Contrast Problem?

Am I the only one who have bad contrast on my ipod touch. Dark video looks bad, even the halo around the battery when the ipod is syncing. I already exchange it for another one and the new one have the same probleme even in worse ...
Thanks

Odd - this was an issue with early shipments of the ipod touch but have since been corrected. When did you make the exchange? I got an ipod touch for Xmas and the contrast is great.

IPod 3G Contrast problem

Hi,
I have a Third generation iPod 15GB that I bought a year ago. Just in November, I get contrast problems. Somehow my iPod would change the contrast and would even show the iPod logo when I turn it on after charging it full on the dock. Anyone help me please? I am sick and tired of changing the contrast back to full contrast.

I have to enter another network (do not choose default network, enter the network name and enter the password. It works!

Brightness/Contrast Problem in CS3 & CS2

When I adjust (using legacy option) the sliders, then hit okay, the adjustments don't apply, and the image reverts to it's original state as if I hadn't adjusted the contrast or brightness at all. It did this in both CS3 & CS2. Has anyone else had this problem before?
My workaround was to make a B/C adjustment layer and then merge visible to a new layer, but it did the exact same thing. The new merged layer didn't have the B/C applied to it. This is very strange.

We should move on but calling someone rude because they misunderstood something and made a poor judgement is uncalled for.
Moving on I think that the advice to use curve instead of B?C would offer better control
As to why the adjustment layer you used did not have an effect as expected there may have been a small selection active when you invoked the layers adjustment everything seem to work but it is is only being applied to what might be a very small selection. Perhaps one you are accidentally creating. Check to see if you have a selection tool active and watch how you are moving the cursor.
I hold the stylus in a funny way and sometimes make a selection and swear i am not touching the tablet with the stylus but on more careful observation or by just hitting escape or command D and then making the adjustment all is well.
This might not be your problem but it is the only one I can think of at the moment.
if this is the problem keep in mind this is not really a photoshop problem or solution and an unlikely scenario, even though it is a possible one.
No one here would be expected to know this and of course it can be quite off base.

CS5 contrast problem while printing

I've got at problem with my color settings in Photoshop Cs 5.
All pictures look completely normal on screen - this has been tested on different computers and monitors. The contrast and colors are also fine.
But, when printing the picture, that means develloping that picture in our digital minilab (Noritsu QSS 3300) the picture looks completely different. The contrast is way too high - the picture seems to have a rought yellow blur - the color saturation is too high, and hue is a bit changed also. It doesnt look the way it was on screen.
I do not know, what to do now. The only possibility to solve this problem is to open and simply save the picture in photoshop version (CS4) on another pc, without adjustments for color or saturation or whatever. After that the pictures again to the minilab - now they are completly normal! Just like they have been the whole time on screen. How can we solve that problem with CS5.
Is there a wrong color managment setting.
We compared the settings with our CS4 pc and there are no differences at all.
What is the problem - and how can we solve it?
Kind regards!

Hi Mylenium,
our monitors are calibrated using the spider tool. We shoot all pictures using the Adobe RGB color profile. Our MiniLab prints with SRGB color profile. Our Photoshop are also set for the SRGB profile. I don't think that our problem is an improper calibration, but a wrong color profile in Photoshop CS5. This is because the pictures looks the same using Photoshop CS4 or CS5 on all of our monitors. But the pictures saved in CS5 having the mentioned problem, and the same pictures resaved in CS4 without adjustments have them not. Thurthermore, the pictures resaved in CS4 looks in all Viewers on all Computers the same as the original from CS5. Only the printer shows the difference. We think that the SRGB color profile from CS4 has been "optimized" by Adobe in CS5 but in a way that something doesn't work correctly for us. I can upload some pictures were the difference cannot be seen in a viewer but in our printings.

TV out low contrast problem with Tiger

I just recently upgraded to Tiger and went straight from 10.3.9 to 10.4.5.
My mini-DVI to TV adapter has always worked perfectly before, but now the display on my TV is very dim, with extremely low contrast and brightness. The TV is recognised correctly and all the settings, color profiles etc. are correct.
I have verified that this is strictly a software issue as booting from 10.3.9 fixes the problem, and the output to TV is bright and beautiful once again.
I've searched, but found no mention of this particular problem anywhere. I would love to find a solution as the TV out from the PowerBook is basically broke, and dragging the external FW drive to the TV to boot from 10.3.9 is not a practical option.
PowerBook G4 12" 1 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.5) 768 RAM

Thought it wouldn't do any harm to run MacJanitor - but it didn't do any good, either.
This continues through restarts. It is definitely local to this one machine as another Mac does not show it.
EDIT If I go in via http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=160 I get the same thing except the Recent Threads only show solved/question icons, no titles or anything else.

My Ipad4 has an obvious problem with overcontrast. This is a factory defect isn't it? This contrast problem bothers me.

My Ipad4 has been having a problem when I close apps. The contrast of the screen has been fluctuating. Any tips?

Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

Anyone else noticing mid-contrast problems using Aperture 2.1?

Before I moved up to Aperture 2.1 (never had just 2.0, so I don't know if it's affected or if it's just 2.1), I would use the highlight and shadow mid contrast adjustment for all of my contrast adjusting. I rarely used the actual contrast slider that was in the exposure tab.
I've noticed after I imported my old library that any picture I click on that was edited with Aperture 1.5.6 or before that any high-contrast images (again, adjusted with the highlight and shadows mid contrast slider, not the main contrast slider) that I click on, the parts of the picture that are too dark to contain information turn into this weird negative image of the detail that used to be there.
The thumbnail will look like it did on previous version of the software, then I click on it, the picture will pop up and look like it did, and then when it's finished loading all the lost data will turn into a negative image of what was there. I can't even look at most of my old pictures or they'll be messed up.
At first I thought it was just the software showing me that there was no data there, kind of like the highlight and shadow indicators, but the changes are present in files that are exported.
This is incredibly disappointing seeing as how most of my images feature a slightly high contrast look to the. I also had many presets that could mimic cross processing and mimic HDRs that made portraits look fantastic and I can't use either of them anymore.
I've sent a feedback complaint to Apple, so hopefully it'll be fixed in future upgrades. I love everything else about the new software, but this has put a huge damper on things.
Just wanted to know if anyone else is having this problem, and better yet, if anyone has a fix for it.
Thanks!

It happened with the latest Aperture update (2.1) which came out late March. It's been bothering me ever since. Yeah, and we've asked the Aperture team to fix the bug a while back (cf http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7281885).
The software update process employed by Apple seems to be quite convoluted for a fix to take this long... else the bug is sitting in the system and can't easily be resolved. I hope that we get a fix with or close to system 10.5.4.
What is really bothersome is that Apple, as ever, is real tight-lipped about their release schedule. Again, I'm sure this is to do with how their software is interconnected (Aperture depends on CoreGraphics depends on the System depends on ...). It really doesn't help productivity since planning ahead becomes difficult (when do I get to process my new portraits)?
Somewhat annoyed,

Brightness/Contrast problems

I've noticed when I watch some dvds on my comp that the dark areas are much darker than they should be, sometimes to the point that I can't make out characters that are on the screen, these are parts that are clearly visible on a normal tv.
I've been to 2 websites that show value gradients for calibration, and I noticed that between 0 and about 15 percent looks completely black, so I'm losing that much value range in those areas.
When I calibrate the screen, if I brighten it to see the dark areas then the brights become far too bright. When I go into the calibration it shows the apple that you're supposed to match up with in value, when I do all that the screen becomes much too bright again.
I'm using the sRGB 2.1 profile since it's the most widely used, the default eMac profile is also way too bright. Also, in the first step of the calibration it says to adjust the brightness and contrast until the oval is barely visible, when I have these sliders all the way up as bright as can be I still can't see the oval, which makes the calibration process a little difficult when I can't even pull off the first step with accuracy.
Is there anything I can do about this?, is there an application that will help me adjust just the black point without making the whole screen brighter? Thanks in advance.

update
I found a shareware application called SuperCal that did the trick, I managed to keep the 2.2 gamma that pc users have while not making things too dark or bright, the black and white points are leveled out now so the gradient bars on test pages look good now. Thanks anyways guys .

Cinema 23" contrast problem

I have just noticed on my Cinema 23" that any pale tints below 9% are just not there they've completely disappeared. An obvious evidence of it is in photoshop when I go to the Color Picker the top left corner of the color select box has gone pure white for about 5mm.
If I design a drop shadow/tint in Illustrator OR FreeHand on my G4 connected to my old 17" screen using any value below 9% and then open the file on my MacPro connected to my new 23" cinema the shadow/tint is invisible.
I have tried calibrating several times (expert and basic) and adjusted brightness but to no avail.
Has this happened to anyone else - am I missing something completely obvious?

I have this issue too and am quite frustrated.
The accesibilty panel doesnt have anything to do with my problem.
I do pro level motion gfx and multimedia design and it is impossible to verify that alpha masks and soft graduations are showed perfect. The screen is useless for any design work.
I made a website with a few tests for my local Apple tech service center
check it out here:
http://lab.desilence.net/cinemascreen_test/
They said that my screen was perfect according to their internal test tools. But they could easily see the problem when i showed the tests on the web.
The apple service center concluded that all their 23" screens had the same issue. And that it might be a problem with part of or the entire generation of the latest version of the 23"cinema screens
If your cinemascreen is the latest model i will encourage you to check out the tests - and i will be happy to hear about the results.
I will put photos and video of the issue up shortly
Cheers,

Photoshop Levels/Brightness & Contrast Problem (PS CS2)

When I try to apply Levels & or Brightness & Contrast settings to an image, it always seems to revert back to the way it was. The filters won't do anything it seems. I have Adobe Photoshop CS2. At home it did the same thing and I re-installed Photoshop only to find out it still did not work. Is there something I am forgetting to do? Your help will be much appreciated!!!

View your image at 100% (Actual Pixels) when making adjustments.
(And I'm going to take a wild guess that you are working on a line drawing or scanned half-tone image.)

JTextPane left indent contrast problem

Hi, I'm trying to get left indent to work in a JTextPane - I think it's known as 'hanging indent'.
I got the indent itself to work just fine, however for some reason the indent code changes the contrast of the first rows to much higher than for other rows.
The contrast change seems to happen when I pass a negative float to StyleConstants.setFirstLineIndent(MutableAttributeSet set, float i) and only when anti-aliasing is enabled.
I also tried to 'fix' the contrast by setting:
g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_TEXT_LCD_CONTRAST, 250) for my JTextPane; 250 is lowest possible contrast value.
This seemed to make the first rows exactly normal, but as excpected, the other rows had way too little contrast now.
Here's a simple example that might demonstrate this 'effect'.
I also noted that when I select the text by dragging it with mouse, the contrast seems to become normal again (I've set the selection color to white in the example code to make this more apparent).
Anyone have ideas what's going on here or how to fix this? Thanks in advance.
I'm using Win XP and JDK 6.0 Update 1, Geforce 7600. My OS has anti-aliasing enabled and Java 6 uses the OS AA setting automatically, so I used -Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=false to disable anti-aliasing.

Follow-up question:
We have two writers using RH on two different computers. We
work on different FM/RH projects, but we need to use the same
styles. If we use RH's GUI to modify the fmstyles.css styles, do
both writers have to do this separately for their own projects or
is there some way to share the CSS modifications so only one person
has to do it?

Toshiba laptop contrast problem?

I have a Toshiba i5 laptop and the contrast keeps going completely bonkers for seemingly no reason. I don't do anything extreme on my computer, I don't game or even use a music player, I just have firefox open all the time... and all of a sudden the contrast freaks out and everything is super bright and halo-ee and obnoxious.
I tried doing the color calibration thing and it got to the contrast calibrator and said to use the contrast adjustment buttons on my screen to make the picture look a certain way. Well that'd be helpful if such contrast buttons existed.
i try open XTREME NITRO this site but could not do [Removed] system restart
Any help/advice would be superb. It's really getting irritating...
[Removed link that could be promotional.]

Post your full model and operating system so we are not guessing. But i would start with uninstalling and reinstalling the video driver.

Wallstreet Screen & Contrast Problems under OS X

I have a 233MHz 12" Wallstreet that I installed OS X onto it (10.2.0) (128MB RAM, 4GB HD, CD-ROM) and during the install I could see the screen fine. Now that it is installed everything is white. Adjusting the brightness does nothing besides making it brighter or black when all the way down.
The contrast button that worked fine under OS 9 is now the volume button. How can I fix this? Thanks guys!!!

Eric,
It sounds like you have the 12.1" STN display (dual-scan, passive-matrix). Apple never debugged/optimized OSX for this model so it has a few quirks, one being the contrast button turning into a volume button. The 12.1", 13.3" and 14.1" TFT active-matrix displays don't have a contrast button, just brightness.
There have been so few posts regarding this model and OSX that I don't know what the "fixes" may be. However, here are a few suggestions:
1. Reset the PRAM:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379?viewlocale=en_US
2. If no success, reset the power manager:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1431?viewlocale=en_US
3. If you could see anything on the display, I would say go into System Preferences and see if there is a 'Contrast' pane and make adjustments there.
4. If you have any bootable pre-OSX CD, boot to it and set the contrast if necessary, then restart to OSX.

Fading Ipod Mini Screen!!!! Contrast problems!!

Okay, so i just sent my messed up ipod to apple and then sent me back a brand new one. Everythings fine cept the screen keeps fading and once in a while it will go back to normal again. I thought the contrast was not up far enough but it is up all the way!! Please help, i dont want to have to send it in again

Hi Dylanthegamer,
If you are having issues with the Contrast setting on you iPod Mini, you may find the information on page 53 of the following manual helpful:
If the Screen Is Too Light or Too Dark
1 Select Settings > Contrast.
2 Use the Click Wheel to adjust the contrast.
If you accidentally set the screen contrast too light or too dark, you can reset it to the
default by pressing and holding the Menu button for about 4 seconds.

Contrast problems with T440s

I have two T440s's, both thankfully with the AUO displays. One I've had for nearly a year, the other is new. The contrast is much worse on the new machine. Blacks are lighter, and whites are darker. I've gone through windows 8 calibration but there doesn't seem to be any way to change the contrast. Is there any solution for this or does the new machine have a defective display?
Not sure if this matters but I should mention that both the old and new T440s came originally with LG displays but I was able to get them replaced with AUO.

I have this exact issue with the ipad mini with retina display... Anytime the movie image is below a certain threshold of darkness, the contrast of the entire display is altered.. I too have been replicating it by tapping the on screen controls on and off. You can see this if you the multitask switch to a different app, the colours are washed out in that app for a few seconds as well. This appears confined to the movies app because opening a solid black image in full screen then switching apps does not cause the same effect.
I rang up apple support the other day and as per usual it was the first time they'd ever heard of it... Beginning to feel like I'm the luckiest man alive as it's always me that gets these issues. This after already having exchanged my first retina mini due to a dead pixel... And currently having saturation issues in iTunes on my MacBook Air watching videos full screen.. Again an issue reversed by the on screen controls...
