Change color on second display

Hi folks,
I have some trouble setting up a different color on my second display.
I am using a mac mini (late 2012) with mountain lion.
My main display is plugged via hdmi and the second is via thunderbolt with a hdmi adapter.
So, when I open the color settings I see a color window on both displays. The problem is that if I change on the second screen the color profile it changes on my first screen.
I somehow think its because of that the other display is connected via thunderbolt.
The displays are both Samsung SyncMaster S22B350
Has anyone else had this issue before?
Thanks in advance,
Alex

Sorry, I don't have te luxury of 2 monitors anymor, hopefully some other helpers pipe in!

MBP changing color when thunderbolt display attached

So I have the last gen 17" mbp running 10.8.2. the color on the display looks great except when I attach my new thudnerbolt dislpay. The color temp of the MBP display goes really cool (blue) when the thunderbolt display is attached. Whenever I unplug the display, it goes back to normal. Anyone else seen this or have any idea what is going on?
Thanks,
Scott

Bought a TB display to use with my 2011 mbp last night. Hate that it doesn't have a power button.
Really hate that the usb implementation seems quite broken. I spend 95% of my time in Windows, and while the display functions, usb doesn't really. The apple usb keyboard i bought sticks, and my dell mouse hangs frequently. both are plugged into the display, but they work fine when plugged into the laptop directly. I also have a jabra usb headset plugged into the display.
I have noticed I can worsen the situation by actually using the display hardware. If I start a call using the headset, the keyboard and mouse become even worse. If I start using the facetime hd camera on the display, they become horribly erratic.
Apple definitely has some work to do. They are billing this is a docking solution and it is completely unusable as such right now.

Is there a way to connect the Apple TV as a second display without it automatically changing my Mac's audio output?

Is there a way to connect the Apple TV as a second display without it automatically changing my Mac's audio output? I would prefer to use an audio interface for playback and the apple tv as a third display. I know I can go back to system preferences and swap my output back manually, but it is getting to be really inconvienient. Thoughts?

Three-Way Color Corrector Eyedropper Tool Not Working on Second Display in OSX Maverick

Hello,
Since updating to Mavericks at work on Monday, I have been unable to use the Three-Way Color Corrector's eyedropper tool on a dual-screen setup in Premiere Pro CC.
I have all of my panels, apart from my Program monitor panel, on one display. When I select the Three-Way Color Corrector's white balance eyedropper and go to the second display where my Program panel is, it turns back into an arrow and doesn't allow me to select anything. When I move my Program panel to the same display as the others it lets me use it as normal. Unfortunately that is not how I work and I would like the program to function as normal.
I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and discovered a solution. I will submit a bug report right now.
Thank you.

Hi Punker,
Thanks for posting the workaround. This is a known issue that we're investigating. Fow now the workaround is to:
Goto> System Preferences>Mission Control.
Un-tick "Displays Have Separate Spaces"
Logout or Re-boot system.
The issues should be resolved.
Best,

My Macbook display changes color when I open applications. It looks like there is a light blue layer over the screen, thus changing the color of my display. This layer goes away when i quit the applications.

I am facing a problem and I am not sure if its a graphic card malfunction. When I open applications like Chrome, VLC player, and most apps, my display suddenly changes color. It is as though the Theme was changed. The normal grey panel on opened windows turns to light blue and everything else seem as though there is a light blue layer on top of it. When I close these applications (quit) the display returns to its normal self.
My MacBook Pro is 2 years old, and I have an extended warranty. Will Apple replace my graphic card if it is actuall the graphic card's problem?

I had that problem, too, and it's been documented both here and on the Adobe forums. What happens is that when you have dynamic switching on, when an application that uses your discrete GPU kicks in, the screen will change color. My problem lasted for a couple of weeks then just vanished.
What you need to do is download Cody Krieger's gfxCardStatus and turn off dynamic switching and leave your GPU set to discrete only. That's the only fix that I know of at this time. I don't know why it happens or why mine stopped.
Good luck,
Clinton

I have an Apple TV Gen1 and it has a blinking light that changes color and I dont get any video displayed

we have lost a few AV items due to a recent storm and i am trying to find out if my apple Tv model: A1218 is dead or fixable. It has a blinking light that changes color and I dont get any video displayed. the color looks to go red, green, off and keeps repeating that cycle.

Images Change Colors between monitors while the UI stays the same

Hey! Im having an issue where photoshop changes the colors when I move the window between my monitors, seen here: http://sta.sh/04y5s60vf3j This isnt due to the monitors themselves being different, it actually changes after a few seconds of moving it inbetween the monitors. The left one has been callibrated with a spyder 3 elite which I no longer have access to. I applied the file with windows color management instead of the spyder utility. The second one is new, and it is not callibrated by anything, but instead was done by hand with the built in brightness/contrast/custom RGB settings. Both of them are very close to eachother, enough so for my tastes. but when photoshop changes what the image looks like, it's causing problems. Interestingly enough, when I disable callibration for the monitor on the left, the image does not change colors between monitors, but instead always appears as it does on the right. but then they don't match up and the whole screen looked washed out because it's uncallibrated, so that doesnt do me any good. Another interesting thing to point out, is when this image is saved as a .JPG, and viewed with firefox the image appears exactly like the monitor on the LEFT (which is my main monitor) despite the left monitor being the one that is force changed. does anyone have any suggestions? It also appears that windows photoviewer is behaving the same way, though firefox does not. Meaning when I open an image in all 3 on the left monitor, they look the same, but when opened on the right monitor, windows photo viewer and photoshop both display the image as brighter and redder than firefox does. This is frustrating, because it seems photoshop is changing the image with my callibration on my left monitor to match what it looks like on the web, which it does. but it doesn't do this for the right monitor, or when the left is uncallibrated. Another issue I can see with this is even if the UI is the same shade of gray, the images are different between the monitors because of this change. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Alright! So I reread through all this, poked at some things on the internet, and I'm going to attempt to summarize what would be a good solution for all this (And it seems, it still won't be perfect, but to get myself into the best environment I can for not messing with images for an hour trying to make them look nice before I post them to the web. I painted something yesterday on the cintiq, popped it over to my laptop screen and it just looked washed out and terrible.)
1. Get a X-rite EODIS3 i1 Display Pro, Callibrate laptop and cintiq. I do have the money to drop on something like this, especially if it's a time saver.
     Things I'm not sure about:
          a. There was a ton of complaints about the software not working when I checked reviews, but also a ton that said everything was great. most of them were mac users though.
          b. I'm not sure if problems would still be posed, even while calibrated, by me having a wide gamut monitor.
          c. I'm a terrible excuse for a human being and I think the colors showing up brighter on the wide gamut screen is pretty (I should just make my images this bright on a normal screen and there won't be any issues. >.>)
2. Set Firefox to color manage (easy enough)
3. Change my photoshop working space to sRGB (since they'll have been calibrated at this point)
3. Accept the fact that most of the people who look at my work will be doing so on a monitor that is almost certainly uncalibrated, and I can't control what they will see on my screen, but I CAN control if the colors are -actually- what I want them to be on any properly calibrated device. which is probably the best way to go anyways.
4. Make paintings, have fun.
Now, you two have been going on about all sorts of interesting things in here, and it seems that calibration issue run much much deeper than I ever thought. Do either of you have recommendations for how I should tweak this list of things to do or other things I can/ should do? I'm not currently a working professional, but if I have anything to say about it, I will be within a few years (I'm going to school for illustration and studying concept design on my own time) so it'd be useful for me to get into good habits now.

Second Display Quality Issue

I have a mid-2010 iMac 27" and it works wonderfully for me. I need a second monitor to place other applications on, so I grabbed an unused Asus VN247H monitor that my son was not using. It has a 24 or so inch display and accepts HDMI and VGA inputs. I purchased an Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter and connected the Asus to the back of the iMac. It works, but I'm underwhelmed by the quality I get on the Asus. Yeah, I know - it isn't a top-of-the-line monitor, and it is never gonna look as good as the iMac, but it isn't a $10 el cheapo, either. It is a good monitor and has a 1ms refresh rate. Anyway, no matter what resolution I try using, the output on that second display looks, well... crappy. The text letters are a little blurry, they are a lot larger than I figured they would be, and - I don't know - it just isn't what I was expecting. One thing I notice is that in the documentation for the monitor, it shows that I should be able to go up to 1920 x 1080 but that isn't the case. When I bring up the OS X System Preferences-->Displays, on the Asus VGA part it only shows a max setting of 1600 x 1200. I tried clicking that but the monitor complains and sez it's past the capability of itself. I am supposing it's because of having VGA instead of digital??
So, I've ordered the Apple Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter in hopes that an HDMI digital connection will give me better looking display and the full compliment of resolution options. Am I out in left field on this supposition? Or, is there some other thing I've not thought about in order to get a sharp looking second display?
Thanks, Jim

Well, after four days, there have been a grand total of ZERO replies to this post / question. Either my question was lame, or no one else has run into a second monitor quality issue. At any rate, I'm answering my own posting - perhaps someone, somewhere might run into the issue and come across this information.
The answer to the question is: YES, changing to an HDMI connection between the iMac and the secondary monitor made a HUGE difference in quality. Why I went with a VGA adapter in the first place is unknown. But the HDMI connection is for sure the way to go. Colors look good, text is "almost" as good as on the iMac.
Problem solved.

IMac Second Display won't power down

I've added an LG 20" widescreen as a second display for my 20" Intel iMac (white). When the iMac sleeps or powers down, the LG display goes blank but not black, power button remains on and a "check signal cable" message displays.
A second problem is that I've been trying to get the two displays to look the same, color-wise. The color match option under displays>color gets it close, but that option has disappeared from the list of choices. Before, I could choose from the LG color settings as well as several generic choices (Color match, Adobe RGB, etc.) Those other choices have gone away. The calibrate option is still there. I just upgraded to Leopard. Did that have anything to do with it or was it just a coincidence?

Have you checked the Energy Saver settings? System Preferences / Energy Saver.
If the settings are what you want, you can try this. Change them to anything at all then change them back to what you want. The restart the computer and reset the PRAM.
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Changed Color Management Behavior in CS6

hi,
i recently stumbled across the fact that in photoshop cs6 the color management behavior regarding dual monitor setups has changed.
behavior in photoshop cs5:
if more than 50 percent of a window was displayed on one of the monitors the corresponding monitor profile was used to render the image.
that totally makes sense to me.
but in photoshop cs6 the behavior looks like this:
if the window is completely on the primary display everything is fine, but if I drag the window and only pixel from that window appears on the secondary display, the profile from the secondary display is used to render the image.
which is in my opinion a complete nonsense.
Is there anyone else who has encountered this behavior?
or is there anyone who could tell me if this is a feature or a bug?
thanks

the second change is actually the change to the monitor profile of the secondary display. which is correct and the same behaviour as in photoshop cs5. but i don't know why the first change is there ...? but maybe thats not even a photoshop bug/feature and more of an os thing?
although it was definitly not occuring under cs5 on the same os version ...
As I said, I can't vouch for the behavior of Photoshop 13.x on Snow Leopard. I'm on Ps 13.0.6 under Lion 10.7.5. There is no change in this respect in relation to previous versions of Photoshop.
What you are seeing could be due to a variety of reasons, such as the version of the driver for your video card, or what you are calling "the first change" could simply be the image displaying using the monitor profile for your first video card before you move the image enough for the profile for the 2nd monitor "kicks in". Who knows?

Problems with FCP and my second display

Hi everyone !
I'd like to use for my editing and color correction a second display. I bought the JVC DT-V24L1D monitor, and plugged it into my MBP through a matrox mxo.
When inside FCP, I cannot find a way to display the canevas into my JVC screen, it displays the whole screen i already have on my laptop. I read the manual a good hundred times, and by following what is written I just got nothing. Can please somebody help me finding a way to set FCP ? Thanks.

You are probably better off posting this in the FCP forum, where there are several Matrox MXO users, but since I'm one, I'll give it a go.
When you install the Matrox software, you should have a whole new group of easy setups in FCP using the Matrox. If you are working with standard DV footage, choose the appropriate Matrox setup; i.e., Matrox MXO DV NTSC 720x480. There are also setups for HDV, etc.
After choosing an easy setup, and starting a new project, go to the view menu, and set your external video and audio to the same settings as the easy setup, if they aren't already correct.
Using Command/F12, you can switch from your regular display on the 2nd monitor to the FCP canvas.
A couple of other things to mention: for existing projects, you can change all of the above in your sequence settings, and under the View/External Video settings.
And, in system prefs/displays, set up your external display so that it is not mirroring the desktop; then you can create a dual display window arrangement in FCP, so that when you're not using the Matrox for viewing the canvas, you can have an expanded timeline, more space for your browser, etc., etc.
You can save your custom window arrangement, and toggle between it and the Matrox canvas view with the above mentioned Command/F12.

Crome - stuck in full screen on Second display

Hello
I am in need of some help here.
I have a dual screen set up
Main display - Apple 30" display
Second display - Apple 23" display
At one point I have enabled full screen mode with Google Crome on my 23" display and I can't get it out of Full Screen.
I have quit Crome and tried to start it holding down different keys - Command, option and also control, (alone not together)
No change, still runs full screen
UGH - hate it.
I have tried 'esc' and the blue arrows in the upper right of the screen both did not help.
Thanks

Can anyone tell me why a picture would change color when I try to download/upload it? It is the exact same picture- chosen the same way and when it goes to any other program it changes the color (I've tried canvas on demand and mpixpro. I've also tried

Can anyone tell me why this picture changes color when I try to download/upload it? It is the exact same picture I have taken from the same location. The image on the left is via preview and the image on the right is what is shows like when I try to download it. I have emailed it to myself and it shows fine on the computer and in CS4, but when I look at the download via my phone or on another computer it shows the wonky color on the right. I have checked the color space shows RGB/8 bit. Any ideas why or how to fix it? It isn't with any one specific session.... and I've tried it on both my desktop and my laptop- saved image to an external hard drive and to drop box. I've tried sending the image to canvas on demand, my email, mpxipro, POST editing- all the same result. Please HELP!! What am I doing wrong?

Most of the time you see something like that. The image in question has a color profile other then sRGB. Some image viewers/displayers are color managed and others are not. So the image do not look the same in all of the applications you use. So colors seem to change.
Try converting it to sRGB color and see if then looks the same all around. Also I think PC and Mac displays are set to different gamma something like 1.8 and 2.2
Though I'm colorblind I even see color variations.
