FujiFilm X-E1 RAW displaying different colours

Hi,
First of all, I'm very happy the new version of Lightroom handles FujiFilm X-E1 RAW (RAF) files fast and efficiently.
But I have a feeling the colours aren't quite right. The X-E1, and its brothers, are known for their incredible colour reproduction and wide dynamic range in a compact format. When shooting native JPEG's with, or without shadow compensation settings in the camera, the resulting JPEG files has a clear FujiFilm identity. The colours and luma and are very even all the way from the shadows to the highlights. But when loading a RAW (RAF) file into Lightroom (v4.4) the colours, still untouched, aren't at all the same, and not the luma either. Shadows are harsher, the skin tones and most colours actually are a tiny bit off. Overall I would urge you to study this in detail and give us an optional Camera Calibration profile or something, that will give FujiFilm justice here.
Does this make any sense to you, or am I just being picky here?

Without seeing what you’re seeing, it’s hard to say if you’re being picky or if the variances you see are within what is expected between two different raw converters.
Adobe doesn’t attempt to replicate any particular camera’s treatment of the raw data as seen in the camera JPGs with the default toning or the Adobe Standard profile.
You will likely see very different toning between Adobe’s factory default settings and what your camera does, especially if it is trying to optimize things.  You’re in charge of the toning with LR so you’ll likely want to do something to each photo you care about.  You can click Auto tone and get a guess that is usually better than the default, but sometimes it guesses really wrong, just like camera metering might underexpose a shot if the sun is in it and LR doesn’t have the benefit of knowing what focus point was active to guess at what the subject was to make sure its exposed reasonably.
Likewise, for colors, Adobe doesn’t know what the camera has for a camera-profile when it interprets the raw data, so Adobe provides a standard color profile, based on their own methodology. 
For many Canon and Nikon DSLR cameras, Adobe has also provided Camera-match color profiles that make some attempt to emulate the camera-manufacturer settings, but these are only approximate.  I rarely would use anything but Camera Standard if that.
You can always get an X-Rite color-checker and use Adobe’s DNG Profile Editor to create your own camera profiles(s) for specific lighting situations or even a dual-Illuminant general-purpose profile like all of Adobe’s profiles are.  Creating such a profile isn’t going to emulate what the camera does, either, but if you feel that the colors are off using the one Adobe Standard profile, your custom profiles can better match certain lighting situations.
I carry an X-Rite Color Checker Passport and take a calibration shot whenever I'm in a non-standard lighting situation, espeically fluorescent or arena lighting, just in case the profiles I already have aren't quite right, and I need to create a new one.

  • Display different colours on JTbable

    I am working on an application that need to automatically produces a table with different colours in cells. Does anyone know how to display colour on each cell of a JTable? e.g. how to display RED to cell at position [2, 4]? e.g. how to display BULE to cell at position [45, 60]?
    Thanks.
    swat_z

    The short answer (to match the question) is that you use a TableCellRenderer. The JTable tutorial has examples of those.
    Haven't seen the tutorial yet? You'll find a link to it near the top of JTable's API documentation.

  • Monitor displaying different colour then what is being printed

    When I print my newly designed letterhead what I see on the screen is different from what is printed. I do not believe it is the printer as all other documents print the same colour as what's seen on the screen. Please help....

    what gets printed still doesn't match the monitor (it's darker, overall).
    Photoshop-Epson Print Workflow has a bug when you select 16 bit in the print dialogs (don't check those options in the printing routine)
    SECRET: How-to-make-the-print-match-the-monitor goal
    Matching your print to what you see on your monitor begins with a good monitor profile (to PROOF the color accurately on the monitor), and it succeeds with a good target print profile (and proper print work flow) to PROOF the color accurately on the print.
    The file (the document's Source Color Space) is independent of Photoshop:
    The Color Management System CMS, Photoshop, ONLY uses the monitor profile for one thing: To PROOF a source file on the monitor (the monitor profile has zero to do with how the file prints).
    The Color Management System CMS, Photoshop, ONLY uses the printer (target) profile Print Space for one thing: To PROOF a source file on the paper (the printer profile Print Space has zero to do with how the file looks on the monitor).
    While my simple PROOFING ANALOGY doesn't address the pitfalls of relying on a bad monitor to evaluate and adjust digital color, it does make two important facts about Photoshop and professional color-managed printing workflows:
    The printer can PROOF (print) the source file faithfully regardless of how right or wrong the monitor is set up, and
    The monitor can PROOF (display) the source file faithfully regardless of how right or wrong the printer is set up.
    Remember, this is true simply because the Source Profile is independent of the Monitor Profile and the Print Profile.
    Getting a known good file (like the Adobe RGB or preferably the Whacked RGB PDI Photodisc-GettyImages RGB reference image) into Photoshop allows me to evaluate the monitor alongside the print to help me see where the problem is occurring...

  • How do i get the different colours to display in my calendar

    Hi i use Microsoft Outlook on my computer running windows vista.
    I input my appointments in outlook and categorize them with different colours to show different appointments and they show up in outlook with the selected colours.
    But when i sync with my iphone they are all just a dull blue. when i first got my iphone it did display the relevent colours but something has changed as it does not work now.
    Even the Apple TV advert displays different colours in the calendar, so what am i doing wrong.

    Colors are assigned only when you are syncing _more than one calendar_. So, you need more than one Outlook calendar on your PC to have colors on your iPhone calendar. The "labels" within an Outlook calendar (Busy, Out of Office, etc.) do not transfer.

  • Is there a way to make an anchor link display a different colour when selected? (active state)

    I have a vertically scrolling site I am trying to set up, and it's all going well. Only problem is when you use the menu (widget or non-widget) to move to an anchor link, thus bringing in the next section, I can't get the link to diplay as a different colour.
    This would be good for letting the user know what section is infront of them.
    Is there a way to do this?
    One other question: Is there a way to get an anchor link to display centrally in the middle of the page up and down. I can arrange it so it looks good in one browser window, but as soon as the user has more vertical space it seems to diplay a set distance from the top. I guess what I'm asking is can the anchor link define the center point instead of the top point?
    Many thanks!

    Hello,
    Could you please elaborate what exactly you are referring to with "I can't get the link to diplay as a different colour"?
    Regarding your second query, I am afraid it is not possible using Adobe Muse. However it can be a very nice feature request.
    I would suggest you to post this as a feature request on our "Ideas for features in Adobe Muse" section of the forums : http://forums.adobe.com/community/muse/ideas

  • How to create a front panel display that lights up with different colours depending on its input signal?

    I am doing a project where I have this array which has different voltage outputs for each grid. How do I create a front panel object that lights up with different colours depending on the voltage input or is there already such a pre-built function?
    In addition, I wish to display these in an array on screen. Is there any pre-built function for this?

    The simplest way would be an intensity graph. It gives you a 2D grid where each grid point is colored according to the value of a 2D array. The Z axis color ramp determines the color.
    My second choice would be an array of colorboxes. (They could even be made to look like LEDs (see image, if course you can leave them square too), All you need is a scaling function thap maps voltages into a color ramp lookup table with an 8bit index)
    (Using booleans and color property nodes is relatively clumsy. Booleans are meant for two states because the value is boolean. Since array elements can only differ in value, and not in properties, it will not even work. Color boxes have a color data type which is much more appropriate for this case)

  • Multiple plots (different colours) on a single histogram?

    I have a 2D array of data, and I would like to plot a histogram.
    each row(with 8 elements) would be plotted in pairs, in 2 different colours.
    My chart would  have to look something like the attached image.
    My vi is also attached. Right now it displays the plot (one row for now),but I have a few problems:
    1) How to change the colour of each bar (to be like the excel graph)
    2) how to change the bar plot label ( so instead numeric values 1,2,3,...I would like to have a,b,c,... under each bar)
    3)and how to remove the (0,0) point on  the graph, so you could see the first bar entirelyy, instead of partially.
    I tried bundling the data , dynamic data, and a a bunch of other things  but couldnt get it to work.
    Thanks!!

    You can create a histogram of each row by connecting the output of the General Histogram or Histogram VI's (in the Statistics Palette) to a Build Array. Connect the output of Build Array to a Histogram Graph. You can create a Histogram Graph by right clicking on the General Histogram or Histogram VI's Histogram Graph output terminal( Create>>Indicator). That should show you both histograms with different colors in one graph(they may be overlapping though, use the Bar Plots options to see what view is best). Unfortunately, I don't see how you could display it like the graph you posted, but you may create a button that controls a Histogram Graph by using Property Nodes. Right click on the Histogram Graph indicator in the Block Diagram(Create>>Property Node>>Plot>>Visible). If you connect a Boolean control to this property node and place that piece of code inside a while loop, you could turn your plots on and off. You can also create an Invoke Node(Right Click>>Create>>Invoke Node>>Export data to Excel) to Export data to Excel. Make sure you expand the Plot Legend on the upper right corner so you can see the second plot options.

  • Bridge CS3 shows different colour on previews when they are selected

    LS,
    Problem, all of a sudden: Bridge CS3 shows different colours on previews when they are clicked and selected. At first, they are ok, they look the same as they are on camera. When I click an image and select it, it looks like there's a colour profile being applied to it, making the colours dull, its also pulls back the contrast of the image. Can this be corrected in prefences or something? So that the previews are the same as non corrected raw processed files?
    David

    Oh, good grief…  Sorry.  I forgot you haven't updated yet.  My bad.  
    In CS3 you'll find the Auto Tone adjustments in the Camera Raw preferences, and the use of high quality in Bridge preferences.  You won't have all the options available in CS4.
    If you are shooting raw, the upgrade to CS4 just to be able to use ACR 5.3 (and now 5.4) is a no-brainer.  Well worth the money.
    If you don't upgrade, you'll be leaving a lot of raw image quality on the table, as Jeff Schewe says. ACR 4.6 is light years behind 5.3 and 5.4.
    In addition, Bridge 2.x (CS3) is easily the worst piece of software ever released by Adobe or any other major software developer.  It should have been fixed for free by Adobe, but shamefully, it wasn't.  I would not hesitate to call it an unusable, worthless piece of cr@p.  Fortunately Bridge 3.x (CS4) is much better.
    However, I repeat:  What you are seeing is perfectly normal, expected behavior.

  • Same colors display differently between Illustrator and Photoshop

    Hi there,
    I would love to know why the same colors display differently between my Photoshop and Illustrator apps (CS3). For example, a logo will display much darker or more vividly in Illustrator than in Photoshop, same file, same colour values. My color settings are synchronized from Adobe Bridge to North American Pre Press 2. I've opened the logo file in RGB color mode, in both apps. It would be so helpful if both apps displayed the colours consistently.
    Any suggestions on how to do this would be wonderful!
    Thanks!
    Bobbie

    Hello Bobbie,
    I am using CS3 too and let me tell you that this Illustrator version is the worst ever. You best bet is to take the "Eye Drop" tool and select the Photoshop element to match the color.
    CS4 also have problems when handle placed items. Sadly I can tell you that CS2 is more reliable than CS3 and CS4.
    Not even if you use Pantone colors will match, Illustrator will change the colors making it impossible to match. "Adobe Quality"

  • Menu toolbar icons not displayed in colour when deployed on the Web

    Hello!
    We are developing an application using Forms6i on Windows NT.
    Our problem is that menu toolbar icons are not displayed in colour when the application is deployed on the Web using lookAndFeel = generic. This is the case both when using Microsoft IE5 and Netscape 4.5. When lookAndFeel = oracle, however, the icons are displayed in colour.
    The icons are stored as *.gif files in the same directory as the application *.html file. It does not help to create a virtual path /web_icons/ in the www listener and edit the parameter default.icons.iconpath in the file Registry.dat.
    When running the application as client/server, the menu toolbar icons are displayed in colour as expected.
    Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

  • How do I create a logotype with the letters in 2 different colours

    I need help with a logo. I'm trying to create a logo were it's as though a lamp is shining on the type so part of the letters are in 2 different colours.

    Set the type using the point text tool (meaning click then type, not click-drag-release then type). Use two type objects, one for each line.
    Draw the path for the light with the pen tool, fill it with yellow, and move it to the back (Object > Arrange > Send to Back).
    Select the top line of text and the spotlight and go to Object > Clipping Mask > Make.
    Now select just the type objects with the Direct Select tool (white arrow) and fill them with blue.
