Re: [Avid-L2] Jpeg imports look correct but linking to Jpeg is washed out off level?

 

Avid has made some significant improvements in linking.  For correctly sized still graphics, the old fashioned import wins hands down.  Linking then fiddling with source settings then transcoding is pretty clumsy.  JB

I've seen this before but I'm finally on Avid versions that have the source browser.  I'm on mac pro 10.9.5 OS Avid 8.6.4 and when I link to a jpeg I've exported from Avid the levels are washed out and low in gain.  There is no indication of source settings applying any scaling.  To eliminate Avid's jpeg export I took my smpte 219 color bars tiff and it links at perfect level.  I then opened the bars tiff in photoshop and resaved as a jpeg.  It defaulted to embedding a color profile and that seemed unchangeable.  After saving the bars tiff as a jpeg when I link to the bars jpeg the levels are again washed out and low in gain.

If I do a traditional import the levels come out correct so what is up with linking to a jpeg in Avid.  Is this a Mac thing?  I do not have Perian installed so I don't think that's a factor.  I've seen this behavior before when there was no source browser so I think it's the same bug.  I'm going to google but if anybody has sorted this out please share with the group.
