photo insert for rendering

[Erikilrosso]

hello everyone,
this is a new problem that i don't know what it can depend on: i have to use photographs to import as image for renderings, now it happens to me that imported the photo as image below the 3d of the building that interests me, launch the render, revit develops it, save it or carry it and when i reopen it as jpg image or take it on a table, i discover that the colors of the photo and those assigned to the materials of the building are totally changed, e.g. the red materials become blue and the sky from blue becomes reddish and everything assumes a funeral connotation nothing at all pleasant. the renderings of the property, without image, maintain the design colors
i would like to avoid having to intervene on the balancing of the colors of the photo as i do not know where then i go to parare and what result i get.
has a similar fact already happened to someone? what if you've solved it?
thank you.

p.s. on the occasion i wish good holidays to all

following numerous tests, i verified that the transformation occurs when i try to paste any image on the project board. i've never done anything before.

 

[Erikilrosso]

I correct myself: previous works I had done them (the timer..!) with revit 2010

 

[Erikilrosso]

in part I managed to solve the problem:
- launch the render with how background the image I care about
- save the render in the browser in the render folder
- in this folder I click on the name of the render with the right mouse button, in the window that appears to me the "Save in the project as image" giving a new name and features that interest me.
at this point I can paste it on the table without the colors being modified.
but if when they are still at the saving level of render and carry the image in an external folder then open it in a photo editing program like photoshop or gimp, after processing it, (there is

I should copy it in the render folder of the browser and save it in the project with the procedure before, but I think it is not possible.
I have to deliver boards for a contest and the alternative is to insert black and white renders, miserable hypotheses.
Any idea?
Thank you.

 

[Erikilrosso]

I see no one, apparently, has found my own problem.
Hi.

 

[Erikilrosso]

p.s. I have also made pictorial representations with watercolor and tempera, of which I have scanned, but importing them as pictures and pasting them on the tables the colors are altered. work thrown away.
Hi.

 

[gfrank]

I found the problem too, but I don't know why...

 

[Erikilrosso]

I found the problem too, but I don't know why...

So the problem is unresolvable? or in the new versions of revit has been solved?

 

[gfrank]

I don't know: I stopped at v. 2015

 

[Erikilrosso]

I've been meaning since 2012, where I'm still last year. but I understand, however, that the problem also arises in the latter. but then, no one uses images to make made with other systems and then glued on the revit tables? I went looking in my old jobs and actually, I always did the revit and I never exported them to process them and then reglued, so I never noticed the problem.

 

[Monte Baldo]

I do not use revit. however... and if you insert the image as an ole object or as a referenced file, the result changes compared to the simple paste (which at this point seems to me to understand alter the image/ its format)? ? ?

 

[Erikilrosso]

I barely know ole, I never thought of using this technology and should go looking for it and learn how to use it.
My problem is only in changing the colors of the image that are distorted in the transmission from the photo editing program or from the photo gallery to the revit table.
Hi.

erik, can I get the picture you're using? I tried with a couple of jpeg downloaded from the internet and either dragging the file on the table, or connecting it with the appropriate function I see the colors well. i revit 2015 r2

 

[Tristan]

... and if you insert the image as an ole object

revit does not use ole technology ( fortunately!! is an obsolete pigeon based on com. revit travels on different tracks)

 

[Monte Baldo]

will also be obsolete... but is included in any product, see office (96 -> 2013 -> 365)... however no problem. My wish was just a suggestion to help the poor erik... I leave the ball to you that you are the expert

tristan I am sorry but for now I cannot because it is the material of a contest of ideas not yet rated. If they haven't thrown me out for some of my forgetfulness in the documentation, I'd hate to be out for publishing some old material. However I tried to import the image of my nephew's photograph and this was also glued to me on the table with fake colors.
I stayed at 2012.

p.s. how did I become a standard user?

Can you at least tell me what format it is? has alpha channels?

what procedure do you use to attach photos in the tables?

 

[Erikilrosso]

after several tests I managed to paste so the images:
- launch the render with how background the image I care about
- save the render in the browser in the render folder
- in this folder I click on the name of the render with the right mouse button, in the window that appears to me the "Save in the project as image" giving a new name and features that interest me.
at this point I can paste it on the table without the colors being modified.
but if when they are still at the saving level of rendering and carry the image in an external folder and then open it in a photo editing program like photoshop or gimp, after processing it, (there is always need to change something) return to revit and take back quasta image on the table, the colors return to be distorted.
I should copy it in the render folder of the browser and save it in the project with the procedure before, but I think it is not possible.images are normal jpg, which I use as a backdrop of renders. then the amount in gimp for retouching and re-exporting or in jpg or tiff, but normally are jpg.
with gimp I think you use the alpha channel, but I'm not sure because I never dwelled on the problem.
