Colors displaying as dull yellowy-green; new monitor and calibration

Just got a new ASUS LCD monitor, and calibrated it with the Spyder 3 Express. 
Now when I import a .CR2 file using Lightroom 3 to edit the RAW image, the color is displayed as yellowy-gray and dull.  It looks the same when I pull it into Elements 7, unless I remove all color management (which, if I save the image, actually then renders the image colors neon and oversaturated with lots of pink and red tones).  If I export the image from Lightroom 3 the image colors are correct and very different from how they look in Lightroom.
I also use the ACR editor with Elements 7 and I am having the same problem there.  Upon opening an edited Jpeg or a .CR2 RAW file there, the color is displayed as dull, grayish yellowy-green. 
If I view the very same image in GIMP, Picasa or on the web, as long as the colorspace is intact (sRGB), the color is accurate.  Not so in Elements or Lightroom.
If you have experience with this problem is it the monitor, the calibration, or Elements and Lightroom?  I am beyond frustrated and need to see my colors properly.  I have not had this problem before.
Thanks for your time.

I suggest re-reading C S S Simon's and my reply, including the links I provided with solutions and historical explanation – It is apparent you didn't!
Pay your money and make your display choice, but don't blame the wide gamut capable display because you are unwilling to learn how to use the technology advantages it provides!
Please read this factoid:
All Wide Gamut Displays when properly setup to display in a "wide gamut" mode such as Adobe RGB will only display images correctly in color managed applications – PERIOD.
Your Asus display has two factory calibrated modes, Adobe RGB and sRGB, which will only work properly using the color profile provide to you on CD (or downloaded) by Asus – This the monitor profile Asus used when hardware calibrating your specific serial number monitor at the factory. The displays internal LUT contains that calibration information, and there is no way for you to recalibrate it using a Spyder 3 or other hardware calibrator. I am going to paste here three separate solution alternatives I made at the other post – Use only one (1):
Solution 1) Delete your i1 Display custom profile and install the Asus provided PA246Q driver and profile. Then use the monitor's "factory calibrated" Adobe RGB wide Gamut selector mode with Lightroom and other color-managed applications. When using non-color managed applications, switch your monitor’s mode selector to sRGB. Calibration using i1 Display or other hardware device cannot be used with this option. User hardware calibration should only be performed using the monitor's 'User Mode.'
Solution 2) In addition to your Asus PA246Q wide gamut monitor, install a second standard gamut sRGB monitor. Calibrate both monitors separately using your i1 Display unit, which will create separate profiles for each monitor. Use your Asus PA246Q wide gamut monitor only with Lightroom and other color managed applications. Use your second sRGB monitor for with both non-color or color managed applications. You may still have issues properly calibrating your Asus PA246Q monitor with its proper 'User Mode' selection as others have reported, but the results should be better than what you have now.

Solution 3) If none of the above works for you, get rid of the Asus PA246Q and buy a good standard "non-wide gamut sRGB display.

  • Assistance needed with new monitor and printing from LR3

    I just purchased a new IPS monitor.  I have calibrated it using the HP Display assistant that came with it.  It is an HP ZR 22w.  I saved my calibration as a preset  - however - this is not appearing as a profile when I try to select it in the print module.  the checkbox for "include display profiles" is ticked.  If I allow the printer to manage - the pictures are much warmer than on the IPS display.  My printer is a canon mg6120 and I am running windows 7.  I would appreciate any assistance that anyone can provide.  Thank you

    I think the "HP Display assistant" is a software tool, is that right? 
    Ideally with Lightroom, you should use a hardware calibration/profiling tool (Spyder, Eye One, Color Munki etc).  In particular, you need a monitor profile that contains colour space information.  I had a look through the HP Display Assistant user manual, and it appears the software does calibration but it probably doesn't put colour space info in the profile.  It'll be better than nothing, but a hardware tool is better. 
    However:
    I saved my calibration as a preset  - however - this is not appearing as a profile when I try to select it in the print module.  the checkbox for "include display profiles" is ticked.  If I allow the printer to manage - the pictures are much warmer than on the IPS display.  My printer is a canon mg6120 and I am running windows 7
    This is not what you want to do!  The profile that the HP Display Assistant creates is for the monitor, and only for the monitor.  It gets the right white point and tone curve for the monitor.  What you need in the profile drop-down in LR print module is a printer profile, not a monitor profile (except on very special circumstances). 
    I'm not familiar with the MG6120, but when I googled "profiles for canon mg6120" I got a lot of hits, so I assume profiles are available.  It's quite likely that some came with the printer driver, and were installed with the printer software.  When you select "profile" in LR print module (you may well have to go to "Other..." to see them all) then there should be profiles for the printer - possible lots of them - one or more for each paper type.  If they're not there, see the Canon documentation (or google it) to find out how to load them.   
    If you can't find any profiles for the printer, then try using sRGB (or probably it's "sRGB IEC...").  Without colour management, your printer will probably expect sRGB images, so this should be roughly right, but a specific profile for the printer is better.  This is one of those very special circumstances when something other than a printer profile (and sRGB isn't a printer profile) may be better than nothing.

  • New monitor and now PSE7 is all messed up! screen shot

    I purchased a new Dell 2209wa monitor. Finally got the colors looking right. Looked at some of the pros pictures, and color looks great. My pictures look fine on my blog(look the same as my prints), and I have an ancient Microsoft Digital Image editing program that the pictures look fine in too. But in PSE7 they look horrible! Way green and yellow. They didn't look like this before.
     

    In step 5 of the instructions referenced by the tech note:
    a. What is the name of the display device shown?
    b. What are the profiles that are listed for that device?
    c. What happens when you select one of the profiles and cick Remove?  If there's an error, what is the precise message?
    A screen shot of what you see would be great.

    , and then type Color Management in the Start Search box.
    Click Color Management under Programs.
    In the Color Management dialog box, click the Devices tab, and then click the display that is experiencing the problem. For example, click Display: Generic PnP Monitor.
    Make sure that the Use my settings for this device check box is selected.
    In the Profiles Associated with this Device list, remove all the profiles that are listed in the box. To remove a profile, select the profile, and then click Remove. When this process is complete, the box will be empty and all the defective profiles will have been removed.
    Click Close.
    Note The default display profile association is now removed. The Windows Live Photo Gallery’s Viewer application will no longer use the defective profile and will now assume a display profile of sRGB when photos are displayed.

  • Got a new monitor and web sites won't fill it up without zooming in, there are blank collumns on both sides of the screen.

    I got a new monitor recently and the websites won't fill up the screen. There are columns without any images or text on both sides of the screen with the webpage centered. It's not a problem with the computer because offline things look just fine. I can zoom in to where it fits, but really don't want to have to do that every time I go to a new site. Thanks

    You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.

  • Connected new monitor and now outlook 2010 wont work properly

    Hello, we just connected an new 2013 Asus monitor for my computer that's running Windows XP. Since doing so we cannot use OUTLOOK 2010. Everything else seems to work. Can anyone tell why its not working properly? We have a SSD drive running XP with an
    external 2 tera bite hard drive where most programs and files reside. THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE US.

    Hi,
    Would you please detail the symptom of this issue? Is the issue that you click on the Outlook icon but it doesn't start, or there's an error message, or it crashes?
    Since this happens after connecting to a new monitor, I recommend you upgrade the graphics card driver to the latest to check the result. In addition, official drivers are more recommended.

  • Have new monitor and dont now how to open program

    my mom bought me a new 22" ProView flat screen lcd monitor . it came with a cd to download ... i have no idea how to open and run any of it??? of course i no how to on the heweitt but not on the apple... if any one can help walk me thru this ...it would be awsome...there is no info anywhere in or on the box that said it was apple compatable

    It is unlikely that you need to install any software from the CD that came with your new monitor. Just plug it into your Mac (with the Mac turned off) and it should be detected and work automatically.

  • New monitor and old monitor on mac mini

    Hi
    I have a mac mini with a thunderbolt port and a new 27 inch led cinema display, i have an old moniter which is 20 inch and i believe has a DVI connection.
    Is there a way i can use this as a second monitor?
    Many Thanks

    You can utilise the second monitor by purchasing a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter, placing the adapter in the mini display port and then connecting a DVI cable from the adapter to the monitor.

  • Video color warmer in FCP than on broadcast monitor and Quicktime

    Hi there!
    We shoot interviews yesterday which looks fine on our calibrated video monitor (as well as when we looked at them in Quicktime) but when we import then in Final Cut Pro (v. 6.0.2) they turned too red, like if the guy got strong sunburns. And when I exported a clip from FCP and reopened it in Quicktime, it kept that strong red look. It looks like FCP is changing the colors by itself.
    Is there something wrong with our FCP settings?
    Thanks for your help.

    It looks like FCP is changing the colors by itself.< </div>
    You have told us nothing that can help us diagnose this for you. The codec and capturing format would be helpful, don't you think?
    You must use scopes to evaluate video objectively. All monitors are subjective depending on the test signal and competency with which it was set up.

  • Looking for feedback for new monitoring and notification tool

    Hi we just released our cross platform Cluster and Systems Management tool for OS X. It runs natively and can generate reports and send notifications on many different services and system data.
    Please check it out. It should make any sysadmins life a lot easier: http://www.bixdata.com/

    Hi Dore,
    According to your description, I understand that you want to set Integrated Windows authentication(IWA) for internal client access, Forms-based authentication(FBA) for external client.
    If I misunderstand your concern, please do not hesitate to let me know.
    As you mentioned, we can create another virtual directory and configure different authentication with different website. More details about

    Microsoft recommends creating the second OWA/ECP virtual directories in a new IIS web site with a different IP address, and using it for internal client access. By default the new virtual directories will be FBA-enabled, and have no internal or external

  • Just got a new monitor, and Firefox says I need to upgrade my graphics card?

    When I open Firefox, my screen goes black, then when it comes up, it has a canvas texture. I can't see the pictures clearly, even my desktop looks like a painter's canvas (texture). The troubleshooter said I needed to upgrade my graphics card, however Windows XP wouldn't let me upgrade the card.

  • New sensor and calibration

    I have had to get a new sensor. I'm confused on where the calibration info is stored. Will I now have to re-calibrate with the new sensor or is that info stored on the nano from my old sensor? I'm using the same receiver that I had.

    Ok - after a ton of web searching I've now figured out how to fix the multiple sensor problem - add a missed run - and correct bad data.
    Unfortunately I run my itunes on a vista computer - this means that before you delve into the file structure of the ipod you have to discover and run through vista's cryptic new procedure for showing hidden files. Once this is done the only way that seems to work for seeing the new sensor is to delete the old sensor. Using the copy and past you can move these to the folders under the new sensor.
    So much for the idea of having both a nano sensor and the wristband sensor unless you can get them to work with the same sensor - which I haven't succeeded with yet.
    Any ideas on what to do with the fact that the best bluetooth headphones and earbuds either use the sensor jack on the ipod or the nike+ sensor and bluetooth 3.5mm jack won't fit in the same nano at the same time? I have the logitech and jay bird models and both require adaptors to work with t nano.
    I guess the solution will be an ipod that recognizes bluetooth on it's own but then we'll have the headache of figuring out how to get the technologies to work together - it would be nice if this stuff would just work without having to become computer programmers.

  • New monitor/calibration; now colors won't display correctly in ACR and Elements

    Just got a new ASUS LCD monitor, and calibrated it with the Spyder 3 Express. 
    Now when I open a .CR2 file using Elements to edit the RAW image, the color is displayed as yellowy-gray and dull.  It looks the same when I pull it into Elements 7, unless I remove all color management (which, if I save the image, actually then renders the image colors neon and oversaturated with lots of pink and red tones).
    I also use Lightroom 3 and I am having the same problem there.  Upon import of either an edited Jpeg or a .CR2 RAW file, the color in Lightroom is displayed as dull, grayish yellowy-green. 
    If I export and view the very same image in GIMP, Picasa or on the web, as long as the colorspace is intact (sRGB), the color is accurate.  Not so in Elements or Lightroom.
    If you have experience with this problem is it the monitor, the calibration, or Elements and Lightroom.  I am beyond frustrated and need to see my colors properly.  I have not had this problem before.

    I don't use Spyder to calibrate my monitor; instead, I use the software and tool that X-Rite makes and it came with my NEC wide-gamut monitor. I suspect that the tools are similar.
    First, make certain that you're using your Spyder spectrometer and the accompanying software correctly. Although I consider myself relatively computer saavy, I find that I have to follow the instructions carefully.
    Then, calibrate your monitor so that the colors and brightness the monitor displays are correct for your printer setup. In my case, the tool uses ICC color standards to set the colors. And, I tell it I want the monitor's brightness to be 90 candelas per square meter (cd/m2), which is about the same brightness as a blank white piece of photo paper. With the monitor brightness set at 90 cd/m2, I avoid getting prints that are too dark. If you calibrate the monitor correctly, the colors should look good and you should have a white that looks white and a black that looks black - that is, you shouldn't have any colors that don't look right.
    Second, when you use Elements (PSE) or Lightroom (LR) to print, be sure to indicate that you want PSE or LR to control the colors and not the printer. It's very important, too, that you have the correct printer-paper profiles downloaded into the printer driver and that you select the correct paper profile. I have an Epson 3880 printer and I use Epson papers (mostly); so, I tell PSE to use the profile that fits the paper I'm using - for example, Epson Premium Glossy. When I downloaded the printer driver into my computer, it also downloaded the Epson paper-printer profiles and they appear in the print dialog boxes used during the printing process. (Other paper manufacturers, such as Ilford, make profiles available for downloading on their website.)
    I hope this helps; if it doesn't let's go into some more.

  • New Monitor Woes

    Hey all
    So we lost power this weekend and I had to haul my editing rig (a 1,1 Mac Pro, ATI 5770... yeah, it's a little long in the tooth but dang thing keeps on working!) out to a friends house so I could keep working. I figured it would be easier to just buy a new monitor (and I've been planning on doing that for awhile) than disassemble my old monitors and haul them.
    So I found this guy on sale at Best Buy: Samsung - C750 Series 27" LED HD Monitor (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Samsung---C750-Series-27%26%2334%3B-LED-HD-Monitor/8 585136.p?id=1218879338068&skuId=8585136)
    Basic details are thus:
    3000:1 contrast ratio
    300 cd/m² brightness
    Displays up to 16.7 million colors
    1920 x 1080 resolution
    Digital (2 HDMI) and standard analog VGA inputs
    And I plugged it into my ATI Radeon HD 5770 using a DVI to HDMI cable and I mean, the thing is just stunning to behold. Bright and beautiful.
    So here's why I'm here posting: It's at it's highest setting (full 1080) and I'm noticing that while most stuff looks really great text is not very smooth. I've exhaustively gone through the settings to see if I'm missing something but now that I'm back on my Macbook Pro here at work I can really see the difference (and it's not a Retina screen). I can take some screen shot comparisons when I get home. Granted this is how it was on my older monitors but I figured it was because they were several years old and had a lower resolution. Is it a graphics card thing? Can the ATI not render text as well as the NVIDIA in my  2009 MacBook Pro? I'm running Lion FWIW.
    So am I missing something here? Anyone have any ideas? I have 15 days to take this thing back and while I could live with the less than perfect text I figure if I'm going to plunk down several hundred bucks for this I should make sure this is the best I can do. Anyone with ideas or thoughts, I'd love to hear them. Thanks!

    27" and you need dual link on DVI side or the MDP but realize that a true 27" is much higher resolution than your LCD HDMT "Monitor" Display was.I find the 23-24" inch is fine on HP but larger and I have to move my head and look around just that much more.
