Color Settings Changed when Baby pounded on keyboard

My entire desktop and windows have been changed to a weird flourescent combination of colors. My baby son pounded on the keys and suddenly the colors changed in every application window and picture. Everywhere. I can't figure out how to change the setting back.
In System Prefs I tried "Displays" and "Desktop and Screensaver", but couldn't find the solution.
Is there a keystroke or way to reset the color settings to normal?

I figured this out myself, but thought I'd post the answer. In Universal Access within Sys Prefs, there is a button to change the view from White on black to Black on White. That was the trick. I have no idea what quick keys my kid hit to do this, but there you go.

  • Screen color settings changes when certain software is launched.

    Since today I noticed the screen color settings of my Macbook Pro 17" (beginning 2011 model — Running OSX 10.8.4) is changing when certain software is launched. In this case, Indesign CS6.0 gives a strange blue hue over my screen, but when I check my screen color settings, nothing has changed, everything is set the same as when I don't run the softwares that change my screen color settings. I don't recall changing any settings that could have triggered this action. I didn't change any settings in Indesign CS6.0. I do regularly use CleanMyMac 2 to clean out my computer, maybe this has changed some settings? How can I change this back to normal? Google didn't help me neither.

    Ah right, don;t use laptops much and always forget about that one, good catch. Switching graphics cards would definitely have an effect.
    Just remember with that unchecked you will decrease battery run time so you might want to switch it back on when you are not doing graphics and you are on battery.

  • 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.

  • 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 Temperature changes when playing video via Dell 2713H with iMac

    Hi people,
    I'm having major issues with the above. This happens specifically when video is played, be it via youtube or through VLC or even XBMC.The color temperature of the video just shifts to a cooler blue and then after a while goes back to normal. This does not happen on the monitor of the iMac itself. Otherwise, viewing still photos or browsing the web works okay. It is really very irritating as you don't expect this to be happening.
    I've read that this could be an issue affecting macbooks with the ability to switch between integrated and dedicated video cards, but i can't seem to find any thing suggesting a fix for iMacs. Just so you guys know, it occurs on my macbook pro as well too.
    I'm running mountain lion 10.8.2 on the iMac and connecting the dell u2713h via an displayport to mini displayport cable supplied by Dell. iMac is a late 2009 model.
    If anyone could offer any insights, i'll really appreciate it.
    Thanks
    J

    I found this in another thread and it fixed the same problem for me. Apparently it's a Dell "feature" it detects video and changes the color settings for you... ? On the monitor just disable Display Settings>Smart Video Enhance.

  • 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

  • Color space change when using photoshop elements plug in

    When I select photo and edit with photoshop elements, Aperture makes a copy of the file as expected, but I can see the image color/hue etc. has changed, why?  Is there some setting I am missing?  The color of the image shouldn't change, should it? Just doesn't make sense!

    Where do you see the color change of the copy?
    In the thumbnail or preview before it is send to the external edtor?
    When the image is opened in the external editor?
    Or after it is send back from the editor?
    I do not see any color changes when I use PS CS5; it may help to see a screenshot.

  • Time and date settings change when phone is powered down (not shut off)..

    I recently installed the iOS 8 update and immediately noticed that the time and date settings would change when I powered down my iPhone. I did not turn off my phone, only clicked the button to power down or save power. I have tried all the fixes, suggestions, etc., but I am still having issues. In the power down state, I am able to receive phone calls or texts but when I go into my phone, the time and date will be off. It stops from the moment I click the button to power down the phone. Please don't get this confused with turning off the phone completely. This happens when I click the button for power down or power save, however it is described.
    So, how do I fix it? Is the app/software for the clock the problem? Is the battery distribution the problem? For some reason, in power down mode, the clock is not receiving constant power in order to keep accurate time. It stops the moment I click the button.  Any suggestions? fixes, etc. I could try. Apple support techs were absolutely no help what-so-ever.

    This sounds exactly like what is going on with my phone, http://www.idownloadblog.com/2012/10/19/iphone-5-date-time-glitch/

  • Why do colors slightly change when copying from Illustrator to Photoshop?

    I want to copy a object from Illustrator and paste it into a Photoshop document with the same color mode and profile.
    When I use the Eyedropper Tool on the pasted object in Photoshop the color seems to be slightly off.
    Both the Illustrator and the Photoshop document have their Color Mode set to RGB
    Both Applications are using synchronized color settings.
    This also happens when the object is dragged or Placed. It does not happen when copying from Photoshop to Illustrator.
    Could there be a problem with my color management settings? What actually happens to the color information, when it is copied from one application to another?
    Thanks for any help.

    Why the heck are people still using these nonsensical hexadecimal HTML numbers?
    Since some decades we got used to describe RGB values by decimal numbers 0...255.
    Both your value sets are practically the same, but how they were converted from one
    to the other, that requires an investigation, how Adobe workflows are distributed
    between California and Bangalore.

  • Settings changing when adding to another movie

    Each time I attach a new chapter (mini movie) PROJECT to the already existing main movie PROJECT the settings change. I have tried adding on the front with the new chapter as well as trying to add the main movie to the mini movie. Is there a way to lock all settings on a movie so when it is added to another movie the setting won't change oon either clip. The chapter movie is approximately 1 1/2 minutes long and the main clip is approximately 9 Minutes long. There are several transitions, and scrolls included in both clips.
    Message was edited by: jimfromdenver

    Hi Luis, thanks for the reply. I first made a video approximately 8 minutes long. I used digitized video, still images, sound tracks, titles and numerous transitions between the clips. I then opened a new project and made a movie of one of the last letters sent home by the veteran prior to his death. I also used transitions, movie clips, titles and various images. So far I have three of these last letters completed. I was able to copy and pasted two of the letter clips in front of the main generic movie. However, when I attempted to paste the third clip at the beginning of the main movie and two letters - it causes some of the titles, scrolls to overlap.

  • Why is the label color not changing when my file is updated?

    I would like the label color to change to white when a file has been updated/changed. Since upgrading to 10.7.2 the file color stays the same. Is there a setting I am missing that will allow the file to go back to white when updated?
    Thanks for any input...

    As far as I know, this is not standard functionality in the Mac OS.  Granted this, some third party application, or a script of something, was making this happen for you. Somehow the system update broke it. If you can figure out what software was giving you this feature, maybe you can update it or re-install it.

  • 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.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Nothing should change when you do this. With legacy BB devices, there could be some changes...but with BB10, nothing should change.
    Good luck!

  • Printer Settings change when switching between printers

    First time in the forum, so please be gentle.  I know little about Adobe.
    I am working with Windows XP (SP 2) machines (I know - should be at least on Windows 7, but can't change what my company has) and have Adobe Reader 8.1.2.  We have run into a "bug" of sorts. 
    Many of our locations (these are PCs all off-site) print labels (pdfs) with a Zebra brand printer where the labels are 2.25 by 4.00 inches.  The Zebra printers are always attached directly to the PCs where they create these labels.  Sometimes, they want to send the labels to a Lexmark printer that is attached at a Primary Server elsewhere.  When they do that, they make sure to choose "Fit To Printable Area" under Page Scaling when the Print Box comes up so that the 2.25x4.00 label is enlarged to fit on 8.5x11 inch paper.  The problem we run into is that right now, the default settings for these Zebra printers is 2x3 inches and Portrait.  We need them to be 2.25x4 and Landscape.  The user makes those settings changes and saves them and it used to be those settings hold once they save them.  We also have to change our Lexmark settings to "Letter - 8.5x11", otherwise it defaults to "Custom-4.88x21".  Recently, there's been this bug where if they save the settings for Zebra, print something, it's fine.  They switch to Lexmark, print to it with "Fit to Printable Area" it's also fine.  When they go back to the Zebra printer, suddenly the saved settings are gone and it's back to default.
    This also is happening in the reverse - if the user usually uses the Lexmark, but switches once to the Zebra, then back to the Lexmark, the settings have defaulted again.  Someone here said they remember seeing something like this before in regards to Adobe Reader.  Does anyone have any ideas?
    PS - I am creating a new image which will have the correct default settings for our needs so that hopefully this will not be an issue in the future.

    Hi BigRedEO,
    Thank you for posting on the forums. This seems more like a printer issue as it is not retaining the settings.
    Kindly try updating the drivers for the printer and check.
    Thanks,

  • Why is the font color on the Colorful Tabs changing when I choose a new Personna, when it never did before?

    The font color has always been black and the tabs in color, but now when I choose a different Personna, the font fades and/or turns white, sometimes fuzzy. This has never happened before. I even uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. Please help.

    Does it help if you disable the Persona Plus extension?
