Replacing Washed Out Sky

I have watched Russell's "replacing a washed out sky with a new one" tutorial but whenever I try it the new sky does not show through well even after overlaying it. Is there another little tweak to it that I'm not doing? Thank you.

The bluesky would not show with overlay if the sky beneath it is white. If you just want to blend the blue sky in, why don't you try toggling the opacity of the blue sky and use the "Fade" effect like Russell suggested in the tutorial and see if the result works for you?

Hi Mario,,,,
I tried everything in your reply,,, thank you again,, I had done that once before and all was working great,,
I have just now tried the Reinstall via iTunes, about 20 into the download, the iTunes logo on the phone disappeared, and the Apple Logo appeared again,,, I waited until the iTunes stated that the download had finished, and the install was in progress,,,
Nothing happened, still the Apple Logo was visual on the screen, iTunes never recognised the phone which it was on my iTunes account previously,,,
Still just a bunch of lines, maybe 5 or 6 so small writing,, I personally can not read what it is telling me, someone said it reads, incorrect shutdown,,,????????
Please advise,???
I am now at a loss,,, I really became excited when I saw the iTunes icon after putting the phone into restore,,,???
Thank you again

Hi ,
I have understood the problem.
In your ABAP code replace all the occurrrences of wa_data with the structurename.
Use the TABLES keyword to declare the structure .That structure will be same as
reference table of the table control .
Here the structure is SPFLI.
Check the bellow code , it will resolve the issue.
ABAP code - -
program zsdn.
tables spfli. " Declare the structure

Washed Out Color on One User Account But Not The Other

Heyo,
I'm on my second Macbook Pro. Apple had to replace the first one. But that's behind us.
Anyway, I have a bit of a predicament. I've noticed that the colors on my main user account are washed out and dull. I created a new user account to see if the problem was a hardware or software issue.
The thing is, the account with washed out colors has Adobe Photoshop, and the rest of the Design Premium CS3 suite - as well as Final Cut Studio 2 - but these are not on the other.
So, I'm guessing that this issue is connected with CS3 and FCS 2.
This issue appears regardless of what color profile I use. But I normally use the Adobe RGB profile - which is what I used to test the other account.
Any ideas what I could do to get my color back? Is there a setting I can change for this?
Thanks for any help,
Michael

I'd try to isolate a corrupted user preference file.
Apparently, Diskwarrior now claims to fix those. Or you can just look through the preferences folder in your user folder and start pulling some of those out to the disktop, log out and then log back in and see if that does anything.
When something is affecting one account but no others, I think the clear majority of the time it is a user preference file that is responsible.

MacBook Pro starts off in blue washed out tint then goes to grey screen

So I took out the stock HDD and replace it with a SSD and the laptop with working better then ever. Then later on at night I used the thunderbolt plug to connect it to a TV. After about 5 min the computer froze so I restarted it. But now when it reboots the screen has a blue washed out look. It won't open into OS X, instead the apple logo comes then the screen turns into a solid grey. It recognizes the SSD when I hold option but won't open it up. So I put the HDD back in and it does the same thing.
My MacBook Pro is an early 2011 15 inch with anti glare display
I'm pretty sure it was running on Mountain Lion because I didn't get a chance to upgrade to Mavericks yet.
The SSD is a 960 Crucial SSD.
I am past warranty with Apple Care so is there anything I can do to fix this?

Display problem (washed out) on MBP 13" late 2011

I have a Macbook Pro 13" unibody late 2011, i 5 (bought it at 1200 usd). Since last year I have been experiencing an over heating issue and noisy machine or fan (I cant distinguish clearly), even sometimes the machine still works and makes noisy sound when there's no running application. I am a student and not using my MBP to do professional work, such as video processing, playing videogame, or any heavy task. What I usually do are writing using Office, listening music and sometimes watching movie. Yet, a week ago my screen suddenly got washed out, like it was faded to white. I brought it to apple asp and they told me that I need to replace my Display (400 usd) and logic board (700 usd). It's totally crazy how in just 2,5 years I need to replace the units that cost me as much as a new MBP!! I bought Apple product bcause of its durability and quality, therefore this news is surely unacceptable esp when I know that I dont use my computer excessively. I tried to search the core issue and found that the 2011 MBP 15" and 17" has problem with its Graphic display and some of the users got a free logic board replacement. However, I was rare to see this goes also to MBP 13"? I really need a suggestion on this issue. Do you guys think that my problem is the same case with the 15" and 17"? And what should I do with this laptop?
Apple is truly disappoint me. Even a cheaper laptop can last more than 3 years..

mirapple6611,
The GPU problems with the 2011 models only show up in the 15" and 17" models, so you've not the same problem that some of us have had.
A new screen and a logic board replacement would be pretty expensive, I'm guessing? I've no idea why they would suggest a logic board replacement if your machine displays fine on other screens. A logic board replacement just doesn't make sense if that's the case.
If I were you, I'd get a 'second opinion' from another AASP. Won't hurt and may save you some money in the end.

Photo Prints Yellow and washed out

I am having problems printing photos on photo paper. I have windows 7 64 bit and all my hp software and drivers are up to date. My printer is c5180 and I have not had any trouble in the past. I upgraded to windows 7 in Dec., and have had several printing issues since then. By the way, I really loved the photo premiere software that came with my printer, but is no available with windows 7. I have tried printing from several programs including picasa, and the windows photo viewer, which I also don't like as much as windows xp. I have tried several different settings, including the default everthing on automatic, messed with the color setting in the printer settup, and tried printing on 8.5 x 11 as well as my 4 x 6 photo paper. If I print on regular white paper the colors are just fine, it is only when I use photo paper. My photo paper is HP Premium Photo paper. I have attached scans of two photos and you can see the one on photo paper is yellow and washed out whereas the one on plain paper has good coloring. Do I need to change anything in color profiles?
I have no idea how to get my pictures to display. They are on picasa web albums and I also tried to just drag them in.

Did anyone ever solve this problem? I have the exact situation with my C5180 and I am about replace it.

Washed out logo

I am trying to print a logo in a pages doc. I have converted the logo to a png, tiff and jpg but all seam to print as a washed out image. Actual colour is a sky blue but it comes out looking muddy. Whats going wrong? - This also happens in Word 2008.
Any ideas??

Check that you have assigned a source ICC profile to the logo
I am trying to do this, but in Preview both the 'Match Profile' and 'Assign Profile' are grayed out for my color document. Do have any idea why this is?
Take a deep breath ... -:)
Photographers live the simple life. They work with JPEG documents and TIFF documents that have one and only one object per document by definition.
If the file format you open supports one and only one object, then you see the embedded source ICC profile or the source ICC profile assigned by the system in the ColorSync Profile popup.
If the ColorSync Profile popup says Generic RGB/CMYK/Gray profile, then the JPEG or TIFF has no embedded profile and you are seeing the ICC profile assigned by the system.
If the ColorSync Profile popup says anything other than Generic RGB/CMYK/Gray profile, then the JPEG or TIFF has the source ICC profile whose name you see embedded.
Pick a JPEG from Corbis or PhotoDisk, see if it has an embedded source ICC profile, and see what happens when you change to another source ICC profile - the colours change.
If there is no source profile to say what colours the colourants in the JPEG or TIFF should form, then there is no conversion to the colour managed display.
What happens if the file format supports two or more objects at the same time, e.g. two raster objects with two source ICC profiles, or a vector object with one source ICC profile for the stroke and another source ICC profile for the fill which is perfectly possible?
If you drag one of your JPEGs into Pages and pick File > Print > PDF > Save as PDF, then you have a file format that supports several objects at the same time that may be in several colourant models and several colour spaces at the same time, too.
So, for PDF you can't assign a source ICC profile or change an already assigned source ICC profile in Apple Preview. You need to do that before you place raster objects and vector objects into the application that produces the page description.
Also, in Pages'06, the Print / ColorSync / Color Management pull-down menu is locked on 'Standard' which lets Pages manage the color. The other option 'In Printer' is grayed out which prevents me from using my printer and its ICC color profiles from managing the color.
This is as designed.
First, Pages is not doing any colour management. Pages is a client of the operating system which is doing the colour management.
Second, if the Epson driver is fed by an Epson driver, then the Epson driver expects the colourant conversion to be computed by the system which is what Standard means.
The Epson printer could in principle be fed by a PostScript interpreter running on your studio Mac or on a Mac server or Windows server in a prepress shop.
In this case, In Printer means that the system does not compute the colourant conversion, but converts the ICC file format into the PostScript file format and lets the computer running the PostScript RIP do the colourant conversion.
It is significantly simpler if you begin from a concept of the principles of the ICC architecture, and then ask yourself how a given application or configuration of applications should work. Not that this is any consolation, unfortunately.

Washed Out Brightness

Evening,
I have just bought a new Apple TV 2, on my TV it seems too bright or washed out.
It's like the brightness is turned up too high, but when I adjust the brightness and contrast so that the blacks are black, the picture overall becomes too dark.
My TV is an LG LED 47inch, model number 47LE5510
I don't have the same problem with Foxtel, Xbox 360 or PS3, they all look fantastic.
It is just the Apple TV that looks to bright or simply washed out.
(I have also tried replacing the HDMI cable incase that was the problem, but no luck)
Has anyone else had a similar problem?
Any Suggestions?
Cheers, TB

I have exactly the same problem. My tv is an LG 42 inch model. ATV2 colors are very washed out compared to the very same scene streamed to the same tv (with the same setting: standard) from my LG BD390 blu-ray player. If anyone wants to see proof of this, I just took photos from the same scene from a movie on Netflix streamed by the ATV2 and by the BD390. On the latter, the colors are brilliant, saturated, vibrant, strong. On the ATV2 they're badly washed out, pale. The difference is astounding. (I'd be happy to email the two photos to anyone who's interested.) I too tried a brand new HDMI cable (Amazon brand, newest version) and that made no difference at all. And there's nothing at all on the ATV2 to adjust! I called Apple and they had no idea. The first technician first said it was due to the fact that the BD390 is putting out 1080. When I doubted this, the connection was dropped . I called back and the second Apple person agreed that the 1080/720 issue had nothing to do with the problem, and suggested it might be an HDMI cable problem. But as I said, that turned out not to be the case. Could it be an incompatibility issue with LG tv?

MacBookPro5,5 washed out colors and lack of uniformity, as compared to v3,1

I have a MacBookPro5,5 13' inch, since last July. Since I bought the computer I have been greatly disappointed with how washed out the colors are, and the lack of the uniformity of the display across the board. The screen has been replaced once by the Apple Store, and the new one seems better, but the problem still persists.
I have been a Mac User since 1994, and have never has quality issues of this sort with Apple Products. I also have a MacBookPro3,1 and the quality of the display is perfect as compared to this new one.
I'm at odds on what my next step shall be, since it seems the quality on the other new laptops at the Apple Store are experiencing the same issues. Shall I request for my money to be returned? Though I feel that might be an up hill battle at this point.
I'm really looking for some advice, since this laptop is clearly not up to par with my entire Apple experience.

It sounds like LR is trying to use your display profile and cannot for some reason. If your calibration is based on a manufacturer-supplied profile for your display, that could be the problem because many manufacturer-supplied profiles are not compatible LR.
What I’d suggest is set your display profile to sRGB-whatever in the Color Management applet in Control Panel, then reboot, then run through the Windows display calibration procedure, again. This will make a display profile based on the standard sRGB profile instead of whatever you were using, before.
Here is a document that describes how to switch your display profile to sRGB in Windows 7, which would be similar to Windows 8:

When I run the cursor over the bad looking type...it usually sharpens up, though the effect created is very woozy feeling to your eyes. Why is this flaky looking type occurring and what can we do about it?

Bright Screen/Washed out colour!!!

I have an imac g4 which has the same symptoms as an earlier post, ie. an overly bright and washed out display. My hunch is that it could be a loose wire somewhere. The fault developed after it was in transit, it was in all its original packaging.
Has anybody else had this problem? If so what is the remedy???
I'd rather have a go myself than get ripped off!!
Imac g4 Mac OS X (10.2.x)

Hi guys,
Thanks for your input!
Here's and update... i downloaded the service manual on the page you directed me to a few days ago, it's very interesting. I've formatted the harddrive and re-installed OS 10.1.
I still have the same problem!
I reset the PMU, this had no effect.
I took the bottom off and checked the video cable, i also checked the cables in the monitor. I did this a couple of times to make sure, powering on and checking each time! Still the same problem!!!!
The universal access has no contrast setting, altering the colorsync profiles hasn't had any effect.
The next step in the manual is to replace the inverter, could this be the cause??
Not sure what happens when the inverter malfunctions, does anyone know?
Are Apple parts expensive? I should have stuck with my trusty PC!

Fonts look grainy...password circles don't seem round. Colors washed out.

Hey everybody, on my brand new macbook c2d, the fonts seem very grainy, much more so then the one that it replaced. The password circles also don't seem to be completely round. (even when zoomed in with controll + scroll) I would go to say that my iMac g3 displays fonts better then this. Also, compared to the macbook that this replaced, colors seem very washed out. Allthough I am now used to it, I am again wondering if this is normal.Is this a common flaw in Macbook displays, or do I need to get this fixed? This is a brand new computer, which is actually a replacement for a broken one, so I'd like it to be pretty much perfect.

Hello!
Yes - PRAM doesn't help.
PRAM batt is dead, has been for a while. I do need one soon...
I'll try a FW drive boot (has 10.4.7 on it), to see if that helps - but it's been bright like this for quite a while. I never really noticed, because before Tiger, all the iMac was used for was a iTunes and OS 9 games playing, weather radar checking machine. Now I'll do work on it during the day - say, when I'm home between classes and need to work on a lab report, but don't want to unpack my powerbook for just one hour. Not only that, but with these space-desktops, the brightness is just more visible. Hmm.... I wonder if I turned up the gamma to far during calibration.... checks
But the question still stands: is there any sort of internal control for brightness? It may have been the tray-loading iMacs that had that.
Thanks,
Dan.

Exporting Canon 5D footage - colours are washed out

Hi, I am a film student. It seems everyone but me cuts in Apple Final Cut Pro but I can't get my head around Apple as a whole and much prefer Premiere Pro. I working in CS5.5 Here is my current problem. I have the job of synching audio and video from a film shoot. The vision was shot on Canon 5D Mark II and the audio is .wav format, which was recorded on an external recorder. I need to replace the camera audio with the cleaner and more professional .wav files, and then I have to give the synched footage to another student who will edit on Final Cut Pro. The clips are 1920 x 1080 (1.0) 23.976 fps. The clips i have received are .mov. My project settings match perfectly the footage settings. I have now tried exporting in 15 different formats, and in every single case, the colour of the exported files is very washed out compared with the original .mov file. If I give this to the editor to work with, I'll be shot I'm sure, for being so recalcitrant. It needs to be lossless and full quality. So please someone - urgently - can you help me? I only have tomorrow to finish this and there are around 80 shots I need to synch and export in that time. Thanks, Nicky

1. If you're using Internet Explorer, set it to 'Compatibility View' so as to be able to upload images.
2. So as to judge on colour shift you need at least to compare like with like. It's not clear from your screenshot how and where you watch your original footage. Is it also Windows Media Player or another player on your computer?
Also H.264 is a highly compressed 8-bit delivery codec, with which you can experience quite visible quality loss over every next encoding (generation loss). Production codecs, like mentioned above UT Video or DNxHD, let you avoid dramatic generation loss, preserving visual quality.
3. When you encode to DNxHD 4:2:2 (that's what you were doing), set Color Levels to 'RGB Levels':
Set Color Levels to '709' when you encode to DNxHD 4:4:4
DO NOT interfere with the Depth settings when encoding to DNxHD and generally avoid using 'Maximum Render Quality'.
4. Since you wisely cropped the left part of the Export Setting dialog box, it's unclear whether you see video output on exporting or not.
5. With high probability Windows Media Player won't be able to play MOV files with DNxHD codec inside. You need to play them back in QuirkTime, which, in turn, applies crooked colour management. You need to disable it. If you're on a PC with NVIDIA card, open up NVIDIA Control Panel, go to Video -> Adjust video color settings and in the How do you make color adjustments? section choose 'With the NVIDIA settings'.
