Green Tint using mattes or transitions

While using hdv footage, i've noticed that sometimes during matting and especially when i add a fade out transition; that at the frame the effect takes place, a green tint is added to the clip for the length of the transition. Any suggestions? Thank you.

LR 2.3 applies a green tint to RAW image AFTER making adjustments

Hi all,
Thanks for having this great forum, it looks like there is some great information here. I clicked around the LR threads and the FAQ but I haven't found anything applying particularly to my issue/question, though, and I'm hoping some of you can help me understand what is going on. .
I have read about LR changing the colorcast on import, however in my case the images look fine after importing and processing. When I click BACK to an image that I have already processed, I am seeing LR 2.3 apply a green tint to it, and I have no idea why.
What I am doing:
-Import Canon RAW files into LR collection (images look fine, no abnormal colorcast)
Develop tab:
-I can click around the collection and view the images without any colors changing
-Process an image to my heart's content (image color still looks fine)
-Click to the next image and process the next one
-Mouse-over on the previously processed image on the bottom filmstrip, and preview shows up on the Navigator pane (preview looks as the image was edited previously)
-if I click to a previously processed image in the filmstrip, it will load into the center pane
-while the processed image loads here, the green tint gets applied to the image
-Color tint/green saturation has not moved from its previous position (even if it was moved during initial processing)
-In order to correct it, I either have to adjust the color tint slider about 20 points away from green, or dial down the green saturation to compensate.
Once I re-correct the image, I can click back to it again, and the mysterious green tint will no longer re-apply itself on this image.
This happens to most if not all of the images in the collection. I have only processed one other RAW collection in LR, but I did not have this issue.
I dont know what exactly is being changed to result in this green tint applying on its own, so I'm not sure if the adjustments I'm making are correcting it.fully.
I hope I'm detailed enough in explaining what I'm seeing, and that it makes some kind of sense.
Does anyone know what is going on here?
Thank you!

Hi John, thanks for the reply.
Thanks, I'll look into the preferences in LR, although everything has remained mostly in its default settings. I've loaded JPG collections without seeing this either.
Would monitor profiles matter in my case? I ask because I am simply clicking back to a previous picture in the strip. When I leave the picture it looks fine, and returning to it shows that image but with the green tint. I haven't gotten to the point of exporting/converting the image, or anything further.
Some more information if it helps:
Using MS Vista
Using Canon Rebel XTi 400D
I copy only the raw files from the memory card to a folder, and then point the LR Import to that folder.
I will try replicating the issue on another computer in hopes to narrow it down. I am baffled.

Green tint when matting

while matting and using certain transitions, i notice a green tint to the video. This is especially apparent when fading out. Any suggestions on how to get rid of it ?

Green tint to Macbook Pro Retina screen.

Hello,
I have a Macbook Pro Retina less than 2 months old, earlier today the screen started to get a green tint on everything. I already attempted adjusting the color profile, which didn't affect the greenness of the screen.
Thoughts?
-Peter.

Ok, the EXACT same thing happened to me, although I sneezed all over the screen (gross) and then wiped it off with a windex covered paper towel. Then followed up with a damp microfiber towel to remove smudges. There was no way that water could have gotten in nor the windex.
So I raise you this question; did you use a microfiber cloth, and are you in a dry-cold or a dry-hot otherwise low humidity climate.
The reason I ask, theoretically if you did use a microfiber, had the computer on, and rubbed back and forth across the screen several times, you may have created static electricity, which may have interfered with the screen.
I found that after doing several power cycles (command+control+p+r+power) the green tint completely disappeared. I also noticed that the cat hair that flies around my house is not sticking to the screen anymore....
Food for thought

Monitor went temporarily to black and white with green tint

Last night when I turned on my computer my monitor showed only a black and white picture with an overall green tint. I restarted it, but the same. This morning, however, it is back to normal. The strange thing is that my house lights seemed to be dim, too. (I thought it was just me until I turned on my computer). Is this a sign that my monitor may be failing, or some kind of fluke?

It is, but only with a lot of compositing.
In FCP this would be doable with garbage mattes, but you'd need the 60 point one from Paul Crisp...and that wouldn't be fun.
In After Effects, you'd have to mask everyone else, and again, keyframe.
Shake might do this well, and it is on the cheap now. But it has a HUGE learning curve. And I have no doubt that even with Shake you are looking at a frame-by-frame manipulation.
Good effects aren't easy to pull off.

Screen is green when using 9400M graphics card

I was wondering if anyone knew why when I turn on the battery saving mode and use my 9400M graphics card as opposed to the higher quality one that my screen has a green tint to it.
If anyone knows how to fix this without going to the store, that would be fantastic!!

Update:
The problem still exists with the Powerpoint/Office version 11.3.0 (released this week).

Green tint, DV Pal, Color 1.0.2

Hi
Faced one problem with Color 1.0.2
I am using Color and outputing to PAL.
The green channel gets shifted and the footage gets a green tint when importing graded footage into FCP.
Any ideas how to fix it? Tnx.

"Square" pixels versus "rectangular" issue.
When viewing DV files in QuickTime the size used to be reported as 640X480 (NTSC here) instead of 720X480.

Crazy green tint on greys in Illustrator CS5.1

I've just downloaded the trial of CS5 having used Illustrator since before the Creative Suite existed. I'm trying to set up some colours but every time I'm making greys, they are coming out with this gnarly green tint that I don't want. The colour I'm mixing is showing up as regular grey in the colour mixer but in the image I'm working on and the swatch it's showing up with the tint.
Any ideas?

Interesting. The Screen captures you've posted have a green cast to them when viewing them on the forum but when I click on the image to enlarge, they are the gray you have shown in the color panel. I don't know if this will show it but

AVI Clips Imported to CS.5.5 Has Green Tint and Colored Lines

NOTE:
I'm using the video monitor in the CS5.5 program.
Still trying to upgrage to CS5.5 and testing out the trial version. The new challange is the green tint and colored lines on the imported .AVI files.
Any tips would sure be appreciated. Thanks.

This is crazy.
These are AVI files in CS5.5 that have been used for over 10 years in other versions of Premiere.
If I double click on the Monitor when the video is paused, the color corrects to original. Play again and crazy green color and lines.
Now, if I play the clip without double clicking on the monitor window, the clip will play out green and pause green, but if I double click in the monitor window, the video will correct in pause, but still play out green.
Here's one AVI file:

HP DesignJet 5500 PS - green tint (partial ) issue

Plotter: HP DesignJet 5500 PS 60 in We've noticed a drop in plot quality after upgrading our computers to Win 7/Win 8. The greenish tint stands out on raster ( aerial ) plots. First we blamed it on the paper we were using ( not matching the profile loaded on the plotter) then we found the driver to be causing this. Once Win 7 & 8 were released , HP failed to provide a PS driver. When installing the printer on Win 7 /8 you'll have to use Microsoft drivers for PS printing. This plotter is used 90% for ArcGIS/PDF plots so we needed a PS driver. A few months ago, one of the print heads started leaking and we ended up replacing the entire set of ink lines ( carrying ink from tank to print head). New ink cartridges were installed to make sure no air will be left in the ink lines .... About 1 month after this , we noticed that longer plots ( 36x72 or more) would not print correctly: the first half o the colors look correct then the remaining half a green tint is present. We usually print to PDF and afterwards we send it to the plotter. Apparently there are some issues when plotting a PDF using an HPGL2 driver so we've started sending raster plots straight to the plotter. Well, today I printed another 36x72 (raster & vector) using HPGL2 driver and only the first half of the plot looked the way it should ( last half was green). Has anyone had this problem? It's been suggested ( by our maintenance company) to buy a new plotter because the specs on the 5500 say it is only compatible with OS-s up to Win XP ! Is anyone plotting to an HP 5500 from a Win 7 / 8 PC? What drivers are you using? Are your plots looking good /as expected? Do your raster plots look good? Any help /feedback is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance! LR

Thank you both for taking the time to answer! Here is the status: I ran a few calibration tests: 1 color calibrations and printhead alignment. While the first color calibration looked OK, after printing a couple of demo pics from the plotter, I noticed issues with one of the colors ( missing lines). The following color calibration tests made it obvious the Light Magenta was failing. Replaced the printhead and printed again. When printing demo picture from the plotter colors looked ok. I am still testing with different drivers but at this point it looks like it is a driver issue: raster plots made using HPGL2 drivers are crisp while raster plots made using PS driver are greenish and faded- at least green tint appears to be constant now... This is just me testing , without vendor assistance.... I am plotting from ArcGIS ( not AutoCAD or Photoshop) but I seem to be the only one with such issues- hard to believe though.... I will post back again once I do more testing. Thanks again! LR

Opened LR2 in Vista32 Business everything had a green tint

Hi,
Just for the record I like to say that LR2 is incredible!!! I have been using LR since 1.0 and what a wonderful journey it has been. I like to consider myself very experienced with this software, but I am recently puzzled about an issue that has only happened twice and was wondering if anyone has had the same issue.
1) The first time: Opened LR2 in Vista32 Business everything had a green tint, every catalog, every image was just green. So I closed and rebooted my PC, reopened LR2 and everything was ok. So I figured weird but no big deal, never happened again until!!!!
2) The second time: Same thing, but this time it will not go away. I even went as far as pulling a backup of one of my catalog files and the same thing.
So anyone???
Thanks in advance.

There is a very subtle effect you might be able to see in the shadows where Lightroom will look slightly different from any other color managed program. I had a discussion with somebody else with an eye-one that had that problem that disappeared when using matrix profiles. You might never get to see it though. This is far subtler then your green problem though on your PC.
Regarding the strong color tint, often what I think happens is that a windows machine gets some sort of driver update that the user just installs without thinking about it. This driver update however contains a hidden monitor profile. Often they are the new Microsoft version of v5 profiles done by a monitor manufacturer but never tested with Lightroom. Those tend to hose Lightroom's color display. A good indication of this is when the Histogram display looks off - i.e. the area that is supposed to be grey has a strange tint.

I have a DeskJet 979Cse. ever since I got a new computer with Windows 7 (64 bit), every color print has a green tint.
I've tried changing the color management profiles and calibrating the monitor, but I still get a green tint on every color print. The image looks fine with the correct colors on the monitor, but when I print it out I get an image with a distinctive green tint.
Other than this disturbing color problem the printer works normally.

Say Thank you Microsoft. MAPI, the tool used for most of the "mail magic" in windows is depreciated and not included in Windows 7, it can be made to work on 32 bit Windows 7, bit 64Bit such as I have just does not play. Microsoft Office, word particularly is hard coded for Microsoft Outlook, so sending mail from Word is quite difficult.
My solution has been to Dump Microsoft and use the Free open source LibreOffice. I don't have to do battle with the ribbon either and that is a god send.

Colors become oversatured with green tint after last import

Hi,
I use Lightroom on Windows Vista and after last import from my D300 my images have colors that are oversaturated and have a green tint that makes eyes bleed. Following advice from http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb402862&sliceId=2 and upgrading to 1.4.1 didn't solve this problem.
I also noticed this same problem on older images which were fine before so my guess is that this problem is self-inflicted. I would really appreciate any ideas on how this could happen and how to fix it.
I apologize if this question has been asked before, but I couldn't find it in KB or forums.

>my green colors issue was "fixed" by adding the sRGB profile to my windows monitor settings and setting it as the default in place of the manufacture-provided profile (which i made sure was up to date). i don't quite understand why that would make things better as my monitor is surely not capable of reproducing the full sRGB gamut. is it correct for me to assume that there is some other lightroom or windows problem at hand for which this procedure happens to be a workaround? or is there something more fundamental about color management that i'm missing here?
Chalk another one up to a bad manufacturer-supplied profile. We have seen these here hundreds of times now. Technically what happens is that Lightroom uses the perceptual profile present in such a profile, while most other color managed software (Photoshop, Safari, etc.) use the relative colorimetric. For some reason, many manufacturer-supplied profiles have corrupt perceptual intent in them. This makes Lightroom (and any other app that uses it) appear weird. Bottom line is that you cannot get good color on any system without calibrating it yourself. Rarely is a manufacturer profile any good, even if the perceptual intent is not broken.

Strange Results keying out Green Screen Using Keylight

Hi,
I'm keying out a green screen using keylight. When I look at the view "Status" in keylight I notice a strange result that I can't seem to resolve. Inside the solid area of the matte (the actor) his pants and shoes area are filled with tiny light green dots. They seem to be causing distortion on my final render.
No matter what adjustments I make to the matte I can't seem to get rid of these. I've attached a few small GIFs to show the issue.
Is there anyway to remove these dots so they are "solid" within the matte or a way to color correct them inside the solid area of the matte in the final result?
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,

That's what the Despot options in the Screen Matte section are for. Alternative options include Minimax, Simple Chocker or third-party plug-ins like Re:Fill from RevisionFX. Also make good use of the various rollback options to control your Alpha levels.
