Stoke Colour in Lightroom 5

When using the Print Module in L.5 I cannot change the stroke colour for a single image print.  There is no difficulty in the other layout styles.  Any suggestions?

Well -- yes, you can turn them off -- but consider whether you want to just "turn them off".
They are there for a reason, and "may" indicate you have a problem that needs correction.
Before just throughing the markings away, use the Hightlight/Shadow/White/Black adjustments to see what can in fact be recovered from those "blown out" areas in your photo.
That does not mean they are always bad.  If you have some really black areas where there really should be no detail, they will show blue and thats OK, but its worth looking first.

  • Changing the Black layout colour in Lightroom

         I've searched the Forum as much as possible but can't find an answer to the following question: Is it possible to change the overall layout colour from Black to a mid to dark grey?
         I know about the user ones for setting the backgrounds to your photos etc. but i would like to get away from the overall Black colour scheme. Is this possible?
         Thanks for any help.

    Sorry, Neil. You can only change the background behind the image not the overall color scheme. I suggest you make a feature request at http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform

  • Colour shift when exporting from lightroom 5 into Photoshop CS6

    Hi there,
    Having a really weird problem in Lightroom/Photoshop that no amount of Googling can seem to fix.
    When I grade an image for colour in lightroom, and then use the "edit in" function to send the file to Photoshop, the file is a completely different colour.
    Here's an example:
    I'm using SRGB for both Lightroom and Photoshop, and the "preserve embedded profiles" is selected for RGB, CMYK, and gray.
    If anyone can shed some light on this, it would be great. I don't want to have to use ProPhotoRGB, because most of my work is delivered online.
    Thanks in advance
    John

    I am also having this issue with the "Merge to HDR Pro" function in both LR5.2 and PSCC. When the image is viewed at 50% image size in the HDR app everything appears fine. However, once you start to zoom in the image begins to crop out segements starting on the right hand side. See the screen shots below:
    Image at 50%
    Image at 66%
    Image at 100%

  • Different colours shown in Lightroom.

    Hi everyone,
    Have been struggling with lightroom colours since i downloaded the trial version.
    Technical Info:
    All images used are Jpeg and nothing to do with RAW
    Monitor: DELL 2209WA
    Original profile: SRGB
    Calibrated profile named Spyder pro 3
    Calibrated by: Spyder pro 3
    Lightroom version 3
    Photoshop cs 5
    SRGB in camera settings
    Have been researching online for weeks since i have the colour problem and tried all sort of methods mentioned in forum and several website.
    The jpeg colour straight out of camera shown on the monitor using firefox, photoshop and picasa photo viewer seem different from the version in Lightroom.
    The jpeg imported in lightroom shown is more yellowish in colour, extra effort have been taken to make sure nothing has been changed during the importing process, all presets unchecked etc.
    To ensure the colour in lightroom is a permanent colour view and not a temporary view. Exported it using SRGB and Calibrated profile.
    If exported using SRGB, the colours will go back to the original colours shown in monitor. If exported using calibrated profile (Spyderpro 3) The colours of the jpeg (yellowish) in lightroom stays. (Viewed in firefox and picasa viewer)
    However if viewed in photoshop, choosing embedded profile or convert to working space shows lightroom colours and if discard embedded profile is choose, the default colours shown in monitor is shown.
    The colour profile used in photoshop is Spyper pro 3, and embedded profile in photo is SRGB
    Calibration is done by adjusting brightness and RGB sliders to adjust white balance and kelvin as close to 6500k and luminance of 120.
    After calibration, i will change the
    device profiles in advanced to spyder pro 3
    and viewing conditions profile to WCS profile for SRGB conditions
    Default ICC profile is Spyder pro 3 afer calibration.
    Conclusion, the initial colours shown in different program, esp lightroom vs the rest make me hesitant on which colours to trust and which to do editing on. I have no issues with the exported Jpeg, which i can get them to the colours i want.
    Resetting all profiles to default(SRGB) solved this inconsistent colours issue between lightroom, photoshop and other programs, but now they are all consistently incorrect.
    One problem solved in lightroom colours creates another problem, and this is already the third biggest problem i have.
    I was having the export problem with colours, and after researching, found out that a matrix profile over LUT profile will solved the exported colours issues, but now with the matrix profile, i am getting inconsistency with the initial colours.
    Many thanks in Advanced

    Do you have screenshots illustrating this?
    Also, you have to be more specific about what you're comparing Lightroom with. Browsers are all over the map with regards to color management - IE, for instance, will not use the monitor profile, but substitute sRGB. XnView I know nothing about, but again, many applications claim to have color management when in reality they miss at least half of it.
    And since you say you have the "same problem" as the previous posters, there are a lot of confused ideas there about what color management means - one of them even embeds the monitor profile in the exported file, which defeats the whole purpose and actually turns all resemblance of color management off.
    So just to have it established: A fully color managed application, like Lightroom, converts from the source/document color profile to the monitor profile, on the fly, and that's what goes to the display. Of the web browsers, only Firefox and Safari will do that, and even then it requires that the document profile is embedded and doesn't get stripped somewhere (which can happen).
    All that said, it is of course possible that the Spyder is making bad profiles. It could be that the sensor is malfunctioning. First of all I would check for software updates from Datacolor.
    Another thing - what is your monitor model?
    EDIT: Windows Picture Viewer (not to be confused with Windows Explorer) is fully color managed and should display identically to Lightroom. How does it look there?

  • Colours differ from Lightroom to Photoshop

    Hello,
    Can someone tell me how it is possible that when I edit an image in Lightroom, it is much brighter and more saturated in Photoshop, than in Lightroom? Is it because you chose a colourspace? Is there a different colour-engine-source?
    Is it Windows Vista that handles colours different? Because it seems to me that the Windows photogalery has more or less the same colours than lightroom. When I put one of them as a wallpaper on my desktop, they seem to have more distinct colours.
    regards,
    mario

    Have you profiled your monitor lately?

  • Lightroom and photoshop display colours differently??

    I have just done a colour critical shoot of fashion garments. There is a dramatic difference particularly noticeable in Purple colours between Lightroom and Bridge. Lightroom displays it as blue and Bridge displays it correctly. I cannot figure out why this is - it means that I cannot work in Lightroom as I am not sure if the colour is correct or not.
    Please - if anyone can shed some light on this I will be eternally grateful.
    By the way I work on a mac with CS3 and the latest lightroom - on a calibrated system so it is not a calibration issue.
    Marc

    Are you sure that bridge is actually generating previews from the RAW and that you are not just looking at the camera-generated jpeg preview embedded in the RAW? This is pretty typical for bridge to do. The camera-generated preview generally looks very different color-wise from Lightroom and ACR because the camera manufacturer. Test this by double-clicking the RAW in bridge. Usually the color will be quite different from the preview you see in Bridge. After you close ACR, the preview will get updated in Bridge too. The reason behind this color difference is that camera manufacturers use secret, proprietary algorithms to determine the color from the camera's raw sensor data. This color is not necessarily correct, but what they consider "pleasing." If you shoot RAW, your RAW converter supplies its own interpretation of the data. Usually based on shooting color patches with the same camera.

  • Calling all Lightroom wizards - aka a converter for all seasons!

    Hi all,
    I have been using Lightroom since b2 and absolutely love it, but deep down there has always been a little part of me that believes it could do RAW conversions better.
    THE ISSUE:
    I know that for some images one converter works better than another, but i am beggining to think that during autumn (or fall, for my american cousins!) I will have to do all conversions in capture NX.
    Take a look at this link showing two images, one from NX with lovely rusty reds, yellows and browns, the other my best attempt to replicate the colours in Lightroom.
    resized images:
    http://homepage.mac.com/thegentleman/lightroom/full_images.jpg
    100% crops:
    http://homepage.mac.com/thegentleman/lightroom/100_crop_images.jpg
    No matter how i try and tweak the image in lightroom (and i have tried every permutation i know) i cant avoid getting muddy greens in the darker areas of the long grass, where NX gives lovely reddish browns. I know different converters start off with different 'looks', but i would have thought it possible to get nice deep reds in the shadows in Lightroom, but i am at the point where i now beleive it is impossible to replicate the wonderful colours i can get in NX.
    THE CHALLENGE:
    If you think i'm talking out of my backside (*** - us), or would just like to show me the error of my ways, i have provided the .nef file on the link below. If you can replicate the colours in the NX version you will never want for a drink in London ever again*
    http://homepage.mac.com/thegentleman/lightroom/_DSC7967.nef
    I dont want to get into discussions about which rendering people prefer, that is purely subjective. The issue here is that Lightroom doesnt seem to be able to render an image in the way i would like, and lets face it, i am only asking for certain colours, its not like this should be a round trip to PS for 'special' editing or anything!
    Thanks for reading, and a even bigger thank you to anyone who tries, let alone succeeds, in this challenge.
    Ta,
    Nick.
    PS - yes i have tried things like the Nikon Color mode IIIa preset as a starting point
    PPS - i have also seen another member of this forum mention simmilar colour issues but without resolution. please give the file a try!
    * subject to my own, as yet to be written, fair use policy

    Nick,
    It's great to see all the participation on this one issue. I'm sure Jeff will be back and qualify his off-the-fly response!? ; ) Must have been having a bad day or not enough time to couch his blunt comment in a more genteel way... or maybe that's the way he is in emailogue?
    I appreciated David's posting the whole image at his site. I do concur with John about the green fringeing on the guy's forearm. In this situation, are we talking about limitations of the CCD color reception and the additive nature of the algorithms needed to replace what is never recorded? I use an X3F-based chip camera (SD-10 and Polaroid x530). I've been finding some irregularities (i.e. brighter quadrant than another) in sensor sensitivity, in the case of the SD-10, as I've been documenting Moroccan-weaved carpets (been using my old, Kodak gray/color card to calibrate).
    I have started to delve into the development process of LightRoom and have been trying to work at getting accuracy in the color, too. This discussion will greatly help me in isolating the variables and hone in on the essentials.
    The neutral in the cloud, it seems, will be our only objective marker to help us get as close to reality as possible, since there is no other known value available (e.g. a good patch of green, a gray card, or the revealed palms of our friend in the picture) . These other tweaks will help us with the subjective aspect of the image and help convey the shock, awe, warmth, beauty and feeling our audience (us?) will come to appreciate (this "feeling" is where marketing, advertising, and presentation thrive).
    It sounds like we're right back to the color space issues we had to deal with between the celluloid, camera, and paper! Color and light are back as our capricious lovers! So many variables to contend with when we chase the holy grail of the ultimate image, aren't there!?
    All I wanted to do, here, was to find out where I could submit an icon idea for LightRoom (the other one is a bit static - LR) and I got stuck into this fascinating thread! I wonder no more where all my time goes!!
    Sorry, this is not a technical tackling of your thread, more a philosophical one as a spectator cheering the practitioners on!

  • Lightroom/photoshop seem to use the default monitor profile when printing

    I had my color workflow setup fine and I have no idea what happened. It's been working as long as I can remember. My monitor is calibrated with an eye-one display 2. When I print, the print colors no longer match the monitor colors.  Trying to figure out what is going on, I noticed that if I switch the monitior profile to "Display" the print colors made match the "Display" monitor colors rather than the monitor colors present when its profile is set to the calibrated profile. I get the same behavoir in photoshop and lightroom.
    To recap:
    1. profile/calibrate the monitor with an eye-one display 2
    2. set the monitor profile to the new calibrated profile.
    2.5 take a look at the soft proof. everything looks good.
    3. make a print using the correct paper profile, lightroom or photoshop managing the color,
    4. the print colors don't match the monitor
    5.  fooling around, set the monitor profile to "Display". Those are the colors that show up on my print.
    Any ideas as to what's going on?
    The particulars: OSX 10.7.5, Photoshop CS6 13.0.4, Lightroom 4.4
    Thanks.

    There are lots of colour spaces here!
    The image has a colour space.  If it's a jpeg it's probably sRGB or Adobe RGB.  If it's raw, then it's in the colour space of the camera sensor (which is proprietary, and no use to anyone until it's been rendered by LR, ACR or whatever).
    The editing program (LR or Photoshop) has a "working colour space".  This is the working space the program does it's image manipulation in.  For Photoshop you can choose, for LR it's always ProPhoto RGB (there's no choice).  LR and Photoshop internally convert the image from the image's colour space to the working space for editing. 
    Then the monitor has a colour space.  Assuming it's been calibrated and profiled (measured) by a hardware device (Spyder, Colormunki or whatever) then the monitor's colour space is described in the monitor profile. 
    Assuming the display profile is correctly set (in Windows control panel, color management) to the monitor's profile (which should be done automatically when you calibrate/profile your monitor) then both LR and Photoshop will automatically use the monitor profile when sending image data to the monitor.  Both will automatically map (convert) the image from the working color space of the program to the colour space of the monitor.  It just happens. 
    Provided:
    The monitor is correctly calibrated and profiled (with a v2 profile if there's a choice, avoid v4 like the plague)
    The default profile hasn't subsequently been altered in control panel
    then LR will automatically colour manage correctly.  There aren't any controls or options in LR to make it not colour manage correctly.
    It's much easier to screw up on Photoshop as there are lots of settings you can get wrong in the "Color Settings" panel.  So if there's a difference in colour between Lightroom and Photoshop it's virtually always a wrong setting in Photoshop, unless the monitor profile is incorrect. 

  • Colour labels missing in LR4

    I've just installed LR4 and imported my catalog from LR3. All have imported OK apart from the fact that I had my pictures colour labeled and these don't show in LR4. The labels show in Bridge so they are still there but don't show in Lightroom.
    Any thoughts as to how I can get them back please?

    To expand on Dorin's answer, if you have renamed your labels in Lightroom 3 (something non-default), then you will have to rename the labels in LR4 as well.
    Your pictures actually store the label string, not the colour. Lightroom merely matches the strings and maps those back for display purposes.

  • How do i turn on the stroke colour

    i have the trial version of adobe premiere elements, I am trying to make a shape with stoke colour only in the title colour box.  It will only allow me to alter the gradient and not the fill or stroke. What do I need to do or is it because of the trial version

    This was a question that I had to ask, as well. In PrPro, the Stroke attribute is available in the Titler, regardless of the Style used, or even if no Style is applied. Same in Photoshop and Illustrator. I think that Paul_LS had to point me to how to attain it back then too. Not 100% intuitive.
    Good luck,

  • Images look less saturated in Photoshop CC 2014

    I import my RAW images into Lightroom 5 and make some basic adjustments.  Then I edit the image in Photoshop with the Lightroom adjustments.  I clean up the images and crop to the size I like and then I use the Perfect Effects 9 plugin to do some more edits.  I finish my edits in Perfect Effects 9 and save them which brings me back into Photoshop CC as a new layer.  In Photoshop the image looks less saturated than it did in Perfect Effects 9.  I then save the Photoshop file and exit.  When I look at the PSD file in Lightroom 5 browse window, it looks the same as it does in Perfect Effects 9.  Why does it look less saturated in Photoshop CC 2014?
    Here are my colour settings:
    Lightroom 5:
    External Editing:
         Edit in Adobe Photoshop CC 2014:
         File Format = TIFF
         Color Space = AdobeRGB(1998)
         Bit Depth = 16
         Resolution = 240
         Compression = zip
    Additional External Editor:
        Preset = Perfect Effects 9 Suite
        File Format = PSD
        Color Space = AdobeRGB(1998)
        Bit Depth = 16
        Resolution = 300
    Perfect Effects 9:
    General:
         Working Color Space = sRGB IEC61966-2.1    
    Files:
         Copy Options:
         File Format = PSD
         Color Space = sRGB IEC61966-2.1
    Plug-ins:
         Lightroom:
         File Type = PSD
         Color Space = Adobe RGB 1998
    Photoshop CC 2014:
        Color Settings:  Custom
        Working Spaces:
        RGB = sRGB IEC61966-2.1
        CMYK = U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2
        Gray = Dot Gain 20%
        Spot = Dot Gain 20%
    What color settings do I need to use so that the images have the same saturation look in all three programs? How do you know which image in which program is showing as the correct saturation?

    No, just keep it at sRGB. As long as you have the "preserve" policy, the working space actually isn't all that important. The embedded document profile will always override it (as it should).
    I had to read this a couple of times to follow the trail properly. Leaving Perfect Effects (which I don't know at all) out of it - does the very same file iteration, with the same edits, look different between Photoshop and Lightroom? Did I get that right?
    In that case you have a bad monitor profile. This can sometimes throw off one application but not the other. Recalibrate, or if you don't have a calibrator go into Windows color management and set sRGB IEC61966-2.1 as default display profile. When done relaunch all applications so that they can pick up the new profile at startup.

  • Achieving brownish skin tones

    I'm seeing this browner skin tones "look" a lot in fashion photography, almost like an instant tan that works for light and not so light caucasian skin tones. So far I am flumoxed (sp?) as to how to create this look. Someone suggested warming up the white balance, then backing off saturation and luminance on the orange (-15 and -20 respectively), but I'm wondering whether anyone knows of presets and/or other techniques that one can implement in LR for batch-processing a large set of photos.

    I believe the correct spelling is "flummoxed". Anyway, I change skin colour in Lightroom often by using the colour brush and the relevant intensity slider and play with both until I  get it the way I want. The problem is you need a mask so as not to get any surprises in the rest of the image. This means batch processing isn't your ally. There are programs out there that specialize in one-click portrait skin adjustments and they do a pretty good job but even so, you'll have to verify each image which defeats the pupose. Good luck.

  • Speckles in shadows AND strange lines in highlights

    I've found that I get strange lines in highlights and intense constellations of speckles in shadows when changing treatment from colour to greyscale and back to colour in Lightroom 2.5. A reimported copy of the image will not display the effect. If I change nothing else, switching to library view makes the artifacts go away, back to develop and they reappear. If I change anything else, they are there to stay. The exported file includes the artifacts. My CPU is an Athlon XP (so no SSE2), OS is Windows XP SP3 32-bit. Images are from a Sony A700 fw v.4. Just thought I'd see if anyone else who wasn't on a PowerPC Mac is having these issues with this release as well?

  • Lightroom's interpretation of camera raw data washes out colours

    After I import images from my Canon 5D, they look different when I go into the develop module. I read the FAQ and I understand that this is caused by the difference between the stored thumbnail on the camera and the way lightroom interprets the raw image data.
    The problem is, the tone and colour are always far superior in the camera thumbnail interpretation, and I spend considerable time on Lightroom to try and get the image back to how it originally looked on the camera thumbnail, usually unsucsessfully.
    Is there a way I can get lightroom to match exactly the look of the previews stored with the raw file on the camera?
    It is a big problem, because after lightroom interprets the data, skin tones look washed out and the colours are not as rich or natural looking.
    I don't have this problem on other raw converters, and it is making me look for another software solution if I can't resolve the problem.
    Help!

    Well, my eyes must be doing some wonky things then... because in my experience its LR that is cheating me on the colors.
    Yes... Canon many times oversaturates the colors... but I'm pretty sure that those red cherries I took a picture of were not pumpkin orange as LR shows them. ACR has some serious hue shift problems, yet not for everyone... it varies from camera model to camera model, and even within camera model from camera to camera.
    The best we can do, since ACR isn't intelligent enough, is to fiddle with the calibration settings, and save that as the new default for the camera. (There are scripts that help do this if you have a Color-checker and CS2/CS3... but are of no help if you use only LR or Elements.)
    Never expect the default settings in RAW (for ANY converter... Canon's included (with execption, perhaps of Zoombrowser)) to match the preview you see on the camera, or the out-of-camera jpeg. Adjustments will need to be made. Unfortunately in ACR, this means hours of messing the calibration sliders, much trial and error, and perhaps multiple presets to help with different lighting conditions.
    That said... I too would like to see ACR improve in this area... but for the mean-time this is the best we can do.
    edit: (I'm (slightly) exagerrating the extent of the shift above... but its VERY noticable... and can be very frustrating.
    This site: http://www.photoactivity.com/Pagine/Articoli/023%20Calibratori%20al%20sole/Calibratori%20 al%20sole_en.asp explains in more detail than I understand some of the calibration scripts... and even has some screenshots of a color-checker comparing ACR defaults and various scripts to the color-checker. I'd guess the shifts I see are comparable to some of those shifts seen on that page.)
