Strange red shadows in backit portrait in ACR - but ok in ViewNX

I've recently been processng NEFs from a D300 using ACR without any problems. Until...
The following photo has some very wierd red shadows when imported using ACR5.5. But when viewed using the Nikon ViewNX 1.4.0 they look perfectly ok. I've also tried using ACR4.x (the one distributed with PE6) and it's just the same as 5.5. The whole batch of photos taken using this lighting setup show the problem. I was using a Dlte2 on minimum power behind the subject pointing toward the camera and reflectors on the sides. The camera is using the AdobeRGB space.

The problem is most visible under her chin to the right of her hand, and on the hair just up and to the right of there.
I'd really appreciate any insights as to why it appears so "badly" in ACR but looks fine in viewNX and in-camera. And how I might proceed with processing these...
Many thanks
Chris

Your shadows are clipping at ACR default of 5. Dragging the black slider to zero should fix the problem.

  • Strange red light in back of the system.

    Hello everyone,
    I just received today my new-like condition G5 Quad today and I have a question regarding the red light in the back. Where I see the digital audio ports I noticed a red light on. Is this call for concern, or is this normal? Also, the startup chime is working through the internal speaker and not through my main speakers. Is there a work around for this?
    Nadav

    Is the red light coming out of the jack or is it inside of the machine? If inside the machine, this may be helpful: About the Power Mac G5 (Late 2005) diagnostic LEDs
    I believe that the startup sound coming from the internal speaker is just the way it is.

  • Strange RED HIGHLIGHTS appears in my print documents

    Strange RED HIGHLIGHTS appears in my print documents, but in the preview dont been showed, whats happens.
    OS: Windows XP
    Acrobat Reader Version: 8.1
    Printer: HP2605dn
    Ram: 512 mb
    Processor: 1.4 Ghz P4

    Eliezer...go to the Print dialog box and click on the Advanced button on the bottom left of the dialog. When the Advanced window comes up go to the lower left corner and put a check in the Print As Image box. Then click OK and then try printing. This is a print driver issue and hopefully checking the Print as Image box will let you print without the red highlights. Good Luck!

  • Strange red light

    i see strange red light the bottom the my Mac pro black cylinger. its went out about less than 3 sec. so what was that??

    Infra red refers to a spectrum of light normally 'invisible' to the naked human eye. Probably, the film is splitting this light, causing some wavelengths of light to interfere with each other and produce interference wavelenghts, which fall into the 'visible' band. Like in radio where two or more signals can combine and produce a third 'interference' signal, so as in light, and indeed sound. They're all waves, just at different frequencies. I'm sure I read another post some time back of a person able to see the light transmission from the IR sensor.
    Have you tried looking at it with a digital camera ?, most of these don't include any IR filtration and as the sensors are IR sensitive, they will 'show' the IR transmitted light. (A good way of verifying if your IR remote control is working is to look at it with a digital camera while operating it and looking for the now visible light beam being emitted).
    I know I've gone on a bit, but at least I believe you saw a light and I thought I'd offer my take on the causes.

  • Shadows slider in Elements 7 ACR 5.6

    I started shooting in jpeg + raw with my Nikon D90.  I’m trying to learn how to make my images as accurate as possible.  I bought a book about using camera raw that seemed to be aimed at the version of Photoshop Elements I use, Version 7.  However, in addition to dealing with acr in Photoshop Elements 7, it also deals with similar versions of both Photoshop and Lightroom.
    I’m trying to optimize an action shot of a fourth grade football team, taken between 12pm-1pm with daylight saving time, so the lighting would be 11am-12pm standard time.  I figured this would be a good image to play with because the white balance would be fairly easy to set.
    One team had white pants, white helmets, and deep red jerseys while the other team had white pants, white helmets, and white jerseys.  Because it was basically bright noonday sun, it is a high contrast scene, with both shadows and highlights clipped.  I realize the image is beyond the dynamic range of the camera senor, but I want to get it as close as possible.  I’ll probably have to let a few highlights go, in addition to specular highlights that occur on the helmets and white uniforms.
    In a section of the book dealing with shadow and highlight clipping, there is a reference to a “shadows” slider.  However, my acr, version 5.6, has no shadow slider.  Which slider in my acr interface is the equivalent slider?  As far as I can tell, the book makes no mention of either the recovery or fill light sliders that are on my acr interface, except to show them within a figure. 
    I want to use the “alt key” option to view the clipped shadow and highlights to help optimize the exposure and other things.
    Your assistance is very much appreciated.

    Try the Blacks slider, right under Fill Light.

  • Strange Redness!

    Hello, i just updated to the latest bootcamp and im pretty sure as a result i am getting some text red when it should be blue. This can be on webpages on the log on screen and other places.
    I also noticed on the title bar of the window (^^ where it says Apple - Support - Discussions) it has a red shadow which is very annoying and looks kinda strange.
    This might be coincidence but when i do a google search the words i search for are are red in the results. the same kinda red everything is changing to.
    Anyone have any idea? Maybe a virus or something to do with the update.
    Thanks for any help

Also, don't see same behavior when bundle is set to run at user logout.
    Any ideas?
    Btw. this kind of cancelling login is seems to related to getting a'lot of Bundle.ItemCreationError's described in http://forums.novell.com/novell-prod...ionerrors.html.

  • My iPhone is saying its taking up 10g of photos and I only have 154 pictures. Also when I got my screen fixed I had 2,000 and when I got it back I had 0 but my wallpapers remained.. Very strange. It's as if my phone still has the pictures but I can't see

    My phone is saying all my storage for pictures is taken up when I only have 154 picture.. It happened when I got my screen fixed at a kiosk in a mall and I had 2,000 pictures when I gave it to him and when I got it back I had 0 but my wallpapers remained.. Very strange it's as if my phone still has the pictures on there.. But I can't see them. Anybody know what I should do :( I keep having to delete apps because I have no more storage for no reason :(((

    You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

  • T61 display artifacts (blue stripes and red shadowing), external monitor is fine

    Hello everyone!
    I have a Lenovo T61 laptop that's just (in March) ran out warranty and obviously developed peculiar single-pixel-level artefacts. Now I know that these kind of problems are generally solved by buying a new laptop, but I'm not convinced that this isn't a software problem. Given below are my observations, so, engineering minds, let's unite and please help me solve this.
    Relevant specs:
    OS: Windows XP SP3 & Ubuntu 11.04
    GPU: Nvidia Quadro NVS 140M (version 266.58)
    TFT Panel: 1440x900
    The big problem:
    White display areas have every other column in cyan (Image A), black areas have red shadowing (Image B). The artefacts are present in both OS and in the BIOS screen as well (which is really bad, I know). Red and cyan is both due to the red channel, so we can narrow this down, other colours are displayed fine.
    The PECULIARITY of this artefact is that it is only present for:
    Cyan columns - pixel values above 247
    Red shadowing - pixel values below 4 (And I mean EXACTLY those values, value of 4 - no artefacts, value of 5 - completely unbearable. See Image C, where this display is photographed while showing two patterns with only that slight variation is pixel values. Patterns are attached as D)
    Middle gray (value 127) causes flickering, while 128 is perfectly fine.
    Solutions tried so far:
    Reinstalling GPU drivers - no avail
    Setting display contrast to < 35% in Nvidia control panel - artefacts dissappear nearly completely.
    I've never heard of such a thing, but since the causing values are so exact I can't believe that this is just fried panel or a broken cable.
    So what do You think?
    Regards,
    Lukas

    Welcome to the forum!
    Your GPU is failing.
    Lenovo might or might not fix it, although it's out of warranty. They are *extremely* well-aware of the problem that plagued these chips.
    Reading related threads here or on Bill Morrow's ThinkPad Forum will reveals hundreds - if not thousands - of similar cases...
    Good luck.

    Whatever you do in terms of charging will not destroy your iPod.
    Many people charge when it's convenient. Others just connect the iPod for syncing to the computer and leave it charging overnight, regardless of the ramaining charge level. Life of modern batteries is measured in full charge cycles. A charge cycle is either a full charge or any combination of small charges that adds up to 100% charge.
    The only real recommendations I've seen (including from Apple) is to keep the batteries away from heat and have a full charge once a month. For this, discharge the battery to about 20%, then fully charge.

  • Strange Red Line

    There's strange red line appearing on right side of canvas in the browser. The red line is not visible on the standalone quicktime player.
    Here is the example: http://www.tordiaimages.com/uploads/redline.png

    Your terminology is very confusing, because "canvas" and "browser" mean one thing to FCP users and another to non FCP users.
    You're saying the red line only appears when you play your exported video in Firefox. If that's true, it's quite clear where the problem lies. Just explain this to your client.

  • Black has red lines and strange red color pattern in it!

    Is there a fix for this?

    Hi Lysa13,
    You could try re-installing the graphics driver. If that doesn't work, it's possible the screen hardware could be starting to have problems.
    Here is a link to the graphics driver:

    If that doesn't work, you may want to try running a screen test in the hardware diagnostics. Here is a support document that explains how to do the tests:

  • Red shadowing on Samsung TV

    I bought a 50 in Samsung plasma screen TV in November of 2010. A couple of months ago, we started to notice that there was red shadowing on the screen while watching shows.  It is not a broken pixel as it moves like thepicture does.  It is getting worse and worse.  Is there anything that we can do?

    This is most likely a voltage issue that Samsung released a firmware update for. Check your firmware version and see if there are any updates available.
