Folder colors displaying incorrectly

just got my new 20" imac. transferred over everything from my g5 imac with minimal problems. but i'm having an issue with the customized colors of some folders.
i set the colors on a folder and they look fine. then i close out the finder window and bring it back up to find the colors are very wrong. does anyone else have this problem? what i noticed is that in RGB selector, it swaps the values for red and green. weird right?
i tried deleting the .DS_Store files, deleting the finder prefs file, creating a new user, etc.
i'm wondering if this has anything to do with the 256mb vram issue...
any thoughts?
thx in advance,

  • Photoshop CS3 Colors Displaying Incorrectly

    I just bought a copy of Photoshop CS3 and I have it installed on my desktop and my laptop.  Photoshop CS3 is working fine on my laptop, but the colors aren't displaying correctly on my desktop.  I'll construct an image, save it and open it in another program or a browser, and the colors will be a little different.  I've attached a screenshot to better illustrate my point.  I'm stumped and any help with this is appreciated.

    Mr Technique
    In case you don't undertand, that is one technique that does not work.
    You would be advised NOT to pass it on to any friends who have colour problems on their display.
    If you want to know why it is wrong, read this:

  • Colors display incorrectly in CS4 - i.e. white looks yellow

    I recently bought CS4 and have noticed that everything displays differently in Photoshop than anywhere else. I can not get a pure white. Pure white looks yellow, like french vanilla ice cream.
    I have tried everything I can think of to rectify this situation. I have tried changing color profiles, etc. but I obviously don't know what I'm doing, because none of the changes have any effect.
    I really need to get this fixed. I have been a Photoshop user for 15 years, and throughout all the versions I've used prior to this one, everything displays properly. I am BUGGED by this, big time. Such expensive software should work right.
    I am using a 22" Samsung LCD monitor, if that makes any difference.
    I can send screen shots to anyone... just let me know.
    Thanks,
    Blaine

    Look for an entry about this problem in this forum's FAQ section. There are a couple links (all leading to the same place) at the top of the thread index.

  • Messed up color display and resolution because of mini-DVI to video adapter

    Once I connected the mini-DVI to video adapter to the tv and got weird colors on my screen for a while but then it worked out, then after a while I disconnected the cable and turned my computer off. After that, everytime I turned my macbook on, the color is fine for two seconds and then it turns into a weird offset color, really bright colors, kinda sketchy and just a few colors, and a weird resolution and display obviously, but then I just connect my Mini-DVI to video adapter and disconnect it again (quickly) and the color returns to normal. How can I make the normal colors stay and not have to connect the mini-DVI to video adapater everytime I want to see the normal color display and resolution??
    please help!

    Open the Universal Access pane of System Preferences, click on Seeing, turn off the White on Black, VoiceOver, and Zoom options, and drag the Contrast slider all the way to the left. If the issue persists, create a new folder on the desktop, drag half of the items from the Library/Preferences/ folder of the item in the Finder's sidebar with the house icon into it, and narrow down the files until you've isolated the one responsible.

  • Deluge and KDE - displaying incorrectly for one user only

    My deluge (and possibly other gtk apps) are being displayed incorrectly in KDE.  You can see the screenshot attached, but the thing I mostly notice is the progress bar.  On my laptop, as well as any other user account on the PC in question, it's a very blue progress bar (so 100% torrents will be all blue, 0% no blue, and obviously in between as % increases).  In the past I've messed with various gtk/kde rendering apps (so that gtk apps will display "correctly" in KDE), but I don't currently have any installed.  I also have rm'ed the configs in question per the wiki ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Un … plications ).  I have tried removing the deluge config for my current user and it still doesn't "fix" the issue.  I've gone through kde system settings to setting all display options to default-type options (which is what my laptop is set to).
    Just wondering if anyone had any thoughts on where I could look to fix this?  It's mostly an annoyance, but I've been trying to fix it for a while now so thought I'd finally ask for some help.
    EDIT: I realize this should be in the Desktop/Apps sections, so if a mod could move it for me, that would be much appreciated.

    1. You said the projects were all saved "to a shared folder." Do you mean THE Shared folder? Your Mac's Users folder should list two Users, plus a folder named "Shared". Is that the folder you mean?
    2. The trouble is that an iMovie project isn't actually a file. It's a special kind of folder called a package, which contains other files and folders. (To look inside the package, Control-Click on the package icon and choose "Show Package Contents" from the popUp menu.)
    3. When YOU are the user and you create a new iMovie project, the package and everything it contains is configured with you as the owner. You are the designated owner of all the items that comprise the project. No one else can Write to the project.
    4. To change that, you have to change the project package into a normal Finder folder, adjust its permissions and the permissions of all the contents of that folder, then change it back into an iMovie package.
    Here's how:
    In the Finder, choose Finder > Preferences. Click Advanced and turn ON "Show all file extensions".
    The name of your iMovie project "My Sample Project" is now displayed as "My Sample Project.iMovieProject" in the Finder.
    Remove ".iMovieProject" from the project name, removing the period. When the Finder asks, say OK.
    The project package has now turned into a folder. Select the folder and choose Get Info.
    Set Others permissions to "Read & Write". Then click "Apply to enclosed items". When the Finder asks, say OK.
    Select the folder name again and add the extension ".iMovieProject" to the name. The folder will change back to an iMovie package.
    The package will now allow anyone to Read and Write to the project.
    Karl
    PS: This solution isn't very handy, obviously, but it does the job. A better solution is to buy an external hard drive, and configure it to Ignore permissions. (In the Get Info window for the disk.) That lets both users save projects to the drive without permission issues.

  • Color Display for PDF Files Creative Cloud in Browser View

    I have noticed that there is a great difference in color display between a PDF and .ai/eps files. When viewed in the browser there seems to be no ICC taking affect for PDF files even though options to include the profiles, etc in output were selected. This makes it hard to use as a tool when showing clients proofs via the browser as they will never see proper color. I know color will vary between monitors but the difference is huge for some colors. Like a dark almost Navy Blue appearing like a vibrant pen ink blue. On a Mac when you use the quick spacebar preview the correct color shows for all versions of file type but in the browsers it shows the color incorrectly. Have tried this so far on the Mac in in Safari, Chrome and Firefox. Even Google Drive can display all the file types correctly with correct color although the way it shows eps files is a bit off. That I don't mind as I rarely save eps files anymore.
    Is there something I am missing or is this a defect in the browser display?
    The other possible option would be to flip my thinking and save everything as .ai files with PDF compatibility turned on and then have to tell clients that they should be able to open that ai file in Acrobat. At the moment I save everything as PDF files with Illustrator compatibility turned on.

    Can anyone throw light on this. I'm facing same problem.

  • Icon in Apps folder not displaying correctly

    Hi there,
    It seems that whenever I download and install a new program into my Applications folder, the icon appears incorrectly in Grid View. For example, I just downloaded a program called Dragster, installed it and dragged it into my Applications folder. However now, when I click on 'Applications' on the dock, the icon for Dragster is white with a circle and line through it (similar to a non-smoking type of sign).
    If I drag the icon to the Desktop and then back into Applications again, the icon appears as normal - the correct icon for that folder. Why does this happen? Why does the icon display incorrectly when I drag the program directly to my Applications folder... this is what I am supposed to do isn't it (am a reasonably new mac user)?
    Thanks in advance.
    Nicola
    P.S. I have posted this question previously but unfortunately didn't find an answer :o(

    Finder attributes are stored in an invisible file called .DS_Store, which gets created in every folder opened in Finder. I can't explain why it works the second time you drag it there and not the first time. But you might try deleting that file.
    You can do this using Terminal commands. If you are not a Unix guru, you can download a great free utility called TinkerTool.
    http://www.bresink.de/osx/TinkerTool.html
    On the program's Finder screen, check the box to show hidden files, then relaunch Finder. Locate the .DS_Store file in the Applications folder and drag it to the Trash to delete. Relaunch Finder again. See of the problem still recurs.

  • BUG: Info panel displays incorrect Hue values

    Recently, I've been doing a lot of work with color in Fireworks and came across the following bug, which appears to be a longstanding issue within the application. Rather than keeping it to myself, I figured I'd post it here in addition to submitting a bug report with Adobe. So here it is...
    Hue values displayed within the Info panel (in HSB mode) do not consistently match the values displayed in the Color Mixer panel—including basic colors such as pure Yellow, Cyan, and Magenta. The values are 1 degree off—most often below the Color Mixer value, but sometimes above (as with Magenta). This holds true whether using with the Eyedropper tool or the Color Picker swatches eyedropper, and whether sampling from the canvas or from swatches.
    For example, the following inconsistencies were observed when sampling the centermost horizontal strip within CS6's default Color Cubes swatches picker. Note that over 50% of these colors are affected by the issue.
    The Color Mixer seems to display the correct values, while the Info panel's values appear to be incorrect. Note that this issue affects the HSB mode only; the RGB and Hex values are consistent between both panels.
    This bug has been observed in Fireworks CS6, Fireworks CS5.1 and Fireworks 8 on Mac OS 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard).
    Here's the bug report submitted for this issue:
    Product name: Fireworks
    Product Version: 12.0.0.236
    Product Language: English
    Your operating system: Mac OS 10.6.8 (Intel-based)
    ******BUG******
    Concise problem statement: The Info panel displays incorrect Hue values for many colors—including pure Yellow, Cyan, and Magenta. The Hue values are usually 1 degree below the value displayed in the Color Mixer panel (e.g., 59 instead of 60 for Yellow) but sometimes 1 degree above (e.g., 301 instead of 300 for Magenta). This is true whether using the Eyedropper tool or the Color Picker swatches eyedropper, and whether sampling from the canvas or from swatches.
    Steps to reproduce bug:
    In an open Fireworks document, open the Info, Color Mixer, and Swatches panels. Within the Color Mixer and Info panels, set the color mode to HSB.
    Draw a Rectangle and set its fill to Yellow (#FFFF00) using the Color Picker.
    Observe the Hue values displayed in the Color Mixer and Info panels.
    Select the Eyedropper (I) tool, and sample the rectangle's fill color. Again, observe the Hue values displayed in both the Color Mixer and Info panels.
    Results: In both steps 3 and 4, the Hue value for pure Yellow (#ffff00) appears as 60 degrees in the Color Mixer panel but 59 degrees in the Info panel.
    Expected results: The Hue for pure Yellow (#ffff00) should appear as 60 degrees in both panels.
    Note that this issue affects the Info panel's HSB mode only; the RGB and Hex values are consistent between panels. Also note that this bug affects over 50% of the "pure" hues within CS6's Color Cubes swatches palette. For more info, see the following forum post:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1083391
    This bug has been observed in Fireworks CS6, CS5.1 and FW8 on Mac OS 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard).

    I haven't done anything other than add my footage to the timeline. I have 2 layers (1 targa seq and 1 png seq). As I move my mouse from the Timeline to the Comp Panel, the color values flash for a split second and go away. If I press Opt+1 (2, 3, and 4) the Info Panel displays the color for that one pixel but the values go blank as soon as I move my mouse. This happens in the Comp Panel mostly. If I open a Footage or Layer Panel, sometimes the values show, sometimes not. Never had this issue in previous versions.

    Hi, If you are using Windows Vista or Windows 7, before you can use any of the right-to-left features in Microsoft Office, or even
    correctly display right-to-left scripts, you must
    Add an input language and
    enable the keyboard layout for the right-to-left language.
    Please also check if you have set Outlook to use UTF-8:
    1. Click the orange "File" tab in the top left corner of the Outlook 2010 window and click "Options" on the pull-down menu. A new window titled "Outlook Options" appears.
    2. Click the "Advanced" heading on the left side of the window and then scroll to the "International Options" heading near the bottom.
    3. Place a check in the box labeled "Automatically select encoding for outgoing messages" and click "Unicode (UTF-8)" on the drop-down menu.
    4. Place a check in the box labeled "Automatically select encoding for outgoing vCards" and click "Unicode (UTF-8)" on the drop-down menu.
    5. Place a check in the box labeled "Allow UTF-8 support for the mailto: protocol."
    6. Click "OK."

  • IPhoto displays incorrect dates for photos imported from iPod

    I recently purchased the iPod Camera Connector for use with my 4G iPod with color display (iPod Photo). I took a few pictures on my Canon SD110 digital camera and used the Camera Connector to copy the pictures to my iPod. I then plugged the iPod into the computer, opened iPhoto, and imported these pictures from the iPod. All of this worked without a hitch.
    However, I noticed that the roll of images that iPhoto created is dated incorrectly (it says 12.31.2000). The photos themselves have the correct date (5.21.2007) but the incorrect time (3:15p instead of 6:15p).
    My camera, computer, and iPod are all set to the correct date and time. Any idea what's causing this? It's not a particularly big deal as I can just change the dates on the rolls to match what the photos say (and adjust the times on the photos to be 3 hours ahead), but I shouldn't have to do this if all of the date/time information is set correctly.

    All photos from the My Photo Stream go into a monthly Event.  If you sort your Events by Date - Descending the most recent Events will be at the top of the Event window.  The monthly Events will look like this:

  • Iphone 5s incoming call number displays incorrectly.

    Whenever I call my wife's Iphone from work, the number displays incorrectly on her caller ID.  It is always dropping the third number of the area code, so if my work number was 123-456-7890, then when I call her it shows up on her phone as 124-567-890, it doesn't even show a ten digit number.  So far I have noticed that it only happens when I call her from the landlines at my work.  I also have the exact same iphone 5s on the same carrier and the numbers display perfectly fine on my phone so I feel like it's some setting in the phone.  Before switching to an iphone we had her contacts imported from an old Verizon flip phone, not sure if that has anything to do with it.  Has anyone seen or heard of a similar issue?
    Thanks,
    Dan

    By the way I have completely reset all content and settings several times, tried turning off international assist, tried several suggestions I found online dealing with the sim pin, switched to a different phone to have the same thing happen on that phone also.  I have the same exact iphone 5s and carrier and service plan and the numbers appear perfectly on my phone.  I'm so confused why this is happening.

  • Storage values under about this mac displaying incorrectly, but amount of space used IS correct. Any ideas?

    I noticed recently that the "storage" under "about this mac" is displaying incorrectly. It doesn't show the correct values for my photos, videos, and audio files. It classifies this data under "other". I have been searching all over the internet, I went to the Apple genius bar yesterday and they recommended I re-install OSX. I did and it still shows up incorrectly. They were baffled, said they never really came across this issue. I have tried re-indexing spotlight, that didn't seem to help.
    The amount of storage used IS correct. It just doesn't show up under the correct categories in storage, under about this mac. Also, the computer seems to work fine. No real issues. It's a mid 2012 MBP. 500gb hard drive. Most recent OSX is installed.
    I DO NOT think it is local snapshots, cause my backups category is small and the amount of space used and free is correct. I have downloaded omnidisk sweeper to confirm this.
    I have seen a few posts on here and around the web referring to this, but no real answers. I have also reviewed Pondini's info on this to no avail.
    Does anyone have any ideas?!?!

    Also,
    I had installed a version of parallels with windows 7, but deleted it. Would parallels be causing my computer to index incorrectly? I I used appcleaner to delete all the parallels files so I do not have it anymore.
