Magenta colour cast added to exported jpg photos

I shoot raw with my Canon EOS 5D and import the raw images to LR. There is no Development preset. Colours in LR look OK on my calibrated monitor - this is not a camera calibration problem as suggested in LR help and knowledgebase; I have tested these solutions with no change. Basic edits are usually about exposure correction or spot removal.
When I export the photos as a jpg files they have a magenta colour cast, sometimes quite strong. LR cannot be used for reliable prediction of what an exported photo will look like.
I checked with Canon Digital Photo Professional. The colour of the original photo shown in DPP is exactly the same as the jpg colours. This makes me think that LR display render is unreliable.
My system is as follows
LR 1.4.1 on PC with XP Pro service pack 2
LR installed on C: with over 80GB free space
LR catalogue on second internal F: with over 34GB free space
Photos on USB drive with over 220GB free space
2GB RAM 2.4 GHz P4 with Dell 2408WFP LCD monitor
LR export to sRGB 80% jpg 1000 pixels short edge (reduced from 4368x2912 pixel)

>I calibrate my monitor with Monaco EZcolor 2.6.5 and an i1 calorimeter from x-rite. I have profiles for day time with natural light and for evening with artificial light. I have also tested the monitor with various pictures for black and for colour rendering.
Excellent! Be aware that I have seen problems on this forum before because of defective colorimeters (a calorimeter is a device that measures heat BTW!).
>I use LR and Photoshop CS2. I use Canon software to download the photos from my camera to sub folder of my own choice then I import them to LR. The colour rendition by LR and Photoshop are identical.
That is a very good sign. If the color rendition between Lightroom and Photoshop is identical, you do not have a bad monitor profile, so we have to think about something else.
>The exported jpg files are uploaded onto a web page at panoramio.com for use on Google Earth. Therefore I view the jpg files with Mozila Firefox 2.0.0.14 and with Google Earth 4.2 The colour rendition by Canon Digital Photo Professional of the raw file is identical to the jpg rendition by Firefox of the web site photo.
Be aware that DPP can be set up to not color manage. There is a preference you have to turn on to make it color manage (you should if you want to trust the color). If you see a difference between Lightroom/Photoshop and an unmanaged browser, it is usually due to the fact that the browser is unmanaged. You cannot trust an unmanaged browser to show you the correct color even on a calibrated monitor. You still should not have a color cast in the neutrals though! Perhaps you should post some examples such as a direct Lightroom export (perhaps simply a link to the panoramio page) and a screenshot of what it looks like on your machine. That could perhaps narrow the issue down.
Do images such as the third image down in the left column (labelled "sRGB Standard RGB 2.2 gamma") on this page http://www.gballard.net/psd/go_live_page_profile/embeddedJPEGprofiles.html look normal (i.e. normal skintones, not too saturated, neutral whites) on your screen?
>I don't know about Firefox 3.0, it has not been offered in the normal auto update. I don't know about the secret setting for Firefox.

  • Lightroom 3.5 Raw Image Magenta Colour Cast

    My Nikon D7000 raw files all have a magenta cast to them when imported into Adobe Lightroom 3.5, and I wasn't shooting on multiple exposure. I am running Windows 7 64-bit, and have Adobe Photoshop CS4 as well as a trial version of Adobe Lightroom 3.5 (testing to see if I would like to buy as I can't read my raw files in CS4).
    If I convert my raw files to DNG, and then view them using camera raw (CS4), the magenta cast is gone. However, if I view those same DNG files with Lighroom, they have the magenta cast. I have tried re-importing my catalogue, but everytime they all have the same strong magenta cast. Help would be much appreciated as I can't seem to find anyone else having this problem, and I otherwise can't access my raw files.

    I managed to fix it actually. I don't know if you can update camera raw with just LR, as I did my update through PS5. So looking for updates in PS5, it updated my camera raw and now the problem is gone. Last time, with LR3, it was a stupid thing Adobe did, where you could only get the most current edition of camera raw by upgrading to PS5 (and I had been on PS4) ... so after upgrading to PS5, I could finally get the correct camera raw version. Hope it helps.

  • Simple way to export a photo

    With all the cool stuff that iPads and iPhones can do it kills me that doing something simple like adding or exporting a photo or song can be so difficult.  What I would like to be able to do is to copy off a few pictures while on vacation and away from my computer that my iPhone 4s has been synced to.  The only option I have so far is to sync with a new computer wherever I am and that deletes everything so it can do a fresh sync.  There has to be a better way to handle this.  Another example is I was visiting the family and was finding some new ringtones while bored.  Well once I synced my iPhone with the computer I downloaded to all 150 of my songs were deleted off so it could sync and add the 3 ringtones.

    I guess my confusion lies with the fact that I tagged thousands of pictures in Picasa, which iPhoto promptly ignored when I switched to a Mac.
    That indicates to me that Picasa either did not include the data or it was in a non-standard field or was a non-standard entry
    What metadata did you add using Picasa - and what leads you to believe that iPhoto "ignored" it?
    So I'm hesitant to begin re-tagging thousands of photos if that data won't be retained.
    I'd suggest you do a small test of tenor so photos as see if your specific requirements will be met
    My understanding was that Picasa stored the metadata in the file itself
    No idea - contact Google for Picasa support
    while iPhoto stores the metadata in the database.
    Yes and no - iPhoto does not mess with the EXIF and IPTC data - it does pull some out into the database and if you make changes those changes are recorded in the database UNTIL you export the photo
    Which still confuses me as to why the Picasa metadata, which should be part of the thousands of photos, didn't make it into iPhoto.
    That indicates to me that Picasa either did not include the data or it was in a non-standard field or was a non-standard entry

  • Digital photo professional - export JPG from RAW

    Hello!
    i have a problem with program Digital photo professional, when i want export images from RAW format to JPG.
    The problem is, that quality of image is much more worse, then in RAW format in DPP. JPG looks blurred and fuzzy.
    IMAGE LINK:
    Please check image, on the left side is print screen from RAW in DPP, on the right is exported JPG from DPP.
    I want export JPG with the same quality as i see in RAW
    Is there anybody to help me?
    Thanks a lot.
    Vit

    1. open *.CR2 (raw file) in DPP
    2.file/convert and save
    3.type of file - EXif JPEG (JPG, JPEG)
    4.image quality 10
    5.output resolution 350dpi
    6.check -  embed icc profile in image
    There are not another settings, so i dont know, why has exported JPG so bad quality...
    When i open *.CR2 file in PS5, i see the same bad quality as exported JPG from DPP, but i read, that PS5, cannot
    open CR2 file in best quality, because PS5 doesnt have all function, that have DPP.
    I tested it on two PC, so problem is not only on my PC...
    Thanks.

  • Yellow colour cast on all photos help!

    I have photo taken with a canon 400d with sRGB colour profile set in the camera. However when these or any other photos from any camera have a yellow colour cast. I have the canon Digital Photo Professional software installed as well and when i view these photos in DPP they look exactly as the scene that i captured. Example below.
    http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp97/cxxchan/Picture12.png
    Can anyone tell how to fix this and have iPhoto show the pictures correctly?
    Thanks

    Christoff:
    The photo on the left is the correct color rendition, i.e. the bluish version, right? Do other applications, i.e. Preview, Safari display the photos correctly on your computer?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Magenta Color Cast in Center of Photos

    My photos seem to have a very heavy magenta cast on the central portion of the photo. There also seem to be green/blue casts at the edges. I have tried resetting the phone and all the other basic fixes...

    I have the exact same problem and it is quite pronounced. As a photographer, I know that this is considered a typical problem on some high end digital camera systems. It is typically caused by the angle of light hitting the sensor at certain angles and creating different color casts at different lens positions. One high end systems, this is solved using a semi-opaque white filter to isolate the colors and then apply a lens cast correction to all affected photos. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to do this same thing with my iPhone images because they are jpegs and not RAW. I'll keep looking but if someone else has figured it out, I would love to know how to fix this. Its really distracting.

  • Illustrator CS6 - Export jpg without adding artboard to name

    Is there a way in Illustrator CS6 to export as jpg with Use Artboard check to not have illustrator add the name of the artboard to your file name?
    Example -
    File name "redboat.ai"
    Export jpg "redboat.jpg" with Use Artboard option selected
    File name becomes "redboat-01.jpg"
    This is not a huge problem when I only have 1 or two files but when I have to rename 100+ file names it can be a pain.
    I do understand that I can batch rename in Bridge but it would be nice if I could have these files saved without the artboard name on them.
    Any help appreciated.

    Export to .jog with use artbaords, needs to add to the name, so shen you export imaegs with multiple artbaords you do not have reapeated names.
    You can do a save for web, and turn on clip to artboard and you will get the filename you need. Record an action to save the file to your desktop, and you will save even more time running this as a batch command on a folder of images.

  • Magenta color cast problem on canon 7d raw files

    when i import canon raw files (cr2) into lightroom 3, i get a magenta color cast over the whole image. the thumbnail image looks fine, but when lightroom opens up the image, it get's a magenta color cast over the whole thing. i shot raw+jpeg mode too, and there's a huge differnce in color between the two. the jpeg looks like how i shot it in camera but the raw image has the ugly magenta color. not only do i get this ugly color, but it seems like there's added noise compared to jpeg image.
    i tried converting the cr2 into a dng. but when i open that in lightroom, i get the same problem.
    i use aperture 2.1 (i only use the lr3 trial so far), but i have the same problem there.
    i use cs3 but i downloaded cs5 trial.
    acr i have is 6.1
    help.
    thanks.

    Go to develop and the callibration tab and change it in the pull down menu to a canon default like 'Neutral' and not the adobe one which is made by somebody totally colour blind or obviously a Nikon fan.
    Although this is weird as the problem for me has always been canon JPG's with the cast and not the RAW.
    Also check your white balance cause Lightroom seems to change it whatever..  'AS SHOT' is a big fat Adobe lie so use a preset from your camera in the drop down box.. Why?  I shoot with Canon's flash WB setting which i know to be 5500k with the tint at zero.  On import, Lightroom changes it to 6150 and adds an amazing +7 on the magenta tint, if i chose 'FLASH' things suddenly turn to what i see on the camera LCD..  I'm sure that is where the big fat tint has come from since day one.

  • A77- High ISO colour cast

    Hi everyone,
    I am a proud owner of a shiny A77 and was greatly pleased to see LR3.5 supporting this camera.
    General impressions of the LR conversions are very good until I get to ISO6400 or higher. No problems with grain or noise (except that it's high ISO, of course there is some grain!) but the LR conversions start to show an increasingly obtrusive red/pink colour cast which is particularly noticeable in darker parts of the picture.
    I've shot 'RAW+JPG' and compared the output from the camera's JPG engine to what I can get out of RAW in LR3.5 and at ISO6400, the LR conversion has a hint of pink. At 12800, the LR is definitely pink and at the ultimate ISO of 16000, LR is positively rose tinted! The out-of-camera JPGs are not showing this colour cast.
    I've tried resetting the LR develop settings all to zero, then reimporting files with no develop presets, tried the built in 'zeroed' preset. I even tried using my colorchecker passport to build a one-off colour profile, but it still comes out pinkish.
    Is this because the camera Adobe Standard profile is quite new and needs a bit of tweaking? My A55 colours are handled quite nicely in LR by comparison. I had a sneaky peak at the Adobe Camera profiles folder on my computer (c:\documents and settings\all users\application data\adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles\AdobeStandard) and noticed the file "Sony SLT-77V Adobe Standard.dcp" is 115kb along with the A65's equivalent and most others are only 55kb or 56KB.
    In fact, the only large (115kb) .dcp files are all dated 15/9/2011 and belong to recently launched cameras. (Ricoh A12, Panasonic FZ150, Pentax Q etc).
    Can anyone give me a clue?
    Has Adobe invented a new type of .dcp file? Is it not handling high ISO colour very well?
    Cheers

    mikey:  Lr does not currently adjust the black point for very high ISO images (any differently than low ISO images).  So, you may see a magenta cast in the shadows at very high ISO.  You can partially compensate for this by adjusting the "Shadow Tint" slider in the Camera Calibration panel.

  • How to email .jpg photos for receiver to print?

    I sent my daugher a picture from iPhoto, using the "Attach" button in the email, and the photo is a .jpg.  My daughter is unable to print it at her end, and responds with the following comment:
    "It’s the picture, not attached as a JPG. Attach it to an email as an attachment, then I can print and save as a real picture."
    What am I doing incorrectly? Can anyone help? Thanks so much.

    Try this:
    1 - export the photo out of iPhoto to the Desktop via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option with Kind = JPEF, Size = Full Size and JPEG Quailty = Maximum. 
    2 - open Mail and create a new email.
    3 - drag the photo into the email body. 
    4 - select Actual Size in Mail's Size drop down menu.
    5 - send.
    If the recipient still has problems with the file you can zip(compress) the file before adding to the email body:
    Of course the recipient will have to unzip/uncompress the file once they receive it.

  • Lightroom 3 exporting issue: exported JPGs come out with much more noise than original edited files

    Hi all,
    My first post here so nice to meet everyone. I've been having some issues with exporting in Lightroom recently. It appeared to happen quite out of the blue. Sometimes when I export my edited .cr2 files as jpgs (in srgb), at a good quality (no less than 85), some of resulting jpgs seem to have exposure higher and/or a horribly large increase in the amount of visable noise. It seems many of the photos which this occurs in have pretty high settings for fill light, but even still, the noise is not visable in lightroom while editing the metadata linked .cr2.
    I thought it might be the problem that I'm viewing the final exported jpgs in preview, but I also tried adding them back into the catalog and they look just as off. I just upgraded to 3.3, but it seems to be having the same issue. If anyone can please help, it would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks

    No sharpening at all during my export, Ian. Sometimes I sharpen for screen at a standard strength, but I turned it off when I started seeing the extra artifacts but the results of the exports remains basically the same with or without sharpening.
    However when I import it seems my photos already have some sharpening on them in the develop module. The settings there are sharpening = 25, radius = 1, Detail = 25, masking = 0. I honestly rarely mess with the sharpening, so I guess I skipped over those settings during the countless hours I have worked with LR! But I assume those are normal post import numbers, correct? I never apply development settings during import, that's why I say that. Thanks for keeping up the conversation and brainstorming Ian! Anyone else also free to chime in.

  • Colour Casts in Prints From Aperture

    Hello,
    I have read reams of material on calibration and profiling -- probably too much, because I'm more confused than I
    was when I started.
    This is my set up:
    Nikon D300.
    Mac Pro + GeForce 7300GT + Mac Cinema Display (20 inch).
    Photoshop CS3 + Apple Aperture (2.1)
    HP Photosmart 8250 (with HP cartridges)
    This is my general workflow:
    Pictures imported from camera into Aperture. Best shots are roundtripped to Photoshop, tweaked and then
    re-imported back into Aperture as 16bit tiffs. A lot of these .tiffs are exported from CS3 in Lab Color Mode (I
    don't know if this makes any difference -- I'm clutching at straws!)
    This is my problem:
    A3 prints of my shots done by a local photography shop look amazing. The colours match the colours I see on my
    monitor. They're crisp and bright and everything I could wish for.
    However I have tried printing A4 prints locally (from Aperture) on my printer and there are different coloured
    casts that ruin the pictures.
    I have tried different Aperture device profiles... including the System Managed profile & the profile for the HP
    photo paper that I use and the shots have either a strong yellow cast or a strong pink cast depending upon the
    profile I use.
    My set-up hasn't been calibrated, and -- at this point in time -- I can't afford a calibrating device... can
    anyone make any suggestions as to how I can get better results printing at home through Aperture, please?
    Thank you very much!

    I no longer get a colour cast.
    I started with 1.5 and had some books printed these were fine. My old Canon 965i was used for printing and I got some casts adn I decided to get the B9180. Just before this I switched to Aperture 2 and now 2.1. Immediately I had colour casts and through this forum I found that I was not alone. The general view at that time was that it was a calibration issue but enough people who knew what they were talking about disproved that. The various options were to print through IPhoto, PS, PSE or some other external soutce. We all to a greater or less degree had some success.
    During this time 2.1.1 came out and HP appeared to offer an updated driver.
    In my case I re-installed everything, including the printer Firmware and carefully read everything that everybody had to say on the subject, thus in ColrSync I made sure that I had the same paper specified, that I specified it in soft proofing and that I specified it in the print menu and I variously set my Gamma between 1.05 and 1.2. I no longer have the cast but usualyl I have to do some tweaking and use a few sheets. Mostly this is with adjusting the Gamma.
    I cannot understand teh attitude of Apple on this topic and some others whereby they have professionals dependent on their product andthey do not, as I woudl expect in a customer support oriented organisation, even acknowledge teh problem, let alone give out any information. I would be happer (if I was a pro) if I heard comforting words like 'We know about this, it seems to be caused by xxx and we are working on a solution but in the meantime try bbbb.'
    The principle, in my view, should be 'You be the photographer, we will provide the tools.'

  • Colour Cast in Adobe products

    Hi all.
    I am sure someone out there can help me. I have installed CS, CS2 and now LR2.3, and every time I install an Adobe product, I struggle against reddish or orangish colour casts in my images. The same images opened in a variety of other progams do not show this colour cast.
    The following link shows an NEF image converted to greyscale in LR 2.3. If I keep it as a colour image and completely desaturate it, it has the same colour.
    Can anyone explain the colour cast, and how to ger rid of it. If you look at the thumbnails, you will see ther predominately warm cast they all have.
    Here is the link:

    It may have been your Corel software rather than a wrong monitor profile from the manufacturer that caused your issue, Johnny. I had a similar problem when LR1 came out and it was caused by a color management profile that loaded into Windows at bootup that I had completely forgotten was installed when I first installed Corel software, and it messed LR's color up.
    But I found the software eyeball calibration programs including PS Gamma to be inadequate. I mean, try it, sure, but if your results are still disappointing, especially when you try to match what you see on your monitor to what you get from a printer, do yourself a favor and get a hardware calibrator. You can spend hundreds of dollars for them, and I'm sure in many cases the expensive ones are worth every penny, just as you can justify expensive monitors and printers too for critical photo work, but my budget is much more modest. Still I found the hardware Spyder2 Express (currently $62 on amazon) color and gamma monitor calibrator to be an excellent value and
    way more effective matching monitor to printer output in Lighhtroom than the do-it-yourself free online and built-in software calibrators. I saved more in photo ink and paper in not having to redo print jobs with different settings to get printed photos to look right than I spent for the Spyder2.
    Not everybody likes them, as you'll see in Amazon reviews. You have to read S2E's readme file and follow the directions to the letter, with absolutely no shortcuts, to get good results with these, including being careful before calibrating to restore monitor defaults and set a 6500K color temperature, and have the monitor warmed up for one hour and the colorimeter warmed up for five minutes, and the room darkened with no light hitting the monitor as you calibrate; don't just try to use a hardware calibrator out of the box or follow a quick-and-dirty plug-and-pray approach as it would seem you could do, or they will disappoint, too, in my experience. Because I have a consumer-priced LCD monitor, and they are
    not good on color and gamma accuracy as a rule, I do still sometimes have to make minor adjustments to monitor settings after calibrating or minor changes to printer settings to match print to monitor, but it's much closer using hardware calibration than not.

  • How do I export jpgs as tifs with the original resolution ?

    Hi,
    I am very new to Lightroom 5 (I only installed it today (on Windows 8.1) :-)) but I have read Victoria Bampton's Quick Start Guide and have read a number of forum posts over the last few weeks to get an idea about how the program generally works.
    I am embarking on a project to scan and archive my family's photos and videos, and I will be using Lightroom to manage the collection.  To start the project, I have just imported over 10,000 digital photos taken by a variety of cameras (36 of them, according to Lightroom !)  over the last 12 years or so into a new Lightroom catalogue.   These are all currently JPEG files, but I want to keep TIFF files in the collection because my research has led me to the conclusion that TIFF is a better long-term archival format.
    I started by doing an Export of a small number of photos to save the .jpg files as .tif files, but when reviewing the results, I noticed that the image's resolution was changed during the export.  For example, one original jpg is only 96ppi but the exported tif is 240ppi.  Another jpg is 180ppi and the tif is 240ppi.  At least, that's what the metadata seems to be telling me (via the Details tab of the Properties dialog in Windows), so I assume it's true...
    I understand that the 240ppi that I am seeing in the .tif file metadata was specified in the Image Sizing section of the Export dialog, so that's not the issue.  
    I would prefer it if the .tif file has the exact same resolution (ppi) as the original .jpg, but I am unable to work out how to do it.   It would be great if the resolution setting in the Export dialog was controlled by the Resize to Fit checkbox, like the other settings in the section, but it doesn't appear to be (it's enabled even if the Resize to Fit checkbox is unticked).
    I then thought about using the Library Filters to filter by the Horizontal Resolution metadata, so that I could select all the photos with the same resolution and export just those with the Resolution setting in the Export dialog set to the right number, and then repeat that process for each different group of original photos with a different resolution.  Unfortunately, I have not been able to work out how to filter by the horizontal resolution metadata field - it doesn't seem to be available in the dropdown list of fields shown when I click on the up-down arrow next to the "Date" or "Camera" (etc.) columns in the Library Filter pane.
    Finally, here's my question (or three):  
    Is there a way to export .jpgs to .tif files while keeping the original resolution ?  
    Alternatively, is there a way to select groups of photos by their horizontal or vertical resolution (so just those photos could be exported in a group with the right resolution specified) ?
    Or is there any other way to do what I want (convert jpg to tif with the same resolution and keeping all the metadata) ?
    Thanks for reading all the way through to the end.
    John.

    These are all currently JPEG files, but I want to keep TIFF files in the collection because my research has led me to the conclusion that TIFF is a better long-term archival format.
    I'm not sure why you say this. In terms of long-term archival format, I think the two are equal, I am not aware of other reasons to do this, and thus in my opinion, the task of globally turning all your JPGs into TIFFs seems unnecessary. You don't gain anything by doing this. But you sure will spend a lot of time and take up a lot of disk space doing this.
    I would prefer it if the .tif file has the exact same resolution (ppi) as the original .jpg, but I am unable to work out how to do it.
    Again, I think you have embarked upon an unnecessary task. The ppi in the file is essentially meaningless. A photo that has (for example) 3000x2000 pixels saved at 240 ppi is the exact same photo as the same photo 3000x2000 saved at 180ppi, not a single pixel has changed. You are placing a meaning and importance to this ppi number that just doesn't exist.
    To answer your questions at the bottom, I would advise you to not do the things you are talking about, it seems to me that you have greatly misunderstood things.

Maybe you are looking for
