Images appear bright on my iMac but dark on CRT monitor

When I look at images on my early 2006 20" intel iMac they appear ok but when I view them on a mac with a CRT monitor they are really dark. I have lowered the brightness of the screen but it won't go dark enough. Is this a known problem or is it just mine?

Hi Andrew,
Welcome to Discussions
When you plug the CRT into the iMac, open system preferences. Go to the "displays" section. Make sure that 1. the brightness on the external monitor is high, and 2. that the refresh rate (because it's a CRT) is set high enough (at least 60 Hertz).
Also...
How old is the CRT? I've noticed that the older the CRT monitor, the dimmer it gets. At least that's just my experience.
Hope this Helps
Trevor

  • Images appear much lighter in program

    I have Photoshop Elements 11 and my pictures are significantly lighter in the program compared to the original. After I made my edits and saved the jpeg when I look at the image in the folder it is much darker. The monitor is obviously not the problem so I am trying to figure out what is happening from inserting my sim card to importing the photos into Photoshop that is causing them to appear SO much lighter. Please help

    I should add that I do see the noise that InD captures - something like it - at about 400% enlargement in PS. That's what makes me wonder about PS's previews. It seems like something like that noise is present, but not discernable at my usual 8x11.5 size. I should add that I come from years of analogue photography and have been using PS since version 2.5. Happily, until I bought InDesign.
    Thanks to everyone for their thoughts on this. I wonder if anyone else has experienced it?

  • Images appear fine in Photoshop cs6 and cc, but print too dark, and also show too dark in Windows picture viewer. How can I correct this? Is this a Photoshop setting issue or what?

    Ok, look at your files in Photoshop. What is the profile assigned to them? You can find this out by going to the Status bar at the bottom, clicking on the right-pointing triangle and choosing document Profile from the list.
    Then in Windows, go to your Control Panel > Color Management and add sRGB (if it isn't there) and select it as your default profile.
    I hope that will work.

  • I have an Imac.  When I click to open google maps a permeable but dark screen covers my monitor screen and I get a note that tells me to shut down the computer and restart it.  This hasn't helped.  Everything else seems to work fine.

    When I attempt to open google maps in Firefox on my Imac, a dark screens descends over my monitor screen and a note tells me there's been an error, no number is noted, and that I need to turn off and restart my computer.  This doesn't help, but everything else works, including google maps in other browsers.

    This is a kernel panic.
    First verify that Firefox is fully updated including all extensions.
    If this fails to fix....
    Restart in Safe Boot mode then open Firefox.
    *  shutdown
    *  start the Mac and *wait* for the startup chime to sound
    *  after the sound, press and hold down the shift key
    *  keep holding and *wait* until the grey  Apple logo appears
    *  now release the shift key and just wait (it could take a few minutes)
    *  eventually the login screen appears with the words SAFE BOOT
    *  login and open Firefox.
    If you continue to have problems see this article for more options to fix.

  • Images with straight lines are distorting (round) on PSCC on iMAC but not on MacBook or second iMAC?

    Images are distoring (rounding) on Photoshop CC on my iMAC but same NEF file on MacBook Air or our second IMac do not show distortion.    On preview, the image appears normal.    Is there a way to repair PS CC or does it need to be reloaded?   How can it be repaired or reloaded.  
    Hard to find the right technical expert - chat isn't working
    Thanks.

    You have some lens correction enabled or a graphics hardware acceleration issue. nothing that a reinstall would fix. Since you haven't provided any relevant exact technical info, nobody can say more.

  • IMac Screen Saver - Strange Images Appear?

    I have my iMac set up to "show" pictures like a slide show. Every few pictures, there is a fuzzy usually multicolored "image' that appears like it is inserted over a valid picture . . it then fades away . . .I know these fuzzy "images" are somewhere on my HD, but I cannot find them. I would like to delete them as they have no value and override a perfectly good picture. My wife has the same issue on her older G4 iBook.
    Any ideas on how to delete those images?

    They are probably icons or some other low-rez images which is why they show up the way they do.
    The slide show, i believe, shows all your images, so they come along. They may not even have the standard image extensions, jpg, etc., but some other rare or special image extension.
    You might find them by searching for all images using Finder, one main folder at a time.
    I am not sure if the activity logs would list the various images displayed during the screensaver, but it is also worth a look.
    Someone recently posted the exact same issue which is why I remember it.
    Not that the search function is back you can search this board, going back only a few months for a similar topic.
    Actually I just found it:

  • I am using the Adobe Acrobat Reader on a mac and I followed all the directions to copy an image but when I press paste only half of the image appears or it appears as an empty square. What can I do to fix this?

    Hello,
    I would like to inform you that not all the browsers and online PDF readers support copying text from a PDF. If you have opened the PDF online, please download PDF file to your computer and then open the file in Adobe Reader.
    Please share a screenshot if the issue still persists.

  • Image Appears in Browser, but not DreamWeaver

    I inserted an image into my HTML page, but a gray icon (that looks like a torn page) appears instead of the image in both Live View and Design View.
    However, when I open the page in a browser, or I test it on a browser through DreamWeaver, the image appears as it should.
    How can I fix this and have the image display normally in DreamWeaver? I need to see it in order to map hotspots on it for a roll-over map.
    Thanks in advance!

    First check to see if the image is saved as RGB and not CMYK color space. Check the images size as if its big Dreameaver may not show it. I mean is it 3mb or 300k Also check that the image has been inserted into the Dreamweaver page as 'document' relative rather than 'site root' relative which you can choose when inserting the image.
    Failing that if it shows in the browser then link us into the page and I'm sure someone will be able to detemine why its not showing in Dreamwaever

  • I need some help resizing my images on PS6. I am using a mac and have been trying to resize with same resolution and constaining proportions but for some reaseon the smaller resized image appears pizelated.

    I need some help resizing my images on PS6. I am using a mac and have been trying to resize with same resolution and constaining proportions but for some reaseon the smaller resized image appears pizelated. Heres an image of before and after. The first image I use is a JPG 72dpi 1500px x1500px and I want to downsize it to 600x600px same res, but it keeps pixelating, this has never happened before. Any suggestions, thoughts?
    thanks!

    I wouldn't say pixelated; more like blurry.
    Like ConnectedCreative said, what steps are you using? Are you using "bicubic sharper" when resizing down?

    Hi, I have backed up 2 IMACs and one Mac Book Pro but for some reason, the 3rd IMAC come up with this problem: The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/Anthony’s iMac.sparsebundle” could not be accessed (error -1). Why? The computer system is up to date and I have had no issue with the other computers, just this one.

    That sounds like a settings issue to me. Check with your IT depatment to make sure you have it configured properly.

  • How can I get the picture to show in Photoshop?  The thumbnail image appears in the right side panel but the full image isn't showing at all.

    How can I get the picture to show in Photoshop CS3?  The thumbnail image appears in the right side panel but the full image isn't showing at all.

    What specific information would you need?  The program was working just fine early yesterday morning and than when I came back in the afternoon to edit  some more pictures that is when I wasn't able to see the full image anymore.  It is providing me with all of the editing options as if the picture is there but it is just a blank screen with the thumbnail pic showing in the right panel. 

  • The apple coloured ball keeps appearing in photo elements 13 but not in any other programme. I have the latest IMac with plenty storage and ram

    The apple coloured ball keeps appearing in photo elements 13 but not in any other programme including premier elements and organiser. I have the latest IMac  with ample storage and ram

    I believe I have solved the problem.  I have 16mb ram so I went into photo
    preferences and raised to 75% what is available for photo
    I also reduced the cache from 6 to 2.  The last two sessions the coloured
    ball has not appeared.  Hope this might be usefull  to others

    I can't recall whether slideshows are ordered by title or date, but you can manually re-arrange the albums in iPhoto, then batch change them once you have the order you want.
