Nikon D700 color issue

Hellow,
I am shooting with a Nikon D700, and my problem with aperture 3 is that when I upload the pictures Aperture will oversaturate or over boost the colors (specialy green). I've already set the Hue boost to 0 but that doesn't work. I am shooting in RAW (NEF), can someone help me? I am realy frustrated about it
I think it would be a problem with Camera RAW from aperture...

This is just too good to miss so i must put my pennyworth in and stir with wooden spoon.
A raw file is not an international standard as are jpeg's. A Standard is needed.
Camera sensors do not record colour. May be a bit of a surprise to some folkes!
Colour is totally subjective. Just like spelling. Therefore the definition better is with the person or people who think it is, for whatever reasons they think it, especially when it comes to photography. Some people say jpegs are best and i am sure they are for them, i say raw is better, do you disagree?
White Balance can not be set by numbers, between differing raw formats when all the companies involved are trying to discredit and rubbish the opposition and cannot even agree a standard format for their own products. How can we expect competitors to share information and why should they? They probably think they share too much already. Even if they did there would be widespread disagreement about what is better. Where can i get a white balance meter so i get it correct? Oh i'm forgetful, my camera has one built in but now i know it's not accurate what am i to do. It has not been an issue in the past so maybe something is going my way for a change.
Red has always been a difficult colour to reproduce and ever since colour photography was invented, it even gave problems in Orthochromatic photography. Blue in Panchromatic so no surprise when we want full colour.
How many people use a dark room these days? You really should. The ambient light will have a greater effect on your WB setting than you may imagine, maybe even more than the difference in the numbers talked about here. My screen at the moment looks white, as i put the tungsten light up the screen turns blue and then yellow as i ramp it down and if i leave it on or off it soon looks white again. By the way what colour or colours are the walls of your room.
Go in to the Shooting Menu of the D700 then White Balance, press right toggle twice and toggle again to change the WB. Toggle up or down to change the colour without affecting the White Balance.
If this does not resolve the issue go back to good old B&W that will and a good one knocks the spots off colour.
By the way you can have any colour of white except black and neither are colours and there is no difference between the two without the odd photon.
An old screen may be passed its useful life. There may be some gain in checking the screen profile it may need calibrating. You can do this several times and save each one, and if you are getting it correct there should be no difference between each one. This will not solve anything but you then know you are seeing the colours of the screen as intended, as these change over time. Allan

  • ACR 5.2 camera profiles and Nikon D700 color artifacts

    Using LR 2.2 or Photoshop CS4, conversions of D700 NEFs often result in peculiar color 'artifacts' (posterization?) in certain images, when using the new camera specific profiles like Camera Standard (or particularly Camera Landscape). Typically, the Adobe Standard or ACR 5.2 profile don't exhibit this behavior, at least not with significant changes to saturation and contrast.
    An example of this can be seen at http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3400/3179948383_cfda478eb8.jpg (LR 2.2, Camera Standard profile). Question is whether these sorts of results are expected? I'm otherwise quite happy with the new profiles. Thanks,
    Mike

    Mike,
    1. You may be happy if the problem goes away with the lossless compression, but it would be a nice service to the D3/D700 owners' community to
    b prove
    this. There are many photogs convinced, that the lossy compression does not cause visible loss (Nikon created a myth about this issue already with the D70).
    If you can create pairs of shots demonstrating the effect and would not mind my using your images, I would spread this on other forums as well, as I did with the D300.
    2. Re WB:
    i normally
    you can accept the WB interpretations of different raw processors, but not if the issue is just the WB. The fact, that the displayed color temperatures are close, does not mean much: the color temperature is not absolute. I don't go so far as to say, that it
    i should
    be different between CNX and ACR, but you can not rely on the number.
    Even the snow is clearly reddish in the ACR created JPEG. You may complain about ACR's WB conversion, but that is a separate issue. In order to compare the colors, first the greys have to be made grey in both conversions.

  • Nikon D700 Over exposure issue

    After shooting some outdoor shots last week, I found most all of the shots as about 1/3 to a full stop over exposed on my Nikon D700.  I did some research and everyone seems to point to the camera.  As a fairly recent LR convert, I went back to Nikon Capture NX2 to see if I found the same over exposure, and DID NOT.  I hate to jump to conclusions, but it seems like LR is having problems compared to Capture.
    I am interested if anyone else has done the same test and found the same results.  I LOVE LR and used it a lot recently for concert performance work as well as portrait work, but these bright sunlight shots just seemed too much for LR. 
    Thanks! 

    I suspect your problem is due to tone curve mismatches. Let's say you are shooting some people shots and in-camera you are using the Portrait picture control.
    1) When you review your photo in the LCD and look at the histogram, the JPG (yes, even if you shot RAW) displayed there uses the tone curve (and other settings, like sharpening, hue, saturation, etc.) in that Picture Control. Add White Balance (WB) into that mix.
    2) Similarly, when you review your RAW file in either ViewNX2 or Capture NX2, the software reads the raw data *and* the Picture Control and WB information to render the image and corresponding histogram you see in the application.
    Now, if you move over to Lightroom, the Adobe default camera profile will likely (most assuredly, actually) use a different tone curve and color profile. The result? A different histogram that will show either over or under-exposure when compared to what you saw in-camera or in the NX2 software, depending on the particular mismatch.
    The solution? Either use one of the provided Nikon-like profiles (for instance, my LR 3.4 has Portrait), or create your own to match the Nikon's built-in (or even if you had it, your custom) Picture Control. Keep an eye on White Balance, too, as the incorrect WB can push or pull your histogram. For instance, an overly warm WB can clip your reds, when a corrected WB wouldn't.
    After years using ViewNX2, exclusively (plus PSP X2 for final editing), I've just (this weekend!) switched to a LR3-CS5 workflow. Part of what kept me away from Adobe products for so long was the reluctance to give up Nikon software's "full insight" into the in-camera settings. In the end, I decided that this histogram I see in my camera is ficticious, anyway, a by-product of one possible interpretation of the RAW data. Perhaps Nikon is better qualified to interpret that RAW data, but based on the quality and robustness of their software, who knows?
    Anyway, long story short: match your tone curve and WB, and you should get similar results. My early experimentation with D700 and D7000 photos this weekend, when I did a couple of quick cross-checks of what ViewNX2 gave me vs. LR3 with the Portrait control/profile indicates my results are reasonably close. As with all things, YMMV.

  • Nikon D700 White balance importing issues

    Hi Guys,
    I am using a nikon d700 with Lightroom 3.2 If I shoot tethered, the correct white balance appears and gets loaded in Lightroom, but if I import them after the shoot, from the card, it loads a completely different white balance value and I have to go back and correct them one by one. I am not using any profile, just leave it on the standard Adobe version because the Nikon profiles are significantly reducing the quality on raw file. Does someone have an idea what I am doing wrong to be able to load the correct white balance during importing?
    Thanks

    Are you shooting RAW? If so there is no WB embedded in a RAW file, you set the WB in LR. Setting "As Shot" and a calibration profile that matches the camera setting (if one exists) will usually closest to the wb embedded in a jpg produced by the camera processing.
    You may want to check out the FAQ, this one is pertinent.

  • Lightroom/CS3 color issues on Mac

    Hello,
    I've seen a few posts about color issues, and I've tried following the advice posted, and I'm still having a problem. My photos appear fine in PS and in Lightroom (as well in in Mac's previewer) but when I upload them to the web or view the saved file on another computer, they appear severely desaturated with a blue tone.
    I'm using running Mac OX X on a new MacBook Pro. I have Lightroom and CS3 installed and fully patched.
    I am shooting in RAW with my Nikon, and importing the photos to Lightroom. In Lightroom, I choose "edit in CS3" and then the file opens in CS3. My settings for that are to open it as a 16 bit PDF ProPhoto RGB. My color settings in CS3 are set to ProPhoto RGB working space, preserve embedded profiles, ask when opening and pasting.
    The files still look great when I open them in PS, and then I save them and when I look at them again in Lightroom they also look good (the same). However, if I export them as .jpgs from Lightroom, or save them directly from CS3, they lose their color quality.
    I've found that if I change my proof setup to "monitor RGB" then I can see the photos the same way they appear when saved (the bad, desaturated version).
    I would really appreciate any help anyone could provide. I am generally happy with my Lightroom/CS3 workflow, but I'm totally baffled with this color issue.
    Emily

    Well, I think what you need to do is get a better grasp on the fundimentals of color management-which is a bit beyond the scope of what the forums can offer you.
    The bottom line is that Lightroom & Photoshop CSx (meaning past CS or actually even back to 7) can and does make use of display profiles (you can't turn it off even if Photoshop has a setting that makes you think you can). An image in Lightroom and Photoshop is always color managed...outside of an app that is color management, all bets are off.
    Save, assigning and converting to profiles are all very different. Photoshop CS3's color settings are absolutely critical because that's how you deal with managed and unmanaged color.
    Until you learn different, I would suggest that you set your CS3 color settings to North American PrePress 2....if you want images for the web, Convert To sRGB or use the new Save For Web (which can now do the sRGB conversion-finally).
    For other uses and purposes, I would suggest that you seriously consider using Adobe RGB-until such time that you understand the implications of using Pro Photo RGB.

  • Raw Images (Nikon D700 NEFs) suddenly turn unsupported

    Hi there,
    for some of my managed Nikon D700 NEFs I start geeting an 'unsupported image format' error. I worked with those files a couple of months ago and everything was fine, no errors. So, the problem must have came up recently. The files wont show up in Preview neither but open fine in Capture NX2 which brings me to the assumption, that it is an OS X raw compatability issue.
    I browsed through the related discussions but couldn't find a way that resolved the problem. What puzzles me is the fact, that obviously only few people are experiencing similar issues. I'm afraid, that something might be "broken" in my system installation. To double check this I would like to provide one of my unrecognized NEF files:
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/1sx5bsr794xvbmj/_DSC7035.NEF
    If this file works for you, it's not an Aperture issue, but a single problem on my (few) machine(s). The answer to this would be of great help in finding the right fix. Any feedback is highly appreciated! Thanks!

    Thanks Leonie, Thanks Jerry.
    Leonie,
    I flipped through my library. It seems that the problem started first with pics, I imported March 2011. Prior imports look fine. (Interestingly it started right after an air trip. But if the security scans somehow damaged my cards and subsequently the pics, why would you be able to open them...? )
    I can't find anything which could be special about the relevant files: In fact I sometimes shot a series of pics of the same subject in a row. Some work, some are unsupported. The filenames I didn't change (standard out of camera format "_DSC####.NEF", file system is Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) btw.).
    I tried all of the 3 troubleshooting steps of Aperture several times. I tried repairing permissions for the whole drive. I also tried importing directly from camera besides using a card reader, both, into existing and new libraries. Importing pics from iPhone and an old Lumix is ok (but these are not raw...).
    I will try a different user account and report back.
    Many thanks again to all for your help.

  • Nikon Images, Noise issues in Photoshop only

    I use Nikon cameras and shoot raw files processing them in ACR and then bringing them into Photoshop. I notice that after the images are processed and saved as jpegs. when I look at the final image in a Microsoft film strip browser, the noise which shows in Photoshop disappears in that viewer. In Photoshop I am viewing everything at 100% I cannot figure out how that happens and what is the true quality of the image. I am just wondering where I can see the true final quality of the image. I would rather not use any noise reduction on the images. I do not like the quality of the image after using that tool.
    I also shoot with Canon equipment and I never have and noise issue. I am aware that Nikon has noise issues at higher iso's and when the image is underexposed but I am taking that into consideration when processing, I also process in light room and Nikon capture but in those products I know that they have some different algorythums to correct the noise.
    Thanks for any comments or suggestions on this issue.

    Photoshop is color managed and is using your monitor profile in an attempt at accurately portraying your image. Most image viewers are not color managed.

  • Updating CS4 Camera Raw to show Nikon D700 in camera photo controls & ADR

    I am trying to get Nikon D700 images using their picture controls and ADR to show in Camera Raw.  I understand later updates do this.  Now I just get the flat Raw data when I open the NEF file --- NEF showing on Bridge shows the picture control colors; NEF in Raw does not.
    But download fails repeatedly for the CS4 update 5.7    Message is  "Camera Raw  5.7 updater.dmg  could not be saved because an unknown error occured."   The desktop shows two fines, one the .dmg shown as a disk, the other a blank file named OOELvLnz.pdf.part.  Trying the download again yet another blank file came onto desktop called OkSFJR48.pdf.part   And so on always a different blank file name and same error message on the download. 
    So first, is 5.7 the correct update?  What else do I have to do to see ADR and incamera photo controls in Camera Raw?  And what other options to download an update?  Thanks for the advice. 

    you are kind to suggest this but why is there no one at Adobe to just answer my questions?  This is not something for some amateur to give me advice on -- I want the programmers and inventors of the actual program and updates to tell me so I get the right answer in one place.  I have now had four emails from someone at Adobe and none of them even apologize for not answering. 
    PLease just answer my      questions.  Thank you

  • Purple and green blotches with Nikon D700 raws

  • Nikon D700, beta vs. final profiles

    I have just installed Camera Raw 5.2 plus final release of color profiles.
    For my Nikon D700, I noticed that the beta versions of the camera profiles are closer to the Nikon rendition.
    - Final profiles are slightly more bluish;
    - Final profiles show some highlight clipping, that's not there in beta versions and Nikon's rendition.

    Hi Eric,
    Don't know your Adobe email address. I have sent a link to download the NEF to the email address on your personal home page.

  • Can't import RAW files into iPhoto 6 Library from Nikon D700

    For whatever reason I am unable to import RAW files from my Nikon D700 into my iPhoto 6 (version 6.0.6) Library. I can import JPEGs from the D700, but it's no-go with the RAW files. When I attempt to import the RAW files I get the following message:
    "Unreadable Files
    The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data)."
    Can anybody solve this mystery for me?

    I presume that the economically-priced Mac Box Set containing OS X 10.5.6 Leopard, iLife '09, and iWork '09 would be the way to go. Do you concur?
    Well that's the cheapest way to do it. You could, of course, buy a new Mac
    Do you feel that my 20" Intel iMac--details listed below--would have any problems handling the upgraded programs?
    It will have no problems with the updated OS or applications.
    'm uneasy at the thought of upgrading my operating system, but I presume that chances of running into problems are much less than if I were upgrading a Windows OS. In case a problem arises my entire hard drive is backed up with a 1T external hard drive using SuperDuper software, but I prefer not to encounter a situation requiring me to use it for restoration purposes.
    The key to any update or upgrade is to make sure that you have a good working back up. That way, should anything go wrong, you have a quick way back to where you started.
    My tips for upgrading the OS? Disconnect the disk with the back up and all other peripherals when you do the Upgrade. Pop the disk in. Do a standard Upgrade. (There are some folks who swear that you should wipe your HD and start over from scratch before you do, but, frankly, that's overkill. I've been upgrading Macs since 1992 and never had a problem.

  • Camera Raw 8.7.1 color issues

    After the recent camera raw update to 8.7.1 I have noticed some pretty bad color shifts between camera raw and photoshop cs6. The colors in camera raw look very saturated and then when moving into photoshop the saturation shift is pretty dramatic. I never had these issues before the update. I have attached a screenshot illustrating the color issue. I am working on a very good monitor ( NEC PA 242W ) and it is color calibrated using NEC Spectraview calibration system. I have double checked my color setting in photoshop and camera raw to make sure I was viewing the same color space. I am just wondering if this is maybe a bug in the update and others are experiencing the same issues or if I am just missing something.
    I would also add that I am using the Creative Suite CS6 and not CC. If that makes a difference.

    Thanks ssprengel for the suggestions and running a side by side yourself. I went through all my settings and applied your suggestions and did a side by side each time. I even uninstalled the entire creative suite on my system then reinstalled and updated and I still get the same outcome. It was fine yesterday with the previous version of ACR. It seems like the updated version is not showing the image preview in any color space. When I switch the color space in the workflow options the histogram changes but it doesn't seem to affect the preview window. And yes the preview button was checked on it was just when I was using the screen grab tool in windows it took focus away from the application so that is why the settings appear grayed out. I have attached more screen grabs below illustrating all my settings. Also here is some system info if anyone out there has a similar setup and would be willing to test.

  • Photoshop CC Color Issues

    When I updated my Photoshop program two updates ago I began having color issues in Photoshop as the rest of the Adobe Suite.  Regardless of whether the color mode is RGB or CMYK the colors appear washed out on the program.  This image http://i.imgur.com/BWVwbx2.jpg  is an example. The image on the right is a screen shot of the original image of the shoes copied from the website, the image on the left is the same image copied into photoshop. When I try to save the RGB file as a jpeg or a PDF it looks the same as it did in the program, washed out.  However,  when the file is CMYK color mode and I try to save it as a jpeg or PDF it looks like this http://i.imgur.com/TAUyeOf.jpg. Both my coworker and I started having this issue on our seperate computers around the same time so I don't believe that it is a graphics card issue or something along those lines. How can I fix this?  I have tried calling Adobe support, but unfortunately the person on the phone was not very experienced in the program and unable to help.
    Some Info about my computer:
    Currently I have Photoshop CC with the 14.2.1 update.  I have Windows 7 Professional SP1, 64-bit OS,  8 GB of RAM (7.87 GB Usable) and 360 GB free space on the (C:) drive.

    Illustrator and Windows Photo Viewer agree. They should, because they're both fully color managed. I assume Photoshop shows the same.
    Picasa is not color managed. All bets are off there, it can display like anything under the sun, depending on what color space the file was created in, and how your monitor displays color.
    There is a basic checklist for color management issues:
    1 - is the application color managed at all?
    2 - is there an embedded document profile, and what is it?
    3 - what is the monitor profile?
    We've established #1. For #2, see in the lower left corner of the Photoshop image window. Click the little arrow and check "document profile". What does it say?
    #3 is often the critical one. This is where your calibrated monitor profile should be - but if you don't do that, it's often a manufacturer supplied profile. These are often worse than worthless. The best option here is to use sRGB if you have a standard gamut monitor (like the U2412) - or Adobe RGB if you have a wide gamut monitor (like your co-worker's U3011). Yes, there is a significant difference between these two.
    Anyway:
    Go to Control Panel > Color Management > Devices. Set sRGB IEC61966-2.1 as your default monitor profile there and relaunch Photoshop:
    With this setting, Photoshop, Illustrator and Windows Photo Viewer will display  (more or less) correctly. It could still be that the file had the wrong document profile, or none at all, but the file will display correctly as it is.
