High ISO color changes between LR and PS?

So I came across this anomaly after taking some test shots. There's a pretty drastic shift in colors when I bring a high ISO RAW from LR into PS and then save it to bring it back into LR. This file hasn't been edited, just saved as a tif through PS. Changing my working profile does nothing, and I don't think it's calibration related because it doesn't happen with my lower ISO (3200-) pictures. What I do know is it's being converted from 24 bit to 48 bit depth and changing color representation from sRGB to uncalibrated. From researching, I understand that the file info stating 'uncalibrated' just means that there is an embedded profile (which is what LR shows). Something is going on, but my attempts to fix it haven't worked. I've tried adjusting profiles (LR/PS are matched btw), assigning profiles, converting to profiles, and my monitor is callibrated. In detail, here is the issue I'm seeing:
LR RAW > PS TIF - everything is awesome > TIF LR - goes bad
Re-import tif edit to PS - everything is awesome again
Export tif edit from LR to JPG - looks like it does in LR (bad)
Export same tif edit from PS to JPG - looks like it does in PS (perfectly fine)
I just can't wrap my head around why this is only happening with high ISO images. Originally I suspected my monitor profile, but can't see how that would make sense if everything below 3200 ISO looks perfect between both programs. Is the tiff doing something with the noise? Is LR missing some information in the tiff? Is this to be expected? It basically seems to be diluting the contrast/vibrancy, which is easy enough to fix, but a bit of an annoyance anyway.

That's what I was trying to show with my examples. The issue I have with this is the reliance of having to use it to get identical colour results. I don't necessarily want to remove noise that I don't find is all that visible in the first place (without pixel peeping). I get okay results with milder luminance noise removal and extreme sharpening, but it's still something I don't think should *have to* to be done in every high ISO image.
Even when shooting below ISO 3200 where this LR anomaly doesn't occur you should be applying both Color and Luminance NR. My 21Mp full-frame Canon 5D MKII "default" NR setting is Luminance 0 and Color 15, and at ISO 3200 I typically use Luminace 25 and Color 25, or higher. Feel free to change any of your default settings in LR using Develop> Set Default Settings on the toolbar. You can also create Develop Presets for 'High ISO' images using Develop>New Preset. Make as many as you need based on your shooting needs. You can also quickly adjust one (1) image file and apply a unique NR setting across all the images shot at the same high ISO setting using Settings>Copy Settings and Paste Settings or 'Sync' button at the bottom of the Develop tools panel. Check just Noise Reduction>Color & Luminance in the Synchronize Settings' panel. And yes, a 1:1 (100%) view is the only way you should be making NR and Sharpening adjustments in LR.......they will only look better at lower view settings.

Stubborn, maybe? I try to shoot below 3200 as well, but it's nice to be able to keep my options open when need be and know I won't run into oddities like this when it comes to editing. Am I asking too much?
IMHO - Why not properly use these tools in LR all of the time, since it can be done for you almost automatically.

Color change between copy and paste

Hi,
when I draw a rectangle or any other shape in Pages and give that objet a color (RGB: 175,217,82) and I copy and paste that objet, the color of the copied object does change to (RGB: 188,219,108). Copying the copied object stays the same (RGB: 188,219,108).
This unwanted color-change is very annoying! Help, what am I doing wrong?
Best regards.
Maurice

Maurice,
There is a difference between the RGB color assigned to the object and the color you measure when you probe the screen area of the object with the color picker tool. I presume this has something to do with the screen driver's attempt to balance the colors or something. (Not an expert here, just observing.)
There hasn't been a change in color, just a difference between the assignment and the measurement. Trust the color swatch of the Fill tool, not the measurement tool.

Color changes between CS2 and CS4 opacity with effects turned on

Howdie.
I don't run into issues much with Photoshop, and this one has me stumped.
I needed to drop back to CS2 in order to use a warp mesh plugin. I saved out a small portion of a file that I created in CS4 (Only containing the layer I needed to warp) and then opened that file in CS2, turned off all the effects (drop shadow, inner glow, bevel & emboss), and applied the mesh warp, then saved the file. I went back into CS4 and re-opened it there and copied its layers into the bigger, original file. What is strange is that the colors were a LOT lighter than they should be when compared to the original unwarped layer. So in an attempt to figure out what was wrong, I checked all of my layer opacities, filter settings, layer mixing mode, etc. and everything was exactly the same. I even tried deleting the layer style and copying the layer style from the original layer...no change. I turn off the effects and check the color of the object and it reads the same as the original layer. Both layers have no semi-transparency in the colors. I turn the effects on and it is all whacked out. After a while, I figured out that the problem was that the layer opacity in the effects, although reading the same between both layers (70%), is behaving as if it should be at 90% opacity in the new layer in order to match the original. Its as if the layer worked on in CS2 has brought with it some corrupted info in its definition, that never leaves and affects any Effects you try to apply to it.
Has anyone experienced this one before?

A liitle bit more info here. Apparently, the pixel data for the warped parts screws with the effect, Inner Glow, in the Choke and Size sliders. The sliders simply quit functioning and have an abrupt light/dark toggle effect roughly near about value "7".
The only way I could fix the problem was to do this convoluted solution, since Duplicate Layer does not work.
    1. Clear the effects on the problem layer.
    2. At this point you can either work on the problem layer directly or duplicate it to create a work layer. Doesn't really matter because both layers will get deleted later anyway.
    3. With Channel Mixer, and for EACH color channel CMYK, move all 4 sliders hard left, so that the result is 0/0/0/0 for the CMYK values (Do NOT use Brightness & Contrast in place of Channel Mixer because you will lose any blurred edges. Also, using Channel Mixer does not swell or choke off the pixels along any "floating" shapes' edges).
    4. With the selection tool, create two small selection boxs at two opposite corners of the entire layer. Fill them with any color.
    5. Select the entire layer (CNTL + A on a PC), and copy it to the clipboard.
    6. Create a new Alpha channel and Paste. The little boxs at the opposite corners of the file were needed to precisely position a copy of the layer when we Paste it into the new channel. The contents of the channel must be exactly registered with where the original shapes were in the problem layer.
    7. If you want, you can now delete the boxs in the corners of the channel by filling them with black.
    8. Create a new layer and load the selection (the channel) we just created.
    9. Fill it with the desired color.
    10. Copy the desired effects from the original layer before warping was done and to the new layer we just created.
    11. Delete the old problem layer.
    12. Done.

Logo color changing between Illustrator and Premiere

I'm trying to import an .esp file into Premiere, but the color changes drastically from Illustrator to Premiere. Any suggestions on how to make it look more like the original?

CMYK originally, then I converted it to RGB in Illustrator. Both modes looked like the same too-happy blue in Premiere.

Color changes between Lightroom and Photoshop Elements

I have a new monitor and I have the SyderPro4 calbration software. My monitor is the Dell UltraSharp U2713HM. When calibrated with the Syder my colors are different when I go into different programs. The same photo looks different in Lightroom than it does in Photoshop Elements. When I export the picture from Lightroom to Elements the picture becomes very orange. I have already talked to Dell and to Datacolor about my issue and they both are telling me this shouldn't be happening. When I uninstall my calibration software my problem goes away, and the colors of the images stay consistant between the two programs. Does anybody have any advice to what maybe wrong?

How do you export to Elements? Directly from Lightroom? If so, what profile are you choosing? What resolution are you specifying? I normally use proPhoto RGB which is the profile that LR more or less uses internally and 330.

DM3.0 EA2: Filter engineering changes between logical and relational model

Hi,
when I am engineering changes between logial and relational model there are some issues at filter handling for me:
- When the filter "Show Modified Objects" is activated, the filter works only on the first level, e.g. on Entity level. On attribute level all attributes are displayed, not only the attributes which have really been modified. It is possible, to show on every level only the really modified objects?
- I think, selecting a Filter condition is circuitous. All filter conditions except "Show All Objects" keeps activated when I choose another condition. So I have to deactivate "Show Deleted Objects" when I want to see only the modified objects. It is possible to choose another control element for filtering, e.g. disjunctive radio buttons?
I am running Data Modeler on Windows XP with german localization and the JDK 1.6.0_11 from Oracle SQL Developer.

I logged bug for that.

Change between mono- and stereo-sound

My question is if there is any way to change between mono and stereo sound on the ipod nano 3th generation...?
Thanks for help!

Are you not getting stereo? What are you listening with - maybe there's a plug problem...
Does it sound like stereo from iTunes?

Color mismatch between CS4 and Canon PIXMA PRO6500

Hi there! I am trying to research if anyone else is having a problem with color mismatch between CS4 and their printer. Last night I printed a .tiff image out of CS4 to my Canon PRO6500 printer and the sky came out purple / pink! It was supposed to be a stormy grey color. I have the color management turned off on the printer settings. I have CS4 manages color turned on and the correct ICC profile selected for the paper I am using. When I do a soft proof in CS4 the image looks fine, but when I print I get something completely different, mostly with the sky (purple / pink) color! Just for the heck of it I did a Print Preview under my Page Setup and guess what, the sky actually shows purple / pink! So I have no idea what's going on. I checked all my setting, ink cartridges, tried different paper with the appropriate ICC profile and no dice. Still have a goofy looking sky! I thought PROOFING the image is supposed to show you how the printed image is going to look? apparently it doesn't because it's not. The Print Preview has an accurate representation of the print but I have no idea where the pink / purple sky is coming from. They are supposed to be stormy clouds as I said. I appreciate any help anyone can provide .
Sabciu

I have the color management turned off on the printer settings.
But do you have a measured color profile based on a sample print? Most likely not, so this is not doing anything in your favor. The current profile may present the defaults for a given printer, but not the actual density based on your other printer settings. So by all means, unless you can be sure to obey a full calibration throughout, turn on the printer CM. Also, since it is a Pro model, you may actualyl have to use the dedicated RIP software that was bundled with it to get correct results, not the default windows print engine.

Color shift between play and pause

Hello,
On CC 7.0 and 7.1, I noticed there is an important color shift between pausing and playing my timeline when using "CineForm Visually Perfect" encoded source material.
This is especially noticeable on reds.
Using other codecs, there is no such shift.
My video card is a Geforce 650M. At first, I thaught it might be related to the video overlay settings of the card, but there are no such settings in the control panel.
Besides, using Quicktime to play the source produces no shift as well.
As I am often doing color correction using Premiere, and as I have dropped Avid exactly because I always had this same problem (when using a profiled calibrated screen), I would like to know precisely what is going on. As I'm regularly producing shows for broadcast, it is a real problem not to be sure whether what you see matches the final exported output in all circumstances.
NB : For the need of searching the cause of this problem I disabled any custom profiling of my screen.
Thanks ! for any answers.
Fred

Sure and thanks. But nevertheless, if you color correct using a calibrated screen, and produce for the web ; or if you do a first pass of color correction before the ultimate pass happens with a "properly calibrated TV", wouldn't you like that your paused frame would look like your playing frame ?

Account "preferences" changing between home and work...

I'm not exactly sure what the issue is, but here goes...
On my MacBook I have only one user account (same as the administrator). At home, I connect to the Internet via Airport.
When I bring my notebook to work, I connect to the Internet via an ethernet connection. I do not have to login or any other maneuever to gain access to the Internet.
Everything works fine generally. One odd behavior I've noticed -- certain of my login items seem to disappear when I'm at work. Specifically, I have several Yahoo Widgets (Konfabulator) on my desktop. Only some launch when I'm at work. Also, it seems that certain changes to my desktop (wallpaper, location of icons, etc) change between home and work.
Any idea what might be causing this behavior? Thanks!

Hi Flojo:
You will need a seperate "screen name" for each Mac in order to video chat. The nice thing is you can get another .Mac screen name by signing up for another .Mac account and and after the free trial, you can keep the .Mac screen name.
OR
Just sign up for a free AIM screen name here: http://www.aim.com/
You don't need a paid .Mac account in order to video chat!

Color changes between Safari 3x and 4x

Does anyone have any info about color handling changes in 4.0.2?
I have a friend who upgraded from Safari 3x to Safari 4.0.2 and now the color is off on all her web pages. All the color on all parts of the page are desaturated. It certainly looks like a color profile problem but I can't seem to find any info about what might have changed between Safari 3x and 4.0.2.
I put an old copy of Safari on her machine, it is 2.0.4, and the colors are completely normal in it.
The machine in question is a macbook running 10.4.11.
Thank you.

I have the same problem!!
Apple has apparently decided that unless a color profile is assigned, it will make images in its new browser look like garbage. Meanwhile they still look great on Firefox.
I'm an artist and this is terrible. It means that to please Apple, I need to go resave and reupload all my images with an sRGB profile assigned.
In Firefox, the images look identical to how they were saved originally in Photoshop, without a profile. Yet they look washed out and terrible in Safari.
Gee, thanks Apple!!

Color changes between library/develop and web module

Hi there,
when changing between modules library/develop and web the color of the pictures changes. That means, pictures become darker and the red/orange colors become more intensive. Back to the library, everything is o.k. Webgaleries also change, but not normal exports.
Until yesterday everything worked wonderful, but then I updated from 3.0 to 3.3 and now there´s no more WISYWYG for the webgaleries!
Somedbody out ther who can help?
Thank´s, Tom

First up, Develop is the most current preview. Library previews depend on the preview settings and if they've been zoomed into recently. Web exports sRGB Jpegs and I believe the webcache files that are generated for preview are also. If you're using a Flash Gallery, then there is no colour management happening.
Is your monitor calibrated?

Color shift between Library and Develop module

Hi,
I recently noticed a color shift between in the image when going from the library to the develop module. Yes, I know this is mentioned in the FAQ, but I did not find the solutions given there to be satisfactory.
Let me explain what happens: I have taken Photos with my Canon EOS 300D, in Jpeg mode with Color Space in the Camera set to AdobeRGB. The photos I am talking about were taken with Tungsten light with auto white balance and have a distinct orange color cast. I use Windows XP and view my Photos on a LCD Display calibrated with the Pantone Huey system. The Lightroom Library Module and Photoshop CS2 both display the original image almost identically (there are no changes applied inside Lightroom or Photoshop, I view the original image in both applications). Photoshop is set to use the Adobe RGB Color space as its working Color space, Softproofing is switched off. However, when I switch to the Develop Module, the colors (especially the orange hues) shift very noticably toward pink. I can only assume that the Colorspace conversion or maybe some implicit soft proof used differs between the modules. So, to restate the problem: If I switch back and forth between Library and Develop, without changing anything and in 1:1 view to avoid errors introduced by different zooming methods, the colors shift quite drastically back and forth.
I have to say that this is really quite annoying. The whole point for me to use the develop module is to use it to make adjustments to the colors, and for this to work properly I have to see the same colors in both modules and in Photoshop. There is no point in correcting a pink color cast away in Develop that is not even there in either the library module or Photoshop (and that would then have a stronger orange tint because I tried to counter the pink tint in develop).
So this leads me to the final question: Is it possible to tell Develop to use the exact same color settings as the Library Module? Or is there another way to compensate for the color shift?
I hope I was clear in what happens and what I tried to do. If it helps I can gladly provide a sample photograph that clearly illustrates the point.
Thank you in advance for your help,
Daniel

Thanks for your comments, Don and Fred. I hope that this issue will be worked on soon.
Fred, I have set the Preview Quality to High, but it doesn't seem to make any differences concerning the color shift. I have investigated this matter further by now and made the following observations:
*The color shift is a lot less noticable on my laptop (the laptop screen is also color profiled). On my laptop the change is more of a subtle shift in contrast than in color. This might be caused by the smaller color gammut of my laptop display though.
*I have uploaded a testimage so that others can check if this shift occurs at their workstations too - after all, it might be a misconfiguration of my color management software, though I doubt that (because Adobe already states that library and develop render different previews). I would be interested if the color shift I describe is noticable at other workstations too. The link to the testimage: http://www.danyx.com/colorshift.jpg (permission to use the image to test the color reproduction is of course granted hereby).
Thanks for your help, I hope Adobe will listen soon,
Daniel

Need help with Color Profiles between Photoshop and iPhoto

Hey guys, I'm a photographer and have always used Photoshop in comination with iPhoto. I am having great difficulty lately with color profiles randomly changing within albums of pictures. I need all of my images to be in sRGB, but some somehow end up in Adobe RGB. It seems to happen at random. Apple seems to think it's an Adobe problem. Adobe isn't sure what to do. Anybody aware of any known issues between CS5 and iPhoto using OS 10.8.4 with regard to color profiles and how to fix them?

The article also says you need Scribus to then further process the SVG file.
@shaunamm You need to open the SVGin Illustrator, not place it. But I doubt that you will be able to get the effects in Illustrator.
