Not sure if anyone has had this problem but,

Have inserted a JPG onto a sheet and am getting a strange colour showing, not sure what I can do about it

I have added the before and after photos to show what is happening

If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be much appreciated

Regards

Cam

What Revit?

After installing 2014, our 2012 files are showing problems like this.  Even the Revit callouts have changed colors in 2012.  We think it is a dll change. 

 

You should contact autodesk.

We've run into this in AutoCAD... it turned out the image was saved with a CYMK custom Profile instead of a standard sRGB.  when used, AutoCAD rendered it with the wrong color profile resulting in odd colors.

 

I can’t be sure that's what the problem is here since when you upload the file, the server processes it and usually will recreate the profile.  However the image did insert for me without issue (using both revit 2014 and 2015).  I did track down an old image with a custom color profile from our folder, and I was able to make this happen by using it.  Left: Revit inserted image.  Right: image pulled up in photoviewer.

 

But if you have Photoshop you should be able to open the file and check to see what color profile its using, then convert it to a sRGB if it's different.  Open the file in photoshop, then go to Edit > Convert to profile.  What does it say?  The “Source Space” should be a  sRGB.  If it’s something else, this might be the problem.  Change the Destination to an sRGB profile and save it out to a new file (different location) then insert it into revit again and see what happens.

 

I hope that helps.

I've ran into similar problems before. Check your hardware acceleration settings (under R->Options->[etc]). I forget if it has to be on or off. That seemed to resolve these issues.
