Negative phots when colours are inverted

Hi,
Trying to help a friend who is visually impaired. She sets her MacBook Pro to use inverted colors. Wondering if anyone has figured out a way to switch the photos in iPhoto back to normal while still in inverted mode? I can't see a way to do that.
What about 3rd party s/w or a web service like Flickr? She is an artist who paints from her photos. Any help and/or suggestions very much appreciated.
Regards,
Brian

In PS and AI in CS2, when I open a picture folder, the thumbnail images are inverted

I recently D/L installed CS 2 on my Windows 7 desktop. Thanks Adobe, it's great for me.
However, when I open a folder in PS or AI to select an image, the thumbnails in the folder are inverted.
Strangely, this doesn't happen on my Windows 7 laptop.
Can anyone suggest a fix? It's annoying when I have many images to search thru.
Thanks, Dan

Does the file actually open in Adobe Reader or is it opening in something else (I would tend to guess the latter)?

Bridge CS3 shows different colour on previews when they are selected

LS,
Problem, all of a sudden: Bridge CS3 shows different colours on previews when they are clicked and selected. At first, they are ok, they look the same as they are on camera. When I click an image and select it, it looks like there's a colour profile being applied to it, making the colours dull, its also pulls back the contrast of the image. Can this be corrected in prefences or something? So that the previews are the same as non corrected raw processed files?
David

Oh, good grief… Sorry. I forgot you haven't updated yet. My bad.
In CS3 you'll find the Auto Tone adjustments in the Camera Raw preferences, and the use of high quality in Bridge preferences. You won't have all the options available in CS4.
If you are shooting raw, the upgrade to CS4 just to be able to use ACR 5.3 (and now 5.4) is a no-brainer. Well worth the money.
If you don't upgrade, you'll be leaving a lot of raw image quality on the table, as Jeff Schewe says. ACR 4.6 is light years behind 5.3 and 5.4.
In addition, Bridge 2.x (CS3) is easily the worst piece of software ever released by Adobe or any other major software developer. It should have been fixed for free by Adobe, but shamefully, it wasn't. I would not hesitate to call it an unusable, worthless piece of cr@p. Fortunately Bridge 3.x (CS4) is much better.
However, I repeat: What you are seeing is perfectly normal, expected behavior.

CS6 Illustrator and InDesign colours are changed when the PDF is saved.

CS6 Illustrator and InDesign colours are changing when the saved PDFs are displayed on some different computers and for digital print output. I have ensured that the colours are all CMYK and tried different adjustments like preserving the numbers and the like but nothing is working. It prints properly on my inkjet and has displayed properly on different computers.

You need to read up on color management, color profiles and all that....

Red artifact blob shows up in the middle of my screen when there are dark colours showing

Does anyone know what this is? Or why it is happening? There is a red blob-ish artifact that is on the middle of my screen and you can notice it when there are dark colours on the screen. It's really annoying when I'm trying to watch movies or play games that have dark scenes. (The picture quality isn't that great, but you can kinda see the red blob I'm talking about.)
Any thoughts?

I'm having the same problem. Only noticed it after installing OS X Lion.

The some words in perfectly formatted messages I email are merging or joining together likethis or evenlikethis when they are recieved. How do I fix this?

When I send emails that are perfectly formatted they are being somewhat truncated when they are received by whomever I'm sending them to. Words will be joined together throughout the email in combinations of two or three.
I know this is happening because when someone responds to my email, I see the email that I have sent them (in their response email) and it is messed up as described above. I recently asked one of my recipients if this was something that was common with my emails and I was told yes.
Here is an example, cut and pasted from an email sent via Thunderbird: "A number of years ago we were speaking with Stephanie MacDonaldat CIT about our film/video production services. Our Account Exec assigned to your account left a number of months later and we subsequently lost contact.
I just visited your web site and noticed thatyou are using video to help define your services and corporate culture. We'd love to be considered if you are planning any more productions.
One genre of web video thatyou may be interested in is 'Recruiting'.
Companies that wish to attract young, bright talent, arereaching out with fun and engaging videos distributed online and through social marketing. I noticed that you have a Careers page, but no video. Is this something that you could be interestedinat some point?
We recently produced one of these videos for an IT company located in Torontoand I'd be delighted to send you alink if you like..."
The version of Thunderbird I am using is 17.0 and I am running the program on a MacBook Pro with OS X 10.7.5 installed.
Fixing this issue is critical as my emails look very unprofessional and leave a negative impression with my contacts. Please tell me what I can do to fix this.
Best regards,
Derek Shipman

are you pasting text from another source into Thunderbird?
Does it appear correctly in your send folder?

I have to save as CMYK for print, but the colours are out of whack..

hey all,
I am designing something for a CD cover that is going to be printed at a print shop, They say they want their images in CMYK and prefer it in a PDF or highest quality JPEG....
So I have been working in CMYK, everything looks fine in photoshop, but when I save out to a JPG the whole thing gets dark and colours get horribly over saturated.
here you can see the image on the left is what happens when I save out directly from my CMYK file in photoshop. there is a big loss in detail in the darker areas and colours are over saturated. the image on the right is what I get if I convert to mode>RGB and then save the JPG. .. . .this is what I want it to look like....
my problem is the print shop requests the image in CMYK, but I want them to print like it looks in the RGB version
any help would be greatfully appreciated! Thankyou!
also here are the actual .jpegs as saved from photoshop
the CMYK version:
and the RGB version:
edit: I don't know too much about colour profiles, and the print shop hasn't provided one on their site, so I picked the default one - Working CMYK, U.S WebCoated (SWOP v2)
edit: these are the file formats the printers say they take on their site:
PDF - 300 dpi - (preferred), Tiff, Highest resolution JPG, EPS
I don't really have any experience with the other formats but I presume I would get the same colour results

Thanks all for the replies.
Just to be clear the file is already in CMYK (U.S web coated SWOPv2), I understand now its probably smarter to work in RGB and then convert at the end but hadn't done so in this case.
If I change image mode to RGB (or vice versa) i notice a tiny shift in the colours on my monitor but nothing as dramatic as what im seeing in those CMYK Jpeg/TIFF's.
John Danek -
there are probably more than 20 layers in there, my colour settings should all be default because ive never even looked in there before, but here is a screenshot of the dialogue box
and the bit depth is 8-bits per channel
If I save it out as a CMYK .pdf then it looks fine, presumably because im opening it in Adobe acrobat reader so it can see the embedded profile. So I think this is the problem after all, thanks Chris Cox and gator soup for clearing that up!
I have emailed the printers and asked if they can read my embedded profiles correctly with their software (presumably they can) and asked for them to recommend an ICC colour profile but have yet to hear back from them.

Acrobat 9 Pro, colours are messed up in a PDF

When opening up some PDF's the colours are all wrong. This only seems to happen with certain ones though. HOWEVER, if I open the exact same PDF in Acrobat Reader it displays correctly.
See images below:
Incorrect: http://mark.christopher.casey.googlepages.com/weird.png
Correct: http://mark.christopher.casey.googlepages.com/corrected.png
To get the correct colours for all the objects I selected everything (Ctrl+A) then went to the menu: Tools, Advanced Editing, Touchup object tool. Selected the "color" tab and converted it to Adobe RGB (although any colour space corrects this issue, same with rendering intent)
However, here's where it gets interesting. If I tick the "embed profile" tick box all of a sudden the colours are suddenly all over the place again as shown in the incorrect image.
Acrobat 9 Professional was used and the operating system was Windows Vista Business x64.

i have read at least 4 articles and watch 3 videos that do almost the same process i have explained. the only difference is that they used Word to create their PDF doc. they had no issues.
so i am wondering if there is something wrong with the Excel PDF process. i have tried this one 2 different MacBooks with same result.
what does the cell have to have in order for Acrobat to detect it as a form field?
I have a spreadsheet that has over 300 fields that should have been detected. so yes, i could create them manually, but i am hoping to get this Acrobat to detect them.
I tried the process you did "File=>Create Form". i got same message.
i built a separate little test process to describe the issue. see image that is attached.
it is very simple, yet no fields were detected.

New computer system, printed colours are wrong, please advise.

I recently bought a new computer system inc Dell U2711 monitor and purchased LR4 and CS6. All was well, or so I thought, until I got some prints done. The prints from my old system (with which I only used elements 10) look fine. Those from my new system look awful, the colours are just wrong. My workflow is RAW image opened in LR then finished off in CS6 before saving as JPEG. The saved images look alright but when I either click view/ proof colors or if I use an image as a desktop screensaver, it gives the same washed out appearance with wrong colours. I'm at the limit of my technical knowledge here, does anyone have any ideas please?

Thanks for that link, I will read that. I've been going through the settings on LR and CS and I think I begin to understand. I've been looking in LR preferences and that gives three options for color space: There is Prophoto RGB (the default which LR recommends as it says the other two don't give the full colour range available in LR) then there is sRGB and lastly Adobe RGB (1998). There is no such option that I can find in CS6 preferences but, when I export a TIFF file from LR4 into CS6 and then save it from CS6 it shows the color as ICC profile Adobe RGB (1998). I also notice that in this setting using the view/ proof in CS6 the colours are slightly askew (they were way off when I had the LR preference set to ProphotoRGB). If however I set the LR preference to sRGB and then export to CS6, using the view/proof the colours stay the same so I'm still a bit confused. Maybe I'm just thick, it's a lot to take in.
I've processed a RAW image in the recommended ProphotoRGB, exported it to CS6 then before saving gone into edit/ convert to profile/ sRGB: the colours have stayed the same and using the view/ proof or save as desktop background = no change and everything looks good. So, is this the way forward and should that format work when printed? (I've only got a crappy basic two ink printer which I wouldn't trust to print anything other than text). Also, is it possible to get CS6 to save as sRGB by default or do I have to go through this routine for every image I want to save and print?

Pre "Rendering Preview" colours are better - why does LR make it worse?

Hi guys
When I upload a photo for the first time and then view its larger preview for the first time. When lightroom is generating its preview, it takes a second to generate it. When it generates the preview, the colours that it generates arn't as good as the first image of the photo you see. The photo changes colour after its generating the larger preview... and the generated colours are not as good.
Why does this occur. In all cases the colour of the photo prior to the preview being rendered are better than the colours once it has finished generating.
Cheers
Anthony

Ok cool that makes sense... If I didn't take the photo in landscape mode or anything like that, do I just shift it back to "Camera Faithful"...
Yes and No. The profile is not chosen based on what you were shooting with (this only affects your JPGs), but based on the default, which is Adobe Standard (see also below). But switching it gives you another point to start your editing on.
Also I have a fair few photos that I would like to change back from "Adobe Standard" to "Camera Faithful" is there any way to do this on mass?
1) To change multiple photos to a specific profile:
In Develop:
Set one photo to the desired profile
Select all additional images to have the same profile in the film strip (Shift+Click or Ctrl+Click)
Press Sync...
Deselect all settings but Calibration
Hit Synchronize
2) To make a certain profile default for all imports for a specific camera type:
Set one photo to the desired profile (do not alter any other parameters, as they will be set as default also)
Press Alt and click on Set Default ...
Hit Update to Current Settings
Note: The Defaults set this way are valid for imports for a specific Camera Model, limited to a Camera Serial-No. and/or ISO Setting, depending on your settings in Preferences/Presets.
Lastly, are the colour profiles better in LR 3...
Somebody else will have to answer for this question, I think they are basically the same, but the underlying algorithm has been vastly improved. Btw, "better" is a generally a bad word when refering to camera profiles. You'll find lots of posts here regarding this subject, e.g. here.
