Blown out Display

My display suddenly is washed out - can't even set the native white point in Calibrate - any suggestions?

Open the Universal Access pane of System Preferences, click on the Seeing tab, turn off White on Black, and drag the Contrast slider all the way to the left.

Blown out colour..

Hi all
Quick question i hope someone can help me with! im vey stuck now... at work we have a powermac g4 quiksilver and today, all of a sudden at 4.30pm upon restart the colour has become very bright and almost blown out to the point that the brushed metal windows have become white in places! the monitor settings havent been altered in any way.
We have now swapped monitors in the studio and this problem still occurs. I have also created a new account and that displays fine! bingo! i think weve fixed it... but i swap back over to the old account and the colour becomes blown again..
Whats the deal? is this fixable, surely its something simple or a corrupt file?
Any help would be a appreciated.
Thanks, James

I had a similar experience and it drove me nuts until I found the obscure solution.
It is possible that Universal Access has been turned on and the display settings have been altered. This happened to me without me being aware of it; either I inadvertantly hit the key combo or a bit got flipped.
Go to System Preferences --> Universal Access. Under "Seeing" there's a slider bar for Enhanced contrast. It should be set to "normal", but I'll bet yours is somehow set higher.
The clue is that a new user account didn't display the blown out color. Of course, if you don't think to look in Universal Access, you'll never find the solution. I really wish Apple had cross-indexed this part of Universal Access to the Displays panel.
Hope this helps!

All of the music on my Ipod Touch is blown out after I synched it with my new MacBook. I didn't get the 'synch' warning-- but now can't find my library of songs. I'm about to panic!

All of the music on my Ipod Touch is blown out after I synched it with my new MacBook. I didn't get the 'synch' warning-- but now can't find my library of songs. I'm about to panic!

The iPod backup that iTunes makes does not inlcuded synced media like apps and music. Thes those iTunes are not restored to the iPod unless they are in the iTunes library.
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:

Image from LR in blown out more in Bridge Camera Raw

Hello, thanks for reading...
I was just about to post this question, when I think I stumbled upon the answer, but I am not sure... so I decided to post anyway, for input.
After completing adjustments to my .cr2 (Canon 30D) images in LR 2.2, I decided to check my images in Bridge (CS2) Camera Raw, since my client uses that program. The highlights in my images are definitely more blown out than they appear in LR. I determined this by viewing the image with the highlight clipping turned on, and could see much more clipping in Camera Raw. I have turned off automatic tone adjustments in Camera Raw preferences. I am on an 2.4 ghz Intel iMac running 10.5.6, 4 gb ram.
What I finally noticed is that in the Camera Raw "work flow options" I had sRGB EIC61966-1 selected as the color space. When I switched it to ProPhotoRGB, the clipping was nearly identical to LR clipping. My client goes to print in Adobe1998, but that color space setting showed more clipping than LR. With ProPhotoRGB being the LR space, is this causing problems for my client?
I will be the first to admit that the topic of color space confuses me... any suggestions? (Besides the obvious, "read a book/ take a class/ suffer like the rest of us" suggestions...)
Thanks again, Jerry

Most welcome, and good luck.
If you do not get help in the Bridge Forum (do not know who the MOD's are there), please do not hesitate to ask that the post be Moved, to say the Adobe Camera RAW (ACR), or Photoshop Forum. That is easy for a MOD to do.
However, in your specific case, I could see three likely candidates for the post.
Still, Bridge Forum is a great place, and you should get help quickly. If not, just let one of us know, as we stand ready to help you, best we can.

Blown out images in ACR 6.7

I previously shot with a Canon 5D and had no problem using ACR.
Now, I purchased a Mark III. The histogram and flashing white highlights are perfectly exposed on camera. (And also in the Canon software). When I open in ACR 6.7 everything is totally blown out. Why? All updates are current for ACR and Photoshop (CS5). Help!

Your ACR tone settings seem like the normal defaults for Process Version 2010. The PV2012 in CS6/ACR7+ or LR 4+ have an automatic slight highlight compression that can’t be turned off, so would look better, and then the toning controls in PV1012 are superior according to most people.
I don’t have a 5D level camera, but according to the manual, ALO is on the second of four setup pages under the Camera settings tab, between ISO and WB. See page 144 in the PDF of the manual available, here:
http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/cameras/slr_cameras/eos_5d_mark_iii#Brochu resAndManuals
There is also Highlight Tone Priority that underexposes in the camera to preserve highlights, then digitally boosts the ISO on darker areas, to even out the exposure. If your pictures were too dark coming into LR that would be the problem but you’re having the opposite issue.
Are you judging your on-camera-screen exposure using the camera’s histogram or just by eyeballing the LCD rendition of the picture and lack of highlight warning blinking?
The Picture Style in the camera can also affect things and if particular colors are being clipped that can be the ACR camera profile you have selected.
Basically turn off everything in the camera that fixes things for JPGs or is some sort of brightness, contrast, or color customization beyond neutral settings (because those affect the in-camera preview, Canon-produced JPGs, but not raw files), and then perhaps set your camera profile in ACR to Camera Standard and see if things match better.
It is possible that your new camera has more dynamic range and ACR isn’t dealing with it any differently than your old camera but you’ll see more things clipped.
Without having the camera and raw files in ACR to play with, it’s hard to guess what might be occurring.
I would recommend updating to the current version of PS, which is either CS6 for $200 before the end of the year or CC which is $20/mo, $10/mo-first-year, to get the newer PV2012 toning model, or buy Lightroom for less than $200 and use Edit In Photoshop with LR Adjustments (rendered into TIFs on the way into PS).

Fix for Blown out footage?

Hello all.
I have to edit some footage shot by a cameraman who was basically clueless and did not know how to operate the iris on the camera... All of the people shot, look like ghosts.. the footage is very blown out...
I know there is no true fix to make the footage look 100% better, but there has to be some tweaking I can do...
I was just wondering if anyone has any experience repairing blown out footage and what exactly (filters, adjusting, etc.) they did to make it look somewhat better...
And suggestions would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks.
Justin

Justin,
More than likely, if the footage is way over exposed, there's no information there on the tape to actually do anything with. Try using the 3 way color corrector to see if you can do anything with brightness and contrast.
What was it shot on? Mini-dv? Betacam Sp? The better the quality format, the more information you may have laid to tape, which will help. (Better color sampling=More information to tape=better color correction ability)
Also, if that doesn't work, depending on the subject matter, you could possibly thinking about making it a really funky video. Thats usually not the best option, but if its a music video or something along those lines you might could tweak the color, to make it all purple or all green or something crazy, and/or do a negative effect on it. Or really funk it up with a old film look and stuff. I'm just throwing out suggestions. I hate doing that, cuz its usually way overdone, and I would consider it the very last option if you can't reshoot. But usually, if it looks like crap to begin with, you've got nothing to work with but crap.
Hope that helps,
Chris

Spooling the output of a Query with out displaying the rows

Hello All,
Is it possible to spool the output of
a query/dbms_output.put_line with out displaying
the Query output on the console.
In my case,list of rows in the output is huge, I want
to eliminate displaying the output of query
so that spooling will complete faster.
Thanks in advance.
-Srini

You can do:
SET TERMOUT OFFIn your script before doing the spool command.
You will have to write your query as a .SQL script and run it from SQL*Plus in order for it to work the way you expect.
sqlplus -s username/password @query_script.SQL

Saving jpegs or pdfs from aperture completely blown out since upgrade

since the upgrade to mavericks the saving on Aperture doesnt perform.
Highlights are blown out beyond recognition. Saving books ( pdfs to jpegs) - complete nightmare, can barely see the photo
Saving a jpeg - doesnt work - again highlights blow out picture beyond recognition.
You can see a vague outline of some of the picture but its like the luminence or exposure has been taken up 50 points.
I have noticed if i redit the photo from scratch then all if fine - but I cant do that with my workload - its like reediting a whole project - Anyone else got this stupid problem? Is there a CURE?

Saving books ( pdfs to jpegs) - complete nightmare, can barely see the photo
How are you saving your books? By printing the book to PDF?
Saving a jpeg - doesnt work - again highlights blow out picture beyond recognition.
And how are you saving jpegs? File > Export? And use a JPEG preset?
What is your Aperture 3 version, and what is your MacOS X version?
I suspect you are having a problem with a wrong color profile when saving your books or jpegs.
What is the color profile used in the Export Preset you are saving your JPEGs with? set the export Preset to "Edit" to be able to inspect the details.

Grey out / Display fields in BBPIV02 transaction

Hi,
What is best option to grey out/display some fields on Invoice BBPIV02 ?
Some of fields are from
1. Header level
2. Item overview
3. Item details
4. Search criteria screen etc
Any suggestions???
Regards,
Rahul Mandale

Hi,
   This is the sample code for Bid invitation screen fields:
*To make the TYPE OF PUBLICATION field under BASIC DATA tab in BI screen as display only
IF iv_fieldname = 'BBPS_BID_UI_HEADER-BID_TYPE'.
    cv_input_ready = c_space.
ENDIF.
*To make the responsible Purchasing organisation field display only
IF iv_fieldname = 'BBPS_BID_UI_HEADER-PROC_ORG'.
    cv_input_ready = c_space.
ENDIF.
*To make the responsible Purchasing Group field display only
IF iv_fieldname = 'BBPS_BID_UI_HEADER-PROC_GROUP'.
    cv_input_ready = c_space.
ENDIF.
*To hide the links for WEIGHTING and ANALYSES
IF iv_fieldname = 'SB_HWEIGHT'.
    cv_invisible = c_mark.
ENDIF.
HTH.
You can debug at runtime and see the structures and names for the fields/buttons as per the INVOICE screen.

When I open images in Photoshop CS6 they are completely blown out and color posterzation like appea

When I open my images in Photoshop CS6 they appear considerably blown out - none of the foreground has color and detail seen here-but you can see a posterize like appearancin the sky. The same thing is happening in Lightroom 5.

The work files are tiffs 16 bit - anything that opens in photoshop has the
same look -jpg,psd etc. My images are printed as digital C print by a lab.
I haven't intentionally changed anything since yesterday when I was editing
images. The appearance is the same in Lightroom where my digital image are
stored. I also have scanned film image that open in adobe camera raw.So
whatever is happening occurs both in Photoshop and lightroom.
You suggest a monitor setting, worth exploring, but could a monitor issue
affect only photoshop/lightroom doc.
Thanks to PhotoRoy

Nikon RAW NEF files have white balance blown out (iPhoto 7.1.4)

I had no problems opening my Nikon D200 RAW NEF files in iPhoto until about a month ago. I think I downloaded a patch for compatibility of camera files? After that when ever I open A raw file, the colors and white balance are blown out.

I was unable to get my images to appear as I shot them. I shoot with a Nikon D80 and shoot with a Vivid setting. Now after shooting a wedding of more than 1500 images I have to find a way to color correct them all. I have attempted the downgrade to the previous version, unsuccessful. I have forwarded on my comments to apple and find that this issue effects tens of thousands of photos. As a MFA student at a major university, and studying color management and workflow, I feel I need to look elsewhere for file management as iPhoto is not able to do the job and the fact that it affects my entire library system of photos... simply unacceptable. I have always found the discussion groups extremely helpful, but this issue has effected so many of us and is such a huge integral part of the photographic process that I need to look to other programs to effectively handle my color management.
Disappointing.

In premiere pro 2.0::: captured audio is blown out.

Audio was was recorded at wedding reception for dancing. There was a line out from DJ and a line from camera. Both sounded great when using headphones at reception.The two lines combined and formed one when capturing into a project in premiere. That wouldnt be a major problem if the audio didnt get blown out upon capturing.
My question is... Does anyone know how to reduce the bass in blown out audio to fix it and make it sound cleaner. Help would be appreciated.
Thank you. Provideo Productions. Merissa.(Editor).

The two lines combined and formed one when capturing into a project in premiere.
That just doesn't sound possible using Firewire. So I'd ask how exactly did you capture?

Need help with blown out highlights please

Hi. I am not very good with Photoshop and need some help on how to fix the blown out highlight areas of this photo, please. I've spent the past couple of hours trying to figure this out and have not found a good technique yet. Any help will be most appreciated.

First brighten the shot up using an adjustment layer and then brush your highlights back to where they are now. the fact your shot looks so dark,makes the bright areas more noticeable. if they are totally blown in the original,you cant get detail where it does not exist, but making the overall image brighter visually should help in my opinion.

7.2 Bug? Audio Levels Normalized to Max on Export - Blown Out Audio

Is anyone else experience an audio level shift upon export from Premiere Pro/Media Encoder CC 7.2? Since updating audio or video files I export (AIFF, WAV, h264, etc.) have the audio levels automatically increased, it appears maybe they are being automatically normalized to 0db. But, the increase results in blown out audio.
Pretty major issue if this is a bug. If it's a 'feature' anyone know how to turn it off?
I'm on a PC using Windows 7 64bit.
Update: The audio levels are not being normalized. The problem has to do with stereo audio tracks that have been imported as mono. I was able to resolve the issue by changing my import audio preferences to import Stereo Media 'Use File' and reimporting my audio files - exporting then worked as expected.
However, exporting from stereo tracks imported to mono tracks the audio is somehow being duplicated on export resulting in levels that are too high. Not sure if this is a bug or just something to do with the conversion of my old project files...

Nick,
Maybe not very useful info here, but an advice...
Being a native user of æ, ø and å when it comes to talking and writing, I have learned long time ago that using such (æ. ø, å) in file names (or in anything purely computer related) is something that causes hick-ups now and then.
PS! "Half" when it comes to sound is -3 or -6 dB (dependent on sound power or sound level)
