG, etc )...
Ideally your still images and graphics in a video editing program would be bitmapped rgb 72 ppi.. and match exactly the dimension of your video format ( eg. 1080p ). That said, it is normal to have LARGER images ( still images and graphics ) than your project dimensions if you PLAN ON SCALING AND MOTION )... like, your original graphic or pic can be larger than the project if you plan on scaling it down over time to make it look like you are zooming out in the video ....
To get the best results of a graphic or picture in a video is to have it exactly the project size ( eg. 1920x1080 px at 72 ppi for full HD ).
soooooo.... if you convert your vector to bitmap, save as psd or tif or something... at 72ppi , with the dimensions in inches or pixels that equals the video ( 1920x1080 for example )... you will see what you want in your second sample ( the original )...
ps.. you can import layers to the video if you wanna do a psd file and have ONE of those layers the one you use in your video ...can label it something like " video layer " ... whatever...

Unable to Edit Imported Jpeg files.

I'm currently using iPhoto 9.6 and OS 10.10. I have created jpg stills from .mov projects using QT Pro and imported them successfully into a previous version of iPhoto where I was able to crop them and make rudimentary color and exposure adjustments. With the new iPhoto 9.6 I cannot. I get an error message "Image Cannot Be Edited. The original format is not supported."
So I am assuming the only way to edit these imported jpegs is to open them in Lightroom or Photoshop make my adjustments and then attempt to re-import them into iPhoto or maybe just stop using iPhoto all together for this kind of file?

Yes "master" copies of files - those located in the iPhoto >>package contents >> Masters folder organized by import date - once they have been edited from within iPhoto (exposure corrections, cropping, straightening, etc) become the master copies.
Bewilderingly vague. They are the masters. They are never edited. The photos are edited and the results recorded in the SQL database. The never "become the Master copies". They are the Masters and never become anything.
To prove this I have selected a master file from with this directory and created a copy of it on the desktop where I gave it a new name, then re-imported it to iPhoto and re-opened it there. It is a virtual clone of the original edited file - edited from within iPhoto save for its name - an "edited master".
If you made a copy of a Master then it's not a virtual clone it's an actual clone. "It is a virtual clone of the original edited file" Huh? What's an "original edited file"? It's a Master or something else? Which is it? There is no concept in iPhoto of 'edited Master'. There are Masters. That's the file as imported from your camera. It is never edited. End of story.
Subsequently from within iPhoto I have chosen the original photo - the one that had been modified to begin with - and reverted this file to its original version. So then I had two masters of the same shot - one edited and one in its originally imported state. Why did I do this (and originate this post)?
No you didn't. You had two masters to begin with and thereafter you had two masters at the end. When you reverted to original all you did was delete the edit decisions for the database and destroy a preview. In no case was the Master touched.
The terminology is important because it explains how the app works. You're conflating photos (which are edited in iPhoto) with files (which are never edited in iPhoto), all photo edits are virtual until baked in on export. That's why the concept and the term Master is important. Edited Master means nothing, Master of an Edited Photo does, but that's a different thing.
Because I could not re-edit or export these affected photos unless I first re-imported them to iPhoto by either locating the original files from storage media or making copies of them from iPhoto's package contents>>masters folder as above and importing them back into the iPhoto library. Once I did this - there were a lot of these affected files - I could edit and export to my heart's content. Remember, these files were modified from within earlier versions iPhoto itself. Yes, some files had been converted to jpegs from original PICT exports out QT Pro using Photoshop Elements.
Because your database was corrupted. It has nothing to do with Masters/Versions or anything else. It was broken.
How do I explain this apparent corruption of the iPhoto library database? Disclaimers to the contrary, I put the onus on having to convert the db every time there is an app iteration which is sometimes coupled with an OS upgrade (like with Yosemite). I suspect that the file metadata is susceptible to corruption during these upgrades. It is the only variable in an otherwise static and stable environment that could possibly result in library corruption short of hardware failure.
That's one possibility. Here are some more: anytime the app is interrupted writing to the database - by a crash, hang or even a power surge, bad blocks on a disk - there are many possibilities..
And again, there is no need to convert the db "every time there is an app iteration". There are updates when it is not necessary. And, as I keep on saying, OS upgrades make no difference. It's app upgrades only.
