Printing from Aperture, and printing from Lightroom.

Hello,
I have noticed when I print from Aperture using my Canon i9950 and a custom paper Colorsync profile, and if I then print from Adobe's Lightroom using the same Colorsync profile and paper, the print from Lightroom is much sharper. The Aperture print is exact in every respect except it is noticeably softer.
Anyone else notice this? And if so is this a recognised problem that may be fixed in 1.1?
Kind regards,

Hi Charles, I totally agree with you. Lightroom's printing features are really excellent. In comparison Aperture almost seems like the printing of photographs was something the Aperture dev team bolted on at the last minute.
I sincerely hope Apple sort out, what for me is inexcusable in a professional commercial app. A few photographers I know are going to use the next release of Aperture as a turning point, if it can't print as good as the Beta Lightroom then they will become Lightroom users and say good bye to Aperture.
Apertures sorting and logging tools really are second to none, but if the print quality is poor, what is the point. I know for a large number of photographers, producing prints is not high on their list of needs, especially if they are supplying prints for publication or the web. But if I want to do what my old fashioned enlarger can do, which is create great prints, then hey I am not going to get it with Aperture.
I know Apple can fix this, I just hope they do.
Anil.

  • Aperture and colorchecker passport from X-rite

    the colorchecker passport is a tool to make color corrections by camera profiles.
    (http://www.xritephoto.com/phproductoverview.aspx?id=1257&tab=videos)
    nice program to get my color workflow better accept i use aperture and.. that just doesn't work some how. even adobe's lightroom got a plugin for this beautiful thing but aperture doesn't give any options to use a camera profile. Unbelievable because this is so important if you're doing commercial photography.
    I hope some one can help me with my issue because i dont want to leave aperture and work with lightroom...

    Just one other comment about this kind of workflow in general.
    While absolutely accurate color rendition and absolutely neutral WB can have their uses they are few and far between. Virtually every single commercial image ever viewed has nowhere near "accurate" color or WB. In fact the whole demo video itself is shot so freaking warm it's actually funny. Not only is the video shot warm but just about everything done, from the time of day it was shot to the use of gold reflectors is done to achieve warmth of color while the guy talks on and on and on about how the product helps you achieve accurate color - that's hilarious. Why would you ever go through the trouble to get the light and color so warm just to neutralize it out. His video shooter/processor/editor didn't think it was such a good idea to neutralize it - in fact the video guys actually cranked it up. Really funny stuff. Hmmm what happens when you shoot when the sun is really really warm and you use a gold reflector and a neutral WB target to adjust your WB? Answer = gold/warmth goes away - freaking brilliant. Hmmm maybe he should talk about how the video guys just set the WB to 5500 or even higher temp and captured all the wrong but warm color.

  • If I install a trial version of Aperture and don't like it, will I be able to still use my photo library in iPhoto?

    I'm evaluating both Aperture and Adobe's Lightroom to decide which one meets my needs for the best price (got a deal on Lightroom 3 for $120 and I know Aperture 3 is $79 in the Mac App Store).
    I have a few questions:
    I currently use iPhoto '11 (9.1.3) and have Photoshop CS4, so I have tools for importing DSLR shots and making pro-type changes in Camera Raw, while also having iPhoto to organize my photo library and syncing Events and Albums with my iPhone and iPad.
    I like that I would be able to maintain my iPhoto library data for Faces and Places in Aperture, but am concerned that when the iPhoto library is "upgraded" for Aperture, and I decide I don't really need that program, the upgraded library won't work with iPhoto anymore.
    Will I still be able to use iPhoto to access and organize my library, or will it be forever converted for use with Aperture?
    I'm considering Lightroom because I have been disappointed with the number of bugs showing up in recent iPhoto releases. I'm a bit weary of buying another photo management software product from Apple. iPhoto '11 crashed my old iMac very frequently (I wound up upgrading to a new iMac due to this and I was expecting to run out of hard drive space in a year or two anyway).
    Recently, iPhoto bugs make Events show up multiple times in iTunes when syncing for iPhone and iPad.
    If iPhoto management is this unstable, I would like to consider choosing a new method of organizing and syncing to iOS devices and abandoning the iPhoto library method.
    Will I find a better user experience with Aperture, or does it also use the single file library and suffer the same struggles iPhoto users have been seeing lately?

    The iPhoto library isn't changed in any way by Aperture. Aperture will import the Library and you can choose to copy the files to the Aperture Library or reference them within iPhoto. As long as you don't delete files from the iPhoto Library via Aperture (which you could do if you choose to Reference) there is no impact on iPhoto
    Will I still be able to use iPhoto to access and organize my library, or will it be forever converted for use with Aperture?
    They are completely different libraries.

    Fixed in the 9.1.3 update.
    Will I find a better user experience with Aperture, or does it also use the single file library and suffer the same struggles iPhoto users have been seeing lately?
    Like iphoto, Aperture can use the "single file library" or it can use a Referenced Library (just like iphoto can). Note that using a Referenced Library offers not a whit more in terms of features or capabilities. It's file storage plain and simple. Nothing more.
    No you won't see the "same struggles iPhoto users have been seeing..." because Aperture is an entirely different allication.
    But you my see Aperture or Lightroom struggles

  • Unable to match monitor brightness and prints when printing from lightroom.

    Trying to figure out how to print the brightness of what I see on the monitor. Running a windows 8 box with current Adobe creative cloud account. Trying to print directly from lightroom. Have a colormunki display and have calibrated the monitor which helped a bunch. Also turned off the color adjustments in the printer settings. Currently the monitor brightness is set to 0 (by the munki). Am printing on a canon pixma 9500 mkII and my printer drivers are up to date.. This is not just me being picky it is just plain off. Am printing on Moab Lasal Matte and/or Moab Pearl metallic and am also using the correct icc profile for it. If I raise the exposure to see the darker areas, my colors wash out. If I print where my calibration tells me to, the prints are too dark. Am having issues finding a middle ground. Even tried to raise the print adjustment brightness with no difference. With all that I have done and spent, I really feel like I should have better results. Can someone help?

    Andrew Rodney has written the definitive answer to this issue: Why are my prints too dark? Article on Luminous Landscape
    In summary the luminance of your monitor is to bright - try turning the luminance down to about 100 cd/m2.
    Exactly what monitor luminance is ideal for your editing environment is a trial-and-error process.
    Viewing conditions are also important.
    A print that is too dark for a dim viewing environment may be ideal in a much brighter environment.

  • Wrong print preview and printed color from Lightroom 1.3

    I am running Vista Ultimate and i just installed the driver for my Canon PIXMA Pro9000.
    When i try to print from Lightroom 1.3 the colors are very muted, even when i do print preview the colors are wrong in the print preview screen.
    No matter what i do i cant seem to get lightroom to Print Preview AND print with the right colors.
    The image on this link http://www.pbase.com/charld/image/94711330
    (on the left) is what i see and get when i do a print preview and print and my monitor image is on the right.
    If i use Canon DPP the colors are not that bad, its a bit dark but that was easily fixed and i can get it quite close to what i see on the screen. My monitor is not calibrated..The images were all shot in RAW and converted to DNG...Do i need to re-install Lightroom as i don't think print preview has anything to do with the printer i have attached....
    Thanks

    I got the solution from another forum:
    http://www.lightroomforums.net/showthread.php?t=1613
    1. in the Print module, clicking on the Print Settings button ...
    2. Choose your media type
    3. Under Print Quality choose High
    4. Under Color Intensity choose Manual. In the subsequent dialogue box choose None.
    5. In the Print right hand panel under Color Management choose your print media - PR1 for Photo Paper Pro, SG1 for semi-gloss &c
    6. Rendering intent Perceptual.
    7. Hit Print and OK.
    this resolved my issue!!

  • Prints and SoftProofs from Aperture and PS look different?

    I'm using the HP Designjet 90 and there is something strange.
    There is significant difference between soft-proof in Aperture and PS of the same image (exported as .psd from Aperture). In Aperture the image has some blue/cyan cast and there is no such a problem in PS Softproof.
    Prints are consistent with softproofs - from Aperture it looks blueish and more warm from PS.
    Why there is such a difference?

    ... and I'm applying the same profile in both applications

  • Printing from Lightroom (CCS) on a PC and my skin tones are coming out a lot redder than they should.

    I am printing from lightroom on an Epson Stylus Pro R2880 on my PC.
    Overall, my colors have been fine. Not perfect, but good enough for what I'm doing.
    But, I have noticed that my skin tones are coming out extremely red/pink.
    1) How do I fix this?
    2) How do I optimize my colors so that my prints come out as close as possible to what my computer shows me?
    Thanks!

    Hi there!
    It's a known problem. I solved it by going through an advanced profiling method. I described it here in detail: ColorChecker: How to get PERFECT skin colors with every camera - Hans van Eijsden Photography
    Warning: advanced stuff. But once you got it covered and once you calibrated your printer, it's a big time saver. Good luck.

  • How do I Print Accurate Color from Lightroom?

    I just got my Epson 3880 2 weeks ago.  The problem I am having is getting accurate color when printing from Lightroom.  I am running a p.c. with Windows 8.1.  To eliminate my monitor as the problem, I created a series of color patches in Photoshop, printed them and read them in using the X-Rite Color Munki Photo.  Here is a list of thing I have done:

    Printing from Windows Photo Viewer – Printer Manages Color
    Did I miss something in the Lightroom print section?
    Message was edited by: David Nestico.  Rather than just posing a list of numbers, I summarized what I thought was important.  All data is there in case someone smarter than me can make more sense of it :)

    I thought my problem could be Lightroom is in ProphotoRGB color space, and my printer is Adobe1998 color space.  To test this, I changed the color space of my patches from prophoto to AdobeRGB. I checked my colors in Photoshop, and made them match the RGB number I specified.  It was interesting to note that (128,128,255) had a noticeable shift to purple.  the other colors shifted slightly.  Now I printed the test page with Lightroom managing color and the printer managing color.  Both images came out similar.
    This study came about when I was printing some images, and the sky had a definite purple shift.  So, I took the image into Photoshop and converted the colorspace from prophoto to Adobe.  Printed the image, and the image came out much better.
    So the question now is, do I need to convert each image I print in Photoshop, or am I doing something wrong in Lightroom?

  • Printing from Lightroom (2.5 - 3) into Adobe Acrobat 9

    I just wanted to post that I have been searching for an answer about errors when printing from Lightroom to Acrobat. When I went to Win7 64 bit Professional and CS5 Design Premium two weks ago - all the problems started.
    Looking at the forums - I found several others with similar problems in a 64 bit environment. I tried their suggestions and none helped. I called Adobe this past week and spent 3 hrs on the phone to be told they didn't have a solution but would get back with me (one can only hope). I upgraded to Lightroom 3 hoping that would solve it and it has not.
    When collecting images and going to Print, then printing into Acrobat as a 2/2 cell contact sheet, no images are embedded. In Lightroom 3, a clean sheet appears. Has anyone else experienced this? Even when using a new tiny catalog, the same result occurs.
    I am running a PC with quad processor, 4 Gigs of RAM, NVidia graphics card that is two years old - all newest drivers for 64 bit. SATA drives, dedicated scratch disk... etc.
    The catalog is new and tiny.
    The images are small for testing purposes (only about 6 at 300 dpi).
    Luckily, I can do a work-around using Bridge but I use Lightroom for processisng photos and sending contact sheets to clients and need this function. Any help would be much appreciated. If you are having the same problem, please call Adobe and report it.

    Ok, I've run some tests: files with full native Canon 30D images (RAW) that had been edited in LR 3 and followed the set up given by Adobe. It failed. Some of the pics came in and retained their file names and some showed just file names and blanks for the pic space. Ok, I'll run more tests and come back to this.
    I tend to edit, make JPGs (6 x 4 at 300dpi) and then import those and set up the contact sheet. Running full bore - as explained above, it doesn't work.I'll try multiple JPGs to see if that works.
    I'll go back into discussions with Adobe. Their support page is convoluted and expensive. I began under the upgrade of CS5 and Lightroom 3. I'll try again.
    I do recommend, if possible, that you edit/resize and control your resolution (I set up the printer box in LR for 200 dpi) and then make your contact sheets as per their instructions. You also might try limiting how many sheets your make to see how that works. Create one sheet, then two, etc. so you can see where the cutoff is for your system. I'm afraid some of this may be hardware and how much info you are asking to be transferred from LR to the PDF.
    It is very odd that some are coming in and some are not. There is definitely something flaky in Lightroom to Acrobat. I suspect the coding may not be set up to handle 64 bit and that's why it's failing. As far as I know, the only software that is full 64 bit, at present, if Photoshop. The others are running under the 32 bit environment within a 64 bit OS of Win7.
    Is this not true?

  • Error 88 or Support Code 88 in Canon Driver printing on art paper from Lightroom

    Re: Error 88 (Support Code 88) of Canon Printer Driver, using Pixma Pro9500 - April 20, 2014
    I'm replying to myself from two years ago, and to the rest of you, regarding Error 88.  (My question of April 2012 is in the Photoshop department of Adobe Community.  For those who don't know but are reading this anyway for some reason, Error 88 is a message from the Canon Printer Driver that tells you you haven't set the paper size correctly for printing on fine-art paper.  But it may appear anyway, even if your settings are correct.)
    At the time I found no resolution to the problem, just a workaround: to print from Lightroom itself. Too bad this was after months of hassle and expense, including a probably fraudulent (and certainly useless) repair (supposedly replacing the Pixma's logic board and paper sensor), and the ministrations of a techie who could only conclude there was something wrong with my copy of Photoshop which provoked the Error 88. But he made me realise I could print from Lightroom, and that's what I've been doing ever since.  (The possibility had never occurred to me, as my routine of printing from Photoshop was working fine.)  This has been a good move after all, since Lightroom offers many advantages over PS where printing is concerned:  tonal controls and more in Develop, and the possibility of creating a Saved Print.
    But to print from Lightroom, I had to crop my printing files to the image. (In PS I had always created a document the same size as the paper I planned to use – A4 or A3+ – and positioned the image where I wanted, with margins all around. But in Lightroom I set margins and position in Print Mode, starting with a borderless file.) This was a bit of work, but unavoidable, and a good thing on the whole. So for a couple of years I printed in this way.
    But meanwhile, my 2009 iMac was developing other problems, and finally I had to replace it. (After only two or three years of use, it was shutting down spontaneously, a problem no one was able to resolve, about which every techie has a different opinion, and about which Apple is completely mute and unresponsive; thank you Apple Computer for your supposedly ultra-reliable products – I can only say it’s a good thing you don’t make pacemakers).
    So for about ten weeks now I have a nice shiny new 2013 iMac, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed. Also I have the new OS Mavericks, new versions of Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 5, the new Canon Driver. I have my complaints about the OS (particularly a few interface/viewing design choices that strike me as colossally stupid and unnecessary), but that's beside the point here.
    Having not yet printed with the new setup (nor for a few months before), and knowing that it's good to use your Pixma now and then, I thought I'd dedicate a few hours to printing. I figured it could work out easy, since I planned to print from Saved Prints. But as soon as I hooked it all up, checked my settings, and clicked Print, I see the printer icon bouncing in the Dock with its little yellow trouble flag. I check that out and am very dismayed to see my old nemesis, Error 88, which tells me I haven't set the paper size correctly. But it's correct, of course. (As before, I'm printing on fine art paper, A3+.) Beg your pardon, Canon now calls it "Support Code 88", thinking of all the Support you'll get from them.
    I tried a few of the obvious things: start/restart computer, printer, Lightroom, etc., but to no avail. Also, supposing that my Saved Prints were perhaps no longer valid in the new LR, I tried to print directly from the file, bypassing the Saved Print, but no go.
    I should also note that, in Page Setup, the Default paper size “Super B/A3” (330x483mm) was new to me – seems to me you could set “A3+ Art Margins”. A3+ as I know it from the fine-art papers I use is 329x483mm anyway (also as given in Page Setup), if that makes any difference.
    If it's any use, here are some particulars on the current situation:
    iMac 27”, late 2013, 3.4 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB, Mac OSX 10.9.2
    Lightroom 5.3 (Camera RAW 8.3)
    Photoshop CS6 (version 13.0 x64)
    Canon PrinterDriver_Pro9500 series_108420 (10.84.2.0)
    And my settings:  LR Page Setup: set “Art A3+ (Margin 35)”System Prefs/Printers & Scanners – set Default paper size “Super B/A3” (330x483mm) (found via “Format For:” in Page Setup)LR Print Settings:
    Printer: Canon Pro9500 series (exclamation point – not recognized?)
    Presets: Last Used Settings
    Color Matching: Canon
    Paper Handling: All Pages – Automatic – NO “Scale to fit paper size” (but “Destination Paper Size, though grayed out, reads “Suggested Paper: Art A3+ (Margin 35”)
    Quality & Media: Media Type: Fine Art “Photo Rag” (or “FA Museum Etching” or “FA Matte”); Paper Source: Front Tray; Print Quality: High; YES Grayscale Printing
    Color Options:
    Color Mode: Standard; C-M-Y and Tone all left at zero

    It all looks kosher to me.  Does anybody know anything about this problem? I'll be very grateful.

  • Color shift printing from Lightroom 1.3

    Windows Vista, HP officejet Pro L7580 printer, Lightroom 1.3, Photoshop CS3. All that being said and having used Photoshop since ver 5 with a variety of printers I find myself stumped with my latest soup of hardware and software. Screen colors do not print out anywhere close on paper when I try to print from Lightroom. Move the file over via "edit in Photoshop" and print from there and everything is fine. In Photoshop, whether Photoshop or the printer controls the color there is no problem. In Lightroom, however I have no control that I can find. I have no additional profiles so the printer controls the color. Photoshop and the printer are both set to AdobeRGB1998.icc. Other then just printing from Photoshop what am I missing in Lightroom?
    By the way Adobe, in the future think about either Lightroom or Bridge but not both.

    Hi,
    Just a reminder for those who missed that thread (I guess this fix also
    applies to LR 1 although I didn't check):
    [FIX] Darker prints and color shifts when printing from Lightroom 2
    (this is for Windows - Mac users please look here for a similar fix:
    http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr_13_print/lightroom_print.htm )
    The problem :
    When printing RAW or TIFF files from LR2, you get a printer output that
    is much darker than it should be and that presents various color shifts.
    I'm using an Epson Stylus Pro 3800 with the latest Windows driver
    (6.50 - which is rather old by the way). The workaround described below
    works for me under Windows XP SP3. It should also probably work with
    other systems/printers/drivers. Use at your own (minor) risk.
    The "official" procedure for printing from LR is as follows:
    1. Do not let the printer manage colors and select "Other..." from the
    profile dropdown list and select the ICC/ICM paper/printer profile that
    you want to use.
    2. Click on Print... in LR which opens the Print Settings dialog.
    3. Select the options you need and the paper you're using.
    4. *Disable the color management from the driver's side* (in Epson's
    drivers, "Mode | Custom | No Color Adjustments").
    5. Print
    Unfortunately, *this doesn't work* for many of us and this produces a
    print that is dark and has color shifts as mentioned above. Note that
    the same image prints correctly from QImage or Photoshop CS3 (that is,
    the printer output corresponds to what you see on your calibrated
    display).
    Apparently, although color management has been (allegedly) disabled in
    the driver, there's something wrong between LR and the driver which
    makes that both LR and the driver are still trying to manage colors. In
    other words, the "No Color Adjustements" option of the driver doesn't
    seem to work with LR.
    The workaround (found after hours of hair pulling and paper and
    expensive ink wasting):
    In step #4,
    1. Instead of selecting "No Color Adjustments", set Mode to "Custom |
    ICM
    2. Click Advanced...
    3. Check "Show all profiles".
    4. Select Driver ICM (Advanced)"
    5. Set *both* the "Input profile" and the "Printer profile" fields to
    the very same profile that you specified in LR.
    That is, if you specified Pro38 PGPP (Premium Glossy Photo Paper) in LR,
    then also select Pro38 PGPP in both "Input Profile" and "Printer
    Profile". This has actually the same effect has disabling color
    management in the driver (what "No Color Adjustements" should normally
    take care of).
    That's it. When printing, you'll get exactly the same color results as
    when printing from QImage or Photoshop. No more dark prints. No more
    color shifts.
    One might think that the bug is in the Epson driver but in that case,
    QImage would have the very same problem. So I tend to think that the bug
    is on the Lightroom side.
    Hope this helps.

  • "could not start print job" when printing to PDF from Lightroom

    Any body else had this problem and fixed it??  When I print from Lightroom to Adobe PDF I get "could not start print job" and the print job hangs.
    I have:
    Lightroom 2.5 64 bit
    Acrobat Standard 9
    Windows 7 Ultimata 64bit but I had this problem with Vista 64 bit. Somtimes it would work sometimes not - now with Windows 7 Not - always.
    I can print to acrobat from every other application, even Photoshop CS3 - just not Lightroom.
    It's terribly frustrating.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Andrew,
    I can print from other apps, just printed a doc from open office.
    OS Windows 8.1. Have been printing from this computer and setup previously, it seems to have been an intermitent problem that has now become a consistent problem.
    I've updated the printer firmware, and Windows is up to date.
    Seems to be a lightroom issue, and I'm getting a bit nervous because I have a show opening on February 15th I need to print for.

  • Epson R1900 Color Issues Only Printing From Lightroom

    Hi all - my first post here thought I've been reading this forum since I purchased 1.1 a while back. I'm using 1.4.1 with XP Home, service pack 3. I've had very few issues with this release (which is why I haven't jumped to 2.X yet). To date, I've occasionally printed snapshots with an HP 1115, but most printing has been through labs.
    I recently purchased an Epson R1900 and I've been unable to get colors to print remotely correct through Lightroom. It looks to me like the color is getting managed twice, regardless of the settings I use. The R1900 driver allows a preview before actually printing, and the colors it shows are always off by a lot, regardless of whether I let Lightroom manage color or the printer.
    Other less sophisticated programs do not have this problem. I can print a JPEG image through Windows Photo Printing Wizard or a pdf through Adobe Reader with much closer correlation to the monitor. Prints from the HP 1115 are comparatively much lower quality, but through Lightroom or other applications, color is within reason. I'm assuming there are others that are successfully using this printer with Lightroom running on Windows XP. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    I solved my color problem by updating the printer driver to version 6.60. When I discovered that a newer driver was available I had attempted to update it but it would not install correctly. I contacted Epson for help, but only received links to non-relevant information. I eventually determined that using MSCONFIG to keep all nonessential programs from starting would allow the driver to correctly install. Simply shutting down all user launched programs and my virus software was insufficient.
    Prints are definitely on the dark side, but I've been able to compensate as Dan has suggested. Otherwise, I am quite pleased with the prints it produces on Epson Premium Glossy, and am looking forward to experimenting with other papers and ICC profiles. Thanks all for your help and suggestions.

  • Printing Issuse From Lightroom 4 To Canon Pixma Pro 9000 MK II

    I have been trying to print from Lightroom 4 to a Canon Pixma Pro 9000 MK II.   Whenever I try to print via the front try (for canvas) I get an error message (code 1281) and I cannot print.   I have tried a few different papers as well as canvas and all of them give the same error code.
    I have also tried printing from Elements 9 with the same problem.
    I can print via the front try using Canon's own software, Easy Print Pro, but I cannot soft proof the image first and I cannot the the correct size of image either.
    Does anyone have any idea how I can get round this problem?
    I have spoken to Canon and they have passed the buck saying that as I can print using thier software it is an Adobe issue.
    Printer: Canon Pixma Pro 9000 MKII
    Software: Adobe Lightroom 4
    Operating System: Lion OSX

    The final answer was as per Rikk Flohr's instructions,
    Lightroom>Print Module
    Print Settings button Bottom Left-hand Panel
    Set the Center Pull-down to Quality and Media
    Paper Source: Front Tray
    I was having difficulty finding these previously, thanks Rikk.
