Phase One color cast in Bridge

Hi all:
I know there are a lot of photographers in this forum, so I'm hoping one you can help/enlighten me.
We just received IIQ images from a photography, shot on a Phase One P45.
When previewing in Bridge CS5, I'm seeing a strong blue cast over the images.
This is the first time we've ever gotten IIQ files that previewed in Bridge with such a heavy cast, and I'm wondering if something wasn't processed right before the files were delivered to us? I have a general knowledge of RAW, but not sure what happens to them before they get delivered. From what I read, it's possible that the photos should have gone through Capture One color management software before being handed to us as processed IIQ files?
Is that the case? Has anyone ever experience this in Bridge and if so, can it be "fix"?
Thanks,
Lisa

Has anyone ever experience this in Bridge and if so, can it be "fix"?
Without having experience with Capture One or Phase One files I know that Adobe Camera Raw 6.x (comes with CS5) does support the IIQ files from Phase One P45 so Bridge should have no trouble in viewing those files.
First put your mouse on that file and with right click menu choose purge cache for selection and see if this brings some light. If not Open the file in Camera Raw (double click or right mouse click choose open in Camera Raw. This should open the file in ACR and see if you still have the color cast and if the white balance is set to normal expected values.
If still a color cast either contact the photographer or set the color temperature values to your wishes

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • Media Encoder adding RBG color casts on BW 16mm Footage

    Hey Everyone,
    I am really stumped by this one. I am working with FCP6 and Apple Pro Res HQ scans of 16mm B&W footage. I am trying to encode a self-contained .mov file (direct from FCP) in Adobe Media Encoder CC (for Blu-ray) and then burn to Blu-ray with Encore CS6.
    I burned the first test Blu-ray last night and when I played it back on my Blu-ray player/TV, I was stunned by the fidelity and definition of the otherwise thick/complicated 16mm grain structure, even via what was only a 6GB .m4v render (compressed from 33.5GB .mov). Everything was perfect...EXCEPT...I got these horrible "color casts" of red, blue, green, magenta, across practically every shot in the footage. Particularly in the last shot of the drain pipe (see example clips 14 seconds long):
    Original: https://vimeo.com/97456916 (pass: "original")
    Blu-ray: https://vimeo.com/97453674 (pass: "colorcast")
    Obviously the footage does not look this in either FCP6 or .mov in QT7. I just double checked and the color casts ARE visible when playing back the ME converted .m4v in Encore. I have also taken the .mov from FCP and brought that into Encore and NO COLORCASTS. I have also taken the .mov, reimported it to FCP and but a 3-Way Color Corrector on it and put the saturation at zero, exported that, and then ME>Encore and it still adds the color....So I am 99% positive this is a Media Encoder issue. Here are the settings I used:
    Considering how long is has taken me to get satisfactory web compression results from 16mm footage in the past, I feel like I just hit a grand slam in the bottom of the 9th with the playback fidelity of the first test Blu-ray. The motion and definition are phenomenal, I mean we are talking Criterion quality--without X.264 or Blu Code--(even with all the modern "overcompensation" crap turned off on my TV). I AM SO SO CLOSE TO RENDERING/BURNING A PERFECT BLU-RAY IF I CAN JUST FIGURE THIS COLOR THING OUT!
    Got a deadline to get this into the hands of a couple of prominent filmmakers.
    Any help or ideas that anyone can provide will be most appreciated.
    Thank so much!

    ***SOLUTION***
    Well it seems silly that I had to do this at all, but here is the workflow that finally seemed to solve the issue without adding an extra level of encoding...
    Save self-contained .mov of my timeline in FCP6 > bring that back in FCP as a separate sequence and apply the "Desaturate" filter (Image Control > Desaturate) to the entire film > save as self-contained .mov again > convert in AME > master and burn to Blu-ray with Encore > Presto!!! NO COLORCASTS on B&W 16mm footage in Encore and no colorcasts from the file on the burned Blu-ray disc.
    I believe I stated it above, but in case I didn't, adjusting the chroma and/or "desaturating" via FCP's color corrector plugins did not work...even with the exact same workflow otherwise. I have no idea why, but if anyone ever runs into the same problem, this worked for me. Only took two weeks to do something that I guessed would take a day, maybe two. Geesh.
    Thanks again guys for all the suggestions. Really really appreciate it.

  • How to easily spot color cast in aperture

    Hi,
    I am having difficulties to properly spot/analyze a color cast in my (scanned from color negatives) images. There is no neutral grey or white present and I'd like to get a handle on correcting this color cast without just trial and error (and making things worse)
    Any hints or ideas? Pointing me to a resource on the web to find out how?
    (Spotting and correcting the color cast in my scanning software (Silverfast Ai) didn'd work as well)
    Thanks a bunch,
    Rolf

    Hi Rolf -- you're question is not really answerable.  Color is almost entirely subjective -- we color our world in our brains, and then we make machines to mimic this (digicam sensors don't record color -- they record luminance as filtered through known colored gels).  Your question presumes an objective standard of color correctness.  That does not exist.
    Nevertheless, you can at least maximize your ability to get the colors as close to "right" as you can.  For that you need a color-calibrated workflow, from input (scanner) to output (whatever).  There is much information on this on the Web.  For Aperture, you'll want a hardware photospectrometer to calibrate your monitor(s) and whatever paper you print on (if you print).  I use a Color Munki Photo, and recommend it or something similar.  (X-Rite has recently announced a revamped product line.)  X-Rite also makes a calibration tool called a Passport.  This has several colors and shades of gray of known hues.  In use, you make an exposure of these colored squares, and then use them to set the white balance.  You might be able to something similar with a scanner.  (I don't use one, and don't know anything about scanner calibration.)
    HTH.  Sorry not to know more.

  • How to Recover a Dark Picture with a Heavy Color Cast

    I just posted this article about how to recover a dark picture with a heavy
    color cast using Lab Color mode in Photoshop. I hope it will be helpful to
    others.

    None taken. I am unfamiliar with ACR and would love to see (compare) what it
    could do with the sample PNG file in the article, and how much time it took.
    The results I achieved in the article took only a few minutes to
    complete--though as I mention below, it took more than a few minutes to get
    to the point where I could do it in a few minutes.
    I happened across a web site one day discussing the techniques in Margulis'
    LAB Color book, which interested me enough to purchase it. I found the book
    very enlightening and have seen incredible results using the techniques he
    describes as applied to my various images. I've also ready his Professional
    Photoshop book which focuses more on CMYK, and found many techniques in
    there just as enlightening.
    Ultimately the tools and techniques used are irrelevant if you get the
    results you want... but if you find one that works faster, easier or better,
    then certainly you should employ it.
    I have no problem working in RGB, CMYK or LAB and find benefits from each.
    The particular sample image I used in the article was one that I've spent
    (too much) time cleaning up in various ways and in various color spaces (or
    combinations thereof). It became my "poster child" image to work on as I
    continue to build my Photoshop skills. The approach I used in the article
    was the one I found most to be the fasted with the most effective results.
    The original was a 6MP JPG file. I reduced it to the size in the article and
    then worked on that size for the remaineder of the article. The resutls are
    equivelant in the fullsize file.

  • Pinkish Color cast in iphoto 08 ?

    Hi everyone,
    I recently purchased a new mac with ilife 08. I noticed in iphoto that when i double click on a picture and it enlarges it, i get a pinkish color cast over the picture. it does it with all the pictures in iphoto. the thumbnails in iphoto look fine. its just when i click to view it larger or in edit mode that i get the strange color cast. does anyone have any ideas what is causing this? I have tried searching the apple support forums , but i am not finding anything on this problem.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Frank

    Frank:
    If you plan on ordering a book or other printed item using the monitor's color profile might not give you what you want. I have calibrated my monitor to the sRGB profile plus a change in gamma for brightness. This has given me excellent color rendition in any book, card or calendar that I've ordered.
    You might try printing one also to see if it gets what you expect.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • How to reduce purple color cast in high ISO Nikon D4 and D810 photos

    In low-light photos taken with my D4 and D810 I often (but not always) get a severe purple color cast in the dark areas of the photo. I'm going to try posting a link to an example of one such photo, which I've put in my Dropbox account. I hope this works:
    Dropbox - Example of magenta color cast-001.jpg
    If the link works, you'll see what I mean: the dark areas are purple, not black as they should be. This was taken at the dress rehearsal for a play at ISO 3200, about the lowest ISO that I could get away with. The purple cast seems more pronounced along the edges of the photo.
    I've read a bit about "amp glow"; is that what I'm seeing here? If it is, what can I do about it? Turning the camera off and on again and again to try to cool the sensor and the nearby electronics isn't much of an option.
    And whether it's "amp glow" or something else, is there a good way to deal with it in Lightroom? I've had some success with reducing the purple saturation (and sometimes the purple luminance as well) in the "HSL" panel, but that becomes a problem if there are important elements in the photo which are SUPPOSED to be purple.
    Any and all advice would be welcome.

    dorffersmatt wrote:
    Interestingly, my e-mail says there was another post about how to reduce the purple cast with proper in-camera settings, but now that post seems to have been deleted (by the poster? by somebody at Adobe?)
    The poster (Drugstore) may have deleted the post after reading further because it may not have been relevant......just a guess. If you're shooting raw format the in-camera settings such as white balance are not applied to the image file, but they are for JPEGs. The suggestions I provided are applicable to both JPEG and raw image files, but you'll get the best results using raw format.
    dorffersmatt wrote:
    1) You said that you sometimes see the purple cast with your D4 and D810 if the white balance isn't set properly. What would you consider a proper white balance setting for a situation such as this one? It was the dress rehearsal for a play, with constantly shifting lighting. I just left the white balance on "Auto"; how would you have approached the situation?
    Again, this only applies to JPEG format image files. For raw image files the WB EXIF data is read and set accordingly inside LR. For JPEGs the image data has the (incorrect?) WB applied in-camera, which compromises the dynamic range of the JPEG 8-bit/color data. Raw files are 16 bit/color.
    dorffersmatt wrote:
    2) You said that you also sometimes see it if "you activate the lens correction in LR while in raw mode and exposure is too low." Could you elaborate on that? Do you mean that I shouldn't use "Enable profile corrections" in the "Lens Corrections" panel?
    I'm guessing this refers to what you call "amp glow" (amplifier glow). It usually appears as a higher exposure level around the edge of the image and may be confined to one area (top, bottom, sides). By turning off Lens Profile corrections ( "Enable profile corrections") Vignetting correction is not applied, which reduces the exposure level in the corners and frame edges. Some cameras automatically apply distortion and/or vignetting correction in-camera when shooting in JPEG format. Again, this is just another reason why you want to use raw format to get the best results inside LR.

  • 2.1.2, previews with color cast

    After updating, previews are generated with a heavy color cast, some green, red and yellow casts. White balance and tint are all wrong, what's amazing is that a few of them are fine which have the same shooting settings as the wrong ones, going back to 2.1.1, real weird, anyone with similar situation? any fix?

  • How to remove cool/Blue color cast in pictures

    I had incurrect setting when taking  some pictures, which turned the pictures blue. Is there a way to correct this in Elements 9?
    Message title was edited by: Brett N

    The 'color cast' correction I mentionned above is really the simplest, 'one click' tool in Elements, but there are other ways.
    My favourite one is to open the photo (even jpegs) in ACR. Then you have the same interface than with raw file, and the temperature and tint sliders.
    The advantage is that once you have corrected one picture (also a one click sampling of neutral white/gray), the settings can be used for the next picture. You can correct a batch of images rapidly.
    Edit:
    To open a jpeg in ACR, use 'Open As' instead of 'Open' in the editor. On the bottom line for the file format, select the 3rd option 'Camera raw...' not the first 'Photoshop raw'.

  • Color cast removal

    I am scanning old family photos. I prefer not to do any post-processing in the scanning software, but I really like how SilverFast AI has an "Auto Color Cast Removal" function.

  • Color Cast

    The LCD Touch Screen on my W512 has a rather bad color cast. For instance if you look a bit form the side or from above the color changes quite dramatically. One example is the area of a windows between the scroll bar and the very edge of the window. Looking from above this area turns red if the 'correct' color looking from the front is white, yellow if the 'correct' color looking from the front is blue, etc. Looking from the side does not change the color much in this case. However, white areas looking from the side turn redish. Unfortunately, it is not just limited to looking at the screen from the side/top. In some applications, i.e. Adobe Reader and others, text has green and red shadows around them. I did not have that on any other laptop from other brands. Is that a defect, a 'property' of the touch screen LCD, or something else?

    Good luck! The white point tool is pretty much broken.

  • Color Cast Strips in a Scanned Negative

    I have scanned negatives that show a couple of subtle color cast stripes.  In corrected space these show up as yellow, but in negative space they are only in the blue channel.  The stripes seem to be on the negative and not a scanner artifact.
    Can photoshop mask for these areas and correct the color ?

    Some cross-posting here while I typed up mine (I didn't see Trevor's posts), but I didn't have time to comment further.
    Yes, scanned negatives can be a nightmare. I would never attempt to batch that, I just do the most important ones individually and put the rest back in storage. It's just too much work. However:
    If you have many negatives taken at the same time that show these color bands, you can use the same adjustment layer(s) on all of them. The adjustment layer can simply be dragged from the layers panel over to the next photo; or you can make a preset. If it's a single roll of film you may not even have to redo the mask.
    Another advantage of "painting in" the adjustment is that if you overdo it you can press X and paint back very easily. The example you posted took only a couple of minutes, with two layers - one plus blue to kill the yellow, and then one minus blue for the excess blue on the right.

  • Strong red color cast over some images, solved

    Hi,
    This issue was driving me nuts recently, but having just found the solution I thought I'd share in case anyone else runs into the same issue.
    From one day to the next, my Mac (late 2013 MBP retina, Mavericks) suddenly started to display some (not all) images with a red semitransparent overlay.
    This would occur most often in Apple applications like Finder, Preview, Safari, Mail etc.
    In the Finder's icon view with a folder full of images, some thumbnails would have the color overlay, some others wouldn't. When resizing the thumbnails the overlay would flicker on and off on various images randomly.
    Affected images would also print with the same color cast on a color printer.
    The Solution
    After a lot of trial and error I found that the issue was caused by a custom libpng library, installed by Homebrew (http://brew.sh).
    It was probably installed much earlier than this this issue started, maybe the library was updated that day, or something in OSX was updated triggering an incaompatibility leading to this issue.
    I'm not sure why I installed this library in the first place, most likely as a dependency needed by another recipe I since uninstalled. I could uninstall it without issues.
    Caveat: to fully uninstall a recipe, use:
         brew uninstall <recipe> --force
    in my case I did:
         brew uninstall libpng --force
    Otherwise Homebrew will reinstall the library the next time you upgrade your brew installation (which is most likely what happened in my case).
    Hope this helps at least someone.

    Hi, Chan
    Thanks for the explanation of this subject. Anyway ... there are quite a number of possibilities that something is clipped during whole process. First, some channels can be clipped off at the sensor level, than after matrix conversion to RIMM, than if EV slider is used (and even if it isn't, because there is baseline exposure value)  ... or Saturation slider ... then after correction using LUT ... and finally during conversion to sRGB / AdobeRGB / whatever ... maybe some sort of soft clipping at some of these points would be better (just my opinion)
    However, there is another highlight issue I noticed, illustrated with these two samples (Canon 400D, ACR 5.7, windows platform)
    http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4KEEDQW9
    Left picture has all default settings. On the right picture, everything is the same, except that I made a small patch with adjustment brush tool at the top left corner (far from the center of the picture) and changed exposure value of the adjustment brush to a nonzero value (other adjustment brush sliders don't produce similar strange effect). Appearance of the area of the Sun changes abruptly and looks strange. Test with my HSV image from previous post shows that all colors are affected (not only yellow)
    Also, there is a similar abrupt change in the highlight behavior if I lower the global EV slider from -0.25 to -0.30 (0.25 is baseline exposure value for this camera), or if I raise Recovery slider from 6 to 7 (which seems to have similar effect). I think these two issues are unrelated to clipping in sensor color space vs. RIMM
    Thanks
