Does Finder cover flow ignore monitor profile/wide gamut for JPG?

Hi,
beeing a proud (?) owner of a wide gammut display I use a special monitor profile to see correct colour which of course only works in applications which support it. I expect the Finder to be such an application at it mostly is.
ButI found on my System with Lion 10.7.3 that my JPGs display wrong/oversaturated in the finder cover flow.
This is independant of embedded or not embedded ICC profiles in the JPGs, but just an issue with the selected monitor profile.
The error is NOT observed e.g. for JPEG 2000 files!
The error is NOT observed for other image display options within the finder, so only the cover flow is effected!
Further I can not remember to have seen it earlier in Snow Leopard.
Can anybody also see this issue?
Thanks for any feedback!

I don't have a Wide Gamut monitor, just a 24" iMac/2007, here one jpg in Preview on left & Cover Flow on right...

  • Finder Cover Flow Background

    Has anyone noticed the Finder Cover Flow Background in Lion is very distracting?  Let me explain...  On my MacBook Pro, mid 2009 (with or without the Cinema Display attached) it shows up as a "glowing gradient" where the white is very overpowering.  I also put Lion on my daughters MBP (which is older) and hers looks very normal.  Seems odd, but I'm confident that someone has a solution.
    I've been researching and havne't found any answers.  It may just be that I'm not searching correctly for the answer!
    Does anyone know how to change the cover flow background to a solid color?  Also the text under the icon shows up dark and hard to read (not a biggie there though).  I tried also to look at the finder defaults in Terminal to see what there might be and didn't see anything.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.  It's an annoyance and nothing more than that.

    You're correct, that would help!!!
    It's a nice Hollywood effect.
    Here's a screen shot of cover flow from my iTunes.  Notice the nice black background (and EWF).
    Something had to get changed somewhere because the text is black also.  This was a fresh install of Lion on a newly formatted drive so I can't blame it on leftover stuff from SL.  I haven't run any scripts or anything to change things so I thought maybe there was something in System Preferences and didn't know it.  I spent a while looking through it and found nothing.
    Again, your help is much appreciated.

  • Strange sparkling graphics glitch in finder cover flow view!

    Hi there,
    Recently my finder cover flow view has been displaying what can be described as 'sparkling' effects around the folders/icons when i move from one file to another (sparkling stops when movement of icons does). The sparkling effect can be described as small white dots flashing then disappearing at random points on the black background of the cover flow view. This does not happen all the time and seems to be more prevalent when there different icons next to one another. just wondered if anyone else is having this issue and if anyone can offer me some advise? Thanks.

  • Force Cover Flow to use a particular artwork for a tv show?

    I had a mix up with Cover Flow before but that turned out to just be me getting confused with the way it displayed artwork for various series of a tv show. But now it really is taking the ****.
    The scenario is this, I ripped a tv show from a DVD, several series of it. Put the first series in, gave every episode individual artwork, gave it a programme name, unique Episode ID that was incremental and also a episode number, also incremental.
    This seemed to work fine. Every episode was in order, and Cover flow showed the first episode's artwork as the series artwork which is what I thought it was supposed to do.
    I've been trying to put in the second series, did it exactly the same way. Except after quitting iTunes and restarting it, Cover Flow has idiotically decided to display the artwork for one of the other episodes, not the first one of which I have special artwork set for and for. There is no error in the Episode ID incremental numbers or the Series Number or the Episode Numbers, they're all correct, I've done my usual multi-check and delete then re-add. It just seems to like using the artwork for the eleventh episode as opposed to the first.
    So how can I force Cover flow to display a particular artwork for a show? I probably wouldn't mind so much but its choices are reflected on my Apple TV and it just looks a bit crap on that.

    Forget it. Obviously no one knows.

  • Changing background color in Finder Cover Flow view possible ?

    Hi,
    is there any possibility to change the color of the background in the Cover Flow view of Finder ??
    Thanks for some answers

    http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=290539
    If you search for "osx change finder window color" you will find a method (mentioned in the linked topic but not detailed) for doing this in Panther, but it may not work in Tiger. It also requires some pretty basic surgery on the OS files which is inadvisable unless you really don't care if you hose your system. Then there's Shapeshifter mentioned in the link. Again, these kind of things are trying to play with the OS at a basic level and are generally ill advised unless you really don't mind experimenting with your computer and don't care if you have to reinstall all your OS and files at some stage. They can cause unpredictable behavior with upgrades and I would not use them without regular backups.

  • Subtle Mac Humor in Finder "Cover Flow" View

    Has anyone else noticed this?
    When I use the "Cover Flow" view mode when looking for other computers on my office network via the Finder, the Macs on the network are displayed as the newest anodized aluminum iMacs.
    The PCs are shown as drab beige CRT monitors, with MicroSoft's "Blue Screen of Death" message on the monitors.
    Someone at Apple has a wicked sense of humor.
    Gotta love it!

  • 10.9.3 finder cover flow doesn't save image size

    I went from Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to Mavericks 10.9.3. Everything went ok, but I have one annoying problem though.
    Everytime I open a cover flow window in Finder I have to resize the image preview section. The Finder window size is saved,
    but not the actual image size of the cover flow. It always goes back to a default, very small, size everytime I reopen the Finder window.
    Didn't have this problem in Snow Leopard. It worked great. I just know one other person with the same problem. He just bought his MacBook Pro with Mavericks
    and I am on a late 09 MacBook. So it shouldn't be a problem with just my Mac and Mavericks.
    So my question is;
    Will there be any solution to this soon? Maybe a program update to be released, regarding this issue?
    Thank you for any feedback!

    Ok, more information for anyone that might care. The wake-up seems to be the familiar dark wake in order to go into hibernate mode. Except now, it's a death wake. Looking at the logs, I see that it happens exactly 70 minutes after sleeping, even though hibernatemode = 0 (which shouldn't hibernate at all!)
    So my power settings look like this:
    Currently in use:
    standbydelay         4200
    standby              1
    halfdim              1
    hibernatefile        /var/vm/sleepimage
    darkwakes            0
    gpuswitch            2
    disksleep            10
    sleep                10
    autopoweroffdelay    14400
    hibernatemode        0
    autopoweroff         1
    ttyskeepawake        1
    displaysleep         2
    acwake               0
    lidwake              1
    standbymode is 70 minutes, what a coincidence. I'm going to try setting it to 0 and see what that does.

  • Finder Cover Flow is broken and doesn't show the correct file I click on

    When I go into my Downloads and press the spacebar to preview a photo, it will preview the photo before it for some weird reason.
    Example:
    I highlight and press space for "Photo 2", but instead it will show "Photo 1" in the Cover Flow and will Preview that instead.

    Totally broken for me too. This is a giant, gaping hole in the OS LOL. I fire up a Finder window w/ cover flow view, erase a file, and now the highlighted image in the list below is off by one file and it doesn't remove the preview of the just-deleted file in the Cover Flow pane. Sad. This is just an embarrassing bug Big A. How do you not fix this before going public with a major point release? Not to mention the scrolling issue.

  • Finder/Cover Flow is out of sync by one file?

    Hi all, I've had this problem for a while and it's really frustrating.In Finder using the 'Cover Flow' option, my files are out of sync by one file. By 'out of sync', I mean the the bottom half of the screen is showing one file but the top half of the screen is 'previewing' the wrong file by one. It's only off by one file, but this is really annoying.
    When I use the view options 'Icons', 'list' or 'columns' I don't have this problem.What can I do?
    Thanks for any help!

    com.apple.systemuiserver.plist and com.apple.finder.plist
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Preferences/. Move the .plists to your desktop.
    Re-launch Finder by loggin out/in and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the same, return the .plist to where you got it  from, overwriting the newer ones.
    Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
    You might need to redo the View settings after an update.
    If you look at the 'More Like This' box (top right) it seems the Cover Flow view is having problems.

  • Finder Cover Flow image preview size is small, cannot be adjusted and showing empty blank previews in Mavericks

    When using Cover Flow the image preview in the main window (not the thumbnail list at the bottom) images appear but only use about 1/2 of the window space available.  It is also showing black/blank preview images as I scroll through the files even though they are cached. 
    I enlarge the Finder to fill my 27 inch display, slide the size adjustment handle (three lines under the file name preview) all the way down as far as I can.  The preview only enlarges to a certain point leaving the upper half of the window unused.  I wish to enlarge the cover flow preview images to use this window space even if it affects the overlapping or number of cover flow images avaialble in the window.    I am assuming this is becasue of the nature of cover flow showing the two previous and two following images to the left and right of the previewed image.  As I scroll left and right occsionally one of the upcoming images will appear as and empty preview as well.  It's all goofed up.
    Hoping for any suggestions.
    I have seen articles about using terminal to adjust "flow height" but never anything substainial that seemend like an informed solution.

    I also would like to know if there is an answer to this.  My landscape photos always display with a third of the cover flow window as blank empty space (matching your screenshot).  This seems like such a waste.  Is there any way to change the "padding" between the top of the finder bar and the cover flow preview?
