Retouched photo wrong color

I want to use this photo for a web site however the logo has pantone blue in it and it doesn't match but the photo matches the overall theme.  There are 2 things wrong with this picture.  One is it is faded out on the top  edge and the other is I would like the colors to change to steel blue, indigo, red, pinks or purples instead of the warm tones. I like the warm tones but it doesn't fit with the logo.   My question is where do I start?  Do I need to use the marching ants?  What else? Is it possible to add back into the picture what was faded out?  I have no idea where the original photo is.   There was a brochure done but the artist kept the originals.  It may be from stock photos but I don't know where.  There is another question if you download photos from stock photos aren't they jpegs?  Don't you need to start with a photoshop file?  You can't really resize a jpeg.  Any advice would be appreciated.

How did you obtain the photograph? As for restoring the faded area I would think it would e better to get the original file from the photographer and start from there.

  • Photosmart premium 320 not printing good photos wrong colors sharp but loss of detail never befo

    i have a photosmart premium about 3 yrs old.   always got good results when printing photos but now photos are printing with extremely saturated colors, loss of some detail but main subject is very sharp as it should be.   i've used photoshop elements 8 as well as other editing programs.   i don't know why this is happening now.   i've got through all the steps that i can possibly do - that i know of but it's getting frustrating even though some of the effects are quite interesting (but i don't what them)    For example, a picture of a plant was great but the background came out aqua.  another plant was in front of a white fence and the fence is purple - it was white.   a picture of a waterfall was nice but the foliage wa a duller green and the rocks and water are purple (pretty but not right).    I don't know what i'm doing.    I've tried this in Photoshop Essentials 8 and other editing programs and it's always the same.    what can it do as i've never had this problem before. 

    What model of printer do you have? I am not familiar with a Photosmart Premium 320. Is this a small photo printer that is white, or a full size printer?

  • Printing in Lightroom Produces Wrong Colors

    I have searched these forums and found a couple of topics that have to do with incorrect or wrong colors being printed by Lightroom but none of the suggestions proposed seemed to help. So, I think that I have something else going on that is causing me problems.
    The vital statistics: I am using Lightroom 1.4.1 on Vista Home Premium with an HP C7280 All-in-One printer. The pictures I am trying to print are DNGs converted by Lightroom. When printing in Lightroom, I select the option to have the color managed by the printer.
    Basically, any picture that I print from Lightroom looks darker than the original. So, I tried a couple of different tests to try to find out what is going on. I exported a picture to a jpeg and printed that with the Microsoft Office Picture Manager and it printed fine.
    I was curious what would happen if the photo was printed from Photpshop CS3. So, I created a copy of the DNG file from Lightroom and edited it in Photoshop. I printed the picture from Photoshop with the color set to be managed by the printer, and Photoshop also printed the photo with a dark look. I then changed the Color Handling to "Photoshop Manages Color" and the Printer Profile to sRGB, and the picture printed perfectly.
    In addition, I tried printing jpgs from Lightroom, and I got the same dark results. Any suggestions as to what is going on will be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance!

    Unfortunately, Lightroom cannot print to this specific printer without tricks. The reason is that HP does not provide color management in the driver (which is why you have to use sRGB in Photoshop - shudder!) and does not provide icc profiles for it. This is HP not providing good drivers for their consumer-oriented printers, and Lightroom expecting at least reasonably modern printer drivers. Photoshop will print to anything by using the working space fall back that really is a hack. Unfortunately, Lightroom does not provide the same hack. In your case, there is a trick you can use, which is to find the "HP color Laserjet RGB" icc profile that HP ships with their laserprinter drivers. It is just an sRGB profile masquerading as a printer profile. If you use that in the profile field in Lightroom, it
    should work.

  • Flash Player (Web Export) showing wrong colors

    Cheers!
    Sometimes when I look at my exported galeries I'm not satisfied regarding the colors. Up to today I thought that this is based on my week skills in developing photos.
    But that seems to be wrong! Please helpt me with the following:
    I'm exporting via Web Module using a simple viewer template (which uses the adobe flash player to display images). Now I fire up that little web page in my browser (safari or firefox in my case) and compare what I see with what I see in lightroom (library module). I can notice a very severe difference in the color presentation. Next I start a second browser window and place it beside the one showing the flash player galery exported before. Within that browser window I call the image from the image folder within the exported web page and compare both. Hence! It does not look like the same.
    To illustrate that I shot the following a couple of minutes ago:
    http://minolta.karlos.at/test.png
    On the left you see the lightroom web galery (simple viewer) and on the right the jpeg picture itself. (You can try that by starting the web galery and then click on the photo and launch it with the command "open picture in new window"
    Weird!
    Is that behaviour known and is there any solution to avoid this wrong color display?
    Thanks!
    C.

    Flash is not color managed (although in the latest version you can somehow turn it on I understand) so it will never show the right color ever. That said, if you have a good display but not so good it has a wide gamut, and you calibrate correctly at gamma 2.2, you should see very similar color. The problem on Macs that have not been calibrated is that the default gamma is wrong (even Apple says this) and they have to be calibrated to be right. Normally Safari color manages so the gamma of most images gets automaticaly corrected, but it cannot color manage flash.
    That said, from your screenshot it appears the difference is entirely due to the difference in gamut between your display and sRGB. There is nothing you can do about it but pester Adobe to enable color management for the latest flash versions in the Lightroom flash galleries. Of course nobody that looks at your gallery will actually see the right color anyway as basically nobody calibrates their screen and most people do not even use color managed browsers.

  • I use an iMac running V. 10.10.2.  I have an Epson WP-4530 printer.  Is there a printer driver that will enable one to print photos from color negatives?

    I use an iMac running V. 10.10.2.  I have an Epson WP-4530 printer.  Is there a printer driver that will enable one to print photos from color negatives?
    I have already tried downloading the drivers from Epson as per one person's suggestions, but the dialog box isn't anything like what was suggested--the choices in the box weren't the same for the most part.  I don't want to lock up the computer or disable the printer for normal printing, but I have a lot of old negatives that I would love to have prints from.

    I am using the latest software from Epson for Mac OS 10.10.2 that I downloaded last week.  I seem to remember that the older software (we're talking 6-8 years ago) had to option to scan slides or negatives and would convert the results into positives via the scanner.  I don't like the most recent scanning software because it jumps right into the scan before giving you a chance to change the options.  It uses the selected options from the previous scan which are sometimes right, sometimes wrong.  Thanks for your reply to my question!

  • Images Shown In Wrong Colors

    Hello,
    I have a problem in Lightroom.
    I just Lightroom 3 a try, only it turns out the colors of the images aren't displayed correctly.
    It gives this darker and sort off green-heavy version of the originals.
    It's kind of funny cause they look like film-photos developed badly or something.
    Anyway, some time ago I tried an earlier version of Lightroom and I think at first the colors were fine,
    later it turned into what I just described because I believe I touched something.
    So does anyone know how I can get the colors to be displayed correctly?
    Please note, I did a fresh install of Lightroom and removed anything Lightroom-related before.
    And all colors  outside Lightroom or even the look of the panels of Lightroom and such are correct.
    So all image-viewers, all videos, all other media... they all look right.
    Even in Photoshop, where I had a similar issue too but it was some colorspace-setting or something.
    But apparently Lightroom doesn't have that?
    Oh, AND I found that when I'm at the import-interface, the thumbnails of the images are shown correctly.
    Then when I select the ones I want and actually import them to use they're not the same anymore.
    If anyone has a clue, or the solution of course, that would be great.
    Cause this is really unfortunate, I was looking forward to using this,
    especially now I have a camera that supports RAW, I wanted to develop them in Lightroom.
    (Oh yeah, the images I tried were simply JPEG-photos by the way.)
    Greetings...

    OK, I understand it quite a bit better now, thanks for all your posts.
    But I did have an issue with Photoshop (CS3 as in the screenshot) a couple of months ago.
    I'm not sure what it looked like, but it was also this issue with wrong colors.
    Then I messed around with those "Proof"-settings and set it to the "monitor"-one.
    I guess that's the same as using no color-profiles? As they (Ps & Lr) look identical now I mean...
    I'm not sure what it was set to before by the way, I think it was set to a certain profile too.
    Then I kinda steered away from choosing a profile and selected that "monitor"-option I guess.
    Sorry, can't remember exactly, but you probably know what I mean.
    At least I can go ahead a bit with Lightroom now.
    As long as I keep the original shots I guess there can't go much wrong.
    Also, if I print something, would it be a good idea to match the look of the monitor closer to the print?
    At least, if it's off way too much. Or should I check if a specific printer uses no or a correct profile too somewhere?
    I do have a nice standalone which is set to sRGB too I believe.
    It is funny that I get the prints almost exactly to what they look like on the monitor or camera.
    Anyway, I háve been playing around with something called RivaTuner,
    which can tweak and load color-profiles on startup, I guess it's similar to what calibration-software would be like?
    But I think I turned the loading of those settings off a while ago too though.
    Cause it was always "a tad too red, a tad too blue, a tad too green" or whatever for my eyes,
    so I thought I'd stop messing with it and leave it neutral which would probably be better anyway...

  • Iphoto book... cover was the wrong color

    I just bought 9 iphoto books and they turned out awesome! Except one thing. 4 of the books I ordered have the wrong colored cover!!! When my husband called the apple customer support, they said they couldn't do anything about it! I spent $53 on each book, so you can imagine my frustration when I didn't get the book I had made. I figured apple was a company that backed their products, especially since this was a negligent error on their part(it says right on the invoice "black" but they sent me red books!) Has anyone delt with a problem like this?? Please help

    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application, iPhoto dB file backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • IMac/Snow Leopard choosing wrong color profile?

    Hey guys,
    I am a wedding photographer and I calibrated my iMac twice a month with a Spyder 3 calibrator. I have noticed a few times, that even though I have chosen the color profile I have created with the Spyder 3, sometimes my iMac does NOT have that color profile selected. It seems like it reverts back to the standard iMac color profile at times - with no explanation. Is this a bug, or am I the user doing something to cause this to happen: log out, shutdowns, etc.
    I am really unsure, so if anyone has a solution or explanation for this that would be great! Once I retouched a whole session using the wrong color profile (I didn't know it had changed) and it was a disaster.

    The file that holds which monitor profile is being used may be corrupt. You can remove this file from the Preferences folder of your user account:
    com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    Place it in the trash, or just to the desktop and restart. Or log out and log back in. The OS will create a new preference file.
    This file holds various settings, so you may notice other items in the System Preferences back at their defaults.
    As to your calibration habits, every other week is overkill for LCD monitors. This was the case with CRTs where every other week, or at minimum once a month was normal. CRTs drift from their settings much faster than LCDs. Every other month with an LCD is more than sufficient.

  • IPhoto unable to export EXIF information correctly for photos with color filters

    I have imported photos from my phone to iPhoto and noticed that some of the photos do not have EXIF information when exporting to other places or synced back to iPhone.When I am trying to view the photo in iPhoto, the date is correctly shown.
    The date shown in the iPhone photo moment tab is the import date rather than the original date when the photos were taken.
    When I am trying toview the photo in iPhoto, the date is correctly shown.
    (for example: the photo was taken in Dec 1, 2012, imported to iPhoto in Nov 1, 2014, and synced back to iPhone.
    the date shown in iPhone is Nov 1, 2014, the date shown in iPhoto is Dec 1, 2012.)
    After further looking into the details of the photo, i have noticed that theses photos are taken with color filters in iPhone or bursting photos or panoramas.
    (e.g a mono or fade filter choosed when taking photo in iPhone camera).
    When choose " reveal in finder" option in iPhoto for these photos, there are two options : view original or modified.
    the original files contain EXIF information and the modified files do not.
    the original files show photo without color filter
    the modified files shows photo with color filter, the modified photos are what the photos were contained in iPhone originally.
    When exported syncing these photos, the modified files was exported/synced, however, no EXIF information was exported. photos only contains the creation date.
    These resulted in a mess in the photo collection in my phone. photos were displayed in wrong order.
    When i export these photo to another location for back up purposes, i choose "include all location information, name, keyword", only the modified photos were exported without any EXIF information.
    The only way I found is reveal these photos in finder.
    iPhoto seems unable to export/sync photos that are taken with color filters/ panorama photos/ bursting photos.
    is there any way to solve this problem? Thank you!

    i have just taken a photo with effects and imported to iPhoto, The EXIF can be exported. The problem is syncing.
    I think this problem only happen to photo taken before iOS 8.
    EXIF of photo with effects unable be synced back to iPhone.
    Apple acknowledged that the new Photos.app in iOS 8 is handling edits differently, see:
    iPhoto and Aperture don't have edits to photos you import from iOS 8 devices
    In iOS 8 edited versions are stored in a different way from previously. And it looks like there is now a bug, that prevents the older edited versions from being handled correctly.
    Send a bug report to Apple. You could use the feedback form, if you do not have a developer account: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html

  • Psa se 3.2 prints wrong color

    Album will not print photo correctly it is not the printer. Even the print preview shows the print image as the wrong color (it adds a green tint). Any suggestions

    I recently downloaded photoshop 3.2, upgrading from adobe photoshop. I'm very impressed with the auto fix window, and how bright and clear the pictures are, but I, too, am having the same trouble as Ann. When I tried to print off a photo, it came out with a blue tint, so I went back to photo, and reversed auto fix window to original photo. But when I tried to print it again, the photo appeared to be just washed out, with blue tones throughout photo. What can be done to get good color photos?? Thanks

  • Eyedropper in PS CS6 picking wrong color

    My eyedropper started picking the wrong color!  I ahve reset and reinstalled PS - and still have this problem.  No matter what color I click the eyedropper on, it picks a shade darker than what I want.  Anyone have any ideas?  Like I said, I am running PS CS6 on OS Mountain Lion.

    Apart from your Photoshop needing updated to at least 13.0.1, the problem may be that your RGB document, which you're sampling in Photoshop, does not have sRGB profile and/or your Web browser is not colour managed and/or your computer is not using a correctly calibrated monitor profile and/or something else.

  • Wrong colors when printing to HP Colorlaser Jet 4550 PCL 5c

    I just upgraded from Labview 5.1.1 to Labview 6.1 on a Windows 95 Compaq Notebook. All the plot colors in 8 plot XY Graph indicator printed correctly on our network HP Colorlaser Jet 4550 PCL 5c using Labview 5.1.1. When I print the graph in Labview 6.1, sometimes some of the plot colors in the graph are wrong. In fact one of the plot switches color about 2/3 of the way across the X-axis. What is really weird is that the plot colors always print correctly in the legend. The VI prints the graph programically, but I also get the same inconsistent results when I copy the XY Graph to a new VI and use the print window comand in the file menu.
    In my Labview preferences I use standard printing with colors and di
    thering is turn on. The colors are correct when I programically save the front panel to either bmp, jpeg, or png files.
    What causing this strange behavior?

    Greg,
    Thanks for your suggestion; however, it did not solve the problem. I set the line thickest to the maximum. Then I tried with and without dithering. The results were still inconsistent. Sometimes I got the correct colors; othertimes, some plots had the wrong colors. I attached two gif files as examples. The first shows the correct colors. The second shows that the 1st plot is yellow instead of blue. Also the 4th plot is green instead of red for the 1st 80% of the plot. Then it switches to the correct color, red. I have other graphs with different plots with the wrong colors. Notice that the colors in the legend are always correct.
