Losing resolution, turning pink - library to develop

when i switch from "library" to "develop", the photo loses resolution by about 50%, and the whites and blues shift towards pink. this has never happened before. i am using a new computer, but it is still a macbook pro. can anyone help me fix this issue?

I'd start by creating a new catalog and importing some of these images and see if the behavior continues. If so, please post some screen shots and let us know more about the files you are working with.

How do I import images from my hard drive without losing resolution? My original files after import are significantly smaller. What should I do?

Hi Keith, and all others chiming in, I do have the correct option checked in advanced settings telling iPhoto to copy the images into the library. What is a refernced library? Perhaps this is where I am getting confused. I exported my entire photo library from an old iMac5 to my external hard drive, from there I attempted to import the entire library to my new iMac. Am I overlooking an obvious and easy way to import from the hard drive to the new iMac--I dragged the entire photo pholder from the hard drive to the open window of iPhoto on the new computer. Now, I only get preview file sizes in iPhoto, unless I have my external drive open. Perhaps I need to import the original images from the hard drive in a different way...?! (This is making me feel pretty stupid.)

I am losing resolution when I resize or rotate a line I have drawn.

Can anyone help me? I have been using photoshop to turn my drawings into digital stamps for crafting. I always import my image, then with the pen tool I re-draw it in photoshop. Usually I can take say my eye I had drawn and resize it or rotate it and it's perfect. Lately I try any of that ant the lines will get very pixelated or lose resolution making them super fuzzy and ugly. Does anyone know why this is now happening?
I used to be able to duplicate it and flip it to have two perfect eyes, but again when I do that now same thing happens, it gets horribly pixelated.
I have attached two examples...
Any helps is very much appreciated. I am having the worst time trying to figure out why it's doing this all of the sudden. It has never done that before. I have always been able to duplicate, rotate, and resize without it losing resolution or had the lines so fuzzy or pixelated.
Thank you,
Betty

Hi again,
Did you mean screen shots of my settings? Maybe that would help?
These are all my settings, and each time I draw a line and flip it or rotate it, it starts to lose resolution. It is also now doing it when I take the finished file and place it into a "guide" file for making a watermark catalog image. Once I shrink the photo it looses resolution really badly.

Library and Develop Module Photos Appear Different

I am using Lightroom 4.4 Dell Ultrasharp monitor is calibrated. I own and have been referring to Scott Kelby's Lightroom4 book for digital photographers. I recently took some photos of my daughters prom. She had on a beautiful reddish orange dress. I notice that the dress appears very red in the develop module, however, appears a bit more orange in the library module. The change is very noticeable between the modules. The dress also appears similar to the library module view (a bit more orange) when viewed on the web via Flickr utilizing Chrome, Firefox, or IPad. It also appears the same when exported to a JPEG file.
I have done some experimenting and have determined that this color change effect appears to be very noticeable utilizing the Adobe Standard Camera Calibration Profile. It does not happen (at least to a noticeable extent) with the others such as Camera Standard where the dress appears a bit more orange in both the library and develop module. I do, however, like the appearance of the Adobe Standard profile better and this happens to be the default profile as well.
I have also noticed that the dress looks more orange when Soft Proofing is enabled. The change happens immediately when the check box is enabled. Checking the box makes the photo appear similar to the Library module view. Enabling Soft Proofing does make noticeable that there is Destination Gamut Warning which mainly involves the dress which is the point of interest, however, there is no warning with the Monitor Gamut Warning. I am intending to place the photos on the web at this time via Flickr. I will be printing several later so will be worrying about the printer gamut at that time. But for now, I would like to get the photos on the web looking as intended.
Having the photos look so different in the Library and Develop Modules is very frustrating. I am hoping that there is a simple setting or fix for this problem that I am experiencing. Your assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Victoria. Thanks for your reply. Re the saturation of the yellows, an example of a photo which shows the behaviour is that of a sunflower shot in direct sunlight. So a typical bright yellow. The raw files are from a D7000, so I have several "camera" profiles to choose from in LR4, in addition to the default Adobe Standard. None of the camera profiles show a difference between Library & Develop. Also, the Adobe Standard profile only shows the described behaviour when yellows are present. I can find plenty of examples where the photos are identical between the two modules when there are no yellows in the shot. I doubt this is a monitor profiling problem, given that it affects just the Adobe Standard profile, however I will try re-profiling. My U2412M display is not wide gamut. I posted here because the issue I am seeing sounds very similar to the original poster's. We're both using Dell Ultrasharp displays, although that could be a coincidence. I'll see if I can get some screen grabs from my Mac and upload here later today. I'm on my Windows 7 laptop at the moment.

Update:
I have a pair of screen grab JPEGs from the Mac which I'm happy to share, however the upload here in the forum is limited in size. Any suggestions how I can best share the full size JPEGs?
Re-profiling hasn't changed anything. I'm pretty sure my profile is good. Ambient natural lighting, monitor warmed up, etc. Native white point used as always. The difference between profiled and unprofiled is very subtle. The U2412M appears to be pretty accurate at factory settings.
If I turn soft proofing on in Develop I see the less saturated image which matches Library. Turning it off again and the differences return.
LR4 on my Windows 7 laptop doesn't have the same problem. The screen on that is calibrated with the same Spyder3, however the laptop's screen is of a mediocre quality compared to the U2412M.
Found another thread where the poster is having the same problems with yellows, this time in LR5.

Color shift between Library and Develop module

Hi,
I recently noticed a color shift between in the image when going from the library to the develop module. Yes, I know this is mentioned in the FAQ, but I did not find the solutions given there to be satisfactory.
Let me explain what happens: I have taken Photos with my Canon EOS 300D, in Jpeg mode with Color Space in the Camera set to AdobeRGB. The photos I am talking about were taken with Tungsten light with auto white balance and have a distinct orange color cast. I use Windows XP and view my Photos on a LCD Display calibrated with the Pantone Huey system. The Lightroom Library Module and Photoshop CS2 both display the original image almost identically (there are no changes applied inside Lightroom or Photoshop, I view the original image in both applications). Photoshop is set to use the Adobe RGB Color space as its working Color space, Softproofing is switched off. However, when I switch to the Develop Module, the colors (especially the orange hues) shift very noticably toward pink. I can only assume that the Colorspace conversion or maybe some implicit soft proof used differs between the modules. So, to restate the problem: If I switch back and forth between Library and Develop, without changing anything and in 1:1 view to avoid errors introduced by different zooming methods, the colors shift quite drastically back and forth.
I have to say that this is really quite annoying. The whole point for me to use the develop module is to use it to make adjustments to the colors, and for this to work properly I have to see the same colors in both modules and in Photoshop. There is no point in correcting a pink color cast away in Develop that is not even there in either the library module or Photoshop (and that would then have a stronger orange tint because I tried to counter the pink tint in develop).
So this leads me to the final question: Is it possible to tell Develop to use the exact same color settings as the Library Module? Or is there another way to compensate for the color shift?
I hope I was clear in what happens and what I tried to do. If it helps I can gladly provide a sample photograph that clearly illustrates the point.
Thank you in advance for your help,
Daniel

Thanks for your comments, Don and Fred. I hope that this issue will be worked on soon.
Fred, I have set the Preview Quality to High, but it doesn't seem to make any differences concerning the color shift. I have investigated this matter further by now and made the following observations:
*The color shift is a lot less noticable on my laptop (the laptop screen is also color profiled). On my laptop the change is more of a subtle shift in contrast than in color. This might be caused by the smaller color gammut of my laptop display though.
*I have uploaded a testimage so that others can check if this shift occurs at their workstations too - after all, it might be a misconfiguration of my color management software, though I doubt that (because Adobe already states that library and develop render different previews). I would be interested if the color shift I describe is noticable at other workstations too. The link to the testimage: http://www.danyx.com/colorshift.jpg (permission to use the image to test the color reproduction is of course granted hereby).
Thanks for your help, I hope Adobe will listen soon,
Daniel

Why do RAW Images Turn Pink?

When I take unedited RAW images to an external harddrive, they turn pink. The RAW images have there true colors in the PSE Organizer, but whether I "Export as a New File' or drag & drop the images to the new file in the External Harddrive they turn pink. The JPEG image twin shows its true colors in the external harddrive.
This did not happen until I downloaded the RAW converter Version 7.4 update about 10 days ago. Now it happens consistently.
Any ideas what is going on and/or what I can do about it?

This isn't an easy problem to solve, I believe! So THANK YOU everyone for trying to help me out here!! I really appreciate that!
I haven't tried to create a new Windows account on my computer yet, because I first want to share something interesting I discovered today.
But before I share that, I want you to know the following:
- All the images I'm using are located in the same folder where they have always been, on my internal harddrive. I've been using those images a dozen times from the exact same location, and in the same InDesign version (and also the same Photoshop version CS6 64-bit)!
- I've tried to change some pixels in the image, save under another name and replace it, but it didn't help.
- The page I've given you earlier is just ONE of several in a journal I'm making. Three more images in this journal turns out wrong in the PDF. I've created a new document with all the four images, and I've uploaded a package of the InDesign document to the web page, for you to check.
Today I discovered that the result of the PDF export varies if I change PDF Export Preset. Take a look at the PDFs I uploaded to the web page.
1. If I export using a low resolution preset, all the images are shown wrong, and there's a dark gray color.
2. If I export using a high resolution preset, all the images are shown correctly.
3. If I export using the print settings I've always used when sending it to the Print House, some of the images are shown wrong, and the gray color is made with stripes.
Does this give you a clue?

Screen turned pink

the monitor of my laptop has turned pink. I can see the pages and videos and everything but not in the normal resolution, its as if there is a transparent pink curtain is placed on the monitor. i hav recently put a new 1tb HD while previously it was installed with 500gb HD, which crashed, so the replacement was done. has this by any chance affected the display?

Hi ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A great place where you can find solutions for your issues, with help from the community!
I came across your post about the Notebook, and wanted to assist you! I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion g6-2226tu Notebook and issues with the pink screen displaying after a HDD repair. Here is a link to a document that will help you troubleshoot the image on screen flickers, has lines or distorted colors. Have you connected a monitor to the Notebook to check if it happens there as well?If this does not display on the Monitor it could be a connection issue with the LCD screen. Please let me know how this goes. Thanks.

Display Turns Pink

Yesterday for no apparent reason when I logged back into Yosemite after my computer went to sleep, everything turned pink. I am not the only one to have this problem. It has been observed in Mavericks as far back as July of this year. Though I am happy it is not an issue with my monitor I would still like to correct this issue. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hey there William,
It sounds like your monitor is taking on a pink hue when waking from sleep. I would use these steps from the following article, named:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays - Apple Support
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
Reset the resolution
Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Images once exported (RAW) do not show up in catalog or previous imorts not film strips in library nor develop. They are in the files to which they were exported

Not sure how to get this going seems rather redundant.
In the last 4 - 5 days I have imported several hundred RAW files, done some minimal post processing and exported these images to various files (I have verified that the images are in the files to which I exported them). These images to no show up in previous imports nor do they show up in library nor develop film strips. How or can I get them to show up for additional review and possible manipulation. I recently did this same operation with largle JPEG files and all went well.
I did initially have some problems with LR recognizing the RAW files but some how was able to overcome that ( perhaps a card issue they are old card and the JPEGs were on a new card hmmmm!!??)
Any ways I supposed I can reimport them from their current files but that is a redundant pain. Suggestions would be apprediated

One possibility is that you accidentally opened a new/different catalog.
Look at File->Open Recent and open the catalogs shown there and see if your photos appear

Image appears different in Library and Develop modes?

I have an image that appears different depending on whether it is in the Library Module or the Develop Module. Only this one image does this. The develop module version is the one I want to work on in Photoshop. However, when I click on "Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS3" the resulting tiff that opens in PS has an appearance that matches that of the Library module version of the image. It makes no difference whether I click on "Edit in PS CS3" from the Library or Develop module, the tiff always matches the Library Module version of the raw file.
Any ideas what might be causing this?
Thanks.
J.

How are you calibrating your monitor? The only real difference between the Library and develop module is that the Library module shows a preview that is generally stored in the adobeRGB color space. The Develop module uses a color space based on prophotoRGB primaries and can encompass any color your camera can capture. It is possible that your green falls outside of adobeRGB and gets clipped in the library preview, while in the develop module it shows them. This is only possible to see if you have a wide gamut monitor, or when your calibration software generates a perceptual rendering intent. If you export and you do not use the prophotoRGB color space, you will loose these colors.

Apple TV turns Pink via HDMI?

Hey all, I just installed AppleTV for in a client's home theatre. He's using a Denon AVR-3808ci which has a plethora of HD sources going into it and everything works well. Last week I installed AppleTV via HDMI and after about an hour of usage, the main menu screen turned pink? We changed sources on his amp, then flipped back to AppleTV and it was gone, until 10 minutes later, he went to youtube, then came back to the main screen and it was pink again.
I swapped out the HDMI cable, which is a high quality 1.3 rated cable by the way, and it went away but came back again when he changed sources on the amp? Has anyone experienced this? I searched the forum for similar issues and saw one "green screen of death" thread so I was curious is anyone else experiencing this HDMI video sync issue? Thanks for reading.

Mine is a bit more conditional than yours but I have seen this happen.
I have a Vizio 60" Plasma Which I connect a variety of sources to. Problem with it is, the remote does not have discrete selection to the 4 HMDI ports. You can only select them with the HDMI button and scroll until you get to the correct port. I use a Harmony Universal Remote and this just was not working for me.
Anyway, to solve this I purchased an HDMI 5 port switch. I have an Xbox 360, PS3, Upscaling DVD Player, HD Cable Tuner, and the Apple TV connected to it.
It is not uncommon, and almost near consistent that when I switch to the ATV from another source, the first few seconds will show a pink screen. It will then clear and be fine for the rest of the time.
I had this same issue when I had a Media Center PC outputting a DVI signal converted to HDMI. This was consistently happening and I finally disconnected it because of this.
My advice would be to first try directly connecting the ATV to the tv/monitor and seeing if you get the same problem. If not, you can almost be sure the problem is with the Denon receiver and not with the ATV. In my experience with HDMI, problems like these are almost always a product of the switch.

Screen turns pink and flickers

Hi everyone,
I've got a little problem:
My screen randomly turns pinks and then starts flickering and then a few moments later it stops for a few minutes and then begins the process again. I have no idea how it began. I have a MacBook Pro 10.6.8.
It would be great if anyone knew how to solve this answer.
With regards,
Jean-Pierre

5-day old iPad screen turns Pink & more

Hi,
I've just bought 2 iPads 3G, 64GB while on a trip to London, UK. I now came back to my country and one of the iPad just turned pink.
Because of the bulk, I discarded the iPad packaging/boxes before I flew back, and wonder if I can return the defective iPad without its box?!
Any thoughts on this is greatly welcomed!
(To be honest, I would expect a working product when it cost 700 GBP, and has an Apple logo...)
Cheers,
Z0A2010

As far as I'm aware the warranty is worldwide. Whilst in the Apple store in Regent Street here in London several times recently I've seen a lot of foreigners buying iPads which I doubt would be the case if the warranty was country specific. I think the only exception when it comes to Apple products is the iPhone which has a warranty only valid in the country of origin.
