Images appear with less saturation in PS CS4 than Lightroom, etc.

Images processed in Lightroom 2, LR Beta 3 and Capture One 5 opened in PS CS4 show less saturation and appear a bit flatter (could be just the lower saturation) than they do when displayed in the application that processed the raw files. Tifs and Jpegs appear the same in both LR and PS.  I am using OS 10.5.8 and the current versions of the other three apps. Prophoto is selected as the working space for all the applications. Shouldn't the images displayed in LR look the same as they do in PS?  I am missing something?
Thanks

No, that option is not selected, though If I do boost the saturation  by 10% with an adjustment layer it comes close to matching.  Perhaps the question is better but as why does LR (and Capture One) output a files that doesn't match the preview?  Is it the raw conversion itself, or how PS displays something?

  • Images Appear Different When Viewed in Photoshop CS4 vs. LR 2.7

    Hello, I hope someone on this forum can help.
    I have a series of high quality images that are catalogued using Lightroom 2.7.  Many were edited using Photoshop while others were edited in the "Develop" module of Lightroom.  All of the images look exceptional in both Lightroom and Brdige.  However, when I open some of the images in PS, either directly from Bridge or by using the "Edit in" command from Lightroom, they appear washed out and dull -- very different and much worse.  I always use the setting, "Edit a Copy with Lightroom Adjustments."  The problem pertains to all images regardless of file format (JPEG, DNG, NEF, etc.) and regardless of whether they are opened from LR, Bridge or directly from the image using the "Open with" command in Windows.
    This happens on two completely different set of monitors.  At work I have a Dell 2208 WFPt UltraSharp monitor, and at home a dual monitor setup with an Asus VE278Q and an LG flat screen (all are flat screen, high quality monitors).  I have a Lenovo X201s with 8gb of RAM and a high-speed i7 processor running Windows 7, 64-bit.  All of my Adobe products are up-to-date.  Windows Color Management shows all displays as "Generic PnP Monitor - Intel HD Graphics," and the Advanced mode of Intel's HD Graphics correctly identifies each monitor being used.  The problem is identical regardless of which monitor is being used and it does not seem to make any difference as to which color profile is associated with the monitor (I have two profiles added -- Adobe RGB (1998) (the default) and sRGB IEC61966-2.1).
    Specifically, if I double-click on a particular TIF image in Bridge (where the preview looks great), it then triggers Camera Raw 5.7 - TIF, where again the image looks terrific.  The settings applied by Camera Raw are "ProPhotoRGB; 16 bit; 3607 by 2420 (8.7MP); 300 ppi" (although changing these settings makes no difference whatever when the image is subsequently opened in Photoshop).  When the image is opened in Photoshop it looks terrible -- dull and washed out.  I encounter the exact same problem when using my dual monitor setup at home, so I don't think monitor calibrations are the cause.
    Strangely, I don't think this problem existed a couple of months ago.  I've been busy on a project and haven't used Photoshop since the end of this past July (of 2011).  As I recall, this problem did not exist then, so I'm wondering if a setting in Photoshop inadvertently got altered since then.
    I have the following key settings in Photoshop's "Color Settings":
    Working Spaces: RGB -- ProPhoto RGB
    Color Management Policies -- Preserve Embedded Profiles
    Conversion Options -- Adobe (ACE)
    I have the following key settings in Lightroom's "Preferences / External Editing":
    Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS4
    File Format -- PSD; Color Space ProPhoto RGB, 16-bits, 300 dpi
    File Format -- TIFF; Color Space ProPhoto RGB, 16-bits, 300 dpi
    I have tried and tried to figure this out, to no avail.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks, I think you're right.
    Any suggestions for a cheap and easy way to calibrate my monitors?

  • No images appear with Windows 7 x64 Professional with IE9 any solution?

    Embedded Flash Player images only appear as brief flashes when using IE9 running under Windows 7 x64 Professional and Flash Player version 13.  Flash Player has full permission to present these images but I only get these brief flashes of individual frames.  Seems to be true of any web-based software than embeds such Flash Player images.

    I assume both these programs are still 32 bit?
    Yes - but that doesn't have anything at all to do with it. If you don't have it working in Soundbooth correctly either, then I'm afraid that you have the same problem as others have related with W7 - it really doesn't work in the way you want it to with some internal sound hardware. So for a lot of people, pretty much useless, unless you use an adequately suoported external audio device. As far as any of us can tell, this has something to do with M$ paranoia about copyright, or some other such nonsense - I have to say that the real reason for all this trouble some people are having is less than clear, but it's certainly not Audition's fault - the software can only deal with what the sound device is prepared to hand over, or accept back.
    I think that what it might be related to is an attempt to stop you playing streaming material from one site, and recording it directly onto other software via 'what you hear' inputs - which works excellently with AA1.5 and XP, and is something I do quite legitimately from time to time (think Skype...)
    You could try asking Realtek what's going on, I suppose - that might be interesting. If you get any sort of intelligent reply, please report back!

  • Slides appearing with different saturation at publish

    I have added some new slides to a project with the same resolution etc. as the former slides. When I view the slides in Captivate they look correct and have the same saturation as the others. However, when I publish the project the new slides appear desaturated/lower bits than the others.
    I have 8bit for all slides.

    Perhaps this information can help you: you can override the slide quality when publishing and choose 24-bit at that moment in the Publish preferences:

  • Image problems with my 6D...diagonal line

    Hello, my name is Lindy and I'm new to this forum. I've been having a problem with my Canon 6D which results in some of my images appearing with a dark diagonal line across the upper left hand corner. I've seen this problem with both my 100mm L lens and my 16-35mm lens. Has anyone had this problem before or have any idea of what may be wrong?
    Thanks!!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi Lindy.  You've got a bit of "dust" on your sensor (only in your case it looks like a tiny hair).  
    It's easily fixed.
    See page 279 of your owner's manual which describges how to clean the sensor.  
    I do, however, recommend that before doing an automatic cleaning cycle, you remove the lens and point it at the ground -- that way this little hair has someplace to go when it falls... other than finding itself another location inside your camera.
    After cleaning, poing the camera a plain white wall (or ceiling) and snap a photo (it doesn't even have to be in focus).  The dust shows up better at high f-stops (it'll be fuzzier at low f-stops).
    Sometimes automatic cleaning is not enough and you have to do something further.  If that's the case, then see page 283 for "manual sensor cleaning".  This simply causes the camera to power down the sensor, but open the shutter (and hold it open) so that you can inspect and clean it.  If you look inside, what you're REALLY seeing are the two filters in front of the sensor.  The front filter is the one that vibrates (using a piezoelectric effect) to "shake" dust loose.  
    I use a variety of techniques... the simplest and safest is to use a simple hand-squeeze (bulb) blower such as a Giottos Rocket Blower.  I recommend you not use cans of compressed air because the liquid propellant in the cans can spray out if the can is either shaken or not held perfectly level and that leaves a residue on the filter (and the only way to get that off is to wet-clean the filter).  Even air-compressors spray water and oil.  A hand-squeezed blower is the safest option.
    If that doesn't work, I use an extremely soft small paintbrush.  They actually do make brushes that plug in to release any static charge so that if something is sticking because of static cling it will hopefully release.
    If that doesn't work, I use a sensor scope to inspect my sensor and get a better understanding of why it still wont come free (because generally it would have by now) and then wet-clean the sensor using Photographic Solutions brand "Sensor Swabs" and "Eclipse" cleaning solution.  The solution is nearly pure methenol which means it evaporates very quickly and leaves no residue behind.
    My guess is a simple manual cleaning (with camera pointing at the ground) -or- a hand-squeezed blower will likely do the trick.  If you do resort to a brush, give that brush a couple of good solid whacks on the edge of a desk or table to throw off any dust that could be on the brush -- as you don't want to add dust on to the sensor as you are trying to brush that hair away.
    Most "real" camera stores (stores in business primarily to sell and service camera gear -- not big box stores that also happen to sell cameras) offer sensor cleaning, but usually there's a charge associated with that.  It's fairly easy to learn to clean the sensor (which is why Canon has a section in the owner's manual) and it's something photographers have to do.... just occasionally.

    Hi I have been having a problem with Bridge in CS4 recently. So uninstalled CS4 and Lightroom 4.4 and reinstalled them on my Desktop PC. When I turned on Bridge through CS4, My thumb nail images disappeared and a thumb nail icon with CR2 appeared. Now some of my images have disappeared from Light room 4.4, but I can find them in CS4 and Bridge now shows some thumb nails as images and some as an icon with CR2. I have spent two weeks going through preferences etc. to find how to resolve my problem. Please can you Help? Meany thanks in advance
      Derek Randall

    I don't use LR and rarely use the bridge so I can not answers about thumbnails in them,  However thumbnails in windows file explorer and windows dialog for CS2 files will only show if you have installed codec into windows that will produce them. Windows does not do CR2 thumbnails on its own. I use FastPictureViewer Codec package for RAW File and PSD files thunbmail support.

  • I still use Aperture 2.1.4.  I need to export an image file with a CMYK profile.  Whereas a generic CMYK profile is listed in ColorSync Utility, it does not appear on the list of profiles in the edit portion of the export preset dialogue.  Help?

    I still use Aperture 2.1.4.  I need to export an image file with a CMYK profile.  Whereas a generic CMYK profile is listed in ColorSync Utility, it does not appear on the list of profiles in the edit portion of the export preset dialogue.  Help?  Is there some way to add the CMYK profile to the list of choices that are available in the export preset dialogue such that I can choose it?

    leonieDF
    Thanks for your response.  My profiles are located within color sync utility as you can see here:   
    These profiles do not respond to clicking and dragging.  Since they are all in one place, more or less, I'm reluctant to make further attempts to relocate them.  Accessing the CMYK profile is the first difficult experience I've encountered with this arrangement.  I have never needed the CMYK profile until recently, and that need has now past.  However, it remains a mystery to me as to why it does not appear with all the others on the menu of export choices in Aperture 2, or on the menu of profile assignment choices in the Preview application (where again all the other profiles are listed as choices).  I'm beginning to think my current set up will permit me to view an image that was created in CMYK space, but does not easily assign, or convert to that space.  I don't face these restrictions with all the others, so it remains a curious circumstance for me.  I anticipate upgrading my computer and software in the near future which might alleviate this issue altogether.  Again, many thanks for your attention to this matter.  The reach of this community is astounding.

  • Images look less saturated in Photoshop CC 2014

    I import my RAW images into Lightroom 5 and make some basic adjustments.  Then I edit the image in Photoshop with the Lightroom adjustments.  I clean up the images and crop to the size I like and then I use the Perfect Effects 9 plugin to do some more edits.  I finish my edits in Perfect Effects 9 and save them which brings me back into Photoshop CC as a new layer.  In Photoshop the image looks less saturated than it did in Perfect Effects 9.  I then save the Photoshop file and exit.  When I look at the PSD file in Lightroom 5 browse window, it looks the same as it does in Perfect Effects 9.  Why does it look less saturated in Photoshop CC 2014?
    Here are my colour settings:
    Lightroom 5:
    External Editing:
         Edit in Adobe Photoshop CC 2014:
         File Format = TIFF
         Color Space = AdobeRGB(1998)
         Bit Depth = 16
         Resolution = 240
         Compression = zip
    Additional External Editor:
        Preset = Perfect Effects 9 Suite
        File Format = PSD
        Color Space = AdobeRGB(1998)
        Bit Depth = 16
        Resolution = 300
    Perfect Effects 9:
    General:
         Working Color Space = sRGB IEC61966-2.1    
    Files:
         Copy Options:
         File Format = PSD
         Color Space = sRGB IEC61966-2.1
    Plug-ins:
         Lightroom:
         File Type = PSD
         Color Space = Adobe RGB 1998
    Photoshop CC 2014:
        Color Settings:  Custom
        Working Spaces:
        RGB = sRGB IEC61966-2.1
        CMYK = U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2
        Gray = Dot Gain 20%
        Spot = Dot Gain 20%
    What color settings do I need to use so that the images have the same saturation look in all three programs? How do you know which image in which program is showing as the correct saturation?

    No, just keep it at sRGB. As long as you have the "preserve" policy, the working space actually isn't all that important. The embedded document profile will always override it (as it should).
    I had to read this a couple of times to follow the trail properly. Leaving Perfect Effects (which I don't know at all) out of it - does the very same file iteration, with the same edits, look different between Photoshop and Lightroom? Did I get that right?
    In that case you have a bad monitor profile. This can sometimes throw off one application but not the other. Recalibrate, or if you don't have a calibrator go into Windows color management and set sRGB IEC61966-2.1 as default display profile. When done relaunch all applications so that they can pick up the new profile at startup.

  • HDR Pro on CS 5 - Merged image appears but bottom with save buttons cut off??

    When I select photos to merge, either via Bridge or within CS5 (Automate/Merge to HDR Pro), the Merged image appears over the CS5 screen.  However, the bottom of the HDR screen with the photos selected for the merge along with the Cancel & Save buttons are cut off.  The only way for me to exit HDR is to force quit.
    My monitor resolution is 1440X900 which is better than the 1024x768 required for CS5.
    I noticed the same problem in Terry White's video on Youtube describing workflow between Lightroom & CS5 HDR Pro (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rab25UTe6HY) as well as a couple of other users mentioning the problem to Zeno Bokor of Adobe (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshop/cs/using/WSfd1234e1c4b69f30ea53e41001031ab64-78e5a.h tml).
    Does anyone have a solution???
    Thanks.

    I found the soluion - after spending over an hour with Adobe phone support (800-833-6687) - of which 45min was being on hold.
    It turns out that for some computers, Photoshop CS5 doesn't automatically work as efficiently as it could with the monitor resolution, even if the resolution is > than the minimum 1024 X 768.  This is more frequent in those that have had older versions of Photoshop in them. This causes part of the screen to be cut off when going into HDR Pro.
    One has to "prime" CS5 to recognize one's computer monitor settings.  How to do:
    Close out of PS CS5
    Go to system preferences and select hardware settings/display (For PC would have to go through Control Panel/Hardware/Display)
    Change monitor setting to one recommended by Adobe: 1024 X 768 or 1280 X 800
    Save changes.  Monitor will look less clear if you have been using higher settings...it's ok for now.
    Now open CS5 again and access HDR Pro all three ways available, i.e. via Bridge, Mini Bridge and through PS under File/Automate. 
    Verify that the entire screen is visible including all thumbnails and Save/Close buttons.
    Close out of CS5.
    Go back to System Preferences ( for PC, go through Control Panel) and change back to your preferred resolution.
    Voila! When you open CS5 again you should be able to see the entire screen.
    For example, I use a Macbook Pro with OS 10.6.7 and the monitor resolution  was set to 1440 X 900.  However, I still couldn't see the bottom of the  screen with the Save/Close buttons so couldn't save any work (had to  force quit or escape to exit HDR).  After doing the above steps, I am now able to use HDR Pro w/o problem and access the Merge via all three modes.
    Via  Mini Bridge - Choose photos to merge--> Tools (above photos, last on right in Content bar) --> Photoshop --> Merge to HDR Pro
    Via Bridge - Choose photos to merge--> Tools (Tool Bar beside "Adobe CS5 Bridge" at left top of screen; 3rd from end) --> Photoshop --> Merge to HDR
    Via inside Photoshop - File --> Automate -->  Merge to HDR
    Since this seems to have affected several people and is a simple solution, I have asked the supervisor I spoke to, Laurie, to please have someone in Adobe post this solution.
    Hope this helped.

  • Trying to create Mouse over effect with more than one show image appearing in same cell

    Firstly this is the link to my test page: http://www.design39.co.uk/indexhope.html
    If you roll your cursor over the top left logo (the D&S) one it displays an image to the left. If you roll your cursor onto the next logo (Netnotts) it fades away again. Great. Exactly what I wanted and created in CSS (well done me as I don't normally do much with CSS but the new CS4 has very forced it).
    What I am trying to create is: When you roll onto the Netnotts logo, not only does the original image to the left disappear but a new relative one appears, this is to be for all the logos. In CSS I can only create it as far as I can. I have thought about using AP DIV tags to do it which would obviously work but to keep it in the right place, I would then have to align my whole website to the left instead of centered like it is and to be fair, that's not particularly pleasing to the eye as this is my own portfolio of work.
    I can do flash  to make 'pretty things' but have no idea about actionscript and java is way over my head but I am sure with some help I would be able to get it together as the that particular effect, although done in CSS, is running javascript I noticed.
    Many thanks in advance.

    A relative positioned layer? does this mean it knows how far to be away from the table as a pose to an absolute positioned layer which is lay 15px from the left? I need to be able to keep the positioning as its key, cant have the layer popping up in different places pending on the users browser size.
    I posted the question on a few forums and I got the following back: http://www.design39.co.uk/bla.html
    which is exactly what i wanted it to do but have no idea how to insert java script into my page; Further more, that was done in layers not table cells.
    Any ideas?

    I need some help resizing my images on PS6. I am using a mac and have been trying to resize with same resolution and constaining proportions but for some reaseon the smaller resized image appears pizelated. Heres an image of before and after. The first image I use is a JPG 72dpi 1500px x1500px and I want to downsize it to 600x600px same res, but it keeps pixelating, this has never happened before. Any suggestions, thoughts?
    thanks!

    I wouldn't say pixelated; more like blurry.
    Like ConnectedCreative said, what steps are you using? Are you using "bicubic sharper" when resizing down?

    Hi Russ, Thank you for your reply!
    System Spec:
    2x2.26 Ghz QUAD-CORE
    12 GB RAM 1066 MHz DDR3
    I've stored the library in HARD DISK which is installed inside my computer (1 TB capacity) and different from my hard disk in which I've installed all my applications (600 GB capacity).
    I've installed FCP since 2001, bought FCP X in 2012: never had a problem. Yesterday I was editing my video of my last vacations (in California!) and I have updated FCP X, downloading FCP X 10.1.1: then the problem!
    Strange is the fact that I've just tried to export a short project, I can see the final product quite well.
    What is impossible is playing the clips within Final Cut: they are jumpimg, moving, presenting some frame in green or red ...
    Everything all right in iMovie.
    I've just checked the RAM: 9GB out of 12 GB is busy, could this be the problem?
    Motion is very slow: for 20 sec of project, it takes minutes to play. And once again, if you finalize the projet and export it in Quicktime, you can see it correctly.
    I do hope you may suggest something, I'm getting crazy!

  • Images saved in Photoshop appear with distortion horizontally across - like a faint line

    Images saved in Photoshop appear with distortion horizontally across - like a faint line.
    It happens in all formates I try such as JPEG, TIFF, PDF and PSD files.
    It looks like broken pixel lines across and if it runs through a word or logo can break it up.
    Please help???

    I know you cant see probably from the photo below as I had to try to block out the faces, but the person on the far right, under her eyes you can see almost a double eye and then if you follw that line across the 2nd person from left look like funny chin.
    This distortion happens horizontally.
    Also see the letter number below. That break line runs across the entire page but is obviously more noticable in different areas of the image.

Maybe you are looking for
