Lightroom 5 Colour Sliders

I have Lightroom 5 & cannot get the actual colours on my tint & temperature sliders... how can I get them?
Each time I use the brush I'm basically guessing colours... have I not set something up properly????

Tony,
My apology, I just read the message at the foot of the previous e-mail regarding e-mail attachments. I can confirm that all of my sliders in each module are in fact white, as you suggested regarding Lightroom 4.
Thanks.

Tony,
Thanks for the prompt response... I agree that the functionality works anyway, however it would be nice to have the option of looking directly at the colours, especially given that this is a standard function.
I have attached a picture of the sliders in a module.
Thanks.

The actual problem of the sliders not showing their colours is alittle puzzling but the actual operation of the sliders should not be a guess since the whole thing is a "season to taste" adjustment anyway.
There was an issue in Lightroom 4 with sliders going white, associated with Mavericks OSX, but I am not aware of any issues such as you describe in Lightroom 5.

  • Lightroom 3 sliders lose color shading after upgrade to Mavericks...any help?

    Just recently upgraded to Mavericks OS on Mac, but now finding that the coloring of the sliders (for example in the Hue, Saturation, Luminance module) is gone.  This is really annoying as I cannot see what the color will look like unless I actually move the sliders.  Does anyone know how to fix this?
    Thanks

    Only solution Adobe currently offer is to upgrade the LR5.2 where it is fixed (but not in earlier versions).

  • Photoshop to Lightroom Colour Shift

    Hi all,
    I've recently upgraded from CS5 to CC after purchasing a Nikon D7100 over christmas and thus needing the latest versions fro RAW support (Nikon NEF).
    My problem is I am experiencing colour shift between Photoshop and Lightroom after upgrading. I have set Lightroom to use 16-bit ProPhoto RGB images when editing in Photoshop.  My computer is a Late 2012 MacMini with an Apple Thunderbolt Display.
    I originally posted this in the Photoshop forum and have moved it over here after being recommended to do so.
    The image below shows the problem, where the colour is correct in Photoshop, but not in Lightroom.
    In the other thread we went through the motions and eliminated:
    D7100 Camera Raw Profile
    Lens profile
    Screen calibration and profile
    It seems most likely at this point that Lightroom is applying some kind of alterations to the image settings. If I Right Click a problem image in lightroom and say "edit in photoshop with lightroom adjustments" that colours appear incorrect in photoshop, too.
    Can anyone make any suggestions here?  I can't seem to get anything I shot last weekend out of lightroom with the correct colours!
    Thanks,
    Dan.

    A “raw” HDR image has darks that are too dark to see detail in and lights that are too bright to see any detail in.  The process of “tone mapping” is what scrunches all the floating point values into the normal range of black to white.  Once an image is tone mapped its pixel values all fall into the range of zero to whatever the maximum value is for white in a 16-bit or 8-bit format and it can be saved as such.  The 32-bit floating point image is supposed to be temporary on the way to an 8- or 16-bit image.  Personally I save the original 32-bit image in a separate file from the tone-mapped 16- or 8-bit image so I can always go back and revisit the tone mapping operation.
    LR supports 32-bit images otherwise you would see nothing.  Here is a discussion about why things look different that includes Eric Chan, an Adobe Raw Engineer, to someone bringing up a similar concern a little over a year ago:
    ttp://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/lightroom_preview_of_hdr_tonemapped_i mage_doesnt_match_what_is_shown_in_photoshop_acr
    It used to be that Photoshop was the only Adobe product that could open 32-bit files and tone-map them to 16- or 8-bits and I would argue that it did an unsatisfying job.  Eventually this capability was added to LR and the ACR plug-in for Photoshop which does a better job, but being raw converters, the starting point looks brighter on screen.
    Photomatix is a payfor product that also does a good job with both merging and tone-mapping to 16- or 8-bits.  It comes with both a standalone and a plug-in interface.  There are others, but Photomatix is the one I’ve tried in the past.

  • Lightroom to Photoshop to Lightroom colour change

    Hi,
    Anyone have an answer for this? I have a Canon 5d. Raw file in Lightroom. I adjust it in lightroom then select edit it in Photoshop but leave it unchanged. It becomes a .psd which is saved and then viewed back in lightroom. The colours have now changed. The greens for one are less saturated. The whole picture is less 'vivid'. The monitor is calibrated. Photoshop is editing in ProPhoto. yet the Raw and the .psd copy in Lightroom are different colour shades.??
    Regards,
    Lennythelens

    > What are your color settings in Photoshop? Are you preserving embedded profiles? Are all the profile-mismatch dialogs enabled?
    Yes. and Yes. I am not doing and conversions. I comes over straight from Lightroom in ProPhoto RGB
    I am using CS2 BTW.
    Anyone willing to try this out themselves and see?

  • Adobe Lightroom Colour Irregularities

    Hi,
    I seem to be having a problem within Lightroom with the colour settings, every image is shown in a different colour to an exported JPEG/the original/Editing in Photoshop. I have added an example of this problem to http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a272/ibotmental/Lightroom2.jpg , which hopefully will work.
    I did have an error message in photoshop recently warning me that my monitor was not calibrated correctly but I told it to ignore the setting. I am not sure if this is why the problem is caused as I did not have Lightroom until after the error.
    I have also removed the Colour Profile I had under Properties>Settings>Advanced>Colour Management but still not difference.
    Any Ideas?
    Thanks.

    I managed to fix it, seems that after restarting the PC it is working. Thanks for replying (I use Windows XP).

  • Lightroom 4 sliders ni]=ot showing

    I have installed lightroom 4 and upgraded the catalog but the new sliders do not show. it is as if I am seeeing Lightroom 3.

    Update to PV2012.

  • I'm looking at older photos but the sliders are from Lightroom 4 and not my current Lightroom 5 sliders.  How do I get the photos to work on Lightroom 5 editing?

    I was looking at some old photos from 2012 but when I clicked the files (.dng) instead of opening with the sliders for LR5, it opened sliders for I believe LR4.  How do I get those older photos to open under LR5 sliders and not older versions of LR?

    Sorry, not so good great at LR.  Do you have pics or something visual to show how this is done?...Do i have to switch each photo's process version or is there a way to do a whole batch of them?
    The quickest way to update just one photo is to click the lightning bolt icon under the histogram in the Develop module. This can be more convenient than scrolling all the way down to the Calibration tab.
    A quick way to update a whole batch of them is to select any number of them in Grid view, and then choose Photo > Develop Settings > Convert to Current Process. The AutoSync way works too, as long as you remember to turn it off immediately after you're done.
    Like JimHess suggests, I don't automatically convert them all at once, but on a case by case basis because they don't always look better after conversion. The benefits of the new process version can potentially make them look better, but you usually have to do a few more adjustments to get them there. If you don't have time to do that yet but you need to use the existing images soon, leave them in the old process version for now.

  • Lightroom colours differ from Photoshop Bridge

    RAW images in Lightroom 2.0 are discoloured and totally different from Photoshop Bridge4 display.
    Please advise

    Could be a corrupt monitor profile. Try killing it temporarily and seeing if the both become the same.

  • Illustrator colour sliders greyed out

    Hi, illustrators CS6 color sliders have greyed out in all color modes CMYK/RGB/Spot and I'd like to get them back so they display the change in color when you slide them around. I've tried trashing preferences which didn't work and googled it but come up with nothing so I've come here to see if anyone knows how to fix this.

    Tim,
    You may try at least the easier things on the list (5) is irrelevant here, 6) is the most serious one):
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:
    https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

  • Different colours shown in Lightroom.

    Hi everyone,
    Have been struggling with lightroom colours since i downloaded the trial version.
    Technical Info:
    All images used are Jpeg and nothing to do with RAW
    Monitor: DELL 2209WA
    Original profile: SRGB
    Calibrated profile named Spyder pro 3
    Calibrated by: Spyder pro 3
    Lightroom version 3
    Photoshop cs 5
    SRGB in camera settings
    Have been researching online for weeks since i have the colour problem and tried all sort of methods mentioned in forum and several website.
    The jpeg colour straight out of camera shown on the monitor using firefox, photoshop and picasa photo viewer seem different from the version in Lightroom.
    The jpeg imported in lightroom shown is more yellowish in colour, extra effort have been taken to make sure nothing has been changed during the importing process, all presets unchecked etc.
    To ensure the colour in lightroom is a permanent colour view and not a temporary view. Exported it using SRGB and Calibrated profile.
    If exported using SRGB, the colours will go back to the original colours shown in monitor. If exported using calibrated profile (Spyderpro 3) The colours of the jpeg (yellowish) in lightroom stays. (Viewed in firefox and picasa viewer)
    However if viewed in photoshop, choosing embedded profile or convert to working space shows lightroom colours and if discard embedded profile is choose, the default colours shown in monitor is shown.
    The colour profile used in photoshop is Spyper pro 3, and embedded profile in photo is SRGB
    Calibration is done by adjusting brightness and RGB sliders to adjust white balance and kelvin as close to 6500k and luminance of 120.
    After calibration, i will change the
    device profiles in advanced to spyder pro 3
    and viewing conditions profile to WCS profile for SRGB conditions
    Default ICC profile is Spyder pro 3 afer calibration.
    Conclusion, the initial colours shown in different program, esp lightroom vs the rest make me hesitant on which colours to trust and which to do editing on. I have no issues with the exported Jpeg, which i can get them to the colours i want.
    Resetting all profiles to default(SRGB) solved this inconsistent colours issue between lightroom, photoshop and other programs, but now they are all consistently incorrect.
    One problem solved in lightroom colours creates another problem, and this is already the third biggest problem i have.
    I was having the export problem with colours, and after researching, found out that a matrix profile over LUT profile will solved the exported colours issues, but now with the matrix profile, i am getting inconsistency with the initial colours.
    Many thanks in Advanced
    YH

    Do you have screenshots illustrating this?
    Also, you have to be more specific about what you're comparing Lightroom with. Browsers are all over the map with regards to color management - IE, for instance, will not use the monitor profile, but substitute sRGB. XnView I know nothing about, but again, many applications claim to have color management when in reality they miss at least half of it.
    And since you say you have the "same problem" as the previous posters, there are a lot of confused ideas there about what color management means - one of them even embeds the monitor profile in the exported file, which defeats the whole purpose and actually turns all resemblance of color management off.
    So just to have it established: A fully color managed application, like Lightroom, converts from the source/document color profile to the monitor profile, on the fly, and that's what goes to the display. Of the web browsers, only Firefox and Safari will do that, and even then it requires that the document profile is embedded and doesn't get stripped somewhere (which can happen).
    All that said, it is of course possible that the Spyder is making bad profiles. It could be that the sensor is malfunctioning. First of all I would check for software updates from Datacolor.
    Another thing - what is your monitor model?
    EDIT: Windows Picture Viewer (not to be confused with Windows Explorer) is fully color managed and should display identically to Lightroom. How does it look there?

    Hi Victoria,
    I have read several of the nVidia tweak notes but they never seem to have the same terminology as the setting that show up when I bring up my nVidia control panel.  Here are the global defaults on my system - can you guide me as to which ones I should focus on changing?  I have tried many combinations and can't see any significant difference but unsure which ones are really important.  I have also customized these combinations such that they are limited to when Lightroom is running but unsure if that feature works or not.  Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

  • CMYK Sliders

    How do you get the CMYK and RGB sliders in the colour pane working to add some colour to a black and white logo, am using CS6 and the both colour sliders are grayed out so you cant use them, only seem to be able to add shades of gray.

  • Lightroom 4.3 toolbars

    For some strange reason the right hand side toolbars have all changed from color to B&W on me. I am NOT in B&W mode, I'm in Color develop mode. The usual color sliders have changed to all white and grey giving no color indications in any of the sub panels. The only thing thats in color is the Histogram. I can't figure out how to switch everyhting back to color and I've looked everywhere!
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    If you mean this issue, then it's because you've just upgraded to OS X Mavericks.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/sliders-lightroom-all-white-look.html
    This is fixed in Lightroom 5.2 and later (paid upgrade from Lightroom 4). Earlier versions are stuck with white sliders.

  • Labels lost following re-install of lightroom

    After re-installing Lightroom all the colour label info has been lost. Database not affected. Why? Should I use auto save xmp to prevent this?

    I had planned to re-install Win XP (and re-format) for some time - it was an illegal copy (now legal), 2 years old with loads of crap from removed programs - especially Norton! Then to top it all my UPS battery was failing and I had a number of crashes on brown/blackouts. I had backed up the database (library)but not used the xmp option (although I had on going from Beta to !.0 - but of course no labels!)
    Also used the opportunity to finally upgrade from CS to CS2 - and now can't remember how I had my colour management policies set - so edit in PS gives me different colours! I think PS is forcing back into sRGB whilst I want to stay in Lightrooms colour space - waiting for Martin Evening to finish his e-book and then hopefully I'll get some advice on this!
