Why do my pictures look different on my Nikon camera than they do in Lightroom 4

I am having trouble! I don't know if it's lightroom 4 or what's going on but the pictures that I take with my Nikon D300s look so much better in my camera than they do on my computer. When I import them into lightroom 4, it almost looks like the white balance and exposure changes. I always import them with 'none' selected for develop settings and metadata but i don't know if there's another option I can change to fix this. I've tried everything. Please help!

Webpages look different on all mac browsers than they do on IE

Ok, I just purchased an IMAC 27inch and I am not happy. The WebPages I used to do my job on my windows machine worked fine. On my IMAC, they look different, as if part of the page is lying on tope of another part of it, or like the tables used to create the web page are skewed.
I have tried this on Safari, Firefox and Opera. I went back to the mac store and brought the webpage up on the model in the store and the same thing happen. The sales person downloaded and installed Chrome and there was no change. It did the same thing on chrome.
Has anyone had a similar problem? WebPages looking different on the IMAC than they do on windows IE? I need to get this figured out fast or I will just take this thing back. I have 11 days left on the 14 day return policy. Help.
I will try and figure out how to upload a pdf of both WebPages to this thread

So, is this your first Mac? I remember when I switched over from a PC, I had the exact same issue. Trust me on this one, there is nothing wrong with your computer, it simply takes time to mentally adjust to the differences. It looks as if Safari does not show the complete webpage, or looks as if it is cutoff, or as you said, "skewed." But it is not, your eyes are so used to the IE format and your brain has grown so accustomed to your internet experience being a certain way that it takes time to get used to it. I posted the EXACT same question five years ago in this forum and everyone told me what I am telling you and I got pretty upset with some very knowledgeable people. Now I feel like a fool for having disagreed because I see nothing wrong with it at all, but I am using the same exact computer I was five years ago (I love IMac's, how many PC's can one say that about) You will get used to it, no doubt about it.

Why do iPhoto folders look different on iPad?

Why do iPhoto folders look different on the iPad? When I launch the Photos app on the iPad you get a list of photos and photo albums that I have synced from my laptop. All is fine. However...
The photo albums are in a different order.....I can't see name or tag data with the folders .... impossible to search for specific pictures by name......Mainly, the entire interface is so different. Instead of simple vertical list of photo albums (as on the Mac or the iPhone, iPod, the iPad presents you with an array of those graphic-image photo piles -- the ones where the first picture in the album is shown on top, etc.
Does this bother anyone else? Anyway to make photos and photo albums on the iPad more closely resemble the photo/album list you see on the Mac?
David in KC

The Photos app on the iPad is just a basic photo viewer and isn't as sophisticated as iPhotos on the Mac and has limited functionality. Third-party apps will probably give you more of the functionality that you mention, but you can't change the Photos app.

Team Blog: Why does my page look different in BrowserLab?

Duane O'Brien, engineer on the BrowserLab team has a new blog post on the BrowserLab Team blog that you might find interesting. It covers when/why you might see rendering differences between the BrowserLab browsers and your local browsers. Good info.

Exported pictures look different when uploaded to websites.

I noticed that exported pictures from Lightroom uploaded to Facebook or Shutterfly look different that when viewing the same exported pictures on my pc. Why is that? The exported pictures were not adjusted, maybe only cropped and red eyes were removed. Yet the colors appear different when viewing the same pictures on Facebook or in Shutterfly. If I upload exact the same picture directly from my picture folder, the colors look different. I wonder why this is happening.

Export as sRGB will always help; however most browsers are not colour managed so the colour reproduction can vary anyway even when using sRGB. Only Safari is fully managed, Firefox works up to a point (it only uses icc v2 profiles, not v4 it will be OK with LR as LR presently exports to the v2 version of sRGB) or browsers don't honour profiles at all. Calibrating your monitor is also an important factor here and a hardwear device is required to do this correctly.
How an image looks in non colour managed applications cannot be a basis for jusdging an image so only fully colour managed applications (such as LR or PS) should ever be used for processing.

Why do my raws look different when I view them in Adobe Bridge/Adobe Camera Raw and Canons Digital P

Hello all,
I am sorta new to taking Raw photographs and I have been been using Adobe Bridge/Camera Raw to edit. When I take my photos (I am using a Canon t2i) I have it set to save a raw and a jpg. When I view these images in Adobe Bridge/Camera Raw I notice a clear difference in the jpg and raw (I understand the whole concept behind raw vs. jpg. so im not questioning why one looks different) It is obvious all the adjustments that were applied to my jpg. vs the natural raw. My question is: When I view the same two images in the software that came with my camera, canon digital photo professionals, the canon and raw look almost identical.... My assumption is that canon is applying the same "adjustments" to my raw as it did to the jpgs? Has anyone used these two programs and noticed this?
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Can't say I'm an expert on DPP myself either. I've only run it a few times myself.
If you're seeing Photoshop freeze just by looking at the File Info tab, that's certainly not expected and you should start a tread specifically to discuss that. The forum may be able to help you get that working.
I happen to like the color my camera delivers in its embedded JPEGs (which I use to quickly review shots via IrfanView). Starting with that color in Camera Raw by default just feels very natural and integrated.
Without a specific custom profile to help you with the task, here's my suggestions for the next best thing:
1. Take an image with a range of different colors in it.
2. Open the embedded JPEG also using whatever means you have to do so.
3. Open it also in Camera Raw and make sure you're using the Camera Raw default parameters.
4. Go into the Camera Calibration tab (little camera icon), and choose the Camera Standard profile as provided by Adobe.
5. Tweak the various sliders so as to match the color between what you're seeing in the JPEG and Camera Raw.
6. Save new Camera Raw defaults.
Some notes:
Make sure you leave the White Balance on As Shot, since storing a specific white balance is probably not going to be helpful.
Test your settings and repeat the above to tweak them as needed using other images.
Keep in mind that not every application does proper color-management. IrfanView can be set up to do so, and I don't recall whether you have to tweak a default setting to make it do that or not (it's been a while).
Hope this helps!

Why does Muse website look different Mac vs. PC

Why do adobe muse websites look different on a Mac vs. PC? www.915day.com for example. Looks great on my mac, but when you go to the PC version it looks zoomed in at least 25-35%? Why? (I have thus adjusted it to look good on a PC.) Frustratingly, to center the Logo for one platform, means to put it off center on the other. Defeats the whole purpose of Parallax scrolling. Also, who would pay so much a month to the creative cloud if they can't even offer their clients continuity? I understand there is a difference between older browsers and new, but it tests the same way even on a new browser (Windows 8 browsers). I have tried adjusting the canvas to the exact measurements of the screen on my PC but it renders the same. Also I have turned on the HiDPI just to see if that was the case. Still no fix. There is only one instance of this in the forums and it has still gone unanswered. So I am asking in greater detail why this is an issue.
Anyone?

I tried to check the site display in multiple browsers on both Mac and windows , but I was not able to verify the issue.
I believe you have already resolved the issue.
Thanks,
Sanjit

In FF4, why does my website looks different when www is omitted

''locking as a duplicate - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/814715''
My site looks different when I use www in the address and when I omit www. Look at http://www.dynapipe.co.uk and http://dynapipe.co.uk.
This doesn't happen with FF3 or IE7, 8 or 9 or Google Chrome, only FF4

Why does my site look different in chrome, safari and explorer?

Hi,
My site looks ok in Firefox but it looks different in chrome, safari and explorer...
I have already tried to clean the cache and delete cookies, what I have to do?
Thanks for helping!
Livia

Hi Livia
I have checked the file and can see that you have used a slideshow for browser background , the page fill is the hero image where the thumbnails are disabled.
If you remove the slideshow then the issue is resolved as the red bar in top and white bar at bottom comes fine with all browsers.
Please remove the slideshow from page background and use the same image as browser fill which will fix the issue.
Thanks,
Sanjit

Why does the display look different in photoshop and lightroom

I am using CS4 and LR2.1. When I open the same picture in both programs the picture in CS4 looks dull and washed out. My color space in both programs is srgb (I send all my pictures to Miller's for printing). Any Idea why and what setting I should adjust.
Thank you in advance for your help,
Allen

Your color settings are not the same, or something is broken with your display profile that one application is trying to fix up (but that should give you a warning).

Pictures look different when imported

For some reason when I import pictures into iphoto they look a little darker/warmer and not as crisp. Has anyone seen this before? Is there anyway to correct this issue?
Thank you,

Sounds like the pics are not color managed, or differently color managed from iPhoto. Where are these pics from?

Why Does my site look different on my computer

My site, www.aaronapter.com, looks completely different on my computer than when I view it on another computer. It actually looks like my browser is accessing the files from my HD instead of the internet. Any ideas why? I ask because I want to fix some errors on my published site, such as a fonts appearing differently and the spacing of a page being totally messed up. Again, this doesn't happen when I view it on my computer, but it does on others. Any help? I'm using iWeb '08.
Message was edited by: 2A Batterie

Is it just fonts? If so, the challenge is that you're using fonts that are only on your system and not others. There's a bit of a tricky fix but it'll force fonts to be graphics.
I'm not too sure about this approach but it seems simple enough: http://podcast.eusd4kids.org/groups/teacherresources/weblog/a91d4/iWeb__fonts_displayed_asgraphics.html
This appoarch is a tad trickier but I found it easy:
http://11mystics.com/2007/09/12/how-can-i-ensure-the-fonts-i-use-will-look-good- on-a-pc/
In short, go to Applications, control-click on iWeb and choose Show Package Contents. Then open Contents, then Resources, and then double-click on FontMapping.plist. Look for the special font that you're using and change false/ to true/like this:
<key>AmericanTypewriter</key>
<dict>
<key>Generic</key>
<string>serif</string>
<key>Image</key>
<true/> <=== change this from false/ to true/
<key>Windows</key>
<string>Courier New</string>

Why does my clip look different in Color vs FCP via External mmonitor

Can anyone explain why my clip look slightly different in color as opposed to FCP. This clip is exported from FCP sequence with NO filters whatsoever. I'm basically viewing the same clip and switching between color and FCP. The clip seems to have a tad more highlight when viewing in color
I'm using a MacPro/Kona3/Sony Multiformat CRT. Thanks

seems to have a tad more highlight when viewing in color
Do you see a difference in the scopes? "seems to" is not as good a description as we really need to sort out whether this is a gamma issue or a possible 601/709 conflict, even with your Multiformat Sony. There appear to be a lot of RGB, Y'CbCr conversions in your image pipeline.
I am aware that some codecs are handled slightly differently by Final Cut and COLOR. They do not use the same media decoding engine. COLOR's is much more basic (fundamental) and generally speaking is more accurate for that reason. Similar to SHAKE in that respect.

Website created with iWeb looks different in IE and Firefox than Safari-why

So I spent a few hours working on my Home and About Us page. Then, while browsing this forum, I started seeing posts about how sites done with iWeb might not look good in IE and/or Firefox. I decided to test out my work. I zipped up my site files and emailed them to myself. I went to my Dell desktop and downloaded the files to that computer. I opened up the home page in Firefox first. The site seemed to look ok, and both the home and about us page links showed up and were functional (i.e. I was able to browse back and forth between the two pages). However, I had some bullet points on the about us page that had a green border around them. This rendered fine in Safari on my Mac, but in Firefox, the bottom line of the box was not connected! Why?
After viewing in IE, I was depressed. The site didn't look at all like it should have. Not only that, but I couldn't navigate between the pages, since the links for home and about us were not at the top. What can I do to make sure that a site I create with iWeb looks good in Safari, IE, and Mozilla Firefox?
-A stumped newbie

Well I see that you and I share the same problem, I posted the same type of question and am anxiosly awaiting replies on this topic, as it is very important
I own a small business, and every hour a customer cannot view my site is a customer lost to incompatibility issues.
I hope someone can help answer these issues.

Hi
They are different because of the way IE/Opera and FF/Safari handle list indents, you will have to change the default margin and padding values to achieve a consistent list positioning, (do not forget negative values are allowed).
See the section on positioning in this article for more info - http://www.alistapart.com/articles/taminglists/.
