CS4 Monitor/Display Setting

I had a 5 x 7 postcard designed in InDesign & when I viewed it in InDesign or even Acrobat, it looked fine.
But when I printed it out, the photo is actually stretched up & down. It didn't make sense to me but when I looked closely on the InDesign rulers, I could see that the horizontal inches were bigger than the vertical inches, giving me a false view. When I measured it on my monitor screen using a hand-held ruler, the actual dimensions were 5 x 9.
Now I have to start over again but how do I ensure that my units of measurement are true on my monitor? I use a widescreen 21" Acer monitor. Is there a setting in InDesign that I can change, or do I need to change my monitor Settings? And to what?
It's the same for Acrobat.
Thanks.
Rainer

It sounds like either the resolution you selected doesn't match the shape of the monitor, or you've adjusted the horizontal or vertical size in the monitor controls.
One trick I used to use see if the monitor is close to the same both directions is to use the regtangle or ellips tool and hold the Shift key while drawing. That shoud give you a perfect square or a perfect circle, both relatively easy to judge by eye.

HT3924 Can I set up more than one monitor/displays to my Macbook Pro?

Can I set up more than one monitor/displays to my Macbook Pro?

OSX Maveric 10.9.1. I have a 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7 with 8GB memory. I like the new things I can do with maveric. I have conected only one external monitor through the thinderbol conecting cable to VGA or HDMI. I would like to conect 2 monitors and still use the laptop display ( total of three monitors). Can I do that?

How can I open PDF's in my favorite display-setting?

I am using Acrobat Pro.
I would like all PDF's to open in Single Page Continuous and 100% Zoom.
Under 'Preferences' and 'Page Display', I have already put these settings the way I want. Under 'Accessibility', I have also put the 'Override' settings this same way. However, PDF's still open with random page displays and I have no control over it.
What can I do? And why did the previous 2 ( ! ) steps not work?

Actually, the application is doing exactly what you have told it to do.
Single page continuous directs Acrobat / Adobe Reader to "Fill the window with each page and scroll through pages continuously".
So the page zoom is "fill the window" with the "window" being the active window of Acrobat / Adobe Reader.
The percent page zoom is going to be a function of the size (on one's screen) of the application's active window.
A maximized active window will have a different percentage than an active window resized to something less than maximized.
And of course there is the variable of the screen (tablet, netbook, laptop, desktop stand alone monitor (which in turn can be one of many different sizes).
As well there are the variations you'll see as you play with changes to the monitor display resolution. Neat stuff but straying OT.
Well, anyhow, the "fit the window" of single page continuous will "override" any separate setting for "page zoom".
Got what you asked for; just not what you expected - sorry 'bout that.
Be well...

Monitoring/Alerting Set up options in SM - System Monitoring

Comrades
When configuring Solution monitoring in SM 4.0 for our lanscape the customised CCMS monitor set (created in RZ20 of Target Sysem) needs to be imported during set-up system monitoring process
1.Is it possible to import the customised CCMS context in solution monitoring during set up?
2.In the current system monitoring configuration certain DB related monitors are not visible (displayed) though they are configured properly is something to be done ?
Also looking on the following alerting options E-mail,SMS and SNMP Traps from the SM 4.0.My understanding is E-mail and SMS are based on Central autoreaction methods on the Alert Monitor.
3.Is it possible to configure E-mail and SMS without CCMS Agents on Target Systems ? and Is there a way of configuring E-mail and SMS other than Central Auto Reaction Methods ?
4.Are there any prerequistes (Agents, Software, packages ) for configuring SNMP Traps from SM ?
I have done some reading and searching on these points and pretty unclear on these aspects.Kindly share your knowledge on this area.
Kindly Respond
Many a Thanks

I managed to set up an account manually on the C7 but I had to trick the email application by entering an invalid email address and password. After it could not find my account it then opened up all the settings and permitted me to add the manual IMAP settings, reply to address and other details. After I committed the settings, the phone recognised the account as a gmail account and it locked down all the settings again so I could not go back and change them if wrong.
I was quite chuffed with myself for seemingly resolving all my issues.....but on using the new account settings I could not sync the gmail sent / bin folders. All the other folders synchronised fine and when I send email it has the correct reply to address. Strangely this matches the best results I obtained when connecting using the Mail for Exchange settings so am no further forward. I am a little confused by this as when I let the phone set up the Gmail account on it's own it can sync everything.....but I just can't
I am now hoping that the new software update (PR1.2) gets email working a little better....well when I eventually get it hehe.

CMYK images: strange monitor display & and printing

I tried the way Pages 2 handles CMYK images today and found out some strange things.
My problem: monitor display
CMYK .jpg files are displayed inverted on screen like a negative - black is white and white is black. Layouting basicly rendered useless. Is there a work arround ?
Solved: Printing
For printing there are at least two ways to get a decent result. Here my findings:
- Any color printers
"Print - ColorSync - Color Conversion" set to "Standard" => CMYK images get converted to RGB
"Print - ColorSync - Color Conversion" set to "Printer specific" => CMYK images stay in CMYK if printer is able to print CMYK
- use "Save to PDF" within printing dialog
Same as above, profiles tagged to images stay correct
- Adobe Acrobat Distiller
Same as above, but PDF looses recognizeable profile information. PDF workflow software does not recognize "SWOP" or "ISOcoated" by name but has "Embedded Adobe Postscript CRD Profile" instead which will create problems in workflow processing.
- Exporting "File - Export - PDF"
Profiles stay intact and are handled correctly.

Thanks Noel for the reply. Hopefully this will help.
This is how the file should look like.

[High level of difficulty] how to change the monitor display in the space of a full screen application

Hello everybody,
I have an application which when opening creates a personal space (I can get back to the desktop with F3).
But this application changes the display of my monitor : it sets "Adobe RGB 1998" (very painful)
The problem is : totaly impossible to change display monitor when i'm in the personnal space of the application.
How to open the monitor control panel when I'm in that space?
If i do F3 to come back on my desktop, the color of my display monitor return to LCD color, it's nice. However it's impossible to keep the LCD display when i come back on the application : "Adobe RGB 1998" comes automatically

Sounds like the application is the problem. What application is it?

Reader 10.1 issues - with 150% Display setting

I've waited a long time for the latest version of Reader (10.1.0.534) which came out yesterday. I keenly updated to it today and went testing (with my fingers crossed), only to find that it still doesn't fix the issues I'm encountering with my PCs Display set to 150% (Win 7 SP1 x64) - all the issues are all still there.
Firstly - when using under the latest IE9 I've noticed the following:
The top toolbar won't work and clicking on any button has no effect
The bottom (floating) toolbar is similarly ineffective
Somehow after I found 2 above, I've managed to loose the bottom floating toolbar altogether (and alt-F8 or F8 wont bring it back - not that its vital)
Right Clicking on the screen brings up an option panel away from the mouse
When used as a standalone app (again at 150% Display setting in Win 7) I've noticed:
The illumination of the Close, Maximise and Minimise buttons when the mouse is rolled over them is irregular and if the mouse becomes stationary on any of those buttons, the illumination goes.
Setting Display to 100% (or even 125% from provisional testing) seems to elliminate these bugs but is Adobe going to buy me some binoculars so I can see the tiny buttons and fonts on my HTPC screen from 6' away...
In this day and age of Windows coming with a perfectly capable Media Centre interface, many users of HTPCs have them set up with high resolution monitors (or TVs as the monitor) and leaving the display set to 100% is no good for regular PC functions (such as web browsing or pdf reading).
Please fix this Adobe. I've already applied to be a pre-release tester (and my application hasn't been picked up/followed up). I just feel I'm getting my moneys worth out of this product!

Hi..
Try removing a plugin...
Quit Safari.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Move the Adobe PDF Browser plugin (or just PDF Browser plugin) from the Internet Plug-Ins folder to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari to test.

Source monitor displays a different size to Program monitor in CC2014

I have imported a clip and the source monitor displays a different size in the program monitor?
Thanks Chris

It looks like your sequence is set up for the wrong size. Select a video file and right click 'New Sequence from Clip' see if that helps. I see that your video material is HD did you set up the sequence to match the earlier stills? that might be bigger than HD? If that is the case make a sequence the size for the video and use 'scale to frame size' for the stills.

NX6200TC primary display set as TV

I have a NX6200TC connected to a (PAL) TV and Philips 17" monitor. From time to time I neglect to switch on my Philips monitor before powering on my Windows XP PC. The system them sets the primary monitor as the TV and does not detect the Philips.
To reset this back is not easy as restarting the PC does not help. The current display drivers are Version 8.4.2.1
Does anyone have a easy way to reset the display setting so the the primary monitor is again the Philips or are there any other solutions to this problem?

Hi Richard
I have installed version 9.1.3.1 of the the ForceWare Drivers. I now have a new problem.
When Playing a video to my Pal/I Standard TV, overlay set to Full screen on the TV, the picture on the TV appears like a letterbox. Normal viewing of the of information on the computer screen is mirrored to the TV correctly.
Do you have any idea how to resolve this?

Secondary monitor displays with colorshift

secondary monitor displays with colorshift in LR4.1rc2. this is on windows 7/64.
Both my monitors i have are calibrated with spyder3, one is hardwarecalibrated eizo CG243, the other a HP2475 calibrated with spyder4 elite software.
Colorshift shows same characteristics when i switch LR app window with secondary window.
IT looks as if sRGB profile is applied to the secondary preview, because of the strong/overly saturated colors.
It seems to me a softwarebug, which makes secondary display inusable.
How is color management supposed to work in LR4?

It works fine with me (LR4.1 RC2, but previously used RC1, LR4.0, LR3.6... all worked the same).
I have a wide-gamut HP LP2475w (approx Adobe RGB gamut) and a Samsung193P (approx sRGB). Both calibrated/profiled with Color Munki Display, but I've previously used Eye One and Spyder units. After calibration/profiling, LR main and secondary display look the same in both Loupe and Develop view, and no matter which is LR's primary display. (Obviously, colours outside sRGB gamut don't look the same!)
I've just checked, and it still seems to be the case on my set up (W7 64-bit).
I can't think what the problem might be. I guess you've checked in Control Panel / Color Management that the correct profiles are assigned to each monitor. And I guess that you've got a video card with dual LUTs that allows separate calibration (mind you, I've never come across any cards that don't have separate LUTs, but apparently there are some).
PS - Web view might be different, as I think LR uses IE for rendering in web view only, and IE doesn't colour-manage properly.

Monitor display problem.

Hello everyone,
I am having trouble figuring out how fit my desktop size to the size of my monitor.
Indeed, I have my MBP (Nvidia 9600GT) plugged to a 27" monitor (1080p resolution).
The problem is the "real desktop", the one I see on my original screen on my MBP, doesn't show up entirely.
Either the top menu bar is SLIGHTLY cut, or the bottom dock.
I output the display in 1920x1080, even though the samsung monitor stays in 1650x1050 for some reason.
A little help would be much appreciated!
Paul.

are you trying to mirror the display (show same things between two different monitors), or are you showing different contents on each, and having problems setting the resolution just on your MBP?
I think we need a bit more information on your setup. also what is your MBP display size?
If have the monitor set to be independent of eachother (expanded desktop) you set the MBP display resolution to its native resolution, while setting the samsung monitor to its native resolution, it should automatically set the desktop menubar on the primary display correctly... If you have it so that each display mirrors eachother (whatever is shown on one screens shows up exactly the same on the other), then it is possible depending on which monitor is set as primary monitor, that can mess with the resolution display on the secondary monitor.

Monitor displaying at 150%

Not sure where to post this, but monitors seems like the right spot.
I have a Samsung LCD monitor connected to my powermac G4. I was trying to adjust the view setting on a game I was playing and it reset the whole monitor settings. Don't recall just what did it, but was pushing control + / -; alt key with + - and those keys with "0" key too. It didn't change the game, but did wack out my display settings.
The display is now at around 150+ %. I move my mouse around and it seems to float and shift the display so I can view what's off to the side.
So my question -- how do I get back to 100%?
System preferences display setting is at 1280 x 1024, colors millions, 75 hertz refresh rate.
Not sure what else to check. Thanks for your assistance!

Adobe Photoshop CC, problem with color noise/pixelation on the monitor display

After downloading Adobe Photoshop CC, my images come in with color noise/pixelation on the monitor display. I've tried checking the color space preferences, but this doesn't help. I didn't have this problem before. Is there anything else I can check? There's no problem with LR, just Photoshop.

My performance settings are: Available RAM 10905 MB/using 7633 MG (70 percent); cache levels 4, history 20, cache tile size 1024K. However, I noticed under Graphics processer settings, it is set on Advanced Drawing Mode - perhaps this should be changed to Normal or Basic Mode? Your help is very much appreciated.

W530 Dual monitor display

Is it possible to set the graphics card for the laptop display to use the nvidia Quadro instead of the Intel integrated chip?
Right, now the resolution for the laptop screen is at 1920x1080
and the resolution for the external monitor is 1600x900 (native)
The external monitor display is fine, but the laptop display is shrunken and there are huge black bars on all four sides.
Solved!

BIOS setup -> config -> Display -> Graphics device -> discrete graphics.
And I also set "OS detection for nVidia Optimus" to DISABLE (from default of ENABLE).

This guarantees using only Quadro graphics, for both internal laptop screen (if you want to use it) and external monitor (if connected).
If you really want to use BOTH laptop LCD screen as well as external monitor (simultaneously, in "extended desktop mode") then in nVidia Control Panel you must activate both monitors in the "set up multiple displays" dialog.
Link to picture
I have my external 1920x1200 monitor connected using the DP connector from my K1000M on my W530, and the laptop screen is 1920x1080. As you can see from the above, each screen is independent and can be set at whatever resolution you want ("native" or otherwise). I have no black bars anywhere when both monitors are enabled and active. Each monitor runs full-screen in its own unique "native" resolution (set through nVidia Control Panel's "change resolution" dialog), as the above graphic implies and as we want.
And of course, you also need to have Windows desktop display properties (right-click on desktop, select "screen resolution") configured for "extend mode".
I do not use the VGA connector. I use the DP connector, and "discrete graphics" in the BIOS, with "nVidia Optimus" disabled in the BIOS. I'm also running native nVidia 332.50 retail drivers, downloaded from nVidia site (not Lenovo Optimus driver).
NOTE: I normally do NOT run with both external monitor and lapsop LCD screen both enabled, in "extended desktop" mode. Instead I only have ONE monitor enabled with nVidia Control Panel. I see no point in using a tiny 15" laptop screen at 1920x1080 along with a 24" external monitor at 1920x1200. One or the other is fine, depending on the situation.
Then, in this single monitor mode, if the external monitor is connected and powered on Windows comes up using the external monitor (and not the laptop screen) at its native 1920x1200. If the external monitor is disconnected or powered off, Windows comes up using just the laptop screen at its native 1920x1080.
No internal Intel HD graphics used at all. This is all using nVidia K1000M exclusively with external monitor connected via DP connector, one monitor or two (in extended desktop mode or even "clone/duplicate" mode if I wanted).
For me this is perfect.

Photoshop CS6 work window too tall for monitor display

On a MacBook Pro 15-inch retina display running OS 10.8.3, in Photoshop CS6: after launching PS, the work window is too tall for the monitor display. The bottom is cut off: there are no bottom scroll bars or nor any of the page info, I can't grab the resizing corner to change window dimensions. Also, I can't change from Standard Screen Mode: neither the left tool bar nor the F key has any effect. I've quit and restarted both the PS app and entire computer but problem persists. How can I fix? Thank you.

Try quiting PS, setting your screen resolution to the max setting, which will make apps appear smaller. Restart PS, resize the PS window so that it's small, quit PS, and set you screen resolution back to where you had it.
