LR 1.1 unwanted color or tint shift

I'm using Lightroom 1.1 (haven't downloaded 1.3.1 update yet) on a Windows XP (SP2) system, and all of a sudden the color/tint of many of the photos in my library have taken on a yellowish or greenish tint. This seems to have occurred after a recent import in which I didn't initially import my RAW files (CR2) into LR, but into the Canon Browser EX software first.
After importing this latest folder from my pictures folder into LR, I've noticed that many of my previously imported photos (some developed/modified, many not yet) have taken on a tint that makes the whites into a yellowish/brownish tint, and the blues have become somewhat greenish. Some imported folders appear to be unaffected, or the problem is not noticeable (those taken in low light at concerts). Nothing in the develop settings indicates any changes that would've added this tint to these photos.
Finally, when viewing the same photos in Canon DPP or Browser EX or in Windows Explorer, the same photos appear totally fine, with the proper tint/hues.
I recently purchased a new monitor (Samsung BW 216), but this shouldn't be a problem as the pictures appear perfect when viewed using these other programs or just as a screensaver or background.
Any ideas??

> recently purchased a new monitor (Samsung BW 216)
How are you calibrating that monitor? Lightroom will exacerbate problems with certain monitor profiles. Especially canned profiles from monitor manufacturers seem to cause major problems because they often have a corrupt perceptual rendering intent. If you're not calibrating your monitor with a hardware calibrator, you need to start doing so as it is simply impossible to get good color in any program without it. In the mean time, delete any profile that is shown in the color management pane of the monitor's properties to see if that will fix the problem. The fact that other programs look normal is because they do not color manage at all, so a bad monitor profile will not show up in those programs. Their color will also always be incorrect because of that. The only way top get correct color is to calibrate your monitor and use a color managed app.
>haven't downloaded 1.3.1 update yet
Do so as soon as you can. Many problems were fixed in the two major version updates.

  • Slight Color and Quality Shift when viewing RAW files for first time in Library Module.

    Hello,
    I have been shooting RAW for a while and have notice that after I import the images and then start to view them in the Library Module I will see a slight color and quality shift - almost looks like a white balance shift but not quite.   I was thinking that perhaps there was some automatic preset being applied but I don't have any presets at all.
    I am shooting with a Canon 1DX as well as 7D.  I have not checked to see if I get this situation with the 7D, but I know for sure that I get it with the 1DX.
    Today I was reviewing some images in Bridge and decided to open one of them in Camera RAW.   At that time I discovered that the camera's Image Style Settings were available, Faithful, Standard, Portrait, etc.  I noticed that the images did not have one of the camera styles applied to them but rather the Adobe Standard Style. At that point from within RAW I selected one of the camera's styles and bingo thats the kind of shift I am seeing when I first view an image in LR4 Library.
    So as far as I can tell the RAW images are getting the Adobe Standard style applied in LR.   I have no idea if this is a default behavior of if I have done something to cause it.  I'm also thinking that perhaps LR does not necessarily apply the Camera's Styles automatically even though the particular style has been set in the camera -- perhaps is not imported as part of the metadata during the import and thus defaults to the Adobe Standard.
    I guess what I need to know is a few things and I hope someone can educate this newbie! 
    1. Should I expect LR4 to apply the Style as set from the camera automatically or not at all?
    2. Can I prevent LR from applying the Adobe Standard Style and apply no style?
    3. Can I cause LR to apply the Style as set in the camera for the particular image to be appied automatically upon import?
    Thank you for any guidenace you can offer.  Of course if you need additional information or clarification please let me know.
    Scott

    That sort of describes it and may be exactly what is happening.  I have a shoot tonight and will pay closer attention to the process and behavior when I import.
    It is the full image that I see the shift on though.  Its not that the thumbnail and the full size image look different.  It the full size image looking one way and then shifting in front of my eyes.   
    What is frustrating is that I typically find that the image before the shift is better than what appears after the shift, so I find myself always chasing to get back to where it was and because its gone I'm chasing an invisible ideal, so to speak.   Ahhh...isnt that the life of a photographer though!
    It seems like its the last step in the render process -- if I could just figure out what it is and stop it I could finally figure out if I really care or not.  Its just so quick its tough to tell if indeed the first appearance is better.
    I'll feedback some more information when I get a better handle on this.
    Thanks for the reference.

  • Camera raw 8.7 color and contrast shifts when file opened in ps 6

    camera raw 8.7 color and contrast shifts when file opened in ps 6

    Thanks ssprengel for the suggestions and running a side by side yourself. I went through all my settings and applied your suggestions and did a side by side each time. I even uninstalled the entire creative suite on my system then reinstalled and updated and I still get the same outcome. It was fine yesterday with the previous version of ACR. It seems like the updated version is not showing the image preview in any color space. When I switch the color space in the workflow options the histogram changes but it doesn't seem to affect the preview window. And yes the preview button was checked on it was just when I was using the screen grab tool in windows it took focus away from the application so that is why the settings appear grayed out. I have attached more screen grabs below illustrating all my settings. Also here is some system info if anyone out there has a similar setup and would be willing to test.

  • Prores to color contrast+sat shift please please help

    Hi,
    I'm using my macbookpro monitor throughout this problem.
    I have a sequence of shots in prores 422 format that look great in quicktime etc. I've imported them to final cut (7) where they look fine (same prores settings) and then sent them to color. In preferences color is set to render as same settings as the shots.
    When i view the shots in color they are brighter and more saturated, when i render them out without a grade and watch in quicktime (7.6.4) they are brighter with more sat (ie the same as how they appeared in color). When i render the exact same original shots that i sent to color out of final cut (same prores settings throughout) and watch them in quicktime they are fine. Both are rendering out the same shots without any changes yet they look completely different. Color is really screwing up the shots. What is going on? This renders color useless to me and it's really frustrating me. I can't believe it. Thanks for any help or advice you can give.

    thankyou very much for replying.
    However, do you have an idea why when exporting from final cut using 'export quicktime movie' (using the same settings as original clip throughout) i get the same brightness and saturation shift as color, whereas i don't get these shifts when using 'export using quicktime conversion'? I have the exact same settings as the original clip in both instances but one screws up the image.
    Do you know what i can do 'as the operator' to help my situation? I already have my monitor set to a custom 2.2 gamma since buying the macbook pro.
    What concerns me about color is the original file i am importing is already graded for broadcast, but simply by importing that grade into color it is shifting the contrast and saturation, and then when exporting it is likewise shifted for good. This can't be right?

  • Color tint shifts constantly during isight recording

    I recently updated from a 13" aluminum MacBook to a 13" MacBook Pro. When I record the video of the isight camera, the lighting color constantly shifts from red to green to red etc. Very annoying. It didn't do this with my 1 year old MacBook. The MacBook Pro isight is terrible. I reviewed a previous post and have not been able to resolve the issue. Any suggestions? Apple Care is closed already tonight on the east coast.
    Thanks,
    Richard

    I may be answering my own inquiry. When the light source is compact fluorescent lighting of medium intensity, it appears the video camera searches for the "correct" color balance. Unfortunately, the wavelength output of low wattage compact fluorescent bulbs is vastly different from incandescent bulbs. By increasing the lighting levels in the room (turn on some other lights), the software is able to lock on a color and produces a stable color image. Using mixed fluorescent bulbs (cool & warm bulbs) can sometimes confuse the system's ability to set the best color.
    If the color constantly shifts, turn on some additional lighting. It will stabilize the results. If the final color is not optimal, there is software that can be used to shift the color to your preference.
    I hope this helps others who are experiencing the same issue. The camera has certain limitations due to size and resolution. If you want high quality video, you could always use a small HD video camera - like the new Sanyo Xacti SC1 coming out in March - to record your video.

  • Importing Photos - Unwanted Color Shift

    I'm a fairly competent self taught user of CS6. when I run into a problem I canusually source it in a text, or on Lynda.com.
    Something has started happening recently which I can't explain or remedy.
    When I import a photo, it color shifts. The red component becomes highly saturated, and the saturation of all colors increases greatly.
    I can usually make adjustments using the "hue and saturation" adjustment tool to closely approximate the original photo, but they're only close approximations. the two adjsutemtns most commonly made are decreasing the saturation and shifting the red component towards blue.
    This happens regardless of source. It can be a photo imported into CS6 from the web, or from a camera; or even a photo stored on my hard drive.
    I'm open to suggestions, even if it is a matter of restoring factory default setting.. This is really getting annoying

    Take a look at the color profile. If the image was say from a raw image that the profile was set to prorgb and you saved it as a jpg and viewed it in a browser that does not support profiles, the color will shift. Anything thats on the web should assumed to be SRGB. Getting an image from someone else, could be using a different profile. Normally when the file loads, it will ask you what to do when they don't match your current settings. But in the preferences, I believe it is possible to disable that warning.

  • Quicktime X and After Effects CS4 - Unwanted Color / Gamma shift

    Hello,
    Upon the import of ANY video footage file into After Effects CS4, there is an immediate color (I am guessing a gamma shift) difference between how the video appears in Quicktime (both X and the older player) and how it appear in the After Effects composition window.
    Footage appears to be darker in AE and lighter in quicktime, both before and after export. The gamma/color then appears roughly the same when being compressed via h.264 and uploaded to the web (the same in Safari, much darker via Firefox).
    My main concern is simply getting AE's color to match Quicktime's so that I can have as close of a match between the color I think I have created in AE, and the actual color that appears in my final output to the web.
    I have tried using all of the fixes to be found relating to gamma shifts via .h264, prores, etc. but nobody seems to have this problem with every codec, even animation. I have tried assigning color profiles in AE, matching quicktime legacy formats, etc. All of the options available in AE to no avail.
    My monitor is calibrated fine, I am using Perian, All of the latest software updates. Any advice much appreciated!

    Hi, thanks for the link. While helpful I am still having problems!
    I tried using the method described with Automator to assign a color profile to a test Animation file, created from scratch in AE and rendered out as an Animation with no color management (previously it made no difference to the quicktime gamma shift as to if I had assigned a working color space or not within AE).
    Automator only gives three color profile options, HD, SD, or PAL. I tried using HD as this is the size of video I normally work in (although I am also working in PAL), and ran Automator. I also tried using PAL and got identical results. It took about 30 seconds to finish and the result indeed looked much better in QT, and opened up in AE looking identical to a copy of the same .mov file with no color correction.
    However, there is *still some change in the image quality as it appears in QT from how it (and the original) appears in AE*.
    Original created / displayed in AE: What I am trying to maintain
    Rendered out, Automator color profile HD assigned, and opened in QT: Gamma looks good but colors slightly more saturated than original in AE.
    Rendered out with no color profile: Original problem with large gamma shift making everything bleached/washed out.
    I have a screen shot I can show you to illustrate this here:
    http://www.yousendit.com/download/THE0ek9xa0RxRTNIRGc9PQ
    While the difference is subtle you can look at the RGB numbers and see the middle example is indeed more saturated.
    Perhaps I need to use another color profile when working with the animation codec for animations created from scratch in AE to avoid this saturation shift, other than HD or PAL? Would you know of how to do this?
    Also, would you know of how to change this, and perhaps a way of changing qucktime's interpretation rules for all animation files per se, so that I do not need to go through every .mov with the animation codec and assign profiles to them?
    Many thanks for your time and sorry for being so long winded!

  • HELP White Balance Tint Shift

    My white balance brick produces a severe color shift. This just started yesterday after the ProApp 5.1 update. When I make an adjustment in the white balance brick the tint slider is all the way to the right (magenta) and shows a slight green tint. When I set the tint to 0 everything goes green. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no success. I'm just about at my last try with this program. I love everything about AP3 but I don't think I can take much more of all the issues. If anyone can offer some support I would greatly appreciate it.

  • Broken wb and magenta tint shift on all my 30D images

    Hi everybody...I know that there is another post regarding images going green...I read it all and tried to follow some of the listed suggestions but no success at all...I'm really in the middle of nowhere, don't know what to do to escape from this nightmare!.
    All my Canon 30D images in Aperture 3 shows completely broken wb and magenta tint!...
    I did not experience any of the problems during upgrading and import my previous library from Aperture 2...It was months ago...I decide to reprocess all my images because my intention was to start working and adjusting my photo after a period when I just "accumulated" them in projects and nothing else.
    it wasn't like this a month ago, honestly I can't remember at which point all this happened...one month ago I did some jpeg export from a project and the images were ok, I mean the masters and the exported jpeg. I returned to Aperture to start performing some adjustments on few images here and there in different projects...and, horrible surprise, just reviewing some images recently imported I noticed the difference between the photo in the filmstrip and the one in the viewer...
    I just run randomly on different projects and....disaster....the same broken wb and magenta tint..all of my 30D images, 350D shows correctly.
    It shows "loading" for a second and then the image is turning with a heavy magenta cast on it...if I am in split view the image in the filmstrip shows correct wb while the one in the viewer is affected by the magenta tint.
    If I press once M to show the master image I see this: for a second the image shows the correct wb then appears the magenta tint. I press M to quit the master view and the image is the same with magenta...and then again press M and there is no longer the brief "flash" showing the image with the right wb and no magenta tint.
    I tried some of the solutions listed in other threads i.e. moving/deleting the Raw Decode plist file....repair and rebuild....nothing seems to work...I can't explain how I feel...I spent a lot of time to organize folders, projects albums, and now that finally I decided to start working on my photos I found them all broken.
    This is happening on my iMac 20" alu with snow leopard 10.6.3 and the latest Aperture update 3.0.3...but also on my macbookpro 13" with the same os version and Aperture 3.0.2.
    I don't know what to do...I love Aperture, i run it for long time on my Powerbook G4 (Aperture 2.1.4) and honestly I don't even want to think about switching to another software.
    Anyone's help or suggestion are welcome. I want to fix this, I have to!.
    Bye,
    Alberto

    Hello KBeat,
    first of all a huge and sincere "Thank you!" for your considerations and suggestions!.
    Like I said in my previous post I found that some images shot with 30D now looks better...my first "samples" on the 30D images (I have around 3,500) shows that images not ever adjusted looks better, some images with adjustments done in Aperture 2 still looks good, others aren't...
    BUT...some of the bad looking images that shows the magenta shift (light or heavy to purple) also have the white balance adjustment brick selected...I just deselect it and, bam!, the images turn back to the right white balance settings....well, maybe it's still not correct but at least was the "original" one, I mean that is the image wb setting since first import two years ago.
    For this group of images, small at the moment, the additional "work" requested is to deselect the white balance adjustment brick to obtain the "old" image, ready to be processed with the new raw decoder, leading to a better result.....I really hope to find more and more of those images between those affected because it involves to deselect the brick and that's done.
    Since now I have to say that the most affected are portraits/models images where skin tones now are rendered in a way that looks ipersaturated and completely unrealistic, thanks to the magenta shift.
    Well, I can't say I'm happy with this, at least not "for free"! I mean I'll probably be happy right after some works on the images...my library at the moment is "compromised".
    It needs work, and a lot of it, and this is not good, well the immediate reaction facing this new "challenge" it's far from being something "good". I'm happy to have a small library and so the extra work forced by the "corrected" 30D files handling looks, well, limited...I want to be positive, after a very very...VERY discouraging start!
    Now, to the white bal card suggestion you gave...
    Correct me if I'm wrong or did not understand what you wrote...you think that if now I shot a white bal card with 30D, import it in Aperture and use it for the magenta shifted images the big work is done? This, lift&stamp to the rescue, could be a huge timesaver!
    Am I dreaming? Am I now into a too positive mood with this problem? Eh, eh...hope not!
    I have an image shot to a white bal card but it was taken with the 350D because of it's inability to set a temperature in-camera, in a recent shooting involving studio flash and lights I set 3200K on the 30D with the proper menu setting and shot the white bal card with the 350D to have the most consistent result....but with 350D results were good even if I set a white balance choosed from the various in-camera options (cloudy, tungsten....).
    Unfortunately I'll be abroad for work all next week, it will be impossible for me to work with my photos and playing with Aperture, today shops are closed so no white balance card...and I have lot of things to do at home, argh!.
    Well, thank again for the kind suggestions and support, I really really thank you all!.
    Of course I'll post immediately if I found something else on this matter, and to report progresses or else!.
    Bye!

  • Transparency flattening - unwanted color added to transparent PSD files (IDCS3)

    Recently (after switching to CS3) I began experiencing frustrating problems in relation to (what I think is the problem) transparency flattening.
    The problem seems to evolve in the printing process where "something" messes up the transparency by adding a 1% (typically) magenta color to the transparent flattened image. (I´m using transparent PSD-files)
    This means that the bounding box-area of the image is actually visible in print! I can see this on my own prints (tested on several in-house printers), but worse is that I´m having the same problem with the material I receive from the printing house.
    - When I check my PSD files in Photoshop there is no color but a transparent background.
    - In Indesign I´ve tried a lot of different output settings and job option files but with the same result.
    - In Acrobat my "output preview" measures no deviations, but when I (touch up tool > right click) edit image from inside Acrobat and the image file opens up in Photoshop the 1% is added.
    For now I´m dealing with the problem by adding clipping paths to my PSD files which is a pretty untenable situation!
    Apparently the problems seems to occur also on transparent .tiff filer etc.
    I´m working in CS3 on OSX and I haven´t changed my workflow whatsoever since CS2.
    The printing house is aware of the problem but haven´t experienced the problem before.

    Sounds to me like an RGB/CMYK colour space issue.
    If your image is in RGB but your InDesign document export settings are for CMYK (or vice versa) then you have Adobe converting the colours for you. Since there is a colour shift between the two colour spaces, you have no control over how the conversion happens.
    In photoshop, "white" is not the same between RGB and CMYK and I often find there is 1 or 2% magenta in the mix (just as you're finding) when going from RGB to CMYK.
    The transparency flattener function is pretty much the same as flattening the layers in photoshop - when it gets to the bottom layer you get one image with a box around it. the same in InDesign - everything that has a transparency (including images with no background) is flattened down on all the objects underneath to create a single image. If the transparent object is just on the paper then it gets a white box around it.
    I suggest you check that your images are converted to CMYK in photoshop, and that your PDF export settings in InDesign convert all colours to CMYK. then ensure you use the High Quality in the transparency flattener settings.
    Good luck!

  • Adobe colors are tinted

    I am posting this in the illustrator forums because that is the program I use the most. The issue is actually present in both illustrator and photoshop. Possibly others too, but I have not checked.
    When I create an element and alter the color to a gray it shows up tinted. For example I created a rectangle with a fill of #aaaaaa, which should be a light grey, but instead I get something closer to #94927d (as rendered by google chrome browser).
    If I save the file as a png and view it in a browser the colors appear correct. If I open the file in Windows Photo Viewer the colors appear the same as in illiustrator. Other native photo viewing apps show the colors as they appear in browsers.
    Normally I would think this was a monitor calibration issue, but the fact that the colors appear correctly in some programs and incorrectly in others has me confused.
    How do I fix this?
    Details:
    OS: Windows 8.1 x64
    Adobe programs: Illustrator CC v17.0.0 (64-bit), Photoshop CC v14.1.2 (64-bit)
    Browsers tested: Google Chrome Version 31.0.1650.57 m, Firefox 25.0.1
    Edit: I just tried re-calibrating my monitor, but everything was calibrated correctly.

    Alright, I was wrong about this being fixed. Here's a screen shot. You can see it seems like the color of the element matches the "In Web Color" and not the color actually selected(in this case #aaaaaa).

  • Weird and unwanted color gradient after Photomerge

    Hi all,
    I got an annoying problem with a weird color gradient that appears where it shouldn't. My context is, that I'm producing underwater photomosaics. I use Photomerge for merging, which works great for the often uniform seabed sediment images.
    [merge1.jpg]
    The example is 65 images, btw. After placing the images manually within Photomerge, all looks great and ready for a perfect result after rendering (see above). However, when doing so, the final merge from within Photomerge (by clicking the OK button) creates perfect smooth blending, but a weird color gradient crossing the whole mosaic. this might originate in the fact, that the individual images also are not perfect, due to the uneven lighting situation underwater. In case all images are a bit reddish at the top and yellowish at the bottom, the final gradient over the full mosaic shows that as well. So to me it looks as if Photoshop just tries to be too smart and thinks, reapplying that pattern to the whole would be a great thing to do, which it isn't of course.
    [merge2.jpg]
    I discussed this "bug" with (indeed very helpfull) Adobe staff and they recommended, to create the merge with the "Blend Images Together" option in the "Load" dialog unchecked. This creates a mult-layer document after rendering, with the images being placed properly but not blended.
    [merge3.jpg]
    From here on, Adobe staff  recommended, I shall use the "Auto Blend Layers" function (File menu), but the result is identical as image 2. Ok, then, they recommended, to uncheck "Seemless Tones and Colors" in the "Auto Blend Layers" dialog. Indeed, this gets rid of the gradient, ...
    [merge4.jpg]
    ... but shows very hard edges of the images, which get very prominent after optimizing levels:
    [merge5.jpg]
    Was that understandable? Would anyone have experienced (and solved) the same issue? Or would anyone have an idea, how this could be handled in a way, that my resulting mosaic looks as perfect with respect to the original colors as in the initial merge window before rendering it (image 1)? Maybe it's a specific Color Setting (Edit menu)? I tried a lot so far but nothing helped and I might not have tried the right thing.
    The problem appears, btw, in CS3 to CS6!
    Any help appreciated, more information on request! Many thanks,
    g

    H there,
    @TLL: you're right with what you said about the subjective element. Getting spoiled is easy, but staying ambitious is good as well. I do these mosaics since 2003, when Photomerge was part of Elements only. Then, in the first years with CS and CS2, I never had this bug with the color gradient being applied to the final merge. This started with, I guess, CS3 and I think it's due to enhancements Adobe made to the programm (making it more "intelligent"). Unfortunately, sometimes enhancements have dark sides and cause unexpected issues elsewhere. And since we are a minority (making large merges), these do not get fixed, since the majority, stitching what, 20 image panoramas of their home and garden do not suffer. Their images have strong contours and contrasts and the issue gets effective only on uniform images like underwater sediment or, in your case, landscapes shot from above. Going back to CS or CS2 is no option, since only the newer versions give me the processing power I need, also is the blending much smoother.
    I played around with gradient masks but I haven't got the right touch yet. Even if I get rid of the color differences, there will always be a brightness gradient, since borders of the images are always darker. And then, the weird gradient is a bright / dark one, not a red / yellow one. Not much better. Also, each batch job has to work for thousands of images, so has to be a compromise. I just cannot spend more than a day for a 1000 image mosaic, or a week for 6000 images, time is money on a ship (and elsewhere).
    I just think the solution would be, splitting the "Seemless tones and colors" function up into "Seemless Blending" (doing soft blending but not changing the colors) and "Seemless Color Transitions" (just dealing with the colors). And making both optional by check boxes...
    So far,
    g

  • Text Box Unwanted Color Fill ?

    I have added numerous text boxes to my design but now I'm getting a pinkish background fill in the text box.  I can change the color of the type, I can draw text boxes on different layers, but I don't know where this fill color is suddenly from.  Did I accidentally change a setting somewhere that I'm not aware of?
    Thanks,
    Greg

    Adding the Courier and MyriadPro fonts allows me to now open my document without getting a warning about fonts, although usually the warning was for MyriadPro.
    The following is kind of a journal-style entry as I note what happens when I try different things:
    I added the fonts as you suggested.  Then I closed and reopened my document.  No warning about missing typefaces this time, Helvetica Regular was default typeface, as I'd set it a bit earlier.  I can now add Placeholder Text without pink and I can apply my Character Style.  The only item that doesn't apply is the Tracking 30 setting.  I've tried to Redefine Style but it is grayed-out.
    Then I tried creating another text box and Courier T1 showed up in brackets again.  I set it to None Character Style, and the type changed to some other face.  I can't apply my Character Style  .  I selected the text and clicked on my Character Style but Courier T1 stayed there.
    If I draw a Text Box, my default Hel Reg appears.  I filled it with Placeholder Text.  Then I highlighted the text and successfully got it to take my Character Style.  Then I changed CS to None, it went to Hel Reg, then I changed it to another CS and it took, I went back and forth a couple times and then clicked on None again Courier T1 suddenly appeared.  Once that happens, all the other problems happen.  Before Courier decides to appear and my default is active, I can change Character Styles a few times before Courier appears again and I have to restart InDesign. 
    Sometimes I'll highlight the text and try adding a CS and a portion of my selection becomes pink. 
    I know this sounds disjointed, but this is the way it's behaving.  I can't predict exactly what is going to happen when, but sooner or later Courier T1 appears and I can't get my text to take my Character Style.  By the way, what is Courier T1, I added 3 different Courier fonts to my folder. 
    I hope there is a good clue somewhere in here.  I'm pretty baffled.
