The color red is suddenly absent

The color red is suddenly absent in all my adobe products, Ps CS3, LR2 & Br. The extreme top of the 'choose a color' window is orange where the red usually is. Even older files with lots of red when now opened are orange where the red used to be. I'm completely baffled. Is the red out of gamut somehow. On the desktop and on the web the reds seem fine so I don't believe it's the monitor which I just recalibrated today to make sure that was not causing this problem. Any ideas? The enclosed file shows up as orange.

I'm not sure right now.
All of the colorimeters (the cheaper devices) I've tested have problems with wide gamut displays.
I even got one because it was supposed to work with wide gamut displays, and it put a green cast on everything (primary coordinates measured wrong).
Sigh.
The ColorMunki spectrophotometer might work, but it's more expensive.
I think the calibrator makers are going to have to upgrade (and admit that their current devices are lacking) in the near future.

MacBook Pro attached to a projector and won't show the color red

Running 10.5.8
When running through a projector to give a presentation the color red has disappeared. The first time it happened I calibrated with the Color Munki and all was well, for a while. Now the Color Munki can't calibrate it anymore.
I've tried two different projectors (both work with another laptop)
tried two different cables and
two different connectors.
Also tried different calibrations.
Today we ran disk utilities and that worked great, for an hour or two.
I would very much appreciate any help possible.
thanks,
Amy

Thanks for your reply.
I just went and checked and the cable is inserted snuggly on all ends. I tried giggling it a bit to see if anything would change. Then I switched cords and connectors and nothing changed. Checked all was connected tightly.
Is it possible that both DVI to VGA connectors are bad? Or do you think it is from the connection inside the laptop? And is there any way to check?
~Amy
And here's a bit more info. I just went to check things again. I turned everything on again. Bad color. As I was sitting pondering things the good color popped back in. Nothing moved anywhere. Just as I was commenting to my husband that the color had come back, it went away again. Still no movement anywhere.

Dynamic range of the color red in RAW files.

I have seen this issue with my 70D and my SX-50 so it seems to be an issue with Canon cameras in general (I don't know if other camera makes have this too). Whenever I photograph something that has the color red (for me I often photograph birds) the jpegs look fine but I always start with post processing of RAW files. Anywhere the red color is found I find the color saturates out very easily. I use Adobe Photoshop Essentials (PSE) for post processing and cannot get the RAW adjusted/processed to look anywhere as good as the jpeg as detail is lost when red saturates out. This is not a problem with any other color.
For now I end up opening the jpeg as RAW in PSE and start my adjustments there which give me a better picture with finer detail than starting with the original RAW file. I will post this same question in the PSE forum to see who else noticed this and what their work around is.

Re: " All digital cameras suffer from over saturation of the red channel. It is just the way they are. It doesn't matter whether it is CCD or a CMOS sensored camera."
Just for the record I have owned 1Ds2, 1Ds3, every version of 5D, etc and all have had red issued.
I now also own a Nikon D610 and there is no such issue of over saturation of the red channel in RAW. This is one reason that I shoot the Nikon over the 6D almost all the time. The added DR goes a long way. The D610 files are just easier to work with and a lot faster to reach a final image. Desaturating the red channel on the Canon files obviously causes other issues.
I am impatiently waiting for Canon to put out a camera with a comparable sensor.

Laserjet 2605dn - Won't print the color RED

My 2 year old 2605dn is acting up. When I try to print a test page made up of several colors the color red comes out orange on the left side and fads to yellow on the far right side. I have changed the toner cartridge (all cartridges are HP, no knock offs or refilled cartridges, EVER!), but the problem still exists. I printed the supplies status page and the red column shows a full cartridge but the color is a pale pink, not red.
Can someone tell me what's going on?
Is the printer failing?
Can this problem be fixed?
Thanks for any help!

Here is what to do:

Why does the color red change from working with images in develop to library? The color gets lighter and nothing shows a change on histogram but visually you can see it.

Why does the color red change from working with images in develop to library? The color gets lighter and nothing shows a change on histogram but visually you can see it.

That's probably a broken display profile. The conversion from Library's Adobe RGB is different than the conversion from Develop's linear ProPhoto, so if there's a problem with the display profile it can show up this way.
Recalibrate, or if you don't have a calibrator use sRGB. If your monitor is a wide gamut model use Adobe RGB.
Assuming Windows, change it in Control Panel > Color Management > Devices, and relaunch Lightroom so that it can pick up the new profile at startup:

Why are the colors (red mostly) in my Press Quality PDF file darker than Original AI file?

Hi,
I am new to CS5 and have been doing a lot of researching and testing saving AI CS5 files in "Press Quality" PDF format. When I preview the PDF files in MAC's Preview application (will get Acrobat Reader as well) everything looks nice and crisp, but the colors are a bit on the dark side compared to my original AI files, namely the burgundy. Needless to say, I am only using CMYK and the resolution has been set to High.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi again John,
Now I am sitting in front of the right computer and I just checked the CMYK profile in AI and it says: North America Prepress 2. I found the following tutorial on the internet and this guy says that it is best to use a CMYK profile called BEST WORKFLOW which is supposed to accurately display colors across all platforms. In the tutorial, he also added that if you do not see this profile listed then you should Load (directly from the CMYK profile window) it from your computer. However, I was unable to locate this profile on my MAC and since this tutorial is based on AI CS2, I am unsure if I can use it.

Which CMYK profile would you recommend that I use?
Many thanks,

Lightroom 5 not rendering the color red correctly

Out of the blue, LR5 has decided to render red as a dark orange - similar to the orange in the SF Giants team colors. But red in the LR5 import previews is correct. It's also correct in a different editor, Faststone Image Viewer and Irfan View.
It's orange when opened in Camera RAW 8.1 from PS Elements 10. So the culprit would seem to be Camera Raw 8.1.
A picture is worth a thousand words:

Couldn't you reach 120 Luminance in Eye One Match in advanced mode using the display's Brightness control? Are you using on the 'Custom' display preset mode and adjusting the RGB controls in Eye One Match for 6500K? Try downloading the latest Eye One Match v3.6.2 software, uninstall what you have now and reinstall with the new download v3.6.2. Something's wrong with the calibration process.
Please provide your display control settings, including Brightness, Contrast, RGB Color, and any other display control settings. Here's what TFT Central used:
Calibrated Settings
(Custom mode)
luminance (cd/m2)
121
Black Point (cd/m2)
0.18
Contrast Ratio
672:1
Firstly I calibrated the screen using LaCie's software suite while also changing the monitor to the 'Custom' preset mode, affording me access to the RGB colour controls. During the calibration process the screens brightness was adjusted to 20%, with contrast being left at 50%. RGB values were altered to 92, 90 and 98 respectively. It should be noted that OSD adjustments only form part of the calibration process with the majority of changes being made automatically at the graphics card LUT level.
After calibration, the results of the test and report were far more pleasing! Luminance was corrected nicely to 121 cd/m2, with black depth being improved also to 0.18 cd/m2. This gave us a static contrast ratio of 672:1 which was adequate. The gamma was now corrected to 2.2, and colour temperature was also now recorded at 6477k (<1% out). Most impressively the colour accuracy was improved drastically, with dE average being only 0.5, and maximum being only 1.0. LaCie would consider colour accuracy to be excellent here, and this was certainly a very pleasing improvement to the default factory settings.

Red(as in the color red) is not red in h264 output

Hello to you all,
Whenever I output a h264 file with quicktime, my colors are messed up.
I have a red car on video. It's red in the original AVCHD MTS file viewed with VLC, it's still red when converted to AIC with voltaic and viewed in Quicktime. But then it happens, exporting to h264 results in a red car with a light blue cast over it, it looks purple!. Both in VLC and Quicktime.
Tried colorsync filters, probably every existing combination, only makes things worse.
Tried to attach other color profiles with automator, only makes things worse.
I have a wonderfull screenshot of this...hmm I can't attach pictures into this forum...or can I ?
Does anyone know why my car is red in the original raw footage, still red in the AIC file and NOT red but slightly purple in the h264 export.
My settings for h264 output:
Bitrate 24Mbps. Multiple cycles.

I have the same problem with my iPhone 4s - I went to the apple store and they refused to check the inside indicators for any water damage. Only the earphone LCI was trigerred.

The Color Red appearing

All of a sudden, mostly on the left side of the screen, the first letter of each word is red in several places, and my cursor is red. Just now in this text, the lower part of the letters 'y' 'J' 'p' are red, as are the upper parts of the letters 'f 'l' 'h' 'd' etc/ This is weird! Any help greatly appreciated. Tried a search, but had no luck.

Resetting PRAM
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
3. Turn on the computer.
4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
5. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
6. Release the keys.
You're only going to lose some settings like Time/Date, Monitor Resolution, and such things, all easily sattable again.

Red logo is pixelated and the color is different

Ive been trying to render a video for a while and cant seem to solve my problem. Im working with a very special filesize: 300x250. On my timeline,I have my video (which I edited in Premiere and then Imported in AfterEffects) and a top layer which is a red logo (png file made in Photoshop). On my timeline it looks fine even when it plays, but when I rendered it, the color red is off (in the original its more red-orange and comes out blood red) and the logo is pixelated. My finished video needs to be in a flv format. I think Ive tried anything that I know and still cant find a solution. There must be someone somewhere with a solution.
Im working on a pc with AfterEffects CC.
Thank you

The brand Im working for needs to remain confidential, but heres the reds inside my logo. Its like a gradient red.

VTDR-128 fx5600 - No Color Red on VGA plug (d-sub port)

okay, i have a couple other posts here and i've decided to clean up my plea for help a little bit because i've solved the worst of my problems and, being more educated, can explain things a little easier.
i will recap my experiance now:
2-3 months ago i bought my spanking new VTDR-128 fx5600 card from a well known vendor. i was given a period of 2 weeks for vendor RMA, but i waited too long as this card was intended for a system i was building for someone else. when we finally were able to test it:
1: system would crash within five minutes, max.
2: no color red output from the monitor plug (d-sub port?)
3: bad, horrible artifacting in all games and even during low resolutions 2D windows usage. after power off, card heatspreader could almost burn my finger if i touched it.
4: color looked fine on both tv-out dongle and dvi > CRT adapter that came with the card, if only i could boot for more than a few minutes at a time
i wish i had taken pictures, but one day, i was convinced the card was "dead" and i decided to take the cooler off and put it on an older card i have. i carefully removed the cooler front, then back, and noticed on the back, one of the ram chips was a smudge of thermal interface material (in the pins and such, on other components as well)
i was astonished, i jumped with glee, and spent 45 minutes with a fine bristled brush. after many inspections with a magnifying glass, and almost half a can of maxell "blast away" canned air, i put the card in my computer, re-loaded the newer drivers, installed all the msi software, and proceeded to run benchmarks!
i was so happy i could pee my pants. somewhere in the manufacturing process i think something got a little messed up and the thermal paste was smudged. even with hefty overclocks the cooler doesnt feel NEARLY as hot as my old ti4200.
many people have been disappointed with performance from this card, but i am very impressed! i was able to run halo before at ~20-30FPS, now i'm getting 50 and things are much prettier. its added 4000-6000 to my aquamark score, and i went from 11000 to 16000 in 3Dmark2001SE.
the reason i'm posting again is because i want the vga plug to work. nview dualview does not work with the DVI adapter and i use my TV for gaming. so if i want to game i have to deal with the monitor having no color red.
this card has been tried now in 3 systems, with 3 different monitors and the color RED is not visible on any (with the vga plug (d-sub))
i am forced to believe nothing is wrong with my system, and it relies solely on a mistake made in manufacturing. the card overheated and crashed and burnt before i took the heatspreader off, after cleaning the paste off it works perfectly.
so, maybe GlennVidia will be kind to tell me if:
MSI will help me fix or issue a replacement. i doubt this has happened too many times before, i am probably one out of a million buying a graphics card with this mistake.
i've made many attempts at contacting MSI support, and i've read through faqs and KB so many times i could write an encyclopaedia.
do you think MSI would even admit a mistake, i am betting that first they just tell me "i voided my warranty". that makes me want to cry! i emailed them 5 times so far, and they only tell me to "RMA with vendor" and "test in another systems" even after i explained everything...
::sigh::
i'd do anything to get this card working, i love it regardless of it's redless vga!
