Shooting with Nikon D7000 the color is awful. Where do i begin?

The clips generated from the recently new Nikon D7000 are very hard to correct. I've been using the 3-way color corrector in FCP for years and nothing seems to work on the nikon movie files. The skin tones are flat and almost gray. the over all color is lifeless. And shadow detail is lost even though the image is largely over exposed. Anyone else having this trouble. Of course I am editing these clips alongside clips from the Canon 5D Mark ll.

I have to be more specific the original Nikon D7000 clips are too yellow and too blue which makes green I can't do anything to make these look good. ahhh!

  • Tethered Shooting with Nikon D7000 - when?

    I was quite surprised (as, it seems, have others) to discover that tethered shooting is not yet supported with the Nikon D7000 in the latest Lightroom 3.3 release.
    Has Adobe made any statements regarding the availability of this feature?
    Does anyone know of any workarounds for the Mac, other than the ridiculously overpriced Nikon Capture?

    I keep shaking the magic 8-ball, and all that keeps coming up is:
    "Answer uncertain. Ask again later."
    Strangely non-random results, too.
    There is at least one free reverse engineered camera control wedge for Nikon cameras on OS X. It worked well enough to drop photos in a watched folder for me. It may have improved somewhat since. If I can find the link I'll pass it on, but I recall I just found it via a web search.

  • Tethered Shooting with Nikon does not save on CF/SD Cards

    Has Lightroom 5 now a solution for the tethered shooting with Nikon cameras where no save on the CF/SD cards takes place?
    If not, will this covered in the future?

    An external HDD does not help for the most common image loss during tethered shooting: Transfer problems.
    When any transmission problem occurs while shooting and the images are not stored on the memory card, they will be gone. I can't tell you how many images I lost because I had some cable problem while being tethered.
    Tethering without a copy on memory card is not a good idea, really. So since the feature is available (otherwise it wouldn't work in digiCamControl, they don't install a new firmware or use super secret camera drivers or anything) I can't understand why Adobe does not support it.

  • Tethered shooting with Nikon D700

    Hi all,
    I am working on a hardware/software plan to streamline my digital photography workflow. I have been doing some research
    on tethered shooting with Nikon and came across this blog post by Scott Kelby. My question is.....do I need to spend the 160.00 on
    Nikon's 'Camera Control Pro 2' software on top of the 260.00 for Adobe's 'Lightroom 2' software in order to shoot tethered into Lightroom 2?
    Can a person just shoot directly into Lightroom 2?
    Are any of you out there shooting tethered into Lightroom 2? Can you expand on the details of your workflow?
    Thanks in advance for any input.
    Best,
    Dennis

    Hi
    At this stage LR hasn't the ability to tether to a camera without additional software. this is a feature that has been asked for many times.  I do not know of any other software that comes close to the functionality of  Nikon CC Pro 2 for those on a PC. I use CC Pro 2 with LR 2.4 and a D2Xs and although it may take 5-6 seconds for an image to appear using a watched folder it is a wonderful way to shoot for specific situations such as low light panos or with clients wanting to view your work on-site.
    CC Pro 2 allows you to work unobtrusively once you are set up and is particularly good for candids or photography in a public space as people are not put off by the photographer behind the camera. I would suggest a setup like Kelby's or McNally's which uses a Manfrottos accessory arm to place your laptop next to your camera as any other method is a pain if you are moving equipment around. In low light I would close the viewfinder to ensure stray light doesn't affect the exposure.
    Regards

  • I brought a new ipad mini with retina. The color saturation is too low to me, especially the purple. My wife started to complain because the color is really different from iphone and ipad. Can user adjust that?

    Other than a couple of minor adjustments, such as the one that Diavonex suggested above, there is nothing that a user can do in settings to adjust color. There is no way to calibrate the color like you can do with a computer monitor.

  • LR/ACR color mismatch with Nikon D7000 NEF files

    I recently purchased the Nikon D7000. The NEF RAW files are not supported in current versions of LR and CS5.
    Downloaded and installed LR 3.3RC. Also downloaded and installed ACR 6.3R1.
    Both work with the D7000 NEF-files with ONE exception. If I shoot a "Multiple Exposure" (one feature of the D7000)  the resulting image in both LR and ACR displays in strong "pink"/magenta. All other images display correctly.
    If I open the pink images in Nikon Capture NX2 2.2.6 they open correctly.
    If I use the White Balance tool (pipette) in LR, I can bring the image back to "almost normal" but the WB values then are Temp: 2150, Tint: -138. Conclusion: the Multi Exposure Image from the D7000 is completely mismatched by LR/ACR. But they are correctly matched by Capture NX2.
    This obviously needs to be corrected before final release.
    Has anyone else expreienced the same? Is there a workaround?

    Can you please supply some sample .NEF images? You can use YouSendIt.com with a target email address of [email protected] Thanks.

  • Can't tether in Lightroom 4 with Nikon D7000

    I have a Nikon D7000 camera and Lightroom 4 updated with the latest version and I can't get it to tether. Lightroom tether says no camera detected when it is. I have tried every thing in the trouble shoot guide but it doesn't work. Any items/suggestions?

    Thank you Rikk Flohr for the response, but that didn't work either. I have LR 3 on an old computer and it is detected right away. But I can't get it to work on my windows 8 operating system in LR 4. Go figure?

  • When copied to CD and taken to Local lab the color is awful

    When I export files to CD and take to local lab to print images come out muddy and Dark. Why and how do I calibrate the monitor? I have gone through the calibration menu in System preferences. I have never had this issue from my pc.
    Help me!

    I have gone through the calibration menu in System preferences
    Did you change the gamma to the PC 2.2 in the process? That makes the screen darker so that you can adjust the brightness to your liking before exporting. That can help somewhat. Also the color profile that is being used might have an effect. I've gone thru and set everything possible to the sRGB color profile as that seems to be the standard for printing and internet use.

  • I just switched from Aperture to Lightroom and PS CC.  My images exported from LR and PS suffer color loss.  Where do I begin to correct this problem?

    I just switched from Aperture to LR and PS CC.  My exported images suffer color loss?  How do I correct the issue?
    I shoot with a Canon 5d Mark III in Adobe 1998 Color Space.  I've been exporting JPEGS for web with Color Space sRGB.

    Does your issue have anything to do with switching from Aperture?
    In other words, if you take a new photograph with your camera, and import it in Lightroom, then export it, is there still a problem?
    Or is the problem somehow tied to transition from Aperture, or photos migrated from Aperture...?
    I'm guessing the reason you brought up Aperture is that you did not have export "color loss" issues in Aperture, like you are having in Lightroom, but since you didn't say... (just want to be sure).

  • Lightroom 3.2 Tethered shooting with Nikon D7100

    I have a laptop Windows Vista which will not allow me to upgrade Lightroom 3.2 to 5.3. I have bought a Nikon D7100. Is it possible to
    enable the older version of LIghtroom 3.2 to recognise the Nikon D7100 for tethered shooting?
    Cheers.

    No, Lightroom 3.2 does not recognize D7100 RAW files, and cannot tether to it.

  • I am in China and need to buy a MacBook Pro with English as the core language. Where can I find one?

    I am in Jilin China and went to the local Apple resale store, but all the MacBook Pros with Retina Display have Chinese as the core language, and the store workers couldn't help me get English.  Where can I buy a BacBook Pro in China that has English as the core language?

    Not very bright of them.  Every Mac can be switched among 33 languages, including English, in a few seconds via the system preferences.

    And in Chinese
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14211?viewlocale=zh_CN
    Along with that, when setting up a brand new Mac (or after install an fresh version of the OS), the first thing you have do is: select a language. That choice sets the language for the rest of the setup and the default. Pick English and you're done.
    But as Tom mentioned, that can always be changed.

  • Nikon D7000 .MOV files in Premiere Pro and After Effects CS5.5

    I recently upgraded from Production Premium CS5 to CS5.5. Initially Nikon D7000 .MOV files used in previous CS5 Premiere Pro project would not play well in CS5.5. Now .MOV files do work in both PP and AE CS5.5. Here are the steps I followed. Not recommending you follow my steps exactly, just providing info for those that are interested.
    1.       Launch Premiere Pro CS5.5 and open previous PP CS5 project, convert project to CS5.5 and rename project file as not to replace previous CS5 project file.
    a.       At this point .MOV files do not play in new project or in AE CS5.5
    b.      Close Premiere Pro and After Effect if still running.
    2.       Using Adobe Bridge CS5.5, batch rename;
    a.       Make copies of original files to new folder location while renaming file extension from .MOV to .mpg
    b.      Let Adobe Bridge finish creating all new thumbnail previews.
    c.       Leave Bridge running in background.
    3.       Launch Premiere Pro CS5.5, let Premiere finish recreating thumbnail previews if needed.
    a.       Attempt to preview existing .MOV file in project. It worked for me.
    b.      Attempt to play sequence containing .MOV files. It worked for me.
    c.       Attempt to play or modify sequence .MOV files in AE CS5.5 via Dynamic Link within Premiere. It worked for me.
    d.      Close Premiere Pro project and AE projects if open.
    4.       Create new Premiere Pro project and sequence
    a.       Import a different Nikon D7000 .MOV file not previously used or renamed.
    b.      Attempt to play this newly imported .MOV file. This worked for me as well.
    c.       The new, previously un-renamed .MOV file also worked in AE CS5.5 for me.
    I will perform additional tests but at the moment Nikon D7000 .MOV files are working for me in CS5.5 after initially performing a batch rename in Bridge CS5.5 from .MOV to .mpg and letting Bridge create preview files. Even .MOV files not renamed now work.

    Hello,
    I see 2 post in this thread from Todd that say they are working on a fix and it should be out soon.  One is from July, the other from August.  It is now Sept 7th and I still see no patches or fixes for any bugs.  I spent 400 dollars on an upgrade, but is this upgrade going to be supported?
    This is making me rethink upgrading to the .5's in the future.
    It is a minor bug to most, but in that sense it should be an easy quick fix. Am I wrong? Is this really a complicated issue?
    I apologize if this comes off like a rant, but thats kinda what it is.  It is not hard to batch rename files, but its a pain to have to relink all those files in PP.
