Light colours now hard to see?

My Cinema display recently changed for some reason. I use my mac for graphics every day and suddenly light colours that were previously showing are now too light and don't show. The colour seems to have affected indesign and web browser content the most and I'm not sure why.
I've re-calibrated and also tried another monitor but the problem persists?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

In the "Seeing" tab of "Universal Access" system preference, make sure the "Enhance contrast" slider is all the way to the left ("Normal").

  • IPhoto suddenly wants to export only unedited photos now. Why do no crops or light/colour adjustments get saved?

    INTRO: I have used iPhoto for many years (since iPhoto 5 I believe). As a non-professional photographer, I have been very happy with the application, as it has let me do most operations I need: Photo organising, adjustments of light, levels, contrast, colour balance, straightening and crop. (I haven't even had the need for Photoshop Elements for several years.)
    I usually make some adjustments to each and every shot – some big and some small – before exporting as a high quality JPEG for uploading to Flickr or other places I use them.
    PROBLEM: I have recently upgraded to a new Mac and iPhoto '11, and have been using this version happily for about a month now. Earlier this week, straight out of the blue, iPhoto has decided "all by itself" to stop saving edited/adjusted/cropped JPEG exports of my Nikon RAW photos, and instead only saves the unedited version as a JPEG. None of my crops or light/colour adjustments get saved anymore! (I first noticed when a closely cropped shot came out uncropped, and a shot I'd converted to black/white came out in full colour.)
    (Strangely enough, it seems iPhoto treats "original JPEGs" differently, as shots from my non-RAW cameras get exported with my edits preserved.)
    Has anybody else experienced the above described problem with exporting photos? Is it a bug, or is it some setting somewhere that I am not aware of? If I can't resolve this issue, I will have to stop using iPhoto and find a new "photo lab" and establish a new workflow. I hope I don't have to.

    Hi again, Terence, and again thanks for your advice.
    I tried the Rebuild Library operation during the weekend, but having some 160 GB (1400+ events and 20000+ photos from 2007–2011) in my main (corrupted) iPhoto library, the operation seemed like it would be taking the whole of Saturday and maybe Sunday as well. I started the rebuild in the morning, iPhoto Library Manager chewed its way slowly through my photos, but iPhoto kept crashing every once in a while (especially often if other applications were running at the same time). When it had been working for about six hours, the import part was finally finished, but the metadata rebuilding process looked like it would be taking hours still, and I really needed to get to work on some other things on the same machine. So unfortunately, I had to abort.
    Thus, on Sunday morning, I changed strategies: I decided to use iPhoto Library Manager to break off a smaller subset of my gargantuan problem library to a new library. I had already made a full manual backup of the corrupted Library to a USB external hard drive beforehand (and I also have continuous Time Machine backups), so I am pretty lax with "destructive" stuff right now, as long as they can fix my problem. This is how I'm working now:
    I created a completely fresh and empty iPhoto library, and used iPhoto Library Manager to move a handful of recent iPhoto events from the corrupted library. I have now tried some edits and exports, and the new library is behaving healthy at the moment. I'm keeping my fingers crossed – if things work as good as they seem in the days to come, I will split up my entire, corrupted 2007–2011 library into separate sets. (Maybe one or two for each year.)
    And in the future, I have decided to make a new iPhoto library every 1st January and 1st July.

  • How can I change the grey colour of all window headings they're too hard to see?

    how can I change the grey colour of all window headings they're too hard to see?

    Hi Chris,
    The only way that I know of to change the colour of the window headings, these,
    is in the System Preferences > Universal Access > Seeing > Display and change the White on Black settings, using grey scale in there to helps, but it also opens a hole lot of other issues as it reverses all colours throughout the system. You can switch it back and forth as shown on this setup screen.
    Other than that, maybe changing the screen resolution so that all items are larger or zooming the screen when you require it by holding the Control button and scrolling the mouse or two finger scroll on the trackpad.
    There may be, of course, a third party app that changes the colours by searching google.
    Hope this helps

  • Western digital hard drive worked fine on my pc. I connected it to my macbook and it began time capsule, but now I cannot see any of my files on either my mac or pc?

    My Western digital hard drive worked fine on my pc. I connected it to my macbook and it began time capsule, but now I cannot see any of my files on either my mac or pc? Please help

    Hi there,
    Thanks for the reply.
    I plugged my usb hard drive in and what looked like time capsule started automatically on my mac. The same hard drive worked perfectly on my laptop pc before, now it connects but isn't visible in my computer.
    My second hard drive works perfectly well on both my pc and mac, so I am not sure what has happened to the one in question.
    Regards,

  • C3 keypad light makes the keys hard to see when th...

    C3 keypad back light on the "blue keys "which appear to be hard to see and fade, is this a phone feature please.
    Can live with it if I have to. Thanks jayhil

    I believe this was reported as some sort of bug. Not sure if it sill holds with the latest firmware available since end of July / start of Aygust (do update if if haven't done it yet).
    Anyway, apparently it suffices to have the screen light level at 3 (middle) or above.
    I had set 2, and had that same frustrating issue. Then I read that solution elsewhere, and problem was gone for good.
    Cheers!

  • I have just upgraded my iphone to iOS7, I use reading glasses and now it's really hard to see anything, thin, pale gray font, an overall lack of visual definition, surely this is a downgrade?

    I have just upgraded my iphone to iOS7, I use reading glasses and now it's really hard to see anything, thin, pale gray font, an overall lack of visual definition, surely this is a downgrade? Built-in apps and their icons now look awful, why was it necessary to fix something that wasn't broken? Just to keep web designers busy?

    Go into your settings and you can adjust the text and the contrast on your phone.
    I wear bifocals and I'm not having an issue and my eyes appreciate the reduction of clutter.

  • I just updated to the newest version of Firefox and now none of my themes work. It's just all white and very hard to see.

    I have windows XP, just updated to the newest version and not none of my themes work. It's just all white for my tabs and tool bar. Very hard to see. I've reinstalled the themes and nothing works.
    Any ideas?

    You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.

  • Is there any way to increase the contrast of the slider in the Table of Contents? It becomes very hard to see as you slide down a presentation. This has been asked before, a few years back. Has a solution been provided?

    I designed an interactive script using Captivate 7. It works like a branching scenario, and is currently in use by about 350 phone operators, soon to be over 750. Everybody is pretty happy about it, but I am getting complaints - especially form the older people - that the slider in the TOC is very hard to see, and I agree - as you scroll down the TOC entries, the slider becomes lighter and lighter in color. Is there any way to tweak it so that I can increase contrast, or recolor it in a darker tone? I know this was discussed a couple of years ago, but I don't know if the issue was addressed by Adobe, or if anyone has come up with a solution.

  • Finally upgraded to Lions OSX. The Mac screen is now hard to view as everything has a grey tinge. How can I improve this? Tried

    Finally took the plungs and upgraded to Lion OSx so that I could access icloud. Everything worked ok but I now find it difficult to view the screen. Everything has a grey tinge and with my poor eyesight it's really frustrating. Zooming in is ok but I would really like more contrast. What was wrong with crisp white and deep black? Have tried to change the profiles in System Preferences but it's confusing to follow and after 3 attempts I still don't like any of the profiles. My photos all have an unnatural colour now. How can I improve this and bring everything back to 'normal'? Whose 'bright' (?) idea was it to make everyting grey and why???

    Thanks. Very helpful. It's now less of a strain for me. But the fonts are still too pale. I really need to be able to read words that are black. In Mail, the sender and headings are dark enough, but the content is still too light for me to read without straining. Any other suggestions?

  • I am extending my airport extreme by adding an airport express. I had no problem setting it up and got green lights but now I cannot get on either because it says it is a self assigned IP?

    i am extending my airport extreme by adding an airport express.
    Does this mean that you are connecting the AirPort Express to the AirPort Extreme using a wired Ethernet connection....or....are you connecting the AirPort Express to the AirPort Extreme wirelessly?
    but now I cannot get on either because it is a self assigned IP?
    I suggest that you first concentrate on getting the AirPort Extreme working correctly. Power off the modem and both the Extreme and Express, wait a few minutes, then power up the modem and let it run a few minutes. Then, power up the AirPort Extreme and check the network for proper operation. Leave the AirPort Express off for now. Report on your results.

  • Color Scheme Change for Webbrowser (Opera) hard to see.

    Using kde 4.5.
    Plumbum Tones color scheme.
    Hard to see the adress bar in Opera, google search bar, and hard to see the light grey that I am currently typing in. Is there a way to change the color scheme only for opera, the color scheme looks good on everything else (pidgin, dolphin).
