how come my screen is green tinted?

Generally a green tinted screen is a result of a poor video connection to the monitor. Try unplugging and replugging each end of the video cable and while you are at it, examine the contacts for signs of corrosion or dust. The unplug/replug will usually clean any crud off of the connectors. If that fails try another video cable. Connections inside the cable at either connector can get broken or damaged. If that is the case replacing the cable is easier and probably cheaper than attempting to repair it. If you still have a green tint the video card in you Mac mini or its connection to the logic board could be at fault and in that case a trip to the Genius Desk at the nearest Apple store is warranted. (Be sure to go online or call ahead and make a Genius Desk reservation before you go. That can save hours of time waiting for them to "work you in" to an already jam packed day.

Macbook pro retina hdmi external comes out with a green tint?

I have a 2010 old macbook pro and that works fine but the retina comes out with a green tint when pluged in with hdmi.

How come whole screen goes blank when cropping ?

As per this previous post
Rosie Perera, "How come whole screen blinks when cropping?" #, 24 May 2007 7:12 pm
I am experiencing the same problems with the same degree of frustration as the OP.
When the mouse/pen is held following a crop the image and pallette windows go blank, and when the pointing device is released the image and pallettes are restored. Again, problem is not easy to replicate, but can happen with the marquee and ruler tools as well - was this issue ever resolved ?

Just done some more experimenting - if you take the palletes outside the main photoshop window, they don't suffer this problem. Also if you take the image window outside of the photoshop window before trying to apply the crop, its image is OK. It seems that only the elements within the main photoshop window are effected. Sounds more like a photoshop bug than a driver problem ??

WTF - How comes my 'screen name' has been changed to M Golding?

osgood_
Is this the work of the dappy idiots at Adobe??
Looks like everyone elses screen name changed over correctly.
Can we get this changed back?

Yah! I've updated my name.....no longer M Golding back to osgood_ (albeit with a . infront of it - name field in Adobe profile can't be left blank)
I can only think the forum is now applying the Adobe 'name' profile instead of the 'screen name'.....maybe? In that case is there any reason to have a 'screen name' option in the Abobe profile section......humm.
Now just need to sort out how to see who has replied to the threads without having to open them each time, which defeats the objective if you cant keep track of who is replying without opening the 'door'...........maybe there is an option for that somewhere I'm overlooking?

How come full screen exclusive mode is so slow?

Hi. I am currently working on customer facing point-of-sale application. This application has a lot of animation going on and so needs quite speedy graphics performance. When I first investigated this it looked like I could do it in pure Java 2D which would be a lot easier than resorting to DirectX or OpenGL and mixing languages.
Unfortunately as the app has moved closer to functional complete the graphics performance appears to have deteriorated to the point where it is unusable. So I have gone back to the beginning and written a test program to identify the problem .
The tests I have done indicate that full screen exclusive mode runs about ten times slower than windowed mode. Which is mind boggling. Normally - say in DirectX - you would expect a full screen exclusive version of a games/graphics app to run a little bit quicker than a windowed version since it doesn't have to mess around with clip regions and moving vram pointers.
My test program creates a 32 bit image and blits it to the screen a variable number of times in both windowed and full screen mode. Edited results look like this:
iter wndw fscrn performance
     10 16.0 298.0 1862% slower
     20 47.0 610.0 1297% slower
     30 94.0 923.0 981% slower
     40 141.0 1205.0 854% slower
     50 157.0 1486.0 946% slower
     60 204.0 1877.0 920% slower
     70 234.0 2127.0 908% slower
     80 266.0 2425.0 911% slower
     90 297.0 2722.0 916% slower
     100 344.0 3253.0 945% slower
The results are substantially the same with the openGL hint turned on (although I don't have that option on the release hardware). I am assuming that the images end up as managed since they are created through BufferedImage and the system is running under 1.5.
Is there a way to get the full screen version running as fast as the windowed version?

Well I could do...
The problem is that I am compositing multiple layers of alpha transparent images. If I just render straight to the screen I get nasty flicker where I see glimpses of the background before the top layer(s) get rendered. So I would have to render to an offscreen buffer and then blit the assembled image into the screen. Even then there will be some tearing as you can never sync to the screen refresh in windowed mode.
And the thing is - there ought to be a 'proper' solution, g*dd*mm*t. Surely the core team didn't put together a solution that is ten times slower than it should be and then say 'What the heck, we'll release it anyway'.
I mean, if you can't believe in Sun engineering what can you believe in?

How come my screen always freeze when Mozilla brings up a new version. That happened on last Firefox update and now when the new Thunderbird was installed. This is really bugging me.

I am using Windows 7. This never happened when I used XP Professional.

Hi John, thanks a lot, I see that. It actually answers another question I have. I already had that box checked, but I never knew that dialogue box was there. Anyway, my MOTU midi express 128 is dimmed and all 8 midi channel lights are on which has never happened before so there must be something wrong with my midi setup now. sheesh! This helps a lot! Thanks!

My HP 1310 series, model1315 has a problem. Every copy comes out with a heavy green tint.

I have cleaned the cartridge, put in a new cartridge, and the "self help" report only has three bars showing, black, green and yellow. It appears it should have six bars of color. All copies come out with a green tint. Any ideas?
normre9

It appears your cartridge is out of magenta ink. Is this an original HP cartridge or a reman.refill? If the former check the cartridge warranty as shown here. If the latter see here, then contact your supplier for a replacement or refund.

It does not matter if I print try to print color or black and white, they all come out with a redish tint. i do not know what is wrong. my printer works well at all other times. this problem occurs only when i go to print photos from Photoshop. Help , Please.
I use Windows 7 and have an HP 4680 office printer.

Green Tint to Screen

I have been using my Apple Studio Display 17" for several years with my 12" PowerBook G4 without a problem. As of today, the screen has a green tint. The desktop displays correctly, but is green. I tried it with my MacBook, and the color was the same. When I ran Profile First Aid, it found 3 bad profiles. It was not able to fix any of the profiles. I am running Leopard 10.5.1.
Does anyone have any ideas about how this may be fixable?

How can I use the green screen with iMovie?

Hey guys! I was wondering how does the green screen effect work with iMovie 11? I need to use green screen in iMovie in school for a project and I am trying to troubleshoot the problem.
Help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Ben

Record a video against a green screen and import it to imovie.
Then place the green screen footage ON TOP of the background you want and a list should come up. Select green screen. Also, before you do any of that make sure that your advanced tools are selected under preferences in imovie.
