17 inch display profile

which profile came with my 17 inch macbook pro. I have been playing around with calibration and don't know what the original was called that it came with!
just want to click on it and see what it looks like
thanks

  • Samsung 24-inch display auto-dimming problem

    Right out of the box 3 or 4 months ago, my Samsung 24 inch 2443 BW dims uncontrollably whenever I have a window open that has mostly black or other dark-colored background - say about 60% black; I can actually watch the whole screen and desktop - not just the window - brighten or darken in response to manipulating the images and/or background color in the window. This is on a G5 1.8GHz dual with a GeForce FX 5200, running 10.4.11. It doesn't depend on the ambient light. The System Prefs doesn't offer any way to control auto-dimming. I'm thinking it could be a driver problem, maybe related to the fact that I am still using 10.4.11.
    Has anyone had a similar problem and found a fix or workaround? Thanks.

    Problem solved! This morning (yes, I should've done this 6 months ago, soon after I bought the unit). As a prelude to returning the unit to Samsung, I finally took the 2443 BW back to my local Apple (specialist) dealer (not an Apple Store. They're independent and don't usually "do PCs", although they can if required). Of course I made sure I had some images that were guaranteed to demonstrate the problem. Their "service genius" watched the behavior for less than a minute and promptly fixed it. (Kudos! )
    All that was needed was to "turn off" the "Dynamic Contrast" option from the Samsung's menu (MENU > Picture > MagicBright > Dynanamic Contrast), by selecting one of the other (static) options instead - I preferred the "Sport" option.
    When I got it reconnected at home, I adjusted the contrast and brightness settings on the Samsung's Menu to suit me. I am also using the (Apple > System Preferences > Displays > Color > Adobe RGB (1998) Display profile instead of the one labeled "SyncMaster"). The SyncMaster display profile makes the screen look very washed-out.
    This dialogue has definitely helped, by helping to pinpoint the monitor itself as the most likely source of the problem.

  • Snow Leopard brings display profile problems

    Several threads on Apple Discussions are describing problems with some display profiles after upgrading to Snow Leopard.  My own experience is as follows:
    I upgraded 2 machines, a 2007 MacBook Pro 2.33 GHz, and an early 2008 Mac Pro octo 2.8 GHz with Apple 30 inch Cinema Display.  I use the Eye1 Display2 hardware calibrator, and have been calibrating to Gamma 2.2 for years as recommended in the Adobe Photoshop Mac Forum.  The MacBook Pro has no issues with display profiles, and looks the same as before.  The Mac Pro, however, was a different story.  As soon as I upgraded, the display just looked wrong to me.  The screen lacked contrast and looked quite soft, almost blurry.  I immediately booted back into a clone of my old Leopard installation to check, and sure enough, there was that punchy contrast & solid color I'd grown accustomed to.  The comparison was run using the same profile on the same hardware.  Only difference was Snow Leopard.  I went back to Snow Leopard and selected Apple's new default profile for my display, and this looked better, but nowhere near my custom profile on my old system.  I actually took a screen shot of Apple's red, yellow & green interface button controls to show the difference.  Totally noticeable as follows:  Screen shot taken in Snow Leopard captures washed out interface elements.  Same Screen shot opened in Leopard allows comparison of the interface elements in Snow Leopard with those in Leopard.  I'd post it here, but it's back at the office & I'm at home today.
    I reported this to Apple Feedback, and am posting here in case anyone else has seen this, or has suggestions.  Obvious next step is to recalibrate in Snow Leopard & compare, but that doesn't explain why the same profile on the same hardware looks quite different under Snow Leopard.  Apple's documentation specifically states that those using custom profiles will see no difference after upgrading.

    The thing is, I don't believe that Apple changed the UI for Snow Leopard.  I think I'm seeing a difference in the whole screen, using the same custom profile as before on the same hardware.  I am pretty sure we are looking at the same old UI elements being displayed improperly.  To support this, my MacBook Pro UI and screen look the same as they did before the Snow Leopard upgrade.  Only my Mac Pro with Apple Cinema Display is showing the issue.  Both machines were previously running Leopard 10.5.8 with custom display profiles.  After the upgrade, using the same display profiles, the MacBook Pro looks the same as before, while the Mac Pro looks washed out, not just the UI elements, but the whole screen.  Also, I've been unable to generate a satisfactory new custom profile for the Mac Pro using my Eye1 Display2 hardware calibrator.

  • Display profile and scaled display

    I have a 13 inch mid 2014 macbook pro retina. Anyway, Im curious about the display profiles (i.e. color lcd, adobe, generic, and sRGB). Which is the default one? Will using one or the other help to keep my battery usage low? Same thing with the scaled resolution options. Will these help to lengthen battery life by a couple hours?
    Id like to find a way to make my macbook last longer on battery. Apple says they last about 9 hours but Ive been noticing its about 6 or 7 really, and thats with the brightness pretty low and with only safari open and watching a movie.
    Thanks for your help

    Color LCD is the correct choice. That is the profile made for the display at the factory.
    The only time you want to choose something else is if you have generated a customized profile using calibration hardware. Using a calibrator is usually important to photographers and designers doing color-critical work, but not necessary for users in general. The sRGB and Adobe RGB profiles are there for other uses (like photo editing) and must never be chosen for the monitor.
    The color profile has zero effect on battery life. Scaled resolution might, but I doubt it.
    The Apple Store page describes their battery rating: "The wireless web test measures battery life by wirelessly browsing 25 popular websites with display brightness set to 12 clicks from bottom or 75%. The HD movie playback test measures battery life by playing back HD 720p content with display brightness set to 12 clicks from bottom or 75%...Battery life varies by use and configuration. "
    It is plausible to get less than 9 hours if certain factors are affecting the load on the computer. For example, if you've installed background processes that might use a little CPU all the time, like monitoring utilities, system customizers, or sometimes drivers for peripherals. Also, I am not sure whether the Apple test has Bluetooth on or off. In the Apple test, the movie is being watched in iTunes (using QuickTime), but if you are watching your movie through a different player like YouTube (which uses Flash) or Netflix (which uses Silverlight), the Flash and Silverlight technologies may drain the battery at a different rate than iTunes Quicktime.
    I think 6 or 7 hours is OK if you are using other applications like PowerPoint or Photoshop. Anything involving graphics is going to drain the battery faster than office apps or music.
    I have gotten very long battery life on trains and airplanes where there's no wifi, because I shut off wifi and Bluetooth and turn the brightness down when the cabin is dark. Under those conditions you might get at least 10 hours of battery if the CPU isn't under a significant load.

  • Video card to run 30 inch display for G5 2.5 GHz quad core

    I want to purchase the 30 inch HD display for my G5 Quad core 2.5 GHZ machine. Apple states that it needs the nVidia GeForce 6800 card to run. I have the GeForce 6600. Will the 30 inch display run at a lower resolution with this card? If not, could someone recommend a PCI-E card that will? I did find a 6800 GeForce Ultra at Macsales.com but they state it will not run on the quad G5.
    Thank you for your time and consideration

    Your existing card has two DVI ports. One is single-link and can only run up to a 23". The other is dual-link, and can run a 30" at full resolution.

  • Display Profile No Longer recognized in Final Cut Pro After Mavericks Upgrade

    I have a 27" 3.4 GHz I7 imac. and an Apple 30" Cinema Display  After the Mavericks upgrade my viewer window suddenly has completely crushed blacks and is extremely dark.  Projects previously exported out look perfect in both Quicktime and Preview. I can export a project and it looks fine, just terrible in FCP.  It seems that it is related to my calibrated display profiles.  FCP will not recognize them now under Mavericks and worked fine with Lion.  Switching to the generic imac or cinema display profile will hold after the change and make the viewer look normal.  I downloaded FCP 10.1 didn't fix it.  Any ideas why this is happening now?

    After researching this quite a bit and seeing this Very very dark video in FCP X viewer. I was able to fix the problem by building a matrix based profile. This problem dated back to the first FCP release for some, but I never experienced it until updating to Mavericks.  It seems that Mavericks is the problem, since nothing changed with FCP. I read somewhere else that another color calibration software tool was having an issue that Maverick's broke LUT (Look Up Table's}  I'm surprised that I am not seeing more photographer's/videographers with this issue. It may just be that those that are using calibration don't have softaware that builds LUT profiles by default.

  • Display profiles and soft proofing Windows RGB / Monitor RGB

    This might have asked before, but I did not find any definite answer for this. Sorry this gets a bit long.
    Short question:
    What's the difference between softproofing with Windows RGB and Monitor RGB targets? I see differences in my image between these targets.
    Long question(s):
    Here's some reasoning.. let me know when I go wrong.
    I have hardware calibrated my display Spyder 3 elite to sRGB standard. I have understood that the generated display profile contains a LUT table that affects gamma values for each RGB component, so that affects both gamma and color temperature. That table is loaded into video card when Windows starts. In addition to the LUT table, the display profile contains what? Probably information on what color space the display has been calibrated to. Does that matches directly with the LUT table information, but may deviate from sRGB in the case my monitor cannot reproduce sRGB 100%?
    Now if I have image that that is in sRGB, but the embedded sRGB profile has been stripped away, should any non color management aware image viewer show the colors properly, if it is assumed that 1) my monitor can handle full sRGB space and 2) my monitor was succesfully calibrated to sRGB and the LUT table has been loaded into video card?
    Or does it still require a color management aware program to show the image, which implies that the LUT table information alone is not enough and the display profile contains some extra information that is needed to show the image correctly? I would think this is true, as I needed to turn on color management in Canon Zoom Browser to see images in it the same way as in Photoshop.
    Now to the original question, what's the difference in Photoshop when soft proofing with Windows RGB and Monitor RGB targets
    I read from www.gballard.net that
    Photoshop can effectively "SoftProof" our web browser color:
    Photoshop: View> Proof SetUp> Windows RGB
    Photoshop's Soft Proof screen preview here simulates how unmanaged applications, web browsers, will display the file on 2.2 gamma monitors, based on the sRGB profile. If the file is based on sRGB and our monitor gamma is 2.2 and D/65 6500 degrees Kelvin, we should see very little shift here, which is the goal.
    Photoshop: View> Proof SetUp> Monitor RGB
    THIS IS WHERE the color-brightness-saturation problem will repeat consistantly.
    Soft Proofing Monitor RGB here strips-ignores the embedded ICC profile and Assigns-Assumes-Applies the Monitor profile or color space.
    The color and density changes seen here show the difference between the monitor profile and the source profile sRGB.
    I'm not sure how to read that. Assume here that my monitor has been calibrated to sRGB and the PS working space sRGB. Do in both cases photoshop strip away color profile from the image at first? What happens after that? Does in Windows RGB case Photoshop pass the color values as they are to display? What does it do in "Monitor RGB" case then? Does it assign my monitor profile to the image? If it does, does there also happen conversion from one color space to another? In either one conversion there must happen as the soft proofing results are different. Does either one cause "double profiling" to the image as the monitor is already calibrated?
    Thanks

    Windows defaults to sRGB if you don't calibrate your monitor so untagged sRGB files should display (more or less) correctly in applications that don't know about color management on systems with uncalibrated monitors.
    When proofing against Windows RGB you're proofing against sRGB, it will show you how applications that don't know about color management on an uncalibrated monitor will show the image. This is what you proof against if you want to see how the image will display in web browsers.
    When you proof against Monitor RGB, Photoshop will assign your monitor's icc profile to the image which tends to be utterly useless most of the time.

  • Memory Leak in Preview.app when switching Display Profiles

    I found a weird memory leak in Max OS X Preview.app, which manifests itself when Display profiles (color calbration) is change. I wonder if anyone else can reproduce my experience.
    1. Open up "System Preferences" -> "Displays", switch to the "Color" tab. You'll need at least 2 available profiles in the list. (If you only have 1, you can create another using "Calibrate..." button to launch Display Calibration Assistant.
    2. Open an image file in Preview.app.  The larger, the better. Zoom in full size to maximize the effect of the bug. I repro'ed easily with this image: http://www.donporter.net/NewSchool/Color/Examples/Printer%20Test%20file.jpg
    3. Open up "Activity Monitor.app", and click on Preview to highlight it, so you can watch its memory usage.
    4. Switch back to "Diplays" Preference Pane. Using the arrow keys, toggle up and down between two different Display profiles.
    4a. At the same time, watch Preview's "Real Mem" in Activity Monitor, as well as the total "Active" memory.
    5. Each time you switch profiles,  Preview consumes more Active/Real memory, about 25MB per switch in my case. This continues until all physical memory is consumed, and then (I presume) starts swapping virtual memory to disk.
    6. Bring Preview to  foreground, and all the profile-induced memory usage is freed.
    Weird, wild stuff.

    Could it be possible that this is just the OS holding the memory for the app until another process requires it?  Do you find that the memory increase eventually causes the app to become unstable? 
    It might be best to open a new bug report on this over at bugbase.adobe.com.  When adding the bug, please include any source code, project or installer that will help us reproduce the issue internally.  If you'd like to keep your code private, feel free to email it directly to [email protected]  Once entered, please post back with the URL so that others effected can add their comments and votes.

  • Will the Apple 30 Inch display work with my MacBook pro? Confused!!

    Hi all,
    thinking of getting a used Apple 30 inch display to go with my MBP, but not sure if it will work at the correct resolution. Ive read you need a Duel Link DVI cable, but I have Thunderbolt not mini-display port. My MBP is early 2011 (think), so I am really confused. The 27 Incher with thunderbolt would be good too, but they are too expensive for me.
    Graphics card is AMD Radeon HD 6490M, 16mb RAM. 10.6.8.
    I would really appriciate any advice !
    Thank you all in advance,
    Bish.

    I am replying to my own post here, but i have made excellent progress and wanted to let any other viewers in the same boat, know the solution.
    Basically, the Duel Link DVI cable from Apple (£70 / $99) is the bad boy that works. My confusion was Thunderbolt, but apparently Thunderbolt IS ALSO a DVI port ! So, buy the 30 incher on Ebay or off a mate, and BANZAI ! done. Glorious res of about 2560x1600pixels is awesome!
    The only downside here is that it might be too big LOL !!!!
    Good luck all

  • "Macbook Pro 17-inch" OR "15-inch 2.0Ghz + 23-inch display" ?

    I'm ready to upgrade my iMac G4 and would like to change to a Macbook Pro. The decision i'm working on making is whether to invest in the 17-inch MBP or go for the 15-inch + 23-inch display. Both options cost about the same.
    The combination of laptop and display creates the flexibility of working on a large desktop display at home and bringing the laptop with me when I travel.
    The 17-inch brings the higher performance. Perhaps the 17-inch display is plenty of screen space for working at home (I've been working with a 17-inch screen on my G4 iMac for several years)
    I would describe my use of the system as "home use" -> internet, email, iTunes, photo library/editing/I'm thinking about upgrading from iPhoto to Photoshop, video storage/I've done very little video editing but may start with Final Cut Express,
    I'd very much appreciate any comments and advice from anyone who can make suggestions about which of these systems would be best for my needs.
    Some additional questions about the MBP + Cinema Display combination:
    Is it a good idea to run the MacBook Pro 15-inch connected to a 23-inch Apple display? I realize the Apple displays are targeted at Mac Pro users. Would i get the full benefit of the display performance if I'm driving it with a Macbook Pro? Is it convenient to "dock" and "un-dock" the MBP from the display? Besides the Bookendz product is there any expectation that Apple will produce a docking station to connect the MBPs to the displays?

    If you plan on using it mainly at home, I would get the 15" and external display. That's what I done. It's been working out great. You don't need a docking station either. Everything is easy to attach and unattach,

  • How to get the POSIX path of a display profile under 10.6?

    Hi forum,
    I'm currently struggling with an AppleScript that returns the POSIX path of the profile of the 1st display just fine when run under OS X 10.4.11. But under 10.6, I can't seem to get it to work, it raises 'syntax error: Expected “,” but found identifier'.
    tell app "ColorSyncScripting"
    set prof to location of (display profile of display 1)
    try
    POSIX path of prof
    end try
    end tell
    (I should probably mention that I try to run the actual script from the commandline using osascript - ie. `osascript -e 'tell app "ColorSyncScripting"' -e 'set prof to location of (display profile of display 1)' -e 'try' -e 'POSIX path of prof' -e 'end try' -e 'end tell'`)
    Any suggestions are appreciated.

    The ColorSync scripting extension relied on FSSpecs and was not 64-bit compatible. Apple dropped it entirely, along with huge chunks of the ColorSync API for which there are currently no publicly documented replacements. You'll have to do it in C.

  • Brightness sensor malfunction on 27 inch display?

    Does anyone know where the brightness sensor is on the 27 inch display? I have the display set to adjust the brightness but there doesn't seem to be any change at all when I turn the lights out in the room. I wonder if I'm getting "feedback" into the sensor from objects around the display.

    I thought the light sensor was firmware controlled, not software. If so, installing software wouldn't have an affect. You may have the brightness turned up fairly high for both bright and dark levels. Try this:
    1. Turn out the lights in the room.
    2. Adjust the brightness manually until it's at the level you like.
    3. Turn on the lights in the room.
    Does the brightness change?
