Cover design preview a different colour to what is uploaded problem?

Just wondered if anyone has had this problem and if anyone has any suggestions. Every time I upload the new cover, it has a horrible dark blue tint to it which isn't on the original pdf file. This is the second cover I've uploaded for my book and I don't recall having this problem originally.
Has anybody else experienced this problem? Does it affect the final product?
Thanks,
Hannah

It's a fairly common problem that has been discussed numerous times over the years.
Lulu converts the image used for the Preview , but not for the book, into a Flash rendition.
You have to redesign the cover image to meet both requirements of the cover and of theme preview. It may take a number of iterations to achieve what you want.

Monitor displaying different colour then what is being printed

When I print my newly designed letterhead what I see on the screen is different from what is printed. I do not believe it is the printer as all other documents print the same colour as what's seen on the screen. Please help....

what gets printed still doesn't match the monitor (it's darker, overall).
Photoshop-Epson Print Workflow has a bug when you select 16 bit in the print dialogs (don't check those options in the printing routine)
SECRET: How-to-make-the-print-match-the-monitor goal
Matching your print to what you see on your monitor begins with a good monitor profile (to PROOF the color accurately on the monitor), and it succeeds with a good target print profile (and proper print work flow) to PROOF the color accurately on the print.
The file (the document's Source Color Space) is independent of Photoshop:
The Color Management System CMS, Photoshop, ONLY uses the monitor profile for one thing: To PROOF a source file on the monitor (the monitor profile has zero to do with how the file prints).
The Color Management System CMS, Photoshop, ONLY uses the printer (target) profile Print Space for one thing: To PROOF a source file on the paper (the printer profile Print Space has zero to do with how the file looks on the monitor).
While my simple PROOFING ANALOGY doesn't address the pitfalls of relying on a bad monitor to evaluate and adjust digital color, it does make two important facts about Photoshop and professional color-managed printing workflows:
The printer can PROOF (print) the source file faithfully regardless of how right or wrong the monitor is set up, and
The monitor can PROOF (display) the source file faithfully regardless of how right or wrong the printer is set up.
Remember, this is true simply because the Source Profile is independent of the Monitor Profile and the Print Profile.
Getting a known good file (like the Adobe RGB or preferably the Whacked RGB PDI Photodisc-GettyImages RGB reference image) into Photoshop allows me to evaluate the monitor alongside the print to help me see where the problem is occurring...

Grid Preview image different colours to Develop module

I have just scanend a load of colour negatives with a Nikon Coolscan V and created NEF 6000 x 4000 pixels 14 bit 137Mb files and imprted into LR 3.6. When i look att hme in the develop modeule they look great and sky is good blue colour. When I look at then in the library they look more washed out and blues are more purple. I have never had this problem before with images taken on my camera so is this related to the preview quality for such a large image?
Thanks any advice Mike

Ah, now I see the rightside of that screenshot, with, as you say, sharpening 150 and NR 0. That's a combo it would never even occur to me to use, not in a hundred years...
Anyway, I tried this with an ISO 1250 shot, but couldn't see any differences anywhere. But maybe you need to go higher.
I've learned to never take anything for granted when reviewing LR forum posts. An ISO 1250 shot is probably too low with most DSLR cameras to see this issue. On my 5D MKII I could really only see the "lightening" between Develop and Library views with ISO 6400 raw images. It may also show up at lower ISO settings with images that are heavily underexposed (i.e. LR Exposure +1 and greater), and with smaller sensor cameras (1.6 crop, P&S).
Gianlu24, keep in mind that Adobe increased the Sharpening amount from '100' in LR3 to '150' in LR4 when using a high 'Masking' setting. For most normal images and Masking settings you should use a Sharpening amount below '100.' There are two basic types–Capture and Output sharpening, each adjusted using separate controls. In addition you can apply both Global and Local Capture Sharpening in LR. These three articles by Laura Shoe may be helpful:

See here for suggestions. Without any clues about your printer model, the application you are printing from or your operating systemI would say the issue is that you are running out of cyan ink.

Bridge CS3 shows different colour on previews when they are selected

LS,
Problem, all of a sudden: Bridge CS3 shows different colours on previews when they are clicked and selected. At first, they are ok, they look the same as they are on camera. When I click an image and select it, it looks like there's a colour profile being applied to it, making the colours dull, its also pulls back the contrast of the image. Can this be corrected in prefences or something? So that the previews are the same as non corrected raw processed files?
David

Oh, good grief… Sorry. I forgot you haven't updated yet. My bad.
In CS3 you'll find the Auto Tone adjustments in the Camera Raw preferences, and the use of high quality in Bridge preferences. You won't have all the options available in CS4.
If you are shooting raw, the upgrade to CS4 just to be able to use ACR 5.3 (and now 5.4) is a no-brainer. Well worth the money.
If you don't upgrade, you'll be leaving a lot of raw image quality on the table, as Jeff Schewe says. ACR 4.6 is light years behind 5.3 and 5.4.
In addition, Bridge 2.x (CS3) is easily the worst piece of software ever released by Adobe or any other major software developer. It should have been fixed for free by Adobe, but shamefully, it wasn't. I would not hesitate to call it an unusable, worthless piece of cr@p. Fortunately Bridge 3.x (CS4) is much better.
However, I repeat: What you are seeing is perfectly normal, expected behavior.

Design, Preview, and Browser Preview are different

I made a very simple desig. Master page header has logo and two rectangles: opacity 70% and white.
Why appearence in design, preview, and browser are different? Am I missing some settings?

Hi Lucky,
Muse preview is the closest approximation of how your site would look in different browsers. It is advisable to always preview the site in a browser before finalizing the design.

Missing Features in the new design preview

So today Microsoft officially unveiled the new design preview for Skype for Windows desktop that we have been able to test on a field trial basis or by manipulating the URL to download.
Apart from the new design, this new version also brings a change in philosophy regarding group conversations and a very impactful removal of features for them.
At first I want to talk about an issue that has been part of the mobile releases for a long time, the removal of names for group conversations. In the good old Skype world, every group conversation had two parts to display the members of a group and the context of conversation that was happening in them, the name and the topic. With the new design though, the option to name your groups is gone. This means that instead of showing a familiar, easy to remember and recognize name, the contact list now shows the topic, a often (maybe?) changing and not representing the members of said conversation, as the name.
My favorite example on why this is bad is the following: Let's say you have more than one group of friends (hey, it happens) on Skype to talk about different things. One is your football club and the others are the chess dudes. You obviously name those groups "The sports guys" and "The chess guys" for your own sanity and ease of use in identifying them in your list. Both groups often have a similar topic set, mostly the date of the next meeting.
Now, with the new design, you are left with two entries in your contact list, both conveniently named "Next meeting at 5pm". Now what? Which one is which? No way to know at a simple glance. You really have to open the group and look at the members list to really know.
As a person who has been using Skype for group conversations for years and years, this really grinds my gears and I have been trying to get the developers attentions in varius threads on this forums, for once in the Android section (http://community.skype.com/t5/Android/Wrong-behaviour-in-group-conversations/td-p/1968699) where this problem has existed for a looong time and over more private channels and app feedback.
Now the only time when you can change the name of a group is when you create it. While in a previous version of the design preview, the option was still called "Change name..." as it is in the Android version, the latest release now correctly shows "Change topic.." because that is what it does, good job! I'd still like to be able to change the name independently from the topic.
The next bug is minor and about group conversation pictures, in the new design, it's no longer possible to add pictures to the header of groups, they just don't show up when you add them also the existing ones don't show in the contact list.

I'd still like to be able to change the name independently from the topic.
As I can't edit, I need to mention that I was kinda wrong about that, it reverts to showing the topic instead of the name in the contact list after a while, maybe after it syncs? Anyway, it still does it wrong.

My background image isn't lining up between my design, preview, and web preview. HELP!

I'm new to using Muse and have spent the afternoon going through online tutorials etc. I understand the fundamentals of adding an image to use as a background, but when I upload the image, it lines up completely different in design, preview, and web preview screens. I've been playing around with different settings but I can't for the life of me figure how to make my preview and web preview look like my design page.
Below are design page, preview page, web preview.
I'm sure there is some fundamental piece I'm missing here as I can't seem to find any threads with the same question being posed. If I had hair, I'd be pulling it our right about now.

1) Resize your image in Photoshop to the maximum width you require for browser display (probably ~1600px, but certainly less than than 2560px) and use Save for Web to create a JPEG of it with the lowest JPEG quality rating you can stand (or your initial page load times will be slow) and import that back into Muse. (The most likely reason the Muse Preview is blank is that this image is too large, in terms of number of total number of pixels.)
2) In the Browser Fill panel in the Fitting options popup menu choose "Scale to Fill". Scale to fill will scale the image up proportionally such that none of the black background shows. If the aspect ratio of the browser window is different than the image, then a portion of the width or height of the image will be cropped. What portion is determined by how the image is aligned using the "Position:" control in the Browser Fill panel.
Because browser window sizes vary (since they're user resizable) the display of the image will be different than what is seen in Muse Design view. However, the letterboxing/pillarboxing effect in the screenshot you provided is due to the Fitting Option being set to "Scale to Fit" rather than "Scale to Fill".

Is there a way to make an anchor link display a different colour when selected? (active state)

I have a vertically scrolling site I am trying to set up, and it's all going well. Only problem is when you use the menu (widget or non-widget) to move to an anchor link, thus bringing in the next section, I can't get the link to diplay as a different colour.
This would be good for letting the user know what section is infront of them.
Is there a way to do this?
One other question: Is there a way to get an anchor link to display centrally in the middle of the page up and down. I can arrange it so it looks good in one browser window, but as soon as the user has more vertical space it seems to diplay a set distance from the top. I guess what I'm asking is can the anchor link define the center point instead of the top point?
Many thanks!

Hello,
Could you please elaborate what exactly you are referring to with "I can't get the link to diplay as a different colour"?
Regarding your second query, I am afraid it is not possible using Adobe Muse. However it can be a very nice feature request.
I would suggest you to post this as a feature request on our "Ideas for features in Adobe Muse" section of the forums : http://forums.adobe.com/community/muse/ideas

Multiple plots (different colours) on a single histogram?

I have a 2D array of data, and I would like to plot a histogram.
each row(with 8 elements) would be plotted in pairs, in 2 different colours.
My chart would have to look something like the attached image.
My vi is also attached. Right now it displays the plot (one row for now),but I have a few problems:
1) How to change the colour of each bar (to be like the excel graph)
2) how to change the bar plot label ( so instead numeric values 1,2,3,...I would like to have a,b,c,... under each bar)
3)and how to remove the (0,0) point on the graph, so you could see the first bar entirelyy, instead of partially.
I tried bundling the data , dynamic data, and a a bunch of other things but couldnt get it to work.
Thanks!!

You can create a histogram of each row by connecting the output of the General Histogram or Histogram VI's (in the Statistics Palette) to a Build Array. Connect the output of Build Array to a Histogram Graph. You can create a Histogram Graph by right clicking on the General Histogram or Histogram VI's Histogram Graph output terminal( Create>>Indicator). That should show you both histograms with different colors in one graph(they may be overlapping though, use the Bar Plots options to see what view is best). Unfortunately, I don't see how you could display it like the graph you posted, but you may create a button that controls a Histogram Graph by using Property Nodes. Right click on the Histogram Graph indicator in the Block Diagram(Create>>Property Node>>Plot>>Visible). If you connect a Boolean control to this property node and place that piece of code inside a while loop, you could turn your plots on and off. You can also create an Invoke Node(Right Click>>Create>>Invoke Node>>Export data to Excel) to Export data to Excel. Make sure you expand the Plot Legend on the upper right corner so you can see the second plot options.

Can you set different colours for invitees in calendar?

In calendar on the iphone/ipad can you set any events that you accept from invitees to a different colour so that you can instantly distinguish them from your own events?
Cheers

You could choose None in Preferences > General > New Mail Sound and set up a rule for each account in Preferences > Rules as follows:
If [any/all] of the following conditions are met:
[Account] [AccountName]
Perform the following actions:
[Play Sound] [Sound]
Problem is, that would cause the sound to be played for junk mail as well — probably not what you want.

Cover Flow preview in Finder fails to work

Hello,
I updated recently to OS X Mavericks, and since i updated there have been problems in the Preview (Cover Flow preview in Finder.
When i open a folder and scroll down items, sometime there are 10 images and in cover flow shows only half and the other half are like not previewing them as they don’t exist in the folder so when i click on list view then gives me just file names i can see full list and open all files big, but the Cover flow is failing to work and desplay preview images - not previewing the correct fles mix, image names, for example i click on file 1 and it shows file 2… when i delate an image from the folder it just keeps a ghost image there so you don’t know if its actually erased, but again when u open in list view mode its ok, or you constantly have to close and reopen the folder to refresh the view in cover flow, so 100% Cover Flow fails to work since the update.
can you tell me what is wrong?how can i fix it please as i really need this feature?
Thank you

Why are my identically coloured opaque images printing different colours? Is it a transparency issue

I have an object that is a plain white logo with a grey background - the file is a flattened psd file and has only the one layer.
when i place the logo into InDesign (CS5) onto a plain grey (the same colour as in the logo) background and print this simple combination, the grey background on the logo is a funny colour compared to that on the document background. they have the exact same RGB reference! they only appear different colours when printed; on screen they look great.
i thought that this was an issue with transparency and have tried playing around with having a transparent logo with no background and various transparancy flattener settings but nothings fixing the problem. the only thing that i managed to achieve was to make all of the grey one colour, but the funny coloured grey i was seeing just in the logo background!
when i go to window-output and check the flattener preview, i can see that i have no transparent objects whatsoever in my document.
any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated - its driving me MAD!
thanks,
becky

More to the point on this, I think, is that both RGB and CMYK values listed for any spot color are "best approximations" (many, perhaps most, spot colors have no good CMYK equivalent, and that would be true as well for some subset using RGB) using Pantone's unknown color space. Even in that space the probability of getting an actual match between the simulation and the true spot ink is close to zero. Using some other space makes things worse, and since there is no way to know the sapce in use at Pantone, you're kind of up the creek.
For CMYK converison you can do reasonably well by using the Ink manager to convert the spot to process and check the bok to Use Lab Values at the same time. For RGB, I have no idea how to come close, at all.
