Calibration tools missing

-
I have just noticed the lens and camera calibration tools are completely absent from my copy of lightroom. I have the latest version. I have tried to reinstall using the disk image I downloaded without success. Any suggestions about how to proceed?

Try Ctl/Right-clicking on one of the heades in the Develop panel and re-check the hidden element Lens COrrection. You can hide/unhide any of them this way in any panel.

Calibration tool for 24" LED Display

Greetings, I'm currently using the 24" display with my MacBook Pro and am looking for calibration tool recommendations. I went to the Apple store and they sold me the Huey Pro from Pantone. I haven't opened it yet as I saw it had mixed reviews. It also says it's for CRT's and LCD's. Has anyone tried it on the 24" LED monitor? Successes/failures appreciated.
Thanks.

Brightness and Contrast settings are both dictated by ambient light in the room. There is no set point, and so day and night modes are used for this reason. For this properly setup, you need to use a test pattern which shows the greyscale detail and increments from black to white. Typically "pluge" or blinking patterns are used as well.
After setting those up, you DO NOT want ambient light present when using your meter. Meter's don't have peripheral vision like we do to compensate for room lighting tones... therefore, either work in the dark, or drape something over the sensor & screen.
Here is a free download to get some patterns:

HT1880 Is there a calibration tool foor iPhoto and the printing of books (dark results)

Hi, Not satisfied with the result of a very expensive and therefore unusable iPhoto Book, due to the dark prints of the images, I am looking for a calibration tool. Does anyone know of its existence? Or is it just aquestion of lowering the color density of your photo's before, with iPhoto? And, if yes, at what rate do they have to adjusted?
Thank you for an answer, sicerely, Jos

Don't know if you can set the camera to use a different RGB profile for future photos.
To convert existing files to sRGB you can download and use this Automator workflow application, Convert to JPG anbd Embed sRGB profile, on the original files. However, you would have to export the orignals out of iPhoto, run the app on them and reimport them. You can download the app from Toad's Cellar.
For future photos you can upload them to a folder on the Desktop and run the app on them there before importing.
Contact Apple, tell them about the problem and they probably will refund the purchase price. If you reorder then you're on your own from then on. Be sure to create a PDF of the book as described in this Apple document, iPhoto '11: Preview a book, card, or calendar before you order or print it, before you order it and save the pdf for comparison to the printed version after you receive it.

Pro Tools Missing audio file message syndrom exists on Logic

I come from Pro tools and i am a bit traumatised by this fkn Pro Tools missing audio file message for those who know what i mean..
Is it something possible and frequent in logic when we work on a daily basis ?

No, you simply copy the entire project folder to a flash drive and bring it home. If you have included the audio files in the project folder, which logic does by default, logic will find them just fine at home. If it asks where they are, you just hit "search" and if they're there, If you've copied the song file to your drive without including the audio files ("pilot error") then the program can't find them. Often, I get protools sessions from clients with missing files. Sometimes the entire audio files folder is missing, but more often the missing files are out-takes that are no longer part of the arrangement, and were still in the audio file list of the song, but were not included in the folder when the project was copied and brought to me. How or why, I cannot tell you.

Keynote - The font Calibri is missing. Your text might look different.

Since updating Keynote app, I keep getting the following message every time I open my presentation...even when I have made other changes:
Some changes were made to your presentation. The font Calibri is missing. Your text might look different.
With over 100 slides, how can I find the font? Keynote used to make the change for you and you would never see this message again. Its so annoying. Also, why have you taken away so many of the easy functions like replacing images. Now it takes additional steps..sure hurts productivity.

The fonts on iOS are a limited set of fonts system wide.
Only really few app allow to install custom fonts. I assume that apple trys to prevent compatibility problems with the system.
May i guess is that you have reused a PowerPoint-Template? The message is clear for Calibri is one of the standard fonts of MS-Office and not on the Mac or iOS by default. I get this message regularly whe opening Office-docs.
When you are using styles the soultion should be easy: change the styles to a font that is on the iPad too - as Times. The changed styles should affect the whole document.
And don´t forget the master slices for they got font formats too.

Apple display calibration tool messes everything up?

So I recently had my display clamshell replaced on my mbpr 15" for the bright mura spots that I had. I noticed when I got it back that I must've gotten a samsung display because everything was just a tinge too yellow. I prefer it to the cool bluish whites of the LG display I had before though. I wanted to try the screen calibration tool to try and calibrate the white balance though. When you do this, you also have to calibrate the gamma though. For some reason, the tool ALWAYS messes up the gamma correction, I'm not sure how. The native gamma of the display is 2.2, exactly what it should be. For some reason, when I go through and do all of those apple logo tests where you're supposed to make the logo disappear into the background, it winds up calculating that the native gamma of the display is somewhere around 1.5 to 1.7, which is utterly wrong. I would say no big deal, because I can just tick the checkbox that says "use native gamma of display" and presumably it'd leave the gamma alone, right? So I check the box, and on a graphic I have (zoomed to 100% or actual size) the colors even out at 2.2, which means the display is calibrated to gamma 2.2. So I proceed to adjust the white balance to what I want, just a titch cooler than the native white balance. Then I click continue, and on the very last screen of the calibration tool, it changes the gamma to 2.6. EVERY TIME. Without fail, even if I slide the gamma slider all the way to 1.0 when I reach the last screen it makes it 2.6. How? I have zero ideas. But it's driving me NUTS. All I want to do is adjust the white balance, I don't even want to touch the gamma, but for some reason I can't do that without raising my gamma to 2.6. Anybody? Please, this is going to make me insane.

Can anyone confirm this on their MacBook?

What color calibration tool do I use to calibrate my MacBook Pro screen to get accurate color when I print my my photos?

What color calibration tool do I use to calibrate my MacBook Pro screen in order to get accurate color when I print my photos?

This what I have been trying...... Maybe my eyes are screwed up or don't understand the process....
What I have been trying to do is squint and make the apple disappear by moving the sliders around in each step. Is that correct?

Found a GREAT display Calibration Tool!

If you are like me, you are probably not very satisfied with the look of your MBPs display profile out of the box. Apple's COLOR calibration system is pretty lame and it makes it almost impossible to get the screen to look right!
Having just switched over from a Powerbook G4 that had a perfectly calibrated display, I had been struggling for days to get this new MBP 15" to look as good. Something was always not right. Either there was a green or blue tint to the screen, the gamma was not low enough so everything looked washed out etc.
I stumbled upon an EXCELLENT little FREE tool called SuperCal that worked like magic on finally getting my screen to look right. It still took a couple of tries, but unlike the Apple calibration tool, you can EDIT EXISTING PROFILES created in SuperCal, so you can go back and TWEAK your settings until you have everything nailed!
Check it out!

I would post a link to my final profile for you to try, but I can't seem to get the file to download right when I try it on here.

I am pretty sure that what I described is not a hardware problem. The whites are white and the blacks are black, but blues and greens were slightly off. They aren't anymore. ;o)
I'm pretty sure that this is standard on all new MBPs.
The display setting out of the box is over-saturated and the GAMMA is set way too low causing a washed out image. I've seen the same thing at the Apple store.
Having owned Macs for the last 25 years, and currently owning two large Cinemas that have been calibrated using a Colortron, I am speaking from experience here. The shift I referred to is subtle and most users would probably never notice it. Especially if they have nothing calibrated to compare it to.
Never the less, I am taking the machine in to an Apple Store on Monday to have this vibrating 7200rpm drive replaced, so I will switch the display back to the "un-calibrated stock setting" and see what the Apple folks have to say. I am pretty sure that they will say it looks fine to them, since most of the display Macs I see at these stores are not calibrated either.
Only displays I see looking right there are the large Cinema displays like the two I own. Probably because Apple wants people to see a HUGE difference between those and a standard laptop display. LOL!
The fact is... With some tweaking using a good software based tool like SuperCal, you can get one of these MBPs to look "almost" as good as a hardware calibrated Cinema display that cost me more than this entire laptop did! ;o)
I haven't priced hardware calibration tools recently. I had my Cinemas done by a shop since at that time the device used on mine was several thousand dollars to purchase.

Highlighter tool missing

My Acrobat Pro has the highlighter tool missing from the toolbar and I cannot find it in Customize. It used to be there. I've googled the issue but can't seem to find the solution. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Software monitor calibration tool???

Hi,
We are on a photo production right now and I have to work on pictures with my MBP. Bought a 23 Cinema to have more space to work but can't get a calibration tool. Is there any "good" software tool available beside the Apple built in tool??
What would you recommend to do while we are on the road??
Appreciate your feedback.
Thanks
R

I have used several software calibration tools and find that they are not worth the trouble.
IMO you will do better to let color adjust by the numbers. (i.e. R=G=B is white, gray, black). Also if you make an bit of an effort you will adapt to your monitor.
The adaptability of a human viewer is why things don't look green to you in a flourescent lighting environment. It also makes software calibrations very spotty.
The Apple monitors have some limitations in the LUT (look up table). Most calibrations (even hardware calibrations) wind up shifing your white-point to a warmer balance (a good thing) but at the same time they reduce shadow detail visible (a very bad thing) because they reduce the number of shades/colors that the monitor can display.
A really good package won't try to calibrate your Apple monitor (calibrate means to change), instead it will profile your monitor (profile means to describe).
If you want to try software calibration don't spend too much on your package. You probably won't want to use it for long. My advice is stick to the Apple profiles until you can get a good hardware profiling package.
P.S. If you search this forum you will find some early problems that some users had with Aperture not property interpreting some types of profiles. I recall probelms in v1.1 with large profiles from Gretag Macbeth Profile Maker 5. There may be others

Re: Battery Calibration tool

Try the new version of Battery Calibration tool for W10.
http://download.msi.com/uti_exe/nb/MSI%20Battery%20Calibration_v1.0.1505.2901.zip

What does device manager report for your ethernet port? does it show up?
Perhaps try drivers directly from Killer: http://www.killernetworking.com/support/driver-downloads

New to PS4 some tools missing

I'm currently running PS4 on my iMac and am having issues in viewing some of the tools.
Tools such as custom shape tool are subdued. I've even gone so far as to go to Edit-->Menus--> select the custom shape tool is viewable. I've also tried the "path" option mentioned under the knowledge base with no luck.
I've got my workspace set to "Web" and have tried other options such as "basic" etc with no luck.
Another tool that I'm missing is the "fill tool" it looks like a bucket of paint. I cannot seem to find where this is located and it's not displayed at all on my workspace. I would assume that would be a default tool to use.
Let me know if running PS4 in Mac is different than in Windows or why these options would not be made available.
Thanks

Are you not seeing the same toolbar?

Photoshop- Batch tool missing in Bridge?

My Photoshop-> Batch is missing from the bridge tools menu? And when I go into Photoshop to automate->Batch I can't choose Bridge as a source. It is there, but it is not in bold(i.e.cannot be selected.)
I have checked my Bridge->Preferences-> Start up script, and all Photoshop options are checked there. I have also tried enabling them agin, and then restarting Bridge, and resetting Bridge Preferences, still nothing. I also tried to delete plist files in my library- I just deleted the bridge one- but I'm not sure what that really does, in any case, it didn't work.
I used to work. Any suggestions??

In that case, something is wrong with your install. Only thing I can offer is to do an uninstall and a fresh install.

Geospatial Registration Tool Missing from Acrobat 9 Pro

I'm running Acrobat 9 Pro for Windows and am trying to georegister a PDF, however when I bring up the Analysis toolbar there are only three tools:
Object Data
Measuring Tool
Geospatial Location Tool
The fourth tool (the Geospatial Registration Tool) is missing! I've tried resetting the toolbar and it's not in the Tools > Analysis menu either.
Thanks.

This tool is available in Acrobat 9 Pro Extended.

Red-Eye Correction Tool Missing Sliders in 2.5

I just upgraded from 2.4 to 2.5, build 605155. The sliders are missing from the Red-Eye Correction Tool.
Any idea where they went?

The text should replaced by the sliders after you have clicked on the red area. If it doesn't, the area you clicked on doesn't match the parameters for the tool (unusual if red or near red) or the Lightroom preference file is corrupted.
You can try trashing the existing Lr preference file, which is located as described at the following link http://forums.adobe.com/thread/358041?tstart=0
