Glass instead of matte

I do a lot of printing and have managed, after much trial and error, to match my matte screen image on my Powerbook G4 with my Epson printer output. I was told by an Apple store person that while images on the glass screen of the iMac shows brighter colors, this very feature would make it difficult to match to a printer output. Any thought on this? Also, are there problems with room light reflections?

msim: Right. I was referring to some articles claiming Apple was bringing back the matte display option. Here are Apple's words from their site where you can choose the antiglare option (for 50 extra bucks in the U.S.!):
"About glossy and antiglare
Choose the glossy widescreen display to make your graphics, photos, and videos appear with richer colors and deeper blacks — great for watching DVD movies. If you prefer a display with antiglare coating for a matte rather than glossy viewing experience, choose the antiglare widescreen display.
Important note:
The actual size of the display is the same (15-inch diagonal) on both models. The antiglare display has a silver frame (border) around the display."
It's really a tough call. There are so many differing opinions on the glossy display, and not just from pros. Some people are simply too distracted by the reflections, while others have come to love it, even if they had reservations at first.
Since you'll mostly be working in controlled lighting spaces, you may be fine with the glossy. They're certainly clear and bright. The Apple store I went to had them side by side with the antiglare, so if you're near one I would definitely take a look. iPhoto had the same photos loaded in each machine so it was easy to compare.
Another option is to go with the glossy and then if you really don't like it, apply one of the third-party antiglare films out there, which I've heard work well.

  • Magnifying glass instead of res. change / sidescrolling in Opera

    1) when using the thinkvantage Fn+Space the screen resolution goes down. Is it possible, to start the magnifying glass instead of resolution changing?
    2)
    I tried a few tutorials using sidescrolling with Opera, but was not successfull.  Sidescrolling is still not working.
    editing tp3table.dat didn't help.

    Hello mate,
    Screen magnifier doest work under windows 7. Try with your graphics driver if there's an option.
    For the scrolling apparently there's a compatibility problem with Opera. Try to download the latest driver for your touchpad and see if there is a fix.
    Apparently is tp4table.dat you have to edit. there's a link : http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=92812

  • Is it possible to change the shattered glass instead of the LCD screen?

    I've dropped my Iphone 5 and the glass has shattered, just curious if its possible to just change the glass in front of the LCD screen or if i'll just have to get the whole thing done??

    I don't understand what your issue is? Add a "Map" control to your Report and follow the wizard, on the first page Switch to "ESRI shapefile" and select your .shp file and then go on.

  • Sand-glass instead of picture on Adobe Photoshop 9 Organizer?!

    Hello,
    if I import pictures from my camera I cannot see the picture on Photoshop Elements 9 Organizer anymore but in return a sand-glass. If I double click the sand-glass the picture is shown.
    It is as if the picture is hidden behind the sand-glass. What can I do?

    Hi,
    Right click on these images and select Update thumbnail.
    If there are mutliple images, select them all and then click EDIT>Update thumbnail.

  • Hour glass instead of photos

    down load fuji hs10 but now thumbnails show hour glass and not pic. click on houg glass and it opens. never happened before. using camera for 3yrs and no problems. any ideas
    (thread title edited by forum  host)

    Try selecting the hourglass thumbnails (Shift+Click) or (Ctrl+click) then click on the top menu
    Edit >> Update Thumbnail For Selected Items
    If that doesn’t work close Elements and delete the thumbnail cache which sometime becomes corrupted.
    Go to My Computer and click on local disk C and follow the path to the My Catalog folder.
    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Catalog Folders\My Calalog
    Inside the My Catalog folder (or whatever name you gave your catalog) you should find a CACHE file:
    thumb.5.cache
    Highlight that file and delete it.
    After deleting that file restart the elements Organizer and wait whilst it regenerates thumbnails.
    N.B if you can’t see Application Data when you click on the All users folder, it may be a hidden system file. In that case click on Tools >> Folder Options and then select the View Tab. Click the radio button to show hidden files and folders, then click Apply and then OK.

  • Replacement X220 Screen Glossy instead of Matte

    Hey Guys,
    I purchased an X220 a few weeks back and I recently noticed a couple of defects on the display in the way of white spots. I called Lenovo and they sent an onsite guy to replace it earlier today. What the tech brought to replace my panel turned out to be a Refurb panel that was pretty significanly marred with surface scratches. To make matters worse, I couldn't even tell if it was the correct panel. Unlike the original display, the new screen is EXTREMELY glossy. As far as I can tell, the X220s only come with one IPS panel manufacturer so it didn't make sense that I got a different panel. For a while I thought I got the TN panel instead but the viewing angles are not bad and the screen does not go negative when i look at it from extreme angles.
    Luckily for me, this replacement panel was somewhat broken as well so the ticket got reopened for another new screen. I'm a bit afraid of them trying to stick me with another messed up refurb. What can I do about this? I called Lenovo and they said that it should be the right part. I really dont want a glossy screen =(
    Best,
    Lawrence
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Right you are! And thanks!
    I signed a letter my local tech wrote for me to be responsible for any damage, then hooked the protective film with my fingernail - the edges are almost impossible to see - and peeled it off, so the warranty repair could finally be completed and the machine returned to me.
    Why the hell isn't there a removal sticker on the film or note packed with the panel?!
    My local tech talked by phone with three people at IBM/Lenovo, and none of them knew about the film, telling him to just order yet another panel. The many people I talked to in Support and Parts were equally unknowledgeable and unhelpful.
    The good news is that the new panel is much improved over the original panel, with about 80% less ghosting (now almost impossible to see), and about 80% less backlight leak (not that bad to begin with). Whereas I rated the original panel good, I rate the replacement panel as very good.
    Hope that helps,
    John

  • MacBook glass on a MBP?

    I bought a refurbished 13" MBP from Apple about three weeks ago. I just noticed that on the screen glass, instead of "MacBook Pro", it reads only "MacBook". I definitely have a MBP, because I have the SD Slot, FW800, etc.
    Is this something I should take to my closest Apple Store for inspection?

    Is this something I should take to my closest Apple Store for inspection?
    Yes - in terms of usability it probably isn't a big deal but for resale value and even perhaps warranty repair issues this should be settled quickly.

  • My iPhone 4 is fell down and front glass is broken

    Hi I drop my iPhone and the front glass is broken :( please anyone tell me where can I replace it in Melbourne ? And how much it will cost ? , I have warranty for my phone .

    Apple store staff told me to pay $200: they will not replace the glass, instead, they will give me a refurbished one.  While traveling New Orleans, I saw a small corner shop inside a shopping mall, and they replace the front glass for $150 and it would take about 20 mins.  I did not have the service because I was away from home. But at least I learned the price range.

  • Imac for Pro Digital Photography....

    I do quite a bit of digital photography with high-end digital backs, was wondering if there would be a significant difference in buying a Mac Pro versus the 2.8 extreme or the 2.4 Imac with an equivalent amount of ram, say 4 gigs. The cost would be greater off course going the Mac Pro route including monitor etc. and less portable. And the expandability issue, which really isn't a problem since I use quite a bit of external drives.
    Currently I'm using a first generation intel Imac 20' been having a few connection issues with the camera, not quite sure if it's software or hardware but still get good results with this machine.
    I have never used a Mac Pro for this application so not sure if there truly is a mind blowing difference.
    I like the portability of the Imac and the quick set up. Also I've heard some rumors about the glossy screen being an issue.
    Any comments would be appreciated.
    Much Thanks.
    .

    Never buy a sweater without trying it on.
    Visit an Apple Store or make a query at your local Mac users group. I know we have lots of pro & amateur photographers in our MUG (especially in the Ps & Ps Elements SIG) who are always showing each other stuff on their computers.
    I have found that many people who do a LOT of digital photography are peculiar in that they like to rely on the evidence of their own eyes more than the opinions of others.
    The glossy screen is NOT an issue any more than the glossy inside of the windshield of your car is an issue. It is entirely POSSIBLE to focus on your reflection in your windshield while driving instead of looking through it, but the results are not encouraging. Its a matter of perception, not vision. The human visual system (in more developed examples of the species) quickly sees through the glass instead of focusing on it.

  • IPhone 4s screen can't be scratched

    I've got an iPhone 4s like 6 months ago. I protect my screen with a screen protector, but my friends told me that iPhone's screen can't be scratched, its this true?

    Of course it's not true. It's made of glass. No matter how hard the glass is, it can be scratched.
    As a practical matter, I never use screen protectors and I've had iPhones since the original in '07. I've never had scratches on the screen.

  • Mountain Lion Desktop crash? Randomly it returns me to the login screen and I have restart all my apps

    So after install of Mountain Lion (never happened before) my desktop crashes and it returns me to the login screen.  After I login I have to restart all my apps.
    One morning this happened 5+ times in under an hour.  So my productivity has gone down :-(
    I work around this by only running three apps (finder, terminal & firefox), and then it sees to only happen 2-3 times a day...sigh.
    The only other odd thing and have no idea if it is related is that firefox was showing some animated image from the olympics and when I had it on one screen it was fine, when I had the window on the other screen, the image was not the right image, it looked like it had reached into the screen buffer of other applications and was displaying that (e.g. where there was a scrolling flame for the right image, there was some scrolling upside down text from my terminal when I had it on the other screen where the flame was supposed to be).
    An help on how to debug/solve would be helpful.

    You're welcome. If you use Zoom often try the new show controller feature. It's below where you turned zoom off. Once you turn it on you can use it to turn Zoom on and off. Plus you can use zoom as a magnifying glass instead of full screen.

  • I AM SWITCHING TO A MBP FOR GRAD SCHOOL & TO REPLACE MY DEAD DELL.

    (I should say I am using a brother's mac now so anything that you see in the area of personal profile stuff, is not mine. There is nothing that should be about me or my computer.)
    Hey- I thank you for at least attempting to see what it is I am needing, and if you can, please feel free to give me any suggestions. I will use them as just that-suggestions-in case I might need ones. So please if you feel you can help me, tell me your situation. I will be the one who ultimately decides if it is something I want to look more into. I am headed to an architecture/planning program that has some serious IT requirements. I have never used a MBP, 17" with the intense graphics set-up it has. I have had some experience with Tiger, but none with Leopard and SL. OK, that is my "brief" intro so you kind of know where I am coming from. finally, I am not going into this like I am buying an iPod, some serious help from the school, the Dean of the Program, the Assoc. of Professional and Academic Architectures (which I have been a member of for sometime), and a few friends from way back who have finished and successfully passed the program and some licensing exams required. All of them had their say on the computer to use and if it was a Mac, much more info as given.
    1. Any good/bad experience with the latest MBP and I hope to have the SL installed. If it does not come installed, I will install it. Any thoughts on using what basically sounds like a fine tuned Leopard OS? I have to have several programs that require a lot of power and memory, especially CAD. So, I am getting all the RAM I can at his point. I have been told to not get Apple ram, but I have decided to get the ram from apple and just max out the bays so it is covered under applecare and I am trying to avoid as many potential problems during the program with the computer and the external hard drive for back-ups as possible. (Do not want to have to remove off brand ram and install the ram that came with the MBP before they will service it all during finals; if I can help it.)
    2. any suggestions on Apple or other brand (Targus, etc.) who have quality carrying cases for this MBP 17".
    3. any thoughts on the matte compared to the glossy display? I am probably going with the matte display.
    4. any good articles by Apple on this site that addresses basic maintenance requirements. I understand with Apple computers the less the better, but it seems like I am reading more and more articles on routine care and if no applecare was purchased, and it turned out to be a big problem, I would not know what to do.
    5. I do need to max out on ram, but I really do not need the 2 intense graphic set-up this machine has; especially one have its own dedicated source. I might be a good ting in the 3 or 4th year but I really have not looked into this like I should. Is the 17" the only one that has this type of dual-graphic display?
    6. I know you all hate long posts, but the last question is what people think about that new mouse? I am worried about learning the track-pad so the mouse might be a little better. I am heading to the Apple Store today to try one out. Hopefully they have this available.
    I really appreciate any pointers you have given me-even if you do not think they will not be helpful. I have learned so much on various forums from these type of posts, once I get through all the BS. There are a lot of people who come to these just to play games, but some very educated people too and to give others your help is a great thing to do. So thanks!!

    Hi there,
    1. Any brand-new Mac should, by this time, have Snow Leopard installed on it by default. I doubt that much stock from pre-SL is still kicking around. If, by chance, the machine doesn't have SL preinstalled, there will be an install disc included in the box.
    2. I use an Incase sleeve with my MBP. The MBP goes in that sleeve, and then the MBP + sleeve goes into a padded laptop carrying compartment in my backpack. I carry it around with me at university every day and have yet to have a problem, scratch, or ding. The MBP is still in pristine condition, so I recommend a dual-protection setup like this.
    3. I have the glossy display and find no reason to complain. I think the whole glossy vs. matte thing is completely overblown. If you ever get a reflection from the glossy screen, adjusting the angle of the screen by 1-2º gets rid of the reflection completely! And the picture is much better on a glossy screen. I've never been bothered by my glossy screen, and have never regretted getting it instead of matte. But, go look at them both for yourself and decide.
    4. I don't really do any maintenance on my Mac at all. It isn't really necessary. I would just use the machine and if you ever start to notice problems, that is when you do the maintenance.
    5. The 17" and upper-level 15" models have the dual-graphics in them. I don't see any disadvantage to this type of setup unless money is a large issue for you. It never hurts to have the extra graphics power, especially if you are doing things like CAD. You don't have to use the dedicated card, but if you ever do, it might be nice to have it.
    6. Don't worry about learning the trackpad. I thought i'd need to buy a mouse for mine and I'm sure glad I didn't waste the money. The trackpad is great and I can do anything using it just as fast, if not faster, than with a mouse. Scrolling, browsing the net, window management with Expose, etc. is completely intuitive with the multi-touch gestures. I don't use a mouse with mine at all. Having said all that, I have a new Magic Mouse with our new iMac and that thing is amazing as well. I find myself using that machine sometimes just to play with the mouse. Momentum scrolling is great, and the mouse tracks really smoothly and quietly on any surface. I'm really happy with it, and do recommend it!

    Hi All,
    I am using AdvancedDataGrid as tree for displaying my data. Within this ADG tree I have to enable drag n drop i.e. user can select one node and will able to drop that on another node within tree.
    Overwritten dragDrop handler event for ADG.

  • List box is not scrolling to the last item

    Hello all,
    I am developing a Windows Phone 8 application, in that I am using List box to display the data. I have requirement like once the page is launched user should navigate to the last item of the list box. For this requirement used scroolintoview method like LsbSample.ScrollIntoView(LsbSample.LastOrDefault).
    It is moving to the last item but not fully. It is showing last item around 60% but for remaining 40% I need to manually scroll the list box.
    Can any one help me to resolve this issue.
    Thanks in advance.
    Santosh Kumar Kotta

    It's likely a small bug. Can you try scrolling to the bottom of the scrollviewer's height instead?
