Monitor Displaying a Blue Color .....

Hi
My one year old hit some keys on the keyboard and the color displaying on the monitor has a blue tint. I have tried to calibrate using the ColorSync utility and I have also tried to modify the display properties on the Seeing tab of the Universal Access tool. Neither have solved the problem. Any suggestions?

Get the kid to hit the keyboard a few more times. Maybe he'll fix it.
Or has a future as a colorist using the ProApp "COLOR", which is a part of the Final Cut Studio media production software. Which this discussion forum is dedicated to.
As far as fixing your OS display, its also possible that your monitor cable has been jarred loose...
I've done it myself.

My I phone is restart after some time. Some times find out its off then if I press Home + Power button then again re-start. Some time after coming apple logo it take auto restart ...display become blue color. I have restored through I tunes and got I cloud backup. But stll have same problem.

Try once again to restore using iTunes, but this time without using a backup, to make sure that this is not software related.
If the phone still restarts on it's own, get it checked, this might then be hardware related after all.

PP Program Monitor displays with a color cast

Hi all,
Having trouble with the display in the Program monitor. I'm working with still images at the moment. All the images have a strong blue cast when previewing. They look fine when exported, or if you click on the image to reposition, the color seems to correct, but as soon as I play the sequence the color cast comes back. Also, getting the same cast with .AVI video.
I am only having this issue on my laptop, all works fine on my desktop PC. Both machines are PC's running vista. I've also tried clearing my preferences and reinstalling PP. No luck.
I'm working in NTSC DV now, but have tried creating projects in HDV and others, and still have the problem.
Also, I've tried resizing the images, changing color spaces, etc, nothings worked. The images now are jpegs.
On another side note, opening the reference monitor causes PP to have an unexpected error and crash. Every time. Although this is not really the issue I am worried about at the moment, it might be relevant?
I've posted a sample of what the preview looks like here: www.jessicamans.com/PremierProCS4Issue/index.html
Thanks in advance for your help!

Sounds like an overlay issue. Video card and drivers?

T420s: External Monitor displays flashing Multiple Colors (a la Kanye West video) then shuts down

Has anyone seen this? I've had it happen to several T420s models. While connected to a docking station with the lid closed, the external monitors will just display flashing colors really quickly like in Kanye West's "All of The Lights" music video. Once the display is done, the laptop shuts off. When I first experienced it, it was on my personal laptop. I switched shells and popped my hdd into another one. It ended up happening again sometime down the line. It then happened to my boss' as well. Most recently I've had a colleague report the same issue. Does anyone have an idea as to what could be the issue?

I have the same problem too. I am not using any docking station. It occurs very rarely and I notice it happening when I connect to an external monitor or when in video calls. Happens both in Windows and Ubuntu. I tried switching to a different T420s laptop and I see the same behavior there too (but not as frequently as the other one).
M_Wilson's description of the issue is spot on. The screen flickers colorfully for about 15-20 seconds and then the laptop shuts off completely.
I also noticed sometimes that the laptop gets hot under the part where the display card is present (near the fan outlet vent on the left side). The laptop fan is running at full speed at that time.

Problem with blue color in Photoshop CS4 after calibrating monitor

Hi to all! I would appreciate if someone can help me!
Before some days I calibrated my monitor with Pantone Huey Pro and after that I find out that photoshop doesn't show blue color corectly. I create a blue (0,0,255) page and it looks a bit like violet, while I don't have any problems with red and green (which are perfect), or with other programs (other programs display blue and all colors correctly). But when I save this blue page and open it with a different program I see the real blue color. So the problem is that during editing in Photoshop blue color isn't correct, it's a bit violet.
Can anyone tell me why blue color doesn't behave properly in Photoshop? Is there any setting I should change in Photoshop Color Settings?
I use sRGB on my camera, and sRGB in Photoshop (North America General Purpose 2, sRGB IEC61966-2.1, U.S. Web coated (SWOP) v2, Dot Gain 20%, Dot Gain 20).
Thanks for your time!
George

Thanks for your quick responce!
I update Huey and Photoshop and did the calibration again but it didn't fix the problem. Is it possible that the calibrator doesn't work properly?
My monitor isn't very new, so I don't think it has wide gamut display.
When you say that "if your display is not truely sRGB" you mean that maybe the profile created Huey isn't correct? I have done many times the calibration and the result is always the same.
I think that Paintshop uses color management, too, shouldn't it display the same wrong blue color if Huey's profile is wrong?
How can I check if Huey works properly? Maybe I should try it on a different PC?
Thanks for your time!!!
Best regards,
George

Desktop is no longer displaying all the colors on it's monitor.

My desktop computer is no longer displaying all the colors on its montior. I've replaced the monitor with a known good one and the problem remains the same. The desktop is 6 months old and when I purchased it, the first one had to be replaced because of this exact same issue. This appears to be a common problem. Is anyone else experienced this is issue and has HP recalled any of these specific desktop's because of it?

Wjile there can be no consolation with your plight, you do have the replacement option under warrant. BTW, it does help if you state the exact model or product #. Saying a "series" is like called out that I had a Chevy.

Adobe Photoshop CC, problem with color noise/pixelation on the monitor display

After downloading Adobe Photoshop CC, my images come in with color noise/pixelation on the monitor display. I've tried checking the color space preferences, but this doesn't help. I didn't have this problem before. Is there anything else I can check? There's no problem with LR, just Photoshop.

My performance settings are: Available RAM 10905 MB/using 7633 MG (70 percent); cache levels 4, history 20, cache tile size 1024K. However, I noticed under Graphics processer settings, it is set on Advanced Drawing Mode - perhaps this should be changed to Normal or Basic Mode? Your help is very much appreciated.

Display Calibration Creates Color Profile Problems.

I haven't received any response out of the MBP Display forum and I thought you guys might have better insight anyway because you are dealing with color calibration more often. Here it is:
I used colorsync utility to calibrate my monitor, hoping it would at least get the colors more accurate than they are with the "Color LCD" profile. The Color LCD profile has a bad yellow tinge to it. I went through the process 4 times so I would be able to choose the best profile out of the 4. (Now I can't delete the extra profiles but I guess that is a different topic...) The color accuracy and the gray-tone is MUCH better BUT I have a slight (understatement) saturation problem.
My problem is after using Color Sync, ALL of my REDS are oversaturated and blown out. There is a problem with the blues and greens as well but it isn't as bad. Of course, they look fine in non color managed applications (ie FireFox) but everything else makes my photos look horrible. Even the RAW files straight out of the camera look blown out.
I had, at first edited these files on a PC so they always looked fine but now that I have switched to Mac I have noticed how oversaturated they are in all of its color managed applications. (Safari, preview, and even the desktop.) I thought perhaps that I had just pumped up the contrast and saturation too high on the PC and the color profile was now creating a problem because the color was set for an un-profiled file. BUT after viewing the unaltered .NEF's straight out of my camera, they too are oversaturated.
Now, I have some wallpapers I had downloaded from the web that look the same as before. It is just MY OWN photographs that are oversaturated. Obviously I have chosen the wrong color profile or something is wrong with my workflow. The wallpaper that looks the same doesn't have a profile assigned it when I view-info. It just labels the color space as RGB. All my photos that have problems, have a color profile assigned. I am using sRGB as recommended. There are a few still using Adobe RGB (which is what my camera defaults to) and they have the same oversaturation problem.
Aperture is set to export with an sRGB profile and CS2 uses sRGB as well.
Any advice? What monitor and color management profile's are you guys using?
I can't tell what is right anymore. What should I edit my photos to look good in? The only MONITOR profile that doesn't blow them out is Adobe/Apple RGB, Color LCD, and a few of the other default installed profiles.
I've got a bad case of color vertigo!

sorry uberfoto, did not get what MBP meant at first.
what Jan says about color calibration tool is right....and start again from the RAW.....
i am photographer in the advertisement, reportage, portraits and landscape.
my problem was to get the thinks printed as I saw them on the screen.
here what I have to say on that (part of another discussion):
".... Sorry, but no AppleTFT Display comes close to a hardware calibrated display. Maybe they are semi-professional. I do not say this to insult Apple, ore somebody else, but i say this to sway out the illusion of , " if I just spend more money on the calibration tool and software, I´ll have better prints". It´s just not possible, because the display cant show what is there. A Apple CRT Studio Display is far better in this. I you want to have a flat-screen TFT Display to bring good results, you have to choose one that is able to be hardware calibrated and has a higher lookup table (EIZO, LaCie, QuatoGrafics......)
I use use one professional EIZO CG21" and one semi-prof. EIZO FlexScanL985EX(21") and the diffrence is important between the two.
But i need only one to be Print Proof ready.
Before i was always afraid when i gave the picture file to my client, because of what my pictures look like once it is printed. Now the outcome is right or differs only very little from what I saw on the screen. my calibration tool is EYE ONE. "..
BUT your main problem is how it looks in the web.
my thoughts and suggestion on this:
1. most people see the web on PC Display. those use a gamma of 2.2
(apple = 1.8) so pictures appear more blue with more contrast. this setting is made to hide the low ability of the system and display to show colors as they are and give and give crispy impression. So you will have to consider this when you prepare the pictures for the web. therefor the standard calibration of your MBP is best for your needs. ( for printing the Display has to be set on 5.600 kelvin ,that would be to warm 4 the wwweb).
2.
a) In the beginning I use Aperture 1.5 (or Lightroom) to select and prepare the pictures as I like them.
b) then I export them in 8 bit/300 dpi in the size they will be used as PSD or TIFF.
c) I will then open them in Photoshop (color-settings=web /internet) make the cleaning and so on.( 4 the web I always increase the saturation because sRGB and JPG will throw away lots of colors).
d) AND NOW "save for the web ". This is definitely the best tool to prepare pictures for the web. on the right upper part of the window there is a flash-open menu where you may choose to see the colors like in windows or macintosh system.
and on the lower right of the application-window there is a roll-down menu where you may preview the results in different browsers of your choice.
It is here where you can produce amazing high Q pictures 4 the web under 100 kb.
Hope this may help.
good luck,
larry

LED display has blue cast compared to 23" LCD display

Just purchased the 27" LED Cinema display. It is side by side with my 23" LCD display. The colors are dramatically different. Is there some way to calibrate the new 27" monitor so that it has the same appearance as the 23" LCD or is the technology so different that they will never really look similar? I have a Mac Pro 2 X 2.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon.
thanks

Yes, they do frequently have blue tints which cannot be calibrated out. I had to return two of them because of the problem and eventually just got my money refunded. I was told that Apple Engineering had no fix other than to suggest using a professional calibrator system which would almost certainly have done no good. I'd suggest you return the Thunderbolt display for refund and buy a different brand or wait until Apple releases a new generation of displays, whenever that happens.

Why are grey colors displayed as brown colors in both PS and AI of the CCcloud on Windows 8?

I have a new Asus Ultrabook with Adobe PS and AI installed from creative cloud. Unfortunately colors are displayed wrong in both programs.
Can somebody help me out?
Kind regards,
Patrick

So in short does that mean that I am screwed with my Tachi ultrabook...
Most likely not and it doesn't necessarily mean that your screen is bad.
Is this a manufacturing mistake from Asus? Is their something I can do or do I need to sent it back?
Most manufacturers do not include manufacturer supplied color profiles for their screens and the calibration is left to the users to make the color profiles themselves. By default Windows assigns the sRGB color space for the monitor profile. For monitors that come with manufacturer supplied color profiles the name of the profiles are not with the names of standard color spaces. So, I don't know how you ended up with your monitor profile being AdobeRGB in the first place as shown on your first screen shot. Anyway, manufacturer supplied monitor profiles in most cases are not any better than those without profiles. This is because they can not afford to calibrate each unit individually but only a few and make a guess about the rest of the units and create the profile that is what they think an average color space of all units but they could be very wrong.
Most computer users are not designers and even a lot of designers don't create custom color profiles for their monitors. If the color space of the monitor luckily is closer to the color space of the monitor profile it may be good enough for a lot of users. If it is not the users may experience unexpected colors due to color management conversions without correct color profile. The monitor color profile tells the color managed programs how your monitor displays colors and if the profile is not correct the colors will be wrong.
To create the monitor color profile yourself for the best result you have to use a color measuring device and calibrating software that works with it but unfortunately this cost additional money. There are free programs for generating color profiles like this one without using color measuring devices but relying on eyeballing. These profiles are not as good as those created with color measuring device but most likely will be better than the default profile.

Why do thumbnails in Adobe Bridge CC display in desaturated color?

Running Adobe CC on MBPro 15" Retina with attached Eizo CX271 monitor, Yosemite 10.10.3, MBPro and Eizo monitor are calibrated with Color Munki Photo and running under their own color calibrated profiles. My photo files have always appeared quite similar in Bridge, PS, and LR. Now Bridge thumbnails display as desaturated and color shifted when viewed on the Eizo monitor (my primary workspace for color correction).

We are all just incompetent users here. As pointed out before this is just a user to user forum, Adobe rarely checks in.
I was hoping by now you would have gotten to the bottom of this problem and were offering a solution.

Why can't I get Blue Colors to Print Correctly??? It prints violet/blue!!

I'm runing Windows 7 - 64 Bitwith Adobe CS5 Master Collection. But ever since I allowed CS5 Photoshop to control my new printer (HP Photosmart Prem C310) to do a test print of a graphic that I created all of my Blues print a violet/blue color, no matter what color blue I try to print. It has even affected MS Word & MS Project when I try to print known blue colored fonts or Gantt Chart Blues will no longer print blue. but it will print the same violet/blue color. I've even tried a brilliant stock windows blue which all view great, but prints the same shades of violet/blue! All my color paletes and blues view perfect. My monitor is calibrated and I've reset my new printer several times and still the same problem. I never had this problem before until I installed CS5 Suite.
A strange thing is that I can run the check printer test and the data and image that is stored in the printer willl print every color perfectly, including blues. Plus I've ran a full color copy directly from the scanner bed and the copy prints perfect as well. I almost feel as though Adobe CS5 has possessed my PC and Printer! So does anyone on here have the knowledge of getting this to print correctly like it did before installing CS5 Master Suite? Thanks to all who can take the time to respond back with solutions to my problem as I have been trying to correct it for nearly three weeks now! Could the problem be in Adobes hidden files possibly??? Thanks....

Dave,
there are at least two explanations, why Blue appears Violet on a print:
1. The printer isn't correctly calibrated or not calibrated at all.
2. A difficult explanation, please look here at p.60,61:
http://www.fho-emden.de/~hoffmann/cielab03022003.pdf
(the doc may have 2MBytes)
We are in the color space CIELab. A printer color space (gamut volume)
looks like a fruit in CIELab.
Pure (saturated) blue is mostly out-of-gamut for the printer space -
it cannot be printed with correct appearance.
A gamut compression is required. The blue has to be shifted towards
the middle axis L* of CIELab, in order to make it less saturated.
Correctly that should be done on a curved line (p.60, plane a*,b*),
but often it's done on a straight line towards the middle axis (dashed).
This straight line crosses areas which are not blue but slightly violet!
Remedies:
Use Softproofing for the appearance in the simulated prints.
If it is photo, for instance a blue sky, then shift the sky blue slightly
towards cyan.
If it is a spot color or a strong RGB blue, then use something else.

CMYK images: strange monitor display & and printing

I tried the way Pages 2 handles CMYK images today and found out some strange things.
My problem: monitor display
CMYK .jpg files are displayed inverted on screen like a negative - black is white and white is black. Layouting basicly rendered useless. Is there a work arround ?
Solved: Printing
For printing there are at least two ways to get a decent result. Here my findings:
- Any color printers
"Print - ColorSync - Color Conversion" set to "Standard" => CMYK images get converted to RGB
"Print - ColorSync - Color Conversion" set to "Printer specific" => CMYK images stay in CMYK if printer is able to print CMYK
- use "Save to PDF" within printing dialog
Same as above, profiles tagged to images stay correct
- Adobe Acrobat Distiller
Same as above, but PDF looses recognizeable profile information. PDF workflow software does not recognize "SWOP" or "ISOcoated" by name but has "Embedded Adobe Postscript CRD Profile" instead which will create problems in workflow processing.
- Exporting "File - Export - PDF"
Profiles stay intact and are handled correctly.
Cube, PB 17" Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Thanks Noel for the reply. Hopefully this will help.
This is how the file should look like.
This is how the file usually displays.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
