Bad color in PSE working window

When I bring up an image to edit in PSE it's always dark and off toward the red or orange. But, when Iook at that same inage file with another inage viewing program, then the colors look alright. Can someone tell me how to fix this?
I have attatched a screen grab that contains a portion of an image in PSE and a portion in Windows Picture and Fax viewer. The color looks more normal in the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer.
Any words of wisdom on this?

It's most likely that your color-rendering issue is caused by a defective color profile; Samsung is one of several display vendors that install bad profiles. Windows can sometimes balk at letting your remove the display profile, and it's easy to make a mistake following the instructions for removal.
I recommend not setting PSE to No Color Management -- this strips the color profile from your photos when you save them. The color profile (usually sRGB) tells programs and printers how to interpret the color numbers in a photo; but when you remove the profile, they have to make a guess as to how to interpret the colors, and they can guess wrong.
By default, most Windows programs and printers will use ("assume") sRGB for images that don't have a profile. So if you set PSE to No Color Management, you may never experience a problem with misinterpretation of colors in your photos. However, Mac OS 10 does not assume that images without a profile are sRGB -- so it's entirely likely that your edited images will display incorrectly on Macs.
Further, if someone sends you images tagged with the Adobe RGB profile, PSE set to No Color Management will very likely not display them properly. (With the advent of raw, it seems that fewer people are taking pics with their camera set to Adobe RGB, but there are still posts on the forum from people using Adobe RGB.)

Color Sampler not working outside my window! Urgent, please help!

I just installed Photoshop on my Surface Pro 3. I am doing a presentation in a few hours where I will need to be able to demonstrate the use of the Color Sampler outside the window. It doesn't work. It goes up to the edge of the workspace but does not sample beyond that. I've tried using the pen, the trackpad and the mouse. None of them work. If I try to do it on my Windows 8.1 desktop, it works fine. Help!

Just looked into this and have found a resolution. Always learning new tricks!! So forgive me I was wrong in the first post.
You CAN do it by clicking within the workspace and then dragging outside so continually holding down then letting go outside the workspace.

Printing to an Epson R2880 results in bad color (only from Adobe SW)

I've had a nice workflow that I've used for years. I'm sure many of you would find it a bit tedious and I won't go into the details of it, but the important part is that I always printed out of Photoshop (CS6 Extended - now at 13.0.3 - yes I have the stupid Trial window bug, but that's another matter). My monitors are profiled (no custom printer profiles, but I've downloaded appropriate profiles from PixelGenius for those times when I've needed them, and with my color management my prints have been fairly accurate. I use and Epson Stylus Photo R2880 and I've been very happy with it. I mainly work on a 24" iMac (2009 vintage). Recently I decided to change my workflow entirely based on some of the tutorial videos I've purchased from LL. I decided I was ready to integrate much more LR into the workflow, especially now that it includes soft proofing. Because of the new workflow I was really looking forward to printing out of LR. That should more or less get you current.
To date, I haven't printed with my new workflow and I'd say I haven't printed anything since 13.0.1 on PS and 4.1 on LR (not that I was printing from LR at the time). Having not printed in a while I knew I'd need a head cleaning (sure enough I did) and, as is my habit, once the head was clean, I printed (from LR) a 4x6 of the image I planned on printing at a larger size. It catches any lingering gunk after a cleaning. The print just didn't look right to me (too dark and the colors were a little off). I've encountered prints with bad colors once before and it turned out to be a driver issue. In the process I found a great image that is indicative of some kind of problem and I keep both good and bad prints of it handy... just in case. I decided to print this image, and sure enough it came out looking like the standard craptastic version I was getting with the bad driver ages ago. Just to check out that it didn't have to do with my new process, I printed the same image from PS (which worked fine last time I printed this image). It too came out all wrong (the same all wrong as LR). Since the bad prints looked just like the old "bad driver" prints, I figured I knew what was going on and worked with Epson to reset my print pipeline and reinstall my printers (I also have a Workforce 845 for "throw away" printing and for my wife to use).
With new installs for my printers in place I went ahead and printed again... and again it came out wrong. I was, to say the least, despondent. As a final sanity check I loaded the image up in Nikon Capture NX2 (version 2.3.1) and did a print. All of a sudden the print came out perfect. It matched my old "good" prints and, just as importantly, was a dead ringer for the image on the screen. This is where I find myself. Apparently color management is broken in my Adobe products, but works fine in my Nikon software. I'm at a bit of a loss. I'm 99.999999999% sure that I'm printing out of LR, and especially PS, correctly. Anyone have any ideas? I'd love to be able to print again. Printing out of Capture NX2 is really not a great option.
Thanks in advance,
David

I agree this whole issue is confusing. I have been on the issue (proper printer driver behavior and proper application behavior) using Apple's new print path for a few years now, so I will try to make an attempt to clear up as much confusion as possible.
If drivers and applications are working (written) properly this is how it is supposed to work.
When printer manages color is selected in an application print dialog then all functions of the printer driver are available.
When applications manages color is selected then Color Matching is grayed out defaulted to ColorSync, and the property written print driver defaults to No Color Adjustment (Epson) or No Color Correction (Canon).
See attached examples of both Epson 9600 driver version 8.19 and Canon iPF driver version 2.14.
Epson can and has definitely gotten it right with their latest drivers.
Canon on the other hand uses a special case file (AppColorMatchingInfo.xml) which list the applications that use Apple's new printing path. New application like Photoshop CS5 will need to be added to this file or the driver will default to color management when application manages color is chosen which results in double profiling.
I see nothing that indicates to me that neither Apple or Adobe have problems or bugs in this printflow. Only drivers (and old drivers) that are not written correctly for Apple's new printing path seem to have these problems with double profiling. That being said, do I agree with Apple's approach regarding the new print path? NO. It appear to be an attempt to idiot proof printing using application manages color printing, although it is claimed to be necessary for 64-bit applications. I personally would prefer to use the old print path (like still available in Indesign) where all options are available in the driver regardless of what CM setting I choose in the application print dialog. But it is what it is.

Bad color after exporting in iMovie 11

I just got a Macbook Air (mid 2012 model) mainly for iMovie and I have to say I'm disappointed with the export quality.
I tried the standard export option and that results in a low bitrate washed out(color) video.
I tried just about every other option in the 'export with quicktime' including increasing the saturation using the filter menu.
But every option results in a video that has really bad color It's messed up and has a 'blackish' look. WHat I mean is that red lips look a little brownish pink, colors and blacks are darkened, they lack the shine the original vid had.
In iMovie, everything looks great. Can somebody please help me out?
The animation codec resulted in a 16gb file for a 3min vid but the colors were normal. But when I played it back in Windows 7, the colors were messsed up again.
Can someone please tell me the settings (when exporting in iMovie) for the best quality when played back on a PC?

Fortunately you didn't do anything wrong. Unfortunately iMovie is not geared towards import and editing of MiniDV video the way it used to be.
DV video shot on a MiniDV camera has lines of video 'interlaced' with one another. So you half the video lines at any one time and your brain combines them up into a smooth looking image. Ever since iMovie '08 came out including later versions ('09,'11), on importing the DV/MiniDV format or any video with interlaced lines of video iMovie drops, or deletes 1 whole set of scanlines. That means 1/2 of the video signal is discarded on importing it into iMovie.Then it attempts to 'regenerate' the missing video by 'doubling up' the video lines that still exist. Unfortunately the side effect of this process is quality visually is degraded, suffers and people are unhappy. The benefit to iMovie, the Macintosh and Apple is it's easier to 'playback' and preview the video as you skim it on the timeline. And it works on even the less expensive, less powerful macintoshes available on the market. You don't need the most expensive powerful Mac Pro to get good performance out of iMovie now. So that's the compromise and trade-off working with interlaced video on any version of iMovie made since roughly 2007. Prior versions of iMovie like iMovie HD 6 were very tailored to MiniDV camera video and were able to maintain the interlaced video data by design.

"iTunes has stopped working" Windows 7 - Problem and Solution

Problem:
When I moved my iTunes library from Windows XP Pro to Windows 7 Pro, iTunes would always crash. The "Detail" on the error message referred to
Fault Module Name = Quicktime.qts
To troubleshoot I deleted the iTunes Libray.itl file in the user profile. Then I would "Add Folder" and point to my iTunes directory to rebuild the library. I then noticed it would always crash on the same song when "Processing Artwork".
The problem was caused by specific .mp4 song files that I had purchased from iTunes.
Solution:
This is not easy but it works . . The bad .mp4 files still work in iTunes on Windows XP. So in iTunes on Windows XP, right-click > Info > Artwork > remove the artwork from the .mp4 file. Then move the file to your Windows 7 computer and load it into iTunes. It now works without crashing. You can then add the artwork again from iTunes or from a .jpg off of Google Images.
Fix your .mp4 files one at time until there are none left that cause the crash. Remember you find them by processing the artwork . . the bad file will show in the little windows at the top of iTunes after the crash.
I am not an iTunes expert as such . . maybe there is another way to remove and replace the bad images from the .Mp4 files purchased from iTunes other than using iTunes on XP.

Does HP Color Laserjet 2840 work with Lion?

I am considering upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion. Will my HP Color Laserjet 2840 work after the upgrade?

I don't know if you have sorted this but I posted this elsewhere on the Forum. I have my HP 2840 working fine in Lion. Occasionally the Director software fires up and can't find the printer so I just turn the printer off then on and everything works OK.
I got a reply from HP who said that they don't make the printer any more and so don't support it. It will only fax and print.
Here is my post:
Has anybody had the frustrating time that I have trying to get their precious HP LaserJet all-in-one scanner/fax/printer working under Lion?
I have spent ages looking over the net and on HP's own site and worked out that formally Apple and HP only support printing on these machines now. The so-called in-built functionality of Lion using Image Capture or Preview etc simply won't work with the HP2840: the HP2840 does not appear as a scanner.
Anyhow, I also found that the HP site does not sem to have the old drivers any more but fortunately I had them backed up in Time Machine so I found the old driver (LJMFP28x0OSX10.5Update-v8.2.dmg).
I tried just running install but it falls over quickly as the 'Start here" link is broken. So I dug around the package and found an install app calle Aio. I ran this and after what seemed ages of countless loops and after the installation program closed down every other app running (I've never seen apps closed so quickly but this may be a Lion thing) the Mac re-booted.
And hey presto! My scanner appears to be working. When it has finished I get the "HP Scan quit unexpectedly" window come up. But otherwise everything seems OK. I then ran the Mac software update and it (re-) installed the HP driver updates and the HP Director program still works and scanning is still available.
If anyone else needs the .dmg file let me know and I will uplaod it somewhere. I assume you can post here and I will be notified.
If someone knows more about this problem or can even get HP to do something better about the (lack of) support I'd be delighted to know.
Good luck!

Can I get the Apple Color Picker in CS5 Windows?

HI -
I'm a lifetime Mac and long time PShop user transplanted into a Windows shop. Of all the things that I miss on my new workplace platform, the Apple Color Picker is the one that I encounter most often.
Is there a plug-in, an extension, is there some way, ANY WAY, that I could have the Apple CP to use on a Windows version of CS5?? It might seem like a trivial issue to Windows users but to a transplanted Mac user - it's a major one.
TIA your input.
JL

You probably already know your choices, as provided by Photoshop on a Windows system, are only Adobe and Windows per the Edit - Preferences - General tab.
It may be possible some 3rd party could have invented an Apple Color Wheel work-alike, but I have never run across one. Try a Google search for:
color wheel picker Photoshop windows
Such a search turns up stuff like:
http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/colortoolswin/Color_Pickers_and_Color_Tools_for_Windows.h tm
and
http://www.anastasiy.com/panels
If you don't find one you like, you're probably best off just trying to get used to the Adobe color picker; it will afford you some system-independence for the future, should you switch back to Mac.

Mac v6.1 Bg color picker not working?

I am new to this application and working through the
tutorial, and my version is outdated, yea I know, but maybe there
is something simple I am missing here...
When I select a table cell and click on the Bg icon to change
the background color, it brings up the color pallete, I get the
eyedropper tool, and if I mouseover colors on the screen it shows
the color code in the window at the top of the color pallete, but I
am unable to click anywhere on the screen and have it actually grab
that color....I just get an error chime. I can use the color
pallete OK, and can even type in the color code manually that I am
trying to pick up, but geez, that's a pain. Anyone aware if this is
a known problem or if there is a solution?

I've confirmed the color picker bug in 10.6.6. I filed a bug report.
Copy of my report:
Summary: The color picker dialog reports incorrect values on the RGB slider, using DigitalColor Meter as a reference. On the RGB sliders, the picker can fix itself if you use the spyglass on the test color patch.
However, the "web safe colors" Color Palette also has problems. The color names do not match the values reported by DigitalColor Meter.
This is reproducible on both my and my wife's mbp 5,5 13"
Steps to Reproduce:
a) for the RGB sliders:
1) Quit TextEdit if open
2) Open TextEdit
3) menu, choose: Format->Fonts->Show Colors
4) Using RGB sliders, pick Red=50, Blue=0, Green=0 (DO NOT TYPE, USE THE SLIDERS)
5) open DigitalColor Meter
6) chose RGB as Actual Value, 8-bit on Digital Color Meter.
7) Hover over test patch on color picker dialog of textedit.
b) for the "web safe colors" palette
1) Quit TextEdit if open
2) Open TextEdit
3) menu, choose: Format->Fonts->Show Colors
4) Using the Color Palettes, choose "web safe colors".
5) open DigitalColor Meter
6) chose RGB as Hex Value, 8-bit on DigitalColor Meter
7) Hover over the selection patches on the color picker dialog of textedit.
Expected Results:
for a) the rgb sliders, DigitalColor Meter will report 71,7,8 (instead of 50,0,0)
for b) looking at color "CCCCCC" DigitalColor Meter reports D4,D4,D4
Actual Results:
Regression:
I am using osx 10.6.6 as is my wife, problem appears on both computers. I first noticed this with the color picker invoked by OmniOutliner Pro 3.9.5, but reproduced with the color picker invoked by TextEdit.
I have color calibrated my screen with a huey pro, however switch back to the factory profile did not affect the "Expected Results:" shown above.

Export Flash image to Illustrator : bad colors and no transparency

I've tried to export my vector work from Flash to
Illustrator.
The result is bad : colors have faded and transparent colors
became opaque.
It is a shame that Flash doesn't provide a correct export

Illustrator now that Flash and Illustrator are both Adobe's
softwares.
Does somebody know a better way or software to export

You talking about the empty canvas border around the image? On a PC one would normally open a document in tabbed view, then right-click the mouse in the space around the outside of the document. Then you can change the color.
