Auto Color – seeing exactly what it is doing?
Hi Adobe Forum Readers,
Is there a way to see exactly what effects auto color is using to achieve its results?
If so I could manually go in and apply the effects and avoid some of the strobing etc. that auto color creates.
Is this possible?
Thanks,
V.
PS I intend to try and learn some of the manual correctors better however I am color blind so auto color is helpful to me for quick fixes.
The "strobbing" in the Auto correction Effects, Color, Levels, Highlight & Shadow, seems to appear, whenever there is any change in lighting/exposure. They appear to work pretty well with a locked-down camera, with manual exposure, no change the WB and not change to lighting. However, if there is any change, then the strobbing occurs. It reminds me of the old days, with servo-apertures in early auto-exposure lenses, where when the lighting changed, even just a bit, the auto-exposure function would "seek," until it zeroed in on the aperture setting that satisfied its circuits. That "seeking" cause a strobbing, or pulsing, and was very off-putting. Auto-exposure is much better nowadays, and this is seldom seen, or at least noticed. Still, manual exposure is always better.
Not sure where one would get that "under the hood" look at Auto Color though.
Harm has a great idea in post 8, and that would be very helpful.
Good luck,
Hunt

Color management issue: What am I doing wrong?
Ok, the problem is pretty simple to explain;
In Bridge CS5's "Creative Suite Color Settings..." I select "Europe Prepress 3" and hit apply.
No problems thus far, it does set the same setting across InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator.
Looking at the color settings in Photoshop, it says "Preserve Embedded" for CMYK sources, which is correct. Checking in InDesign however, the same setting (CMYK profile handling) is set to "Preserve Numbers". No matter what I do, this problem persists. I can of course manually set it to "Preserved Embedded Profiles", but that kind of defeats the purpose of using Bridge for syncing the color settings if it can't be trusted.

How can I see exactly what is in "Other"?
I've read countless threads about the ongoing problem of the "other" category being inflated on iPhones. At this point, I would be content if I could just see the exact contents of this "other" category.
Let me be clear: I am fully aware that the stated purpose of the "other" category is emails, calendars, notes, text messages, some app data, "everything that is not 'audio, photos, or apps'". About a month ago I did a complete restore of my iPhone as new, to wipe out the ~5GB of "other" that I could not remove otherwise. Tonight I plugged in my iPhone to iTunes for the first time since the restore, and my "other" category is a whopping 3.17GB.
The most frustrating part about this is that I cannot find a way to view all the data stored on my iPhone in its entirety. If I go to "My Computer" and treat it as a flash drive, it says there's only 3GB left of 13.47GB but the only visible folder inside contains a mere 2.25GB of data. I have tried to show any hidden folders, but there are none that Windows recognizes.
I have downloaded several pieces of third-party software in an effort to find an accurate representation of the data on my iPhone. One such application, "iFunbox", seemed promising, as I selected the "Raw File System" view. However, the folders only took up 5.5GB of space.
There has to be another way to clear "other" than restoring a phone as new.No other way other than restore
Other data
Should only be about 1GB and larger than this may indicate corrupt data

To get rid of it you need to Restore not from a backup

How can I see exactly what time messages are sent or received from IPhone 4
Is there any way to view exact times that messages are sent and received from an iPhone 4 running iOS 7?
If you are using iOS 7, then slide the text bubble to the left and you can see the time stamp to the right of the bubble.

Exactly what DV format does Final Cut Capture?
Hello, prepare to be amazed by my ignorance.
I just about to buy Final Cut Pro for my G5 and my Intel MacBook.
I have an old Canon XM1 (GL1 in the U.S.) and I noticed that I can capture direct from the camera in iMovie, without have to use the tape. I've been told that this is 'reduced bandwidth DV' and that only Final Cut Pro can capture raw DV.
My questions are these, will I be able to capture raw DV from my Canon XM1 (GL1), direct to my machine, using Final Cut Pro?
Also, if not, what is the quality of 'reduced bandwidth DV' compared to the compression of Mini DV? I know that iMovie direct captured 'RBW' DV has some audio issues but this isn't important as I am re-dubbing.
Thanks for your time.
Steven
Intel MacBook Pro and G5 Mac OS X (10.4.9)Hello again...
DV is DV and is already compressed. It is compressed in the camera when you film, so the data that actually goes onto the tape is 'raw', compressed DV data.... and has a compression ratio of 5:1
I think you've picked up the term 'compressed miniDV' from somewhere and let it get stuck in your brain.
miniDV is the format, and like i said, it is compressed, but that is the nature of the technology.
When you work in iMovie, it captures the DV in a different way, creating a different type of DV file than Final Cut... is has the .dv extension. Now, i'm not a regular user of iMovie, so won't mislead you, but i believe that the iMovie DV data is missing timecode info, and other little idiosyncracies. This might be where you are getting mixed up... it's not the DV format that is different, but the software you are bringing it in to that is different,
Remember... iMovie and Final Cut Pro are very different applications... -
Any way to see exactly what the battery level is?
The little icon just doesn't do it. Any tools to see the percentage?
Not without hacking it, and in my experiences with Blackberries and such changes, it doesn't really help much.
It's meant to be an estimate rather than a truly-accurate meter.

It's really annoying that in firefox you need to type two letters, then go down using the arrow and then hit enter.
In safari it's easy: you type two letters and the url and just hit enter.Firefox 3.6 requires at least OS X 10.4, the last version that works on OS X 10.3.9 is Firefox 2.0.0.20 available from ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/2.0.0.20/mac/en-US/

When I put the Auto Color effect onto a clip, it does an extremely good job of correcting colour but the movie clip (1080p from a Canon dSLR) then appears to flicker, even after rendering? Does anybody know what I need to do to correct this?
Thanks.Most of the "Auto" Effects suffer from what you describe. They really only work so long as everything, the exposure, the lighting, everything, is uniform for the whole Clip.
Most use one of the Color Correction Effects, and not Auto Color, Auto Levels, etc.
About the only way to get the Auto Color to function, when the Clip is not uniform, is to Razor the Clip, when there are change in lighting, or exposure, but that is tedious.
Good luck,

Unable to delete email from trash bin. How do I do this? If I select and chose delete, it doesn't. What am I doing wrong? My grand daughte is using my iPad and I don't want her to see some of the mail there.
There are two ways that should work. When you are in the trash folder, you can swipe on the email in the list - left to right - and a red Delete button should pop up. Or you can select - Edit - at the top of the list of messages and then select the message and tap delete.
Not sure exactly how this works - but if you have restrictions enabled - especially since you let your grandchild use the device - that may be restricting what you can do in the mail app. Go to Settings>General>Restrictions. If you have it set to on - turn it off or see if you have mail restricted. -
Photoshop color settings - what is Photoshop doing?
Hello, I'm trying to understand how converting to different color profiles within Photoshop works.
What I'm trying to understand is why, when I have a document saved in with an embedded color profile of "Adobe RGB (1998)", when I *convert* the color profile to "Adobe RGB (1998)" (the same profile) the colors change dramatically. If I am converting to the same color profile, shouldn't the colors remain the same, and not change?
Please note, I'm not having any problems, just trying understand what Photoshop is doing. Thanks for any help!This is what I'm seeing, the original image is on the left, the preview image is on the right. Once I click ok, I'm left with the original image. This happens consistently whenever I convert a color profile to itself. Thanks for all your help!

does the macbook have a screen cover that makes it so the person next you cannot see what you are doing?
Hello 23435,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that your iPhone was knocked out of your hand and now it displays blue and black colors on the display. It does sound like this iPhone may need to be evaluated for service. If you would like more information about this process, please refer to the attached web link below.

When I turn on my iPad the grey 'brightness slider' is in the centre of the screen and I can't get rid of it. I've tried switching on / off 'auto-brightness' in 'settings' but it won't go away. What am I doing wrong? Any advice gratefully received.
That folder with the question mark icon means that the MacBook can't find the boot directory. That can either mean it can't find the hard drive or the Operating System data on the hard drive is somehow corrupted.
Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option key until the Install Disk shows up). That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
If it is then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions.
If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead. -
Error Message, during installation of Lion; “This disk is not formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled). Use Disk Utility to enable journaling or reformat the disk.” The disk I selected to install OS X on, was the only one listed, “Macintosh HD”. The results of a Disk Utility check are; Format: Mac OS Extended (journaled), Name: Macintosh HD. There is a fresh Time Machine backup. The computer was Restarted and installation attempted again - same result. I have downloaded Lion a second time, and tired install again, same results. The computer is a December 2007, iMac 24” with 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB Memory, s/w version 10.7.5; Disk Capacity 319 GB, Available 117 GB. Macintosh HD has alway been the system disk, does it now have an identity crisis? Would reformatting the disk mean Erasing it? Exactly what do I do in Disk Utility to “reformat” the disk, I don’t see that listed on the menus. This computer is getting cranky, I no longer Shut Down at night, only Sleep. If it’s Shut Down, the next morning I am treated to a white screen, for a long time, before it finally shows me the Log On Screen. Suggestions would be appreciated.
RRFS - This took me a long time to finally get to a fix. Your reply led me to investigate the Repair Disk Partition - as it turned out there wasn't one; the HardDrive was going bad slowly. The 10 to 40 minutes it took to startup in the morning, was the HD trying to find it's way. I had the 320GB HD replaced with a 2TB HD. All is OK now. Thank You very much!! Also, the Apple store geeks couldn't make it better but the locally owned Apple retailer did just great with it. from San Luis Obispo County - Peace.
