27" LED Display Color Correction

I can't find any information no whether this display is able to be calibrated for color correction. I recently purchased one and one of our Color Correction vendors told us this display was not capable.
Your help is greatly appreciated.

The answer is yes. I assume you mean using a calibration hardware and software device like an EyeOnedisplayTwo. That device can also calibrate luminance which sets it apart from some calibration devices. I calibrate my ACD, 27" iMac and my new LED Apple monitor with this to the same "settings" as I use these with Photoshop and Lightroom (the iMac is a standalone - the ACD and LED run in dual mode off a MacPro) Not sure what those people are talking about.

  • MBP Retina and Thunderbolt Display color correction

    What are my options regarding color correction for a new 13" Retina MBP and Thunderbolt display using Spyder color calibration system, or equivalent?  Really important I nail that down before purchasing.
    Thanks!

    Disable GPU drawing in Photoshop's preferences, and let Apple know about their video driver problems.

  • Please help.  Photoshop isn't displaying colors correctly after new monitor/calibration

    When I open JPEGS or RAW images in photoshop they have a dull, flat color to them.  This is happening after recently buying a NEW PA271W wide-gamut display and calibrating it using Spectraview 2.  It doesn't matter whether I have the Working Space in PS set to Adobe RGB or sRGB under color settings... The only way I can make my image look normal is to go under settings and ASSIGN PROFILE to Adobe RGB.  It looks fine then.  I could live with that, except the bigger problem is that I begin my editing process in RAW, where the colors are also looking flat.  The best I can tell, there is no way to assign a profile at this stage... and I don't even know if that would help. 
    I've been working in photoshop many years and I do know that RAW images have a 'flatter' appearance to being with, but this is something completely different.  For example, when I slide photoshop onto my other monitor next to it (I have multiple monitors) - the color reverts to the normal color I want .  And if I then slide photoshop back onto my new NEC monitor, the normal color actually stays intact for about two seconds, then reverts back to the dull color.  So I am unable to begin my work process in RAW since the colors are wrong.  Also, I know that my new monitor is capbable of displaying my images in their proper colors because when I use any of several different image viewers I have - irfanview, etc. - everything is fine.  It's only in photoshop.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks, Chance.  Oh, and I have CS5 and I'm using Windows 7.

    What you're describing sounds like your display profile is incorrect.
    Don't mess with the working space, don't assign profiles -- just fix the display profile.

  • Windows media player on macbook pro not displaying colors correctly

    I'm running WMP on Windows on my macbookpro but the colors don't display properly on any video. Other types of video work fine but the windows media format seems to not function properly.
    Any ideas?

    BTW, for future questions, try posting in the QuickTime for Mac forum. You'll be normally more likely to get help there than you will here in the QuickTime for Windows forum.

  • Apple Studio 17" Display colors not right after thunderstorm

    Noticed this afternoon, after a thunderstorm, that my 17" Apple Studio Display was not displaying colors correctly. All windows are reversed - white background is now black and text is white. Also photos look like 35mm negatives. My blue Apple standard background is now orange. I checked the Display section in the System Preferences and did the ColorSync calibration and troubleshooting (verify and repair). None of this has any affect. Any suggestions?

    Try Control-Command-Option-8
    or select "Black on White" in the "Seeing" tab of "Universal Access" system preference.

  • Firefox is not displaying the correct font color on my blog, but other browsers are.

    I have a web designer issue. Firefox is not displaying the correct font color on the header in my blog. Explorer, Chrome, and Safari have no problems. The page is in css but this particular section has html code o designate color. The code is as follows:
    <font face="helvetica" color="FF9966" size="1">blog</font>
    Though all other browsers display the light orange color designated, Firefox displays white. Strangely, if if retype the code by spelling out a color, Firefox displays it correctly. i.e.
    <font face="helvetica" color="black" size="1">blog</font>
    ... will give me black. You can see the effect by viewing the link below and looking at the word "blog" in the header, which should be light orange but is not in Firefox.

    Actually it also seems to work in the current Firefox 4 beta as it is.
    The code is not right though - the correct syntax for the color attribute with hex values is with a # at the start, so:
    color="#FF9966"
    It might work in Firefox 3.x if you change that.

  • Color Calibration for 27 " LED Display

    I am shoping for a color calibration system for my 27 inch LED Display.  I was planing on gettinga ColorMunki Photo but I am not certain it will work with a LED backlit display.  What about the Spyder 3 route ?

    I got the following response from Datacolor.  So I guess the Spyder is an option.
    Dear Thomas,
    thank you very much for your message and your faith in Datacolor products.
    The Spyder3 (Elite, Pro and Express) is fully compatible with latest display technologies, such as LED-Backlight, Wide-Gammut and screens with a glossy surface.

  • Configuring an external Monitor for Color Correction?

    I currently have my Mac Book Pro 17in connected by the mini DV port and one USB port to a Mac 30" Cinema Display for editing on FCP7. I use it in a two monitor configuration with my Bin on the laptop screen and the FCP interface on the Cinema display. This works well for me.
    I also have an external ESata drive via PCI slot. I would like to connect an external video monitor as well for quality checks and Color correction purposes. I am also looking for advice on what sort of external video monitor I should get and how would I connect it to the laptop or via some external third party device. I would be hoping to use a video monitor connected via a hdmi connection. Most of the work I do is supplied on drives, original material EX3 or Canon and some on HDV (Camera) that I ingest via Firewire800. Many thanks in advance.

    Sorry Mark, you can't always have everything ... with the Matrox MXO2 (or similar, like Motu HDX-SDI) you wouldn't be able to use your eSATA drive at the same time as the I/O device as they both use the ExpressCard/34 port ... you would have to use a FW800 drive for your media instead. On the plus side the MXO2 includes a calibration tool which can help you calibrate your LCD/LED screen via HDMI for accurate color reproduction.
    An alternative device would be the AJA IoHD (or perhaps Motu V4HD) which connects via FW800. It's a superb piece of kit but is costly and doesn't offer any calibration utility ... that said, a good quality plasma display, such as a Panasonic Pro Plasma, can be found relatively cheaply and many of these have built in picture controls suitable for getting an accurate calibration.
    The future is much brighter for Mac laptop users with the introduction of the Thunderbolt connector on the latest MBP revisions. As with FireWire and ExpressCard, you can expect to see I/O devices, hard drives and monitors etc that will connect directly via that connection, greatly expanding the capabilities of a simple laptop setup.

  • Calibrating LED Display

    Hi,
    I've searched for but not found an answer to the following questions:
    1. I want to use an Eye-One calibrator on my new MBP 15 with its LED display. As I understand it, the display is actually an LCD display with LED, rather than flourescent, backlighting.
    Question: Is there any reason the Eye-One won't work?
    2. At work, I hook up a Samsung monitor. I want to calibrate it, too. As I understand it, because the MBP has but one video card, I will be able to profile the Samsung, but I will have to use that profile on both my screens (the MBP) while running two monitors. Is that correct? If so, no problem -- I'll put my images on the Samsung and the tools on the MBP.
    Thanks, in advance, for the advice.

    I have calibrated my new macbook pro with the led lcd with a older model gretag eye one. I used version 3.6 software downloaded from gretag macbeth's website. The calibration worked out great. I used native color temperature and gamma 2.2. I have an image from fuji called fujical, the screen matches fujical's print perfectly, as well as other control prints I use. Good luck

  • Bridge displays color images as b&w

    I assume this has something to do with settings in Bridge CS4, my platform is MacBook Pro OS 6.8.10.
    This question might confuse some people. To beging with, I do shoot my images in RAW files, I even have Bridge convert them to DNG files.
    Upon download the images are displayed in color as they should be for RAW files. After editing images in Camera RAW,  I convert most all images to sRGB. When some of those edited images come back to Bridge, they might be presented in B&W, though no color is lost to the file upon displaying in Photoshop, and I did not edit the file to be a B&W image. I have DNG, Canon RAW, Tif and Jpeg files, and most of these are displayed in color, but some are not, and I have not figured out the missing link just yet. So to be clear, I have Jpeg color images, displaying as b&w images, but they are color images. Only b&w images should be displayed as b&w.
    This problems started once I learned I could edit one image in photoshop out of a series of images, then after editing, i could bring the single photo file back to bridge, and then copy/paste image settings onto a groups of images in Bridge, and all those images would then have the same adjustments made to them as a batch edit adjustment.
    But now sometimes I get a B&W display on some images even when I do not apply a Bridge settings edits, and when I never edited the image for a B&W display.  I has to a setting somewhere in Bridge, and I just have not figured it out yet.
    Thanks in advance for all suggestions:

    Yammer asked a pertinent question that remains unanswered—is that “settings” badge (small lines-triangles-in-a-circle) shown on the B/W image thumbnails (at least).  If you’re not sure, then include a screenshot of a few Bridge thumbnails where some are color and some are B/W, using the little camera icon on the web version of the forum messages.
    And the answer is NO!. I only have those showing up associated with the .DNG files (Camera RAW)
    Another similar question would be if you see a B/W thumbnail in Bridge, try doing a right-click (or whatever the Mac equivalent is) and choose Open in Camera Raw.  Is the image in B/W or color in Camera Raw.
    A <Control Click> (on MAC), opens the .jpeg file in b&w, as shown in the thumbnail.
    Can you upload three versions of one of the images that display as B/W:  the original PSD/raw/TIF file, a normal Save As JPG that is in color, and a Save For Web JPG that is B/W?  Use something like http://www.dropbox.com/ and post a public download link to the images, here.
    NO, I thought I explained that real well. Only the .jpeg file that was saved through the "Save for Web" processing ( that is, the a jpeg the goes through greater compression to reduce image file size for web display), is the image file process that produces the b&w thumbnail in Bridge ONLY. All opened images, of various file formats (ie: DNG, Psd, Tif, Jpeg, & Jpeg for Web), all present Color presentations (for editing in Photoshop, and or in display browsers). It is only the thumbnail of that particular jpeg formatting processing for Web Images that produces the b&w image "THUMBNAIL" in Bridge.
    When you Save As JPG or For Web, are you ever overwriting the original image with a new one or do you always save the PS-edited image with a new name?
    No, never. I leave my RAW files, as RAW originals, and work on newly names images files.
    A theory about what is happening is that Bridge uses Camera Raw to generate its thumbnails, and the images that are B/W have some embedded Camera Raw setting, perhaps pasted from a different filetype, that makes CR think the image should be rendered as B/W, but when you open the images on Photoshop, you are opening them directly, without using the Camera Raw plug-in, so any embedded settings are ignored, and the image displays in its original state without the settings having been applied.
    It makes since, (what you are saying), and it certainly does respond in that fashion. Your suggestion to open Ctrl Click, or Right Click to open the thumbnail in Camera RAW, was an interesting test, and the response was to open the previously save color image with a b&w thumbnail, into Camera RAW as a b&w image. So Camera RAW is responding to what is in the xmp settings that describes this images thumbnail to be displayed b&w. It is weird that a browser does not.
    As to what is in the window selections for the "Save for Web" editing windows, Presets for jpeg are :
    Progressive
    Optimize
    Embed Color Profile
    And I use Embed Color Profile.
    Even the Preview button at the bottom of the window, shows the color image as displaying color.
    I vaguely remember about a year ago doing some CS 4 Photoshop and Bridge web tutorials from an unnamed tutoring website and guy named D_k_ . It is his fault. Just kidding, I actually enjoy those tutorial.
    **** Okay, this is perhaps originating from Camera RAW presets, where you can apply previously made settings to other images and then saved them as Presets. Though I don't have this checked in Camera RAW ( still something goofy is going on there), I did find that in Bridge I can reset the individual "saved for Web" image thumbnail back to the the color image by :
    Right Click  (Ctrl Click, MAC) on the thumbnail
    menu down to the "Development Settings" and select :
    "Previous Conversion", and this presents the color thumbnail.
    I have now tested all the Camera RAW settings in Camera RAW, by opening an image in each one of these :
    Image Settings
    Camera RAW Defaults
    Previous Conversion
    Custom Settings
    and then reducing image file size, and saving for the web, while changing file name, and each and every one of these Settings produces a Sepia Toned thumbnail. I found out the images were a subtle Sepia Toned image by enlarging the Bridge Thumbnails bigger for a better view. So I can correct the thumbnail after it has been created, but so far, I can't get the thumbnail to be correct on first creation of the web saved jpeg image file. Regular jpeg image file thumbnails save correctly.

  • Color correction

    there was a thread on cs5 about this that interested me, so I started new thing here cause Im using cs3..
    Shooternz, your help in the cs5 thread was great...and this is what I did....in my particular circumstances...
    ( I have to say that this is really the first time I'm sorta getting serious about CC and using the scopes etc...to try to learn this better )
    I know the basics and the monitor stuff and the way people shoot properly exposed grayscale, color etc on set for calibration ( using film mostly in my experience, but done with digital too as I've seen )...
    Sooo, here's the thing... I shot this clip as a test to see how long the music had to be to get a mssg across later on ( an insert shot that I will shoot on the day in the right location etc )... so this was a timing test sorta....didnt care about the lighting.
    However, since I shot it I've tried to make it as good as I can ( why not ? )
    I had a flourescent unit ( drop down ceiling 32K flourescents ) above...but it read about 36k on color meter and needed color correction at that ( LB and CC correction ..know what I mean ? )...so OK...who cares, its a test and timing only sooooo I dont put gels on the light and just shoot.
    Soooo, I DID IN FACT put a grayscale down to fix it later if possible....even though it wasn't lit right....
    This is what it looks like basically...
    pretty terrible...very yellow and compressed tones etc...not good...
    Soo, following your suggestions in thread in cs5, using waveform and vectorgraph, I come up with this instead..
    WAYY BETTER !  ( thank you ! )....but...not perfect...thats OK, I didnt light it right...but better ....
    Now, though, when I paste attributes of this to the clip in question I end up with this pixelation or "splotchy " stuff..as shown here
    Now, my experience using psd tells me that if you try to correct too much, there's a sorta " limit" to what you can do, and things start just plain getting screwed up..."splotchy" like this...  but if I had some way to just pick on the "yellow" gamma or something maybe I could get rid of it ....OR do a color replacement ( change ??? )... like pick out that particular color and change it to something closer to the white???  Have you ever dealt with this type thing ???  I know I started out all wrong to begin with but am wondering what you think ??
    Thanks !
    Rod
    ps...this was a dumb test so please dont , you know, put much into this...I know I shot it all screwed up to begin with..

    Hey Rod
    Your CC looks fine and if the intention was to correct the col temp and exposure issue..you did fine.  I see you have a full scale of tones in the greys.
    Obviously you should start off with a correct  exposure  and that doesn ot necessarily mean a "technically correct" exposure.
    You do not have to shoot and CC / grade to display the full range from Balck to white.
    Its important to rember that the CC and grade (and the composition) are part of "the story"  At times you will want crushed blacks and other times you may want a high key look or compressed tones in the mid.  Then afetr the "tones" you think about what color tells the story.
    Always..... Levels before Color correction!
    BTW - the eye rules but ensure technically that the scopes confirm what you think you see.
    Heres someof my images reflecting different CC for a "fit with the story"
    Flat , clean,compressed mid tones, clinical ( a green screen BTW)
    Dark , compressed toward blacks with detail in mids, juicy highlightsdramatic ( slo mo)
    Full tonal range,hi color, "summer on xmas day"
    full range color and tone, texture "yummy"
    Clean and clinical mid ranges with slight color de-saturation of BG
    FG grade to match bg (key) and fit time of day look.
    Keep in mind...the above shots started in the photography and the cc / grade is enhancement.
    Good luck mate.

  • Color correction, color profile, colorsync, wide gamut,

    There hasn't been any reply to the threads about color inconsistency in OS X, so I'm starting another one.
    I'm using a wide-gamut monitor attached to a Mac with built-in display. When Preview displays an image, it applies some color correction to it. This leads to unnecessary color warping.
    If the image is solid red, #FF0000, it displays it as orange, #FF2500. If I copy and paste the image, it further warps the color to brownish-orange, #DF4616 or the like.
    For example, this image, http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b9/Solid_red.png , shows up fine in Firefox, but when it's color "corrected" thorough Preview or other OS X applications, it becomes something like http://i.imgur.com/gDiTE.png
    Please, before commenting about color calibration, note that *this is not a monitor calibration issue*. My monitors are calibrated well, and no recalibration can fix this.
    This is an OS X color correction issue. OS X applies and re-applies color correction schemes, resulting in warped colors on anything but sRGB monitors. This corrupts image colors whenever they are handled.
    Someone, please address this long-standing issue.

    These forums are the wrong place for getting Apple's attention to your issue. If you want to report this issue to Apple's engineering, send a bug report or an enhancement request via its Bug Reporter system. To do this, join the Apple Developer Connection (ADC)—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report or enhancement request. The nice thing with this procedure is that you get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering.

  • Color correction problems with multiple monitors

    I just upgraded my Win 7 from RC to RTM.  I then updated my color correction using Gretag Macbeth i1 for both adapters. My system has 2 video cards and 3 monitors.  Monitor 1 runs off adapter 1, monitors 2 & 3 run off adapter 2.  Both video cards and all 3 monitors are of the same model.  I set adapter/monitor 1 to the ICC profile 1, and adapter 2/monitor 2&3 to ICC profile 2 from Gretag.  Not running LR, everything looks as expected.
    When I run LR on the primary monitor green leaves turn orange, if I had to guess I would say I'm loosing the green information.  If I move LR to display 2 or 3 the colors are as they should be.
    I ran into this once before and it was something simple to fix this, but I can't seem to find it now.   BTW, this worked just fine before the upgrade from RC to RTM.

    At first I thought a reboot cured the problem, but apparently not.

  • Color Correction changes when Canvas is re-sized?

    I have an Apple Cinema Display 22 inch (pre-HD model) and am working with some DVCPRO-HD footage that has been turned black and white using the 3-way CC filter. We wanted to do a quick pass on it and get the contrast as consistent as possible before we spend the money going in somewhere with an HD CRT (hopefully) for the final 'contrast tweaks'. My question is this: When the project is arranged in a 'Color Correction' layout, the 'Excess Luma' range check gives us a green check mark on certian clips; however when the canvas is stretched and re-sized to give us a bigger viewing area, we get an 'exclamation point' on the same clips -- even though the dots still look the same (good) in our waveform monitor. Why does re-sizing the canvas -- making it bigger -- violate the range check? That shouldn't bel. Should we just ignore it, and pay attention to the waveform monitor?

    My guess is that when you expand the window, you reveal ALL of the pixels or something, and if the image is at 100%, you should be able to rely on the range checking tool report.

  • Monitor color correction

    no matter how i try to calibrate my monitor it seems off. different each time. the color correction utility isn't doing it for me. so i'm using an acer al2416w. i don't know if that matters at all. but what are some good products to do some real color correcting. it's important as i do graphics and have spent over a grand on being ready to do color correction for final cut. maybe i should be posting this in that forum. any ideas?

    When you say you do graphics, I assume you mean print work? If so, there are hardware color calibrators such as Gretag MacBeth's Eye-One Display 2 or Pantone's huey and huey pro.
    I have not used either of these products
