Couple of days ago I noticed Lightroom colours are a bit off. Especially when i do black and white edits. I don't know much about colour profiles so I don't want to mess with them myself.
View 3 RepliesI have to treat a few images for a newspaper, and I have to apply an specified Color Profile for them.
what's the difference between the commands "Assign Color Profile", "Convert to Color Profile" or doing "Mode>CMYK, and then Assign Profile",
My problem is that when I export JPG's from Lightroom (100% / sRGB / sharpen for screen) the picture seems to lack contrast and the colors look less saturated (Looks like this everywhere, including Windows Preview, Firefox, Photoshop..). If I select Soft Proofing and sRGB, the colors look correct.
Â
Also if I take a screen capture and save it as JPG, the colors look similar to my preview in Lightroom. I have tried to export in sRGB, Adobe RGB and ProPhoto RGB color profiles but none of them looks the same as LR preview.
I have installed Blurb´s color profile but Lightroom doesn´t show it in its list Choose profile.
Â
I want to see how my pictures most likely will look in the book I will make at Blurb´s, so I need to use Blurb´s color profile.

Lightroom and Blurb is said to cooperate!
Created photo then used file menue, export preset, xrite. It worked but I never got a change to select a name. It came up as "profile". What am I missing. Found the profiles but my camera Cannon Rebel 4ti is not listed. Is there an easy way to change or delete these profiles?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have been unhappy with the colors from raws on my new D7100. It's bad enough it has banding and color cast issues within dark shadows but today I decided to do a test against my D90 and ViewNX and the results conclude what I have been seeing. There is too much yellow and a lack of magenta in the converted raws with LR. Here is an example. I'm considering sending it back until this is resolved. Copy and paste the link into your browse I can't seem to be able to paste a working copy of it into this post. I remember when I first got my D80 how bad the color profile was, I had to shoot Jpegs for highend kitchens because I couldn't get the wood tones to look correct. Eventually the profile got updated.

problem: once I activate lens corrections, photos with blue/purple content get a color fringe. Left version below is a 100% crop from the raw file, lens profile deactivated. Right version is a screen shot of the same raw file in the develop mode, with the lens profile active. The color fringe exports into JPEGs - so it does not seem to be a problem of the viewer or the GUI.

I'm using an Alpha 55 with a Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 Macro. I haven't been aware of this problem with prior versions, but I've found it on both, LR 4.4 under Vista 32bit and the trial version of LR 5.2 under Windows 7 64bit. It appears to be related to the blue/purple color: I first found it on a people shot with uniform blue shirts, where the blue/ skin contrast created a "ghost" frame. To make the artifact disappear, I have to deactivate lens correction entirely. Deactivating CA removal alone does not change anything.
Why can’t I find the color profile info in the library ? It’s sometimes necessary to convert to sRGB for some applications ( internet, some beamers in clubs,…). I convert them but afterwards it is nice to have the possibility to check this out and should be possible in lightroom, the info is present why not showing it ( it is not so easy to go in finder and look at it in info for every image)? Since I’m always working in Adobe profile for printing and so this is important to know !
View 10 Replies View Relatedsoftproofing. I apply a color profile appropriate to my printer/ink/paper, and then I can see what colours are in/out of gamut, and won't print as I expect. But, when I click Soft Proofing, the image takes on a less saturated look, however if I select SRGB as a profile it looks normal. That is I believe because sRGB is the profile I have been using anyway. What I don't understand is why the whole image changes. I assume there is more to it than just colours in and out of Gamut.
I do so LR4 asks if I want a proof copy, which is fine and I understand why. When I make a proof copy though, all the adjustments are greyed out so I cannot do anything.
I'm having trouble when I move photos from lightroom to photoshop. When I change the color profile from ProPhoto RGB to Adobe RGB 1998 the color becomes highly unsaturated. Avoiding changing the profile is not an option. Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening?
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhereas I'm able to get the desktop version of the Color Checker profile maker to work fine, the X-Rite Lightroom plugin consistently fails to complete a profiling operation--quitting with the message that it "is unable to locate the color checker crop marks" in my image. In one such "failed" image, the (in focus) color checker occupies about 75% of the frame! I'm using LR 3.6, Mac OS X 6.8. Latest versions of the X-Rite software. Is this a common problem (making the plugin pretty useless)?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI get a slight difference in color in my prints my when I use LR prifile vs Canon printer managed. The Canon is much truer to what I see on both monitors which, btw, are calibrated. LR throws in a slight magenta cast. Is there a way to correct this?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI installed LR5 from LR4 yesterday and each time I open an image in CS5 from my LR5, I get the following message:
Â
The document "IMG_9082.CR2"has an embedded color profile that does not match the current RGB working space.
Â
Embedded:Â Adobe RGB (1998)
Â
 Working sRGB IEC61966-2.1
Â
What would you like to do?
-Use the embedded profiel (instead of the working space)
-Convert documents's colors to the working space
-Discard the embedded profile (don't color manage)
Â
My camera's settings have it set with sRGB, LR4 and LR5 have sRGB and I have CS5 workspace as sRGB. This did not happen before.
Â
Is it possible that when LR5 updated the LR4 catalogue, it changed the profile of all my photos? I don't know, maybe I've done something, but I can't see what as I don't remember changing anything.
I have created custom profiles using Color Checker Passport for sunny, cloudy, flash, tungsten etc but would really like to create one for most shoots. I thought it would be a good idea to name it say "Temp" and overwrite each time so that I dont end up knee deep in camera profiles. But I am guessing if I do this will the latest saved version of "Temp" change the camera profile of all other previously saved versions of "Temp" from other shoots?It would be good if the saved version of "Temp" resided within the folder of that particular shoot only.
View 27 Replies View RelatedI have a set of JPEGs that have been stripped of their color profiles (AdobeRGB). Lightroom assumes that they are sRGB images and displays them incorrectly. Is there any function in the program that will let me embed the correct (AdobeRGB) profile to the photos, preferably without re-compressing them?
View 12 Replies View RelatedI've been trying to reproduce this color blind conditionfor a long time now and I still didn't figure out how I can do this. I've searched for cluts but didn't find any, only this, which has some previews of them, but no any files I can load into Photoshop's Color Lookup adjustment. I've looked into Pixel Bender plugin, but I'm using CC so that doesn't work either... I've also tried it with the Index Color mode, but that really messes up my image as it has a really low color range (256). I've even tried reproducing the same effect with adjustments, channels, etc, but didn't figure it out.
Â
Since there's a way to perfectly color proof images with this condition, I'm guessing this has to be some kind of ICC profile or something similar. Is there a way I can use it as a color profile?
In Development module in LR4.4, viewing a Fuji X100s raw file (converted on import to DNG) I tick the box for "Enable Profile Corrections" under "Lens Corrections," and select "Auto" from the "Setup" menu. I would have thought that LR would pick up the X100s profile, but no, nothing happens. If I choose "Fujifilm" from the "Make" dropdown, I can find the X100 (not X100s) profile manually. The profile's probably pretty similar, but still, I'm wondering why my install of 4.4 doesn't have the X100s profile in place?
Â
While I'm at it, I'll ask this too -- I recently bought the new Nikkor 35mm 1.8G ED (the new full frame 35mm Nikon lens, not the trusty 35mm 1.8DX) and there's no profile for that lens in my LR4.4 either.
Â
Finally, I note that when I choose "Check for Updates" from the "Help" menu in LR, I'm told there are no updates available.
I'm exporting Tiff Prophoto files from Lightroom into PSPX4 for further processing. The images are 1 to 2 stops under exposed when compared to Lightroom's image.I have selected PSPX4 color profile to match LR export color space.
I have tried exporting the Tiffs as sRGB and adode1998 and still the images are under exposed. I have little knowledge about color management and have searched around the web for possible answers, but no luck.
I just bought the Tamron SP 90 2.8 DI MACRO USD and LR lens profiles only lists this lens for Canon (F004E) and Nikon (F004N). There is no profile for Sony (F004S) ! Any drawback if I use F004E or N ? Or better use a the profile of the older Model of that lens where there is a Sony profile ?
View 7 Replies View RelatedDownloaded the BLURB color profile and installed to the system. Restarted LR and it did not appear in the other list for color profiles. I checked and found the profile in c:/Windows/System32/spool/drivers/color. I tried coping the file to c:/ProgramFile(x86)/CommonFiles/Adobe/Color/Profiles/Recommended. Restarted LR and still no BRURB icc shows up in the list. I also noticed there were other profiles in these directories which do not show up in the list. What am I doing wrong? Is there another menu which controls the "other..." list?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm using Photoshop CS6 on Windows 7 Home Premium. I use Photoshop in conjunction with Lightroom 5.2. When I send an image from Lightroom to Photoshop, and then convert the profile from Photoshop,
I expect to see the option sRGB IEC6196-2.1. If I open the 32-bit version that option is there. However, when using the 64-bit version (which I have been using exclusively) I just recently discovered that the profile isn't there. Photoshop is suggesting converting to eSRGB instead, and the other profile isn't even in the list of available profiles. My printing both at home and from labs is acceptable as far as matching is concerned. But I'm wondering why I don't have that profile. Is there a way to add that profile to the list?
I re-installed Photoshop 7 after formating my PC and the first time i used it, a window appeard regardding some embedded color profiles. I choose an option without reading it carefully and now everytime i open an image the program asks me if i want to assign a color profile to the file or if i don´t want it to color manage. Re-installing it again isn't helping and i can't find any way to arrange this problem.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using Photoshop CS6 13.0.1 x64 and I can't seem to get the settings for a new document to stick.
Â
When I make a new document my color profile never matches my color settings (RGB: Adobe RGB (1998); CMYK: U.S. Sheetfed Coated v2; Convert to Working RGB; Convert to Working CMYK; Ask when opening), it always is reset to sRGB. Also, when I create a new document it doesn't seem to remember either what I used last or what is in my clipboard - it always resets to 1 x 67.
Â
Is there some hidden setting I'm missing?
the new Photoshop Update CS6 13.0.5 changes the monitor color profile! Also brushes in Camera Raw are not availabe any more!
View 8 Replies View Relatedou have to hover over the image to see the real images. The images embedded in the webpage have their profiles stripped -- just like photoshop does! Interesting.how photoshop doesn't support color profiles in png's.
Â
But now I have a great one.this is with the correct color profile and displays correctly in firefox and probably other browsers -- also displays correctly on windows desktop and in large-icon view.Â
Â
Ok, grab that image and try to read it into photoshop..I do, and get no warning on profile mismatch like I do on jpg's or tiff's:photoshop strips the existing profile and adds sRGB which isn't the correct profile. This is how photoshop transforms good colors into bad:
Â
Completly screwed up.I have had multiple people notice how my png saved images from photoshop had "off" or bad colors -- usually washed out in comparison w/my monitor profile.I can get 'ok' results if I flatten the image and *convert* my existing profile to sRGB -- and I usually get something that looks 'acceptable'...though the jpg's render in accurate color.
Â
Basically, photoshop can't read or write png web images. and maintain color fidelity unless they have no profile. Even if they have an sRGB profile, I usually get washed out looking pics if I don't strip it but let adobe convert it.
Â
In googling for my own problem, I found references to this problem in Adobe Photoshop going back to 2002.They could fix it with a file plugin for existing CS5-6 users, but it really needs to get fixed and Adobe needs to stop ignoring this problem.I find this extra depressing because I prefer to distribute my pictures losslessly in png, but with photoshop, I'm left with lossy jpegs to get accurate color reproduction.

I’m using Corel Draw X5 Home&Student. If I print to PDF (Adobe X Standard) the color profile comes up as disabled. Why?
I have PSP X4 SP2.
Current color working space: AdobeRGB1998.icc.
I want to take HDR photo. I have 3 pictures JPG in AdobeRGB1998. When I giving HDR/MERGE EXPOSURE program automatically changing color profile of my pictures from AdobeRGB for sRGB. Why does it happen?
Just the other day I was reproducing a logo that was in a bitmap format, I got it all going then I tried to color match it..., the file was supplied as PSD,
I cropped the RGB color data and reassigned that into coreldraw, after looking at the image with both PS and DRAW side by side on the same monitor . I noticed that they color looks slightly different. Well both my apps are set with the same color profile,
Most of the time I work in RGB color space and I do lots of digital printing as vehicle wraps and wall murals and numerous sign faces thus color accuracy is very important to me but the rendering inconsistency really troubles me. Â
Both Coreldraw and Photoshop are set to Primary color mode RGB - Adobe RGB 1998
Cmyk output set to web coated SWOP V2
Rendering intent set to Relative Colorimetric. All rendering filters are turned off. Both applications are setup identically. Here is a pic
Notice the green color , same values / same profiles.
Since I've updated to a 22" LCD Screen I've run into a problem, and Im not sure exactly what is causing it. I'll do my best to explain the circumstances.
The problem Im having is managing the colour between what Im doing in Photoshop, and what is being produced on the web. For some reason, the brightness/gamma I have in photoshop is higher than what is being saved for web.
For example, Im working on a PSD file, get the brightness, saturation to exactly where I wanted it, then go "save for web" and as soon as the save for web dialog comes up. It's much "darker".
Here is a screenshot of the photo in photoshop, along with the image saved on the right in firefox.
I've checked the "Color Settings" in Photoshop, and the RGB profile is set to SRGB.
Now most people who view the photo, say it is "too dark". So im assuming that most peopels monitors view the image as too dark. So I need photoshop to view the image as "too dark", so I can tweak the brightness etc so that it becomes correct for most monitor.
Why would photshop show it slightly brighter, as soon as I hit "save for web", the colour Im seeing in the preview window is already "too dark".
It's almost like my default ICC profile is chagned to be too bright. Any help would be appreciated. I think when I installed my graphics card drivers, then Nvidia also ran a color profiler. I also insatlled the monitor drivers for my widescreen.
I use AdobeRGB1998 color profile for monitor and Photoshop.
When I have calibrate monitor I must use new color profile?
How can I preserve my colors so that when I export them to images, they are as close to the colors as I see them as when I view them in a browser?
Right now I'm using:
Adobe RGB 1998 for RGB Colorspaces (Preserve Embedded Profile)
Engine: Adobe ACE
Intent: Relative Colorimetric
[X] Use Blackpoint Compensation
[X] Use Dither (8bit/channel images)
