Print to a file THAT JPEG seems washed out

Hello

I recently exported a JPEG file from the print for the first time module so I could get it printed at a photo lab. I was surprised to see that the file looked rather washed out/under saturated the original did in Lightroom. I have a lot of experience in exporting to the web and I am aware on color spaces and how sRGB is better for web and printing of photo lab. As far I can tell my print settings from the file are accurate.

My best guess is that the rendering intent option changes the color of a little jpeg? I left the perceptive value option. The rendering intent option cause colors seem less saturated in a print to JPEG file? If this is the case, then I guess the photo lab should compensate for that when I go to print?

Ah. This seems to be another manifestation of the export module bug rather weird print. Many people have now seen elsewhere on the forum and you submit a bug report. It is only on versions of windows from Lightroom AFAICT. What seems to happen, is that Lightroom renders the image in the display profile, and then click profile assigns the sRGB (or other) to export. Your observation that it is more or less correct when you use adobeRGB makes me think that you probably have a display wide gamut. You can check if you have the bug by assigning the display profile in Photoshop to export. There should be no involvement of the profile screen any export from the print module, but somehow it happens. Clearly a bad bug. Fortunately I've ever met, but he'd bum majorly because it's a showstopper. The only solution I've heard of is to temporarily assign sRGB on the screen, make your export and place your calibrated monitor profile.

Using LR 2.6?

  • HP w2338h HDMI seems washed out compared to VGA.

    The w2338h myHP when using HDMI, the colors look washed out and show levels of black poor compared to the use of VGA.

    I found a solution! I don't know what you have to do in the ATI drivers, but I guess that there is a similar option buried.

    The NVIDIA Control Panel, go to "Desktop color Adjust settings" under "view". From there, the "Digital color Format" change RGB to YCbCr444 and voila, your color and black level problems are fixed!

  • Print a PDF file that has been filled

  • I had to reinstall Vista Home premium and now printing is so great that it seems I am in safe mode. How can I fix it

    changing the size of the print

    Go to the website of the manufacturer of your computer/laptop > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > look for the latest Vista drivers > download/install them.

    Then proceed as follows:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-AU/Windows-Vista/change-screen-resolution

    Change the screen resolution

    Screen resolution refers to the clarity of the text and images on your screen. At higher resolutions, items appear sharper. They appear also smaller, so more items adapted to the screen. At lower resolutions, fewer items adapted to the screen, but they are larger and easier to see. At very low resolutions, however, images may have serrated edges.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    I read somewhere that DnxHD recently changed between 0 and 255 to 16-255 which would also change your gamma as well.

    It of also in the rec. 709 so try to use the utility profile of AE rec.709 converter that it should go to the top. There are two types 16-235 and 0-255 flavors of DnxHD.

  • Change a washed out sky?

    I have an image that has a washed out sky, almost white in color. I tried to change the sky, but do not have another copy of the image at a different time of the day to be able to blend in with a different look. There is also a tree in a corner of the image that covers a part of the sky makes it harder to drop out of the sky and add a new. Does anyone have a good suggestion on how to change the appearance of the sky either replacing or adding to the existing one? Thank you.

    GulfCoast salvation,

    It is difficult to know the best approach without seeing the real picture, but my inclination would be something like this

    1. create a new empty layer on top of the stack for the sky

    2. create a selection of the area of the sky, maybe just a long rectangle by using the rectangle

    3. Add a gradient in the layer in the selection, have degraded vertical and light down

    4. change the blending Mode of the layer to multiply sky

    I want to continue my membership with Adobe, however, not if it requires some additional software purchase.

    For .ai files, you will need to use or know someone who uses Illustrator or another program compatible .ai to convert. If you access a page of image details before license you can see the file type.

  • When using an accept custom attribute on an input file his show all files rather than the files that I choose (accept = "image/jpeg, image/gif, image/png, image)

    Hi, I am trying to use the entry of the file accept to limit the type of file that the user can choose when downloading a file. in fact, I have two problems that I can't understand our:

     1. If i am using the value "image/*" its limit the user to all the images but if i am using a custom
         limit e.g. "image/jpeg,image/gif,image/png,image/bmp" its show all the limits in the select box but the
         default value for ths user is "All Files". In Chrome and IE10 its working as needed.
    
     2. When i am trying to limit to "swf" files using the value "application/x-shockwave-flash" its show "All Files".
         In Chrome and IE10 its working as needed.
    

    I use Windows 7.

    Thank you.

    Well, it seems you do what it says in the documentation: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/HTML/Element/Input#attr-accept

    Firefox actually allow you to drop a folder that is not on the list? In other words, is the problem of acceptance is ignored, or that the filter does not display the dialog box?

  • Need help to export files in Jpeg format for printing

    I'm quite new to this, so any help would be appreciated. I use Lightroom 3 and need to export files in Jpeg format to put on Smugmug for printing. My understanding is that I put 300 PPI, in measuring the "size to fit" and the width and the height, I'm a bit confused. I'm trying to find my size of the original file that I can't find if I can put it in the right dimensions for export. My problem is that I want to export by batch and I need a way where I can export there will be minimum smugmug in culture when people are going to buy prints. I'm looking for the best image quality for printing without losing parts of the image due to the size of the file. Thank you very much!

    The size of the image are in the metadata Panel of the library Module.

    If you want to allow people of the same image to print sizes, then they will have to crop the image to the right size on Smugmug. There is no way to avoid it. I know that you said you don't want to crop the images, people, but users MUST make a crop so that the image has the same proportions as the print size.

    Similarly, if you want to allow people to print 4 x 6 or 11 x 17 or any other standard size, then you must provide as many pixels as possible. You can not, to your computer in Lightroom, choose settings that match all of these possibilities.

    So, again, I recommend that you download the whole photo, without culture and without resizing to the default PPP. Nothing else will not provide the end user the flexibility to print in different sizes.

  • I can't and never been able to open a file that was previously saved on hard disk by selecting the print option to get in the print dialog box

    I can not and never been able to open a file that was previously saved on hard disk by selecting the print option to get in the print dialog box. Firefox displays gooblygook, even if the name of file is an html element, the Notepad of Windows crashes, MS Excel does not recognize the file type. MS Word also displays goobblys when the file has no file extension.

    If you use the file printing, then you will get a file that is supposed to be sent to a printer, and this file has any sort of code formatting for this printer.

    Open such a file in Firefox or a text editor can only work if you use one printer for text to print the file to, then make sure that such a printer is installed and selected.

    How to access the tab 'Save all' when I close several jpeg files that have been adjusted with the "color adjust tool? He is currently making me close and save one at a time.  I've just upgraded to El Capitan.  Thanks for any help :)

    I assume that you use the application overview.

    I can't find an answer to back up everything, but a workaround could be while the file menu options are visible, press the option key

    and the point of the window will become close, if you click on that dialogue will ask you if you want to restore the changes or save

    pressing Save will close the image with the changes and then move to the next image and so on.
