Blueish Cast in 10.8

I had a interesting thing happen after I upgraded to 10.8, here is the sequence of events:
I down loaded Mountain lion and upgraded Pages, Keynote & iPhoto. After all where installed I ran iPhoto and I got a blueish cast over the whole screen, I quit iPhoto and the cast disappeared, I then ran Pages and the same this happened, again the same with Keynote. I then ran Photoshop CS6 and the cast appeared at the load screen then disappeared when the application started, unlike Pages, iPhoto and Keynote where the cast stayed on.
I booted into disc repair run a permissions repair which there where a few things to fix whch the disc repair did. Now I do not seem to be getting the bluish cast.
Just a note to let others know how things have seemed to sort out for me. I hope this is an iscolated incedent.
Cheers
Del

the problem is for macbook pro 2010 with ssd or 7200 rpm hd installed.
mountain lion cannot load the discrete graphic driver well and it mistakes when it switch to this using some programs (like chrome, ps, Transmission and so on)
by now u can just logout and login after every restart to fix this.
i hope they'll fix it forever in the next update.

Strange Blueish cast after Exporting

I color correct my 1080p clips with 3 way color corrector. When there are white portions, I usually use the eye dropper of the hilights to make sure I get a pure white.
Then I batch export them to Pro Res 422 HQ. When I check them later (pre check in Quick Time, and those with strong cast I bring back to FCP for more accurate check. Very often I find the whites (and the overall image) have a blue cast
I run a test with b&white gradient..... but can not see any color shift.
This is quite disturbing, since I work on hundreds of clips, because I have a double work color correcting them. I also notice sometimes that the clips seem to be darker than when I corrected them first.

When color correcting, are you checking the outcome on a reference monitor, or the preview window of Final Cut pro? If yes you're bound to see differences.
The other important thing is, what are the source files you're editing with? You might be essentially (when rendering to ProRes HQ) converting 8bit to 10bit, so there are bound to be some changes...

Blue Cast on CR2 conversion to DNG

I'm wondering if anyone can explain why CR2 files from a Canon 1D Mark II exhibit a strong blue cast when converted to DNG using the standalone Adobe DNG converter version 5.5.0.97 or Lightroom 2.5. (see examples below).
Here's the test I conducted: I first shot a JPEG image of an X-Rite grey card using Auto White Balance then used it to set a custom white balance in my 1D Mark II. I then repeated the same test using a RAW file and in both instances the camera functions as expected. However, when I converted the CR2 files to DNG they took on a strong blueish cast.
For comparison purposes I then did the same test using a Canon 5D and those CR2 files do not show the blueish cast when converted to DNG.
Here's a shot of the thumbnails as they appear in BreezeBrowser Pro (thumbnail color management enabled). They look the same in Adobe Bridge too. The first six thumbnails are from the Canon 1D Mark II and the second six are from the Canon 5D.
Thanks for any help.

The only thing wrong with your DNG is that the embedded preview was created with the WB set to something like Tungsten while the DNG metadata parameters say As Shot for the WB. How it got that way you're going to have to figure that out. I say this because both LR and Br show a brief blue flash when the image is initially imported, then it corrects to the As Shot WB. This means the preview is bad but the parameters are ok.
I'm going to guess you had the DNG open in LR and clicked or synced it to something like Tungsten from some other image, and then created the DNG with the preview, then corrected the WB in LR and then updated the DNG metadata without updating the preview--perhaps by having the Auto XMP writing turned on.
I'd suggest removing the CR2 (and any associated DNGs) from the library, deleting any XMP, and starting over by importing the CR2 with As Shot parameters and convert directoy to DNG from W/in LR and see if you can make it happen, again. If you figure it out, then tell us. If you can't figure it out, then don't worry. The CR2 and the DNG are ok and you can use them for creating your color profile with the passport software which ignores any edits you make to the DNG anyway. Trying it with my Passport software shows a non-blue DNG with the green rectangles over the various squares, so the DNG, itself, is fine, just the preview is wrong.

A "yellowish" problem on my MAC.

ok, today i opended up my mac, and it looked like this :
http://img353.imageshack.us/my.php?image=picture2zl9.png
It seems that particular shades of grey are being displayed yellow instead. (The menu bar from Apple.com is quite evident, and on the image you can notice the Dock being vaguely yellowish.)
This don't appear to be a calibration problem for 2 reasons :
1 - It don't matter if i go back to previous calibration setting, like default.
2 - Normally a calibration would not show problems even with a direct screenshot from the OS.
Reason #2 is also the reason why it could not be a screen problem (i have an external monitor and it is on both.)
Also, interesting fact : When booting in Windows XP, everything is showing up perfectly fine, even Apple.com.
So, this happen only in MAC OS X, I run Leopard 10.5.4 (with all the update.)
Also, yesterday I recalibrated my screens, but this yellow thing wasn't there yesterday even after all the recalibration, it really appeared this morning when i opened up my MacBook Pro (SR 15', 2.2).
I really don't have a clue on how to "fix" this. I need your help.

Hi
Do you see this blueish cast on boot? In other words does the gray boot screen look blueish and slightly over contrasted? Or do you see it after you login or as you get to the desktop?
Some things you can quickly try is to create another Admin account and log in with that to see if the problem goes away. I've seen a similar thing happen with a corrupted Suitcase Font Database and/or Preference. If you're using Suitcase remove the Suitcase Preferences folder in /Users/Home/Library/Preferences and restart your mac. Does the problem go away now?

Calibrating external monitor from macbook pro

Hello,
I just bought a new Samsung t240 24" display for a late 08 macbook pro.
Its connected from mini display to dvi.
However the colors look really different from what they look on my macbook pro display.
The samsung looks very sharp and bright, however there is a slight blueish cast, in contrast from the mbp display, which looks rather warmer.
I already tried calibrating with the built in mac osx calibration, but it gives me the same result.
Maybe somebody here has a calibrated profile for the t240 or a similar one I can try?
Thanks and really appreciate any help.

I know this is an old thread, but I just wanted to let people know there is another way of solving this problem without resorting to buying a DVI adapter:
I've posted a solution here to a similar problem, it has worked for me and for others.

Color Correction - FCE has me feeling blue

I have a clip a few seconds long, shot indoors and lit by a halogen lamp. I know, I know, but's that what I did. It has a strong overall blueish cast which looks very cold.
Is there a simple way using Color Correction to warm and correct the colors? The Color Correction literature is copious and daunting and I don't really want to spend the time to learn all about Color Correction at this time. I need a quick fix so that I can finish my movie. ( A vast and impatient public is holding its breath.) A suggestion really would be appreciated.
If I make it yellower, won't that give me an overall green tint? Red, a purple haze?

If you're interested, Izzy has a free tutorial that as I recall covers the subject of making video feel colder (or in your case) warmer by using the Color Corrector filter. The tutorial video is under chapter 3 on this page:
http://www.izzyvideo.com/learn-final-cut-express/
If you don't want to watch a slightly longer tutorial though, Tom's tip should do the trick.

Color wrong on prints

I would appreciate any suggestions and help in correcting color in my photo prints. I did not notice the problem previously when I printed because it wasn't critical for what I was doing but now I have color that is very wrong. My orange tulip printed purple or at best fushia and landscape scene has a blueish cast to it.
The prints were made from iPhoto, Kodak Easyshare Software, and Safari Preview with the same results from each.
I have recently changed the printhead and put in new color and black cartridges.
I have an Kodak ESP-3 All-in-One Printer.
Thanks for your help.

Yes - only have used Kodak ink - and Yes, I made all of the printer tests required for my Kodak ESP-3 printer.
Kodak service finally determined that the problem was beyond fixing (new printhead, ink cartridges, etc.) and offered me a substantial discount on a choice of two new printers.
Thanks for your reply.

Hue of monitor changes when Aperture opens

For quite sometime now, whenever I open Aperture or Final Cut pro the hue of my screen changes. I have the desktop set for solid gray, I think it's medium. But when either of the two programs open the hue chages and I have a blueish cast, the destop looks more like Aqua Graphite than solid gray.
My 17" MBP has the dual graphics cards. Intel HD Graphics and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M. I am thinking the hue shift happens when the card in use switches. I calibrate with a Spyder 3 and I am concerend that I have 2 very different calibrations and not sure which one is the calibrated one.
I have been playing around with Lightroom 5 Beta and when it opens there is no hue shift.
I have an external monitor also, but I am traveling right now and can't recall if this behavior is mirrored with it. I usually only have it on with editing software use.
I was going to post screen shots of the two different screens but to me they look identical when viewed on my screen, they both swiich hues depending on what software is running.
Any thoughts about whats going on here ?

To add to the info. If I switch the graphics card automatic switching of,f the screen goes to the blueish hue regardless of the software that is running. So it is a graphics card switching issue. Nothing at all to do with Aperture or FCP.
I'll be spending some time on one of the other forums to get to the bottom of this. For now switching off the automatic switching followed by a restart, then turning it back on gets it working correctly it appears. But for how long ???

Shot tungsten in daylight

I shot some outdoor photos and unfortunately had the settings at tungsten instead of daylight. Ugly. Is there a filter or other fix I can use to get tungsten back to daylight. Now there is a harsh blueish cast.
Canon PowerShot
Photoshop CS
Windows
I searched and tried some filters but no good results.
Thanks.

Open Bridge. Find the folder with the pictures you want to change. Select only those pictures needing changed because of incorrect light selection during picture taking making sure all had the same light problem (white balance problem). After selecting the pictures go to File>Open in Camera Raw. Change the white balance to auto. Then go to the bottom, open in Photoshop and Save As.

Magenta Cast on exported Images

I am working on a Macbook Pro connected to an external Ezio Monitor.
When I work on files in Lightroom the images appear fine. When I export them as JPEGs, I send them out using Adobe 1998 as the profile, or SRGB files. The photos will have a magenta cast to them. I read posts talking about ProPhoto RGB but that is no better, in fact it is worse.
This never used to be the case, now I don't know what is going on.

It is my experience with Canon "pro level" printers is, they tend to have a redish bias. This is very difficult to remove.
Canon engineers seem to prefer this warm look. This is built in.
However, on portraits I do like it, too. They look very nice. But on other stuff I know your problem.
I sometimes add a small amount of a 'coolong' filter in Photoshop. This usually counter-acts the built in warming effect of the printer. Remember a small amount, a little is good, a lot is not. It will look slightly blueish on your screen. I mean sloightly!
Hope this helps.

How can I fix a blueish photo?

I have 2 sets of printed photos processed in 2 differents photo labs.
I don't have the negatives any more.
One set of prints was well developed and the colours are good (see photo labelled Picture 1 Good).
The other set of photos was not well developed (see Picture 2 Blueish) and the photos are blueish.
How can I fix these blueish photos?
I am not sure if this could help but Picture 1 was developed in both labs (see Picture 1 Good, Picture 1 Blueish).
In advance thank you.

It is possible.
First I used "curves", the blue curve down, the red one up.
Then I used "color balance", "dynamic" and "selective color".
I laid a somewhat brownish layer over the whole picture with very low transparency (12%).
At last I used once more the red curve to remove a reddish color cast in the light areas.
Colors are not 100% the same as in "picture 1 good". I don't know whether that is possible.
The same procedure didn't produce instantly good colors in picture 2, but the tools are the same.
Each picture seems to need individual adjustment.

Just a little explanation about the error message.
ORA-06550: line 5, column 39:
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "(" when expecting one of the following:
Line 5 column 39 is the starting parenthesis of the "(10)". For using cast you can't add a lenght to the datatype.
If you change that, then you get a different error message:

This shows that you can't convert/cast a nvarchzar type into another nvarchar type.
It would work if you cast a number into a varchar2 type for example
declare

p_RN number(10);
begin
v_s := v_s || cast(p_RN as nvarchar2); -- ERROR IS COMING IN THIS LINE

Error in cast to MULTIPART

Hi, I test the follow Jguru tutorial code for getting atacchements
Multipart multipart = (Multipart)message.getContent();
for (int i=0, n=multipart.getCount(); i<n; i++) {
Part part = multipart.getBodyPart(i));
String disposition = part.getDisposition();
if ((disposition != null) &&
((disposition.equals(Part.ATTACHMENT) ||
(disposition.equals(Part.INLINE))) {
saveFile(part.getFileName(), part.getInputStream());
But i have a problem of cast in this line
Multipart mp = (Multipart)message.getContent();
the error of CastClass is:
java.lang.String cannot be cast to javax.mail.Multipart
why????? Please help me
Thanks

Most likely you don't have a multipart message. See the msgshow.java
demo program that comes with JavaMail.

Could not type cast in java embedding

DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
org.xml.sax.InputSource in = (org.xml.sax.InputSource) getVariableData("Invoke_1_getRoutingAndFrameJumpers_OutputVariable","getRoutingAndFrameJumpersResponse");
Document doc = db.parse(in);
In the above code I am trying to type cast the variable getRoutingAndFrameJumpersResponse into org.xml.sax.InputSource so that i can parse.
I am not getting any error during compilation
but I am unable to type cast some run time error is coming in the line were I am type casting but I am not able to see the runtime error.
How can I see the runtime error in java embedding, how to type cast a variable into xml so that I can parse it.

Hi Arun,
Could you try using the bpelx:rename extension in an assign activity enables a BPEL process to rename an element through use of XSD type casting.
<bpel:assign>
<bpelx:rename elementTo="QName1"? typeCastTo="QName2"?>
<bpelx:target variable="ncname" part="ncname"? query="xpath_str" />
</bpelx:rename>
</bpel:assign>
Cheers
