Is there a way to Synchronize the color of internal and external displays?

I have a 12inch powerbook and I just recently bought a 17inch flat panel monotor to use at the same time. But since I'm using it for my art, I need both monitors to have the same color, contrast, etc. Is there a way to synchronize both monitors so that they match?
thanks for your time.

Your post is highlighting one of the main weaknesses of LCD displays and the reason that CRT-based displays are still the tool of choice for professionals that care about color. The short answer to your question is no, you cannot make your PB screen and an external LCD screen look alike. You may be able to get them closer than they are today, but unless you are really lucky, they probably can't be made to match. There are color calibration devices on the market that will help you try and make adjustments but there are deep rooted reasons why this is mostly a pointless exercise.

  • Is there a way to change the color of the Bezier Curves and points to a different color other than black  I find it perplexing while setting points and curves working on a photo that needs to be separated from it's background for placement on transparent

    Is there a way to change the color of the Bezier Curves and points to a different color other than black  I find it perplexing while setting points and curves working on a photo that needs to be separated from it's background for placement on transparent backgrounds. Any thoughts?

    Yes. Well, sort of: instead of a "path", set the pen tool to "shape" in the tool properties. Then set the fill colour to transparent, and the stroke colour to the colour you want. You can also set the stroke width.
    Not perfect, but at least you can see the path more clearly - the anchor points and handles still remain the default colour. Open the path panel, and right-mouse click the path shape to create a selection based on that shape. The Paths panel menu also allows you to create work paths based on that shape.
    Unfortunately when you try to move the handles the black thin outline appears again until you release the mouse button.
    This is one of several things that works better in Photoline: in Photoline, once the path is set to a specific colour, editing the path uses the actual colour and stroke width. which is extremely handy for creating path based selection with awkward background colours and/or a high resolution screen. In Photoline the handles and bezier points are also much, much larger, which makes it rather simpler to work with as well - especially on a higher resolution screen. And when selected the handles and points are a clear red with a black outline - again easier to spot and identify. I just works better, in my opinion.

  • Is there a way to adjust the color of the Finders file labels?

    is there a way to adjust the color of the Finders file labels?

    Apple has never been good with themes or finder preferences or anything like that. From a marketing and business point of view in the past I would guess they think consistency and therefore exerted brand loyalty outweighs customization, and anyone who really wants to get their own experience will be on linux anyways.
    Nowadays coverflow, expose, smartfolders, aliases and spotlight reduce the need to differentiate between multiple files on the system by a seperate indicator and a colour.

    I'm in a multi-page Pages document, how can i rearrange the pages or insert blank pages in front of pages? Also, is there a way to show the ruler both horizontally and vertically?

    Not on my document. I have a 7 page document open. The "flashing vertical bar" is at the top of page 3. I have the thumbnail view showing. I click page break and two blank pages are added to the end of my document. I have to scrool thru the pages to see that the 2 pages were added as they do not appear in the layout view... I'm not sure if it is inserting a "section" as it adds two blank pages.. But I am clicking on "INSERT PAGE BREAK".. So guess there are still a lot of bugs to fix..
    Thanks again

  • HT5891 Is there a way to remove the menu bar from a secondary display while still using the "Displays have separate spaces" mode?

    Is there a way to remove the menu bar from a secondary display while still using the very useful "Displays have separate spaces" mode?
    The reason I ask is that most full-screen video playback in most applications, from iTunes to Flash/Silverlight plugins do not take up the full screen, instead leaving space for the menu bar (in the case of iTunes) or leaving the menu bar present on top of the video (for fullscreen Flash/Silverlight videos).
    This is annoying for several reasons ranging from the obvious distraction factor to the fact that 1080p video is not played back at native resolution on a 1080p display.
    If there is no way to disable this functionality while maintaining separate spaces, I would (humbly) suggest that a future update to Mavericks allow non-Lion-style* full-screen apps to take over the entire display.
    *Lion-style full-screen apps are those that animate into a full-screen mode when the opposing-arrows full-screen button in the upper-right-hand corner of the window is pressed.

    No. Turning that off reverts to the old display setup. You have one desktop spanned across all displays. The menu bar appears on the primary display only.

  • Is there any way to edit the standard Firefox context menu for displayed Web pages?

    Is there any way to edit the standard Firefox context menu for displayed Web pages? I frequently want to save a picture appearing on a page. Sometimes I "slip" and hit "Send Image" when I want "Save Image As", and have to sit and wait for a default send-mail page to come up, then close it, fiddling with its "are you sure" dialogs. This is a painful way to handle a slip-up. I basically NEVER want to e-mail an element directly from a page. Is there any way I can just delete "Send Image" from the context menu?

    You can remove entries in the context menu with code in the userChrome.css file

  • Is there a way to change the color of your calendars in the calendar app when it has been synced with multiple calendars?

    I have just purchased an iPad 2 and I have gotten it setup to sync with my multiple calendars on Google Calendar.  But the colors I have chosen for displaying my calendars in Google Calendar are not being used when the info comes over to the iPad.  The iPad is choosing it's own colors for each calendar.   Is there a way to customize this so I know who's calendar I am looking at by color shown?  Thanks!

    Size is never included in a style for a shape.
    If you want to apply the resizing to all shapes, you can use the small flyout menu after applying the resizing to one shape, and choose Apply to all items of this type.

  • Is there any way to change the color scheme in a document in Pages?

    I have come from a PC using Publisher for a weekly newsletter and am trying to use Pages to accomplish the same thing.  i want to change the color scheme from week to week and have not found a way to accomplish this.
    I am currently using Word for Mac for this, but I would like to move over to Pages.  I'm playing with it some, but can't seem to find a way to change the color of the publication from week to week.  To change to another template all together would cause me to have to reinvent the wheel each and every week, and I'm not willing to do that.
    Adobe Illustrator is an option, but it looks mighty complicated to set it up...  And I've balked at the price tag.
    Any suggestions?

    Pages does not have Themes like Word.
    There might be other ways to achieve what you want by swapping master objects and changing colors of Styles. A bit more work but not horrendously more.
    You can name color swatches in the Color Picker so you could set up a set of colors there then update styles and objects systematically using those swatches.
    Illustrator would be an extremely poor choice for a Newsletter.
    Have a look at the new Swift Publisher 3 in the App Store, currently 30% off. They have added some very good tools that have brought it into a much more Pro usable form. Including many key features that Pages lacks.

  • Is there a way to combine the best of slideshow and tooltip widgets?

    I am trying to produce a sliding menu similar to the "Now Playing" movies listed on this website : http://themoviehouse.com/   
    where you can mouse over and a box pops up and stays up so that you can click links within the box. The catch is that I need this box to disappear when the mouse is not on it so that content behind the box is again visable.
    I have seen this on so many websites so I assume can build this in Muse.
    Obviously with tooltip the box does not stay open. With a slideshow, the box does not disappear when you are done.
    Is there a way to combine the two or is there another widget that allows me to create what I am looking for?

    Install the Apple Configurator (osx only) and it will cache the iOS update on there after it's been installed once.  From then on each device you plug-in will take the update from Apple Config without having to download it.  I have this setup on a macbook air and it saves me a lot of time.
    The updates are device specific so make sure you update one iPhone 4, one 4S, one 5, one iPad etc before heading out to sea.  I thought installing the update on an iPhone 4S will work on an iPhone 5 but the first iPhone 5 I connected needed to download.
