Best color settings for LG led monitor?

Hi,
I am using my macbook in clamshell mode with my LG 22 inch E2260 LED monitor over DVI and today I learnt that the factory settings for the monitor are not optimum for use with my macbook. perhaps they must have been set for pcs. there was a pink hue in the display. at the moment i'm using these settings...
color temp: sRGB
brightness 100
contrast 70 (grayed out)
sharpness 5
black level low (grayed out)
can u tell me which is the best setting.
in Lion it has been set to automatically choose the color profile for my monitor.

  • Best color settings for document view?

    Which is best color settings for different document formats with the same color profile?
    There are Tiff and Pdf documents with same color profile but look different.
    Thanks!

    Bridge is file browser with custom preview options, but it's not a pre-press examination application. Just don't use it for that purpose.
    P.S. First one is the best as far as I see. I don't like ruined «A» in second example. If you want to get more ballance, you can shift the left side also a bit.

  • Photoshop Color Settings for Wide Gamut Monitor

    Hey guys,
    I have a wide gamut monitor (HP LP2475w) which has already been calibrated. My question isn't so much about that, but the settings I should be using inside of Photoshop (CS5). As far as color settings (ctrl+shift+k) goes, what am I supposed to use? I have sRGB as the rgb working space right now. (never use CMYK), Gray % Spot = dot gain 20%, and preserve profiles are ticked on for all 3. Am I supposed to be using Adobe RGB in RGB working space to get the most out of my monitor? I'm asking because it would be embarrassing if I had a wide gamut monitor and am working within a sRGB color cap. Please enlighten me with the proper photoshop color settings, so that it works well across the board (browser compatibility, etc)
    As a FYI, I am a professional digital artist who specialize in illustrations for print campaigns. So far from what I've seen, whatever's been printed out of what I produce from this monitor has come out pretty much looking the same, so I'm not worried about that. Again, I just want to make sure I'm not careless and am using settings which doesn't make use of a wide gamut monitor.
    Thanks for your input in advance!

    I think a lot of users believe that the Color Settings have much bigger role than what they actually do most of the time.
    When working with images you have to be always aware about the color space the image is currently displayed in.
    In Photoshop the displayed color space of an image is obtained in  the following order of priority:
    1. from the choice in View > Proof Setup  menu when the View > Proof Colors is checked.
    2. when the Proof Colors is off,  from the embedded profile.
    3. when the Proof Colors is off and when  the image is without a  color   profile (untagged)  from the Working  Color space selected in  the  Color  Settings.
    This image  shows how to check the color profile of an image - I keep it permanently on.
    As you can see, the color spaces selected for working spaces in the  Color settings affect the display of images only when they are untagged (without color profiles). The color settings also set the default choice of a color space when you create a new document but you can always select another color space form the Advance section of the dialog that appears when you choose File > New. You can also assign a color space to any image by using Edit > Assign Profile. So, if you never work with untagged images, you really don't need to care at all what your working spaces in your Color Settings are set to. You can use the Color Management Polices in the Color settings as a tool that will ask you what to do when you have profile mismatch when you paste. Personally I never use these because I'm always aware of the color space of the pasted content. Also the conversion method set in the Color Settings will be used when pasting. If you want different conversion method paste the content in a new document created with the color space of the clipboard content and then choose Edit > Convert to Profile and after that copy and paste in the desired document with the same color space.

  • Best color settings for my Dell 3760 in InDesignCC

    I'm trying to figure out the best way to handle this printer on my Mac (os 10.7.5). As far as I can tell the printer has real Adobe PostScript 3 (at least the test page features the Adobe logo)
    It didn't come with an ICC profile, and I'm just not sure how to proceed. If I let InD manage the color, what cmyk profile should I select?
    If I save to PDF x/4 and print from Acrobat, how do I make sure I'm not "double managing" the color? The print dialogue for the Dell has 2 choices for color matching: "ColorSync" or "In printer" -  neither seems right! I do notice a "invalidate color profile" check box is available in one of the print dialogue panels. Perhaps that's what I want?
    Acrobat asks for an "output intent", but I don't know what to select: "Generic CMYK" or what?
    Thanks for any tips.

    the latest driver/software suite from Dell is for MAC OS 10.8 (don't know if this will work for 10.7.5).
    you should have the driver and PPD (you need a PPD) installed for your 3760 and you need to set this up in Indesign.
    as far as cmyk profile to select--see attached images--(try some of these settings).note the Acrobat message

  • Best color settings for printer

    I'm creating a newsletter for a group my organization works with. They want to include tons of pictures which I am editing in Photoshop CS4.
    We have a toshbia printer/ copier in our office that runs on CMYK. I converted all the images to CMYK (SWOP) hoping they would print more clearly. However, the colors are seriously off and all the images come out incredibly blurry. Everything else is printing very crisp. Is this a color issue or a printer issue? Anyone know how I can get better quality with correct colors?
    Thanks!

    What makes you think this is a CMYK printer? Is it driven by a Postscript RIP?
    Even though they all use CMYK toners or inks, non-Postscript printers and copiers are considered RGB devices and expect to receive RGB data, which they convert internally using their own conversion tables. If you send CMYK to such printers it gets converted back to RGB and then to CMYK a second time.
    If this really is a Postscript CMYK device, the odds are pretty good that SWOP is not the optimal profile to match. It's also important that you decide where color managemtn will take place, in ID or in the printer, and disable the other option during printing. In other word, if you choose Let InDesign Determine Colors youmust turn off and printer color management in the printer controls, or if you choose Postscript Printer Determines Colors you should be sure there is color management in the printer that is enabled.

  • What are the best export settings for a HD video in Premier Pro CS4?

    Hi!
       I've been having so much trouble with this issue and it's something that continually frustrates my boss. I have a HD video the settings for it are
    FPS 23.98
    1920 x 1080, then a few lines down it says 1408 x 792
    16 bit,
    2 channels
    48000 Hz
       What should the settings be when I make a new sequence?
                 When I look at it in the window in Premiere Pro I have to contantly 'shrink' the image to fit the window, is that something I should be doing or does it indicate the sequence settings are incorrect?
    But more importantly what should the export settings be? I exported a 4 minute long video and the size was 1 GB, I know that's too big.
    I need to export it without loosing any quality and export another one that meets the Youtube and Vimeo limits on size.
    Vimeo is 500 MB per week, sometimes I upload 4 videos per week. I think Youtube you can only upload 500 MB at a time.
    I need to get smaller sizes with loosing the least amount of quality possible AND the best export settings for quality, so I guess I have 3 separate questions-
    What are the best sequence settings for HD video?
    What are the best export settings for HD without loosing any quality?
    What are the best export settings for the size to come out around 500 MB with loosing the least amount of quality possible?
    Thank You!

    On the above thread I used the 5th anwer, and it's going to take about 7 hours to export a 4 minute video :/

    It Stands for "Coder Decoder."
    Your format is like a container for your video file. Certain containers can hold certain codecs and not others. Other containers can hold other codecs. Sometimes different containers can hold the same codecs.
    This might be a bad analogy but I'll give it a try.
    A coffe cup (container) can hold pretty much any liquid you drink, where a red solo cup (container) won't hold scolding water. So, the coffe cup would be your container of choice most likely because it has the most options for liquids (codecs). But, you might want a red solo cup for just a single crappy beer at a party (a moderate quality streaming video on the web). In that case, you don't need all the optoins of another container.
    In Premiere Pro CC H.264 is a Container and the Codec in one option. This has been streamlined for web distrobution of video to be played in browsers without things like Flash or special players.
    Were as if you choose the QuickTime Container there are over 40 codec optoins (at least on my machine with additinal ones installed) but you may run into an issue where your browser doesn't support QuickTime playback.
    I would say that your container is for compatability with players and your codec is taken into consideration when looking at the quality of the compression.
    Yesteraday I wrote a blog entery on Exporting from Premiere Pro and found that the MPEG-4 codec inside of the QuickTime container gave me much richer colors than the H.264 container/codec option.

  • What are the best optimization settings for Logic 9....

    Hey guys,
    I am running Logic 9 on a Macbook Pro 2.53GHz, Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM, OSX 10.6.4, with a AK1 soundcard. And I was wondering what the best optimization settings for this setup are?
    I have been having a few issues with drop outs in sound during playback, which is also carried over when i bounce the audio. I did some research and found my latency settings needed to be higher, so I set the I/O buffer size to 512. I am also running all samples from the local hdd, I was thinking maybe put the samples on an external drive. I also changed Logic 9 to 64bit mode.
    Does anyone know if this is right and anything else I need to do with Logic and/or the AK1??

    First, return to 32-bit mode. 64 bit still has some ß-issues and some features that are not working/disabled, and the only perk of 64-bit is that Logic can adress more than 4 GB RAM, which you don't have anyway.
    Samples on the startup drive is not a problem, unless you start using really big third party sample libraries, or zillions of EXS instruments. Some of the Logic content insists on residing on the startup disk anyway, better leave that where it is.
    If you have an external, use that to store your Logic projects, or, in other words, make it your recording disk (as recordings are stored in the project folder). You do record audio too, I assume? Anyway, if you get an external, make it a FireWire one, not USB. FireWire is much easier on the CPU, and +for audio (and sample-) streaming+ more reliable and faster than USB.
    If dropouts you hear during playback also show up in the (offline?) bounce, it is probably not a buffer issue, as the buffer is irrelevant for bouncing offline.
    So how many tracks and what kind of tracks in this project? Which plugins and how many instances of them?

  • Best export settings for video for web

    Can anyone give me some advice on the best export settings for a short video that is to be viewed on the web? I have some short, say 2 minute videos that need to be placed on a website and need a reasonable file size. What would the best Format and Preset options be in Premiere? Would it be helpful to utilize After Effects to reduce file size? Thank you in advance to anyone who has some advice!!

    For now, it would be on my own website or a clients website. But there may
    be another possibility, I have a client that already has some videos
    available for viewing on their website, looks like they are YouTube videos
    that play on their site, and there is an option to "Watch on YouTube". So I
    guess I would love some recommended export settings for a straightforward
    video clip on my website, and if I need to explore the YouTube preset in
    Premiere, let me know. Thank you, I really appreciate your answers and
    help!!

  • Best export settings for HD video playback on computer?

    I have shot my video on 1080p witha DSLR and edited it in premiere pro. I exported the video in .mp4 format.
    Now i imported the video in after effects and added loads of animation. I want to export it to the best quality for playback ON COMPUTER ONLY. Which is the best export settings for this purpose.
    I rendered it in .avi and my 12 minute video had a size of 55GB after render and did not play smoothly in the computer.. PLEASE HELP WITH THE BEST SETTINGS for the above purpose.

    You messed up. You should NOT have rendered MP4 out of Premiere to use in AE. You're adding compression and quality loss in between stages. BAD video person!
    The easiest thing to do would be to import your Premiere project in AE. That way it can use the original footage too. If, for some reason, you can't do that, you should render a lossless file out of Premiere. Speaking of lossless files, that's what you rendered out of AE. This page explains your large AE file issue.
    Anyway, take that large file you render out of AE into the Adobe Media Encoder and render out your final compressed file. Either H.264 or WMV should work well for playback.

  • Xcode 3.2.6 best build settings for Mac

    Ok. That's what I was affraid about. So if I want to go further, I have to learn AppleScriptObjC.
    But the learning curve…

  • Best Video Settings For The iPad.

    Hi everyone,
    Does anyone know this ? "Best Video Settings For The iPad".
    Kindly and in simple terms state the best possible settings to be use when converting videos for the iPad that optimizes the entire screen size/ area without a black borderline around your video. it's rather frustrating to have many technical jargons online without anyone giving real pointers at real values in conversion settings.
    Thanks in anticipation.

    Kindly and in simple terms state the best possible settings to be use when converting videos for the iPad that optimizes the entire screen size/ area without a black borderline around your video.
    It is impossible to answer your question without knowing both the aspect ratio of the source file and your personal preferences for displaying it on a 4:3 iPad screen.
    Basically, you have two options here when converting files of one aspect ratio for display on a screen of another aspect. You can distort the original display to "fill" the ipad screen. (E.g., you can make a widescreen movie exactly fill your iPad screen but then people and objects will look tall and skinny.) The other option is to convert at the original aspect ratio and simply use the iPad "zoom" option to force your widescreen movie to fill your 4:3 screen by scaling the height of your movie to fill the screen and allowing the left and right edges of you movie to be cropped from your view. You have no other choices here other than living with the defaulted black areas.

  • For my power shot S5IS, best camera settings for 4 X 6 prints?

    for my power shot S5IS, best camera settings for 4 X 6 prints? I would like to have the best setting so when i print out the photos,i do not need to crop or trim. It is close, but i feel it can be better.

    The bad news is that you can't do anything in camera to get that result. The good news is that once you understand the possibilities you'll appreciate being able to control how your prints get framed (cropped). Your camera produces images in a 3:4 ratio while a 4 X 6 is a 2:3 ratio so if you don't know in advance that you need to crop some from the top, bottom, or both to make your image fit the 2:3 ratio & frame too tightly when taking the photo you're in trouble. Learn to shoot in a way that allows cropping to match common print sizes, and find a simple editing program to crop in computer. This should be standard practice because even though you may want a 4 X 6 now down the road you might want a 5 X 7 so keep your options open. 
    If you don't have an editing program that easily does this & you're on a PC download Picasa which is an excellent program for this & it's free. Once you have it running select one of your existing photos, select "crop" from the menues on the first tab & then play around with the different options Picasa has built in to see the effects to your image. NOTE that it won't throw away the data outside the crop box even though it may look like it has. You always have the option to "undo crop". Once you get a result you like you "export"  & create a new file cropped as seen on screen WITHOUT modifying the original file.
