Incase anyone accidently changes colour of display to 256 here's a way back

Ok I just made a dumb mistake, using ARD I accidently changed the display settings on our headless xserve to 256 colour, and suddenly the remote screen went blank. So there was no way I could control it to reset the colours.
But here's my very clever solution incase any other fools do the same
1. Launch System Prefs on the server using ARD
2. control the server and type "displays"
3 press return
4 press tab, press right arrow, press left arrow, press tab, press tab, press down twice then press return.
And all is well again. just thought I'd share cos I thought it was a very creative solution!!! (pats myself on the back)

Welcome to the forums.
It sounds like you have not applied the CS3 updates to PPro.
Cheers
Eddie

  • Thunderbolt display changes colour temperature when in full screen mode

    27" Thunderbolt Display connected to MacBook Air (2011) changes colour temperature when in full screen mode. Switching any setting in System Preferences/Displays changes it back to the correct colour. I have also seen this on a 24" LED Display (Display Port) connected to a Mac Book Pro (2011).

    I describe my problem here. I think it's similar, can you see if the console gives you the same error?

  • Changing Colour Display for Temperatur​e Distributi​on

    Hi everyone,
    I am currently involved in reading a series of temperatures along a length of pipe as part of an experiment.  I thought it would be a nice touch for my VI to have a diagram of the pipe which changes colour to show the temperature distribution along it.
    I have attached my initial solution.  I would have posted a VI snippet but this seemed to effect the my references in the property nodes.  
    Issues
    The code 'works' in the sense that the foreground colour of each tab control will change based on the value of the corresponding temperature.
    The solution does not scale well.  I need 'n-1' case structures for 'n' colours/temperatures.  I considered using an enum input to a single case structure, but was not sure how to compare this to the for loop index.
    Unsure whether changing a tab control background is the most efficient way to do this.  Not sure of an alternative.
    I am looking for suggestions as to how to do this more efficiently as there will be up to 16 temperatures in the final system.
    Many thanks in advance,
    Pete

    Tabs are probably the weirdest choice here. Why not use e.g. a simple colorbox or button?
    In any case, try to learn about autoindexing, it will dramatically simplify your code (see attached in yellow box).
    I probably would use an array of clusters, each containing a colorbox and a numeric with transparent background. Modify as needed. (see attached in green box).
    Of course you probably would want to make it a it prettier than my draft.
    For a larger ramp, I would use a plain array of flat colorboxes. Now simply index into a color ramp to generate it according to your temperatures.

  • Camera raw images change colour in adobe bridge

    I have photoshop CS4 and import my camera raw images into Adobe Bridge.  When I view the thumbnails in bridge my raw images look vibrant and exactly like they appear on the camera but when I go to open them in camera raw edit they change colour and look washed out before I've made any changes.  Can anyone help me figure out how to correct this?

    My camera is set to shoot sRGB JPGs and is set to all zeros for the brightness/contrast/saturation parameters.
    What is your camera set to as far as these basic toning settings, as well as any automatic things like DLighting or highlight compression and perhaps any custom curves or whatever that is called for Nikons?
    First paragraph - so is mine.
    Second paragraph - all other settings are neutral/zeroed/turned off, as per my post to which you responded. That is, no additional tone curves - Active D-Lighting turned OFF (why anyone would let the camera decide what to do do with highlights and shadows is beyond my level of trust) , Jpg compression is Optimal (least possible) et cetera.
    Think I now have an explanation for the different displays in ACR (and Bridge) that I have been experiencing. Took a new duplicate Jpg/Raw shot with the in-camera Picture Control set to Neutral. Now, when both the Jpg and .NEF Raw are viewed in ACR, with the ACR Camera profile set to Camera Neutral, they appear, ASAICT, identical. Saved Camera Neutral as the default ACR Camera profile. Now back in Bridge, the images also appear pretty much identical.
    I think what was happening previously was that I had failed to save Camera Standard in ACR as the default Camera profile, and it was defaulting to Adobe Standard, and hence it was rendering Raw thumbnails for Bridge to that Camera profile - hence the difference in appearance between the Jpg and Raw in Bridge. Unless I have got it completely wrong,  I think my problem is now solved.

  • Accidently changed the folder to open with the srong application

    Hi there, i've just connected my mac formatted iPod to a windows pc and have been following the instructions to get my musicoff the iPod on to my pc. But in the process i have accidently changed the folder to open with quick time and i can't remember what it was supposed to be opened with. I know, stupid!!!
    Does anyone know what i mean? and if so can they help, please!
    Thanks in advance

    Sorry. Basically, i have plugged my mac formatted ipod into a windows pc then gone into the driv (where it says contacts, games, recordings etc) in there, there is a folder which is called metadata. I have accidently changed this folder to open with quick time instead of the default. I can't remember what the default application was.
    Can anyone check this with their ipod?

  • Accidently changed language

    my little brother accidently changed my mini into chinese how can i change it back to english?
    thanks

    From http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60956
    "Select your language.
    If your iPod has a monochrome display (black and white):
    Scroll to the third menu item in the screen and press the Center (Select) button. This takes you to the Settings menu.
    Scroll down to the last menu option but don't select it; in English, this is the "Reset All Settings" option.
    Scroll up to the third menu item from the bottom one. This should be Language.
    Press the Center button to select Language.
    Select your preferred language from the list.
    If you have an iPod with a color display:
    Scroll to the fourth menu item in the screen and press the Center (Select) button. This takes you to the Settings menu.
    Scroll down to the last menu option but don't select it; in English, this is the "Reset All Settings" option.
    Scroll up to the third menu item from the bottom one. This should be Language.
    Press the Center button to select Language.
    Select your preferred language from the list.
    If the instructions above don't enable you to change the language on your iPod, try using the "Reset All Settings" option at the bottom of the Settings menu. If the Reset All Settings option does not work, you can restore your iPod back to factory condition and reselect the display language.
    To do this, open iPod Updater on your computer, connect your iPod, and click Restore once your iPod is recognized.
    Note: Restoring your iPod will erase all information and return it to factory condition."

  • CS3 and lightroom raw converters change colour of  5D files when importing.

    The problem is that lightroom and CS3 systematically go through raw 5D..CR2 photos and change colours, even when set to "as shot". I think part of the problem is that i upped the saturation in camera, and the raw converters have been stripping this away to desaturate colours... but in doing this they have taken too much away and left photos very desaturated and looking nothing like colours that were actually there.
    I have taken some with all settings on camera default, yet still there is a slight but noticable shift in colour.
    anyone shed any light on this, or had similar experience.
    Ali.
    P.s. Using vista, but same on windows XP.

    >I think part of the problem is that i upped the saturation in camera, and the raw converters have been stripping this away to desaturate colours
    The main problem is that you don't understand what a raw file is...the ONLY raw converter that can read settings set on the camera (other than exposure and ISO) are those that use the camera SDKin your case, DPP. A raw file has no real rendering and the raw converter must give it one. What you are seeing change is the difference between the Canon SDK and the Camera Raw default. And note that the Camera Raw "default" is just that, a default rendering. If you don't like it, you can change it and make the changes based on camera serial number and capture ISO as well.
    What you need to do is forget the camera settings (except exposure and ISO) and concentrate on learning how to use Camera Raw to get the renderings you want...

  • Accidently changed the "ownership & permissions" access admin setting to "read only"

    In the "Get Info" window on my MacBook hard drive icon, I accidently changed the "ownership & permissions" access admin setting to "read only" & now it won't re-boot the operating system. Just displays the Apple logo & running wheel on a white screen . Any advice on how best to re-set/restore would be very much appreciated, thanks

    This might help. Otherwise, it might be necessary to reinstall.

  • Lightroom changes colour in my RAW files captured with NIKON D300

    Dear All! Lightroom changes colour in my RAW files captured with NIKON D300. Some of the images are completely ruined. I am sure Adobe must be aware of this problem. What could be done? Is there a solution? Many thanks for your help. Regards, Stanislav

    You want "something different" but this "something different" is quite hard to define.
    I want a result which reflects the result on the camera. Have the feeling the display
    of the D800 is not the greatest, at least (not only the color issue which is often discussed)
    but also the exposure. Often I think I would need to compensate it, but then afterwards
    on the computer the non corrected version looks most of the time better.
    I think its interesting to see how allergic people react when the word jpeg comes up.
    This is also just a rendered result, just by the camera. There are many options in my cam.
    I like the vivid setting with some modifications. And that gives me a result I like.
    And if I like the result, why shall I spend way more time to replicate it?
    I do not talk about that I would want the jpeg, I only say that what I get color wise out of the
    box is how I would like to look at it. I still want the capability to fix for example exposure  in image,
    but I want the base the version I got from the jpeg view (or how the Nikon raw software could do).
    On Lightroom I did not manage to have a profile that looked as appealing to me.
    It also consumes way more time in my workflow to fix all pictures manually and results might differ.
    To work on an image you need a starting point, I do not say the jpeg look is always perfect and
    what I want all the time, but most of the time it is.
    You say yourself you use profiles. So why should there not be a profile which automatically adjusts to the camera settings.
    Its so frustrating to see a look which you like (the preview image when the pic is first accessed) and
    then Lightroom switches to its own rendering which is flat and which I do not like.
    For me its clearly something Adobe and/or Nikon should fix, like the mentioned "auto correct to preview look",
    Nikon profiles/settings/raw-details in Lightroom or for example a Nikon import module.

  • Menu text items to change colour

    Hello.
    I'm trying to use highlights on a dvd menu to get text to change colour between normal and selected mode.
    When layer transparency is set to < 100% the colours are mixed. When transparency is set to 100%. the 'underlying' normal mode image can still be seen underneath
    Furthermore, what Encore actually builds is different from what is displayed in the project preview.
    Confused. Thanks for any help.

    First, the Encore Preview is but a rough emulation, and a test RW DVD, or doing a DVD VIDEO_TS folder for viewing in a DVD software player, will always be the best way to see what you are actually getting.
    Now, what I think you are describing is the inherent limitation of Sub-picture Highlights: they are always on top of all graphics in a Button on a Menu, and are limited to 2-bit (either ON, or OFF, with zero anti-aliasing) color, but can have Transparency (the opposite of Opacity in PS). Because of these limitations, the Sub-picture Highlights will be jagged, over all other elements and limited to one of three possible colors.
    You might get a better result, if you employ parts of this ARTICLE.
    Good luck, and hope that something in that article helps you.

  • What to do incase of new change in Org Structure while using indirect assig

    Hi all,
    This is my first post in this forum and I hope I will get the right answer.
    We have implemented the indirect role assignement and now we are in the process to set the process incase of any change in the Org Structure.
    Option 1)
    Me as a security engineer I have decied to have the following process:
    HR has moved an employee from position to position > HR will inform the SAP Security Engineer about the new change > SAP Security Engineer lock the user and send the new list of roles for the employee to the mananger and process team lead for approval > mananger and process team lead can either approve the request or suggest new changes > then the SAP Security Engineer will do the changes i(if any) and then unlock the user.
    Option 2)
    One of the Process Team Leads is suggesting that we assign the roles to the positions once, get it approved and then whatever happen we don't care.
    Please let me know what is the best way, and I am sure the first option is the best but a lot of manual work.
    I hope to get good response on this and I hope if there is supported document from SAP.

    In addition to Julius comments, I like to add the following base on our current security design.
    We have something similar to option #2 in place.  We have HR base security by positions.  We made sure the business owners of the security roles are aware of the security role to position mappings.  We have a matrix of security to position mappings that has been approved by the business owners.  Exceptions are address in the form of a Help Desk ticket.
    In this example all managers will get a set of roles.  The clerks will also get a set of roles.  Again these will be pre-approve role to position assignments.
    Position: Manager
    Assign Role: Z-GL-MANAGER & Z-AP-MANAGER
    Position: Clerk
    Assign Role: Z-GL-CLERK & Z-AP-DISPLAY
    Option #1 - It's too much work and you are assuming that all the players involve on the business process will follow through, from notification of move, to approval, and more notification, etc.
    As long as the business owners are aware and understand how position base security works option #2 is the way to go.  Of course we have other procedure in place before handing out security credentials, from submitting an SAP access form to mandatory training, etc.  We currently do not have the man power to have option #1 in place.
    Good Luck!
