Canvas problem - green tint

My canvas window has a green tint when it should have been black (between the clips). I've checked my canvas settings and tried to fill the green spaces with slug, but nothing works...

Since it's come up, I must say I'm always surprised by how often folks seemingly need to trash preferences. Since installing FCP 4, I've had to trash preferences only twice. The first time was while running 4.1 (it turned out to be Jaguar issue, so it didn't help). The other time was the very first time I ran 5.0 after installation: the icon bounced on the dock, then nothing. Trashing preferences solved that - and that was after an Erase & Install of Tiger! - so who knows what the deal with preferences is. <shrug>
While Patrick brings up good points, I suspect luck has everything to do with it. Of course, mentioning this is probably like breaking a mirror - I get the sense I'm going to be handed 7 years of crashes and system failures for speaking of about all this.

  • My HP 1310 series, model1315 has a problem. Every copy comes out with a heavy green tint.

    I have cleaned the cartridge, put in a new cartridge, and the "self help" report only has  three bars showing, black, green and yellow. It appears it should have six bars of color. All copies come out with a green tint. Any ideas?

    It appears your cartridge is out of magenta ink.  Is this an original HP cartridge or a reman.refill?  If the former check the cartridge warranty as shown here.  If the latter see here, then contact your supplier for a replacement or refund.

  • Why do my photos have a green tint when placing them into Muse?

    I am placing photos of portraits into Muse and the colors look terrible. There is a green tint that dulls down the pictures.Top is one of the originals, and bottom is a screenshot in Muse.

    sorry maybe Im not making my issue clear...thanks for answering anyway:
    over the last years- but 15 weeks specifically I have downloaded photos from my camers card- putting it straight into the apple mac and then opening IPHOTO then i am able to click and put the pics into my folders in IPHOTO but as of 2 days ago - the camera card went in, the pics opened BUT there is an error message which states iphoto cannot save them to file......as they are JPEGS
    I can see that others too have had this issue and there are 'answers' but I am a complete novice and cannot understand the answers given and need someone to 'hand hold me' through a step by step this is what you must do....
    so hope that now is cleared as to why there is a 'problem'
    hope you can still help me thanks for you time

  • Green tint when hooking G4 PowerBook up to LCD projection

    I've been hooking up my G4 to external projection for presentations for a long time and then all of a sudden last week whenever I hooked up to display information to a group the projected image had a green tint. The image always looks fine on my computer but the projected display is really ugly and hard to look at. Any ideas on what the problem is?
    G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

    Hi lwb2000;
    First issue: "Green tint" Possible cause - damaged DVI connector in Powerbook, monitor video cable not seated correctly, monitor video cable may be damaged, or monitor connector on video projector may be damaged. Inspect the connectors at all points in the chain.
    Second issue: "display is really ugly and hard to look at" Launch Display Preferences in System Preferences and calibrate (under the 'color' tab) the projector monitor settings.
    Hopefully this will help you.
    Take care.

  • Monitor occasionally takes a blue-green tint

    Why does my monitor occasionally, at very irregular times,  take on a blue green tint?
    It lasts from a few seconds to a few minutes, online and off.

    It would help if you identified the display. locate the barcoded sticker on the back of the monitor and post the p/n that is there.
    To see if the monitor itself has issues remove it and connect another display to see if your PC duplicates the problem on the other monitor. The idea is to isolate the issue  for troubleshooting as either a monitor of video card problem. Alternately you can conect the monitor to another PC to accomplish the same effect.

    I did. Unfortunately, it did not fix the problem. Do you have any more possible solutions?

  • HP DesignJet 5500 PS - green tint (partial ) issue

    Plotter: HP DesignJet 5500 PS 60 in We've noticed a drop in plot quality after upgrading our computers to Win 7/Win 8. The greenish tint stands out on raster ( aerial ) plots. First we blamed it on the paper we were using ( not matching the profile loaded on the plotter) then we found the driver to be causing this. Once Win 7 & 8 were released , HP failed to provide a PS driver. When installing the printer on Win 7 /8 you'll have to use Microsoft drivers for PS printing. This plotter is used 90% for ArcGIS/PDF plots so we needed a PS driver. A few months ago, one of the print heads started leaking and we ended up replacing the entire set of ink lines ( carrying ink from tank to print head). New ink cartridges were installed to make sure no air will be left in the ink lines .... About 1 month after this , we noticed that longer plots ( 36x72 or more) would not print correctly: the first half o the colors look correct then the remaining half a green tint is present. We usually print to PDF and afterwards we send it to the plotter. Apparently there are some issues when plotting a PDF using an HPGL2 driver so we've started sending raster plots straight to the plotter. Well, today I printed another 36x72 (raster & vector) using HPGL2 driver and only the first half of the plot looked the way it should ( last half was green). Has anyone had this problem? It's been suggested ( by our maintenance company) to buy a new plotter because the specs on the 5500 say it is only compatible with OS-s up to Win XP ! Is anyone plotting to an HP 5500 from a Win 7 / 8 PC? What drivers are you using? Are your plots looking good /as expected? Do your raster plots look good? Any help /feedback is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance! LR

    Thank you both for taking the time to answer! Here is the status:  I ran a few calibration tests: 1 color calibrations and printhead alignment. While the first color calibration looked OK, after printing a couple of demo pics from the plotter, I noticed issues with one of the colors ( missing lines). The following color calibration tests  made it obvious the Light Magenta was failing.  Replaced the printhead and printed again. When printing demo picture from the plotter colors looked ok. I am still testing with different drivers but  at this point it looks like it is a driver issue: raster plots made using HPGL2 drivers are crisp while raster plots made using PS driver are greenish and faded- at least green tint appears to be constant now... This is just me testing , without vendor assistance.... I am plotting from ArcGIS ( not AutoCAD or Photoshop) but I seem to be the only one with such issues- hard to believe though....  I will post back again once I do more testing. Thanks again! LR

  • Opened LR2 in Vista32 Business everything had a green tint

    Hi,
    Just for the record I like to say that LR2 is incredible!!! I have been using LR since 1.0 and what a wonderful journey it has been. I like to consider myself very experienced with this software, but I am recently puzzled about an issue that has only happened twice and was wondering if anyone has had the same issue.
    1) The first time: Opened LR2 in Vista32 Business everything had a green tint, every catalog, every image was just green. So I closed and rebooted my PC, reopened LR2 and everything was ok. So I figured weird but no big deal, never happened again until!!!!
    2) The second time: Same thing, but this time it will not go away. I even went as far as pulling a backup of one of my catalog files and the same thing.
    So anyone???
    Thanks in advance.

    There is a very subtle effect you might be able to see in the shadows where Lightroom will look slightly different from any other color managed program. I had a discussion with somebody else with an eye-one that had that problem that disappeared when using matrix profiles. You might never get to see it though. This is far subtler then your green problem though on your PC.
    Regarding the strong color tint, often what I think happens is that a windows machine gets some sort of driver update that the user just installs without thinking about it. This driver update however contains a hidden monitor profile. Often they are the new Microsoft version of v5 profiles done by a monitor manufacturer but never tested with Lightroom. Those tend to hose Lightroom's color display. A good indication of this is when the Histogram display looks off - i.e. the area that is supposed to be grey has a strange tint.

    I have a DeskJet 979Cse. ever since I got a new computer with Windows 7 (64 bit), every color print has a green tint.
    I've tried changing the color management profiles and calibrating the monitor, but I still get a green tint on every color print. The image looks fine with the correct colors on the monitor, but when I print it out I get an image with a distinctive green tint.
    Other than this disturbing color problem the printer works normally.

    Say Thank you Microsoft. MAPI, the tool used for most of the "mail magic" in windows is depreciated and not included in Windows 7, it can be made to work on 32 bit Windows 7, bit 64Bit such as I have just does not play. Microsoft Office, word particularly is hard coded for Microsoft Outlook, so sending mail from Word is quite difficult.
    My solution has been to Dump Microsoft and use the Free open source LibreOffice. I don't have to do battle with the ribbon either and that is a god send.

  • Colors become oversatured with green tint after last import

    Hi,
    I use Lightroom on Windows Vista and after last import from my D300 my images have colors that are oversaturated and have a green tint that makes eyes bleed. Following advice from http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb402862&sliceId=2 and upgrading to 1.4.1 didn't solve this problem.
    I also noticed this same problem on older images which were fine before so my guess is that this problem is self-inflicted. I would really appreciate any ideas on how this could happen and how to fix it.
    I apologize if this question has been asked before, but I couldn't find it in KB or forums.

    >my green colors issue was "fixed" by adding the sRGB profile to my windows monitor settings and setting it as the default in place of the manufacture-provided profile (which i made sure was up to date). i don't quite understand why that would make things better as my monitor is surely not capable of reproducing the full sRGB gamut. is it correct for me to assume that there is some other lightroom or windows problem at hand for which this procedure happens to be a workaround? or is there something more fundamental about color management that i'm missing here?
    Chalk another one up to a bad manufacturer-supplied profile. We have seen these here hundreds of times now. Technically what happens is that Lightroom uses the perceptual profile present in such a profile, while most other color managed software (Photoshop, Safari, etc.) use the relative colorimetric. For some reason, many manufacturer-supplied profiles have corrupt perceptual intent in them. This makes Lightroom (and any other app that uses it) appear weird. Bottom line is that you cannot get good color on any system without calibrating it yourself. Rarely is a manufacturer profile any good, even if the perceptual intent is not broken.

  • Getting very green tint on importing GF 1 RAW files.

    Using AP 3.2.3 on 10.7.4.
    Getting very green tint on importing GF 1 RAW files. Also a message saying the files were processed usnig a previous Aperture RAW conversion. When I click on the reprocess button nothing happens for a few seconds then the WB corrects, but not every time. Sometimes I have to click on the WB picker for it to have an effect. This has only just started to happen as I've used the GF1 for 2-3 years with no problem. I see from other posts that the WB is a known issue but I alsohave the previous RAW message as well.
    Any thoughts?

    Two things to try:
    Force the generation of new previews by holding down the option key while selecting "Update Preview"
    If this only happened after you upgraded to 10.7.4 and worked well before, then register your camera with the lauch services database - see this post by Alan Roseman:This solved my questionRe: Aperture 3 preview of raw file greenish, but read the follow up posts (the lsregister command) as well, on how it is supposed to work and how to correct the typos.

  • Strange brief green tint changes in MPEG-4 bitstreams

    I'm running into a strange issue that seems specific to QuickTime. When I try to play certain MP4 files containing MPEG-4 Advanced Simple Profile bitstreams, they play back generally okay, except that, when there's motion, everything will suddenly have a greenish tint, and then change back to normal colors. The bitstream seems to play okay with VLC, Elecard, Windows Media Player, and DivX, so it seems specific to QuickTime.
    Interestingly, if MPEG-4 Simple Profile is used instead, everything is fine. This makes me wonder if this is an issue with how B-frames are processed.
    Has anyone seen anything like this before?
    Thanks for whatever help you might be able to provide.

    Thank you for your response!
    We tried both the "Safe mode (GDI only)" and
    "DirectDraw" in the "Advanced" tab under
    "Edit - Preferences - QuickTime Preferences."
    The intermittent green tint when there is motion
    still appears in both cases. You mention a video card
    issue. Do you know which card(s) showed this problem in
    the past?

  • Green tint in RAW previews with Panasonic

    I upgraded Aperture to 3.3. Previously I used the terminal "iregister"command to fix the green tint problem with Aperture and my RAW images with Panasonic GF3. The problem came back after the update and the terminal fix does not work now. I also tried regenerating previews without success. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Raphael, you got me there
    The lsregister fix is a puzzle to me as well - what Frank Caggiano probably would call woodoo and waving a dead chicken over the computer. But sometimes it magically seems to work. It can help, if the latest raw support is installed, but the system cannot find it for specific media kinds. The lsregister command indexes the database of supported media types know to the operating system (launchservices.db).  This fix has originally been posted by Alan Roseman:
    Re: Aperture 3 preview of raw file greenish
    But also read the following post, that explain how this is supposed to work and to correct the typo in the command (there is no blank in "LaunchServices.framework" - but it is impossible t post such a long line here)
    In short: Quit Aperture, open the terminal, paste the  follwing text in (all in one single line) and hit return; then reboot the system.
