3d painting issue - why is my selected value showing up different then the actual color I'm picking?

Love the CS5's 3d painting features but I'm running into a really frustrating issue:
When I select a value from the 3d object and try to paint with that value, it's showing up as a different value altogether (the image hopefully illustrates this much better than words).
Not sure if it's got something to do the the lights setup or something else but I cannot figure it out. Anyone else running into this or have a solution?
Thanks!!!

Ok, let me try to be explain the issue in more detail.
Note:
All 3D layer settings are default. No lights, ambient color setting, etc have been tweaked.
Description:
In order to paint out texture seams on a 3d character model, I have imported an .obj of the model into PS CS5 and applied a texture map to it which I have previously painted.
Using the eye dropper I have selected a color value from the sides of the seam and have attempted to paint that value over the seam to remove it.
Results:
The color value picked from a texture applied to a 3d model which is 161,161,173, is not the same color value when painted directly back onto the model. It has now mysteriously turned into 152,152,177.
Expected results:
When a color value is picked from a texture applied to a 3d model (161,161,173) and painted back onto the textured model it should remain exactly the same (161,161,173)
I hope lighting/shading is not figured in when color picking. That would make your results completely unpredictable. It could possibly be what is happening but is there a way turn this off or work around it?
Thanks for the help.

Why is the contents of Safari's downloads folder different than the actual folder?

Why is the contents of Safari's downloads folder different than the actual folder that resides in my users folder?

Problem is if I delete that .plist I'll delete those downloads. I'm still able to launch those downloads from that location so that tells that file is probably not corrupted. I need to be able to located that folder and transfer the downloads from it before I do anything like this. So that begs the question, where is that folder located? When I do a folder search I'm taken to a Downloads folder, but it's not the one that is showing up from within Safari as it's contents are too different.

Why is the view of the clip different then the view of the project?

why is the view of the clip different then the view of the project?

Yes you are correct, it is with the setting of the properties.
Where do i report this then if it is not with the SDK but the manual setting of properties.
Also, how do i alter this ussue with the SDK, what are the commands, does it have to be done only by Javascript?

Why is my iphone 4s 64GB serial number on the box different then the serial number on the phone?

I just purchased a new Iphone 4s 64GB. I brought it to my carrier to have it activated. when I came home to register it with Apple, I noticed that the serial number on the box is different then the serial number on my Iphone. Why?

When you bought the iPhone, was the box sealed? Srink wrapped? If not then the iPhone may have been changed.
Have you tried to register the iPhone with Apple and does it come up clean, that is, not previously registered?

Why i get different value when subtracting two elements of different arrays then the actual value in a timed loop

Hi Everyone
I have a probem in substracting the two elements of two different 1-D arrays. The problem is, I am taking out data from a CCD camera which gives me data in form of 2-D array. So i select 1-D array out of it. Now this CCD output is in a timed loop, hence i am getting data in each loop. I select a perticular array output of the CCD and this is then passed to shift register and in all the loops later on, one of the element of the output array of the CCD is substracted from the same indexed element of the selected array. For reference i have pasted the snap shot of the block diagram. In this snap shot you see three probes. The value at the prob 1 is 232, at probe 2 is 255 and at 3 is 4294967273, where as actually i sould have a value of -23 since i am substacting prob 1 and probe 2 values. Since the value of probe 2 will always remain at 255 as i have fixed it by choosing an array form CCD and i checked the value of probe 1 which never goes above 255 so why do i get this false value here.
Can you please help me in problem.
Regards
Chauhan

Your data is U32 (unsigned integer) which does not have negative values. According to unsigned integer math, "negative" results will wrap.
You need to work in a datatype that is appropriate for what you want to do. How many significant bits do you have in the raw data?

Why does eye dropper Lab show a different value than the Lightness channel?

Can someone help me understand how the L in Lab color in the eye dropper tool maps to the actual Lab Lightness channel? Both are on a scale of 0-100, but they clearly show different values. Here's a video that show what I mean (note that if I completely desaturate the color, I get the same results, it isn't a color thing).

I cannot read much useful in the OP's video, but I think, the OP is not talking about
HLS- or HSL-Lightness (not available in PS CS6) or HSB-Brightness, but only about
CIELab Lightness in two different modes:
Figure 1:
Figure 2:
The area was filled with a gray L=50 a=0 b=0.
In Figure 1 all channels are selected. The values are correct.
In Figure 2 only the Lightness channel is selected. The value L=54 is wrong.
What might be the reason?
Measurements were always taken inside the area. The RGB-values are the same in both modes.
Please don't verify this by measuring in these Forum-images. These are PNGs in RGB.
Please verify by repeating the trial.

Why does a job still show as running on the server even after it's deleted from Instance Manager?

Deleting a job in Instance Manager doesn't seem to delete the job on the actual server. Is there another location where we need to cancel the 'connection' to the database from where it's running?

I should also note that this only seems to be an issue with music that was purchased through itunes. Once I delete songs purchased through itunes on my iphone 5 they still show up with the cloud and down arrow and I can still play them. I do not want them visible unless I choose to download them.

Why is officejet 6700 black ink more expensive than the other colors

why is hp officejet 6700 black ink almost twice as expensive as the other colors?

The black cartridge is larger and has more than twice the ink of the standard color cartridges.
If you do much printing you might want to consider the XL version of the cartrdiges. The 932XL is rated at 1000 pages for $32 compared to the standard black cartridge rated at 400 pages for $20.

Showing a parameter on the prompt where user can pick a value drom dropdown

Hi All,
I have a requirement to display a parameter in the applet prompt that shows user a LONG picklist of values to choose and then submit the BIP report request under Siebel.
I now the syntax to declare a parameter with few list of values but how to manage if the list is too long.
e.g. a list of Countries that are in the system today.
Please give me some suggestion as to how we can handle a long list of values when need to display it against a parameter.
Thanks,
Raghu

It must be a generic requirement to display a dropdown in the prompt applet but what if the list of values expected in the drop down are too long. Can we still accommodate it by defining the parameter string in the RTF.?
Please suggest some solution here.

Raghu

TA24505 Why do d600 raw's look totally different than the jpg's that are imported together. When I select a raw, it looks as if it gets adjusted, but I can't figure out why...

When I import nef files from nikon D600, the pictures look good in the preview, but that's just because the preview is a jpg, generated by the camera. When I select the image, it looks like it is processing something and a totaly different (darker) images is presented in the preview window and the thumbnails. In the adjusment window no adjustments look active/selected.
Is the diference because Aperture cannot proces my Nef files the right way or are there some default adjustments selected in Aperture, somewhere that I'm not aware of? Maybe some default import setup...?
I use the latest updated version of Aperture, I'm new to aperture and understand the concept but am not familiar with all the tools.
Anyone?
(thanks in advance!)

Thanks Leonie,
I think this also answers my question:
Are you per chance using the in-camera setting for D-Lighting? If so, this is a Nikon proprietary use where the camera intentionally underexposes the image, then applies in-camera processing to bring it back to normal exposure that offers a slightly enhanced dynamic range. Unfortunately, Nikon does not share how this is done and it can only be rendered by their own software options.
Aperture, or any other third party RAW image processor, can't easily match these proprietary processes in any exact fashion ... they have to develop their own ... not just for one camera or one brand ... but all those they support ... even if they would try to match these in-camera settings ... the likelihood that they would satisfy more than a small batch of users is quite low ... tone and color results are purely subjective so finding a match that would please everyone is almost impossible.
This is why if you plan on using a third party RAW processor like Aperture, it is best to avoid using the in-camera processing settings. Rather you should create your own presets within Aperture to achieve your goals. In this instance, it is better to allow your chosen RAW processor to do the work, rather than the camera do the processing.
The reason you see the change in the image as Aperture loads it, you initially see the embedded jpeg preview from the NEF file. Then Aperture creates a new more accurate view based upon Aperture's RAW processing engine.

I am confused by the installation step that requires you to create a bootable USB drive for windows installation. What is the ISO image and why has it selected my Passport backup drive as the destination disc?

In the bootcamp installation it asks me to create a bootable USB drive for Windows Installation. To do so, I must choose an ISO image. What is that? When I click "choose" I don't understand the options presented. Is this the destination of the partition or where Windows will reside on the Mac? Why does it also indicate the the destination disk si my WD Passport Back up drive?

OK, so I have an apple superdrive hooked up to my mini (along with my Passport back up drive). I also have the discs for both 64bit and 32bit Windows along with the product key. I am still not sure what to do when faced with the options after "choose".

Why does my itunes summary show so much in the 'other' tab

while tryng to synch my iphone, it told me i didnt have enough room for my 5 new songs, that i need over 3mb to do this. then i took a whole bunch of stuff off my phone including ALL of my music, (and fb!)and the 'other' in my summary tab shot up to 7.14 gb!!!! that's almost half my 16 gb! what does the 'other' tab mean?

Hey ridgegirl,
Try out these steps to resolve the issue:
Orphaned files may remain on your iOS device if it is physically disconnected while syncing music, podcasts, videos, or photos. This can prevent iTunes from syncing the iOS device on subsequent sync sessions. When this happens, the Capacity indicator in iTunes may report a large amount of "Other" disk usage for the iOS device. To resolve this issue:
Turn off the music or photo sync option in iTunes for the device.
Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
Turn the music and photo sync options for the device on again.
Click Apply again to try to sync the device to iTunes.
If the 'Not enough free space' alert appears, continue to step 5.
Turn off the automatic syncing functions for the iOS device. To do this:
Select the iOS device from the iTunes window and click the Summary tab.
Deselect "Automatically sync when this device is connected" and select the "Sync only checked songs and videos" checkbox.
Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
Reduce the amount of data that is being synced to the device and resync the device. For example, if syncing your Music library exceeds the memory capacity of the device, choose "Selected playlists" to transfer rather than "All songs and playlists" under the Music tab in iTunes.
If the 'Not enough free space' alert appears, continue to step 6.
Restore using iTunes.
