Scanned images in LR and PS look different.

A friend and I are both having the exact same problem (he on a Mac, me on a PC):
Scanned black and white images, saved as PSD, look significantly different in Lightroom and Photoshop. Note the attached screenshots showing the LR images as darker. When printed, the images are still different. So this clearly has nothing to do with monitor calibration. And profiles are the same.

Do you have PS Color Profile Mismatch Warnings enabled. Here's what I use:
When opening a file in PS that uses a different color profile than my working space the following will appear:
Under 'What would you like to do' select the above setting to see the image as it appears inside LR. If the problem persists it would help if you can post an image with the problem to a file sharing site such as Dropbox. We can then check it on our own systems. Upload any image that exhibits the issue.

Pantone Bridge and Solid looks different on screen

Why the same Pantone Coated colour looks different on screen between the Bridge palette and the Solid palette. If I compare the same colour on the 2 printed coated palettes, they look the same

Thank you so much for responding! Here are answers & below screenshot of my Distiller settings:
Platform = Windows
Frame version = 8
Rendering workflow = I print to .ps and then distill to PDF.
What settings in Distiller? I tried the "Tag all images for color management" in Distiller with sRGB selected as the color model, but it still came out lime---however, when I chose "Convert All Colors to CMYK" it kept the green color BUT then greyed out my images!!! I have attached a screenshot of the settings---can you see it?
sRGB = The artist had no idea was sRGB was (he is not really helpful at all...).
Any suggestions on how to get my images back...? Thanks so much.

Scanned images, borders, cropping and "auto enhance"

Afternoon.
I'm converting old slides / negatives to digital, and am aiming to store the results in aperture.
I'm still fighting through the manuals etc. and trying to work out a workflow that works for me between Silverfast and Aperture. One of the decisions to make is where / how to do the first pass "auto improve" steps. I'm keeping the "raw" scan (HDRi, 64bTIFF etc.) to reprocess the ones I'm really interested in later, but I'd like as automatic / quick a process as possible to actually get the images into Aperture, and looking OK, first.
Many of the images have some black or white borders from the edge of the slide holder / curved corner of the slide being included in the original scan (the "autocropping" in Silverfast is kind of rubbish).
How does "auto enhance" work with regard to this non-photo information? Do I need to crop before hitting "auto enhance" (so it's not factoring in the edges?)? Can it be automatically "refreshed" after cropping? Any other advice?
I know some of the manuals on silverfast mention needing to crop this stuff out before using their "auto enhance" like features, but it's another time consuming process, and something I'd rather be able to undo (i.e. uncrop if I decide later I want the original curved corners / edge detail back).
Hope that made some sense.
Thanks.

I'll correct my answer. It's simpler than I thought and works well.
In Acrobat X I can use Tools/Recognize Text/ Aa In This File which will deskew and process page(s) for OCR, i.e. make it a searchable document. When I do this on a multiple manually scanned document which has pages upside down,
the deskew rotates them 180 degrees, that is corrects the manual scan orientation.
This worked with pages of both landscape and portrait, but haven't tried with 'sideways' manual scan.
All the incorrect pages were upside down. There's also a selection to do this with Aa Multiple files, which I haven't tried.
The deskewing in the others I've tried with this menu choice have all been accurately straightened and the text of all kinds remarkably is not only searchable but can be copied and pasted into other documents/applications with Control C and Control V.

Saving files in PS and they look different in Bridge

I am opening files from Bridge into PS CC that have been altered in ACR recently, making changes (cropping, tonal values inc exposure, one with a Curve adjustment and layer mask for further control) and saving them to another folder under the same directory/folder. When I go back to Bridge the image either shows no changes or it's lighter and looks like I've made some very distructive corrections. Opening it again in PS and it looks perfectly okay. Windows 7 platform. What can be going on? Thank you in advance for your help. Joe

I have restarted my computer and the same issue remained.
I closed Bridge again. Reopened it while holding down Ctrl to possibly reset the Prefs. However, I didn't like the way the options read so selected Cancel.
Everything seems to be functioning correctly now.
I don't know what happened or why and would certainly appreciate any insight as to what might have happened.
I'm no newbie to PS nor Bridge as have been using them since mid 90s. Don't remember anything like this before.
Thanks again for any feedback.
Joe

Why does 44k and 88k look different?

hi,
ive been using some 88k files for high qual recording, now i want all my files at 44k, so i convert them all, but looking the wave overview the 'level' appears to have dropped to nearly 50% of what it was for each file.
is this just a visual artefact of the way logic shows sample rates, it doesnt sound any quieter.

although the sounds are identical in level shown in any level meter i have.....they 'look' different on screen.
the 88k>44k convert is at the top compared to the original 88k file below it.....this seems to be a naormal artefact as this often happens when i use pitch time machine to change some samples' speeds......

Image viewed in Photoshop CC looks different when viewed in Elements 11 Organizer, why?

I'm viewing a Nikon raw file (.nef) in Bridge CC, Camera Raw, and then in Photoshop CC. In Camera Raw I've made some adjustments before viewing it in Photoshop. For cataloging I prefer to use Photoshop Elements 11 Organizer (there are several reasons why that I won't go into here). When I get the image looking the way I want it to look in Photoshop and subsequently view the image in Elements Organizer the image in Organizer is not a good match to what is displayed in Photoshop. I particularly notice that nice blue sky tones appearing in Photoshop are shifted toward cyan in Elements Organizer. What is causing the mismatch in image color between the two Adobe products?
I've also noticed that the new Radial Filter that's available in the latest Camera Raw is not processed by Elements Organizer 11. Would this be processed in Elements 12?

Prints and SoftProofs from Aperture and PS look different?

I'm using the HP Designjet 90 and there is something strange.
There is significant difference between soft-proof in Aperture and PS of the same image (exported as .psd from Aperture). In Aperture the image has some blue/cyan cast and there is no such a problem in PS Softproof.
Prints are consistent with softproofs - from Aperture it looks blueish and more warm from PS.
Why there is such a difference?

... and I'm applying the same profile in both applications

Just bought MSI R5770 and card looks different than expected

I bought this as an open Box from Fry's today.
When I opened it up, the card looks completely different than the pictures I've seen online.
The label on the back says it is a R5770 PMD1G and the serial number on the label matches the one on the box. But the fan/heatsink combination is completely different. The board layout (capacitors, etc) seems to be different as well
I'm especially concerned by the small size of the fan compared to what I was expecting.
Before I install it, I wanted to make sure I actually have the correct card that I paid for. Here is a link to a pic.

Quote from: Sansfear on 04-May-10, 19:29:16
She slapped a new reduced price sticker on it and assured me that they'd test it to make sure it worked. I'm willing to bet that if I go back there in a few days, that it will be back on the shelves and still have the wrong card in the box.
I wouldn't expect anything less from them. It was probably back on the shelf 15 minutes after you walked out. If its worth anything, I don't buy anything open box. The small savings isn't worth the hassle.

HT4972 I can't find my music on my iphone since I upgraded to IOS - how do I find it and everything looks different on it?

Do I need to do something else?

Why we can't upgrade my iOs 7

Site layout and color looks different in each browser

I created a site. When I preview the site in firefox it is just the way I created it in dreamweaver cs5, but when I preview it in IE the background color is not the pinkish color I used, it is black and the subheading is crunched up to the left and not the right. Also, in google crome browser, it is perfect except there is a huge gap of space from the bottom of the page to the footer (It shouldn't have margins but the margin is very large). The site is for a client (escort-personal), I hope that someone will be able to help/lead in the right direction.

I see a black background in IE, no doubt caused by truncated #hex color codes in the markup. Remove the table cell BGColors from your html markup.
Add this to your CSS code:
td {background: #993300}
FYI, table-based layouts are very old school. You should be learning to work with CSS Layouts.

Image looks different in Photoshop and Lightroom

I started a forum on flickr and I have some issues with my images. I have calibrated monitor but my images look off online even though I saved them as sRGB. Now my image looks one way in PS and then when I finish editing it and save it, I import it into lightroom and it looks different.
Same image, but it looks different.
http://www.flickr.com/groups/photoshopsupport/discuss/72157626443796391/#comment7215762645 5942911

The image on the left in PS looks the same in Picasa Image
Viewer (I selected it to be color managed based on the monitor profile), looks the same in Windows Image Viewer, and looks the same in the thumbnail. The image on the right in LR is how the picture looks when I look at my image in Firefox but in Internet Explorer and in Chrome, the image looks like the image on the left in PS. The image below shows how the thumbnail looks different from the actual picture when it's double clicked and viewed in Picasa. The thumbnail (which shows the subjects having green skin) would be how I saw it online while the double clicked version is how I saw it in PS, even though it was sRGB (I checked the image properties to make sure of the color space).
I have a ATI 5470 GPU on my ASUS 17.3 inch laptop. Not sure about the drivers.

Footage Looks Different in SpeedGrade and when rendered

Hello
I’m having some problems figuring out what my file actually look like.
Is there still a QuickTime bug that cause QuickTime to show a gamma-shifted or otherwise-screwy image?
5dMkII h.264 .mov file
The same file in QuickTime and VLC looks different. VLC version is darker and redder.
That file in SG looks even darker, and slightly redder.
Rendered out from SpeedGrade to ProRes422 (Automatic Color Adjustment switch on in SG) looks close to SpeedGrade display, but a few points redder and a touch darker.
Rendered out from SpeedGrade to ProRes422 (Automatic Color Adjustment switch off in SG) much lighter and paler than SpeedGrade display.
Same results with ProRes444.
Why do these look different?
Latest MacPro Tower
Latest OS X
64GB RAM
AMD FirePro D700 6144 MB
2x LaCie 321 monitors, calibrated with Spyder3 Elite
QuickTime Pro 7 or QuickTime Player bundled with OS
All files viewed on the same monitor
Thanks in advance for any help.

In general, it depends.
You can't be responsible for every other computer & user in the world ... even though at times they'll try and make you so. The best anyone can do is run a calibrated "shop" and know you're delivering good technical content. Test it on other calibrated systems, and over broadcast monitors if such are available somewhere you know. For clients with specific needs, TEST. Send a test over and have them check it ... for most TV use this is crucial. For say adds on movie theatre screens between shows, arrange to take a sample over before they "open" for the day and have it played on their equipment onto the screen ... see what it looks like, adjust & retest as necessary.
For web use ... that's a total crapshoot off the mark.Best you can do is again, see that your system is as accurately calibrated as you can. Set the preferences for video players on your machine to use your system's calibration rather than their internal, which will ALWAYS do something odd to the signals. But not only odd ... unpredictable computer to computer. If your system is fully calibrated, your work over the web will hopefully average out pretty decent.
For web-delivery clients, still ... do initial testing to see that they are happy with the results you give them. If on their computer they want it bluer, and ... you know that means it's gonna really be BLUE on many machines ... perhaps showing them on a laptop that it does look good as-is on another system or some sort of client education moment may need to happen. I've heard plenty of complaints that the client demanded someone deliver something too dark ... and then complained back at them because they got comments from others that the material was too dark. Love that, eh? Client demanded they change it darker even though told it would be too dark for most computers ... then groused at them that it was too dark. Right. Oh frabjous joy.
Over in the video lounge here and on a couple other sites ... the threads on Stupid Client Demands have at times been a riot and at times something to near cry over. As a 30+ year stills portrait photographer, we've had the same thing at times from clients ... a demand to just plain print their images GREEN or something. Most of which we've complied with, some we ... didn't. What an interesting variety of brains and eyes there are about the planet ...
My experience is that just doing the best I can, it looks pretty darn good on my client's tv's and computers. Some go one way or the other a bit, but in general, it works fine. And check if you've got a setting in either system controls or the Qt & VLC controls for system-managed color.

Published site looks different on mac and pc?

having (finally) published my site, why do the fonts and layout look different on my mac to my husbnad's pc? v odd???

because different browsers interpret CSS files indifferent ways and because fonts that are installed on your mac may not necessarily be installed on your husbands pc. It is a common gripe of web designers (not just those using iWeb) that margins and padding (for example) are all read differently by IE than by FF.
