Previews in LR 1.0 look different after exporting to 'file'.

Hello everyone, I'm new to LR and somewhat new to PS (PS CS3). I'm starting to shoot mainly in NEF but have many more jpgs on file. While editing jpg's in LR for a Quinceanera (shoot w/ D200,JPEG,sRGB working in Win XP) I've had to, on occasion, finish editing in PS CS3 (blemish removal, USM in Lab, Gaussian Blur, etc.) after saving as a PSD and returning to LR and then 'export' the file back to jpg in a different folder (on Desktop) for easy finding I notice a 'change' in appearance in additional previews that I click on (back in LR) ONLY in the Develop Module! In Explorer and also the 'final' folder on the Desktop all images look the same (good). As I move my mouse over thumbnails in the Filmstrip they look fine in the Navigator preview but when I select one, it also looks fine as it is 'loading' but quickly 'shifts' to dull, bland when finished (again only in Develop Module). I've read a TechNote from Adobe stating ~'... the Library and Develop Modules use different color profiles...'?? in Preferences (LR) I have selected <PSD,ProPhoto RGB, and 16/bit> and in Color Settings... (PS CS3) I have a Working space as (RGB) - ProPhoto RGB and in Color Management Policies have RGB set to Off. My long winded question is this: I this normal and/or should I set my Preferences to sRGB (in LR for PS CS3)? Anybody have the same issues? P.S. I've had to close LR and then restart LR to have this 'problem' go away (no shifting in Develop). Thanks

Big A, Thanks for replying. Just to let you know, I went into Preferences (LR) and changed my settings: PSD, sRGB, and 8/bit and also changed PS CS3 Color Settings... :RGB-Working Space to sRGB and left RGB-Color Management Policies to Off (w/ Profile Mismatches: checked for Ask When Opening) just to help remind me when I'm working w/ RAW files.
Seems to have settled the issue of different 'views' from Library to Develop Modules. Anyways it seems to make sense seeing how Ps and Lr are supposed to work together 'behind the scenes'. There must be an order of things concerning profiles/spaces (what is effective in one app stays effect in the other or maybe LR have 'authority' over Ps due to its 'design'?? Thanks for the help Antonio

Trouble with photos looking different after exporting to LR5

I am new to lightroom 5. My photos do not look the same after exporting to CD or to a photo lab for printing. I am exporting to my hard drive before burning to CD. Can someone help? I am starting with RAW or CR2 files before editing.

What export settings are you using. For jpegs I always choose color space as sRGB (unless the printer requests Argb) and then I set print size, with resolution between 240 and 300 ppi. For glossy paper I choose a high sharpening setting.
It’s also possible to print a whole batch to jpeg files using the Print Module (see image below). You can then set an output value for brightening and contrast.
This can be useful as many people using uncalibrated monitors often find prints look darker than shown on their PC. When using for the first time it’s well worthwhile doing a test batch using different settings to see which gives you the best results.

Help with exporting. Video looks horrible after export, but great when in premiere pro

Hey guys, looking for some advice on exporting.
When I finish a video, the color and everything looks great while in premiere pro, but after exporting it, the color ends up looking dull and the whole video looks blurry. I'm filming with a canon vixia hf200 at 60i. It imports as a AVCHD file, I deinterlace it, and then export at the Vimeo HD settings. What can be causing the video to look horrible after exporting? What settings should I be exporting under? Any help would be appreciated!

It looks like you're coming up against some of the colorspace handling issues that the Premiere pipeline has.
Since your source is 60i AVCHD it's HD and thus rec709 colorspace. If it gets encoded with the standard rec601 colorspace (SD sizes are this) then all the colors get crushed. Look for a "709" and "601" radio button in your export settings. If it's not there you're out of luck.
The "blurry" is probably a poor quality de-interlacer. If Vimeo permits interlaced vs progressive do that instead. it's always cleaner to stay in the same video format all the way through.
TECHNICAL ASIDE:
rec709 is a triangle of possible colors that can be expressed by mixing of ratios of 3 emitters (the R G B corners of the triangle). (they are the RGB phosphors of a CRT and now LCD pixel elements)
rec709 is a bigger triangle than rec601 so it's capable of more colors. but if you accidently map that triangle's corners to the coordinates of rec601 it gets crushed.
In photography the "sRGB" uses the rec709 triangle. A bigger triangle that that is "Adobe RGB". So if you work in Adobe RGB and export to sRGB without conversion the colors get crushed because sRGB in inside the triangle of "Adobe RGB".

Why do certain clips (photos), viewed in preview, on Adobe Premiere 11 look different on YouTube?

Hi folks,
I've posted, via Adobe Premiere 11, two different music videos on YouTube and on my Facebook page. The first one, "Back In The Day", looks the same on YouTube (and Facebook) as it did when I viewed it (previewed it) on Premiere 11. But the second video, "Wicked World", that I posted on those internet sites, has certain clips (photos) that look different than what's seen on Premiere 11.
With "Wicked World", it almost looks like certain Panned & Zoomed photos are bigger in size than what the YouTube screen can show?
I used Pan & Zoom on some photos in both videos. But maybe with "Wicked World", I always set the "Hold" times to zero (0) when using Pan & Zoom on some photos. Or could it have something to do with the Track Size on the "Wicked World" Premiere 11 video? BTW, I see that by right clicking in an empty part of the track, the Track Size choices come up as small, medium or large.
Or is it something about upload choices on YouTube? Two different friends helped me with uploads to YouTube for each video, so maybe the first one, "Back In The Day", looks OK because that friend chose proper upload choices?
If you have time, or the inclination to see the difference for yourself, you can go on YouTube and type in on the search bar, "Wicked World Bob Fuchs". You'll see both a head shot of me playing harmonica for one YouTube choice, and a painting of Van Gogh as another way to get to the "Wicked World" problem video, and the "Back In The Day" good video.
Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated. Once I find out why "Wicked World" photos slide partly off the YouTube screen, I will delete it from YouTube and replace it with an issue free one.
I just want to learn what caused that, hopefully, so I can avoid that problem going forward.
Thanks!

A.T.please note:
After sending you a previous email reply to your latest response, I am forwarding a new thought.
I just tried out something you had suggested. I think it may solve the issue I have with the panned & zoomed photos on my "Wicked World" video - the ones that look weird when I view the video on YouTube (and Facebook).
So, in case you also think the following may be the answer, I will now copy and paste relevant parts of my previous email, PLUS include my new thoughts - in order not to waste your valuable time looking into an answer I may already have.
Here goes:
The Premiere 11 Edit area monitor Magnification had already been set to "Fit".
In Edit Menu Preferences General, I already had a check mark on "Default Scale to Frame Size".
The properties of the first file (a Title screen) that I dragged into the Timeline are 1920 Horizontal, 1080 Vertical. But properties of subsequent photos, some of which I panned and zoomed, are mostly only around 648x599.
Upon viewing my "Wicked World" video carefully on YouTube, I see that what actually happens is that the box-like area where my video is shown (probably the same size of my Premiere 11 screen edit area?) is smaller than the YouTube's screen viewing area. That does not bother me. However, when the panned and zoomed photos occur, my smaller box area, within the YouTube screen, itself moves along with the panned & zoomed movement of the photos! That inner box moves slightly vertically, either up or down, and to lower right or left, depending on which direction the pan and zoom of each photo is going. And an empty border around the video area hangs there, within the YouTube viewing area.
So ... as you talked about, I tried something: I replaced an existing panned & zoomed photo (clip) in the Timeline with the same photo, and then I clicked on "Scale to Frame Size". The photo got bigger. I then did a new pan and zoom on it, and reduced the duration of how long that photo clip plays. Therefore, although the pan and zoom happens faster, it cues to the proper places in the music (audio) track. And I'm guessing that the larger "Scale to Frame Size" on that photo will now show properly in the YouTube viewing area, without the smaller inner box area moving too, along with the panned and zoomed photo?
I have only done this on one of my previously panned and zoomed photos in the video. But if you think this may solve the viewing issue on YouTube, that I described above, then I'll do the same with all the previously panned and zoomed photos in my video, and save it as a new version on Premiere 11.
I guess I'd then try and delete the existing "Wicked World" video from YouTube, and replace it with the new, hopefully issue-free version.
What do you think? Should I try this, and then replace the old one on YouTube?
Best Regards,Bob [email protected]

WEBI report present different in exported excel file

Hello expert,
I create a line chart in webi, and I create a table block to cover the x axies label for the line chart. this presentation looks perfect in WEBI report, but when I export it into excel file, the x axies labels for the line chart showed up with that table block moved down a little bit. how can I present WEBI in the same way in the exported excel file?

Hi,
If your requirement is to hide labels or X Axis values from the chart ..You can do this directly unchecked the check box for values or labels from the X Axis properties.
For to adjust the table block and line chart right click on the Cell go to Align ->Relative Position and in the bottom section adjust the height from the particular block.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks,
Amit

Xy graph look different after Stop

Hi,
my xy graph looks in the .jpg and after stopping the program different...
check atachment...
I probably need some prooperty nodes... but I cannot figure is out, which one..
thanks

I've never seen a change in the graphs as a sole result of stopping a VI.
How do you stop the VI? (abort button, normal via a stop button, etc.)
Is there any extra code that executes at the end?
Is you graph axis set to "loose fit"?
What is your LabVIEW version? Do you have a simple VI that demonstrates the problem. Please attach it.
(And what's up with that attachment. You have a word document containing images of your VI front panel embedded in an excel sheet. Very convoluted. )

Buttons in JToolbar look different after switching from java 1.4 to 1.5

Hi *,
after we've switched from jdk1.4 to the current 1.5 version, the buttons in the JToolbars of my gui application look a little bit different. Under 1.4 they look quadratic, under 1.5 they gained width. As well the spaces between the buttons increased noticable.
What's the problem? What can I do to fix it?
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
Best regards,

Java 1.5 updated some look and feels. That is probably what is causing the difference.

Fonts look different after upgrade

The words look smaller now and less bolded. Changes have appeared in both firefox, acroread, the login page, xchm and others which I have not tried.

even after adding nomodeset into menu.lst, I still get the same font with the login screen, firefox, etc.

Raw files look different after opening them in CC

You have a broken display profile. The conversion from source profile to display profile should end up with the same result in each, but since the source is different it can happen that one app chokes and the other not.
The choice of working space in Photoshop has no bearing on this, unless you've done something silly like setting Photoshop's color management to "off". Whatever profile comes out of ACR should be honored by Photoshop. They do not have to be the same.
Recalibrate, or if you don't have a calibrator set sRGB IEC61966-2.1 as default display profile in Windows color management. Relaunch Photoshop so that it can pick up the new profile at startup.

Why are my edited jpegs different after export?

I have a really strange problem that I can't seem to find the answer to anywhere else on the web
It's kind of difficult to understand but I will explain as best I can. So my friend and I have just started a photography business and things are going great. I use a Canon Rebel T3i with either a standard, portrait or telephoto lens. I use Lightroom 5 and after I finish editing my photos, I export them and they look lovely in my folder (I have an Asus laptop and Windows 8 if that helps) however when I upload them to websites like Pixieset or Facebook, the quality of the photo looks nothing like the quality I had edited as. The effects, presets and any other adjustments made to my exported photo become extremely dull and it was like the edit was never done. Even at the highest quality, my photos still look nothing like I edited them!
And what's weirder? My friend uses the exact same program, has the exact same OS and also uses Facebook and Pixieset, along with very similar presets effects etc. and her photos look exactly like they have been edited. I don't understand what's up with that!!! And of course just my luck I am unable to insert a screen capture to show you bc it is for some reason not working. But my export settings are JPEG, sRGB, he quality is 100% and the res is 300 ppi and all photos are very cool toned and dull. I have tried different resolutions, different qualities and even different image formats and every single time I still had the exact same problem Very frustrating!! please offer any advice you can, I have tried everything!
Thank you in advance!

I also have an ASUS laptop running Windows-8 (13") but I only use the laptop for offloading memory cards while on the road so I will need to figure a way to test this to see if it is something in the OS, the ASUS hardware or whatever. I will be heading off for the weekend so I won't be able to do this until next week but the problem is intriguing.
You said you did "another screen calibration"; was this done with hardware/software using a calorimeter or done visually using software? I am assuming you used hardware but wanted to be sure. Also, are you starting with a RAW image, doing your edits and then exporting the RAW image as a JPEG or did you start with a JPEG? In theory, it shouldn't matter but Lightroom does handle JPEG and RAW images slightly differently. Lightroom 5 is much better at handling JPEG edits non destructively than previous versions but the changes should have been baked into the files upon export.
I am not familiar with Pixieset nor am I a Facebook user but, from what I understand about how Facebook operates, there is some compression as well as stripping of metadata from the file when you post it. This shouldn't matter since the edits should have been baked into the JPEG already but I have been in IT long enough to understand that sometimes, the smallest change can have major unexpected consequences. From what you stated, this should be working but it's not. I would like to see if I can duplicate it so any additional information about your processes/workflow would be helpful.

Animated Graphs looking terrible after exporting

Hello Anyone,
I've created an graph in Numbers and brought it across to Keynote and applied an animation effect. Then I exported as a Quicktime Movie using a few different Codecs. All look fine and crystal clear when played in Quicktime. But when I import it into FCP it appears okay in the viewer but terrible when in the Canvas even after rendering. I've tried exporting in various formats from FCP, but I'm still unable to get a satifactory result without it looking terrible. Surely there is a way?????

OK...now for the second part...are you looking at this, and judging the quality of the image based on what you see in the Canvas? That is one of the worse places to judge the quality of the image.
Shane's Stock Answer #2: Blurry playback
ONLY JUDGE THE QUALITY OF YOUR MATERIAL ON AN EXTERNAL NTSC MONITOR, OR AT LEAST A TV.
The canvas shows you what happens after the codec you are working with has been applied. The viewer shows you the material in its native format.
1. Disable overlays on the canvas
2. Make sure you've rendered everything (no green bars at the top of the timeline
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=24787
Video playback requires large amounts of data and many computations. In order to maintain frame rate and be viewable at a normal size, only about one-fourth of the DV data is used in displaying the movie to the screen. However, the DV footage is still at full quality, and is best viewed thru a TV or NTSC monitor routed thru your camera or deck.

D600 RAW files look different that D300 raw files

Please help me understand what's going on and more importantly, how to fix it.
RAW files from my D300 and my D600 look completely different. These are both NEF files, imported to Lightroom 4.2 using exactly the same import preset. I did NOTHING to either file, except that the D300 one was at 1/160 second and the D600 one was at 1/200 second, so I changed exposure on the D300 one by 1/3 stop so they would match. What I did was to shoot the D300 picture, then carefully changed the lens over to the D600 without moving anything, changed the D600 to DX mode to match the field of view and shot the same picture. The files should be essentially identical.
[b]This is from the D300:[/b]
[b]This is from the D600:[/b]
You will notice that the saturation on the D600 image is much higher. And it's much more yellow. The pictures were shot 2 minutes apart, from the same spot. Same lens, same camera settings.
First thing I did was to change the color temperature and tint to match: from 4150/+6 to 4200/+2. There was no visible change (I'm looking at them in compare mode in Lightroom on a calibrated monitor).
Next, I tried to change the D600 image to match the D300 one. I had to make substantial changes to both color balance and saturation of various colors, as well as contrast and black levels to get close. I'd give you absolute numbers but it varies from image to image. In this case, I had to drop the color temperature to 3500, for instance. The easiest way to do this was to use the white balance eyedropper on a grey area in the road.
I'm wondering if this is related to how LR handles the D600 NEF files. LR 4.2 says the D600 algorithm is 'preliminary'. Could this be part of it?
Anyone else here have a D600 and noticed the same thing?
Message title was edited by: Brett N

I'm not really good at using the right technical terms. Let me go back to basics.
Adobe came out with Lightroom 4.2 which has (preliminary) support for the D600. I installed it. I put the memory card from the camera into the card reader and Lightroom popped up because that's what I had set for the default for uploading photos. I told it which folder to store the image in (J:photos/2012-10/2012-10-05) and where to put a second copy (D:/px/lightroom import copies). Then I told LR to "save Current Settings as New Preset..." and I named it "D600 imports". Then I clicked "Import".
When I looked at the files afterwards in Lightroom, the sliders were all at zero except for the ones I noted before. I don't know why Lightroom chose 25 for the sharpening, but it did. Coincidentally, that's the same number it chooses for my D300 imports. I also don't know why it chose a color temp of 4200 and a tint of +4 (I was shooting on auto white balance).
Then I plugged in the card from the D300. I decided not to touch the preset (which still said "D600 imports") and I clicked "Import". The files went to the same folders and presumably, had the same sharpening and other slider levels applied.
Now when I look at the camera calibration in the develop module, under profile it says "Adobe Standard" on the D300 images and "Beta" on the D600 images, so Lightroom somehow knows which camera I used and sets itself accordingly.
At no time did my fingers ever leave my hand, and I did not modify, click on or even breathe on any of the Lightroom default settings. FWIW, my programming days are 35 years behind me and I'm a total non-tekkie user now. I wouldn't know how to 'hack' the D300 files if my life depended on it.
I know that conditions could have changed in the 98 seconds between the D600 shot and the D300 shot. Trust me when I say they didn't.
Regarding Noise Reduction: as far as I know, there are only two user accessible settings in the cameras: "Long Exposure Noise Reduction" and "High ISO Noise Reduction". Generally I have both of those on... but since these shots were at 1/200 sec and ISO 400, they wouldn't have kicked in anyway.
For WB, I used exactly the same spot on the road in both images. But you're right, I should use a grey target and I will next time.
To make the two pictures match as best I could tell onscreen (I changed the D600 image to match the D300 one), I had to change the temp from 4200 to 3500, the tint from +4 to +18, the exposure to -.33, shadows to -48, blacks to -19 (these are huge changes) and it still didn't look as good as the D300 image. It was 'harder' or 'crisper'. There was no mood, no softness to it. It's like looking at a "vivid" Jpeg vs. a "Standard" Jpeg, or a cooked HDR, if that makes any sense.
This isn't so much a complaint as a request for understanding, so that I know when I bring up an image, how to fix it. I shot a landscape and blew it up onscreen to 200%. I could see every leaf, every twig, every shadow's hard edge. That's not a bad thing, that's amazing: I just want to be able to control it.
