Lightroom :: Softproof In Photoshop On External Display Not Matching

Sep 5, 2013

When I soft proof an image in Lightroom (5) and in Photoshop (CS6) on my external display there is a noticeable difference between the two proofs.
 
This is the case both with "simulate paper & ink" on and off (with matching settings in both applications) and with a variety of different profiles being used. On my laptop screen the proofs always match (between Photoshop and Lightroom).
 
On the external display with soft proofing off there is an exact match between images in LR and PS. With soft proofing on saturated areas of images (particularly reds, greens and yellows) become noticeably less saturated and blocked up in LR as compared to PS. Subdued colours appear to match. It's almost like they are both using the same profile but Lightroom is squashing it into a smaller gamut. I'm fairly sure PS is correct and LR is the one with something going wrong.
 
I'd like to sort it as I'd prefer to soft proof in Lightroom as that's where I print from. I've read up a lot on colour management and can't find a solution.
 
(I'm on a Macbook pro running 10.8.4 and the external display is an NEC Spectraview 271 (euro version of PA271W), the display is calibrated and profiled with Spectraview 5, with an i1 Display Pro. Working space in PS is Prophoto RGB and it's set to preserve embedded profiles. I've checked with various test images but mostly been using Bill Atkinon's printer test image. I set up the image in LR and PS to match on screen position and with the same colour (white) background, I can then flick back and forth and there should be no change but there is and it's very obvious.)

Lightroom :: External Drives Display As Folders?

Sep 6, 2013

I’ve got a question about external drives display in the folder tree. For some reason, when I add a folder on an external drive, I get a new “Volumes” folder, and then the drive appears as a folder under the “Volumes” folder. So, instead of having a quick view of which drives are connected, I get a bunch of “missing images” question marks on the folders when the drives disconnect.I don’t get the extra collapsable bar (Under Macintosh HD) as in your video.

Lightroom :: Softproof To ARGB Or SRGB - Resulting Proof Crushes Dark Tones Into Solid Black

Apr 2, 2014

When 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?

CorelDRAW X6 :: Color - Display And Print Not Matching Application

Jul 19, 2012

Context - I am brand new to the graphic design business and working with a friend to create a logo for their new business.  The logo will be used for web and print purposes.

I am having an issue where the colors used while in the CorelDraw application are not matching the exported files or what comes off the printer.  Printer - HP officejet 6500 - using this for a checkpoint only, will not use for actual printing

I created the logo using CMYK color palette and used the default settings in Corel as far as color management goes...It is U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2.  The application is still in an "out of the box" state as I am too new to know how to change anything.

So, that said...the image looks great in the application.  I exported several proof files for my friend, but see now that I used RGB for the export.  He loves the design and I am ready to deliver his files.  Those RGB files "look" fine when opened as jpeg or png, but when printed they are completely different.

I've read that it is important to deliver CMYK files as well as RGB files.  So, I attempted to export with that color style thinking it might fix that problem, since I created the image using that palette.  When I try to export using CMYK though, the color goes absolutely whacko.  Viewing on the computer, the muted green (20.0.60.20) turns into a neon green...and it prints that way as well.

I know computer monitors have variations, but if I see it in the application one way, viewing the exported file on the same computer monitor shouldn't pose an issue.

Photoshop :: Color Management ICC Profiles On External Display

Feb 14, 2013

I have an asus laptop running windows 7. I currently have Photoshop cs5.1 extended as well as lightroom3. I just purchased an external monitor (wide Gamut Asus PA246q) I do most of my editing and corrections on this monitor. I use the spyder4pro for calibration software on both my external and laptop monitor. I know the laptop monitor is not a great editing monitor, but I calibrated it anyway. Realizing its limitations, I use the external monitor for all use in Photoshop. My laptop display is set up as my “main display” in windows 7 and with my Nvidia GeForce GTX 560m card.
 
When running Photoshop cs5 on my external monitor, if I look under the color settings in my working color space, it lists the monitor RGB profile as my laptop display. Does this mean that my external monitor is using the laptop profile? Some say yes, others no… if this is the case is there any way to fix this other that making my external display my “primary display”? I haven’t noticed the external monitor to have any color shifts or inaccurate colors, but I want to be sure Photoshop is correctly choosing the external monitors profile and outputting accurate colors.

As I mentioned earlier, I also use lightroom as well. This too is located on my external monitor this should not be an issue either correct?

Photoshop :: Window Does Not Display Unless Connected To External Monitor

Apr 20, 2012

I use a MBP connected it to an Apple Cinema Display used as an external monitor (not a dual display) when in my studio.
 
When I use Adobe Photoshop CS 5 without the monitor the image window does not display on the MBP. If I plug the external monitor in, the window is displayed correctly on the MBP. Photoshop is opening and "displaying" the image window offscreen. Nothing gets it back onscreen, except plugging in the external monitor.
 
I often use Photoshop away from my studio so this is a big problem. PShop is essentially unusable unless connected to an external monitor.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Display Pitch Diameter On External Thread

Oct 12, 2013

When we make an external threaded part, like a stud or something, I'd like to save my lathe guys some time looking things up by showing the pitch diameters on the thread callouts.

I've looked through some posts on this and it doesn't seem like there's an easy way to do it in an automated fashion, even though the data is in the Thread.xls file.  I'd really like to not have to look it up to make every print.

First, I thought I'd just use the "Custom Thread Designation" field, but as soon as I changed it in the XLS file, I kept getting alerts in Inventor saying that there was an error in the thread family because the callout applied to multiple fit classes or something like that.  So that didn't work out very well. So....

1. Is there a way to do this?
2. What is the point of the "custom thread designation" infrastructure?  Am I not using it correctly?

Photoshop :: Lightroom Matching

Oct 18, 2008

1)When I view the same raw file with both Lightroom 2 & Photoshop CS3 the PS version is darker with a slight colour shift. All metadata synchronised & ACR 4.5

2) When I export a photo (from LR)as TIFF (with profile) this same photo viewed on both PS and LR shows the same difference as 1 above. When same photo viewed with ADC pro, result matches LR not PS.

3) When I print photo (as TIFF above) with PS & LR the prints from both match the LR display and not PS's

I use a calibrated display.

What is the problem here anyone? Does PS use display profile differently from LR? which is correct?

Lightroom :: Workflow / Matching Different Cameras And Lenses?

May 9, 2013

I'm currently trying to match six cameras and all their different lenses to produce identical images and I need fine tuning my workflow on making the camera profiles.
 
Me and my team are shooting weddings. We have Nikon D3s, Nikon D3, 2x Canon 5D mk III, Canon 1D mk 3, Canon 5D mk II with 17 lenses and I'm in the middle of the process of matching their colors so when we shoot together I don't go crazy trying to match the white balance between all the cameras in Lightroom.
 
The issue I have is that I managed to make all the colors, contrast, saturation and brightness for all cameras and lenses on daylight shots identical (with minimal differences) but shots under 2800k light are very different.
 
I bought a 24 patch color checker and took photos with all cameras - once with a 2800k halogen lamp and then with a 5500k strobe (Nikon SB-800 @ 1/16 power). I shot in RAW. The exposures are good - no blown highlights or unexposed parts. In Camera raw I applied the "Camera neutral" color profile for all cameras. I exported the shots in DNG. For each camera and lens I imported the halogen and flash lit file into DNG Profile editor.In the chart section I created a color table for the "2850 K only" halogen lit shot and then for the flash lit shot choosing "6500 K only".
 
So far so good. The colors are good but to achieve them for the different cameras or lenses I need to input different color temperatures and tint. What I want is to set identical color temperature for all photos (say 5500k) and to get identical colors regardless of camera or lens.
 
So the next step I took to get at least the daylight shots identical is to play with the "White balance calibration" under the "Color matrices" tab. For instance - DNG Profile editor determines that the flash shot should be set to 6050k +8 tint. I move the "white balance calibration" sliders until I reach the numbers I want above the flash shot (5500k). Because the colors shift I press the "Create color table" button again. My goal is to show the program that I want these (calibrated) colors to be achieved at 5500k +0 tint and not 6050k +8 tint. I get the result I want but that affects the 2850k shot. If I readjust the "white balance calibration" sliders for the 2850k shot and use "create color table" again, that ruins the 6500k adjustment.
 
So using this workflow I get either the daylight shots right or the tungsten lit shots, but not both.
 
So in short my question is - How do I create proper profiles that produce identical colors among all cameras and lenses under all white balance settings?

Lightroom :: Matching Develop Settings To In-Camera Picture Styles

Oct 6, 2013

For certain shoots it would suit me to have my pictures import and look like the embedded jpegs which are created using Canon's standard picture styes. Is there an easy way to create LR develop settings to match the popular Canon styles such as Standard, Portrait and Landscape so that I get approx the same amount of sharpness, contrast, colour balance. Perhaps someone has already done that and they've shared the Lightroom Presets.

Lightroom :: Lens Profiles Missing - Unable To Locate Matching Profile Automatically?

Feb 6, 2014

I have Lightroom 3 and just this morning noticed that all of the preloaded lens profiles are missing. I've been using the program for 3 years now and they've always been there previously. The only one available is SIGMA. I have a Canon, so all of those are gone. At the bottom of the box in "Develop" it says "Unable to locate a matching profile automatically."
 
I am running on Windows and tried repairing, but it seems to be missing the installation file that it needs.Is there a way to download and install the profiles for just the lenses I have? Or, do I need to completely re-install? If that's the case, will all of my libraries stay in tact?

Lightroom :: Using Photoshop As External Editor

Aug 3, 2013

On a 64 bit machine with the 64 bit version of LR installed, evoking Photoshop as external editor still incorrectly opens the 32 bit version of PS, not the 64 bit as used to happen with LR4. One can work around this if one remembers to open the 64 bit version of PS beforehand, but still, this is surely an easy bug to correct.

Lightroom :: Photoshop Not Working As External Editor?

Jan 22, 2014

A couple of weeks ago a weird problem has started ocurring. Photoshop stopped working as an external editor. When I click Edit in Photoshop, Photoshop opens and it seems like it's trying to open the image but then nothing happens. It only works when I export the image as a PSD and open it then. I think I have managed to narrow it down a little because when I click the .dng file in Finder, Photoshop tries to open the file and comes back with an error message saying "Der Vorgang konnte nicht ausgeführt werden, weil das Dateiformatmodul die Datei nicht interpretieren kann" which roughly translates to that the file can't be interpreted. I think there may be something wrong with how Lightroom converts DNG files because I can open older files fine. Funnily enough I can even open some (really just a small percentage) of the current .dngs when I can't open others. I tried reinstalling both Lightroom and Photoshop to no avail. It happens with both Photoshop CS6 and CC.

Lightroom :: Exporting Keyword Synonyms To Photoshop / External Editor?

May 27, 2012

I've gone through a lot of trouble to create keyword lists for use within Lightroom 4, but I'm finding that I lose all of the synonyms I've set on the photo when I export my photo to Photoshop for further tweaks. 
 
Exporting from Lightroom directly properly includes all synonyms, but if I use CTRL-E to open the photo in an external editor, only the defined keywords are exported with the image.  It seems unless I do all of my editing within Lightroom, I'm going to lose these synonyms.

Lightroom :: How To Save From 3 To An External HDD

Jan 25, 2013

I just bought a Seagate Backup Plus external hard disk drive for the sole purpose of storing my photo files in the Backup Drive. How do I do this? If I select a certain photo and go to File>Export that takes me to the Hard Drive location, which is a desktop Mac. My external HDD is connected to the Mac, but by clicking on the Hard Drive as end destination, am I storing it on the Seagate HDD? I don't think so.
 
Shouldn't the Mac recognize the presence of an external hard drive and give it a letter designation? By the way, I would first like to create various folders in the external drive for different photo ctegories (e.g., landscapes, people, etc.)

Lightroom :: Developer To Import A Clients Catalog From Photoshop Elements On An External Hard Drive
