Consistent color from monitor to monitor

What is the best way to get consistent color from one monitor to another. Is that even possible?

What CP says.
You need to calibrate and profile each one of your monitors regularly and often.  Don't expect them to look exactly the same unless they are identical, but the frequent and regular calibration and profiling are essential.

  • Synchronizing Color Profiles of two monitors

    How do i synchronize the color profile on my macbook pro with another monitor?

    They are just different. Some monitors have a "control panel" (accessed by buttons on the monitor) that adjusts the color "tone" (don't know the technical term). I'm pretty sure Samsung monitors have this feature. Maybe the two monitors are set up differently.
    You can also adjust the color using ColorSync feature of Mac OS X. Open System Preferences to the Displays pane. A control window opens on each display. Click on the Color tab. From there, you can calibrate the display so that they match as close as possible.
    So first, adjust the color from the display, if that's possible. Then use System Preferences to get the two matched as closely as possible.

  • Automatic color adjustment on different monitors ?

    Hi there,
    I have a new setup with three monitors, and I see a strange behavior when I move lightroom from one monitor to the other : there seems to be an automatic color adjustment made in the photos. On my center monitor they are warmer, and switch to a colder color on my other monitor. I have attached screen shots at the bottom.
    Here is a detailed explanation of what I do :
    - I have Lightroom opened on my center monitor. My photos have a kind of warm color cast (my screen is not very well calibrated). Lets call this color "Color A"
    - I start to drag the Lightroom window on my other monitor.
    - When I drag the window on my right (or left) monitor, I still see color A in my lightroom photos even if my window is now on my right monitor.
    - Only when I drop the Lightroom window does the color of the images switch to the colder color cast B.
    I don't see how this could be related to the monitors because the color doesn't change when the window cross from one monitor to the other, but only when I drop it (release the mouse button).
    Here is my setup :
    - Left and right monitors : Samsung XL2370 (DVI)
    - Center monitor : AOC Q2770 (Display Port)
    All these are plugged in 2 Sapphire Radeon HD 5770 Vapor-X (Crossfire).
    When I had only tow monitors (both using a DVI connection), I noticed no color change when I switched monitors... Could this be because of the DisplayPort connection ? Why is it only noticeable in Lightroom (and only in the photo part, the color of the application (buttons and such) doesn't change... Is there somewhere an option for an automatic color correction depending on the monitor into which Lightroom is visible ?
    I have tried to search on forums and support sites, but honestly, I don't really know what to search for ! Any help would be really appreciated.
    The screen shots :
    On my center monitor, and on my right monitor when I drag the window (and still hold the mouse button) :
    On my right monitor, when I drop the window (release the mouse button) :

    Hello R_Giskard, did you find a solution?
    I have the same problem and I did a lot of research to solve it with no success.
    I recently bought a Dell U2713HM Monitor and plugged it on my  Dell Studio XPS M1640 (Mid 2010) laptop, which runs on Windows 7 64 bits. This laptop has a RGBled screen.
    I calibrated both screens (laptop and external) using a Spyder 3 elite device.
    Strangely, when I look at photo open in Adobe Lightroom 5 or Photoshop CS6 and I move it between the two screens, it appears way more saturated on the U2713HM Monitor. For example, the skin tone  on a person is overly orange.
    What is striking, is that when I move the LightRoom window from a screen to another, the color saturation only changes when I drop the window, i.e. if I move if from the laptop screen (where colors are paler) to the U2713HM Monitor, the colors remain pale on the external monitor until I let go of the mouse.
    It's as if a different color profile was applied to the picture as soon as it "lands" on the other screen.
    The change occurs similarly one way or another.
    best regards,
    NC

  • Pro-100: Some colors do not match monitor; some do

    New to forum but have reviewed all questions that I can see for 2014 and do not see an answer. I am using Photoshop Lightroom and CS6 and the Pro-100 printer. Monitor is an NEC P221W, calibrated using SpectraSensor Pro. Printing with Canon CLI-42 ink on Canon Photo Paper Plus Glossy II. I have installed the latest XPS printer driver and am confident that I am using the printer with the proper driver. Here's the problem: I cannot get bright blues and greens to print with the same level of intensity that I see on the monitor. As a test, I printed some other photos that consist primarily of portraits, and skin tones and general color are superb. Only my effort to print a photo consisting of green leaves and bright blue flowers with the saturated color of the flowers popping off the paper does not seem to work.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You are going to need to over saturate the colors you want to exceed the rest of the colors in the photo.
    Over the years I have found out a few things that seem imposswible whrn prinitng.  This was true in my darkroom as well as printing digital.
    One, it is impossibile to get all the colors to match a monitor.  You can get several to match but not all of them.
    Two, the most important adjustments of your monitor is gray-scale, contrast and brightness.
    Three, Canon professional photo printers have a tendacy towards a reddish (warm tone) bias.  It is built in.  This is going to make over saturated greens more difficult.
    Remember you are looking at and comparing light on a screen to pigmented ink on paper.

  • Cannot remove file menu from split screen monitors.

    Hello, I installed the latest update from Apple which was the new Safari 7. I run 2 added monitors with my iMac being the primary. After update installed, both of my split monitors have the file menu on the top of the monitors. I went into the system menu under display and everything is as it should be yet I cannot remove the file menu from my secondary monitors....

    Thanks for the info however this still didnt solve the issue. I unselected and closed window but no changes were detected. I re opened the mission control and the box was selected again. I still have the file menues on both secondary monitiors. After i installed the latest update from apple, the one with the new safari update, is when i started having this issue. Everything worked fine before. My computer seems to be runing much slower now and when i click to open safri, it takes about 40 seconds to open safari..On both secondary monitiors, the file menues operate as if they are the main monitor, which my imac should be operating as the main....This is anoying...

  • Switching of displays from laptop to monitor

    Is it possible when using Thuderbolt display with a laptop to switch the display seen on the laptop with the display on the supplemental monitor? Or can you only use the additional monitor as a supplement to drag from the laptop to the screen?

    If your laptop supports thunderbolt then you can plug the tb monitor into it.  You can run it in mirrored mode or extended display mode.
    Arrangements, Menu Bar, Extended Displays, and Mirrored Displays
    When you have multiple monitors only one monitor is designated as the "main" monitor.  That's the one with the menu bar.
    If you look at the Arrangement tab in your Displays preferences you will see both monitors.  One will have a little white "menu bar" on it.  That's your main monitor.  You can drag the little menu bar to the other monitor if you wish to make it the main monitor.
    You cannot make both monitors main monitors.  However there is a third party app called MenuEverywhere that allows you to do that (it has mixed reviews).
    Your two monitors can be spatially arranged with the Arrangement in Displays as well.  Drag the monitors around each other to define their relationship.  Then you can drag the mouse or windows across with in that "space".  This is extended desktop mode and I recommend that to be able to use all the available screen real estate.  However there is a checkbox in the Arrangement to run in mirrored mode.  Now the two images are identical on both screens albeit the max screen size is determined by the smallest screen in the mirrored set.  You would of course have the menu bar on both screens since they are mirrors of each other.  But I think it's a waste of good screen real estate.

  • When sending to Color from FCP, my video is mostly black, with some green highlights.

    I have a sequence of ProRes 422 (LT) and I'm trying to send to Color from FCP, however, when the project opens, the video shows up as mostly black, with most highlights green, blue and red -- but 90% of the frame is completely black.  The weirdest part is, in the Color timeline, I can see the thumbnail for the video and it looks just fine.
    Currently, I have a 2010 Mac Mini with 4gb of RAM and it's hooked up to my monitor through the HDMI port.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Possible Noob Question: Correcting Colors From Cheap Digital Camera

    I'm somewhat embarrassed to ask this here, but ya gotta start some place.
    I'm a web dev so forgive my ignorance. I work with photos a lot, but they've always come to me from people who know what they're doing. I don't really understand digital -photography- that well---which is quite different I realise than film.
    Anyhoo, I'm trying to get better colors from a  pocket digital camera (Canon Elf 310) which (supposedly) has 12MP. The pictures I want to take for the job I have in mind involve clouds and landscapes and I gotta take a pocket came because we're camping/fishing.
    Anyway, they -could- be very cool but the tests I've done show that the colors are going to be just -wrong-. And by 'wrong' I mean everything either seems -under- saturated or hyper-statured. For example... the subtle pinks in clouds are rendered as washed out or will be overly contrasty (hyper) yellow to orange.
    The detail is quite sharp, however so does that mean there's something 'there' there which can be properly corrected? And if so, how?
    If it's too wordy, perhaps maybe someone can just recommend a good text on the subject?
    TIA,
    ---JC

    I completely agree with Mylenium.
    Beyond working with the various Tools in PS, for "Color Correction," I would start with a properly calibrated monitor, so that you know that what you are "correcting," is the Image, and not the monitor.
    Next, familiarization with those Tools, such as Hue/Saturation, will be very useful. The Help file can get you started, by defining what each Tool can do, and a short-course on how it does it.
    I would always work with non-destructive techniques, so that one can always go back and re-edit things. For that Hue/Saturation, mentioned above, I would use a Hue/Saturation Adjustment Layer. Same for Color Balance, and the rest.
    Last, you eye should be your guide, on that calibrated monitor. Adjust, until you get what YOU like (or what your client likes). Remember that by default, most of those "corrections" will be "global" for the Image, BUT with Layer Masks, you can restrict/constrain the corrections to just certain areas of that Image. At that point, knowing about the various Masking techniques will be very helpful. Besides the Help file, there are many useful tutorials on various Masking techniques, and many will apply to Layer Masks.
    Also be aware that different camera sensors might bias differently, and also with lower-resolution Images, you will likely not have a great deal of Dynamic Range to work with. Start with the best possible, from your camera. If possible, shoot in Camera RAW, and use the "processing" power of ACR (Adobe Camera RAW), to get started. You should be able to create a Preset for your camera (maybe shoot a McBeth Color Checker card, and calibrate that), to get that processing started.
    Good luck,

  • How to change the page color from white to gray in Indesign?

    While working on a document, the white pages (not pasteboard) appears too much bright to eyes. Is there any way to change the pages color from white to medium gray at display level only i.e. that gray should not appear while printing the document pages?
    Thanks,

    You haven't told us what version of InDesign or what operating system.
    If you have InDesign CC, you can change the color of the panels (Preferences > Interface). If you turn on Match Pasteboard Color in the same preference, you can make the pasteboard darker.
    However, to change the color of the page, you need to change your monitor brightness. On a Mac, that would be System Preferences > Displays and drag the brightness slider to the left.

  • I have 12 core with Quatro 4000 and 5770, I want to use dual monitor setup, monitors are NEC with Spectraview-II.  How do I connect?  4000 only has 1 Display Port and 1 DVI.  5770 has 2 of each, if I use both 5770 Display Ports, does the 4000 contribute?

    I just bought a 12 core with Quatro 4000 and 5770, I want to use dual monitor setup, monitors are NEC with Spectraview-II.  How do I connect?  4000 only has 1 Display Port and 1 DVI.  5770 has 2 of each, if I use both 5770 Display Ports, does the 4000 contribute any work at all?  I read where on a PC they would work together, but on a MAC they do not.
    I read that Display Port has higher band width than DVI, NEC monitors for best performance they recommend using DIsplay Port.
    When I was setting this up I looked at a Nvidia Quadro 4000, unfortunately it was for PC, it had 2 Display Ports, in the Mac version they reduce it to one.  I did not think there could be a difference.
    Mainly want to use it for CS6 and LR4.
    How to proceed??? 
    I do not want to use the Quadro 4000 for both, that would not optimize both monitors, one DP and 1 DVI.  Using just the 5770 would work but I do not think the 4000 would be doing anything, and the 5770 has been replaced by the 5870.more bandwidth.
    Any ideas, I am a Mac newbie, have not ever tried a Mac Pro, just bought off ebay and now I have these problems.
    As a last resort I could sell both and get a 5870.  That would work, I'm sure of that, it's just that I wanted the better graphics card.
    Thanks,
    Bill

    The Hatter,
    I am a novice at Mac so I read all I can.  From what I understand the NEC monitors I bought require Display Port for their maximum performance.  The GTX 680 only has DVI outputs.  Difference from what I understand is larger bandwidth with the DP.
    You said I have the 4000 for CUDA.  I am not all that familiar with CUDA and when I do read about it I do not understand it. 
    A concern I have is, that if I connect the 2 high end NEC monitors via the 5770, using it's 2 Display Ports I would have nothing connected to the 4000.  Is the 4000 doing anything with nothing connected?  I read where in a PC system the 2 cards would interact but in a Mac system they do not.
    Bottom line, as I see it, the 4000 will not be useful at all to me, since I want a dual monitor set-up.
    So far the 5870 seems the best choice, higher band width than the 5770, and it has 2 Display Ports to optimize the NEC monitors.
    I'm not sure how fine I am splitting hairs, nor do I know how important those hairs are.  I am just trying to set up a really fast reliable system that will mainly be used for CS6 and LR4.  Those NEC monitors are supposed to be top notch.

  • Why do the colors in images embedded in word (TIFF/JPEG) export off-color from Acrobat?

    I chose this forum as opposed to the printing and pre-press forum because I have a very limited existing knowledge of color space and profile matching and I didn't want to be (1) shunned and (2) overwhelmed by the level of technical detail.
    When I attempt to PDF a word document that contains a TIFF image, the TIFF image appears SIGNIFICANTLY off color.  I was able to substantially correct the problem by extracting the TIFF image within the Word document and resaving it as a JPEG, but it still isn't 100%.
    Here's what I know:
    I'm using Windows 7; Word 2010; and Acrobat X.  I also have Photoshop CS5.1 and InDesign CS4.
    My color SETTINGS are matched in each application to be tied to my monitor, and my monitor is set to the system default, which is a system default: :sRGBIEC61966-2.1"
    I'm using the document for professional purposes, so color matching is important to me, but I'm working with what is available to me at a nonprofit, so that means an Acer X183h monitor and a Canon iR C5185 networked office printer and no real color management policy or equipment.
    I'm looking for the best possible solution to maintain color performance between the monitor and the printer.

    Incredibly as I posted this the solution came to me - I leave it to the moderators to determine whether this should be preserved or deleted.  I wasn't able to find any help on this and it might be valuable to other users.
    The image itself that was embedded in the Word Document had a CMYK color profile. It was displaying appropriately in the software, but wouldn't convert to PDF or print. I opened the source file in Photoshop and converted it to my working profile, then re-added it to the word document and it is now reliably reproducing in the right color.
    Since dropping outside images into word is a common (if also poor) work process for people creating documents in the nonprofit sector, I think this kind of information could be valuable in the knowlegebase.

  • CCMS Alert Monitor (edit monitor-configuration.xml. ?)

    Hi Friends
    I'm trying to change the default polling time for the CCMS Alert Monitor, 5 minutes instead of 30 minutes.
    In http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/e5/5d1741b393f26fe10000000a1550b0/content.htm you can read:
    Accuracy
    The default polling period for the monitor is 30 minutes. If you want to have shorter polling periods, you can change them in the SAP NetWeaver Administrator as follows:
    1. Choose Availability and Performance Management ® Resource Monitoring ® Java System Reports (alias: /nwa/java-sys-reports).
    2. Select an arbitrary Number of errors entry in the monitoring tree of the Adapter Engine (leaf node).
    3. Choose Configuration in the right-hand pane.
    4. Choose Edit in the dialog box that appears.
    5. Change the polling period to 5 minutes, for instance.

    7. Choose Configuration Management ® Infrastructure Management ® Java Configuration Browser.
    8. Choose apps ® sap.com ® com.sap.aii.af.app ® Monitoring Configurator ® monitor-configuration.xml.
    9. In the xml file, change the polled-by-template period to the same value as above, for example, 5 minutes.

    Hi Raja,
    This is the same as doing the following:
    You can locate the monitor-configuration.xml file in the SDA com.sap.aii.af.app.sda (inside META-INF folder). You can find this SDA in the install directory of PI installation. In this XML file please locate and edit the following tag:
