Unwanted color tags showing up on exported jpegs

Aperture has started assigning color tags (in my case, orange) upon export of some JPEGs. Around 10-20 percent of the files get said tags. This happens when exporting versions either original size or 50% (I haven't experimented with any other settings) What's going on here? Aperture 3, Yosemite in use.
Thanks

Software is stupid that way . Glad your export issues are resolved.
Fwiw, I find the color labels invaluable because they can be so quickly perceived in the Browser. If you have a small series of mutually-exclusive metadata that you want to be instantly knowable while you work in Aperture, color labels are the tool of choice. I use them to indicate each Image's stage of development:
- Red = develop me!
- Orange = some adjustments applied; development not complete
- Yellow = development frozen: used in panorama or replaced by externally-edited Version
- Green = developed.
- Blue = Final Sale Version
- Purple = detail of developed
- Gray = abandon but keep

PC based client cannot see keyword tags on my exported JPEGs, PC based client cannot see keyword tags on my exported JPEGs

Hey,
Im having a very wierd problem that I can't quite get my head around and would appreciate some help!
I am delivering exported JPEGs from Aperture to a client workning in a PC environment. These photos are all Keyworded, and these keywords show up when i click the "get info" button on the exported files. Also, I was asked to double check using Adobe bridge, and low and behold, all tags are there, I can see them, and so can anyone else with a mac. (and yes I did select the embed metadata in exported files button on export!)
The problem is that when they move to the PC environment, noone can see these tags. This is a huge problem, as I am delivering around 1,000 photos to be archived in a smart database that uses the tags to sort the photos.
HELP!

The Keyword, as with Captions (Description in Photoshop) is not found in file properties, but must be seen with true photo app. OSX does provide that in a Get Info window, but that will not necessarily be true in other operating systems. Knowing the apps they have used to search for the Keyword is important.

Very dull color of Lightroom exported JPEG

My exported JPEG images from Lightroom turn out to be very dull in prints. My monitor is calibrated with EYE ONE (Color Management System). Used correct color space for the printing company (either sRGB or AdobeRGB) I followed instruction about Export process. But still color is not right. Is there anything I should do to get the same color quality as I see in the Lightroom? I think images in the lightroom show much brighter than they are after print (by printing company like Costco/Blurb/Shutterfly) Thank you very much for your help!

You need to have your monitor fairly dim (80-130 lumens or so) to reproduce color. I thought eyeone actually calibrates brightness but I could be wrong. Most people have their monitors set far too bright. Next, you need to look at your pictures using a good fairly bright lamp with much higher color temperature than most desk lamps. If you are getting dull prints (as opposed to just dark) the likely culprit is the wrong colorspace or bad calibration. Some calibrators simply turn out to be broken. Do the pictures look dull too after export in another managed app such as Photoshop, preview, etc? Lastly, you have to realize that it is simply not possible to reproduce every color you can see on a good screen on paper. This can lead to lower saturation. This is the reason why soft proofing is important, which unfortunately is not yet possible in Lightroom.

Google calendar event color tags not showing up in IPhone iCal - any fixes?

I have an iPhone 4 (iOS 5.1.1) and am trying to sync my google calendar to the built in iCal app. The events sync both ways, but the color tags I assign to each event does not sync. It used to bother me that the only way to color code events in google calendar was to create multiple calendars, but it seems as though google calendar has added the ability to change the color for each event so I'm going back to google calendar. For example, my classes are in blue, exams are in pink, meetings are turquoise, etc.
I synced my google calendar to the iPhone iCal (via settings, turned on calendar tab listed under gmail account that I use for my google calendar), and all the events sync correctly (can add events on google calendar or iPhone and it syncs), but the colors do not sync. When I view my iPhone iCal all the events from my google calendar are the same color, even if they have different color tags when viewed online. Also, when I add an event on the iPhone iCal, the event syncs to the google calendar but there is no option to change the color tag for the event and it shows up as the default grey color when viewed online.
Is there a way to fix this? Or is this something that google and apple have not resolved?
I would prefer not to use a third party app, but I might consider it if there is no other fix. Thanks!

Hello lulu and welcome to the Palm forums.
I don't know of a way to make the color codes from iCal sync with the color codes on the Palm Z22. The Missing Sync for Palm OS has more features than Palm Desktop, but I also don't believe it will sync the category color codes.

Re-Post Exported Jpeg Color Shifted...Why? (see photos)

What's up with this? I exported a photo to sRGB and noticed when viewing in the browser and in Microsoft Digital Image 2007 the photo is too yellow and not enough red flesh tones. I'm concerned that when I take these to be developed they will come out with the yellowed version. (My monitor is color profiled by Pantone Huey and the print from Lightroom is accurate.)

I do wonder if your profile is off a tad, or perhaps you're not using the one you recently calibrated.

ANN: LRViewer now shows ratings and 100% views; exports JPEGs; customizable

(LRViewer is a free app for the Mac and Windows that allows you to view Lightroom images and metadata without using Lightroom itself. Previously announced here.)
A major LRViewer upgrade, Version 1.1, is now available for download from ImageIngester.com. You can now:
* See ratings (1 - 5 stars) along with the image file name.
* Zoom in to see a 100% view, and then pan with the mouse.
* Export JPEGs with EXIF and XMP info.
This version also includes LRVmaker so that photographers can customize the appearance and behavior of LRViewer for their clients by:
* Placing a logo on the screen.
* Showing a button that goes to the photographer's web site.
* Opening a catalog automatically when LRViewer starts up.
* Starting with a selected collection or other outline item, and controlling which outline items show.
* Marking images with a watermark.
* Preventing clients from accessing EXIF info and metadata, from viewing images above a certain size, and from exporting JPEGs.
For more information or to download LRViewer and LRVmaker, go to ImageIngester.com.

For those of you that have been looking for a tool to 'rescue' your images when you lose your originals, this is it. If you have rendered 1:1 previews, it will even give you that preview from the database. So this is worth buying even if you are just using it as a well designed 'rescue' tool.
Imagine being able to go up to any computer, even if it does not have Lightroom installed, plug in a USB thumb drive, and view a catalog that you put on that thumbdrive. This is what the tool allows. And LRVmaker adds lots of customization if want to leave a copy of your catalog behind for someone else to review.

The availability of color space in RAW, TIFF and JPEG files

This is useful if your new to DSLR photography.
This is Nikon response on my question in the discussion: View photo metadata
I'm assuming that you know that Adobe RGB shows about 50% and sRGB 35% of CIELAB color space.
In a DSLR camera like the Nikon D800 you can select a color space (Adobe RGB or sRGB) in the shooting menu.
In Adobe Lightroom 4.3 the RAW metadata shows no color space info. Therefore I asked why not?
In the (Dutch) Nikon D800 manual on page 84 (about RAW) and 274 (about color space) and Nikon FAQ website there is no descripton about the color space availability/behavior in RAW, JPEG and TIFF files.
In the book "Mastering the Nikon D800 by Darrel Young" on page 125 - 126 is written: "If you shoot in RAW format a lot, you may want to consider using Adobe RGB....."
All experts on this forum answered: color space does not apply/affect the RAW data file or RAW files have no color space.
The respone of Nikon Europe Support (Robert Vermeulen) was: In Nikon D800 NEF RAW files both color spaces (Adobe RGB and sRGB) are always physically available. In JPEG and TIFF files only the in the shooting menu selected color space is physically available. So the forum experts gave the correct answer!
Of course you can convert afterwards a JPEG or TIFF file with sRGB color space to Adobe RGB but you don't get more colors.
When you install the Microsoft Camera Codec Pack or FastPictureViewer Codec Pack they only show color space metadata for JPEG and TIFF files and nothing for RAW because color space "doesn't exist". I thought the codec packs removed the color space metadata for my RAW files.
Adobe Lightroom also can not show color space for RAW files because that "doesn't exist".

I still think this is an evasive answer that doesn't really pinpoint the exact chain of events that take place. They are:
1. The raw file contains the naked data captured by the sensor. This is just a very dark grayscale image.
2. In the raw converter it is encoded into a working color space to process the information. In Lightroom this is known as "Melissa RGB", or linear gamma Prophoto. It is also demosaiced to bring back the color information.
3. From Lightroom it can be exported to one of the familiar color spaces like sRGB or Adobe RGB. This is, in principle at least, a normal profile conversion.
These three steps are what the camera does to produce a jpeg. So the basic steps are the same, the camera is just doing it automatically (and usually butchering the image in the process...).
This Darrell Young is, I'm sure, an excellent photographer, but in this he is seriously confused and just propagating a common myth. Anyway, thanks for bringing up this discussion, hope you didn't object too much to the tone of the answers... Our only concern here was to get this right and with no room for misunderstanding.

Exported JPEGs from LR2.7 are too orange

I am using LR 2.7 and a color calibrated EIZO Color Edge 222W monitor. When I export images as JPEGs and view the images using Windows Picture and Fax viewer the images ae significantly color shifted to the orange. It doesn't matter which color space I use for exporting. If I import that JPEG image back into LR and compare it to the original they are identical. This appears to be a recent phenomenon as I have not noticed it in the past. I recently installed PS CS5 on my computer. Thinking there may be a connection, I uninstalled CS5 but the problem persists.
Can anyone help me resolve this problem?
Thanks

That monitor is a wide gamut monitor. You cannot trust non-color managed apps on that at all. They will NOT show you what other people see. On such a monitor you have to use a color managed browser such as Firefox (make sure to calibrate to a v2 matrix profile. Firefox does not support v4 monitor profiles) and Safari. Firefox can be set up to even color manage untagged images. Chrome is not color managed on windows but is on Mac OS X Snow Leopard. The only fix for this if you don't want to use anything but IE is to buy another monitor with a gamut closer to sRGB.

Color space conversion problem when importing JPEG's

Hi,
I'm currently playing with the trial version of LR. While importing JPEG's with different color spaces (sRGB and Adobe RGB) to LR I've noticed a strange effect: There is a small but noticable difference in color, depending if the JPEG was previously saved in AdobeRGB, or sRGB. All the images I've tested so far should not contain critical colors that exceed normal sRGB. When opened in CS2 both versions of a JPEG, AdobeRGB and sRGB, typically look perceptually identical, no matter if I leave the sRGB image to sRGB, or convert it to the working space (AdobeRGB). Also my color-managed image viewer behaves as it should. So I don't think it's a matter of the different color spaces.
Looking at the imported images in LR I would say that the AdobeRGB image is correctly converted while the sRGB image suffers from a slight reddish cast, most noticable in skin tones. The effect is not as strong as if I would load the sRGB image into CS2 and skip color conversion to my working space (AdobeRGB).
The sRGB versions of the JPEG's were obtained from the AdobeRGB JPEG's using CS2 for conversion.
Anyone else here experienced a similar problem? Is this a bug in the xRGB-to-ProPhotoRGB conversion of LR, or a feature?
/Steffen

Hi Uli,
thanks for pointing me to your thread. I followed the discussion with great interest. Actually, I think the effect I am describing here is of different nature and a LOT stronger, at least for the type of images I've tested.
I did some more experiments yesterday with interesting results:
1) When I export a processed RAW from LR to JPEG or PSD, no matter what Color Space (I tested AdobeRGB, sRGB and ProphotoRGB), and re-import those JPEG/PSD's to LR, they look absolutely identical to the RAW I started with. Also, at first glance, they look similar when opened in CS2, but only because I tested with color images. I can indeed see small differences when testing with B/W, as you described in your "Color management bug" thread.
2) When I change the color space of an PSD or JPEG inside CS2 (I used the default setting 'relative colorimetric') and save it to JPEG and then import this JPEG to LR, colors are far off. The strength of this mostly reddish color cast depends on the color space of the imported JPEG, strongest for Prophoto, less strong for Adobe and sRGB. Interestingly, when I convert the color space inside CS2 and save the result to PSD, it will display correctly when imported in LR. Another interesting side effect: the thumbnails of LR-exported JPEG's in the "Open" dialogs of CS2 and LR (I guess those are not color-managed) show the typical color-flatness for the Adobe and even more the ProPhoto version. For the CS2-converted JPEG's, all thumbnails look just a colorful as the thumbnail of the sRGB version.
3) Such an image which doesn't display correctly in LR will keep its color cast when exported again to a JPEG (not sure about PSD). So something goes wrong with the color conversion during the import of such CS2-converted images.
My explanation so far is that CS2 uses a slightly different way of coding the colorspace information in the metadata of JPEG's which somehow prevents LR to recognise the color space correctly.
Can you confirm this behaviour?
Steffen

Exported Jpeg's when sent to photo lab print too dark

I have had consistent results with exported jpeg images that look fine on my monitor (as raw files)and show in the histogram in lightroom 2.5 as the highlights just starting to clip as printing too dark when sent to a photo lab in SRGB. Is this a fault of my monitor? I have calibrated the monitor, a Dell S2409W, using charts on the website at http://www.normankoren.com/makingfineprints1A.html but this still happens. Will darkening the Monitor help or will the images still clip at the same point? I have been able to send a second image with the exposure and or brightness boosted a bit and they print brighter, but this is a pain. What is the best way to correct this so that I can see the same image as I get back from the lab?

hello henrykipson,
you said that you want starting an professional laboratory business,i can talking about this because i had a laboratory until some years ago .i hope that you made some artistic study,so it's more easy for you to learn this topic.you must study,an pass an examination for take an artigianal licence that allow you to open this activity ,the licence given you the opportunity to work either for sale photografic material either to shoot and developing,one time that you had pass this examination you must gone to the police autority and inform these of your business (is under police control.because you work with chemical material,and also because you had a reservate people information,and they must given you their assent.)after all you can start to buy a good developer and print machine beyond to have a dark room.for manual print.you must decided if do you want work in black and white or color.You can do both but is better to specialize by one of them ,like you want.
Remember from the digital events many people print his image at home,you must deciding maybe is better to work with a professional photographer,that can given you more work.itsn't easy.you must have a good preparation because ,they are more exigent.The good results depend also from the quality of your works.a good machine,good chemical product,good upkeep,of your laboratory.(in italy this is the procedure,i think also in other country,because is a ticklish question licence.)I hope that this my little explanation are useful to you.Good luck .

Color difference between LR and Export?

Hey there,
I've upgrade my system, installed Win 8.1 fresh, latest Lightroom, etc.
I'm using an Eizo CG 277 Monitor which is calibrated.
When re-importing my catalog, I noticed that there seemed to be a change in saturation, I had to correct
many photos.. no idea why.
I then did a test export, JPEG, 90% Quality, no resizing and compared it in Firefox and other programmes.
The photo really had different colors in LR and Firefox, and I have no idea why. Here is a sample that should
show the difference, left is LR, right is Firefox:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/311345/compare.jpg
Can anyone tell me what I have missed? I don't get it.. but I can't work like this.
Thanks,
Christoph

D'oh...
I've restarted Windows and now it seems to be gone... is it possible that if I do a calibration while LR is running, it will not
update the profile somehow? Very weird..
Is there a way I can undo changes for the current image? If I undo, it always moves around between the images I have last selected etc, I'd like
the undo history be for the current image I am looking at

Imported NEF appears much different in LR than exported JPEG

Hello there, hopefully someone can help me with this issue. I am using a Nikon D200 w/ LR 2.0 on WinXP Pro. The NEF image I am editing in Lightroom appears much different than what is exported from that image into a jpeg (it does not matter whether it is sRGB, AdobeRGB, or ProPhotoRGB). In lightroom the image is darker and more yellowish than what LR exports from this image. Here is a
link to an image showing exactly what I am talking about. The image on the right is in LR, and on the left is the exported jpeg preview, which looks the same in firefox or windows picture and fax viewer. Just to note, the exported image looks to be correct with what I preview on my camera, LR is what is off. I have also tried all the camera profiles by adobe labs and none of them seem to make things correct. Any help would be awesome, this is driving me nuts because I have no idea what my outputted image is actually going to look like.

The reason why this happens is that Windows has associated an incorrect profile with your monitor. The only way to get a correct profile is to calibrate but you can also cheat and make windows assume your monitor is sRGB (which it isn't). To do this, go to your monitor's properties page, go to the color management tab and delete any profile shown there. This will make Windows assume you have a perfect sRGB monitor and will make Lightroom appear identical to sRGB exports in every other program (even unmanaged ones). They will all be slightly off colour though, even Lightroom, but will probably look like your friend's monitor. After you have done this as a first-aid measure, go out and buy a real calibrator.

Parallelogram images showing up on exported PDF

I'm exporting a PDF (map) from ArcGIS Desktop. I've worked with Desktop for quite a number of years, and have exported hundreds of similar PDFs.
During a print test I noticed what appears to be a white band running from one edge of the data frame to another.
When I fire up Acrobat to view the PDF what I find is that the band is made up of two images next to each other.
I went through the original map files but can't find anything that would explain these shapes showing up on the PDF. For what it's worth, exported jpegs look fine.
This link should take you to a page with a link to the exported PDF. The red rectangle shows where you can get the images to highlight if you click around a bit.
Thanks
Tom

Sukrit
Don't misunderstand. I'm not blaming Acrobat or Reader at all. I was just posting in the hope that someone who might have been working with ArcGIS Desktop (or who recognizes these images) could point me to where the images are being created.
I'm assuming I'm doing something wrong, but, as I mentioned, I've worked with GIS Desktop for quite a number of years exporting hundreds of PDFs. I've never seen this happen before.

RAW and Exported Jpegs in same catalog

I use lightroom to import raw files from my Nikon. Then i edit them and export the good ones to jpeg on my network share for viewing. When i import jpegs from my compact camera i import them directly to my network share. Before i always had the jpegs in to the same catalog just under the other path. But now with face recognitioning i get the face from both places with the exported ones. Is there a way to stack the jpeg with the raw file so that they only show once?

Raw and Jpeg next to each other can be treated as the same file, but only if they are in the same physical folder and have the same name.
Are your exported Jpeg files then re-imported into LR in a different folder? That's a problem for what you want to do (and in general I don't recommend reimporting duplicate images).
LR could do a great job of managing your network share using a published folder, if you included the Jpegs from your compact camera on the loca folder along with the raw images. With publish services and a published folder, LR will create (and remove) Jpeg images in a managed location you choose, and you don't need to worry about reimporting duplicates.

Exported JPEGs Distorted in Shadow Areas

I own a Nikon D7000 and I shoot 14bit RAW.
In Lightroom 3.3 the preview images were distorted, only in development mode the images were fine. I reported to Adobe on this and they seem to have fixed this issue.
In Lightroom 3.3 -- and still in 3.4 -- the exported JPEGs are distorted when the exported image is resized:
A lighter version of the same crop (for illustrative reasons):
As you can see, the gradient has serious artefacts, especially when going from green to black. It is a 90% JPEG quality exported of 1050px width. I have seen this for different image qualities (80-100%), though. This does not occur when the image is exported full size.
Can anybody confirm this?
It seems that this only happens for dark shadows.
I had a Canon G9 that I used with Lightroom and I have never seen a behaviour like this. Right now the export is useless to me.

I've had some discussions about this with Adobe folks during the LR 3 beta phase, but that is all behind a wall now. I think they did put in the dithering into Lightroom now. I still think it is your monitor profile. Also realize that the displays in laptops including the MacBook Pros are not actually full 8-bit displays and you will always see some banding in them. See for example this page: http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/gradient.php My guess is that that will show banding on your machine in the shadow areas. Also another issue is that you have to look at these displays at precisely the right angle because you will get raised shadows by quite a bit if you look at them just a few degrees off. One thing to do is to use a test image ( I use monitor_test_txt22.png from this page: http://www.normankoren.com/makingfineprints1A.html ). When you squint the image should be uniform. If not slant the display until it looks uniform.
