Dell XPS 15 Color Management Problem with "True Color"

I recently purchased a Dell XPS 15 (6845slv).  Overall I have very happy with it...but have been getting frustrated with color management issues and was hoping to get some advice.
Intermittently, the display had been changing the color scheme (to a suboptimal scheme).  It lasted for anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes and then returned to the original (and more normal appearing) color settings.  It did not seem to happen while running any particular applications.  All drivers are up-to-date.
I turned off the dell application "True Color" which I thought may have been making automatic adjustments to the color scheme and since turning it off the issue hasn't happened again.  However now I'm concerned that by inactivating that software, that I may not be maximizing the potential of the high quality HD display.  And now--though maybe it's in my head--the colors seem to be a little flatter since turning off True Color.
Does anyone have any suggestions for getting the most out of the display? Has anyone had similar issues with True Color?  Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks for your help.

I ended up fully uninstalling it from programs and features...I haven't had the problem since.  I've been happy with the display since making this change.

  • Color management problem with calibrated monitor

    I'm using a Samsung Syncmaster T220 LCD profiled and calibrated with a Spyder2Express. PC runs Vista 32 SP2, Photoshop CS4. Using Adobe RGB for workspace profile. System profile is set to the Spyder2Express profile.
    Open up photo in Photoshop. Colors fine.
    Resize for web, convert to sRGB, then check preview in "Save for web..."
    Under preview, I preview the following:
    -Monitor Color
    -Windows (no color management)
    -Macintosh (no color management)
    -Document Profile
    The Preview of Windows, Document Profile settings look exactly right, whereas the Monitor Color setting looks badly darkened. I preview with Firefox, save and view image using IrfanView and Firefox. It's badly darkened. I'm stumped. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. This is similar to another recent posting here, except that I am using a calibrated display with profile.
    Anyone know what I'm missing?
    Thanks, Luke

    I'm a little confused. Previewing through "Monitor Color" and "Windows (no color management)" are both technically not color managed. Perhaps we should distinguish further between "colorspace aware" and "device profile aware". So I can understand when you say that Irfanview will do some color management, but does not use the monitor device profile. But I would have thought that Firefox in non managed-color config would still use the monitor device profile.
    I would have thought (and I might turn out to be wrong) that previewing using "Windows (not color managed)" would be the standard for previewing images for stock browser configurations. What photoshop shows me is correct rendering of the image based on what I edited in this mode. But the browser shows me a version that looks like it is not device aware, counter to photoshop's prediction. What is going wrong here? Do none of these major window apps use device profiles? Why does photoshop think that they will?
    Another thing that has been suggested is that my monitor is calibrated so far from the stock configuration that sRGB photos displayed on it without the benefit of device profiling will come out far off the mark. But I profiled the monitor in stock hardware configuration and made no adjustments, and don't think that the hardware config of the monitor has changed.
    If this turns out to be just a practical issue, then it leaves a major question. What did I accomplish by calibration if my calibration doesn't look like anything I actually display with? I can guess that prepress work will be more accurate in most respects, or I hope so anyway. But how should I manage workflow for developing images for web content if I am unable to match up what I'm editing with what the end user will see?
    Or maybe I'm just doing something wrong...or maybe photoshop is...or I don't know what. Where do I go from here? Is WCS implicated in this somewhere?

  • Color Management problems

    Hello to all!
    I have bought a new monitor lately, a Dell Ultrasharp U2410 and my very pleased with it but I have encountered some problems, mostly with sRGB and AbobeRGB color spaces.
    I have calibrated my monitor correctly with Spyder3Elite (5800 - 120 - 2.2) and I'm using Europe Prepress 3 color profile in Photoshop and Illustrator as I am a graphic designer and I mostly work in CMYK color spaces.
    This means that I use AbodeRGB and Coated Fogra 39 in the programs.
    I begun having problems with RGB color space when I realised differences in images I was trying to export from Photoshop and Illustrator for Internet use ("save for web" menu) both in Firefox Broswer which I have calibrated too ("about:config" menu).
    And I will give you and example:
    I am using the  "Color Index 2" book very often for easily finding color tones both in RGB and CMYK. I have use it for finding and matching the colors for my id and website.
    So I have selected a blue color tone #00adef which according to the book and my monitor is R:0 G:173 B:239. This is actually Cyan 100% accoriding to the book (my monitor reads 90% but no big deal there).
    When I see the color tone though AdobeRGB color space in Photoshop and Illustrator, it looks very close to the book. When I see it though sRGB the difference is huge!
    And let's say that this quite normal as AdobeRGB is a lot wider color space compairing to sRGB. And let's say that I have to get used to it as I use a wide gamut monitor now.
    The real problem is this: No matter how I export my files for web ("save for web" menu) both in AdobeRGB, by checking Embeded ICC, and in sRGB, when I use "Print Screen" to take a color sample, the color values change!
    So to sum up:
    1. I know that it's different to have a wide gamut monitor but how "normal" is to see such huge difference in RGB color spaces?
    2. If browser color management if OFF and I use AbobeRGB color space, everything looks the same. If browser color management is ON no matter if I USE AbobeRGB or sRGB I have problems (color differences + "print screen" inaccurate color tones).
    Can anyone tell me what I do wrong here, if I should or should not do something to fix all this because guess what, if I can't fix the problem with my own color palletes for my site and id, I can't work correctly either. Help!
    I have alredy read lots or forums, reviews etc about color management but I am still confused about where I am doing it wrong.
    Thanks for reading this and I hope that someone will have an answer help...

    when I use "Print Screen" to take a color sample, the color values change!
    windows Print Screen (screenshot on Mac) I believe is based on the monitor profile, the Mac embeds the monitor profile in its screenshots
    i may suggest that you get a handle on how colormanaged apps apply the source profile and Convert (or transform) the colors to the Monitor or Print profile
    whereas unmanaged apps (for practical purposes) send the RGB numbers straight through to the monitor unaltered
    moreover, some windows apps that claim to be color managed only transform (or Convert) the color to sRGB (they are not fully color managed like Photoshop, Photoshop converts to the monitor profile)
    all this is pretty easy to observe (especially on a wide gamut monitor) if you apply the basic theory...

  • Color management problems - help please!

    Hello, I'm trying hard to understand color management and to make colors consistent throughout my workflow, and I'm failing miserably despite reading and re-reading the help files. I'd REALLY appreciate some help with my specific problems, which I'm going to detail here.
    WHAT I DO
    I make pictures for use on the Web. I do both this by photoshopping existing photos, and by digitally drawing and painting in photoshop starting from a blank document.
    HOW MY SYSTEM IS SET UP
    1) I have my monitor set to sRGB, and I've calibrated the colors using the Viewsonic calibration app that came with the monitor. The resulting colors look good, to my eyes at least.
    2) I've set up Photoshop to use sRGB as the working RGB colorspace, and to convert RGB images to the working colorspace
    3) I've set up Photoshop's Save For Web to embed the color profile, to Convert to sRGB, and to Preview with Use Document Profile
    THE PROBLEM I'M HAVING
    The preview I see in the Save For Web preview screen exactly matches the source document. However, after saving for web, the color of the jpg or gif is significantly different to that of the original document.
    If I change the preview mode to Monitor Color, it does show an accurate representation of the jpg or gif that will be saved, but of course as I've explained that is drastically different to the source document.
    WHAT I NEED
    1) I need the output jpg or gif to match the source document
    2) I need to understand what's going wrong so that I can gain some insight into this process. I'm finding it very confusing
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Mark

    Mark,
    What model of viewsonic do you have? And is it a CRT or LCD?
    If it's a CRT, there are some software based "eyeball" calibrators which can get you in the ballpark. If you have an older version of Photoshop you can use the Adobe Gamma utility that was included in CS2 and earlier versions.
    After that, my previous advice still stands, but the best results are still going to be to bite the bullet for a colorimeter and live with the peace of mind that will give you.
    If your Viewsonic is an LCD, you're much more limited, as the eyeball calibrators were never designed for LCD's. You can try them and they may be better than nothing, but no guarantees.

  • Muse Color Management Problem

    Is there a way to control how Muse handles color?
    When using websafe background colors in Muse, the color renders drastically diffrent when exported and displayed in Safari and Chrome.
    In addition my photographs are way too saturated when exported from Muse and displayed in those browsers. The original files display properly when used in any other way or in any other program, and they have sRGB profiles attached.
    If there isn't a dialog for configuring the way Muse handles color management, it's extremely important that one is created or photographers are not going to be able to get accurate color.

    That advice doesn't help with this issue. I don't need to use a color checker to verify that the colors are different. It's very obvious. I'm having the same issue this guy was having that was never addressed:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1250202
    I actually think I figured it out. The problem is that Muse is color managing all of the colors displayed when working in the program, basically it's applying a profile, probably sRGB, to everything you see in Muse. That's a problem, because once the hex color code goes to the browser and tells it render a color like websafe color 0066cc, for example, the browser will render that color without  applying a profile to it.
    The color shift amount will depend on the color, and websafe colors will shift less, but either way Muse shouldn't being color managing any color that the browser will render from hex code.
    You can test this by taking a websafe hex code, lets use 0066cc, fill a small square with it in Photoshop, saving it as a Jpeg with an sRGB profile embedded, then discard the profile by going to:
    PS/Edit/Assign Profile/Don't Color Manage This Document
    Save a second Jpeg copy of that same color square without the profile.
    Make three pages in Muse, one page with 0066cc entered as the BG fill in Muse; one with with the backgoung set to a tiled BG image in Muse using the the 0066cc square Jpeg with the embedded sRGB profile as the bg image; then the third page should be configured like the last with the 0066cc square Jpeg that's untagged without the profile, set it as the tiled bg image.
    When you compare the 3 pages in a browser to the 3 page displays in Muse you'll notice that the only page that matches the Muse color is page 2 with the tiled bg image set to the 0066cc filled square Jpeg that has the sRGB profile embedded.
    The reason why is that the browser is reading the embedded sRGB profile from the tiled BG image Jpeg and so it's color managing the browser fill, since it's a Jpeg not a hex code, Muse matches that one and on all three pages displayed in Muse, because it's color managing everything no matter what, regardless if there's a profle associated with that color or not.
    This is just one color problem with Muse, I found another pretty bad one that I'm going to save for later...

  • Print Color Management Problem ?

    I have a print color management problem I cannot solve. It reminds me of the print color management problem I had over a year ago when the compatibility conflict between LR and MAC Leopard produced horrible prints. I have Snow Leopard now and been out of the country for some months and yesterday when I tried to make some prints the same problem reemerged. So I downloaded current drivers (and ICCsfor Premium Luster) from Epson and LR 2.6 and spent a good part of the day with Martin Evening's book. I followed (I think) his instructions to make the basic print step by step but the prints still were terrible. My problem is with the color management pop up in the print settings dialog -- it says "color matching" not color management and I cannot check either "no color management " if I want LR to control the process (Kelby)  or check "color sync" if I want my Epson R800 take over. I have no idea where the "color management" pop up went. I'm clueless as usual and probably omitting a step because of frustration or brain numbness. Any help would be appreciated. WJS

    The settings in Lightroom are simple. and contain in the Print Job panel in the Print module. You either select manage in printer (and then select the profile in the printer drivers) or select the profile here and then turn of all colour management in the printer drivers. The second option will usually produce the best results. What you don't want is to have the profile selected in both LR and the printer drivers, so if the driver doesn't have an option to turn of colour management then you may be forced down the first route. However it would be an unusual decision for a printer manufacturer to make drivers that can't turn off colour management, so you may wish to ask how to do it to your printer manufacturer or check the printers handbook.

  • Lightroom (ACR 4) color management problems

    Lightroom (or ACR 4) has some color management problems. When I develop a DNG into Photoshop (sRGB) everything looks great. Then I proof colors for the web (monitor RGB) the reds become oversaturated. I don't see this problem when I develop the same DNG using Bridge (ACR 3).
    Any picture that I develop using LR that looks great in Photoshop, becomes way too red when published on the web.
    Whats going on here?

    I have confirmed this finding using Photoshop CS3 beta - same problem in converting to the web - too red!

  • Problems with "no color" in the "Fill and Stroke"

    I am having problems with “no color” in the “Fill and Stroke” function of Flash CS4 Pro.
    I had been using CS4 for 10 days and everything worked fine. Then I tried experimenting with various color combinations (along with “no color”) for “Fill and Stroke” for a simple button. Suddenly CS4 locked up on me while I was working with the “color panel”. A second color panel appeared in the upper left corner and the program was not responding. All I could do was to end the CS4 task.
    After that, whenever I created even a simple rectangle, at first the colors would appear as indicated for “Fill and Stroke”, but when I selected the object to see its properties, either the stroke or the fill color box would have a red slash line, indicating a “no color”, and I couldn’t select the color box to change it using the ink bottle tool, although the other box worked fine.
    Rebooting did not help. So I uninstalled CS4 (and didn’t keep the preferences), rebooted, then reinstalled it. The problem was still there. Logging on as another user didn’t help. I tried restoring the Windows system to before I installed CS4 and resinstalling it and that didn’t work. I have a disfunctional CS4 now and I don’t know what to do to fix it. Please help me. Thank you.

    Have you updated flash to 10.0.2?  Have you played around with a bunch of different selections, objects, and so forth to see if this box is always incorrect?  I think there's some particular selection (order of selecting things, and so on), where the color swatches in one location don't work as expected. However, it should not happen all the time and from what I recall it was fairly easy to work around (I can't even figure out what this was - so probably not it, as it seems hard to run into or perhaps now fixed).
    Also make sure you have the stroke selected - if you don't have everything selected, either the fill or stroke will show no color and dim depending on the selection.

  • Color Management Problem

    I just installed Photoshop CS3 on my home PC, and seem to be having a problem with color management. When opening photos taken with my Canon G9, or even pictures downloaded off the web, in Photoshop they appear badly posterized. Viewing the same photos in the Canon ZoomBrowser, or with the standard Windows XP tools, they appear correct.
    Obviously, my color management is not properly configured. I am using the standard North American defaults with sRGB for my RGB working space, and I've tried every RGB color management policy. My monitor is an older Dell 24" LCD (I don't have the model number in front of me right now). My monitor is not calibrated, but that would not account for the dramatic difference I see in Photoshop vs. other viewing applications.
    The best I can achieve is by switching the RGB working space to Monitor RGB (or proofing with that configuration), and discarding the embedded color profile (sRGB in my Canon images). And yes, Photoshop does list the specific color space profile for my Dell monitor. This still results in a different color rendition from that which I see when viewing the same photo in other applications, with blues shifted slightly toward purple.
    I have several other Mac and PC based Photoshop systems in my office, but I haven't had the chance to see how the same pictures look on those. It seems to me that this is something particular to the color space of my Dell monitor, but I'm not sure of the appropriate way to correct it.

    Your prints are too dark. So you need to either make your monitor darker,
    or your prints lighter. Given that you are probably fairly happy with your
    monitor for cruising the web, etc, let's focus on your printer.
    If it's like my HP, there is a brightness adjustment in the printer driver
    under Start>Settings>Printers and Faxes><"printer name">. Adjust it until
    the overall brightness of the print matches, as closely as possible, the
    appearance of your screen.
    To save paper and ink, I recommend that you print a thin strip at the top
    of the page, and snip off the strip after each test.
    Here is a test strip that you can use, with a variety of blurred skin tones
    as well as a gray test strip. The procedure is documented here:
    http://curvemeister.com/downloads/TestStrip/digital_test_strip.htm
    As a final check, download images from any well-known web gallery and print
    them, or use one of the calibration images from www.drycreekphoto.com . If
    they are too dark or too light, you may want to revisit the brightness of
    your monitor.
    Trust your vision, and treat this as a learning experience. With a little
    patience, and a systematic procedure, you can get good results without a
    calibration device.
    Monitor calibration devices are a valuable tool in a professional or high
    end amateur setting. No one is saying they are a complete solution to
    matching display to printer, and some final tweaking may be necessary for
    matching print and display.

  • LR Web Module color management problem

    I stumbled on to this discussion thread:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/3572174#3572174
    initiated by “JimmysPhoto” because I have observed the same LR Web Module problem with images too saturated too much contrast and clipped highlights & shadows. Please note that this is not a settle difference, it’s a major change in the look of the image. I have a calibrated monitor using Spyder3 Elite. All other LR modules display the images exactly as I see in Development Module.
    I did a test by exporting an image from the Dev Module to a file using the LR “Export “ function (from RAW to JPEG using sRBG color space) to a Windows file. When I display the image with the Windows Live Photo Gallery Viewer the image looks exactly the same as in the LR Dev module. However, opening this same image with IE-9 I get the same oversaturated look I see in the Web Module.
    Because I use the LR Web Module to push photo galleries to my website host server I end up with images that do not look the way I processed them in LR – which is a serious issue for me. Was there any resolution to “JimmysPhoto” problems that I could benefit from?
    I use Win7 64bit, LR 3.X and a high quality Dell U2410 display.

    It's very strange that both IE9 and Chrome browsers go to the trouble of doing colour management, but both do it wrong - in different ways!
    To colour-manage an image for display, you have to:
    Figure out the profile of the image (often embedded in the image, or if none probably assume sRGB unless you know the image colour space by some other means)
    Figure out the profile of the monitor (Windows will tell you that, if the monitor has a profile, otherwise you can't colour manage)
    Using the two profiles, convert the image from the image colour space , via a Profile Connection Space (typically CIELAB (L*a*b*) or CIEXYZ), into the monitor's colour space.
    The hard work is 3; finding out the profiles is easy.
    IE9 does 1 and 3 but not 2.  It goes to all the trouble of colour space conversion (step 3), but doesn't bother to look up the monitor profile.  It assumes sRGB, which will be approximately right for most monitors, but never exactly right, and hopelessly wrong for wide gamut monitors.
    Chrome does 2 and 3 but not 1.  It goes to all the trouble of color space conversion, but doesn't bother to look up the image profile, assuming all images to be sRGB!
    Why do the hard bit, but make a pig's ear of the easy bit?

  • Officejet pro 8600 plus e-all-in-one color managment problem.

    please help, I'm a photographer and I own officejet pro 8600 plus e-all-in-one printer. I want to print my photos using this printer, but it never print them right, so I bought Colormunki photo to calibrate my monitor and my printer and match them together. The problem is I can't control the printer color management  !!! I want to disable it, so I can use the printer profile in Photoshop or other applications to get the right prints. my prints are darker when I set the color management to be handled by the application, or I make the printer handle it but I will end up with wrong colors. I really really need to change the profile of the printer. how ?????? otherwise I really have no use of it in my work.

    Jassim,
    Kudos to you for figuring out how to better control the outcome for what you require.
    I have learned something new today.  Smiling!
    Did you create the new profile manually or add it in from a previously saved setting?  Filename / filetype?
    It has been a while since I used Photoshop.  I am thinking I may take another look at my old favorite.

  • Problem with blue color in Photoshop CS4 after calibrating monitor

    Hi to all! I would appreciate if someone can help me!
    Before some days I calibrated my monitor with Pantone Huey Pro and after that I find out that photoshop doesn't show blue color corectly. I create a blue (0,0,255) page and it looks a bit like violet, while I don't have any problems with red and green (which are perfect), or with other programs (other programs display blue and all colors correctly). But when I save this blue page and open it with a different program I see the real blue color. So the problem is that during editing in Photoshop blue color isn't correct, it's a bit violet.
    Can anyone tell me why blue color doesn't behave properly in Photoshop? Is there any setting I should change in Photoshop Color Settings?
    I use sRGB on my camera, and sRGB in Photoshop (North America General Purpose 2, sRGB IEC61966-2.1, U.S. Web coated (SWOP) v2, Dot Gain 20%,  Dot Gain 20).
    Thanks for your time!
    George

    Thanks for your quick responce!
    I update Huey and Photoshop and did the calibration again but it didn't fix the problem. Is it possible that the calibrator doesn't work properly?
    My monitor isn't very new, so I don't think it has wide gamut display.
    When you say that "if your display is not truely sRGB" you mean that maybe the profile created Huey isn't correct? I have done many times the calibration and the result is always the same.
    I think that Paintshop uses color management, too, shouldn't it display the same wrong blue color if Huey's profile is wrong?
    How can I check if Huey works properly? Maybe I should try it on a different PC?
    Thanks for your time!!!
    Best regards,
    George

  • Color Management issues with Illustrator

    Can someone help me figure out the color management issues I'm getting when printing on an Epson 3880 from Illustrator?
    The image comes out severely red as evident on the face. I'm not getting the same problem when printing from Photoshop, even though I set same paper profile in printing dialog box.
    I attached two printed picture (one from Photoshop CC, and one from Illustrator CC) that I took with my iphone so that you can see the printed result.  Even when I try to simulate same thing using illustrator soft proofing process, the soft proof does not show me anything close to how it gets printed out. And I tried all device simulations to see if any would match it. Im using  CMYK SWOP v2 for Color space in both programs.

    Dougfly,
    Only an hour wasted? Lucky you. Color is an incredibly complex subject. First, forget matching anything to the small LCD on the back of your camera. That's there as a basic guide and is affected by the internal jpg algorithm of your camera.
    2nd, you're not really takeing a color photo with your digital camera, but three separate B&W images in a mosaic pattern, exposed thru separate red, green and blue filters. Actual color doesn't happen until that matrix is demosaiced in either your raw converter, or the in-camera processor (which relies heavily on camera settings, saturation, contrast, mode, etc.)
    Having said the above, you can still get very good, predictable results in your workflow. I have a few color management articles on my website that you might find very helpful. Check out the Introduction to Color Management and Monitor and Printer Profiling. In my opinion, a monitor calibration device is the minimum entry fee if you want decent color.
