Major Color Issue

I am having a major color issue in 10.3.9.
Issue #1:
Setting Color Labels...
even though the names of the colors are there, the colors are actually shades of blue and gold.
Issue #2:
Mac Icon...
normally on the dock, it's 2 shades of BLUE.. however on mine, it's 2 shades of GOLD.
Issue #3:
Adobe Programs...
In Photoshop, Illustrator and Acrobat, ALL PHOTOS have this duotone look (blue and black) and the ONLY way to preview a photo in true color, is if I save for web and in that screen, it shows correctly. I'm a graphic designer and it makes it VERY difficult to adjust photos.
I know its not the photos themselves, because they preview correctly when imported into Quark and also when printed. I have also tried switching monitors, to see if that was the issue and I still have the same problem. I had this problem back in January, when I upgraded to 10.3.9, and my supervisor fixed it through DUMB LUCK! I recently had to re-install everything, including the OS and this problem resurfaced. Now it's almost a year later and we've tried everything we could think of, but no such luck. This is my last hope!
Does anyone know how to fix this problem, or has anyone ever HAD this problem? Is it just my negative energy that is feeding into it and making it want to lash out at me?!?!

I am having a very similar issue, and am really pulling my hair out. I have one user that is having this problem - FROM ALL MACHINES! I have deleted ALMOST every preference in ~/Library/Preferences to no joy. Just started yesterday. (I am using network Home Folders - with no other major issues)
Everything looks like it is in 8 bit color.
I have done all the standard fixes. It does it no matter which machine this user logs into, so it is not a hardware or /Library/ issue. It definitely is a ~/ issue.

  • Major color Issues

    I got my MacBook Pro for Christmas, and for the most part it's been amazing. However I'm having an odd issue. When I turn the computer on the colors are all out of whack. It's almost like it's running in 8 colors.
    I've gone into preferences, switched the colors (which is still set to millions) to every other option avalible. Still nothing. The insanely bizarre way I fix is by starting World of Warcraft and exiting it. As soon as I leave WoW the colors fix themselves. This happens every time I restart, or turn the computer off and back on again.
    Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

    If you do a Safe Mode boot…

    … do you also get the same issue? Additionally, yu can try setting your display to different resolutions to see if you can make the the display settings stick. One final thing you can try is to drag the file…
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
    … to your Desktop and then immediately restart. If that fixes things then great otherwise you can drag the newly created file to the Trash and return the original file.

  • Still image color issues - I need help quick!

    I having some major color issues when trying to make a slide show.
    In searching the forums I see I am not the only one, however the other answers given are not working for me.
    I need this project finished today!!
    Here is what I have:
    Several images that have been worked over in Photoshop. They have been saved as JPEG images and brought into iPhoto. From iPhoto they have been brought into iMovie 6.02. Some have the Ken Burns effect, some do not.
    They look nice and clean on the timeline HOWEVER in the preview window they all have green tints. If I use full preview mode they still have the green tint.
    I have tried exporting them from iPhoto and re-entering them back into iPhoto under different names, thrown back into iMovie. Same issue.
    I have tried photos that have not been through Photoshop and were not from the same source...same result.
    This is not good!
    I need this project done today!!!
    Thanks for looking.
    Does apple have phone support for software? I just got iLife 2 days ago.

    Thanks for getting back to me.
    Not that I am glad that it is a bug...but having no history with iMovie it does catch me up.
    As far as monitor color corrections, I make my living dealing with digital images which why I was so freaked out about iMovie destroying all my work when it was brought in.
    Here is what I found while waiting for a reply...which goes along with what you also told me.
    The end goal of the iMovie/slideshow is to be part of an iDVD project.
    When I dropped the Quicktime version of the little slideshow into iDVD the odd color cast was gone. This let me breath a sigh of relief.
    I am a long time Mac user, make my living on them, would buy nothing else, but...this really should be fixed!
    Thanks again for the reply.

  • Major color/saturation issues in dvd authoring

    hi. we've just finished color correction for our indie film, and looking at the digi-beta master on a pro-ntsc monitor- it looks great. but, the dvd's look terrible. there has been a lot of yellow added to warm up the picture. so on the master, the yellow is subtle and applied to the backgrounds, on the dvd, the yellow is awful and everywhere. for example, on a close up of our lead, his skin is so freakishly yellow he looks like an oompa-loompa- not the look we're going for. here's the other kicker- when played on a computer with an LCD monitor, the dvd's look great- like the master. but i've played the dvd's on 4 different television, with 4 different dvd players, and they all look like crap. does anyone know how to solve this color issue in dvd studio pro? we cut the project in FCP. color was final touch, brought back into FCP. quick time exported from FCP, 10 bit uncompressed, 23.98 non-drop frame. then dvd studio pro used to do the authoring. all dvd studio pro settings are at default. THX!

    So you used DVDSP to do the encoding as well as the authoring??
    Have you tried taking a short-ish section of the footage and encoding it wiht something a good deal better, such as BitVice, MegaPEX or Canopus Procoder or Cinemacraft? These will give you much, much better quality encodes and you simply author the project with the MPEG file as an asset instead of the uncompressed file. If you use a short section you can get a better estimation of what is happening before you go for the full encode.
    I realise these encoders are not free, but if you are serious about what you are doing then you'll need to invest in something that is purpose built for the job! The above range from not very expensive to moderate... and Cinemacraft goes into the high end price bracket depending on the version you opt for.

  • There is a major color shift in my artwork image from the photoshop jpeg to dreamweaver - it gets 'g

    There is a major color shift in my artwork image from the photoshop jpeg to dreamweaver - it gets 'grayed out', loses color contrast. I checked in Bridge and the color settings are synchronized. The image in photoshop is just like what i get from my Nikon D90 camera. The  grayed out image has also been noted by two of my professional printer co. which i use but one of my printers - Modern Postcard - the images in photoshop are perfect. I just need to know what causes the color shift and how to control/manage it, thank you, Kathyrn

    I have noted color shifts as well and have come to a few observations.
    When you are making a .JPG file and you are trying to make a color in that file be the same color as your website's background, you're going to get a lot of failures. Photoshop will add color information in an ICC file in the meta information in the file if you like. That tends to produce actual colors, but they do not fit a web gamut.
    The way I generally deal with images that need high quality is that I use the Save for Web and Other Devices exclusively, either ticking on or off the ICC profile for JPEG files and working with what works best. Saving a JPEG with as much information as is possible is usually the best choice but, since JPEG is a "lossy" compression scheme, you are always going to get some issues.
    Additionally, the web browser in question will have control over what is displayed as well.
    So try playing with the ICC profile in Photoshop's Save for Web And Other Devices and see if you can't get things a little more reliable.

  • Major color shifts during softproofing in CS4

    Hi All,
    I'm new here and looking for some help.   I'm running CS4 on MacOS 10.5.8.  I'm not new to color management but am having a problem with a particular output profile that's driving me nuts.
    I usually print at home, and get fantastic results using my home work-flow (and yes, my monitor is calibrated) but recently decided to try my local Costco for printing.
    My working space is adobeRGB--I work on my file, save a copy as a tiff and then softproof using the Nortisu profile provided by Dry Creek photo for my local Costco.  After soft proofing, I flatten, crop, resize and sharpen and then convert to the image to the Costco profile without the embedded colorspace.
    My issue is when I softproof with one image, I get a major color shift--if there's a way to post the file, I'd be happy too.  It turns a lime green frog into a greenish mustard color and I can't recover the color with any amount of adjustment (primarily with selective color channels with hue/saturation and curves layers).  Most of my other photos have very subtle shifts in contrast and brightness, but no major color shifts.
    Any ideas--I know they are using Fuji Crystal Archive paper and an 80,000 dollar Noritsu printer so I wouldn't think I would have huge out of gamut issues, but maybe that's the case?
    Thanks for your help and if there's a way to attach the original file so people can see the softproof themselves, let me know.
    Cheers,
    Gabriel.

    Tai Lao,
    I'm confused--I am embedding the aRGB file into my original file.  Next I am working on a copy of that image which I soft proof with the Costco Noritsu profile.  Only after I have worked on the color shifted image to I convert the profile from aRGB to the Costo profile, so at no point is there no embedded profile in the actual file.  Now, I did do an out of gamut check and lo and behold, the lime green (and that's the best discription of the frog's overall color) was completely out of gamut...what strikes me is that the color shift is so completely extreme!
    Anyway, I'll have to try the color swatch option to choose an in gamut color which I hope closely resembles the color seen in the aRGB image...my question now is how do I view the color swatch!?
    Here's another question--I assumed that sRGB has a narrower gamut than the printers profile, yet when I soft proof the aRGB embedded image using sRGB the color shift is not nearly as extreme.  That's why I feel like something funky is going on using the costco Profile (which is downloaded from Dry Creek to answer someone elses question).  Why would a narrower color space, such as sRGB, retain more of the file's original color than a wider color space, like the Costco Noritsu profile?
    OK...thanks for everyone's help again.
    Gabriel.

  • IPhone 5s screen color issues

    Got a 5s, love, however I was wondering, the color white seems "yellowish". I was able to get one (AT&T) through Best Buy, and ordered one through Apple. Both phones seems to have the white color issue. I went to the Apple store and compared the screens, my phone seems "yellowish", even confirmed by the Apple employee. Anyone else having issues?

    Thank you for your help, Shipping cost is a issue. I will contact the apple soon
    Thank you

  • Major performance Issues after upgrading to 10.9.2

    Hi,
    I have been having major performance issues almost preventing me from using the computer at times.  I suspect I don't have enough memory to run Maverick as the computer was great before I upgraded.
    If any experts or people with ideas for me to speed up the computer, please respond.  If you think the only way to improve performance is add memory or revert back to a previous version of OSX that I have a backup for, let me know.
    Here is the info on my system, thank you in advance!!

  • Camera Raw 8.7.1 color issues

    After the recent camera raw update to 8.7.1 I have noticed some pretty bad color shifts between camera raw and photoshop cs6. The colors in camera raw look very saturated and then when moving into photoshop the saturation shift is pretty dramatic. I never had these issues before the update. I have attached a screenshot illustrating the color issue. I am working on a very good monitor ( NEC PA 242W ) and it is color calibrated using NEC Spectraview calibration system. I have double checked my color setting in photoshop and camera raw to make sure I was viewing the same color space. I am just wondering if this is maybe a bug in the update and others are experiencing the same issues or if I am just missing something.
    I would also add that I am using the Creative Suite CS6 and not CC. If that makes a difference.

    Thanks ssprengel for the suggestions and running a side by side yourself. I went through all my settings and applied your suggestions and did a side by side each time. I even uninstalled the entire creative suite on my system then reinstalled and updated and I still get the same outcome. It was fine yesterday with the previous version of ACR. It seems like the updated version is not showing the image preview in any color space. When I switch the color space in the workflow options the histogram changes but it doesn't seem to affect the preview window. And yes the preview button was checked on it was just when I was using the screen grab tool in windows it took focus away from the application so that is why the settings appear grayed out. I have attached more screen grabs below illustrating all my settings. Also here is some system info if anyone out there has a similar setup and would be willing to test.

  • Photoshop CC Color Issues

    When I updated my Photoshop program two updates ago I began having color issues in Photoshop as the rest of the Adobe Suite.  Regardless of whether the color mode is RGB or CMYK the colors appear washed out on the program.  This image http://i.imgur.com/BWVwbx2.jpg  is an example. The image on the right is a screen shot of the original image of the shoes copied from the website, the image on the left is the same image copied into photoshop. When I try to save the RGB file as a jpeg or a PDF it looks the same as it did in the program, washed out.  However,  when the file is CMYK color mode and I try to save it as a jpeg or PDF it looks like this http://i.imgur.com/TAUyeOf.jpg. Both my coworker and I started having this issue on our seperate computers around the same time so I don't believe that it is a graphics card issue or something along those lines. How can I fix this?  I have tried calling Adobe support, but unfortunately the person on the phone was not very experienced in the program and unable to help.
    Some Info about my computer:
    Currently I have Photoshop CC with the 14.2.1 update.  I have Windows 7 Professional SP1, 64-bit OS,  8 GB of RAM (7.87 GB Usable) and 360 GB free space on the (C:) drive.

    Illustrator and Windows Photo Viewer agree. They should, because they're both fully color managed. I assume Photoshop shows the same.
    Picasa is not color managed. All bets are off there, it can display like anything under the sun, depending on what color space the file was created in, and how your monitor displays color.
    There is a basic checklist for color management issues:
    1 - is the application color managed at all?
    2 - is there an embedded document profile, and what is it?
    3 - what is the monitor profile?
    We've established #1. For #2, see in the lower left corner of the Photoshop image window. Click the little arrow and check "document profile". What does it say?
    #3 is often the critical one. This is where your calibrated monitor profile should be - but if you don't do that, it's often a manufacturer supplied profile. These are often worse than worthless. The best option here is to use sRGB if you have a standard gamut monitor (like the U2412) - or Adobe RGB if you have a wide gamut monitor (like your co-worker's U3011). Yes, there is a significant difference between these two.
    Anyway:
    Go to Control Panel > Color Management > Devices. Set sRGB IEC61966-2.1 as your default monitor profile there and relaunch Photoshop:
    With this setting, Photoshop, Illustrator and Windows Photo Viewer will display  (more or less) correctly. It could still be that the file had the wrong document profile, or none at all, but the file will display correctly as it is.

  • HP 7260: Photo tray = color issues (pink photos)

    Hi,
    I have a 7260 and it's working fine, as long as you don't use the photo tray.
    Today I tried to print a couple of photos on advanced hp photo paper.
    No problems at all, except that the picture is completely... pink.
    So I tried to mangle with the color settings (in windows) and eventually ended up with 6 pink pictures.
    Since I thought this was a settings error, I tried printing straight from the SD memory card.
    I figured that if there was no computer involved, there wouldn't be any setting issues either.
    And thus I ended up with 7 pink pictures.
    I finally decided this would probably be an ink issue, but to make sure I tried to print the same photo on a regular A4 sheet.
    And... no color issues there! Printing on regular A4 sheets works just fine!
    Any idea how I could make the printer print the right colors on the right paper?

    I suggest opening the Print & Scan System Preferences, then highlight your HP Photosmart printer in the printers list and delete it by pressing the minus sign. Now, re-add the printer by clicking on the plus sign and select the printer. Make sure that the 'Print Using:' pull down aut selects the correct driver for your printer. If it doesn't, pull down the list and manually select the correct driver using the 'Select Printer Software' option. Hopefully that will resolve your issue.

  • Color issues

    Hi, I recently installed Creative Suite Web Premium, and have
    weird color issues. If I open a jpeg in fireworks it looks correct,
    but if I open it PhotoShop CS3 or Windows Photo Gallery the colors
    look REALLY bright, not even close.
    Any Ideas on how to fix this?
    Thanks

    In Photoshop, try turning off View > Proof Colors.
    If that doesn't work, try Edit > Assign Profile and choose
    "Don't Color Manage This Document."
    If that doesn't work, try Edit > Color Settings and set
    the "Settings" to "Monitor RGB."

  • Illustrator CS6 color issues when saving JPG

    I have recently gotten rid of the Pantone+ color books and replaced them with the old color books, using the "Workaround 1: Replace Pantone Plus with older Pantone color books" help from Adobe. Followed all of the instrauctions and had no issues until two weeks ago. Then suddenly when saving PDFs I had to start changing the output Color Conversion to ' convert to destination'. I never had to take this extra step before. Now if I do not do this it saves some colors as black. Whatever, I got over that and take the extra step.
    TODAY, now I can't even save JPGs without color issues. Some JPGs save correctly. Then I use the same color in a different file, and it saves completely different. Same color profiles, swatch options, blah blah blah.
    Someone help me. I am extremely fed up with these issues. Like everyone else, this is my job and now it is making a huge impact on my work...

  • Bizzare Color Issue With JPEGs In RGB

    Recently when I've imported any jpegs from either the web or from my Thinkstock account I get strange color issues when it opens the image. Mostly the distortion happens in the whites. By default it opens in RGB mode (figure 1) and the issue goes away if I convert to CMYK mode (figure 2) but the image needs to be in RGB for me to use in an After Effects comp. Is there some step I'm missing in my color management? Thanks!

    Make sure you install the 10.9.1 update.
    Another test you can do is disable GPU drawing in Photoshop's preferences, then relaunch Photoshop.
    If the problem goes away, then it was caused by the video card driver (or, possibly by a defect in the GPU, but those aren't as common).

  • Color issues in Safari

    Hello, I've just uploaded my first Muse site: www.michaelphipps.net
    It worked well and looks perfect in Firefox on my computer (I haven't checked IE yet). In Safari, some of the rollover images are showing as a different color than the background. See the windows with the flags that say "Gallery", etc. You'll notice a small rectangle box around them where the orange (or green on other pages) is darker than the background. I looked on another computer with an older version of Safari and the problem is not there.
    I did some research and discovered that Safari pays attention to color profiles, but other browsers do not. I checked my background images and compared them to my rollover images. Different profiles? Yes! So I fixed that and the problem remained. I've been trying test after test for hours and discovered something strange. I saved the background image and placed it in the site with Muse. I cropped that same image in Photoshop and placed it on the other image in Muse. A quick check in Safari shows that the color issue is resolved- the two images are the same color. I cropped the image even smaller and the same test yielded good results- the colors of the two images are the same. I cropped it again to 221 by 61 pixels and tried it again. The problem is back! According to my tests, the only difference is the size of the image. So either Photoshop is saving the smaller image differently, or Muse is rendering it differently. Why? And how would I stop it?
    Thanks for your help!

    Just a thought - Musing [pardon pun]
    What file format are you using? ,jpg? .psd?  .png?
    Is Bridge in the workflow?  Is Camera Raw in the workflow? Is Save For Web in the workflow? Is Lightroom in the workflow. << any of them have the posibility of being the cause of your color mismatching issue.
    I use Lighroom a LOT, Thus I send photos from there to Photoshop and back. So - I have the color profile in PS set to ProPhotoRGB most of the time.
    Even though I have the 'always ask' about profile mismatches enabled I still have occasional issues with photos leaving PS with strange colors - usually because I'm impatient and not paying attention.
    My suggestion [what I would try] >>
    Be sure the PS used profile is set to RGB:
    Then I would open ALL my images in PS and Convert them all to RGB
