Wrong color - new LR5

hello everyone,
i have a problem with a magenta like color cast in a new and freash install of lightroom 5.
i had lightroom 4 with the same problem, i uninstalled it and installed a new lightroom 5 but the same result.
all my RAW images are having a pinkish/magenta like color cast on the images.
jpegs looks fine!
more than that, when i open in in ACR 8.2 (CS6) it looks ok.
RAW files from different cameras looks the same so i don't think it's a camera issue. (both canon and fuji)
anyone have a lead of what might be the problem here?
using a PC win 7.

can you direct me on how to change the display profile to sRGB?
Windows control panel, colour management, advanced, change system defaults.
First, note which item in the list has "(default)" after it, so you can go back to it if needed. It is generally the first in the list.
Then, if sRGB doesn't show in the list, click Add... and you should see it. It will be called sRGB IEC61922-2.1 or similar.
When it's in the list, click it, and then "Set as default".
Then click Close, then "Reload current calibrations", then close again.

and when you say reprofile, do you mean like with a dedicated device?
Yes, I'm sure Rikk did mean that. Lightroom really does need to be used with a colour-managed monitor, that is one that has a profile created by a hardware device (colormunki, Spyder etc). Setting sRGB as the monitor profile (as above) will make it very approximately right, provided you have a monitor that is close to sRGB (most normal-gamut monitors are very very roughly sRGB.

Hi, The options bar shows sample size 101 by 101 Average. That was my problem. When I was troubleshooting in order to try to explain to you what was happening, I noticed that when I sampled my models teeth, it gave me a color a bit lighter than her lipstick as my foreground color in my tool box. That started me thinking in the correct way. I didn't realize that my sample size had somehow gotten switched from point sample to 101 by 101 average. I appreciate the help. Thank you.

Wrong colors when printing to HP Colorlaser Jet 4550 PCL 5c

I just upgraded from Labview 5.1.1 to Labview 6.1 on a Windows 95 Compaq Notebook. All the plot colors in 8 plot XY Graph indicator printed correctly on our network HP Colorlaser Jet 4550 PCL 5c using Labview 5.1.1. When I print the graph in Labview 6.1, sometimes some of the plot colors in the graph are wrong. In fact one of the plot switches color about 2/3 of the way across the X-axis. What is really weird is that the plot colors always print correctly in the legend. The VI prints the graph programically, but I also get the same inconsistent results when I copy the XY Graph to a new VI and use the print window comand in the file menu.
In my Labview preferences I use standard printing with colors and di
thering is turn on. The colors are correct when I programically save the front panel to either bmp, jpeg, or png files.
What causing this strange behavior?

Greg,
Thanks for your suggestion; however, it did not solve the problem. I set the line thickest to the maximum. Then I tried with and without dithering. The results were still inconsistent. Sometimes I got the correct colors; othertimes, some plots had the wrong colors. I attached two gif files as examples. The first shows the correct colors. The second shows that the 1st plot is yellow instead of blue. Also the 4th plot is green instead of red for the 1st 80% of the plot. Then it switches to the correct color, red. I have other graphs with different plots with the wrong colors. Notice that the colors in the legend are always correct.

Flash Player (Web Export) showing wrong colors

Cheers!
Sometimes when I look at my exported galeries I'm not satisfied regarding the colors. Up to today I thought that this is based on my week skills in developing photos.
But that seems to be wrong! Please helpt me with the following:
I'm exporting via Web Module using a simple viewer template (which uses the adobe flash player to display images). Now I fire up that little web page in my browser (safari or firefox in my case) and compare what I see with what I see in lightroom (library module). I can notice a very severe difference in the color presentation. Next I start a second browser window and place it beside the one showing the flash player galery exported before. Within that browser window I call the image from the image folder within the exported web page and compare both. Hence! It does not look like the same.
To illustrate that I shot the following a couple of minutes ago:
http://minolta.karlos.at/test.png
On the left you see the lightroom web galery (simple viewer) and on the right the jpeg picture itself. (You can try that by starting the web galery and then click on the photo and launch it with the command "open picture in new window"
Weird!
Is that behaviour known and is there any solution to avoid this wrong color display?
Thanks!
C.

Flash is not color managed (although in the latest version you can somehow turn it on I understand) so it will never show the right color ever. That said, if you have a good display but not so good it has a wide gamut, and you calibrate correctly at gamma 2.2, you should see very similar color. The problem on Macs that have not been calibrated is that the default gamma is wrong (even Apple says this) and they have to be calibrated to be right. Normally Safari color manages so the gamma of most images gets automaticaly corrected, but it cannot color manage flash.
That said, from your screenshot it appears the difference is entirely due to the difference in gamut between your display and sRGB. There is nothing you can do about it but pester Adobe to enable color management for the latest flash versions in the Lightroom flash galleries. Of course nobody that looks at your gallery will actually see the right color anyway as basically nobody calibrates their screen and most people do not even use color managed browsers.

ImageIO: scaling and then saving to JPEG yields wrong colors

Hi,
when saving a scaled image to JPEG the colors are wrong (not just inverted) when viewing the file in an external viewer (e.g. Windows Image Viewer or The GIMP). Here's the example code:
public class Main {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          if (args.length < 2) {
               System.out.println("Usage: app [input] [output]");
               return;
          try {
               BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read (new File(args[0]));
               AffineTransform xform = new AffineTransform();
               xform.scale(0.5, 0.5);
               AffineTransformOp op = new AffineTransformOp (xform, AffineTransformOp.TYPE_BILINEAR);
               BufferedImage out = op.filter(image,null);
               ImageIO.write(out, "jpg", new File(args[1]));
/* The following ImageViewer is a JComponent displaying
the buffered image - commented out for simplicity */
               ImageViewer imageViewer = new ImageViewer();
               imageViewer.setImage (ImageIO.read (new File(args[1])));
               imageViewer.setVisible (true);
          catch (Exception ex) {
               ex.printStackTrace();
Observations:
* viewing this JPEG in an external viewer displays the colors wrong, blue becomes reddish, skin color becomes brown, blue becomes greenish etc.
* when I skip the transformation and simply write the input 'image' instead the colors look perfect in an external viewer!
BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read (new File(args[0]));
ImageIO.write (image, "jpg", new File(args[1]));
* when I do the scale transformation but store as PNG instead the image looks perfect in external viewers!
BufferedImage out = op.filter(image,null);
ImageIO.write(out, "png", new File(args[1]));
* viewing the scaled JPEG image with The GIMP produces "more intense" (but still wrong) colors than when viewing with the Windows Image Viewer - I suspect that the JPEG doesn't produce plain RGB values when decompressed (another color space used then sRGB? double instead of int values?)
* Loading the saved image and display it in a JComponent shows the image fine:
class ViewComponent extends JComponent
     private Image image;
     protected void paintComponent( Graphics g )
          if ( image != null )
// image looks okay!
               g.drawImage( image, 0, 0, this );
     public void setImage( BufferedImage newImage )
          image = newImage;
          if ( image != null )
               repaint();
* Note that I've tried several input image formats (PNG, JPEG) and made sure that they were stored as RGB (not CMYK or the like).
* Someone else already mentioned that the RGB values as read from an JPG image are wrong, but no answer in this thread - might be connected with this problem: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=20&threadID=612542
* I tried the jdk1.5.0_01 and jdk1.5.0_04 on Windows XP.
Any suggestions? Is this a bug in the ImageIO jpeg plugin? What am I doing wrong? Better try something like JAI or JIMI? I'd rather not...
Thanks a lot! Oliver
p.s. also posted to comp.lang.java.programmers today...

Try using TYPE_NEAREST_NEIGHBOR
rather than
TYPE_BILINEARI was a bit quick with saying that this doesn't work - I had extended my example code which made it fail (see later), but here's a working version first (note: I use the identity transform only for simplicity and to show that it really doesn't matter whether I scale, rotate or shear)):
// works, but only for TYPE_NEAREST_NEIGHBOR interpolation
Image image = ImageIO.read (new File(args[0]));
AffineTransform xform = new AffineTransform();
AffineTransformOp op = new AffineTransformOp (xform, AffineTransformOp.TYPE_NEAREST_NEIGHBOR);
BufferedImage out = op.filter(image, null);
ImageIO.write(out, "jpg", new File(args[1]));The problem: we restrict ourselves to nearest neighbor interpolation, which is especially visible when scaling up (or rotate, shear).
Now when I change the following, it doesn't work anymore, the stored image has type=0 instead of 5 then (which obviously doens't work with external viewers):
// doesn't work, since an extra alpha value is introduced, even
// for TYPE_NEAREST_NEIGHBOR
BufferedImage out = op.filter(image, op.createCompatibleDestImage(image, ColorModel.getRGBdefault()));Intuitively I would say that's exactly what I want, and RGB image with data type int (according to JavaDocs). That it has an alpha channel is a plus - or is it?
I think this extra alpha value is the root of all evil: JPEG doesn't support alpha, but I guess ImageIO still mixes this alpha value somehow into the JPEG data stream - for ImageIO that's not a problem, the JPEG data is decompressed correctly (even though the alpha values have become meaningless then, haven't checked that), but other JPEG viewers can't manage this ARGB format.
This also explains why writing to PNG worked, since PNG supports alpha channels.
And obviously an AffineTransformOp silently changes the image format from RGB to ARGB, but only for TYPE_BILINEAR and TYPE_CUBIC, not for TYPE_NEAREST_NEIGHBOR! Even though I can imagine why this is done like this (it's more efficient to calculate with 32 bit ints than with 24 bit packed values, hence the extra alpha byte...) I would at least expect the JPEG writer to ignore this extra alpha value - at least with the default settings and unless otherwise told with extra parameters! Now my code gets unnecessary complicated.
So how do I scale an image using bilinear (or even bicubic) interpolation, so that it get's displayed properly with external viewers? I found the following code working:
// works, but I need an extra buffer and draw operation - UGLY
// and UNNECESSARILY COMPLICATED (in my view)
BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read (new File(args[0]));
AffineTransform xform = new AffineTransform();
AffineTransformOp op = new AffineTransformOp (xform, AffineTransformOp.TYPE_BILINEAR);
BufferedImage out = op.filter(image, null);
// create yet another buffer with the proper RGB pixel structure
// (no alpha), draw transformed image 'out' into this buffer 'out2'
BufferedImage out2 = new BufferedImage (out.getWidth(), out.getHeight(),
                                                         BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
Graphics2D g = out2.createGraphics();
g.drawRenderedImage(out, null);
ImageIO.write(out2, "jpg", args[1]);This is already way more complicated than the initial code - left alone that I need to create an extra image buffer, just to get rid of the alpha channel and do an extra drawing.
I've also tried to supply a BufferedImage as 2nd argument to the filter op to avoid the above:
ICC_ColorSpace (iccColorSpace = new ICC_ColorSpace (ICC_Profile.getInstance(ColorSpace.CS_sRGB)
BufferedImage out = op.filter(image, op.createCompatibleDestImage(image, new DirectColorModel (iccColorSpace), 24, 0xff0000, 0x00ff00, 0x0000ff, 0x000000, false, DataBuffer.TYPE_INT))); But then the filter operation failed ("Unable to transform src image") and I was beaten by the sheer possibilities of color spaces, ICC profiles, so I quickly gave up... and hey, I "just" want to load, scale and save to JPG!
The last option was getting a JPEG writer and its ImageWriteParam, trying to set the output image type:
iwparam.setDestinationType(ImageTypeSpecifier.createFromBufferedImageType(BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB));But again I failed, the resulting image type was still type=0 (and not 5). So I gave up, realising that the Java API is still overly complex and "too design-patterned" for simple tasks :(
If anyone has still a good idea how to get rid of the alpha channel when writing to JPEG in a simple way (apart from creating an extra buffer as above, which works for me now...)... you're very welcome to enlighten me ;)
Cheers, Oliver
p.s. Jim, I will assign you the "DukeDollars", since your hint was somewhat correct :)

IMac/Snow Leopard choosing wrong color profile?

Hey guys,
I am a wedding photographer and I calibrated my iMac twice a month with a Spyder 3 calibrator. I have noticed a few times, that even though I have chosen the color profile I have created with the Spyder 3, sometimes my iMac does NOT have that color profile selected. It seems like it reverts back to the standard iMac color profile at times - with no explanation. Is this a bug, or am I the user doing something to cause this to happen: log out, shutdowns, etc.
I am really unsure, so if anyone has a solution or explanation for this that would be great! Once I retouched a whole session using the wrong color profile (I didn't know it had changed) and it was a disaster.

The file that holds which monitor profile is being used may be corrupt. You can remove this file from the Preferences folder of your user account:
com.apple.systempreferences.plist
Place it in the trash, or just to the desktop and restart. Or log out and log back in. The OS will create a new preference file.
This file holds various settings, so you may notice other items in the System Preferences back at their defaults.
As to your calibration habits, every other week is overkill for LCD monitors. This was the case with CRTs where every other week, or at minimum once a month was normal. CRTs drift from their settings much faster than LCDs. Every other month with an LCD is more than sufficient.

HP Deskjet D1455 printing wrong colors

So, I've had this printer for about a year, and have used it off and on with just a black ink cartridge. No problems.
I recently bought a color cartridge and have been doing some printing. Here's where the problem comes in....
Printing emails/word processing (these are what I've tested so far), any words that are in color aren't coming up the right color...Blue is printing as Magenta...green is printing as blue (these are the two that I've noticed so far).
Notes:
BRAND NEW ink cartridge
Test page from printer is FINE
This isn't a problem if I print a .jpg (clip art dowloaded from the net is printing in the proper colors...blue is blue, green is green)....it's just the words that i'm typing and changing the color of that aren't working.
Thoughts?

CP1025 wrong colors or blank pages after first page

Hello,
Our company have 3 cp1025 printers. 2 of them get a problem (almost at same time) which can be described like this:
-printing wrong colors, colors are mixed, for example indeed black color prints blue and it is colorless. This does not happen for first page, further pages only.
-printing blank pages. First page always printed perfectly, further pages are blank.
We can't find a problem. Tried to change new drum, drivers, we are working on Win XP and Win 7. Can you say something about this problem?

, Welcome to the HP Forums I understand your three LaserJet CP1025 printers are experiencing print quality issues and I wanted to reach out to you. I would suggest that for each individual printer, the guide below be used to troubleshoot the concerns. If you find the unit(s) continue to show concerns, contact HP directly to inquire about a replacement. HP LaserJet Pro CP1025 and CP1025nw Color Printers - Resolving Print Quality Issues Step 1.

Robot getpixelColor returns wrong color sometimes...

Hey
I ve got a problem. I read Pixels from a Game with the Robot getPixelColor method. Sometimes it returns right values, sometimes wrong! I check some pixels if they are white. The pixels dont move, so this same pixels are white everytime!.
Now sometimes he returns wrong colors. Instead of 255,255,255 ...it returns 0,12,25 or something like that. (with the same x, y coordinate).
My assumption is: My code is like following
CheckPixel(MyRobot.getPixelColor(30,40);
CheckPixel(MyRobot.getPixelColor(31,45);
CheckPixel(MyRobot.getPixelColor(36,20);
CheckPixel(MyRobot.getPixelColor(51,70);
Now it has to return 255,255,255 but somtimes its not working, he return 0,0.12 .... 0,0,15..... 255,255,255 .. or something like that
Could it be, that java does not refresh the robot object so fast when I call getPixelColor so fast in a row?
Is there a command with which I force Java to wait until the pointer is on the right x,y coordinate? Except of Thread.Sleep();
Thank you for your help..

ok I try:
Robot r = new Robot();
int x, int y;
x = getItSomehwere();
y = getitsomehwere();
for (int i= 0, i< 20; i++) {
if (isThatPixelsWhite(x, y) != 0) {
DoSomething;
public int isThatPixelsWhite(int x, int y) {
if (
r.getPixelColor(x+5,y+15).equals(Color.WHITE) &&
r.getPixelColor(x+7,y+19).equals(Color.WHITE) &&
r.getPixelColor(x+9,y+11).equals(Color.WHITE) &&
r.getPixelColor(x+21,y+5).equals(Color.WHITE) &&
r.getPixelColor(x+13,y+2).equals(Color.WHITE) &&
r.getPixelColor(x+23,y+7).equals(Color.WHITE) &&
r.getPixelColor(x+9,y+9).equals(Color.WHITE) &&
r.getPixelColor(x+10,y+21).equals(Color.WHITE) &&
r.getPixelColor(x+11,y+22).equals(Color.WHITE)
) return 1;
return 0;
}Thats the relevant code.
I guess the fast calling of getPixelColor in this if struct (in Method isthatPixelsWhite) overburd java ..

Help: wrong colors when playing a iDVD in a domestic deck (plays ok on MAC)

Hi there:
For some reason, after burning a DVD using the iDVD 5.0.1 software all I get is wrong colors when playing it in ANY DVD player. If I watch the very same disk on my G5 Mac, everything turns out ok!
Is it a codec problem?? It seems this problems sudenly began AFTER I installed the Final Cut Pro on my disk.
Any help on this would be highly apreciated, please!
Thanks in advance!

What is your workflow?
Source material? DV I imagine? Something analog through a converter?
What are you editing with? FCP?
How did you output from your editing program? In other words, what did you bring into iDVD? Don't just say a QuickTime file... is it a DV QT file? Try sending this file back to tape and see what happens.
There is something funky in your workflow. I dont think it's an iDVD issue. As example, I edit in DV, NTSC. My preset in FCP is for DV, NTSC. I output from FCP as a DV QT reference file. I could send this same sequence back to tape. I am going to guess that somewhere/somehow, you are losing or masking the color channel. But this is getting a bit beyond my meager knowledge and just a guess at that. For the short term I would print your sequence back to tape. Assuming that the tape plays back correctly, import from the new tape and create a DVD using that sequence and see what happens.

Eyedropper in PS CS6 picking wrong color

My eyedropper started picking the wrong color! I ahve reset and reinstalled PS - and still have this problem. No matter what color I click the eyedropper on, it picks a shade darker than what I want. Anyone have any ideas? Like I said, I am running PS CS6 on OS Mountain Lion.

Apart from your Photoshop needing updated to at least 13.0.1, the problem may be that your RGB document, which you're sampling in Photoshop, does not have sRGB profile and/or your Web browser is not colour managed and/or your computer is not using a correctly calibrated monitor profile and/or something else.

Printing in Lightroom Produces Wrong Colors

I have searched these forums and found a couple of topics that have to do with incorrect or wrong colors being printed by Lightroom but none of the suggestions proposed seemed to help. So, I think that I have something else going on that is causing me problems.
The vital statistics: I am using Lightroom 1.4.1 on Vista Home Premium with an HP C7280 All-in-One printer. The pictures I am trying to print are DNGs converted by Lightroom. When printing in Lightroom, I select the option to have the color managed by the printer.
Basically, any picture that I print from Lightroom looks darker than the original. So, I tried a couple of different tests to try to find out what is going on. I exported a picture to a jpeg and printed that with the Microsoft Office Picture Manager and it printed fine.
I was curious what would happen if the photo was printed from Photpshop CS3. So, I created a copy of the DNG file from Lightroom and edited it in Photoshop. I printed the picture from Photoshop with the color set to be managed by the printer, and Photoshop also printed the photo with a dark look. I then changed the Color Handling to "Photoshop Manages Color" and the Printer Profile to sRGB, and the picture printed perfectly.
In addition, I tried printing jpgs from Lightroom, and I got the same dark results. Any suggestions as to what is going on will be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance!
Michael

Unfortunately, Lightroom cannot print to this specific printer without tricks. The reason is that HP does not provide color management in the driver (which is why you have to use sRGB in Photoshop - shudder!) and does not provide icc profiles for it. This is HP not providing good drivers for their consumer-oriented printers, and Lightroom expecting at least reasonably modern printer drivers. Photoshop will print to anything by using the working space fall back that really is a hack. Unfortunately, Lightroom does not provide the same hack. In your case, there is a trick you can use, which is to find the "HP color Laserjet RGB" icc profile that HP ships with their laserprinter drivers. It is just an sRGB profile masquerading as a printer profile. If you use that in the profile field in Lightroom, it
should work.

Pages have wrong color when published

Hello, I have been trying to publish a site with iWeb, and everything is going fairly well except for the following problem: Some of the pictures publish with the wrong colors (greens show up as pink, among other things). The rest of the pictures publish normally. They are all jpgs, all of which I moved into iWeb from the media browser.
Anybody know what's up? Anybody having color issues upon publish? I am working from a macbook on this project.
dual 2.0 G5 and G4 P'book Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I think what is happening is that your JPGs are being converted to PNG by iWeb. And the particular images that are having color shifts do not have the right color information and that's why it shifts when converted to PNG by iWeb.
Try this... you need to make your JPGs the exact size that you will be using them at in iWeb, or at least capture a PNG that has the correct color info. The easiest way to do this is to have iWeb open to that page and then take a screenshot of the image in iWeb. Use Apple-Shift-4 to draw a rectangle around the image. Then bring this image back into iWeb. Then publish. You should see an improvement in color.

Wrong colors on iDVD burned disk after FCut Pro installation

Hi there:

Is it a codec problem?? This problems sudenly began AFTER I installed the Final Cut Pro on my disk.
How can this be explained by the Final Cut installation? And how can I get it right again?
Any help on this would be highly apreciated, please!
Thanks in advance!
Rui.

The images are pictured ok, but the colors are wrong. I have two DVD players at home:
- When I play the DVD on an expensive Pionner DVD player, the reds turned into some sort of green, and the overall color range seems more «cold» (ie, more blue and greenish)
- When I play the DVD on a cheap 20 dolars players, everything turns out black and white.
It happens this way no matter if I use the NTSC or PAL preferences when burning.
I also tryed to asve a .img to disk and burn it using the Disk Utility. Didnt work also.
Ok, I'll try what you say about the external monitor
Thanks for being around.
