Color issue w/ Sony KDS50A2000

Shortly after replacing the bulb (original finally died) I noticed the color was "off". I have played with the settings for over a month now and tried matching them to those posted on the web by others. Still no fix. The blue and green is definitely off. Anyone have a suggestion of where my issue lies?

Hello jjil -
Sounds to me like your Optical Block is failing. Can be a very costly repair, however I dredged this post up from a private repair forum I belong to. You might want to check into it:
As part of Sony’s commitment to quality, Sony is announcing the following:
Sony is extending the limited warranty (parts and labor) for Optical Block replacements on the models KDS50A2000, KDS55A2000, KDS60A2000, KDSR60XBR2, KDSR70XBR2 from date of purchase until June 30, 2010 (reference SB # E38613892). This extended warranty does not apply to replaceable projection lamp and other parts that may be used in the televisions. All other terms of the Sony limited warranty continue to apply.
Good Luck!

IPhone 5s screen color issues

Got a 5s, love, however I was wondering, the color white seems "yellowish". I was able to get one (AT&T) through Best Buy, and ordered one through Apple. Both phones seems to have the white color issue. I went to the Apple store and compared the screens, my phone seems "yellowish", even confirmed by the Apple employee. Anyone else having issues?

Thank you for your help, Shipping cost is a issue. I will contact the apple soon
Thank you

Camera Raw 8.7.1 color issues

After the recent camera raw update to 8.7.1 I have noticed some pretty bad color shifts between camera raw and photoshop cs6. The colors in camera raw look very saturated and then when moving into photoshop the saturation shift is pretty dramatic. I never had these issues before the update. I have attached a screenshot illustrating the color issue. I am working on a very good monitor ( NEC PA 242W ) and it is color calibrated using NEC Spectraview calibration system. I have double checked my color setting in photoshop and camera raw to make sure I was viewing the same color space. I am just wondering if this is maybe a bug in the update and others are experiencing the same issues or if I am just missing something.
I would also add that I am using the Creative Suite CS6 and not CC. If that makes a difference.

Thanks ssprengel for the suggestions and running a side by side yourself. I went through all my settings and applied your suggestions and did a side by side each time. I even uninstalled the entire creative suite on my system then reinstalled and updated and I still get the same outcome. It was fine yesterday with the previous version of ACR. It seems like the updated version is not showing the image preview in any color space. When I switch the color space in the workflow options the histogram changes but it doesn't seem to affect the preview window. And yes the preview button was checked on it was just when I was using the screen grab tool in windows it took focus away from the application so that is why the settings appear grayed out. I have attached more screen grabs below illustrating all my settings. Also here is some system info if anyone out there has a similar setup and would be willing to test.

Photoshop CC Color Issues

When I updated my Photoshop program two updates ago I began having color issues in Photoshop as the rest of the Adobe Suite. Regardless of whether the color mode is RGB or CMYK the colors appear washed out on the program. This image http://i.imgur.com/BWVwbx2.jpg is an example. The image on the right is a screen shot of the original image of the shoes copied from the website, the image on the left is the same image copied into photoshop. When I try to save the RGB file as a jpeg or a PDF it looks the same as it did in the program, washed out. However, when the file is CMYK color mode and I try to save it as a jpeg or PDF it looks like this http://i.imgur.com/TAUyeOf.jpg. Both my coworker and I started having this issue on our seperate computers around the same time so I don't believe that it is a graphics card issue or something along those lines. How can I fix this? I have tried calling Adobe support, but unfortunately the person on the phone was not very experienced in the program and unable to help.
Some Info about my computer:
Currently I have Photoshop CC with the 14.2.1 update. I have Windows 7 Professional SP1, 64-bit OS, 8 GB of RAM (7.87 GB Usable) and 360 GB free space on the (C:) drive.

Illustrator and Windows Photo Viewer agree. They should, because they're both fully color managed. I assume Photoshop shows the same.
Picasa is not color managed. All bets are off there, it can display like anything under the sun, depending on what color space the file was created in, and how your monitor displays color.
There is a basic checklist for color management issues:
1 - is the application color managed at all?
2 - is there an embedded document profile, and what is it?
3 - what is the monitor profile?
We've established #1. For #2, see in the lower left corner of the Photoshop image window. Click the little arrow and check "document profile". What does it say?
#3 is often the critical one. This is where your calibrated monitor profile should be - but if you don't do that, it's often a manufacturer supplied profile. These are often worse than worthless. The best option here is to use sRGB if you have a standard gamut monitor (like the U2412) - or Adobe RGB if you have a wide gamut monitor (like your co-worker's U3011). Yes, there is a significant difference between these two.
Anyway:
Go to Control Panel > Color Management > Devices. Set sRGB IEC61966-2.1 as your default monitor profile there and relaunch Photoshop:
With this setting, Photoshop, Illustrator and Windows Photo Viewer will display (more or less) correctly. It could still be that the file had the wrong document profile, or none at all, but the file will display correctly as it is.

HP 7260: Photo tray = color issues (pink photos)

Hi,
I have a 7260 and it's working fine, as long as you don't use the photo tray.
Today I tried to print a couple of photos on advanced hp photo paper.
No problems at all, except that the picture is completely... pink.
So I tried to mangle with the color settings (in windows) and eventually ended up with 6 pink pictures.
Since I thought this was a settings error, I tried printing straight from the SD memory card.
I figured that if there was no computer involved, there wouldn't be any setting issues either.
And thus I ended up with 7 pink pictures.
I finally decided this would probably be an ink issue, but to make sure I tried to print the same photo on a regular A4 sheet.
And... no color issues there! Printing on regular A4 sheets works just fine!
Any idea how I could make the printer print the right colors on the right paper?

I suggest opening the Print & Scan System Preferences, then highlight your HP Photosmart printer in the printers list and delete it by pressing the minus sign. Now, re-add the printer by clicking on the plus sign and select the printer. Make sure that the 'Print Using:' pull down aut selects the correct driver for your printer. If it doesn't, pull down the list and manually select the correct driver using the 'Select Printer Software' option. Hopefully that will resolve your issue.

Color issues

Hi, I recently installed Creative Suite Web Premium, and have
weird color issues. If I open a jpeg in fireworks it looks correct,
but if I open it PhotoShop CS3 or Windows Photo Gallery the colors
look REALLY bright, not even close.
Any Ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks

In Photoshop, try turning off View > Proof Colors.
If that doesn't work, try Edit > Assign Profile and choose
"Don't Color Manage This Document."
If that doesn't work, try Edit > Color Settings and set
the "Settings" to "Monitor RGB."

Illustrator CS6 color issues when saving JPG

I have recently gotten rid of the Pantone+ color books and replaced them with the old color books, using the "Workaround 1: Replace Pantone Plus with older Pantone color books" help from Adobe. Followed all of the instrauctions and had no issues until two weeks ago. Then suddenly when saving PDFs I had to start changing the output Color Conversion to ' convert to destination'. I never had to take this extra step before. Now if I do not do this it saves some colors as black. Whatever, I got over that and take the extra step.
TODAY, now I can't even save JPGs without color issues. Some JPGs save correctly. Then I use the same color in a different file, and it saves completely different. Same color profiles, swatch options, blah blah blah.
Someone help me. I am extremely fed up with these issues. Like everyone else, this is my job and now it is making a huge impact on my work...

What program are you using to view the PDFs?

Bizzare Color Issue With JPEGs In RGB

Recently when I've imported any jpegs from either the web or from my Thinkstock account I get strange color issues when it opens the image. Mostly the distortion happens in the whites. By default it opens in RGB mode (figure 1) and the issue goes away if I convert to CMYK mode (figure 2) but the image needs to be in RGB for me to use in an After Effects comp. Is there some step I'm missing in my color management? Thanks!

Make sure you install the 10.9.1 update.
Another test you can do is disable GPU drawing in Photoshop's preferences, then relaunch Photoshop.
If the problem goes away, then it was caused by the video card driver (or, possibly by a defect in the GPU, but those aren't as common).

Color issues in Safari

Hello, I've just uploaded my first Muse site: www.michaelphipps.net
It worked well and looks perfect in Firefox on my computer (I haven't checked IE yet). In Safari, some of the rollover images are showing as a different color than the background. See the windows with the flags that say "Gallery", etc. You'll notice a small rectangle box around them where the orange (or green on other pages) is darker than the background. I looked on another computer with an older version of Safari and the problem is not there.
I did some research and discovered that Safari pays attention to color profiles, but other browsers do not. I checked my background images and compared them to my rollover images. Different profiles? Yes! So I fixed that and the problem remained. I've been trying test after test for hours and discovered something strange. I saved the background image and placed it in the site with Muse. I cropped that same image in Photoshop and placed it on the other image in Muse. A quick check in Safari shows that the color issue is resolved- the two images are the same color. I cropped the image even smaller and the same test yielded good results- the colors of the two images are the same. I cropped it again to 221 by 61 pixels and tried it again. The problem is back! According to my tests, the only difference is the size of the image. So either Photoshop is saving the smaller image differently, or Muse is rendering it differently. Why? And how would I stop it?
Thanks for your help!

Just a thought - Musing [pardon pun]
What file format are you using? ,jpg? .psd? .png?
Is Bridge in the workflow? Is Camera Raw in the workflow? Is Save For Web in the workflow? Is Lightroom in the workflow. << any of them have the posibility of being the cause of your color mismatching issue.
I use Lighroom a LOT, Thus I send photos from there to Photoshop and back. So - I have the color profile in PS set to ProPhotoRGB most of the time.
Even though I have the 'always ask' about profile mismatches enabled I still have occasional issues with photos leaving PS with strange colors - usually because I'm impatient and not paying attention.
My suggestion [what I would try] >>
Be sure the PS used profile is set to RGB:
Then I would open ALL my images in PS and Convert them all to RGB

Strange Color issue for my display (blue - purple tint)

hi guys,
I have a white macbook.
Recently, I realize some color issue on displaying blue.
check this picture below (I uploaded to my flickr)
and when it occurs I can only restart my computer, sometimes it changes back to normal...
or I can just use an external screen to ignore this problem (which I am doing it now)
anyone have any ideas?

I fixed it by going back into each diffuse texture and choosing "Edit UV Properties" and hitting OK - this seem to reset and re-render each texture.
Seems like a bug unless you can't use Image Size on documents that contain 3D layers maybe?

Dual monitor color issue - oversaturated image in CS4

Hi, I wonder if you can help. I found people having similar issues, but never seen an actual answer, so your input would be greatly appreciated.
My set-up:
MacBook Pro Dual Core intel based 15.4 2.6GHz running OS X 10.5.6 - also my primary display
HP LP2475- secondary display
CS4
Both monitors were calibrated using X-rite Eye-one LT (each with a separate profile)
I've tried calibrating each monitor 3 times and still get the proble,
My problem:
Running in dual monitor mode in bridge or safari/firefox- no problems at all: almost consistent colour between both monitors.
When I open the images in Photoshop CS4, they look fine on my MacBook screen, but when I drag them over to the HP the color is grossly oversaturated - especially in the red. What am I doing wrong? (in fact on the HP monitor, the color looks perfect in bridge but super insanely saturated in CS4)
Does anyone have a clue on how I can fix this?
Thanks!

You say your running 10.5.6? Why haven't you updated to 10.5.8?
FWIW, I never had color issues under 10.5.X, however I have since upgrade to 10.6.
See the thread I started in which Adobe responded:

Lightroom/CS3 color issues on Mac

Hello,
I've seen a few posts about color issues, and I've tried following the advice posted, and I'm still having a problem. My photos appear fine in PS and in Lightroom (as well in in Mac's previewer) but when I upload them to the web or view the saved file on another computer, they appear severely desaturated with a blue tone.
I'm using running Mac OX X on a new MacBook Pro. I have Lightroom and CS3 installed and fully patched.
I am shooting in RAW with my Nikon, and importing the photos to Lightroom. In Lightroom, I choose "edit in CS3" and then the file opens in CS3. My settings for that are to open it as a 16 bit PDF ProPhoto RGB. My color settings in CS3 are set to ProPhoto RGB working space, preserve embedded profiles, ask when opening and pasting.
The files still look great when I open them in PS, and then I save them and when I look at them again in Lightroom they also look good (the same). However, if I export them as .jpgs from Lightroom, or save them directly from CS3, they lose their color quality.
I've found that if I change my proof setup to "monitor RGB" then I can see the photos the same way they appear when saved (the bad, desaturated version).
I would really appreciate any help anyone could provide. I am generally happy with my Lightroom/CS3 workflow, but I'm totally baffled with this color issue.

Well, I think what you need to do is get a better grasp on the fundimentals of color management-which is a bit beyond the scope of what the forums can offer you.
The bottom line is that Lightroom & Photoshop CSx (meaning past CS or actually even back to 7) can and does make use of display profiles (you can't turn it off even if Photoshop has a setting that makes you think you can). An image in Lightroom and Photoshop is always color managed...outside of an app that is color management, all bets are off.
Save, assigning and converting to profiles are all very different. Photoshop CS3's color settings are absolutely critical because that's how you deal with managed and unmanaged color.
Until you learn different, I would suggest that you set your CS3 color settings to North American PrePress 2....if you want images for the web, Convert To sRGB or use the new Save For Web (which can now do the sRGB conversion-finally).
For other uses and purposes, I would suggest that you seriously consider using Adobe RGB-until such time that you understand the implications of using Pro Photo RGB.

Font color issue with inserted HTML content in JTextPane (HTMLEditor)

Hi everyone,
I have a very serious issue with the HTMLEditor I'm developping. This editor is a little bit special since it is intended to edit blocks of HTML content that are loaded when the editor is initialized.
You can in fact decide to keep this loaded HTML content or start a new HTML document from scratch. Alright, now my issue is the following :
When text is loaded, it's properly rendered. I have a functionality which let's you see the HTML code from the HTML document used in the editor, so I can check and see if code is correct, and yes, it's correct.
The problem is that when I try to change the color attribute of some text on my loaded content, nothing happens ! I don't know what's the matter with this bug, I only have it with the color attribute, with every other attribute everything's fine (font, size, etc.)
The funny thing is that, after I change another attribute for loaded content, like font family, then changing color attribute funcionnality starts to work again !
I've also noticed that I don't have any of these problems when I start my HTMLDocument from scratch (when I create a new HTML document and start typing text).
Another weird thing, is that I have a feed-back feature in my editor which reflects attributes for text over which the caret is positionned. For example, if you put caret over red text, the color combo box displays a red value, you know, just like in MS Word. Well, with my loaded content if I have a red text color and I decide to put it in green, the color combo box displays the green value when I click over text for which I have changed color, but in my JTextPane it's still red !! And when I try to see the HTML code generated nothing has changed, everything is still red !
There is something really strange here, this means that when I get the attributes of the loaded text from the HTMLDocument, color appears to be green, but when it gets rendered in the JTextPane it's still red and when it gets anlyzed to produce the corresponding HTML code, these changed attributes are not taken into account.
But the most weird thing above all, is that I don't have this bug everytime, sometimes I start my HTML editor applet and it works fine, and some other times this color issue is bakc there. Is this a known bug for Swing API or not ?
=============
This is more or less my technique :
//I declare a global reference to my HTMLDocument
HTMLDocument _docHTMLDoc;
//Create a JTextPane
JTextPane _tpaEditor = new JTextPane( );
//Set type content to automatically select HTMLEditorKit
_tpaEditor.setContentType("text/html");
//Get a referene to its HTMLEditorKit
HTMLEditorKit _kitHTMLEditor = (HTMLEditorKit) _tpaEditor.getEditorKit( );
//I then have a function to create new documents
void newDocument(){
_docHTMLDoc = (HTMLDocument) _kitHTMLEditor.createDefaultDocument();
_tpaEditor.setDocument(_docHTMLDoc);
   //I do other stuff wich are not important to be shown here
//I then have another function to load content
void loadContent(){
   //I get content from a HashMap I initialized when I started my applet
   String strContent = (String)_mapInitParameters.get("html_content");
   //I set content for my editor
   _tpaEditor.setText(strContent);
//Notice.. I have tried many other ways to load this text : via HTMLEditorKit and its insertHTML method, I
//have also tried to store this content in some reader and make HTMLEditorKit read it... and nothing,
// I always get the bug
//To change color it goes like this :
JComboBox _cboColor = new JComboBox();
//I correctly initialize this combo with colors
//then I do something like this
ActionListener _lst = new ActionListener(){
   public void actionPeformed(ActionEvent e){
      Color colSel = (Color) _cboColor.getSelectedItem();
      MutableAttributeSet mas = new SimpleAttributeSet();
      StyleConstants.setForeground(mas,colSel);
      setAttributeSet(mas);
_cboColor.addActionListener(_lst);
//Set Attributes goes something like this
private void setAttributeSet(javax.swing.text.AttributeSet atrAttributeSet) {
        //Get current 'End' and 'Start' positions
        int intCurrPosStart = _tpaEditor.getSelectionStart();
        int intCurrPosEnd = _tpaEditor.getSelectionEnd();
        if(intCurrPosStart != intCurrPosEnd){
            //Apply attributes to selection
            _docHTMLDoc.setCharacterAttributes(intCurrPosStart,intCurrPosEnd - intCurrPosStart,atrAttributeSet,false);
        else{
            //No selection : apply attributes to further typed text
            MutableAttributeSet atrInputAttributes = _kitHTMLEditor.getInputAttributes();
            atrInputAttributes.addAttributes(atrAttributeSet);

hi, friend!
try this:
void setAttributeToText(JTextPane pane, int start, int end, Color color) {
MutableAttributeSet new_att = new SimpleAttributeSet();
StyleConstants.setForeground(new_att,color);
HTMLDocument doc=(HTMLDocument)pane.getDocument();
doc.setCharacterAttributes(start,end,new_att,false);
It works fine in my Application, hope will work in yours, too.
good luck.

Font color issues in published output

I have just upgraded a couple of older Captivate projects to 5.5.
On some of the slides I have click boxes set to open URLs when clicked, and I have colored the text blue and underlined it so that it looks like a hyperlink.
When viewing the published content I've noticed that my hyperlink text is black, instead of blue.
Has anyone run into this issue before? I've searched the forums and couldn't easily find any references to this issue, although this is not the first time I've seen this problem with my courses.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Brian

Rod, thank you so much for the reply.
The blue is just your standard #0000FF blue, which should be safe with 8 bit quality, and the slides were set to 8 bit quality the last time they were published (and worked) in an older version Captivate. Kind of weird, right?
BUT, being the optimist that I am, I took your suggestion and tried setting one of the slides to 24 bit, and the blue is blue once again rather than black! Very bizarre, but faster than the work around I had found yesterday so I'm probably going to roll with it. I found that changing the slide quality to 24 bit has a minimal impact on the size of the published swf file, so I'm good.
Again, oddly enough, my work around mentioned above involves changing the default caption style to what Captivate calls "default caption capture style". With my caption style set as this my blue is blue, even with the slide quality set at 8 bit. I took one of my older courses and went through changing all of the caption styles. Took me a little while as changing the caption style changes the font, font color, font styles, font sizes, paragraph alignment settings, etc., etc.
And on a side track, I got to thinking after I noticed that changing the caption style seemed to fix the font color issue... My original project used a custom caption style, one that I had not yet "reinstalled" since upgrading to Captivate 5.5. So, I added the custom caption styles, even changed the name of the caption style and tried to reapply it, but no dice.
It seems that, with the slide quality set at 8 bit, if I use a caption style of "default caption style", my blue is black on publish. But, if I use a different caption style, such as "default capture caption style", my blue is blue, even at 8 bit quality.

Iphone and TV color issue

Why is the color on my Sony and Toshiba TV screen a different color than that on my iphone? Ex. Netflix screen is green instead of red on TV. I am using an Apple Component AV cable.

I was having the exact same problem. Connect iPhone 3g and Canon CameraWindow would open with a notification that no camera was attached.
I found a setting in ImageCapture which controls what happens when you connect a camera. In the preferences menu, just select none. Problem fixed.
