  • Why is Lightroom significantly altering the color and saturation of my images?

    The past few weeks I have been working on a project that involves some very low key and low saturation images.
    After creating the general mood and tone of the shots in Lightroom. I then export them to photoshop for retouching and final adjustments. I an exporting to photoshop in profoto RGB. The images open in photoshop looking just fine. I complete the work and save them. When I review the saved tiffs in Lightroom they are much much darker than my working file and signifigantly reduced in saturation (almost to grayscale). There is also a signifigant change in the image when moving from develop to library modes. I know there is always a small change, but this is a very noticeble and signifigant one. When I open the file in PS it looks ok. But when I export the file from LR as a jpg it is again washed out, darker and in general wrong.
    This is onl happenign with thes elow saturation color images - All my other images work fine and export as expected, and this workflow has worked well for me for some time. Any thoughts would be apprecaited.

    Here is side-by-side comparison of LR, Saved-back-to-TIF-in-LR, and PS versions that doesn't really show any difference other than the estimated sharpness of the CR2 being too much:
    The LR settings applied to the CR2 are:  Exp -0.5, Cont +50, Clarity +40, Vibrance -60
    I have a calibrated normal-gamut monitor, not a wide-gamut monitor.
    If you can provide your edited TIF file out of PS via copy.com I can test things with your exact adjustments, instead of guessing some reduced exposure and color settings.
    As a comparison of what you're seeing, here is a all-in-one side-by-side of the three images you included, above, where you saved out of PS as sRGB, and in that case, the Library version seems less saturated than the PS and LR-Dev versions which seem similar:
    For each side-by-side screenshot, above, I have opened it in Photoshop, which is untagged, and assigned my monitor profile, then converted to sRGB, so the screenshots, themselves, should look right when viewed using an sRGB colorspace.

  • Photomerge panorama: After creating how do you add color and saturation?

    Photomerge panorama: After creating, how do you add color or saturation?

    You don’t use selections. The adjustments apply to the whole image. You can alternatively select Curves instead of Hue/Saturation and apply the adjustments to highlights, shadows etc.
    Otherwise you need to make a duplicate layer and apply the layer mask to make adjustments to a particular area.
     

  • Installed Yosemite and iPhoto 9.6. A lot of my photos are much too dark now and the colour is not right. Any fix available? I did a backup prior to the new installs.

    Installed Yosemite and iPhoto 9.6. A lot of my photos are now too dark and the colour is way off from the originals. Any suggestions to correct this mess. I did a backup prior to installing Yosemite and iPhoto 9.6.

    Check the monitor settings in the System/Displays/Color preference pane.  You may have to change the color profile used or calibrate the monitor. 
    Also check the System/Accessibility preference pane to see if the Increase contrast checkbox is checked. If it is check it and see if there's any improvement.

  • Legalities of color-and why are my RGB values inconsistent?

    Hi there,
    I have a client who is trying to trademark their logo and the RGB values. I have sent them the files and corresponding RGB values, but when they check the files in their mac Digital Color Meter they come up with different values. On my own computer, the values are consistent in the DCM and Photoshop, although I opened it on another computer and found that while the values were still correct when I open the files in Photoshop, the DCM values were incorrect there too.
    Does anybody have any history with this? Should I just tell them to ignore their DCM and that Photoshop is correct, or am I doing something wrong with profiles or something? It wouldn't be such a big deal but for the legal implications behind it...
    Thanks for any help!!

    I was referring to "Scene Referred" CCchart Lab reference numbers derived from measurements taken of this chart from a spectrophotometer. You'll note the black patch is at L20 according to X-rite. The white patch is quite easy to attain L96 without clipping during exposure of the CCchart to build the profile from using DNG Profile Editor.
    What's not easy to control during exposure is the contrast ratio recorded by the camera. Adjusting the middle slider in Levels or the Contrast slider in ACR will show just how much contrast affects hue and saturation viewed on a display. Reality doesn't behave this way.
    Contrast/Luminance ratio's are disregarded or barely adjusted for in the DNG CCchart Wizard to come up with proper hue/saturation levels for each of the 18 color patches. The contrast adjusts required to get all 24 patches to match exactly (especially black at L20) makes the image not look right or follow a normal human visual response or perception.
    You can adjust contrast in the image after applying the new profile to get a reasonably correct look but quite a few of the 24 patches go off the charts according to the X-rite reference Lab numbers. The whole reason for going by the Lab numbers in profiling a device like a DSLR in the first place is to maintain consistency image to image by using measured results. As you can see this is not possible to achieve in a photograph except maybe in a controlled studio environment, but it does work when trying to match single spot colors that aren't influenced by the surround effect that affects human perception inherent in a photographed scene. A pleasing photograph is not about accurate numbers.
    A spectrophotometer is a static device that only reads and measures color wave lengths from color patches and converts them to Lab numbers. It's not a constantly adjusting device like our eyes which adapts to hue, saturation, color temp and contrast levels in any given scene.
    I'm going to post three images of a CCchart exposed under a high noon sun that I used to build two different DNG profiles. The first is using ACR default DNG converted source image and doing a straight dual illuminant table profile according to instructions. They're screenshots that include Apple's DCM to show how the black patch changes to accommodate exact Lab numbers as opposed to achieving a pleasing look. You'll note the more the image is made to "pop" the less accurate the Lab readouts and appearance.

  • Why are colors in Illustrator 6 so much darker than in Illustrator 4?

    I recently switched from Illustrator CS4 to CS6. The colors in 6 are much darker than in 4, and are not accurate to actual Pantone colors (they were very close to being accurate in 4). Has anyone experienced this, and does anyone know what to do about this?

    Your color management settings may have changed since you said all colors are darker. check your color management settings match between CS6 & CS4.
    Edit >> Color Settings
    In regards to the difference between CS6 and CS5 or before the color books are now LAB not CMYK, so that means the values are different. A bad thing for print if you change the color mode to CMYK, the colors will be far off what the PMS book says, and you will have to manually fix this e color to match what CS4 uses.
    CS5 the book colors were in CMYK so when you converted to CMYK the colors were a close match for printing.
    In CS6 the color books switched to LAB which may be more accurate for RGB and digital workflows, but not Print CMYK.
    In CS6 converting to CMYK, introduces scum dot (small value which serves little purpose and introduces screening) in cyan and black you would not desire, and in for example flexible packing scum dot would increase the visibility of a moire pattern. For printing never use the CMYK conversion in CS6.
    Depending which PMS book you use the CMYK values change.
    485 is 95m 100y in the Latest Color Bridge Book, so many brands prior to the bridge book reject that cmyk match for brand consistency with existing printing.
    485 is 95m 100y in the solid process book.  Many brands stick to this especially if they are matching what their brand was prior to the color bridge.

  • Updated to 7.2.2 and the clips in the timeline are a much darker tone.

    I recently updated to 7.2.2 of premiere and the clips in the timeline are now a much darker tone. Did this come in the update and if so can I turn it off or make the colors brighter?

    Kevin,
    Sorry to say, I'm with those who feel the color-picker colors should be the same as we pick 'em to be ... wherever they're applied. We have always had the ability to choose more muted colors if we wanted, but now by design we cannot choose the actual color/hue value ... and at that much "darkness" increase, several of the colors don't have an obvious "match" anymore with colors in the bins.
    I cannot see any increase in productivity/ease-of-use from this change that we users didn't have easily and obviously available before. It has directly limited our choices now. I'm not as audio-tied as many users who do multiple audio tracks for music videos and such would be ... so the main effect this has on me is making my timeline less easily obvious. Struggling user that I am, I prefer painfullly obvious if at all possible! 
    I understand you've got five tons of irons in the fire both fixing some other more major-seeming issues and also trying to create new tools as we users keep asking for things. Still ... this would be something I would also appreciate rolling back in a sooner than later update.

  • These i7 4770K Temperatures And Voltage Values Are Normal With Z87-G43?

    Hello everyone,
    I recently upgraded my good old Core2Duo rig and bought a new cpu-motherboard-ram trio. My new specs is as follows:
    - i7 4770K @ stock speed + Coolermaster 212Evo cpu cooler
    - MSI z87 g43 motherboard
    - 2x4 GB G-Skill Ripjaws X 1866Mhz
    - Case: Corsair Carbide 400R
    The problem is I wasn't aware of that new Haswell cpus are running slightly hotter and now I'm little bit worried about my temperatures. Since I was also planning to overclock my cpu a bit and trying to find a point that doesn't need a vast voltage increase, I'm losing my sleeps over this situation at the moment.
    Anyways. I'm using softwares like HWmonitor, Coretemp, Realtemp and Intel Extreme Tuning Utility. Turbo Boost is also active. So the cpu is going up until 3.9 GHz. Other than that I'm on stock speeds, and motherboard's default values. Here are my temperatures:
    Ambient room temp: Varies between 23-25 °C
    Idle: 28-30 °C
    While playing demanding games like Battlefield 4: Max 58-65°C
    With Intel Extreme Tuning's stress test for 15 mins: max 65-70 °C
    With Prime 95 Blend and OCCT burn tests for 15 mins: max 78-82 °C
    I also run realtemp's sensor test and the values are identical since it's using Prime95 too.
    I also noticed that Prime 95 and OCCT is increasing my cpu voltage value from 1.156 to 1.21 while Intel Extreme Tuning's stress test and BurnInTest is using 1.156v. All these test are using %100 of the cores. Couldn't understand why there's a voltage increase on certain tests which leads my temps go even higher and higher. Will I encounter these kinds of random voltage increases during normal tasks? Like playing games, rendering some stuff etc..?
    On the other hand I tried motherboard's OC Genie future to see what happens. It overclocked the cpu automatically to 4.0 GHz @1.10v. With this setting I've seen max of 70 °C for a second and mostly 65-68°C under OCCT stress test. And also my voltage didn't increase at all and sit at 1.10. I'm a bit confused about these values. Since with default settings I'm getting hotter values and my voltage is going up to 1.21 with Turbo Boost under Prime95/OCCT burn tests. I also found out that my BIOS is v1.0. I don't really have a performance or a stability issue for now except this voltage thing. Does a BIOS update help on that situation? I don't really like to touch something already working OK and end up with a dead board.
    Also I'm wondering if my temperature values are normal with the cpu cooler i have (Coolermaster 212evo)?
    I also could buy some extra fans for my case (1 exhaust to top & 1 intake to side) and maybe a second fan for the cpu cooler if you guys think that these would help a bit.
    Sorry for my English by the way. I'm not a native speaker.
    Thanks for all your comments and suggestions already.

    Thanks for the reply Nichrome,
    I will follow your suggestions for the fans. Currently I don't have any fans on top. But I'm considering to buy some fans to top and side. So you get better results with top fans being exhaust right?
    Also which fan are you using as the second fan for the cpu heatsink? I would buy one of these as well since we have the same heatsink.
    I'm also using the default/auto voltages and settings at the moment. Just Turbo Boost is enabled and when it kicks in voltage is going up to 1.156. Which seems normal and doesnt produce dangerous level of heat. The thing is if I start running Prime95&OCCT the voltages going up to 1.21+ level at the same turbo boost speed (which is 3.9 GHz). And that produces a lot more heat than usual. But if I use BurnInTest or Intel Extreme Tuning Utility stress test the voltages sit at 1.156 and under full load on all cores. I'm wondering what's the reason of this difference and if it is software or motherboard related. Even with using the OC Genie @ 4.1 GHz temperatures and voltages seem lower than the stock&auto settings (idle 35-38 / stress test with OCCT 70C max, gaming 60-65C max). I'm not sure if a BIOS update would fix this. Since the whole BIOS flashing process is creeping me out. I don't like to bother with something that is already working OK. Don't want to end up with a dead board in the end :P Maybe I'm becoming a bit paranoid though, since this is a really hard earned upgrade after 6 years. :P

  • Pie Chart Legend - colors and sorting value

    <p>Hi,</p><p>I have a pie chart with around 20 &#39;segments&#39; representing names of people - so it looks like several of them have the same color.</p><p>So my first question is do the standard 12 colors repeat after 12 segments have been &#39;defined&#39; - can this be extended with custom colors?.  I know you can set colors for specific values but as the list is dynamic, I can&#39;t do that. </p><p>I also have a legend defined which shows the person&#39;s name and then the value - either a percentage or a count etc.    From top to bottom, the legend lists the entries alphabetically by the person&#39;s name - however, it&#39;s not always easy to tell which name is associated with which &#39;segment&#39; and using labels is not an option as they are too long and there are too many of them to be readable<br /></p><p>So what I would like to do is have the legend displayed in numerical size order - e.g. person with largest % is at the top, smallest % is at the bottom etc.</p><p>I&#39;ve been looking at the Chart Expert, CR Help and the forums but have not seen an answer to either question - I&#39;m hoping someone can tell me if it&#39;s possible or not (and if so, how do I do it!).</p><p>Thanks <br /></p>

    Hi,
    If you go to the Chart Expert, on the data tab, you can choose the Top N option. From within there you can get your legend sorted based on the highest or lowest percentage. You can also group information so that you only see the top 5 or lowest 10 or whatever you want.
    Also when I create a pie graph based on 20 plus pieces of data it isn't resusing the colors, but they are somewhat similar. I usually do a group of the top 10 or so, then have an others category for situations like this.Â

  • JText Area( mixing colors and fonts)

    Hi,
    I`m trying to implement a JTextArea that allows the user to type away quite happilly in a default font and color, but if needed they can click a button, and then when they resume typing it will display the new text in a different font and color. Is this possible? If so, how?
    At the moment when they click the button, all the previous text as well as the new text changes to the new font.
    Basically I was wondering if it was possible for a JTextArea to display text of vaying fonts and colors.
    Thanx in advance.

    Try using a textPane instead. Combine this with a RTFTextEditor and you can use every available font,color and other attributes on every part of your text. There are lots of examples about this subject (even some of mine as well) so just search the forum archive.
    Hope this will get you in the right way...

  • Help me solve color and dark print issue with a new monitor recommendation!

    I know, I hate "surveys" too. I'm thinking of attacking my color and dark printing issues w\LR and CS4, by investing in a new monitor. I currently have an 20' early edition Apple Cinema Display. The monitor is the last hardware (software) item in my current upgrade cycle. From those folks who are NOT having color or print problems, what displays are you using (or would recommend)? Ah, and price is an issue. Apologies in advance to those who think this is not appropriate use of the Forum.

    Monitor calibration is the first port of call. Sometimes changing one item in a system is enough to show up a colour management issue. You suggest that the monitor is the last item in your upgrade cycle, what all have you changed? Computer, printer? There may also be a setting you have failed to set when you installed the new software, eg. have you remembered to set relative colorimetric with the black point compensation box ticked, disable colour management in your printer driver and put an appropriate colour profile for your monitor onto the new computer? You also need the correct profile for your printer/paper combination set up in Photoshop.
    If you haven't calibrated your monitor, that on its own will give you poor prints, but all the other bits are needed also.

  • Add colors to the value area in a XY chart

    Hi,
    I want to present values in an XY Chart with Xcelsius Std 4.5. The chart is divided in 4 equal zones, so the values fall in one zone (red: critical, green: good, etc)
    Does somebody know how can I add different colors to the area of the chart?
    When I add colored rectangle with transparency: if it's in the "back" I dont see it, if it is in the "front" I see the symbols of the values quite bad because they are behind the transparency...
    Any idea out there?
    Thanks in advance

    You are on the right track with the use of colored rectangles. You will need to open the XY Chart, open the Appearance tab, and uncheck the Show Background box in the Chart Area and uncheck the Show Fill box in the Plot Area. This will enable the colored rectangle(s) to be seen through the XY Chart. You may need to adjust other settings or add elements to achieve the desired aesthetic.

  • IMovie '11 Exports are distorted with dark colors.

    Hello everyone, I have a bit of a problem with iMovie 11 exports. I usually capture video games with an HD PVR (.mp4 files)
    Once I import those videos - without converting them to .mov or any DV formats, I edit, export, and save the video to my desktop. However, once I watch the videos- no matter what format I save it in- the video comes out a little disorted, or blurry, and you can specifically see the problem with the dark colors and any darkened spaces in the videos. Anyone with the same problems/solutions?

    The blurry video is likely caused by the de-interlacing of the video.  iMovie doesn't handle interlaced video properly where Final Cut Pro does. 
    The dark color are likely caused because you are comparing a video from your television on your computer screen.  Video on the computer screen always looks much darker than your television.  They are different color spaces, TV (yCbCr) and Computer RGB.
