Still image color distortion

I had the same issue and what I did to fix it was edit the white point on the original photo file. I dropped the contrast a bit too and that immediatley fixed the image distortion problem in premiere.

Please post complete comp specs.

Update or rollback video driver.

On reflection,  I'm thinking that if you put it into YOUR photoshop version, and make sure your color space is sRGB ( rec 709 if you have that option ,, video ) , and save as a PSD ( without ANY adjustments in photoshop ) what does that look like when you put it into PPRO ???

You can do your contrast and levels ( luma values ) using Lumetri.

???

good going on posting the raw thing. I have a quick question, and then I'm gonna say what happened with ME just so other people can know that later on. So good going.

Question: DID you ever try putting the raw image in question directly INTO Premiere pro ??  BEFORE doing stuff in photoshop ????

Thanks.

What happened to me. I downloaded raw image and put it into both resolve source material folder and desktop ( on junk laptop ).

I then downloaded and installed the sony raw file codec for that for WINDOWS 10 ( win 10 is latest, updated automatically thanks to stupid Microsoft ).

I opened a CS6 photoshop and couldn't open the file.

I opened a project in CS6 PPro and couldn't even SEE the filename listed in my directory or desktop.

I opened a project in Resolve and couldn't even SEE the filename listed in my directory or desktop.

I put it into media info and got nothin basically ( junk info )

I double clicked on the image on desktop and some PC windows photo 'viewer' opened and showed me the image. I looks like I'd expect it to... bright sun, much darker foreground. Nice shot. Bold ....is hard to shoot into sun.

Then I right clicked on the desktop thumbnail of image and chose 'properties' and got TONS OF INFO... dimensions, PPI, all sorts of cool info.

But I'm out of this as far as helping goes cause I can't open ( or even SEE ) the filename in PPro or Resolve.

🙂

good luck !!!    Hope you didn't meet any mean polar bears when taking that shot !

I capture my photos in RAW and then i edit them in Camera Raw (Photoshop)

this thread is going nowhere fast... IMO. You've been asked to upload the original image... that is the file that came OUT OF YOUR CAMERA. It will be a FILE with some kind of extension ... depending on what camera you used to make the RAW image.... 

do you know how to upload a file ???? There are various ways... like dropbox and google and so on.... cause you can't just drop a file into this forum directly... Figure it out and then someone can put THAT into their own programs ( photoshop or PPro or AE ) and solve your problem maybe...

Hi McSenderson,

Do you have the Video Limiter effect applied to the clip with Gamut warning enabled? That can cause this color overlay on the blown-out highlights.

Thanks,

Sumeet

Thank you all for your answers! I will try what you have suggested but in the meantime here's what the picture looks like before imprting it into Premiere Pro. (Note that this is a screnshot of the original image!)

but those pixels are so far out they're going bizarre in Premiere.

THAT made me laugh out loud, for real.... thank you... I needed that laugh. It's like a huge understatement.

hehe

I think you need to try bringing down the white point of that image in Photoshop if you can ... Levels or Curves, dropping the white point a bit. See if that's better. Not to get color back there, but those pixels are so far out they're going bizarre in Premiere.

Then ... bring down the White point in Lumetri's RGB Curve and see what it looks like ...

As a test, go to File > Project Settings > General and set the renderer to Software only.

Any difference?
