Massive Colour Shift Between Stills (both JPEG & TIFF) and Motion

HI There,
I'm having a lot of trouble getting still images in Motion/FCP/Quicktime to look as good as they do in Photoshop/Preview or even the Finder.
I'm guessing this is a colour space issue but I can't find any colour space controls for Motion.
Has anyone else come across this?
You can see the difference here:
Here's the JPG which looks like this in Photosop, Preview and in the Finder:
Here's what the same JPG which looks like in Motion, FCP & Quicktime:
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers

Is it in RGB to start with? That would be my guess. It should be RGB the whole way through.

    Have you checked your "Import" settings for "Raw&Jpeg" pairs in the "Import" panel?
    You can set Aperture to import raw, jpeg, or raw&jpeg.
    If you imported Raw&Jpeg, but have set Aperture to use the Jpeg as original, you will see the imported image as Jpeg image, not as a raw image, even if the raw has also been imported. You can switch between Raw and Jpeg originals for selected images from the Photos menu:
    Photos > Use Raw as original.

  • Include Develop settings in metadata inside JPEG, TIFF, and PSD files ignored when unchecked

    In the Catalog Settings under the Metadata tab, I have unchecked the option 'Include Develop settings in metadata inside JPEG, TIFF and PSD files'.
    I then selected a JPEG photograph in the Library module and chose Metadata/Save Metatdata to File.  I wanted to save the metadata that I had added (keywords, IPTC, rating, etc), but not the develop settings.
    I then imported the jpeg back into another catalog.  The metadata I had added was there as expected, but so are the develop settings.  This I did not expect or want.
    Have I got something wrong here?  My understanding is that turning off the 'Include Develop settings in metadata inside JPEG, TIFF and PSD files' option means that develop settings are not written to the xmp area in non raw files such as jpegs.
    Looks like a bug to me.

    Hello all,
    I have investigated this problem further and now have the answer.  It is not that the option "Include Develop settings in metadata inside JPEG, TIFF, and PSD files" is ignored, but it appears that the LR catalog is not properly updated when this option is turned off.
    Here are steps to test and illustrate the problem:
    1. Create a new folder and place a copy of an original jpeg image (original from camera) in the new folder.  Make sure you keep the original safe and only work on copies.
    2. Create a new catalog in Lightroom 2.3.
    3. Import the jpeg image from the new folder.
    4. Add some metadata (keywords, ratings, title, caption, IPTC data, etc).
    5. Make some Develop adjustments to the image.
    6. Open "Catalogue Settings" from the Edit menu and check (enable) the option "Include Develop settings in metadata inside JPEG, TIFF, and PSD files".  Uncheck (disable)  the "Automatically write changes into XMP" option.
    7. Select "Save Metadata to File".
    8. Delete the jpeg image from the Library module, then re-import it.
    9. Copy the original image back to the new folder, replacing the updated jpeg (once again, the jpeg image now contains no metadata from Lightroom).  At this stage, Lightroom fails to recognize that the metadata in the LR catalog doesn’t match the metadata content in the jpeg file.  I would have though that it should.
    10. Open "Catalogue Settings" from the Edit menu and uncheck (turn off) the option "Include Develop settings in metadata inside JPEG, TIFF, and PSD files".
    11. Reset the Develop settings.
    12. You now need to make a change to the metadata like increase or decrease the rating (otherwise LR won’t save any metadata to the jpeg file - LR is being too smart and thinks it’s already up to date, so does nothing when you do the next step).
    12. Select "Save Metadata to File".
    13. Delete the jpeg image from the Library module again, then re-import it again.
    14. Look at the develop settings (that you specifically did not want saved within the jpeg file in step 10).
    Although the Develop settings were Reset in step 11, you have ended up with the original Develop settings from step 5.  It is true that LR has not saved the reset develop settings, but it also hasn’t removed the old develop settings that are still stored in the catalog.  This must be considered a bug (oversight).  Note that it has also saved an Import snapshot as well.
    For the more technically minded (and the LR developers if you are listening), the field "xmp" in the table "Adobe_AdditionalMetadata" is not updated (old camera raw settings and snapshot settings are left behind) when the "Include Develop settings in metadata inside JPEG, TIFF, and PSD files" option is unchecked (disabled) and it seems that this is the data that is written to the jpeg file when you select "Save Metadata to File".  Note that the state of "Automatically write changes into XMP" has not effect on this process - I tried it on and off.
    Hope that this might be of some help to others one day.

  • What does "Include develop settings metadata inside JPEG, TIFF, and PSD files" do?

    I am wondering what the option "Include develop settings metadata inside JPEG, TIFF, and PSD files" found in catalog settings/metadata does?  what happens if you uncheck it?

    Bob12312321 wrote:
    also when this is unchecked will lightroom still save keyword changes to raw(nef) files?  thank you!
    Metadata ("real" metadata like keyowords nor develop adjustments) are never saved into non-DNG Raw files (like .nef, .cr2) directly. With these files, there is always a so called sidecar file (with the extension .xmp) created to hold the XMP information.
    And yes, if the option is unchecked, LR will save the keywords to the XMP sidecars, when you perform "Write Metadata to File" or have the autowrite option active.

  • Cannot import still image: jpeg/tiff/png/gif/ai/psd

    Hello all:
    I'm running into a strange error. No matter what size image I try, I cannot seem to import a still image into Adoe Premiere Pro cs4 running on Mac OSX 10.6.2
    The error I receive is a "File Import Error: File Video Dimensions width/height too large."
    I've tried the following to isolate why Premiere is returning this error:
    - importing images at different sizes: 100x200, 1000x2000 etc
    - saving the image as different file formats: jpeg, tiff, gif, png etc
    - importing it as an illustrator file
    - importing it as a Photoshop file
    None of that worked. I'm at my wit's end and I can't seem to find anybody that has experienced this error before.

    Here are some threads to check:

  • Color shift between image viewed in ACR and open in PS

    Today I updated Photoshop CC and now I have a slight color shift problem between the same image open in ACR and then opened in Photoshop. It appears to be slightly more saturated in ACR.
    I have tried the same thing on another computer and it does NOT have the same problem so it must have been something that happened in the update (ACR was one of the items updated). I have also compared the preferences between the two computers and they are identical.
    I guess the next thing to do is to deinstall PS and reinstall????
    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Any difference between ACR and Photoshop is most likely due to a monitor profile problem. They both use the same monitor profile, but there are differences in the actual conversion so a problem can show up differently between them.
    Is your monitor calibrated/profiled, and if so how, using what calibrator? Or are you using the Windows default (sRGB), or perhaps you got a bad manufacturer profile through Windows Update? (yes, that happens frequently).
    To find out if the monitor profile is indeed the problem, go to Control Panel > Color Management > Devices. Set sRGB IEC61966-2.1 as default profile (if it isn't already), then relaunch Photoshop/Bridge and see if the difference is still there. If your monitor is wide gamut, use Adobe RGB instead.
    Note that this doesn't fix the problem as such, but if you don't have a calibrator sRGB will usually be close enough until you decide to get one.
    If you do have and use a calibrator, make sure it is set to make v2 profiles, not v4, and matrix rather than LUT profiles.

  • Jpeg, TIFF and Raw files in iphoto

    I have all three types of files in my iphoto library. I need to sort them so I can export Raw files and some TIFF files to Elements 3 for conversion and/or editing. I need to convert some Tiffs to Jpeg to save space.
    Is there some way I can sort my 3000 files so that I can find all of a type in order to, for instance, do a Batch Rename in Elements? Is there a way to do that sort of conversion within iphoto?

      Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    To sort your pictures by file types, create Smart Folders where Filename Contains .tif or .tiff, .jpg or jpeg, etc.
    Once you have created the Smart Folders, you can export the contents of the Smart Folders to folders on your Desktop or elsewhere and then batch convert the files in Elements.
    I don't think there's a way to batch convert the files within iPhoto, but you can ask about that in this iPhoto forum.

  • Slight shift in stills after fade in and fade out? Ever seen this?

    Howdy..
    I'm editing on a MacPro, Quadr4000, CS5.5, OS 10.6.8.
    Exporting a project as ProRes 720p MRQ.
    I notice when dissolving in or out on a still, there is a slight shift in the graphic as it dissolves in (ie. during the cross dissolve) and after it's fully in (ie. after the cross dissolve has finished). This isn't apparent on the timeline or when I playback the video in Premiere, but is there after I export. It's just a slight, 1pixel movement of the graphic that is barely noticeable by annoying nonetheless..
    Any ideas as to what could be causing this? Greatly appreciated!
    Best,
    Ben

    I am starting to see something similar on my 24" 2.8Ghz Aluminum. Not as bad as you are seeing...but random artifacts. It is getting annoying, especially because my warranty just ran out.

  • Colours differ between image in PS CS4 and final saved image

    Hi
    Having an issue that is probably colour prifile ralated, but its got me stumped - i've tweeked everything to no avail!
    (See system specs at bottom of post)
    Ok, so IN photoshop itself, I open an image taken on my Nikon D300, which is set to Adobe RGB, the images are not RAW, just JPG.
    In Windows itself the photos look ok, pretty faithful to the screen on the camera, however when i open one in PS, it is hugely over-saturated.
    I have a nice photo of some red chillies on a green plate, looks good, lots of detail in the reds and greens, when viewed in windows preview, OR IN Internet explorer - and being a web designer - internet explorer is my baseline.
    Once opened in PS, the red seems to be just pure RGB red... well not that extreme but close to.
    If i soft proof, this helps a bit, but if i then save the image again, the resulting image is dull, and flat, (FAR duller than the soft proof) etc etc..
    If someone can answer this id be very greatful
    System:
    Macbook with nvidia 9400 graphics (latest drivers) running Windows 7 (32 bit)
    SCREEN CALIBRATED with a HUEY pro

    I suggest you recalibrate again and make sure the resulting profile is saved in the correct place.
    Also in case it's a Mac issue, you would be better off posting in the Mac forum.

    I doubt you need anything special. The files should open without conversion. You can double check with Adobe.

  • Using still image in FCP and Motion

    I'm using still images in Motion (and FCP) and exporting them to Quicktime movie files. What's the best size and resolution for the images and are JPGs or TIF best? I'm exporting for 720 X 480, and currently my JPGs are 4 x 6 at 300 dpi with a pixel width and height of 1312 x 2000. I'm adding some behaviors to the images in Motion (motion paths and shrink/grow).
    My FCP project is setup as a DV NTSC 48kHz, 720 x 480, editing timebase=59.94, timecode Rate=same as editing timebase, compressor-DV/DVPRO-NTSC, quality 100%.
    When I export to Quicktime the movies are very low quality--lots of noise and moire pattern etc.
    How do I get the best qualtiy using still images? Is it my FPS setting, image pixel size, compressor setting? Also, do the movies need to be deinterlaced?
    The preview in the FCP browser and canvas looks a little better but I do notice noise (moire patterns) along the sharp edges of the still images.
    I've seen QT movies of these very same images (done by someone else who is no longer around) and they are much better quality.
    Does anyone have an appropriate workflow for this type of project? The final movies are to be shown on a flatscreen monitor from a local computer, so the file sizes can be relatively large (300mb).
    I can post an example of he movie files if that might help.
    Thanks.

    David, your a genius!!! You posted your reply on my birthday, and I missed it until today!
    Fotomagico is devastatingly easy to use and absolutely makes me want to cry at the amount of time I wasted creating photo slideshows in FCP!
    I opened Fotomagico up and created a slideshow, one that I had already created in FCP and had take me FIVE HOURS to create... in TEN MINUTES!!!!!!!!! Aaaaaaaaah.
    I couldn't believe it. I thought there had to be a catch or something. This was too easy the quality can't be there... but it was. It's amazing and I can't thank you enough for all the future hours you have saved for me.

  • Photoshop to Lightroom Colour Shift

    Hi all,
    I've recently upgraded from CS5 to CC after purchasing a Nikon D7100 over christmas and thus needing the latest versions fro RAW support (Nikon NEF).
    My problem is I am experiencing colour shift between Photoshop and Lightroom after upgrading. I have set Lightroom to use 16-bit ProPhoto RGB images when editing in Photoshop.  My computer is a Late 2012 MacMini with an Apple Thunderbolt Display.
    I originally posted this in the Photoshop forum and have moved it over here after being recommended to do so.
    The image below shows the problem, where the colour is correct in Photoshop, but not in Lightroom.
    In the other thread we went through the motions and eliminated:
    D7100 Camera Raw Profile
    Lens profile
    Screen calibration and profile
    It seems most likely at this point that Lightroom is applying some kind of alterations to the image settings. If I Right Click a problem image in lightroom and say "edit in photoshop with lightroom adjustments" that colours appear incorrect in photoshop, too.
    Can anyone make any suggestions here?  I can't seem to get anything I shot last weekend out of lightroom with the correct colours!
    Thanks,
    Dan.

    A “raw” HDR image has darks that are too dark to see detail in and lights that are too bright to see any detail in.  The process of “tone mapping” is what scrunches all the floating point values into the normal range of black to white.  Once an image is tone mapped its pixel values all fall into the range of zero to whatever the maximum value is for white in a 16-bit or 8-bit format and it can be saved as such.  The 32-bit floating point image is supposed to be temporary on the way to an 8- or 16-bit image.  Personally I save the original 32-bit image in a separate file from the tone-mapped 16- or 8-bit image so I can always go back and revisit the tone mapping operation.
    LR supports 32-bit images otherwise you would see nothing.  Here is a discussion about why things look different that includes Eric Chan, an Adobe Raw Engineer, to someone bringing up a similar concern a little over a year ago:
    ttp://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/lightroom_preview_of_hdr_tonemapped_i mage_doesnt_match_what_is_shown_in_photoshop_acr
    It used to be that Photoshop was the only Adobe product that could open 32-bit files and tone-map them to 16- or 8-bits and I would argue that it did an unsatisfying job.  Eventually this capability was added to LR and the ACR plug-in for Photoshop which does a better job, but being raw converters, the starting point looks brighter on screen.
    Photomatix is a payfor product that also does a good job with both merging and tone-mapping to 16- or 8-bits.  It comes with both a standalone and a plug-in interface.  There are others, but Photomatix is the one I’ve tried in the past.

  • Phase shift between a pulse and sin wave

    Hello,
    I was wondering if there is any VI that I can use to get the phase shift between a pulse and a sin wave (they have same frequency).
    The Ideal case is that the pulse should go to 1 when sin wave is positive and goes to 0 when the sin wave is negative. I want to set this test to measure the phase shift between pulse going to one and sin wave going positive.
    We just bought labview full version with Signal processing package, and I was wondering if there is anything that would be useful for me.

  • CS5 Save as Jpeg gives colour shift - OK as PSD/Tiff

    Hi Guys,
    This is a follow on from the "lightroom /CS5 colour shift post" which I have now narrowed down to the following:
    I use Win XP pro sp3 fully updated, Dell PC 4GB Ram, LR and CS5 both latest versions. Print through Qimage to epson 7880 - Workflow/ monitor all fully colour profiled. Workspace adobe 1998
    Colour setting:
    These settings have not changed in years.
    My issue is that if I open a jpeg image in CS5 (colour is correct), save as psd or tiff (the colour is correct)
    BUT if I save as jpeg (having done nothing to the file!) the colour on the saved file has shifted
    I am not getting any profile mismatch warnings - this problem has only surfaced in the last few weeks.
    Any ideas would be much appreciated
    Thanks, Nigel 

    Hi again, Sorry had a busy weekend so I had
    to disappear! Ok Firstly I cannot understand why a monitor profile could
    be the culprit (just to rehash I develop a jpe
    g in LR (colour is good, Print is good) Op
    en in Cs5 colour looks same. If I save as PSD or Tiff Colour stays the same and prints same - Happy days!
    But If I save as a jpeg (with or without a file number change the colour looks ok in CS. BUT when I close it & open it again in CS the colour has shifted. Also this shift is clearly visible in LR and QImage and in the print! It seems to me that the save as jpeg is the problem.
    But just in case I  reprofiled the monitor this morning (Eye1 display2) but problem is the same.
    It has been suggested to me that the best thing to do is to reload CS5 might cure this.  Any thoughts?
    Also if i do that (I am on upgrades since v5 missing only CS4) Is there a way to skip loading all the versions?
    Thanks Nigel

  • Hex colour shift from Indd to PH, both assigned sRGB

    Hi everyone. I am doing some wire framing in indesign with buttons and other colours. I would like to keep everything pretty tight so when I use anything graphics from indesign and place them in photoshop I want the hex values to match. I have assigned both programs with sRGB IEC61966-2.1. But when I copy and paste into Photoshop the value changes slightly.
    I have 2 colour with Hex values of:
    #59B124 - Green 89/177/36
    #FFD911 - Red 255/217/17
    Made using the great script by in-tools. But when placed in ph the colour shift ever so slightly. Green becomes #58b023 and the Red becomes #fc1713. Is there any way to make sure when these copy over the colours match.
    Thanks

    by not including a profile and not colour managing either apps
    Not including a profile doesn't mean there's no CM. If there's no document profile assignment, the Color Settings' Working Space is used instead. So without document profiles, and an RGB Working space of sRGB in both programs, the preview of 89/177/36 would be the same. It looks like when document profiles are used there's some kind of conversion when you cut and paste, which shouldn't happen.
    You could leave your docs with no profile assigned and then when you save for web include the working sRGB profile
