Hello, i installed today Windows 7 on my iMac 27. And i installed, the new Windows 7 Bootcamp 3.1 Update. But after the update, my grpahic looks like 16 bit. I have a piture link to see what i mean:

Same here. Just set up a new system, Boot Camp 3.0 was fine, but after update to 3.1 wallpaper is 16bit while everything else seems to be 32bit.

K7n2g lost 32 bit colour after installing new nvidas drivers

can any one help i've lost 32 bit colours since i updated my nivida drivers, i done full uninstall with a washer b4 hand, and then i put the latest driver's on

yep tried desktop there no 32bit choice, as for memory i got 256 single sided in slot one and a double 256 in slot 2, i cant stick any thing in slot three as if i try i cant boot, what if i try swaping them around?

Running Bootcamp update 3.3- nothing happens

I ran bootcamp update 3.3 and nothing happens. Originally all I was trying to do was install windows XP service pack 3 (I installed windows XP) because my school network requires it, however, it would not complete because of lack of disk space. I looked up on google how to fix this, and it told me I needed to update, so I did, and it downloaded, I clicked on it, it asked to run or not, I ran it, and absolutely nothing happened. I don't know if I'm going about this wrong or how updating even works, but it certainly isn't through apple software update, and it doesn't seem to be direct, but maybesomething's wrong. Also skype said to uninstall something boot camp changed and I'm a bit worried about that.
MMORPGS are able to be played on bootcamp, right? I mean that's my main goal, m yschool network has a guest network that blocks all games so I need to get on it to play anything.

As you can see here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1443 the 3.3 Update is a WIndows 7-only update.
There's nothing in it for Windows XP and therefor does not install.
3.2 Update is the latest for XP http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1333
As for the error message I suspect it can be cured with this http://www.windowsreference.com/general/error-there-is-not-enough-disk-space-whe n-installing-sp3/
And yes, MMORPGs can be played on a Mac with BootCamp Windows.

Can no longer properly print to colour laser printer after latest update

Hi,
I've just updated my iLife '08/Leopard software using software update. It would appear that I can no longer print greeting cards etc. from iPhoto to my colour laser printer since this update. All photos are printed in a very pale yellow colour that is hardly visible.
I've tried a couple of things to diagnose the problem:
1. Saved the file as a PS and printed it from a different machine running Tiger. Same result as before: Pale yellow.
2. Viewed the PS file using Preview on the Tiger and Leopard machines. The colours were normal.
3. Saved just the image (i.e., no greeting card pattern) to desktop and printed it from my Leopard machine. The picture printed out perfectly on the colour laser printer.
4. Printed the greeting card to an inkjet. That seems to work, too.
5. Just in case there was a problem with the new greeting card, I tried to print an old card that perfectly printed before. It, too, came out in a pale yellow.
So there appears to be some problem printing from the latest version of iPhoto to my colour laser printer. I did update the printer driver, just in case, but still have the same problem. Any ideas what else I could try?
The printer is an HP Color Laserjet 2550L

I have just discovered that I can properly print pictures from iPhoto to the colour laser, as long as I don't put them in a greeting card. So that seems to be the trigger.

Is mountain lion can out put 10 bit colour? I nee to buy EIzo Monitor.

No. OS X cannot do it. If you want to drive an Eizo at its full 10 bits per channel you need to use a Windows PC.

16-bit colour export?

Hi everyone,
Is it possible to export quicktimes or sequences out of FCP at higher than 8-bit colour? And does anyone know which codecs are 16/32 bit capable? The manual makes passing reference to floating point colour but never refers exactly in what context. I'm not after float, just 10-16bit will be fine. All the options only list 16 million+ colours at most, which is still only 8-bit plus alpha. We're capturing at 10 bit off Digi so it would be a shame to toss away the extra info when going to Shake and After Effects.

hello User-138...
If you have your sequence set up to 10-bit uncompressed (sequence>settings>compression type)... you can export straight from the timeline (file>export>Quicktime) NOT quicktime conversion.
My FCP is capturing media right now, so i can't open menu's and look into the export details...
You can definatly do as you desire... just a settings option.

10 bit colour display path for lightroom 3??

I have been following an interesting forum topic on the PS forum here about 10 bit monitor support in PS CS5.
For some background:
10 bits/pixel is becoming more prevalent with high-end displays these days (it provides 1.07 billion color possibilities instead of the 16.7 million colors available with the regular 8 bit display path). Getting a fully working 10 bit path from the app to the display appears to be more of a challenge though, but a challenge which appears to have been overcome now in PS CS5. I'm wondering if moves are afoot for Lightroom to also support the 10 bit color path??
This is my take for what you need for PS CS5 to display 10 bit colour in windows (sorry, I'm not a Mac person so couldn't comment):
Suitable graphics adaptor - Some ATI FirePro models and nVidia Quadro models support 10 bit color (cheapest is nVidia Quadro FX 580) - the availability/use of the displayport interface is most often the tell tale pointer as to whether the adaptor supports this. Only more recent driver packs provide 10bit API support for apps to utilise, so latest drivers are often required.
Displayport connection between graphics adaptor and monitor (DVI only supports 8 bit color)
A monitor which supports 10bit color - (High end NEC models (PA241W/PA271W models and new Spectraview Reference models in UK) now support this as does the HP DreamColor plus some Eizo and Lacie models to mention a few)
Enable 10bit color support in the Graphics adaptor control panel - this option generally only appears when all of the above is in place, and when enabled, provides the display path via OpenGL, for apps to utilise if they are coded for such (this option is known as 'Enable 10-bit pixel format support' for ATI, and 'Deep color for 3D applications' for nVidia)
Enable OpenGL hardware support (under Preferences, Performance, 'Enable OpenGL Drawing' in PS CS5)
So will this be supported in Lightroom 3 before long? Or perhaps it is already??
Anyone know this?
Thanks, Paul
p.s. I realise the above chain of requirements sounds complex, but I got it working this week for a new PC build and it was actually quite straightforward.

What would be the advantage of this?
If you google around for how many colours the human eye is able to distinguish, you'll find scientific research quoting numbers around 10.000.000.
Horribly false.
The prevalent sRGB color space is covered fairly well by the 8 bits per pixel depth most commonly used ("32 bit" or "True Color" color in Windows), and that is about 16.7 million colors. While bit depth and color space are different things, once you go to the wider gamuts in other color spaces such as Adobe RGB without using more bits you will start to see banding in similarly colored (blue skies is a good example) areas because there are not enough digital steps to make smooth transitions as the color gradually changes. Take my word for it (I've seen it in many of my own pictures.) or do more reading for more details if it's not clear, but the key points follow.
First go to:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XvYCC
and read about the xvYCC color space. In their reference number 2 down toward the bottom of the web page you find a link to:
http://data.memberclicks.com/site/hopa/2007_xvYCC_forHPA_FINAL.pdf
which is a pdf of a presentation discussing extended gamut color spaces. Check out slide 3 which is at the bottom left of page 1 to see examples of many things in the real world that are quite visible to humans but outside of sRGB.
Next check out slide 19 at the bottom left of the 5th page to see just how pathetic sRGB is at covering human vision. The small pictures on the right in this slide show the coverage of the various color spaces of the "Munsell Color Cascade". The gray areas indicate colors that each space cannot cover, and you can see sRGB has huge blotches of gray.
Munsell did some of the very early definitive lab testing of human color perception. You can start reading about him and his color system here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munsell_color_system
and continue reading other links found on that page for more info about the extensive lab testing of human color perception.
Looking back at slide 4 on page 1 of the presentation linked above you will find an odd looking colored region that is curved around the top. It looks like this:
That colored region is the estimated range of standard human vision. There is a version of that which has the sRGB color space shown on it at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Cie_Chart_with_sRGB_gamut_by_spigget.png
And that large view also gives you a much better idea of just how pathetically inadequate the sRGB color space is at covering human vision. Again, bit depth is not color space, but 8 bits per pixel is pretty much maxed out trying to represent the sRGB color space without having to fake colors within it's triangle.
There are probably cases where banding can be seen even in purely sRGB images with only 8 bits per pixel. And every color that you see in that large region with the curve at the top (in the picture shown in the last link above) that lies outside the sRGB triangle will have to be "clipped", which is converted into some color that does lie within the space. That means you never see any actual colors that fall outside the triangle even if 8 bits per pixel could have covered them somehow using some other color space. They're simply lost.
If you do try to use 8 bits for wider gamut color spaces you end up with the banding I mention above because there are too many shades of color to be represented by 256 steps for each of red, green, and blue. Thus the need for 10 bits or more per pixel.
I hope this helps to dispel any more myths about the limitations of human vision falling within what 8 bits per pixel or sRGB can provide.

Safari on MacBook Air showing graphics in 16-bit colour

Hi all,
On my MacBook Air system, graphics that appear in Safari show up as this (here's a small sample):
In particular, look at the mirroring under the image... it's streaky, indicative of 32-bit-to-16-bit colour conversion.
Is there a setting on Safari that can force it to display graphics in 32-bit colour? The MacBook Air's Display settings don't offer anything with regards to setting a display depth:
Any technical details about this issue would be most welcome! It's not a problem for me, but it is noticable in some Web pages.
Incidentally, Firefox 8 also does this too, but running apps like OmniGraffle Pro:
shows good colour graphics (32-bit).
Is this something that the graphics controller is doing?! For Safari and Firefox to use different rendering engines and produce the same results in rendering images with 16-bit graphics is rather perplexing!
Or... is this Lion's doing?! I am running Safari 5.1.2 and Firefox 8.0.1 on Lion 10.7.2.
Cheers!

I finally found what was going on with my MacBook Air... turns out it has nothing to do with the machine at all. Instead it was because I was using a 3G connection in order to get to the Internet.
My mobile phone provider was using a proxy server which reduced the size of images by re-rendering them on the fly in order to reduce bandwidth on the 3G network! So all those graphics artifacts were caused by my mobile phone provider!
If my MacBook Air uses another Internet connection (like WiFi) on another provider, the problem disappears!

Ipad Air dead after installing IOS 8.0.2
I have just downloaded and installed this version of IOS on my Ipad Air and it is DEAD.
It won't start up.
When I connect my Ipad to my MacbookPro, Itunes tells me the following:
"iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes."
What now? restore? try to remove 8.0.2?
what a misery!!

Problem with 16 Bit colour in Elements 10

I use Lightroom 4.4 to adjust/convert my camera images (Canon CR2) to TIFF 16 Bit colour files. In Elements 10 when I try to use some of the tools to adjust these 16 Bit files I get a window stating :- "Could not perform the requested action because Photoshop Elements provides only limited support for files with 16 Bit colour depth. Do you want to convert the image to 8 Bit colour depth." When I convert I can use all the tools. This is similar to Corel P.S.P. X3 - but in Corel P.S.P. X3 when you have finished adjusting the image and just before you save it - there is a tool that allows you to convert the image back to 16 Bit colour depth. Question:- Is there any way you can convert files back to 16 Bit colour depth in Elements 10 before saving.

Converting back to 16 bits gives no advantage, as Barbara said. You don't bring back the information again. It has been said that if you want to apply heavy edits afterwards, starting with 16 bits should 'theoretically' yield better results... I have tried to show a difference, but I have been unable to provide conclusive practical examples, even with drastic edits.
Note that it is easy to convert an 8 bits jpeg or tiff to 16 bits in Elements via the ACR raw conversion module. Open your 8 bits file in ACR, set the menu to 16 bits (in the middle of the bottom bar) and click 'open' to get it in the editor. From there you can edit in 16 bits and save as tiff or psd if you want.
To open a jpeg or tiff in ACR , use the menu 'open as' and select the 3rd option 'raw...'

Does firefox download updates to plugins compatible with my xp 32 bit system? I have just updated to foxfire 7.01

I have Windows XP, with svc pkg 3, system is 32 bit.
I'm about to update my plugins on my update Foxfire 7.01 and am wondering if the plugin updates will be 64 bit or if the 32 bit only updates will be loaded via the Foxfire plugin page.
I received a prompt to update Java, and it says it's compatible with XP, but in my research, I saw that 64 bit browsers require that both 64 bit and 32 bit Java be downloaded.
Just wondering if, since I have XP 32 bit, if both will automatically be downloaded via Foxfire plugin page, or if I should manually download both.
I'm not a techie, but can maneuver my way around (have learned alot by reading and through my problem solving for my computer over the years). Please explain in "non-techie" speak please. :) I'm just learning about hardware...I know my way around, but have never gotten into hardware until now...since I have to be careful since my computer is an older one, to not download big memory hogging programs or programming incompatible with my system.
Hope this makes sense! Thanks, Donna
PS Sorry about the double post, but I'm new to the support forums and I really want to update my Java plugin, as it fixes security issues.

I will do that from now on. I used a link suggested to me and it crashed FF.
But, I logged off, then restarted and checked my addons and Java is up to date.
My hesitation was whether 64 or 32 bit Java would be loaded. The 32 bit for XP was loaded.
Heading out. Oh did I tell you about CCleaner? It's great and free! Just search for CCleaner and download from Pirifoam for free. It gets rid of remnants of uninstalled programs, all history/temp files/cookies from all browsers on your system and more. I've been using it for years, as have my friends.
Thanks again, think I'm all set now.
PS Do you have the Google Update and Windows Presentation addons? I didn't add them, but they are there and weren't removed as incompatible when I updated from FF 7 to 7.01. So, I havn't disabled them. The Windows Presentation plugin hasn't been updated since 2008 and has no updates! Neither does the Google Update. Think I'll make this a separate subject. Thanks so much for your help!

Why doesn't Firefox for Android support 32/24-bit colour? When will it be enabled? Why isn't it an option?

Can anybody explain why this isn't an option? 16-bit colour has massive amounts of banding and it would very nice if there was at least an option to toggle between 16-bit and 24/32-bit colour.

If that's the case make an optional toggle so I can turn it on a fast device such as my HTC One X and turn it off on slower devices.
Frankly put all the browsers I've tried use 32/24 bit colour whereas firefox is the only browser that I've tired that dosen't use the higher bit depth so at the moment I'm forced to use dolphin and so are many others who ask me for browser recommendations. I would prefer to use firefox but I can't at the moment until this is changed. I'm not the only one either.
Anyways keep up the good work mates!

Does PSE 12 work with 16 bit colour channels better than PSE11?

Whilst I am definitely dissapointed that PSE 12 is not a native 64 bit windows application, I might still purchase it if it handles images with 16 bit colour depth fully, which PSE 11 does not.
I cannot find any reference to this anywhere. - Normally this would mean that there is no change.
Does anybody know the definitive answer please?

There is no change.
I don't know why you would need it, but I don't.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1223180
The reason is that if you edit first in ACR, any ulterior 16 bits editing is just an illusion.
On the other hand, don't expect Adobe to introduce much more 16 editing in future PSE versions. They want you to migrate to CC.
