HP Dream Color monitor settings?

Anyone using a Dream Color Monitor?
I am working on one- NOT as an external monitor- it is my computer screen only.
It was set to FULL and the image seemed too intense.
I changed colorspace to Rec709 and everything looks closer to what I have with my ACD at home.
Not a big deal- but I'm just curious what others have found with this monitor.

Just thinking about this monitor due to a thread responded to earlier in the day. I haven't run across anyone really using one yet. But, there is a lengthly thread on the Cow regarding this monitor and it's settings.

Need correct color profile settings in windows....????

Help! Just replaced the motherboard and now all the color profiles in photoshop are wrong.... Does anyone know the correct settings to choose in windows or to choose for the graphics card... it's an AMD Phenom II. I open Adobe Bridge and immediately the previews lose their color which tells me this is not the correct profile the computer is telling photoshop... can anyone help, please????

operating system is windows 7 and the monitor is profiled correctly.... and these are raw images, so no, cannot view in another program.... and they look the same in ps as in bridge. however, i called adobe and they told me it sounds like a graphics card issue, so i'm going to amd's website to update and reinstall drivers.... not sure what else to do....

Not enugh information. Which OS? Is your monitor profiled? Can you see your images in any other program, eg Windows Picture Viewer?
What happens if you open your images in PS instead of Bridge?

Best Color Management Settings for Web in CS3

I've seen tons of info on what color management settings can be used in CS3, but most seemed to favor work for printing. I'm just wondering what settings people think are best for color and B&W photo web work in particular... I already have both the monitor and PS set for 'sRGB IEC61966-2.1', but other than that, there seems to be a lot of opinions. I just want everything to have the best chance of looking the same on other comps as it did on mine. I also have Proof Setup set to 'Monitor RGB'.
Thanks,

1. Calibrate (I use ColorVision's Spyder http://aps8.com/spyder.html , but any hardware calibration device will be better than calibration by eye).
2. Set the Working Space to sRGB.
3. Set the Color Management Policy for RGB to Convert to Working to be sure you are converting content to sRGB. (2 & 3 addressses pfigen's concern about making sure all images are sRGB.)
4. Make sure your monitor is set to use the ICC profile generated by the calibration device.
5. Turn off Proof Colors.
6. Embed profiles or not, but if you do use the sRGB profile. Whether it gets used or not is another story.
As far as B&W, pfigen suggests Gamma 2.2, which would seem to be right for PC. Mac users might consider Gamma 1.8.
This should work well for most situations, but guaranteed consistency is an impossible task at this point.

Color Management Settings

I'm not sure what to set my color management settings up as! I've been told a few different things! I shoot in Adobe RGB, but I've been told to set my working space to SRGB and then to set the color management policies to "Convert to working RGB, CMYK, and Gray." Then I've also been told to set the working space to Adobe RGB (1998) and then under "coversion options" change the "intent" to "perceptual."
Regardless of which setting I try to use, the coloring when I view it in Photoshop is much more yellow than when I view it on my monitor. I have callibrated my monitor, so I'm assuming the problem is within Photoshop. How do I fix this so that the colors match???
Thank you,
Jacalyn

I've been told to set my working space to SRGB and then to set the color management policies to "Convert to working RGB"
Yes, I'd back up what the previous poster says. Where did you get this advice? its extremely poor advice. If its valid at all, this would only apply to people doing an extremely narrow, low end type of work - destined ONLY for the internet.
'Autoconvert' in Color Settings is pretty nasty, it takes every file and converts it. And sRGB is a pretty dumb profile, I've always reckoned - as Bart says, its low gamut, designed for 'lowest common denominator' displays.
Spyder, and your monitor calibration: (because it sounds like your profile isnt being picked up) - I did some research and believe that there may be a "ProfileChooser" application somewhere on PC? - always thought monitor profiles should be stored somewhere in PC control panels. But lord knows whats happening with these settings on PC these days. On mac it does all this much more intuitively of course.;-)
But here's a thread I found where someone had a problem similar to yours…

Can anyone give me their HP w2207/w2207h monitor settings?

I am about to buy an HP w2207h monitor to hook up to my MacBook Pro via a straight DVI-HDMI cable (not an adapter).
Can anyone give me their brightness, contrast, color, etc. settings that seem to work well for maximum clarity and crispness in OS X? Also, any other settings that I should set via the OS X System Preferences panel as well?
Thanks.

The next would be to perform a monitor reset. It's in the Menu (button on monitor).

Color management settings for the best print output

Color Management while Printing has been one of the challenging areas which has been discussed a lot over user forums and has been a painful area in terms of clear understanding while taking print outputs.
Here is an easy-to-understand KB (Knowledge Base) article ‘Color management settings for the best print output’ to help you get the best from your printers using PSE and bridge that knowledge gap.
This article explains color management in Photoshop Elements, how to get better prints, and addresses some of the following issues like horizontal/vertical streaks in print output, too dark or too light print output, ICC profile problems and Color differences between prints from PSE and other applications.
Thanks,
Garry

Thanks Noel.
Yes have shared in PSE forum as well. But I usually drop such posts on PS General forum so community moderators as well as our power users who mostly use both PS or PSE or are aware about can communicate to their students, audiences etc.
The idea is to reach out the message to as many as folks via relevant forums. Most of my otehr posts have found mentioned only on PSE forum.
Thanks for the feedback Nice to hear such a great feedback within 5 mts of publishing

Good color monitor for use with FCP

I'm looking for a color monitor that has dvi and S video inputs.

http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/products/Displays/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=e n&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=320-8277
Keep in mind this is a COMPUTER DISPLAY...not meant for critical monitoring of video. Meaning not to be used to judge the quality of video. Especially via S-Video. That's taking 720x480 and blowing it up to 1900x1200. Not pretty.
Trust me...I have the 2405...

Why Won't Photoshop Sync my Color Profile Settings?

I am using a Lynda.com tutorial for color management by DEKE MCLELLAND and after following his instruction to change my color management settings in BRIDGE AND ILLUSTRATOR to use the color profile ADOBE RGB (1998), I receive this message when switching to Photoshop to check if it has synced as well as the other two programs: "The color settings file contains settings that are not supported by this version of Photoshop running on this system. These unsupported settings will be reset to their default values."
I have tried several times and it simply will not sync
I am using a MAC PRO (late 2007) 10.9.4.

You are the perfect candidate for Adobe Support CHAT. You will speak with someone from India, but they are very smart, and very polite. It may take an hour or so, but every problem of this type I've had, they have been able to solve.

Where are monitor settings stored beside krandrrc

Hi.
I would like to ask for help. Recently i've found interesting issue regarding KDE monitor system settings. KDE system settings make one config file in ~/.kde4/share/config named krandrrc. When we use KDE monitor system settings, configurations are stored in file krandrrc (information like resolution, refresh rate, orientation when there are 2 LCD displays connected and so on are stored here).
I have dual monitor setup. I found this issue because of what i do by an mistake. I chosed to disable my second screen, hit save - i wanted to disable it. Than by mistake i disabled my first, primary screen and this choos was saved right on the spot (i though that when i won't acept settings, they will be restored, just like in Windows, but there were not). So, in fact, i ended with second screen disabled and my first screen disabled, so after each boot, i log in and than, my picture/screen goes off and my lcd monitor shuts itself off.
I tried to delete krandrrc file in ~/.kde4/share/config but it did not make a change. Is there a different config file for monitor settings in KDE? How i could restore it back? Is there a way? I restored it by a chance (i just logged in, hit alt+f2, tried to type "terminal", and than type xrandr --auto but this metod is a metod that needs luck because we can't see anything with disabled screen). I deleted also xorg.conf but in Arch, in fact, it is not needed because udev. I tried to log into tty by hitting alt+f1, but in terminal typing xrandr --auto won't make difference, it says that it can't start X window session so it works only in gui.
Could somebody help? Maybe you have a fix for it?
Thanks.

Hi firekage,
I came across your post while trying to fix a similar issue on my laptop. I don't have a krandrrc file. However, I found that if I deleted the files in my ~/.kde4/share/apps/kscreen directory I was able to "start over" and configure my displays again.
Hope that helps you out.

Monitor settings incorrect and can't get to system prefs to change them

Hi,
I was experimenting with screen resolution settings and somehow came up with one that doesn't allow me to get to any finder controls or to the apple icon. So I can't use my computer.
Help!

Thanks BD. And thanks for the welcome.
I couldn't get it to start in safe mode no matter when I depressed and released the shift key. I realized that the computer is behaving as if it has 2 monitors, which is what it had when I made the mess. I tried detect displays to no avail. BUT I logged out and signed in as another user and no problem! Thus, the monitor settings must somehow be a function of a users prefs. The upshot is that I can now use the computer albeit as a different user. A potential problem may be that the original (screwed up monitor) user is the administrator. My problem is no longer so critical, though and I really appreciate the help.

Good 17-19" color monitor for under $200?

I'm looking for a decent color monitor -- in terms of color fidelity and contrast ratio -- for under $200, preferably $150 or less. Is that possible? My current monitor makes pictures appear too dark when editing, even with the brightness turned all the way up. When I edit photos to make them look good on the screen, they appear washed out elsewhere (i.e., on other screens or when printed).
I'm obviously not a pro looking for top of the line stuff -- just a decent 17-19 inch monitor for editing photos in Lightroom. Thanks.

While a better monitor is always, well.....better...I'm not sure that's going to solve your problem. The issue appears to be one of color management, particularly monitor calibration. I would strongly advize investing $25 and taking a one month membership at lynda.com. There you can check out some excellent video training on this subject (and many others).
My experience is that to get anywhere close to matching prints to what you see on screen, be prepared to spend a couple of hundred bucks on calibration software and hardware. I opened this can of worms a couple of years back and it took a while to get my head around the concepts of color spaces, gamuts, soft proofing, hardware profiles etc. etc. But it was worth it in the end. I'm certanly no expert, but I have a much clearer idea of what's going on with my prints color-wise. Screen-to-print is still not an absolutely perfect match (is anyone's?), but close enough for my purposes (weddings, events, portrait photography).
I looked into getting a better monitor, but my research tells me that if I'm paying much less that $1500, the result may not be much better than what I've got (an old View Sonic GS771, a snip at $20 !!).
Seriously, lynda.com, you can't go wrong. Best money I ever spent.

Monitor settings lost when switching user accounts.

Hi! I just recently noticed that every time i switch user accounts, my monitor settings get corrupted.
There are 2 user accounts in my ibook. One account is used for work while the other one is used for home purposes. The work account has a specific monitor setting which is calibrated to our workstations. The other account has default settings on it.
My question is that when I switch users, the settings for my work account gets corrupted. I also can't change the settings without having to restart the book.
I already repaired permissions and zapped the pram. The same thing still happens.
Thanks in advance!

Hello Chuck!
I've had this problem too. Like you, I managed to navigate to do a restart, but nothing else would make the mouse cursor reappear.
Bruce, I wasn't using Biggy, PinPoint or any of the other mouse visibility things, simply the magnification provided by System Preferences.
I put it down to a fault on 10.4.4—a very buggy release— and haven't yet been able to reproduce it on 10.4.5.
I suggest you send a fault report to Apple ([email protected]), explaining all the circumstances. Try always undoing the cursor zoom before switching users (yes, that's a pain too!!!). And if I manage to reproduce the problem, I promise I'll send in a fault report too!

Iweb auto adjust for different computer monitor settings

Nobody has the same display settings on their monitor, so how can I get iweb to auto adjust to different computer monitor settings?

Are you referring to screen size? If so many prefer to have their browser window set to the size they want unlike PCs in which the browsers usually always fill the screen blocking out the desktop.
Why not set your site width to a size that can be utilized by all, desktops, laptops and mobile devices. Apple recommends 980 pixel width for that.
There was a post about this some time ago with, if I recall correctly, some code to do that. I think Cyclosaurus posted it but am not sure.
I know its a personal preference but when I land on a site that forces my browser to fill the screen I leave and don't go back.

Where are KDE Battery Monitor settings?

I previously used Debian 7 Stable with KDE 4.8. Back in those days, I could right click on the battery widget, and would see options for "Power settings" and "Battery Monitor settings" where the latter was only settings concerning the widget, ie show charge information, shortcut key, etc.
Now that I'm on Arch with KDE 4.12, When I right click on the battery monitor, the only entry is for "Battery Monitor Settings", but when I click that, I am taken to the menu for what was previously referred to as "Power Settings", that is, system wide things like screen brightness, etc.
Where can I find settings for the Battery Widget itself? For example, I'm trying to get it to show the estimated remaining time when clicked, and I can't find a place to do so. It's gotta be somewhere, right?

So I tried that, but ran into a few snags -
1. In that fix, they say to add the string showRemainingTime=true under another line about showMultipleBatteries. Unfortunately, since there's evidently not a menu anymore, I can't enable showing multiple batteries, so I'm not 100% sure I added it to the correct location.
2. After I added that line, it still is not working. For reference, here is my ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc file:
http://pastebin.com/SiKRS1dh
The line I added is on line number 238.
Any thoughts?

Need color management settings for photoshop version 8.0

I need to reset the color management settings for photoshop 8.0. Can someone let me know what are the correct defaults?

Probably the most commonly used is "North American Prepress 2" but which you choose depends entirely on the kind of work you are currently doing.
