Odd, Color Cast After Opening Edited RAWs in PS5

I shoot strictly in RAW and open edit all my RAW files in Bridge 4.0.5.11 (CS5). All goes well here until I send the images over to PS5, where upon opening there, they all seem to have a much warmer, yellowish cast. Oddly enough, they'll print seemingly OK. Have I possibly gotten something set wrong in Photoshop that causes this wierd off-color cast?

Not enough information, but it sounds like a color management issue.

No you don't. Bridge is just an image browser, it does not edit anything, it just hands the files over to your editing application, whether this be Adobe Camera Raw (ACR), Photoshop, Illustrator or even Microsoft Word. What version of ACR are you using to convert your raw files?
Calibrate and profile your monitor often and regularly, preferably with a hardware calibrator puck. Check all your color settings.

Strange yellow color cast after CS4 install

I just ran into a strange problem helping a friend install PS CS4. Everything seemed to go fine, but now all of a sudden his images are displayed with a strong yellow tint. I don't mean a slight color cast, I mean a STRONG yellow tint. The images appear the same in Photoshop, the Bridge, and even ACR. I re-calibrated the monitor (Gretag McBeth) and generated a new profile just be sure, but that wasn't it. The same images viewed in other applications (Picassa, opened in a browser, etc.) on the same computer display normally. This appears to be only Photoshop related. What's also interesting is that CS3 now exhibits the same problem after the CS4 install.
I reviewed all the color settings and workflow, and nothing is out of the ordinary. The Nikon raw images were imported via ACR, and opened in Photoshop with ACR workflow options set for 16 bit/Adobe RGB. Photoshop working space is Adobe RGB. I also installed the 11.0.1 update. But here are what may be a couple of clues. First, it's not just the image files that look bad. The colors are awful in the color picker in the toolbox. The entire color picker slider is almost all yellow and orange. And here's another good one. We tried importing some new raw images via the photo downloader in Bridge. With the downloader in Advanced mode, the image previews before download show the same yellow cast. But after I click the Get Photos button, the image colors appear correct as they flash on for a couple of seconds while being downloaded. This has got to be a big clue for someone. What's different about how the image is displayed during that two second preview during the actual download?
The PC hardware is a 3.2Ghz Pentium 4 Dell tower (2G ram) running XP Pro w/SP3, with a nVidia GeForce 7800 graphics card, and the screen resolution is 1024x768. I'm thinking maybe a graphics card issue or corrupted system profiles, but I'm a Mac and he's a PC so my PC troubleshooting skills are limited.
Has anyone else seen a problem like this before?? Any ideas? Thanks!

DW CS4 keeps duplicating recordset code after opening/editing a recordset

Hi all,
I'm wasting lots of time editing and re-editing recordsets in DW CS4 using the PHP server model.
After opening a recordset an making changes, DW will break the recordset code duplicating it.
This appen even if I open and suddendly close the recordset without making any changes.
This is a critical bug.
Is there a fix/update/workaround?
At this time the solution is to delete the recordset in the code view (paying attention to not delete something useful) and to re-create it by scratch.
This is not a sample to feature the screamed adobe productivity applications.
Any suggestion will be really appreciated.
TIA
tony

This forum is for Extension Authoring, so you'll probably get a better response from the DW Application Development forum.
Try uninstalling all of your extensions to see if that fixes the problem. If so, then just install extensions 1 at a time as you need them to help isolate the problem. Next, I'd try deleting your entire User Configuration folder. Otherwise, uninstalling and reinstalling DW may be the only way to fix it.
HTH,
Randy

Color is now wacked after opening a RAW image

I just recently opned a RAW image and did some work on it and didn't notice any color issues. I later opened another file that I was working on earlier today (a website) and noticed my colors have changed. Bright orange is now a dull peach color etc. I've seen this before but I can't remember how to fix the problem. I have tried different color settings, sRGB, 1966, 1998 but nothing seems to work. Please help as I have a tight deadline on the site and there is no way I can hand this off to the coders.
I've attached a png file of what the colour is supposed to look like and a jpeg of what it looks like now.
Ok I just checked the attachments and the color looks correct on both. I know it's not the monitor as other programs like InDesgn display the color correctly. This is weird.

Here is the file profile: sRGB IEC61966-2.1
That is not your monitor profile.
to calibrate your monitor you really need a hardware calibrator they cost anywhere from $100 to $200
You can use Apples eyeball calibrator in system prefs > monitors but LCDs really need to be calibrated with something like the X-rite EyeOne 2

Color wrong after editing in Photoshop

Tonight I edited a jpg file in photoshop, choosing to edit a copy without applying lightroom adjustments, which gives me a jpg in photoshop. I edited it, flattened it, and saved as a jpg. I immediately noticed a pink or magenta cast to the view of it in Lightroom. I've done this procedure often and never noticed a change in color before.
I have done it several times with the same result. If I save the file as a psd and force Lightroom to find it, then it has the correct color, so this is a jpg thing.
Using Windows Viewer, if I export from Lightroom the pink/magenta cast is there, just as it shows in Lightroom. If I view the file that Lightroom is using with Windows Viewer the color is as photoshop shows.
I get the same pink/magenta color cast if I edit a copy in Elements.
I tried searching the forum and didn't see anything that looked like this. I checked and I don't have any develop settings specified, even if they would apply to actions such as editing in an external application.

Thank you Jeff! I thought I was going crazy! I remember now setting that the other day to save something to upload to the web and it "sticks".
But it only makes a magenta shift in Lightroom!? This must be yet another bug that we who are just TOO PICKY should complain about?
This should be in the FAQ in case it isn't. I don't know though how one would find it in a FAQ without reading all of them because when you get this you have no idea what is wrong.

How to Edit RAWs first in LR and cto ontinue in RAW in PS-CS2

After having edited RAW photographs in LR I would like to be able to continue my editing in RAW in PS-CS2. However when I go from LR to PS-CS2 with "edit in Photoshop.exe" it opens a PSD file and therefore I can not continue in PS-CS2 RAW.
What can I do?
Thanks for reply!

LR lacks the hooks to do what you want, pass RAW to ACR and then open in PSCS. Maybe some day. For now Export with XMP sidecar and open in PSCS from Bridge. As Geoff and Lee Jay indicate, ACR will pick-up what you havw done in LR and then you can continue from there. The only way for now.

Panasonic GF1 horrible color cast

It seems that Aperture has some serious issues with a magenta color cast when converting GF1 RAW files. It's not so apparent with 100-200 ISO (but still there, especially whith large white balance shifts) images but once you get to ISO 800 the images become unusable.
The color cast is mostly apparent in the dark(er) parts of the image.
Check out the following links to some quick test images that illustratie the problem perfectly. The first link is the image developed in Aperture (latest version) with the white balance set on the white wall in the background. The second link is the same image developed through the latest Camera Raw with the white balance set in the exact same spot.

The Camer Raw image is perfect. Is anybody else seeing this issue with the GF1 (or other Panasonic cameras with similar sensors). It makes using the GF1 with Aperture impossible.
It's quite unfortunate as Aperture performs great with my D700 images and I really don't want to switch to Lightroom because it's horrible as a library management application compared to Aperture (altough Camera Raw is giving me better results and noise reduction, lens correction and split toning are great, but I digress...).
Also check out this thread for a similar experince with the GH2 (+4 months old):
http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/readflat.asp?forum=1041&message=37849807&chang emode=1
The people in that thread have sent feedback to Apple and AFAIK this hansn't been resolved yet so I'm not getting my hopes up.

Raw files are not visible. They must be converted to an image file format in order to be seen. This is done in-camera for display on the LCD screen, and for export of JPG (or other) files. For almost all cameras, any processing which changes the appearance is done to a JPG file.
When you import raw files +you do not get the JPG processing+. That's what raw is -- it's the light information prior to being converted to an image format. (The are enormous advantages to having this data available.) That is why your raw file previews are in color.
There are a number of monochrome and grayscale conversion presents in all raw development programs. It is generally accepted that these do a better job than most of the in-camera converters. There is no question that they give a choice among many -- as well as the ability to tweak them to your heart's -- or your printer's -- content, unlike the baked-in conversions done in-camera.
In short, raw is never black & white or monochrome. Adobe has a good older white paper on raw which is worth reading: +Understanding Digital Raw Capture+.
OS X is working correctly.

Red Color Cast when printing with Canon Pixma Pro 9000

My printer is giving me a horrible red color cast after the latest software update. The color cast can also be seen in Preview and in the print window. No changes to drivers have been made. Printer worked fine before the update.
Has anyone else found this problem and offered a solution?

You may find it helpful.
Thanks, but if you look in the archives of the Apple ColorSync Users List, you'll find thousands of posts from his Mac dating back to the beginning of the List.
The principle is that you configure your device colour spaces to the largest gamut of which they are capable, calibrate them to a stable condition, characterise that condition in a measured test chart, and build ICC device profiles for those characterisations in your ICC profiling package of choice.
You then capture and correct colour with correct colour previews, resulting in normalised exposures in an ideal CIE colour space. With you normalised exposures, you convert into output condition 1, output condition 2, output condition n which is what repurposing is about.
But you do no apply a gamma change on top of the colour managed rendering. That is incorrect by definition. You apply your gamma change as part of the colour correction in order to get your normalised exposure.
If you imagine this in a prepress process, then you can forget the concept of determinate rendering which is the bedrock of the ICC architecture. If you as photographer do a gamma correction on top of your presentation print or proof print, then you can claim that you have a presentation print, but you cannot contractually claim that you have a proof print as your proof print is a colour correction on top of the colour management system. If Apple Aperture allows the user access to colour correction on top of colour management, then that is a bug in the application. Sorry ...

Red / brown color cast with Pantone Huey

Hi all
I may have made a breakthrough in trying to figure out why my prints don't look like what's on the screen despite calibrating my monitor, downloading the lab's icc files, softproofing, etc.
I believe my Huey Pantone (the cheaper version, not the Pro) is creating a reddish/brownish color cast after calibration.
It became very apparent when I set my background to light gray and turned the Huey to "uncorrected". I checked the Pantone website and there seem to be known issues for this. I guess they'll send me a new device (tech support was backed up so I didn't get through).
A couple of questions:
1. For others that use Huey, how do you do your calibration? What do you set brightness too? Room lights on or off? Got any color casts, or is it clean? BTW, I have the dreaded left to right gradient, do you think that's affecting things?
2. If you've got a good monitor profile, would you consider emailing it to me, just so I could play around with it and compare to my calibrated setting?
Thanks!

have you tried reporting this on the pantone support site - if you do a search there, you'll find a couple of problems mentioning the same thing your seeing.
I have the same problem and it could be a broken calibrator.

Color Cast to Phase One IQ files after opened.

I used the Lightroom beta 3.5 beta with CR 6.5 beta and now have installed the update of these two products. In beta I was able to open Phase One IQ raw files just fine but now with the 3.5 release I obtain a funny Magenta color cast that displays in the Library Mode and thumbnail but does not display in the Development Mode. This happens on both my Mac Laptop and workstation. Mac OS 10.6.8. I have not yet tried uninstalling LR and reinstalling, will do that next. The first image is in the Library mode after I have opened the file. The second is from the Development Mode. Notice how the tumbnail at the bottom remains constant but the small image on the left has changed in the Development mode to its natural look.
I should say that this color cast happens after I adjust the temperature settings of the image, not just from mearly opening it in Development.

I did this and it did not solve the problem. Still generating magenta tint.

Bridge Raw adds a blue color cast to every pic once opened in PS.

This happens with every picture. Whether I make an edit in bridge raw or just open it in bridge raw. Once I ask to open the image in photoshop the color cast is added. Please notice the navigator window image is normal. I have a new hard drive and just reinstalled Adobe Creative Suite 4 and the problem is still there. I do not know what to do.

Read up on color mangement. such strong differences in color point to a severely screwed monitor colkor setting/ color profile.

Why when I open my raw files into lightroom, colors are different from my camera's preview?

Ciao,
I have a problem... maybe this can be a stupid question but anyway.. I would like to know the reason why when I open a raw image in lightroom, for a second I see the right colors/tone/contrast that i see when i look at the same images on my camera and soon after the word "Loading" I see the raw files with different colors.
Why this happens???
Before "Loading" and --> after
Thank you so much

Hey Giuseppe
I have a similar problem but the cause may be different from yours. I shoot a Canon 6D and as far as I know no one with the 5D MKIII has my issue, but maybe you could look into it.
Canon's Adobe Camera Raw in Photoshop CC, as well as Lightroom CC, is automatically down converting my CR2 RAW files from 14 bit color depth to 8 bit color depth. This is screwing up my colors, contrast, gradients, etc quite a bit when trying to process RAW files in Photoshop CC and Lightroom CC.
You can read my thread here:
Banding due to automatic downconverting of RAW files to 8 bit
You might want to check and see if your RAW files are actually being processed in 16 bit color depth. There is a possibility that they are being down converted automatically for some reason.
The bit depth in Lightroom for RAW files is supposed to be 16 bit but when opening my files it just converts it down.
Try downloading Canon's Digital Photo Professional 4
Canon U.S.A. : Consumer & Home Office : EOS 5D Mark III
Use that software to process a RAW photo and convert to a 16 bit TIFF. I know this software truly gives you a 16 bit depth image. Then compare the result side to side with what you're seeing in Lightroom.
If you are having this issue, I have not yet found a way to process RAW CR2 files in ACR or Lightroom and maintain 16 bit depth.
If you are batch processing to JPEGs it probably doesn't matter, but my issue is that it is down converting BEFORE exporting and thus any edits I do become much more destructive on my 8 bit image than they would if I was editing a 16 bit image. I have to be able to keep things in 16 bit up until the point they go to the printer.
Sorry, this may not help you at all, it looks like there could just be a difference in White Balance, but I figured I'd throw my two cents out there and maybe you could see if this is actually what is happening for you, and hopefully eventually Adobe could potentially fix this bug.

Editing RAW files after taking it in to Photoshop

Hello, I'll probably have a hard time explaining my question but I will do so to the best of my ability.
When I import to lightroom, I leave my RAW files (canon .cr2) as is and I do not convert them to DNG.
I am able to use presets to preview the finished file- and I notice I have exact color temp sliders when editing the RAW files.
I then reset the RAW file and take it into photoshop to perform mainly skin touchups- but when I save it back it saves as a PSD.
Then when I use my preset- im able to generally get the color close to what the preset looks like on RAW but there are still some things about the photo
that I can not exactly put my finger on- but they are different. I like the way the sliders change things when editing raw but not after saving as PSD or TIFF.
I know its not possible to "SAVE AS RAW" in photoshop to have all the same controls back in lightroom- but is there any way around this?
I know I could technically use the preset in lightroom BEFORE going into photoshop but I like using the preset as a final touch regarding color and
using the highlights shadows whites and blacks sliders.
Is there anyway to make my presets look exactly the same as they do on a RAW file but on a saved file from photoshop?
Or is there any workaround?
Thank you!

By the time you are editing in Photoshop you are no longer working on the raw image. Photoshop might indicate that you are, but it is only telling you the name of the file from which the image came. Photoshop cannot save raw images because it cannot edit raw image data. The conversion has already taken place. There is a workaround, sort of. Do is much as you can in Lightroom and then open into Photoshop as a smart object. Then you can return to Camera Raw from Photoshop to make adjustments on the raw image data. This works best however, if Lightroom and Camera Raw are from the same version.

Edited Raw Files Won't Open In CS4

I run Lightroom v 3.3 and now that I have sorted out a CS$ problem I am unable to open an edited nikon raw file in CS$ via the option Photo/edit in/CS4. I get this message 'Lightroom was unable to prepare the selected files at volume/........ for editing. It will not be opened.
So whilst I used to be able to open seamlessly and edit raw images in CS4 after doing work in LR3.3 I cannot now do so. Is it an issue with Lightroom (I suspect it is) or a setting in my camera D3s?
Just prior to this I could not open these same files in CS4 without a serious degradation in the colour but corrected that by unchecking 'compensate for scene-referred profiles' in colour management in CS4.
I am Mac with latest snow leopard OS.
Can anyone advise, please?

Sorry You can actually upgrade to Camera Raw 5.6
Delete the existing Camera Raw 8bi file from the File Formats Folder before starting
Click and download the plug-in
Open the zip folder you just downloaded and click Extract Files.
You should see the plug-in file you need. The plug in has a file name: Camera Raw.8bi
Now drag the plug-in file (or copy it) into the File Formats folder in the following location:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 6\File Formats\
Note: Before you start the download you need to do some preparation. Navigate to the File Formats File on the Laptop and move Camera Raw.8bi I suggest you move it from the File Formats folder to My Documents or drag it to the desktop before you begin. This will prevent it being overwritten by the new Camera Raw file (it will have the same name) and you can always move it back again if the download installation fails.
If your laptop is running a 64-bit edition of Windows, then move the plug-in file from the unzipped download folder by navigating to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 6.0\Plug-Ins\File Formats.

Magenta color cast problem on canon 7d raw files

when i import canon raw files (cr2) into lightroom 3, i get a magenta color cast over the whole image. the thumbnail image looks fine, but when lightroom opens up the image, it get's a magenta color cast over the whole thing. i shot raw+jpeg mode too, and there's a huge differnce in color between the two. the jpeg looks like how i shot it in camera but the raw image has the ugly magenta color. not only do i get this ugly color, but it seems like there's added noise compared to jpeg image.
i tried converting the cr2 into a dng. but when i open that in lightroom, i get the same problem.
i use aperture 2.1 (i only use the lr3 trial so far), but i have the same problem there.
i use cs3 but i downloaded cs5 trial.
acr i have is 6.1
help.
thanks.

Go to develop and the callibration tab and change it in the pull down menu to a canon default like 'Neutral' and not the adobe one which is made by somebody totally colour blind or obviously a Nikon fan.
Although this is weird as the problem for me has always been canon JPG's with the cast and not the RAW.
Also check your white balance cause Lightroom seems to change it whatever.. 'AS SHOT' is a big fat Adobe lie so use a preset from your camera in the drop down box.. Why? I shoot with Canon's flash WB setting which i know to be 5500k with the tint at zero. On import, Lightroom changes it to 6150 and adds an amazing +7 on the magenta tint, if i chose 'FLASH' things suddenly turn to what i see on the camera LCD.. I'm sure that is where the big fat tint has come from since day one.
