Element 5.0 Color not right

When I open a picture in Windows XP in "My Pictures" it open with the
right face color.
When I open the same picture in Picasa 2, the face color are the same
as in "My Pictures" OK
But when I open the same picture in Photo Shop Element 5.0 it has an orange glow to all of the picture.
Any help would be appreciated
Please send any help to [email protected]
Thank you, Tau Jensen.

Tau.....
Picassa2 and most browsers are not Colour Managed. Photoshop including Elements is a Colour Managed program. The significance being that Elements attempts to render the colours on screen correctly according to something known as a Monitor Profile and the Colour Profile of your image. These are used by the program to translate the colour numbers from your image to those needed by the screen to get the colours looking right.
If your Monitor Profile is not accurate then this translation may go wrong and the colours may not look right. This may be your case.
Picassa2 doesn't use the Monitor Profile and as it happens the colour numbers in your image may be approximately right for your screen without any translation.
When ever problems like this occur you should Calibrate and Profile your monitor using something like a Huey, Eye-one or Spyder. These devices actually measure the output of your monitor to make an accurate profile. Unfortunately these cost money, so in the first case you could try and make sure that you have run any installation disk that came with your monitor as this may install a generic Monitor Profile. This wont make any difference to Picassa but may help Elements.
Within Elements there are 4 options available under Edit>Colour Settings:-
1. No Colour Management - I wouldn't really advise using this one but if you do it should make your images look like you see them in Picassa - but only if your images are in a Colour Space called sRGB. Other Colour Spaces could well come out wrong.
2. Optimise for Screen - if your image has a Colour Space (e.g sRGB) then this setting has no effect. If your image doesn't include a Colour Space then Elements assigns sRGB to it - which may be right or wrong. New documents created in Elements get to be in sRGB
3. Optimise for Print - same as #2 but substitute AdobeRGB for sRGB.
4. Allow me to Choose - if your image doesn't have a Colour Space then you get a warning and can choose from sRGB or AdobeRGB.
If you are new to this then I would recommend choosing Option 2. You could of course use Option 1 - No Colour Management - to get the same appearance as Picassa but you may then have problems later with some other images.
Hope this helps.

  • PS FW; color not right

    Can anyone tell me the trick to converting a PS file into FW?  After I open a PS file in FW, the color is way off (compared to seeing it in PS) for some elements and not others.  Is there a trick to keeping it the same?  Same thing happens with Illustrator files.
    Second question....is there something I need to do to make sure the colors are CMYK to RGB?
    Thanks so much!

    Helpful reading:
    http://www.viget.com/inspire/save-for-web-simply (follow up of http://www.viget.com/inspire/the-mysterious-save-for-web-color-shift/) Much of the info is in the comments, such as links to these two pages:

    It's a lot of info, but it boils down to this: you want to work in sRGB so you can see the colors as they are and then convert to sRGB (not assign) so that the colors are output to the file that way.

  • Apple Studio 17" Display colors not right after thunderstorm

    Noticed this afternoon, after a thunderstorm, that my 17" Apple Studio Display was not displaying colors correctly. All windows are reversed - white background is now black and text is white. Also photos look like 35mm negatives. My blue Apple standard background is now orange. I checked the Display section in the System Preferences and did the ColorSync calibration and troubleshooting (verify and repair). None of this has any affect. Any suggestions?

    Try Control-Command-Option-8
    or select "Black on White" in the "Seeing" tab of "Universal Access" system preference.

  • Layer Background color not support on AP Element

    Hi I am new to dreamweaver. I just started learning how to
    use it, and I can't figure out why when I am validating the
    browser, I kept on getting a message that the layer background
    color is not supported in the AP element. I looked at my code and
    it seems fine. All I did was just insert the AP layer and I change
    the background color. Is there something I am doing wrong?

    Thank you. That's telling you that layer-background-color is
    NOT supported
    in those browsers (in fact, it's invalid HTML, being
    supported only in IE5
    and earlier). You should use CSS to specify colors, not the
    Property
    inspector, and you will avoid such traps. In fact, in CS3,
    when you use the
    Property inspector, the proper CSS is written in the
    stylesheet for you.

  • How do I Change sub category to a key word tag in Elements 6. When I right click the sub category is the possibility to change not selectable

    I want to change a sub category to a key word tag in Elements 6. When I right click the sub category is the possibility to change not selectable. How to do it?

    If you want to change the category you need to change the feed, which means changing it in WordPress. You need to pick one category and, if there is one, one sub-category from the official list here:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html#categories
    It is possible to have further categories, though I don't know whether WordPress will allow that, but you should put the most relevant one in first.
    Once you've amended it simply re-upload the feed and wait for the Store to catch up. You don't need to resubmit.

    Thanks i think I got it working of a fashion.

    So we have great tanned legs, then the 'porcelain white band' where her swimsuit was.
    Likewise we have a tanned face, and arms, shoulders etc and a great tan on the top of the cleavage, then it stops, white band to the top of the ultralow cut bra line of the basque.
    She must have lived in like the most conservative bikini on the planet [50's style], for 2 weeks!

  • Colors not printing correctly. Only blue and black work.

    I just got a new HP OfficeJet all in one inkjet 8620 printer. The colors aren't printing correctly. Everything comes out light blue with black lettering. I tried installing new cartridges (genuine HP) and also tried gently shaking the cartridges. But the problem persists.

    Hi @Iolanthe ,
    I see that you are experiencing issues with the colors not printing correctly. I would like to help you resolve this issue.
    I have provided a document with some steps to try to see if that will resolve the issue.
    Fixing Print Quality Problems for the HP Officejet Pro 8610, 8620, 8630, 8640, and 8660 e-All-in-One...
    Please let me know the results of the Print Quality Diagnostic Page?
    If the test pages are printing properly, it could be a software issue.
    What operating system are you using? Mac OS X: How Do I Find Which Mac OS X Version Is on My Computer?
    Check the driver name that is installed for the printer. Make sure it shows just the printer's name.
    Click the Apple menu and then click System Preferences. Click Printers & Scanners, highlight the printer name on the left side and on the right side of the screen it should show the printer's name. (Officejet 8620)
    If the full printer name isn't listed correctly, delete it and add the printer name back in from the list. Click the - sign to delete the driver and then click the + sign to add the driver, might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name to add it in.
    Let me know how the printer name was listed.
    From the application, make sure you are selecting the proper paper type.
    Try another application to see if you have the same issue.
    How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet/Wireless)
    If you need further assistance, just let me know.
    Have a great day!
    Thank You.

  • .MTS files in elements organizer: no thumbnails, not playing

    Some google searching shows that i´m not alone with this problem, but i haven´t found a solution.
    .MTS files plays in premiere elements (lagging terribly though) but not in elements organizer, where i get this error message:
    Updated quicktime as suggested, no improvement.
    Source of .MTS files is a Panasonic G5.
    Running W7 64 bit. same problems in both elements organizer 11 & 12.
    If it was a codec issue i assume it would not play in Premier elements either?
    Any suggestions?

    Hi A.T.
    1.  I'm using Premiere Elements 9.  I have an Asus laptop with windows 8.1
    2.  I believe i have the latest driver.  I have Intel HD Graphics.  I ran a check to look for updated drivers and it came back as saying I had the latest.
    Background
    I've only had the laptop since October so that's how long the program has been on the computer.
    I was able to use it a few days ago.  At that time I had been using video from the same camera but that time it I had saved it originally to the camera's internal memory.  When I had the problem last night it was with video I had saved to a memory card.  A message which I do not remember came up asking if I'd like to change the preset as my current settings didn't match the video format.  I said yes and then nothing worked after that.  I can't even view the project I did several days ago now either.
    How I search for the presets?  I've never changed these before.
    It is AVCHD file type and 1080 but I am unfamiliar with the how to know anything further.

    You put yourself at a disadvantage by tagging on to an older thread and not starting a new thread of your own. I just saw your post now.
    So let us get to the troubleshooting...
    1. What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
    2. This has all the symptoms of a display problem. Do you have the latest version of your video card/graphics card according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card? If so, we are going to need to delete the BadDrivers.txt file. But I need the information in "1" to tell you how to get there and do that.
    Some background information please....
    1. How long have you been working with this version on its current computer operating system?
    2. How would you class this issue "It worked before but not now" or "it never worked before"?
    3. What is your project preset?
    4. What are the properties of this .mts files...AVCHD video compression? 1080i or 1080p or other?
    More later in the morning.

  • Raw Conversion: Colors not accurate. Correction with profile?

    Hi,
    When I create JPGs from my Raw files, the results don't look natural. Some colors have more saturation, some less. For example, the colors of the KoMi A series look somehow dirty; the reds of the Maxxum 5D seem to be oversaturated (dark reds are to bright, brown faces look rather pinkish).
    This is in comparison to the orignal objects, to the JPGs generated from the KoMi Raw converter and to the in-camera JPGs.
    Since Lightroom has tremendous color tuning options (under HSL and Color), I wonder whether a camera-specific profile can make the colors more natural. Has anybody tried for the KoMi cameras? Can anybody share a profile?
    I don't have a color checker, so this would be a tough one for me. I tried a bit, but whenever one color seemed right, another color had become worse.
    Here is my equipment:
    Cameras: Konica Minolta A2, Minolta A1, Konica Minolta Maxxum 5D.
    Other: My room has fluorescent tubes of type 950 (5000K, highest quality, Philips Graphica Pro) or of course daylight from outside. My screen is calibrated using ColorPlus hardware. I used a grey card for most of my photos. JPGs viewed with IMatch (color-profile aware).
    Regards,
    Martin

    Hallo Uli,
    there are two aspects of the color deviation:
    1. Displaying colors in LR
    This is what you are addressing in the other thread. I can confirm this behavior, but let's not touch this matter here.
    2. Raw conversion
    This is what I am talking about in this post. The effect is actually larger than the display deviation.
    Regards,
    Martin

  • Color not changing on Selected Menu tab

    I'm creating a custom css and in doing so have been trying to change the text color of the selected menu tab. I've added it to my stylesheet but it is not changing upon running it. If I change the menu tab specifically via the properties of the tab, it will change. Is 'color' something we can change?
    Here is a snipet of my css:
    .af|menuTabs::selected {color:red;
    white-space:nowrap;
    font-family:Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,sans-serif;
    font-size:200%;
    background-color:white;
    font-weight:bold;
    text-decoration:none;
    Thanks,
    Lisa

A: Color not changing on Selected Menu tab

Your '.' before af|menuTabs is wrong.
It's just "af|menuTabs::selected" not ".af|menuTabs::selected".
Also, you need to use the ::selected-link pseudo-element to style the color of the text.
/* Make the selected tab bold */
af|menuTabs::selected-link
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 14pt;
color: green;
}
