Match Colors (Picture Styles) for D7100

Hello Everyone,
i am fairly new to Aperture and developing RAW Files. I´m currently testing out different RAW Converters and are between chairs on Lightroom and Aperture.
This far i like the workflow and handling of Aperture much better despite on thing.
While shooting JPEGs on my Nikon D7100 i like the colors set to Picture Style Neutral best and Lightroom does have Camera Calibration with this Colorset already matched perfectly. Aperture does display colors very differently. I tried to match colors manually and save it as a preset. So far without success.
Color reproduction could make the edge and i would prefere Aperture if i managed to get the colors right. How could i make a own Colorpreset "Neutral" in Aperture. Playing with the Color Brick didn´t work. I guess because i where doing it wrong.
Thank you,
Christian

Sorry, nevermind.
I just found a Thread discussing the exact same thing.
Seems like it is not that easy.

Canon EOS400d 'Picture Styles' & RAW

Can someone please clarify whether or not using different Picture Styles when shooting has any impact on the camera's RAW file, and consequently affects what can be tweaked when processing with Aperture?
Also, what exactly is being 'boosted' in the RAW fine tuning adjustments panel....?

In your opinion, am I losing anything by processing
RAW with Aperture as opposed to using Canon's own DPP
software (which I think just doesn't cut the mustard)
or even ACR with Photoshop?
Not a lot, apart from the vignetting and chromatic abberation correction in ACR.
I actually shoot with a
modified 'standard' style, but from what you are
saying, if I'm using Aperture, this won't matter -
presumably the picture styles only affect how the
400d processes JPEGs in-camera. Correct?
If you set a picture style for a RAW file, DPP will process it to look like the equivalent JPEG, while Aperture should give a result similar to the picture style set to unmodified standard.
I tried using CaptureOne LE which is actually quite a
nice utility (especially as it was free with some CF
cards!) but it doesn't have the capabilities or ease
of use that Aperture has.
C1 is good, even the LE version, but it doesn't really have any cataloguing features or an easy workflow.

Color Effect Styles?

Hi
How can get Color Effect Styles for Movie clips using AS3?
How can remove tint for movieclip in AS3?
Thanks
Regards
Balasubramaniyan.S

Basically Tint is coloring a movieclip. Which you can do like this:
var ct:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform();
ct.color = 0x123456;
_mc.transform.colorTransform =ct;
But if you want to specifically manipulate Tint parameters, you can customize the colorTransform properties:
var ct:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform();
ct.redMultiplier = ----something---;
ct.alhpaMultiplier = ----something---;
_mc.transform.colorTransform =ct;
You need to read more on the ColorTransform class from AS3 LangRef.

Need picture style control for photo and video wit...

Lumia 1020 stands for its excellent phone camera. But I am very disappointed with its JPG output. The whitle balance is always a big problem, then too much contrast and oversaturation. True, the photo is crystal sharp, but who needs a bad color photo with great sharpness?
After Lumia Black, the DNG format comes. Now I cannot shoot without it. So I just find the 1020 is really great, but the built-in processing destorys all.
I don't know about other phone camera, but just look at the iphone's. Thanks to its great overall JPG output quality, keep much more details, so people love to use post-fx apps in their phone to make good-looking photos. Then 1020 for me, I just have to live with the DNGs instead of easy sharing.
808 Pureview has all the picture style control funtion, even in video !! Down the contrast sharpness and saturation, then the semi-CineStyle is coming! Look at the 1020's video sample, it is a shame.
All I want to say is: Can you (I don't know to call Nokia or Microsoft) make some control opitions like 808 or just low down the over contrast/saturation/sharpness photo and video. I don't wanna see a such amazing sensor and lens camera like this terrible.

In very general terms, the requirements for Video will exceed those for Photoshop (PS). If you are looking at PrPro CS5, then the video card WILL make a difference, and PS CS5 now takes advantage of the video card, than before.
For PS, the minimum HDD setup would be a 2x system with physical (not partitions) HDD's. Video has more requirements in this area, and I would say that a 3x setup is the minimum. Do read Harm's linked article, as it is the best that I have ever run across.
For the PS setup, just locate the Scratch Disks for PS on your extra HDD's, the ones with your Project and PrPro Scratch Disks.
Enjoy the new computer, and welcome to the forum,

Looking for a monitor that will match the picture quality on my Macbook Pro.

Today i bought a 27" LED Monitor w/ 2560 X 1440 resolution. The specs on the box seemed to match that of a thunderbolt display yet when connected (via HDMI) the picture quality was significantly lower than that of my Macbook Pro (13.3" 2.9 Ghz July 2012). Im likely to return this monitor due to the poor quality. What i want to know is what kind of monitor is out there that will match the color and quality of my macbook pro. I am willing to lose monitor size in return for this quality but i dont want to spend $1,000 on a thunderbolt display (i spent $400 on this monitor). Any one out the with monitor knowledge to help me out in my purchasing decision?

For anyone out there with a similar problem, after a few days of researching the issue i've found a solution. The problem being that HDMI cables wont support resolution higher than 1080p (1920 x 1080) therefore using an HDMI connection, your monitor wont output to its full potential (that is ofcourse if it can support higher than 1920 x 1080). The solution is to use a DisplayPort connection. DisplayPort is the best connection for computer monitors because it can output higher resolutions than hdmi and in most cases DVI. Today it seems like everyone is using HDMI to connect everything and it has become the standard. In the case of TV/Cable HDMI is probably your best choice because it is more properly formatted for that type of display but if you want the best picture quality for computer monitors, i'd stick with a DisplayPort cable. For compatibility with your Macbook Pro/Air/iMac, you do need to buy a MiniDisplayPort to DisplayPort converter cable to make the connection.
Again this is just how to output a non-apple display to your apple computer. If you can afford them, the ThunderBolt and Apple Cinema displays are both great monitors that can output some really high quality picture as well.

Canon Pictures Style and Color Space

Hello!
I need some clarifications.
If I well understand Aperture do not consider the Canon setting for Picture Style when shooting in RAW.
Is it correct?
The same is valid for the color space.
Thank you!!!
Max

Yes...You understood! Thank you very much
What about the color space when shooting in RAW? I noticed that even if my camera settings were sRGB, Aperture shown Adobe.
Thank you!

Color Picture of Steve Jobs that I would like to send to Apple for use in his honor. I prefer Color

I would like to send Apple a Color Picture of Steve Jobs that I found on Google. it's the same picture Steve Jobs Biography that
Walter Isaacson wrote. except it's in color. What I did was use my Drawing Pad Program to bring in the picture and then I brought in a splash I croped with Steve Jobs 1955-2011 and saved it. I want you all at Apple to have a copy to use for his memormial eash year. And Thank you Tim Cook and everyone at Apple for honoring Steve's values in keeping Apple products the great products that they are and will remain. Siri is such a riot. I have so much with her. I was able to use Best Buy's Trade-in Program and I traded my iPad 2 in for the new iPad 3rd Generation. I am one that needs Siri to help me spell some words when I get brain lock. lol. . She is also fun to play with. I asked her to tell me a joke, she came back with, " Two iPhones walk in a bar, I forget the rest. LOL. you all have an ad with this joke. I haven't asked her any questions on sports yet. I like figure skating in the winter olympics beacause it's so graceful.
Very Sincerely,

My pictures are not printing well--how do you do a proper color calibration say for--Costco

My pictures are not printing well--how do you do a proper color calibration say for--Costco, Target and other companies? They lack color and are too dark, but on my Retina OSX 10.9.4, they look dreamy!

Hi Clinton,
Firstly thank you for replying to my plight. I just use Costco, Target. They all come back rather dark, or on the brown grey side especially Costco. I will try to ask these companies for their color profile, but then what do I do with it once I have it? I am not computer literate, so you would have to explain in English for sure. I do not use a printer for printing--only commercial places. I loved Apple printing, but sometimes they take a little too long turn around time so I use Ritz Pics (which I have little trouble with their pictures).
Thank you so much for your help!!!!!

Background Color and Pattern Style for SSRS textbox in Tablix/Matrix

HI,
I have a requirement where I need to highlight the textbox background by dotted pattern style along with the relevant color. It is straight forward in Excel (by choosing Format Cells -> Fill -> background color/Pattern Style etc.), however SSRS
seems to provide color only without the pattern style. I tried to work around this by putting in a chart (data bar), which then allows to select the Pattern Style along with color, but the resulting text value is not crisp at all, value needs to
be displayed as data bar label and also once exported to Excel the Cell value only comes out as image instead of actual value.
Need to achieve the same with SSRS. If anybody has done similar, thanks in advance.

Hi dthapa,
According to your description, you want to set pattern style with color for your textbox in your report. You want to achieve the same effect in SSRS as the same thing you did in Excel. Right?
In Reporting service, we can only fill the textbox with colors or background image. So for your requirement, we try this workaround: Set pattern with colors for a cell in an Excel file. Cut the cell as image. Import this image into SSRS and set it as background
image for textbox.
Reference:
Text Boxes (Report Builder and SSRS)
Textbox Properties - Format Tab (Visual Studio Report Designer)
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best Regards,

Converting .tif files for match color output

How do you take a file from cmyk to a single match color output form and is there a way to do it for a duotone to insure that it seperates properly in pre-press?

I'm not certain I follow the question but here's my take on it.
For a single match color (I would assume you mean monotone):
1) Convert the image to Grayscale
2) Under Image select Duotone
3) In the duotone panel select Monotone (that's usually the default) and select the color you want to use there
For a duotone:
1) Convert the image to Grayscale
2) Under Image select Duotone
3) In the duotone panel select Duotone and select the colors you want to use
As for making sure it separates properly:
It should separate exactly the way the levels/curves are adjusted in Photoshop.

Canon (EOS 50D) Picture Styles in LR41

Hey there,
first let me tell you that I'm familiar with LR concepts. I read a lot about RAW processing, color profiles and stuff. It all makes sense to me.
That having said... I'm unfortunatly quite unhappy with LR's color reproduction. It seems technically very accurate; unfortunatly -- Canon's own "Standard Picture Style" (so OOC JPEGs) are in most cases much nicer to look at, color-wise.
I know it's not me alone having this feeling (just do a quick search).
Adobe provides look-alike profiles (.DCP-files) which are supposed to imitate Canon's Picture Styles. Unfortunatly none of these Adobe-profiles comes close (enough, IMHO) - most annoying thing for me is a strange blue/green cast in darker areas, e.g. shadows in daylight conditions are too bright and too blueish.
Remember, I'm using a EOS 50D (which probably won't get profile updates any more by Adobe, I suppose...)
So here's my question:
Can I assume that Adobe already did the best they can to match Canon's Picture Style?
==> stop dreaming about a "better" "canon-50d-standard.dcp"-file.
Take it or leave it, stop crying.
Or is there a possibility to tweak existing profiles?
==> find out how.
Adobe's DCP editor, dcptool, whatever?
Thanks for your suggestions!
Medon

Hmm, well...
Which one do you like best, which looks worst, and why?
Pictures A/B/C
All three unchanged except for the different applied profiles.
Cheers, Medon
P.S.:
If you'd like to please download them to a folder, so you can flip through them. Side-by-side comparison doesn't reveal the differences so well, IMHO.

LR working w Canon RAW with Picture Style

Hi there,
I LOVE LR, like it workflow & retouching but... i very confuse recently with LR
I know LR can't "read" those picture style setting...one day, i tested Canon 5DMKII raw Canon DPP vs LR, sigh....Canon is much better I do think, color in LR is not so good enogh
any comment n idea to deal with raw in LR,
superb appreciate!
Teddy

I shoot Canon but have never experimented much with Picture Style settings. But looking at my camera's Field Guide Book, it says that Picture Styles make adjustments in Tone Curve and Color Saturation. In the Landscape Picture Style specifically, the book suggests the camera also adjusts Color Temperature for greens and blues.
There's no foolproof automatic, one-click way to get the exact same effect as you'd get with a Picture Style in LR, of course, but you can experiment in Develop Mode. You should be able to come close. In fact, you should be able to find more nuanced adjustments that look even better to you, with some practice.
In most cases, rather than adjust the Color Saturation slider in LR, try the Vibrance slider first. (I would slide Vibrance to the right a bit to duplicate in LR's Develop mode what Canon's DPP is doing in these shots.)
To adjust color temperature in LR, you can experiment with the various presettings found when clicking the arrow to the right of "As Shot," or in the second shot, by clicking the eyedropper icon to the left of "WB" and then clicking something purely white (the left subject's jacket, or a white part of a cloud). More nuanced adjustments can be made with the Temp and Tint sliders. It appears to me that in the first shot, Canon's selecting a slightly warmer color temp (higher Temp number) than you set in LR, and in the second shot, Canon's selecting a slightly cooler color temp (lower Temp number) than you are in LR. You could try those adjustments in LR and see if you agree.
I would avoid using the Brightness or Contrast sliders or the Tone Auto button in LR to adjust the tone curve, and instead experiment with three other ways LR's Develop mode can help you adjust the tone curve in a more nuanced way. One is to position the LR cursor in the Histogram so you get a double-sideways arrow icon, and drag the bars left and right, particularly near the two sides of the histogram, until the tone curve extends to each end of the histogram without lighting up either of the triangles in the two upper corners of the histogram.
A different way to adjust the tone curve in LR is to start by moving the Exposure slider so that the overall exposure looks correct. For these two shots, the histogram will be highest in the middle if the Exposure slider is set correctly. (With a nighttime scene or other predominantly dark shot, of course, you want the histogram highest on the left side, not balanced in the middle.) Then, if the histogram does not extend all the way to the left of the graph, move the Blacks slider to the right until the triangle in the upper left lights up, then reduce the Blacks slider just until that triangle goes dark again. Then, if the triangle in the upper right corner of the histogram is lit, move the Recovery slider higher just until the upper right corner triangle goes dark. (If that triangle is already dark, leave the Recovery slider at 0.) Finally, you can move the Fill Light slider if you want to decrease contrast, as in your second shot, make the shadows a bit lighter. Otherwise, leave it at 0. Some photographers would, and some wouldn't. Others would just say, don't take a shot like that in harsh midday light if you have a choice, but not everybody can wait around for a week until the light is perfect!
The third way to adjust the tonal curve in LR is to scroll down in Develop mode and manipulate Tone Curve in various ways. You can drag the sliders in the Tone Curve graph, click points on the graph and drag them up or down, or move the sliders under the Tone Curve. Both your shots appear to me to have slightly lower levels on the dark side of the graph, as if Canon's DPP had pulled LR's Darks and Shadows sliders slightly left. But you'll have to experiment. And this is why it's best not to use Brightness and Contrast in LR, particularly in the second shot, but instead use the Tone Curve or Histogram sliders, because you don't want to affect the contrast everywhere in the shot to get the effect DPP is getting; you want to adjust the contrast specifically in just the darker or shadowed areas.
Finally, are you using a hardware to device to calibrate your monitor? If your prints are not matching what you see displayed in Lightroom, particularly in color and contrast, and you haven't tried a monitor calibrator (hardware, not just software with eyeball adjustments), I'd suggest trying one. Don't just plug it in and use it, read and follow all the instructions carefully. Otherwise it may not help or may even make things look worse.

Canon Picture Style Support in Aperture

Is there a way to support the Canon Picture Styles in Aperture? The reason I want to use the Picture Styles is as they give a basic touch to pictures which is often fine for most picture. Only some pictures I really want to go through the full range of processing.
When I shoot picture using my EOS 400D and apply a specific Picture Style, i.e. monochrome, portrait or landscape, then this setting is not applied when importing the pictures into aperture at all!
I realized this when using monochrome as a picture style and then the pictures turned up in color in aperture...

this is probably a good way to come up with your own presets ...
i personally have never used the picture styles (except the BW on my IR only camera - i only want BW jpgs) ... but conceivably you could shoot RAW+JPEG and tweak the RAW till it looks like the JPEG and save those as presets ... it may take a few times to get them close ...
but definitely worth a shot if the picture styles really is the way you want to go ...

Importing Canon Picture Styles into Aperture (how to keep the metadata) RAW

I have a Canon 30D. Often I use the picture styles settings to shoot Monochromes. When I bring them up in Aperture to import they read as Monochromes (they are RAW) and as soon as I import them....Aperture strips it. This is pretty frustrating when I have a shoot of 300 images and 85 of them are black and whites. Canon software keeps the settings if I use their software, but i'm building an Aperture Library.
Does anyone have a fix around this?

Although I don't know for sure, it is possible that Canon Picture Styles are not in industry standard EXIF, and so they might be a Canon private format only readable by Canon software. If that is the case, there isn't much Apple can do but reach some kind of deal with Canon. Apple may or may not want to go to the trouble, because they might not want to also support the private data in other manufacturers' private raw data, like Nikon's encrypted white balance.
It's worth noting that Adobe's software doesn't read Canon Picture Styles either; I've read posts asking about it on their forums too.
Possibly worth noting most of all: The only advantage to shooting in monochrome is to be able to use the camera to visualize it. You can often get a better black-and-white by customizing the conversion from the original raw color data.
