CS4 and IPS monitor???

I came to realize that my old basic LCD monitor was making my results in CS4 really bad.  Last night I received my Dell 2410U IPS LCD monitor and I am floored!  What a difference.  I set it up DVI and went to Adobe RGB, and now I need to wear sun glasses to view the monitor ;-)  Anyway, when I open RAW (also using Adobe RGB) everything has a yellow tint.  After altering my photo as best I can with this yellow tint, SAVE, then CLOSE I go to reopen the new JPEG photo and it is better than I could have imagined!
My question is, Is the yellow tint in RAW normal?  Is there a way to remove this tint?  It makes it hard to determine what needs to be done with this tint.  Oh, after I am done in RAW, but before I close, while in CS4 (finally tweaking) the yellow tint stays present...only after I SAVE/.jpeg/CLOSE, then reopen does the yellow tint go away.
Any HELP is appreciated.

Russell, I agree. I talked to Adobe Thursday and came up with a reasonable alternative, though.
The image will always snap open inside the application "frame," and at the upper left, whether tabbed or not. So here's what I was able to do (my calibrated monitor for my image is on the right, the monitor on the left is not where I want my image for editing):
I put my CS4 application window on the right monitor. All of my palettes are docked on my left monitor and they show up immediately there when opening CS4. So on monitor right, I have the menus at the top, my tools palette, and my image(s). On monitor left I have palettes only; my histogram, layers palette, actions palette, character palette, and so on. They are "floating" over my desktop or whatever application I have open, like my web browser or email. This is an adjustment I'm still getting accustomed to, but works great and is even more convenient in some ways because my commands (file, edit, etc.) are directly above my image yet do not really steal from the image real estate.
I had always thought the palettes needed to stay inside the application "frame". I did not realize they would sit alone on my left monitor and default to that monitor upon opening CS4 even though CS4 itself is on the right monitor.
Hope this explanation makes sense.
Two "quirks":
- if you don't use tabbed mode, maximizing your image to fit the screen totally overlays the file menu, etc. at the top of the CS4 application. Weird and a bummer! I'm ok working in tabbed mode 99% of the time, though, so not a huge deal. But why they did this is not intuitive to me.
- for the setup that I described above to work, I think I finally decided you need to turn off "Enable Floating Document Window Docking" in preferences. I went through so many combinations of these settings that I can't remember for sure, but I think this is the case. Everything is working great for me, and this function is turned off (not 100% sure whether it matters, though).

  • Photoshop cs4 and multiple monitors

    When i save a document as a jpg on one monitor and then drag the photoshop window to the other monitor and save it the same way, they turn out differently! Whats going on?

    "On the Mac, the Application frame groups all the workspace elements in a single, integrated window that lets you treat the application as a single unit. When you move or resize the Application frame or any of its elements, all the elements within it respond to each other so none overlap. Panels dont disappear when you switch applications or when you accidentally click out of the application. If you work with two or more applications, you can position each application side by side on the screen or on multiple monitors. If you prefer the traditional, free-form user interface of the Mac, you can turn off the Application frame. In Adobe Illustrator®, for example, select Window > Application Frame to toggle it on or off." - Adobe Help "Using Photoshop CS4"
    Once you have done that, move the whole block of the Application frame to the Display Tablet. You can then toggle between the monitor 1 and tablet monitor by switching on/off Application frame..

    Good night,
    I bought a LG IPS Monitor 23 inch 23EA53 and connect it with an HDMI monitor spanning works, but with a slight drizzle white and red on the screen, also tested it with an adapter Mini Display Port to DVI, but this unfortunately also this with errors ... after a while it clears hers Monitor LG, what is happening with my Macbook Pro?

    Hi mwc6zp,
    I have come across exactly the same issue.  Same monitor, same laptop model and year, same everything.  The only way I can get it to work is by using the standard HDMI input to the laptop. 
    Were you ever able to work around this? 

  • Vista 64 bit and CS4 and color management

    This is a question about Vista 64 bit and CS4 and color management. I scan 4x5 film and sometimes end up with up to or even bigger than 1 GB files. Obviously that needs as much memory as possible. Windows XP is limited in this regard and I am in the market for a new speedy computer which won't force me to stay at a snail's pace. In this month's Shutterbug, David Brooks in his Q&A column says to avoid Vista for color management reasons, but offers no explanation or support for his opinion. He implies one should wait for Windows 7 for some unstated reason. With a calibrated monitor and printer and Photoshop controlling color files sent to the printer, why would Vista be any different or worse than XP? Is he on to something or just pontificating? Does anyone know any reliable info about Windows 7 that would make it worth waiting for?
    Thanks.

    Photoshop has direct access to max 3.2gb
    On Mac OS X, PS CS4 can use up to 8 GB of RAM, but only directly accesses up to 3.5 GB. (Figures quoted from kb404440.) In using PS CS4 on Mac OS, though, direct Memory Usage maxes out at 3 GB even. If you set usage to 100% (3 GB), then plug-ins (including Camera Raw and filters), as well as actions and scripts, can access RAM above that 3 GB to between about 512 MB and about 768 MB total (seems to vary depending on which filters et al that you are using), leaving the rest up to 4 GB for the Mac OS. If you have more than 4 GB, then the amount of RAM above 4 GB is used by PS as a scratch disk. This increases performance significantly for most things because writing to and reading from the hard drive is much slower than doing so with RAM.
    I haven't done the testing for actual RAM usage and such for PS CS4 on Vista 64, and Adobe's documentation is very much lacking in detail, but, based on the statement "If you use files large enough to need more than 4 GB of RAM, and you have enough RAM, all the processing you perform on your large images can be done in RAM, instead of swapping out to the hard disk." from kb404439, it seems that PS would be using RAM in very much the same way as I described above for Mac OS, except that the scratch disk usage in RAM wouldn't be limited to 8 GB (instead to how much you have installed). Has anyone done any performance/load testing to know for sure? I didn't see any such studies published, but I am curious if one has been done.
    I will agree that there is a definite performance advantage when using PS CS4 (64-bit) on Vista 64, which I've experienced, especially when working very large compositions.
    My initial recommendation to the OP to use Mac was based upon reading those articles about bad color management. As I stated before, I have never experienced that problem, and clearly the views of all that have posted here so far indicate that the problem may not be a real issue. (Perhaps this David Brooks fellow and Steve Upton both like to mess with their computers and broke something in Windows?)

  • Fontproblems and fontcaches in Illustrator CS4 and CS5

    Hello all,
    I've been having a serious and severe problem using Ilustrator and fonts.
    As this is a very complex problem to explain, I'll try to make it easy to understand.
    First I'll tell you the specifications and software used:
    Imac 27 inch running  MAC OS X 10.6.7 with follow software:
    Illustrator CS4 + Illustrator CS5, both installed
    Fontreserve (running a central server and macs connect through a MAC-client) http://www.extensis.com/en/support/font-reserve.jsp
    So we use an external third party fontsoftware to manage and activate our fonts used in Illustrator.
    We only have the required system fonts installed on our systems.
    We recently ran in a big issue concerning fonts within Illustrator.
    I'll try to explain what the problem really is ...
    So normally we boot up Illustrator and we activate our fonts in fontreserve.
    The fonts get loaded in Illustrator. So that does work like it should.
    But the problem begins when we deactivate fonts.
    Font reserve does deactivate them and in Illustrator the deactivated fonts are gone or so it seems ...
    After a restart, I only start Illustrator. So our client fontreserve stays closed.
    I opened the job I worked on before the restart and Illustrator opens the document and loads the fonts.
    You read it right, Illustrator does find all the fonts which, before the restart, were deactivated.
    Where does he gets those fonts?
    So I started to investigate and tried a couple of things.
    1) I physically moved the fontreserve-plugin out Illustrator so it will not be loaded on startup.
    That didn't fix it because Illustrator still finds the fonts.
    2) I physically plugged out the network cable to be sure Illustrator could not contact our fontserver.
    Sadly he still did find the fonts.
    3) I used "Tweak Freak" to clear my fontcaches. I also searched for "AdobeFnt" to clean out the cache from Adobe itself.
    This did not work either.
    4) I tried opening the document again but this time in CS5. And guess what? Illustrator CS5 asks for all the fonts that are missing, which is correct because not one font has been activated.
    Strangly enough I decided to reopen Illustrator CS4 (Illustrator CS5 still beiing open as well), and suddenly Illustrator CS4 asks for the fonts too?
    A minute ago he still found all the fonts and after opening Illustrator CS5, it does not ...
    So Adobe what is the connection between Illustrator CS4 and CS5?
    And where does Illustrator store its fontcache?
    It would be nice to run a script on shutdown te delete all possible fontcaches.
    So after spending a couple of hours fixing this problem, it seems that I still don't quite understand where the problem lies.
    I'm hoping you can.
    As this is an urgent matter, I hope to get an answer or support as soon as possible.
    Thanks in advance.

    You should be able to see what files Adobe Illustrator has open by using the Activity Monitor.app application.
    To do so, open the Activity Monitor application (it's in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder). Locate Adobe Illustrator in the list and then double-click on it. This should open up a new window like shown in the image below:
    Switch to the Open Files and Ports tab, and it should list every open file that Illustrator is using.

  • [SOLVED] IPS Monitor Resolution Not Detected

    I just got one of the new Catleap 27" IPS monitors. It works fine in Windows at its native 2560x1440 but arch doesn't seem to be detecting it properly

    DP-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
    DVI-I-3 is my second monitor (a regular LCD) which works fine. I think DVI-I-2 is the Catleap. Oddly, the manual says it supports 800x600 but it won't even turn on when X is started. Also it works fine when X isn't started. Whenever I switch to a different TTY my second monitor turns off and the Catleap turns on (albeit at a low resolution).
    I've tried adding a new resolution mode with xrandr, but that gives me an error
    # xrandr --newmode "2560x1440_60.00" 312.25 2560 2752 3024 3488 1440 1443 1448 1493 -hsync +vsync

    Current serial number in output stream: 38
    I've tried various xorg.conf settings and using nvidia-settings, but nothing I do can get it to use a higher resolution or even turn on for that matter. I'm not sure if my dual monitor setup could be screwing with it. I've tried disconnecting my second monitor but that doesn't seem to help.
    I found this article, which says that the Catleap's EDID isn't in Linux by default so you can specify it manually. So I set up my xorg.conf.d directory as follows

    Which doesn't work. The Catleap still won't turn on and the mouse position is all screwed up on my Acer. If I comment out the screen 1 line in the ServerLayout, the Acer works fine on its own.

  • Can I take a frame from my project and use it as a custom menu background with CS4 and its Encore

    My project is edited in CS4.
    I moved it to Encore CS4.
    I don't want to use any of the supplied menu templates in CS4 Encore.
    I was hoping CS4 would be all I needed to create custom menus using scenes from my project.
    My question is: Can I take a frame from my project and use it as a custom menu background with CS4 and its built in Encore or do I need some other element from the Adobe catalog to make these custom chapter menus and sub-menus?
    Thanks Jim

    OK, I'm back. Here are my steps for creating Custom Menus with PS, En and PrPro:
    In PrPro, move the CTI (Current Time Indicator) to the desired Frame. Check Frames on either side, with the Program Monitor’s Magnification to 100%, or maybe even 200% (you’ll need to scroll, but get a really clear picture). You want the clearest Frame in that area. With AME, in CS4, you’ll want to Export that Frame as .TIFF, or .BMP. I use .TIFF for this.
    Now, for a caveat. When you Import this Exported Frame into Photoshop, be sure to check the specs., especially the PAR. You may have to use Image>PAR to adjust this to match your Project’s specs. Or, all might be perfect - just check this out.
    Now, at this point, I choose the Library Menu, Blank, so that everything is setup. One can create the Menu from scratch, but careful attention needs to be paid to the exact naming conventions. At the very least, unless you’ve done this dozens of times before, use that Blank Menu, or similar as a guide, so you get things done, as they must be done.
    Using that Blank Menu, just drag the Layer from your Exported Frame to your Menu image. It will appear above the black Background.
    Add, or manipulate your Button Layer Sets, as is required, keeping them together. Remember that Button #1 will be the Button Layer Set, that is lower down in the Layers Palette. This can play a roll with Button Routing, back in Encore. Lower Button Layer Sets will have lower Button numbers.
    Now, I always rename my Button Layer Sets, keeping the required characters - just changing the name. I also do all of my Button text in PS, and make sure to turn OFF Sync Button Names.
    When done, Save_As .PSD, and then Import_As_Menu into Encore. Note: if you start with the Blank Menu, you can choose Edit in Photoshop, and then when done in PS, you just need to Save, and it will update in Encore. This is a personal workflow choice. I do the Edit in Photoshop route, but it is not necessary. One just needs to Import the resulting .PSD into Encore with Import_As_Menu, so that Encore does all the things that it needs to and recognizes the .PSD as a Menu.
    When deciding what to base your Menu on, remember that you can "populate" your Menu with Buttons from the Functional Content. I’d suggest studying these Assets, and picking the ones that work best for you. You can still alter/edit those back in PS, so you just need to "get close."
    Pay special attention to the required naming conventions. You cannot deviate from those first characters in the Button Layer Sets. They MUST be followed.
    If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • CS4 with two monitors

    I am using 2 monitors with CS4. One monitor is a "tools" monitor, and the other is a color calibrated monitor for retouching my images full screen, with no palettes interfering. When I open an image, it always opens behind my tool palettes on the tools monitor. This is a major pain! I've saved a custom workspace to no avail. On CS3, whenever I opened a new document, it opened onto my retouch monitor... every time!
    Does anybody know how to fix this problem?

    Known issue.  The workaround is to designate the other monitor as your Main monitor in System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement.
    Your menu bar will move to your Main monitor and your Ps dcuments will open there too.
    No fixes or changes by Adobe are expected for now, we've been told.

  • Yamakasi Catleap 2703 display?  (inexpensive huge IPS monitor - but is it compatible?

    Anyone used a Yamakasi Catleap 2703 IPS display with their mac?  It looks like a great value in the 2560x1600 27" size ($325) but on EBay they state they are not Mac compatible for some reason.  It requires a dual dvi d connection, but I would suspect the mini displayport to dual link dvi adapter would work(  http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB571Z/A/mini-displayport-to-dual-link-dvi-ada pter)

    Never heard of it. When I Googled, my top hits were from eBay. If you're looking for a really good IPS monitor that is Mac compatible (and I think it very telling that the ad states that the monitor is not Mac compatible), Amaxon has the 24" Dell UltraSharp U2412M at a good price. Definitely not a 27", but a very good IPS monitor at a very good price.

  • S-ips monitor - is it preferred ?

    I will be purchasing a new monitor. I have recently been informed of ips monitors. I do mostly video and photo edting , in Premiere and Photoshop. I don't know if the ips type monitors will be best for my use. I am considering a Dell ultra sharp model 2411 or 2412 and a HP zr 24 , both are 24 inch .Or would I be better off with a 27 inch " regular" type monitor.
    Cost will be around 340 dollars for either situation . I currently use a hp 22 inch monitor and will be getting a new computer optimized for video editing . Whatever monitor I get it must be height adjustable . Thanks , Ray

    Be aware that there are different flavours of IPS, although all are still better than TN.  See a recent review of the Dell 2412 on Tom's Hardware http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/s242hl-bid-u2412m-t24a550,3016.html

  • 25bw IPS monitor

    Never again will I buy a HP monitor. 2 1/2 months after the warranty expires, a red line appears on the right side of the screen going straight down. Called up the tech support and they try to sell me the same one for "a reasonable price". Why would I buy the same monitor that malfunctions a couple months after the warranty is gone. No thank you. I've had my IPS monitor for over 2 years, not a dang thing wrong with it. Of course I upgraded to an ASUS IPS 27"...which I'm now forced to use because I refuse to use a defected monitor...but yeah.

  • Source and Preview Monitors are Jittery

    I've been getting some really bad screen flicker in my preview and source monitors in Premiere CS4. It feels like a frame rate or frame conversion issue, since it seems to flicker between frames (kind of back and forth, like it can't decide which frame it should be on). This has never been an issue for me before, either with CS3, or the project I just finished with in CS4.
    All the footage is HVX200 MXF files shot at 720p (anamorphic) and 23.976 fps. The project settings match the footage exactly (CS4 has a default profile for this footage). This was not a problem a week ago with another project I was working on that had all the same settings and was shot with the exact same camera at the exact same settings (as far as I know).
    When I export, the problem no longer exists and the footage looks amazing, but for some reason just the in-software monitors are causing it.
    I am running Windows XP SP3, with an ATI Radeon 4830 graphics card.

    I need to make a slight correction. The flicker is, in fact, there in the previous CS4 project that I mentioned. I just didn't notice it as much since there was far less movement in it.

  • Photoshop CS4 and Firefox 3.6

    It seems like my Photoshop CS4 and Firefox 3.6 are clashing if I run both programs at the same time. Am I the only one having this problem?

    I'm usually running PS (CS4), Dreamweaver (CS4), Flash (CS4), and Firefox (3.6.2) all at once most of the day. I've got a MacBook Pro 13" with 2.26gHz Core Duo, 4Gb of RAM and I'm running a 23" HD monitor as my primary desktop with the MacBook display as the secondary. The only time I have any issues is when I'm doing all that and I open Windows 7 in VMWare & it sucks up all the processor it can get just to run.
    By "clashing" what do you mean?
    Are you unable to switch between the two?
    Is your system slowing down with both open?3
