Importing images into Encore adds inexplicable blue tint

[Matt Debackere]

I tried saving them as psds without the color profile and then dragging them in, but encore wouldnt recognize the psds, how is that supposed to work?

Answer to the problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, I figured it out, it has nothing to do with taking the color profile out or saving it as psd or something else or monitor calibration, etc.

Its simply that all images imported need to be less than 1 mb, even if they are 1.1mb it will make them blue, apparently its some kind of built in safety within encore, not sure why. So you can save it as a jpg just make it under 1mb and this should fix the evil blue tint, it worked for me every single time!

I find it hard to believe that it’s some kind of “inbuilt safety” thing. How could you watch a decent HD slideshow which you make in Encore itself if each photo can’t be any larger than 1 MB? It’s more likely a conflict between the OS and/or Quicktime and Encore.

[Matt Debackere]

Well whether it is or not, it works, im not sure how it could be quicktime, as I never use it with the pics, they go straight to lightroom, then photoshop, then encore, quicktime doesnt come into the process

I imported as slideshow. Worked like a charm.

Well I just tried importing as a slideshow, but the problem persists. I think I’ll have to modify every photo that’s over 1 MB in Photoshop. I have found that .psd files that are imported or dragged into Encore do not have any problems, but you can’t make these files into a slideshow.

My .psd slideshow is working fine.

I am running into the same problem only after upgrading to IE8. Once going back to 7 the tint goes away. We are using a directory from memborize and that is where i noticed it first. Any other help would be appreciated.

I’ve experienced the same problem today…I’m on a MacBook Pro OSX 10.5.6 and the blue tint shows up when the file is larger than 1MB…

Here’s an interesting thing…I made the same slideshow on my home PC and no blue tint at all…but it did fail with a *too high bit-rate* error. That’s why I took it over to the mac.

Just adding in my experience.

I also have this problem with CS4 on a brand new iMac i7. It’s unfortunate that this question is not being taken seriously. It makes me think that people are trolling and criticizing instead of helping.
