Olympus em-10 color poor via ACR8.5

my Olympus OMD EM10 RAW files look terrible in Lightroom with ACR8.5 in many cases the colours are totally over saturated.Has anyone else experienced this? In Olympus own software colours are perfect!

My experience with the raw files from my OMD -EM1 is exactly the opposite. Do you have your computer monitor profiled and calibrated using a hardware device if not then you are viewing in the dark. Also make sure you are not applying any auto tone adjustments or presets on import.

  • Profile for Canon G10 to simulate Olympus E-3 colors

    I want to create a profile for Canon G10 which will simulate Olympus E-3 colors.
    I performed the following steps, but the result is very disappointing:
    1. Photographed a GretacgMacbeth ColorChecker with a G10 and a E-3, in the same light conditions (Open shade) in RAW.
    2. Converted the RAW files to DNG with DNG Converter 5.4, all default settings.
    3. Opened the E-3 DNG file in Profile Editor. White balanced by right-click on patch #19. Set Base Profile to E-3 Adobe Standard, Color table 6500K, 'Both color tables'.
    4. Set 18 Control Points, one on each color patch, #1 to #18. Wrote down the HSL values for each.
    5. Closed the E-3 file and cleared everything.
    6. Opened the G10 DNG file in Profile Editor. White balanced by right-click on patch #19. Set Base Profile to G10 Camera Standard, Color table 6500K, 'Both color tables'.
    4. Set 18 Control Points, one on each color patch, #1 to #18. Wrote down the HSL values for each.
    7. Noted the numeric difference between the HSL values for each patch in the G10 file, vs the E-3 file.
    8. Corrected the HSL values for each control point, by the numeric difference between the two files.
    9. Saved and exported with a new name.
    Obviously I did something wrong, because the result is BAD!
    I'll appreciate it if someone could help and point me in the right direction.
    Thanks,
    Moshe

    I'd like to add two observations about my above experiment:
    1. If I change the values of a Control Point using the sliders or the point on the color wheel, the preview changes, but much less than the change of the slider. Say, I change the H slider to -10, the change in the preview is only -2, or so. Is that how it should be?
    2. If I hover with the cursor over a color patch in the ColorChecker preview the values change, probably due to noise, and it's difficult to decide which is the correct point. I didn't find an option, like in Photoshop, to set the sampling size so the value is an average of several pixels in all directions.

  • ACR 4.3.1 and Olympus E-3: colors different

    I am comparing the colors as output by ACR 4.3.1 (as used in LightRoom) and Olympus Studio 2 (the Olympus tool). The colors obtained by processing a RAW file in the two tools are noticeably different. Sometimes, LightRoom seems to produce more realistic colors; other times, the Olympus Studio colors are better. In particular, LightRoom colors are often too yellow-ish, while Olympus Studio colors have more intense (and occasionally exaggerated) reds.
    Has Adobe performed calibration of ACR 4.3.1 for the Olympus E-3? With what target, maximum fidelity in color reproduction? Are there settings one can use in LR (and ACR 4.3.1) to obtain colors similar to the Olympus? I tried adjusting the settings in the Camera Calibration section, but with my limited technique I was not able to obtain a good match.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    All the best,
    Luca

    That is to be expected. ACR uses a different methodology from other converters to produce its profiles.
    This is the process if you are interested: http://inside-lightroom.com/profiling.php
    For Calibration you might want to look at the Fors Script http://fors.net/chromoholics/index.php or the Rags Script http://www.rags-int-inc.com/PhotoTechStuff/AcrCalibration/ and also the original article by Bruce Fraser.
    For colour profiles you might like to try Huelight as well http://www.huelight.com

  • Color Management via Dynamic link

    Hey guys.
    I know I don't know too much about color management right now, but a read a handy article linked from this forum that suggested that all comps should be set to a 32 bit (or 16) linearized workflow with the sRGB 2.1 working space.
    So far I have found the colors to be more accurate than AE's default setting and I like it. My problem now lies via Dynamic Link with Premiere Pro.
    I am working on a sequence handed over to me for VFX'ing. Using Dynamic link makes it easier to work between the 2 programs, but when I work with the above color management settings, the resulting image in AE looks fine, but the image updating in Premiere is several notches darker.
    Is there a way to effective work via dynamic link and color management between the 2 projects?
    Many thanks.

    Actually, I notified you DO NOT linearise your working space until you fully understand linear workflow. That, among other things, means you shouldn't linearise working space in all AE projects. Quite contrary, you should understand, when to linearise them and when not. That Stu Maschwitz blogpost, the link to which I submitted, contains a lot of other links, including this one to the discussion on when to go linear.
    Your current issue relates to the question that neither PrPro nor AME is colour manageable (color aware) application. It can be corrected in several ways:
    1. As Rick said, just turn Linearize Working Space off (it can ruin your current colour correction as well).
    2. Apply Gamma Correction effect onto your dynamically linked comp in PrPro timeline (which is not quite correct workaround, actually).
    3. So as not to rebuild Dynamic Link, pre-compose what is in your dynamically linked comp now into another one. In your modified dynamically linked comp go to View menu and disable Use Display Color Management. Apply Color Profile Converter onto your pre-comp layer and set Output Profile to sRGB, leaving Input one in default 'Project Working Space' mode.

  • Color grade via solid color blocks

    I am using Premiere Elements 10 on a MacBook Pro and I'm wondering how to apply a solid block of color to a clip and then reduce the opacity to give it a sort of a hazy look, as opposed to playing with individual settings (i.e. tint, saturation, contrast, etc.), though a combination is in all likelihood ideal. I know it was possible to do this in some of the early versions and I'm hoping this is the case here as well. I'm new to APE from Final Cut Express 4. All help is greatly appreciated.

    First, just the Crop Effect should not degrade the Color Matte, or anything else. However, if one then Scales up, there will be degradation.
    For Position, just Select your Color Matte, or Template, and go to Effects. If you have not added any other Effects, like Crop, you will see the Fixed Effects, Motion, Opacity, Rotation and Volume if you also have Audio. Go to the Motion Effect and twirl it open (little triangle to the left), and you will then see two Motion Effects, Position and Scale. Make sure that the CTI (the Current Time Indicator w/ the red edit line - also referred to as the Playhead) is on the first Frame of that Matte, or Template, and then use Position to move it to the desired location. This will add a single Keyframe at the Head (first Frame) of your Clip. You can adjust the Position in several ways, such as dragging the Bounding Box, or by clicking and then typing in the coordinates for Vertical and Horizontal, or by click+scrubbing the values in the coordinate boxes. I like typing in the values, as that is what I find to be the most precise.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS - as you also mentioned Opacity, above, if you need to adjust that, follow the same steps, but just go to the Fixed Effect>Opacity, and adjust that too.
    Note: all of those adjustments can be Keyframed, so that they change over time, but if I read your post correctly, you do not need that, in this case. Just keep that in the back of your mind.

  • Yosemite display now 'flat' lacking contrast, colors poor

    Is there any way I can revert back to the old display settings while using Yosemite on my 15" MacBook Pro? The new color palate is flat and display lacks contrast; in various non-Apple products (Photoshop, for example) buttons are now white-text-on-white (invisible). Why did Apple take a nice set of fonts and display and turn it into this!?

    Hello
    I have exactly the same problem. I tried erase the PR RAM but the problem is still there. I tried a new monitor calibration but still not enough contrast and it looks bad. Who can help?

  • 3D Text color properties not updating on stage

    I'm using a 3D Text object, and changing the color dyamically
    via:
    member("3D Text").diffuseColor = rgb(redVal, grnVal, bluVal)
    (More complicated than that, but this is the simplified
    version. I'm also
    playing around with directionalColor, ambientColor, and
    specularColor.)
    At any rate, watching the color values in the Object
    Inspector shows the
    colors are indeed doing what I ask them to, but on the stage
    it doesn't
    reflect the changes. I've tried with or without Direct to
    Stage, tried
    using an UpdageStage() command every frame, tried setting the
    sprite's loc
    value to itself (to force a redraw), but nothing seems to
    work. I can get
    the colors to update by manually checking and unchecking the
    DTS box in the
    Property Inspector while the movie is running, so I know it's
    doing the
    color changes, just not displaying it unless forced to
    redraw. How can I
    force this redraw via script? I know I've done it before, but
    it was a long
    time (and several versions) ago, and I've since lost the code
    to do it. Any
    help here?

    > You could try setting 'the stageColor = the stageColor'

    Nope, no dice. Doesn't matter if it's DTS or not. I just
    found that
    checking and unchecking DTS caused it to refresh. The same is
    true if I
    check/uncheck any other property - antialias, wordWrap,
    editable, autoTab,
    anything. But obviously, that doesn't help me much if I can't
    find a way to
    refresh it via scripts...

  • Color management issue from Photoshop Acrobat

    I'm having an issue that I believe has been isolated to Acrobat X related to Color Management, but was referred to this Photoshop forum because more experts in color management tend to read here. My thread in the Acrobat forum with several updates on tests is here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4646650#4646650
    The short version is that any RGB image I create in any app (including Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign, a non-Adobe app with Word, and Acrobat's own PDF from Screen Capture feature) displays in both Acrobat X and Adobe Reader with dull colors, very similar (if not identical) to how an RGB file with full intensity colors (i.e. R255 or G255) looks when converted to CMYK.
    I've tried numerous settings in the Color Management system, and have Synchronized my Color Settings via Bridge across all Adobe CS6 apps. I've tried synchronizing to both the default North American General Purpose 2, and the (sometimes suggested) Monitor Color, using a calibrated profile for my Dell display from OS X's built-in tool. Have also tried various settings of Preserving Embedded Profiles, ignoring them, Assigning a new Color Profile to a document, turning off color management completely, etc. No change in result.
    I have a multi-monitor setup (3 external Dell displays connected to a Macbook Pro, 2 of them via USB video devices), but I've also tried making each display (including the laptop's built-in display) my Primary monitor and can see the color shift on each one, so it doesn't appear to be a calibration issue.
    This issue is on my Mac at the office. I have a similar setup at home (albeit a MacPro 1,1 vs. a laptop) but with the same Dell monitors and CS6 software installation, and I can take the same document (whether it's InDesign, Illustrator, or Photoshop), make a PDF of it, and it displays with 100% accurate colors when viewed in Acrobat X.
    In addition to the tests mentioned in my original thread, I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling both Acrobat X and Adobe Reader.
    I believe the issue is related to Acrobat, as I can repeat the issue with no other apps than Acrobat in the workflow: if I display a full-intensity RGB image on screen, then use Acrobat X to create a PDF from Screen Capture, the resulting PDF immediately shifts to the dull colors.
    Have also thoroughly checked through Acrobat's preferences, as it seems almost as if there's a setting somewhere along the lines of "View all PDFs in CMYK color gamut", but no such setting exists. I did a complete uninstall of Acrobat X as well, which I imagine would also dump its Preferences, so it would be a clean reinstall.
    Another interesting note: Apple's Preview app seems to display the PDF with accurate RGB colors, so I know the PDF actually has the correct color definitions intact. But the same PDF opened in Acrobat X or Reader side-by-side displays the dull colors.
    Any thoughts?
    -R

    i wasn't able to follow your lengthy post, and the color management chain is too complicated (for me) to address here other to say Acrobat reads tagged elements and converts their colors to Monitor RGB (so you must have stripped the profiles in the PDF, and the Acrobat CMS is applying or passing through the wrong profile)
    further, if you don't want to rely on profiles, your safest bet (for screen viewing) is to CONVERT everything to sRGB (but i would still include the profile in case someone wants to display or print the document 'accurately'
    Here is a look at a several critical color setting in Export to Acrobat that control: Downsampling, Compression, Color Conversions, Destination, and Tagging (click on image for blowup):

  • RGB Color management between Illustrator and Photoshop

    Hi,
    I have a color management issue when exporting JPGs from Illustrator and opening them in Photoshop:
    In Illustrator (file is in RGB mode), I have a logo which has the color RGB 0/0/153 and I export a JPG. When I open the file in Photoshop, the color is RGB 1/0154.
    I have activated Adobe CC Color Manegement via Adobe Bridge (option "Europe, Universal 3"), which should produce consistent results in all Adobe applications.
    So which is the color that is actually in the file? And what do I have to do to get the color I want (0/0/153) actually exported from Illustrator? I need this color to comply with corporate design specifications of my client.
    Since I have to produce a lot of files it is not possible to readjust all colors in Photoshop ...
    Thank you!
    Michael

    First, check to make sure that the RGB working colorspace is the same for both Illustrator and Photoshop.
    When exporting the jpeg from Illustrator make sure the 'embed' color profile is selected, and it is the color profile that is required for your client. If this is for web use, then sRGB is your best choice.
    When you open the exported image in Photoshop, make sure that the color settings for Photoshop are set to 'Preserve Embedded Profiles'. After you open the image in Photoshop, you can double check by going to Edit > Convert to Profile... The source profile should match the embedded exported profile from Illustrator. If these match, your RGB color values from Illustrator and Photoshop should also match.
    If the source profile does not match, cancel out of the 'Convert to Profile" and go to 'Assign Profile". Assign the profile that you embedded when exporting from Illustrator. Now Photoshop should have the same values as Illustrator.

  • Need To Purchase Color Grading Monitor Today. Please Help

    I've been color-correcting via the 3-Way plugin in FCP for years. At SD, normally DV, resolution via Firewire out to a color, CRT broadcast monitor. So now I'm color grading with Apple Color. Love it. But, I need a new output device and monitor. I say I need a new monitor b/c I now work (sometimes) at HD resolution. It's not often but I do. So my question are:
    • Overall which card and monitor combo should I get?
    • Should I stick with a SD CRT since most of my work is SD?
    • And, if I do, can I still color-correct HD projects with it when the time comes?
    • Should I do some type of HD monitor set-up?
    Right now I'm working with the following:
    • Dual 3Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon G5 Tower
    • 8GB RAM
    • NVIDIA GeForce 7300GT
    • 1 Apple Cinema Display and 1 Wacom Cintiq display

    Jonathon,
    Did you not read my very post to your question? I answered this question for you. Look above, you'll see I tell you that the Kona LHe downconverts hd on the fly and I view it through component analong in my Sony PVM. I don't mind helping but you've asked this question 3 times now.
    Worst case scenario (I guess) would be to down convert the HD footage to SD and color-correct in FCP via a Firewire and a SD CRT monitor. Correct? And if that's the case how would you do the the down conversion before the color-correction?
    Yes, that is a very worst case scenario and one you should avoid. Personally, shooting hd to deliver in sd makes no sense to me at all. Darn near every show I've worked on this year is acquired in hd and then broadcast in sd and we use hardware downconverters that are horrendously expensive and yet the product is marginal.
    If this is the workflow you're going to use, you'll want to use Compressor to change formats but geez, why on earth would you do this when a Kona LHe will do everything you want it to, right out of the box.

Maybe you are looking for
