How to set color profile when exporting a RAW file version as a JPEG?

I import my raw files to Aperture and when exporting as a JPEG I want to specify a color profile of sRBG. I cannot see how to set the color profile for the export. Does anyone know how to do this?

When you go to export versions, edit the presets, and there is a drop down box that lets you select the profile.
I'd suggest picking up the Aperture book by Luna, Long, and Harrington. Lots of great info there.

How to change color profile of exported photos in iPhoto

Hi
Please help. I want to change color profile of exported photos in iPhoto. The iPhoto in my macbook air with mac OS X Yosemite always exports photos in Adobe RGB 1998. How can I make it export photos in sRGB color profile?
Thanks

You can assign a color profile with Preview.

Setting colour profiles when exporting

Aperture is assigning an AdobeRGB colour profile to my files upon export, or transfer to Photoshop CS5. I have the export preset set to sRGB but despite this there is a profile mismatch when opening it in photoshop. The files are shot RAW, the camera is set to sRGB. The files have only ever been brought from the camera to Aperture, no other program is involved in the workflow. Is there a setting that I am missing??

Welcome to the user-to-user forum.
What do you have set at "Aperture→Preferences→Export→External Editor Color Space"?
Not sure that's it -- and you specify both export and "transfer" - by which I assume you mean use the assigned external editor -- but worth looking at.
(Added: Ah, time lag! Could have saved me the effort.)

Why can't I include a color profile when exporting to PDF?

I've a basic RGB illustrator file - no embedded or linked images, just flat colors and gradients.
I'm working in sRGB space and this is reported correctly in the info field at the lower left of the editing window.
Some issues:
1. When I look at this file in Bridge it's listed as 'untagged'. However if I re-open it in illustrator it's reported to be sRGB as expected.
What's broken here?
...and of more immediate concern:
2. Despite requesting 'Include All Profiles' on the output page of the PDF save dialog I cannot get a PDF exported that includes the sRGB profile.
Same issues in both CS6 and CC - Windows 7, 64.
Thoughts, comments or suggestions welcomed....
Thanks

Your .pdf is fine, if you open the .pdf in illustrator, adn hten do edit >> assign profile, this radio biutton will bo on what the profile. Also in the bottom left of illustrator you can see what color profile your document is saved with, btuy turning that on.
Hold down option adn you will get other fun easter egg options
Bridge only seems to show profiles for certain bitmapped formats, except .psb format.

Convert color profile when exporting?

is there a way to force Lightroom to export JPGs using a specific color profile? I've got a bunch of ProPhoto profiled images but I need to export them for the web using sRGB... help?

Hm, Lee Jay, I didn't see your response until I sent mine. I guess everything is not perfect in the forum either. :-)

Color space when exporting from RAW

Hello,
I am a new user of Lightroom and I find color spaces topic a bit confusing so far. My main question is: when exporting a photo, does Lightroom convert to a profile or assign a profile? Because there is no way to choose. I tried to export a photo with 3 different color spaces (sRGB, AdobeRGB and ICC profile from laboratory where I print my photos). After exporting them to JPEG it turned out that all of them look differently on my monitor - does it mean that Lightroom assigns a profile? If it was converting, shouldn't they have the same colours? What is more, after printing them in laboratory, results were completely different than I expected - the photo which had closest colours to what I saw in Lightroom was that in sRGB, but that with ICC of Lab was very different (much colder colours).
Where is the problem, or what aspect do I seem to misunderstand? Do I have wrong settings, should I use DNG to work with photos, should I export to TIFF, or I just have too weak monitor or wrongly calibrated one? Should I calibrate when viewing a picture in Lightroom or with the use of a photo exported to the ICC profile of Lab?
I would like to have a little bit of control over what I'm working on, depending on whether I want to publish it on a website or print. I know that my monitor can be a problem (I have an iiyama with IPS), but surely there has to be any way to make results of my work a bit closer to my expectations.
Just for information, my workflow doesn't require Photoshop, as I rather prefer to use only tools from Lightroom. I hope that my problem doesn't require the use of Photoshop.
I will be really greateful for your help - the general knowledge about colour spaces seems to be unsufficient when it comes to the usage of applications such as Lightroom.
Many thanks,
Marcin

Both.
What you mean by both? How should I interpret it? I cannot choose "convert" or "assign", so how they both work together? What does it mean for me wanting to process photo and print in Lab?
I can only add, that those 3 photos which I exported to JPEG with 3 different colour spaces, they look different when viewing outside of Lightroom, ie. IrfanView. But when importing those JPEGs into Lightroom, differences are extremly slight. Is that because Lightroom operates in ProPhoto, which covers all colour spaces which I used, and other programs work in sRGB and those photos differently?
And the last question for now: will the hardware calibrator help in monitor which is, let's say, medium cost and medium quality? I mainly use it for preparing photos to put them on the website gallery, but would be nice if I could print better ones with a bit of certainty about what I will get from Lab.
Many thanks!!

When you export a photo from LR, it converts to the colour space you select (e.g. sRGB) and embeds the appropriate profile in the exported file.
If your monitor were calibrated and profiled, and you view with a colour-managed viewer then images should look pretty much identical no matter which colour space you export in. (W7 Photo viewer is colour managed, the XP equivalent isn't, Mac s/w generally is. IE and Chrome aren't properly colour managed, Firefox is for all images, Safari is for images with embedded profiles. Other viewers vary.) With colour-managed viewers, the only difference should be with very highly saturated colours outside sRGB colour space (and then only if your monitor can display those colours).
LR is colour managed. If the monitor isn't calibrated/profiled then I think LR assumes the monitor has a colour space equivalent to sRGB (which is generally roughly right but won't be accurate). Internally LR uses ProPhoto RGB colour space in develop module, but uses Adobe RGB in Library, and previews are stored in Adobe RGB. However, the colour space LR uses won't explain why other viewers show things differently. It's simply that LR is colour managed (which means it converts to/from the image colour space), and I guess the other viewers you're using aren't; they just throw RGB data at the screen without converting.
Is it worth calibrating and profiling your monitor? Quite possibly. Does the colour and brightness vary with viewing angle as you move your head from side to side? If so, it may be TN technology, and perhaps not worth profiling. If it looks reasonably stable with different viewing angle then probably yes.

Colors change when exporting to jpg file

I'm a web designer and use Fireworks CS5 extensively. In the last week, I've had 2 artists indicate that an exported jpg image that I created for their websites does not look the same as the original. In one case, aqua colors were darkened to a grey/blue. In another case, the exported image just looks darker than the original. In both cases, I started with a jpg file that the artist sent me.
I've tried eliminating the compression by setting it to 100. I've tried using the export wizard, the regular export function, and the save as function. In the export wizard, I've unchecked the Sharpen Color Edges and Remove Unused Colors checkboxes. The created images all look the same yet different than the originals. As an expeiment, I created new jpg images using Paint Shop Pro and the exported file looks exactly like the original.
Any help would be appreciated.

Along the same lines as Linda's suggestion: Take a look at the color profile of the image sent to you by the artist before you work on it. If it's anything other than sRGB, convert it. If you're on a Mac, you can use the Info panel (Command-I) to quickly check for a color profile on a graphic; otherwise, you can fire up Photoshop and use its Info panel. To convert the color profile within Photoshop, use Edit > Convert to Profile, which will preserve the image appearance but attach a different ICC profile.
Fireworks doesn't acknowledge color profiles (at least FW8 doesn't), so when you open the image in FW, you might see a small color shift. When you save or export the graphic from FW, the ICC profile may be stripped from the file. If it's important that it be preserved, as a final step, you could try re-opening the exported graphic in Photoshop and re-assigning the sRGB profile (using Edit > Assign Profile) before sending it off to your client. Some web browsers do observe color profiles now—Safari and Firefox, for instance. I think it's good to include them for photographs, but they shouldn't really be necessary for web or interface graphics.

excel.ExcelUseConstantColumnWidth = false;
// Use detail section one as a guideline to determine column width

Hi,
thanks for your email.
This is not happening in development environment.It is setting the paper size anf paper orientation properly.
this is happening in the production environment where only redist installation is done.

How to avoid color boost when exporting?

I noticed that the colors of any movie exported from iMovie 08 appear boosted i.e. stronger. No matter what codec I choose under "Share > Export using QuickTime" (Animation, AIC, Photo-JPEG) the colors are never like in the original. Can I export a movie and keep the original colors with this application?

I found out that MJPEG or PhotoJPEG compressed original clips don't get that color treatment.

How to Set Lens Profiles on a tone mapped HDR

I'm trying to work out the optimal workflow for doing HDR (using HDR EFEX 2) on a set of images.
I can apply LR's Lens Correction (Nikon, 17-55mm F2,8) and chromatic aberation removal on the whole set set (using LR Sync) before I export to HDR - then turn off the Chromatic Aberation fix in HDR - and that gives me one workflow.
However, that makes a lot of changes to the TIF's before I go in - so I am wondering if it would be better to export the RAW files converted to TIF using minimal changes from LR e,g, no CA fix or Lens Profile correction; let the HDR do its thing and then make profile corrections, Upright, etc upon return from HDR. However, when I get back from HDR and go into Develop with the returned file and go to Lens Correction, I cannot chose the 17-55mm F2.8 lens from the drop downs. There are only about 4 or 5 lenses now showing as Nikon possibilities-and the 17-55 is NOT among them.
How come I don't still see the full list of Nikon profiles - shoudln't I be able to apply any profile to a TIF (even an incorrect one) ?
I tried pasting the Develop Settings from a virtual copy where I had set the Lens Profile to 17-55 F2.8 - but that only turns on the Lens Profile 'filter' and does not actually force-on the specific correction.
Any thoughts ?
JC

Since lens profiles are format-specific, is that the source of your problem?

Disappearing color profile when saved for the Web

Hello.
I have a problem with the “Save for the Web” results using Photoshop CS6 running on Win 7 x64.
My photos are already in 8 bits and in sRGB and when I save for the Web I check the option “embed color profile”, uncheck “convert to sRGB”, metadata to “copyright and contact info”.
When I open the resulting photos in Photoshop, everything is fine as it recognizes the embedded color profile. Same thing when I open these files in Firefox, Safari or Chrome: the colors are correct.
Now, when I right-click on a file in the Win Explorer and look its properties, the line about the color profile is blank, as if there wasn't any. This doesn't bother me but the problem appears on my Website created with Joomla and using for the display a module, Responsive Image Gallery, which creates resized copies of the photos. At this point the copies have completely lost their color profile. I entered in contact with the module's support and they assured me that it preserves the embedded profile, so I come here to gather some information about how this “Save for the Web” embeds the color profile because may be I just didn't understand how it does and if it's different from the “Save as” way.
The fact I can't see the profile through the Win Explorer makes me think Joomla's module doesn't either.

Incredible how much gballard's site is famous! Lol. I use it for a while now and checked again right now with the three Web browsers and everything is all right.
As indicated in my first post, when saving for the Web I checked the “embed color profile” option. I already resized the file and converted it in sRGB first in Photoshop.
Yes it's pretty confusing to see some software not able to see the color profile when the file is saved with that option.
To illustrate, here are three screenshots from Windows' file browser => right-ckick on the file => properties => details:
Opening that “saved for the Web” file in PS, it's ok, the CP is recognized.
Opening it directly (from the file browser => “open with”) in Web browsers: ok in Firefox, Safari and Chrome (CP recognized in all).
Copying that file in my working site on localhost (no modification), integer it in Joomla's module gallery (which is CP aware) and then opening my site on localhost with Web browsers: ok in Firefox (because it considers a non-tagged file by default as beeing sRGB), NOT OK in Safari neither in Chrome.
Now, if I do the same with the “Save as” version of the file with embedded sRGB CP:
PS: ok
Opened directly in Web browsers: ok in the three cases
Opened in Web browsers through my Joomla site on localhost: OK IN ALL THREE BROWSERS
Good point gator_soup: I'll post a bug report. I'm new here on the forum and thought Adobe's staff would post here.

ACR not saving color profiles when saving out to TIF...

The Players:
ACR 4.6, PS CS3, Mac OS X, MacBook, Nikon D200
The Problem:
ACR does not seem to be saving my color profiles when I work on my Nikon D200 NEF files. After saving them out as TIFs and opening them in Photoshop CS3 - files read as "Untagged RGB" and the colors are definitely way off from what they were saved as in ACR. Frustrating!
The Request:
Thank you for any help - trying to get a job done!
Best,
Paul

Paul,
You need to update your Photoshop to version 10.0.1 ASAP. You're also two versions behind in the OS; 10.5.6 is out.
If you do not know how to trash Photoshop's preferences, check out the FAQs in the Adobe Photoshop Macintosh forum:
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3c057d1b
To trash Bridge prefs, hold down the Option key as you relaunch Bridge, then check the boxes in the ensuing dialog box.

Changing default color scheme when exporting ALV report to Excel spreadshee

Hi all,
We have a bunch of FI reports created using OOPS in abap. Each of the reports has the functionality to be exported to an excel spreadsheet. When exporting to Excel, the headers are a very dark brown color, making them difficult to read and it has been requested that they are shaded a lighter color. I have not defined any sort of color scheme within the report itself, and I was wondering if there was a way to change the color scheme when exporting the report to excel. Let me know if there is anything that can be done, thanks!

How to set the selectedIndex when dataProvider is an XML object in DropDownList?

dataProvider was an XML object
How to set the selectedIndex when dataProvider is an XML object in DropDownList?
I do this:
<s:DropDownList id="dropDownList" requireSelection="true" selectedIndex="2"
                labelField="lastName" dataProvider="{employeeService.lastResult.employees.employee}"/>
But always the first item is selected whatever the value of selectedIndex equals to.

if i understand correctly, you want the selectedindex to be 2 when the DropDownList displays.
It might be the case that the dataprovider is being sought after it's already selected its index (as the dataprovider isn't already determined to begin with), so currently it's
     - setting the selected index to default
     - setting the selected index to 2 (your command)
     - getting the dataprovider
     - setting the selected index to default
try writing a function to set the DropDownList's selected index after it's received the information, or even just attach it to the employeeService result handler.
for quick testing sake you could just add
<s:DropDownList id="dropDownList" requireSelection="true" updateComplete="dropDownList.selectedIndex = 2"
                labelField="lastName" dataProvider="{employeeService.lastResult.employees.employee}"/>
to see if my theory is correct.
