Native white point for Mac on Dual 23" Displays

I just tried yet again to calibrate my Dual 23" displays and get rid of a yellow cast that showed up from calibration ****.
The monitors are pretty close in color and I am using the Eye One Match Display calibrator. This unit is a couple years old (When I check it tells me I am using the latest version- 3.62) but I believe it to be functioning OK.
The read out I get as a summery of the calibration process is : Target>N.W.P versus Current>2300K.
So in order to figure out if I am close , I am asking what should be the actual value in color temperature of "Native White Point" on this hardware (G5,x800xt, 23"Cinema Display)

You could get a 400 to 800 FireWire adapter
<http://www.sonnettech.com/product/fw_adapter.html>
and use the FireWire 800 port, or just leave it unplugged if you don't need the FireWire ports on both monitors.

Native Application installer for mac

Hi all,
I am using Flash Builder 4.5 and adobe air 2.7
I want to bundle Adobe Air Installer along with my application(.app file ) for mac. I followed the instructions mentioned in the link
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/redist/WS485a42d56cd19641-70d979a8124ef20a34b-8000.html#WS 485a42d56cd19641-70d979a8124ef20a34b-7ffc
But with the .app file, I am getting the message
"The application could not be installed because the installer file is damaged. Try obtaining a new installer file from the application author."
then i checked with .air file and it works fine.
Is there any limitation with .app files? If yes, then what we should do to bundle the .app with adobe air installer.
Any suggestion in this regard would be great.
Regards
Sumeet Kumar

Hi Sumeet,
Unfortunately we don't have support for sidecar installs with native installers at this time. I've seen this come up before but when I searched the ideas.adobe.com site I couldn't find a specific feature request. We are aware that there is interest in this feature, but I'd like to encourage you to add a post to the ideas.adobe.com page or over at bugbase.adobe.com and let others know so we can vote on it.
Thanks,

Using white point for White Balance (instead of gray point)

Dear All,
I am looking to buy Aperture 2.0, but one point annoys me a bit : it seems that we can only use gray point to make a White Balance. I use to use only white points in Photoshop, as my photos of products rarely include gray colors. I take the photos on white background only, and when doing WB with a white point, my product gets nice colors, and more important, appears to "float" on a totally white background.
Also, I do not want to bother with a gray card, as by experience it didn't prove to be as effective.
My question is : is there any means or plug-in to use white point to make a white balance ?
Thanks a lot !

Arn,
Hate to break it to you but.... It doesn't matter if you use white or grey as long as the actual color is neutral (no tendency towards blue etc.) what does matter regarding white is to make sure that there is enough color information in all the color channels to make an accurate assessment of the color of the light in the scene.
As there are a million ways to do something in PS I don;t know exactly what you are doing but it sure sounds like you are actually doing a couple of things to the image in one step. In Aperture if I assume you are using the white balance control brick to manipulate white balance that is the only thing that is being changed - nothing else (like the contrast).

ITunes for Mac, help may not display subjects.

Most of the time help gives a message, The requested subject cannot be displayed. You must be connected to the internet. Everything else gets the internet okay.
Sometimes restarting iTunes makes it work, often not.
Apple care has no answer for this other than "trash iTunes and install a new copy". Changes nothing.
Mac restart may get it working, or not.
I found that typing a word in the help search box and hitting enter will, most of the time but not always, cause help to display a bar titled Connect to the internet. Click that and subjects will display as they should. So far that has worked every time.
Another thing, when bringing up help from the menu bar, the help window shows a spinner titled "loading help content", or something like that. When it does that, subjects will display. When it doesn't work that "loading" and spinner doesn't show up.
I have two Macs both of which behave the same. iTunes for Windows has not had this problem for me.
Anyone know of a better fix or work around?

Chris CA,
You say:
Your problem is an OS issue (Help) not an iTunes issue.
Post over here ->https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.6_snow_leopard
This solved my question
This helped me
However: All other app help work fine, only having problems with iTunes help.
I spent some time testing them.

White point selection when profiling monitor

When profiling monitor, many sources say that begin with the native white point of monitor and then compare different white points in order to find best working white point selection for your ambient conditions.
There is an option in i1Display Pro and you can specify the target white point as the CCT of ambient lighting conditions.
I decided to try this one ... and I calibrated my monitor exactly what the instructions said, but at the end I got completely unrelated achieved CCT as seen in the following image.
I would like to learn the reason for such a unrelated finish.
My second question: From the point of view of color theory, what do you think about specifying the target white point as the CCT of ambient lighting?
And, my last question: I've got contrast ratios approximately 1:700 from my previous measurements, but now it said that it is 1:425 as seen in the image ... what do you think about such a great difference from a measurement to a measurement?
Thanks a lot ...

Establishing White Point and Black Point

Hi,
How do I Establishing a White Point and a Black Point in Lightroom 1.4.1 and especially in Lightroom 2 Bata?
Thank You,
Hersul

The last post by OP might have closed this thread, but given the relative lack of activity on this and LR2 forums (summertime?) - I'll go a little deeper.
i White point
- If your white balance is right from the start, you just use the Exposure slider to set the white point. If not, first set the white balance - that effectively sets a preliminary white point for each channel separately, or, to be more precise, matches the right side of the histogram for each channel - then set the Exposure. So, with the white point you have complete control over the histogram, as well as over each channel.
i Black point
- here the situation is different. You can move the left side of the main (composite?) histogram using the Blacks slider, but there's no means for moving channels separately. In theory, with digital capture, there probably should not be need for this, blacks should be always black, so that's OK, but...
I once had a batch of pics scanned from film. The film was poorly developed so it has some strong brown-magenta cast in the shadows. In Photoshop it was a piece of cake to set the black point by dragging the left ends of each channel to the left edge of the histogram (heck, even Auto Level did a wonderful job). In Lightroom, there's just no way you can correct this, because you can't control the channels separately.

CS4 Camera RAW White Point

Setting White Point in Camera RAW 5.7 CS4
I am trying to make pictures out of scanned old slides/negatives which often have colour casts.
Some pictures do not have a suitable white spot for setting the point.
I often find that the "As Shot" or any of the default settings do not look right.
Please what is the best way to set the white point for these ?

Photoshop, or even Elements, would have more options than Lightroom for fixing colors or a color-cast in images that have not been added by the scanner, but is already in the images, themselves, a color cast usually caused by different rates of deterioration of the various pigments in the photo paper or film.
Trying the different Options in the Photoshop Levels command can be helpful.
You can tweak the RGB channels differently in Photoshop Curves.
Elements has a Remove Color Cast command that works for simple cases and is similar to the Auto WB in LR or ACR.
Sometimes you need to duplicate one of the color channels and substitute it for one of the other color channels. For example if the red is entirely faded, then duplicate the blue channel and paste it into the red channel and see how things look, or perhaps use the green channel, instead, depending on the mix of colors in the original. There are techniques for adjusting skintones at the expense of other colors in the image.
There are tutorials for fixing underwater images that would be somewhat applicable to photos heavily faded by prolonged exposure to sunlight or indoor UV sources.
Tweaking the HSL sliders in LR or ACR can be helpful if the image is mostly fixed by prior adjustments.

Embedding YouTube video into PowerPoint for Mac

How can one embed a YouTube video into PowerPoint for Mac 2010? The video tutorials do not show the same Power Point (for Mac) that I'm using. Even if I can just save (and retrieve) the file I just might be able to convert it to an MP4 for YouTube. I've tried keepvid and it wants a valid file format. The default is a text which doesn't work. I've spent about 8 hours over the past 2 days trying to figure it out. HELP!!!!!!

An advice for an used Power Mac G5 dual core 2.3

Hello.
I used a Power Mac G5 PCI-X (sett. 2003) 2.0 GHz, working with Photoshop. It worked great for yeras, but now, due to its typical logic board lack, it got broken and is unable to boot anymore (three times flashing power light).
Now, I use software for PowerPC CPUs, so I can't get new computers, because I should replace all the software too!
I'm going to buy an used Power Mac G5 dual core 2.3 GHz:
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powermacg5/stats/powermac_g5_dual2.3.html
This is the configuration:
Ram: 5.5 GB
HD: 250 GB
SVGA: GeForce 6600 - 256 MB.
About 650 dollars.
According to you, is this a good product? do you know any issue or manufacturing fault?
Would you buy it if you were me?
Thank you!

I tried heating it (not with the hair dryer), after about 1 hour it booted and worked very well, as in past. But when I powered it off, it started again with the same problem: unable to boot and three times flashing light.
I need a working system.
Furthermore, I removed the hard disk (sata 160 GB), and installed it in a Mac Pro: but it recognized only the second partition (data). So I run the Disk Utility and gave immediately an error (wrote in red and big), writing that the hard disk had a serious physical problem, and that if the computer was able to see the disk, I had to make immediately a backup.
But the three-times flashing light error of the G5 was not given due to the hard disk, because I tried several times to boot it from the OSX DVD, also removing the hard disk, and it always gave the same problem.

I have a Apple Power Mac G5 Dual 2.3 GHz/6GB RAM/500GB HDD/Superdrive PowerPC Desktop and just bought an Airport Extreme card for it. The card is recognized but will not see the in-house network. This is a pre-intel computer. Do I need an antennae?
