Nov 5, 2005Been messing around with photoshop now for a little bit, but I can't seem to find the correct adjustments, or filters to get anywhere near as the desktop in "40910".

View 8 RepliesSome of the lighter, saturated colors in the PANTONE+ swatches library appear to be a different color in the swatch list than they are when applied to a design. see below for screen shots.
i can duplicate this situation on calibrated NEC MultiSync monitors and uncalibrated laptops. We are running on Mac OS X.8x and above.
Designers are complaining about not being able to pick a color from the Swatch Library in AICS6 or AICC. InDesignCC does not seem to have the same issue.
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.
Is there a way to change the color of the Vignette to match the page background color. It appears to that only Black is available at this time.
Is there a transparent vignette available anywhere .
I have something like 1,850 photos, taken in RAW and later converted to DNG, to create a stop motion. All the photos were taken with the same camera (Canon 5D Mk II) and most of them with a 24-70L. All were taken in the same lighting conditions (in an interior, with the house lighting from flourescent lights) and the same day, in a period of maybe 2 or 3 hours. Each "take" was with the exact same camera and exposure parameters.
When processing the photos in Lightroom (using the LR4 beta) I can see some minor but very noticeable differences between color an exposure in the photos of the same "take". The exposure can be more or less automatically corrected by the Matching total exposures (although I think this doesn't work when the exposures are really similar, but there are some subtle differences like in this case, say, something along ~1/5 stop or so), but I haven't found how to try to match the white balance. All of the photos have already been set to a specific WB (I took a ColorChecker Passport at the beginning of the session), but there are still some differences between some of the shots. Some of them look a tad more greener. I blame the flourescent bulbs, but I'm not sure of the real cause.
So, the question is: is there a way to match the color balance of a series of photos to a target one? I really don't want to go photo by photo setting the white balance manually. Is there a tool like the Match total exposures, but for color balance? I have already tried with the automatic white balance, but the problem is that the decided WB for the photos is not the one I need, and I need to have the same WB for all the session, and this could change from different takes. The difference between shots is usually around 4 or 5 "points" in the Tint scale, some are with Tint +11, some with +15.
Or any other tool that could process this after? At the end I'll use JPGs to create the stop motion, so if there is a tool that could process the exported jpgs it could work too.
I have CS6, Epson 3880 printer. Both monitor and printer have been calibrated. When viewing a pic that I wish to print, I go to view, proof setup and chose printer and paper, preserved RGB box is check. This gives me a proof, which is very accurate to what is actually printed. Here's my problem: There is a color change when viewing the pic in proof print mode, which is what in fact, gets printed. Most of the color change involves alteration in red. A red bowl is changed to a brownish read bowl for example. I have been unsuccessful in trying to match the proof to the original color scheme. I've played with hue, color mixing, all to no avail. Is there an easy way to match colors original pic and proof/print?

i want to save the palette and use it with another picture to have the same color-palette on two different images.
The "match color" tool comes close to the result i want to have...but it works with the contrast too and adds colors that i don't want..I JUST want to work with the available colors... simply extract a color palette from an image and use it with a second one to get them match...(without adding something)
I found some tools to do this with 256 color images but I want to to this with my 8bit or 16bit files from my camera.
I think it's a simple answer but I can't find it....I hope someone can help me....

What's the best way to adjust the skin color on the face to match the skin tones on the other image's body to make it look natural?
I've tried using Photoshop CS's "Match Color" feature but it still doesn't look that natural.
My color settings are synchronized across all CS applications. I'm trying to see document both as a soft proof and not. Neither mode improves the color differences I'm seeing on screen. Photoshop displays color TOTALLY differently from all other CS applications: Bridge, InDesign, Illustrator & Acrobat.
In the image below, Indesign is on the left. Photoshop is on the right. Image appears in Bridge, Acrobat and Illustrator just like InDesign.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI used a web hex code to match up a color in a logo. (8700ff). However, now that i am in the process of designing its seems that my PS hex values are not the same as web hex values. Is there a setting that i need to get into to make these match?
Look at the words '' SILVER & HD CAMERAS '' as compared to the words '' The Buffalo Nickle ''. These both are set at a hex value of 8700ff. The color of "HD CAMERA" is correctly matching the site logo which was made in PS cs5. But the sites interpretation of that same Hex value is different.

The third is my closest attempt to color correct: (Color Balance: Midtones- Red +10, Green +40, Blue +72, Shadows- Cyan -5, Green +8, Blue +13, Highlights- Cyan -4, Green +5, Blue +12), #3.
I have to deal with multiple layer documents for producing underwater mosaics. Very often, the images vary in colors a bit. For large mosaics, I run the images thru a batch job before I use them. For smaller mosaics (e.g. just 10 to 20 images), this is a bit of overkill, in case I have to tweak just 5 or 10 or so.
In this case, I prefer picking one of the 20 layers as my "reference" and manually match the colors of those layers, that need the match, one by one.
My question now: Is there a way, that I could select, lets say 10 layers that need the match and apply the Match Color to all of them in one go?
I am a mixed media artist/art teacher and I pay a local printer to adjust the colors of my work via Photoshop so that the final print matches the colors in my original artwork. I would like to learn to do this myself, but I have no clue which product I need to purchase or how to get started.

how to use the match color tool to automatically convert one grayscale image into multiple output images based on a collection of color swatches? Or a better process to achieve this automated?
I have all the swatches in psd files in one directory. I can do them one-by-one but I was wondering if there was a way to automate this process and have it spit out and save the different images automatically based on the saved swatch colors.

I had to make a flyer for an event i'm organizing. Found a low quality picture online which i used as background, asked the photographer if i could use this picture, and asked for that picture in high res. I received the high res picture after the deadline for the flyer, so i was forced to make a temporary flyer from the low quality picture. I made some changes to the brightness/contrast of the picture, and might have changed other color setting or used effects, but i can't remember which settings i changed nor the values i changed it to. Is there a way to retrieve this information from the picture/gimp so the colors for both images are exactly the same?

View 1 Replies View RelatedEditing a video in LR4 you can capture a frame, adjust the color, and save a preset to apply to other videos. BUT the frame capture is a jpg so you can't specify a color temperature; you hve to use the slider(s) and cross your fingers. I have two consecutive videos, one shot with AWB and the other set to Shade. I need to adjust the AWB shot (very cool) to match the Shade shot (very warm). There are so many sliders, I can't even get close to matching them.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI've got two different color balance problems. The first is where I have two photos that I want to match the lighting in each.
The second is where I have a 'control' and I want another photo or print to 'match' it.
Currently I'm having the second problem. A customer brought in an original painting for us to scan and make holiday cards from. But they also brought in a photo print from a local chain and they have asked me to match the color representation from that print.
It is duller, the blues are purple and it is over all darker. Personally, I think the photo is a horrible representation of the painting. BUT IT IS WHAT THE CUSTOMER WANTS.
I've scanned in both the photo and the original drawing. If I print the photo it matches the color of the scan. (but is the wrong crop size and can't be used for the card.) How do I draw color out of that and get my original to 'match' other than just using my eyes? (which is about impossible for me today) I normally use 'sample/target balance' in corel PhotoPaint, but you can't do that between two layers OR between two files. This would be a great change to make in x7 or an update.

How to create a new graphic color chip to match a video background.
Conditions
- Video MainTrack: Color Chip/Graphic
- Video OverlayTrack1: Video of my Mom sitting in a chair against a painted wall being interviewed about her life [age 87]
The project is 16x9 and video is 4x3 which I have left-centered [so there is a black "stripe" to the right of the video image] As she talks about certain events, I will have .JPG photos show on overlay tracks 2 & 3 in this "black stripe" area
I desire to make the "black stripe" are match the wall behind Mom so project looks more Professional
Question: How can I create a color chip that matches the background painted wall. All I can think of is to create a screen capture, open that is PAINT, and read-off the color coordinates.
Note: My only Corel product is VSPro.
I did put a real photo in the background of my website to fit entire page. So the text of my webpage is black, and sometimes other colors. So what happen is that some times the text is hard to read when it come on top of dark places of the photo (for example hear of people). So i want to adapt the photo to make it more unicolor, more whiten (increase whiteness) so the black text will appear even better.
What tools and filters in gimp that give me this ability to do that ?

View 1 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:
The document "IMG_9082.CR2"has an embedded color profile that does not match the current RGB working space.
Embedded: Adobe RGB (1998)
Working sRGB IEC61966-2.1
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)
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.
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.
