Why does the color and or tone of my image change?

Why does the color and or tone of my image change after working in LR for a couple of hours? I open LR and everything looks fine - work for a couple of hours on the same shoot - but then the pictures start to look flat or greenish cast as time goes by. All the files get flat and the greenish cast after a couple of hours - the ones already worked on and the newer ones I'm pulling up to work on. RAW files downloaded from a Canon 30D. Also exporting to PSCS2 as PROPhoto results in a flat image. I switched back to export AdobeRGB.

Hola - thanks for the reply - yep - closing and then opening LR helps - but can't do that all the time after processing 3 or 4 files.
One reply was a corrupt monitor color profile - So I deleted that one and loaded a new adobeRGB profile. That helped a little also for a while - I then reloaded my monitor drivers and refreshed them - that help for a day - the greenish cast is back It works fine on my laptop for now. The same pictures that look greenish in LR look great in Canon DPP. So it probably wasn't the color profile or monitor drivers. My issue started with the small scale previews so I bumped that up. Still have the issue. I finished up a project and now going to uninstall and reinstall LR. Let's see what happens with a fresh install. andy.

  • 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 does the color wheel come up when I   I can't get rid of it.

    Why does the color wheel come up when I try to open an email? I can't get rid of it unless I sign in again!

    The spinning beach ball of death (SBBOD) can be caused by many things. Common causes are not enough RAM, insufficient HD space or another process using a lot of the CPU's power. You can open Activity Monitor (Applications - Utilities - Activity Monitor) for many things including the %CPU column to see if there is an app using a large %CPU. Also click the System Memory tab and see how much FREE RAM it shows. As a general rule your system should have 500MB or more available.
    Finally I'd recommend reading and using the Spinning Beach Ball of Death article for additonal troubleshooting steps.

  • Why does the color on my calendar keeps changing colors on its own

    I have several color coded calendars for each family members.  My daugther's calendar all of a sudden changed from green to blue (which is my son's) by itself.  I changed it back to green and it automatically changed back to blue again.   This happened once before a while back and after I keep changing back the color, it corrected itself eventually.
    Why is this happening and how can I fix it permanently?
    Thank you in advance for your help!

    Same problem on top of regularly dropping WIFI when all of my other devices have no problem.
    Owned this laptop since FEB 2014. My worst experience with a laptop to date. Wish I'd bought ASUS now which I also considered before buying.Another family member bought ASUS & no issues.

  • Why does the drag and drop feature not work?

  • Why does the color change when I open a warm image in Photoshop CS6?

    Whenever I open a warm color image in Photoshop CS6, the color of the image automatically changes? Please see the attached screenshots below.
    What is the solution to this problem? Please Help.
    I use Windows 7 Ultimate. Photoshop CS6.
    Graphics Card: Intel HD Graphics 2000

    There is no "problem" to "fix". A raw file is just the data captured by the sensor, not yet an image. To produce a useful image it needs to be processed in a raw converter, either automatically in-camera or with a standalone converter (ACR).
    The camera LCD shows you an in-camera processed jpeg, according to the camera manufacturer's idea of how the raw data should be interpreted. There is nothing inherently "correct" about this, and a lot of the original data have been thrown away in the process.
    ACR doesn't make any assumptions about how the final image should look. It shows you a neutral starting point, with default settings to preserve as much of the original data as possible. The rest is up to you. You're not supposed to just accept the defaults. The sliders are there for a reason.
    You can change the ACR defaults at any time if you come up with settings that are more to your taste.

  • Why does the bit debth of my raw file image different in my camera, in Brigde and in when opened in Photoshop?

    I have a Nikon D700 12 megapixel full frame camera which has a 12 – 14 bit depth. I usually shoot images with the Nikon raw file format (NEF) with the color space setting at Adobe RGB (1998). When I select a photo to look at the details of the metadata in Adobe Bridge the bit depth is indicated as 16 and the color as RGB. Opening up the picture in Photoshop displays the long narrow detail line down the near the bottom of the screen. It indicates that the color is 8 bit but still Adobe RGB (1998).
    Can someone please explain these fluctuations? This is still a NEF file I am referring to.
    Thanks.

    With Camera Raw open, you'll need to set the Color Space and Bit Depth is it to open as in Photoshop. See image:
    Edit: Also, a raw file contains raw data - no embedded color profile. At least not that any programs, except Nikon's, will recognize.

  • Why does the top and bottom of my clips get cut off?

    Hi, I'm new to iMovie and I've encountered an annoying problem. I imported all my movie files from my flash drive without any issues. I dragged a clip from the section with all the clips to the play reel. I previewed the clip, both normal screen and full screen, and both times the top and bottom of the clip was cut off. I tried it again with different clips but the same thing kept happening? Can anyone tell me why this happens because my head keeps getting cut off and I don't like it one bit.

    First, you can go into File/Project Preferences and adjust the aspect ratio of your project to either widescreen (16:9) or standard (4:3), to match your footage.
    You can combine footage that is widescreen and standard in the same project. In this case, you have to tell imovie how to handle the clips that do not fit the overall project aspect ratio. To do this, you can select a clip in your project and use the Rotate, Crop, Ken Burns Tool. If you select FIT, it will preserve the whole frame by inserting black bars (letterboxing). If you select CROP it will cut off the top and bottom. You can select the default for this in Project Properties.

  • Why does the color of a smart object differ from the actual shape that it was made from?

    I have some smart objects in a file that I've been working on. For example, I have a simple replay button shape. But, for some reason the color of the smart object differs from the actual color of the shape. In other words, if I sample the color of the smart object it has a hex code of ae7f2c (image1). But if I double click into the smart object to see the actual shape color the hex code is correct: a37e2c (image 2). It's a very slight shift, but causing me to go off brand colors for a client that I am working for. Any idea what could be causing this? Thanks for your help.
    IMAGE 1
    IMAGE 2
    Running CS6 Version 13.0 x64, on iMac OSX 10.8.4

    How did you create this smart object? Paste from Illustrator. A shape layer from Photoshop?
    If from Illustrator turn off color management, copy and repaste into Photoshop.

  • Why does the foward and back button no longer show page history ?

    the older version of mozilla/firefox you had the option of seeing previous pages beside the foward and back buttons. rather than going back to each page. also the web pages that were suggested for your search let you know if the web page or site good or bad.

    The arrow to open the tab history of the Back and Forward buttons has been removed in Firefox 4 and later.
    Use one of these methods to open the tab history list:
    * Right click on the Back or Forward button
    * Hold down the left mouse button on the enabled Back or Forward button until the list opens
    You can look at this extension:

  • Why does the edge of a rectangle show through image placed on top?

    I can't figure out why the edge of my yellow filled rectangle shows through the images I place over top of it.
    A very thin but visible line appears in my image when the rectangle has no stroke, and a thicker, dark line appears when I apply black stroke to the rectangle.
    I've tried arranging the rectangle to the back and the images to the front, but it doesn't work.
    Another strange thing about this phenomenon is that it sometimes appears in the Indesign document itself, and sometimes, it is only appearing when I convert to PDF (using X-3:2002 preset).
    Any ideas on what's going on. It's driving me crazy.
    Thanks.

    I did try this change to the pdf settings before, and it doesn't appear to have an effect.
    Here are is a sample screen shot of the issue. This is a small part of the PDF created as you have suggestion with the crop image to frames turned off. The line is visible in both the Indesign workspace and the pdf. This is what it looks like without stroke around the yellow box. The image is a png produced in photoshop elements. I've zoomed in quite a bit (that text is 15pt), but it seems like it would show up in a print job.

  • Why does my keyboard and mouse freeze every time I change audio drivers?

    I recently switched audio drivers from my M-Audio Ozone to my TV, which I've done before. When I tried to switch back, my mouse and keyboard become frozen! I know my Mac Mini isn't frozen, because I have my clock display the seconds and its still going strong. Help!!!

    Is this your Mac:
    http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/stats/imac_cd_1.83_17_ig.html
    And, is this the RAM you got:
    RAM Type:
    PC2-5300 DDR2
    Min. RAM Speed:
    667 MHz
    Even if it is the correct specs, it could still be a defective RAM module; also, iMacs are known to be extremely finicky about their RAM; i.e. OWC (macsales.com) and Crucial are generally recommended here - Kingston (especially their and an other Value brand line) are not. So, have you checked your RAM status? Go to Apple  in menu, click on about this Mac, click on more info, click on Memory and see that the modules show "ok" and please post back with that.
    Secondly, the keyboard issue could also be a USB port issue - I had that problem on a previous (white) iMac - I kept plugging in/unplugging. The problem here is that the USB ports are an integral part of the logic board which means a rather expensive repair/replacement. So, once we've eliminated the RAM as a culprit and considering the age of the Mac, you might want to make an appointment at your nearest Genius Bar for a free evaluation and diagnosis. You can then make a decision. In my case, I was covered by Applecare, so the logic board was replaced free of charge.

  • Why does the drag and drop context menu always popup when dragging files between windows explorer instances ?

    I have fusion 7.1.1 on an iMac 27 inch retina. 32GB ram of which 6GB assigned to Fusion and 2 cores. Windows 7 Home Premium installed. Mostly working fine but a few funnies. First and foremost: Whenever I drag and drop between instances of windows explorer, I get the little pop-up context menu offering me Copy Here / Move Here etc.  etc. I have never known Windows to ask me what I want to do when I drag stuff - why is this happening ? I have scoured the net for info on this and found nothing. Please note that this is NOT associated with the Start Menu (For which I found a zillion solutions to whatever that problem is). Also, It is NOT to do with stopping drag & drop and Context menus: yes, I know how to do that but that is NOT what I'm asking to get rid of. This may not be related but I have also had to set my Internet Properties / Explorer settings / Launching-applications-and-unsafe-files to "Enable" to prevent every shortcut I create causing a "Do you want to run this ... ?" message every time I click on them. Doing this has caused WIndows 7 to turn into a finger-wagging safety-nanny glaring at me over its demi-lune spectacles.
