Hue of monitor changes when Aperture opens

For quite sometime now, whenever I open Aperture or Final Cut pro the hue of my screen changes.  I have the desktop set for solid gray, I think it's medium.  But when either of the two programs open the hue chages and I have a blueish cast,  the destop looks more like Aqua Graphite than solid gray.
My 17" MBP has the dual graphics cards.  Intel HD Graphics and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M.  I am thinking the hue shift happens when the card in use switches. I calibrate with a Spyder 3 and I am concerend that I have 2 very different calibrations and not sure which one is the calibrated one.
I have been playing around with Lightroom 5 Beta and when it opens there is no hue shift. 
I have an external monitor also, but I am traveling right now and can't recall if this behavior is mirrored with it.  I usually only have it on with editing software use.
I was going to post screen shots of the two different screens but to me they look identical when viewed on my screen, they both swiich hues depending on what software is running.
Any thoughts about whats going on here ? 

To add to the info.  If I switch the graphics card automatic switching of,f the screen goes to the blueish hue regardless of the software that is running.  So it is a graphics card switching issue.  Nothing at all to do with Aperture or FCP.
I'll be spending some time on one of the other forums to get to the bottom of this.  For now switching off the automatic switching followed by a restart, then turning it back on gets it working correctly it appears.  But for how long ???

    Hello, I have a Mac computer with NVIDIA 750M dedicated graphics card and monitor EIZO but the problem was there when I was working with Windows and Acer monitor. When I open a file from Camera Raw in PS this is smaller than the screen so I double-click with the tool "hand" to fit on the screen, but the picture loses sharpness and becomes blurry. If you magnify the image even only slightly with the tool "zoom" the picture comes back clear. In Camera Raw instead is always sharp. I solve the problem by turning off the graphics card in PS but often use plugin that need the graphics card otherwise the processing time is much longer. I ask for help.
    Thanks.

  • Setting always change when i open ms word on my pc..

    why every time I make a setting with ms word for mac always change when I open it with ms word program on your pc?

    Why would you expect a setting in one program on one operating system to affect the setting in another program on another operating system? I likely did not understand your issue from your description. Or do you mean for example if you create a document using red for the type color that the color changes to another color when you open the document in another installation of Word?
    I suggest you ask in the Office for Mac forums. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac?auth=1

  • Have dual monitors when I open firefox it open on monitor 2, when I open a pop up it opens in monitor 1. I want it to open on monitor 2

    I am trying to work out of 2 programs using one monitor on one and Firefox on the other. When I open link to in Firefox it opens in monitor 1 which I want it to open in monitor 2. Is there a setting I can change to make this happen.

    I want FF4 to always open on Monitor 1. If you click on a link that "opens in a new window", it opens on Monitor 2 and from then on all FF4 windows open on Monitor 2.
    Firefox 3.6x did not have this problem.
    The suggestion from silkphoenix works once, until you click on a link that opens a new window, then FF always opens on Monitor 2... the wrong monitor.
    I don't and won't use tabs.

  • Format change when report open in report expert

    Hi all,
    I am using report builder 6i and I create invoice report I have attached it with oracle ebs 11i and run it from
    concurrent manager. Now I have to open my invoice report into report expert software.
    when it opens into report experts, It change our report builder fonts and format both.
    suppose if item are 1 then invoice total depens upon number of items. so invoice total position is changed
    according to the number of items. If 1 items total move up and if more than 1 item total moves down.
    In this way my invoice format become changed and total did not maintain in same position.
    Thanks

    The Format is changed due to sizes of Repeating frames in the report layout as well as the fixed frames.
    you can use the border color of the frames to design the report layout.
    when your fixed frame is not in lined with the repeating frame objects and the anchor is not applied then the report output in PDF will not be disturbed
    while in the Excel format it will be as per the no. of fixed frames/objects in the first line will come in first A1 column of the Excel file ans next in the second and so on...

  • Old Iphoto book was changed when I opened it. How to revert back?

    I have 2 previous Iphoto books that I made and now I have Iphoto11. When I clicked to open one of the books, Iphoto11 totally changed the book and made it into a new version. How do I get the old version back the way I had it?

    You can't.  Evidently the themes that you had used in the previous version of iPhoto are not available in iPhoto 11.  The only way you can get that particular theme back is if you have a backup copy of the older library and can install and run the previous verson of iPhoto.  However, depending on the version of iPhoto, you may not be able to order a copy.

  • Modified date changes when just opening PM file

    We use modified dates frequently at my business. We have lots of things that reoccur only once a year, and we'd like to keep the file dates listed as such in the folder views.
    All the sudden, however, Pagemaker files have started updating the modified date to the moment you touch the file, even if you make no changes. If you open it, it now becomes today's date & current time.  It's really messing up our method of doing things.
    It's not happening with any of our CS4 files, or any Microsoft Office files. Also, it's only happening on files stored on the server. It doesn't happen when we do a test of saving a Pagemaker file locally. The problem is, we don't store anything locally. Everything is stored on the server so everyone can access the file and so it's backed up.
    We have a Windows based computer environment but an Apple server with OS 10.3.8 (Tiger--- yeah, I know, old, but it's as far as we can update that server at this time and are looking at getting a new one sometime, but it might be a year or so.) 
    The "modified date" problem has taken place only in the past 2 weeks. We have not done anything significant for changes or updates for quite a while on either the local computer or server ends. We restarted the server recently just to refresh things, and also added another user to the server and set some permissions for that user in the past 2 weeks.
    What could be causing this all of the sudden, and how can it be fixed?

    Acrobat 9 makes PDF versions 4.0 and higher. You need a PDF version 5.0 to handle transparencies well. PDF version 4.0 doesn't handle transparency effects well at all.
    Pagemaker needs Acrobat 5 to be able to directly export PDF's with custom job settings. It only generates a PDF version 4.0, but works for our needs in Pagemaker.
    I choose to keep both Distiller versions to make our work easier. When you have 20 ads open in Pagemaker, and you send the first one as a postscript through the print window, it sets up the "File, Export" in Pagemaker to use the correct PDF job setting, and then you can just do "File, Export to PDF" for the next 19 ads and it makes perfect PDF's. Works slick instead of having to make postscripts of all 20 ads first and then run them through Distiller. If you only have Distiller 9 installed, it doesn't let you select any custom job settings from your Distiller. Crazy, I know, but that's what I've figured out we have to do to get it to work. Have to have Distiller 5.0 to control PDF settings in Pagemaker and still be able to export from the file menu directly to PDF.
    Distiller 9 is used for all other more advanced design pieces created in InDesign or Photoshop that are saved as a postscript first and PDF's are made the long way in those cases (running postscript through Distiller 9 at the end).

  • Modification Date changes when updating Open With?!?!

    Forgive me if this is mentioned elsewhere. I have been searching these forums and not seen this problem.
    If I do a 'Get Info' on a file in the Finder and change the application it opens with, the Modification Date changes to 'now'. Why in the world would this happen? This is not how 10.3.x worked, and certainly doesn't make any sense since I am not actually modifying the file. I am simply changing the OS's metadata about which app to use. This info isn't even stored in the file itself, as evidenced by burning such an document to a CD or moving it through a network server then opening it on a machine with different default apps for certain extensions.
    Is this just another wacky step backwards in the world of the Apple OS X Finder, or am I missing a way to avoid this?
    PowerMac G5 2.5DP   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    This is not how 10.3.x worked, and certainly doesn't make any sense since I am not actually modifying the file.
    Actually, I am using "Panther" now, and can confirm that changing the application to be used to open an individual file through "Get Info" does in fact change the modification date.
    When the "Change all" button is used, the modification date of other files of that type won't be affected by this change since that modification is presumably made somewhere in the "Launch Services" database to set the "default" application to be used for that file type. Perhaps this is what you were thinking of.
    However, for that first file (or any file changed individually), the file is in fact modified, and the "Open with" information is stored with the file, in its "resource fork". Usually, a 'usro' resource (specifying the application) and an 'icns' resource (for the app's custom icon for that file type) are added. You can try this yourself - drag any image from Safari.app to the "Desktop" and open the info window for that image - such images usually don't have a "resource fork". Make note of the file's size, then change the "Open with" application. You should immediately see an increase in the file's size (to account for the addition of the "resource fork") accompanied by an update of the file's modification date to reflect this modification.

  • Display color changes when Photoshop opens

    Hi there,
    Since recently, whenever I open Photoshop CS6 (13.0.1) or Illustrator CS6 (16.1.0), the display color changes, i.e. as if the display color profile termporarily changes to a different one. Even if I switch to another app, the color change will remain until I quite Photoshop or Illustrator. Using Mac OS 10.8.2.
    Does anyone anyone have an idea how to prevent this from happening?
    Thanks!

    The color shift happens when the computer changes the graphics card (from Intel HD to Nvidia or AMD). It's a problem of Mac OS X 10.8.x. I found a simple solution that worked (at least for me):
    Turn off automatic graphics switching in System Preferences > Energy Saver
    Reboot your computer
    Turn automatic graphics switching on again (or leave it off, as you like ...)
    It seems that the mac has to start up with the discreet graphics card turned on (Nvidia or AMD).

  • Why does the color change when I open a warm image in Photoshop CS6?

    Whenever I open a warm color image in Photoshop CS6, the color of the image automatically changes? Please see the attached screenshots below.
    What is the solution to this problem? Please Help.
    I use Windows 7 Ultimate. Photoshop CS6.
    Graphics Card: Intel HD Graphics 2000

    There is no "problem" to "fix". A raw file is just the data captured by the sensor, not yet an image. To produce a useful image it needs to be processed in a raw converter, either automatically in-camera or with a standalone converter (ACR).
    The camera LCD shows you an in-camera processed jpeg, according to the camera manufacturer's idea of how the raw data should be interpreted. There is nothing inherently "correct" about this, and a lot of the original data have been thrown away in the process.
    ACR doesn't make any assumptions about how the final image should look. It shows you a neutral starting point, with default settings to preserve as much of the original data as possible. The rest is up to you. You're not supposed to just accept the defaults. The sliders are there for a reason.
    You can change the ACR defaults at any time if you come up with settings that are more to your taste.

  • Colors in pdf files changed when I open those files in the iPad.

    I usually use iPad and Goodreader for reading journal articles.
    There is one big problem reading the papers using iPad because colors in pdf files looks abnormal.
    When I use my labtop and desktop, I can see whole colors in the pdf files, so I can see what is exactly happening in the images in pdf files.
    However, I cannot catch any details from those images in pdf files when I use my iPad.
    For example, some colors in the pdf files disappeared and whole images in the pdf files looks too dark.
    I searched for some informations to solve this problem using google but I cannot find exact method.
    Many people said about this problem for a long time (maybe three years ago?) but it has not been solved yet.
    Can anyone suggest me how to solve this problem?
    If this issue cannot be solved, I think I do not have any reasons for using my iPad.

    You've just uncovered something I don't really know.  I had naively thought the Central Database and Cache are one and the same (and that the [ Purge Cache ] button would clear saved settings), but now I'm not so sure. 
    I tested by changing the parameters of a raw file, and I didn't see any files inside the Cache folder change their modification dates, which is not at all what I expected.
    I don't really want to press the [ Purge Cache ] button to check it here, because I want to retain my own settings.  You could try it and see if it clears the white balance setting on a particular file.

  • Why size of fonts changed when presentation opened on different mac?

  • Workspace changes when re-opening project

    I am using the latest build of Premiere Pro CC 2014, and lately my projects default to showing different sequences whenever I re-open a project. I am working on a project with a LOT of sequences, and every time I re-open the project, I have to sift through sequences to find the one I was last working on. This also happens whenever I switch between the editing and color correction workspaces. I have tried resetting workspaces, but it doesn't help.
    There is a thread about this issue on Creative Cow (http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/3/957081#957081)
    This is eating up a bit of my time, and I'm hoping there is be a solution for this.

  • Since I downloaded FF4 I receive an error message telling me my default settings have changed when I open FF4. How do I resolve this?

    McAfee secure search notifies me upon boot up of browser.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
