  • All my prints using: Lightroom 5, printer color management turned off, and non-generic ICC profile (e.g. Epson Premium Glossy) have magenta tint or cast

    I'm using PC with: Windows 8.1, 64bit, Lightroom 5.4, Epson R3000, 6.75 (latest) driver, color management turned off in printer settings, Lightroom configured to manage color.  If I use a generic ICC profile such as Epson sRGB, the prints look OK.  But when I use any ICC profile dedicated to my paper and printer combination, such as Epson Premium Glossy, or one created using ColorMunki print profile, the prints all have a medium to heavy magenta tint or cast.  The effect can be seen before I even print in the Epson Print Preview.  Yet when I soft proof, I don't see this effect.  I suspect the problem lies somewhere in the CMM process, but I can't pin it down.  Any tips or suggestions are appreciated.

    Thank you kindly for your insightful response.  As it turns out, the answer is half correct.  I've found others who'll say the same thing, that double color management will lead to a very magenta result.  I believe this was certainly the case when I first started playing with the settings,  Where I went wrong, is that after I corrected my settings by turning off printer manages color and letting Lightroom do the color management, is that the Epson Print Preview was still showing magenta with certain profiles.  Not wanting to waste more money on paper and ink, I used the preview to gauge whether I was going to get a normal print or not.  Then one day I ignored the print preview's magenta cast as a 'warning' and I went ahead printed the photo anyways.  Because I used a profile that I created with ColorMunki Photo, the picture came out perfect (i.e. a very good match to what I was seeing in Lightoom on my monitor).  The lesson learned is that for judging the final color correctness, the Epson Print Preview can be way off target and your best bet is to ignore it.

  • Book color in .chm help

    Does anyone know if there's a way to change the book color in
    .chm help? I see where you can select a custom image. But I don't
    want a single image. I want to use the open books, closed books,
    and topic icons, just in a different color.

    Hi, Brenwine,
    You'd use a graphics editor like Paint or Paint Shop Pro to
    set up the icon file as you want it, and then you'd configure your
    TOC to use the icons in this file instead of the standard TOC icons
    (see
    "Customize
    HTML Help table of contents").
    Before you do much work on this, though, it's worth noting
    that Microsoft never properly implemented this feature in HTML
    Help, and consequently it is so handicapped as to be barely worth
    using. See these articles for more information on the problems and
    some possible workarounds:

  • HELP!!! Lightroom automatically adjusting color in my photos and I can't  change it.

    Background: I am evaluating lightroom. I have zero tolerance for automatic adjustments that I can't control, since I strive for absolute consistency across all my photos. That means a manual setting of exposure and white balance on my camera, and I need to have manual control over post-processing.
    Problem: When I import a photo into lightroom, it applies some color adjustments that throw off the color pretty badly. For example, when I first import the photo into lightroom, I see this (brown horse, red dirt):
    Just a few seconds later it turns into this, and I am powerless to change it (yellow horse, yellow dirt):
    Is there any way I can change this?

    First you see the thumbnail inside the RAW, which is produced by the camera. Second LR applies it's own raw conversion over it. If you use the raw converted provided with the camera you will get picture nro one result.
    (brown horse, red dirt) VS (yellow horse, yellow dirt) is excatly what I am trying to explain in this thread.
    http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx/.3bc4c365/94
    The difference is between the camera's own conversion VS LR conversion. And in MY opinion there is not much you can do about this. And in my opinion there is nothing you should do about this, because raw converter should produce tonally accurate results straight from the box. That's what you have paid for. All the other adjustments are there to adjust the default tonally accurate and tonally rich photo to your preferences, not to adjust the 0 tones in orange-yellow image to closer to the scene you just photographed.
    Just look this fireplace photo i took to show what i mean (ACR=LR in the markings, dpp = canon digital photo professional and DXO is converter of DXO labs):
    http://jkphoto.pp.fi/upload/acr_dpp_dxo.jpg
    Focus on the transition from orange to yellow. In LR conversions the tones go from orange to light pinkish tone. In dpp and dxo conversions the orange turns to yellow.

  • Lightroom's 4 color "spaces"

    I’m working on designing an advanced photography course. This course makes use of Lightroom and Photoshop in the photographic workflow.
    I’m learning and researching myself as I go along, and I feel I have reached a ceiling on what I can work out from the sources at my disposal thus far.
    So I am turning here for help.
    I am trying to clarify how tones and colours are affected from the actual scene through to the printed page. This might seem like overkill to some. However, there is a lot of misunderstanding and confusion, not to mention heated discussions amongst photographers about these issues. I’m experimenting with metering and colour / tone targets and my calculations are only meaningful if I understand how tones and colours are affected at every stage of the workflow.
    Here’s how I understand it:
    There are 4 (sort of) Colour “spaces” in Develop where a real-time dynamic preview of an image is rendered
    1.       The “viewing space” (ProPhotoRGB Chromaticity co-ordinates, sRGB gamma)
    2.       The “computational space” (ProPhotoRGB chromaticity co-ordinates, linear gamma – “MelissaRGB”)
    (Martin Evening’s Lightroom 3 book published by Adobe press - Appendix B, section on color space page 628-632)
    Below that, things get a little fuzzy. According to Jeff Schewe (Real World Camera RAW for CS5, page 32) there is a sort of
    3.            “Native Camera Space” and of course there is the
    4.            RAW data in the file on disk.
    So to generate the dynamically rendered preview, the image goes through the four “layers” as follows (from bottom to top). This is almost certainly flawed, but one has to start somewhere when trying to work things out :-)
    1. The RAW file is read from disk. Colorimetric interpretation is performed using a camera profile (e.g. Adobe Standard for whatever camera it is you are using). This process puts the image data into “Native camera space” (“Plotted” onto CIE XYZ with D50 white point)
    2. In “Native camera space, the scene white balance (as selected by user, guessed by Lightroom or reported by camera) as well as additional camera calibration panel matrix tweaks “informs” the colorimetric conversion into Lightroom’s “computational space” e.g. Melissa RGB. The colorimetric definition of camera RGB primaries and white is re-DEFINED. The demosaicing as well as chromatic aberration corrections are performed in “native camera space”
    3. Almost all image processing calculations occur computationally in the  “MelissaRGB Lightroom computational space”
    4. What is displayed on the screen, however, has an sRGB tone curve applied. This represents the “viewing” space. The histogram is generated from this and the RGB colour percentage readouts are generated from this as well. In addition, some slider controls from user input are weighted back through the tone curve into the computational space below.
    Could someone from Adobe kindly help me to clarify the steps? Eric are you reading this? :-)
    Thanks in advance

    Sandy - Thanks for the link. The spreadsheets you posted on your site is quite helpful.
    Jao – I think what you said goes to the heart of what I am trying to achieve here: “Photograph a grey target at the exact same exposure with the exact same lighting but with different cameras and you'll end up with different values in the raw files” Which is why I encourage photographers to experiment with their cameras in order to understand exactly how the camera will respond in the heat of a real shoot. Set up a scene; take a picture, open in Lightroom. What is clipped and why? Use a reflective spot meter. Repeat. Use a hand held incident meter. Repeat. How much can you reliably recover? Are you happy with what your meter considers the mid-point (and what you set your exposure for on the camera) or do you need to compensate? Just how much latitude do you have between what your camera histogram shows as a blown out highlight and what Lightroom shows as a blown out highlight. This relates to tone. I could go on with more examples, but by now, I am (hopefully) making more sense.
    I’m merely trying to clarify that which is already public in order to form a coherent mental picture. And by mental picture I do not mean an accurate representation of the minutiae and maths involved. Think of a subway map. It represents a bird’s eye view of a transportation system in a logical fashion, yet it bears almost no resemblance to the cartographical reality of the physical topography. I really don’t care where the tunnels go, how they were dug, how they are maintained or where they twist and turn. What I AM looking for is a logical (not physical) map. This map tells me where the different lines begin and end, and where I can change from one line to the other. The most important quality of the map as a whole is that it provides context. You can tell, at a glance, how different lines interact with each other and even how it links to other entities such as bus stations or public landmarks.
    As many have rightfully pointed out, I should not have to care about the maths/secret sauce/internal calculations. And I don’t. In addition, I am a very happy Lightroom user and I am very comfortable using it. I know what a user needs to know to get his picture from A to B. There is no shortage of information on how to accomplish that.
    It might help if I illustrate what I am trying to do below:
    Please excuse the low resolution, the maximum height allowed for upload is 600 pixels. The picture below goes on the bottom left of the "layer" picture above.
    Even though there are certainly many mistakes in my diagram, this is a helpful visualisation. I derived this diagram from publicly available information. As the subway map, this is a logical (not physical) representation that provides context in a visual form. With a little help from people like Eric I am sure I can correct and expand it. The net result is an enhanced understanding of Lightroom and ACR and where it fits into the photographic process, both in terms of tone and colour.
    I am not posting the entire chart here since I am not even certain that a 4 “layered” representation is an appropriate logical representation. I posted the spine of the chart with the 4 “layers” and one part that elaborates on the colorimetric interpretation between the two bottom layers. Comments and corrections are welcomed. And I am convinced that this can be accomplished without divulging anything confidential.

  • Printing in Lightroom Produces Wrong Colors

    I have searched these forums and found a couple of topics that have to do with incorrect or wrong colors being printed by Lightroom but none of the suggestions proposed seemed to help. So, I think that I have something else going on that is causing me problems.
    The vital statistics: I am using Lightroom 1.4.1 on Vista Home Premium with an HP C7280 All-in-One printer. The pictures I am trying to print are DNGs converted by Lightroom. When printing in Lightroom, I select the option to have the color managed by the printer.
    Basically, any picture that I print from Lightroom looks darker than the original. So, I tried a couple of different tests to try to find out what is going on. I exported a picture to a jpeg and printed that with the Microsoft Office Picture Manager and it printed fine.
    I was curious what would happen if the photo was printed from Photpshop CS3. So, I created a copy of the DNG file from Lightroom and edited it in Photoshop. I printed the picture from Photoshop with the color set to be managed by the printer, and Photoshop also printed the photo with a dark look. I then changed the Color Handling to "Photoshop Manages Color" and the Printer Profile to sRGB, and the picture printed perfectly.
    In addition, I tried printing jpgs from Lightroom, and I got the same dark results. Any suggestions as to what is going on will be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance!
    Michael

    Unfortunately, Lightroom cannot print to this specific printer without tricks. The reason is that HP does not provide color management in the driver (which is why you have to use sRGB in Photoshop - shudder!) and does not provide icc profiles for it. This is HP not providing good drivers for their consumer-oriented printers, and Lightroom expecting at least reasonably modern printer drivers. Photoshop will print to anything by using the working space fall back that really is a hack. Unfortunately, Lightroom does not provide the same hack. In your case, there is a trick you can use, which is to find the "HP color Laserjet RGB" icc profile that HP ships with their laserprinter drivers. It is just an sRGB profile masquerading as a printer profile. If you use that in the profile field in Lightroom, it
    should work.

  • Color management problems - help please!

    Hello, I'm trying hard to understand color management and to make colors consistent throughout my workflow, and I'm failing miserably despite reading and re-reading the help files. I'd REALLY appreciate some help with my specific problems, which I'm going to detail here.
    WHAT I DO
    I make pictures for use on the Web. I do both this by photoshopping existing photos, and by digitally drawing and painting in photoshop starting from a blank document.
    HOW MY SYSTEM IS SET UP
    1) I have my monitor set to sRGB, and I've calibrated the colors using the Viewsonic calibration app that came with the monitor. The resulting colors look good, to my eyes at least.
    2) I've set up Photoshop to use sRGB as the working RGB colorspace, and to convert RGB images to the working colorspace
    3) I've set up Photoshop's Save For Web to embed the color profile, to Convert to sRGB, and to Preview with Use Document Profile
    THE PROBLEM I'M HAVING
    The preview I see in the Save For Web preview screen exactly matches the source document. However, after saving for web, the color of the jpg or gif is significantly different to that of the original document.
    If I change the preview mode to Monitor Color, it does show an accurate representation of the jpg or gif that will be saved, but of course as I've explained that is drastically different to the source document.
    WHAT I NEED
    1) I need the output jpg or gif to match the source document
    2) I need to understand what's going wrong so that I can gain some insight into this process. I'm finding it very confusing
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Mark

    Mark,
    What model of viewsonic do you have? And is it a CRT or LCD?
    If it's a CRT, there are some software based "eyeball" calibrators which can get you in the ballpark. If you have an older version of Photoshop you can use the Adobe Gamma utility that was included in CS2 and earlier versions.
    After that, my previous advice still stands, but the best results are still going to be to bite the bullet for a colorimeter and live with the peace of mind that will give you.
    If your Viewsonic is an LCD, you're much more limited, as the eyeball calibrators were never designed for LCD's. You can try them and they may be better than nothing, but no guarantees.

  • Selective regions in Color...help?

    Hello all...
    I've just recently begun using Color. After the initial terror subsided, I found it to be an intuitive, powerful program. Glad I finally had an excuse to use it; I'm now about half-way through color correcting a feature.
    The director has been sitting with me here as we go through it together...twelve hour days are not uncommon. Out of this collaboration, we've come up with some pretty cool ideas. I've bumbled my way into figuring most of them out, but am now wondering how to pull this one off...
    We've taken one scene to black and white, very contrasty, gorgeous actually. I would like to let this scene remain black and white, but have the tattoo on the lead's arm be in color. Also a glass of whiskey. Other than those two things, black and white, but those two dead on. In wides and CUs. My question is, quite obviously:
    How in blazes can I do this? I remember seeing something similar done at the Final Cut Studio tour stop here in Los Angeles last year, and if I remember correctly, the guy demo-ing Color did this in real time while we all oooh'ed and ahhh'ed. It can be done! I know it!
    Help! Please! Deadline approaching and director is asking me daily if I've figured it out yet...
    Thanks!

    Take a look at this tutorial.

  • Lightroom (ACR 4) color management problems

    Lightroom (or ACR 4) has some color management problems. When I develop a DNG into Photoshop (sRGB) everything looks great. Then I proof colors for the web (monitor RGB) the reds become oversaturated. I don't see this problem when I develop the same DNG using Bridge (ACR 3).
    Any picture that I develop using LR that looks great in Photoshop, becomes way too red when published on the web.
    Whats going on here?

    I have confirmed this finding using Photoshop CS3 beta - same problem in converting to the web - too red!

  • Updated to Lightroom 3.6... Help

    Updated lightroom 3 to version 3.6 just released. I am on a iMac operating system 10.6.8. Everything OK until I tried to open an image in the 'develop' module and nothing happens and the program freezes. Please help urgently.

    Dear Geoff,
    Have done as you asked. The file was in the "My Pictures" Folder. I moved the file to the desktop as you asked then imported the image into Lightroom. The image appeared in the 'Library' module with a tick. I then went to the 'develop' mode and clicked on that. For a few seconds the screen went dark and then the rainbow spinning ball appeared to show it had frozen again. It had no problems before I downloaded Lightroom update version 3.6 last night.
    Again thanks for trying to work out this problem. Much appreciated.

  • Lightroom and GIMP color issue using jpg

    Here is what I do:
    Using an iMac (Tiger) and have my monitor calibrated using the built in MacOS tool. The profile is stored in the Library/ColorSync/Profiles folder. In the GIMP settings about color management, I have chosen the monitor profile from above as the monitor profile and the RGB profile.
    I have a (Canon) RAW image mainly in a neutral, if not slightly yellowish, tone with some beautiful golden pins. Imported the CR2 into Adobe Lightroom and exported in sRGB color space, the jpg looks like this: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/18039/1283133
    Now I would love this with a nice frame, so I did a hi quality export, loaded it into GIMP 2.4.3, added a frame, and saved it as full size jpg. When I look at the resulting jpg in MacOS Preview application, it looks fine and so it does when I upload it to the web: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/18039/1284108
    But as I manage all my images in Lightroom, I also want to manage this one in Lightroom, so I imported it. And look what's coming out: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/18039/1284100
    It's all purple!
    It looks the same in Lightroom, Preview and uploaded. Purple. What am I doing wrong? Is there any hidden Lightroom setting I have scambled?
    When I am saving TIFF from GIMP, Lightroom imports with proper colors.

    The third one (reimported into Lightroom) is indeed purplish. Are you using the latest gimp? Versions of gimp before a while ago could not color manage and will probably forget about the profile. It was only recently added. You should have the working space set to sRGB (so not RGB as you wrote above) in the gimp probably for this image. Also, make sure you do NOT save as a progressive jpeg, but only using baseline compression. Lightroom tends to change the color of progressive jpegs. This is probably what is going on.

  • BI BEANS - Graph - How to change the color .. please help

    Hi Everyone,
    Can anyone please tell me how to change the color of the Graph bars or slices. I mean the color which represents the data.
    For example in a pie chart I want to set specific color for specific slice. Please help.
    Regards
    SRT

    It seems to be the SET_SERIE_COLOR() method added to the FormsGraph revised version, but this latest version is momentarily not available for download.
    I think there is an existant open thread on this. Maybe you could find it using the Forum Search box.

  • Lightroom shows wrong colors, but fine after export

    Hi,
    since some time Lightroom seems to show me a reduced color depth which get especially apparent in darker areas. See the dark area to the very right in a screenshot from Lightroom:

    I'm using Lightroom 4.4, but the Lightroom 5 test version shows the same behavior.
    Any ideas? Thanks,

    Thanks so far!
    Here is the side-by-side comparison of Lightroom, Windows Photo Viewer and IrfanView. IrfanView uses the color profiles:
