Raw Conversion: Colors not accurate. Correction with profile?

Hi,
When I create JPGs from my Raw files, the results don't look natural. Some colors have more saturation, some less. For example, the colors of the KoMi A series look somehow dirty; the reds of the Maxxum 5D seem to be oversaturated (dark reds are to bright, brown faces look rather pinkish).
This is in comparison to the orignal objects, to the JPGs generated from the KoMi Raw converter and to the in-camera JPGs.
Since Lightroom has tremendous color tuning options (under HSL and Color), I wonder whether a camera-specific profile can make the colors more natural. Has anybody tried for the KoMi cameras? Can anybody share a profile?
I don't have a color checker, so this would be a tough one for me. I tried a bit, but whenever one color seemed right, another color had become worse.
Here is my equipment:
Cameras: Konica Minolta A2, Minolta A1, Konica Minolta Maxxum 5D.
Other: My room has fluorescent tubes of type 950 (5000K, highest quality, Philips Graphica Pro) or of course daylight from outside. My screen is calibrated using ColorPlus hardware. I used a grey card for most of my photos. JPGs viewed with IMatch (color-profile aware).

Hallo Uli,
there are two aspects of the color deviation:
1. Displaying colors in LR
This is what you are addressing in the other thread. I can confirm this behavior, but let's not touch this matter here.
2. Raw conversion
This is what I am talking about in this post. The effect is actually larger than the display deviation.

Martin

Colors not printing correctly with c410a.

Estimated ink levels show all as almost full. Print quality diagnostic report does not show anything for cyan.

The troubleshooting steps in this document may help. Make sure the vents are not clogged on the cyan ink supply. If the previous does not resolve the issue this post may help.

Spot colors not showing correctly in acrobat 11

Spot colors not showing correctly in the output preview as well as the page correctly. I have a spot pms
295 on a page in a few different areas of text and backgrounds. The spot color shows on 1 of my backgrounds
and text and a spot color on another background does not. These items are on the same page. Although I
can use the eyedropper to check the color of these items and it states the spot color is present. The page
also prints correctly. Previews not happening.

I included 3 screen shots from Acobat 11 of the test requested. Also, included the last screen shot from Acobat 9 of same file.
Which shows correct preview. To eliminate possible ICC profile issue. I did change profiles to all that were in the profile list
with no change in either test.

Colors not printing correctly. Only blue and black work.

I just got a new HP OfficeJet all in one inkjet 8620 printer. The colors aren't printing correctly. Everything comes out light blue with black lettering. I tried installing new cartridges (genuine HP) and also tried gently shaking the cartridges. But the problem persists.

Hi @Iolanthe ,
I see that you are experiencing issues with the colors not printing correctly. I would like to help you resolve this issue.
I have provided a document with some steps to try to see if that will resolve the issue.
Fixing Print Quality Problems for the HP Officejet Pro 8610, 8620, 8630, 8640, and 8660 e-All-in-One...
Please let me know the results of the Print Quality Diagnostic Page?
If the test pages are printing properly, it could be a software issue.
What operating system are you using? Mac OS X: How Do I Find Which Mac OS X Version Is on My Computer?
Check the driver name that is installed for the printer. Make sure it shows just the printer's name.
Click the Apple menu and then click System Preferences. Click Printers & Scanners, highlight the printer name on the left side and on the right side of the screen it should show the printer's name. (Officejet 8620)
If the full printer name isn't listed correctly, delete it and add the printer name back in from the list. Click the - sign to delete the driver and then click the + sign to add the driver, might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name to add it in.
Let me know how the printer name was listed.
From the application, make sure you are selecting the proper paper type.
Try another application to see if you have the same issue.
How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet/Wireless)
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a great day!

Hey quantum info,
Thank you for posting at Adobe forums. We would love to help you out.
Could you please let me know if you have tried converting other web pages to PDF and checked if the same issue persists.
How have you been trying to convert the web page to PDF?
Are you trying to convert to PDF directly via browsers or using "File > Create > PDF from Web Page" option in Acrobat.
Let me know more so that I can analyze where actually the issue persists.
Hope to hear from you.

Navigation Drop Down Menu Does Not Appear Correctly with Internet Explorer.

Hi,
and you should then iron out this minor inaccuracy, which I found in your source code, for example here:
<div align="center"><a class="MenuBarItemSubmenu" href="hays.html">HAYS</a>
        <ul>
          <li><a href="hayswalkingtour.html">Walking Tour</a> </li>
          <li><a href="forthays.html">Fort Hays</a></li>
        </ul>
All your "first" entries have to show a '#", like this:
      <div align="center"><a class="MenuBarItemSubmenu" href="#">HAYS</a>
        <ul>
          <li><a href="hayswalkingtour.html">Walking Tour</a> </li>
          <li><a href="forthays.html">Fort Hays</a></li>
        </ul>
      </div>
after that you can link to the individual subgroups. See here e.g. (screenshots from my German DW):

IPhoto events not syncing correctly with iPhone

Hello,
Basically, my iPhoto events are not syncing correctly with my iPhone. Some events will sync, whereas others won't, though no error messages are ever displayed.
I have all my photos, 961 photos in 34 events, organised in iPhoto, however iTunes doesn't seem to recognise all of these events, only reporting 881 photos. I've got iTunes set up to "Sync photos from iPhoto - All events" and this works for most events, but not all.
On my iPhone, I can tell which events are missing, but no matter how many times I restart my Mac or sync my iPhone, it refuses to sync the few missing albums. There is over 4Gb of available space left on the iPhone, so this shouldn't be an issue.
Many thanks in advance.
Peter.

Any ideas, please? I hope I explained my issue clearly enough.
Thank you,
Peter.

Raw conversion color differences

Yes, I know that Adobe had to guess at how raw files are encoded (I shoot Nikon)a and that perfect color conversion should not be expected but...
I started with Capture NX2 and while I loved the quality of pictures I could get from it, it was very slow and cumbersome, and publishing photos was not possible.
I switched to LR3 and found the photo management (publishing, collections, etc) to be marvelous (maybe other products have it as well, but I found my happy place. However, I noticed that even with a calibrated monitor the colors were not right. Below are two pictures labeled cnx2 and LR3. The CNX2 version was processed to include "bluing" the sky. Not much else was done. The LR3 version (done as a training aid until this was found) is unprocessed except for an X-rite color checker profile applied (more on this later). Notice how the CNX2 red has turned pink or magenta in the LR3 version. To try and fix the pink, I bought an X-Rite color checker and installed their plugin for creating profiles. Made no significant difference. This is really bothering me. Sure with some skills I haven't yet acquired I may be able to target the red and fix it, but to do it correctly I'd need to know what It's supposed to look like, and I had hoped to no longer require the use of CNX2 so that wouldn't be the case. I'm considering going back to CNX2 for raw conversions and maybe capture sharpening (I'm more comfortable with CNX2 capture sharpening numbers than I am with LR3).
CNX2
LR3/ACR 6.x
Thoughts? Suggestions?

Really, people tend to give Nikon and Canon far too much credit...in fact, they just barely got this stuff to work. I will say the cameras and sensors are pretty darn impressive...their image processing knowledge, not so much.
Canon does seem to know how to make pleasing images and get the most out of their data.
Some examples: Canon does a better job, in some ways, at rescuing partial overexposure (compare sunset images). And they know how to put a raw converter in a piece of silicon that runs in a tiny fraction of a second.
But these things aren't really important... The real issue is even simpler:
If all you did was make the default profile for each camera produce the same colors the cameras themselves produce, while still providing all the same configurability and features, you'd cease to get complaints about colors being "off".
Whether you think the cameras produce "good" color or the camera company engineers know anything about color is irrelevant.
No one would be harmed by this, but you'd stop confusing customers who expect one thing and see another.

XZ-1 Orange color not accurate?

Hi,
I just searched the forum, nobody seems to raise this issue yet.
I have an Olympus XZ-1, after I use Lightroom 6.4 RC for a few days, I realize that the orange color developed in RAW is noticibly different from the Jpeg color. At beginning, I thought was a difference due to the saturation and special "olympus color".
But after a careful examination, I realize the olympus color is accurate compares to the real thing, the RAW seems a bit off.
I took an example to illustrate this.
This is the JPEG version, notice the cap of the creme is orange. This color looks very close to the real thing.
This is developed in Lightroom with default setting, the cap looks yellowish.
The difference is quite huge, I need to set the yellow hue to -60 to roughly match the jpeg.
Just for an extra confirmation, the one above is developed from RAW using the default setting of Capture One. The cap color looks the same as the JPEG and the real thing.
This happens in all kind of lighting situations, might not be the white balance problem.
Can anyone have a look into this? The orange just looks like yellow.
Regards,
Luke

With the Adobe Standard profile, Adobe's job is not trying to duplicate camera processing in P mode as you say. It is going for a look that is consistent across all the camera brands and models it has dealt with over the years, and historically probably geared toward commercial magazine and catalog print output where clothing colors being correct for the end consumer are the most important, so using Adobe Standard probably won't produce images like the in-camera JPGs.
For Canon and Nikon cameras and a very few others, Adobe makes some effort to replicate in-camera JPG processing with additional "camera-match" profiles. Because your camera is from a less common manufacturer, Adobe has chosen not to produce camera-matching profiles for it, and you're left to beg from others or create your own with third-party color-targets and software.
You will find that producing your own color profiles with an x-rite color checker passport may also not match the in-camera JPG, since you're not involving JPGs in the process, only RAWs converted to DNG. But it should make the colors look more correct as far as the original scene, to the extent that using a 18-color-patches + 6 grays can cover the full spectrum of color, and this correctness may or may not be right for a particular scenario.
I helped with a wedding last summer and dutifully took a few shots of the color checker at various points in the church to get the mixture of daylight, artificial light, and a touch of multi-colored stained-glass coloring things here and there. However, I ended up using Adobe's Camera-Standard (camera-match) profile for my Canon DSLR, because my own custom profiles brightened the colors too much.
Specifically, the church had neutral-colored walls along the sides, and various colors of artificial high-pressure lighting overhead, and one set of bulbs in particular had an ugly yellowish cast, so wherever this artificial lighting was close to the wall, there was a yellowish area compared to the more bluish diffused daylight elsewhere. For this particular shoot, it was more important to minimize the saturation of this ugly yellow area than it was the have all the colors correct.
I was able to almost neutralize the yellowish areas by selective HSL adjustments in LR where by using the Camera-Standard profile there was less of this color to remove so it was easier. Had I not taken so many pictures, and had more time to experiment, I might have found a set of tweaks to the RGB adjustment sliders beneath my own custom profile would have also minimized the yellowish area, but I spent my time perfecting various things for each photo, rather than perfecting the color profile for all of them. In this photoshoot, having the correct colors was less important than having pleasing photos.
Most of my photos are natural scenes, outdoors so I almost always prefer my own custom profile(s) for these.

Color not displaying correctly

ive recently noticed that my colors arent displaying correctly ive already deleted the Illustrator settings folder to reset all preferences to default but the color problem is still happening i have my color ooptions this way
im using adobe illustrator cs5
Color to CMYK
Color Guide: Show Tins/Shades
this is what i mean im trying to get the color i see in the color picker

The Color Picker is unreliable for choosing colors based on what you see because it is not color managed while Color panel and Swatches are.
In your image, the color that you see in the Color Picker is how your monitor displays R=0 G=255 B=0. The color that you see in the Color Panel represents the same values in the file but the color management sends different values to the video card and thus to the monitor to display a color with appearance in the color space selected for the document. In your image this is a CMYK color space which you can check from the Show popup menu at the bottom left of the document window. To check the different values the video card is using, make a screen capture, save the image, open it in Illustrator and measure the color with the eyedropper. The color translation from the values in the file to the video card allows simulation of color spaces other than your monitor's. This simulation is accurate if you have a monitor profile installed in your system that correctly describes how your monitor displays colors. Such profile is created by using a color measuring device and profiling software. If your monitor profile (color space) installed in the system is the same as the color space of the document then there will be no translation (simulation) which in effects shuts down the color management - then the colors in the Color Picker will be the same as in the document. Many people do not bother to get an accurate profile of their monitor and use a generic sRGB profile for that. In such case working in RGB color mode using the sRGB color space (default in the Color Settings) will give the same colors in the Color Picker and the document. This usually is a sign of using a monitor that incorrectly displays colors.

IPhone Calendar not syncing correctly with iCal since Lion-install

Since installing Lion, the calendar on my iPhone is not syncing correctly:
Events created on my iPhone don't show on my Mac
Events edited on my iPhone don't change on my Mac
Events that I created in iCal on my Mac, for test-purposes, and then deleted immediately, show up on the iPhone when syncing.
Syncing through iTunes (not MobileMe).
Using WeekCal on my iPone, but it seems that the same is the case with the "original" calendar-app.
No similar experience prior to Lion-install.
iPhone is iOS 4.3.4 -up to date
Any ideas? Does anybody know how to reset the sync, for instance?

Hi, my name is Lucas, i'm an Apple Certified Technitian.
Last couple of weeks i've installed OSX Lion in a few Macs.
But one of them drove me crazy!
I have a Late 2007 White Macbook and i installed OSX Lion last week. I also have an iPhone 4 (Factory Unlocked) that i also updated to IOS 4.3.5 ... no problems syncing between them
Then i did the same with a 13'' Unibody MacBook Pro and an iPhone 4 (not unlocked)... no problems neither
Yesterday i installed Lion on a Mid2010 15" MacBook Pro and updated another iPhone 4 (Factory Unlocked) to IOS 4.3.5 and when i tried to sync the iphone with iTunes 10.4 nothing happened.
I mean, nothing.. the iTunes started syncing and when it gets to sync the calendars it stayied there forever.
I left it for hours and nothing.
As i said i'm an ACT so i tried everything.
1- Remove Calendars from iPhone and syncing again
1- Repair Permittions
2- Reinstall iTunes
3- Reset iTunes and iCal Preferences and Caches
4- Backup iCal - erase ical content and generate a new iCal database
5- Reset Syncing Prefs and logs
6- Use DiskWarrior from an external OSX
7- Reset PRAM
Nothing worked.
I thought it could be some conflict with Microsoft Outlook and/or Exchange server since this Mac is the only one of the three macs i installed that uses Outlook Sync and Exchange server and it's the only one that gave me trouble.
But disableing it didn't worked neither.
THE SOLUTION
I Already solved this thing out. But i still don't understand the logic of all this... anyway, what y did is this:
1- turn off microsoft outlook sync with iCal (from outlook preferences)
2- Backed up iCals (Just in case)
3- Create a new Calendar Category (by default you have Work and Home... i created one called Test)
4- i Created a new task at that calendar
5- In iTunes uncheck the "Sync iCal" box and sync the iPhone
6- Check th "Sync iCal" box, then check the "sync the selected calendars" box
7- Check the "Test" calendar and sync the iPhone.
This worked so i started creating task in this Test Calendar both in iphone and mac, just to test it, Worked fine.
Then i selected all the other calendars (Home - Work - etc) and i turned on the outlook sync
Then i synced the iPhone and Voilà everything is working again.
Now i can create task in outlook calendar and when y sync the iphone it appears on it.
I don't know what the problem is... but this looks like the solution
HOpe it works for you!

Is prompted filter not working correctly with calculated items

Hello,
I am working on OBIEE 11.1.1.3 and having problem problem linking 2 analisys with action link
The test case is:

2. Conto 1 Dsc (in RPD i set up the property Descritor ID of -> Conto 1 Code)
3. Conto 2 Code
4. Conto 2 Dsc (in RPD i set up the property Descritor ID of -> Conto 2 Code)
5. Conto Detail
and 1 measure on the fact table
1. Revenue (defined on RPD as simple sum)
On presentation layer i have the analisys:
1.
The First one using as Criteria: Conto 1 Dsc | Conto 2 Dsc | Revenue
The layout is a table with sub-total on Conto 1 Dsc
On Revenue i created an action link to the second analisys containing
2.
Criteria: Conto 1 Dsc | Conto 2 Dsc | Conto Detail | Revenue
Filters: Conto 1 Code (is prompted) | Conto 2 Code (is prompted)
This pair of analisys are working fine.
Then i created a second pair of analisys as:
1.
Criteria: Conto 2 Dsc | Revenue
Using Calculated group \ Items i created a numerous set of sub-totals
On Revenue i created an action link to the second analisys containing
2.
Criteria: Conto 2 Dsc | Conto Detail | Revenue
Filters: Conto 2 Code (is prompted)
This pair of analisys are not working correctly. When i drill from first analisys to second one the Conto 2 Code filter is not used.
Replacing in the second analisys Conto 2 Code (is prompted) with Conto 2 Dsc (is prompted) a filter is being generated on the drill but it's using the Conto 2 Code value and the analisys ends with no results.
Thanks,
Jonni

Try adding Conto 2 code to the first analysis and keep the filter on the second analysis as Conto 2 code is prompted.

ITunes still not syncing correctly with iPhoto 9.4.3

Since upgrading to version 9.4.x, iTunes hasn't been syncing correctly with iPhoto. There were duplicated events/albums, missing photos, photos not appearing in the same order on iOS devices as they do in iPhoto, etc.
With each version upgrade since 9.4, this seems to have been improving bit by bit. I have just upgraded to 9.4.3, and now photos appear in the same order as they do in iPhoto. The only problem left for me, is that there are still photos missing in iTunes. Which photos that are missing seems to be completely random.
I have tried rebuilding the library, which made matters a lot worse. Using 3rd party software like iPhoto library manager to rebuild the library didn't help either (iTunes syncing became a total mess, even more photos were missing afterwards).
I hope by version 9.4.4, iTunes will read all info correctly from iPhoto again, as it did in version 9.3.2. Anyone else still experience problems?

Sorry about that. Well, I've tried deleting the AlbumData.xml file as suggested also, but iPhoto itself generates a new file every time it's opened, so that's really a dead end. Rebuilding the library and through iPhoto Library Manager are the steps that required most work, and both did not work either, unfortunately.
I do believe that I'm not the only experiencing iTunes syncing problem, as there have been many posts here before when 9.4 came out. Like I wrote, it has been better with each upgrade, so there's definitely something in the coding with 9.4.x that messes things up. I had no trouble whatsoever with version 9.3.2 and prior to that.
Terence Devlin wrote:
Please share a comprehensive list of things you've already tried so we won't your time - and ours - making suggestions you already know won't work.
