Color calibration change when opening certain apps in OSX 10.8?

Hey guys.
I've noticed something weird when opening certain applications in Mountain Lion. For one thing, whenever I open say Final Cut X, the entire color gamut changes on my display. It doesn't look bad or anything. It's almost like the computer is changing color calibrations... like when you used to be able to select Adobe RGB in the display preferences in OSX 10.6. Anyone know if this is an intentional thing when using pro applications? Because I also notice it when I open up iPhoto and when I start "screen recording" in Quicktime.

I recently started noticing the same issue after upgrading to Moutain Lion. The screen will change from a warm tone to a cooler bluish tone. I think it has to be a bug, as I've had the MBP for over a year running Snow Leopard and never noticed this. I hope there is a fix on the way as this is no good for editing photos and graphic work.

  • Sudden color temperature change when opening some programs

    I got this sudden color temperature change when I open Photoshop, Maya and a few other games. When I quit the programs the color goes back to normal. It first started happening once a while and I didn't really notice, but now it's become a regular thing... I think it begun after upgrading to Yosemite. It's quite uncomfortable to my eyes but it's bearable. I'm just concerned whether it's a sign for something worse. Please please help!
    I took photos of before and after the color change, basically it becomes much brighter and more blueish.

    Did you ever find a solution for this? It recently started for me too, and it's already getting on my nerves First I thought it was because of dynamically switching the graphics card but unfortunately it happens when I use it on an external monitor only (and thus is locked to the Radeon card)...

  • Color Swatch changes when opened in Photoshop CC 2014

    I'm not sure if anyone else has encountered this, here is the scenario:
    I create a CMYK color swatch in Kuler and save the swatch, download it as a .ase file, and then load the swatch in Photoshop CC 2014. 
    When the swatch is loaded all of the colors are lighter than the colors in my kuler swatch.
    The below image shows the top kuler swatch, and the colors that were imported once loaded in Photoshop.
    TOP: screenshot of my kuler swatch from the kuler website
    BOTTOM: screenshot of the colors from my swatch once imported into Photoshop CC 2014
    Does anyone know why this is happening and how it can be fixed?
    Thanks!

    That's because color management is different in Kuler and PS.  The good news is that Kuler Panel is now available for PS 2014 at  https://creative.adobe.com/addons/products/2507
    You can directly set active color from this panel or include the whole theme into the swatches panel without change in appearance.

  • IPhone crashes when opening certain apps

    My iPhone crashes whenever I open the Mail, YouTube, Safari, Stocks, iTunes, App Store, and iPod apps, my iPhone instantly exits the app. This also happens when I tap on the "clear cookies" option in settings. So far it does not appear to affect any third-party apps, or any of the other standard apps that are installed on the phone. I have tried resetting, powering on and off, and restoring the phone many times to no avail. It seems to be mainly the apps connected to the internet, although there are non-internet apps involved. I am running iOS 4.3.3 on iPhone 4 on AT&T. Please help me!

  • When I open certain apps it says my device's date is incorrect. But on my calendar and general settings, it's all correct!

    When I open certain apps it says my device's date is incorrect. But on my calendar and general settings, it's all correct!

    Try changing the date - doesn't matter to what - just change it - go back to the app and I assume that you will get the same message. Go back to the settings and change the date and time to automatic again and see if the apps will work after that. Turn location services on in the settings as well.

  • Feh showing black images when opening certain .bmp files

    Hi all,
    I've been using feh (I'm using imagemagick too) from quite a bit and today I noticed it shows plain black images when opening certain .bmp files, those files are obtained from a Java WebService and they may not be correcty formed, still firefox can correctly visualize them. Would it be possible to make feh correctly display them ?

    I've set Photoshop to ask me if there's a conflict with embedded color schemes but it doesn't ask when opening this file. So I presume it doesn't use any specific profile. (Can I check this directly somehow?)
    EDIT: I've now set to ask if there is no profile embedded and Photoshop now says that the image has no embedded RGB profile.
    My color profile within Photoshop is set to sRGB which is the default for my display.
    When I try switching to other RGB profiles in the list, the colors change but the distortions are still there no matter which profile I choose.

  • Has anyone solved the problem with " lagging " response when opening nay app ?

    since " upgrading " ( if you can call it that ! ) to IOS7 on iPhone 4, everyone is complaining about the delay when opening any App. At the Genius bar at Apple store they referred to this as " lagging ". After a quick diagnostic of my phone, they suggested a full Restore. Big waste of my time and data. No change whatsoever. I had to go through the full process of syncronizing music and photos and resetting everything.
    I also talked about the new Calendar and especially the Reminders. The new Reminders App is quite simply horrible and no longer attractive and consequently a useless Icon. Even the calendar is labor intensive. I tried to register a future doctor's appointment and the receptionist finally said " Why dont I just call you a day befpre ? ". How Apple managed to make something so simple so complicated is beyond me. The rotary calendar anc clock is a joke.
    It bears repeating, Apple makes too many unnecessary design changes, I dont want to have to invest all this time going to work shops to figure out what they have done with basic apps, especially if its to find out what I already figured out.
    I would however like to know what Apple intends to do about the lagging. I have another 18 months on the iPhone 4.

    No. It was designed to work that way.

  • Macbook pro retina color profile changes when switching from integrated to discrete

    Late 2013 macbook pro retina color profile changes when auto switching from integrated to discrete graphics card. Problem started after updating to 10.9.3

    Same here. Really annoying because I have my screen calibrated for photo editing, which makes it much warmer than the default color profile. A lot of websites cause the graphics cards to switch for a couple of seconds, which causes the profiles to switched back and forth a few times, everytime. Really annoying, and dissapointing to see, considering Apple released like a hundred .3 betas.
    You can use gfxCardStatus to make it stay on one graphics card over the other... Just remember to change it back when you're using a program that actually needs the descrete card.

  • Preview crashes consistently when opening certain PDFs

    Preview crashes consistently when opening certain PDFs. I have Adobe Acrobat Professional and it is able to read the PDFs. Preview declares that "Couldn’t open the file. It may be corrupt or a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize." and crashes. It is less than graceful. I also have noticed that every time it crashes, I lose 40MB of disk space.
    Other than individually marking "bad" files as acrobat files are there any solutions to this poor behavior by preview.
    I also need to know how to recover the disk space. I have no idea where the files are being created. I checked /cores, but no joy.

    Hi,
    Try deleting the Preview and Sidebar preference files.
    Open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left. Now open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
    Move the com.apple.Preview.plist and the com.apple.sidebarlists.plist files from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
    See if that makes a difference.

  • The zoom in zoom out gesture doesn't work on my iPhone 5c. Like when opening an app it doesn't zoom out and opens.

    The zoom in zoom out gesture doesn't work on my iPhone 5c. Like when opening an app it doesn't zoom out and opens. It also doesn't zooms in while pressing the home button to return. The gesture is just like any other Android phone. Like while closing an app by pressing the home button the icons seem like zooming in and falling back to their respective places. This thing happens in my friends' iPhones but this thing doesn't happen on my iPhone 5C. Please help.. I am unable to find anything wrong with the settings either.

    I have another query though. Is it possible to always logged into my Gtalk from iPhone? I am using an app called Gtalk Lite. But every time I double press the home button and swipe up the apps to close them from running in the background Gtalk lite logs me off. I have to log in to Gtalk lite again. I was looking for something like that happens on Android phones. You are always logged in even after you close them from running in the background. And also is it possible to log in to more than one gmail account on Gtalk in iPhone?

  • External screen dims when opening different apps?

    Hi All ----
    Seems my external screen dims and rectifies when opening different apps - like some kind of brightness adjustment going on... it doesnt happen on the MBP, just on the external screen --- i've checked all possible settings on Ext. Displ. / re-booted / repaired perms... cant quite figure it out.
    I dont think this is energy-saver related.
    Many thnx for any help in adv. ---
    cheers,
    J.

    The problem with that is, it's hard to put it back together without assuring that you're not pinching the cable again.
    Instructions can be found here.
    As he says, the cable can be found at Small Dog Electronics:
    http://www.smalldog.com/product/43417
    If you need replacement feet, they can be found at MicroDoc.
    The specific link you need on PowerBook Tech's website can be found here.
    If it looks like too much for you to handle, you may want to check out DT & T Computer Services. Perhaps in a metropolitan area like Austin you can check the Yellow Pages and find a technician willing to match the price.
    At one point, DominionTech in Colchester, Vermont was offering the repair for $79.90, but I'm not sure if that price is still available.
    Good luck.

  • Can anybody say why In the layer menu the background color is white when opening a layer mask, and why does it automatically turns black by simply opening the layer mask properties menu? The vector mask is white anyway.

  • Why system alarm sound when opening an app on my MBP 13"?

    Recently started to hear system alarm sound when opening an app., eg. Mail, Safari (usually from the Dock). No apparent operational problem, but quite annoying, especially since I don't know why. Happens on my 13" MBP, but not on my iMac, both running ML 10.7.4.
    Repair Disk Permissions and Verify Disk both OK.
    Any clues from anyone??

    Disable: Play user interface sound effects in System Preferences > Sound > Sound Effects
    If that doesn't make a diffeence, check your Dashboard widgets.
