Greyed Out Brightness/Contrast onThinkvision

I have a Lenovo LCD monitor connected to my E520 laptop. I decided against my better judgement to adjust the colour settings today and after setting the brightness up to 100% I no longer have access to the brightness control on my monitor. I've tried restarting, but the brightness/contrast button will not respond. Can anyone help?

Some additional info: the brightness button on the monitor no longer works. I can access the settings by double-clicking the screens enter button, but in that menu brightness settings are greyed out. The computer/Windows is not remembering my calibration settings. I adjusted the gamma and colours to compensate, but it forgets after a few cold starts. Several reinstalls of the drivers doesn't help, trying to update the drivers doesn't help. The brightness adjusts on my laptop, but not on the external monitor. The monitor is an L197 Wide, laptop an E520, Windows 7 sp1, all updates and patches applied. I also tried creating a new user account and switching the graphics, no luck there either.

    I'm not exactly sure what you are seeing and what is happening, but try closing the App Store app, and then reset the iPad. See if that takes you out of that screen and allows you to navigate freely again.
    Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the App Store app and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • How to un-grey-out "Image - Auto contrast"?

    I just opened my first jpg in Photoshop CS5 and tried to use "Image -> Auto contrast" but all of the Auto's (Tone, Contrast, Color) are greyed out. The Image -> Mode is set to "RGB Color". There is only one layer and I tried various combinations of selecting (Command A) and de-selecting (Command D) the image but the Auto's stay grey.
    The latest Photoshop CS5 Extended (Version 12.0.2) is running on a Mac Book (Snow Leopard 10.6.6).
    I'm reading Peter Bauer's "Photoshop CS5 for Dummies" and Scott Kelby's "Photoshop CS5 Book" but can't find the answer in either. I also searched the forum for "auto contrast greyed out" but got 0 hits.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The whole issue of working non-destructively may be of little importance if you are starting out in Photoshop and are acquainting yourself with the various tools and features, but later on it can become a significant time-saver.
    The Photoshop Help offers something on the issue, too (see »Nondestructive editing«).
    Basically the target is maintaing pixels content intact and any corrections (both of form and color) editable.
    The techniques employed to achieve this include:
    • Performing Touch-up (Clone Stamping and Spot Healing) on separate Layers
    • using Layer Masks instead of deleting and erasing
    • using Adjustment Layers instead of applying an Adjustment directly whenever possible
    • performing Transformations, Puppet Warps and Filter applications on Smart Objects
    etc.
    Anyway, I may have been hasty previously; the Help states (p.136, following similar points for Auto Contrast):
    Remove a color cast using Auto Color
    Auto Color adjusts the contrast and color of an image by searching the image to identify shadows, midtones, and highlights. By default, Auto Color neutralizes the midtones using a target color of RGB 128 gray and clips the shadows and highlight pixels by 0.5%. You can change these defaults in the Auto Color Correction Options dialog box.
    1Do one of the following:
    •Click the Levels or Curves icon in the Adjustments panel.
    •Choose Layer > New Adjustment Layer and choose either Levels or Curves. Click OK in the New Layer dialog box.
    Note: You can also choose Image > Auto Color to apply the adjustment directly to the image layer. Keep in mind that this method discards image information and is automatic. You cannot adjust any of the options in the following steps.
    2In the Adjustments panel, Alt-click (Windows) or Option-click (Mac OS) the Auto button.
    3Under Algorithms in the Auto Color Correction Options dialog box, select the Find Dark & Light colors option.
    4Select the Snap Neutral Midtones option.
    5Specify the shadows and highlights that are clipped, and adjust the target color for the midtones.
    6Click OK to apply Auto Color.
    So the result should be achievable with a Levels or Curves Layer straight out.

  • SSRS Parameter Drop downs are greyed out after changes to SSAS cube

    Hi
    I am facing a weird problem. I have 3 SSRS reports that are based on an SSAS cube. Few days back I deployed some changes to cube and everything works ok on dev environment. When I deployed the same changes to production, SSRS reports don't work. I don’t
    get any error or anything when I click open the report but all the parameter boxes are greyed out. If I restore SSAS database from dev to production then SSRS reports work fine and I can select parameter drop downs. What could possibly wrong here. I have no
    idea to what to troubleshoot here.
    Thanks
    Nik

    Hi Nik,
    Are you using render the report from a report snapshot? In contrast with reports that run on demand, it is not possible to specify a different parameter value for a report snapshot when the report is open. So the parameter textbox is grayed out. If the users
    want to view the report with different parameter, we can select “Always run this report with the most recent data” option in “Processing Options properties” page.
    Besides, if the issue is not in this scenario, we can try to edit the report with Report Builder to check whether the report is ok. Such as delete the parameters, then recreate them to check again.
    If there are any misunderstanding, please elaborate the issue for further investigation.
    Thanks,

  • Video Setting greyed out

    Hi,
    I'm trying to find a way to control my blacks while digitizing footage in via a component cable and a aja Kona LHE card. I noticed that in the clip settings on the digitize window there are slioders for hue,sat, bright, Contras, black and white but they are all greyed out. How do I get these to become useable?
    Thanks

  • How do I configure the brightness, contrast and colour settings of the built-in HD Camera on iMac?

    I have recently purchased an iMac after making the switch from PC.
    I am struggling to find an app, or settings configuration where I can modify the brightness, contrast, color and white balance settings for the built-in HD camera. The online manuals didnt give me any answers so I thought I would turn to the communities pages for some help.
    The room where the iMac is situated has a light behind me and I am facing the wall so not much light in front of me except the ambient light from the screen. Friends on FaceTime, Skype etc. say that the picture from the built-in camera is too dark and difficult to make out my face clearly. How can I fix this?
    Any and all help is most welcome.
    Thanks
    UKRichard

    I would move it if it weren't the main room light that is fixed to the ceiling. Not remodelling my house just for the iMac camera. On my old PC all the webcams came with utilities to adjust these settings, I am surprised Apple dont have something similar for free.
    I did see another post about iGlasses here, but not sure I want to pay $10 just to adjust my camera settings

  • Brightness Contrast filter won't stop flickering

    My Brightness & Contrast filter is acting crazy. Most of the time, it works fine, but sometimes changes suddenly. Right in the middle of the clip, it will change brightness. Sometimes, it happens in brief flashes, sometimes constant, and other times, it rapidly flickers. This is only happening to certain clips, at complete random. Why is it doing this?
    If anybody knows how I can stop this, please help.
    Powermac G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   using FCP 4.5

    Tried trashing renders. still can't figure it out.
    It seems to happen on both the external monitor and the clip itself. Tried exporting into new quicktime movies, also as still image sequences and the flicker still happens to these certain clips when the contrast filter is applied. Seems to be embedded in the footage itself, but doesn't happen when there's no filter.

  • Photoshop Levels/Brightness & Contrast Problem (PS CS2)

    When I try to apply Levels & or Brightness & Contrast settings to an image, it always seems to revert back to the way it was. The filters won't do anything it seems. I have Adobe Photoshop CS2. At home it did the same thing and I re-installed Photoshop only to find out it still did not work. Is there something I am forgetting to do? Your help will be much appreciated!!!

    View your image at 100% (Actual Pixels) when making adjustments.
    (And I'm going to take a wild guess that you are working on a line drawing or scanned half-tone image.)

  • "Anti-alias" greyed out when free-transforming smart objects.

    While resizing smart objects, I noticed that the anti-aliasing was  very contrasting and not smooth enough for my purposes. I realized that  if I rasterized the smart object before resizing, the anti-aliasing was  better. I then noticed that there was a setting when free-transforming  smart objects called "anti-alias." However, I am unable to activate it  as it is greyed out. So, here's two questions:
    1) Is there a way to make the anti-aliasing for smart objects the same as that of rasterized objects?
    2) Is there a way to activate that "anti-alias" setting when free-transforming smart objects?
    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide

    On top of what Zeno Bokor wrote that while your doing the transform your viewing a quick scaled preview not the actual transformation you wrote
    The SOs I'm talking about are bitmap images I made into SOs to be able to resize and edit without destructive changes, not imported vector graphics from AI.
    You did not state how you made the bitmap images  into smart object.   If you just converted a layer you had been working on into a smart object some damage may have already been done to the bitmap image.  You might  get better results if you started out with a smart object layer to begin with by using ACR open as smart object option or by placing your camera jpeg images into your document as starting points.

  • Adjust brightness/contrast/geometry in ubuntu or open firmware

    Hi,
    I've installed ubuntu in my mac and wiped out mac os 9/x.
    But the linux system does not allow me to adjust the brightness/contrast/geometry. I got a CRT display too bright, 1 cm off the center and too small.
    Anybody has any clue about adjusting the display settings in linux for a iMac G3 CRT? I tried a lot and searched a lot but don't have any findings, except reinstall a mac os, which I do not want to do. Also, is there anyway to do that in the open firmware command line interface?
    Many thanks for any help!
    Jim

    Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions. 
    I don't believe there is any depth of linux experience in the iMac forums. I'd advise re-posting in the Ubuntu forums (here).
    kind regards

  • Auto Smart Fix is greyed out

    I want to use Auto Smart Fix on a photo, but no matter what format I save the image in, the Auto Smart Fix and Adjust Smart Fix options are greyed out. The Auto Levels, Contrast, Lighting and Color options are available.
    How do I get the Smart Fix to work?
    Thanks.

    Also check to see if your image is 16 bit. You can't use auto smart fix on a 16 bit image. If that's the case go to Image>Mode and convert it to 8 bits.

  • Colored frames when adjusting brightness/contrast

    Hello kind people. I am trying to adjust brightness/contrast on a short clip in my video, and I keep getting some colored frames that play when I replay the clip. I can stop at the colored clips, some are blue, and some are magenta. Anyone have an answer? I have rendered the clips, but I can't figure it out, and have never had this problem.
    Thanks,
    Mike.
    Final Cut Pro 6.0.6

    I reset the codec to Pro. All the footage I shot myself with the same camera setting. Also, I am only editing this one short clip, so it's not mixing with anything else I don't think.
    I figured out a go around from my problem. Instead of going to Effects, Video Filters, Quicktime, Brightness/Contrast, I am now doing Effects, Video Filters, Image Control, Brightness. It seems to automatically take care of the contrast to make it look nice.

  • Text wrap options are greyed out

    Hi,
    I am trying to create a "drop cap" by selecting a text box and changing the wrap options in the inspector however, the "object placement" options to wrap the text are greyed out and I can not change them, except for the options below, such as "object causes to wrap" check box and the "text fit" boxes.
    Is this a glitch? I have restarted both my program and whole computer, as well as tried it in a new document, and it still is coming up greyed out.
    HELP, I have a project due and I need to be able to add in drop caps!
