Lightroom color cast question of JPEG image

Lightroom color cast question of JPEG image
Camera Canon MKII Color Matrix Adobe RGB
Photoshop CS Color Setting Adobe RGB (1998)
Lightroom 1.2 as new lightroom user I did not think that I needed to choose a color setting or color profile until I am ready to print my photos. I have not done any preset camera calibration.
Link to my website with example photo http://www.basecampphotos.com/color.jpg
My question is why is Lightroom displaying the images with a yellow color cast ? The image is a print screen from Lightroom on the left and Photoshop on the right The color cast problem can be seen in the white walls of the stairway. Also when viewing the image with Windows Picture and Fax viewer the walls are white as expected.
Any ideas or suggestions as to why Lightroom is displaying the images with the yellow color cast or what I need to do to correct the issue ?
Thanks
Jim

Almost definitely a corrupt monitor profile. Time and again this turns out to be the cause of such differences between PS and LR. You need to recalibrate the monitor or if you do not have a hardware calibrator, delete the profile from windows' monitor properties pane to test and then get a hardware calibrator.
P.S since you are using adobeRGB jpegs, Windows picture and Fax viewers cannot give you the correct colors even on a calibrated monitor. Those are not color managed programs (I believe picture viewer finally is in Vista but definitely not in XP which you appear to be using). Also, PS has to be correctly set up to always preserve embedded profiles and to ask when you have profile mismatches, otherwise even PS will give incorrect color. Make sure to set this up in Edit>Color settings.
P.S.2: Make sure you are not applying defaults in Lightroom to your images either on import or elsewhere. Sometimes people by accident define develop defaults that in this case might contain a white balance shift. Go to LR preferences and open the Presets tab. Here click on "Reset all default Develop settings" and make sure that only the auto grayscale checkbox is ticked. For images that it might have already happened to, make sure to hit the reset button.

  • Editing colors of an imported JPEG image

    I have imported this jpeg into illustrator. How do I edit the color of the image, as in the color of the letters?

    Unless you trace it and rebuild it as vectors or re-create it from scratch using type tools and the original fonts, your options will be severely limited like applying effects and tints only. You are simply using the wrong program. AI is not meant to edit pixel data in this fashion. That's Photoshop stuff.

  • Magenta color cast problem on canon 7d raw files

    when i import canon raw files (cr2) into lightroom 3, i get a magenta color cast over the whole image. the thumbnail image looks fine, but when lightroom opens up the image, it get's a magenta color cast over the whole thing. i shot raw+jpeg mode too, and there's a huge differnce in color between the two. the jpeg looks like how i shot it in camera but the raw image has the ugly magenta color. not only do i get this ugly color, but it seems like there's added noise compared to jpeg image.
    i tried converting the cr2 into a dng. but when i open that in lightroom, i get the same problem.
    i use aperture 2.1 (i only use the lr3 trial so far), but i have the same problem there.
    i use cs3 but i downloaded cs5 trial.
    acr i have is 6.1
    help.
    thanks.

    Go to develop and the callibration tab and change it in the pull down menu to a canon default like 'Neutral' and not the adobe one which is made by somebody totally colour blind or obviously a Nikon fan.
    Although this is weird as the problem for me has always been canon JPG's with the cast and not the RAW.
    Also check your white balance cause Lightroom seems to change it whatever..  'AS SHOT' is a big fat Adobe lie so use a preset from your camera in the drop down box.. Why?  I shoot with Canon's flash WB setting which i know to be 5500k with the tint at zero.  On import, Lightroom changes it to 6150 and adds an amazing +7 on the magenta tint, if i chose 'FLASH' things suddenly turn to what i see on the camera LCD..  I'm sure that is where the big fat tint has come from since day one.

  • Third-party plugins and color cast

    Hello,
    When using DE:Noise or Magic Bullet Denoiser 2, I get a color cast on the whole image when it is applied simultaneously with a color correction via a Lumetri effect.
    I have tried everything inside Premiere regarding effect order, nesting, and adjustment layers. No matter what, the color cast is always there. On the contrary, if I export the color corrected footage, then import back, then apply the denoising, there is no problem.
    Any help ?
    Thanks
    Fred

    The transitions in FCP are the same. Transitions are not keyframeable, clips and filters are keyframeable. There might be some third party transitions. You could try google.

  • There is a major color shift in my artwork image from the photoshop jpeg to dreamweaver - it gets 'g

    There is a major color shift in my artwork image from the photoshop jpeg to dreamweaver - it gets 'grayed out', loses color contrast. I checked in Bridge and the color settings are synchronized. The image in photoshop is just like what i get from my Nikon D90 camera. The  grayed out image has also been noted by two of my professional printer co. which i use but one of my printers - Modern Postcard - the images in photoshop are perfect. I just need to know what causes the color shift and how to control/manage it, thank you, Kathyrn

    I have noted color shifts as well and have come to a few observations.
    When you are making a .JPG file and you are trying to make a color in that file be the same color as your website's background, you're going to get a lot of failures. Photoshop will add color information in an ICC file in the meta information in the file if you like. That tends to produce actual colors, but they do not fit a web gamut.
    The way I generally deal with images that need high quality is that I use the Save for Web and Other Devices exclusively, either ticking on or off the ICC profile for JPEG files and working with what works best. Saving a JPEG with as much information as is possible is usually the best choice but, since JPEG is a "lossy" compression scheme, you are always going to get some issues.
    Additionally, the web browser in question will have control over what is displayed as well.
    So try playing with the ICC profile in Photoshop's Save for Web And Other Devices and see if you can't get things a little more reliable.

  • Color cast when printing from Lightroom with Epson 3880 printer

    Just got an epson 3880 printer. Printing on epson paper is fine. But printing on Ilford or Moab or other papers from lightroom and photoshop have a terrible magenta color cast.
    WHen I print the same image from Preview, with the same print driver settings, it looks fine. So somehow the adobe apps (or my settings) are messing up the color sync.
    I used to have an espon 2400 which worked just fine.
    I have Mac OSX-10.9.1. Monitor is calibrated. (Prints to epson paper with their profiles look great...it's just other profiles that are really bad).
    I need help!

    Are you using moab icc profiles or are you using one of the epson profiles?
    I always use the moab profiles which you can download from their Web site. This way you are matching the specific epson printer with the specific moab paper.
    At that point you change the printer manages color to Lightroom manages color and select the specific profile. Very easy to do - they even have instructions on the Moab site for installing the profiles if you haven't done that.
    Once installed you can also use them through the system print dialogs in PS but it is really much much easier to use in LR - Since coming on board with LR last summer, I have switched to doing ALL printing from LR. Since you mentioned that you are having the same problem with LR and PS, I'm betting you are using epson profiles and this will solve your problem.
    Hope so

  • JPEG image in lightroom 4 book module

    In creating a photobook in Lightroom 4 two JPEG images have an exclamation point in a red square in the  upper right had corner which when clicked says "This photo is offline orcannot be found. It will be omitted when you print your book."  How can this be fixed so that I can send the book to Blurb for printing?
    Kevin

    The message means exactly what it says.
    That image is not available to Lightroom currently.
    Either this image has been moved (outside of Lightroom) or inadvertantly deleted.
    In the Library module R-click on the question mark and see if you can't track it down and so re-acquaint Lightroom with this image.

  • Removing Color Cast with TIFF images?  (PSE 8)

    Hello,
    Hoping someone can help.  I'm trying to "remove color cast" with TIFF images and I'm not seeing the option as available.  It works fine when I try to use it with JPEG images.
    To be clear....I'm using PSE 8...after opening a picture (of course), on the top menu "Enhance", then "Adjust Color".  When I'm working with a TIFF image the option "Remove Color Cast" is not available/active.  It works fine with JPEG images.
    What am I missing?
    Thanks,
    Rich

    Alternatively if you want to keep the file at 16 bit click File >>Open As >>Camera Raw
    Then use the temperature and tint sliders to edit your tiff.
     

  • Picking a color of a JPEG image

    Hi!
    Can anyone please help me with this issue:
    I'm writing a program that has to *"pick a color" of a 640 x 480px JPEG image*. The arguments of the program are the X and Y coordinates from the top left corner - than the program outputs the color in the hexadecimal notation.
    Kind regards

    Nope not a homework problem ... I have a GUI program (some input fields and a simple display) that downloads some specific measurement pictures (colour graphs) from a daily refreshed site and it archives them in a specific order. The output of the program is a HTML file that resembles a specific measurement based on the colour of a specific pixel on these pictures.
    I have everything in place ... just this colour picking of an image poses a halt for me.
    That's why I was hoping to get a usage example of the method that you specified.

  • Adobe Camera RAW (All Versions) Import Canon .CR2 / RAW images with an orange / green color cast.

    All versions of Adobe Camera RAW including the latest 7.3 import .CR2 images with a greenish / orange color cast.
    Tested on 7D, and 5D III
    Makes Hardwood floors, and flesh tones look abysmal.
    Canon's Digital Photo Professional renders the colors fine, as does ACDSee 5.0 Pro (when viewing)  Exporting from ACDSee however is another story as things look even worse than Adobe.  DPP can export perfectly.
    Changes to Color Gammut / Space have little or no effect.

    Good day!

  • Strong red color cast over some images, solved

    Hi,
    This issue was driving me nuts recently, but having just found the solution I thought I'd share in case anyone else runs into the same issue.
    From one day to the next, my Mac (late 2013 MBP retina, Mavericks) suddenly started to display some (not all) images with a red semitransparent overlay.
    This would occur most often in Apple applications like Finder, Preview, Safari, Mail etc.
    In the Finder's icon view with a folder full of images, some thumbnails would have the color overlay, some others wouldn't. When resizing the thumbnails the overlay would flicker on and off on various images randomly.
    Affected images would also print with the same color cast on a color printer.
    The Solution
    After a lot of trial and error I found that the issue was caused by a custom libpng library, installed by Homebrew (http://brew.sh).
    It was probably installed much earlier than this this issue started, maybe the library was updated that day, or something in OSX was updated triggering an incaompatibility leading to this issue.
    I'm not sure why I installed this library in the first place, most likely as a dependency needed by another recipe I since uninstalled. I could uninstall it without issues.
    Caveat: to fully uninstall a recipe, use:
         brew uninstall <recipe> --force
    in my case I did:
         brew uninstall libpng --force
    Otherwise Homebrew will reinstall the library the next time you upgrade your brew installation (which is most likely what happened in my case).
    Hope this helps at least someone.

    Hi, Chan
    Thanks for the explanation of this subject. Anyway ... there are quite a number of possibilities that something is clipped during whole process. First, some channels can be clipped off at the sensor level, than after matrix conversion to RIMM, than if EV slider is used (and even if it isn't, because there is baseline exposure value)  ... or Saturation slider ... then after correction using LUT ... and finally during conversion to sRGB / AdobeRGB / whatever ... maybe some sort of soft clipping at some of these points would be better (just my opinion)
    However, there is another highlight issue I noticed, illustrated with these two samples (Canon 400D, ACR 5.7, windows platform)
    http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4KEEDQW9
    Left picture has all default settings. On the right picture, everything is the same, except that I made a small patch with adjustment brush tool at the top left corner (far from the center of the picture) and changed exposure value of the adjustment brush to a nonzero value (other adjustment brush sliders don't produce similar strange effect). Appearance of the area of the Sun changes abruptly and looks strange. Test with my HSV image from previous post shows that all colors are affected (not only yellow)
    Also, there is a similar abrupt change in the highlight behavior if I lower the global EV slider from -0.25 to -0.30 (0.25 is baseline exposure value for this camera), or if I raise Recovery slider from 6 to 7 (which seems to have similar effect). I think these two issues are unrelated to clipping in sensor color space vs. RIMM
    Thanks

  • Jpeg images and color gamuts

    When I make a jpeg image in my camera, it is assigned the adobe rgb gamut.
    What happens when it is imported in LR? Does the gamut change to prophoto automatically?
    When I print the jpeg do I have to specify the color gamut? If it isn't prophoto rgb, there is no place to specify the gamut?
    Can anyone explain?
    Andy

    Yes it is. You might want to read up in the manual about still importing and also about audio sampling rates.

  • How to set color space to JPEG image with Java advance Imaging

    How to set color space to JPEG image with Java advance Imaging.
    is there any API in JAI which support to set color space.

    I'm definately no guru, but this is how you can change it.
    CTRL + ALT + Click on the part of the component that you want to change. This brings up the Hidden Dom Inspector, background of component will be surrounded with a red outline (Make sure the red outline is surrounding the part of the tabset you want to change), Now you go to properties sheet and click the ellipses next to rules property this will pop up a dialog you look in this list (At the top) to see the default style classes that are affecting the rendering of the component outlined in red. (You will be able to select different sections of a single component) then you just rewrite the style class that you want to change in your Stylesheet (You will not find the styleclass that you want to change because it is a part of your theme .jar but as long as you name it exactly the same and place in your stylesheet it will override the theme .jar style classes) it's actually very easy -- you were right should be a piece of cake for a guru. Don't have the link handy but you can check out Winston's Blog on changing Table Formatting to get this information...It is EXTREMELY useful if you want your apps to have a custom look and not default that comes with Creator Themes.
    Hope this helps you out God knows others have helped me alot!

  • My manipulated images come out with a green color cast and poor quality

    I manage my photos with ACDSee, but use Photoshop CS3 for much of my editing. The image leaves ACDSee with rich true colors, and while I'm editing in Photoshop the image looks like I want it. But when I save the image and view it in ACDSee, it now is faded, has a green color cast and looks faded, dull and shallow. What do you think is happening? Thanks.  Rickrans

    One other place to look....  If you shoot raw images, there's a separate configuration for the color space the Camera Raw converter delivers its results in.  Click the little link at the bottom-center of the Camera Raw dialog.  If you want to work in the sRGB color space, change it as shown here:

  • Question about Using BufferedImage to create jpeg image

    I was puzzled by a problem about using of class BufferedImage. I want to dynamicly create a jpeg image with bufferedimage, the step is as follows:
    1.create a new bufferedImage object:
    BufferedImage image = new BufferedImage((int)imageWidth, (int)imageHeight, BufferedImage.TYPE_BYTE_BINARY);
    2.get the Graphics object from image:
         Graphics graphics = image.getGraphics();
    3.then draw string and any other graphics with graphics
    4.create jpeg image:
         try {
         FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("c://test.jpg");
         BufferedOutputStream bos = new BufferedOutputStream(fos);
         JPEGImageEncoder encoder = JPEGCodec.createJPEGEncoder(bos);
         encoder.encode(image);
         bos.close();
         } catch(Exception e) {
         System.out.println(e);
    The problem is that :
    if the graphic width and height is large enough(in my computer, the largest number is 4000*4000,of course it can be 6000*2000, but the total number is limited.), step 1 will be error: OutofMemory!
    I'm worrying about it all day and night.Even though I try all my best,I still can't find what's wrong with it.
    Can you help me--the helpless one?

    Right. 4000x4000x3bytes ("true" color) is 64 mbytes. Your jpeg file might be smaller of course, but it's still going to be a behomoth. The best thing to try is increasing your java runtime size... I've never had to do this, but you can probably find it on this site somewhere
