iMovie color management
by Tyler Boley 29 Oct '14

29 Oct '14

I'm creating a variety of short movies featuring photography stills in iMovie, I need the transition and Ken Burn's cropping tools. I've tried a variety of import methods (tagged tiffs), including pre-converting all files to HDTV, sRGB, GenericRGB, etc, and iMovie totally hammers near blacks with loss of continuity and bad color crossovers. I've also tried various export methods, to no avail. Problems are most obvious with B&W imagery but close inspection of color reveals the same problems. Is it simply impossible to do this well with iMovie, or are there some techniques I need to use? I've googled about this a lot, seems to be a commom problem... Thanks, Tyler

Hi Tyler It's worth looking at using a monitor profile built as v2 rather than v4. ᐧ Caused issues before but its been a while since I looked at it.

ColorPort suddenly not launching
by Scott Martin 22 Oct '14

22 Oct '14

Has anyone experienced ColorPort not launching? It’s always worked great for me under Mavericks (and every other Mac OS in the last 10 years) but suddenly won’t launch. I’ve tried reinstalling Mavericks, Java 6 and Java 7 and at every step it just won’t launch at all. No dialog box, nothing, all users, hard drive and permissions check out fine. Anyone seen this?

I am sure is a silly question, but I cannot find a way to extract in photoshop CC an rgb profile I made a long time ago which is embedded in a psd file. I need to apply the same profile to other images... thanks for the help! Carlo
