White Balance and Color are off!!! NEF D80

I was unable to get my images to appear as I shot them. I shoot with a Nikon D80 and shoot with a Vivid setting. Now after shooting a wedding of more than 1500 images I have to find a way to color correct them all. I have attempted the downgrade to the previous version, unsuccessful. I have forwarded on my comments to apple and find that this issue effects tens of thousands of photos. As a MFA student at a major university, and studying color management and workflow, I feel I need to look elsewhere for file management as iPhoto is not able to do the job and the fact that it affects my entire library system of photos... simply unacceptable. I have always found the discussion groups extremely helpful, but this issue has effected so many of us and is such a huge integral part of the photographic process that I need to look to other programs to effectively handle my color management.
Disappointing.

You might look atMedia Expression as a DAM (digital asset management) application for your work. It's the M$ version of iView MediaPro which MS bought out. It is a professional DAM application. There's also Aperture, Bridge and Lightroom. You can learn more about these from professional photographers at the DAM forum: http://thedambook.com/smf/index.php
iPhoto is an entry level DAM application geared more for the home photographer.
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) 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 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: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Photos placed in muse are dull and colors are off

When I place a picture from photoshop into adobe muse the image looks dull and the colors are off from the original photo. I am saving the image in photoshop to a jpeg and then placing into adobe muse. Any suggestions?

In Photoshop chose Edit > Convert to profile. Here you can change the profile to sRGB and thake a preview of the result before apply the profile to your photo.

RE: White Balance and Color Temperature

Can we do the same kind of White Balancing, Like we have In Photoshop Camera Raw, In Premiere pro ?
Also, can we change the Color Temperature In Premiere Pro?
Thanks.

Photoshop CC has made Camera RAW available as a filter. That means it is easy to use it on video.
Can you do anything in Camera RAW to a video that you can't do the hard way with color correction and levels, etc, in Premiere Pro? No. Is it easier because you are used to the sliders? You bet!
This first frame is from a video I shot to test the codecs my camera can use. The trees are rather dark, because, well, I didn't care when I shot the video. I was concerned with the movement of the juggling toys.
But if I take it into Photoshop and use Camera RAW I can do very quickly what would take a lot longer, for me, in Premiere Pro. You will have to take my word for it that the color of the shirt in the corrected frame is more realistic. The Camera RAW settings were pretty much what I do to almost all of my photographs. Very slight adjustment to exposure, a little clarity, bring out the shadows, bring down the highlights that are too white and bring up the contrast.

Itouch has green tint to screen and colors are off like a convergence in TV

My brother showed me his Itouch and it has a green tint to it similar to a magnet to the old CRT computer monitors. How can I fix this I have tried updating and restoring the Itouch.

My screen resolution is not clear and colors are not correct

My screen resolution is off and colors are off and there is no help on users guide

Resolution and coloures are 'off' how ? Is it on every app and on the homescreen ? In terms of resolution are you refferring to using iPod / iPhone apps with '2x' enabled ?
Have you tried a reset to see if that makes any difference ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Command Click in edit changes color white balance and tint in edit

Command Click in edit changes color white balance and tint in edit, what is happening?

robwouds:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Must be a hidden keyboard combination for temperature and tint. Not sure if the user can set different settings of each that the keystrokes will take you thru. Just hit the reset button in the Adjust pane to get it back to normal.

White Balance in Color

I have been using Color for my first short film and I wanted to get feedback about my process in balancing the white balance. Color is absent the easy white balance eye-dropper. So this is my process in the Primary In room.
1. Balance the contrast - crushing blacks and boosting the highlights.
2. Balance skin tone using the mid-tones color wheel.
3. "Eye-ball" the white balance by moving the Highlights color wheel until I achieve whites I deem white.
Do the scopes help me balance the white better? Is this a proper process? After I complete these steps I move to saturation and secondary CC.
Thoughts?

If you were airline pilots, I'm not sure I'd want to fly with that carrier. Instruments are there for some reason, I guess, but you don't need 'em on ultralights, but on second thought maybe that's why there are so many stall-spin fatals. Hmmmmm. Well, anyway...
COLOR does have an auto balance, but it needs something in the frame that really wants to be R=G=B, because that is what it does, after sneaking a peak at where the corresponding Y-luminance sits. Sometimes its a reasonable starting point. But if the brightest thing in the picture really is a brilliant blue, then it won't work.
COLOR is concatenated Primary In, Secondary, COLORFX, Primary Out deliberately. The opening premise is to achieve a balanced, non-clipped, non-crushed image to send onwards for qualified-area corrections, look enhancement, and then overall final contrast, overexposure and black crushing at the end in Primary OUT. That was the idea. Its how Silicon Color trained the first round of Final Touch operators. You are free to pursue any avenue that achieves the result you desire.
Use of instruments. It is possible to use the scopes to achieve balance, especially using the vectorscope display. One of the simplest concepts is to learn to "lay the furball over the origin". Eventually you will figure out what part of the furball corresponds to the white point, the black origin, and how to guide the values into a particular area, especially when hue matching scene-to-scene in the still store. One of the egregious drawbacks of the COLOR scopes is the omission in the RGB parade of the Y signal. That would be most helpful (to people who pay attention to that stuff) and its why its the default on most outboard scopes. I'm particularly fond of the Tektronix Double-Diamond gamut display... makes getting a grey scale as simple as "standing up" the two trees.
Strictly speaking you don't really need to know what the exact numbers are, until you try to get a project past a QA somewhere. Those people have no sense of humour.

Correcting white balance and exposure

Does FCE offer good ways to fix bad white balance and underexposure?
I just tested the video filter for underexposure and color and they improve things are just pathetic compared to an edit an editor friend did in full Final Cut. So maybe FCE can do better and I just missed or did not see what to do?

You would probably do better with the 2-way color corrector than what you originally did. The 3-way in FCP is a better tool but the 2-way is what comes with FCE.
In general, with the 2-way color corrector you should start adjustments this way:
Click the Auto Contrast button once
Then do Auto Black followed by Auto White (one click each)
Then adjust the Mids if necessary.
After all that, play with the color balance..
To better white balance your shot it often helps to crank the Saturation slider all the way up, then use the eyedropper tool at the lower left of the Balance wheel to select something in your shot that should be truly white (white, not necessarily bright). Since the saturation slider is all the way up, any adjustments you make will be exaggeraged but that helps you get it right. You can make further adjustments to get the whites as neutral as possible and then slide the saturation back down to a more normal level. It takes some noodling, but it can be done.

Colors are off

I've used previous Photoshop versions and recently upgraded to Photoshop CS5 (I've used the same Dell monitor with previous versions and it looked just fine before). For some reason the colors I use in Photoshop CS5's work-space are off.
For example, the menu and interface is the perfect grey color, yet when I select a grey on my workspace, it shows as a tan color (see attached image). The only way to make it show the true colors (its not just the greys, all colors are off), is if I select in View>Proof Setup>Monitor RBG, then select View>Proof Colors. Even in CMYK, the colors are off.
My Color Settings Working Spaces are set to:
RGB: sRGB IEC61966-2.1 (I've tried changing this to "Monitor RGB" and "Adobe RGB (1998)" and it doesn't help my issue)
CMYK: U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2
Gray: Dot Gain 20%
Spot: Dot Gain 20%
Even though it looks off, when I Save for Web, the greys and the rest of the colors are saved normally. So it's just in my workspace, which makes it hard to figure out what true color I'm using as I'm designing.
I don't understand why this is happening and how to fix it. I shouldn't have to turn on Proof Colors - Monitor RGB every single time I open Photoshop. And of course, I can't even view it with Monitor RGB Proof Colors on when I'm working in CMYK. Any suggestions?

I haven't had specifically the problem you are seeing, but it's possible the factory monitor profile is just wrong or corrupted.
Removing that Dell profile from within the Devices tab is required to get your system to use the system default sRGB profile, and if the sRGB profile doesn't give you accurate color (I believe the 2208 is a wide gamut monitor, so it probably won't) you may need to use a calibration device if you want really accurate color.
Some rules of thumb to consider:
If you want your non-color-managed output of sRGB files (e.g., most stuff shown by Internet Explorer) to exactly match what you see in Photoshop, just use the Windows default sRGB profile for the monitor profile (i.e., remove the 2208 profile).
If you want colorimetrically accurate color from your color-managed applications (e.g., Photoshop), then you'll want to remove the profile and specifically calibrate your monitor using a device made for the task. In this case, Photoshop and other color-managed apps will use the document and monitor profiles and accurately display your images, but non-color-managed apps will not, and will thus look different (in your case, much more saturated).
You might want to make a copy of that file (C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color\SP2208WFP_DVI.ICM) in a safe place before making any changes; I'm not sure whether removing it from the dialog might actually delete it.

Powerline symbol colors are off

Issues with White Balance and other camera setting...

I have found a glitch with the camera on the Lumia 800: When you try to change a different white balance setting- (try it with incandescent so you can see the difference) as well as changing the scene (ie to portrait mode) it will flip back to auto white balance, although it will say that it is still incandescent. If you change the scene first and then the white balance and save those settings, it will take one picture like that and then revert back to auto white balance again for the next shot, but again it will tell you that it is still incandescent. (You can clearly see the white balance difference between the 2 shots, even though the camera settings say they should be the same). The whole point of saving settings is so that you can take multple shots with the same settings. I have spent hours on the phone to Nokia trying to explain this to them and they have assured me that it will be fixed in the next update. I took the phone back to the Orange shop and we tried 3 different handsets and they all had the same problem.
I also have the same problem with video autofocus that lots of people have mentioned. Has anyone found a solution yet? The main reason I got this phone (only last week) was for the camera so I am diappointed. I am a photographer so I am really fussy about cameras! They have said in the Orange shop that I can change the Lumia for another phone, such as a Galaxy S2, which is also an awesome phone. The thing is, I really love the Lumia otherwise. I really like the fact that I don't have an iPhone anymore, for a start!!
Does anyone think the network you are on makes a difference? It's just that several people have suggested that there could be a conflict with the Orange software and the Nokia/Windows software. Does anyone else have this problem who is not with Orange?

Thanks for all of your valuable suggestions.
The problem was compounded when there were drastic shifts in the levels of ambient light also occuring at the same time.
Happy Holidays to everyone.

TS2771 what to do my ipod touch 4g is updated to ios6 now it has a white scren and wont turn off and to top it off the homebutton does not work at all

what to do my ipod touch 4g is updated to ios6 now it has a white scren and wont turn off and to top it off the homebutton does not work at all please help me

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
-When it says place the iPod in recovery mode use this program instead of the buttons.
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

White balance and RAW

I have been importing RAW files from my Canon S70 for a while, and everything has worked very well. Recently, however, imported RAW files are showing up with the incorrect white balance in iPhoto (different from the one they were taken with on the camera). If I open the same RAW file in any other editor the correct white balance is displayed. Does anyone know how I might fix this?
The weird part is that it didn't used to do this--iPhoto used to display all my RAW files w/ the white balance they were taken with. It was nice because I could just export JPGs directly. Now, however, I have to open them up in another editor and export so they have the correct WB.
Any help would be great, thanks.

Heya Black eyes,
I've never heard of this one before except in an instance where the person was using Photoshop CS to edit the files right after importing them into iPhoto (Photoshop was adding its own colorprofile and throwing off poor iphoto).
Consider removing ~/library/caches, and ~/library/preferences/com.apple.iphoto.plist, and ~/pictures/iphotolibrary/albumdata.xml to the trash.
Restart your computer.
Test iPhoto - does the issue persist?
If so then try creating a new iphoto library by launching iphoto with the option key.
Import from your camera to there.
If it works then your original iphoto library needs to be rebuilt following kbase 107947 and using all 4 options.
If not then I would make sure that the color sync profiles on your system as a whole have not been changed.
Hope that helps!
Cheers!

Print Problems / Colors are off - mixing colors / grainy/ banding

Printer is set up with ICC profile and uses RGB mode. Printed colors are extremely off - tons of white spots / lines / smudge marks in the ink & the colors seems to be mixing. High res images are printing out extremely pixelated.
Using Ricoh sg3110DN printer; subli-jet R inks
If anyone knows what causes any of the following issues, please help. Any input is much appreciated.

The colors being off, in the picture it looks like too much red, sounds like a misconfiguration of the printer and PS regarding color profiles.
I don’t have your printer, or one even remotely similar, so cannot comment on what to click on or what things are called in your printer driver, but typically what you do is, only have PS, or sometimes the printer, handling the color management. If neither is or both are doing color-management then things will be off, because either neither is correcting the colors or both are, when only one should be.
What you should try, first, is to turn off color management in the printer driver, somehow, using the Print Settings button at the top of PS's Print panel, then configure PS-Print to Color Handling to say Photoshop Manages Colors and specify the proper ICC profile into the Printer Profile area . This is probably the ICC you mention in your first sentence, or whatever ICC matches your printer model and specific paper and ink set you’re using.
Another possibility is that your monitor is not profiled and calibrated properly so the printer is showing the real colors and you’ve adjusted your images wrong. I think this is much less likely to be the issue in your photograph.
As for the other spots, lines, marks, I have no idea. Unless your image has noise or your camera sensor is very dirty, this are unlikely to be coming from PS, and may be some printer misconfiguration that is using the wrong amount of ink, or a printer hardware failure.

White Balance and other Mayhem

This past weekend I was shooting as usual when unexpectedly for several minutes, it was “open season”, anything goes color wise so the footage from that segment is filled with totally inappropriate tints, hues and false coloration like all of the sudden the white balance went haywire amongst other factors.
Then, thrown in for good measure the lighting keep shifting from light to dark to light.
Accordingly, my questions are these:
My goal is to somehow salvage these minutes if it isn’t too much work assuming it can be made to look right. The problem is all of my color correcting experience to date has been solely with digital photography. I have none at all with Premiere and CS3 which appears to eb very involved and complex comparatively speaking. Is there a solution that a newbie to color correction could pursue to some level of success at least as a viable starting point that anyone care to share and explain in some detail?
Does CS 3 have any autofixes or functions exclusively recommended for white balance issues?
For example digital photo editing programs have sliders named just that or maybe they’ll be split between temperature and another associated parameter.
Thanks as any information, suggestions or advice acquired will be used to learn and grow.

Thanks for all of your valuable suggestions.
