Recovery Slider and Unblown Colour Shifts

Hello,
I've attached a pair of screen captures of part of an image and part of the lightroom 2.4 develop screen visible.
In the Before image you can see 0 Recovery and R 42.4 G 42.1 B 88.5.
In the after with only the recovery slider moved to 51 you get R 52.5 G 50.3 B 80.5
Why on earth is this unblown portion of the image being colour shifted so much ?
Why is the blue even suffering from the recovery slider when it has quite a way to go before clipping any channel.
The bit that escapes me entirely is the increase in red and green by around 10%, just doesn't make sense.
If it was deemed by the software that blue should be decreased, why shouldn't R & G be treated in the same manner instead of the inverse ?
The red of the cape suffers a similar mess up of blue and green channels.
The whole image appears to suffer Hue shifts including parts that have no channel anywhere near clipping, why ?
Cheers
John

John,
I don't agree that recovery of 51 is way high, it is only just over half the available scale. Although anything over 20 mangled hues before applying DCPtool.
In quite a few images I now have recovery of 100 set, but brightness and or exposure have been adjusted as well to give an overall result I like better than previously. This is possible because the hue is no longer being mangled.
Adjustment brush is an interesting possibility, but I think I'd just use a differnt raw converter that wasn't so difficult. I think the brush would be to blunt to divide the image into adjust / non adjust areas.
Cheers
John

Adobe, please, please do something with significant hue shifts on recovery slider!

I know that this happens due camera profiles have those hue shifts.
After reading DNG specification, I understand inner workflow, but may be there is the possibility to apply camera profile after adjustments of recovery slider?
Huge hue shifts happens especially on skin tones while photo taken on tungsten lights...
Pray on fixing this issue...

Here you go. These settings, for Canon EOS 40D, should bring you a good bit closer to the out-of-camera default JPEG color than center scale settings with the Camera Standard profile.
Please let me know how these settings work for you.

Colour shift problem in CS5 not in Lightroom

Hi Guys,
This is a long post but to save time Ill try to explain my setup and my problem which has only started in the last three weeks. My setup: Win Xp pro SP3 fully updated on a well speced dell machine/ Lightroom 3 (v 33 v 711369) Cs5 (latest version). Fully self profiled (I write my own profiles using xRite Pulse) printing through QImage to Epson 7880. I have been using PS since v5 (approx 10 years) and Cap1 and then lightroom since it came out.
My workflow is simple: Import Nikon D3 raw files to Lightroom, Using either acr or more recently (maybe one change I have made!) Camera standard calibration. Colour correct crop etc and export an adobe RGB jpeg export setting below: Hi Guys,

All good so far. Colours on my profiled monitor are good. If I then print this file through Q image all is good (and this is most of my files!) . Happy days! However if I open in CS5 (Colour settings below-which have not changed for 10 years!) the colour changes. I am getting no profile mismatch warning (I shouldn’t – file is adobe rgb which is my working space). But there is a noticeable colour shift. If I do nothing to the file and resave the colour has shifted. I have tried opening a file/ saving with a different file name and printing the two on the same sheet of paper to eliminate printer issues – the shift that I see on my monitor is there. Why would opening an Adobe RGB jpeg in CS5 change its colour? It certainly never happened before. Also if within Lightroom I click “edit in PS”, open the file and resave the colour has shifted..
((I have also tried preserve embedded profile but this doesn’t solve the issue!)
My workaround is to do lightroom conversion, (colour correct!), Open and edit in CS5 (colour shift) save as different file name, Import into Lightroom (Now says embedded profile (This is correct I think) Do nothing in terms of colour (which now looks correct again!) and export (Wow Correct colour Again!!)
Does anybody know what is going on??
I have used half a roll of paper doing test prints and have established the following:
My monitor profile is correct, (What I see is what I get!)
QImage setting & My printer profile is correct ( What I see is what I get! By printing the two files on the same sheet (this will eliminate printer issues) I can see the CS5 file is very different - as on the monitor)
All lightroom exports are correct (what I see is what I get!)
I also opened a file on CS3 (across a network to a non colour managed machine but with adobe rgb work space, did nothing with the file but resave and the colours shift again!
I attach samples below: The difference reminds me of what an Adobe RGB file looks like on a non colour managed monitor – Flatter (no punch) but also a slightly green
Any Help would be much appreciated!
Thanks, Nigel
NB Also set to do nothing after export!

Very generally, they both describe profiles. ICC is the standard International Color Consortium format for profiles and ICM is Microsoft's flavor (standing for Integrated Color Management, I believe).
Photoshop et. al. are able to use both, but even a name match wouldn't mean the contents are identical. There is some possibility that they actually are equivalent under the covers in this case, and that my spotting the slight difference in names isn't the source of the visible color differences. It is almost certainly why the warning message is being emitted, though.
These may help further with definitions, but are not light reading by any means:

Colour shift in save for web when saving on PC and then viewing on Mac

Hey peeps, I am aware of this colour shift when saving images for web. I have a designer resizing, cropping photos, and then saving on PC. He uses PC and when he sends the photos over to me on my Mac there is a big colour shift (photos are much lighte
Could anyone please explain exactly what he needs to do in order for these photos to look the same as the originals on my computer, basically no lightness shift? Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Adam

Because the WWW is based on untagged (2.2 gamma) sRGB - your genius is probably sending you untagged sRGB if they were Saved for the Web (that's how I prepare my Web color).
Your Mac display should be profiled to 2.2 gamma (you are likely at the old default 1.8 gamma now if you're seeing a lightness shift on untagged sRGB)...if you want "your color" back in Photoshop, you will need to (re)Assign the sRGB profile...

Why have all my Lightroom and Photoshop files just developped an awful colour shift? how do I correc

Why have all my Lightroom and Photogshop files suddenly developped an awful colour shift when they did not have this a week ago? I can open them in other applications and they view correctly. How can I correct this in Lightroom? HELP urgent!!

Antonia,
Probably your monitor profile is corrupt.
If you're on Windows, see here:
http://www.lightroomforums.net/showthread.php?14070-How-to-assign-an-sRGB-ICC-Profile-to-y our-monitor-%28Windows%29
If you're on a Mac, you'll need to try something similar to set your monitor profile to sRGB. NOTE: this is merely a temporary fix. You need to acquire a hardware calibrator (decent ones can be had for around $100) and calibrate your monitor with it.

CS4 recovery slider vs shadow/highlight

Is it my imagination or does the adjust highlight slider in Photoshop CS2 (image/adjust/shadow-highlight/adjust highlights) do the same thing, give the same results as the recovery slider in CS4 Camera Raw 5.0? If not, does anyone know what the difference is? I'm trying my best to retain the blown out whites.
Thanks,
Airpix

The big difference between them is that you can use Recovery on raw files to bring back detail out of pure white because you still have information there (not always but you usually do) while a pure white in Photoshop doesn't have any information in it whatsoever.
The other difference (and i'm not 100% sure about this one) is that the Recovery slider works only on the luminance values (it darkens the highlights) while the Shadows/Highlights is an edge detection filter which is why you get halos when you have a huge amount and a low radius
The best solution would be to make as many tonal adjustments as you want/need in Camera Raw and then open it in Photoshop as a Smart Object (shift+click on Open Image to turn it into Open Object) and apply the Shadows/Highlights filter if you need it.

Colour shift from Snow Leopard to Lion

I initially noticed this problem within Lion and Lightroom 4 when printing to my Epson 4800. The colour shifts to a more pinkish hue in prints done in Lion. I'd originally thought this was unique to Lightroom, but the same thing happens to the same file when printed in Preview, so I'm assuming it ithe rhas something to do with Lion or the Epson printer. I'm wondering if anyone else has had this experience and if they have any suggestions. I've read other threads on this here, and I can confirm it's not a monitor calibration issue, and that my printer driver for the 4800 is the one for Lion, and that everything in Lightroom and the driver is configured identically in both versions of the OS.
I'm stuck, and figure the expertise for this is in this forum, so I'm sorry that it seems to be slightly outside of being an Adobe specific issue, but would appreciate any suggestions. I'm able to replicate the problem consistently by bouncing back and forth between the two operating systems. I'm going to try going back to a previous driver version to see if that makes a difference.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Chris

Problem solved. The previous driver for the printer - the 10.6.8 one, did the trick, so I'm going to assume this is an Epson issue. I have a 9880 here as well and it will be interesting to see if the issue recurs there. Of course, if I've missed anything here, please let me know, but I think this addresses the issue, and hope it helps anyone else who may have it as well.
Cheers, and phew.

Besweet, I'm having the very same problem with 60GB colour which was bought new and worked for 6 months before suddenly just not being recognised by PC. I hadn't changed anything at all.
I've followed all troubleshooting advice and reinstalled and updated iTunes and iPod updater software but all troubleshooting routes seem to hit the dead end of either the need to access the iPod via the PC (which isn't possible as it's not showing up at all) or the iPod in disc mode stuck at "ok to disconnect".
It's still under 1yr warranty so will have to take to a dealer.
I'm sorry that's not much help for you but at least you know it's not a unique problem.

Weird colour shift on TV through HDMI

Hi,
I'm using my TV with XBMC to watch videos on my computer more comfortably, but even since I changed my computer the image get those weird shifts where it goes black for about a second, comes back on looking weird, then about 20 seconds later it's one second of black and then back on as normal again. But if I change channel on my TV when it happens, and then switch back to the HDMI channel corresponding to my computer, the image is fixed. I've tried timing this issue, and it seems to appear roughly every 20 minutes, but it can appear twice in 5 minutes, or not at all in 40...
Because an image is worth a hundred words, I took a picture with my phone during one of these colour shifts, here's what it looks like: http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/3284/imag0063gc.jpg . As you can see by the xbmc menu looking weird too, this is not the video's fault.
I've also tried switching the cable, but the issue remains. I've been using this setup for a while, but as I said, I changed computer recently, and part of this change was going from a nVidia card to an ATI one, more specifically a radeon HD 7870, and I'm using the official AMD driver (which is kind of required, since the free driver apparently doesn't support sound over HDMI for my card yet).
It's probably worth mentioning that my primary display, which is plugged in VGA, does not have this issue. Also, I have a Windows dual-boot, but I have yet to test if this issue also appears on Windows (which is kind of a pain to do, due to the randomness of my issue...).
I've tried googling this for days and have yet to find anyone reporting the same issue, but seeing how English isn't my native language, I might not have used the right keywords...
Because I guess this is relevant, here is my xorg.conf on pastebin: http://pastebin.com/2eWPKnt2 . This was generated using amdcccle, so it should be legit (though I do miss nvidia-settings, amd got some work to do on their GUI tool). Not sure if this is relevant, but just in case : to launch the computer on my TV, I use this xorg.conf (named xorg.conf.TV in my system), and start X with the following command (through an alias, of course):
xinit .xinitrcTV -- /usr/bin/X :1 -config xorg.conf.TV
And my .xinitrcTV containing the following:
setxkbmap fr
xbmc
xterm
So here I am, and I don't really have any idea what I could do to fix this problem... Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My iphone cant restore or update and currently in recovery mood. The story is when i update my iphone from ios 7.0.3 to latest update via itunes and it said my download was corrupt. Then, my iphone being in recovery mood and cant be update.How to..??

I had tried and restore again and again via itunes and it said the same answers. My donwload was corrupt. I try with manual restore (shift + restore) in itunes and it failed already and the popup window said "my iphone cant restore iphone. Unknown error (14)." For now, my iphone still in recovery mood and the logo connect to i tunes appear when i switch on. I tried use another usb, another computer and another port to restore this but all method was failed. What the problem? Help me.

Hi there besiburuk,
You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.

If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
Use another USB cable.
Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
If you checked your connections and are still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues.

Viewing angle (with no colour shift) on new iPad much narrower than older iPads

I just got a new iPad yesterday and the new display's resolution is magical!! I am unfortunately experiencing the yellow tinted screen that others are, but I'm hopeful this will improve over a short time as any glues involved perhaps dry. I THINK perhaps it's already improved though this could be my imagination, hard to tell. It's also clear on a totally black screen that it fails to go as dark as my iPad 2, which itself failed to go as dark as my iPad 1. Still, that resolution, spectacular...
I am however also experiencing a very narrow viewing angle, especially in the vertical direction, it's the most worse when held in normal portrait orientation with the cameras at the top, if I tilt the top of the iPad away from me then the entire screen colour shifts to yellow quite strongly within about 10 degrees or so. I'll shoot some video of it at some point compared to the iPad 2. I wonder if the colour yellow could be linked to the general yellow tint that can be seen on whites even in perfectly straight viewing. But I also wonder if the new retina display just has a much narrower viewing angle without colour shift compared to the older iPads.
Would love to hear how other people's new iPad screens are performing in this regard. Are they all shifting as they're tilting, especially in that vertical tilt I described?
Cheers

I have the same problem. Here is the pic I took to compare with my old iPad 2.

Photoshop to Lightroom Colour Shift

Hi all,
I've recently upgraded from CS5 to CC after purchasing a Nikon D7100 over christmas and thus needing the latest versions fro RAW support (Nikon NEF).
My problem is I am experiencing colour shift between Photoshop and Lightroom after upgrading. I have set Lightroom to use 16-bit ProPhoto RGB images when editing in Photoshop. My computer is a Late 2012 MacMini with an Apple Thunderbolt Display.
I originally posted this in the Photoshop forum and have moved it over here after being recommended to do so.
The image below shows the problem, where the colour is correct in Photoshop, but not in Lightroom.
In the other thread we went through the motions and eliminated:
D7100 Camera Raw Profile
Lens profile
Screen calibration and profile
It seems most likely at this point that Lightroom is applying some kind of alterations to the image settings. If I Right Click a problem image in lightroom and say "edit in photoshop with lightroom adjustments" that colours appear incorrect in photoshop, too.
Can anyone make any suggestions here? I can't seem to get anything I shot last weekend out of lightroom with the correct colours!
Thanks,
Dan.

A “raw” HDR image has darks that are too dark to see detail in and lights that are too bright to see any detail in. The process of “tone mapping” is what scrunches all the floating point values into the normal range of black to white. Once an image is tone mapped its pixel values all fall into the range of zero to whatever the maximum value is for white in a 16-bit or 8-bit format and it can be saved as such. The 32-bit floating point image is supposed to be temporary on the way to an 8- or 16-bit image. Personally I save the original 32-bit image in a separate file from the tone-mapped 16- or 8-bit image so I can always go back and revisit the tone mapping operation.
LR supports 32-bit images otherwise you would see nothing. Here is a discussion about why things look different that includes Eric Chan, an Adobe Raw Engineer, to someone bringing up a similar concern a little over a year ago:
ttp://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/lightroom_preview_of_hdr_tonemapped_i mage_doesnt_match_what_is_shown_in_photoshop_acr
It used to be that Photoshop was the only Adobe product that could open 32-bit files and tone-map them to 16- or 8-bits and I would argue that it did an unsatisfying job. Eventually this capability was added to LR and the ACR plug-in for Photoshop which does a better job, but being raw converters, the starting point looks brighter on screen.
Photomatix is a payfor product that also does a good job with both merging and tone-mapping to 16- or 8-bits. It comes with both a standalone and a plug-in interface. There are others, but Photomatix is the one I’ve tried in the past.
