Pictures look different when imported

For some reason when I import pictures into iphoto they look a little darker/warmer and not as crisp. Has anyone seen this before? Is there anyway to correct this issue?
Thank you,

Sounds like the pics are not color managed, or differently color managed from iPhoto. Where are these pics from?

  • Exported pictures look different when uploaded to websites.

    I noticed that exported pictures from Lightroom  uploaded to Facebook or Shutterfly look different that when viewing the same exported pictures on my pc. Why is that?  The exported pictures were not adjusted, maybe only cropped and red eyes were removed. Yet the colors appear different when viewing the same pictures on Facebook or in Shutterfly.  If I upload exact the same picture directly from my picture folder, the colors look different. I wonder why this is happening.

    Export as sRGB will always help; however most browsers are not colour managed so the colour reproduction can vary anyway even when using sRGB. Only Safari is fully managed, Firefox works up to a point (it only uses icc v2 profiles, not v4 it will be OK with LR as LR presently exports to the v2 version of sRGB) or browsers don't honour profiles at all. Calibrating your monitor is also an important factor here and a hardwear device is required to do this correctly.
    How an image looks in non colour managed applications cannot be a basis for jusdging an image so only fully colour managed applications (such as LR or PS) should ever be used for processing.

  • PICTURES ARE FUZZY WHEN IMPORTED TO DVD DISC

    I'm new to creating dvds.  Pictures are fuzzy when imported to dvd disc ( memorex DVD-R).  What am i doing wrong?

    Hi
    Hard to say as You don't suply any info on
    • What photo file format, size You use
    • How You go from photo to iDVD
    And ! - Please do not Yell ! - Capitalized letters = Yelling in most forums and here a low and polite conversation most often will get better and more rapid results.
    Some thoughts about DVD Quality
    • DVD can only be SD-Video what ever tool used to encode it. And that is much less than what Your Mac screen can show.
    • Tools used to create the SlideShow - give a very different (quality) result
    iMovie'08 to 11 - discard every second line = less resolution
    iMovie HD6 and FinalCut - full interlaced video over to iDVD (as good as it can be)
    FotoMagico™ _ Great and even more so if result is burned as a Blu-Ray Disk
    Some notes follows - if You are of interest.
    DVD quality
    1. iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1)
       iDVD 6 has the two last ones
    • Professional Quality (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST
    • Best Performances (movies + menus  less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD
    • High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6) (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
    About double on DL DVDs.
    2. Video from
    • FCE/P - Export out as full quality QuickTime.mov (not self-containing, no conversion)
    • iMovie x-6 - Don't use ”Share/Export to iDVD” = destructive even to movie project and especially so
    when the movie includes photos. Instead just drop or import the iMovie movie project icon (with a Star on it) into iDVD theme window.
    • iMovie’08 not meant to go to iDVD. Go via Media Browser or rather use iMovie HD 6 from start.
    3. I use Roxio Toast™ to make an as slow burn as possibly eg x1 (in iDVD’08 or 09  this can also be set)
    This can also be done with Apple’s Disk Utilities application.
    4. There has to be about or more than 25Gb free space on internal (start-up) hard disk. iDVD can't
    use an external one as scratch disk (if it is not start-up disc).
    5. I use Verbatim ( also recommended by many - Taiyo Yuden DVDs - I can’t get hold of it to test )
    6. I use DVD-R (no +R or +/-RW)
    7. Keep NTSC to NTSC - or - PAL to PAL when going from iMovie to iDVD
    8. Don’t burn more than three DVD at a time - but let the laser cool off for a while before next batch.
    iDVD quality also depends on.
    • DVD is a standard in it self. It is Standard Definition Quality = Same as on old CRT-TV sets and can not
    deliver anything better that this.
    HD-DVD was a short-lived standard and it was only a few Toshiba DVD-players that could playback.
    These DVDs could be made in DVD-Studio Pro. But they don’t playback on any other standard DVD-layer.
    Blu-Ray / BD can be coded onto DVDs but limited in time to - about 20-30 minutes and then need
    _ Roxio Toast™ 10 Pro incl. BD-component
    _ BD disks and burner if full length movies are to be stored
    _ BD-Player or PlayStation3 - to be able to playback
    The BD-encoded DVDs can be play-backed IF Mac also have Roxio DVD-player tool. Not on any standard Mac or DVD-player
    Full BD-disks needs a BD-player (in Mac) as they need blue-laser to be read. No red-laser can do this.
    • HOW much free space is there on Your internal (start-up) hard disk. Go for approx. 25Gb.
    less than 5Gb and Your result will most probably not play.
    • How it was recorded - Tripod vs Handheld Camera. A stable picture will give a much higher quality
    • Audio is most often more critical than picture. Bad audio and with dropouts usually results in a non-viewed movie.
    • Use of Video-editor. iMovie’08 or 09 or 11 are not the tools for DVD-production. They discard every second line resulting in a close to VHS-tape quality.
    iMovie 1 to HD6 and FinalCut any version delivers same quality as Camera record in = 100% to iDVD
    • What kind of movie project You drop into it. MPEG4 seems to be a bad choice.
    other strange formats are .avi, .wmv, .flash etc. Convert to streamingDV first
    Also audio formats matters. I use only .aiff or from miniDV tape Camera 16-bit
    strange formats often problematic are .avi, .wmv, audio from iTunes, .mp3 etc
    Convert to .aiff first and use this in movie project
    • What kind of standard - NTSC movie and NTSC DVD or PAL to PAL - no mix.
    (If You need to change to do a NTSC DVD from PAL material let JES_Deinterlacer_3.2.2 do the conversion)
    (Dropping a PAL movie into a NTSC iDVD project
    (US) NTSC DVDs most often are playable in EU
    (EU) PAL DVDs most often needs to be converted to play in US
    UNLESS. They are play-backed by a Mac - then You need not to care
    • What kind of DVDs You are using. I use Verbatim DVD-R (this brand AND no +R or +/-RW)
    • How You encode and burn it. Two settings prior iDVD’08 or 09
    Pro Quality (only in iDVD 08 & 09)
    Best / High Quality (not always - most often not)
    Best / High Performances (most often my choice before Pro Quality)

  • Photos in Develop module look different when switching to library module

    Hello everyone this is my first post on adobe.  I ran into a problem today for the first time using lightroom 5.  I recently purchased lightroom 5 about 2 weeks ago and have been in love using it.  I have ran into 0 problems until today.  I uploaded some new photos and was going through them under the develop module editing the photos and what not.  When I am done editing I usually go to the library module and export them.
    Today I tried to do that exact thing and ran into this issue:  the colors in the photo are changing ever so slightly when I switch to the library module and are not exporting exactly as I edited them in the develop module. 
    I have tried changing the contrast/clarity to see if it would remain when switching and it does.  But for some reason the yellow on the flower in the picture becomes less vibrant when seen/exported from library module.  It is very frustrating because I spend alot of time editing the photo in a develop module and every transfers but the colors it seems.  It becomes more dull and less vibrant.
    It is not the photo itself.  I think it is something wrong with my lightroom?  I uninstalled and reinstalled and the same issue keeps happening.

    Just to clarify. When you compare the exported image to the original inside LR do they look the same when viewed together in the Library module, and how about when both are viewed in the Develop module? Are you using a wide gamut monitor and do you also use a hardware monitor calibrator? All of these things affect how images looks in LR and some are fixable, but others are not as Web Weaver posted.
    There is also another issue that can cause the Library module view and exported images to look different than they do in the Develop module:
    http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/afm8rbh6tnc31
    The solution is to view the image at 1:1 (100%) view size. You can also use more conservative Sharpening settings (i.e. lower) and more aggressive Luminance Noise Reduction settings (i.e. higher), which will significantly decrease the view difference.

  • Why do my raws look different when I view them in Adobe Bridge/Adobe Camera Raw and Canons Digital P

    Hello all,
    I am sorta new to taking Raw photographs and I have been been using Adobe Bridge/Camera Raw to edit. When I take my photos (I am using a Canon t2i) I have it set to save a raw and a jpg. When I view these images in Adobe Bridge/Camera Raw I notice a clear difference in the jpg and raw (I understand the whole concept behind raw vs. jpg. so im not questioning why one looks different) It is obvious all the adjustments that were applied to my jpg. vs the natural raw.  My question is: When I view the same two images in the software that came with my camera, canon digital photo professionals, the canon and raw look almost identical.... My assumption is that canon is applying the same "adjustments" to my raw as it did to the jpgs?  Has anyone used these two programs and noticed this?
    Thank you in advance for your assistance.
    Michelle

    Can't say I'm an expert on DPP myself either.  I've only run it a few times myself.
    If you're seeing Photoshop freeze just by looking at the File Info tab, that's certainly not expected and you should start a tread specifically to discuss that.  The forum may be able to help you get that working.
    I happen to like the color my camera delivers in its embedded JPEGs (which I use to quickly review shots via IrfanView).  Starting with that color in Camera Raw by default just feels very natural and integrated.
    Without a specific custom profile to help you with the task, here's my suggestions for the next best thing:
    1.  Take an image with a range of different colors in it.
    2.  Open the embedded JPEG also using whatever means you have to do so.
    3.  Open it also in Camera Raw and make sure you're using the Camera Raw default parameters.
    4.  Go into the Camera Calibration tab (little camera icon), and choose the Camera Standard profile as provided by Adobe.
    5.  Tweak the various sliders so as to match the color between what you're seeing in the JPEG and Camera Raw.
    6.  Save new Camera Raw defaults.
    Some notes:
    Make sure you leave the White Balance on As Shot, since storing a specific white balance is probably not going to be helpful.
    Test your settings and repeat the above to tweak them as needed using other images.
    Keep in mind that not every application does proper color-management.  IrfanView can be set up to do so, and I don't recall whether you have to tweak a default setting to make it do that or not (it's been a while).
    Hope this helps!

  • HT201302 Why do my pictures sync sideways when importing into my computer

    When Importing my Pictures to my PC why do they come in sideways.

    Because the software you're using to view the pictures on the PC is not reading the file/metadata information on the picture to put it in proper orientation.

  • Loosing D300 Picture Control settings when importing RAW files into CS3!!

    Hi there...I would really appreciate some help!!
    I have recently bought a D300/Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 which I love, however, I'm getting increasingly frustrated by either my lack of knowledge or some form of compatibility issue between the D300 and CS3!!
    When importing I am loosing all the RAW Picture Control settings!! - e.g. If I shoot using Picture Control "Monochrome" CS3 rips out all of the settings and returns the RAW image back to the default camera settings!! It doesn't seem to be the D300 as Picture Control settings are retained when viewing the RAW images on the camera's screen.
    Camera: D300/firmware - default install
    Computer: MacBook Pro Intel 2.4Ghz/2Gb RAM | Operating System: OS X 10.5.4 (9E17) | Software: Abobe CS3 with CameraRAW 4.4.1 plugin (also tried beta 4.5 but to no avail!!)
    Thanks in advance!!

    I am trying to open a NEF file (RAW format) from my card with PhotoShop CS3 and it does not work. These photos were taken with a Nikon D300. A window appears and the message read as follows:
    "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document"
    Could someone help me?
    I have searched the online material and I have not found a solution as of yet.
    I have no issues opening JPEGs taken with a D300 and I can open NEF files that were taken with a Nikon D200...
    I appreciate your help.

  • Pictures look fuzzy when playing in timeline and even after export.

    This is a major headache for me.
    I have brought high resolution photos into FCP 7 and they look great when scaled down when I pause or scrub the video in my timeline. When I play my video in the timeline or after an export, it looks fuzzy or pixelated.
    I was given the suggestion to mess with interlacing, change the photos to 72dpi before importing to FCP, and other suggestions. Changing the dpi didn't seem to make any difference. Is this a render issue? I've been checking the render setting but haven't had any luck.
    Any suggestions?
    I'm not great at determining what my settings should be at for FCP on my MacBook Pro. I have been messing with the settings so much in the past few days trying to fix my fuzzy/pixelated photos problem, and I now am having a difficult time trying to remember what everything was originally set at.
    Help!

    I am using QT 7.6.4 as I'm still hanging back on Leopard - not Snow Leopard.
    If you look in your "Utilities" folder you might a copy of QT (non-X) in that folder. If not there already, it's an "additional install" on the OS DVD I think.
    from here: (Oddly, the corresponding Apple Support page was down. This is Apple's info really...somone else has copied/pasted)
    1. Insert your Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Install DVD.
    2. Open the "Optional Installs folder" and double-click "Optional Installs.mpkg".
    3. Select the QuickTime 7 option and click Continue.
    4. QuickTime Player 7 will be installed in your Utilities folder.
    If you have QuickTime 7 installed, Snow Leopard handles the division of labor for you, using QuickTime X when it can and QuickTime 7 when it needs to.
    If you don't already have QuickTime 7 installed, then the first time you try to do something that requires it -- such as play a video that needs a non-standard codec, for example -- Snow Leopard will ask if you want to install it.

  • EPS/AI files look jagged when importing/rasterizing

    When importing an EPS or AI file and then rasterizing it (doesn’t matter what resolution) the image looks very jagged/pixilated… even and 600res - a lot mort than it should – or should I say used to when I imported. Did I accidentally mess with the settings? Anyone experience this?

  • Image looks quite different when imported from camera to Lightroom

    Hi there,
    I am hoping that there is someone out there that might be able to help me with a problem I have.
    I took a number of photos yesterday and I uploaded them to lightroom. The photos looked properly exposed with a nice color on the camera LCD screen. When I imported and then opened these photos in Lightroom, I noticed that the photos were underexposed with an orange cast on skintones.  The photos were not very nice at all, and I played with levels etc, but could not get the same look I saw on the LCD.
    I shot in JPG Fine, colour profile in camera is Adobe RGB (1998). imac monitor is calibrated.
    Has anyone experienced this or know how I might be able to correct the image to look more like what I am seeing on the LCD when I am shooting?
    Any help greatly appreciated - Thanks!
    Donna

    Since you are shooting jpeg, it is not the profile issue, so there are a small list of causes left.
    1. The camera LCD is lying to you. This is very possible, but most cameras have a display that, while not trustworthy absolutely, at least renders skintones sort of OK. You can test this by posting one of your originals (so NOT the lightroom edited versions) somewhere for us to see. We can check if the skintones are normal.
    2. The calibration is bad. Sometimes calibration hardware is simply defective and you will get bad results no matter what. To check this, use a color managed browser (Safari since you have a Mac is fine) and check out this page. The top image should look OK (normal skintones) no matter if you roll over your mouse or not.
    3. If it is not 1 or 2, Lightroom is applying either auto-tone or some camera defaults to your images or you are applying a develop preset upon import. Check this by opening the original directly in preview and comparing to the version in Lightroom. If this is the case, go to your Lightroom preferences, hit the Presets Tab. Uncheck "Apply auto tone adjustments". Then click on "reset all default Develop settings". Now go back to your images and "reset" their develop settings, which is easy to do in the quick develop panel you get in Library. Also, next time you import, make sure you do not have any presets selected.

  • Why do my pictures look different on my Nikon camera than they do in Lightroom 4

    I am having trouble! I don't know if it's lightroom 4 or what's going on but the pictures that I take with my Nikon D300s look so much better in my camera than they do on my computer. When I import them into lightroom 4, it almost looks like the white balance and exposure changes. I always import them with 'none' selected for develop settings and metadata but i don't know if there's another option I can change to fix this. I've tried everything. Please help!

  • Camera connected and controllable, but no picture in monitor when importing

    I have a Sony DCR-TRV17E connected through firewire port on my powerbook, and I CAN control the camera using the capture controls, but no picture (or audio) appears in the iMovie monitor. Likewise when I click on import, either for a magicmovie or normal.

    Hi Ashley & Art et. al
    May be time for my faulth finding list:
    Mac:
    - hardware
    ◊ Slow hard disk (fragmented: repair permissions, repair hard disk, use a faster hard disk)
    ◊ Disconnect all other ext devices (FW and USB) exept Camera (and keyboard + mouse) and try again
    ◊ Reset PRAM
    ◊ Bad RAM-chips
    ◊ disconnect Mac from powerline (not just switch off, really plug out) for a few minutes to reset FW ports
    - software
    ◊ File-Vault is on - turn it off
    ◊ Something is occupying the CPU/System, like other programs, Internet etc.
    ◊ Do You have desktop pictures or screen or energy-savers active? Try turning them off.
    ◊ Updating - OS has to be a clean install - not an update eg from X.3.x to X.4.x (no good) OS X.4.0-5 needs a clean install to work (I use X.3.9)
    ◊ Updating QT and/or other updates (to 7 needs v6 to be cleaned out first) QT v.7.0.0-4 needs a clean install to work (I use 6.5.2)
    ◊ Have you tried the crazy fix: Open GarageBand, play a few notes, close it and reopen iMovie. The camera should import fine now. Sue/SDillini
    ◊ Running iDVD at the same time as iMovie can cause problems: (Lennart Thelander)
    ◊ If You also have installed FinalCut Express/pro there are possibly problems with this
    iMovie:
    ◊ remove bookmarks in iMovie project
    ◊ Trash: com.apple.iMovie.plist and com.apple.iMovie3.plist : files (Xinram)
    Connection:
    ◊ don’t Daisy chain Camcorder <--> external hard disk <--> Mac
    ◊ FW-wire cable, is it OK?
    ◊ USB/USB2 is NO GO !
    Camera:
    ◊ The Camera is set to VTR ? (not as when You ”film” record with it)
    ◊ You may be need to go to the Camera menu and select digital out.
    ◊ defective camera TRY IT ON ANOTHER MAC ! (if the A/D chip in the camera is harmed then it will say in iMovie that the camera is connected and You can forward rep. backward the tape but there will be no picture or sound just the blue screen.
    ◊ Cheque the menu on Your Camera so that it communicates with the FW digitally to Your Mac
    ◊ Date and Time is correct on Your Camera ?
    Tape:
    ◊ Drop outs on the miniDV-tape - make a camera to camera copy on a tape which You have previous recorded with a time code (dummy recording).
    ◊ Break in the time-code on the miniDV tape (make a camera to camera copy on a tape which is pre-recorded with nothing/anything so that the tape has a time-code from beginning to the end)
    ◊ If You recorded in LP-mode (90 min on a standard 60 min tape with 12-bit sound). Try to change in iMovie pref. to import but not as individual clips. If this doesn’t work You have to make a Camera to Camera copy with the receiving Camera set to SP-mode and 16-bit sound.

  • Pictures changing contrast when imported to final cut

    Hi everyone,
    I am currently shooting a commercial for a local restaurant. Iinclude video along with pictures in the commercial. Only problem that i amrunning into is when i import the pictures into my timeline the picturescontrast gets all messed.. Basically the blacks get way to black and the whitesget over exposed.
    Any ideas what may be causing this?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    The way that I am aware of is to use an image editing application like Photoshop.
    Open in the image in Photoshop, go to the menu Image > Mode and choose RGB color. Save the converted picture and import into FCP.
    If you don't have Photoshop, I have seen the application Graphic Converter praised by a number of people, it has a free trial download:
    http://www.lemkesoft.com/content/193/key-features.html
    or you could Google around and see if there is something out there that will work for you.
    Or, you could ask the person that suppled the images to provide them in the RGB format. CMYK is used for print, FCP works in the RGB color space and expects images to be RGB.
