MacBook Pro and Color

If you'll notice on the system requirements for FCP Studio 2, Color needs a monitor that will do 1920x1080. I was at the Apple store yesterday and I'm deciding between the 15" MBP or the 17" MBP with the additional higher resolution. Here's the thing with Color: It'll work, the program will start up and you can make changes, everything is fine, but it's designed for HD color correction. If you are using a monitor that is less than 1080 it's not up to its full potential. For me that's okay, I just want to be able to edit on my laptop and do some extra stuff. I was afraid the program wouldn't even start. For me if I need to do HD accurate color correction, I'll do it on another computer.
Just wanted to share.

JBSFILM,
I have a MacBook Pro 17.
Spec. below.
Although I am an amateur in the use of FCP studio and find the learning curve vertical, I chose a specification with the 1920x1080 screen because COLOR needs that resolution.
COLOR is working very well on the MBP.
I have read that graphic card in my kit is very important for the successful use of COLOR
I do not have room for more kit on my desk.
But video films are only for family use.
Go for the 17 with the high res screen.
Buy your 4 Gb. RAM from Crucial.
Michael.

    I bought a second hand Macbook Pro and colorful stud
    Only after a few months I decided to reformat it
    Bad movie started here I did not get it with a disc and I come to install the operating system
    And he asks the name of Apple's user ID financed had been bought Lion OS Now
       And who sold me does not answer then I found the phone number of his mother
    She said he lived in USA and paid him more than the lion version of the MacBook and now I can not install Lion
    And I'm not from USA

    Unless you go back to the original owner, yes you need to pay for it again.
    You're entitled to the OS that shipped with the device from Apple, but if you don't have that media there's nothing you can really do.  If the system originally shipped with 10.7 or 10.8 then when you boot it to Internet Recovery, it will automatically offer you that OS version (as the serial # is registered with Apple).  If it shipped with an older OS, then you need to enter the Apple ID that purchased 10.7 or 10.8.  You didn't purchase it so that's not you.
    The options you have are to buy Lion for $29 US (I don't know the price in Palestine), or Mountain Lion for $19 US (don't know the price in Palestine either), and install from scratch.
    And it's a good idea to know you have restore media before you reformat your machine.

    I am having some huge problems with my colorspace settings. Every time I upload my raw files from my Canon 5D mark II or 6D the pics are perfect in color. That includes the back of my camera, the pic viewer on my macbook pro, and previews. They even look normal when I first open them in photoshop. I will edit, save, and then realize once i've sent it to myself to test the color is WAY off. This only happens in photoshop. I've read some forums and have tried different things, but it seems to be making it worse. PLEASE HELP! Even viewing the saved image on the mac's pic viewer is way off once i've edited in photoshop. I am having to adjust all my colors by emailing myself to test. Its just getting ridiculous.

    Check the color space in camera raw, the options are in the link at the bottom of the dialog box. Then when saving make sure you save it to the srgb color space when sending to others. Not all programs understand color space and or will default to srgb. That won't necessarily mean it will be accurate, but it will put it in the ballpark. Using save for web will use the srgb color space.

  • How can I get the old view of iCal back on my MacBook Pro and iPhone?

    How can I get the old view of iCal back on my MacBook Pro and iPhone?  The Mavrick version is crisp and clean but a colored dot is not the same as a highlighted word. I rely on my iCal on my MacBook Pro and iPhone 5 to help me track which of the 8 sites I visit for my job during the week - the color coding is (was key) to organizing and tracking meetings.  I hate the upgrade! 

    If purchased through the Mac App Store then it can be installed on up to five authorized CPUs. Otherwise, it's controlled by the license that came with the software.
    To install on another computer copy the downloaded installer application to the other computer.

  • Macbook pro screen color vs. macbook's

    I have a macbook and yesterday i bought macbook pro and i realized colors on mbp screen is different with mb
    i prefer macbook screen colors how can i have it on my mbp please

    The Pro's have newer and different screen technology, resulting in a different color curve and response. Run the ColorSync Utility found in the Utilities folder and compare the Color LCD profile on each of the computers to understand the concept.
    You can try to simulate the MB screen on the MBP, but it will never be the same. They're two different beasts.

  • Power ran fully out on my MacBook Pro and is currently recharging. However, cannot get it to restart. Totally dark and have tried to deactivate via power button, keys and track pad but get no response

    Power ran fully out on my MacBook Pro and is currently recharging. However, cannot get it to restart. Totally dark and have tried to deactivate via power button, keys and track pad but get no response

    Sulapeace,
    for how long has your MacBook Pro been recharging? Has the light on your MagSafe connector changed color since you’d started recharging it? What do your battery level indicator lights show when you press the button next to them?

  • Macbook pro and adapter problems

  • Macbook pro and ViewSonic monitor

    Yes I have a 2.4Ghz MacBook Pro and a View Sonic Graphic Series G90f monitor. Every time I connect the monitor to the view sonic the display losses color tent. It's almost like it's using a new custom display profile even tho it says it's not. Had anyone had an issues where you plug in a view sonic monitor and the color get's almost a little dull looking?

    It does sound like a color profile problem. There is a checkbox that will list other profiles, versus only those lited for the detected monitor. Uncheck the box and try some of the listed profiles.
    I had the same problem on a Polaroid LCD TV, and I was able to find a profile that gave much better results.

  • Macbook pro retina color profile changes when switching from integrated to discrete

    Late 2013 macbook pro retina color profile changes when auto switching from integrated to discrete graphics card. Problem started after updating to 10.9.3

    Same here. Really annoying because I have my screen calibrated for photo editing, which makes it much warmer than the default color profile. A lot of websites cause the graphics cards to switch for a couple of seconds, which causes the profiles to switched back and forth a few times, everytime. Really annoying, and dissapointing to see, considering Apple released like a hundred .3 betas.
    You can use gfxCardStatus to make it stay on one graphics card over the other... Just remember to change it back when you're using a program that actually needs the descrete card.

  • Officejet Pro 8600 - Macbook Pro and Macbook Air will not print

    Products:
    HP Officejet Pro 8600
    Macbook Pro (Mac OS X, Version 10.7.5)
    Macbook Air (OS X, Version 10.8.2)
    Question:
    Why did my Macs initially print fine, but now will not print at all?
    Full Story:
    I have a wireless network at my house that consisted of a 30mb cable internet, Netgear 900n, HP Officejet Pro 8600, 2 Dell Laptops with Windows 7, a Lenovo Laptop with Windows 7, and Dell Tower with Windows 7 - All printed just fine.
    The HP Officejet 8600 was added to my network about 2 months ago.  
    I added a Macbook Pro and a Macbook Air about 3 weeks ago.  Both Macs printed just fine for about a week.  Then suddenly they stopped.  I spent about 2 hours on the phone with HP Service, and they finally said it must be my router.  So I called Netgear.  Netgear was useless!  They wanted me to agree to charges for services before they would even discuss the issue.  
    Due to information provided by HP's service support, and because Netgear will not support their product, I promptly purchased a new router - an Apple Airport Extreme.
    The Macs recognize the printer, will print if hardwired via a USB cable, but will not print wirelessly to the Officejet Pro 8600.  The PCs print fine.  
    The frustration that is being felt is compound by the fact that the Macs printed just fine with the Officejet Pro 8600 2 weeks ago, and now the printer just shows "idle"... even with a new router. (see image below)
    Please help, I appreciate any support.  
    As a side note, the HP Service rep was very friendly, and definitely tried to support the HP Product, which is much more than I can say about Netgear.
    Thank you,
    This question was solved.

    Hi,
    More likely the issue related with Multicast, which Apple devices relies on to communicate with teh device through the network.
    First try unplugging the router for 30 seconds.
    Plug it back to the power and wait for 2-3 minutes.
    Turn the HP printer Off and back On, then check for any difference.
    If the same persists, try changing your router configuration as following
    Note: the settings below are not related with the HP product, I provide you the steps as a best effor and those are only based on my own knowledge. you may try modifying the router settings at your own risk:
    Open the router configuration page (can be found listed as the Default Gateway by clicking the Wireless icon on the printer, then print a network configuration report.
    Click the Advanced tab.
    Click the Setup option from the menu, then click on WAN Setup.
    Make sure to uncheck the box next to Disable IGMP Proxying and Apply the changes.
    Click the LAN Setup on the same Setup menu.
    Set the RIP Version as RIP-2 and Apply the changes.
    Reboot your router and then check for any change.

    I have an older macbook pro and the hard drive is starting to go (making loud noises). i tried to back up to an external hard drive (my passport essential se) using time machine and the computer keeps shutting down. the same thing happens when just trying to save my pictures from iphoto to a flash drive. suggestions to complete backup please?

    Sounds like you'll need to access that drive while it is not booted. You need to replace it anyway, so do that, then one way or another (ext enclusure, et), access it and copy files.
    If you keep trying to boot it, you might kill it for good and not get your files, so just swap it out first.

    The camera must be plugged in to AC power (not batteries only). And generally, the camera should be set to Play mode, not recording mode.
