Color 1.0.4 on Mavericks- preview flashes

Hello,
I have FCS 2 on Mavericks installed and evything works fine except preview in Color 1.0.4
During playback or color correction preview flashes- I have only this one issue (I don't use qmaster so doesn't working pref pane is not issue for me)
Have you solution for this flashing preview in Color on Mavericks?
I don't want to buy and use Adobe Speedgrading because it's poor software

Color 1.0.4 isn't supported on Mavericks. That's 6 year old software on an OS that Apple made without making sure that FCP Legacy worked on it. Zero testing.
Solution...back up your files, reinstall the OS that works best with Final Cut Studio 2, then install all your apps. If you use this software to make a living, don't update the OS unless it is fully supported.

Color shift from content window to preview window

I need some help!!! When I open a photo in bridge the color is vibrant and vivid. When I click on the photo so I can view it in the preview box the color shifts and becomes dull and flat. Why is that? How do I fix it? After I have viewed the photo in the preview box the color stays as it is after the shift. So, the color doesn't return to the nice vibrant, vivid color I want to retain from the SOOC. My photo now retains the dull, flat color it recieved while in the preview box.
Thanks for the help.

Is your thumbnail quality set to Prefer Embedded (Faster)? The thumbnails created that way aren't color managed so that would explain why you're seeing differences between them and the preview

Color shift problem in Safari and Preview

I have recently had a color shift in Safari and in Preview. My monitor is color profiled (using eye-one) and images opened in Aperture, Bridge, Photoshop and the Color Management app look just fine. However, images on the web-browser (Safari) and in Preview show a definite and disagreeable increase in saturation, particularly in the red-orange range. Is there a suggestion on how to deal with this problem?
Thanks for the help.

This could be part of the problem > Known Issues | Adobe products on Mac OS 10.7 Lion
You can have Safari set to open PDF files in Preview.
Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder then click Get Info.
In the Get Info panel click: Open with
Select Preview
Click: Change all

Mavericks Preview corrupts image file

I am running Mavericks on iMac circa 2011. I can use Preview to open 16 bit tiff image files which are 1 or 2 MB each. Because the pixel values are small, I use the Auto Level button within the Adjust Color tool to see a decent image. However, if I then close the file by clicking on the x on the top left corner of the image, the saved image will now have zeros in the entire image. That is, opening it again will not show anything even with the Adjust Color tool I checked by opening it with MATLAB and sure enough, everything is zero. This does not occur if I do not try to adjust the image contrast using the Auto Level tool. This also does not occur if I hit the 'Reset' button within Adjust Color before closing the file. Please help!

Ever since upgrading to Mavericks, Adobe Flash Player doesn't work.

I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mavericks recently and since then, sites do not recognize that I have Adobe Flash Player installed at all. I currently have the most updated version: "Plug-in version 11.9.900.170 is installed." I noticed this when family and friends sent me e-cards. I go to the sites to view them and it tells me I need to download Adobe Flash Player.
I have uninstalled it twice and downloaded it twice. Installation is always successful and complete but when I test it to view an e-card sent to me from a reliable site, it still states that I need to install it to view the card. I HAVE IT!! lol I don't understand why the sites are not recognizing it on my computer.
I've tested it out on both Safari and Firefox and it doesn't work on either. Safari is 7.0.1 (current).
Can anyone help me fix this? Troubleshooting on Adobe Flash Player basically tells me to uninstall and re-install. Still doesn't help. ~sigh~
Thanks in advance for any help!

If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 5.
Step 1
If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, sign in to your YouTube account and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
Step 2
If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then from the menu bar select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
Step 3
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
Flash Player (failing).plugin
You may be prompted for your login password.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 4
Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from the domain "get.adobe.com". Don't click a link from any other website, including this one, because you can't trust links. They may be an attempt to trick you into installing malware masquerading as Flash. Type the address into the browser window. Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
Step 5
If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked
Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
Then click the button marked
Manage Website Settings...
if present and make sure that the website is not blocked for Flash.
Step 6
Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
Step 7
In the Safari preference window, select
Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
Close the window. Then select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.

After upgrade to Maverick, Preview sometimes doesn't respond to scroll

When I use two-finger scroll, sometimes it doesn't work, you have to wait or put arrow to other apps and change back to Preview so as to scroll. Is it bug of Maverick? Anyone also face this problem?

I also have been having this issue since day one of updating to Mavericks, I have researched online and many forums are reporting similar and additional problems with preview. As a student i use Preview everyday to edit my class notes, and the program has this aformentioned scrolling issue (and i have to do the same things you do alex to fix it) and i also find that if the preview file or files are open in the doc or in another desktop screen, that if i click the icon for the open PDF, the file does not open and even the double clicking animation is VERY delayed. (Normally if you double click the icon of an open PDF it should take you to that window with the file..)
Is there a fix or any way to report this to Apple to have it updated in a patch?
Thank you!

Color does not match printing in preview

Printing a photo directly from iPhoto ('08) does not match the color on screen. Using an Epson 2200.
The colors are dark and saturated. Maybe the problem is setting color management in the advanced dialog box- I have it set to: "No Color Adjustment" as per Epson.
Is there a setting that is recommended? I can't find any help in help.
I'm well aware of color management problems printing via Photoshop with the Epson printer.

Hi McJPP,
You're using one of the built in color setups for Photoshop, so no big deal there. Since you have your monitor properly calibrated and profiled, ColorSync shouldn't be having an issue handling the difference between the image's color space and your monitor's. Questions though. Is the image RGB? Does it have an embedded profile? If so, is it Adobe RGB 1998? I'm assuming that it does since that's your working RGB color space in Photoshop.
The grab on the left is the preview copy using:
By preview, do you mean the Preview button on the print dialogue box at the bottom left next the the PDF button? I'm guessing yes since I can produce the same kind of result. It's a bit hard to explain, but I'll try.
I took a simple grayscale image and made it RGB. I then did the same thing you did. Left image is Photoshop handling color for an Epson Stylus Pro 4000, using a profile I made for a DuPont paper. Then clicking the Preview button when the print dialogue comes up. Right image is letting the printer handle color and clicking Preview. The result is below.
Believe it or not, there's nothing wrong. Photoshop (more accurately, ColorSync) is showing you what it had to do to the pixel color values to adjust for how the inks perform on the chosen paper. The end result, with proper profiles, is that the printed image looks like what you see in Photoshop regardless of how it shows in Preview mode. The Epson driver doesn't make this visible cue even though you've turned ColorSync on there, so it simply shows you the same thing you see in Photoshop, even though it's making the same adjustment to the pixel color values.
You should get essentially the same final output no matter which way you print the image.

Yosemite Preview is not the same as Mavericks Preview!

Preview App in Yosemite renders annotations differently than Preview in Mavericks.
I have several PDFs that were annotated with previous versions of Preview that were great. Opening up those PDFs in Yosemite shows "stroked" text border around text boxes and a different font size, ruining the formatting and original annotation. It looks fine on Quicklook, but when the PDF is actually opened, there is change in the annotation formatting.
I have also tested opening these PDFs with Preview version 7 (from Mavericks) in Yosemite and everything appears as it always normally had. This definitely appears to be an issue with Version 8's rendering engine or layout engine. Note: I have only ever used Preview for these annotations
Here are some screenshots of the Preview issue:
First shot is of the PDF with Quicklook on Yosemite
Second shot is of the PDF opened with Preview 7 (Mavericks version) on Yosemite
Third shot is of the PDF opened with Preview 8 on Yosemite

I have been using Preview for a few years, and found it was very easy to use it to fill in forms (adding text in the right boxes, signing it, etc), or to annotate articles and theses written by my students (adding annotation boxes quickly). Now:
- I cannot get the "Text Insertion" function to do anything at all (so I cannot use Preview to fill in forms anymore).
- When I insert a line, it always gets put in the middle of the screen and I have to move both ends one by one (which is very slow). I cannot draw a line by clicking on origin and destination anymore (as I have done in drawing software for more than 20 years!).
- When I insert my signature, it always gets put in the center and has to be moved, which is very slow (why no more click and drag a rectangle ?).
- Annotations also always get inserted in the center and have to be moved later to the desired location.
This is all very slow and annoying. Operations that were done with a single click now require two or three clicks and mouse motions. And for text insertion, I just cannot see how to do it at all.
Is there a way to mitigate at least some of these issues ?
For now, I try to survive with the older version of Preview, but I notice that it does not behave very well anymore when installed in Yosemite. I also sent feedback. But I do need a solution ASAP, so if anyone has ideas, I will appreciate it greatly!
Thanks!

Background color still prints even though Page Preview: Options is unchecked

The Options button in Page Setup (to print out the actual background color), is NOT checked. This should cause the page to print with a white background. The web page I printed had a green background; as did the page I printed out. How do I prevent this as it wastes a lot of ink?
This seems to happen whenever the web page doesn't have its own background color and so either uses mine (green) or the system colors (background color is a light salmon). How do I get it to print out with a white background?

Trying to wrap my brain around this one.
Many programs? Are you printing different files or they same file? Is it a PDF?
If PDF and in Acrobat, have you checked the page setup (CommandShiftP).
This will let you know what size of paper Acrobat is expecting to print to.
In the bottom left corner of your screen is the status bar which should show the size of the page in your document. Does this match the sheet size you are printing to? In your preview of the Page, are you seeing the entire page or is the view zoomed in?
Sorry for all the questions but I'm trying to figure out what is going on. Acrobat can be down right nasty when it wants to.
Let me know

Problem with RED color in Aperture, iPhoto but NOT Preview

I'm having a weird display problem in aperture and iPhoto, as well as in the small thumbnail preview in the Get Info window in the Finder: photos with large areas of red appear over saturated and blotchy, while the same image will be displayed fine in Preview, Mail, Safari etc.
I have checked with a number of people using OSX on G4/G5 and Intel machines and running 10.4.9 and they ALL have the same problem.
An example of the problem can be found in this picture: http://oroux.com/trucs/red_bug.png
Left is the image in Preview, middle in Finder's Get Info window and right in iPhoto...
I've checked the profiles in ColorSync Utility and there is no problem on that side.
2.4GHz core2duo MacBookPro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I don't see how it could be a profile problem, since other people (see post above) have the same problem with their pictures. Also, I did some shots over the week-end, including a girl in a bright red dress and the dress shows the same oversaturated red blotches. The image was taken in RAW with my Nikon D80, I didn't do any changes in Aperture, and I reset the colorsync profile of the MacBookPro and DELL 24" screens to their factory defaults.
And when I display the fullscreen image in Aperture, I can see for a split second the CORRECT image, then it does some "color magic" and the details goes down the drain.
Plus, if you look at this image (http://oroux.com/trucs/red/testrouge/10-4-9qt7-1-6/comparaison.png, it's big, 2MB) showing screen captures of a detail of a photo in six different OSX apps, you'll see that not two display it in the same way, which is a real problem.

i created a simple flash movie...but when i tried to plug it
into my web page it would not allow me to preview it in the
browser....PLEASE NOTE: i already set my browser to "ROSETTA" but
still no luck..what is the problem... also i when i saved the file
i was sure to keep it all lower case letters and no spaces.....im
sure im looking over something minor..but could someone HELP PLEASE
thanks

I think I have just found the answer to my question. In case anyone else has this issue, I wanted to re-post with the answer. I work from an external networked drive. I have no idea why I never tried to test locally, I just always work off of that drive. Anyway, when I moved my files (the flv and fla files) to my desktop, everything works perfectly. Just a note, I did add my external drives in the security settings of the flash player but that obviously did not work.

Color in Photoshop file is different from Flash

specifically #fac51f
the flash file representation is much more pale in comparison
to the psd (and jpeg)
should i be using working space sRGB iec#####, or rgb adobe
1998?

Don't embed a color profile at all, Flash doesn't usually
handle it right. In PhotoShop, choose Edit > Assign Profile >
Don't Color Manage This Document
And go here to request Flash to convert color profiles
correctly when importing:

Color Correction -- render does NOT match preview

Something seems very odd about Color Correction.
I select a clip that is too dark. I adjust the slider to lighten it up while previewing. It looks perfect.
Now I APPLY and the rendered video is very different. Typically now way too light.
So I adjust render, adjust render, adjust render. This seems a crazy way to do edit!
Why doesn't the render match the preview?
PS: Sometimes only part of a clip renders with the remainder being black. What's going on?

Hi
Not really knowing.
a. The tool in iMovie HD 6 crude near of no use
b. How do You judge the result. On Your Mac monitor - Not so good just an approx.
I connect my miniDV tape Camera via FireWire
Connect the analog out to a small TV/Monitor
Set in iMovie "Playback via Camera"
This picture on the TV/Monitor is very close to my final product
c. Color-correcting tool in iMovie'08 are better than in previous versions
BUT the link "Playback to Camera" Doesn't exist any longer (MAJOR FAULTH)
d. This made me taking the step over to FinalCut Express with Near Pro tools to
do this. And a setting can be copied and applied to several clips that need same
correction.
Yours Bengt W

Fill Color Changes When I Paste a Shape, Flash CS6

Whenever I paste, or paste in place, a shape (this does not happen with strokes), the fill color I currently have selected will change to match the color of what I've just pasted. If I paste something with multiple colors, it randomly chooses one of those colors to switch to. I've tried running searches online for what this phenomenon is, or how to change it, but I've come up with nothing. I'm using a mac, but a friend uses Flash CS6 on her windows machine, and it does the same thing. This doesn't happen in CS4.
Is there a workaround? Or is this an annoying new feature I just have to live with?

I can only verify what you see and explain the behavior but I do not believe there is any way to alter that behavior. When the new object is added to the stage (via paste) Flash makes sure to select it and it's unavoidable (and desired behavior) that it would trigger the contextual (color) panels with the correct information for the current selection. This appears to be a bug in that regard.
You can always report it in a bug submission, I think the behavior is a clear bug and it should be easy to fix. It affects CS6 which is still a current product (due to AS2.0 support mostly), and CC, so it's important. Good find!
