Obvious diff color b/w CS5 and LR3

i have a puzzling problem with CS5 and LR3
I use LR3.6 and CS5 on an imac running 10.7.2.
I discovered an old "hand tinted" b&w photo from the early 1950's. I thought that i might improve it in CS5. I began the process but had to stop before finishing. I deceided to save it in LR3 as a .psd and as a jpg, to leave more flexibility when i got back to editing later. I noticed a problem:
Tho not finished editing, i noted a remarkable difference in the tone of the photos as shown.
I thought that the problem was related to the original being a b&w photo but have discounted this. Monitor is calibrated. both are in prophoto rgb. any ideas.
THIS IMAGE IS AFTER IMPORT TO LR3.LR3. NO preset was applied
THE IMAGE BELOW IS BEFORE IT WAS IMPORTED TO LR3
any help, suggestions??? thanks, vince

Thanks for your reply. I am sorry i was not clear.
The original image was an old LR1 import from back when...
I noticed the old image recently and sent it from LR3.6 to CS5 where i began editing. I was interrupted and, in a hurry, i SAVED the image, with my editing, to LR3.6. The image retrieved from LR3.6 is the image at the top of the post
As i mentioned , the original photo was a poor scan of a poor hand-tinting job of a b&w photo. It had been stored in LR across LR revisions and i assume it is in "melissargb". In CS5 prophoto rgb is my default space.
The pinkish image HAS NOT BEEN IMPORTED IN TO LIGHTROOM AT ALL.WHEN I STOPPED EDITING IN CS5, I SAVED IT INTO LR3.6 and got the top image in my post. I did, however, also save the image to the desktop directly from CS5 and that is why i still have the the pinkish image unchanged by LR3.6
I realize my description has been clumsy and confusing. Perhaps i have explained it better
thank you again. it seemed so clear at my original post.

Magenta Printing Issues in CS5 and LR3

Hi,
   I have seen this issue mentioned in various forms over the last year or so but I have yet to see a real solution to the problem I am now experiencing.
History:
   I was running a Vista 64b OS and using LR 2.X and Epson's r2880 printer. I was able to print using LR 2.X without any issues both in B&W and color using the various papers, using iccs provided by various vendors (Moab for example) I never had the Magenta printing issues.
Fast Forward:
   I recently installed LR3 and CS5 under the same OS (Vista 64b) and when I print in color it is obviously Magenta heavy.   I am following the same practices as before of having LR3 manage the color (using one of the vendor iccs) and setting "No Color Managment" in the printer driver UI. Doing this gives me terrible crazy Magenta prints. I have un-installed and re-installed the Epson Printer driver numerous times with no positive effect. The causal effect was installing CS5 and LR3. These were the only changes made.
I also did try and print in CS5 with the same Magenta results. I posted in this thread along with the LR board also as I feel the LR3 and CS5 issue is related to some common theme.
I was wondering if anyone had a similar problem and had found a solution other than switching over to a Mac.
This is very frustrating and depressing.
Thanks,
David.

Thanks for the great Feed back. I was able to fix the printing problem by doing several things:
1) Re-install the printer drivers
2) Runnning the printer through nozzle checks and cleaning cycles. Had to peform the cleaning cycle 3 times.
3) Replacing the yellow ink cartridge. The ink level was showing about 15% remaining but in fact I was out of yellow ink. I had read that the ink levels were not always accurate.
So for me this issue has been solved. Thanks for the help.

Can I purchase CS5 and LR3 Student Teacher Editions together?

Hello,
I don't know if I can purchase both CS5 and LR3 Student Teacher Editions together. The restrictions with Student Teacher editions say you can only purchase one license of any Adobe STE product within a twelve month period. Does this mean I could purchase CS5 now and in a year buy LR3 or it's newest version?
Thanks

Yes, you can buy both now, or whenever you want.
Per Adobe's Student Edition FAQ, "Each eligible person may purchase only one copy per Adobe Student and Teacher Edition title ..."
However, those two products are different titles - so you could get a copy of each. There's an example of how it works given in the FAQ.
It's a good thing actually because you probably will never have an opportunity to get a better offer on Adobe products than when you're a student.

As far as I know Photoshop can not open Zip files. If you unzip the zip archive and it contained PSD files. How do you know they were all saved on a XP system with Photoshop CS5 with max compatibility. The message you getting seem to be contradicting that.

Color issues w/ .png and .gif files in CS5.5 Live view

Hi All,
I am having a bunch of trouble with my .png and .gif image files in Dreamweaver CS5.5. In Dreamweaver's design view everything looks fine but when I preview my pages in Live View or in a browser the colors in my .png and .gif files are way off. All my images are designed in RGB.
Any info anyone has to offer will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

GIFS contain a maximum of 216 colors (web safe palette)
PNG and JPG can contain 16 million colors (true color palette),
When you say the colors are "way off" we don't know what you mean.
Can you post a link to your web page?

Color management help needed for adobe CS5 and Epson printer 1400-Prints coming out too dark with re

Color management help needed for adobe CS5 and Epson printer 1400-Prints coming out too dark with reddish cast and loss of detail
System: Windows 7
Adobe CS5
Printer: Epson Stylus Photo 1400
Paper: Inkjet matte presentation paper with slight luster
Installed latest patch for Adobe CS5
Epson driver up to date
After reading solutions online and trying them for my settings for 2 days I am still unable to print what I am seeing on my screen in Adobe CS5. I calibrated my monitor, but am not sure once calibration is saved if I somehow use this setting in Photoshop’s color management.
The files I am printing are photographs of dogs with lots of detail I digitally painted with my Wacom tablet in Photoshop CS5 and then printed with Epson Stylus 1400 on inkjet paper 20lb with slight luster.
My Printed images lose a lot of the detail & come out way to dark with a reddish cast and loss of detail when I used these settings in the printing window:
Color Handling: Photoshop manages color, Color management -ICM, OFF no color adjustment.
When I change to these settings in printer window: Color Handling: Printer manages color. Color management- Color Controls, 1.8 Gamma and choose Epson Standard it prints lighter, but with reddish cast and very little detail and this is the best setting I have used so far.
Based on what I have read on line, I think the issue is mainly to do with what controls are set in the Photoshop Color Settings window and the Epson Printer preferences. I have screen images attached of these windows and would appreciate knowing what you recommend I enter for each choice.
Also I am confused as to what ICM color management system to use with this printer and CS5:
What is the best ICM to use with PS CS5 & the Epson 1400 printer? Should I use the same ICM for both?
Do I embed the ICM I choose into the new files I create?
Do I view all files in the CS5 workspace in this default ICM?
Do I set my monitor setting to the same ICM?
If new file opens in CS5 workspace and it has a different embedded profile than my workspace, do I convert it?
Do I set my printer, Monitor and PS CS5 color settings to the same ICM?
Is using the same ICM for all devices what is called a consistent workflow?
I appreciate any and all advice that can be sent my way on this complicated issue. Thank you in advance for your time and kind help.

It may be possible to figure out by watching a Dr.Brown video on the subject of color printing. Adobe tv
I hope this may help...............

Edit in Photoshop CS5 greyed out in LR4 and LR3

Since one of the many upgrade to LR3 I have not been able to edit in photoshop, it is greyed out. I thought the upgrade to LR$ would deal with this but it has not. I have tried the upgrade to beta 6.7 but this does not help. Would removing CS5 and reinstalling help? Very frustrating.

JPG and TIFF colors in Bridge CS5 way off, but fine in Photoshop

Just started happening, but not sure if it was after updating to Bridge 4.0.3 or Camera RAW 6.2. The colors for RAW and PSD files are fine in Bridge, but all JPGs and TIFFs colors are blown out and way off. Opening the JPG or TIFF in Photoshop looks fine though. Anyone else having this issue, or know how to fix it?
Update: If I set the "Develop Settings" in Bridge CS5 to "Camera Raw Defaults" for the JPGs/TIFFs that are displaying improperly, the colors and tones go back to normal, but if I "Clear Settings" everything turns to crap again.

PLEASE help save my sanity and my reputation! --I have spent the last five days exhausting every possible solution to this debilitating issue. I have spent countless hours perusing the web for a solution, spent 4 hours yesterday with Adobe customer support and yet, there is no solution to be found. My issue is that the color (in every file format NEF, JPEG, PSD) completely changes color and desaturates in every one of the adobe products: Photoshop CS5, Camera RAW 6.2, Lightroom 3.2. -
Everything was working fine, and then out of no where my productivity has come to a crashing halt. This is the steps I have taken to this point:
-Uninstalling/re-installing all of the software
-Purging anything that can be purged.
-Changing color profiles
-Resetting defaults
-Resetting preferences
-Installing updated drivers for monitor, video cards
-rollling back drivers for monitor, video cards
-monitor recalibration
**and finally, today...I set the monitor up on another computer, OS windows xp, and to my complete surprise, the issue persists even on another pc with completely different hardware.
-I am at my wits end with this. I have clients ringing my phone off the hook. This is crazy!
-I have sent out for another monitor as a last ditch effort to see if something is wrong with the monitor.
PLEASE, if anyone has a solution please let me know. Apparently, the folks at Adobe are just as perplexed by these issues as we are, as I have found numerous posts on forums throughout the Internet with this same issue---and yet none of the post every found a solution.

CS5 - Color difference between Photoshop and other programs

I'm running CS5.5 student edition on a brand new Asus Q500A laptop running Windows 8. i7 processor and a UMA graphics card.
I do not have calibration software; I'm using Calibrize for the moment and colors appear fairly true when browsing after calibration.
My problem is that overall colors in Photoshop appear more saturated than those in regular browser windows, particularly reds. I set up my computer to run the Win8 photos app and my desktop with Photoshop simultaneously and the color difference was immediately noticeable. I did a quick screen grab to show the difference; the inset photo is the one viewed in Win8's photos app, and the background is the exact same photo open in Photoshop.
This is the second install of this program. I originally installed it on a Dell Inspiron with a DuoCore processor (way out of spec, I know - that's why I upgraded!) and I seem to remember having this issue then, too. I found a way to correct it, but I don't remember how I fixed it and Photoshop is no longer on that machine so I can't look over my settings.
I have not changed the color profile in Photoshop. When installed it chose North America General Purpose 2 as default and I've left it there. I experimented with the other color profiles and while the color tone in Photoshop changes, there is still a difference when the image is viewed in another program.
Any help is much appreciated - I can't trust the program to handle color properly right now and until I can, I'm dead in the water.

I'm sorry, but I have to disagree. When I view the image on another computer or my iPhone, the image views properly. It's my photography, from a tree in my back yard. I know how the image is supposed to look, and right now it doesn't look right in Photoshop.
On my previous machine, I am almost positive that it was saving as sRGB by default as well. I don't remember what color profile I was working in, but I know that I did not have a color profile/space error pop up on opening new images, nor do I have that problem on other images saved on that machine that I'm opening on the laptop.

PS CS5 and Bridge not showing correct colors

When I open up pictures in Photoshop CS5 and view them in Bridge, I see a really washed out color and the pictures look horrible. However, when bring them up in Pictureviewer or another application I see the correct colors. In PS the mode is set to RGB color like normal. Please help!

Well, I'm not necessarily suggesting it as a permanent solution, just a workable fix to get up and working again. Which is what I've always done - anything's better than those useless junk profiles that these manufacturers keep pushing down unsuspecting users' throats.
But it's true, some calibrators really are "silly devices" and in some cases you really are better off using sRGB. I've accumulated about 8 or 10 different calibrators over the years but if you ask me now I only trust two of them. Both especially and exclusively made for the displays they're used on.
Still, it never hurts to get into good habits early on. Your knowledge improves, your equipment improves, and you move on. The early takeaway for me was that it helped me understand what color management is and what it does - and where it does it. Pretty basic stuff, but nevertheless an important leap in understanding. A small step for a man and all that...

Color in both Bridge CS5 and ACR look yellow.

The color in my images are all yellow. I've seen some posts but so far no answer to the problem. Can anything at all be done to fix this problem. It it very, very frustrating. Because it's so yellow I cant use ACR for anything at all. Please help
Igor

Ok, for anyone having this problem with both Bridge cs5 and ACR. Here is what solved my problem. All images were looking yellow both in bridge and Camera Raw, so after I did a back up of my harddrive as a System Image all problems were gone! I have no idea what happened, but now the colors are just fine. The problem corrected itself. So, there you have it. Problem fixed.

Image Lr3 to CS5 and back looks wrong

I just installed Lr3 (was using 2.7) and CS5 (was using CS3). From Lr I took an image to retouch in CS5 and when it came back to Lr it looked terrible - the exposure had changed at least a stop and I did not do that in PS. What happened? Do I have a setting wrong? I loved how I had Lr2 set up and I have lost it all. In Lr2 the edited image would automaticaalycome back with a T (for tweaked) added to the name and look like it did when it left PS.

I bought Lr3 a long time ago and did not install it (dumb but I had my reasons at the time). I was thinking maybe I should just get Lr4 now but I saw advice to wait because it was slow. I would have to pay for it at this point I'd bet. Do you think I shoulw just get Lr4 so I don't have to go through this grief again soon?
I have imported the image in Lr and have made my adjustments there as always and then taking it into Ps for retouching and when it returns it is fubared.

PS CS3/CS4/CS5 and Snaplab UP-CR10L color calibration question

Sorry for the bad screen name, but after getting 20-30 (name in use) messages, I decided to go for RANDOM characters, and IT WORKED!!
Anyway, here is my inquiry.....
I have all three PS versions mentioned above, on an Intel Mac, and recently picked up a Snaplab event photo printer, UP-CR10L. It does 4x6 and 5x7 dye sub prints. It is geared toward kiosk type printing, but can be printed to from the computer. I may well use it printing from a computer, and by simpll"plugging in" the CF card directly, depending on circumstances. My primary issue at the present is when printing from PS however.
What is the best procedure for making sure the printer produces "what it should" when printing from PS? Can it be calibrated with the X-Rite Studio calibration hardware/software, or is everything "internal" so that it will print "what it thinks is right" irregardless of what user "wants" it to?
I ask because Sony ( the manufacturer) has been of very little help in this inquiry (I have gone through multiple support desks, and have gone full circle (A->B->C->A) several times. Although there is mention of a color profile for the later model of this printer (UP-CR20L), I can find nothing on THIS specific model with regards to the best ways of doing color management.
Oh, and as additional "side issue" with CS5, you also see this in the printer setup, but ONLY in CS5
"The bundle UP-CR10 PrintColorSetup PDE Could not load because it doesn't contain a version for the current architecture"
There are apparently NO new drivers for this printer beyond what I am using, and it is running the latest firmware (3.5).
Any and all thoughts, suggestions, or rants will be greatly appreciated.

A CF card is for Compact Flash used in pro digital cameras like the Nikon D3.
With this "specific" printer I am unsure of the available calibration options. There does not appear to be a way (in Mac anyway) to disable the printer handling color corrections (which PS specifically tells you to DISABLE) when you have "Photoshop Manages Colors" selected. I guess that has me "second guessing".
Maybe I had too many years in the QA department....I was always looking for "what something could be interpreted as " vs "what the author actually intended".
Oh.... and the 32 vs 64 bit suggestion did make that odd error go away...of course it caused ANOTHER Sony software addon for this printer to "fail to load".....even though it DID LOAD before ....

Suddenly lost color spectrum in CS5? all pinks and greens!

I'm working in AI and PS CS5, and suddenly all my colors are various shades of hot pinks and neon green. Color libraries - all the same. It seems to be a bug within CS5 because I've got no problems with monitor or other programs. Any file opened in CS5 gives this result, yet they print fine. I've tried rebooting - same deal. It's as if it's somehow been set to half of CMYK? Any advice greatly appreciated!
my config is CS5 on Windows XP 64bit

Thank you, Mylenium!
This has become a nightmare beyond anything I've experienced in my 10 years using this program. After following Wade's advice (and ignoring the sarcasm attached) I found myself in even further difficultly.
I've now done a complete re-install of CS5, and am still experiencing the same issue. It's as is the Gamma is off. This happens in both AI and PS. After trying every research/expert forum I can come across, I am now wondering if this has anything to do with Windows XP 64-bit. I'm thinking I may need to revert back to an older OS.
thanks again for any thoughts or advice!
