Colour Managment I How could that be?

Hello Folks,
Just a serious Problem: If I make a Screenshot of my Desktop Theme and copy it in my Photoshop there is a slight colour mismatching! I Think the Photoshop Copy has less red in it. I mean, how could this be?
Same thing with saving JPGs. I pick a picture in Lightroom handle it with Photoshop (change the colour Profile from ProPhoto to sRGB etc.) saving it its a mess. I always have to go back to Lightroom and Export JPG (I mean simple JPG file) to preserve the colour.
What's wrong with me? =(
Thanks for you're time.

It sounds as if it's working as expected. You might want to read this thread:

Your desktop is displayed on your monitor in your monitor's color space. If you want it to match when shown in a standard color space, such as sRGB, do this:
1. Capture your screen.
2. Assign the monitor color profile to it when you create a document containing the image in Photoshop.
3. Convert the image to the standard profile, e.g., sRGB.
Some people prefer ease of use and more consistency between color-managed and non-color-managed apps over accuracy. In that case you can skip steps 2 and 3 by using sRGB as your monitor color profile.

SWAP device from day-one; How could that be ?

I bought in Feb.2011 a C7-00 in Singapore.
I updated it to Anna in July 2011.
Device never went to NCC, never had any problem, raisonably happy so far.
Today I learn my device product code is 059B899, which is equal to SWAP... And I cannot upgrade to Belle ?!
How could that be ?!

Are you absolutely sure you updated to Anna? The servers do not show a version of Anna available for this product code.
It's quite possible that the store you bought the phone from has sold you a refurbished unit and not a brand new mobile phone, hence the SWAP device status of the product code.
Anyway, the advice from Nokia is to take your SWAP phone to a Nokia Care Point where they have been instructed to re-program the motherboard with the correct product code. They should also update the phones software to Belle.

My phone started erasing everything on it on its own! All my contacts have been erased even on icloud! Is there a way to get them back? How could that happen?

My phone started erasing everything on it on its own! All my contacts have been erased even on icloud! Is there a way to get them back? How could that happen? I thought I was 100% secure with Icloud but it does not seem the case! Now I have contacts retrieved form my email accounts but nothing from icloud!
Please help!

Well with the contacts, if you had back up assistant or google back up then you may be able to retrieve them.If not then they are gone for good. Withe the message you ae getting about the space, since you cleared everything out and still get that message you might or actually need to do afactory reset thru settings. So make sure the apps you want are saved on your card or just do the reset and redownload the apps

My daughter said that after she updated he Ipad to io6, my Icloud info appeared on it. She does not have my password so how could that happen? How do I make sure it gets off there.

My daughter said that after she updated her Ipad to io6, my name and other info appeared on her device. She does not have my login info so how could this happen? Her Mom purchased the device not me. The two devices have never been synced and never shared the same WiFi. How could this happen and how do I get it off?

It could only happen if your iCloud account was set up on her iPad when she updated to iOS 6. To fix this she needs to delete the account from her iPad and set up her own with a different Apple ID. (Deleting the account will only remove it from her iPad, not from iCloud. Your device will not be effected by this.)
If she was syncing data with your account such as contacts and calendars, her data would have been merged with yours and would now appear on both devices. In that case, she needs to go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPad. After everything is turned off, she should scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Next, she should set up a new iCloud account on her iPad using a different Apple ID and turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to this new account. You will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the unwanted data (such as deleting her contacts from your account, and vice versa). These changes will be reflected on each device. When finished you will have individual iCloud accounts with just your own data on them.
If she wasn't syncing her data with your account, all she needs to do is go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then set up her own with a different Apple ID.

My ipod touch 4G is having several problems, how could that be ?

Look guys, my ipod touch 4G's seems to be a lot weaker than its friends. There were a lot of lags even after restoring (I haven't jailbroken it yet). And even a lot of wierd problems.
Here's a list of where these problems took place :
Lagging after slide to unlock, where I can't input anything (tap/slide) for about 5 secs on the homescreen
Lagging when playing graphic intensive games (but on my friend's ipod touch 4G, it was OK) such as Dead Trigger
Severe lagging when pressing home button after using CPU intensive application
Home button always reacts about 2-3 secs late even when I'm at the homescreen
Severe battery shortage, 4 hours to watch video on 1/4 brightness and muted speaker (i hear the sound through headphone)
Back of the ipod touch always warm even when unused (no background apps)
Tried to get the ipod touch to ASP but warranty revoked since I can't prove its possession by registering the product to my AppleID
I thought it was a problem with iOS 5.1.1 (preinstalled to the ipod touch), and I found out that it was supposed to be pre-installed to iOS 5.0.1
I don't know if it had any other problem although I'm still trying to look for those other problems. I asked on other non-apple authorized websites, and responds were negative as if I were conned for buying this used ipod as a new retail unit.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. ou do not need a waranty.

I need a slideshow to display my comic pages. I tried the one that comes with muse, but what if the user wants to make the comic page bigger? How could that be done please?

also I like the look of the lightbox but don't want the thumbnails. why, in this mode, is the thumbnail box uncheckable to make it go off?

1. Use menu "File/AddFiles for Upload" to upload an image of whatever size.
2. Place a smaller version of this Image or an icon of your choice on your page.
3. Use the hyperlink command in the upper command strip to link the small image to the uploaded file ("Link to file …")
4. If someone clicks onto the places image, the big version is loaded into an extra browser window and allows scaling..
Your second question: How should one trigger a lightbox, it there is no thumbnail to do it?
Alternative: Use the lightbox display composition and delete all triggers but one. Place into the lightbox a basic slideshow without any thumbnail. This way you have one trigger to start a slideshow within a lightbox

I got a message saying I had changed my security question dated tomorrow, how could that be?

I have a macbook from 2010. somehow when trying to download an app from the itunes store, I must have answered both my password and my security questions wrong because they locked my account. I sent a message to support and finally got a message back that said It had to do with security. Since I no longer have apple care they told me I would be changed $30 for the call. I then tried to changed both the password and the security question and was sent back a message saying I changed the password, dated tomorrow. I had to change the security and password questions twice before it accepted them and now I'm not sure which they accepted, especially since it said that the changes were made on March 4 when it is only March 3. I have a Macbook 2.26 Ghz Intel core 2 duo and 2G 1067 MHz DDR3. My OS is Version 10.6.8. All of this just to download an app which didn't go through and then I had to change my user name to use this. Has anyone else had any of these problems?

when i go into the music file under my iphone in itunes, the songs that will not sync are grayed out with the frozen icon next to them

How do I fix colour picker to work across different colour-managed monitors?

Hey everyone!
I'm assuming this problem I'm having stems from having colour-calibrated monitors, but let me know if I'm wrong!
To preface, this is the setup I have:
Windows 7
3 monitors as follows, all have individual colour profiles calibrated using the Spyder 3
Cintiq 12WX
Dell U2410
Dell 2409WFP
Photoshop CS6 - Proofed with Monitor RGB, and tested with colour-managed and non-colour-managed documents
I usually do most of my work on the Cintiq 12WX, but pull the photoshop window to my main monitor to do large previews and some corrections. I noticed that the colour picker wouldn't pick colours consistently depending on the monitor the Photoshop window is on.
Here are some video examples:
This is how the colour picker works on my Dell U2410: http://screencast.com/t/lVevxk5Ihk
This is how it works on my Cintiq 12WX: http://screencast.com/t/tdREx4Xyhw9
Main Question
I know the Cintiq's video capture makes the picture look more saturated than the Dell's, but it actually looks fine physically, which is okay. But notice how the Cintiq's colour picker doesn't pick a matching colour. It was actually happening the opposite way for a while (Dell was off, Cintiq was fine), but it magically swapped while I was trying to figure out what was going on. Anyone know what's going on, and how I might fix it?
Thanks for *any* help!
Semi-related Question regarding Colour Management
Colour management has always been the elephant-in-the-room for me when I first tried to calibrate my monitors with a Spyder colourimeter years ago. My monitors looked great, but Photoshop's colours became unpredictable and I decided to abandon the idea of calibrating my monitors for years until recently. I decided to give it another chance and follow some tutorials and articles in an attempt to keep my colours consistent across Photoshop and web browsers, at least. I've been proofing against monitor colour and exporting for web without an attached profile to keep pictures looking good on web browsers. However, pictures exported as such will look horrible when uploaded to Facebook. Uploading pictures with an attached colour profile makes it look good on Facebook. This has forced me to export 2 versions of a picture, one with an attached colour profile and one without, each time I want to share it across different platform. Is there no way to fix this issue?
Pictures viewed in Windows Photo Viewer are also off-colour, but I think that's because it's not colour managed... but that's a lesser concern.

I think I've figured out the colour management stuff in the secondary question, but the weird eyedropper issue is still happening. Could just be a quirk from working on things across multiple monitors, but I'm hoping someone might know if this is a bug/artifact.
Going to lay out what I inferred from my experiments regarding colour management in case other noobs like me run into the same frustrations as I did. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong - the following are all based on observation.
General Explanation
A major source of my problems stem from my erroneous assumption that all browsers will use sRGB when rendering images. Apparently, most popular browsers today are colour-managed, and will use an image's embedded colour profile if it exists, and the monitor's colour profile if it doesn't. This was all well and good before I calibrated my monitors, because the profile attached to them by default were either sRGB or a monitor default that's close to it. While you can never guarantee consistency on other people's monitors, you can catch most cases by embedding a colour profile - even if it is sRGB. This forces colour-managed browsers to use sRGB to render your image, while non-colour-managed browsers will simply default to sRGB. sRGB seems to be the profile used by Windows Photo Viewer too, so images saved in other wider gamut colour spaces will look relatively drab when viewed in WPV versus a colour-managed browser.
Another key to figuring all this out was understanding how Profile Assignment and Conversion work, and the somewhat-related soft-proofing feature. Under Edit, you are given the option to either assign a colour profile to the image, or convert the image to another colour profile. Converting an image to a colour profile will replace the colour profile and perform colour compensations so that the image will look as physically close to the original as possible. Assigning a profile only replaces the colour profile but performs no compensations. The latter is simulated when soft-proofing (View > Proof Colors or ctrl/cmd-Y). I had followed bad advice and made the mistake of setting up my proofing to Monitor Color because this made images edited in Photoshop look identical when the same image is viewed in the browser, which was rendering my images with the Monitor's colour profile, which in turn stemmed from yet another bad advice I got against embedding profiles . This should formally answer Lundberg's bewilderment over my mention of soft-proofing against Monitor Colour.
Conclusion and Typical Workflow (aka TL;DR)
To begin, these are the settings I use:
Color Settings: I leave it default at North American General Purpose 2, but probably switch from sRGB to AdobeRGB or ProPhoto RGB so I can play in a wider gamut.
Proof Setup: I don't really care about this anymore because I do not soft-proof (ctrl/cmd-Y) in this new workflow.
Let's assume that I have a bunch of photographs I want to post online. RAWs usually come down in the AdobeRGB colour space - a nice, wide gamut that I'll keep while editing. Once I've made my edits, I save the source PSD to prep for export for web.
To export to web, I first Convert to the sRGB profile by going to Edit > Convert to Profile. I select sRGB as the destination space, and change the Intent to either Perceptual or Relative Colorimetric, depending on what looks best to me. This will convert the image to the sRGB colour space while trying to keep the colours as close to the original as possible, although some shift may occur to compensate for the narrower gamut. Next, go to Save for Web. The settings you'll use:
Embed Color Profile CHECKED
Convert to sRGB UNCHECKED (really doesn't matter since you're already in the sRGB colour space)
and Preview set to Internet Standard RGB (this is of no consequence - but it will give a preview of what the image will look like in the sRGB space)
That's it! While there might be a slight shift in colour when you converted from AdobeRGB to sRGB, everything from then on should stay consistent from Photoshop to the browser
Edit: Of course, if you'd like people to view your photos in glorious wide gamut in their colour-managed browsers, you can skip the conversion to sRGB and keep them in AdobeRGB. When Saving for Web, simply remember to Embed the Color Profile, DO NOT convert to sRGB, and set Preview to "Use Document Profile" to see what the image would look like when drawn with the embedded color profile

Printing Colour Issues - colour management settings

Hi there
I've been having some serious printing problems recently when I print from InDesign CS5 and also from Acrobat when printing PDFs exported from InDesign.
All of the print out colours a wrong (such as Blacks printing as pink)
I have tried changing several settings, but nothing seems to be fixing it.
I've replaced all my inks and I can print fine when printing in other programs such as word, so its not an ink issue.
My printer is a Canon MP540
I'm using a Mac, on OS X Lion.
I think i'm using the default colour management settings, however could this possibly be the issue?- which settings might work?
I would REALLY APPRECIATE any help with this issue!
Many Thanks

if I look at the same image in the default 'Preview' on Mac, the
colours look different to what I see in PS
First, that would clearly indicate your image does not have an embedded profile, or Ps is being told to ignore the embedded profile — Ps is applying a different profile (or it may have been dinked around with in its Edit> Color Settings> More Options> Advanced Controls).
It is best for most people not to dink around with Color Settings> More Options...to get back a Default starting point, just select a preset like North American Prepress 2.
I know there are a million posts and articles on this complex subject
You only need one good article to grasp the basic issues.
The short answer is you are either missing something in scenario One, or you are hitting a bug.
When Photoshop setups a correct SourceSpace-to-PrintSpace Conversion the Epson will print your file faithfully if your Source Color is within print gamut and your Print Space reflects an accurate ICC profile to the specific printer-paper-ink you are printing to.
I would recommend testing with a known good file like the download Photodisc PDI test image (so bad files don't confuse the process)...

How could i mount the usb image drive at the desktop?

i'm using Lion and since my new computer has arrived I got a little disapointed! First, and at least for me the more awful issue, the image of a pluged usb drive DO NOT appear at desktop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! how could that happen? it was a very usefull treat! my hope is my ignorance: i think i'm not dealing properly with my new computer, i really hope there is a hidden way to activate that!
second: why **** the quickplayer DO NOT recognise subtitles? every time i try to watch a movie with subtitle the quicktime closes and the quicktime 7 opens!
third: why activity monitor DO NOT show the right disk free space? even erasing huge files the available free space is frozen! do not increase!
sorry for my english mistakes!

Thanks for the reply. I was able to save the data on the Macbook Air whose HD got corrupted by using File Sharing (ethernet connecting two Macbook Airs).
I am also going to make a disk image of the HD using Disk Utility and mount that Disk Image onto an external hard drive. That way I can save the hard drive contents.

My two year old has managed to invert the colour on a MacBook, so that everything appears in negative. How can this be reversed? I have explored Preferences, but can;t seem to see anything relevant.

Yes, he does have agile fingers and they are everywhere! I managed to find a solution to the problem by going to the Language section and resetting to black on white...

My problem is that after printing the first photo or picture, when I come to print a second, both the Colour Management and Epson Colour Controls are greyed out and showing No Colour Management

I have recently purchased a Mac computer (updated to Maverick) to go with my Epson Stylus Photo RX500 printer which has given excellent service with my old Windows computer. However, when trying to print pictures or photos via Photoshop Elements 11, the best results I can get are using the Colour Management and Epson Colour controls in the printing options box.
My problem is that after printing the first photo or picture, when I come to print a second, both the Colour Management and Epson Colour Controls are greyed out and showing No Colour Management, The only way I can reset the controls is to shut down the printer and computer and restart.
Could there may be a setting somewhere that I need to adjust please? I have been in touch with Epson and they say that the Epson Colour controls are part of the Photoshop Elements software but a post on the Adobe forum brought no results and I am unable to contact Adobe.
<Edited by Host>

Hello Garry. Thanks for the reply. I guess I should have used a different title from "How do I post a question?" That should come after trying to resolved the colour settings first. However, to answer your question, after experimenting with all the different settings in Photoshop Elements and Epson software, I now start with PSE11 Colour settings then click "no colour management" then after clicking Print, I choose "More Options/Colour Management/Colour Handling/Printer Manages Colour" then I choose "Page Setup/Layout/Colour Matching" which then shows Epson Colour Controls but I also choose "Layout/Colour Management" which then shows "Colour Controls/Mode" I then of course choose an Epson printer profile depending on the paper I am using. I get good results but as I said, the Colour Matching and Colour Controls are then greyed out. Hope that makes sense.

How to mimic non colour managed environment in CS6

Can anyone tell me please if it is possible to see in Photoshop what an image will look like when it is out in the un-colour managed world?.I can see how you can do it if you are saving for web because you can preview it in a browser, but is it possible to do this with TIFs and PSDss please?
I have a wide colour gamut display and even with it set to sRGB colour mode emulation, sRGB tagged images that look correctly saturated in Photoshop look oversaturated once out of it and in an uncolour managed environment - particularly the reds. If I can replicate this environment in PS I can edit the colours to make them more neutral looking.
Thanks.

I think you are very wise t have x2 sRGB displays. If a large sRGB display had been available I would have bought it.
Could you bear to help me with another - display issue,please?
As part of the work I do I have to make screen recordings of images being produced for the magazine. I use Camtasia for this and they insist on a 1024x768 resolution. This has been no problem in the past with my standard sRGB display (NEC 2490/2) because the aspect ratio was right for it.
The aspect ratio was not right for the Spectraview display (2560x1440) so I used the original 2490 also attached to my graphics card to make the recordings at 1024x768.
Now, something has changed in the arrangements and when I set the 1920x1200 display to 1024x768 the image stretches as if it were in the wide display. I am defeated as to why the standard display can no longer show 1024x768 at the correct aspect ratio.
I am not aware of having changed any W7 settings - both displays are recognised. Though I do notice that under the "advanced settings for the W7 resolution window, and under the "Monitor" tab, the 2490 is not available - only the wider display (271) - here is an image that shows this:
When you open the "Colour Management" tab all the resolutions are available for the 2490/2 but as I said, when you select the 1024x768, it appears as it would (and does) on the wider display.
Can you suggest what I've done wrong and how I might fix this, please.
Thanks.

My I pad is non responsive, and the screen is full of coloured stripes. How do I fix that?

My brand new I pad 2 is non responsive and the screen is blac with horizontal coloured stripes.
How do I fix that?

You could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
If that doesn't work then other things to try are a restore via your computer's iTunes, and then reset back to factory defaults. If none of them work then you may need to contact Apple.
