TIFF files color shift after import

I just imported a project of 1Ds MIII TIFF files first converted in Capture One then imported into Aperture. In the preview and when exported they are noticeably lighter and desaturated than the originals when both are compared side by side, to the point they can't be sent off for publication purposes, and I don't want to try to compensate for something like that. Proofing is off as far as I can tell.
My copy of Aperture and OSX are up to date...
Any ideas? Thanks!

All of a sudden my RAW (Nikon D7100) files are dark after importing

Could anyone tell me why all of a sudden my NEF files from my Nikon D7100 raw files turn dark after importing them to Lightroom 4.4? I did use Dactive lighting setting in camera...is this why? Is there anyway to stop this from happening? THanks!

I can't argue with that.

That would be truer if stated thusly:
Having ADL on will make for darker initial rendering in Lightroom and reveal non-optimal ADL setting as under-exposed images.
However (and contrary to popular belief), that does NOT mean there is no value using ADL in conjunction with Lightroom for post-processing - quite the contrary: there are ALL the same benefits as when using ADL in conjunction with NX2, *except* that the compensations are applied automatically in NX2, and non-optimal setting manifests as a slight reduction in shadow image quality and not as under-exposed images when using NX2 instead of Lightroom for post-processing.

Files get corrupted after import-export

Hi
After exporting images from HTML DB 2.0 and importing them some of the files are corrupted after import.
This has happened with one .js file and with one .pdf file.
All the other (including some PDF-s) are correct.
The "File Character Set" specified on import is correct and there are no other parameters I can change.
If I look the contents of corrupted files it seems that another file has been pasted at the end of the original file.
What could be wrong?

Hello,
Any news on this ? I have the same (reproducable) problem with a .js file.
Uploading works fine, but when I try to download it again, the contents of another file seems to have been appended at the end. The file also doesn't work when I try to include it using #WORKSPACE_IMAGES#...js

Menu colors shift after build

OK, so my menus look good in DVDSP, and in the simulator. However, after building, when tested in the DVD Player, they look "washed out". Everything is lighter, less saturated...
I don't have any fancy broadcast standard video equipment here... but I'm watching DVD Player on the same monitor that I'm using to create the DVDSP project - I'm not that worried (yet) that the color is "accurate" in some way, I just want the DVD Player to look the same as the simulator - are there some settings I need to play with?
The video content itself does not seem to have a color shift from the simulator - only the menus. I did not make the menus (I mean the elements), I bought some Templates from a company that produces DVDSP Template Packs and loaded them into DVDSP.
I'm somewhat familiar with the whole issue of color spaces and gamuts etc., but I don't really see any settings in DVDSP to manage this.

I managed to fix this issue, here's what I did in case anyone else has this problem.
The issue was that the DVD template I purchased has a motion background, and when you apply the template to a menu (for example), it adds the a QuickTime movie for the background. The fact that DVDSP was rendering the .mov into a .m2v during the build is what caused the color shift.
I took the .mov background file, and ran it through Compressor to turn it into a .m2v file (with the same preset I used on all my other video), and then imported that asset and applied it to all the menus. After build, no more color shift.

Converting files to dng after import

Hi. Brand-new Lightroom 5 user here. I don't remember the dialog box showing up to ask me at the time of import whether I wanted the pics imported as dng files or not. Now that they're imported, is there a way to tell if they are already dng? I also know how to convert them one at a time, but is there a way to just have them all converted at once? (There are a few hundred.) Also I'm being asked whether I want to only convert RAW files (I'm guessing that this is the case, but let me know if I'm wrong here). And if I want to delete originals after conversion (again, I think I do, but is there a compelling reason not to delete? Can you tell I'm not a professional photographer?)
Thanks much for your help.

See screen capture.

When you have one of the files selected the .dng extention will be displayed.
I also know how to convert them one at a time, but is there a way to just have them all converted at once? (There are a few hundred.)
Sellect the files in the grid view Library module and use the Library menu to select "convert to dng" see the screen capture.
Also I'm being asked whether I want to only convert RAW files (I'm guessing that this is the case, but let me know if I'm wrong here).
There is really little benefit in converting jpeg or tiff files to dng.
And if I want to delete originals after conversion (again, I think I do, but is there a compelling reason not to delete?
If you are using only Adobe products then you may never have use for the original raw files. However your camera manufacturers software and some other raw conversion software will not work with dng files. I am not a user of dng so my opinion is to always retain a copy of your raw files.
My main reason for shooting raw is to retain the original data for the benefit of utilizing further advancements in raw conversion software in the future, including software that does not support dng files.
Can you tell I'm not a professional photographer?)
No, as far as I am concerned there are many professionals and amateurs that may not know the answers to your questions.

SRGB jpeg color shift upon import to Lightroom

Hi all,
I've tried to do enough reading to ask and intelligent question, so here goes:
I have sRGB jpegs I shot on a Nikon D80. When I import them to Lightroom, there is a color shift (as compared to the camera LCD). If I open the jpegs in Photoshop (using the embedded profile, ie. sRGB), open the jpegs in Photoshop and assign ProPhoto as the color space, or open the jpegs in Firefox, there is no color shift.
Question #1 - Why is there a shift in LR?
Question #2 - The LR (Melissa) color space is often described as "ProPhoto with a sRGB tone curve". I've not seen the mention of a tone curve in reference to sRGB or aRGB color spaces. What is it?
Question #3 - When an image with an embedded profile is imported into LR, is is always assigned to the ProPhoto space, or would it be displayed in its native color space, and only assiged to ProPhoto upon editing?
Thanks,
Michael.

Reading your question, there are a few things that really worry me. First off, Lightroom assumes images with no profile to be in sRGB, second when the image has a profile or a profile tag (such as your D80 writes) it will honor the tag. You should completely forget about the internal working space in Lightroom. It is irrelevant. The way color management in Lightroom works is the following, you take an image in its source profile which defines the colors in absolute terms, render it into the working space (linear prophotoRGB) using the source profile, which does NOT change the color, and then convert to the monitor profile for display. This is how every color managed program does it. Some skip the working space step. This means that the working space, as long as it is wide enough, does not matter for the display.
>open the jpegs in Photoshop and assign ProPhoto as the color space
And this is extremely worrisome. You should NOT assign prophotoRGB to your image. You should leave it in its embedded space, or
convert to the working space. In general leave it in its embedded space. Your photoshop settings should be as the first image in this old post: http://lagemaat.blogspot.com/2007/12/mildly-lightroom-workflow-for-printing.html . If you need to assign prophotoRGB to your image to make it appear right, implies that your monitor profile is messed up majorly.
>open the jpegs in Firefox, there is no color shift
Firefox normally does not color manage, so it always lies to you. Only when you enable tyhe secret setting will it not lie to you (provided the monitor profile is good). See here on how to enable color management in Firefox: http://lagemaat.blogspot.com/2008/06/firefox-30-released.html
>Question #1 - Why is there a shift in LR?
On a good calibrated monitor the shift should be minor. There is a shift because of color management. The displays on Nikons are good, but you cannot trust them in absolute colorimetric sense. Your shift sounds much larger than normal, which is why we think the monitor profile is probably bad.
>Question #2 - The LR (Melissa) color space is often described as "ProPhoto with a sRGB tone curve". I've not seen the mention of a tone curve in reference to sRGB or aRGB color spaces. What is it?
Again, don't worry about the color space. It is not important but for knowing that it is wide enough to handle anything you throw at it. Lightroom internally uses a color space that is 16 bits and linear and has the primaries of prophotoRGB. It does NOT use a tone curve. For its histogram display and the percentage displays, it applies a sRGB tone curve to the data, so that not everything clusters on one side of the histogram. This is only done for those two displays! Lightroom works in a linear space for everything else. A good document on this was written up by Andrew Rodney a while ago: http://www.ppmag.com/reviews/200701_rodneycm.pdf . I discuss the tone curve here: http://lagemaat.blogspot.com/2008/06/srgb-tone-curve-and-lightroom-color.html
>Question #3 - When an image with an embedded profile is imported into LR, is is always assigned to the ProPhoto space, or would it be displayed in its native color space, and only assiged to ProPhoto upon editing?
Explained above. When you're working in Develop, the image is
converted to the internal color space using the embedded profile, any edits are applied, and then it is converted to the monitor profile before display. The step in between is immaterial. It even happens in 16-bit precision to avoid obvious bit steps. In the Library module the situation is slightly different because previews that are generated from your file are used, but the result is exactly the same. There is NEVER any color space assigned to your images, except when the original files have no profile. In that case sRGB is assigned.

Bad color shift when importing jpgs

Jpegs look great in Photoshop - lots of contrast. After import into Dir. 11, the color is washed out and faded and contrast is gone. Seems like I read about a solution long ago for a different version but can't find what is happening. What gives? TIA!
Dir11 / Mac 0s 10.5.8

I'd archived some stuff and I don't have a good sample to show at the moment. Most files I import look good, some don't. Will post when soon as the problem comes up again.
And I'm importing at 32bits - that's the only depth Director allows me. My monitor setting has always been millions of colors since I first used Dir back in the mid-90's. I've just been informed in another post there's only one way around this choice - changing monitor resolution.

Par file get demage after import it to NWDS

Hi everybody,
i if download a par file from portal and import it as par into NWDS i cannot run the application in the portal
again after deploying. For example, i have downloaded com.sap.navigation.masthead.par. I rename it and
import it into NWDS. I deploy the par file and create a iView which was added to my Default Framework
page. I get the following error:
Portal Runtime Error
An exception occurred while processing your request
If i did not import the par file into NWDS and edit it manually i can deploy and run it without a problem.
regards,
Seed

Hi..
Refer this for Successful importing of .par files..
[Re: importing a .par file]
Also
Just right click on project to properties->java build path-> add external jars add the jar file servlet.jar.
You can download servlet api jars from [http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/download.html]
In addition to this,
Go to Navigator tab of the same perspective and add the same jar to lib folder..
Hope it helps..
Thanks....

Camera RAW, file not recognized after import and migration, Aperture 2.1

Hi,
I have recently purchased a 1DMKIII and am constantly getting "file not recognized" after I import and even after migrating RAW files. My 1DS MK1 RAW files have no issues. The RAW files render just fine using CS4 bridge. Any ideas here on a fix? Other than ditching Aperture (not desireable)
Thanks,
Greg

Hummmm..I have just 'manned-up' from a 2gb macbook running tiger+CS4 to a iMac 24" 8gb running leopard BUT!
I shoot RAW and the iMac will not recognize the NEF RAW files! this is soo frustrating - tried to update Camera Raw but to no avail.
please help! I've got 987 raw wedding photos to process!!
I dont know what to do!

Cant view multipage tiff files in browser after updating ITUNES

I can't view multi-page tiff files in my browser after updating Itunes. I am not sure why an Itunes update would stop the viewing of Multi-page Tiff files, but it did!
Is there a fix for this?
thanks

That's unfortunate. Are you stating that you have no backup of your media which is ultimately your responsibility?
Sorry, but if you have lost media and data and have no backup then the ONLY place to place blame is with the user that failed to backup those files.

File size changes after importing photos

Quick question here. I've been using iphoto (now using iphoto 8)for a couple years and just noticed that after importing photos (I use a variety of original formats, usually jpeg or raw) the file size in iphoto is a lot smaller than the original (roughly half). First of all, why is this? Is there any way for iphoto to retain the original size? If I try copying a photo out of iphoto, say onto my desktop, the file size remains the same as it was in iphoto. In other words, it doesn't revert back to the original.
Any idea as to why it would do this?
Some help would be much appreciated.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. When a raw file is imported iPhoto creates a jpg version so if you're looking at that and comparing to the size of the raw file, yes it will be smaller.
If you edit a photo the resulting file will be slightly smaller since there will be one level of jpeg compression added to the file. All subsequent edits will not cause any more compression because the edit instructions are saved in the database file and applied to the file for viewing, printing and exporting. That's why iPhoto calls it nondestructive editing.
If the photo is portrait oriented and comes from a camera which has the auto-rotate feature iPhoto will create a rotated version and that will contain some jpeg compression.
Dragging the photo to the desktop will bring the edited version which will be smaller. To get the original file export using the Format=Original setting as Larry has already pointed out.
If you're worried about image quality unless you will be printing a very large photo you'll be hard pressed to see any degradation in the image.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: iPhoto 8's new option in it's rebuild library window, "Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" may make this tip obsolete. We'll know when users have occasion to use it and see if that's the case.

Tiff file launches right after every boot

Earlier this week I cloned my mac's original 160gb drive to a new 500gb drive and swapped them. Everything is great, except for one thing. When the system boots up, right as the desktop becomes usable, a tiff file, MainVolumeSliderTrackDisabled.tiff opens up in Preview. This file is a part of Movist, but that app wasn't updated anywhere near the time of the drive swap. The Movist forums don't have anything even related to this issue. This happens every time the computer boots up. I have no idea what could be causing this. Any suggestions?
I booted up on the original drive once after the clone and the tiff did not launch on boot. I swapped the drive and the clone popped the file on first boot and all boots since then. I'm really at a loss on this one.

Ok, feeling a bit sheepish at the moment. I can't believe I've never even noticed the Login Items panel before. Pardon me while I go sit in the corner with a dunce cap on for a while. Thanks, R C-R!

Aif,aiff files/ play sequentiallly after imported tracks

hi. i-m try getting some help.
1st question>
Is there a way to play sequentially tracks in Adobe audtion after importing those one?
or must i play them one by one and not like an automated task?
2nd question>
After recording some new tracks i save them as *.aiff extension files, but Windows Media player is not able to play them.
All tracks have been recorded at cbr 3072 Kbytes/s, stereo, 48khz sample rate.
i use Xp sp3 fully updated, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 consumer preview as Operating Systems.
Tvm in advanced if i will have an answer.Enrico /Italy

It is always best, and more universally usable, to save your audio files as .wav. This is Auditions default format.
If you import them into the Multitrack view then you can place them sequentially and play them one after another automatically.

For the Batch Sequence that "asks" --
Something to try.
Open the Batch Sequence dialog.
Select the appropriate Batch Sequence.
Click the Edit button.
In the Edit Batch Sequence - <name of sequence> dialog, use item number 3's drop-down menu.
From the menu, select 'Same folder as originals'.
"OK" out of the dialog.
Give the Batch Sequence a test run.
Output ought to be to the same folder as that of the selected & processed files.
Be well...

Color Shift When Importing JPG Sequence into Flash CS6

I am importing a jpg sequence into flash that has been exported from After Effects CS6. No matter what I try, the color will shift when the image imports into flash. The sequence originally started out as a vector graphic in Illustrator (color profile set to sRGB IEC61966-2.1) and then imported into After Effects for an animation that I couldn't quite achive in Flash. The color profile in After Effects is also sRGB IEC61966-2.1 with the "Match Legacy" checkbox checked. I export it out of After Effects as a JPG Sequence and then import into Flash. No matter what I try, the bitmap images' color will shift (become dull) when I import. Even when I open the images in Windows Photo Gallery, they look fine - it's only when I import into Flash. I've also tried PNG and .PSD Sequence with the same result. I've searched around, but still haven't found a solution. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I am in the midst of trying to figure out the opposite : Flash to After Effects. I am betting that this is an issue of 'color profile' attached to the images and the gamma settings in that profile. RGBA is only part of the story - color profile is all the rest of it. Eye Dropper doesn't tell you the color profile attached to the image.
