Color Balance Changed with Update

I have some HD Test pattens that I use to calibrate my video projector with via my AppleTV and my Win7 computer. Both are connected to the projector via HDMI though a switcher unit. The Projector sences a different input when the swithcer is changed allowing me to set indivigual balance levels for the ATV or Computer.
Unit the update the settings were very close between each unit. The Win7 machine has perfect color balance through Red Green and Blue filters. The ATV was never perfect but very close.
Since the update, and here nothing has changed except the update, the ATV colors are well off running the same test signals. The RGB levels are out. I have tried each of the 3 signal feeds from the ATV in the settings menu, but nothing.
The colors now seem to be too vibrant and look false. I can componsate for this in the projector, but why did it change?
Has anyone else noticed this? Again all that changed was the update!!
Nathan

The closest I could getting it back to the same colors before the upgrade is changing it to the RGB Hi setting, and limiting the HDMI Color in my projector to Limited, then adjusting the Brightness very slightly. Everything now is much closer to the correct color balance through Blue test glasses. Still not as perfect as it was, or running off my Win7 machine.
Nothing has changed in my setup apart from the ATV Update. Do they not check this stuff!!

Macbook name (number) keeps changing with updates

Hello,
I would like to understand why my macbook pro changes the number, displayed in parenthesis, on my iCloud. Right now I'm on Macbook Pro (7)
Am I doing something wrong? This happens every time I install a mayor update, such as Yosemite. I was in the "Beta program" so maybe that also affected.
Looking for my Computer on my iPad it appears as "Macbook (7)"... also on icloud on the web.
Would appreciate any help to understand this and to know if it affects functionality, right now I can't sync Pages via icloud.
Thanks.

I've just started experiencing the same problem with my MB Pro after my upgrade to Yosemite. I don't believe it is iCloud related. For some reason the OS is thinking it's seeing two computers on the LAN with the same name.
In previous OS X versions I've seen this self-imposed auto-renaming because there WERE two computers using the same computer name set up in System Preferences -> Sharing on a LAN.
I have an iMac and MBPr that are on my LAN, and connected via the newest AirPort Extreme to the internet. I can assure you there is no other computer on the LAN with the same name. Yet Yosemite just auto-renames the MBPr. In fact I've currently got MBP (3), MBP (4), MBP (5), and MBP (6) listed in the Finder Sidebar. Worse yet, there is no way to remove those previous names from the Finder Sidebar. How long will that list of MBP names get?????
If I go to System Preferences -> Sharing and change the computer name back to MBP, it stays for about 15 seconds before being reset to MBP (6).
There are several other people on the MacInTouch web site reporting the same problem without any resolution. Apparently there are a limited number of people experiencing the problem. Perhaps related to their LAN configuration or some other factor.
I would like to know how to fix the problem. I believe it is a Yosemite bug, and will try to report it to Apple as such.

Color Settings change with resizing Photoshop window

I have been seeing a weird phenomenom with Photoshop lately and I hope someone can help me figure this out. I have been editing photos in Lightroom. I occasionally take a photo into Photoshop for more editing and when I do this, if I make any change to the program window side, the color changes to a darker, more muted looking photo. If I minimize the program, nothing changes. If I either change the window size to a smaller, non-maximized window or drag it to my secondary display, the color changes to what I am guessing is a different color space. The only way to fix this is to shut down Photoshop and restart it. I am sure this is some setting in Photoshop color settings, but not sure. Should I have my color settings set to my monitor calibration file or should it be Adobe RGB? Not sure what Lightroom edits in. I do have it set up to send the file to Photoshop in Adobe RGB.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Toby

Playlist shuffle view changed with update

Hi all,
I recently upgraded to version 8.0.2.20 and installed Genius. Since then, I have noticed that my shuffled playlists are displaying differently. Previously when I shuffled my tracks the songs would appear in shuffled order. Now iTunes just skips around my playlist view to the current song. Is there a way to change my view back? I have tried sorting by Last Played and the View menu doesn't seem to have the option I'm looking for.
TIA for the help!

You probably have your playlist sorted on one of the named columns - the little black triangle tells you which column it is sorting on.
In order for the shuffle to display normally, you need to click in the header row in the column just to the left on name. The little black triangle should be there.

Recovery Slider: Color Changes with Camera Profiles, not so much with ACR 4.4 Profile?

I'm sure there's a reason for this, and not necessarily a defect, but I have to ask:
The recovery slider: if I use the Recovery Slider on an image set to the ACR 4.4 camera calibration profile, this helps control my highlights without affecting the overall color/tint of the image. However, if an image is set to the Adobe Standard camera calibration profile (or any of the other camera profiles) and I use the Recovery Slider on that image, the affect on the image seems to be different: the highlights are also controlled, but not without a perceived effect on the color tint of the image. The color balance almost seems to slightly change. Particularly noticeable on skin tones. I'm working with 5D files, using Lightroom 2.3 on a Mac.
What's the reason for this? Anyone experience similar?
Thanks

This is a known "problem". It is caused by "hue twists" that are present in the camera-matching profiles and the new Adobe profiles. Several threads on this in the ACR forum:

Color Balance Adj Layer Characteristics Changed from CS4- CS5?

Maybe some guru with better connections to Adobe knows the answer to this. (or maybe I just forgot).
I just discovered (and I don't think it is pilot error) that the characteristic behavior of the Color Balance Adjustment Layer is different in CS5 than it was in CS4/CS3. (Much stronger in CS4/CS3).
In addition, there is also an associated behavior that is like a buried legacy mode that is not made visible to the user. Here is what I mean.
If I create an image in CS4 with a single Color Balance Adj Layer, I get an adjusted image.
If I open that same PSD file in CS5, the same image is displayed.
If I use the same base image, yet create the Color Balance Adj Layer from within CS5, the adjusted image is different than the prior two.   So the Color Adjustment Layer acts like it has a hidden legacy mode where the characteristics are one type if created in CS4/CS3 yet a different characteristic if created in CS5.
My mind might be slipping (or my cold has the better of me) because I do not remember this as a documented change and I searched the internet for "What's new in CS5" etc etc. I don't remember anything on other forums about this either.
I guess the good news is, the new characteristic of the Color Balance Adjustment Layer is better behaved with a transfer curve with less clipping for highlights and shadows. Very similar to the better behavior of the change of the Brightness/Contrast Adjustment Layer going from CS2 to CS3.
Here are some comparison images.
This is the Layer Stack Used with Base Image of simple B to W gradient with CB Layer on top with just the highlights pegged to red. This is the exact same Layer Stack for all of the images shown:
Here is the first image. This was created in PS CS4 and displayed from CS4 with the conditions show above:
This is the same image from above that was saved as PSD with profile and them imported to PS CS5 with same profile. There was no change:
This next image is using the same base gradient, yet then creating the CB Layer from within PS CS5 with the same parameters, only the Red pegged for the Highlights:
Does someone have an easy answer for this. Can someone duplicate this and confirm the change from CS4 to CS5. A test by someone else would either confirm I am off base with pilot error or there is something to this.
And yes, all the images were sRGB and kept in sRGB for creation/display. All Screenshot images were the images brought up side by side on the same color managed monitor.   All Edit > Color Settings were identical.
Thanks in advance for any help

OK, Chris, but before I perform my act of self flaggelation for the benefit for all and my extra embarrassment, let me add in some useful information about the Color Balance Adj Layer that could be helpful.
I was working with another individual who wanted a better understanding the color balance adj layer, what is was exactly doing, how the shadows, midtones, and highlights interacted, and the differences with preserve luminosity checked or not, and also why the preserve luminosity was so hard to predict (e.g. did not really preserve luminoisty).
Without going into the deails of all of that, the tidbit I will leave as far as penance for my stupid original post above is that the Color Balance Adj Layer with the Preserve Luminosity box checked does a reasonable job or preserving luminoisty for the midtone adjustments yet definitely does not for the shadow and highlight adjustments.
An easy workaround for this is to just set the Color Balance Adj Layer Blend to Color which preserves Luminosity of the image presented from lower layers while maintaining the Color as best it can from using the CB Adj Layer (It holds the Hue and does its best to keep the same Saturation yet the Luminoisty from the presented image from lower layers takes prescendence). This does a much better job at preserving Luminosity than using the checkbox option.    I usually use this approach and keep the Preserve Luminiosity box turned off.
The error that I made was during the fairly involved exchange with this other individual, at some point I accidentally set the Layer Mask for the CB Adj Layer to 50% gray and did not notice that it had changed from the default white. Much further down the line, when this other individual could not exactly recreate my results, he mentioned working in CS3. Thinking this odd, I pulled up CS3, created the image from scratch (without the erroneous mask change to 50% gray) so therefore I duplicated his results and did not realize the error was in my original Layer Stack. To make a long story short, I went and checked for differences in all system settings, profiles, Color Settings, opacity settings, Blend settings, Layer Style settings (and their options) etc, etc and overlooked a change in the Mask gray level.       When I quickly flashed back and forth between the two documents/stack it finally popped out at me. Mea Culpa.

Colorizing hair with Color Balance Layer VS. Paintbrush?

I'm following a tutorial and want to change the color of someone's hair, so I make a color balance adjustment layer, change the color, press option delete, and then paint over the hair with white to make this color come back. How is this all different from just getting the paint brush tool on a new layer and painting over the hair? Isn't the end result the same and a bit easier?
Thanks.

Both methods work
The masked method may take longer, but get you better results, because you can stack various color corrections as in the screenshot below. You can also do more like turn a brunette into a blond with the mask method. With the paintbrush I would not attempt such a correction.
If you have a low budget job with 100s of images, you may just want to use the paintbrush set to a color mode.

Can I change color balance/tones in shadows/highlights only?

Let's say RGB #s tell me the blacks in my image have too much blue or the whites too much yellow, red, etc.
With Lightroom, can I change color balance in just the shadows or highlights separately? I know I can in CS3, just can't figure out how in LR.
I use Win XP.
THanks
P

You can use the Split Toning panel (see attachment). If the problem is in the deep shadows drag the balance to -90 or lower (-90 to -100), drag the saturation slider until you see the image appearance changing, then adjust hue slider until the colour cast is balance out. You may need to pull saturation back towards zero a tad after hue is adjusted. For highlights push the balance to positive values.

HT1918 I can't seem to update my apps or make any purchases on from my account. Nothing has changed with my credit card information and for some reason the iTunes Store tells me my information is incorrect. What do I do?

I can't seem to update my apps or make any purchases on from my account. Nothing has changed with my credit card information and for some reason the iTunes Store tells me my information is incorrect. What do I do?

Yes, it's frustrating.
I don't have my iPod with me but, as I recall, the change is done in Settings/Store. That change will apply to NEW purchases. However, be aware that all purchases are permanently associated with the Apple ID that was originally used. Generally, it's only a problem when you need to update an app. IF you do your updating from iTunes and your logged in to the "wrong" ID, you'll need to log out and back in again. It's easier from the iPod as you do not need to log out/in but you do need to know the password.
Unfortunately, you can not merge IDs nor can you transfer purchases from one ID to another. Go here to find out exactly what you have. I have the same problem so I deliberately made both passwords identical to make things slightly easier for me.

I cannot install iTunes updates as of today. Does anyone have any idea what changed with iTunes?

The question apparently needs to be typed in twice... good work. Here it is again:
I cannot install iTunes updates as of today. Does anyone have any idea what changed with iTunes?

Is this a distinct issue from the 42404?
If so, are you getting an error message when you try to install iTunes? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

Sales order display-how to change color of item with high level 0

Please does anyone know how can i chenge the color of item with high level 0 in display of sales order in red or yellow so it can be seen better for better searching on page?
thank you in advance...
regards..

You'd probably have to do a modification in SD for that. But what you can do, is make the higher level item not changeable. You could also set the display range to UHAU to only see the main items, do this in transaction VOV8. Or you could change your item category in VOV7 only to show main items.
good luck
