  • Macbook Pro Color Profile and Calibration for Photo processing.

    Hello Friends,
    May be it has already discussed in many forums but somehow I got confused about different solutions of the questions and due to this asking once again here.
    I am using Macbook pro of 2012 and there exist many color profiles in the Display settings.
    I am a photographer who uses Photoshop for the editing as well as Canon Software.
    To get the most accurate Monitor Calibration Should I use default "color LCD" profile ?
    I am not using any External Calibration tool. I have manually calibrate the screen but somehow I am not 100% confident on that.
    In that case should I go for default "color LCD" for my photo processing. I found some light yellow cast/warm color on that profile but I am not sure..
    Any help/suggestion will be much appreciated.
    I am using:- MacBook Pro + OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.5
    Warm Regards,
    Ari...

    Which model MacBook Pro? [EDIT] my bad, didn't see it in your original post
    You mentioned that there is no error message when you try to change the profile; something is probably being reported to console though. Open Console.app (in /Applications/Utilities/) and see if anything is reported to it while you're experiencing these problems. If so, please post it here and I'll take a look at it.
    Are you using the default profile that came with the machine or did you create your own by using the Calibration Assistant?
    You might try opening Color Sync Utility (in /Applications/Utilities/) and verify or repair (if necessary) your color profiles.
    Hope this helps....

  • Color profiling and calibration in MacBook Pro

    I work a lot in Photoshop with sRGB color space. Should I have this color profile set for my Mac display then (or which setting is recommended)?
    Does the calibration in Mac replace an external calibration device functionality such as using e.g. Spyder4Pro?

  • I have the original iPad and today 2 inches of the screen went to all color lines. Cant' work or play?

    I have the original ipad. Today 2 inches of the screen went to straight color lines. Can't change it! Can't read or work. HELP!!!! Please : )

    Sounds like hardware failure.
    Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.

  • Using Color profiles and exporting for web browsers

    I've been trying to figure out the answer to this question. As I'm sure you're aware Safari supports color profiles while other web browsers like Firefox do not. I would like to setup Aperture so that it displays and exports images for the widest audience possible. Unfortunately it embeds a color profile and my images on the web only display correctly in Safari. I've tried changing the proofing profiles and export settings to no avail. I didn't seem to have this problem in iPhoto, a picture there looked the same on screen as it did in Safari and Firefox but I can't achieve the same with Aperture...

    Thanks for that information, unfortunately I'm not really any closer to solving the issue since I've already tried that. 1) by default, doesn't Aperture automatically embed the sRGB color profile? 2) if I set view>proofing mode to sRGB shouldn't what I see on screen match what a "dumb" application such as Firefox does when it ignores the embedded profile and display sRGB? I've tried going into the preferences>export settings and changed everything to sRGB IEC61966-2.1 but I see no difference in the final image between that and the default setting.
    I guess my question is more specific to Aperture since I don't have this problem with other applications. For example, in photoshop if I do Export for Web it strips out any embedded profile and when I open that image in Firefox and Safari side-by-side they are exactly the same. But not so when I export an image from Aperture, when opened in Firefox it is desaturated and flat and of course in Safari it honors the embedded profile and looks fine.

  • One again about color profiles and lightroom

    I have wide gamut monitor (nec pa271w) and I tried to calibrate it. After calibration it created new color profile and make it default in windows color managment. But now all pictures in Lightroom are not so colourful as they were before. If I choose srgb(default profile for windows) the colors become as they were before calibration but in this case I see srgb color space and not full color that my monitor can produce. I read articles about calibration but didn't find how to solve the problem with lightroom.

    You wrote
    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}But now all pictures in Lightroom are not so colourful as they were before.
    This is probably the effect of your now calibrated monitor vs. the uncalibrated one.
    Often uncalibrated monitors show highly over-saturated colors. It looks very rich and flashy and people are wowed.
    But these over-saturated colors cannot be printed and do not reflect the true state of the image data.
    When your monitor is calibrated properly it will display the colors as they should be.
    When you chose sRGB all the colors - particularly the reds and greens - will appear more saturated. That is the effect of this color space that is much smaller than Adobe RGB or Pro Photo RGB.
    LR will automatically find and select your calibrated color profile if it is saved in the right place / folder.
    And you can't change that. There is no provision for a different color space in LR.
    WW
    PS: As Pete and other posters have said already: Set the white point of your monitor to 6500 - that is the accepted standard. Don't choose sRGB to make your photos look good. Rather work with a calibrated monitor and then edit your photos in LR to your liking. You seem to think that your photos are a given and you have to adjust your monitor to make them look good - that's not how it's done.

  • Suggestion for outdoors high contrast colors that will be used by farmers in their fields.

    I am intending to use 'Mexican Blanket' as palette for my farmers app.

  • I have a first generation iPad and the screen went completely green on me and locked up.  I was able to unlock it, but now there's a green haze all over the screen.  Anyone know what the issue could be and how I can get it fixed?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

  • I just got a refurbished iPod 5th generation 32gb.  This morning I went to turn it on and it didn't do anything and kept the black screen.  I tryed to turn it on but it didn't do anything.  Help?

    I just got a refurbished iPod 5th generation 32gb.  This morning I went to turn it on and it didn't do anything and kept the black screen.  I tryed to turn it on but it didn't do anything.  The day before it had looked weird, as in I was downloading an app and it powered down, the when I tryed to turn it back on it got red and green lines on it.  Should I send my ipod in to Apple so they can fix it or can I do this myself?

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. Or send it to Apple

  • Can I share color profiles and distiller settings with all user accounts on my imac?

    Everyone in our studio is on OSX 10.8.3 with adobe cs6 (not creativecliud version).
    I have installed color settings and distiller settings on to the macs under the employees user profile.
    All the machines also have a general user profile which anyone can use (setup mainly for use by freelancers).
    Is there a space on the macs where i can install the color profiles and distiller settings so that all user accounts have them set up?
    At the moment i am having to go into each user account on each machine and do it manually.
    Also once i have installed distiller settings in one user account I can't install them on subsequent users.
    I have tried placing the files in the
    library/applicationsupport/adobe/color/
    library/applicationsupport/adobe/adobepdf/settings
    and
    user/library/applicationsupport/adobe/color/
    user/library/applicationsupport/adobe/adobepdf/settings
    any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,Russell

    In that case, assuming your wife's XP User Account can access the D: drive as well, you don't have to bother with the To share your music with other accounts on the computer section of that article. That's already taken care of.
    Just log into her account and head directly to the To listen to another account's music files section and follow those instructions.
    If I had to emphasize one step to keep from stuffing it up, it would be:
    4. Deselect the "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library file" option.
    ("Deselect" being a fancy way of saying "uncheck")

    Your problem might be a easy fix.
    If the firmware "forgets" what partition it's supposed to boot from, it won't load OS X, so if OS X doesn't load then it can't tell the fans to slow down, the default is "turbo mode".
    So all you might have to do is hold the option/alt key down while booting the computer with a charged up battery on power, you will then see a row of icons and you pick OS X to boot from.
    Once in you head to System Preferences and set the Startup Disk, that will tell the firmware what to boot from again.
    Try it and see if it works.
    You can do more if your problem is not fixed.

    Yes, if it was purchased new you have a 1 year warranty, despite who you bought it from (unless it's stolen goods)
    However you should purchase AppleCare while your in the store for another 2 more years of coverage also a backup drive for TimeMachine to protect your data.

  • I have a red vertical line on the right side of my screen and it will not go away tried restarting my computer and that didn't help at all, please help me with this problem it is kind of annoying

    I have a red vertical line on the right side of my screen and it will not go away tried restarting my computer and that didn't help at all, please help me with this problem it is kind of annoying

    If it's a thin 1 pixel wide vertical line it's highly likely it could be caused by a defective LCD.
    One quick basic way to check is to note the position of the line. Then go to System Preferences, Displays, and lower the resolution. If ther line moves it's on the video and the logic board or video card if fitted is likely to be defective. If the line stays in the same position it's likely to be an LCD fault. Either way to have it repaired you'll need to visit an Apple store or AASP.
    The worst offender for this problem is the Late 2006 17" iMac. FOC replacement of the LCD used to be covered by a quality program, but it's now ended.

  • Cookies do not get deleted / re-appear within seconds if I delete them manually and yes I've checked every single support page about this and it didn't help

    – I have the most recent version of Firefox.
    – I have my settings in Preferences -> Privacy on "Keep third party cookies until I close Firefox".
    – I've checked "Clear history when Firefox closes" and have ticked every single box under settings (except saved passwords).
    – But still, Cookies do not get deleted when I close Firefox – there are hundreds of cookies every time I open it.
    – If I go to Tools -> Clear recent history, choose "everything" and tick every single box, history etc. get deleted but the cookies remain.
    – If I go to Preferences -> Privacy and click "Show Cookies" and then click "Remove all cookies" twice, the cookies disappear, but they're back just seconds later.
    – I've even tried going to Preferences, clicking on Exceptions and manually adding some of the websites that showed up under "show cookies" and blocking them and then deleting the cookies, but still they re-appeared within seconds, and the exceptions were blank again.
    – I've checked all your support pages about this topic.
    – I've seen this https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/740598?esab=a&as=aaq and tried it and it didn't help.

    Please help me. I used to be a big fan of Firefox but this is getting really scary.

    You can't remove opt-cookies that are added by an extension unless you disable or uninstall that extension, so you can disable the do not track extension as a test to see if that allows to remove the cookies.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    If clearing cookies doesn't work then it is possible that the <i>cookies.sqlite</i> file that stores the cookies is corrupted.
    Rename (or delete) <b>cookies.sqlite</b> (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookie files like <b>cookies.sqlite-journal</b> in the Firefox Profile Folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.
