White or black?

I currently have a powerbook and I am going to get a Macbook. I can't decide which color to get. Which is easier to keep clean? Thank you!!

i was debating this, too, over the last 2 weeks....i wanted black because it looks sleek (and i'm use to having black since I've been using an IBM Thinkpad for 5 years) but then I've read complaints about oily fingerprints stains that are hard to clean. granted, i also read complaints that the white gets dingy easy since you can see it on a white background.
i took into account that if i upgraded the white 2.4 ghz to a 250gb hard drive, it would be exactly the same specs as the black, but still cheaper by about $100.....and I figure oily fingerprints are harder to keep clean than the digny white, so i opted for the white one.
i dunno if that helps you to make a decision or not.
HTH though.

    How can I change the background of a running webpage on my own. Example Facebook I want to change its background color from white to black just in my view, not for all. Cause I really hate some site with white background because as I read for an hour it aches my eyes but not on those with darker background color.

  • HT1349 The iPhone 4S setting (white on black) it is so cool! But one thing that I don't know if Apple is aware of this glitch or not, but they need to fix it, when you go to that mode every picture and every icon go to negative view, has anyone experience

    One very COOL feature on iPhone 4S that I just discovered, is the (White on Black) display mode, which is so cool and atrictive. When you go to that mode, every picture on the iPhone, facebook, icons and every other applications that displays a picture are effected, native or installed Apps. that displays a picture goes in to negative view, if you want to view your pictures, you have to go back to the default setting, very disappointing.
    This is a very cool feature and Apple needs to find a way that all photos are immune and preserved from the conversion when a user switches to that mode.
    Love to hear your comments and suggestions and I'm sure that Apple developers can come up with a solution to fix the glitch.

  • Why doesn't the 3-way CC do anything when I click on "white" or "black"??

    Hey y'all! I'm new here from FCP7. I don't know if this is normal or if I'm missing something but I definitely can't seem to be able to figure it out and it's driving me crazy!
    I have noticed that the 3way color corrector doesn't do much when I click on an area that's supposed to be "white" or "black". So I thought I'd do some testing. In photoshop I created a 3-color image (black, white, & 50% grey) and then applied a blue tint to it. Then imported the tinted image in both Premiere and FCP7.
    Here's the result in PrPro:
    Here's the result in FCP7:
    This is what I do:
    - i apply the 3-way color corrector in PrPro
    - i click on the little "highlights" eye dropper
    - click on the white portion of the image
    The result? Nothing.
    I do the same for the midtones and the shadows. And I end up with what you see in the first image on the left.
    When I do exactly the same in FCP7 you can see it gets rid of the blue tint and I end up with an image that is exactly what white/black/midtones should look...
    WHAT AM I MISSING IN PREMIERE PRO???

    Now we're starting to get somewhere!
    Robmbrown, I love the color tests you just did. I will make sure to change those values in my preset as well.
    Neil, I have not worked with SpeedGrade yet so I can't comment on that. However, I do know that if I use Sg then every time I want to make any adjustments to my image I will have to go through Sg again. That's one more app I have to use, one more step I have to do, one more project to manage, and after all that - I still have no control of the image once I'm back inside my editing application and every time I want to make a quick change to it I have to go through the process again. And when you have to do that a bunch of times every day while working with tight deadlines where every minute counts and you have your clients sitting next to you waiting then that workflow is just not an option for you. You need a quick/powerful/working 3 way color correction tool inside your editing application and you need it right then and there. Anything less than that is just not worth it. Currently, Premiere does not have that.
    Kevin, please don't get me wrong. There are many features in Premiere Pro that I absolutely LOVE! The rate stretch tool is so much fun and such a time-saver! The ability to customize so many things and, as we just saw, create my own 3 way color corrector is amazing. However, I would trade all these amazing tools and features any day for an application that can give me the basic tools I need to edit my projects quickly yet professionally. This week I had to uninstall and re-install all the CC apps because Sg wasn't working and Premiere was freezing whenever I tried to scale a clip up or move it. After I did that, Premiere is still acting up but now Media Encoder also doesn't work. Next time, it's going to be After Effects... I don't want to have to rely on 5 different apps to be able to edit my projects, especially if they're so unreliable. I don't know how it was before so I don't know what progress Adobe has made on the development of all these apps. I made the switch to PP CC two months ago. I spent one month learning the software and customizing all the keyboard shortcuts and learning about all the cool features in it. I wanted to make sure that before I started complaining about anything that doesn't work it wasn't my fault for not knowing how to use the software. And if I didn't, then I would come here to learn from the pros about how it's done. But my mentality as an editor is to always find ways to do what I'm doing faster without compromising the quality of my projects. I think that's how most young editors think. For me, it either works or it doesn't. "It works BUT..." = Doesn't work. As Rob said, all these little things send the message that Adobe isn't taking this seriously. Now that I've seen both the good and the bad about Premiere it is obvious to me that this app was designed for "quick and dirty" kind of work. And if you want to get "professional" you have to use a bunch of other apps along with it which never work so you're pretty much stuck no matter what. Yes, I know that there are LOTS of people on here who have no problems with the apps working. But there are also JUST AS MANY people who are posting every day about something not working in some app. You're only as strong as your weakest link and, unfortunately for Adobe, it has way too many weak leaks in its chain and the strong ones just can't make up for them...
    Anyway, this discussion has gone from a simple question about a filter into the whole philosophy of Adobe and the truth is we can keep talking about that stuff for days. So if you'll excuse me, I now need to go learn AVID. Hopefully, I have a different experience there. Good luck everyone and thanks for your help!!

  • I bought a macbook pro retina ME665 in Dubai, and 3 month later its display stopped working properly.some white lines appeared on it and display itself became white and black. Can anybody suggest what should I do to fix this problem?

    In October 2013 I was on Vacationin Dubai and bought there Macbook pro retina ME665. I returned to Kyrgystan (home town) and for New Year I was away for a week. When I came back i found that the dispaly of my laptop became white and black, some lines appeared on it. Everybody in my family told me that no one has dropped my laptop or done anything that can cause this problem. there is no any service provider of apple in my country.

  • White and black vertical lines

    I Have the iPhone 5. It has been in a case since the day I bought it. It is 2 months out of warranty and I got white and black vertical lines while I was laying in bed. My friend tried checking my screen and replaced it with a working screen and it did the same thing so it wasn't the screen. Took my phone to Apple they said it's the screen and I have to pay $130 to fix it even with it out of warranty..... Lady standing next to me had the same problem they plugged it in fixed it and she was on her way with it. What is wrong with my phone? What should I do?

  • I have upgraded from 10.5 to 10.6 and found that all folders/files/pics have pixelated (either white or black) patterns on them. But it turns out fine when i open up the affected files/folders/pics. And this phenomenon persists after updating software.

    I have upgraded from 10.5 to 10.6 and found that all folders/files/pics in my disk drive have 'dotted' (either white or black) patterns on them. But it turns out fine when I open up the affected files/folders/pics. And this phenomenon persisted even after updating to the latest software. I proceeded to upgrade to 10.8 and updated the latest software thinking that this might resolve the problem but still stays the same way as it was. Could it be the Adobe flash player that is causing this problem? Please help.

  • Iphone 6 plus screen flashing white and black

    My iPhone 6 Plus 16Gb suddenly started to show screen artifacs, like flashing with white and black, so I can't see the springboard only black and white screen. Restart of the phone didn't help. Even when the phone is booting, Apple logo doesn't appear and then again flashes. As it seems on background everything is working, as I can receive sms and phone calls. It is just the screen. iPhobe 6 Plus is brand new, I've been using it for 1 week and it never dropped. No physical damage, no nothing, just flashing

    Have you tried a Reset by holding down the Sleep / Wake Button and the Home Button at the same time until the white Apple logo appears, then let go of the buttons, but wait until the Reset completes and you are back at your lock-screen?  If this doesn't work then do you have a computer with the current version of iTunes?  If yes and you already have a Backup of your Media and Data on iCloud or iTunes, then you can put the iPhone in DFU Mode.  Don't do this unless you have a Backup and also have a computer with the latest iTunes.  You will need your Apple ID and Password.  To go to DFU Mode you can hold the Home button while you plug the Lightning Cable into the iPhone, a graphic will appear on the iPhone screen showing that you need to connect to iTunes.  At that point just connect the iPhone via the Lightning Cable with USB into your Computer.  Open the iTunes App on the Computer and wait until a button appears representing the connected iPhone.  Then click on the iPhone button on the iTunes screen and it should open to the Summary page.  At that point you can Restore the iPhone to Factory Settings and bring it up as A New Phone.  The iPhone should screen should then show Hello and you will need to connect to your WiFi via your Router WiFi Password and then answer all the question put forth by the iPhone.  When the "Lets Get Started" occurs you can thoroughly check out the iPhone to make sure it is all OK.  When satisfied that things are good, you can plug into the computer and iTunes and this time Restore from Backup.  or if you Backup is in iCloud you can Restore over the air. 

  • How do you change the text color in io7 from white to black?

    How do you change the text color on the home page in iO7 from white to black?  I tried to invert the color but that reverses everything inclufing pictures.

    Yes, you can. If you change your wallpaper to a very light or white color the text turns black.

  • White and black point vs ??

    I never know which forum to post these things, so I'll start with the photographers.
    <br />
    <br />These three shots are as follows: (1) the camera raw version, (2) where I moved the sliders from the ends to approximately the beginning/end of the major portion of the histogram, and (3) using the threshold control to find the white and black points in the main part of the picture.
    <br />
    <br />Then, in the two adjusted versions, I lightened the image with the curves control.
    <br />
    <br />In both these cases, I used the grey dropper to touch the same spot on one of the rocks, to get the apparent neutral point.
    <br />
    <br />It seems to me that the threshold method to find the white and black points is preferred, based on the overall color and appearance of the finished adjustment.
    <br />
    <br />But, I've found on some images where the histogram has missing black and missing white, if I adjust the sliders to these two ends, I get pretty much the same outcome, as far as the contrast, color, and grey point.
    <br />
    <br />Could I have some advice on the preferred method to use in handling my image adjustments? Doing it the threshold method takes more time, and sometimes it's difficult to find the white and black points, or even the grey point.
    <br />
    <br />Thanks.

    Yes the image was purposely underexposed. What I was trying to accomplish was to speed up the shutter speed to remove the slight blurring and compensate by pulling data from the shadows. Even though the lens has an image stabilizer the amount of light wasn't enough for a proper sharp shot.
    this image is before touch up
    These two images are F/5.6, 1/20, ISO 800
    After touch up
    Better lit scene but shows slight motion blur
    This last image is F/5.6, 1/4, ISO 800
    I believe that I will have to wait next year and hope I have a faster lens by then. I just don't think the 28mm-135mm f/3.5-5.6 lens is fast enough. I was trying this without a tripod to get in tighter.
    Also I was taking these shots without the flash to get the drama of the tree lights.
    What I would have prefer is a shutter speed of 1/125 or better as it helps with my hands shaking I believe the slowest should be 1/60
    And the lower the ISO the better for noise.
    These preferences are what I am used to with my Canon G3 that does not have IS.
    I am getting so off track here, lol. But anyways, here are the pictures.

  • PDF files scanned at B & W print to an HP 2055dn Postscript printer as white on black

    PDF files scanned at B & W print to an HP 2055dn Postscript printer as white on black. Non postscript printers print the same file correctly. This is the case with three different scanners. Scanning the same sheets into greyscale prints fine with all printers.
    HP claims it is not a problem with their printers. Someone from Fujitsu (makers of Scansnap) said to "
    Verify that Advance Emit Transfer (print correction function for the Mac print table) is unchecked. Go to Print > Advanced Emit Transfer Function and click to uncheck. " but I can't seem to find anything like that at all.
    I really prefer to scan in B & W, as I have to scan several hundred pages and the resulting file is both smaller and higher quality than the grayscale files, but I can't print them at home; I have to use the printer at work and that really isn't appropriate.

    Hi,
    Can you try some experiments please - or tell us if you have tried them.
    1) Load a new image (one that hasn't been saved before) into the editor and without saving it, try printing from the editor. It is important that PSE hasn't saved it.
    2) Load any image into the editor and do a Save for Web (you may have to reduce the size) in JPG format and see if you can print that JPG either from PSE or another program.
    Please let us know the results.

  • IPhone 5 Battery stays at the same percentage, phone fades shows white and black lines then dies. Now phone screen is shaking and does the same thing.

    My iPhone 5 which has been working fine has only today started to get these problems. The phones battery percentage stays at the same number and only changes if i swith it off or when it does it byitself but then stays at that number. When I use it it constantly turns off by slowly fading then showing white and black lines then going off. The screen is now shaking and keeps turning off. It was on IOS 6 which I just updated as I thought this could be the issue but it still does the same thing on IOS 7. Has anyone else experienced these problems or know what is wrong with my iPhone?
    Please reply!

    Sounds like the device is failing. Since you updated to iOS 7, that would do the same as a restore. I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar at Apple to have the device checked.

  • Accessibility feature not working - using white on black contrasting colors

    There is an accessibility feature that allows a pdf file to be viewed in other than the default black on white background. The choices are white or yellow or green text on a black background. This last worked for me with reader v7 ... neither version 8 or the newest version 9.3.0 works correctly ... when white on black is selected the file is still displayed in the default black on white format. Does anyone know if there is an Adobe product manager who would be able to confirm this problem ... or perhaps  have a workaround for it?
    thanks ... Don

    Loreall,
    The replace colors feature in Reader only changes the color of the primary page background, so if the author added a background to the document (even if the added background is white) then this might cause the issue you describe.  One thing that may help is if you enable reflow mode, as this forces extra backgrounds to disappear.  You can try this by locating the option in the view menu or by hitting Ctrl+4.

  • Type Messages and Objects turned from white to black in PDF

    When I exported my Keynote presentation to a PDF the Type Messages and Objects turned from white to black. The display in ”Preview” is ok but in Acrobat PDF Viewer it looks black instead of white. Only happens on some slides. I could not find a reason why this happened. Seemed kind of random to me when it happened. But the error was reproducable unless I rebuild it with new silides.

    Can you get the exact wording for that error? Is it can't mount iPod?
    Also, make sure iTunes is up to date...

    Finally, make sure your iPod's battery is charged up.

  • How can i convert a picture to white on black mode and save the picture in that mode?

  • Swaping between white-on-black and black-on-white

    I really like using the white-on-black setting in Universal Access, however if I want to watch a video or see a picture normally I have to switch back to black-on-white. Is there a way where I could quickly switch back and forth between the two settings without having to reopen system preferences and select which setting I want? I've seen that you can create scripts or use terminal to switch system preference settings, but I don't have very much experience with either of these.
    It would be great if someone could hep me out with this. Thanks.

    I have a situation where the PowerBook display and the 17" external Studio Display are inversely correlated.
    (eg. one is black on white and the other is white on black).   Using the Universal Access keyboard shortcut of control/option/command/8 just toggles them back n forth switching the settings between displays.   
    How do I change just ONE of the displays so that they both have the same settings???
    I've tried all permeations of UA settings, disconnect external display, detect displays with display disconnected, re-boot again, and no avail.
