Coverflow artwork comes out faded

I'd imagine there's at least a few other folks out there who put some time into making iTunes artwork better then what is automatically put in there. It's often even crooked & pock-marked !
I even vary the album-title so I can include back-covers and single-sleeves and such for individual tracks !
But over the last few versions of iTunes I've found that after I've photoshopped the image to get the best balance for colors and lighting and such, I pop it in there and I'm immediately disappointed to see it's once again displaying the image faded and lightened.
Anyone else noticing this and bugged ?

Check you have the correct settings and that “no color management” is not selected. Launch the Editor and go to:

Problems printing to Samsung M3870FW from MacBook Pro: Why is it coming out faded?

My MacBook Pro (OS X 10.6.8) is connected wirelessly to a Samsung Multifunction ProXpress M3870FW. It is a black-and-white laser printer, and when it prints, the document comes out faded grey and slightly pixelated instead of coming out sharp and black. I thought there was something wrong with the printer, but when Samsung laptops print to it, it comes out just fine. The same thing happens to me when I am connected via USB.
I thought it might be that my computer was set to some kind of "Toner-Saver" or "Fast Draft" setting, but it actually only has a "Standard" setting. There is no "Fast Draft" setting.
What is going on here?

When you contacted Samsung, what did they have to say?

Hi. I'm using illustrator cs6 on pc. I've made a scientific figure for a paper and now I'm trying to export as a png or save for microsoft office. Despite my figure being in the middle of my artboard, it always comes out bottom left in the png file or jpg

Hi. I'm using illustrator cs6 on pc. I've made a scientific figure for a paper and now I'm trying to export as a png or save for microsoft office. Despite my figure being in the middle of my artboard, it always comes out bottom left in the png file or jpg. Must be making a school boy error! Please help!

In similar cases, my solution is to "select all" then "deselect" only the artwork I want to keep and "delete". If I'm curious I may "cut" then "paste" to see what shows up in the center of the screen. it is usually some stray point. or other element out direct sight.

Change movie Coverflow artwork in latest iTunes?

In the latest iTunes, though I can change the movie poster to whatever frame I want by right-clicking on the movie as it plays and choosing Set Poster Frame, the picture that represents this movie in Coverflow does not change. The picture in iTunes' artwork box changes, but the Coverflow picture does not. Coverflow still shows the irrelevant frame grabbed by iTunes when the movie was added to the library. This wasn't the case with earlier versions of iTunes. Anyone figure out the way to change Coverflow artwork?

I have a similar issue, although slightly more extreme.
I recently had a hard drive crash, so I've had to rebuild my iTunes music library from a backup of the files. I've also upgraded to iTunes 8. I don't know which - if any - of these event was the root of the problem, but in my Movies tab, all my pre-hard disk crash movies have the same poster frame. If I delete any one of the movies, all the remaining files change to a random other poster frame - but they're still all the same. The exception is the Pixar short films I purchased from the iTunes Music Store. There are three of them, but all display the same poster.
If I add a completely new movie to iTunes, it appears to put in a poster frame as expected. If I delete all the originals and then re-import them, I get a different movie frame; but they're still all the same. The Pixar movies will all take the poster of the first one re-imported.
It feels like something is either corrupt, or iTunes 8 has an odd bug in it. Any ideas?

I have a 5x7 invitation I made in illustrator. I need to export it to a friend for her to print but everytime I export to jpeg it comes out as a 8x10. How do I send a high quality 5x7 image to someone?

I have a 5x7 invitation I made in illustrator. I need to export a high quality image it to a friend for her to print but everytime I export to jpeg it comes out way bigger than a 5x7. How do I send a specific size to someone? Do i need to use photoshop? Please help. Thanks!!

Elizabeth,
It sounds as if the Artboard is 8 x 10. It should fit the Artwork (at 5 x 7).

Photos come out real dark when printed on various printers

Im really unsure if this is an Indesign problem or not but most everything I do is created in InDesign along with Photoshop, Acrobat, and other Adobe products. Im just out of ideas on what the problems could be so thought I would take a crack at Adobe being the problem? I just dont know!
When I print things out on our high end Xerox color printer, things tend to come out more on the darker side. Its mostly noticable with photographs but it can also be seen in general solid colors also. I generally make the printer print 85% lighter from its settings and things will usually come out acceptable.
When I send files to out digital plate maker, usually as black/grayscale, the photographs will always come out real dark. For this, I have to over compensate by editing each photo individually so they no longer look normal on my screen, but overly faded just so it will look properly on our DPM.
This is something I have been dealing with for several years and though its basically a part of life now, I still cant stand it! All drivers, patches, and firmware is updated, printer color is calibrated, even paid techs to figure it out...nothing! For both our standard black and white printers, these files usually print out ok, all photos look just as good as they do on screen.
Well we just got a new large color plotter machine for printing large banners and signs. I dont operate it but the one who does seem to know his stuff. He said his program will only work with EPS files. I had created a press quality PDF from InDesign that I then converted to EPS as well as creating an EPS directly from InDesign. All files looked nice and bright on both my screen as well as his. On his first sample printout on the plotter, the images came out dark!!!!! Why???? We made new files where again, I overcompensated by fading the photos out bigtime to where they look horrible on screen but printed out mostly ok on the machine.
This cant be the normal way things are done, Is this an InDesign problem or what??? Any suggestions would be great because we are out of ideas!

I believe Xerox ships the EyeOne spectrohotometer. The companion software for that is Eye-One Match, which gets installed on your computer. I don't know if that's included. If it is, the software will lead you through adjusting the monitor and will then record a profile and associate it with the monitor. Adobe apps will use that profile to display color on screen. Each monitor needs to be profiled -- generic profiles shipped on the install disk for the monitor are useless in a color critical workflow, they match some hypothetical average monitor, or one that was pulled off the assembly line long before yours was built, and every monitor is unique in how it displays a give set of color numbers.
There should be some icc profiles on the support disks for the printers. These are the output profiles you need to target in ID, or you need to output as a standard RGB profile like Adobe RGB and let the RIP do the conversion internally to the Xerox color space.
This is a pretty complex thing to explain in detail here. You should read the Color Management section of the help files, any documentation that came with the Fiery, and I highly recommend Real World Color Management by Olav Kvern and David Blatner which is easy to read without a lot of technical jargon, and clearly explains both the theory and practice of color management in the real world (though it's now a few years old).

IP = Intellectual Property.
You want to take the artwork from Pages, which you haven't paid for, into a competing product?

I need help getting sound to come out of my TV when using HDMI. Any solutions?

I'm able to pull up my picture when connecting my HDMI cable to my Macbook pro...however I can't get the sound to come out of my Toshiba TV. When I go under system preferences, then sound and select my Toshiba TV as an option. It says it has no output controls. I fiddled with my sound setting in my TV and stil no luck. Does anyone know any solutions for this problem. Help is greatly appreciated.

Hey jbarwins
Check to make sure that you are up to date on your computer. Another recommendation would be to try a different cable and also reset the NVRAM on your computer.

Monitor does not come out of sleep Mac-Mini Mini-DVI to Dual DVI-D cable

I have an August 2009 Mac-Mini that I'm using with an Apple supplied Mini-DVI to DVI adapter along with a DVI-D Dual Link Cable connect to a Sceptre X7XV-Naga+ LCD monitor.
The monitor is going into sleep mode on its own with no way to disable this feature on the monitor itself. I've disabled sleep mode on the Mac-Mini in the power setting in System Preferences.
When in sleep mode and I move the mouse or press a key, the monitor will not come out of sleep mode. From other posts, I read that the issue might be that I wasn't using a Dual-Link DVI-D cable, so I bought one and installed such a cable. That has not resolved the problem. The monitor will not come out of sleep mode. When I have the monitor connected with a mini-display port to VGA adapter instead of a DVI-D cable, it will come out of sleep mode every time.

I know it's a year later, but I'm not finding much through search.
I have the same exact problem. Difference being I'm using an iMac with 10.7.5.
Same video board and monitor - ATI Radeon HD 6750M video card connected via DisplayPort to Samsing S24A850DW.
I've tried two different mini-DisplayPort to DisplayPort cables and no change.
I think I read that 10.8.3 might fix the issue. Anyone that can confirm that, or has another solution?

I export from final cut pro 7 to idvd everything comes out fuzzy on the dvd

I film using a canon fs10. I edit in final cut pro 7, then export to quicktime format, then I burn the dvd using idvd. But the final product always comes out blurry and fuzzy. I can't see what I am doing wrong. Is it because I am not filming in HD?

Using iMovie, for one, is capturing your files to a codec other than one FCP wants to work with. You would be better off dragging and dropping the files from the camera to a folder on an external drive and converting the footage with MPEG Streamclip to whatever codec you want to work in.
Using iDVD to compress and author the dvd takes away any control you have over the compression settings for the project.
You'd be well off getting a FCP training book from someplace like Peachpit Press, or a training dvd from someone here or out there who produces them.
