Quick Fix: The Morning Fog
16 October 2023
This morning we made a cappuccino to start the day, as we do every weekday, and looked out the window only to see the ocean had disappeared. The fog was lying low on the surface of the water.
The Morning Fog. Nikon D300 with 18-200mm Nikkor at 112mm (168mm equivalent) f11, 1/250 second and ISO 200. Processed in Camera Raw 16.
After living in this house for 20 years, we'd never seen the ocean so obscured. So we hustled down to the bunker for our longest lens and took a picture.
That was when the fun started.
On the occasion of Adobe MAX, the company has updated much of its software in the Creative Suite, including Camera Raw. Friday, we highlighted two changes we bumped into working on our slide show in Lightroom. Today we found similar challenges working in Camera Raw.
The first question we had was, "Where did Dehaze go?" The whole panel system has been revamped and we found it, along with Clarity, Texture and Vignette, in the Effects panel. Oh.
But more vexing was that when finished editing the image in Camera Raw and opened it in Photoshop, we got a warning that the embedded ICC profile was invalid. So the image was converted to monochrome.
We were working on our M2 MacBook Pro. And that display lets us edit in HDR mode, now available in both Lightroom and Camera Raw. But we weren't doing that.
To cut to the chase, Camera Raw was assigning the Display P3 color space to our DNG file. And while Lightroom apparently supports that, Photoshop doesn't seem to recognize it.
ICC Profile. Resetting the color profile from Display P3 to ProPhoto RGB let Photoshop open the color image.
We had to click on the white-lettered link at the bottom of the Camera Raw window (to the left of the buttons) to assign the ProPhoto RGB ICC profile to the image before Photoshop would recognize it as a color image.
Talk about morning fog.
