Previews in Bridge get pixelated and discolored after adjustments?

Hello, I'm using Bridge 5.0.1.23 x64 via Photoshop CS6. I'm processing some low-light nighttime photos that require me to boost the "shadows" slider most of the way to the right to get the look I need. After doing this, I've noticed that the previews in Bridge look pixelated and purple in all of the shadow areas.
Is there a way to solve this?
Screen shot attached. It makes the previews nearly worthless.

I don't see that option. Here's what the "Thumbnail" tab of my options looks like:
The thumbnails do show the same weird color effects, but I'm far more concerned with the previews than the thumbnails.
Other settings that seem like they might be relevant:
"Keep 100% Previews In Cache" is checked (under Cache tab)
"Generate Monitor-Size Previews" is checked (under Advanced)
"Preserve Embedded Color Profile" is checked (under Output)
Thanks for troubleshooting with me . . .

Phone kept getting hotter and hotter after update - now won't turn on

Well, seems that my phone crapped out. The mandatory system update that seemed to take forever to load and then install. Afterward, the battery would get the life sucked out of it in minutes while getting hotter and hotter to the touch. Now it won't even turn on. Grrrrrrrrrrr
Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions on fix?

@gaieegail,
Believe me when I say I feel your pain! I have the same phone and had the same issues after the update. But don't worry because I'm here to help!
What worked for me was performing a hard reset http://bit.ly/nExWmP after the update. I know it can be inconvenient but necessary after such a big update like the ICS.
I noitced a big difference after the hard reset and I'm confident you will too. Just make sure you back up your phone before the hard reset so you don't lose anything you need.
Keep me posted if you need further assistance.

Any strategies to get up and running after Apple wiped out HD

Luckily I backed up my drive with Restrospect before my computer died and Apple replaced the HD and reinstalled 10.4. Now I have a brand new OS but want to get my things back the way they were.
Anyone have any strategies to minimize the downtime? Replace my entire "home" directory with the old one? Replace my Applications folder? How would I get my mail files back but in the new Mail client? I don't want to disrupt too much of what's on there already, just get back my old stuff.
I think Retrospect can wipe your drive and bring it back to the way it was, but I want to take advantage of this clean install. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

I think, first off, the Retrospects archives are a poor way to backup.. Make bootable clones from freeware Carbon Copy Cloner, and you can actually boot from the backup, and then clone back.
I am not certain how to specifically get back what you want from the Retrospect archive, Is it selected items? Is it the entire drive? You may want to install Retrospect on another machine, hook your up in Target Mode, and then either erase yours, and put back the Retrospect items (if it's the entire drive), or put back the selected items from the archive.

Botton video on menu gets pixelated and pulses when burt DVD is played back

Created a menu with buttons that contain video from the same asset it plays. They were HD mpegs that were converted to SD for the project. When viewed in simulator, everything looks fabulous. However, when I burn the disc and play it back on a laptop, the video in the button looks really compressed and has a weird pulse. Note-The target track plays fine. Can anyone help?

Why does this browser get worse and worse after every update?

ever since updating it has froze,adobe crashes,and unresponsive script. it froze up for 25 minutes awhile ago. i let it stay frozen just to see how long it would stay frozen. what is up with this browser?

Try to disable protected mode in the Flash player.

For the freezes try this:

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Screen gets blurry and then message

HI.
I was recently give a imac. It is a G4 - 1.8Ghz. It starts up fine and works for a little bit and then all of sudden the screen starts to get pixelated and everything hangs and then a message pops up and says that I must restart the computer. I read some stuff about it being a panic kernel but no mention the screen going wonky when that happens. I reset the pram, reset the firmware, and did a file system check on start up. Nothing seems to work. I even tried to do a disk repair but when it starts - it goes crazy again and the message comes up.
Is this fixable? Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks in advance.

Here is an excellent article on resolving kernel panics:

The iMac G4s were never faster than 1.25Ghz. Is it possible you have a G5 iMac like this:

The most informative way to confirm a Mac model is to do "About this Mac..." from the Apple menu and, in the resulting window, click the button labeled, "More info...."
System Profiler opens to a "Hardware Overview" window whose first few lines absolutely identify your model.

No truer words were ever said. None of the ones I created years ago stayed working for long. It would be a nice feature request.

When i open my computer I get the white screen with apple symbol and there are vertical lines all over the screen with green pixels and after a few minutes the screen gets grey and I get message to restart my computer what happens

3 years ago I bought an IMac Desktop that I am using for a lot of things but the most important for dvd montage in Imovies and Idvd.
Now today when I opened my computer I get as usual the white screen with the Apple symbol but there were all over the screen vertical lines with green pixels and after a while the screen gets grey and I get message to restart my computer using the power button or the restart button and when I do so each time the same is happening somebody can tell me what is happening and what caused this. This computer is my work and now I have no income anymore.
On the Apple support site they are asking to enter the serial number and when I do so I get message it is wrong but it is the only one I have and I buy this computer in Cairo Egypt. I am living in Hurghada in Egypt for the moment. When I call the technical support of the shop where I buy it they are telling me that it is the hard disk or ram and that I probably lost everything on it and they are asking a big amount to repair.
Can somebody advise me on this matter. Thanks in advance

You can find the serial number either in About this Mc in the Menu bar under the , or it should be on a sticker under the foot of the machine.
If you have the install discs, try booting from them, holding down the c key and then using Disk Utility to check the drive.
You can also boot into Safe mode
To start up into Safe Mode (to "Safe Boot"), do this:
   1. Be sure the computer is shut down.
   2. Press the power button.
   3. Immediately after you hear the startup tone, press and hold the Shift key.
      Tip: The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone but not before.
   4. Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple and progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
During the startup in Mac OS X 10.2 through 10.3.9, you will see "Safe Boot" on the Mac OS X startup screen.
During the startup in Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you will see "Safe Boot" on the login window, which appears even if you normally log in automatically.
Please post back with results,
To leave Safe Mode in any version of Mac OS X, restart the computer normally, without holding any keys during startup.

Black magic and Adobe After effect cs6 Ram Preview not real time

Hello,
I'm on a MAC PRO with the OS 10.6.8 and 8Go Ram, the problem is when i turn on my preview video on the Blackmagic the video monitor is not in real time and the after effect is so slow. When i put it off (computer monitor only) it's ok but i havn't my video monitor of course....and i need it. Is there some tricks for having my black magic (1080 i 50) ON and a RAM Preview in real time ??? ! My drivers Black magic is the 9.5.3 it's the highest driver for MAC OS 10.6.8 + ADOBE CS6+ FCP7. Thanks for the read. ( i tried update adobe, change qt library, change aspect ratio, pixel, preview ram settings, change drivers black magic and other but nothing work )

What is the color bit depth of your project? (8, 16 or 32?) Have you changed that recently, or have you changed the frame rate or frame size of your comp?
Performance with video preview to an external monitor is almost always related to the pure bandwidth requirements of the frames you're sending to it. If the frames require more memory, it may be slower. Frame size, frame rate, and color bit depth all affect the memory requirements of the frames.
If none of those parameters has changed, troubleshoot the general performance of your machine. If there are other processes (look in Activity Monitor) that are using significant processor and/or memory resources, they may be causing a bottleneck for the frames getting out.

The screen on my MacBook has been flickering and shaking up and down. It starts flickering, shaking, gets 'pixelated,' then eventually begins to fade to white and freezes. Restarting sometimes helps, but only temporarily. Why is this? How can I fix it?

The screen on my MacBook has just started flickering and shaking up and down while I am using it. The screen starts flickering, shaking, gets pixelated, begins to freeze, and eventually fades to white. Why is it doing this? How can I fix it?
It is a newer MacBook, just over 1 year. It is well cared for, hasn't been dropped, etc. I don't want to pay for expensive repairs for such a new computer, and I certainly can't afford a new one!
I've tried updating my system like the Support page suggested, but no improvement. The problem started just the other day, and is progressively getting worse.
.... as I typed this, it did it again. Only, this time it did not flicker and shake, but got 'pixelated' (pixels came up checkered-like darkened and lightened). It did this for about 2 minutes and then stopped after I did not touch the computer.... Now it is flickering... HELP!

it means that it is not a hardware issue. Other then that, Im not too sure. Sorry I can't help you any further, but Im sure others members of this forum will read your question and be able to help you. Good luck

Problems getting previews in Bridge to reflect changes made in Camera Raw

I have updated both my photoshop and camera raw to the most recent. I have purged cache and still when I make changes to an image in camera raw it is not reflected in the previews in Bridge. Anyone else having this issue? or perhaps know how to fix it?

That was it! I had to change workspaces to get the bridge preview setting buttons to come up but once I found it this was the issue. Thanks so much!

No image preview in Bridge and unable to write meta data files

I recently converted my CR2 files to DNG files using the DNG converter. For the most part it worked. However, for some files, something went wrong. When I looked at a folder of newly converted dng files using Bridge, I noticed that some files didn't have a preview. These same files won't allow meta data to be written either. Are these files corrupt? What is wrong and how do I fix it? I tried to open these files in CR and they do open. Wierd thing is that if I open the file in CR, then click save file as dng, it will then show a preview in Bridge.

Yes. The original RAW file (CR2) allows me to write metadata. In fact, if I write the metadata to the CR2 file first, then convert to DNG, all the metadata is there - even for the files that at first do not have a preview in Bridge.
But the reason I'm converting to DNG is because I want my original archive files to be in a non-propriatory format.
Even though I can get around the current issues of no preview and writing metadata, my main concern is whether or not there is a problem with the conversion. I don't want to find out later that the file is corrupt. I'm worried that the issues with previewing and writing metadata are symptoms of some bigger problem.
Any ideas?

My Imovie looks great on mac but it is discolored and grainy after I export to dvd.

My Imovie looks great on mac but it is discolored and grainy after I export to dvd. I need help, it looks awful when projected even playing from my mac.

It's my understanding based on what another long time contributor stated that Share to iDVD converts direct to a MPEG-2 format and drops it directly into the iDVD Project for you. Share to Media Browser saves it to .MP4 (actually .m4v which is what apple uses for iTunes video,etc) then that gets converted by iDVD into MPEG-2. So something about the export direct to MPEG-2 when you choose Share to iDVD is introducing the problem. That's why Share to Media Browser seems to get around that limitation, it uses a different encoding path altogether.

I am having problems with video and high content webpages freezing. I am also getting pixel lines across my webpages. Maybe two or three lines. I was running os 10.4 but I just up graded to 10.6 the other day. I have 2GB of RAM.

Exactlly which model iMac do you have?
see > How to identify iMac models
Unfortunately that is not all that uncommon for the Early Intel iMac's given there age and the fact that the air intakes are probably choked with dust. Then add the extra heat caused by running a more intense OS X which is causing it to run a little warmer than normal and putting extra stress on the graphic and display components.
My 6½ year old 17" Early 2006 Core Duo w/2GB of RAM is also running 10.6.8 and is also starting to get a single line that (knock on wood) goes away after a few minutes, while many others started getting permanent ones after 2 or 3 years. One thing that I think has helped, is that about every 3 or 4 months I shutdown and vigorously vacuum out the bottom grill work and small vent under the stand to keep it running cool.
On that note: unfortunately I can only suggest that you clean your intake vents and hope that no permanent or irreversible damage has been done.
