Problem with RED color in Aperture, iPhoto but NOT Preview

I'm having a weird display problem in aperture and iPhoto, as well as in the small thumbnail preview in the Get Info window in the Finder: photos with large areas of red appear over saturated and blotchy, while the same image will be displayed fine in Preview, Mail, Safari etc.
I have checked with a number of people using OSX on G4/G5 and Intel machines and running 10.4.9 and they ALL have the same problem.
An example of the problem can be found in this picture: http://oroux.com/trucs/red_bug.png
Left is the image in Preview, middle in Finder's Get Info window and right in iPhoto...
I've checked the profiles in ColorSync Utility and there is no problem on that side.
2.4GHz core2duo MacBookPro   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

I don't see how it could be a profile problem, since other people (see post above) have the same problem with their pictures. Also, I did some shots over the week-end, including a girl in a bright red dress and the dress shows the same oversaturated red blotches. The image was taken in RAW with my Nikon D80, I didn't do any changes in Aperture, and I reset the colorsync profile of the MacBookPro and DELL 24" screens to their factory defaults.
And when I display the fullscreen image in Aperture, I can see for a split second the CORRECT image, then it does some "color magic" and the details goes down the drain.
Plus, if you look at this image (http://oroux.com/trucs/red/testrouge/10-4-9qt7-1-6/comparaison.png, it's big, 2MB) showing screen captures of a detail of a photo in six different OSX apps, you'll see that not two display it in the same way, which is a real problem.

  • Problem with opening/port forwarding some ports but not others

    I read the Faq and the first few pages of the forums but couldnt find anything.
    I am using the Port Forwarding (WRT54G, Firmware 4.20.7) to my network camera to try to open up ports 80, 554, 5556 and 5558.
    Using the network toolbox at Blackcode.com I then check the ports to see if they are open.
    Port 554 seems to be open. Port 80, 5556 and 5558 do not appear to be open.
    I am using the correct external IP address (I can toggle port 554 open and closed and test that). Toggling Blocking Anon Internet Requests Of/Off makes no difference to the result.
    I have checked with my ISP and they dont claim to block those ports.
    Any thoughts on what this could be? Is there a way to test if its my ISP? If it is my ISP, is there a workaround?
    Thanks for any help.

    Are you sure the camera does listen on those port at the time you did this tests? Are those ports open inside your LAN, too?
    5556 and 5558 look like RTP ports which may only be active after the channels have been established through RTSP.
    Forwarding of port 80 is known to be an issue on various routers as the router allocates port 80 for the web interface. Sometimes it helps to change the remote management port on the router from 80 to 8080 or something else. You may even have to enable remote management to get this active.
    If this does not work you have to reconfigure port 80 on your server to a different port if possible.

  • Persistent problems with Flash. Works for IE but not for FF. I have uninstalled and re-installed Flash as directed (twice). FRUSTRATED!!!

    I have carefully followed all the instructions provided on the FF and ADOBE sites. Can't keep searching in FF and then switching to IE to play Youtube videos or other FLash content.

    Are you aware that a different version of Flash is needed for Firefox? <br />
    IE uses the ActiveX version of Flash, while Firefox would use the Plugin version - if it was installed.
    I don't see a Flash '''Plugin''' in your More System Details.
    Maybe doing the reset of the plugins file - pluginreg.dat - file will help.
    If not, check the control panel for the Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin version of Flash.

  • Problem with blue color in Photoshop CS4 after calibrating monitor

    Hi to all! I would appreciate if someone can help me!
    Before some days I calibrated my monitor with Pantone Huey Pro and after that I find out that photoshop doesn't show blue color corectly. I create a blue (0,0,255) page and it looks a bit like violet, while I don't have any problems with red and green (which are perfect), or with other programs (other programs display blue and all colors correctly). But when I save this blue page and open it with a different program I see the real blue color. So the problem is that during editing in Photoshop blue color isn't correct, it's a bit violet.
    Can anyone tell me why blue color doesn't behave properly in Photoshop? Is there any setting I should change in Photoshop Color Settings?
    I use sRGB on my camera, and sRGB in Photoshop (North America General Purpose 2, sRGB IEC61966-2.1, U.S. Web coated (SWOP) v2, Dot Gain 20%,  Dot Gain 20).
    Thanks for your time!
    George

    Thanks for your quick responce!
    I update Huey and Photoshop and did the calibration again but it didn't fix the problem. Is it possible that the calibrator doesn't work properly?
    My monitor isn't very new, so I don't think it has wide gamut display.
    When you say that "if your display is not truely sRGB" you mean that maybe the profile created Huey isn't correct? I have done many times the calibration and the result is always the same.
    I think that Paintshop uses color management, too, shouldn't it display the same wrong blue color if Huey's profile is wrong?
    How can I check if Huey works properly? Maybe I should try it on a different PC?
    Thanks for your time!!!
    Best regards,
    George

  • Problems with 'Order Prints' from Aperture 2.1.3 Mystery borders

    *Some background:*
    I've been using Aperture for about 3 months now, importing most of my iPhoto library into the program. I have only recently started shooting in RAW format, most of my photos image files are in JPG format. In the past, I've had no problems with obtaining prints from within iPhoto or to a limited extent Aperture. So, far as I know my program is up-to-date. I have 2 plugins installed: Aperture2twitter and *flickr export Lite* both of which work acceptably.
    *The problem:* I ordered 317 4×6 prints from my aperture library.
    Every photo has a 1/4″ border on both sides of the image, i.e. the printed image is only 4×5 1/2″. I have never ordered this quantity before, but I don’t believe that was the problem, it appears that the processing machine was misaligned and no one reviewed the prints prior to shipping.
    I tried again, on 4 different images ... all JPG files with 3 out of 4 were OK, but one exhibited the "border" issue.
    I haven't a clue what is going on here. Apple implied +(via email)+ that I would have to individually crop every photo to ensure proper aspect ratio. This makes no sense to me at all, as I have never had this kinda problem before.
    Could the plugin(s) be interfering with the s/w? Is there a trick to having photos printed from within Aperture that was not present in iPhoto?
    Any thoughts on what the problem is would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    -john

    I believe that I've solved this problem, with the help of the folks at Apple who handle Aperture tech support using the Aperture support ID that came with the product.
    So the short answer is: Aperture print services REALLY DO REQUIRE the image to be cropped (constrained as they say) prior to the data being sent to Apple Print services.
    Here is the link that describes cropping http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1993?viewlocale=en_US
    The process as described is cumbersome, but the support tech pointed out that in Aperture, crops are 'non-destrutive' and can be undone simply by removing the check mark on the Adjustments tab of the image you crop. *This means that you do not have to make a duplicate image for cropping.*
    So, here is the process that I arrived at to ensure that my "order prints" job turned out:
    1. create an album of all the photos you want to submit for printing.
    2. for each image call up the Crop HUD by pressing 'c' on the keyboard.
    3.select the aspect ratio that you want for your photo. Make sure that it does NOT SAY Master Aspect Ratio, or Main Display Aspect Ratio.
    4. Crop the photo
    on the adjustments tab you can see the X and Y data and Height / Width information which can be undone.
    5. Submit your print request to Apple for all the cropped photos.
    When the prints arrive, you can compare the prints with the submitted photos. They should all be good. You can then delete the album (since it really is not a physical thing) or keep it for reference.
    It all seemed a bit arcane to me, as I never had to worry about this in iPhoto. It must be that iPhoto sends different data than Aperture. I have just received 200 + prints back from Apple Print Services with about 98% success rate. I just have to adjust my thinking and my process when dealing with Aperture.

  • Problems with "no color" in the "Fill and Stroke"

    I am having problems with “no color” in the “Fill and Stroke” function of Flash CS4 Pro.
    I had been using CS4 for 10 days and everything worked fine. Then I tried experimenting with various color combinations (along with “no color”) for “Fill and Stroke” for a simple button. Suddenly CS4 locked up on me while I was working with the “color panel”. A second color panel appeared in the upper left corner and the program was not responding. All I could do was to end the CS4 task.
    After that, whenever I created even a simple rectangle, at first the colors would appear as indicated for “Fill and Stroke”, but when I selected the object to see its properties, either the stroke or the fill color box would have a red slash line, indicating a “no color”, and I couldn’t select the color box to change it using the ink bottle tool, although the other box worked fine.
    Rebooting did not help. So I uninstalled CS4 (and didn’t keep the preferences), rebooted, then reinstalled it. The problem was still there. Logging on as another user didn’t help. I tried restoring the Windows system to before I installed CS4 and resinstalling it and that didn’t work. I have a disfunctional CS4 now and I don’t know what to do to fix it. Please help me. Thank you.

    Have you updated flash to 10.0.2?  Have you played around with a bunch of different selections, objects, and so forth to see if this box is always incorrect?  I think there's some particular selection (order of selecting things, and so on), where the color swatches in one location don't work as expected. However, it should not happen all the time and from what I recall it was fairly easy to work around (I can't even figure out what this was - so probably not it, as it seems hard to run into or perhaps now fixed).
    Also make sure you have the stroke selected - if you don't have everything selected, either the fill or stroke will show no color and dim depending on the selection.

  • Photo stream on my pc with windows 8 upload to my macbook (iphoto) but not to my ios devices.

    Photo stream on my pc with windows 8 upload to my macbook (iPhoto) but not to my ios devices. On the other hand, and that is the funny thing, the shared picture folder on the pc is updated with new photos/pictures from my ios devices and from my macbook. Anyone has any idea of what is the problem? This drives me crazy because i can't upload a picture manually from the PC. Hopefully anybody have an answer. Thanks in advance.

    Hi Naddod , I have the same problem. The same pc photostream receives new photos added using the photostream "add picture" button but ipad and iphone does not. If I take new photo from Iphone I can find it in Photostream of PC, Iphone and Ipad. Seems IOS error. Strange thing is that , if then I erase that new photo from the PC photostream, than it will be erased from photostream of PC, iPhone and iPad, erasing works, adding not.

    You need to do as provided. If no change after restoring as a new iPhone or not from the backup, the iPhone has a hardware problem.

  • I purchased Microsoft Office for Mac through the Apple website.. I have downloaded all from the disk into my Mac, no problem with all the other Word etc, but Outlook is asking for the key number: I have put it in but its obviously not the right one...????

In the box with the disk came the product key, have put it in and it doesnt work. Please help..x

    unfortunately - you can not.  you can't even buy outlook by itself at microsoft's own website.
    does it have to be outlook?  maybe you can get away with using something else that's outlook compatible.
    how about trying Thunderbird for Mac OS?
    or maybe you can call apple and let them know you purchase the wrong version - they might give you a break and just pay the difference for the home and business version.
    good luck

    i have problem with firefox , it wont loud , the dose not come up , and it frizzes ? i even re-install the program but it wont work:( any suggestion would be helpful , thanks
    i cant login anywhere as all my passwords are saved in firefox, i cant even access teh firefox preference to get my password, it's so sad

    You likley have a corrupted Firefox preference or other support file in your User/Library folder.
    Programs load these files from the user account to adjust to user specifications, instead of having multiple copies of the same program on the machine.
    So when you reinstalled Firefox, it reinstalled the progrma only and the user support files remained from before.
    To prove this point, use System Preferences to create another Admin account and log into it, Firefox should run like a charm.
    To remove the Firefox support files from the problem user account your going to need to locate these files and delete them one at a time and try FF again and again.
    The first one you shoull try is your FF .plist file located in your User/Library folder.
    Clicm on the Finder and use the Go > Go to Folder and paste this
    ~/Library/Preferences
    and press Go.
    Now scroll down until you see the Firefox or Mozilla .plist file and Trash it, quit and restart Firefox, it will recreate the preference file with default settings you will have to reset it.
    Next run through the list of fixes #1-13 here before proceeding.
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3353
    If you need help deleting other FF files, download the free Easy Find from MacUpdate.com and search for anything "Mozilla" or "Firefox" in your User account only and take your chances you hopefully won't delete your password file in the process.
    You should have site passwords written down someplace and locked up tightin case you need them, a computer isn't totally safe and reliable.

    Nikon say that you need 10.6.5+ for the latest firmware, although I don't see why.
    Thanks for that! I was looking for that manual, but for some reason, couldn't find it.
    I guess I'll have to contact Nikon and find out what the real story is. The camera was introduced in '08 or '09, so I'm wondering why you'd need software as recent as 10.6.5??
    Still very confusing.  :-?
    Why does it state that the camera is compatible with "10.4.11, 10.5.8..."? Does that mean that anything between 4.11 and 5.8 is incompatible???
    BTW, I tried downloading the 10.5.8 combo update recently and got an error message that the update was "corrupted" after it was all downloaded, so I was not able to install that.
