In photoshop white appears yellow

In photoshop CC, white appears yellow and I'm unable find a solution for this.
I'm using Windows7 Profesional.

Use the eyedropper tool and sample a "white" area. If it reads 255,255,255 it is white and your monitor profile is off.

Colors in Photoshop all wrong but OK in other apps. (For example "Whites appear yellow.")

Q: The colors in Photoshop are all wrong. They have a neon look or are discolored with a blue, red, green or Yellow cast. I look at the same pictures in other applications and they look just fine. How do I fix this?
A: Recalibrate your monitor using Adobe Gamma (OS9) or the Displays Control in System Preferences (OSX). Photoshop uses your monitor profile to display your images other apps don't. Be sure you start the recalibration using a fresh monitor profile (sRGB or the profile that came with your monitor for example). If you try to recalibrate using the old corrupt profile you will still have a corrupt monitor profile and your color will still be bad. Also, if you are using OS 9 make sure you are using ColorSync 3.0.4. The 3.0.4 patch is available on the Apple web site.

Here is another link to monitor calibration http://www.gballard.net/psd/colorlooksbad.html

Thanks. But it looks like in all my frustration, I wasn't sure my original call for help had posted, so must have submitted the same question again.
But I just had a new thought on the problem. While reviewing a story I received from another website, I noticed that the photos attached to the article looked a lot like what I described in my message. It made me wonder if I have a software problem at all . . . or if it's the screen on my Mac that needs recalibration!
It only took 2 minutes to find a website that discussed it — with sample screens to help determine if that was what I'm dealing with. Since a screen supposedly showing a mix of numbered, grey boxes looked totally white to me and I could only see the white numbers on a screen that supposedly contained boxes in varying shades of black, I think I might be on the right track. Just not sure, since I had to reach the bottom of the page before spotting the pitch for a product that supposedly will recalibrate for me. I'm not sure I want to tackle recalibration on my own, but may call the Mac Geniuses at our local mall and see if my hunch is right . . .and if so, what they would charge to do it for me.
BTW, if it sounds like a calibration problem, do you think moving my computer from one desk top another (just 5 feet away) could have caused it? I'm not sure, since it wasn't on my mind at the time, but I think that's roughly when I first started to notice discrepancies in color.

Some whites appear yellow

Hi all,
I have a macbook pro retina and in the past two months certain whites have started to appear very yellow. It happens randomly. At first I thought it had to do with the "Flux" programme (that turns your screen orange as night falls), and then wondered if it was some kind of wierd interference with Photoshop. But now I disinstalled Flux and the problem persists. It happens sometimes that I turn my computer and the screen is normal but it generally comes back.
It's really strange because it's yellow outlines around the menu bar for example, and the yellow follows it around the screen if I start moving it.
I have googled this problem and haven't seen anyone who has had the same problem.. Would be sooo glad if one of you knew what this is all about...

Once rich images in Photoshop now appear flat.

Photos I had previously edited in Photoshop now appear flat in Photoshop, Bridge, Illustrator, Preview, and in the Finder. These same files look good on websites, and also when I drag them into an email.
The Color Settings in Photoshop match the files' color profiles (Adobe RGB).
I had recalibrated the monitor using native gamma and native white point, but the colors don't return to their richness when I go back to the default calibration. Plus, the images still look good on websites and in emails, so I don't know if the screen calibration is the problem.
I feel that I must have made some setting change, but I can't figure out what I need to change back.
I use MAC OS 10.7.5, Creative Suite CS6.
HELP!
Thanks.

It's not entirely clear what you did here. What do you mean by "going back to default calibration"?
Calibration consists of two independent processes - calibration and profiling. Calibration is a modification of the monitor itself, to put it in a somewhat more "ideal" state than it was. Calibration does not have very high precision, and is not part of the color management chain.
Color management enters with the second part, the monitor profile. The profile is built after the calibration is finished. It is a complete description of the monitor in its calibrated state. The standard color management chain kicks in at this point: Document profile (source) is converted to the monitor profile (destination).
IOW, display color management relies on the calibration being already in place. So if you change the calibration, you also need to make a new profile to describe the new state of the display. If you just change the calibration, but use the same profile, color managed applications will send the wrong numbers to the display and all bets are off.

[SOLVED] Console colors make text illegible (i.e. white on yellow)

As shown in this image, colored text on my console often appears as white on yellow or vice-versa. When this happens, I can't read the text.
I believe these colors are the archlinux defaults, or specified by the programs I'm running. I don't think its a product of my customizations but I could be wrong. The text appears this way in bash or zsh.
I've been searching, but I can't find the right way to control the colors. I'm not searching for a color scheme, although if that's the only solution, I'm open to suggestions. What I really want is a way to say, "never use colors as similar as yellow and white together."
Thanks for any help.

There's no way to do specifically that - unless you set your TERM to something that cannot use color at all.
But you can easily define what the 14 default colors are. Most programs don't actually specify a color, they just select from the 14 defaults (often just 7 really):
# from bashrc
# #RRGGBB
echo -en "\e]P0181818" #black
echo -en "\e]P8000000" #darkgrey
echo -en "\e]P1a62a3e" #darkred
echo -en "\e]P9f04758" #red
echo -en "\e]P238912b" #darkgreen
echo -en "\e]PA60aa2b" #green
echo -en "\e]P3b27d12" #brown
echo -en "\e]PBddb62b" #yellow
echo -en "\e]P4355c9a" #darkblue
echo -en "\e]PC45a3e6" #blue
echo -en "\e]P57c4f9f" #darkmagenta
echo -en "\e]PDc953ef" #magenta
echo -en "\e]P6258f8f" #darkcyan
echo -en "\e]PE60c6c8" #cyan
echo -en "\e]P7aab8b8" #lightgrey
echo -en "\e]PFd0d0d0" #white
clear
Also, setting a good font can help readability.
EDIT: sorry, the above code is for TTY. For terminals in X, you'd just set values in your Xresources/Xdefaults:
*color0: #000000
*color8: #666666
*color1: #A62A3E
*color9: #F04758
*color2: #38912B
*color10: #60AA2B
*color3: #B27D12
*color11: #DDB62B
*color4: #355C9A
*color12: #45A3E6
*color5: #7C4F9F
*color13: #C953EF
*color6: #258F8F
*color14: #60C6C8
*color7: #77858C

Background color changed from white to yellow and =25% changed to %% on email

I type =25% on my email and sent out, background color changed from white to yellow and =25% changed to %%.

Try leaving a space after the =
Thus: = 25%
Where and when did it change? Did it change inside Thunderbird? Did it change in the Sent folder? Or in a reply to you?
= and % are used in certain types of email encoding; =20% often appears, meaning character 0x20 which is 32 denary or the space character. It is often used where an explicit space would be illegal, and this is common in URLs and other links. I'm thinking that =25% similarly has a special meaning. It ''shouldn't'' get decoded, but software is buggy.
I can't reproduce it here, which is why I'm asking about how and when it changes. Where does the Microsoft software come into it?

Mac screen has white and yellow bars on start up but no icons?

I have a 27" Mac Desk Top computer recently upgraded to Yosimite.
On starting up the screen appears white with yellow columns but no icons or dock appears?
Can I fix this myself?

Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.
Safe Mode - Mavericks
You can also try resetting the PRAM.

Colors display incorrectly in CS4 - i.e. white looks yellow

I recently bought CS4 and have noticed that everything displays differently in Photoshop than anywhere else. I can not get a pure white. Pure white looks yellow, like french vanilla ice cream.
I have tried everything I can think of to rectify this situation. I have tried changing color profiles, etc. but I obviously don't know what I'm doing, because none of the changes have any effect.
I really need to get this fixed. I have been a Photoshop user for 15 years, and throughout all the versions I've used prior to this one, everything displays properly. I am BUGGED by this, big time. Such expensive software should work right.
I am using a 22" Samsung LCD monitor, if that makes any difference.
I can send screen shots to anyone... just let me know.
Thanks,
Blaine

Look for an entry about this problem in this forum's FAQ section. There are a couple links (all leading to the same place) at the top of the thread index.

...save it as sRGB?
Would you care to comment on why there is an advantage to do this little extra job?
Perhaps you don't want to hear from me, I don't know.
I'll answer just this one little question. Try to get your mind around what color management does, I promise it does make sense (outside of unexplained problems on particular computers).
You want to save your web image with the sRGB profile embedded because some Internet browsers are color managed, and with an embedded profile it's more likely someone will see your image colors just as you intended.
The assumption is that a lowly windows user with a cheap monitor and Internet Explorer will be seeing any image you save as "roughly" sRGB anyway. Tagging the image with sRGB only affects those with color-managed browsers.
You're looking for the most possible consistency for the viewing audience.

Hi, im trying to hook up my mac book 7,1 to an older tv with red white n yellow cables. is this possible. if so what would i need to buy?

HI again. im trying to hook my mac book up to my tv. its an older tv that has hook up for yellow red n white cables. if this is possible please tell me what i need to do so. thank you

If you want to use the Composite input on your TV there’s no Mini DisplayPort to Composite. The only adapters with Composite are the older Mini-DVI adapters. (Composite is the red, white and yellow RCA plugs on your TV or red, white and S-Video plugs.).
You’ll could try a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_19?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field -keywords=mini+displayport+to+vga&sprefix=mini+Displayport+to
And then a VGA Adapter to TV S-Video RCA Out Cable for PC Video. http://www.amazon.com/VGA-Adapter-S-Video-Cable-Video/dp/B000Y7T5UU/ref=sr_1_7?s =electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1316369974&sr=1-7
I don't know if that would work but it's the only way I would know.

I uploaded last release of CC (05/28/2014) but it did a mess on the entire pc: when I launched Photoshop it appeared a driver error on my graphic hardware; internet stopped to work and photoshop itself didn't respond.

Hi, this morning I installed last upgrade of CC (05/28/2014) but it did a mess on the entire pc: when I launched Photoshop it appeared a driver error on my graphic hardware (I checked, everything was up to date nd correctly working) and Photoshop didn't respond; internet stopped to work too.
The only way was to uninstall The CC App and create a restore point after uninstalling (It wasn't possible restore a previous one BEFORE the upgrade of this morning....)
My Processor is Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4500U CPU @ GHz 2.40 GHz
RAM is 8GB
What do I have to do?
Reinstall it without upgrading it?
I would really appreciate that upgrades would be tested before being released.... -_-

Printing appears yellow!

Hi,
On a number of machines in the office, in the last couple of days the print outs have started appearing yellow. Other colours are also appearing differently to those in the design and print preview.
Initially it was thought it may be an issue with the printer, but the printer technicians checked the colours and all appears fine through their printouts. It only seems to happen when printing from Creative Cloud programs.
I've just updated Creative Cloud on my machine to confirm it's not an update issue and rebooted to ensure the updates applied.
Looking in the printer preferences everything appears fine, and hasn't changed from the previous state for it to have started causing this issue.
Has anyone had a similar problem or does anyone know of what could cause this?
Thanks,
Jason

I have just discovered that I can properly print pictures from iPhoto to the colour laser, as long as I don't put them in a greeting card. So that seems to be the trigger.

Photoshop CS6 Printing whites as yellows

When printing from photoshop CS6 whites are coming out as yellows.
I print as follows;
Color Handling: Photoshop Manages Colors
Printer Profile: EPSON Stylus Pro 4800
Normal Printing
Rendering Intent: Absolute Colorimetric
(I need these settings as I print from sepcific palettes)
In Print settings I print on Custom Mode with no color adjustment.
I have recently upgraded to Photoshop CS6 and believe there must be an option somewhere to do with white handling I've missed.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Why are you using absolute colorimetric? Are you trying to proof printing on a paper that is much more yellow than what you are printing on?
If you are not trying to proof printing on another paper, use Relative Colorimetric.

Start up white screen yellow vertical lines

hi
when i start up my iMac it loads with a white screen with yellow vertical lines and apple logo with download bar loading then goes to white screen.

Sounds like a hardware failure. Run Apple's Hardware Test 2-3 times back to back in extended mode. If any errors appear that confirms the hunch, the ONLY thing to do is take it in for repair.
