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.

  • Lightroom 2 Export Color Issues

    I had been using LR 1.4 without a problem. I don't use LR to print I used Qimage. I am noticing that I cannot get bad colors when exporting to jpg and printing with Qimage.
    I don't have a profile issue, that I know of. Qimage allows printing a CR2 file direct now and the colors are perfect.
    I must be missing something. Since using LR2 the colors on exports are all off.
    Is anyone else experiencing any problems like this?
    David

    Thanks for the feedback. I am not sure if this is fully correct but:
    I tweaked a test CR2 in Qimage and printed directly from Qimage (good colors) After I went to LR2 and played with the same image and printed in LR2 (bad colors), exported to jpg (bad colors) and printed the jpg in Qimage (bad colors) Went back to LR2 and pressed reset in LR2 and stared over from scratch. (output good again - print and export)
    I am not sure but I don't think Qimages RAW changes are non-destructive to the RAW data. I am going to post message in Qimage forums, but MAYBE that messed up the CR2 file until I clicked on Reset.
    Any thought?? I will post my answers from Qimage forum.

  • Sudden, and regular crash issue using brushes/Wacom Cintiq

    I'm using Photoshop CS5 Extended 64bit (12.0.4) on Win7 Professional (64 bit) and recently have had an issue using my Cintiq 12WX tablet in that using the brush with the tablet (whether I'm using the tablet as the monitor, or my laptop as the monitor) causes Photoshop to crash, usually within the first 30 seconds of usage.  This has become so regular that I expect it to crash and no longer can trust it to use, but at the same time I depend on its use to get work done, so an expedient solution is absolutely necessary.  Does not crash if I use brush with a mouse, but that's not exactly a solution either, as you can imagine.  I have been using this tablet with this Photoshop for a long time without incident, and I can think of no changes to the system I've made in the period when this began happening.
    All drivers for the Cintiq are current.
    The entirety of the crash report reads as follows:

    Can anyone recognize these symptoms and recommend a course of action?
    Any and all possible expedient help with this issue will be appreciated.  Thanks in advance...

    Did not update it actively.  Not sure if I remember if I have that particular driver set to update automatically or not.
    What I have done, is turn off OpenGL feature in preferences, as searching for others with similar problems might have suggested that would work, but sadly it hasn't.
    Will check on the status of the graphics driver (It's NVidia QuadroFX) and if it was updated recently without me knowing.

  • InDesign exporting to PDF - .eps and .ai color issue

    I've been reviewing a lot of help forums and have played with a lot of solutions and can't seem to fix this one.
    With no updates or changes to my usual settings I've noticed an issue with my company logo when I export to PDF from InDesign CS6. Once I open the PDF all images and color spaces look fine, but the logo is muted, as if I set the opacity to 60-70% before exporting.
    It happens with both EPS and AI files. It does NOT happen when I place the logo as a JPEG, but I need transparency and quality on these PDFs. Don't say PNG please, same issue with quality.
    I don't understand how it changed when I changed nothing.
    Any guidance would be appreciated, and I know I couldn't have possiblty provide a complete set of variables, so let me know wheat else would be helpful.

    Thanks for both your responses. It appears that everythign in the original logo file and InDesign file are accurately set up. I've explored any back corners to see if something is off, but it all reads the same space/model/mode.
    I've inserted an exported image to show the issue. The file formats from top to bottom is: AI, EPS, JPEG, PNG
    Any other ideas?

  • Iphone and TV color issue

    Why is the color on my Sony and Toshiba TV screen a different color than that on my iphone? Ex. Netflix screen is green instead of red on TV. I am using an Apple Component AV cable.

    I was having the exact same problem. Connect iPhone 3g and Canon CameraWindow would open with a notification that no camera was attached.
    I found a setting in ImageCapture which controls what happens when you connect a camera. In the preferences menu, just select none. Problem fixed.

  • Disable Elements 8 Organizer due to using Lightroom and want to still use PSE

    I have installed and now use Lightroom.
    I still want to use Elements 8 Editor to further edit images.
    Every image I edit ends up in the Elements Organizer.
    I need help preventing my newly edited images from finding their way into Elements Organizer.

    The most efficient way to do this is to set PSE editor as your external editor in LR and make the round trip from there.

  • Lightroom and Fuji preset issue

    I've updated the firmware on my Fuji X-E2 and have the option of using the Classic Chrome preset. However when I import the files into Lightroom I'm not given the option of using  Classic Chrome with the RAW file.
    I am running Lightroom 5.7.1 on a Mac and under the Camera Calibration panel in the Develop Module I can access:
    Camera Provia
    Camera Velvia
    Camera Astia
    Camera Pro Neg Hi
    Camera Pro neg Std
    Camera Monochrome (Y, R and G)
    I have version 8.7.1 of Adobe Camera Raw installed.
    Can anyone please tell me why I can't see the Classic Chrome option (I believe it was introduced in Lightroom 5.7) and how to sort it?
    Many thanks.

    Classic Chrome wasn't available for your camera in LR 5.7 and ACR 8.7, either, right, so it's not the case that it disappeared with the x.7.1 update, it's just that Adobe hasn't added it yet for the X-E2, yet.
    See the following discussion:

  • Lightroom and creative cloud issue

    I Have photoshop photography, my installation of lightroom disappears without reason from the list of installed applications of creative cloud. I don't have uninstalled lightroom. If I click on the lightroom icon the program works perfectly

    You are still running Lightroom 5.6. If you look at the application manager you will find Lightroom listed as an application to install. This will install Lightroom 5.7. If you are on Windows the installation will replace your previous version. When the installation is complete Lightroom will again be listed with the other up to date applications in the application manager.

    Hello,
    there's a problem, which I couldn't solve.
    I choose a photo in LR 5.3 to edit in an external editor (which is Photoshop CS 6, format: psd, 16 bit, 300 dpi) and PS CS 6 starts so I can do the editing.
    When I save my work, the new file not appears in the LR 5.3 catalogue / collection.
    I choose different a file format (tiff), but I haven't success.
    Any ideas, what could be the reason?
    Thank You all!!
    Cheers

    If you decide to stick with your present software configuration then it will be necessary for you to convert your raw images using the latest DNG converter.  Conversion to DNG is built into Lightroom, and it doesn't use the standalone DNG converter.
    I might suggest that you download the Lightroom 4.1 RC2 from the Adobe Labs web site and give it a try.  It will create a copy of your Lightroom 3 catalog, but it will not interfere with your use of the previous version.  I am running it, and don't find that I have the problems that some are.  You can use it for free until it expires.  That should give you enough time to evaluate whether or not you want to switch.  I have purchased Lightroom 4 but have not installed it yet.  I'm going to wait until 4.1 is officially released.

  • Mac mini good for photoshop, lightroom and large files?

    Hello all,
    My brother finally wants to switch from windows to mac and asked me for advice. He is a young photography professional so his primary need is to run photoshop, lightroom and be able to use large RAW files and 100+ MB photoshop files.
    He still has a 27" high resolution screen, so my first option to look at is the Mac Mini with the 2.7 GHz dual core i7, 8GB of ram and the standard 5400 rpm drive (as SSD is too expensive). Is this machine capable of handling the above mentioned things? I think that the processor and memory are more than enough, but i have my doubts about the videocard, since 256 mb of video memory is not that much in these days..
    In the future he wants to buy an iMac or Macbook Pro, but for now that's still a little to expensive. Although, if the mac mini is not that good, he has to decide whether to wait a while and then buy an iMac or something.
    I hope that anyone can give us some advice:-)
    Kind regards,
    Mark van Dam

    Thank you everybody for all the replies!
    First off, I think we'll wait what the 11th of june will bring us, hopefully a new mac mini. As Michael Wasley stated, the glossy imac screen isn't going to work for him. So that brings us to a Mac Mini or Macbook Pro. I'm using the macbook pro myself for the last couple of years and i'm a great fan of it's capabilities.. but my brother prefers a fixed 'computer' and not a laptop..
    At this point i think he's going to buy (the new?) mac mini (and use his own screen), upgrade the RAM to somewhere between 12-16 GB, possible get a SSD drive and for sure get the biggest i7 processor available.
    Hopefully that will get things running.
    Kind regards,
    Mark

  • Why does Lightroom (and Photoshop) use AdobeRGB and/or ProPhoto RGB as default color spaces, when most monitors are standard gamut (sRGB) and cannot display the benefits of those wider gamuts?

    I've asked this in a couple other places online as I try to wrap my head around color management, but the answer continues to elude me. That, or I've had it explained and I just didn't comprehend. So I continue. My confusion is this: everywhere it seems, experts and gurus and teachers and generally good, kind people of knowledge claim the benefits (in most instances, though not all) of working in AdobeRGB and ProPhoto RGB. And yet nobody seems to mention that the majority of people - including presumably many of those championing the wider gamut color spaces - are working on standard gamut displays. And to my mind, this is a huge oversight. What it means is, at best, those working this way are seeing nothing different than photos edited/output in sRGB, because [fortunately] the photos they took didn't include colors that exceeded sRGB's real estate. But at worst, they're editing blind, and probably messing up their work. That landscape they shot with all those lush greens that sRGB can't handle? Well, if they're working in AdobeRGB on a standard gamut display, they can't see those greens either. So, as I understand it, the color managed software is going to algorithmically reign in that wild green and bring it down to sRGB's turf (and this I believe is where relative and perceptual rendering intents come into play), and give them the best approximation, within the display's gamut capabilities. But now this person is editing thinking they're in AdobeRGB, thinking that green is AdobeRGB's green, but it's not. So any changes they make to this image, they're making to an image that's displaying to their eyes as sRGB, even if the color space is, technically, AdobeRGB. So they save, output this image as an AdobeRGB file, unaware that [they] altered it seeing inaccurate color. The person who opens this file on a wide gamut monitor, in the appropriate (wide gamut) color space, is now going to see this image "accurately" for the first time. Only it was edited by someone who hadn't seen it accurately. So who know what it looks like. And if the person who edited it is there, they'd be like, "wait, that's not what I sent you!"
    Am I wrong? I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone. I shoot everything RAW, and I someday would love to see these photos opened up in a nice, big color space. And since they're RAW, I will, and probably not too far in the future. But right now I export everything to sRGB, because - internet standards aside - I don't know anybody who I'd share my photos with, who has a wide gamut monitor. I mean, as far as I know, most standard gamut monitors can't even display 100% sRGB! I just bought a really nice QHD display marketed toward design and photography professionals, and I don't think it's 100. I thought of getting the wide gamut version, but was advised to stay away because so much of my day-to-day usage would be with things that didn't utilize those gamuts, and generally speaking, my colors would be off. So I went with the standard gamut, like 99% of everybody else.
    So what should I do? As it is, I have my Photoshop color space set to sRGB. I just read that Lightroom as its default uses ProPhoto in the Develop module, and AdobeRGB in the Library (for previews and such).
    Thanks for any help!
    Michael

    Okay. Going bigger is better, do so when you can (in 16-bit). Darn, those TIFs are big though. So, ideally, one really doesn't want to take the picture to Photoshop until one has to, right? Because as long as it's in LR, it's going to be a comparatively small file (a dozen or two MBs vs say 150 as a TIF). And doesn't LR's develop module use the same 'engine' or something, as ACR plug-in? So if your adjustments are basic, able to be done in either LR Develop, or PS ACR, all things being equal, choose to stay in LR?

    PS RGB Workspace:  ProPhotoRGB and I convert any 8-bit documents to 16-bit before doing any adjustments.
    Why does one convert 8-bit pics to 16-bit? Not sure if this is an apt comparison, but it seems to me that that's kind of like upscaling, in video. Which I've always taken to mean adding redundant information to a file so that it 'fits' the larger canvas, but to no material improvement. In the case of video, I think I'd rather watch a 1080p movie on an HD (1080) screen (here I go again with my pixel-to-pixel prejudice), than watch a 1080p movie on a 4K TV, upscaled. But I'm ready to be wrong here, too. Maybe there would be no discernible difference? Maybe even though the source material were 1080p, I could still sit closer to the 4K TV, because of the smaller and more densely packed array of pixels. Or maybe I only get that benefit when it's a 4K picture on a 4K screen? Anyway, this is probably a different can of worms. I'm assuming that in the case of photo editing, converting from 8 to 16-bit allows one more room to work before bad things start to happen?
    I'm recent to Lightroom and still in the process of organizing from Aperture. Being forced to "this is your life" through all the years (I don't recommend!), I realize probably all of my pictures older than 7 years ago are jpeg, and probably low-fi at that. I'm wondering how I should handle them, if and when I do. I'm noting your settings, ssprengel.
    ssprengel Apr 28, 2015 9:40 PM
    I save my PS intermediate or final master copy of my work as a 16-bit TIF still in the ProPhotoRGB, and only when I'm ready to share the image do I convert to sRGB then 8-bits, in that order, then do File / Save As: Format=JPG.
    Part of the same question, I guess - why convert back to 8-bits? Is it for the recipient?  Do some machines not read 16-bit? Something else?
    For those of you working in these larger color spaces and not working with a wide gamut display, I'd love to know if there are any reasons you choose not to. Because I guess my biggest concern in all of this has been tied to what we're potentially losing by not seeing the breadth of the color space we work in represented while making value adjustments to our images. Based on what several have said here, it seems that the instances when our displays are unable to represent something as intended are infrequent, and when they do arise, they're usually not extreme.
    Simon G E Garrett Apr 29, 2015 4:57 AM
    With 8 bits, there are 256 possible values.  If you use those 8 bits to cover a wider range of colours, then the difference between two adjacent values - between 100 and 101, say - is a larger difference in colour.  With ProPhoto RGB in 8-bits there is a chance that this is visible, so a smooth colour wedge might look like a staircase.  Hence ProPhoto RGB files might need to be kept as 16-bit TIFs, which of course are much, much bigger than 8-bit jpegs.
    Over the course of my 'studies' I came across a side-by-side comparison of either two color spaces and how they handled value gradations, or 8-bit vs 16-bit in the same color space. One was a very smooth gradient, and the other was more like a series of columns, or as you say, a staircase. Maybe it was comparing sRGB with AdobeRGB, both as 8-bit. And how they handled the same "section" of value change. They're both working with 256 choices, right? So there might be some instances where, in 8-bit, the (numerically) same segment of values is smoother in sRGB than in AdobeRGB, no? Because of the example Simon illustrated above?
    Oh, also -- in my Lumix LX100 the options for color space are sRGB or AdobeRGB. Am I correct to say that when I'm shooting RAW, these are irrelevant or ignored? I know there are instances (certain camera effects) where the camera forces the shot as a jpeg, and usually in that instance I believe it will be forced sRGB.
    Thanks again. I think it's time to change some settings..
