Lightroom workflow to correct color of my videos. Anybody knows?

Hi, Iam a photographer and I am studying video production. I love the Lightroom color correction because some distortions can be fixed easily with that HSL (Hue, Saturation and Lighting) controls and that Magenta x green and blue x yellow sliders. And another great functions inside Lightroom. Ive tried to create a workflow exporting jpeg from my footage, importing to the lightroom, treating the images and then importing the jpegs sequence to premier, but Its not a good solution. Anybody knows if there is a good solution or some plugin to premiere where I can find the lightroom color controls to video color correction? I love the Lightroom workflow to treat my photos and I would love if I can treat my videos without limitations under Lightroom. Thanks

in Photoshop you can save an adjustment layer as a Color Lookup Table (something like that) then import that as through Lumetri in Premiere. So, I do not know about Lightroom, but why wouldn't it have similar. Only thing with Photoshop was that of the 4 formats of the color lookup, one turned the image checkerboard and a second might have issues as well. I didn't experiment fully with it, just enough to know that it is there and a cool tool.

Photoshop Elements 11/ Missing Color Profile CMYK - Does anybody know why + what to do?

I am missing the color profile CMYK in the elements software I use.
I need to convert some data form RGB to CMYK.
Is there a setting I may change?
Thanks for helping
Regards,
ChrizB

If you only need to do this once, the easiest thing is to ask your printer to do it for you. They'll probably charge you something, but at least it will be done right. Properly converting to CMYK is considerably more complex than, say, converting from sRGB to Adobe RGB. There are a number of third party options for doing this--I think irfanview will do it in windows, and preview does it for macs, but those are pretty basic conversions that don't allow you to adjust for out of gamut colors.

I have a new notebook with windows8. When I open an image in photoshop it is not the correct color.

The icon is the correct color and if I open the image in another app it is the correct color. How do i fix this?

Good day!
What is the »correct color« and how do you know that?
In which other applications does the image look different?
What are the Edit > Color Settings in Photoshop and does the image have an ICC profile embedded or not (you can set the Info Panel’s Panel Options to display »Image Profle«)?

Premiere Pro CS6 and CC with bad quality and incorrect colors in output video

Hi everyone!
I'm frustrated with my results after exporting a video with Adobe Premiere Pro (both CS6 and CC).
The color of the video output is slightly different to the original file (i've checked if it was a problem with my video player, but no, i've tested the video with WMP and others with no success).
Also the video quality is a little bad compared to the original file (i even tried to use frame blending once).
Notice that i'm not using any effects or anything alike, and i'm a begginer in video editing.

I'm exporting the video using almost the same parameters from the original file.
Here's a screen shot of my settings in Premiere:
As you can see in the printscreen, the settings only differ from the original file parameters in the bit rate (which i raised a little),
the TV standard (which i have no ideia what it changes), the level of H.264 (which i raised from 4.0 to 4.1, 5.0 and 5.1), and the bit rate encoding (which i've tried using CBR, VBR 1, and VBR 2).
Just for my curiosity...why these numbers in orange are so extensive? I mean, the original video is only 01:35:30:06 in final output (which is correct).
Notice that i do not use key frame distance (as i don't know what it does).
If i'm doing something wrong, please tell me.

Well if i do that, the video will raise up GBs larger (and that is really bad).
Why is it really bad?
Its a fact of digital life. High datarate = quality.
example ...even the Youtube preset is in the 8mpbs area.
...and you are exporting 1 hr 35mins of media.

Correct Color Profile in Keynote '09 (or '08)

I have been tasked with putting together a photography presentation for six photographers. The presentation will be projected (with two Epson projectors and six color monitors) in Keynote ’09 (and ’08) for a one-night photographer’s gallery exhibit. One of the concerns raised by one of the photographers who has used Keynote (not sure the version, but probably ’08 or earlier) is that there is a "*color shift*" that occurs from the original saved image. All images are exported from (Apple) Aperture, (Adobe) Lightroom, and (Adobe) PhotoShop CS3-CS5 using the Adobe RGB 1998 Color Profile.
All photographers (including myself) are working with Aperture, Lightroom, or PhotoShop and are saving their final images with the Adobe RGB (1998) ICC color profile.
Is there a way to ensure “correct” color profiles are used in Keynote ’09 (and ’08)? If so, how is this done?
Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to the discussions, anthonysan.
There isn't a way within the program to do it, however it IS possible I think. I'll give you some tips to start down that path, and, if you have any questions, just post back here.
First, go to Keynote preferences and, under General Preferences, choose "Save new documents as packages". Next, create a new document (white theme), change the Master to blank, and place three rectangles on the first slide, each with an EASY to define color. (By "easy to define" I mean pick colors that you would be able to discern numerically, for example 100% red, 100% black, 100% green, etc.) Finally, double click inside each shape and add some unique text. I'm using "firstone", "secondone", "thirdone".
Now, save that document, then right-click (two-finger-click, control-click) on it's icon in the Finder. You should see an option to Show Package Contents. Select that and you should then see a few folders and some files. You're looking for index.apxl.zip. Double click that one to unzip it, then put the .zipped version in the trash (Keynote can read either just as well). Now, you should have an index.apxl file.
When you double-click the index.apxl file, you'll have to choose to open it with TextEdit, then search for your unique text "firstone".
Things get more detailed from this point, but it does lead to a potential solution. Let me know if you're following so far, and we can look at the mysteries within they Keynote file

Lightroom preview and JPG color difference.

I'm a Photographer. Using Windows Vista and a brand new Dell 24" HC LCD monitor. Freshly calibrated with a MonacoOPTIX calibration kit. The profile generated is my default monitor profile. After calibration, I looked at some of my past photographic work and the colors looked very saturated to me. And the images all looked a bit brighter as well. I was working in an uncalibrated environment before so I figured thats why my pictures looked different. I shoot in RAW (Canon) and I always (and still do) export all of my work as sRGB.
Yesterday I was working on a personal image and noticed my preview in Lightroom looks a bit different than the output in JPG. I verified my settings and I am outputting to sRGB. I'm expecting my preview and and the JPG to match almost exactly.
See the screenshot here: http://lifesharephoto.smugmug.com/photos/256400141_Qy7np-L-1.jpg
Notice the web version is much brighter and more staurated?
Why would that be?

Lou, you are using a non-managed browser. No matter how much you calibrate, it will not show you correct color, even if you use sRGB. This is because your monitor's gamut will differ slightly from sRGB. IE7 is not color managed, even though Microsoft promised it would be a long time ago. Currently only Safari is color managed. Firefox 3.0 beta can color manage if you enable it in the settings. There is unfortunately nothing you can do about it and you have to realize that even if you do everything right, your audience will see different colors. They will all cluster around what you saw in Lightroom though and you should absolutely not trust your IE7 display, even if you calibrate. Only your monitor has that specific response. Other people will see more saturated greens, or more saturated blues, or the opposite. There is no predicting. It will all cluster more or less around sRGB though.

Why are colors of embedded videos opened with acrobat different to original files?

Hello,
I generated a videoclip in Premiere CC in different formates ( mp4, mov; flv.... ) and embedded it in an Indesign document. From there I generated an interactive PDF. Opening the file in Acrobat, the colors of the video are different as in a videoplayer like quicktime. Opening the pdf in a browser like safari, the colors are correct. Alternative I embedded the video with acobat pro but the result was the same like before. What is the reason for this problem? Do I have to mange some special colorsetting in the video or are there some presettings to be done in Acrobat?

If you open System Preferences / Displays / Color can
you change the color profile to others in the list?
Or, do you get a "beep" and no change?
I can change the color profile.

HP Photosmart premium not printing correct colors or contrast on photo paper.

My HP Photosmart Premium does not print correct colors or contrast level on photographs using photo paper. This happens with using most any application and setting the paper type to one of the photo papers... By using MS PhotoAlbum and selecting the photo tray then forcing "regular paper", I can get a somewhat decent print (this trick only works with MS PhotoAlbum). When I setup to any of the "photo paper" types, I do not get correct colors or contrast levels (even if the print preview looks good).
I have the same issue with 8.5 x 11 inch photopaper. Unless I select "regular paper" as the paper type, I get incorrect color and contrast (even if the preview looks good). The ICC "Color Profiles" look to be OK (at least the titles are correct).
Anyone have any ideas?

Try the troubleshooting steps in this page. My bet would be the Photo cartridge (the black with the bow tie symbol) is out of ink. This is only used when photo paper is selected, for plain paper printing the regular black cartridge is used.

PNG transparent image would not show correct color

I am trying to draw some colored string on an transparent png image (24 bit color). I tried to draw red, blue and green color
string. The string using blue and green color showed ok. But string drew in red color showed as black. Any idea what's wrong?
My test png file is saved from photoshop with transparency checked
and png-24.
Here is my test program
import java.io.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.image.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.imageio.*;
public class TestPng {
public static void main(String args[]) {
try {
String imageFileName = args[0];
BufferedImage bi = ImageIO.read(new File(imageFileName));
Graphics2D g = (Graphics2D)bi.getGraphics();
g.setColor(Color.red);
g.drawString("Testing1", 10, 10);
g.setColor(Color.green);
g.drawString("Testing2", 10, 25);
g.setColor(Color.blue);
g.drawString("Testing3",10,45);
ImageIO.write(bi, "png", new FileOutputStream(args[1]));
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

Found the problem. The color pallate of the original png image does not include the red color. Once added the red to the original png image color pallate. The program can show the correct colors.

Png files not exporting in correct color code

Hey everyone I've had this continual problem in illustrator with png exports, for some reason my png's export with duller, less saturated colors than what I am seeing inside of illustrator. However, my jpegs export correctly. I've been able to figure out that my png's are not exporting with the correct color code (sRGB), even if this option is selected in "save for web" options. I have been having to open the png's in Mac's preview program or opening them into photoshop and exporting with sRGB profile embedded from there. I figure there must be some setting I don't have selected within illustrator. Document color mode is RGB, working space is sRGB, "Color Management Policy" is preserve embeded profile, and under the "Assign Profile" option it is set to working space RGB: sRGB. Any suggestions?

I don't think there is anything wrong with the color management you are using.
I suspect that you are using Illustrator CS6.
Although you can specify that the image has to be converted to sRGB (and it probably does), the profile is not embedded in the file.
The latest CC version does, although you cannot check a box: ICC Profile like you can when saving JPEG.
I think the reasoning behind this could have been: "PNG is a web file format. and Browsers cannot be trusted with colormanagement, most of them think that all files are sRGB, so why embed the profile..."
So you did the right thing by assigning the profile in Photoshop.

Need correct color profile settings in windows....????

Help! Just replaced the motherboard and now all the color profiles in photoshop are wrong.... Does anyone know the correct settings to choose in windows or to choose for the graphics card... it's an AMD Phenom II. I open Adobe Bridge and immediately the previews lose their color which tells me this is not the correct profile the computer is telling photoshop... can anyone help, please????

operating system is windows 7 and the monitor is profiled correctly.... and these are raw images, so no, cannot view in another program.... and they look the same in ps as in bridge. however, i called adobe and they told me it sounds like a graphics card issue, so i'm going to amd's website to update and reinstall drivers.... not sure what else to do....

Not enugh information. Which OS? Is your monitor profiled? Can you see your images in any other program, eg Windows Picture Viewer?
What happens if you open your images in PS instead of Bridge?

You need to ask the printing service provider. Dealing with color totally depends on the printing process involved and of course the machines used.

Lightroom 4 Lens Corrections Profile for the new AF-S Nikon 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR

When can we get a Lightroom 4 Lens Corrections Profile for the new AF-S Nikon 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6 G ED VR lens?

Based on the past - probably next version. If not, then the one after that.
PS - That is unofficial info, and may be wrong...

Try this:
Make sure IOS is updated to latest version
Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings
(no media or data will be deleted from the device, this will only take a minute).
If that doesn't work then backup and then restore the device as new.
And if none of that works, take it to an apple store or call apple support
