PROPHOTO RGB versus ADOBE RGB-should they look the same?
satisfied with editing an image in LR, I then opened it into CS5 and converted it's profile to adobe rgb, the are marj=kedly different in color,tone,brightness, etc.
i use imac,8GB ram 27" display, os 10.6.6 and I use eye one to calibrate my monitor once per month. LR 3,3 and Photoshop CS5.
searched forums and found nothing i could clearly understand. The prophoto rgb version of image is bright and cheerful but adobe rgb version is dull but probably more accurate.
am prepared for humility so how about some advice
Bob_Peters,
you are absolutely correct.
i just read about the uses if the "assign" and "convert" variations. i will read them again.
a little humility is a fair price to unscramble thoughts.
thanks, again,
vince

My UI preferences are set to identical settings in Illustrator and InDesign ("scale to lower supported scale factor") and AI looks perfect, ID is too big. Why don't they look the same if the settings are the same? Driving me CRAZY. I have my windows scaling factor at 124% and it needs to stay enlarged, otherwise nothing else on my system will be readable. The inconsistency of the workspaces is so annoying.

FileSystemTree and "ordinary" Tree - make them look the same?
Hi,
I wondered if anyone's worked with Adobe AIR's FileSystemTree and the "ordinary" Tree in Adobe Flex, making them look the same? If so, can you give me some hints on how to make them look the same when it comes to icons, disclosure icons, branches, leafs etc.?
The reason I'm asking is this:
Some time ago I decided it'd be nice to build a sort of FTP Client with Adobe AIR. The client would, among other things, have a tree for local folders and a tree for remote folders. It seemed ideal to use the FileSystemTree for the tree containing local folders. The tree with remote folders is built using the "ordinary" Tree with data supplied via a Microsoft .NET Web Service. However, once I started down this road I soon realized the two controls don't look and behave the same (even though FileSystemTree apparently derives from Tree).
Some examples:
- Tree seems to use easing when opening a folder. FileSystemTree just "opens it".
- FileSystemTree displays a disclosure arrow icon regardless of whether or not a directory has children. Haven't got the Tree to display the same icon when a remote directory is empty.
Any help would be appreciated! I'd also like to point out that I'm quite new to both AIR and Flex so maybe the problems I see are actually easy to solve.

When I move high quality clips into my timeline in Final Cut Express HD, they look and export low quality. I have tried converting the clips and de-interlacing them, but they always look the same, What is the problem? Thanks so much.
You should check that the Project settings match the clip settings before editing them to the Timeline.
Only newly created Projects will change not existing ones by adjusting the Project settings.
If, for example, you have a Project set to NTSC DV you can only end up in trouble if the clips are PAL 1920 x 1080i.

I cannot send emails, only receive, after upgrade to Yosemite today, Apple should resolve this issue. Any help more than welcome. Thanks
in response to Pita Fito
I have contacted three more people that made the upgrade and they have the same problem. My advise is not to upgrade until Apple solves the serious issue, I would hate to have to re-install Outlook...I can send e-mails just fine with apple mail on yosemite...
Might not be a generic problem but rather a personal problem..
You should try find a fix rather than waiting on apple.
Hopefully somebody can help you out.
More than happy to help with your settings/preference pain... And compare mine with yours...
If you send some screenshots... I can send you my equivalent... So maybe you can figure it out.
Is it a gmail or icloud email acount? Can be of more help if it is. -

I'm experiencing something similar. My conversations are kept together but if the screen is opened to a conversation and I receive a text from that person it doesn't show up on the screen. The message alert in the upper corner indicates a new text but I have to back out of the screen and go back in to read it.

After editing image in Photoshop the saved result doesn't look the same in Lightroom
If I edit a photo in Photoshop and then save the photo, and then view the saved photo (not the original) back in Lightroom in Develop mode, the photo does not look the same as it does in Photoshop. The dark shadows have been crushed in Lightroom. If I look at it in Expose mode it looks good, but in Develop it the blacks and dark shadows are darker than the image appears in Photoshop. This is a newer problem for me, I'm not sure when it started.
I'm using:
Lightroom 5.5
Photoshop CC 2014
Mac Pro 8-core 2008
ATI Radeon HD 5770 GPU
Mac OS X 10.9.4
Apple 30" Cinema Display, calibrated with a Spyder3 Elite but the calibration doesn't seem to matter, I can change to another profile (e.g. a stock profile not from the Spyder) and still see the same problem.
This seems to happen with Photoshop CC prior to 2014 as well.I'm using ProPhoto RGB in Photoshop. I have a test file that shows this issue: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/84023411/shadows_test.psd
This is a 16-bit ProPhoto RGB image with just 2 colors. The top part of the image is filled with RGB 10,10,10 and the bottom half is 0,0,0. If I open this file in Photoshop and use Apple's DigitalColor Meter utility to read the displayed values of the color of the top, using "Display native values", the result is 18,18,18. I expect it to be different than 10,10,10 due to the display profile but I would expect the same image viewed in Lightroom's Develop module to also read as 18,18,18 in the top half. But when I do this (import the PSD into Lightroom and open in Develop) the Meter reads 12,12,12. If I view the PSD in Loupe mode in Lightroom the Meter reads as expected, 18,18,18.
The difference should also be noticeable to your eye (at least mine) without using any measurements.
The result is that the dark shadows appear crushed when editing in Lightroom Develop mode.
The problem happens on both my 2008 Mac Pro with an ATI Radeon HD 5770 GPU and on my 2013 MacBook Air, although the values read on the Air are different than the Pro due to display profiles.
Normally, of course, I'm editing a RAW file in Lightroom and open that up in Photoshop (cmd+e), but this test seems to show that it happens with non-RAW files. -
How do you make multi cameras look the same?
So I have three cameras used in the shoot. Lighting is from regular track lighting most commonly found in ware shouse type venues. Cameras 1 & 2 are one foot off the ground pointing ever so slightly up. Camera 3 is shooting from 15 feet off the ground pointing down. How do I make them all look the same in post production? When I try to increase the brightness in camera 3 it looks washed out. When I try to dim the brightness in 1 & two it looks dark and shadowy.
Ideally you start with this:
• 3 identical camcorders.
• Manually set the white balance in each camcorder onsite before doing a shoot.
• Make sure the 'program' setting is the same in each camcorder, e.g. they should all be "Auto" or "Spotlight" or "Portrait" etc. - the one you prefer.
• If possible, manually set the exposure in each camera
What probably happened is your camcorders' auto exposure did its job and the cams pointing upward were underexposed because the sensor was affected by the overhead lights.
If your clips' brightness & contrast are reasonably close, start by applying the Color Corrector filter to each clip. Use the Visual control (you will see the button when you apply the filter) and then use the Eye Dropper tool to set the white & black points in each clip. If the cameras weren't too mismatched this may be enough to correct the brightness mismatch. I doubt you will get a perfect match but hopefully close enough that it's acceptable. -
I am importing a folder of pictures and they import the same picture?
Hi,
I am importing a folder of pictures and the picture information is correct but the thumbnails are all the same picture. If I move the pictures onto the time line they are the same picture. I just upgraded from CS3 to CS5. I tried to update the program but it said that Premier Pro CS5 is up to date. I have tried different folders but they import various pictures with incorrect thumbnails and the pictures are wrong also? Is this a program error?OK everyone, good news. I am not losing my mind
I resized them to 72 dpi at 640x480 (4:3 normal video as specified by the new project. They still do not import correctly under any of the conditions I listed above. This time, I also dragged them from Adobe Bridge to the bin I was working out of. FYI, 300 dpi at 720x480 is EXACTLY the same file size as 72 dpi 720x480. I also have been able to import onsie-twosie photos at full resolution and they auto-fit in the video frame.
I believe many of you were able to fix this problem with the re-sizing work-around, it did not work for me. I have a hard time believing resolution matters when the pixel dimensions are the same. this looks to me like a configuration issue or something wrong with the 64 bit only version for cs5. CS4 works fine on my virtual machine I created to test (this is how I resolved the issue and got my project done). -
How do I know I bought the new Time Capsule, the box looks the same.
Hi all, I bought a new 1TB Time Capsule via mail order after Apple announced they upgraded the TC. I haven't opened the shrink wrap. Is there a way for me to know I have the new TC without opening the box? The box design looks the same to me as the old TC. I can return the TC if I didn't open the shrink wrap. Thanks!!
I'm pretty sure the serial number is on the outside of all apple product boxes. Find the serial number and type it in here: https://selfsolve.apple.com/GetWarranty.do
It should give you the full name of the product. The new ones should say "Early 2009" somewhere in their name. -
I sent a JPG with colorspace AdobeRGB1998 to myself via an email and it came back looking the same!
What happened? I was taught that the internet uses sRGB and so my returned JPG should have had the muted colors, same as Assigning a JPG to sRGB has. What am i missing?
Color-management is all about getting the most accurate view of the colors that you can so that you're viewing them as intended.
In an ideal world with ideal computers, every image would contain all the information needed to fully describe the colors in it, and every system would display those colors accurately in every application.
We're still kind of a long way off from that utopia, though every day things get a little better.
There are two schools of thought:
1. Casual users can be perfectly happy when red things look red and blue things look blue, but the colors may not be accurate at a subtle level. In this case, it can be possible to get many applications to match one another in the appearance of the images displayed on the same system, so things seem more consistent.
2. Professional or picky users may prefer to take the time to fully understand color-management, and calibrate and profile their systems, so that they can be sure what they're seeing is more accurate.
In practical terms, it can actually seem counter-intuitive to the first group that after having spent money on devices to calibrate and profile a system, that Photoshop now displays things differently than other applications, which may display things differently than one another.
Here are two possible scenarios, to illustrate this further:
1. A typical user has a monitor with a more or less standard color gamut and not hugely different from sRGB. So if this user both edits images in the sRGB profile, and has the sRGB profile associated with (and thus describing the characteristics of) the monitor, which is the Windows default, the following plays out... When the user displays an sRGB image:
A color transform by Photoshop from the image color space to the monitor color space does nothing (as both are identical), and the R,G,B pixel values from the image are sent to the monitor as is. The monitor does a passable, though possibly inaccurate, job of displaying the image.
Internet Explorer 9, which always does transforms from image color space to sRGB (regardless of monitor profile), also does nothing, so the image looks the same as in Photoshop.
A non-color-managed application (e.g., IrfanView with Color Management turned off for speed) does no color management transforms by definition, so R,G,B values are just sent to the monitor and the image looks the same as above. Earlier versions of IE and other earlier browsers do no color management and fall into this category as well.
An application that's supposed to be fully color-managed, but which has bugs (e.g., some versions of Firefox) or may not understand all variants of color profiles, very likely DOES work properly with the sRGB profile, since it's the default on Windows and is well formed, and thus displays an sRGB image with no transform, and it looks the same as in all the above cases.
An image expressed in a color space OTHER THAN sRGB will be inaccurately displayed by a non-color-managed application, but the color will only be as inaccurate as in all the above cases (because the monitor does not perfectly display sRGB) in properly functioning color-managed applications.
See the pattern in the above? Consistency.
2. Users seeking the most accurate possible color in their color-managed applications might choose high-end wide-gamut monitors (though even cheap monitors nowadays are starting to have wide gamuts), and might also purchase devices for calibrating and profiling their display(s) and printer(s). What they then experience is this:
Photoshop and other fully color-managed applications will display their images, regardless of color space, accurately. A particular tone of red will be just that tone, and this will be true no matter what color space the image uses.
Internet Explorer 9 will transform images from whatever color space to sRGB, so it will ALWAYS be inaccurate. How inaccurate depends on how different the actual monitor characteristics are from sRGB.
Non-color-managed applications will just display images without transform, so they'll be inaccurate depending on how different the image color profile is from the monitor's characteristics. Images could end up looking oversaturated on a wide-gamut monitor.
The color profile produced by the profiling software may not be perfectly well understood by all color-managed applications, leading to very strange displays.
Folks in this category understand when to expect differences, and are ready to work out problems so that they get accurate color from the applications they expect to be fully color-managed. They may avoid Internet Explorer and use Firefox or Safari instead so that they see accurate color from their browsers as well. Given all this, in the applications (like Photoshop) that matter to them, they can make use of the entire color gamut of their monitors and printers, and can convert to sRGB for web publishing as needed.
There is no easy answer as to which group is "better" to be in. It depends on your needs and expectations, and it's actually even possible to try to straddle the fence some, with a compromise between the above extremes.
I realize this may have raised more questions than it answered, but that is the nature of color-management. I encourage you to read all you can until it finally starts to click. Then you can make intelligent choices about which paths to take.

Photos do not look the same after being uploaded to the web
Hey,
I have a problem with photos not looking the same as they do in LR when I upload them to the web.
Is there a fix for this?>I now sometimes incorporate an "extra boost of saturation" in the
work flow in anticipation of the loss of saturation when I take the save for web option in CS.
>It is a bit arbitrary ... what is the view of the pros / experts on
this remedy?
This is a bad idea. The loss of saturation you see is only there on YOUR specific screen. It will not happen on other people's screens, except when they have a similar screen and graphic card as you. Other people might see much higher saturation on their screens. The point behind sRGB is that it provides an average target for the screen manufacturers. Screens cluster around it and so it is a REALLY bad idea to try to compensate for the problem in your specific screen. What you should do is refuse to use non-color managed webbrowsers as they will always lie to you. This means you have to use Firefox with the secret setting (see above) or Safari. If you use sRGB and a color-managed browser you will see what the average person sees. If you use sRGB and a color-dumb browser (i.e. IE) you will only see what you see.
P.S. I am assuming you hardware calibrate your screen. This is essential. Even when calibrated, colors will only be right in color-managed apps. -
How can I make a custom style look the same in both printed and online?
My specs:
RH 9.0.2.271
Windows 7, 64-bit
Word 2010
The Background Info:
So I created some custom css styles to try and mimic the look of a message box in our documentation. Here's the css code:
.MsgBox {
color: #000000;
border-left-style: Solid;
border-right-style: Solid;
border-top-style: Solid;
border-bottom-style: Solid;
font-size: 10pt;
background-color: #eeeeee;
border-left-width: 4px;
border-right-width: 4px;
border-top-width: 4px;
border-bottom-width: 4px;
border-left-color: #cdcdcd;
border-right-color: #cdcdcd;
border-top-color: #cdcdcd;
border-bottom-color: #cdcdcd;
width: 350px;
padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
box-shadow: 10px 10px 5px #888888;
margin-bottom: 7pt;
.MsgBoxTitle {
color: #000000;
border-left-style: Solid;
border-right-style: Solid;
border-top-style: Solid;
border-bottom-style: Solid;
font-size: 10pt;
background-color: #cdcdcd;
border-left-width: 4px;
border-right-width: 4px;
border-top-width: 4px;
border-bottom-width: 0px;
border-top-color: #cdcdcd;
border-bottom-color: #cdcdcd;
border-left-color: #cdcdcd;
border-right-color: #cdcdcd;
width: 350px;
padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
box-shadow: 10px 10px 5px #888888;
My HTML Code:
<div class="MsgBoxTitle">
PC-DMIS MESSAGE:
</div>
<div class="MsgBox">
<p>Please do the following steps in the indicated order.</p>
<p>1. Remove the current SH-1/2/3 stylus.</p>
<p>2. Attach the SHSP (Stylus Holder Setting Piece).</p>
<p>3. Jog the probe to a safe location with a clear line of approach
to the port(s) being calibrated. </p>
<p>4. Then click OK.</p>
<p>After you click OK the machine will begin DCC measurement.</p>
</div>
The Expected Output:
Here's how it renders in a browser (the title is MsgBoxTitle, the body is the MsgBox style). I'm happy with how it looks there, even if the box shadow doesn't always display:
The Ugly Printed Output:
And here's what it looks like in the printed output.
Ugly. Are there any tricks to get the printable (doc) output to match the online? Ideally, on the printed output, I'd like to have all the white space in my pseudo message box removed so it looks just like the online.Hi Peter. Thanks for the reply.
I assumed that if I used the project style sheet during the export, Word would convert the style so that it looked the same as in the HTML. Is that a bad assumption? I'm currently not mapping to any template equivalent for these message box styles. I did try it as one of my attempts, but I couldn't figure it out. It never seemed to take the style in the .dot.
Anyway, if I use just 1 style, such as just the MsgBox, I obviously don't get the white paragraph between the title and message. That white paragraph comes from the first <p> tag in the MsgBox style. But I need to have the <p> tags in there because they're better for our localization process than line breaks.
I did do some tweaks that made it look better. Basically I structured it so that the MsgBoxTitle div is now inside the MsgBox div. Something like this:
<div class="MsgBox">
<div class="MsgBoxTitle">PC-DMIS MESSAGE: </div>
<p>Please do the following steps in the indicated order.</p>
<p>1. Remove the current SH-1/2/3 stylus.</p>
<p>2. Attach the SHSP (Stylus Holder Setting Piece).</p>
<p>3. Jog the probe to a safe location with a clear line of approach
to the port(s) being calibrated.</p>
<p>4. Then click OK.</p>
<p>After you click OK the machine will begin DCC measurement.</p>
</div>
And then I adjusted my styles borders, padding, and thickness. That helped it look more connected, but still doesn't look quite right:
Would love to get rid of that white space after the title.
If you have time, I would be interested in a more detailed example of how you did it.
