Brightness issue

For some reason Photoshop is displaying everything brighter then it should be.  Every other program I have seems to be displaying at the correct brightness witht he exceotion of PS CS4.  When I upload images to the net, they are all noticeably darker.  Any ideas on why this is happening?

Have you calibrated your monitor lately?
If you don't have a hardware calibration device, try the free Calibrize.

  • Blackberry needs to sort out he brightness issue on the Q10 - Its very bad

    Blackberry needs to release an update for its Q10 device ASAP.  The device has brightness issues since it was launched. In a response to a Forum member's complaint about the screen dimness, a support staff here said that's how the device is made with no auto-brightness toggle to conserve battery. I believe customers should be given the options to turn on or off this option as they wish. Please fix this problem BB

    No he doesnt have a screen problem Jason. It is the Q10 that has a screen problem. Stop misleading people here. Blackberry needs to come up with a fix. The fact that they are not even responding to peoples' concerns on the Forum shows why they will continue to suffer pooor sales. 
    I am extremely disapointed at Blackberry!!

    I'm haing a screen brightness issue on my HP Beats Special Edition 15-p030nr Notebook PC (ENERGY STAR). I upgraded from 8.1 and the F2/F3 keys to dim or brighten screen do not function. Any suggestions besides reverting back to 8.1.? Not sure if I had the screen dimmed all the way or brightened all the way when it was upgrading, or if it even mattered.

  • Auto-Brightness Issue. It randomly worked, then stop working all together.

    Auto-Brightness Issue.
    It randomly worked before, now it's not giving off any brightness at all. Unfortunately it stopped coming on all together. I tried updating it Itunes and it comes back on but tried to restore my Ipod touch. After restoring it, it said "restore error -50" and the backlight STILL doesn't come on, not even a flicker. PLEASE HELP!!!

    Okay I tried to restore using iTunes and a little screen came up stating: An error occured while restoring this iPod (-50). I don't know what that means. It still ask do I want to continue to restore, but always gives me that same message. To make matters even worse, there is no Apple store in my town. The nearest is 3 hours away.

  • Laptop-mode / laptop-mode-tools lcd brightness issue

    I have an issue with my lcd brightness config in laptop-mode tools
    here is the brightness values
    [venky@ARCHROCKS ~]$ cat /proc/acpi/video/VID/LCD/brightness
    levels: 72 24 12 24 36 48 60 72 84 100
    current: 72
    [venky@ARCHROCKS ~]$
    following is my lcd-bightness.conf file under /etc/laptop-mode/conf.d
    # Configuration file for Laptop Mode Tools module lcd-brightness.
    # For more information, consult the laptop-mode.conf(8) manual page.
    # LCD brightness settings
    # Using these settings, you can make laptop mode tools automatically adjust
    # your LCD's brightness settings. The settings are extremely simple -- they
    # only allow for the execution of a command, nothing more. The reason for this
    # is that LCD brightness settings are very different between laptop vendors.
    # Suggestions for commands:
    # * If your system has the file "/proc/acpi/video/VID/LCD/brightness" (VID may
    # be VID1 or similar), use this file as BRIGHTNESS_OUTPUT, and use
    # the command "echo <value>". The possible values can be listed using the
    # command:
    # cat /proc/acpi/video/VID/LCD/brightness
    # * If you have a file /sys/class/backlight/.../brightness, then you can use
    # that file as BRIGHTNESS_OUTPUT, and the command "echo <value>".
    # As far as I understand it the values are between 0 and
    # the value contained in the file /sys/class/backlight/.../max_brightness.
    # * For Toshiba laptops, use the command "toshset" with the -lcd or -inten
    # command. Read the toshset(1) manual page for more information on the
    # parameters for this command. If you use this command, set
    # BRIGHTNESS_OUTPUT to "/dev/null".
    # IMPORTANT: In versions 1.36 and earlier, these settings were included in the
    # main laptop-mode.conf configuration file. If they are still present, they
    # overrule the settings in this file. To fix this, simply delete the settings
    # from the main config file.
    # Should laptop mode tools control LCD brightness?
    CONTROL_BRIGHTNESS=1
    # Commands to execute to set the brightness on your LCD
    BATT_BRIGHTNESS_COMMAND="echo 24"
    LM_AC_BRIGHTNESS_COMMAND="echo 100"
    NOLM_AC_BRIGHTNESS_COMMAND="echo 72"
    BRIGHTNESS_OUTPUT="/proc/acpi/video/VID/LCD/brightness"
    so basically while in AC power i want full brightness when on battery i want one notch more than the minimum brightness and when laptop-mode is not running i want 2 notches less than maximum brightness.
    the battery mode works fine when i unplug the computer but when i replug the AC power it goes to 72 instead of 100. I mean laptop mode is running coz when I remove ac power it goes to 24 again.
    Am I doing something wrong?

    When you plug in AC power, laptop-mode probably turns down, so LCD brightness is set to 72. It depends on if you have set in /etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode.conf ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE_ON_AC to 0 or 1.

  • Video Message - brightness issue which needs resol...

    Hello
    I am currently running Skype 6.5.0.158 and using a Microsoft LifeCam Studio webcam. When using my webcam for normal calls, or even checking the Tools -> Options -> Video Settings, then I can see my picture perfectly fine - colours are vibrant etc.
    However when I use the Video Message feature I see a very dark picture. It's like the brightness has been turned down. My room has all the lights on and there is a fair bit of light coming through the window. I've tested this with a Logitech webcam (not sure of the model) which appears to work without error.
    Please see attached document with examples. And yes, I know it's a Shrek soft toy and that my webcam is in mirrored mode at certain points.
    I look forward to hearing from you.
    Thank-you.

    I don't have that problem, but using the model before that one, I can tell you the camera settings can easily cause the issue.  Microsoft Lifecams tend to have a "truecolor" option and several other "auto" settings.  The best thing to try is to go into the "Video settings" - "Webcam Settings" in Skype and try toggling the settings and moving the sliders to a point where the video appears bright enough to you. See attachment.
    I do know that the overlay software that comes with the camera does not work.  You could also try 3rd party virtual camera software like "Manycam" (Manycam.com).  I have used that software and selected the Manycam Virtual Camera dropdown in Skype to be able to use the overlay software and the Manycam software to add even more overlays successfully.  You may also have better luck controlling the brightness in Manycam, if it doesn't seem to appear properly without it.  Be aware when Manycam is running, the normal Lifecam drop-down will not work, until Manycam is closed.

  • Apple Cinema Display 23" brightness issue while using with Microsoft Vista

    Hello there,
    I have the following issue and was wondering if someone has an idea what the reason is or what can I do to fix this:
    I have a 23" Apple Cinema Display running with a MacPro 2,8 GHz. When I switch to PC using BootCamp 2.1 with Windows Vista Service Pack 1 32bit the screen becomes extremely dark.
    At first, on the PC side, the display has the correct brightness but after two seconds it switches to a very low brightness setting.
    When I go back to the Mac side the brightness setting on my Cinema Display has changed to the lowest point.
    I also have a MacBookPro, with Microsoft XP installed also using BootCamp (I cannot find the version of this Boot Camp, but it is an earlier version) to change to PC. In XP, there is a driver installed that allows me to use a slider on the PC to control the monitor brightness. But with Vista this slider is nonexistent.
    I already tried changing the graphic's card NVIDIA 8800 driver to see if I can manipulate the brightness on the monitor. I realized there is brigthness slider on the Nvidia driver, but when you make brighter, the colors just get messed up, and the brightness stays as dark as before.
    We have lately upgraded to Snow Leopard and had installed Spyder on the Mac side to create a monitor profile for the Cinema Display. I already deleted the profile to see if there is a change. Nothing. I already went back in time on my PC (Restore Point), also nothing.
    Could I download a driver for Vista, so that I have a brightness slider on the PC side, so that I can adequately change the brightness to its correct setting.
    It is amazing how the lack of correct brightness in a monitor, can ruin your entire working day! Very frustrating!
    It would be greatly appreciated if someone has a solution for this issue! Thanks a lot!
    Emil

    Okay, I came across a thread that implies there is a problem with using the Apple ADC-to-DVI adapter to attach the older "acrylic" 23" Cinema Display to a Mac Pro DVI graphics card. Basically, the workaround is to NOT use the USB part of the adapter (disconnect it).
    1) In OS X, set the desired display brightness.
    2) Disconnect the USB cable coming from the converter to the Mac.
    3) Restart into Windows.
    The brightness setting should now remain as it was under OS X.
    Confirmed to work on my Mac Pro v1,1 (dual 2.66 Core 2 Duo) with nVidia GeForce 7300 GT video card running Windows 7 x64.
    Link here: <http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=790910> for credit to resolution.
    Of course, you lose the functionality of the 2-port built-in USB hub in the Cinema Display, but an external USB hub can make up for that.

  • Brightness issue after awaking from suspend

    I hope it's in the right category...
    After waking up notebook from suspend in Gnome (I didn't try it in KDE), the brightness is at its full. Normally, it is set to like 30%. Any ideas why is brightness full after awaking and how to make it to keep the brightness as it was before suspending?

    Hm, that is interesting. I had ACPI installed. Then, I installed acpid and added acpid to the daemons in /etc/rc.conf. But that didn't fix the issue.

  • Lumia 735 screen brightness issue

    My new Lumia 735 has an issue with the screen brightness dimming for no reason. For completeness I have done a reset, it is nor on auto, and does I when on mains or battery. The screen is supposed to be extremely bright when set to max. However it is for about 10 secs then dims then goes bright again then dims for ages then suddenly goes bright. I have been Through all settings and changed/tried all things to no avail. I think this is not a unique problem and is prob software linked. Anyone got any ideas?

    Although you say you've set the screen so the brightness is NOT set to 'auto', this sure sounds like the light sensor is still active.
    I would first try a power cycle to see if that clears things up (which I doubt, but no harm trying, right?).  Then do a back up and try a hard reset.
    After the hard reset, test to see if the brightness is working properly.  If not, then it may be malfunctioning light sensor and require repair/replacement.  If it's working properly, then slowly start adding apps one by one and testing again, to see if one of them is causing the problem.

  • 56HM195 DLP Clunking noise dim/bright issue

    Got an old 56HM195 that I inherited, been running good until the other day it started making a clunking noise.  The picture dims and brights alternately with each 'clunk'.  The bit of lamp I can see shining thru the rear of the housing appears steady.  So the dimming is in the mechanism, perhaps?  I can hear a fan running.  The vents aren't too dusty.  I pulled the lamp, visually it looks good.  It is an OEM type I put in back in 2012, not one of the cheapos.  The picture has been slowly dimming with age (gets a lot of use) and I knew I was headed for a new lamp eventually, however the clanking/dimming has me stumped, especially when from the rear peeking in the cracks the lamp light appears to be steady up to a certain area, I'm assuming past the light engine, then you see the flashing.  The clunking/flashing isn't quite per second but is is close to that and very regular, not intermittent or variable.  The picture is otherwise flawless, I have no static, no spots, no green/blue areas, the colors are as they should be as far as I see.
    When I'm not turning it on or off, and it's just sitting there flashing the screen bright/dim and clunking, IIRC the led lights don't show any errors.
    When I turn the television back off, the clanking continues until the set reaches the end of its cooldown cycle, at which time it quits making the noise.
    Fan going bad?  Light engine crapping out?  Is it really just the lamp?  Reluctant to buy a cheap lamp, but also reluctant to buy a full-priced one when I'm not sure that is the fix.  Any ideas?  If no one replies I'll be tempted to do dirt cheap lamp knowing it's a piece of junk, on the off chance it is a lamp issue, then I'll go from there.  With Wally selling comparably-sized flat screens in the $400 range now I'm not going to pour tons of money in this but I don't mind feeding it lamps every three or four years, either.

    Thanks for the links. Yes, I've tried everything, and so did a Genius at the  Store today. He took it in the back, then came out, saying that he thinks it's a logic board problem. He told me that he had hit the button to turn it on, and that it had not responded immediately, but came on a few moments later. Despite my best efforts, I have not been able to replicate this behavior. He said he really didn't know much more about it, and that he wished he could, but he was "bound by 's rules" on the matter and had to send me along with the out-of-warranty line. So I'm heading to a 3rd-party guy in the next day or to, and I'm gonna let him run some diagnostics on it.
    I don't know what he was talking about with the turning on thing, but it seems to turn on just fine for me–and I've pushed that button all night now.
    Hopefully the second opinion will cast some light onto this issue.

  • Pavilion 13-a010dx Brightness Issue

    Hello, I'm having an issue with my Pavilion 13-a010dx x360 Convertible PC.
    The issue: So, I have the computer plugged in, the display is as bright as anything. I can see absolutely anything without strain on my eyes. But when I unplug the PC from the charger, the display gets very dim, and it makes it very uncomfortable to look at.
    I tried to adjust all the brightness settings in the control panel and the Intel HD Graphics 4400 control panel. Didn't help at all.
    Does anyone have a solution for this? I have all my graphics drivers updated. I even downloaded the latest one from this website. I have pretty much all of my brightness settings at max.
    Any help to this issue would be appreciated.

  • What driver to install to fix Brightness issues on my Edge 15 with Windows 8.1

    Hi,
    On my Edge 15 with Windows 8.1, Brightness is unavailable from Windows. I can adjust brightness with the Fn keys, but it keeps resetting it's default value. Very annoying.
    There are a lot of drivers, which one should I install to fix this problem?
    Thanks,
    Heras

    Hi Heras2,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community!
    As per the query we understood that you are facing the issue with Brightness on your ThinkPad Edge 15.
    To resolve the issue please update Display drivers, Hotkey features & power management application.
    Note: before updating the above application you have to uninstall it first from Control panel –Program & feature option and after that you have to update.
    Hope this helps.

  • Windows 8 Bootcamp Low Brightness Issue?

    Hi There
    I have had my MacBook for 6 months now. Due to a new course I have taken up, I decided to partition my hard drive using the preinstalled bootcamp application. I used windows 7 home premium that I purchased, everything was fine with it after some tinkering and downloading the software unitility files from my Mac OS X and placing the files in Windows 7 and etc. I then upgraded to windows 8 Pro and since I have done this (it installed perfectly and runs beautifully) my brightness has automatically decreased. When I increase the screen brightness to full it is only half as bright as it was when running Mac OS X or Windows 7. When I turn the brightness down the screen display dims completely a little under half way down the brightness statues bar.
    I have tried:
    - Adjusting the adnvanced brightness settings on Windows 8 as instructed on WiseGeek or some what website (I believe this did not work as it was a guide for an automatic self adjusting brightness glitch)
    - Adjusting a certain brightness level file in the registry editor in Windows 8 that was to do with Nvidia- but the file that they told me to look for I could not locate (maybe this is the issue; I lack this file?)
    Any help would be much appreciated; please do not hesitate to ask for any extra information.
    Many thanks

  • [SOLVED] Screen brightness issues with Acer 5372Z

    The screen of my laptop goes black whenever I boot into ArchLinux, after "reading Udev events" on startup. Most of the time I have to use a flashlight to see the console on my screen and type
    sudo setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=20
    to set screen brightness manually. The `Fn` + `Brightness up` combination doesn't work on my machine, but that's not an issue with Arch, but fault to sugar in coffee.
    There are a lot of similar threads in this forum, but none of the solutions described there really worked 100% or not at all, that's why I'm opening a new thread as this seems to be specific to my hardware.
    Details:
    Graphics controller:
    00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
    Screen resolution:
    1366*766
    /boot/grub/menu.lst:
    # (0) Arch Linux
    title Arch Linux
    root (hd0,0)
    kernel /vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/sda10 resume=/dev/sda5 ro vga=775
    initrd /initramfs-linux.img
    /etc/rc.conf#DAEMONS:
    DAEMONS=(hwclock syslog-ng network netfs crond laptop-mode dbus gdm)
    I will describe here what I have did so far on hacking:
    Installed the video driver for my Intel card as described here in the wiki
    Set kernel mode to `nomodeset`, without specifying vga, of course, which surprisingly solved the issue, but prevented me from using Gnome.
    The supposed solution in the Arch wiki doesn't work for me. It makes it worse, in the sense of dumping screen brightness even before "reading udev events" on boot.
    My current workaround (to avoid using a flashlight) is to put this line into my `/etc/rc.local`:
    setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=20
    I wonder if you can help me to solve this issue, or point me to any of the great documentation provided by the Arch community I might have missed...

Every time I've installed Arch on this computer the same problem arises and the only way I can change the brightness is the setpci terminal method.
    This is bad news for new Arch (and Linux) users. This will be probably the point where they will turn over to another distribution.
    It seems to be something which has been included in newer kernels, because I can remember that in the 2.6 series this issue did not exist.

  • MacBook Brightness Issue

    My parents are having issues with their Black MacBook (purchased in 2009).  This is going to be tricky since I do not have access to the computer as of now, but I have done some troubleshooting.  Unfortunately, right now I am stuck.
    The first thing I had them do was the obvious.  Check to see if the brightness was down.  Since when they held the computer at an extreme angle, they could see the desktop, I knew that the screen was not shot.  When they tried hitting F2, nothing happened.
    Next, I had them go in to the System Preferences and go in to display (this was fun trying to have them do on a black screen!).  The brightness was all the way up.  I had them try to turn it down a little and push it back up, thinking maybe it just needed to be "reminded" where it was.  Nothing.
    Next, I had them unplug the computer.  Take the battery out.  Wait.  Put the battery back in.  Plug the computer back it.  Turn it on.  Nothing.
    After that, I tried having them push Command+Option+P+R (another REALLY fun adventure to have them try).  Again...nothing.
    I am stuck.  I don't know what else to have them do or what to try.  Is it possible the screen is shot, even though you can still see the desktop at certain angles?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I'll try this tomorrow when I go over their house.
    Thank you

    Okay.  I replaced the screen inverter.  The screen worked for a while, now it is doing the same thing.  It goes blank, but you can still see the desktop as if the brightness is turned all the way down.  At times, if I turn it up slowly and wait before putting it all the way up, the screen will stay bright.  Then, othertimes, I'll turn it all the way up, only for it to turn dark again.
    I really need help here guys.
