ColorSync Utility: Missing "Make Default" in Displays. Bug or feature?

Hi there,
setting up my new MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard, I noticed that I can’t select my Default color management screen anymore in ColorSync Utility. There’s still the “Default” column in the Devices section, and the MBP’s display is marked as default, but for obvious reasons I’d like to have my better screen to be the default ColorSync screen.
But there’s no way to change this.
Hence the question – did the button go missing (i.e. a bug), or isn’t it necessary anymore as, perhaps, the new ColorSync CMM finally can fully manage multiple displays connected to one Mac?
Feedback much appreciated. I’m working on another article about color management with Macs, and this is sort of important information.

I have just tested this on a different webpage, and PHPSESSID shows up there. This seems to contradict my hypothesis of XSS prevention.

  • How to assign color profile to scanner in ColorSync Utility?

    Hi,
    I have run into trouble when trying to assign a color profile of my Epson 2480 flatbed scanner. I have a profile that came with the drivers, but every time I try to click on the device and change the Current Profile, the list of profiles available in the system Profiles folder only shows Apple generic profiles. I can't change the Default profile either (the blue dot next to the device profile list).
    What can I do to change this? If you don't know the answer, can you point me to the best (in your opinion) forum where those issues are frequently discussed?
    I'll continue my research in the meantime...

    OK, I answered myself...
    ColorSync Utility was by default looking in the System/Library/ instead of the main Library/ directory. The path is almost identical and I got fooled by this.

  • Reinstalling ColorSync Utility

    The ColorSync Utility has disappeared from my Applications/Utilities folder. Is there a way to get this back without doing a complete reinstall of 10.5 plus all the updates?
    Thanks, B

    First, try a Spotlight search for it in case you've just moved it. If that's unsuccessful, then you can do the following:

    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles Yes
    Press RETURN.
    To turn off the display of invisible files repeat the above command substituting No for Yes.
    The install packages are located in the /System/Installation/ folder on the DVD.
    Download the shareware utility Pacifist from VersionTracker or MacUpdate. Use it to extract a fresh copy of the missing item(s) from the file archives on your OS X installation DVD. The file archives are in the /System/Installations/ folder (use Go to Folder option in the Go menu of the Finder.)

  • Can't print pdf attachment- ColorSync Utility

    Recently something "new" has developed with my laptop. I don't know if it was part of an update, but now when i get an email with a pdf document attachment, I can open it and look at it, and I see now a "format" display that is ColorSync Utility, but there is no obvious way to print it out.
    What gives?

    I called Apple for help.
    To make a long story short, it appears that a week or two ago, when I was sending a lot of old files I no longer needed to the trash, that somehow "preview" got sent there too.
    Once the technician (she had to call in the tech manager who got on the phone) figured out things, I had to drag "preview" out of the trash and put it back into applications. ONce that happened, things worked normally.
    What was happening is that normally the pdf would open in preview, but without preview there in applications, the computer selected ColorSync Utility to open it. CSU does not have a way to print, hence the problem.

  • Colorsync utility problems

    I'm trying to get my printing straightened out on a 10.4.11 system that has been updated from 10.3.9.
    Printing was perfect on 10.3.9, but is not good from the Adobe apps on 10.4.11. I put off upgrading to 10.4 as long as I could, because I knew so many folks had so many issues... I finally had to upgrade, and now I am hit.
    My printer is an epson R2400. Prints are as expected from a MacBook Pro that has never been upgraded from one system to the next, and also from a test installation of 10.4.11 on a brand new hard drive. It is only the upgraded (via archive and install) system that I can't get straightened out.
    Chromix is making some custom profiles for me, and they had me go into colorsync utility to assign Generic RGB as the default profile for the printer. Problem is, the R2400 is listed 3 separate times in Colorsync utility, although it is only listed once in Printer SetUp utility and in System preferences under printing and fax.
    Resetting the printing system doesn't clear this up, nor does uninstalling the driver and reinstalling.
    I don't know for certain that this is the cause of my color management issues, but it certainly does not seem desirable. The systems on the machines that print correctly do not have duplicate instances of the printer listed in colorsync utility.
    I am not able to set a default printer in Colorsync utility, presumably due to this problem. This is the only printer installed, and it is listed as default the other 2 places.
    An archive and install did not fix the issue.
    Any idea on how to clear this up short of totally starting over with a fresh installation, from scratch? the printers are listed with unique ID's in Colorsync utility, but I don't know how to run anything down from there.

    I am not printing with colorsync color management, rather I am using colorsync *utilty* to correct a misapplied color profile in the driver.
    This is documented a few places on the web, and it is Chromix's answer to incorrect prints from ALL the Adobe applications... in my case, PS 7, and ALL CS2 and CS3 suite applications. Very specifically, the print error happens with Photoshop 7 and CS2 and CS3, and Illustrator CS2 and CS3, and InDesign CS2 and CS3. The solutions it to be certain that in your print stream, when you check the details of how the print is being sent, that colorsync is set to standard conversion, generic RGB profile, no quartz filter. The way you typically mange this, if the wrong RGB profile is showing, is by resetting it in ColorSync utility.
    I am printing a a profiling target, so I am not setting up a conversion from source space to print space. I am sending with color management off.
    The reason I didn't mention my workflow settings is that is not the question. The question is how to get rid of the spare printer instances in colorsync utility, becasue i think they are hosing my otherwise correct color settings.
    My target print looks like it is being color managed incorrectly, even though all color management is disabled in the Photoshop print dialog and in the print driver. The colors are the correct hue, but they are much too dark.
    Chromix has a little application you can print the targets from. Photoshop (all versions) on the system with the colorSync utility problem prints the target too dark compared to the Chromix utility, or to Photoshop on two other systems I have with no colorSync utility duplication of printers.
    Again, I am not looking for help with my printing workflow, because that is not the question or problem. My prints are correct on other systems with the same version of software and the same print settings, as long as I can make the needed correction in Colorsync utility first.
    the question is how to reset colorsync utility, or otherwise troubleshoot the erroneous feedback it is giving me..

  • ColorSync Utility and downloading jpeg images

    Related questions have been posted with some helpful ideas but so far I don't find my same exact problem (or a solution):
    Attempting on my new MacBook Pro (Mac OS X 10.4.10) to download and open a 58KB jpeg image sent on Yahoo (and automatically scanned for viruses), a window appeared saying "ColorSync Utility cannot open files of this type". The image is downloaded as "securedownload-1, 2, 3, etc.", but won't open. This has not been the case with images sent via Hotmail, where the jpeg is recognized as such and opened in Preview. Why is it different with the Yahoo images and how do I change that preference permanently?
    (Another post-reply suggested clicking on File in Finder and then Get Info and directing it to open in another application. I did, and chose Quick Time Player, but it makes me do it for every single image. Plus I would prefer Preview, which isn't one of the options that I see, even if I click "more options". Dragging the icon to the desktop (as suggested by another post) also opens the file, but at the same scale as the image in the email, not its true size.)
    Is there some obvious fix that I just can't intuit? (I'm fairly new to Mac.) Why is ColorSync Utility the default application for opening such files (at least with Yahoo)?
    Thanks.

    i'm having the exact same problem downloading jpeg images from yahoo mail. the file name is changed to "securedownload-1,2,3 etc.", with the '.jpg' extension removed, and i get the same error message that "Colorsync Utility is unable to open files of this type". i've tried changing the "Open With" setting to Preview, and adding '.jpg' to the file name. they all seem to correct the problem, however, these all seem to be "band-aid" fixes and are not permanent. the common denominator here seems to be yahoo mail.
    to test my theory, i created a gmail account, and forwarded myself one of the jpeg files i am having problems opening. the jpeg file opened flawlessly in the Preview application! another thing that dawned on me, was i had problems opening these files at work as well! on a Dell PC desktop! when i tried downloading these pictures at work (from my yahoo mail account), nothing downloaded, but i was booted off of yahoo mail completely.
    if anyone know of a permanent solution to this problem, please let me know. but i hope this information is helpful!

    I still use Aperture 2.1.4.  I need to export an image file with a CMYK profile.  Whereas a generic CMYK profile is listed in ColorSync Utility, it does not appear on the list of profiles in the edit portion of the export preset dialogue.  Help?  Is there some way to add the CMYK profile to the list of choices that are available in the export preset dialogue such that I can choose it?

    leonieDF
    Thanks for your response.  My profiles are located within color sync utility as you can see here:   
    These profiles do not respond to clicking and dragging.  Since they are all in one place, more or less, I'm reluctant to make further attempts to relocate them.  Accessing the CMYK profile is the first difficult experience I've encountered with this arrangement.  I have never needed the CMYK profile until recently, and that need has now past.  However, it remains a mystery to me as to why it does not appear with all the others on the menu of export choices in Aperture 2, or on the menu of profile assignment choices in the Preview application (where again all the other profiles are listed as choices).  I'm beginning to think my current set up will permit me to view an image that was created in CMYK space, but does not easily assign, or convert to that space.  I don't face these restrictions with all the others, so it remains a curious circumstance for me.  I anticipate upgrading my computer and software in the near future which might alleviate this issue altogether.  Again, many thanks for your attention to this matter.  The reach of this community is astounding.

  • Odd desktop/display bug - how to reset user display settings?

    Greetings all,
    I woke up yesterday morning to a puzzling problem with my G5. I logged in and started working - and I needed to use the windows remote desktop client to shell into a machine at work. I noticed that the fonts looked sort of funny (randomly quished) so I logged out and then back in. Then I noticed that the problem was not in the RDC display, but in the display of my mac.
    This is sort of hard to describe w/out actually seeing it, but here goes...
    When I move my mouse across the desktop (or what ever apps I have open) and the mouse pointer moves across and invisible (yet perceptible) line on my screen real estate, my background, icons, parts of displayed apps and fonts "shift". This causes fonts in the affected are to get messed up and causes general display irritation. That's the best way I can describe it, it's sort of a "you have to see it" problem. I will also note that this problem did not arise after an update or a software install or weird crash. Just another day.
    So first I tried messing with my display settings (change resolution, color profiles, setting the background to a solid color, turning off screen saver). Rebooting. Nothing. Still there.
    So next I log into another account (the root account). Ah ha! No display problems! Tried creating another user-level account. No problems there either. Now we're getting somewhere - it's something that is effecting my main user account and not a problem with my monitor, video card or OS. That's good.
    So since then I've tried:
    - Grooming the disc that my home directory lives on with DiskWarrior.
    - Repaired permissions.
    - Deleting the contents of home/Library/Fonts in case it's some funky font rendering issue causing this.
    - Deleted the contents of home/Library/Preferences/MicroSoft to get any of its potential badness out of my life.
    - Scanning with FontDoctor looking for bad fonts.
    - Deleted my desktop and finder plist files.
    - General maintenance and cache cleaning (including the MS font cache) with Onyx.
    - Booting to Safe Mode.
    Nothing. The display problem persists afflicting that one user account. All other accounts (root, and a second user-level account residing on the same disc) are free of these problems even though they are all using the same display settings (monitor, resolution, color profiles, etc). And as already noted, this problem was not "brought on" by anything like an update, installation, preferences modification or fatal seeming crash of an app.
    So, my question to all you good people is: what am I missing, what might be causing this and what else can be scrubbed from that account (cache, plist files, etc etc) that might be harboring and causing this display bug? I would really rather solve this problem than go through the very very arduous task of moving all of my stuff to another account (an option, but a very unattractive one).
    I was not a mac user during the OS 9 days, but I remember my co-workers doing the "rebuilding the desktop" dance. I realize that this is no longer an issue, but I guess I'm looking for something like that. I need to remove any and everything from my user account that has anything to do with display and font rendering since it's obviously some setting lurking in that account causing the issue.
    I googled and searched the forums for this yesterday but could not come up with anything like it and all of the maintenance tasks I tried have not worked.
    Any ideas?
    Cheers,
    Monte
    G5   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Hi.
    What kind of G5 do you have? An iMac or a PowerMac?
    A PowerMac.
    If you own a PowerMac, you'd better take a look (o
    try with another one) at the DVI cable connecting the
    display.
    I did check my connections, but also, why would a faulty DVI cable only cause problems with a single user account and none of the others?
    If you want to reset the display settings, start in
    Safe Mode, and trash these files:
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver.plist
    /Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.a
    pple.windowserver.some_number.plist
    If I were at home now, I would try and report back. But I'm not. I'll definitely give it a try as soon as I can. Thanks for the pointer!
    Cheers,
    M

  • IPhoto - Hidden Photos - Events Thumbnail Display Bug

    _*iPhoto - Hidden Photos - Events Thumbnail Display Bug*_
    iPhoto 08 contains a bug affecting the display of images that the user has marked as "hidden." Specifically, when the user toggles the View-Hidden Photos menu option, the Library-Events thumbnail view does not refresh quickly or reliably to show or hide Events containing "hidden photos."
    Sometimes all "hidden" photos remain visible when they should be hidden.
    Sometimes all "hidden" photos remain INvisible when they should be visible.
    This affects the Event thumbnail "key photo" if this photo was designated as hidden.
    This also affects any hidden Event photos when the user "skims" over an Event thumbnail to preview its contents.
    The issue is isolated to Events thumbnails. The problem does not exist:
    a) while browsing thumbnails inside a specific Event.
    b) while browsing photos in Library-Photos.
    c) while browsing photos in an Album.
    _*"Fixes" that do NOT work:*_
    Software updates... I have the latest version of OSX 10.5.2 and the latest version of iPhoto 08, including all the recent security and graphics system updates as of 02/16/2008.
    Maintenance... The issue is NOT resolved by rebuilding the database, rebuilding icons, or deleting the iPhoto preferences file. The issue can be reproduced in a separate user account after creating a new event in an otherwise empty iPhoto database.
    After much tinkering around, the following is the closest I've come to a
    _*TEMPORARY WORKAROUND:*_
    To *NOT DISPLAY* hidden images, go to the View menu and make sure Hidden Photos *is not* checked. Restart iPhoto, and the hidden images should now be invisible.
    To DISPLAY hidden images, go to the View menu and make sure Hidden Photos is checked. While the hidden images are now visible elsewhere, they may still be invisible in Events thumbnails, so restart iPhoto, and then wait about 10 seconds for the Events view to refresh with all the hidden thumbnail images now visible.
    If after carefully reading this you feel you have a definitive solution, please post a reply with your suggestions. Otherwise, please post to confirm if you can reproduce the problem on your computer running iPhoto 08 on Leopard. If so, please also file an official bug report with Apple. The more people report this, the faster we'll get it fix.

    My Acrobat Pro 9 has also this bug. I am using XP SP2. I have reported this bug at Adobe web site many times. I wrote to the Adobe customer care. I wrote about this on many different forums and I was hopping an update with this bug fixed. I installed all updates till now bu the problem still exists. I do not know why Adobe is not caring about this stupid bug. It is really, really annoying. In my experience with Adobe Acrobat for about 10 years, Acrobat version 9 is the worst version I ever worked with. There are a lot of glitches and bugs in it, expecially with fonts, web version creation, password protection encryption etc etc.
    If you find any fix please post back on this forum.

  • Aperture 3 Display Bug and Export to Flickr Bug

    Has anyone else experienced this issue, and if so what systems do you have and what graphics card are you using?
    The issue is the way images are displayed in Aperture. There seems to have been a change in the anti-aliasing between 2 and 3 so than now images with strong highlights display nasty aliasing artefacts and black ringing around highlight edges. It's as if Images are being over-sharpened. Also, when you first move to an Image it displays perfectly fine while it’s loading then when it’s finished it pops into the over sharp aliased version.
    I'm having this issue on my iMac 24" running a ATI RadeonHD2600. It seems to only show when the onscreen display is zoomed out to 25% or less. If you go to fullscreen the artefacts disappear on landscape oriented images but remain on portrait. If you zoom in, once you pass a certain zoom factor they disappear.
    I have posted some samples of the artefacts here - as well as what they should look like.
    http://www.thomas-fitzgerald.net/2010/04/28/aperture-3-is-really-ticking-me-off/
    and here
    http://theapertureblog.com/2010/03/29/aperture-display-bug/
    The bigger issue is that when exporting using the built in fickr tool it uses the same antialiasing and so over sharpens and degrades images the same way.
    The problem is not always apparent and it really only shows with images containing high contrast areas, particularly if they clip to white. I would really like to know if this is limited to certain graphics cards as I've talked to someone who has this issue when using the faster gfx card on their macbook pro but not when they turn on the slower one.
    If I need to upgrade my mac to make this issue go away then so be it but I'd really like to hear form others who may have seen it?

    I have had issues with Aperture's anti-aliasing performance in the Viewer since version 1.5.
    To summarize, Aperture's Viewer produces quite jagged edges from Canon RAW files compared to Preview's and Lightroom's renderings of the exact same files. There doesn't seem to be any radical improvements with the 3.x upgrades, and aliasing performance didn't seem to be affected by the updates to Apple's Canon RAW converter (I reprocessed). Images that I had a problem with are still problematic.
    I thought that [this thread|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=669881&tstart=0] referring to Aperture 1.5 laid out the issues pretty clearly and I was surprised at how little other users were affected by it (or so I infer from the number of responses.)
    Until your post I had not looked specifically at Aperture 3.x. I haven't been able to exactly reproduce the issues I had (so many versions ago...) in Aperture 1.5 and it seems the situation has improved a bit.
    Aperture still produces a much sharper rendering than Preview, though the aliased edges are not as prominent. To recap from Aperture 1.5:
    !http://homepage.mac.com/steve_hoge/.Pictures/AliasedApertureRender.tiff!
    And here's what I see in Aperture 3 on the same image:
    !http://homepage.mac.com/steve_hoge/.Pictures/aliasedA3.tiff!
    Which looks about the same to me on near-horizontal lines, but much better on the high-contrast vertical lines (check upper left corner of the frame).
    And today's Preview 5.0.2 rendering of the RAW image is even softer and less contrast-y than back in the day:

    Hi sarbjeet singh,
    Thanks for your reply...
    I didn't understand your answer...Already this view gone to production system and every USER created his own view..
    Now how can make default standard view to all users..
    If i keep Standard view as Intial view and release transport to production is it effected to all users and display standard view as initial view?
    Thanks,
