LR2.2: Color Profiles NOT 5D Mark II compatible

in Lightroom 2.2, Is anyone else noticing 5D Mark II RAW files do not render accurately with the color profiles? (adobe standard, camera standard) The reds are very-very orange again.
I have a 1D Mark III, and a 5D Mark II.
The new profiles work very well with the 1D Mark III, almost matching what I see in DPP.
With the 5D Mark II, all the colors are off.
When compared with DPP, The 5D Mark II colors seem as bad as other canon cameras before the beta profiles. Reds seem orange again, etc... Although some profiles seem more accurate (like "faithful").
So Adobe... are you seeing this issue? Would it be possible to get a confirmation? I'll happily provide RAW files, with jpg conversions out of LR and DPP
thanks!

(PS. I'm a software programmer turned professional photographer, so I'd make a good beta tester! hint...hint...)

>How can you tell if Highlight tone priority was on during the shot?
You should be able to tell in DPP. I don't use DPP but I am sure it has a display of all the settings you used in your camera.
>And if Highlight Tone priority keeps lightroom from accurately rendering color, wouldn't that be a lightroom issue?
No, it is a Canon proprietary tag and Canon-proprietary technology so Adobe cannot implement it precisely. Only DPP can read and implement these settings in its RAW conversion. Nobody else can without either licensing the technology or doing some major reverse engineering (which likely will end up with you being sued by Canon). It is basically the same as underexposing the image a little and pulling it back up with a curve adjustment with a smooth rolloff at the high end.

  • Monitor color profile - not converting sRGB to local color profile.

    I used Color Eyes Pro to color calibrate my monitor.
    When I view sRGB images in FF4, they don't display properly (not converting to my local color profile). Images I save as my local profile as imgs, appear fine in FF4. This applies to both JPGs and PNGs.
    IE and Chrome have no issues with view sRGB. Local color profile imgs of course appear correct.

  • Color profiles not shown on colorsync

    Hello...
    I have been looking for a solution to this issue for the last 2 weeks without success... may be somebody knows about it ?
    Using Mac Os 10.4.11 on an Intel based Mac recently formatted (with the original cd), the color profiles existing on the folder user/library/colorsync or hd/library/colorsync does not appear on the ColorSync utility, under "profiles". So, basicaly, the ColorSync utility does not show any profile by selecting  "profiles" and, of course, clicking the little triangle.
    As I was not able to see the icc profiles installed with the printer driver on the print dialog on photoshop, I  get the profiles on hd/library/printers/epson/inkjet printer/icc profiles, right click on the model and "show content", and then included them in hd/library/application Support/adobe/color/profiles.
    By doing this, I´m able to use that profiles printing from photoshop. But I´m not happy at all with the solution, as colorsync is still not working as it must be.
    Now, I´m trying to calibrate the monitor. And after calibrating, the profile created on -system preferences---display---color----claibrate-, is not shown under "display profile" on that application.  I think this is part of the same problem.
    Is there an expert able to give me a hand on this? How can fix it, in order to see the profiles on Colorsync, found them on photoshop and also create display profiles??

    OK, we're making progress, it just seems to be some User setting/pref file, trouble is, while most are in the User's Library>Prefs, not all are.
    Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
    Then move these files to the Desktop...

  • Lightroom export color profiles not working as expected...

    I'm trying to produce an image for a commercial printing service using the colour profile they provide.  I get the image looking the way I want in Lightroom and export it to a jpg with the printing service's printer profile.  As far as I understand it, this should give me a jpg that they can print to give me something that matches what I see on my monitor.
    To test what I'm doing, I brought the jpg up in photoshop, and used the view/proof setup/custom to proof the jpg with the service's colour profile.  I thought that doing this would show me the same image in photoshop that I had in Lightroom.  That doesn't seem to be the case.  The colour balance is about right, but the saturation and densities are out -- the photoshop version show less contrast.
    So, is there something wrong, or am I misunderstanding the way color profiles work?
    Thanks for any info.
    Doug

    To use the profile for softproof, that is viewing it on a calibrated monitor in the profile. You can either try the new softproofing plug in, or open the file from LR into PS in whatever you usual working colour space is (I would suggest ProPhoto) do not at this stage attach the profile.. In photoshop go to View, Proof setup, custom. In the Device to Simulate, select the profile, then choose either Perceptual or Saturation in rendering intent. Check black point compensation and bioth Simulate Paper color and Black ink, if these are available (this depends on the profile). You will now be viewing the image as it will be when printed as long as your screen is accurately calibrated. You can also select gamut warning under view and see which colours lay outside the gamut of the profile.
    Whe you have finished just save the file. Export from the print module from LR with the profile attached and send to your printer.

  • Custom color profiles not showing as available in InDesign CC

    This is a college graphic design lab environment with iMacs running 10.9.4 and the CC versions of Adobe programs
    We have a variety of custom color profiles for our specific printers and media.  They're located in a special folder and an alias of that folder is located in /Library/Colorsync/profiles.  The profiles in that folder do not show up  as available for selection in InDesign CC.  They did before the upgrade to the CC version.  They do show up in Photoshop CC, Lightroom 5 and Illustrator CC.  Is this a known InDesign flaw?  Any ideas for a fix... preferably one that doesn't involve moving the profiles?
    Thanks

    I had the same issue when playing with my Xerox Phaser 6110 profiled with colormunki. All software except Aperture (3.0.3) recognized the profile (Color Sync, Print dialog, Preview soft-proffing, even LR 3b2). I too tried all possible locations and none worked.
    Then I opened the profile in ColorSync, and edited (Profiles -> Xerox... -> Open ->'desc' tag) Ascii and unicode descriptions to read aaa.icc and did a Save As aaa.icc and there it was, available in Aperture, too.
    To my great disappointment the soft-proof feature in Aperture seems to be broken for some monitor/printer profile combinations, and is compatibly broken for printing from Aperture. What happens is the resulting image is way too degraded, even beyond the (admittedly crappy) photo printing capabilities of this printer.
    IOW printing the same JPG via Preview and/or soft-proofing with the printer's profile yields way more consistent results. Totally unacceptable for a €200 piece of software.

  • LR 4.4 D7100 color profile not accurate

    I have been unhappy with the colors from raws on my new D7100. It's bad enough it has banding and color cast issues within dark shadows but today I decided to do a test against my D90 and ViewNX and the results conclude what I have been seeing. There is too much yellow and a lack of magenta in the converted raws with LR. Here is an example. I'm considering sending it back until this is resolved. Copy and paste the link into your browse I can't seem to be able to paste a working copy of it into this post. I remember when I first got my D80 how bad the color profile was, I had to shoot Jpegs for highend kitchens because I couldn't get the wood tones to look correct. Eventually the profile got updated.

    You make a camera profile by taking a picture of an XRite Color Checker, either classic or pocket sized, standard color target and feeding a DNG of that into either the Adobe DNG Profile Editor or XRite’s Passport software.
    You can make a dual-illuminate profile, using a pair of 2600K and 6500K WB images, or you can make single-illuminant ones that work mainly for one lighting situation, studio shots at a fixed location.  I have a dual-illuminant one and several single-illuminant ones for when the Tint is quite a bit different than zero or the lighting has an uneven spectrum or is extreme—arena lighting, fluorescent, mercury-vapor, sodium-vapor.   The profiles made this way tend to produce saturated colors and do not have the hue-twists built into them like those made from Adobe.
    You can also use something like Imatest to check how accurate the colors are.

    I have both a CCPP and a CCC and use the CCPP more but that’s because I’m usually doing outdoor nature photography.  The CCC is larger and easier for someone to hold in a portrait or modeling situation:
    Imatest is made for measuring all sorts of optical system characteristics.  I have the least expensive version and mainly just use the Color Check module of it.

    You can also test color accuracy via free Photoshop scripts written by Rags-Gardner for use with various test charts:
    http://www.rags-int-inc.com/PhotoTechStuff/ColorCalibration/
    R-G also has scripts that compute the optimum Hue/Sat slider values under the Camera Calibration area—this is how calibration was done before the DNG Profile Editor was created a few years ago.  The DPE and the sliders work on different parts of the color matrices so you can do them both if you want.

  • ICC Color Profile Not working bootcamp

    Hi,
    I have a photobooth and am trying to get my sub-dye printer up and running on windows 8 bootcamp but when i load the icc color profile for it it doesn't seem to make a difference. Just wondering if its something to do with drivers thats stopping this from working or if anyone has come across this before. I have re-added it, removed and re-added printer etc but it just doesn't make a difference.
    Thanks

    Ah-the driver is name is:  mcpd-mac-pro9000ii-10_68_1-ea11.dmg
    First thing I tried to do is delete and re-download new driver, but no luck.

  • Color Profile Not Applied After Reboot.

    Hi guys, I posted this in the nZone forums, but no one replied, so I'm trying my luck here.
    I created and saved a color profile named "Games", in which the brightness is set to a bit higher to compensate for dark games. Then in the Performance and Quality tab, I created a game profile named HL2 and associated hl2.exe with it. Switiching to Advanced settings in view, I changed the color profile to Custom - Games. After clicking Apply, starting Half-Life 2 or Counter Strike: Source will cause the brightness to be at an acceptable level.
    However, after rebooting, the profile seems to have been forgotten. The game would run under the brightness I set my desktop at. The game profile is still there, however, remembered in the profile for the game under Performance and Quality. I would have to select the HL2 profile again and click Apply for it to take effect again. This happens EVERY time the machine reboots. I have uninstalled the drivers and manually deleted some files left behind, with Driver Cleaner Pro, and then reinstalled to no avail. Is there a way to fix this? This also happens to a profile I made for Guild Wars.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Specs: 6600 GT PCI-E with 84.21 drivers, running a Dell 2005FPW through the DVI connector.
    AMD 3000+ on Epox 9NPA+Ultra
    1 GB RAM
    160 GB SATA
    And just as an experiment I installed Windows and Guild Wars on a 6 year old 8 GB hard drive. It was a clean install, with only drivers (mobo, GPU) and Guild Wars installed. Same thing happens. I even tried the 78.01 and 93.31 drivers. 93.31 wouldn't even allow custom color profiles for whatever reason.

    Thanks for the reply Richard. I indeed tried the latest driver, 91.31. The new control panel was quite confusing. I managed to get to the performance and quality place, but there was no way to set a color profile to a specific game, so keeping the same drivers, I went back to the classic control panel. Color profiles can't seem to be applied for game profiles, as the value in the profile switches to a "0" every time I hit apply (read that some other guy on the nZone forums had the same issues). So as of now, I just use the 84.21 drivers and set the color profile manually in the taskbar.
    By the way, does anyone else here set color profiles in their game profiles? If so, how's the experience?

  • New Color Profiles not showing up in Aperture3

    I've spent hours trying to get Aperture3 to see a new proofing profile with no luck.
    We use WHCC (White House Custom Color) for prints and discovered we were using an out of date icc profile for their printer. No big deal, just download the new icc profile and drop it in the ~/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/ folder and... Nothing.
    Here are the location's I've tried putting it with no luck:
    ~/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/
    /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/
    /System/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/ +(yes I know you're not supposed to put anything in here, but it usually works and is a good place to put things you don't want users to tamper with)+
    Putting the profile in any of these locations, the ColorSync Utility sees it just fine, but Aperture doesn't list it at all. I've rebooted, restarted, rebuilt my Library and fixed permissions with no change. Is there a specific .plist file I can destroy that will let Aperture re-discover the profiles on the system?
    As a side effect of this process, I moved the old proofing profile to my Desktop. After the now one didn't work, I tried moving it back to see if Aperture would see it... It doesn't anymore. Oddly enough, Aperture does see the display profiles we created for the laptop with our Monaco.

  • Color Profiles Not Showing Up in Aperture 3

    So, I use WHCC for my lab. They supply printer profiles. So far so good. I have put these profiles in both the system and user ColorSync Profiles folder. These profiles show up in my Color Sync Utility but they don't show up in Aperture??
    Now what?
    Thanks
    PS- upgrading computers is a real PIA

    Keep fishing
    I am using 10.6.7 and A3. The profiles are in both the ~/.../Profiles and Macintosh HD/Library/ etc... Permissions have been repaired along with running Disk Warrior. Here is where is gets really interesting, the same profiles are visible to Aperture (version 2) on my "old" G5 running Leopard. The profiles in that version of Aperture are also nicely sorted. On the new system (Mac Pro/Snow Leopard/ Aperture 3) they are NOT visible. AND, according to a WHCC representative (I talked to someone different this time), it is a "known" but undocumented issue.
    Say what you will, so far I am not thrilled with this switch to Intel. It is very "un-Mac" like.
    So now I just wait and see if WHCC updates their profiles or if I switch labs or if it even matters… once I get a calibrater that will work with Snow Leopard!
    <sigh>

  • Color profiles not working in snow leopard 10.6.2

    I have got a new imac 27inch running snow leopard 10.6.2. It replaces my old Powermac G5 with 10.4 Since 10.1 (bought in 2002)I have had a photoshop/epson 9600 workflow doing all color management in photoshop and selecting no color management in the print driver. In 10.6.2 the colors on screen are fine but the printed output is very wrong it looks like the paper profile is being stripped out and replaced by srgb or something. What has apple done with color management in snow leopard and how can I get my print color back as the prints I now produce are unsaleable and I printing is my livelihood.

    I am having the same problem. With ColorSync color management on, the prints come out muddy. If I select Canon for the color matching the prints turn out much better, but they're still a bit red. I'll be interested to see if they get this fixed.

  • How To See Color Profiles in LR2?

    How can I see, within LR2, which Color Profile is embedded in JPEG and TIFF versions of my pix?  The "Color Profile" field is provided in "Properties - Metadata" in Photoshop Elements, but I cannot find the "Color Profile" field in LR2 "Library - Metadata", even when I select the "All" option for the Metadata panel.
    Is there some way to really see "ALL" of the metadata in LR2?

    Paul,
    I don't think you can. But, in LR, the color profile (as long as it's taken into account correctly) does not matter that much, since upon Export you have to specify a color encoding to be used (and profile to be included)  anyway.

  • Color profiles do not stay synchronized across all applications in CS6

    I've recently uopgraded my system to Maverick.   Using Adobe CS6 Suite. It seems as of late when selecting a color profile for the creative suite, the application does not keep the color setting.  They say synchronized but when reopening to check again, it says unsynchronized.
    Also, When making a PDF from InDesign, Illustrator or Photoshop, the colors look dead and darker in the PDF.  Again, the Acrobat color prefs say "unsynchronized".  If I go to Bridge and re-apply the profile, all is fine, but on reopening the color prefs in Acrobat they are back to "unsynchronized".  This also happens in InDesign and Illustrator.
    All this an more.  I work with a client who is the inhouse graphics manager.  We run the same software and the same profiles, yet the same color files look different on his computer than on mine.
    Can someone shed  some light on this issue.  Been doing this many years and have not had this problem.

    Not all that familiar with Color sync but bridge should be acting as the central and when you have selected the correct color profile in Bridge CS6 under the menu edit / color settings all CS6 applications should have this profile / setting show.
    In your case I would start to reset preferences for Bridge with holding down option key while starting Bridge and from the menu choose reset preferences.
    Maybe even do this with al other CS applications if only bridge does not help.
    And this is no help to you but I'm still not on Mavericks but if I make the switch I don't use the option for upgrade but make a day free to install everything from scratch. For normal use with a few apps it might not be important to do so but with a lot of apps and daily use in a professional workflow I always go for security versus speed

  • Changing color profile in Lightroom 5 Soft Proofing from ProPhotoRGB to sRGB is not showing any changes, changes in Photoshop CC are dramatic

    I am working with  the color profile ProPhoto RGB in both Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CC. In preparing for my first Blurb book I have tried to generate pictures in sRGB in Lightroom, using the Soft Proofing feature, but there are no changes at all. Then I transfer the same pictures into Photoshop, change the color profiles and the results are dramatically different.
    What can I do to achieve the same results in Lightroom

    With an average monitor what you see on-screen is already soft proofed to sRGB (or something very close to it), because that's all the monitor is capable of displaying anyway. So soft proofing to sRGB won't tell you anything. You won't see any difference.
    In Photoshop it sounds as if you assign profiles. That's not the way to do it. If you convert correctly you won't see any difference. Same principle as above: there may be clipping in the process, but what you see on screen is already clipped, so no visual on-screen difference.
    With a wide gamut monitor soft proofing becomes slightly more useful. But still you won't see any changes occurring outside Adobe RGB. You'll get a better idea by keeping an eye on the histogram. Ideally, all three channels should taper gently off towards the endpoints. If any one or two channels are backed solidly up against the endpoint, on either side, that's gamut clipping.
    If Blurb gave you a real profile, one that reflected their actual printing process, you could soft proof to that. But apparently they don't.

  • Iphoto 9.5 not supporting color profiles supported in '11

    JPG Photos in iphoto 11 from Scancafe.com with color profile OS14000_A2_B8_oG that worked with iphoto '11, now not working with iphoto 9.5 and now unable to re-import.
    First some background.  I was using iphoto 11 and had no problem importing the scancafe jpg photos (color photos) from the DVD's.  Everything was fine until I upgraded my mac mini to mavericks and upgraded iphoto 11 to 9.5.  It seems iphoto 9.5 does not support the color profile of the jpgs that were scanned by scancafe.  That color profile is OS14000_A2_B8_oG.  I noticed that after upgrade of iphoto, that jpgs with this color profile are no longer seen at full size (they are visible as preview in iphoto, they are also visible in the mac program Preview, they also seem to work in aperture).  But, when I try to view as full size in iphoto it is just black.  Interstingly, the face detection from iphoto 11 still hovers, but now over black photo.  The photo is still in the Masters area of the iphoto library, iphoto is just unable to view as full size. 
    When I tried to import the photo again, iphoto says the jpgs are unreadable.  So, after hours of frustration, I realized iphoto doesn't seem to be supporting the color profile: OS14000_A2_B8_oG.   When I used Adobe Lightroom 5 (Imported all first) to export as jpg (batch export) and removed the color profile (it then defaults to sRGB), the pictures  were able to be imported into iphoto and were visible at full size.
    To make a long story short, it seems that apple didn't provide support for this color profile with iphoto 9.5.  Which is interesting, because they used to support it in iphoto 11.
    Any ideas how I can save the work I have done on these photos:  descriptions, face recognition, etc. without having to reimport jpgs with new color profile? 
    It would seem simple for apple to support the color profile and continue to do so.  This foreshadows the slow removal of support for older file format and color profiles as software is upgraded.  Will the photos in our iphoto library be visible in 10 years without conversions and reimporting?  This is a concerning precedent.

    Not what but who. That would be me.  Keith is referring to this Applescrip: Embed sRGB Profile-Applescript, that you can download from  Toad's Cellar.  However, I've found it doesn't work on all files and have created an Automator workflow that is more reliable:  Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB profile.
    Both are on Toad's Cellar and you can try both.  They will have to be applied to the image files outside of iPhoto before importing into iPhoto.
    Happy Holidays
