Display color changed

Hi everyone!
The display on my Mac turned into a very light blue. It's very annoying to work like this. Any help to correct it on my own?
Thanks!

Create a new user, log out your current user and log in as the new. It colors are displayed correctly, then I guess you could go into the other user's library and delete the offending file.
Moral of the story: To clean your keyboard, do disconect it first... ;-)

Display color changes when I start some applications.

Hello.
Today I reinstalled OSX 10.8.1.
All applications are up2date.
But some applications like iPhoto have a strange behavior. When I start them, the display color changes. It looks like it has a blue fog.
As soon as I close the application it's back to normal. Only happens for a few applications.
In the console I see the following entires when I start the application and the display changes:

Any idea what the problem might be?
Thanks

I had the same problem early on in Mountain Lion - whenever an application kicked in that used the discrete GPU, the screen would get a bluish tint. I 'resolved' the situation by using Cody Krieger's gfxCardStatus and kept the mode on Integrated Only. This, of course, slowed down some applications but, by and large, I was able to live with it. Then one day - just out of the 'blue' - I decided to switch back to Dynamic Switching: and, lo and behold, by blue tint was gone when the discrete GPU kicked in.
I only know how to temporarily fix the problem - you're one of about a dozen people that have reported it both here and in the Adobe Photoshop users forum. Try the gfxCardStatus 'fix' and then see if the problem doesn't rectify itself after a bit. It wasn't the 10.8.1 update that fixed my problem - it was just a week or so of running on integrated only.
Let me know if this doesn't work for you...

Display color changes when Photoshop opens

Hi there,
Since recently, whenever I open Photoshop CS6 (13.0.1) or Illustrator CS6 (16.1.0), the display color changes, i.e. as if the display color profile termporarily changes to a different one. Even if I switch to another app, the color change will remain until I quite Photoshop or Illustrator. Using Mac OS 10.8.2.
Does anyone anyone have an idea how to prevent this from happening?
Thanks!

The color shift happens when the computer changes the graphics card (from Intel HD to Nvidia or AMD). It's a problem of Mac OS X 10.8.x. I found a simple solution that worked (at least for me):
Turn off automatic graphics switching in System Preferences > Energy Saver
Reboot your computer
Turn automatic graphics switching on again (or leave it off, as you like ...)
It seems that the mac has to start up with the discreet graphics card turned on (Nvidia or AMD).

10.9.3 update display color change

Hello all,
Is it only me or have more people noticed a change in the display color (or color profile) since the latest 10.9.3 update?
I updated a moment ago while working on some graphic designs. After restart I could clearly see the change as I used a very light (237 235 221) background color and it looks certainly different now. I checked the color profiles and I still use the Adobe RGB (1998) as I did before the update.
Light conditions in the room are the same, my eyes are stil the same, no huge amounts of coffee since the upgrade either.
I can live with this but would like to know if something begins to happen with my computer or wether it is a more common problem, then I can rest asure a fix will arrive soon ;-)
All the best!

Display colors change after start up

Hi, I recently tried to open a Power Point file which was too heavy and I got so desperate that I hit the keyboards as if they were a piano... Final result is that now everytime I start up the computer the display colors are all a mess, like if the "negative" part of the picture shows up instead of the true colors. I know the display is ok, for when the computer is started, the initial screen colors show up well.
I would not like having to reload the operating system to fix the problem.
Any suggestions?

Open the Universal Access pane of System Preferences, click on the Seeing tab, turn off the White on Black option, move the Contrast slider all the way to the left, and deactivate the remaining options except for the one which controls access to assistive devices.

Im the photographer... the display color change when i upgrade to SL..

I m a photographer, after i upgraded to SL, all my black and white photo are yellowish. The black are not total black and the white are not total white like in os x 10.5.x. Are any others photographer upgrade their os and face this problem too?

Check that the correct profile is selected for your display (in Sys. Prefs. -> Display -> Color)
After installing SL mine was not set to the correct profile. I fixed it, and it has remained set to the correct one since.

Mac mini display color changed. How do I get it back to normal?

I picked up my keyboard to remove dust and dirt, and I must have pressed some button or two, because now the colors in my display are horribly wrong.
I opened Library/ColorSync
and then Profile First Aid.
I verified and repaired and got this message:
"Library/ColorSync/Profiles/EW-sRGB
Tag 'desc': Tag size not correct. Could not be fixed."
What do I need to do to get my colors back to normal?!?!?

Create a new user, log out your current user and log in as the new. It colors are displayed correctly, then I guess you could go into the other user's library and delete the offending file.
Moral of the story: To clean your keyboard, do disconect it first... ;-)

Color change from PS to LR

Sorry if thias has been posted somewhere else before.
I'm making a new logo to use in my web-galleries, generated in the WEB-module in LR.
In Photoshop I ensure the background color is #141414 - but when I open the logo in LR 2 (or # for that matter) the background-color reads #191919. The same thing happens when I import the logo through the library-module - the background-colour changes. The logo is made as a RGB PSD-file in the ProPhoto color-space.
How do I avoid this change?
And - if this applies to all my PSD-files imported back to LR there's no point in colormanagement at all!?!
Any help og hints would be so great, as this is driving me nuts.
-s.

Unfortunately Jao, yours wasn't.
I'm sorry because of that. Perhaps you should first read up on color spaces. This is a good article. The thing to know is that the numbers you read of the display in Lightroom are not 8-bit numbers in prophotoRGB, but are percentages in a related space which has prophotoRGB primaries and a sRGB tone curve. The working space in Lightroom is linear prophotoRGB. So if you have a color of 14,14,14 in Photoshop (I am assuming those are normal arab numbers in an 8-bit display) in prophotoRGB, the corresponding number in Lightroom would be 6.4% for all three. If your numbers where hexadecimal, the display in Lightroom would show 10%.
Rereading your post, my guess is that you are talking about something else where the actual displayed color changes, so that it is visible to your own eyes. On a correctly setup system this should never happen. As troutmask notes, differences between PS and Lightroom are basically always due to a few things. I. Bad monitor profile. Fix this by recalibrating. II. Incorrect setup in Photoshop. It should be setup to always respect embedded color spaces and the working space should NOT be the monitor profile. III. Failure to include an icc profile on save from Photoshop. III is very common. Make sure that when you save, to include the prophotoRGB profile. Otherwise, Lightroom will assume it is an sRGB file.
Lastly, and I am starting to think that this is your issue, if you are creating a logo for the web, make sure you do it in the sRGB profile (simply do a convert to profile in Photoshop and save it under a different name). On windows almost every web browser (except Safari and the latest Firefox) are not color managed, so they will give weird color if you feed it images in anything else than sRGB. The web module in the windows version of Lightroom uses the IE engine, so you don't get color management in that module. You also don't get color management in flash galleries on any platform.

Display color problem - asking for a color solution

So I have this serious problem with my Macbook Pro.
Some months ago I suddenly saw green colors in black area's and pink line colors in white areas.
Text on white background was extremely frustrating to read, since it was surrounded with small pink lines and flickering.
Note this was only near max white and max black areas of the screen.
I found out that it was due to a hardware failure, since slightly bending the laptop (!!) would remove the problem
Attaching an external monitor doesn't show the defect, and booting in Windows 7 (bootcamp) still shows the same screen problem.
Searching the web, it appears that it was a NVidia related heat problem, known to my model, but the offer to get it fixed for free by apple (since it was a known issue) had already run out december 2012 (!!). I think my laptop is about 3-4 years old, and the battery pretty much died on me the first year, probably due to heavy usage and the graphic card getting too hot. There are small sweat/corosion marks of where my hand are placed when typing, on the aluminium, due to how hot my laptop got. It sometimes got so hot I couldn't touch the aluminium on the top left corner near the 1-2-Q-W keys.
Fixing my Macbook is too expensive. Just getting someone to look at it to diagnose it (without repairing it), costs a lot in my country, and we have no official apple store, only authorized resellers. I know it's probably the motherboard, because I tried to unscrew the backlid and gently touch certain area's on the motherboard with a pen, while the computer was still running, to find out where the short circuit was. I only started this kind of trying to "self service" it, because I knew how expensive replacing the motherboard would be (if that was even the issue?).
I have multiple times tried to place something up against the sensitive area's on the motherboard, and then screw back the backlid, to put some pressure on it, which at first worked brilliantly and removed the color issue for some weeks, before it started reappearing. I think the heat from the laptop slowly makes the motherboard adapt, and the problem returns. Extremely frustrating indeed.
I hope I can one day afford a Macbook Air, but until then, I don't want to throw more money after my poor macbook (which I pronbably can't sell anyway, like previous mac's I've owned, the day get a new. It's too worn out + battery got only 5min on a full charge).
I think it's wisest to rather save the money for a Macbook Air, and try to survive until then. Therefor I was hoping someone could help me with a temporary solution.
In Windows 7, using the Nvidia Control Panel to apply color management, I was able to adjust the individual color output values, and thereby remove the the screen issue! Maybe the colors are not as good anymore, but it sure beats not getting a headache after 10minutes trying to read an article.
I tried the same thing on the mac, using Preferences>Displays>Color>Calibrate, but this guide is much harder to use to get a decent result (since only the last 2 options really makes a difference, but changes the colors completely, which I can't change by going back to the first color settings since then it just undos the last step I just did. I'm currently writing this with a very blue pale screen.
I also tried to use ColorSync Utility, expecting to enter values manually, but contrary to the articles I read about using ColorSync, I cannot edit the values in the color profile I created (I can only change the ASCII text input fields). Trying to save the profile gives me the error 'The Document "screenbug.icc" could not be saved.'
I tried to look for alternative color calibration software, but most of them required hardware, or expensive full version to unlock the settings I needed (like SuperCal).
I hope some tech savy users out there that can help me, or at least make my life with my macbook less of a pain.
All help is much appreciated!!
PS: I've been a loyal Mac user since always. Few things I've learned is:
1) Don't buy the first version of new hardware. Wait about a month for reviews, to check for issues. I had a problem with an expensive MacPro that had to be replaced, but luckily for free since it was Apple's mistake. Sometimes Apple products also get minor internal changes/fixes without announcements, to help solve reported issues from early buyers.
3) Take care of you Mac, especially so because you can often sell your used Mac's for quite a value the day you want to upgrade. I've sold about 3 Mac's in my lifetime, for quite a gain, though I don't expect this macbook to do as well, if at all. But it's normally something to be cautious about.
3) Don't order custom configurations from the Apple Store, if you can live without it (+ it's usually crazy overprices). I payed extra to get the NVidia GeForce 9600M, and was happy with it for the first couple of years, but is now causing me all the problems I have today + made my Macbook worthless.
Stick with what the default configuration if possible, as other configurations might not have been tested carefully.

Who exactly is your comment "I am asking you to fix this problem soon" directed at?
Remember that you are posting on a user to user forum so nobody can really help you. If you want to give feedback to Apple, then contact them directly at http://www.apple.com/feedback.
Also, if you have an iPhone 3G and iOS 4.2.1 is the latest software that you can install on your phone, then there is absolutely nothing that anyone can do to fix the problem if you want to install Skype that requires iOS 4.3 - what do you think anyone can magically do?
iPhone 3G is a very old phone now and if you want to install Skype on your phone, then you need to go out and buy a new iPhone - either a 4s or a 5. Nothing more to it. Buy a new phone.

Bridge displays color images as b&w

I assume this has something to do with settings in Bridge CS4, my platform is MacBook Pro OS 6.8.10.
This question might confuse some people. To beging with, I do shoot my images in RAW files, I even have Bridge convert them to DNG files.
Upon download the images are displayed in color as they should be for RAW files. After editing images in Camera RAW, I convert most all images to sRGB. When some of those edited images come back to Bridge, they might be presented in B&W, though no color is lost to the file upon displaying in Photoshop, and I did not edit the file to be a B&W image. I have DNG, Canon RAW, Tif and Jpeg files, and most of these are displayed in color, but some are not, and I have not figured out the missing link just yet. So to be clear, I have Jpeg color images, displaying as b&w images, but they are color images. Only b&w images should be displayed as b&w.
This problems started once I learned I could edit one image in photoshop out of a series of images, then after editing, i could bring the single photo file back to bridge, and then copy/paste image settings onto a groups of images in Bridge, and all those images would then have the same adjustments made to them as a batch edit adjustment.
But now sometimes I get a B&W display on some images even when I do not apply a Bridge settings edits, and when I never edited the image for a B&W display. I has to a setting somewhere in Bridge, and I just have not figured it out yet.
Thanks in advance for all suggestions:

Yammer asked a pertinent question that remains unanswered—is that “settings” badge (small lines-triangles-in-a-circle) shown on the B/W image thumbnails (at least). If you’re not sure, then include a screenshot of a few Bridge thumbnails where some are color and some are B/W, using the little camera icon on the web version of the forum messages.
And the answer is NO!. I only have those showing up associated with the .DNG files (Camera RAW)
Another similar question would be if you see a B/W thumbnail in Bridge, try doing a right-click (or whatever the Mac equivalent is) and choose Open in Camera Raw. Is the image in B/W or color in Camera Raw.
A <Control Click> (on MAC), opens the .jpeg file in b&w, as shown in the thumbnail.
Can you upload three versions of one of the images that display as B/W: the original PSD/raw/TIF file, a normal Save As JPG that is in color, and a Save For Web JPG that is B/W? Use something like http://www.dropbox.com/ and post a public download link to the images, here.
NO, I thought I explained that real well. Only the .jpeg file that was saved through the "Save for Web" processing ( that is, the a jpeg the goes through greater compression to reduce image file size for web display), is the image file process that produces the b&w thumbnail in Bridge ONLY. All opened images, of various file formats (ie: DNG, Psd, Tif, Jpeg, & Jpeg for Web), all present Color presentations (for editing in Photoshop, and or in display browsers). It is only the thumbnail of that particular jpeg formatting processing for Web Images that produces the b&w image "THUMBNAIL" in Bridge.
When you Save As JPG or For Web, are you ever overwriting the original image with a new one or do you always save the PS-edited image with a new name?
No, never. I leave my RAW files, as RAW originals, and work on newly names images files.
A theory about what is happening is that Bridge uses Camera Raw to generate its thumbnails, and the images that are B/W have some embedded Camera Raw setting, perhaps pasted from a different filetype, that makes CR think the image should be rendered as B/W, but when you open the images on Photoshop, you are opening them directly, without using the Camera Raw plug-in, so any embedded settings are ignored, and the image displays in its original state without the settings having been applied.
It makes since, (what you are saying), and it certainly does respond in that fashion. Your suggestion to open Ctrl Click, or Right Click to open the thumbnail in Camera RAW, was an interesting test, and the response was to open the previously save color image with a b&w thumbnail, into Camera RAW as a b&w image. So Camera RAW is responding to what is in the xmp settings that describes this images thumbnail to be displayed b&w. It is weird that a browser does not.
As to what is in the window selections for the "Save for Web" editing windows, Presets for jpeg are :
Progressive
Optimize
Embed Color Profile
And I use Embed Color Profile.
Even the Preview button at the bottom of the window, shows the color image as displaying color.
I vaguely remember about a year ago doing some CS 4 Photoshop and Bridge web tutorials from an unnamed tutoring website and guy named D_k_ . It is his fault. Just kidding, I actually enjoy those tutorial.
**** Okay, this is perhaps originating from Camera RAW presets, where you can apply previously made settings to other images and then saved them as Presets. Though I don't have this checked in Camera RAW ( still something goofy is going on there), I did find that in Bridge I can reset the individual "saved for Web" image thumbnail back to the the color image by :
Right Click (Ctrl Click, MAC) on the thumbnail
menu down to the "Development Settings" and select :
"Previous Conversion", and this presents the color thumbnail.
I have now tested all the Camera RAW settings in Camera RAW, by opening an image in each one of these :
Image Settings
Camera RAW Defaults
Previous Conversion
Custom Settings
and then reducing image file size, and saving for the web, while changing file name, and each and every one of these Settings produces a Sepia Toned thumbnail. I found out the images were a subtle Sepia Toned image by enlarging the Bridge Thumbnails bigger for a better view. So I can correct the thumbnail after it has been created, but so far, I can't get the thumbnail to be correct on first creation of the web saved jpeg image file. Regular jpeg image file thumbnails save correctly.

LCD display colors all washed out

Hi,
I bought my MacBook pro about a week ago and I've noticed that the display colors are all washed out. I have to tilt the display down in order to see the some colors.
Has anyone else experienced this?

I am not sure that 10.6.2 solved this issue.
I just transferred all the users from my PowerBook G4 to a new iMac with 10.6.2. On one of the users on the PBG4, the icons (and other images [like photos in iPhoto]) were "washed out" or "over saturated" [I am not sure how best to describe it...] The colours for all the other users on the PBG4 are fine. I tried recalibrating on the PBG4, but this made no difference. I thought this could be explained by the fact the PBG4 was getting a bit old, but the situation is the same on the new iMac as well; the same user account has these washed out/over saturated colours. Re-calibration on the iMac made no difference either.
When this account (with odd colours) first starts up, the desktop image loads and for a few (milli-) seconds the colours are OK. Then suddenly they change, as if some kind a file had been read which changes the colour balance. Does anyone know what that file could be or how to identify it? I am thinking that if it could be delete, a new default would be created and all would be well.

Colors changes on screen

OK guys I have a question? I just started to notice that I every time I press the menu key or even the a green phone key there are waves of color on the screen. Its almost like putting your finger on a plasma screen and watching the colors change.
but it only wants to do it when on certain times, not all the time!
what can I do to prevent from a major problem?

sounds like it could be a display issue
try removing the battery with power on and then replace... wait for reboot

X230 display brightness changes automatically

Hi,
I have a problem when I'm using my X230 from battery: every know and then the display brightness changes, it gets lower (even without any user activity). Also it seems that the color profile also changes, colors look washed out. After few minutes or sometimes seconds, it goes back to normal. However, I have this issue quite often.
Is there a solution? Is it something to do with my power settings?
Thank you.
Solved!

Mystery: XP display color scheme : silver can result in black on black unreadable controls

My setup is a Dell PC running XP Professional. Display Dell 1901 (also does this on Default Display). Intel 82856G Integrated Graphics driver. LabVIEW 7.1.
The color settings for the 5 controls on the attached .vi are foreground: 179 179 179 and background 255 255 255 yet some appear as black on black in the XP display color scheme : silver and some appear as black on white. By setting the XP color scheme to default, you can use the color sample and color fill tools to change whether a control will be black on black or black on white in the color scheme : silver view. It appears like there is some "magic property" that is not foreground or background color that is being copied with the color sample and fill tools.
Any ideas?

Hello,
I was a bit puzzled by this myself until someone suggested I use the "color sucker" tool to find out what the current colors of the enums were.
The color sucker tool (aka eye-dropper) can be used by selecting the paintbrush tool and holding CTRL on the keyboard. Now left-click the item you want to check the color of. Right-click any object to bring up the color picker, and look at the colors in the history. The one furthest to the right (that isn't "empty") is the color you just picked up with the color sucker.
You'll notice that on the problematic enums, the background color is "Hilight Text". This is a system color that will change depending on the theme you use. On the silver theme, it is black or near-black. On the others it is white or near-white.
When picking colors, you might want to be careful to watch the text next to the curently selected color box. If it has RGB values, this is safe (theme-independent). It's also safe to use named colors in the "User" list, such as "Control Background". But if the named color is a system color, it can change depending on your theme.
Disclaimer: I don't know if color sucker or eye dropper is the "official" term for this tool.
