Exported JPGs more saturated than appear in LR

I have LR5.3. I've only just noticed this. Not sure if it's been this way for a while or not. When I export from LR and make JPGs as sRGB they are more saturated. Also, when I view in the Web panel the images are more saturated. Is this normal?

U2410, there you go.
The answer to 1-3 is that they are not color managed. I've said this before, and repeat it here: An absolute requirement for using wide gamut displays is full color management. They should really come with a huge sticker across the screen to that effect, so that people didn't buy them without understanding the implications.
Save For Web can be made to behave. Check "Embed Color Profile", and "Convert to sRGB". Then set Preview to "Use Document Profile". None of these are default settings, as SFW assumes a completely non-color managed workflow. This is from a time when web browsers didn't have color management. It's outdated now, when most web browsers do (except Internet Explorer. Avoid that).
The thing is that your display has a native color space close to Adobe RGB. A non-color managed workflow assumes that the display is close to sRGB - as most traditional displays are. So an sRGB file will display roughly correctly on such a display even without color management. That's why sRGB is the "standard" color space for web and why you should always use that in any web context.
But to display correctly on a wide gamut monitor the RGB numbers have to be remapped into the monitor's native color space. That's not Adobe RGB, but something close. This is what the monitor profile will do, but only if the application is color managed and will actually use the monitor profile. Most apps will not and just send the numbers straight through.
So use sRGB for web, embed the profile and use a web browser with color management like Firefox or Safari.
EDIT - just for completeness: There's an added complication re browsers, because if the image does not have an embedded document profile (and much material on the web doesn't), it will normally not be color managed. What happens is that since there is no embedded profile, there is nothing to convert to the monitor profile from. So it's sent straight through unmanaged. Firefox, as the only browser, has an option to deal with this, which is to assign sRGB to untagged material. This allows the color management chain to kickstart back in action and the proper conversion to monitor profile to happen.
This is known as "mode 1", and to get there type about:config (copy/paste that) into the address bar and scroll down to gfx.color_management.mode. Change the value from 2 to 1.

Screen images more saturated than prints

Screen depiction of images more saturated than prints. I'd like to get the print images more in line with the screen images. Their brightness is pretty well matched. Same with contrast.
I'm using
MacBook Pro 2.16 intel core 2 duo
Aperture
proofing to Canon PR1 (paper I'm using)
Color Synch Profile Canon PR 1
Gamma 1.0
Pentax k10d
Canon Pixma ip6600d
Color Option None
Color Vivid yes
Color LCD Display setting in display system setting.

It sounds like you are doing everything correctly -- so the culprit may well be your printer, which depending on the number of inks etc may not have a full enough gamut to support what you see on screen. Maybe it's time to move to the Canon 9000?

Just upgraded to FCP7, colors look washed out, more saturated than in FCP6

We just upgraded the office to FCP7. Users are now complaining that colors look much more over exposed, washed out, different than they were displaying in FCP6.
Also, a bug shows when you play a clip, it looks lighter. Hit pause, and it displays darker.
What's going on? We're all on apple cinema displays calibrated to 2.2 television gamma.

I've FCP7 (Snow Leopard) and 6 (Leopard) running side by side and I don't get this problem.
I'm assuming you did a fresh install of both OSX and FCP7 when you moved from one to the other ? I find this is really the only way to guarantee stability.
Sorry if I'm stating the obvious (you don't give many details) but you might also try trashing the prefs and doing any available updates.

Photos automatically more saturated?

I recently imported about 1500 photos to lightroom, and when I click on a photo, it comes up more saturated than the image I took. And it's automatic to all images. Any idea why this is? Any help is appreicated. Thanks.

This may be the most frequently asked question of newcomers to Lightroom.
I'm sure somebody will come along shortly with link(s) to more info about it.
I mean, to answer your specific question, exactly: "No, there is no way to keep the Lightroom rendition from replacing the in-camera preview".
But, you *can* customize Lightroom defaults to more closely match your druthers, e.g. choose camera matching profile. Lightroom rendition will still be different, due to in-camera settings and compensations that Lightroom will not be doing. You can expect to need to do some tweaks to all (or the vast majority of) your imported images before they will be suitable, even if you had them perfected in camera.
If you *really* want to match Lightroom's rendition to your camera, there is a way, but most people find they'd prefer to learn how to make their images even better in Lightroom than what their camera can do. Otherwise, what's the point of using Lightroom?

Lightroom 3 exporting issue: exported JPGs come out with much more noise than original edited files

Hi all,
My first post here so nice to meet everyone. I've been having some issues with exporting in Lightroom recently. It appeared to happen quite out of the blue. Sometimes when I export my edited .cr2 files as jpgs (in srgb), at a good quality (no less than 85), some of resulting jpgs seem to have exposure higher and/or a horribly large increase in the amount of visable noise. It seems many of the photos which this occurs in have pretty high settings for fill light, but even still, the noise is not visable in lightroom while editing the metadata linked .cr2.
I thought it might be the problem that I'm viewing the final exported jpgs in preview, but I also tried adding them back into the catalog and they look just as off. I just upgraded to 3.3, but it seems to be having the same issue. If anyone can please help, it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

No sharpening at all during my export, Ian. Sometimes I sharpen for screen at a standard strength, but I turned it off when I started seeing the extra artifacts but the results of the exports remains basically the same with or without sharpening.
However when I import it seems my photos already have some sharpening on them in the develop module. The settings there are sharpening = 25, radius = 1, Detail = 25, masking = 0. I honestly rarely mess with the sharpening, so I guess I skipped over those settings during the countless hours I have worked with LR! But I assume those are normal post import numbers, correct? I never apply development settings during import, that's why I say that. Thanks for keeping up the conversation and brainstorming Ian! Anyone else also free to chime in.

Why do exported JPGs appear darker than the processed RAW in the LR3 Development module?

I have scoured the forums with this question, and I have seen plenty of suggestions about color space and monitor calibration. However, I never seem to find that the issue gets resolved in the forums.
I am using Lightroom 3, and I am exporting to JPG using sRGB. I have noticed that the JPGs appear darker and the prints are also darker. I am using the same monitor to process in LR and to view the exported JPG. Why don't the images look the same, or at least similar? The difference is pretty huge.

… What do you mean by export in an mp4 wrapper? Do you mean export it as an mp4 format instead of H264?? …
no, exactly I did NOT meant that.
that's why I phrased 'wrapper':
a bit confusing, but there's mpeg4, the codec, and there's mp4 the wrapper or media-container:
• use your .mov you have already exported, which has the right colors.
• download/install the free tool Mpeg Streamclip
• open your mov, go straight to 'save as' and choose from drop down mp4
• save and upload that mp4 for comparison to Vimeo
• (tell us, wether you notice any difference, as said, just an assumption)
What will that do?
your h264 encoded material is actually in a .mov-wrapper
Streamclip unwraps that, and puts it into a .mp4-wrapper
this does NOT encode/transcode/affect your h264 material!
it just changes the box, not the chocolate!
What's NOT working is changing the suffix in a Finder operation - that does NOT affect the 'atoms' of the wrapper = a re-named mp4 will be 'noticed' by many programs/players as a mov anyhow! You HAVE to go the 'long' way with Streamclip - due to the simple re-packing operation, that process needs only seconds
I'm using this process to 'convert' my FCPX/iMovie .mov-exports to a readable format for my son's Playstation3 ... mov is a nogo, re-named suffix is a nogo. only re-wrapping to .mp4 works. excellent.
... but, as mentioned, I do care very little about gamma and luma as an hobbyist, my 'products' are under-exposured and veeery colorful anyhow

Why does my exported swf show more content than actually on frame?

Why does my exported .swf show more content than actually on frame?
My problem is relatively simple, though, I had some trouble finding a solution to it:
When I play my exported animation using flash player in Google Chrome, if the window is bigger than the resolution flash document/frame, it shows content not meant to show up on the frame -- like parts of a huge background that aren't supposed to show up yet.
In other words, how do I constraint the .swf to the white background/document resolution?

Anyone? I'd appreciate it if someone replied soon -- I am done with my project once this issue is resolved, and I am excited to publish it.
Please respond if you have any useful knowledge on the matter!
Thanks!

Export to mora than one excel sheet.

Hello Marvel team,
I am looking to do something related to the export of data to an excel file and I am asking if one of you has do something like the following :
I need, on a click on a button export some data to more than one sheet in the same excel file.
I looked to what askTom propose, with the sylk format:

and this can resolve my problem in part, with sylk I can have what I want but only in one sheet and for me it's very important that I can export to more than one sheet in the same excel file.
Thanks for any help!

Using POI, you can create a native Excel Workbook with more than one Worksheet.
For a first step using POI follow the steps posted under:
"Export to Microsoft Excel from PLSQL Procedure"
Re: Export to Microsoft Excel from PLSQL Procedure
The following examples creates an excel with more than one sheet (and does a little bit of formating).
Load this as described above to your 10g Database and build a pl/sql wrapper function around it:

Can I export (burn) more than one slide show to the same DVD

Can I export (burn) more than one slide show I created in iPhoto to the same DVD, and if yes, how?

Yes. If you're using iDVD export the slideshow out of iPhoto at 480p size and drag it into an open iDVD menu window, being careful to avoid any drop zones. iDVD can handle up to 120 minutes of playing time (movies plus menus) on a single layer DVD disk.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

Color Issues with exported JPGs

Hello,
This is my 1st post on the forums and hopefully someone can help. I am using a Dell 2407 24 inch LCD for photo processing. I have calibrated my monitor with Heey Pro 1.5. The custom profle loads at windows startup (I see the colors snap to the correct settings). I use Lightroom 2.6 and am running a Vista 64 bit PC. Everything is running great. However I have noticed that my files coming out of Lightroom look much more saturated color wise.
I'm a Photographer and shoot all photos in Canon RAW. Both cameras are set to sRGB. I then import the files into LR. When I'm done processing them, I export the files to JPG, 100 quality, sRGB. When I view them in windows, or through an image viewer or the web, the colors look much more saturated. My friend is running almost the exact same setup and his files look identical in LR, windows and in a web browser. What could be happening here? So as a result I think the files look good in LR but then when they are exported, the look way too saturated. What could be causing this???
Here's an example oo what I'm seeing: http://lifesharephoto.smugmug.com/photos/871756198_22ecN-L.png
Can someone please help me figure this out? Thank you!

It's your monitor. It is a wide gamut one (it probably has HC in the full name?), which means it has a response closer to adobeRGB than to the standard sRGB. When you use non color managed apps (such as internet explorer) on such a monitor and use sRGB, the image will appear oversaturated. You need to only judge color in color managed apps on such a monitor. Some browsers are color managed such as Firefox and Safari. Unfortunately Firefox does not know how to deal with profiles generated from the Huey Pro, so it will not color manage when you use that calibrator. Safari will always color manage. Other apps that color manage are Photoshop, Windows picture viewer (for Vista and later), Irfanview (latest versions), etc. On the Mac almost every program color manages.

Why do my images look good in PSE8, darker & more saturated in browsers, etc.?

I've been creating some images using PSE8. The images look good, bright in PSE8. But the files, when saved as jpgs or as tifs appear darker and have more intense color when viewed through web browsers and Windows Picture & FAX Viewer. (the total effect is, the images look different, worse.) The same images on the same computer viewed on the same monitor look different in PSE8 and when viewed through other programs. This is not a printing problem, per se. The files print as they appear on the browsers etc. when I print them through PSE8. This is a problem that happens consistently with many different images.
It seems as if PSE8 is interpreting the files uniformly differently than these other programs. HELP!!!

I don't know what the eRGB profile is -- where did you find it? Usually there is a profile with the name "sRGB IEC61966-2.1" or something very similar. If your Windows is insisting on a default profile for your display, that's the one to set it to.
Your issue almost certainly is caused by a defective color profile. PSE 8 is a "color managed" program, which means that it uses the color profile associated with your display to reproduce colors more accurately on the screen. If the color profile is defective, and you adjust a photo in the Editor to look right, then the adjusted photo won't reproduce accurately when you view it through a non-color-managed program (Windows viewer, browsers) or on another system with a proper color profile.
So to fix this issue, you need to either remove the profile entirely (not sure why Windows XP won't let you do that) or associate "sRGB" to the display.

IMAQ Overlay - Probe more consistent than image

Hi, I am having a certain problem that might be more aesthetic than problematic.
Imaqdx Grab runs in a loop, aquiring frames in real time which then are processed within this loop, and finally some calculated points are overlayed onto the image. The last thing I do in this loop is send the image with overlay to a front panel image control, so that the user can see the results overlayed on the image in real time.
However, the image is very "flickery", so mainly the image appears without results overlayed and they show up only from time to time,. The results are correctly calculated for each frame though. If I use a probe to look at the purple image wire just before it goes to the indicator in the block diagram, the probe constantly shows the overlayed lines without any flickering.
I hope I made myself semi-clear, if not see picture attached. Does anybody have a clue why this could be?
Thanks in advance
Solved!

Where do you have clear overlay to remove previous measurements? It is better to place it before new overlay to give labview more time to show it.
May be I am wrong, but indicator can be only a command to show image and drawing happens in separate thread later.
And probe creates copy of image data when it is called and does not progress untill it finishes copying. With image I prefer to do it manually: have a separate image display buffer (Create image.vi) and copy there after all processing and overlay is done (copy image.vi).

My iphone is currently using battery life much more quickly than inthe past, and it also has an icon tht is starying on the screen, to the left of the battery charge percentage, that looks like a lock with a circle around it

i have an iphone that is using battery life much more quickly than in the past, a full charge is going to zero in a half a day or so, with out much use.
an icon is also appearing next to the charge percentage in the top right, and the icon is a circle around a lock
can anyone tell me what the problem is, and what the icon means?

The Icon meas your display orientation is locked to vertical so it wont change when you turn the phone sideways.
First thing you should check with the battery life is multitasking, which also happens to be where the orientation lock can be turned off. check out http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4211 and go from there
