Title: Bad Colours when Importing Pictures
Post by: andru_beaner on May 25, 2007, 02:25:31 pm
My lightroom doesnt like to load my pictures in colour.  I installed it for the first time back in February, and my pictures were a Black and Blue scale.  Then I reformatted my computer not too long ago, and thought i would give it another try...and now the pictures are a Black and Green scale.  If anyone knows why it is doing this, and knows how to fix it, that would be awesome.  Thank You

You display profile is corrupt...toss it and start from fresh.

Calibrate your monitor using a professional quality calibration tool.

I have a calibrated monitor, and have the profile and everything.  I changed Profiles as well, and nothing has changed

Well, you may THINK you have, but if your images are still hosed in Lightroom then you haven't...simple as that.

If you want further help, you're gonna have to provide complete and exact detail of your system, OS, & version, how you've created the display profiles, with what hardware/software and exactly how you've set them in the system. This is troubleshooting 101...

Hi

I once saw a similar problem in Photoshop and it got resolved when i downloaded the latest version of camera raw.  Try making sure you have the latest and greatest.
