How to Enable Color Management? (DV Compression Is Lightening Gamma)

This problem has plagued me with both After Effects and Premiere. I have a project with a number of .mpeg video files (I know MPEG is a bad file choice, but it's not causing the problem--I tested this with uncompressed media also). In AE, I have a darkly lit scene with gamma turned down to produce pure blacks in the shadowy areas. When I render as DV, Windows Media, or QuickTime and play the resulting file in Windows Media Player or Media Player Classic, the file has rather ugly dark grays where pure blacks should be. I read the article on color management and thought I had found the problem, but the "Use Display Color Management" option is grayed out and I've been unable to re-enable it.
Also, I don't know if this is of any major value, but the DV and Windows Media file versions look the same in Windows Media Player as they do in Media Player Classic. QuickTime files look slightly better in Classic than in the default QT player. This issue is especially confusing since the article only acknowledged that this can happen with QuickTime, whereas I'm having this problem with all formats except uncompressed. Thanks!

> How do I enable display color management?
Have you enabled color management for the project (i.e., selected a working color space for the project)? If not, please read
"Choose a working color space and enable color management" for an explanation of how to enable color management for a project.
"Enable or disable display color management" contains information on managing colors using your monitor's color profile.
You said that you read "the article on color management", by which I presume that you mean the "Color Management Workflow" white paper on the Adobe Design Center website. That paper links to the
"Color management" section of After Effects CS3 Help on the Web and presumes that you'll consult that document for some of the basic underlying concepts and detailed procedures.
> And I guess it's a redundant question, but are the answers to this issue the same for Premiere as for AE?
Premiere Pro does not do color management.

  • How to enable Remote Management on multiple Macs using Workgroup Manager?

    Hi
    I want to use workgroup manager to enable remote management on multiple macs I manage.
    How can I do that?
    Regards,
    Omer Barel

    The only way I know to enable remote managment remotely is by running kickstart.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2370
    If you are already using a login script you could run kickstart from there.
    We clone our Macs with remote management turned on.
    Otherwise, lace up your sneakers.   

  • How is "No Color Management" invoked in Aperture 3 compared to Aperture 2.

    I have 2 printers, a Canon IP8500 and a Hiti S420 dye-sub . Both printers were used succesfully with Aperture 2 and Leopard. Upgrading to Snow Leopard seemed to destroy previous colour management by Aperture and this was not cured, either by OSX version 10.6 or the introduction of Aperture 3. The arrival of !0.6 prompted Apple to include (in its OSX updates) Drivers for major Printer manufacturers, such as Canon and Epson, but not for Hiti and lesser known printers. Notwithstanding current practice of Drivers for the Canon being upgraded with upgrades to Apple OSX, print colour has not recovered its former high standard and prints display a dark reddish cast, which is correctable only by wasteful trial and error gamma adjustments. The Hiti displays the same problems and I have to conclude that two management profiles, Apple's and the printer's, are being applied to the output print.
    In Photoshop, print setting includes the ability to invoke "No color Management" and one can of course shell out from Aperture to an outside editor such as Photoshop, but what a pain! And, anyway, the colour is still somewhat out of balance, suggesting that 10.6 was not the milestone it was cracked up to be.
    Questions to the Aperture Team at Apple's support have elicited extracts from the Manual as follows:
    Turning Off Color Management in Your Printer
    For best results, you should turn off color management in your printer - How is not explained - when printing an image using Aperture. By default, most printers are set to convert the image to the printer’s color space. However, Aperture is designed to perform this conversion internally. Each printer manufacturer creates its own Print dialog. This means the setting for turning off color management in your printer varies depending upon the manufacturer of your printer and the printer model.
    Note: If you have multiple printers connected to your computer, you should create a print preset and turn off color management for each printer.
    To turn off color management for your printer
    Refer to the owner’s manual that came with your printer.
    Due to "Each printer manufacturer creates its own Print dialog." I have no insight what dialog you should use to prevent your Printer to double up an additional Profile.
    This does not actually advance my case. 1) Apple provide the Driver for Canon 2) There is no instruction how to create a Print Preset, nor what it should contain 3) There is no explanation of how to invoke controls, as in Aperture 2.

    Creating and Modifying Print Presets
    The above link is to a section of the User Manual.
    (Added)
    There are also Print Presets for your printer (printing from Aperture goes through two dialogs -- one of Aperture's, and one from your printer).  Usually, you can change settings and then select something like "Save as new Preset" from the drop-down Preset selector.

  • How to disable Color Management using HP Inkjet 6988

    Hi: When printing in Photoshop CS4 it says to make sure you turn off Color Management in your printer.
    How do I turn off Color Management in my HP Inkjet 6988?
    Any help will be very much appreciated.
    Gus Hallgren aka unclegus24

    Hi HighHeelTech, 
    Follow these steps to select a color management option:
    1. Open the Printer Properties dialog box.
    2. Click the Color tab.
    3. Click one of the following options in the Color Management drop-down list:
    ColorSmart/sRGB: ColorSmart/sRGB is an appropriate option for most print jobs. It is used for most Web-based documents and current imaging devices.
    AdobeRGB: When using AdobeRGB to print from a professional software program, turn off the color management in the program and allow the printer software to manage the color space. Use the AdobeRGB setting for photos that were originally created in the AdobeRGB color space.
    Managed by Application: Use this option to allow the program from which you are printing to manage the color of the photo.
     ICM (Image Color Management): ICM is a Microsoft technology that helps ensure that a color image, graphic or text object is printed as close as possible to its original color and helps keep its colors consistent and accurate.
    4. Select any other print settings that you want, and then click OK.

  • How to enable color printing setting in R/3

    Hi,
    We have configured HP COLOR Laster jet 2650DN printer at r/3 level. but users are not getting print in color, when they give non sap print, then it prints in colors. I tried to enabled the color printer option in spad -> output attribute, but it didnot help. Is ther any other setting can enabled the color printing in sap ?
    Thanks
    Rajesh Kokane

    I understand that the issue is with color printing only for this printer. What device type are you using? Only printers listed in this note are fully tested and supported by SAP as detailed.
    Does color printing work for other printers you have and are the SPAD settings the same?

  • How to enable COLOR EFFECT, DISPLAY, etc. panels for the custom components?

    POSITION AND SIZE and COMPONENT PARMETERS are the only panels available for the custom components. Is there a way to configure the custom components or the Flash Pro itself to enable other panels (COLOR EFFECT, DISPLAY, etc.) that available for the Adobe UI components?

    In Flash CS6, you'll need to place your component(compiled clips) inside a Movieclip symbol to apply these settings. In Flash CC, you may do so directly from the Properties panel like for any other movieclip symbol.
    Let me know if you face issues.

  • Color Management in Adobe Flash Player

    Is there any way to enable color management in Adobe Flash Player? I want to see color-managed-video on some sites that use Flash Player (like YouTube). I've looking for the solution anywhere, but happened not to found one. Any help would be appreciated.

    It looks like this is driven by the content and might be browser dependent - http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/quickstart/color_correction_as3.html
    However, I'd try disabling hardware acceleration to see if that makes a difference.  I wouldn't be surprised if using the GPU altered the way this works.

  • CS3 color management won't match prints

    Okay, I know there are a lot of boneheds who can't figure out how to set up color in Bridge and CS3 but I am at my wits end on this so bear me out.
    Windows XP and CS3
    Bridge is set to; Enable color management in Bridge
    RAW conversion is SRGB
    CS3 color settings/working space set to SRGB
    Print color management is set to SRGB and Photoshop manages colors
    Printer is set to "application manages colors" (HP B9180)(btw, I have also tried it set to SRGB)
    Image looks the same on Bridge, RAW conversion, CS3 and print screen (dark)Image looks LIGHTER when viewed with any other program (including windows picture and fax viewer, HP print program, Paint Shop Pro and online) and prints to match the lighter image both on my HP and from my lab!
    The closest I have been able to get to a total sync is to set Photoshop's color settings to "Monitor color," and uncheck the box in Bridge that says "apply color management settings in Bridge." In that case, Bridge and CS3 produce a lighter image but RAW conversion is still darker. Plus, who the hell wants to use monitor color in Photoshop!?

    That's pretty much it David... I could get Photoshop to match my prints but then any other program would show the prints as being waaaay off-color.
    Today I bought a spider2express and color balanced my monitor. Now everything seems to look in sync and my prints match very close (a little warm for my tastes..). Tech support at Photoshop told me it was a calibration issue but I thought that was bull... i mean, how can calibration make an image that looks different in two different programs look the same? Well, it does. As far as I understand it now (layman's terms)when you look at an image in windows viewer ot explorer or any other non-color management program you are looking at the image based on your monitor profile. When you look at the same image in photoshop the program uses it's own color management which then gets filtered through your monitor program to your eyes (but not to the printer). If your monitor profile is bad, the image looks bad.
    Or something like that :)

  • Bridge Color Management Issue - Looking for Registry setting

    We have 100 people in our office. Currently, in order to enable color management, we have to go into each person's Bridge Center Color Management Color Settings panel, select our custom color settings file and hit apply. That takes care of 1 out of 100 people.
    How can we automate this process...
    We would like to create a script that sends a custom color setting file to individual user's stations. Does anybody know the registry setting that controls synchronization of settings on a user level?
    Thanks,
    Dan

    Dan,
    Did you ever find such a mechanism? I am looking to do pretty much the same thing. I can get the .CSF file to the workstations no problem, but I need to set the apps to look at it for their Color Settings. My guess is that there is a registry settings somewhere, but for the life of me I cant find it.

  • Another color management question

    Hi folks,
    Apologies for yet another color management question, but Im getting very confused and could do with some help. I use a Canon 10D and Canon 30D. Ive come to LightRoom from Pixmantec Raw Shooter.
    As Ive gotten more serious about producing high quality images for both the web and as prints, I thought Id invest in the Colorvision Spyder2 calibration product. So my monitor is now calibrated (quite a difference from what I was seeing!) and I have a calibration profile applied.
    My needs are pretty obvious I want my images to look the same wherever theyre viewed including exported files (such as JPEGs) whether this be on my monitor (in LightRoom, a web browser, Paint Shop Pro, whatever) and on a printer.
    Perhaps Im getting confused because Im trying to compare what LightRoom does with what RawShooter does.
    In RawShooter, when exporting from RAW to JPEG, I can specify the RGB Working Space Im using and then select my monitor profile. I think that what happens is that the export mechanism takes this profile into account and, low and behold, the JPEG looks fine when viewed in any web browser - the colours are exactly the same as in RawShooter. In Paint Shop Pro they look fine too unless I enable Color Management in which case (Im guessing) the monitor profile is, essentially, applied twice! But the upshot is I seem to get the results I want.
    What I cant figure out is how I do this in LightRoom. I can make the same adjustments to the RAW image as I did in RawShooter, but there doesnt seem an option for me to select my profile on export to JPEG only the standard 3 color spaces. Anyway the result is a JPEG that looks somewhat different when viewed in a web browser, or Paint Shop Pro with Color Management turned off. However, if I turn Color Management on in Paint Shop Pro, then it looks fine. So Im assuming that my profile isnt accounted for when exporting JPEGs from LightRoom.
    So any pointers or explanations would be really appreciated. I also acknowledge that this is my first foray into color management, and feel free to tell me to go and read some introductory article (link please!) and then come back with a sensible question if thats whats needed!
    Thanks in advance.

    Lightroom color management.
    a.) Monitor profile used: The profile set as the default in your operating system (e.g. Windows xp). (your monitor profile software usually does this when you calibrate/profile your monitor).
    b.) Working space: ProPhotoRGB
    c.) Export color space: You can choose one of the following sRGB; Adobe RGB or Pro Photo RGB.
    There is no option (afaik) to change a.) or b.) the option you choose in c.) will affect how the exported image will be displayed in color managed applications or non-color managed applications.
    Non-color managed applications are not able to display Adobe RGB or Pro Photo RGB correctly. I guess if you wish a consistent display of your images in color managed and non-color managed applications then the only common factor is sRGB and you should export your images in sRGB color space.
    The benefits of the other expanded color spaces are in printing and you also would have to get this end of your color management correct. Printing profiles to match your printer and each paper being used etc.
    Until you can get this all sorted out you will get better results from sRGB, this is also applicable when using most commercial printing services.
