All of a sudden today when i went to process photos, in either Lightroom 4 or CS5 all the skin tones are bright pink? They are fine when viewing them on my computer, just not threw adobe products.
View 1 RepliesWhat are the ranges for correct skin tones using RGB%? Used to using a scale from 0 to 255. But with LR it's RGB , I know 100% RGB is white. What do you use for %?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI shoot in Camera RAW on a Canon 5D2 in LR3 and I'm having colour issues; skin tones are often purple/magenta tinted and very difficult to correct. I usually set the WB to Custom and shoot a grey card and set the picture style on the camera to Neutral (why does the WB affect RAW images anyway, I thought it only operated on the jpgs?)
On import, pics often look ok then resolve into higher contrast, garish colour versions which are less pleasing - have I set a preference incorrectly or am I missing something else?
I need to make a bright pink/hot pink type of color for the web/monitors.
I been through tons of pantones, art books, etc... All the pinks look like pastel or extremely dull, not bright at all, like that hot pink, neon pink type of color.
1. is there a certain pantone/color/etc that will give me that hot pink color that will look hot pink on a website? if so what is it?
2. if there is no color for this, is there some way to simulate it?
How do you get that skin effect?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a number of photos to retouch and balance skin toning. The basic problem is that the young lady in the photographs has two distingt skin tones but no clearly defined 'tan line'. The differences are detectable and visible (between her back and backside for instance) and I guess caused purely by sun exposure pigmentation versus those bits that never see the sun!

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have trouble getting proper skin tones when I print eventho the color looks great on the screen. On print w/ preview, I have checked "Let photoshop determine the color". Skin tones look colorless when I print w/ my Canon Pro 9000. If I print using Automate, East Print, the colors are OK but the size can't be adjusted.

I can't see where I need to go to change it back to grey!!
I just bought a certain Nikon camera, which I recently discovered is notoriuous for producing green shadows in skin tones, the darker the shadow the worse it looks.
How to isolate and adjust these shadows and make them more true to real skin tones? It can't be a globally applied color correction because only the shadows are out of whack and the rest of the image looks great. Reduce green globally will make the rest of the image too red.
matching the skintone of an object which I am pasting onto another skin tone.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI colorize black and white photos, but I also come by b/w pictures where the person's skin is so bright, it is just a white blob with eyes, nose, and a mouth. And when I colour it, it is a super-bright skin colour blob with a nose and mouth.How can I put back natural looking shadows to it?
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen I go to import and look at my photos (previously edited in PSE9 and saved as a jpg on an external hard drive) they look great. But when I import them some of the photos look weird - too bright usually or the colour has gone all funny. I've deleted them out of LR and then tried importing them but it happens again. Only on a certain few. They are jpgs.
What is happening? In finder on the mac they look normal too. under Import on LR4 they look normal. It's just once they are imported.
I shot an event for a couple (a reception) and I didn't have my gray card so I set my Canon 5D mkII on auto white balance (shooting with a Canon 24-70 2.8 and a Sigma 85 1.4). As you'll see from the two example photos - the shots taken in the venue lobby looked fine, but the shots from inside the event itself were amazingly saturated. The room had a ton of very bright uplighting in purple and pink - the shots looked fine in the viewfinder, but once I brought them into LR4, there was a nearly complete purple/pink cast over everything. Setting the white balance in LR to auto, tungsten, flourescent - nothing worked. Adjusting the temp sliders - only slightly better. Reducing vibrance and saturation useful a little more, but I'm really having a hard time finding a fix!

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been playing with gimp a lot to edit my photos and how to reduce bright patches in photos that have bright spot that kinda take over the photo. I am using Gimp and cannot retake the photo.
Here is what I did.
1. I outlined my body and took away 100% of the blue, this makes the black look cleaner in my opinion.
2. I then inverted the outline and reduced the blue for the rest of the photo by 50% giving the white a cleaner look.
3. Then I outlined the bright area of snow below my feet and lowered the brightness.
4. I highlighted the sky from the mountain base up and increased the blue by 100% twice.
Here are the before and after pictures.

while processing images from a wedding, I stumbled about a weird color bug on a handfull of images in three different situations with CR2's (Canon Raw) Red-tones especially on lips and edges appear to be grey instead of red and orange.
I usually use a standard import preset, however, I completely zeroed everything out, and the mistake still occurs in Lighroom. However, in RAW-Therapee are all the colors just fine when zeroed or edited.
When a person is being captured, especially my self, the picture shows some nice color of the skin in the LCD display of the camera.
But when I download the picture to the computer I appear red in my face.
are there a possibility to put some kind of layer og change the color balance,- that way I will have the same skin color in my face as on the LCD display. (more brown (a tan) and not red)?
I have, of course, checked myself in the mirror several times to check if I am really red and that is not the case.
I use photoshop 7.0.
I suspect this is something to do with the flash, and I'll be aware of this next time I take some pictures.
But the problem is that I can't recapture these picture, because this was on a vacation.
how to change this?
I removed color info and reset to greyscale, yet I still get a pink hue when I save as a pdf.
View 4 Replies View RelatedFrequently when I import raw Nikon files to lightroom 4 I initially see a picture with tone and white balance I really like. during this time (2 to 10 seconds) the histogram indicates that it is calculating. When the histogram is finished calculating the picture changes with bad tone (exposure, contrast ...). You can go and manually change the tone settings but it can take sometime and I would rather be able to quickly return to the picture settings that was initially presented. Is there a short cut or easier way?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to streamline a daily activity processing photos with Gimp by using incrontab (which makes it when you add files to a directory, it will automatically run a program to deal with the event). I have a python-fu script that I need to run after selecting four corners of what will be new photos.
It will run itself on all images open in gimp which reduces my keystrokes or mouse clicks. The problem I'm having is that when I put four photos into the processing directory, incron opens four instances of gimp instead of opening gimp once and adding each photo to its open images. I'm using Ubuntu Linux. I'd really like to make the same instance of gimp open the photos, but I'm not sure how to do that.
Since yesterday, suddenly no .XMP files are being made (or at least I can't see them anymore(!??) when processing RAW (.CR2) photos.

To keep my edits on the raw files, I exported them into tiff files and then imported them into Lightroom.
Unfortunately all the tiffs appear to bright in Lightroom. In the screenshot you can see preview showing the tiff as it would appear in Aperture and the much brighter representation in Lightroom.

View 18 Replies View RelatedI have had pink stripes occur on four different downloads on LR4. I have been an Aperture user for several years and was making the switch to LR4 but growing concerned with this issue and need to know what is causing it before I continue down this path. I have never had this occur before in Aperture. My hard drive is relatively new, my memory and storage is fine. I did switch to a different card reader to see if it would work.

View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen I am going through RAW files from my Canon cameras (1Ds MkIII and 6D) I edit them in the develop module and then convert to aRGB or sRGB depending on the output media. They look good in aRGB and sRGB too when I take into account the limitations of sRGB.
---> However, if I try the softproof to aRGB or sRGB the resulting proof crushes dark tones into solid black. Why is this when the actual conversions are way better? The actual conversions look good in both LR and PS CS5.
I have also noticed that when I upload images to my online galleries and view them with Firefox (latest version and color management enabled for all rendered graphics) they appear darker in the darkest tones than what they appear in LR. What gives?
