ICal colour swapping issue

Anyone else experiencing iCal switching the calendar colours? It's happening across all 3 of my platforms (iPad, iMac and iPhone)
Any solutions?

Yes, there are at least 2 other threads discussing the same problem. This seems to be happening to a lot of people, including me. I have only seen one possible fix (trashing the preference file and starting over), but this seems to be a widespread problem and not one involving personal preferences.

Colour Profile issues between North America and Europe

I have a corporate colour, C80M80Y0K0 which creates a very attractive shade of purple. Within North America all printouts demonstrate very similar variations of that purple colour. We have an office in UK that uses the same collateral pieces. While they preview correctly on screen, they are unable to reproduce that purple in their office or with their professional suppliers (all digital processes). The resultant colour is blue (approx C92M68Y18K0).
The files are created in Indesign, using a process colour within Indesign, and then exported to a PDF and shared with the UK office.
My guess is that it is a colour profile issue - has anyone else had this same issue, and if it is indeed a colour profile issue, what profile would you recommend using? I've tried using some of the other default profiles within Indesign but with no luck.
Any assistance would be really appreciated.

The resultant colour is blue (approx C92M68Y18K0).
What preset are you using for the Export, or what are the Output settings? Have you tried PDF/X?
PDF/X-4 will leave color unchanged and profile everything, so a color change like you are describing most likely means the wrong output profile is being used in the UK.
PDF/X-1a forces everything into your doc's CMYK space and makes conversions at output less likely—with X-1a your 80|80|0|0 mix will probably be output unchanged.

Printing colour recognition issue with illustrator created design.

I have a macbook pro with retina display and illustrator Cs 6.
For some reason, when I tried to print my illustrator designed work at the professional printing service.
it said there are colour recognition issue. I wasn't sure if that is anything to do with the Illustrator Cs6 or to do with the retina display or the printing service.
I would like to know if anyone have the same issue, and how do you resolve it.
Thanks.

Ahhh,
The colour mode is websafe HEX is the design work by the looks of it and the print is using CMYK mode. Try changing the document's colour mode to CMYK from RGB and see if the blue looks darker. It should do.
Take a look at the image I've attached. I've created both RGB and CMYK variations of the hex colour #0099BA.
I think it's just down to a difference in colour mode between digital version and print. There are some really great comparison sites available that will give you a close conversion if your matching spot and PANTONE® colours too.
Let me know if your any closer to a resolution please. Interested to see what the issue is.

Colour Management Issue with PS CS3 and Leopard 10.5.2

Hi Everyone,
Since I have installed Leopard I am having colour management issues with Photoshop CS3 and my Canon i9950 printer.
My screen is calibrated with a Spyder and I used to ask Photoshop (in 10.4.11) to manage colour when printing and used the Spyder profile. Everything came out as I saw it on screen.
Now in leopard when I do the same thing everything comes out too yellow on the print. If I ask Photoshop to let the printer manage the colour it is too red. If I use the default colour management (photoshop managing the colour and it choosing the colour space it is better, but still too yellow).
Photoshop gives the hint to turn off colour management in the printer but there is no option for this and it also said the same thing before of course (when it worked in 10.4.11).
Any ideas?
Thanks.

>It was working perfectly in Tiger with the monitor profile.
You were lucky.
the monitor profile is so Photoshop can display your images correctly.
the working space is Adobe RGB, sRGB, BruceRGB, ect... these are all known color spaces so when the file goes to another computer there is a consistent color space for reference. If you use your monitor profile as a working space then nobody else knows what is going on with your file.
when you print you need to use the printer profile for the type of paper you are printing on this is supplied by the printer manufacturer. you can also have custom profiles made.
you need to read up on color management:

You need to use the correct printer profile for the paper you're using. If the printer didn't come with any pre-built profiles, check Canon's web site to see if they have any profiles available for your printer that you can download.
Printer profiles are very specific. You can't take take a profile for glossy Epson paper and expect it to work very well for Canon glossy paper.

I'm having exactly the same problem, only my printer is a Canon Pixma iX4000. The colour is all bleached out, it looks exactly like when you've accidentally printed an RGB file on a CMYK printer, and at first I thought that was what I had done, but it isn't. This is very frustrating, I've spent all day going through the manuals, recalibrating etc, but no luck. This is a brand new Mac Pro and printer, but if its not going to print what I see on screen it's just expensive junk.
I wasn't sure if the problem was Leopard or the printer or CS3...

ExpressCard (PCIe) hot-swapping issue only happened in MacBook Pro 6.1

ExpressCard (PCIe devices) with hot-swapping issue only happened in MacBook Pro 6.1. But there is no this issue at all in MacBook Pro 3.1 and MacBook Pro 5.2.
I had tried ExpressCard to SATA2 Adapter (Silicon Image 3132 ASIC), ExpressCard to 1394 Adapter (TI XIO 2200 ASIC), ExpressCard to USB3.0 Adapter (NEC D720200 ASIC) and ExpressCard to SDXC/UHS-I Adapter (JMicron JMB389 ASIC). I had got Kernel Panic (Sytem Crashed) for ExpressCard to SATA2 Adapter, Other three devices can not be detected when we process hot-plug / hot-removal these ExpressCard (PCIe devices).
We expect Apple can solve ExpressCard (PCIe) issue by updating EFI / OS Software. Awaiting for your kind reply~ Thanks in advance!

WARNING: Canon Pro Printers and CS4 – Serious Colour Management Issue

Over the last four days (and over fifty prints) I have undertaken extensive and meticulous tests to identify the cause of a problem; namely that targets for profiling a new printer (a Canon Pro9000), printed with ‘no colour management’, were printing far too dark and with what appeared to be a colour cast.
I have conclusively eliminated the printer, the printer drivers, the Mac OS, corrupted preference files, corrupted user accounts, incorrect Photoshop settings, incorrect printer driver settings, the ‘sticky settings' issue, and user error as possible causes of the problem.
I can say with 95% certainty that my tests, conducted using Mac OSX 10.4.11, have proved the following:
That, printing to a Canon Pro9000 or iP4500, Photoshop CS4 does not print accurate targets suitable for producing profiles. This applies to both the No Colour Management (NCM) and the Printer Manages Colour (PMC) settings.
Photoshop CS and CS2 are not effected.
I did not test CS3.
Furthermore, colour managed prints (using the same accurate profile made in CS2), printed in CS2 and CS4, show subtle differences. This may not be an issue except in the most critical applications.
It is likely that the problem will not be confined to the two Canon printers above since many other Canon printers share the same driver architecture.
Reading posts and discussions on other websites would seem to indicate that this problem is also manifest with some Epson printers and may also effect Mac OSX 10.5.
I have to conclude, therefore, that Photoshop CS4 cannot be replied upon to print targets of sufficient accuracy to produce reliable profiles for a colour managed workflow.
The fact that this is only just being reported can be attributed to four factors:
That many CS4 users are continuing to use profiles made under older versions of Photoshop and have yet to make new profiles using CS4.
Some users may not immediately notice a problem, or may ascribe it to other causes.
Some users may take the line of least resistance and use a previous version of Photoshop to work around the problem.
Some users are still using the older versions of Photoshop not effected.
Eric Chan (of Adobe) has stated on another website that CS4 implemented some new APIs for printing and that this has given rise to some "minor glitches". If Eric Chan is correct, and Adobe changed the APIs in Photoshop CS4, this begs question of whether Adobe sufficiently tested CS4 before release ? If Adobe did not test their software, and therefore failed to identify this critical problem, this would suggest negligence on Adobe’s part. If Adobe identified the problem but then did not inform users that a potentially serious colour management issue existed this would suggest wilful or gross negligence.
It is not good enough to say that Adobe simply followed the ‘conventional’ path and ‘followed the rules’ regarding API implementation. The experience of end users does not correspond to a “minor glitch” and, in my case, has been extremely costly in terms of time (over five days in all), lost revenues, and materials. Furthermore, why should Adobe's customers be forced to use their valuable time diagnosing problems clearly of Adobe's creation – and actually admitted.
In UK law providers of goods and services (and this includes software) have to supply them as “fit for purpose”. Clearly, in terms of colour management, CS4 is not fit for purpose. Neither can Adobe hide behind its labyrinthine licensing terms since any exclusions would be ruled unlawful under the UK’s ‘Unfair Contract Terms’ Act.
My strong and unequivocal recommendation is that representatives from Adobe, Apple, and the printer manufacturers meet together – with the utmost urgency – and provide a rapid and complete solution. It is simply not good enough to pass this ‘over the wall’ saying “it’s not our problem”. It is. Adobe's, Apple's, and the printer manufacturers'. Please solve it. And quickly.
Identify the problem clearly, make it and the solution/s public; and publicise it widely and thoroughly.

Dear DYP.
Thank you for your concern.
"What fixes have you tried?"
If I may quote from my post above:
"I have conclusively eliminated the printer, the printer drivers, the Mac OS, corrupted preference files, corrupted user accounts, incorrect Photoshop settings, incorrect printer driver settings, the ‘sticky settings' issue, and user error as possible causes of the problem.
I can say with 95% certainty that my tests, conducted using Mac OSX 10.4.11, have proved the following:

Photoshop CS and CS2 are not effected.
I did not test CS3"
These tests took place over three weeks and involved over five days of work and the replacement of the printer on Canon's recommendation (although the printer is clearly not at fault).
Please note that I am using Mac OSX 10.4.11.
"What driver versions are you using?"
Pixma iP4500 6.9.3 (also 6.9.1, 6.9.2 and the driver supplied on the CD).
Pro 9000 4.8.7 (also 4.7.3, 4.8.4 and the driver supplied on the CD).
"Yes it is frustrating but in a lot of cases it is fixable as I and others have clear reported, on this and the LR forums."
I have not found any fix on any website referring to Canon printers, despite exhaustive searches (this includes Canon's European and US websites which are mute on the issue).
The ReadMe file supplied with the installation disc of CS4 refers to problems with "some Canon printers" when printing with the 'Printer Manages Color' but does not identify using 'No Color Management' nor Epson printers as having issues.
I hope this post answers your questions.
Clearly all users of CS4 need to be warned of this problem which is likely to effect other printers. I believe that I am assisting others by issuing this warning. It is done, not to cause mischief, but in the spirit of a public service. CS4 users can then treat their printing results from CS4 with caution, and then conduct their own tests. I have presented a workaround which is to use a prior version of CS4.

Colour sync issues safari

Hi,
For a long while now, I've been noticing some oddities in OSX 10.8 regarding display of images in Safari.
Having just installed 10.8.5 combo, I was hoping it would finally be fixed.
It's difficult to describe what the problem is, but certain colours and images in Safari are not displaying correctly. Its seems images are displayed correctly most of the time, with a short delay until the image is displayed with the correct colour. Backgrounds of certain webpages often don't display correctly, where part of the page is loaded showing a different colour or brightness of the background. Often text colour is also not shown correctly, but these differences are hardly noticable. On some ocasions, image files are loaded with the top half appearing slightly different to the bottom half... slight colour variations, different black points and overall brightness.
The problem is not consistent, but often shows up in some of my frequently visited pages. Refreshing a page, or scrolling the page all the way down and up again, will sometimes make the page display properly. It seems to me as a colour sync issue in Safari, but I'm not really sure. I have reset Safari multiple times. I have reinstalles the OS.
Does anyone know if this is a known issue, and if there is perhaps a fix?
I have a Macbook Pro 9.1 2.3GHz 16GB RAM running OSX 10.8.5. Both my monitors are calibrated with a Spyder Elite 4, and these problem I'm experiencing seem to be exlusively limited to Safari. I'm not a fan of Crhome or Firefox, so changing browsers is not something I consider an option.
Bellow is a creenshot showing a common issue I'm experiencing.
Thanks in advance for any insight...
Martin

Try emptying the cache. Press Command + Option + E. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that doesn't help, open a Finder window. From the Finder window click Go > Go to Folder.
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test again.
If that doesn't help, from your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari and test again.

Colour Printing issue

Hi all,
Hope someone can help. We are running Indesign CS3 and have encountered a recurring problem when printing from our laserjet. We generally use indesign for assembling presentation docs. We are 3D designers rather than graphic designers so only use Indesign in a fairly rudimenatry manner.
The issue lies that we sometimes create a coloured back ground, on a page, using the box tool and then place images (from a CAD rendering programme or photoshop etc onto this back ground) the images placed would either have the white background made transparent in photoshop then inserted into indesign as a TIFF or we would match the RGB/CMYK in the original programme to the colour of the box so that the bounding box of the inserted image does not show. Generally on screen everything looks ok until we print whereupon the bounding boxes of the inserted images tends to show through as a slight colour discrepancy (whether it was transparent or the same colour as the background box). This problem happens when printing direct from In design and also if we turn the doc into a PDF. In both cases the doc looks ok on screen.
I'm sure we are doing something fundamentally stupid and wonder if it is an RGB/CMYK issue between images inserted and the doc itself.
Thanks for any help

Hello,
From what you've described it's a colour management issue and your cmyk profiles are likely to be different, what i'd suggest is do the following:
Check your colour suite settings (photoshop, indesign, illustrator etc), these should be the same throughout (syncronised) so you've got consistant colour management throughout and assign the right colour profile to your images.
Check your images are CMYK if you're matching the sliders, not RGB - most rendering engines will do RGB as standard so you might need to change the colour mode.
Are you using spot colours? if you are, convert them to cmyk as you're more likely to get transparancy issues.
Hope that helps!

Colour space issues

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out what's going on with colour spaces once I export a video. I've made a video from srgb jpegs and everything looks fine in Premiere Elements, but as soon as I export it as a video (have trived several formats) the colours are dulled and the contrast reduced (a common colour space issue).
Does anyone know why this happens and if so how to avoid it?
Specifically in this case I'm exporting photos from Photoshop Lightroom to srgb jpegs which I then import to Premiere Elements 7. The original pictures as well as the jpegs look fine. The jpegs and the movie also looks fine inside Premiere, but as soon as I export it to an avi or quicktime file I get something like a 15% decrease of both contrast and saturation.

One problem exporting to Quicktime from Premiere Elements has been discussed in the past, and it was found that PE does not correctly write atom data to the MOV header, so that when you play back the MOV file, it plays back in Apples color space on a PC, giving it a washed out look. The only computer where they will look correct is on an Apple computer. I've exported to Quicktime in other applications, and the results come out correctly when played on a PC.
And then, media players can make the video look too dark or too light, depending on which video renderer is used. In some video applications you have an option to select from 4 different types of video rendering for previewing playback. Some make the video look perfect while others make the video have less contrast. Then you may think that your video or images don't look right, and you start making color corrections.
On my computer Premiere Elements doesn't use the overlay mode, which is the mode that most closely resembles playback on my TV when the DVD player has black levels turned off. When editing in Premiere Elements, highlights look blown out. At one time I would compensate by changing the contrast and brightness. But after burning a DVD and playing it back on TV through the DVD player or in Windows Media Player, the video was too dark.
I've learned not to mess with the color too much in Premiere Elements. Not everyone will be able to play back your video and see it the way you intended.

Colour alignment issues with CP1515n

I'm having some colour alignment issues with my Color Laserjet CP1515n. Lately, I've noticed that the 3 colours go out of alignment from the middle towards the right of my printouts. Alignment at the left towards the middle half of the page is ok but gets progressively worse towards the right side of the page.
Nothing in the user interface allows me to reset the colour alignment. What can be the cause of this and what's the remedy? This printer is slightly over a year old and has only just gone through its first set of toner cartridges.

I am also having alignment issues to the same nature as the post below. I have just replaced the Black, Magenta and Cyan toners. After doing this the alignment goes out of register from left to right (left edge fits right edge all colours are out of fit by 2mm).
I have also found nothing in any manuals as to how to adjust or fix this problem. This is the second time I have replaced these colours. I have re-calibrated and taken the cartridges out several times but it is still the same.
Any advise would be helpful. As it is at the moment the printer is unusable for my job and it's the only one I have.

Tuning- Swap issues

Hello All - Happy Spring
I was going through st02 and noticed that I am having high swaps on the CRM2007 system (Oracle 10g/Aix), particularly in the following SAP buffers:
Initial records      rsdb/ntab/irbdsize            6000

PS.
when I run a check on the instance profile on the

E:ztta/parameter_area is smaller than default 32000 (actual is 8000)
If I increase the ztta/parameter_area would this improve the swaps issue or cause some underlying issues?

ztta/parameter_area: Buffer Size for SPA/GPA Parameters
Size of the shared memory buffer for SPA/GPA parameters
Extract from SAP Note 34533 - Error SET_PARAMETER_MEMORY_OVERFLOW
The memory area PARAMETER_MEMORY (or also the 'SPA/GPA area') is created once for each user when they log on and is used collectively by all sessions that arise from this logon. Each piece of information that is stored there can be read by all other sessions.
An important restriction: there is no synchronization mechanism between the sessions. This means that you cannot predict EXACTLY when a piece of information that has just been stored by a sesson can be read in another session. Therefore, this area must NOT be misused for data exchange. There are other means of doing this that are better suited to the purpose. If the error mentioned above occurs, it may be that an application is responding as described above by carrying out intensive data transfer using the SPA/GPA area.
Solution
If the error SET_PARAMETER_MEMORY_OVERFLOW occurs, the first approach to solving the problem should be to increase (for example double) the SPA/GPA area. To do this, increase the parameter 'ztta/parameter_area'. The new value of the parameter is only valid once you restart the system.
It is difficult to determine the minimum size of the SPA/GPA area. It depends on the variety of the applications to be run.
You can go ahead and set   ztta/parameter_area to its default size
Cheers

Colour / contrast issues while capturing DV/HDV (and Hi8)

I have a Canon Vixia HV30 which I use to record HDV and DV, and use iMovie HD/6 to capture the footage. I'm noticing during import that the colour and contrast quality both seem to be degraded compared to what I see on the camcorder screen (and how it would appear if I were to plug it in directly into my television). Is this just something to do with the playback during import (ie it's not displaying the level of quality that's it's actual capturing?)
I actually noticed something similar happening when using iMovie HD/6 to capture Hi8/Digital8 footage from my old Sony DC-TR460 (colour-quality loos); but I assumed that had to do with the passthrough occurring on the Digital8 Sony camera.
Any insight into any of the above? I want to have the highest possible quality capture of all my tapes!

Thanks. Yes my next step will definitely be to burn a DVD of the video and compare it to playing directly off of the original tape from the camera to the tv.
I suppose a follow-up question is what IS a good playback format? I've attempted to export this captured video using numerous settings and nothing ever comes out looking good, including H.264 with the deinterlace option selected. Moreover the dulled colour/darkness issue persists no matter what settings I try.
I'm starting to wonder if it's all worth shooting HD/DV footage at all if I want to share it online. I don't have any problems with the little AVI files my 6 Megapixel Canon Cybershot takes; they look great and I don't need to do anything to them! I obviously want to have the best quality source files possible, and yes, would love to be able to play it on big widescreen tvs as well. But it seems to me one precludes the other!
