Color Calibration Changes After Calibrating.

Hi,
I've been trying for hours now to calibrate my new external display for my new 15" Macbook Pro.
It's an LG M2380D.
And I just can't get it to look 'right', it seems like every time I get it to look right for a video still (i.e. as close to the original image as possible) then other OS X elements are washed out, too contrasted or both.
Stranger still is that when i fel i have done a good calibration that looks right and I am happy with, once I click OK after naming the profile the calibration drops down to be darker and have more contrast, completelty ruining all calibration I've just done.
All I want to do is to make it look the same as the MBP internal display so they match.

If none of the previous suggestions work for you then try the following as a last resort:
System Preferences>Display>Display
Check the Colors & Brightness settings.
My Color setting is set to Millions which I believe is the default setting.
Now click on the Color button.
Check Display Profile
Is Show profiles for this display only enabled or disabled?
If necessary click on the Calibrate button & do the necessary.
Now in the bottom right corner, click on the purple button w/the black ? mark in the middle. This will bring up the help window.
Midway down, click on the Colorsync Utility link.
The next window should be Profile First Aid.
Read & follow the instructions/details of About Profile First Aid: & do the necessary to Verify & Repair.

Monitor Color Profile Changes after FUS

My monitor color profile changes after fast switching users, and then I cannot change it back in the prefs for display-color. Attempting to choose (restore) my chosen calibrated color profile does not work.
The only solution is restarting. Loging out and back in does not fix it, only a restart.
What could be causing this?

Color/Gamma changed after 8.0.2 update (Windows)

After I updated AE to 8.0.2, I noticed that clips are now being rendered a little lighter and sharper than before. Seems as if the color and/or gamma management was changed, but I'm almost certain it wasn't me because I never use those features. Here's how I noticed:
Last week, shortly after updating AE, I opened a project created in January in order to make some minor changes to a 30ss TV spot done entirely on AE. I was in a hurry, so after revising some text and graphics, I rendered only the required segment. Then, I proceeded to insert the partial AVI with the changes on top of the original AVI on a Premiere timeline.
Immediately, I noticed something odd. After doing an A/B comparison between the two at exactly the same point in time, the difference was obvious: Gamma was off. Switching off the revised AVI on track 2 revealed that the original was a bit darker. The new clip looked even a bit sharper, more highlighted. They didn't match so I had to render the whole 30ss spot again, or else, the cut would've been noticeable. It happened again on a second 30ss spot done on an entirely different project, which convinced me that it had to be the latest AE update.
From the beginning I worked both projects at 8 bpc, color management off, OpenGL entirely off and source material unchanged. All clips are rendered as AVI using the Blackmagic MJPEG codec, which I updated last December. Quicktime hasn't been updated either.
Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone has a suggestion other than resetting preferences? Anything would be helpful.
Neil

In fact, both commercials have Quicktime (PNG) backgrounds from iStockPhoto. A MediaCore bug makes perfect sense to me. I'll check other projects that don't include .MOVs to see what happens. Thanks, Mylenium.

Color profile changes after I login but I can't find the original profile

After I login but before everything loads, my color profile looks perfect. But then it looks like the color profile switches and everything gets a little too dark (not brightness, contrast). I go look at my color profiles and cycle through them, but nothing matches what I initially saw. I've unchecked the "Show only profiles for this display" and those don't match either. Is there a way to find out why/when/how that profile switches and what it's using before the switch?

If none of the previous suggestions work for you then try the following as a last resort:
System Preferences>Display>Display
Check the Colors & Brightness settings.
My Color setting is set to Millions which I believe is the default setting.

Oracle seeded form color got changed after registration of a custom form

Hi,
I have register a custom form in Oracle apps 11i.
Custom form is opening properly but when we are navigating to open the oracle standard form, oracle standard form is coming completely black.
Could you please through some light on it. It would be great help.
Regards

Sounds like your new form was not based on the EBS template.fmb so your new form has a different color pallet. When developing for the EBS, you should always use the template.fmb as the starting point for any new form. To fix this, I recommend you open the template.fmb and your new form and then copy all of the objects from your new form into the template.fmb and then save the template.fmb as your new form. You could change the color pallet, but there may be other things your new form is missing so it would be best to start with the template.fmb. This will ensure you have all of the default triggers and libraries attached that an EBS form should have. :)

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.

Photo color calibration?

Hi,
I took some pics recently and I found that the color calibration was pretty poor. I tried to take a dark red flower on a the photo it appears a glaring pink hue, it's just plain ugly... Is there any way to have a more natural color calibration ?

Have the same issue and posted it once. Hoped Lollipop might fix the problem but didn't change anything after the update. The pink spot still appears in some cases and taking photos of red colored items always appear pink. Other all colors are very real and accurate, but this issue with red is awful. Tried everything, camera settings, manual mode all settings, image stabiliser, image enhamcement, installing 3rd party camera programs..... all useless. Seems a serious hardware issue with Xperia Z3 Compact.

Color calibration issues with Mavericks

Hello All,
I found my MBA's color calibration has changed dramatically after installing OS X Mavericks. The shared links, icons at doc etc. are highly saturated. Are you experiencing the same problem? How to solve this?

Did anyone find a fix yet? I'm experiencing the same issues... In my case it possibly affects icons but also photos, and more remarkably so: colors appear too contrasted and saturated, especially reds. Crushed blacks, loss of detail in dark areas, and overall darker images. Both in Safari and when I browse and preview pics in Finder. For whatever reason, the color change is especially noticeable in thumbnails... This is unacceptable for me. I don't want any filters whatsoever. Anyone got a clue on how to reverse this behavior? Please Apple, fix this.

Color calibration on new iMac

Hi,
I am aware that the new (late 2012) iMacs are color calibrated on assembly. There is some question as to whether or not they can be re-calibrated after you purchase them.
Is anyone aware if they can be re-calibrated?
Thanks

Thanks for the answer.
What was worrisome to me was in the post below. In the section labled "The Potential Deal Breakers"
http://cdtobie.wordpress.com/2012/10/29/the-new-apple-imac-may-be-your-next-imag ing-workstation/
Here the writer mentions that the factory calibration is written into the graphics firmware never to be changed again.
Can i presume this is just not true?
For a professional photographer not to be able to re-calibrate their screen would be a nightmare.
Thanks again

W520 External Color Calibrator stopped working with updated Pantone v1.1 software

Can someone from Lenovo help me with this issue? Lenovo updated the color calibrator software in Aug 2012. They broke an external color calibrator working. L1/2 has been completely unhelpful. I also escalated to customer service with little result except that they say it is not Lenovo software and they do not have to support it! Unacceptable, the software isprovided by Lenovo. Lenovo doc also says an external color calibrator is supported. Lenovo needs to take responsibility for fixing this. Here are the email chains. I really want a refund or someone to ensure this package that Lenovo distributes is fixed!
Thanks for your help.

I do not want this case closed and disagree. This is Lenovo provided software and according to Lenovo an external calibrator is supported. I want someone to take responsibility for getting this fixed. Lenovo has provided this software and needs to work with the vendor to ensure it works. Who do I need to speak to in management? I do not appreciate the way support has just shuttled this around and nothing has gotten done.

Hi Doris, Thanks for your time, re: case 184142. Can we get this package fixed? Jeremy’s response below just makes no sense to me, same as that call center in Atlanta is so problematic. I work in IT and when I phone that call center I really wonder sometimes whether I am even speaking with another IT person on the other end of the line. These are Thinkpad, mines is an expensive one, and I am very upset that this is the level of support I get (especially after upgrading my warranty even!). Please see what you can do. I would also like a manager to speak to DeAndrea at the call center. I am sure the calls are recorded and he was completely out of line and not helpful. Just like now I wonder ‘why did Jeremy even contact me!’ what with the response below. Please phone me tomorrow as we discussed. Have a great day!

Error with latest update to Pantone Color Calibrator Software (v1.1) and Eye one external calibrator 09-19-201211:39 AM - edited 09-20-201209:10 AM Hi. Can someone have a look at the Pantone 1.1 package. I am using an eye one display calibrator with the updated Pantone software and the calibration does not work. I get an error about an 8 bit image missing (have attached a screenshot). The calibration is not correct and Windows Photoviewer is pink. This was working OK with the v1.0 of the software (no longer on the w520 driver page). The error message is "There was an error loading the specified profile. Please make sure the image has an embedded profile and it is an 8-bit image." This was working fine before the update to v1.1. Thanks

I am getting the runaround!!!
Hi Doris,
I just left you a voice mail. One of the reasons I bought this laptop was for 3d photography. If I cannot use an external color calibrator and display then the laptop is not fit for purpose for the reasons I bought it. This software is ONLY available from Lenovo. According to Lenovo’s own doc, and the software’s doc, an external color calibrator is SUPPORTED. Lenovo needs to step to the plate and fix this. Not ME. If Lenovo needs to go to Pantone, or x-rite, then they Need to do that. Lenovo provided software that is not available to the public from x-rite or Pantone, and the software is to support Lenovo provided hardware (least so far as the internal calibrator), this software ALSO supports an external calibrator for use with an external display. The software supports both internal and external, and I would like to use my external display for 3d photography. This needs to be fixed please.
What are we going to do to resolve this? At his point of the runaround I’ve been getting I would like a complete refund.
Thanks,
Christopher

Hi Kelli,
As you know the ‘software’ purchase is by virtue of purchasing the laptop with the color calibrator. Are you saying you will refund my cost for the calibrator? I don’t think you quite get how much time I have spent with support with this laptop. I have had multiple issues with the it. The calibrator, failed BT adapter, Sudden Shutdown syndrome (where the machine would just shutoff on its own –well documented in the Lenovo forums and I have at least a dozen emails on this issue) as well as many issues with the Displayport connection and an external 3d display for which I spent months working with Nvidia to resolve. This laptop has wasted a huge amount of my time. The support has been atrocious.
I would like a refund for 1. The laptop 2. The external color calibrator I cannot use because the software from Lenovo does not work (this package is NOT available from x-rite as well –It is sold to Lenovo). I have a receipt for the color calibrator and would be happy to provide that.
Thank you,

Color Calibrating a Dell u2711 monitor in 10.6

I bought the Dell u2711 monitor right before the Apple 27" monitor was announced. I have had a horrible time trying to get the color calibration right. I don't have a hardware color meter, but that hasn't been a real problem with past monitors.
It seems that the Dell monitor functions in a wider color space, so I am not getting predictable results using photoshop in sRGB (for web graphics) or in general. Even if I restrict the monitor to the sRGB colorspace, some colors, such as reds and yellows appear washed out, while blues look fine. If I use the standard color setting, the color is super saturated when compared to my MBP LCD.
What are the best practice settings for calibrating this monitor for day to day web work?

what if you change your white balance setting or gamma.
Try native white point and 2.20 gamma

Recommended color calibrator/monitor calibration tool?

Hi all,
It is a few years since I have purchased a color calibrator for my monitor and need to purchase a new one now at the new company I am at. It will be for my 30" Apple Cinema Display. As usual, I always come straight to these forums for your advice FIRST before making my selection.
In the past I have used both GretagMacbeth's Eye-One Display and the Pantone Huey. I have not tried the Colorvision Spyder.
Of course, these have each changed and been improved since I last worked with them, so can you make some recommendations as to which you feel may work best for you, and can thus recommend to me?
Thanks a lot in advance for your help!
Best regards,
Christine

ColorMunki has been getting lots of press.

Color Calibration for Samsung T220?

Hi,
I recently bought a Samsung T220 to connect to my MacBook using the Displayport to DVI adapter, but I'm having hard time calibrating its color -- it always looks over saturated. The best profile I tried so far is the default profile for the laptop LCD, but it still looks over saturated.
Is there a way to fine tune the profile? When I went to the color calibration wizard, the screen seems to change to use another profile.
Also in the color calibration wizard, what's the exactly meaning of the word "neutral"?
or, better yet, does anybody have the ColocSync profile for this monitor?
Thanks.

I got the following response from Datacolor. So I guess the Spyder is an option.
Dear Thomas,
thank you very much for your message and your faith in Datacolor products.
The Spyder3 (Elite, Pro and Express) is fully compatible with latest display technologies, such as LED-Backlight, Wide-Gammut and screens with a glossy surface.
Best regards,

Auto Color Calibration export fail

Hi!
When I export to uncompressed 10bit and select Automatic Color Calibration I get this lovely color field (see attached), but I don't get my video.
When I deselect Auto Color Calibration it exports the video with no trouble- but quicktime pumps up the gamma.
I tried the QuickTime_Gamma.ilut (and deselected auto color calibration) and the export simply fails.
Any tips to fix these export issues?

. i have the same problem with speed grade ...i have imported canon 5d footage with cinestyle picture style...in osx preview or quicktime looks like in camera very flat but after import in speed grade it looks like standard picture style ...i tried to calibrate with default color profile from my macbook pro (after conversion from icc/icm to cube file with DispcalGUI as Alex Meija..described here ) but nothing happen when i select the cube profile in calibration..i think this is a bug inside Speed Grade i can't use it...i m back to colorista ii in AE..
the single profile in calibration that looks nearly like original footage is when i select gamma 1.8 but is not ok
