Image Lr3 to CS5 and back looks wrong

I just installed Lr3 (was using 2.7) and CS5 (was using CS3). From Lr I took an image to retouch in CS5 and when it came back to Lr it looked terrible - the exposure had changed at least a stop and I did not do that in PS. What happened? Do I have a setting wrong? I loved how I had Lr2 set up and I have lost it all. In Lr2 the edited image would automaticaalycome back with a T (for tweaked) added to the name and look like it did when it left PS.

I bought Lr3 a long time ago and did not install it (dumb but I had my reasons at the time). I was thinking maybe I should just get Lr4 now but I saw advice to wait because it was slow. I would have to pay for it at this point I'd bet. Do you think I shoulw just get Lr4 so I don't have to go through this grief again soon?
I have imported the image in Lr and have made my adjustments there as always and then taking it into Ps for retouching and when it returns it is fubared.

Color in both Bridge CS5 and ACR look yellow.

The color in my images are all yellow. I've seen some posts but so far no answer to the problem. Can anything at all be done to fix this problem. It it very, very frustrating. Because it's so yellow I cant use ACR for anything at all. Please help
Igor

Ok, for anyone having this problem with both Bridge cs5 and ACR. Here is what solved my problem. All images were looking yellow both in bridge and Camera Raw, so after I did a back up of my harddrive as a System Image all problems were gone! I have no idea what happened, but now the colors are just fine. The problem corrected itself. So, there you have it. Problem fixed.

Image to ascii art and back converters

I've wanted to find a good image to ascii art converter for ages but have never found one that did everything I'd hope. I had another look today and rediscovered aalib and libcaca. I haven't look into the libraries themselves because I don't want to write my own application (yet?).
libcaca's img2txt looked promising at first but it seems to be limited to the basic 16 color terminal palette even in urxvt-256-unicode. Is there some setting that determines this? I would really like to try to watch videos in mplayer using 256 colors or more. I've tried using the different driver env variables but they all seem to use 16 colors. It even uses 16 colors when generating TGA image files.
I also discovered jp2a which is great so far. It's slightly annoying that it's limited to jpg (wtf would anyone choose jpg as your input format for a conversion utility?) but imagemagick's "convert" and some piping do the trick. Again it seems that jp2a only uses the basic 16 bit color palette when printing to the terminal, but it has a full palette when generating html. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be able to generate image files, only direct console ascii and HTML.
For now I have added jp2a to tiv as an optdep. It uses the full terminal color palette and can even adapt the palette per image to make the most of it. I get some nice ascii output now with "tiv -r 0.6 -a -j /path/to/img". But that as well lacks the ability to convert back to an image format.
Is there nothing that can convert image files to (full-palette, i.e. >= 256) colored ascii art and then convert the output to its own image? I would really like a way to do batch conversions (e.g. to convert films, if no mplayer codec can do it).
In particular, does anyone have any simple ideas for converting an HTML-encoded ascii image to a real image file? I expect that it would be relatively simple to use webkit to create a simple utility for this, but I doubt that it would be easy to do quickly without any experience of webkit.
*sigh*

CS4 to CS5 and back

Does anyone know if you can edit a Photoshop CS4 document in CS5, then edit it again in CS4?

Directed to J-Spencer: Just let me add that such features aren't things that people use every day much, so you'll almost never see such an incompatibility in actual use.
-Noel

I sent a JPG with colorspace AdobeRGB1998 to myself via an email and it came back looking the same!

What happened? I was taught that the internet uses sRGB and so my returned JPG should have had the muted colors, same as Assigning a JPG to sRGB has. What am i missing?

Color-management is all about getting the most accurate view of the colors that you can so that you're viewing them as intended.
In an ideal world with ideal computers, every image would contain all the information needed to fully describe the colors in it, and every system would display those colors accurately in every application.
We're still kind of a long way off from that utopia, though every day things get a little better.
There are two schools of thought:
1. Casual users can be perfectly happy when red things look red and blue things look blue, but the colors may not be accurate at a subtle level. In this case, it can be possible to get many applications to match one another in the appearance of the images displayed on the same system, so things seem more consistent.
2. Professional or picky users may prefer to take the time to fully understand color-management, and calibrate and profile their systems, so that they can be sure what they're seeing is more accurate.
In practical terms, it can actually seem counter-intuitive to the first group that after having spent money on devices to calibrate and profile a system, that Photoshop now displays things differently than other applications, which may display things differently than one another.
Here are two possible scenarios, to illustrate this further:
1. A typical user has a monitor with a more or less standard color gamut and not hugely different from sRGB. So if this user both edits images in the sRGB profile, and has the sRGB profile associated with (and thus describing the characteristics of) the monitor, which is the Windows default, the following plays out... When the user displays an sRGB image:
A color transform by Photoshop from the image color space to the monitor color space does nothing (as both are identical), and the R,G,B pixel values from the image are sent to the monitor as is. The monitor does a passable, though possibly inaccurate, job of displaying the image.
Internet Explorer 9, which always does transforms from image color space to sRGB (regardless of monitor profile), also does nothing, so the image looks the same as in Photoshop.
A non-color-managed application (e.g., IrfanView with Color Management turned off for speed) does no color management transforms by definition, so R,G,B values are just sent to the monitor and the image looks the same as above. Earlier versions of IE and other earlier browsers do no color management and fall into this category as well.
An application that's supposed to be fully color-managed, but which has bugs (e.g., some versions of Firefox) or may not understand all variants of color profiles, very likely DOES work properly with the sRGB profile, since it's the default on Windows and is well formed, and thus displays an sRGB image with no transform, and it looks the same as in all the above cases.
An image expressed in a color space OTHER THAN sRGB will be inaccurately displayed by a non-color-managed application, but the color will only be as inaccurate as in all the above cases (because the monitor does not perfectly display sRGB) in properly functioning color-managed applications.
See the pattern in the above? Consistency.
2. Users seeking the most accurate possible color in their color-managed applications might choose high-end wide-gamut monitors (though even cheap monitors nowadays are starting to have wide gamuts), and might also purchase devices for calibrating and profiling their display(s) and printer(s). What they then experience is this:
Photoshop and other fully color-managed applications will display their images, regardless of color space, accurately. A particular tone of red will be just that tone, and this will be true no matter what color space the image uses.
Internet Explorer 9 will transform images from whatever color space to sRGB, so it will ALWAYS be inaccurate. How inaccurate depends on how different the actual monitor characteristics are from sRGB.
Non-color-managed applications will just display images without transform, so they'll be inaccurate depending on how different the image color profile is from the monitor's characteristics. Images could end up looking oversaturated on a wide-gamut monitor.
The color profile produced by the profiling software may not be perfectly well understood by all color-managed applications, leading to very strange displays.
Folks in this category understand when to expect differences, and are ready to work out problems so that they get accurate color from the applications they expect to be fully color-managed. They may avoid Internet Explorer and use Firefox or Safari instead so that they see accurate color from their browsers as well. Given all this, in the applications (like Photoshop) that matter to them, they can make use of the entire color gamut of their monitors and printers, and can convert to sRGB for web publishing as needed.
There is no easy answer as to which group is "better" to be in. It depends on your needs and expectations, and it's actually even possible to try to straddle the fence some, with a compromise between the above extremes.
I realize this may have raised more questions than it answered, but that is the nature of color-management. I encourage you to read all you can until it finally starts to click. Then you can make intelligent choices about which paths to take.

Exposure problem with Lightroom 4 CS5 and Raw 6.7

Hi all
I have recently upgraded from Lightroom 3.6 to the new Lightroom 4 and am genrally pretty happy with it, I tend to use it along with photoshop CS5 extended and also imagenomic Portraiture, but I have found an annoying little problem in doing this and something that I never suffered with when using Lightroom 3.6 and it is this...
when I take an image from Lightroom 4 and click Edit image in Photoshop CS5 and then use Imageonmic to soften skin etc all seems to work well I then carry out any touching up within Photoshop and once finished save it back to lightroom for any final tweaks etc which is fine and all works smoothly, except once I have saved it back to Lightroom the exposure has been pushed up about 3-4 stops at least , meaning I then have to pull it down again and this can sometimes result in extra editing I could do with out. now I know its not the end of the world and is probably just a bug that I'm hoping will be sorted within Lightroom 4 but I just wondered if anyone else has had a similar problem, is it a bug or am I doing something wrong? (although I'm doing the same with Lighroom 4 as i used to do with LIghtroom 3.6 and that worked fine)
Oh one more thing I should mention to get lightroom 4 and CS5 to work properly together I had to go into the Adobe Labs site and download the Camera RAW 6.7 software for CS5 so it could also be a bug here i guess.

There have been several posts over on the Lightroom forum, and other non-Adobe forums also, about this issue: it seems that there's a bug in ACR 6.7RC which causes the image to be over-expose, compared with the setting applied using PV2012 in LR. I guess this is the kind of thing a Release Candidate is supposed to flag up! I was all set to upgrade my own ACR to ensure that PS would recognise my LR4 edits (I normally avoid RC versions and wait for the final), but all the reports of this problem have stopped me from doing so.
In the meantime, best option so far as I'm aware is to process the image in LR (you get the option when you choose to edit in PS), meaning that it does all the rendering before passing it over to PS (otherwise, ACR handles the conversion of the raw file into TIFF). This does however mean that smart-objects and so on are temporarily out of the equation.
I'm sure this will all be resolved pretty soon.
Edit: in fact, one of the posts I mentioned is about ten posts down in this very forum: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/974963?tstart=0

Can't open .CR2 files off of a Canon PowerShot S95 (LR3/PS cs5)

I just bought the new Canon S95. I download pics off of a reader and usually go directly through LR. This time, LR would only download the few Jpgs I had on the SD card and showed me "The files are from a camera which is not recognized by the raw format support in Lightroom."
It does however show a Canon S95 as part of the info when viewing the jpegs in the library module.
I copied the files from the SD card to my hard drive via copy and tried to open the files in Photoshop and got the following error. "Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw. Please visit the Camera Raw help documentation for additional information."
I am running a MacPro with 8 G of ram and the current versions of LR3, Photoshop CS5 and Camera Raw. I can see the thumbs of these raw files in finder where I placed the copies. I have downloaded many .CR2 files from a Canon S40, S70, 20D, etc. I'm lost.
Thanks to all.
Peace

try using Adobe DNG converter to convert them to a supported format…
That's silly. The Adobe DNG Converter and ACR are always released in tandem and the same camera models are supported in each respective version.
If that camera is not yet supported in any version of ACR, it wll not be supported in any version of the DNG Converter either.

Problem with Bridge CS5 and Tools Photoshop Batch

When I select several images in Bridge CS5 and go to Tool>Photoshop>Batch and try an run an Action, I receive an error message asking for the Install disk. Bridge at that point freezes until I put in the install disk and then it runs the batch action fine.
This is very annoying as I always have to have the disk in my DVD Drive.
Any points would be welcomed.
Thanks,

Go to preferences/startup scripts and make sure there is a check mark for Bridge and Photoshop scripts.

You need to download and install Camera Raw 6.7.1 for CS5. Once you have downloaded it, you need to install it while CS5 is closed.
Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Camera Raw 6.7.1 Update
Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh : Camera Raw 6.7.1 Update
Once downloaded, unzip/unpack the file, and run the executable to start the update, following the instructions.

I have Photoshop CS5 and my image processor and batch tool are gone. How do I get them back?
I went into edit preference and all the start up scrips are selected so what else is there?

When you installed CS5, you have a chance to register it. If you do, your serial number is on file under your Adobe (My Products). If you did not, you have no serial number on file and even worse, no proof you own it.
You do not have your serial number copied down anywhere? Hard to believe you tossed the dvd box and all the documents away.
So Help > Register might give you a chance to do this without you knowing the number.
If not, you may want to consider the Photography Plan. Creative Cloud Photography plan | Adobe Creative Cloud

Graphics and images look wrong in Safari 4.0.3

Hello
Since upgrading to Safari 4.0.3 graphics and images in websites look low quality. As if they are being rendered with 256 colours or they are heavily compressed. The strange thing is that about a week ago the problem disappeared and everything looked sharp and great, I ran the new version of Cocktail last night and now the problem is back! Could be a coincidence but either way I can't fix it.
Any advice would be appreciated
Andy

Greetings,
Caches cannot be emptied automatically, nor can Web Page Previews, which is used for the Top Sites and Cover Flow features in Safari. You can empty those folders, but Web Page Previews will simply be refreshed with new images as you browse.
If you don't want to use the Top Sites or Cover Flow features in Safari 4.0.3, you can disable it completely, and then you could empty those folders (com.apple.Safari and Web Page Previews) and then Lock the folders so any cache files from browsing would be deleted when you quit Safari.

How do I save image and text as a single image in InDesign CS5.0?

How do I save an image and text as one image in InDesign CS5.0? NOT 5.5.
I need to save the image as a 72-dpi, jpg file for ePub purposes. I designed a book and am handing it off to someone for ePub.
This is what I've tried:
1) Copied from InDesign, pasted into a PhotoShop doc as a Smart Object. Saved it as 72 dpi jpg, then imported back into ID.
2) Took a screenshot of ID page, placed it in PS, saved as 72 dpi, imported into ID
3) Saved page as a PDF from InDesign, then saved PDF as 72 dpi jpg, then imported into ID.
4) Save page as a PDF from InDesign, placed into Photoshop and saved
as 72 dpi, then imported into ID.
5) Saved as an EPS from InDesign, placed in PS, then imported back to ID.
In all cases, the type looks terrible. It doesn't seem to matter whether I copy or place into Photoshop, though placing is slightly better.
HELP!!!

In all cases, the type looks terrible. It doesn't seem to matter whether I copy or place into Photoshop, though placing is slightly better.
Naturally what you did will result in rasterized text. Did you preview with high quality settings?
Are you sure the people who will handle that downstream need pixel images and do you have the exact pixel dimensions needed?
Why did you place the image back in Indesign, by the way?

Obvious diff color b/w CS5 and LR3

i have a puzzling problem with CS5 and LR3
I use LR3.6 and CS5 on an imac running 10.7.2.
I discovered an old "hand tinted" b&w photo from the early 1950's. I thought that i might improve it in CS5. I began the process but had to stop before finishing. I deceided to save it in LR3 as a .psd and as a jpg, to leave more flexibility when i got back to editing later. I noticed a problem:
Tho not finished editing, i noted a remarkable difference in the tone of the photos as shown.
I thought that the problem was related to the original being a b&w photo but have discounted this. Monitor is calibrated. both are in prophoto rgb. any ideas.
THIS IMAGE IS AFTER IMPORT TO LR3.LR3. NO preset was applied
THE IMAGE BELOW IS BEFORE IT WAS IMPORTED TO LR3
any help, suggestions??? thanks, vince

Thanks for your reply. I am sorry i was not clear.
The original image was an old LR1 import from back when...
I noticed the old image recently and sent it from LR3.6 to CS5 where i began editing. I was interrupted and, in a hurry, i SAVED the image, with my editing, to LR3.6. The image retrieved from LR3.6 is the image at the top of the post
As i mentioned , the original photo was a poor scan of a poor hand-tinting job of a b&w photo. It had been stored in LR across LR revisions and i assume it is in "melissargb". In CS5 prophoto rgb is my default space.
The pinkish image HAS NOT BEEN IMPORTED IN TO LIGHTROOM AT ALL.WHEN I STOPPED EDITING IN CS5, I SAVED IT INTO LR3.6 and got the top image in my post. I did, however, also save the image to the desktop directly from CS5 and that is why i still have the the pinkish image unchanged by LR3.6
I realize my description has been clumsy and confusing. Perhaps i have explained it better
thank you again. it seemed so clear at my original post.

How do images edited in CS5 not return to LR3?

I have just upgrade to CS5 and then downloaded LR3 trial version as I am waiting for the software to arrive.
I was editing a shot in LR3, then decided to edit in CS5 for content aware fill to remove some wires that I could not work around. After completing the edit in CS5, it asked me to save the images and I said yes. After that, it did not return the file to LR3. After doing several other edits, I finally did a search on my system to find the images that I edited in CS5.
To my surprise, they were in different directories on my system!
Is there something that we now have to specify to get them to return to LR? I would like to keep the images all in one collection since this is what I have done in the past.
It also did not ask me when going to CS5 if I wanted to use the edited version like it did in V1 & 2. Has anyone else had this happen?
Thanks,
David

Did you have any filters set in LR to exclude any other images? ... there seems to be a bug in PS returning images with ratings, color labels and filters ... or any of the above. Try removing the filters to see if your edited image is there.
The team is looking into the issue.
