Magenta Cast on exported Images

I am working on a Macbook Pro connected to an external Ezio Monitor.
When I work on files in Lightroom the images appear fine. When I export them as JPEGs, I send them out using Adobe 1998 as the profile, or SRGB files. The photos will have a magenta cast to them. I read posts talking about ProPhoto RGB but that is no better, in fact it is worse.
This never used to be the case, now I don't know what is going on.

It is my experience with Canon "pro level" printers is, they tend to have a redish bias.  This is very difficult to remove.
Canon engineers seem to prefer this warm look. This is built in.
However, on portraits I do like it, too. They look very nice. But on other stuff I know your problem.
I sometimes add a small amount of a 'coolong' filter in Photoshop. This usually counter-acts the built in warming effect of the printer. Remember a small amount, a little is good, a lot is not.  It will look slightly blueish on your screen. I mean sloightly!
Hope this helps.

  • Dark prints using CS5 & Epson R2400 ongoing problem, now new PC and magenta cast

    Have tried every combination of set up in trying to solve problem. Had One Eye (now defunct lamp) various experts etc etc but compensated for dark prints by having screen lightened to bizarre point. Now having a new PC am faced with massive magenta cast. I really don't want to buy a new printer but have had the dark print problem since I got it. Have spoken to Adobe and Epson at length but eventually washed their hands. I feel it is something to do within the computer set up or Photoshop - don't think its printer problem. All drivers updated regularly. Thought it could be monitor problem but don't really think this is the case.
    Any ideas welcome as I think I have tried everything. Use Windows 7.
    Am retired and not very technically minded!  Serious amateur photographer.

    I have an Epson 1280 printer, and I have the same problem with prints. Part of the problem are the different color profiles in the monitor and the printer. The other problem to deal with is the type of photo paper used. While looking at web sites, I found that the ICC Color Profiles for the printer are on the install disc and are not automatically installed. One of the links describes which folder to install the profiles on both Mac & Windows computers.
    As station_two wrote, calibrate your monitor first.
    Below is a link about calibrating.

    I do not have an exact answer for you because I have not figured it out myself, but here is what I have been doing on my prints. I might recommend that you work on a copy of the original.
    In the Layer floating window, create a New Adjustment Layer by clicking on the half black/half white circle, and choose Hue/Saturation or Color Balance or Selective Color. Because the prints come out too red, you want to increase the green sliders, which is the opposite of red, and/or decrease the red. (Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Color Balance) is another way to do it.
    Under the menu item Image>Adjust Levels. Move the center triangle at the bottom to lighten the mid-range, or use the center dialog box and change it to 1.20 or 1.30, for example.
    Now press Print with Preview (but you really are not going to print).
    When the dialog box comes up, make sure the Print Space: dropdown is set to Epson Paper or whatever you are using.
    I have been using Relative Colorimetric. Press Print. Another dialog box will come up. At the bottom will be a button for Preview, which will generate a preview of what the photo will look like if printed.
    Keep going back to the original and double click on the Adjustment Layer and adjusting it until the Print Preview looks ok.
    Be sure when you actually print that the paper and color settings in the Epson dialog box match your settings in Photoshop. There is a dropdown that has Print Settings or Color. Often they don't match unless you print several photos in a row. I have found printing at the lower settings (less than 360 dpi) also messes up the color.
    It is not an excellent solution, but until I can figure out more, I am in the same boat as you.
    I'd suggest saving the lightening and color adjustments as two different Actions.

  • Stong Magenta Cast on Nikon D1x Compressed Raw files

    I had to get some shots that I took in 2003 with my D1x. I'm on a MAC with Lightroom 1.3. I imported the photo's into Lightroom. I noticed something strange.
    Some of the the images first displayed correctly in the grid view. bus as lightroom created the higher res thumbnails, the images developed a very strong magenta cast. Reminded me of slide film when the color developer was going bad. But some of the other images were fine, I had about 2000 from the shoot.
    It took a while, but I did discover the differences between the files that displayed correctly and those that didn't. The difference was that the ones displayed incorrectly were Compressed RAW. I was beginning to run short of storage on the shoot and changed to the compressed option for about the last 200 or so shots.
    If I ask Lightroom to open them in Photoshop CS3, they open as PSD with the same strong cast. Not good at all.
    I then used Bridge to look at the files, they also show up with the sme strong magenta cast in bridge. But, when I open them in Camera Raw, they display fine and when I send them to Photoshop, they open correctly.
    So I can use the files, but I'm wondering. Has anyone else noticed this? Is Adobe aware of this?
    I looked for an article in the Knowledge Base and looked through the forum messages. I didn;t find anything except for an item in the forum about D100 files displaying the same as mine.

    i just started having the same problem except that my magenta cast happens when i open an image through raw then ps and save from ps to a file. If i save from bridge or adobe raw there is no problem. I only get the cast when saved from ps and to jpeg and if viewed through bridge. have no idea what to do.

  • All Paper Profiles = Magenta Cast...Display Profiles are fine

    R3000 - Windows 7 - 64 bit - Lightroom 5.6 - Print Module
    Tried every possible combination of printer driver Mode and Profile (under Color Management tab in print module).
    Using OFF (no color adjustment), as recommended by Epson or Epson Standard or ICM with any paper profile produces either very dark images or heavy Magenta Color Cast.  The only setting that produce a proper print (or Print to: JPEG file for that matter) are Adobe RGB mode and Adobe RGB Profile (I believe SRGB works as well).  I'm baffled.  I have a properly calibrated monitor and I've read all the manuals and message boards....I've downloaded new Epson profiles and Red River profiles...all produce heavy Magenta Cast....I cannot find a way to use a Paper ICC profile. 

    For what its worth I am posting screen shots of my "Windows 7 Color Management settings".
    I use a Canon Pro9000 Mk11 so I cannot comment on how to turn off the color management in the Printer Drivers preferences, which needs to be done if you are selecting a color profile in Lightroom.
    See if the additional info at this link helps.

  • Lightroom 3, Epson R2400 and the dreaded magenta cast

    A customer called me to say her printer was broken and nothing she could do would make her Epson R2400 print accurately from Lightroom on her iMac running Snow Leopard. I visited expecting to have to sort out a double profiling issue or a clogged printer.
    However, this was not the case. A nozzle check revealed very mild clogging on the light cyan cartridge but nothing too bad and it cleared quickly. Checking the print settings in Lightroom and the Epson driver settings suggested that there wasn't a problem there either - colour managed by a profile in Lightroom with printer colour management turned off. A couple of test prints resulted in images with a definite over-all magenta cast. Plodding through threads on this forum and others came up with all the usual profile issues which I reckoned were not applicable in this case. Still, I downloaded and reinstalled the Epson driver and also the icc profiles for the papers being used, in this instance those supplied by Permajet, in case there was some corruption. The problem persisted.
    Now there are a lot of speculative solutions out on the web, some of them involving tweaks to the OS, others recommending monitor profiling (not the problem here) and some suggeting the use of elaborate presets to distort the colours to a printable result. None of these seemed useful - the screen colour was fine and the histograms weren't unbalanced in a magenta direction. It should just work.
    Then I wondered about the little 16 Bit checkbox. What if I ticked that? Result - PERFECT. Lovely colour immediately. Now, I'm not sure why printing in 16 Bit should sort out the magenta cast in this case but it does. There is a general opinion, even in books such as that by Martin Evening, that 16 Bit is an interesting option but not vital. In the case outlined here it is vital.
    So, if you are having magenta cast problems try ticking the 16 Bit box. It may just save your last clumps of hair from being torn out.

    I wouldn't argue with you re the R2400 and its capabilities as it isn't mine and I didn't have any of its literature while trying to get to the bottom of the problem. The profiles I tried were Epson's own and a Permajet one from their website. Both produced magenta results until 16 Bit was turned on, or at least that seemed the trigger for the better results. Unexpected, I agree.

  • Magenta cast on 50d's sRAWs

    is it possible that nobody noticed it? I used to use LR for managing all my photos, as i only shoot RAW. recently i've changed the camera though to Canon's 50D. I was looking forward to it's 7.1Mpx sRAW mode dor casual photos and full resolution for bigger projects. Unfortunately it lasted very shortly. Is it possible that nobody noticed strong magenta cast on bigger (7.1) sRAW files? Acctually if you shoot three photos - RAW, sRAW1 and sRAW2 each of them will look somehow different. Canon has already corrected this mistake in their DPP (it looked exactly the same there) but i still want to use LR for all the worklflow and things. Now i'm forced to use huge RAWs (at least 20MB each) instead of handy sRAWs.
    Please do something with it,
    jacekolszewski
    ps. i'm writing this as the issue still hasn't changed even though ACR 5.4 RC was released :/

    I also have the problem described here.
    I have a Canon EOS 5D Mk2.
    Photos taken at ISO200 and the smaller RAW format exhibit this issue.
    All photos that were taken this year and processed with ACR 6.4 and 6.4.1 have exhibited this issue. I don't think this issue used to happen with the original version of ACR that came with Photoshop CS5.
    I updated my camera firmware 2 years ago, but that is too long ago to have caused this problem as I was getting good results from it immediately after the firmware update.
    In ACR, changing the Camera profile to any setting other than "Adobe Standard" helped. Also the slider below it named shadows helped when I moved it towards the green (left) side.
    However it was difficult to get a satisfactory looking color balance overall, and there were still noisy magenta artefacts in the underexposed shadows.
    Installed Canon Digital Photo Professional (3.10.1.0) on my PC today and compared the images. Wow! DPP ones look stunning on the default settings compared to the ACR processed ones. No color cast at all.
    So I will return to using Canon DPP and then use PTLens to correct distortion, and manually correct chromatic aberration. Less automation but better quality results.
    If this issue is addressed I'm happy to help test ACR.
    Here are sample RAW files (CR2 and XMP) exhibiting the issue described:
    Normal Exposure      XMP
    Darker Exposure      XMP

  • Exporting Images to a folder on the hard drive

    I used to be able to export images to a selected folder on my hard-drive without having to identify the folder for every image.
    Now when I export I need to select the folder on my hard-drive for each image even thought I'm going to process 50+ images for that folder.
    What is wrong & how can i fix it?
    Can anyone help?
    I'm using Lightroom 5.

    Thanks for the quick reply.
    I just tried it again and it seems to be working....
    If it happens again, will use export with previous.
    I was exporting the normal way through the library but my sub-folder was on my hard-drive.

  • Exporting Images and Clipping Paths

    I ran into a problem exporting images the was previously reported by Ruvan Fernando on Jan 25, 2006, but nobody had responded, so I'm trying again...
    I'm using the SDK to open images and then save them back out with different colorspaces, resolution, etc. When I have an image that has a clipping path in it, when it's saved, the clipping path is missing.
    I am copying all the source image attributes to the destination image attributes.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I tried dragging it, and it gave the original version.
    At Share there are; Print, Email, Desktop, HomePage, .Mac Slides, Order prints, Send to iDVD, Burn Disk, Export
    I tried Desktop and it put the current image do my wallpaper.

  • Help with exporting images

    HI
    I have recently shot a wedding with two bodies.  Forgot to sync the bodies before hand and so left with images at massively different times.  in lightroom i then changed to view by capture time and amended all the wrongly timed images.  i am then left with all images in order and looking as i want.  I then put them in a catalogue and a collection to be on the safe side and exported both.  Whatever i do i see the exported images in my pictures in the same order they were in before i changed the capture time.  i have tried to research this until im sick of it.  I just cant figure out what is going wrong.  Just tried to save to dvd instead and saved but again in the order pre correction?  please help

    Hi did that this morning .  I'm viewing in the exported named file in a
    folder on the mac ... I've tried re naming , sort by capture time but the
    minute I export , the exported file looks just the same as before I made
    the capute time amendments .
    Thanks

  • Export images to a directory structure based on a collection tree?

    A question:
    Will lightroom have the capability to export images to a directory structure which mirrors a collections logical structure?
    The reason I ask this is that when I create websites using third party tools (eg, Jalbum) I typically generate a flash or HTML based site with an menu structure for navigating the images.
    So, the image interface is not simply a "flat-file" display as per the templates in Lightroom beta.
    To do this, with previous image management tools (eg, iMatch) I create a hierarchy of images based on the categories (or collections) that the images are assigned to, export the images in a folder tree reflecting their categories (or collection), then use, say, Jalbum, to generate the website with the menu tree reflecting the folders/images.
    This is extremely useful for more complicated image websites with categories and a large no of images.
    If this function was built into Lightroom I guess it would be in the export function such that the "write to folder" box could take an argument {collection name} which would create a folder tree reflecting the collections logical tree which is being exported.
    Apologies if this topic has been raised previously. But this function is extremely useful if you are using third party html tools or simply building websites by hand.
    Regards
    Alistair

    I started simmilar thread in Lightroom Feature Requests few months ago, but can't find it anymore since new forum version...
    What I can suggest as a new feature is export to directory structure from collections or second option from keywords. Probably more usable and easier to implement would be from collections.
    What I need it to export many photos to different directories pretty often, and this would be great help since I could arrange them in collections and collection sets. Then select collection set and export it in a manner that collection set would be main export directory, and each collection within the set would be exported to its own folder within main collection set export folder.
    This would be much appreciated feature in near future
    Thank you for great product by the way

  • Critical issue with exporting images in iPhoto 08?

    I have been exporting selected photos to a thumb drive under iPhoto 06. I then take the thumb drive and put it in a pioneer palsma and go to GALLERY mode. Works fantastic and I can then review the images with my clients. Never had a problem with iPhoto 06. I upgraded to iPhoto 08 recently and export selected photos to the thumbdrive under the new upgrade. When I go to Gallery mode on the plasma the photos do not come up and it hangs up the plasma..... ??? Seems to be a problem somewhere with what "08" does with the photos? I ran a number of different test with two different thumb drives using photos from iPhoto 08 and cannot get them to work. I go back to an old iMac that was not upgraded to iPhoto 08 and both thumb drives they work fine on the plasma. In fact it is almost impossible to mess the operation up with "06". I have tried to export the photos in "08" in all the various size options and still no success. I would appreciate any help to this critical problem I am facing since I use this function of showing my images on a plasma on a daily basis . After about 10 to 12 hours of working htis problem I am totally loss as what to do. Thanks for your time.

    Thanks for your reply.
    1. I select the photos from iPhoto - varied between 5 and 20 (ran different test)
    2. Click on FILE
    3. Select EXPORT
    4. Under the FILE EXPORT tab I have tried all the various options with no success
    5. KIND - I make sure they are JPEG files - I have tried the Original also which is actually JPEG files
    6. JPEG QUALITY - I have tried all 4 options from LOW to MAX
    7. SIZE - I tried all 4 size options from SMALL to FULL
    8. FILE NAME - I use filename
    9. Select EXPORT tab
    10. I export to the thumbdrive and I chcek and they are on the thumbdrive
    11. I also tried to EXPORT to the desktop and copy them to the thumbdrive
    I click on the photos on the exported images I placed on the thumb drive and they come up fine on PREVIEW on my MAC. No prroblem with the images until I try to use them on the plasma. I go back and use images from iPhoto 06 that I did not call up with the "08" program and they work fine.
    Hope that explains what I do. Thanks again

  • Can I use Bridge to export image data into a .txt file?
