COLOUR DISPLAY ISSUES

Using photo shop, when I place an image into a document it comes up in grey rather than colour. Also if I try to fill new layer it appears grey although it displays the correct pantone. Can anyone advise me how to fix this please? Thank you

Is the image grayscale (Image > Mode > …)?

IPod with colour display

Im getting an ipod with a colour display i just wanted to know how often do people have issues with it because i had a mini and i had terrible battery problems. does the ipod 20gb have any known battery problems?

James,
normally none of the iPods have battery issues. But I have heard of a very funny story: if the alarm is set by accidence, the default time is 2400 hours, midnight! Most of the people do other things rather than listening to music on the iPod at that time. So the next day when they take it, it is running and the battery is empty (no wonder!). So sometimes this can be the cause for very short battery life...:-)))

10.5.3 Update display issue. None of the already discussed...

I've calibrated my display at a colour management facility some weeks ago, and took a screen picture of the brightness setting in system preferences... so that i could recall it in case i changed the brightness by accident.
well, after updating couple days ago, i was asked to restart my computer. i did restart, but the computer acted weirdly, taking a lot of time installing extra stuff and eventually auto-restarting extra 2 times before showing my desktop again.
once it did, i noticed right away my screen was a little darker and maybe with lesss contrast. I checked Display preferences (Adjuts display brightness left Uncheked) and with the brightness slider at the same point as usual, it was significantly darker. Actually, i need almost full brightness to get the same white that was 70% brightness before the update.
I see a lot of people with display issues after that update, what is going on?
ps: i'm using 2008 LED 15" MBP

That extra stuff your computer was installing may have been things that Software Update downloaded automatically but didn't install at the time. Don't worry, restarting twice is normal. By chance did you notice a drop in brightness after the update when running on battery power? When you unplug a MacBook Pro, the screen automatically dims a bit to save energy.

Printing colour recognition issue with illustrator created design.

I have a macbook pro with retina display and illustrator Cs 6.
For some reason, when I tried to print my illustrator designed work at the professional printing service.
it said there are colour recognition issue. I wasn't sure if that is anything to do with the Illustrator Cs6 or to do with the retina display or the printing service.
I would like to know if anyone have the same issue, and how do you resolve it.
Thanks.

Ahhh,
The colour mode is websafe HEX is the design work by the looks of it and the print is using CMYK mode. Try changing the document's colour mode to CMYK from RGB and see if the blue looks darker. It should do.
Take a look at the image I've attached. I've created both RGB and CMYK variations of the hex colour #0099BA.
I think it's just down to a difference in colour mode between digital version and print. There are some really great comparison sites available that will give you a close conversion if your matching spot and PANTONE® colours too.
Let me know if your any closer to a resolution please. Interested to see what the issue is.

Colour Management Issue with PS CS3 and Leopard 10.5.2

Hi Everyone,
Since I have installed Leopard I am having colour management issues with Photoshop CS3 and my Canon i9950 printer.
My screen is calibrated with a Spyder and I used to ask Photoshop (in 10.4.11) to manage colour when printing and used the Spyder profile. Everything came out as I saw it on screen.
Now in leopard when I do the same thing everything comes out too yellow on the print. If I ask Photoshop to let the printer manage the colour it is too red. If I use the default colour management (photoshop managing the colour and it choosing the colour space it is better, but still too yellow).
Photoshop gives the hint to turn off colour management in the printer but there is no option for this and it also said the same thing before of course (when it worked in 10.4.11).
Any ideas?
Thanks.

>It was working perfectly in Tiger with the monitor profile.
You were lucky.
the monitor profile is so Photoshop can display your images correctly.
the working space is Adobe RGB, sRGB, BruceRGB, ect... these are all known color spaces so when the file goes to another computer there is a consistent color space for reference. If you use your monitor profile as a working space then nobody else knows what is going on with your file.
when you print you need to use the printer profile for the type of paper you are printing on this is supplied by the printer manufacturer. you can also have custom profiles made.
you need to read up on color management:

Colour sync issues safari

Hi,
For a long while now, I've been noticing some oddities in OSX 10.8 regarding display of images in Safari.
Having just installed 10.8.5 combo, I was hoping it would finally be fixed.
It's difficult to describe what the problem is, but certain colours and images in Safari are not displaying correctly. Its seems images are displayed correctly most of the time, with a short delay until the image is displayed with the correct colour. Backgrounds of certain webpages often don't display correctly, where part of the page is loaded showing a different colour or brightness of the background. Often text colour is also not shown correctly, but these differences are hardly noticable. On some ocasions, image files are loaded with the top half appearing slightly different to the bottom half... slight colour variations, different black points and overall brightness.
The problem is not consistent, but often shows up in some of my frequently visited pages. Refreshing a page, or scrolling the page all the way down and up again, will sometimes make the page display properly. It seems to me as a colour sync issue in Safari, but I'm not really sure. I have reset Safari multiple times. I have reinstalles the OS.
Does anyone know if this is a known issue, and if there is perhaps a fix?
I have a Macbook Pro 9.1 2.3GHz 16GB RAM running OSX 10.8.5. Both my monitors are calibrated with a Spyder Elite 4, and these problem I'm experiencing seem to be exlusively limited to Safari. I'm not a fan of Crhome or Firefox, so changing browsers is not something I consider an option.
Bellow is a creenshot showing a common issue I'm experiencing.
Thanks in advance for any insight...
Martin

Try emptying the cache. Press Command + Option + E. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that doesn't help, open a Finder window. From the Finder window click Go > Go to Folder.
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test again.
If that doesn't help, from your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari and test again.

4 bit PNG display issue

Dear all,
I am using sun jvm pbp1.0.2-linux-x86.
I have written a test apps which will display a png image by reading the file. But when i executed the program White colour in the png is shown as blue colour. The point to be noted here is that the bit depth of the png is 4.
I there any display issues in the 4 bit PNG images.
I am also facing this problem in the jdk version 1.4 in linux and windows.
But the image is dispalyed correctly in jdk 1.5 version.
Is there any fix need to apply in my jvm to render the 4 bit PNG image correctly.
Waiting for your kind cooperation
Regards
Sivan

Dear all,
The error is fixed.
With reference to Bug ID: 4809676 of SUN bug database, applied one patch in the code
In the source code of sun.awt.image.PNGImageDecoder, please see 436 line.
Near the end of the line, ... &7 is present.
Actually 7 should have been 15. Otherwise, some PNG images
with bitdepth 4 won't be decoded correctly. Showing incorrect colors.
case 4:
bPixels[col+rowOffset] = (byte)((rowByteBuffer[spos>>1]>>
((1-(spos&1))*4))&7); // --> Replace &7 to &15
spos++;
break;

Colour / contrast issues while capturing DV/HDV (and Hi8)

I have a Canon Vixia HV30 which I use to record HDV and DV, and use iMovie HD/6 to capture the footage. I'm noticing during import that the colour and contrast quality both seem to be degraded compared to what I see on the camcorder screen (and how it would appear if I were to plug it in directly into my television). Is this just something to do with the playback during import (ie it's not displaying the level of quality that's it's actual capturing?)
I actually noticed something similar happening when using iMovie HD/6 to capture Hi8/Digital8 footage from my old Sony DC-TR460 (colour-quality loos); but I assumed that had to do with the passthrough occurring on the Digital8 Sony camera.
Any insight into any of the above? I want to have the highest possible quality capture of all my tapes!

Thanks. Yes my next step will definitely be to burn a DVD of the video and compare it to playing directly off of the original tape from the camera to the tv.
I suppose a follow-up question is what IS a good playback format? I've attempted to export this captured video using numerous settings and nothing ever comes out looking good, including H.264 with the deinterlace option selected. Moreover the dulled colour/darkness issue persists no matter what settings I try.
I'm starting to wonder if it's all worth shooting HD/DV footage at all if I want to share it online. I don't have any problems with the little AVI files my 6 Megapixel Canon Cybershot takes; they look great and I don't need to do anything to them! I obviously want to have the best quality source files possible, and yes, would love to be able to play it on big widescreen tvs as well. But it seems to me one precludes the other!

Colourful display causes problems

Dear Sir/Madam
The colourful display by Firefox browser on my phone causes me confusion. I want simple white background, please help me.
Thanking you.

Hi!
Could you please explain the problem in greater detail? Are you having issues with the background colour on the websites you visit, or are these bright colours in the Firefox address bar (at the top of the screen)?
Thanks,
Jayelbe

I have an iphone 4s that is having display issues. If I turn the phone on, it vibrates to acknowledge it successfully turned on but the screen stays solid black. I can plug the phone into my computer and itunes will recognize the phone as well.

I have an iphone 4s that is having display issues. If I turn the phone on, it vibrates to acknowledge it successfully turned on but the screen stays solid black. I can plug the phone into my computer and itunes will recognize the phone as well. However, itunes can not do anything with the phone because the phone is locked and I can not unlock the phone because the screen is black.
>CURVEBALL!!!<
The screen does work though! Through trial and error along side a little troubleshooting, I was able to figure out that the screen will cut on after the phone dies completely. The phone has to die completely with no battery power left. Then if I plug the phone into a charge and wait a while for it to charge, the phone will turn on like nothing was ever even wrong with it. I charge the phone up to like 30% and turn it off then bam the phone turns on but the screen is solid black again.
I am currently in the process of waiting for the phone to die and when I turn the phone back on I am going to completely remove the auto-lock and lock code off of the phone for the time being.
Any other suggestions? Please help!

Sounds like the device was dropped at some point and damaged as a result.
Take it to Apple for evaluation and a replacement.

Display issue on brand new 2014 X1 Carbon Touch

So I was about to start raving about my X1C that I just received. Loving the display, the keyboard, build quality, etc. I had no gripes and was just browsing away when suddenly the screen did the full glitch. I recognize this as what happens when something's messed with the motherboard/display adapter. So I gave it a reset. All was normal and then it happened again. I was able to replicate it 3-4 times and it keeps happening. I never dropped it or anything. It was always just stationary.
I can't believe this. I had problems with the first gen non-touch and touch. I was hoping by now they have improved.

Display Issues with mini (Mid 2010) and LG L246WP

I recently purchased a new mini (Mid 2010 base model) and planned to use it with my 24" LG L246WP monitor, which is about 3 years old. The monitor has VGA, component, and HDMI inputs.
I used an HDMI-to-HDMI cable to connect the mini directly to the monitor, and the output is completely messed up. The mini recognized the monitor (titling the System Preferences > Display dialog with 'L246WP') and set it to the monitor's native resolution of 1920x1200, but on the monitor the image is cropped to what looks like a 4:3 aspect ratio and with part of the image shifted up and left so I cannot view the top menu bar or the left hand side of the desktop. The monitor's on-screen display shows 1080p in this mode.
The Display dialog also gives me an option for 1080p. I can select this and use the Underscan slider to resize the desktop output to fit on the screen, but it is still shifted left and must be resized smaller than the available display space (plus the total image is only 1080 pixels, not using the monitor's full native screen). In this mode, 1080p also shows on the monitor's on-screen display.
I tried 1024x768 to see if I could get a properly-positioned image, but the desktop was shifted just like in the 1920x1200 case and the monitor's on-screen display status still reported 1080p.
The monitor has a menu setting under an HDMI heading with "Video" and "PC" options, but changing this selection does not make a difference.
Since the monitor came out before HDMI was as widespread as it is today, it came with a DVI-to-HDMI cable, so I also tried using that cable with the HDMI-to-DVI adapter that came with the mini, but this did not make a difference either.
To prove it wasn't the HDMI cable, I connected the mini to my Samsung 6300 series 40" LED HDTV and with some tweaking of the Underscan slider the displayed image filled the screen perfectly.
I've searched the Internet and various forum threads (i.e. http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1167222&page=63) seem to indicate this monitor can send a corrupted EDID that causes issues, especially with nVidia graphics drivers. On Windows you can use registry or driver hacks to override the EDID with the correct values, but on OS X this doesn't seem possible (I was hoping for a Terminal one-liner but it seems this doesn't exist). I have seen some mentions of the shareware SwitchResX (http://www.madrau.com), which looks like it gives you the option to override resolution settings, but I haven't tried this yet.
It also appears to me that the monitor is always interpreting the signal (or the mini is always sending the signal) as 1080p, even if I've set 1920x1200 in the Display dialog. I don't know if this is a defect in the monitor where it always assumes the HDMI input is a 1080p source (previous I used it with an Xbox 360 with no issues but that was 1080p HDMI), or if is a bug in the graphics drivers (or at least a lack of flexibility / miscommunication to the user trying to handle a corrupt EDID).
I asked my local Genius Bar for advice today (without bringing any hardware in) but was not told anything I didn't already know.
I'm trying to determine the best way to work through this issue. *My questions are:*
Would it make any difference if I used a Mini DisplayPort-to-DVI adapter (and then my DVI-to-HDMI cable to the monitor's HDMI input)?
What about a Mini DisplayPort-to-VGA adapter? In the past I used a 12" Powerbook (via a mini-DVI-to-VGA adapter) with this monitor and had no display issues like this, but I'd prefer to stick with a digital connection on my brand new mini.
Is SwitchResX the only practical way in OS X to override a corrupt EDID and force the mini to output a certain resolution?
Besides the various adapters and SwitchResX, is there anything else I should try before buying a new monitor?

Hello EPWilson4984.
I have been experiencing the same issues you described. Connecting my brand new Mac Mini to my Westinghouse 24”monitor (L2410NM, 1920x1200 pixel resolution) produces a very fuzzy and washed out image quality. The Mac recognizes the monitor and applies the right resolution (1920x1200), but it looks just awful. The EDID info is definitely not right.
Now, I tried your suggestion (DVI-to-HDMI), and similar suggestions from other threads, but nothing works. Nothing seems to work at all.
The main input for the monitor is HDMI, so whatever cable I use, in the end always has to connect to the monitor via HDMI. I tried all these combinations with zero success:
Mac mini -> HDMI cable -> monitor (result: fuzzy and blurry image)
Mac mini -> displayport –HDMI adapter-> HDMI cable -> monitor (result: fuzzy and blurry image)
Mac mini -> displayport –DVI adapter-> DVI-to-HDMI cable -> monitor (result: it gives me a blank screen, no image at all)
I’m running out of options. Don’t know what to do. The 24” monitor produces beautiful, crisp images when hooked to my Windows 7 PC. It looks horrible when connected to my brand new Mac Mini.
Any alternatives you may have come across? Please let me know, thank you.

Repeated iMac Problems, Display Issues now Kernel Panics

I’m lost on what’s wrong with my 2008 iMac and I think I just have to bring it back into Apple for a third time to have it repaired. But something is obviously not working that is causing these issues.
About a month ago, my computer began showing heavy pixilation, flickering images and the on-screen graphics. The computer appeared to keep working in the background from what I could tell so I came to conclusion that it must be the graphics card that’s failing and I’ll need to have it looked at.
My 2008 iMac was custom-built by Apple with the Nvidia GeForce 8800GS that was offered as an upgrade option. There have been several posts on the display and graphics discussion board about that graphics card along with other postings other places about the problems the Nvidia GeForce 8-series had.
The display problems I mention above would not happen immediately, it would happen as the computer warmed up and was used for 3-5 minutes.
Anyway I brought my computer into Apple explained to them what I believed was the problem and the Apple Store technician agreed with me. Because I did not purchase AppleCare, it cost me $400 and a week without my iMac to have that card replaced.
I got the computer back two weeks ago and everything seemed fine. It was working as it always had. I even was running SMC Fan Control in order to keep the computer as cool as I could (the Nvidia problem was related to overheating).
But this morning, this is what I woke up to:
http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/7436/photoijr.jpg
The computer now has a semi-permanent pixilation when it starts up (as suppose to the pixilation 3-5 minutes into use). But more worrisome now is I cannot start up the computer without it going into a kernel panic. I tried resetting the PRAM, I tried starting in safe mode. The only thing I haven’t tried yet is booting from an external HD which I will try this evening (to hopefully isolate it if it’s hardware or a software problem).
The Apple Hardware Test has been unhelpful. When it originally failed three weeks ago, the test showed nothing and this morning when I ran it (permanent pixilation and all), it showed nothing. I feel like if it was a software issue the pixilation would have disappeared during the hardware test because that’s not an OS-X based program.
Here are my specs on this computer:
2008 iMac 24" 2.8ghz Intel Core Duo, 4 gigs of RAM (Crucial Purchased, I have original sticks somewhere), 1 TB HD, Nvidia GeForce 8800GS.

Hi, just to update you, I came home today and did a few things that didn't seem to solve my Mac's problems:
- I booted up from my firewire "safe" drive that I keep a copy os x on to see if I had a corrupted hard drive or something. It booted into the kernel panic I described above.
- I also swapped out the crucial RAM for Apple's factory RAM. It also booted into the Kernel Panic.
In both incidents, the display issues didn't go away. Now instead of pixelization i have vertical bars running in a pattern across my screen.
I'm currently trying to boot onto the OS X CD at this point to see if I could do a reinstall. It's taking quite awhile to boot into that.
With that in mind, I think we're still having graphics card issues or more seriously some logic board problem.

Bizarre & Random Dashboards Display Issues/Errors

Hello,
I am on BI 4.1 SP04 and these dashboards were developed using an equivalent level on the client tool. (4.1 SP04)
Sometimes we get very strange and often random display issues with our dashboards. I have attached screen shots for examples. Sometime we are missing data points from rendering on the charts, other times a line chart will extend into a bar chart. Has anyone experienced this or have any idea what could cause this? It is very frustrating...
Thanks for looking,
Gary
Missing data points on yellow line, yet line rendering with proper data (other wise would have 0's in places, etc)
Green line missing dot on last end point
In this example there are no dots on the yellow line or green line
In this example the blue line has turned into massive columns extending across the charts

This patch should resolve the issue in the last screenshot. I still face the other issues after upgrading to SP3 Patch 4. The dots in line chart take some time to appear. Also, if we use dynamic visibility, the components taking considerable time to appear sometimes. I hope this will also be fixed in later patches. Please share your experience too after applying the patch.
