Color management on LCD displays, need help

Dear all,
I know the same topic has been already raised so many times, but i just can't help to ask it again. I am sorry for that, I just realize I will at least get a concept of what to do next. Ppl here are helpful.
I don't own any Apple monitor. I have a Macmini, connected to a new SONY LCD display, SDM-HS95P, by DVI connector.
As everyone knows the situation of LCD monitors. They have higher contrast, brigther image that traditional CRT monitors. That's why photographers and graphic designers are blaming all the time.
And now, I face the same as they do. My monitor is no more "WYSIWYG". The red i have here, may become another red on printing. The yellow I have here, may become orange on CRT.
I calibrated with the Colorsync of OSX, I decreased the contrast and bright level of my monitor, but they dont help much.
Someone suggested here to purchase color management hardwares. Of coz i know they are helpful. But the point is, how can a little student to afford a such expensive hardware for only doing color management?
Apple displays are all in LCD these days, how does Apple help their users to overcome the mentioned situation?
I know this maybe just a never-ending question, but i think ppl here may come up with some new ideas in resolving this.
Please kindly help, much appreciate! Thanks!

Hi.
Apple cinema displays do not offer the user the ability to adjust the contrast. You need to be able to adjust contrast when calibrating the 2nd monitor to match the target white and black luminence values of the first monitor.
Contrast is needed in order to adjust the white luminence value of the monitor you are calibrating. You need to be able to adjust the black and white luminence values of monitor 2 when using the white and black luminence target values from monitor 1 if you want both monitors to be calibrated so that they use the same (same but seperate) profiles.
Colorvision (makers of spyder2 pro) has indicated that this is a huge issue with the ACD monitors and they are currently researching a workaround.
If anyone knows how to fix this... please tell me (us)... thanks.

    Do a factory reset .. nothing will be deleted from your backups and you will be able to get access to them again.
    The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
    Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.

  • Media Manager Problems in FCP--Need Help Quick!

    I'm trying to package my short film to send to a color corrector. He wants it packed by "Media Manager," but whenever I try it, it keeps saying "Error, the specified file is locked." Help?

    He probably just wants the sequence media managed, creating a new fcp project with just this sequence included.  Media manager usually requires all sources to have reel names assigned to them.  If you brought any material in digitally (graphic files, quicktimes, etc), you will need to add reel names for these files in the browser.  Once that's done, make sure the sequence is selected in the browser and go to file:  Media Manager.  Choose Copy Delete unused media from duplicated items and Duplicate selected items and place into a new project.  Questions?  You could post back or perhaps read the appropriate sections of the manual - or talk to your colorist.

  • Powerbook g3 walstreet 12.1 display need help!!!

    hello,
    i just bought my first mac off ebay, its a wallstreet with 12.1 display, just that the screen is craked it powers up and everything but i need to replace the screen itself, i just got a 12.1 screen off ebay just the screen itself not the whole display, can anyone help me in how to install it, one more question can i put a 14.1 display on this model if i can't what do i need to replace
    thanks

    powerbook g3 wallstreet   Mac OS 9.2.x  

    The 12.1 model does not have enough VRAM to drive the larger displays - to run a 13 or 14" screen you would need to replace the motherboard.
    To get at the dispaly you will need a torx screwdriver (a T8 I think), you will find screws under the rubber bumpers at the top and under small glued in plastic discs at the bottom. Once these are removed carefully lever the two halves apart doing as little damage as possible - by gentle levering you should be able to see where the latches actually are, pushing the inner bits inwards with a small flat-bladed screwdriver will ease separation.
    The display itself will be screwed to the back piece of the hosing - unscrew it and carefully pull it forward, behind the display you will find the connectors for the backlight and data feed which you can now disconnect.
    Fit new screen, reconnecting as you go (which should be easy as long as the display is exactly the same), clip display back together, refit the screws and glue the bumpers and discs back in.
    You may want to test the new display before screwing the display frame back together..........
    Good luck!

  • PVCS Version Manager Interface to Jdeveloper -- need help with install

    Several of our developers are using Jdeveloper and we need to know how to install the PVCS Version Manager interface to JDeveloper.
    I have already contacted Merant, the vendor for PVCS Version Manager and they could only confirm that the interface existed but was supported by Oracle.
    I have not been able to find any documentation on installing this interface.
    Can anyone supply directions or point me to someplace to look for them.
    Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated.
    Ward

    Hi all,
    Ward - Brian is absolutely right. As I said in my first posting on this topic (above), we have
    not yet developed an extension for JDeveloper to enable users to work with PVCS Version
    Manager, which I believe is a specific product, rather than an interface.
    This is why I'd greatly appreciate it if you could possibly provide more details of this Interface
    and indeed what Oracle support for PVCS with JDeveloper Merant referred to. Please see my
    first posting above for more details.
    Brian - I'm sorry you do not agree with our approach of using the open published SCM Framework
    to build your own extensions for using JDeveloper with other source code control tools than those
    we support.
    In an ideal world, we would have been able to offer support for every source code control tool on
    the market with our first release of 9i JDeveloper. We were very keen to be able to achieve this and
    we still plan and are currently looking into supporting more tools going forward and as many tools as
    possible in the long term.
    Unfortunately, we only have limited time available for each release and based on the feedback we
    received, after our committment to support Oracle9i SCM, CVS and ClearCase were the most requested.
    Therefore, we tried to reach a compromise to enable users to provide their own support for a specific
    tool should they wish, if they did not use any of those tools supported. Indeed, our research suggests
    that the market for source code control tools is quite fragmented and that customers use a wide range
    ot tools. So, we decided to publish our own SCM Framework, the same one we used for the SCM, CVS
    and ClearCase support, in order to help users build their own extensions in a similar way to ours.
    Hope this helps,

  • Very unusual LCD display problem, help appreciated

    First post, I want to thank anyone who can help me in advance. I just took over my sister's MBP Unibody, and she has been having an issue where there is about a 1.5 inch wide strip of complete distortion on the left hand side of the screen. Everything in that strip is completely color distorted with constant screen tearing and flickering. I suspect there is something wrong with a wire in the lcd screen, as this problem only starts after using the computer for 15 minutes, and goes away initially by tapping the screen or adjusting the screen. After about half an hour of use however, it does not go away. In a completely unrelated incident, the glass panel cracked yesterday (This problem has been going on for about a month and a half), and i ordered a replacement, so I will be "under the hood" on Thursday. If anyone has any recommendations of what I might do to try to fix this, I would greatly appreciate it.
    3 pictures of my screen:

    Well its 70 dollars vs 600 dollars and it wasn't me who bought the applecare. And I would gladly bring it in to an apple technician instead, however my only problem with that is its not like they can just take off the glass, take a look at it and then tell me how much it costs. i mean the glass is shattered, you take it off and its going to be in pieces. Likewise, they very well might say that they can't do anything about it because the broken glass is clearly accidental damage and immediately attribute it to the lcd problem even though it has nothing to do with it. If the glass wasn't broken, I would never have even posted and immediately taken it to the apple store. Please, tell me I'm wrong and I will take it to them right away to tell me exactly why the screen is the way it is, and it will probably be covered seeing how it started out of no where. My understanding of apples policy however is that with the glass cracked as it is, they will have no choice but to immediately charge me for a full repair. But like I said, if I'm wrong please tell me and I'll take it in tomorrow

  • Poor RAM management in Photoshop CS4 - need help!

    I have done numerous hours of research over the years only to give up and come back to this subject later on. I will try again!
    I must ask: is there ANY way to get Photoshop CS4 to automatically flush used RAM after closing image files? I'm tired and annoyed of CS4 eating more and more RAM without freeing anything after an image has been closed. An image shouldn't still eat up memory when it isn't even open anymore. It seems to be terrible RAM management of the program itself and how Adobe has forgotten to write that little snippit of code to clear the RAM after an image has been closed.
    I know this is not because of:
    Cache levels
    Setting too large of a saved history state; purging history cache or any kind of cache still never frees RAM
    A lack of updates; I have been up to date with CS4 very punctually as they were released
    The computer I am on; this poor RAM management has been around since CS2 and it's the same on the last 4 computers I have used
    Does CS5 still do this too?

    Your historically conditioned to believe software apps should swap data a standard way. The way your using the system is probably not the most effective processing for your workflow.
    -  I have hundreds of TIFFS that take 60-120MB each in processing, and 8gb  of RAM. The more total RAM actually usable that I can use the better.  How the heck can using less of what is actually available RAM enhance my  workflow? Standard are standards for a reason. The ink industry for  printing is non-standardized and people waste $3-5 billion+ a year only  increasing on unused ink that is still remaining in their cartridges, because there is no standard way of manufacturing ink, filling cartridges, or monitoring how much ink is actually left in a cartridge. I'd love for more standards in more markets. Unless natively stable, all other programs on my computer work flawlessly with said demonized traditional methods and standards, even in high bandwidth applications a hell of a lot more intensive than  Photoshop CS4 will EVER be. Currently people keep disregarding the fact that in my situation CS DOESNT FREE THE RAM.  CS4 is balloon. Balloon inflate. Never deflate even when emptied. Overflow into other rooms of critical OS space where balloon shouldn't be when it fill the room full. How many analogies must I give? Must I use sign language? Binary?
    You don’t have enough experience with these topics. This is actually a
    true statement. Most companies with systems large and small have to
    think about what it costs to process specific jobs. If one in a thousand
    jobs swap, a decision must be made to know how much it would cost to
    retrofit a very expensive environment to keep that one job swap from
    occurring. Most times it is better to let the swap happen for this
    non-mission critical item than pay $50,000 to upgrade all systems.
    I said NON EMERGENCY SITUATIONS.  Emergencies are once in a while. You're repeating what I said like a parrot, but in different longer sentences with more words telling me I don't get what I'm talkinga bout. You're missing the full picture of what I am actually saying. That 1 in 1000 overflow would be exactly true in my situation with 7GB used, but it's not. Why not? Because the CS4 balloon will not deflate itself or reuse the empty space inside the balloon when it's needed, and the OS isn't given back any of the empty space to work with to know it doesn't need to page anything. In turn CS4 is going to try and scratch too when the OS is telling it that is has no more RAM left when indeed it does, but its hiding it in its own reserve balloon from itself. If a company needed just 700MB more room and either they spend $50k to upgrade to that, or get CS4 to release some space once in awhile, they'd sure as hell bother Adobe or write their own mod to force CS4 to release unused allocated RAM to get it.
    Self inflicted only because I want to push the limit of what is actually usable on my machine, not some 'safe zone' with high tolerance. My system is tuned for a fine line of performance and I know what it can hande. I know what it uses and it does not spike usage for random OS operations. It can handle 7GB to 7.2GB of RAM of freely used RAM to one active program if it needs that big of a workspace to work. If CS4 isn't going to reuse the hollow areas in that balloon, then that's not my fault. My OS can handle the fine tuning, and CS4 is what cannot, obviously, since it can see that much RAM but not use the last %10 correctly.

    - I tried every Snow Leopard Release from 10.5.8 to 10.6.4
    Assuming this means the TV was not detected in any of these versions, this would not be a Snow Leopard installation or setup issue. I think that is what sig is trying to tell you.
    If this is true, you might want to post in the MacBook forums to see if anyone has a similar issue. It would be a good idea to post the model number of your Toshiba if you do so, as this might be relevant. Otherwise, it sounds like the problem is in the TV, since the MacBook works with other displays.

  • Cleaning a mess off an LCD screen - need help asap!!!

    my wife had can of spray adhesive blow up near my computer, spraying adhesive all over my 2 LCD monitors.  it is now dry and hard.  what kind of solvents can i use to remove this without damaging the screens?  WD40 removes this crap well from the hard plastic parts, but i'm hesitant to use it on the actual monitor screen.  any ideas???

    All of the above will damage the screen.  WD40 should never be used on any screen, regardless.  The gorillas tape can't remove what is on the screen, because the glue softened the polymer of the screen, mixes with it, then hardens...meaning it actually becomes part of the screen; the only way to remove that is to break it off, which is what you'll do if you try the gorilla tapoe method.  The citrus based goo removers, if which DSR is just one, will not work for the same reason.  The glue has penetrated and dissolved the polymer resin of the screen, then hardened with it.  It cannot be removed with a solvent, unless the screen it has integrated into is also removed. 
    As I stated before, unfortunately replacement is your only ooption.
