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?

Secondary monitor displays with colorshift

secondary monitor displays with colorshift in LR4.1rc2. this is on windows 7/64.
Both my monitors i have are calibrated with spyder3, one is hardwarecalibrated eizo CG243, the other a HP2475 calibrated with spyder4 elite software.
Colorshift shows same characteristics when i switch LR app window with secondary window.
IT looks as if sRGB profile is applied to the secondary preview, because of the strong/overly saturated colors.
It seems to me a softwarebug, which makes secondary display inusable.
How is color management supposed to work in LR4?

It works fine with me (LR4.1 RC2, but previously used RC1, LR4.0, LR3.6... all worked the same).
I have a wide-gamut HP LP2475w (approx Adobe RGB gamut) and a Samsung193P (approx sRGB). Both calibrated/profiled with Color Munki Display, but I've previously used Eye One and Spyder units. After calibration/profiling, LR main and secondary display look the same in both Loupe and Develop view, and no matter which is LR's primary display. (Obviously, colours outside sRGB gamut don't look the same!)
I've just checked, and it still seems to be the case on my set up (W7 64-bit).
I can't think what the problem might be. I guess you've checked in Control Panel / Color Management that the correct profiles are assigned to each monitor. And I guess that you've got a video card with dual LUTs that allows separate calibration (mind you, I've never come across any cards that don't have separate LUTs, but apparently there are some).
PS - Web view might be different, as I think LR uses IE for rendering in web view only, and IE doesn't colour-manage properly.

Monitor gets with weird color

Hi,
It just happened, I was working with Final Cut, I left the laptop while it was exporting a file to convert into a QT . Later I went to the computer and the monitor had a weird color something like decolored (instead of gray it was violet).
Does anybody has an idea about it?

Could be video chipset issues due to overheating, especially since it went away after a short rest. When working with a CPU-intensive program like FCP, you should make sure the case bottom and the exhaust vent under the hinge on the back edge are unobstructed. They are critical to good cooling. If you use the PB with an external monitor with the lid closed, that also runs up temps. You may wish to consider a laptop cooler to help move air across the case bottom.
A Dashboard widget like this:

will let you monitor some temps on your PowerBook.

Can someone please help a new owner of a Pixma Pro-100 with a color cast problem?

Despite setting it up correctly with the drivers supplied on the CD for my Windows 7 64-bit laptop, I'm getting a slight pink color cast on both Canon's Fine Art Museum Etching and Glossy Plus II papers. It is neither a monitor calibration nor a software processing (white balance) issue, since I printed exactly the same file on my old Pixma IP4840 without any problem whatsoever. Unfortunately the IP4840 cannot handle the heavier grade media, nor print exhibition grade quality.
I have tried adjusting the C, M, Y values according to the print pattern as recommended, without any significant improvement. I have used both the Pro and ICC profiles with similar lack of success.
In desperation I downloaded the 32-bit driver to try on my Windows 8 desktop, also to no avail.
I'm sincerely hoping there's a simple solution to what has thus far been a disappointing debut to the Pro series.
Kindest regards,
Richard

no, I didn't ask to burn a picture....this is why I am confused to how the picture got on there.
I understand what you are saying regarding the multi-session thing (how do I avoid this if my other cds with photos on them have this, and I don't know they do?)
but what I do know is that cd had photos on it (it definately wasn't full, and maybe that is why I haven't had a problem with others...they have all been full) and no one else uses my Mac, so I know no one else put the picture on that cd. I may have inadvertantly burned the picture, but if I did, I don't know what I did to make it burn the picture onto the cd.....
The only thing that happened was I opened iphoto so I could save some of the pictures that were already on the disc, but when I went to look for the pictures on the cd, the only thing that was on it, was an iphoto picture....which I didn't ask to be put there.....
I have previously burned pictures onto CD using my Mac with no problem, and I've pulled pictures off CD that were burned using a PC. So I guess I need to know how to determine if the cds have this multi-session thing going on?

IPad 1 display with different color line

My iPad display shows with different colors here & there. Is that defect? Some web page is ok. But most of time you can see that.

Mountpa-
Your iPad may be defective, but is probably out of warranty. An Apple Store may exchange it for a flat rate. Look for an iPad repair center for a less expensive repair. You can find an Apple Authorized Repair Center at <Apple Authorized Repair Centers>, but non-Apple repair centers may be less expensive still.
First check to see if your color happens to be part of your iPad's wallpaper. Go to Settings-Brightness & Wallpaper to see how it is currently set.
One thing you can try is to reset (reboot) your iPad. Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow. The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes. Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

Trouble arranging monitor display with 2 monitors and a projector

I just installed Yosemite (it's pretty awesome) and I am having a little trouble with screen arrangement. I think it has something to do with each display now having it's own menu bar. But what do I know?
I have an iMac, a second monitor and a LCD projector. I was sort of navigating out the top of second monitor to get to projection screen. And the way back to screen one was tricky. I was running the dvd player and it lost picture and I had to get to my iMac and fiddle around and then move dvd app back to projection window again. I'm sure there is a better way to handle this.
My lcd projector looks way better now. Very happy about that.

17" Studio Monitor Display with single, vertical color line

My 17" Studio Monitor just recently developed a single, vertical color line in the display. No matter what I am viewing the color line is there. Re-boot doesn't remove it. Neither does un-plugging the computer.
Anyone know the cause and/or remedy?
Thanks for any help!

There is an adapter called a DVIator that you will need ..or something similar. It will turn turn the ADC connection into a DVI connection ..then you would need something to turn regular DVI into the Mini DVI connection to fit into the iMac.
Personally, I don't think it would be worth the cost ..the DVIator alone is like $100. I'd just buy a new screen for that price. Preferably one that was a little closer to the same brightness of the 24" iMac's screen. I had my old Studio display next to my new 24" iMac and it looked so old and dingy I wouldn't be able to stand the difference using it as a second monitor.

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.

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.

How do I synchronize display with printed colors using the Calibration Syst

The windows headed "Determine your display's native response..." seem confusing to me in the use of "match" and "neutral" matching of the backgrounds using the apple shape and adjacent sliders.
I have accumulated several settings and may have tampered with the original one which I would like to go back to.
The printer is a Canon iP6000 and produces great pictures off my Win XP machine whose native calibration I never had to change. Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the feedback. Some people (tech writers, in this instance) think that being clear and concise, even if you have to use the same word more than oncd, isn't creative, modern, or cool enough. They've fallen for looking good and forgot about being good. Good computing.

Pink color cast on macbook pro 15" with retina display

Hi,
I just got my very first apple computer a few weeks ago, but I had a annoying pink color cast of the display.
I changed my first deivce but even the 2nd had the same issue..
I noticed, that even the Apple logo shines in a pink cast, so it seems to be an issue of the display light itself.
Trying to calibrate the display with a spyder did not work, i got a very strange green color cast what seems to be clear, if the main problem is not the display itself,
but the display light.
I went to the Apple Sore in Hamburg and I found out, that all new macbook pros 15" with retina display had the same issue, but not older macbooks or some macbook pro 15" with retina display from clients.
As a photographer, I find this pink cast very annoying and I gave back my 2nd macbook pro 15" with retina display..
Is there a way, to get a macbook pro 15" with retina display without a pink cast, where the Apple logo shines in pure white instead of a pink color cast?
I don´t want a pink apple logo, nor a display with a pink cast..

WOW 0_o
Go back and get another one.. They will certainly try and make your day better by offering free items, try to get Apple Care free.

Premiere Pro CS2 - Audio track prevents sequence play in program monitor

My sequence consists of 1 Video Track, and 2 Audio Tracks. The "Video 1" and "Audio 1" tracks in the sequence consists of subclips taken from a master clip avi in the Project Panel captured from my video camera, and "Audio 2" in the sequence are MP3's that have been imported into the Project Panel. The sequence plays fine and I'm able to make edits as long as the "Audio 1" track of the captured avi is disabled, and with "Audio 2" enabled. But when the "Audio 1" track is enabled, the sequence will not play in the program monitor, and the entire program freezes up until I disable the "Audio 1" track, or otherwise the program just crashes.
I've Googled my brains out today and yesterday, and I've reviewed all the program settings to the best of my knowledge. I'm trying to produce a video that allows me to mix between the "Audio 1" track and the "Audio 2" track, but can't figure out why the "Audio 1" track prevents the sequence from playing in the Program Monitor.
My soundcard is Creative SB Audigy 2, on Win XP. Can someone please help me understand what I'm overlooking?

Thanks Hunt, this was some solid information, especially the link. I believe I've figured out the problem though... and it was ME!
I didn't want to do it, but sometimes when you have a stubborn problem, it's best to just start all over from the beginning. It turns out that what I thought was a developing masterpiece, was in reality only a HOT MESS, lol.
The problem seemed to be in the way I created the subclips, in regards to whether the video and/or audio was selected, with respect to the in & out points, and with how those subclips were placed into the Timeline. The problem was definitely in those subclips (...it's like the Timeline didn't know what to do with them). Once I went back, checked the source avi and master clips to verify they were intact, and being more careful in how I added the new clips into the Timeline, the audio from the imported video AND from the MP3's are now playing just fine in harmony, and I'm able to edit the sequence in the Program Monitor and with the Audio Mixer (...just as I suspected I was supposed to be able to do).
Funny how when you think there's a major problem, it just turns out that the program was only doing what you were telling it to do, lol. Thanks so much for stepping up and helping out Hunt. It's so frustrating sitting by the computer, hoping someone will come to the rescue. Your response was exactly the gentle guidance I needed. Much appreciated!

Overlays in master Program Monitor disappear

Has anyone encountered with the new version of Premiere Pro (2014) that the Overlays showing source TC in the program monitor will disappear and cannot be turned on again? I have several projects using the same template and some will show the overlays but others not. Please, don't tell me to go to the settings menu and make sure the overlays check mark is there; been there done that a dozen times along with changing the setting for the overlays, restarting the app, and restarting the brand new Mac Pro. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

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.

Big Color Shift between exported H264 mp4 and Program Monitor

I get a big Color Shift between exported H264 mp4 on Vimeo/Youtube and Quicktime X and Program Monitor.
There are quite a few posts on Quicktime gamma issues, but there seem to be no solutions and the other editors I know don't seem to have this problem.
I know there will be a bit of a shift but this is MASSIVE. At the moment I add a whole extra adjustment layer to all my clips to get it approximately right, but ofcourse this does not solve the issue nor does it give proper results.
Please do not reply with the "You need a real reference monitor via SDI etc etc ..."
By my logic on the same screen the program monitor should resemble what is going to be the final result in a relevant player like Quicktime X which all normal apple consumers use to watch their films. I know VLC and Mpeg streamclip gives different results, but mostly when playing Quicktime/h264 files Quicktime will play it thus average users ( the people I'd like to downwload/buy my films )will watch it in Quicktime.
Furthermore, Quicktime X's gamma/color looks very similar to the image I get on Youtube or Vimeo - which is where all my current work is going. I'm not outputting to boradcast or DVD etc.
Strangely enough the MPEG 2 stuff I've done for DVD matches the Youtube output with the Program monitor.
What am I doing wrong?
I have a Dell 2711 wide Gamut Display which is calibrated with an SPyder 3 Elite using its full colour gamut ( close to 90% of Adobe RGB - thus bigger than sRGB or Rec709) Could Premiere be ignoring the calibration in the Program monitor and making the image values 16-235 and then Quicktime uses all values 0-255? If so, how can I fix this?
Any help will be much appreciated!

I know this has been a while so hopefully you found some help by now, but maybe this will help anyone stumbling across this.
What people seem to be missing in what you are asking is... this is the same file, on the same monitor, but with a different appearance in different software. It is not a question of whether the overall monitoring is GOOD, and it is not a matter of hardware settings (as that would most likely propogate across all software) it is that it is not CONSISTENT side by side on the very same monitor.
I had very similar issues that really seemed to get worse when we got new monitors, which is what lead me to chime in here. The monitors were also wide gamut displays.
The problem is likely this...
1. The difference being shown are the difference between software that properly color manages (i.e. Premier or After Effects) and software that does not (i.e. Quicktime or some web browsers)
2. The reason it is so severe is that the wide gamut monitors are able to show many more colors and thus the difference between the managed and unmanaged software is much more exagerrated than on regular gamut monitors.
I found this great link that helped calm my nerves and helped me get handle on much of what is going on.
http://www.artstorm.net/journal/2009/07/color-management-wide-gamut-dell-2408/
Now that is not to say that the 0-255/16-235 issue is not also involved here. It is definitely possible that a specific codec or compressor is part of the problem, but it sounds like it starts with the color management issue first.
I hope this helps.
