KMarken Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 When I do an interior PB rendering, they can look great on screen, but when I send them to layout, they look much redder. I have tried exporting the photo, but when I import it as an image in the layout, it has the same hue. This colour is maintained, even when exporting the layout file to a PDF. I have been sending plain JPGs to get around this, and could manually add it in later with a PDF editor, but that is a huge pain. I've scoured ChiefTalk and can't find any mention of this, only greyscale issues. There's no colour options for the photo in layout, just brightness and contrast. I've attached a photo that shows the difference. The one on the left is the layout, the one on the right is what the interior designer likes. For reference, I'm running X16 on a Mac mini.

KMarken Posted July 9 Author Share Posted July 9 Also, it's interesting because when I look at the photo I just uploaded, the colours look very different than the PDF I exported. The exported PDF has a much redder/pinkish tone to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 I believe all colors are based on what media you view or print it on. They will always look different biased on a lot of things, paper, monitor, some are better than others for viewing. higher the resolution the better, but at a cost of a very large file size.

KMarken Posted July 9 Author Share Posted July 9 Well that's the thing, the media and computer ARE the same. My camera view, when sending to layout as an image, has an entirely different hue. The monitor remains the same and it's in the same program, so you would think the image should look the same. But it doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robdyck Posted Thursday at 01:40 PM Share Posted Thursday at 01:40 PM This slight color issue is one more reason why I wouldn't send images to a pdf. I gave up doing that a long time ago, because of several issues relating to outcome and time efficiency. Instead, I recommend using a shared album from one of many available apps. This is fast and easy to share, reduces file size / storage, creates consistency in image output (for you), and allows faster image replacement through design development. If I had no choice in the matter and was being forced to use a pdf to share images, I'd simply tell the client that any perceived color issue is related to various screens / devices. But I just don't have time to tweak and fuss around endlessly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
