PSE 10 - distorted colors

I am trying to open my .nef raw images using PSE 10, and whenever I open an image, it is shown with a weird yellowish/brownish hue, that makes it impossible to work on. When I open the same image using other programs, the colors are normal. I have used PSE before and never had this problem, but this is a new laptop (ASUS). Any help will be greatly appreciated how to make it open in the original colors...

There are many ways to do that. One of the most straightforward is to use a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer:
Select the area you want to apply the new colour to:
Create a Hue/Saturation layer. The layer will automatically be masked to your selection. Select the "Colorize" option and change the settings of the H/S layer to suit:
The final result:

PSE 8: Color Tinting from Black and White Photo

Basically, the title says it all. Can someone tell me how to add areas of color in a black and white photo for PSE 8?
I really appreciate it.

Using Hue Saturation won't colorize my whole picture? What if I just want to color a hat? I mean, I know about hue/saturation and I know how to colorize. But, how do you do it for something specific within that picture and leaving the rest black and white?
Select what you want to colorize and then apply the colorization methods. You might want to first feather the selection 1 or 2 px to get a soft edge. As to Barbara's first method (painting on a blank layer with Color blend mode), the color tends to be washed out. If you want a deeper color, duplicate the layer and set its blend mode to Multiply; if the result is too dark then lower the duplicate layer's Opacity.

PSE 8 coloring a black and white image

Okay, so I downloaded a free trial of PSE 8, so my experience with it is limited, which may contribute to my problem. I've watched tutorials on how to add color to a black and white photo using the paintbrush tool, though I haven't watched one for PSE 8.
I'll make a new layer, paint part of the picture, and then add another layer. But when I click a different color to paint with, it changes the color of what I already painted, even though I'm on a different layer.
Also when I tried to just save the image with one part painted, it didn't save it, and the image looked as it did originally.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Hi,
Are you using the right tool to paint on a layer?
For coloring a black and white image, you need to save different areas of your image on a different layer and then use either Paint brush or a Paint bucket tool.
It seems that you are selecting a wrong tool. For selecting Brush, press B.
Then try painting on one part of the image and then go to the the color swatch present at the end of the tools panel on the left as :
Now click on the foreground color swatch(on the top) to change the color with which you want to paint.This will not change the color of other layers on changing the color.

How do I get CS6 to not distort color when using Lion and printing from Epson R2880?

Ever since I up-graded to CS5 , the color has been distorted. It is not an Epson Lion problem because printing from preview or iPhoto the color is perfect.
Adobe has known about this problem since January 23, 2012. Their help people have taken over my computer for hours at a time and not been able to discover the source of the problem
I thought they might have fixed it with CS6 but no luck I chose use CS4 settings because CS4 had worked.
I printed using Printer Manages Color and color matching, epson color. I selected the correct media. The prints came out dark. The yellows turned green and the greens turned blue/green, reds became dull and blues a bit dark.
This is most upsetting because I cannot afford to buy a new printer and ink. Also I should not have to buy new equipment because Adobe cannot make their product work correctly.

If the printer prints colors accurately from Lion apps,which it does, then the problem is in Adobe.
Uh...ok...then the REST of the FREE world is going down the tubes because obviously, Adobe has screwed up?
Some of us are using LR4 and CS6 to print and getting accurate and excellent results with Lion (10.7.3) so the question begging for an answer is why can't you?
Read very carefully what Chris wrote...the odds are REAL GOOD you are NOT using the correct settings...but since you don't bother to show or explain the EXACT settings you are using when printing, we'll never know. Will we?
If the vast magority of the user base is NOT having an issue, to what do you attribute the disconnect? User Error is the single most likely result...
You want help? Or do you want to argue?
I know a little bit about printing and I seem to be able to print with zero issues on a wide variety of Epson printers...you wanna place blame or do you wanna learn how to fix the problem? (clue, the odds are it isn't Adobe nor Epson leading to the problems, it's you bud).

NIKON D5000 NEF - Lightroom 2.6 and PSE show colors quite differently from what Nikon Software show

With my Nikon D5000 DSLR camera, I took recently photos from small blue flowers. I had set-up my Nikon D5000 to create for every photo both a NEF File and a JPEG File (and had set my camera to use Automatic While Balance).
I noticed that for NEF Files Lightroom 2.6 (and also PSE 7, that uses internally Camera RAW ) shows me the blue colors of the flowers quite differently from what I see with PSE for the jpeg file. It is my impression, that it is in the Jpeg files, that the blue color is close to the reality; and that it is with the NEF Files that Lightroom and PSE show a blue color that is quite different from the reality.
I also looked at the photo files with the NIKON "View Nx" 1.3.0 Software that came with my camera. With "View Nx" the blue colors (both with the NEF file and the Jpeg File) are very vlose that what i see with PSE 7 in the jpeg file (and quite different from what I see with LR and PSE for the .NEF File).
I mentioned this problem to Nikon Support. They suggested, that Nikon Software and Adobe software use different algorithms; and that the Nikon algorithms are better/closer adapted to the Nikon cameras than the more generalized Adobe algorithms that need to support a very large number of cameras.
But ....it is Lightroom that i wish to use to process my NEF Files and PSE that I wish to use to organize my Photos. Can a LR/Camera-RAW expert help me? I would like to find a solution to see with LR and with PSE in my D5000 NEF Photo Files blue colors that are close to the reality and close to what Nikon Software shows me on my PC. Please notice that I am very far away from being a professional and that i will probably not understand complicated explanations.
Thanks a lot in advance.
An additional note, that is perhaps not relevant: I used LR to convert my NEF File into a JPEG File format and looked at the blue in the result. It looks the same as what LR and PSE show me for the .NEF File (and looks different from the jpeg file crreated by the NIKON camera).

EJ and Jim
Thank You very much for your useful feedback.
I realize, that as a neophit I am an exot among the community of photo-experts and photo-professionals addressed by LR. Therefore the wish that I will now express is perhaps inadequate. But since it is gently, that i express this wish, I am probably allowed to do so......
My wish for a future version of LR, is that LR comes out of the box with a "reasonable" interpretation of the RAW images of most important/widespread modern cameras....without requiring that non-experts like me gets confronted from the very beginning with the need to develop their own default settings.
For this wish, I will formulate a Feature Request.
You might wonder, why a non-expert like me is interested in LR instead of using those Photo-Editing Software (e.g. PSE) that are supposed to address the need of non-experts. Well..... I am coming from the PSE world. I am reasolnably happy with the PSE Organizer....but I hate the complex, inefficient, unfriendli "user-interface" (experts will probably tell: workflow-interface?) of the PSE Editor. Its really a last-century Software. LR is so much more friendly, even for non-experts...within the Library Module, i do not need to switch back and forth between one dialogue-window for each type of change.... nearly all what i need is in that one right-hand pane of the Library module.
I honestly believe, that Adobe should take a serious look at promoting/marketing LR also to the audience of non-experts. That would be a good and attractive additional marketing opportunity for LR.

PSE "Remove Color Cast" vs. CS3

I am transitioning from a PSE user to a CS3 user and loving it. I have even happily been able to use the PSE organizer so far with both.
However there is one tool in PSE I cannot find in CS3. I have searched and saw there are a few places where CS3 has some simmilar settings, but nothing that seems to be as easy to use or gives the same results.
Is there a plug-in somehwere that provides this in CS3? For those times when I just want to do a quick color correction, I love that tool in PSE. I tried the detailed methodology of using curves/levels, click this, etc...etc... and although it does eventually get there, results are for sure different and it is more involved. Again, don't mind this if I am spending hours in CS3 working on a bunch of shots from a shoot, but if I just want to color-correct a batch of shots, is there a better way?
Of course I am speaking here of when I am shooting JPEG not RAW.
Thanks,
BJBBJB

The tool I am looking for is in PSE where you can click on a white or black section of the picture and it will auto-color correct for that.
Yes I have tried auto color adjustment, however with the cast color correction, you can click on different areas of the picture that are white/near/white, etc. or back/near black until you can get a nice color mix.
And thanks, certainly once you get the correct color layer adjustment and action or drag and drop would work.
I was just wondering if there was something similar. Certainaly CS3 has tons more control and options for getting to the same place. That tool was just nice when you wanted to do a quickie fix and nothing more.

PSE 11 color intensity differences between Organizer and Fotoeditor

The EIZO CG223G monitor color intensity using PSE 11 Organizer differs significantly from using Fotoeditor for the same tiff and jpg files.
What ist the reason?
How to make the color rendering the same?

Hi Barbara
first of all thanks for the very quick response.
After checking your advices my observations are as follows:
1. Organizer and Editor are in regard to color management synchronized: When I change the settings in Organizer they are automatically changed in the editor. Consequently they are always the same.
2. When in the "Always Optimize Colors for the Computer Screen" modus I observe when moving the Editor screen from my notebook monitor the EIZO monitor, colors are deteriorate immediately - like expected - but after 10 s they change to the right color rendering back. The right color rendering I can judge because it is a test tiff file with a corresponding color print out. When I do the same with the Organizer monitor it does not change after 10 s.
The question is: does color optimization for the belonging monitor does not work in the Organizer properly?

Video is randomly distorted (color inverted) in Premiere Pro CC 2014

Below is a screen grab of what the distortion looks like. It happens regardless of CODEC, sequence setting or type of video file. It happens to MPG, MOV and AVI files equally. It even happens to still graphics. Here are the particulars for my computer:
Windows 7 Home Premium with Service Pack 1 running on an
AMD FX 6 Core processor at 3.5 GHz with
10GB memory, the video card is an
AMD Radeon HD 7450.
As I explain in the graphic, this problem pops up randomly regardless of what other programs are running in the background or none, and the only way to fix it is to reboot the computer.

This looks like a graphic card issue. Try the latest driver or if you are on that try an earlier version.

How to adjust for distorted colors printing on HP 8500 A909g.

In regard to HP All In One 8500 A909g. Photos look great on computer screen but print with an overall red hue. I can eventually adjust the color to get a good print but it wastes a lot of ink getting there. Why doesn't my printer print the colors on the screen? And is there a way to permanently adjust the color? Computer is running Vista.

Thanks for your time, I've included links to 2 HP documents that may help you with the issue you are having with print quality.

PSE 6 Color for emphasis function stopped working

I was partially removing color from some photos the other day and when I started a new photo it no longer worked. Has anyone heard of this problem? I checked and re-checked to make sure I didn't miss anything but I was doing it the same way as ever. ctrl j to get another layer, b for brush choosing color from the drop-down menu, then brushing over the area to de-saturate but instead of removing the color it just moves it around a bit. If anyone knows what this is PLEASE help me out here Thanks!

It's a bit confusing when first starting out.
D=default, which is black for foreground and white for background color
You can toggle between these by pressing X
You can select any color, of course. If you select blue for the foreground color, you would still have white for the background color. You can elect to change the background color as well.
The brush tool uses the foreground color.

HP Pavillion dv4-2045dx Distorted Colors on Screen (Teal) and Red Shadow

The images and letters on the screen are shown with a red shadow. The screen has a red set of curvy lines on the upper right hand corner. When I open the browser to use the internet, I get a teal color screen instead of a white screen. I have already tried to take out the battery and left it out for a day. I also checked to see if my power cord was part of the recall and it was not. I do not know what else to try.

Photos not loading correctly, distorted colors, lines, etc.

So, my wife's Macbook is having a problem... it will not load pictures correctly in iPhoto or from the Finder. to give you an idea of what the pictures look like, see here:
http://photos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v1949/149/17/633596272/n63359627222288712218.jpg
Every time you remove the drive/ camera it will change how messed up it is, and sometimes the pictures come through fine... it's not the camera, as we have tried her old and new camera, and it loads fine on another computer, just not on hers.
She's got a macbook loaded with the latest version of the OS with all the updates... she is running an old (5.5 I think) version of iphoto, which could be a problem, but it's hard to say because they load wrong even if you do not open iphoto... the only way I can get the pictures to load correctly on her computer is by opening them from the image capture application... they open fine inside the program, but once you download the images to the computer, they look messed up again, like in the linked photo...
It definitely seems like a software related issue, maybe an incompatible codec associated with iphoto, or something else...
I've tried trashing the iphoto prefs, and I don't know how long ago this started and AFAIK, there hasn't been any software installed that should create a conflict...
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Will

I just moved quicktime components to the trash to where quicktime will not load or work at all,
What won’t “load or work at all”? Quicktime Player?
I don't think that all of the imaging on the computer goes through quicktime somehow, that is a bit ridiculous and far fetched to think that...
“ridiculous and far fetched”, like confusing QuickTime Player with the Quicktime technology? But what the heck, why don’t you explain to me how it all works then?
