  • Colors are funky

    Hey guys,
    This is my first problem with my mac .
    I was installing an upgrade of Windows Vista on my XP portion and after the install finished all of my colors were messed up. (Even on my mac portion) When I push the option key to boot into either Macosx/windows those icons are discolored etc..
    I have checked my settings in Macosx.. and theres no problem there
    Did I mess up the graphics drivers or..
    Any fixes?

    I experienced this while replacing the internal screen in my MacBook Pro CD 2Ghz (It was out of warranty and I managed to smash the LCD):
    The Apple came up distorted and on logging in, the colours would be distorted.
    When I plugged in an external display, magically the colours righted themselves, but unplugging the display resulted in the same broken colours again.
    I reset the PRAM by holding down Option (alt) Command (apple) P R while powering on, and keeping it pressed down until the second BONG.
    This caused the bootup apple to appear on the external display.
    I shut down and the colours were ok on the next boot.

  • Why are thunderbolt display camera colors are not accurate?

    The colors while using the camera are very purple.  Using facetim when I switch to the MBP camera, the colors are fine.  This is a new display and because I did not discover the issue until after 15 days, apple will not exchange it.  Any suggestions will be appreciated. 

    I had a similar issue with an iSight G5 about a year ago. The colors began to go funky on the screen and I ran every test I could think of. The situation gradually worsened and I finally put the iMac to rest in a back room in my basement. The hard drive still works and the information is accessible on it and I have retrieved just about everything I can think of from it. The computer didn't die, but the monitor did. An iMac without a working monitor is kind of useless.
    I'm guessing your iMac is fairly old - by today's standards anyway - and even if the monitor issue can be resolved, it may not be worth the cost. You would have to find that out on your own at an Apple Store or a Mac repair shop.
    Maybe it can be repaired .... and this is just my opinion .... but I would find a nice recycling place to lay the Mac to rest and buy a new one.

  • When printing photos at my hp 1514n the colors are odd + not suitable. using win7 64bit +lat. driver

    Hi, I' using a hp 1514n for printing photos. It's attached to my Win7 64bit computer. But the colors are not suitable. Printing is in high quality but the coloras are wrong (i.e. instead of a bule sky I get it  turquois).
    all patches installaed and also the lastest drivers. What else can I do?
    The files are ok, because I get the right colors when printign the files at another hp color laser jet with win7 (32 bit)
    Where can I get a suitable icc file?

    I'd use the GutenPrint drivers. They're usually better than the drivers that HP ships, anyway, and the latest version of GutenPrint will work with Leopard while the HP drivers for a printer that old will not. The drivers at <http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/MacOSX/hpijs> also explicitly support the DJ960C. Those drivers are usually written by HP employees, are often superior to the drivers HP uses, and, like the GutenPrint drivers, are free.

  • Colors are printing incorrectly when exported to PDF but print fine from InDeisgn and Photoshop

    Documents I create in Photoshop and InDesign and export to PDF print in different/wrong colors. The colors are fine when printed directly from Photoshop or InDesign, they look correct when viewing the PDF, but change when printed from the PDF (specifically blues print as purple). How do I fix this?

    This really sounds like a color management issue.
    How are you creating the PDF files from InDesign or Photoshop? We recommend using the PDF/X-4 settings for proper printing from Acrobat or any direct PDF RIP/printer.
    Also would like to know what type of printer you are printing to.

  • How do i get Firefox to print web pages in black and white only (colors are interpreted in grayscale and some are too light to be read)?

    i have a black and white laser printer. Firefox prints web pages by sending color images to my printer. The printer uses greyscale to interpret the colors. i really want Firefox to send black and white images to my printer, because with greyscale some of the colors are translated to print that is too light to be seen clearly.
    Can this be done?
    Thanks,

  • Upgraded to CS5 Illustrator form CS3 Illustrator. Colors are not printing correctly in CS5

                                                I have just recently purchased CS5 Premium Suite.  I am working with Illustrator.  When I print my CS3  Illustrator files in CS5 the colors are not printing correctly.  Is there a way to fix this problem

    I've been doing more troubleshooting since I wrote this post. I've now tried printing from a non-Adobe app and I'm getting the same margin error. So it is definitely a Xerox issue and I have a tech coming out on Monday.
    The reason I originally figured it must be an CS5 issue is because just two weeks ago when I was using CS2, our landscape-oriented programs were printing with .25" margins as they should. Then last week after upgrading to CS5, the inside page (2nd page) was noticeably out of whack and shifted to the right (not left). But when I started trying to troubleshoot this week, everything started shifting to the left.
    The only thing different between those two weeks was the fact I updated to CS5.
    But obviously, my printer as decided to go to crap in more ways than one all in a two week period. Hopefully the tech can sort it out next Monday.
    Thanks!

  • Colors are different in PS CS3 Vs CS4, Why ?

    Hi.
    I just found out that colors of a photo in CS3 is not looking the same in CS4 ?
    I have a G5 with Geforce 6600 card in and i had to turn of OpenGL because it was so slow when it was enabled.
    Then i tried to open both Photoshop CS3 and CS4 at the same time to check a picture and saw for my suprice that the colors was not identical.. Weird.
    It is lighter in PS CS4 that in CS3
    Also from Bridge CS4 to Photoshop CS4 it was different.
    Is that normal. I woulden say.
    In my Suite CS3 all colors looks the same in Bridge and PS. OFCAUSE.
    I did check my color settings first. They are the same all over (Adobe 98)
    Is it a bug or is it because i turned of the open GL settings in PS CS4 ?
    If it is because i turned of the Open GL settings in PS CS4, that would be a very bad
    thing to do because many people have older computers where the GPU dosent work
    well with the Open GL settings ON and you can at least work when its OFF.
    But not if the colors are not right.
    Please. If someone could replay on this matter. I'm sure more people will like to know
    this. I'm not even sure many people noticed this, so everybody.
    If you have Creative Suite CS3 and CS4 on your Mac.
    Try uncheck the Open GL settings in PS CS4 and restart PS.
    Then compare the picture in PS CS3 and CS4 at the same time !!!
    Hope someone have some answers ?
    Thanks you

    Hi Chris.
    Good news. I cant tell you how happy i am for all your help ;-) and you other guys.
    The latest Eizo 5.2.1 software fixed the problem on all 3 Eizo monitors.. Weeee
    I'm back to normal.
    Now i just have another damn problem started not long ago ;(
    My Photoshop CS3 and CS4 keeps crashing on me after a wile of work ???
    I tried everything. Deleted preffs etc. etc.
    It have been working for long long time but suddenly it keeps crashing all the time.
    I tried to remove some new plug-ins, but it was not that.
    Only thing i did also was to install new ram.
    Upgraded from 10GB to 14GB in all our Mac Pro.
    So after i tried to switch the ram around to check if some was bad.
    Also run some memory software but everything came out right.
    So now the only thing left is that Photoshop dosent like ram between 14GB & 16GB.
    Under was fine and i never tried over 16 gigs.. weird
    Any ide what could corse this ?

  • Just installed mountain Lion. Viewing a pdf sent to me using preview and some colors are appearing BLACK, however when I view the same PDF in Acrobat they are perfect and what they are suppose to be. WHY would PREVIEW showing a different color?

    Just installed mountain Lion. Viewing a pdf sent to me using preview and some colors are appearing BLACK, however when I view the same PDF in Acrobat they are perfect and what they are suppose to be. WHY would PREVIEW showing a different color?

    Here's what I've found on the issue:
    Pantone color definitions have changed (coinciding with CS6) — they are now "Pantone+" (I think that's what they're called). The "+" apparently means they're now LAB colors. Lab colors are not properly displayed in Preview (or in Finder previews) — they display as black (as far as I can tell, in all circumstances). I'm sure it's a tad more complicated than that, but that's the gist.
    Now the bad news — nobody seems to know anything about a fix or workaround (unless you convert your PDFs to process — this might be a fix for sending to clients). It causes issues for me in AI files — being able to view them in the finder (with previews) is a HUGE time saver for my workflow... when they're all black, not so much.
    In my chat with a director of product dev at Adobe, they placed the responsibility to fix on Apple (assuming Apple wants to support Pantone color definitions in their OS).

  • Colors are displayed not correct

    Hi!
    I use lightroom 3.4.1 on Windows Vista 64bit with a Iiyama PRO LITE E2407 HDS monitor and a ATI Raedon HD3600. The colors of some images that I imported from my Canon EOS 500d into lightroom are "strange".
    If I display the same image with another program, e.g. XNVIEW or windows-live-photo-gallery the colors looks totally different. You can see the differece here:
    (http://wipux2.wifo.uni-mannheim.de/~kesnw/download/HPB/Farbwiedergabe_Lightroom_vs_XNView. PNG - larger)
    The ugly colors appear on both, RAW images and JPG images.
    Where can I influence the colors?
    Thanks,
    Peter

    "The default in Lightroom is ProPhoto RGB color space."
    You can set the choice of color space that's passed to CS5 in Edit menu, Preferences, External editing. That can be anything you want. So I'm assuming you've set ProPhoto RGB.You’re the expert here.  I just installed the product and the default was ProPhoto RGB.  I was just expressing my experience with the default install
    "Right click a file and select "Edit In" CS5."
    So LR passes the file to CS5 in ProPhoto, if you've set that in the preferences
    Once again I just installed Lihtroom with defaults.  Unless a user is made aware of the ramifications of default settings they will not necessarily discover it on their own
    "Do all your edits in CS5 and then "Save As" JPG."
    If you don't alter the colour space in CS5 (Edit menu, Convert to Profile...) then it will still be in ProPhoto, so that's how it will be saved in CS5. So this is not clearly described when using both products.
    "Use a broswer or any other 3rd party viewer and you will see the colors are washed out."
    Only if your browser color management isn't working. Either you don't have appropriate profile for the monitor, or you're not using a colour-managed program to display the image, in which case the colours look very washed out. If you have a calibrated and profiled monitor, and use a colour-managed program to view the image, then it doesn't matter what is the colour space of the image, colour management will sort it out and it will display correctly. The assumption is that JPG will be used on color profiled display is not consistent with the default save options.  Why would a “save as” color space be deferent from the export to JPG file?  They are both sRBG files and not consistent or clear to the end-user. 
    "In CS5 use the "File/Save for Web & Devices" and save a JPG version the colors are more accurate in the JPG"
    Yep, because save-for-web converts to sRGB. Normal monitors are approximately sRGB, so even if colour management isn't working (no monitor profile, or using unmanaged software) then when you display an sRGB image on a normal monitor, colours will be approximately (though not necessarily exactly) right.    Yes.  So the “Save As” option does state sRGB and does not distinguish any color spaces or differences in the menu.  So until you post or email the files, a user will ot see the effects of the settings.  Have you tried this?
    "If you then change the default in Lightroom to sRGB and run through the same sequence you get a better color match in the (step 2) “File/Save As” JPG."
    Again, I assume you mean changing the Edit menu, Preferences, External Editing and change the colour space used with CS5. If you set that to sRGB then, without having to do a conversion in CS5, the image is already sRGB, so if you save it then it will still be in sRGB, and it will display correctly on a monitor without a profile or using unmanaged software. Yes, but the “Save As” does not distinguish between sRGB or ProPhoto.  For example if I used a 3rd party asset management product to export the file to CS5 and used “Save As” in CS5 it would create a JPG file viewable in a unmanaged monitor/software/display more accurately.  I have been a long time Photoshop user, but new to LR.  These issues or lack of understanding on my part only occurred after I installed LR 3.  I'm assuming Adobe would like to have both LR and CS5 to work seamlessly together or is that a bad assumption?

  • Cell background colors are not showing in preview - help? - DW4

    Hi,
    I created a horizontal table for my menu bar, and gave each cell a different color by creating a separate class for each with background image - image is a block of color created in Photoshop. In design mode they look they way I want, but in preview (Safari) the colors don't show up at all - the whole area is gray, and all I see is the text for each cell. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Alternatively, is there a better way I can set this up to have different colors for each button?
    Thank you!

    Here is the HTML code, and the CSS code for the menu bar follows: 
         ul.MenuBarHorizontal           
    ></style><style type="text/css"><!body {     background-color: #FFF;     font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;}-->
        h1.  
         ul.MenuBarVertical

  • My iPad colors are fuzzy with lots of reds and purples.  Did this once before and cleared up.  This time it won't clear up.  Any suggestion?

    My iPad colors are fuzzy with lots of reds and purples.  Looks like my digital camera when it needs to be recharged if that helps describe the issue.  Can anyone help?

    Next step is to back up and restore via iTunes. If the problem continues, restore as a new device and test. If the problem is solved, there is some kind of corruption in your backup file. If it continues, take it to an Apple store for evaluation of a possible hardware problem.

  • Video images are garbled and colors are all run together

    Just got a new computer and downloaded newest version of quicktime. I can't watch any videos/webcasts etc. The sound is fine and the video plays but the screen is "garbled" and the colors are all off/run together?
    I can play a dvd fine
    Dont know much about computers and Dell would not help me....any ideas?

    I am having a similar problem and tried the same fix and it did not work for me either. In my case the video plays for a few seconds then get choppy but the audio is fine. Someone on this site suggested that my machine does not have enough to play the H.264 codec. I do have an older machine a compaq 1.20 GHz , 512 MB Ram running XP home sp2. It should be able to run a video. After all I am not on a 486 machine. I finally had to back out of the QT 7.1.6 and currently running QT 6.5.2. It works fine for me at least at this point. But of course now that means I cannot look at videos using the latest format.

  • HT201262 Fonts and graphics are slightly "fuzzy". Colors are not correctly displaying

    After Mavericks installation on my Macbook Pro mid-2012 (non-retina), the fonts appear slightly fuzzy, the graphics seems less crisp and the colors are just "off". This issue seems to be system wide but is much worse whilst using Safari for some reason. (Safari 7.0)
    Please advise and thanks in advance for any and all help/suggestions!

    Hi,
    There should be some problem with system settings. First of all, please check fonts size setting in Windows personalize.
