CS4 - Is there a way to adjust gamma for second monitor or send to overlay?

One thing that is evident when I edit in Premiere CS4 using the AVCHD 1080i 60 template is that the preview in the second monitor, which in my case is my TV set connected using a DVI to HDMI cable, is that the output is too dark compared to what it should be. Darker areas of the frame sometimes even get crushed into black when the same footage, when played directly from the camcorder, or even burned to blu-ray and played, is noticeably brighter and at the right black levels.
This doesn't happen when editing in Vegas Pro 8, or when the untouched footage is played through other video player, including Windows 7 Media Center.
A workaround for this problem can be to go to the graphics card control panel, in my case ATI Catalyst, and adjust the gamma for the second monitor, with the problem being that when you're done editing in Premiere you have to go back to the normal gamma. At one point I had setup two profiles in Catalyst with shortcuts and it worked well, but one day Catalyst simply lost the profiles and noticing how buggy it was I wasn't going to keep creating profiles so that Catalyst would delete them.
So my question is, since it's not in the preferences, is there some settings file or registry address that I can tweak to make Premiere display a brighter gamma of my choice?
And this may be a dead end, but is there a way to send the output of the second monitor to the overlay so that it can take advantage of the graphic's card video capabilities and display video smoothly? It's nice to have a preview of the timeline, but it's rather annoying if I have to go to the Catalyst control panel and adjust gamma before editing and after editing and that motion is jerky and not interlaced when I'm editing interlaced content.

You need the VESA mount option. That way your minimum angle would be completely vertical and you could open it to a negative 10 degrees.
Hope this helps.

    __ Is there a way to adjust the key commands for switching channels in curves?
    By that I mean <command> + 1 for cyan, <command> + 2 for magenta etc. like Photoshop CS3 rather than <option> + 3 for cyan etc.
    There's gotta be a way under Edit --> Keyboard Shortcuts - but I can't find it!
    Thanks,

  • Is there a way to adjust the width of the pen tools path?

    In CS4 and 5, it's super skinny. I appreciate the finesse but I'll be damned if I cant see it sometimes.

  • Is there a way to adjust the settings on launchpad so that when I swipe into it all the open apps/pages are fully separated (like in exposé) so that I can fully view all of them simultaneously?

    Hi Apple community,
    This is my first go at this so be kind,
    My question concerns launchpad. Coming from Snow Leopard I had been using spaces. I like to keep certain bundles of programs on separate desktops, for example all word processing related tasks in one place. I have set up the equivalent on Yosemite.
    My problem is concerns the loss of exposé. Now I know when you swipe into launch pad you get a very similar effect but the issue I am having concerns the "zoom out" effect when you swipe into launchpad. With exposé all open apps/pages etc would be fully exposed - in my case several (sometimes as many as 9 word documents). What I am running into is when I do this in / into launch pad the "pile" of docs is exposed but they are still overlapping so I can't get a good look at which is which and visually identify where I want to navigate to.
    My question is this; Is there a way to adjust the settings on launchpad so that when I swipe into it all the open apps/pages are fully separated (like in exposé) so that I can fully view all of them simultaneously? If so, instructions on how to do so would be greatly appreciated. Any alternative suggestions to doing this outside of launchpad are also welcome. If there is an exposé app for example, I would be quite willing to go that route.
    My main concern is being able to quickly (ie a touchpad gesture) expand all the open pages so I can bounce between them.
    Much thanks from a loyal Apple friend.

    Hey Eric,
    Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
    Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated.

  • Is there a way to adjust ios7 to show just list of events, not hours?

    Is there a way to adjust the new IOS7 calendar DAY VIEW so you just see the list of events for  the day; so you don't have to scroll down all the hours of day? (want it back the old way!) Can it be adjusted?
    Its really annoying the current way; when you glance at your phone you don't see all the appointments for the day, have to scroll up and down, and I end up missing things and its time consuming. Same annoying thing in WEEKLY VIEW.  Is there a way to change that in preferences or something?
    If not, lets all write in feedback and ask them to change that back!!

    Open the link and the shipping number will be on the Safari page that opens.

        lisan1234,
    I am sorry to hear about the screen issues. To clarify, do you only notice the screen proportion difference when in a certain application? By to long or wide are you stating that parts of the screen images are cut off? Please provide details

  • Pictures in Facebook are too large and content is cut off, is there a way to adjust.

    While using my I pad 2 for Facebook the pictures of postings are huge and some of the content gets cut off. This doesn't happen on a laptop is there a way to adjust size of content so entire post can be seen.

  • Is there a way to adjust the level of several audio tracks at once?

    I am working in Adobe Premiere CS6 and all of the audio is out of wack. Is there a way to adjust all of it at the same time to the same level or do I have to go clip by clip?

    I had made Feature Requests to "gang" several Track sliders, like one can with a mixing board. However, the Sub-Mixes handles that nicely, as was pointed out to me by Adobe.
    Thank you for linking to that KB Article, as it was basically the answer that Adobe gave me, but I had never seen it explained so nicely.
    Appreciated,

  • Is there a way to adjust volume of ringtone BEFORE downloading it?

    I downloaded a ringtone last night to my iPhone. Everything went smoothly but find that the ringtone is way too low for me to hear when it rings... is there any way to adjust this before I download it? Let me just say that otherwise the volume on my iPhone is perfect - I have never had a problem with this just with this ringtone in particular. I have try to go to the info of this particular ringtone and i can see a volume adjustment under the heading Options but it is gray - anyway to make it active? Any info will be appreciated. thanks.

    Ditto, the ringtone I created is unusable, as it is too quiet. There does not seem to be an option to increase the volume. Even if I set the ringer volume all the way up I can bearly hear it. Admittedly it is a relatively quiet segment of the track I used, but surely the ringtone should auto adjust its volume?
    The preview on my MacBook sounded great, on the iphone with it sat in the dock, I barely even noticed it was playing.

  • Is there a way to adjust paths to a new stroke after tracing?

    Hi,
    I've used image trace to trace the outline of a street grid and expanded the trace into paths. However, after doing so, I realized I wanted the streets a bit thicker, so I increased the stroke value.
    Is there a way to adjust the old paths to match the new outline? I tried saving it as a .jpg and retracing but the quality was subpar. Any way to "redo" the trace in the original file, or somehow tell Illustrator to move the paths to match the increased stroke? I need them to coincide once more with the edges of the streets.
    Link to the file is here - https://www.dropbox.com/sh/sv7yyzwanap9ps5/vBGffyKv8Y
    Thanks very much for your help,
    Matthew

    mgreig,
    The was I (mis)understand it, you may go back to the original image and trace it anew with new settings
    You may obtain stroked paths rather than filled areas, if you look at the Trace options and tick Centerline Mode along with Stroke, not Outline and Fill.
    Once you have (access to) the paths you can change their stroke(s) to whichever Weight you wish.
    There is a very relevant screenshot and some more explanation about the Trace options in this thread:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1001689?tstart=0
    A few things you probably know:
    To get rid of the white in the image you can tick Ignore White; that is much easier than having to get rid of it later.
    In newer versions, you have to Expand the traced artwork in order to access it for further work, such as editing, changing Stroke Weight and colour, and whatever else.

  • Is there a way to adjust the sounds' volume withou...

    I have an annoying problem with my Skype:
    The volume of the other person is perfectly fine, but the volume of the sounds for calls is just too high. Like hurting my ears too high.
    Is there a way to adjust these sounds without changing the other person's volume?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Not as far as I know. I have self, for the same reason set the Volume of Skype to about 40% and I don't see any effect on the call volume. Only ringing and notification sounds are affected.

  • Is there a way to adjust the sensitivity of the LG Extravert phone keypad?

    having trouble with the keypad entering several of the same letters at the same time.  Is there a way to adjust the sensitivity?

        Hi Whitehouse,
    When the physical keys are entering a letter twice, it will definitely be something with the hardware. Can you verify that the keys appearing twice aren't getting stuck when pressed? You should be able to feel the key returning when the pressure of the finger comes off. If they're getting stuck, please check the charging port and headset jack for corrosion and any other damage to the phone. If the phone is under warranty it may require a replacement. Please keep us posted.
    Thank you,

  • Is there a way to adjust the font size in the digital signature?

    The attributes, of Name, Date, Location, Reason, Distinguished Name, etc. Is there a way to adjust the size of the font and the display?
    Thank you.
    Chunkee

    Hi Chunkee,
    I know it's not what you want to hear, but the answer is no. You can change the font, but not the font size because Acrobat will try to fill the signature field using dynamic sizing. I've found that id the default Helvetica is too big you can experiment with different fonts as they have different proportions and will come out different sizes.
