How to: DNG colors from pentax camera are completely different in camera raw compared to pentax soft

Hi all, i have a problem.
I always used adobe camera raw to manage RAW files. I find it really fast and friendly compared to many other programs (i mean lightroom, pentax digital camera utility, DxO optics pro, Silkypix, etc.). It has no rivals, on my macbook pro it is absolutely faster than others.
BUT i found a lot of differences comparing colors (not just tone, but definition inside an object with similar colors) from a DNG using camera raw vs pentax digital camera utility 4. It is a know problem by pentax people. You can check (without the camera) the problem here (see the colorcheker chart): http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/pentaxkx/page14.asp
I can post examples of what i mean speaking of "definition inside an object with similar colors"...
I always use the "embedded" camera profile in camera raw, finding it more similar to the pentax software. The adobe standard is really different.
Is there a way i can bypass this issue? using pentax digital software is really boring…it's unfriendly, SLOW, with bad light adjustments and interface.
I tried opening the DNG with pentax software and converting it to tiff: the colors are ok, but you lose a lot adjusting light etc.
thank you all

> I don't know anything, and haven't read anything, about the unique characteristics of Pentax DNG files.
firmware in cameras that can create raw files in .DNG format (Pentax, Samsung, Ricoh, Leica) will write so called DNG profile in those raw files (see Sandy's comments) - those profiles are not identical to what Adobe creates to use w/ ACR/LR, but they also can be used by Adobe raw converters (you will get a little different colors)... you can extract those profiles from native DNG raw files for example using Adobe DNG profile editor... in addition, Pentax cameras (modern) can create raw files either in their own PEF format or in DNG format and Pentax suppied software (DCU) can in fact create DNG files from PEF files and unlike Adobe DNG converter DCU will do that w/o discarding any information and it will write Pentax DNG profile in those converted DNG files.

Noticed that my NEF files from Nikon D7000 camera are noticeably different in LT4 vs Nikon software?

Hello,
Noticed that my NEF files from Nikon D7000 camera are noticeably different in LT4 vs Nikon software. Read where folks are adjusting setting in LR4 for Nikon camera, but need help in how please. Also, perhaps there is a better way?
thanks,

There is now another way, dunno if you'll consider it better or not :
ISO Detailer now has infrastructure for supporting camera settings emulation.
Implemented so far (Nikon only):
* Picture Control Name (e.g. Neutral, Vivid, ... ) -> Camera Calibration Profile.
* Active D-Lighting -> Lr basic adjustments.
If you want other stuff, you'll have to come up with it yourself, by editing a table in lua text format (or supply the information for me to do it).
Reminder: Ottomanic Importer can do this emulation during import, ISO Detailer is for doing it after import.

After turning an image black and white, how can I color in a certain area?

After turning an image black and white, how can I color in a certain area?

How did you change it? Did you make your B&W on a separate layer? If so, just erase the part of the layer you don't want, or add a layer mask and paint with black over the parts you want to hide.
If not, then you can copy/paste the original photo (you will need to press ctrl+A/cmd+A to select all before you can copy) into the new image. From there it depends on the relative proportions of B&W. Arrange the two layers so the one with the most area that you want to keep is on top, and either mask out the rest or just erase it away.
For future reference, an easier way to do this when starting from scratch is to use the smart brush. Choose a black and white conversion style, turn on the inverse checkbox and paint over the part you want in color. The rest of the photo turns black and white, leaving what you paint over in the original colors.

What cameras are compatible with the camera connection kit

what cameras are compatible with the camera connection kit and ipad2

I also recently bought the camera kit and found that it worked fine as long as you don't format the SD card using PC. Once I re-formatted using my camera I could once again upload my photos. that was until I switched formats to Adobe RAW, it seemed unable to upload again. So I switched to S RAW and that worked fine. Sometimes my kit won't upload photos but I find that by just re-inserting the card it works fine.
Haven't tried video yet, but I recently learned that the devices are quit sensitive to the "Format"(that needs to be FAT32, or exFAT- but in this instance it needs to be formatted by a Mac).
Good luck

How to make color from greyscale images?

I have got a few photos into greyscale. How can I make them back to any color I want? thanks,

You can use the Smart Brush tool, the one with the gears, select color from the drop-down, and paint.
You can make selections of various objects, place a Hue/saturation adjustment layer above each selection, clip the adjustment layer to the selection, and in the H/S layer tick the colorize box. Adjust the sliders to suit.
If you want more targeted guidance, post a representative file here for us to look at.

How to copy data from one planning area to other planning area

Hi ,
I need to copy data from one planning area to other planning area, the MPOS for two planning areas are differant and here my scenario is one planning area having extra key figures.
First i need to release forecast data to CIP planning area and then, i load the data from infocube to MPS planning area and copy the data from CIP planning area. here both MPS and CIP planning areas having different MPOS .
Please help me in this. Please give me the stepls i need to follow.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Chandu

Hi,
You can use the transaction /sapapo/tscopy.
In this you can configure your source plng area and destination plng area. You also have an option to map your KF. There is no problem if the MPOS are different as long as you are able to map the characteristics between the 2 MPOS.
Alternatively, you can create an Infocube which shares common ground between the 2 planning areas and extract data from CIP plng area into the infocube and then copy teh data from infocube to MPS plng area using the the transaction /sapapo/tscube.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

In "Preferences"..."Privacy" ..."History" the "Accept Cookies From Sites" options are completely gone. What now?

this is Firefox 20.0 OS desktop

If you see "(Never) Remember History" then that means that all history and cookie settings are set to the default values and thus cookies are enabled.<br />
The "Use custom settings for history" choice allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting this doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings.<br />
Firefox shows the "Use custom settings for history" selection as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.<br />
If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".<br />
"Never Remember History" means that Private Browsing is active and "Always use private browsing mode" gets a check mark.<br />
The "Use custom settings for history" choice stays selected if at least one of the History or Cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes from the defaults are made.

Photosmart 8750 - how to avoid white edges on print? And how to match colors from monitor to print?

Hi all! I´m new here so I hope I ask this in the right forum. Please advice me if this should be in another sub-forum..
First: The white edges around my photos when printed:
I can´t figure out how to avoid the white edges when I print my photos.
If I print in A3 size (or any other size) there´s always the white edges around my photos on the print, and it´s really annoying.
I make the size in Photoshop (CS4 extended) so that the photo matches the size of the printing paper, but still it gets adjusted when printing so I get the white edges.
I either print directly from PS or from Windows Photoviewer. (I have Windows 7).
In PS in the printing dialog box it says Scale to fit media, when I tick this and also have the Show Paper White ticked, it appears that the photo goes exactly as the size is set, but then I can see a thin white edge on top of it, illustrating that the photo will be printed with a white edge on top. If I untick the Scale to fit media, the photo appears to be cut a great deal before printed, so this will destroy my image.
I usually print from Windows Photoviewer as the colours in PS turns out more different than when saved and printed from Windows. (My next question). In Windows Photoviewer I only have the option Fit to frame, but in the preview it doesn´t look like any of those two options will give a borderless print.
In the printers dialoge box for the Paper/Quality I only use the option for A3 HP glossy photopaper, but I see there are other options such as Photo without edges A3, but then the size says 423x303mm which is slightly bigger than the size of the photo.
Also there´s a box to tick under it, Print without edges and under it Automatic fit without edges.
Is it something here I should tick or untick?
What options should I use to get it to print and fill the whole paper?
Second: How to get the same colours on my print as it shows on my monitor?
I have tried figuring out this, but I gave up. Though I know there´s something about the Profile´s, just not how to set them..
As already said, the colours looks quite different when printed directly from PS than saved as .jpg and printed from Windows Photoviewer. In colours the print is closer to the actual colours when printed from Windows than from PS, but BW photos is quite far from as seen on the monitor when printed, from both of them.
Instead of this nice warm "brownish" hue seen on my monitor, it´s printed with a greenish hue. Really annoying as I spend a lot of time working on my photos to get them as I like.
In the printer´s dialog box (in Windows) I have disabled the ICM colour management.
In PS dialog box I´m sure there´s something to do different under the Color Management, but I don´t know what.
Also there´s probably something different in my monitor´s profile that differs from the printer and PS?
Anyone who can help with either one or both of my problems??
That would be highly appreciated so thanks so much in advance!

How to delete images from folder which are not in the database

I am created windows form
i wont to delete images from the folder where i have stored images but i only want to delete those images which are not in the data base.
i don't know how it is possible . i have written some code
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
string connectionString = "Data Source";
conn = new SqlConnection(connectionString);
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
cmd.Connection = conn;
cmd.CommandText = "select * from tbl_pro";
conn.Open();
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
da.Fill(dt);
int count = Convert.ToInt32( dt.Rows.Count);
string[] image1 = new string[count];
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
image1[i] = dt.Rows[i]["Image1"].ToString();
string[] image2 = new string[count];
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
image2[i] = dt.Rows[i]["Image2"].ToString();
var arr = image1.Union(image2).ToArray();
string[] arrays;
String dirPath = "G:\\Proj\\";
arrays = Directory.GetFiles(dirPath, "*", SearchOption.AllDirectories).Select(x => Path.GetFileName(x)).ToArray();
int b= arrays.Count();
for (int j = 1; j <= b; j++)
if (arrays[j].ToString() != arr[j].ToString())
var del = arrays[j].ToString();
else
foreach (var value in del) // ERROR DEL IS NOT IN THE CURRENT CONTEXT
string filePath = "G:\\Projects\\Images\\"+value;
File.Delete(filePath);
here error coming "DEL IS NOT IN THE CURRENT CONTEXT"
I have to change anything .Will It work alright?
pls help me
Sms

Hi Fresherss,
Your del is Local Variable, it can't be accessed out of the if statement. you need to declare it as global variable like below. And if you want to collect the string, you could use the List to collect, not a string. the string will be split to chars
one by one.
List<string> del=new List<string>();
for (int j = 1; j <= b; j++)
if (arrays[j].ToString() != arr[j].ToString())
del.Add(arrays[j].ToString());
else
foreach (var value in del)
string filePath = "G:\\Projects\\Images\\" + value;
File.Delete(filePath);
If you have any other concern regarding this issue, please feel free to let me know.

How to disable iPhoto from starting up when I connect a camera?

I don't use iPhoto, but annoyingly, it starts itself every time I connect my camera to my iMac. How do I disable this? There seems to be nothing in "Preferences".
I have iPhoto 4. One of the gripes that I have, and a reason I don't use or update iPhoto, is that it seems to be impossible to upload just SOME of the photos in my camera. It's all or nothing. Does anyone know if later versions of iPhoto have fixed this?

Odd because when I went to the apple store to talk to their "genius bar" when I had a problem with my laptop they said " you can't change that option"i was like...are you kidding me???? So after all this time I finally find this option in the apple forums. T hank you guys this really helped me. I was sick and tired of it starting up every time i connect my digi cam or iphone.

[solved] How to remove color from yaourt output?

Hi everyone,
I am having a problem with removing color output from yaourt.
In order to get a list of installed packages in kdemod-core, I execute the following:
yaourt -Qs ^kdemod | grep kdemod-core | awk '{print $1}' > kdefiles.txt
Some time ago colored output was usually lost when piping commands. For some reason it is not removed anymore so that I get the following file content:
[1;35mkdemod-core/[0m[0m[1mkdemod-kde-common
[...] and so on
Of course pacman doesn't understand this anymore:
pacman -S `cat kdefiles.txt`
Btw. The same options (-Qs ) with pacman search only locally installed packages.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
David

pacman -Ss searches on-line.
Thanks, but then I don't have the packages that are installed. It is of course much faster and without color but doesn't solve my problem.
Then only thing I could find so far was a statement, that piping through less for example removes color for security reasons. That doesn't seem to be true any more.
There is a col command which outputs plain text but there are still characters left.
