Desktop colors wrong

I recently updated from 10.4.11 Tiger to 10.5.6 Leopard on my Intel Mini.
If I open a jpg file in Preview, and in Photoshop Elements, they look the same. But if I set the same file as a desktop picture, it's different. More contrast and/or saturation. The file was made in Photoshop.
I booted a Tiger clone, copied the file from Leopard, and did the same test. All three look the same in Tiger, and are the same as in Preview and Photoshop in Leopard.
There's something different with a desktop picture in Leopard.
The digital color meter confirms what my eyes see. I tried a different picture, same result.
The contrast slider in Universal Access is set at normal. My monitor profile is being used in both systems.
Help!?? I don't know what else to try.
Screenshots: Preview overlaid on the desktop picture.

Leopard:

Very curious..
I wish I knew more about this, but the only thing I can think of is that the desktop pic engine in Leopard is different than Tiger. Why? I wouldn't have a clue.
Could you save the output of PS as a different file format, just as a test to see if the same off coloring occurs in Leopard? Also, do you have your desktop picture set to Fill Screen, or in any way stretch, expand, blow up or shrink down? If so, you might just try Center on Screen, again, as a test to see if the color variances persist.

  • Palm TX desktop colors

    The opening Desktop screen colors are not close to my Windows color preferences. As I read the setup info - the Palm is copying the Windows setup. Once I go past the opening screen, the colors are very close to windows settings.
     The initial colors are Black background, red lines [vertical], Green columns, and yellow when an item is clicked on.
    Did I miss something in "setup"?
    Thanks for your assistance, StretchG
    Post relates to: Palm TX

    I'm not quite sure what you're asking...Do you want different colors?
    The "normal" colors of Access Desktop are light blue, but if you choose another Windows color scheme to change the whole computer, there is no telling what "normal" should look like!
    (My colors on Access Desktop are definitely not black, red, and yellow!)  
    Unlike Palm Desktop 4.2, Access Desktop 6.2.2 does not give you the option of changing the Desktop color scheme.

  • New desktop has wrong path for page links in nav bar

    I created a new desktop and have the following problem. The image links to portal
    pages in the horizontal nav bar in the top have wrong path.
    Example.
    In the original portal the home page link in the nav bar has a image associated
    with it in workshop.
    \framework\skin\classic\images\home.gif
    The partial url generated for the image looks liek this:
    \mywebapp\\framework\skin\classic\images\home.gif.
    I created a new desktop everything works fine except for the images. The href's
    are created for the links but the image path is wrong.
    the url generated is : \mywebapp\appmanager\framework\skin\classic\images\home.gif
    The "appmanager" in the path causes the problem.
    Is this a bug?

    Hi Subbu,
    I used workshop page properties to associate the image to the page.

  • Color wrong when printing to Canon i9950 from CS5 apps and Acrobat, Win7 x64

    When printing from InDesign CS5 on Win 7 x64 to Canon i9950 using the  Canon ICM profiles (MP1, PR1, PR2, SP1) the colour output is completely  wrong!
    I disable the printer driver in the print prefs  (set to "manual") and under "color management" choose "Let InDesign  decide..." (no other option) for "color handling", and choose one of the  above profiles for "printer profile", as appropriate to the paper in  the printer, and the colours are totally out of whack.
    If  I just set the output "printer profile" to "Adobe RGB (1998)" the  output is much better, but of course it still isn't quite correct, or  properly set for the individual substrates, which the Canon ICMs are  supposed to do.
    Interestingly, when setting output to the  Canon profiles, it makes no difference whether the printer manages  colour (auto) or not (manual). Also, strangely, these profiles were  working fine with CS4, before installing CS5, but now they are not  working in CS4 either!
    So now "colour management" is a joke thanks to CS5.

    You might check with Canon to see if they've prepared any updated printer drivers you can download and install.
    Scout around this forum, a number of folks have reported certain Epson models with similar issues.  Feedback from Adobe was that they've switched to newer printer interfaces under the covers, and not all printer drivers work properly with those interfaces.  In one case at least a new printer had to be purchased to fix the problem.

  • Monitor Colors wrong following a re-install of 10.3

    I've fixed this once, a year ago, but have forgotten how!
    I have had to re-install 10.3 due to some other problems but with this fresh system, the monitor colors are not quite right. For example, the finder icon in the dock is purple, the label colors are all wrong, not only in color but have blocks of different color in them.
    I've messed with display preferences but cannot fix it. As I said this happened when I upgraded to 10.3 from 10.2.8 a year ago and I fixed it. Looking at the display preferences on the system where the color is OK and this one, I can see no difference. Calibrating the monitor did not seem to help.
    Any ideas appreciated.

    I haven't had this exact problem but on a couple of occasions, when my normal user setup wasn't behaving quite correctly, I started up from a new account, copied the preferences (HD/Users/UserAccount/Library/Preferences) to a new folder at the root level of my hard drive, restarted as my standard user, then used the preferences from the new account to overwrite those in my standard account. Sometimes you won't be able to overwrite them because they are in use; then just move the ones that can't be replaced to the trash, move the new ones to your user account preferences folder, restart and empty the trash.
    Hope this works for you.

  • Desktop color reverts to THOUSANDS at each restart

    I've got an Apple 1600x1024 Cinema Display and a Samsung SyncMaster as a second monitor, and both revert to THOUSANDS of colors ONLY FOR THE DESKTOP at each restart. The display preferences panel indicates that they are at millions but that is only true for application and finder windows, not the desktop. (I use solid colors, but also tried the patterns, etc., to no avail.) To actually get the desktop to millions, I need to change each display setting to thousands (which does nothing), then back to millions (which then actually sets the desktop to millions). I've logged on as root, and the display setting there is fine. I've trashed the user (me) prefs for "com.apple.desktop.plist" as well as "com.apple.systempreferences.plist", but the problem continues. Any suggestions?

    Have you trashed the display color caches? You might want to try to remove any "com.apple.colorsync.profiles" files in /Library/Caches, and hide them in the Trash for a test.
    Also, drag the following files to the trash:
    _ com.apple.kernelcaches (a folder in /System/Library/Caches)
    _ Extensions.kextcache (a file in /System/Library)
    _ Extensions.mkext (a file in /System/Library/)
    _ com.apple.ATS (a folder in /Library/Caches/)
    _ Files that start with com.apple.LaunchServices (in /Library/Caches)
    I'd then boot into Open Firmware (CMDOPT_OF) & type:
    reset-nvram <return>
    set-defaults <return>
    reset-all <return>
    ...and then, clear the PRAM on the reboot (CMDOPT_PR, 2 chimes).
    Prior to all of this, you might want to unplug both monitors - from the utility power and from the system, and let all power drain completely, leaving them off for 8-10 minutes. I've seen monitors re-set themselves this way before.
    Good Luck!

  • Canon i9900 color inkjet printer. Photos are printing with colors wrong. Is there a driver that works?

    I'm using a new MacBook Pro/Mavericks and a Canon i9900 color ink jet photo printer. The colors are printing all wrong, it almost looks like a negative. Printing directly from the Canon 6D photos print just fine. Is there a work around for this? Canon says it's Apple's driver that is the problem. I've tried printing from PhotoMatrix Pro, Photoshop CC, PhotoElements CC, Preview, and all kinds of software but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions out there?

    Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but a printer must be consuming a little electricity for it to sense and respond to a command to turn on and print. Therefore, I suggest you forget buying a new printer with this feature and simply leave the printer you already have on all the time.
    Just a thought!

  • Colors wrong on monitor in Lightroom 3

    Everything was working Ok until I updated my motherboard - Gigabyte motherboards with Intel chipsets in before and after case. The new board has an Intel HD Graphics 3000 chipset. Latest driver installed.  Monitor is a Samsung SyncMaster - latest driver installed. Windows XP SP3. Display setting 32 bit at 1680 x 1050 (to match the screen resolution).  Spyder3Express calibration used - latest version.
    The colors are wrong on the monitor in Lightroom 3.5.  The colors are OK in Windows Viewer or Canon ZoomBrowser EX.  I can even export from Lightroom to a jpg and get the same colors in the jpg as I did with an export before the upgrade.  The color change in Lightroom is applicable to CR2, jpg and dng files imported both before and after the motherboard upgrade.
    I've updated all drivers to latest versions and uninstalled/reinstalled the Spyder calibration software, recalibrated the monitor and rebooted.  The color problem still persists in Lightroom.
    I suspect a bad color profile is being loaded into Lightroom but do not know how to determine the profile loaded or even where the profiles are loaded from.  Any help in troubleshooting would be appreciated.

    Just want to clarify a point here that many people miss, because it's not obvious. Monitor calibration and profiling are separate processes, although both are usually performed at the same time and therefore often lumped together in the word "calibration".
    You see a color shift when you boot up the system, right? Many people assume that's the monitor profile, but actually it's only a small part of it. That's just a basic correction of white point and gamma curves, and this is the calibration part. Since it's loaded into the video card (or monitor) it affects everything, system-wide.
    But the monitor profile is more complex. It is a full and complete description of the monitor's behaviour in three-dimensional color space, in its calibrated state. The precision is much higher. Calibration can't differentiate between a wide gamut and a standard gamut monitor for instance, but the profile will, because it pinpoints the position of the three primaries. Just to give you an idea of the difference.
    So if the profile is bad Lightroom will get the wrong picture and be thrown off. The other applications live in blissful ignorance and for them it's business as usual.

  • InDesign CC always resets desktop color settings on new start

    This is very annoying: InDesign CC still is not able to save the color settings I choose for the desktop (palettes, workspace background). Everytime I restart InDesign I have to manually set these things again. Since CC came out, I have been hoping that one of the updates would finally fix this.
    I am using a multi-monitor workspace, InDesign CC (9.1. ) on a mac pro. I had the problem under OSX 10.8.X and now still under OSX 10.9.1.

    I am having the same problem. The workspace will not save. Every time I open the program, it has reverted to some other configuration. Very frustrating.
    I am using a single monitor workspace, InDesign CC (9.2) on a Windows 7 64-bit machine.

  • Color wrong after editing in Photoshop

    Tonight I edited a jpg file in photoshop, choosing to edit a copy without applying lightroom adjustments, which gives me a jpg in photoshop. I edited it, flattened it, and saved as a jpg. I immediately noticed a pink or magenta cast to the view of it in Lightroom. I've done this procedure often and never noticed a change in color before.
    I have done it several times with the same result. If I save the file as a psd and force Lightroom to find it, then it has the correct color, so this is a jpg thing.
    Using Windows Viewer, if I export from Lightroom the pink/magenta cast is there, just as it shows in Lightroom. If I view the file that Lightroom is using with Windows Viewer the color is as photoshop shows.
    I get the same pink/magenta color cast if I edit a copy in Elements.
    I tried searching the forum and didn't see anything that looked like this. I checked and I don't have any develop settings specified, even if they would apply to actions such as editing in an external application.

    Thank you Jeff! I thought I was going crazy! I remember now setting that the other day to save something to upload to the web and it "sticks".
    But it only makes a magenta shift in Lightroom!? This must be yet another bug that we who are just TOO PICKY should complain about?
    This should be in the FAQ in case it isn't. I don't know though how one would find it in a FAQ without reading all of them because when you get this you have no idea what is wrong.

  • Colors wrong in Indesign

    When I print a color in Photoshop, it looks perfect. The entire doc needs to be printed in InDesign. When I print from Indesign, the colors look wrong. Color setting are synchronized throughout CS6. I have set the profile for the paper and printer I am using. What am I missing? Thanks to anyone who can assist.

    First, you don't necessarily have to down-sample during export (that's up to you in the settings, along with the compression method), nor do you have to use lossy compression.
    Second, descktop printers don't need as much resolution as a press, and excess resolution doesn't improve print quality.

  • HELP! Printing colors wrong for CS4 vs CS3

    Every time I have to print something, I have to use CS3 because when I use CS4 the colors come out slightly brighter, flatter and PINKER. I use the exact same print settings as CS3 but it's always wrong. I'm forced to use CS3 for printing only.
    My color profiles are correct so it's not that. One programs prints correctly, the other doesn't.

    printer driver is not updated correctly (something Epson seems to have 
    a problem with) for Leopard or Snow Leopard, when application manages 
    color is selected, instead of forcing the driver to No Colormanagement 
    (which is how it works with correctly updated drivers) the driver gets 
    forced to ColorSync which results in double profiling. Also people 
    have reported where the drivers did not install correctly or add 
    correctly and the media settings and profiles did not register with 
    ColorSync correctly. You can check this in the ColorSync Utility.
    You can always try the colorsync utility workaround of telling 
    colorsync to use the same printer profile you choose in the print 
    dialog of the application.

  • Color wrong on prints

    I would appreciate any suggestions and help in correcting color in my photo prints. I did not notice the problem previously when I printed because it wasn't critical for what I was doing but now I have color that is very wrong. My orange tulip printed purple or at best fushia and landscape scene has a blueish cast to it.
    The prints were made from iPhoto, Kodak Easyshare Software, and Safari Preview with the same results from each.
    I have recently changed the printhead and put in new color and black cartridges.
    I have an Kodak ESP-3 All-in-One Printer.
    Thanks for your help.

    Yes - only have used Kodak ink - and Yes, I made all of the printer tests required for my Kodak ESP-3 printer.
    Kodak service finally determined that the problem was beyond fixing (new printhead, ink cartridges, etc.) and offered me a substantial discount on a choice of two new printers.
    Thanks for your reply.

  • Remote Desktop shows wrong Ethernet-ID

    Hello,
    Remote Desktop shows a wrong Ethernet-ID if you have an MacBook without built in Ethernet.
    If the MacBook is connected to LAN by Thunderbolt-Ethernet-Adapter and you scan the LAN with RemoteDesktop
    you will be shown the AirPort ID, not the Ethernet-ID!!!
    In that case the Ethernet-ID is useless...
    Can someone fix this?
    Regards,
    Olaf

    If memory serves, ARD reports the "primary" ethernet address. This is defined as the first item in the "Service Order" list in the Network control panel. Click on the gear icon and select "Set Service Order..." to change the ordering.
