Export nef to jpeg / yellow tint

Hello
I recently exported 900 raw files (nef format) to lightroom. When I compare for the same source the nef file with the corresponding jpeg file, it appears all the jpeg get a yellow tint. This appears for color and for BW images. At the end, my BW jpeg images look sepia!!
I didn't notice this before.
Anyone know how to fix this?
I use lightroom 5.6
Many thanks
Arnaud

You should look at the files, not at their sizes. You cannot judge quality from filesize. There is no reason you couldn't get an outstanding 12x18 from a 2 MB jpeg file. Often the only thing bigger files do is take up more space.
>Is it compressing it more than Nikon Editor, or am I missing something?
You might be scaling by accident, but usually the image is just not very complex. The filesize you get in jpeg is related to complexity of the image. If you have large areas of solid color, the filesize will turn out small. If you have lots of noise and lots of complex shapes (like a grass field for example) you will get large files.

When exporting NEF files to JPEGs, LR says the files 'cannot be found'. What do I do? I have not moved or altered the originals.

I'm attempting to create a slideshow for our 8th Grade Open House tonight and the files, which I shot in raw format, are not exporting properly into JPEGs via the Export button in Library. Every time I try, Lightroom says the files cannot be found. I've heard that many people have had issues with this because they have moved or altered the original files? As far as I know, I have not renamed and changed anything. Does it help to know that I first imported these raw photos from my camera reader onto an external hard drive? ...and yes, my external hard drive is plugged into my computer...

And if you go to Develop, and make your filmstrip thumbnails a little taller to make sure all the badges are shown, does a missing indicator show up, there? Can you Export from Develop?
If you click on the Photos that Failed to Export collection at the top right does the photo it highlight have a missing indicator?
If you do a test export with just one photo, to your internal drive, does it work?
I adjusted the height of the thumbnails. Still no exclamation points or question marks as noted here.
Also, as to your second question, unfortunately no as noted here.
And as to your last question, I have tried several times to export them to my desktop (which would be on my internal drive, not external). I've even gone so far as to put a copy folder of my original NEF files onto my desktop (7 gb worth) to see if that would help me export...it didn't.

Yellow tint; How to export

Hi I have two very important questions,
1. When I open a picture with white background in Photoshop, Picasa, Windwos Viewer, or online, the background is white. When I open it in lightroom, it's got a yellow tint, like a ight sepia effect, and some bloom or other effects seem to be applied to the image. While this is certainly a nice effect, I would like to know how to turn this on/off.
2. When I right click a picture and click export, no post-processing (everything I did under "Develop") is saved along with the image, I only get the original picture. I know that LR works with virtual copys/Catalogs and only saves metadata thus not actually editing my original. But still how do I apply the changes I made in LR? I even tried exporting a catalog and a web slideshow, but always only the original picture gets exported. I shoot in RAW (CR2) format.
Please help me!

Thank you Jao vDL, that was indeed the problem!

No monitor profile available. Yellow tint after import

Hello. I have bough last week a new Toshiba notebook which has Windows 8.1 preinstalled on it.
I have noticed a problem that seems other came also on the same issue. When i watch images on a non profile managed software, the images look fine. Once i import them on Lightroom or Photoshop, the images get a yellow tint.
The problem and a possible solution is also described here: http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=1164320 . This is setting the sRGB as a monitor profile. I know this is not a great solution, but surely better than what i see on my monitor. In any way, this unfortunately this did not work for me.
This is what i mean with the yellow tint (left Lightroom, right Irfan)
Today i tried following:
Step 1
The image is in RAW format. I import it in Lightroom and gets that yellow tint i described.
I export it with sRGB in jpg format. The jpg file has still that yellow tint. Please note here, that others that report similar problems, they mention that after the export they image looks again fine.
Step 2
I open the RAW image with Irfan (not color managed) and save it as jpg. The image is saved "correctly", as you see on the right side of the image above.
Step 3
I import the exported jpeg that was created with Irfan and import it to Lightroom.
The yellow Tint now does not appear on the imported JPEG.
One more tip i can give is: When i do a Soft proofing on Lightroom and choose sRGB i still see that yellow tint.
What exactly is happening ? I try to identify the problem. Why i see just raw images with this yellow tint, no matter the profile i set for my monitor and no matter the proofing options on lightroom.
I don't want to spend 100+ euro for a calibration device and not being able to use the profiles.
Any suggestions for further testing ?

First - Irfanview needs to be at least IV 4.35 and needs to have the LCMS.DLL plug-in installed as well as having the Color Management enabled so that you have some chance of your Photoshop and IrfanView versions of an image matching:
Alright we have the first conflict here.
I have the latest IrfanView version (4.37) , i saw that the Lcms.dll exists in the plugin list, and i have set the settings as suggested.
Furthermore at the moment i have sRGB as my default monitor profile. Still this is how i see things.
IrfanView and Photoshop have the same difference as before. Yes i have rerasted IrfanView on every change. I actually freshly installed also the latest irfanView version with its plugin.

About this
As you can see the Adobe default processing with the Adobe Standard profile, at top left, is a little greenish. This is compared to the default camera processing as viewed in the camera-embedded preview jpg from the CR2 at the bottom right which a white frame around it.
When i open the raw image on LR, i have (from what i can see on my monitor) the same results as your Adobe default processing (Top left) . What confused me on your image above is bottom left image "Adobe processing - Camera standard". What is with Adobe processing meant here? The camera profile? If yes then how can we have Adobe camera profil but also camera standart ? If you mean the process LR provides, mine is set on 2012. But no adobe available for selection. I do not know if this is meant though.
Here is my comparison between Adobe Standart Profile and Camera Standard.
LR: Adobe Profile vs Canon Standart Profile
One more comparison is of the files you made available including the IranView jpg you supplied as compared to the Canon JPG preview that I extracted from the CR2 file:
What you can see is that the CR2 as viewed in LR and LR's exported JPG of that CR2 look about the same (top and bottom left), and the IrfanView and Canon-JPG versions of the CR2 look the same (top and bottom right). This is your IV version of the JPG, not something I made, but I expect IV has just extracted the camera-embedded fullsize preview JPG from the CR2 file just like I did using a different tool, so they look the same, but it is possible your IV is using a Canon-specific plug-in that uses the Canon-supplied SDK library DLLs that can also duplicate Canon processing. I only have the Formats.dll and the CRW.dll but not all the extra SDK DLLs so I expect my IV is only extracting the camera-embedded preview JPG.
Yes i can confirm that also on my environment. The exported CR2 from LR matches the exported JPG as also there is a match between IrfanView CR2 with the Camera standard profile export. Unfortunately i cannot confirm if IrfanView uses a sort of Canon-plugin to make the RAWS rendered automatically with the Canon standard profile.
And if you want your Adobe treatment of CR2 files to look much more similar to your camera's treatment, then use the Camera Standard profile in Lightroom and the PS ACR plug-in.
Question on this. Should i always put a Camera Standart profile on all my images after importing them on LR ?
Also please, let me know what you meant with Adobe Processing. I searched on the web with "Adobe Processing lightroom" , but i could not understand what is meant.
If using the Camera Standard profile doesn't make things look almost the same, then please post a side-by-side of LR's view of the CR2 and IrfanView's JPG extracted from the CR2--what you've linked to, just above.
Here is a comparison between an exported JPG from Lightrom with camera profile (Right) compared to an exported JPG with IrfanView from the RAW (left). As mentioned before the images look identical, with the one exported from LR with Camera profile being a bit more vibrant. But not much of a difference.
IrfanView vs Camera Profile export
So in the end it seems you see also that green-yellowish cast on the RAW image. From what i see on the screenshots you made.
The question now is why i do not see RAW the same as Adobe software ? Could i do this test with an other viewer?
To summerize from my side as well. A monitor calibration is surely good to do. On the other side the cast i see on the RAW in this case has not to do with the profile but rather with Adone profile and the way this image was captured.
PS. I must admit that is one of the best on line support i have ever seen. Thumbs up ssprengel !

Exporting raw to jpegs

I have a few hundred images that I shot in Camera Raw, that I've modified and corrected in Bridge (CS3) & Photoshop (CS3). I now have a need to export them to JPG, and each way that I've tried has resulted in images that look nothing like what I see in Bridge.
1) I first tried exporting them with a batch file that I created (saves as jpg @ quality 12). This results in my images having a very yellow tint, compared to with the originals in Bridge.
2) Used the Image Processor under (Tools -> Photoshop). This resulted in very washed out images by comparisom.
Any help/suggestions would be great!
Thanks

Exporting RAW to JPEG and TIFF

Evaluating LE to hopefully improve some workflow. I noticed however, that when export to a JPEG or TIFF format the file size seems much smaller that I'm accustomed. A D100 9.5MB RAW file converts to appx 2.7Mb JPEG at 100% and appx 7MB in TIFF. Currently when I convert I get a 17-20MB JPEG. I'm I missing something in the setup or is this the larger file size LE produces.
Murray Edwards

Excuse me Lightroom. I currently use Portfolio 8 to review and tagged a large number of images for production. They have a conversion process that allows you to convert a NEF file to JPEG or TIFF. When converting to from a NEF file that is appx 9.5MB in size to a JPEG at 100% @300DPI which is what my clients require, it produces a a JPEG file that ranges from 17-23MB depending the amount of information. But I still have to pull that image into editing SW to do some cleanup or slight exposure adjustments. It was my hopes that by using Lightroom, I could slimline a couple of these processes. But if LR only provides a exported JPEG file size of what I've seen thus far, then I would unable to accomplish this.
Is this better clarification of my question?

Nokia 1020 Flash gives Yellow Tint - White Balance...

I have the new Nokia Lumia 1020. Unfortunately, every time I take a photo with the flash, it gives a yellow tint; the white balance is WAY off. I called support and Nokia Support said to swap the phone, which I did at AT&T. The 2nd phone has the same issue. I searched online, and several others are having the same problem.
When will a solution for this come out, assuming one will?
Thanks.

yep suffering from this too and there are quite a few threads popping up on the net about the issue too

these are just the top hits on google and this is without the threads on your wn discussion board on this very website :-/
now i love my 1020 just like i loved my nokia 808 but there is defo something wrong with the settings and jpeg processing on the 1020
on one of the forums i use a users examined the exif data of a yellow tinted image and the shutter speed was really slow and the iso really high , i think this is where the problem lies , on an xenon flash shot why is the phone choosing a very high iso and very slow shutter speed surely this will lead to polloution of the picture from other light sources hence the orange/yellow glow/tint to many pictures taken under ''fake'' lighting
In auto mode even with flash on, shutter speed is always 1/30 and ISO is pretty high (1000 or above). I don't know why these settings are this way with flash in Auto, but that seems to be the reason for the yellow tint.
a user has come up with a fix which is
Try this: force flash on and then either set ISO to 400 or a fixed shutter speed of 1/100 or even faster. I noticed that the flash fires shorter and brighter that way. Surprise: yellow tint is gone.
so as you can see the camera is simply selecting the wrong settings for the scene , why an earth is the camera selecting such a high iso and slow shutter speed for an xenon lit shot , surely thats ridiculous , it seems it to me
nokia please can you look into this asap
according to your response in this thread you have been aware of this for a while now and i know software can be very complex but this is something that needs to be fixed and is causing a lot of people hassle with the ''best camera phone'' the world has seen
i am sure it can be fixed easily via software and i look forwards to an update or resapinse from nokia about the issue

What's Wrong? My iPad Lost it's Yellow Tint!

My new iPad never really had a yellow tint. The display, though, was obviously warmer in tone than my iPad 2, and the warmth was across the entire display, not just part of it.
Space around text was, in particular, whiter on the iPad 2, and the text seemed to be darker - more contrasty. I had to call my wife over to take a look and she confirmed what I was seeing, when the two iPads were side-by-side.
As others have noted, if the two iPads were not compared side-by-side, the new one looked fine. Put them together, and the difference was very apparent.
However, having read from several posters that it's an issue with glue, I decided not to panic. Last night, I spent a few hours with the new iPad on the Web, reading people's comments, and then browsing the topic of color - how we see, Edwin Land's ideas about color perception being based on context, etc. It made for interesting, if not hard-going reading.
Just before I went to bed, I did a last comparison check. I discoverd, to my amazement, that my new iPad's display had lost most of its warm tint over the past few hours. As far as I can tell, it's now totally gone. When I compare it to my iPad 2, the new iPad still looks warmer, but only in comparison.
Now the iPad 2 has a bluish cast to my eyes, especially when I'm looking at a page with black text and white space - the white is blue. With photos, the difference is down to a slight saturation gain with the new iPad. And the retina display increases sharpness just enough to make some photographs, along with their increased saturation, appear to be 3D.
I have a feeling this problem of tint/color will resolve itself for most people, one way or the other. For those who can relax for a few days, they might find, as I did, that the yellow will disappear. Or they might trade in their iPads, but there's no guarantee, if they get an iPad fresh off the boat, that it won't have the same problem, at least for a few days.

That's good to hear that the "Yellow tint" has sorted it self out.
Maybe the "Heat" issues that that people have with the batteries will sort it self out after a few discharge - recharge cycles.

Yellow Tinted Screen?

I just got my Mini, hooked up a ViewSonic VA720 LCD to it, and the screen has a yellow tint to it. I can't get rid of it after calibrating the display. When I connect the display to my other non-Mac computers, it displays in normal color, without the tint. Any ideas? I am using the DVI to VGA connector that came with the Mini. Thanks for any help.

Thanks Tim! When I go to the Apple Store, I'm assuming I should bring the CPU and the adapter...I've tried a few times, plugging things in in different order, and nothing seems to be working. There is also some horizontal 'streakiness', especially after things on the screen that contrast sharply, going from left to right. Hopefully an Apple Genius can get 'er working right soon.

Why haven't we heard anything from apple in regard to the yellow tint screens till now?

It is really sad & frustrating from Apple to get manufacturers who do not produce quality work like the others. It really more sad when I pay more than 800$ with a one year contract & do not recieve the correct handset.
After lots of arguing & fighting with customer care in UAE, all I was able to get is a third replacement however same issue & they tell you most of our phones are like this for the black.
What a shame Appple, am quite sad & learned my lesson, I will not rush to buy any of your products anymore, let it take its time then If you have no issues I might think about buying.
Now what troubles me the most is that I could not find any announcment from Apple on this though there are so many users with such issue. What a shame!!!!!!!
People out there, any news about this. What can we do.

wissam, just letting u know that my 3 days old black iphone 4s has a yellow tint and the serial number starts with DNQ, I am very upset with this issue and will never get any apple product till all the problems are fixed

How to set "embed icc Profile" option to export document as JPEG

Hi All,
While exporting the document as jpeg, through File->Export, there is an option "Embed ICC Profile" as figure shows.
How to set it if I am exporting the document through my program in which I rasterize the document and used
the sAIImage->AsJPEG(raster, jpegDataFilter, params);
I didn't find any option in AIRasterizeSettings or AIImageOptJPEGParams to set this flag.
plz anyone suggest me how to do so.
Thanks,
Rud.

thanks for you through out help.
I use the folowing code which executing properly,but there is no effect on JPEG whether the value of jpegparam.s.jpeg.embedICCProfile is 0 or 1.
/////Start
ASOptimizationSettings jpegparam;
jpegparam.fileFormat = asffJPEG;
jpegparam.s.jpeg.embedICCProfile = isICCProfileEmbeded;
ASInt32 optID;
optID = sAIOptSet->GetUniqueOptimizationSettingsID();
error = sAIOptSet->SetOptimizationSettings(optID, &jpegparam); // after executing this line error = 0
/////End
I guess it would work when we export document as jpeg through AIActionManagerSuite
not with rasterizing the layer's art and then exporting them as JPEG using AsJPEG().
thanks

Why am I not able to export NEF files to Photoshop from Lightroom to edit. This is new. When I right click on an image, the export to PS option is not selectable.

Why am I not able to export NEF files to Photoshop from Lightroom to edit. This is new. When I right click on an image, the export to PS option is not selectable. I've never had this happen before. I haven't used it for a few weeks, so maybe there's an update (Mac or otherwise) that's screwing things up? HELP!

I have an Edit In - Photoshop option, but not an Export - Photoshop option.
Obviously to have right-click Edit In to work, the photo you're right-clicking on needs to be selected. I assume this is not the problem, and that the photo is selected.
Mavericks 10.9.3 has a problem where the Users folder is hidden, and you need to update iTunes to fix it, but it's been a few weeks since this happened so hopefully you're up-to-date and the Users folder isn't hidden anymore.
If you can't get things to work, I'd uninstall LR and uninstall Photoshop, then install Photoshop, and update it, then install LR and update it, as a way to get any wayward security or other OS-level things reset.

Yellow tinted display

Is anyone else still experiencing a yellow tinted display screen after "restoring" to 5A347?
I'm wondering if this problem is isolated to my phone, and it could be exchanged for a new one.

I just exchanged my 3g Black 16 gig iPhone due to a yellowish screen. My new replacement came with the (5A437) version. It is still a bit yellow but now the contrast is off making the text blurry and gray. I have another 3g white 16 gig with the (5A435) version which has no problems. The color is very rich and has deep blacks. I hope the is a way to correct this in the future. Upgrading the version does nothing. This is my 4th replacement phone and I am sick of making trips out to the Apple Store every week.

Yellow tint screen on my iphone5

would it be possible to claim a new set because my screen is yellow tinted

A yellow tint on a new device's screen is not unexpected; this would be due to the adhesive used within the device. This tint should fade within 1 - 2 weeks.
