Can you turn down color saturation?

As questioned in the subject: can you turn down color saturation in osx?
I have bought an external monitor for my Macbook, which i run trough the mini-dvi out. The screen is a nice 24" inch, but does not have an option to turn down color saturation. The colors are a bit to harsh, and i really want to turn the colors down a few notches, especially the reds. But in the built in osx calibration tool, there is not option to "turn down", the colors. I know there is a "grayscale" option in the universal access menu, but there is no slider to make a custom adjustement.
So do any of you have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Ok. I am not able to send back my display, so now im stuck with a wide gamut screen. I do not want to just throw it out. There must be some way, a third-party program maybe, that can tweak the way osx shows color. I just want to desaturate the image a little, i shoud not be very difficult, but after hours of searching on google i cant find anything.
Is there a program with extended calibration features, compared to the ones system preferences?
Thanks in advance!

  • Can you turn off color function on HP officiate 6600

    Can you turn off color function on HP officiate 6600 on printer so it will still run without color cartridges?  I just need to print a black and white word document and it won't let me without replacing the color cartridges.

    Hi @justwest,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I see that you are wondering if you can turn off the color function on HP officiate 6600 so you can print without color cartridges. I am happy to answer this question for you!
    This particular printer uses some color inks even when printing in black only. If you did run out of color and kept printing black only, you will cause problems with the printhead. FYI,HERE is the user guide to your printer, see page 72. I've also linked page yield information HERE.
    Hope this answers your question, and have a good day!

  • Can you "Turning down" the music during Videos?

    I am doing a movie of an overview of my daughter's 3rd year of life.  I have a lot of photos with movies spread out here and there I may choose music that has lyrics in it and was wondering if there is a way to turn the volume down on the audio track and boost the volume on the video?
    Or is it ideal to have music without lyrics in it?
    Thanks,
    Nik

    Now, some of this will be predicated on my personal workflow.
    It's really the same in PrE, though the grouping of the Audio & Video Tracks is a bit different there, than in my PrPro. Still, I always leave my AV Audio on the comparable Audio Track. [In PrE, this will be on the corresponding Audio Track, i.e Video Track 1 will have its Audio on Audio Track 1. In PrPro, the Audio Tracks are separated from the Video Tracks, and one can Rename the Tracks to suit. I Rename Audio 1 to "AV Audio."]
    All music goes onto a separate Audio Track. In PrE, the SoundTrack is a good place, but one can also use the Narration Track, or even one of the Audio & Video Track, regardless of whether there is accompanying Video, i.e. Audio Track 2, though Video Track 2 is empty.
    What this does is allow me to use Window>Audio Mixer to control each Audio Track separately. It also allows for some automation (more in PrPro), that is applied at the Track-level, as opposed to the Clip-level.
    At the Clip-level, one can use Keyframes on the fixed Effect>Volume, to raise and lower the Gain/Volume, as is required. I like the Audio Mixer, because it is dynamic, where Keyframes will work dynamically, but are applied statically.
    The exact method one uses will probably have more to do with how they like to work. While I am very comfortable with Keyframes, I come from an analog world, before digital, so the "sliders" on the Audio Mixer are more like what I grew up with - mixing panels with sliding potentiometers. I also like the automation of the Track-level Effects in Audio Mixer.
    In many of my Projects, I end up with at least one AV Audio track (often more, depending on the sources) and at least one "Music Track" (usually many more).  I'll also have several SFX Tracks, and in most cases, these will need to be adjusted separately, and also, many will overlap on the Timeline. I keep them separate, so I can address them at a Track-level, and not have to go into work on each Clip manually, via Keyframes.
    Hope that this gives you some ideas, and good luck,

  • How can I discover a color saturation in an image?

    My name is Eduardo, from São Paulo/Brazil. I'd like know how can I discover a color saturation in an image? For example, I open an image in photoshop CS6 and I'd like to know what a color is more saturated for after to do a treatment with color balance. I tried to use a Color Sample Tool in Photoshop, tried to find some articles and techiques on Google, but without success.
    Somebody help me?

    Hi Eduardo,
    Try looking at the Color window.  You can find this by going to Window -> Color.  In the Color window, you can use the eyedropper to select a color and see the color information displayed.  See the screenshot. 
    Hope this helps!

  • How do i stop muting people during my conversations? i don't mean to hit mute but it always happens. can i turn down the sensitivity?

    how do i stop muting people during my conversations? i don't mean to hit mute but it always happens. can i turn down the sensitivity?

    The iPhone includes a proximity sensor which puts the screen to sleep or turns it off when the iPhone is held to your ear and face during a call.
    Do you have a screen protector installed and/or are you using a case that might be blocking or partially blocking the proximity sensor?
    If you are using a case, remove the case before the next call. If the same does not occur without the case, you need to get another case that doesn't block the proximity sensor.

    How can you turn off the braille setting on an iPhone 4s, once on it won't let you slide the phone into use mode to change the settings or do anything?

    An alternate method is Accessibility Settings when connected to iTunes. You should be able to turn it off there. I would also check out some of the answers listed to the right of this post and see if they can help.

  • Can you turn off the annoying pop-up in iTunes

    Can you turn off the annoying pop-up in iTunes when you hover over a song in your song list. 
    I don't need a stupid pop-up; this isn't a stupid Windows program. Now my iTunes is jumping around, things are popping up!  *** APPLE! I wnat my old iTunes back!

  • HT1305 how can i turn down the fan rpm that's between the optical drive and hdd in my power mac g5 dual 2.3?

    how can i turn down the fan rpm that's between the optical drive and hdd in my power mac g5 dual 2.3?

    Ok, I saw that error in your logic. A Dual G5 2.3 or even a Dual Core 2.3 does NOT use LCS at all. Its air cooled and if anything if the OP is experiencing this problems could be due to possible heatsink paste drying up. He might have to re-apply MX 7 or Arctic Silver.
    The only G5's that use LCS are: G5 dual 2.5 from Late 2004, the G5 Dual 2.7 from Early 2005, and lastly the G5 Quad-Core from Late 2005-end of September 2006.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can you slow down a voicemail you are listening to? I can't understand what someone said to me because they spoke too fast. I just want to know how to slow down the voicemail so I can understand her if it's possible.

    How can you slow down a voicemail you are listening to? Someone sent me a voicemail and they spoke way too fast for me to understand them. I want to know how to slow down the voicemail so I can understand them if that is possible.

       I have to say, this is so weird because it's actually become this way in the past week maybe, and I'm sure me saying this here will be disputed, ridiculed and belittled, and that's absolutely fair, but I've got to say it... up until a few days ago, my iTunes sync/backup area really would keep more than one backup for my one, single iPhone. They were all timed and dated with a drop-down menu (which appeared if I clicked the restore button) to choose which one I wanted to roll back to, for example. Sure, I'd read about the three backups thing etc. etc. and perhaps I got that wrong or misunderstood, but I can honestly say, I only ever had at the most two backups, that I could drop-down and choose to restore from. They were there. Same iPhone. Different dates.
       At the time, when this seemed to be the case, the backing-up process took quite a while. I would leave it to progress while I went and made a cup of tea, come back and it still wasn't finished running. So, not really AGES, but a little while.
       Now, when I perform a backup, the progress bar almost shoots across to a finish. I'll 'fess up... that worries me most of all. I can live without the luxury of a menu of backups... but if it does it once, I'd like to be sure it does it at all.
    Much more importantly though, thank you for your replies so far.
    Any further input, even if it's to belittle or shame is totally welcome. I'd like to understand this a bit more.
    Thanks again.

  • Can you turn off the location text that appears on the bottom left for links in Firefox 4?

    The text box that appears when you mouse over a link and it shows the location in the lower left. Can you turn that off? I find it annoying.

    it would even be nice if there were options to change the status text such as length of time of popup, on/off, similar to how an information bar is customized. what makes it so annoying is that is pops up and never goes away and if you hover over it then it goes to the other side of the browser

  • Can you turn on/off aliases wih iCloud

    With iCloud can you turn on/off email aliases you have created in .mac and mobileme?
    If you can't, can you delete the aliases in iCloud that you cannnot now delete in mobileme?                        

    You can handle aliases in exactly the same way as on MobileMe except that you are allowed only three (though if when you migrate you have four or five you won't lose any of them).
