RGB White showing as Grey.

When I go to Overprint Preview: I get - 'The transparency blending space is set to RGB. Oveprint Preview will only preview overprinting that involves spot colors.'
My Colour settings I currently have:
Custom
RGM: Monitor RGB - Display
CMYK: ColorSync CMYK - Generic CMYK Profile
Color Management Policies:
RGB: Off
CMYK: Off
In my overprint preview it shows perfectly like this:
But when I export to pdf I the white is washed out and I get this dirty grey:
Anyone know how to fix this? I do not want to convert to CMYK as the documents are mostly online, however I do sometimes print them.

I do not want to convert to CMYK as the documents are mostly online, however I do sometimes print them.
It's the Export settings that determine whether color will be converted to CMYK, not your Color Settings.
Try using the default North America General Purpose Color Settings, then make a new Web intent document, and Export with the PDF/X-4 preset.
Color Settings:
A Web intent New document will initially set all color and the Transparency Blend space to RGB. If you don't want pixels you can set the rulers to different units later:
Export to PDF/X-4 which will prevent RGB colors from converting to CMYK, and include the correct RGB profile:

White background appears grey

Still trying to learn my D7000 and still have lots of questions!!!!!
Yesterday, I took a number of experimental shots (a red phone cord lying on a white background). The white background (an artists white canvas lying on the floor) was well lit from above using 5600K lights.
The shots were all taken using auto focus, auto exposure, etc and in the view finder everything appeared to be correct, but on later viewing the photos, the white background appears to be grey.
I have attached a sample image to show the grey colour.
Can anyone explain why the background is grey --- especially when using the auto mode when taking the photos.
I am not concerned about the picture quality only the grey background and I did not undertake a WB as I thought that this was part of the auto mode when taking the photo. the shot was taken by half pressing the shutter release butto to ensure that everything was OK then continuing to fully press the button.
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated

Thank you for the information.
In the viewfinder while taking the photos the background appeared to be fully white and when looking at the canvas, there was no obvious sign of any colour variation.
Also, I was under the impression that when using auto mode, that everything (including automatic white balancing) was done for you by the camera.
This camera is sure different to my trusty old Nikon F3 ---- looks like I will have to go back to the book and undertake a lot more reading (only up to page 50 so far!!!!!!!).

Text tool is only letting me type in white, black, and grey. How can I have it type in color? [was: Text]

The text on my photoshop is only letting me type in white, black, and grey. How can I have it type in color? I have tried to change the color but no matter what I do it leaves the text in grey/

What is the image mode? Image > Mode - should be set to RGB
Do you have a B&W adjustment layer above the Type layer?
If you are not sure, it would help if you upload a screen grab of your entire workspace with the Layers and History panels visible. Keep it at full resolution please.

White Color is Grey on Playback in WinXP Pro 64-bit

I am running QuickTime Pro 7.2 on WinXP 64-bit. When I output to any QT compression format I looks GREY when I playback the file in QT.
Here is the tricky part -- When I play the same file on my WinXP 32-bit laptop, WinXP Pro 32-bit Workstation, Mac OSX laptop they white show up as it should. Pure white.
When I am in After Effects on my 64-bit machine, my files show pure white, as they should. I can render individual frames and import them into QT and play...it's pure white. Only when I do an export on that image sequence does it revert to gray again.
My monitor is calibrated.
SO, it seems to me that this is some sort of playback issue on WinXP Pro 64-bit. OR am I doing something wrong? Is there a work around?
Thanks in advance for the time and help!

Open Quicktime 7
Click on Edit tab and go to preference,
then click on Quicktime Preference.
One that opens click on Advanced tab
You will see a selection for video or direct X.
Click on Safe mode (GDI only)
Then click on Apply, then OK.
Restart Quicktime and play a movie to test.
Be sure to restart QT or the changes won't take effect.
I am seeing PURE WHITE again!

White screen with grey folder question mark

hi,
i was trying to restore my mac pro 10.7 to factory setting. so i restarted my mac and pressed command+R erased my HD but while installing it back my mac turned off becuse it was not charged know when i am starting my mac its showing me white screen with grey folder with question mark. please tell me what to do

It's showing that screen becuase the OS didn't finish installing and the computer can't find the files that it needs to boot the OS. Have you tried going into the setup again by pressing the "Command+R" buttons again? If you can get back in there, try setting the OS up again and that should help.

Hi, so I pushed autofill because I thought that it would put music on my phone from a different iTunes library but it didn't work, and now the songs show up grey in my music on my phone and they won't play, but they are still there. What can I do?

Go back to iTunes, select the Music tab, uncheck the 'sync music; button, then hit apply.

After doing a Google search, I click on a link and go to the searched web page. When I go back to the Google page using the back button the links I originally clicked on no longer show as "greyed out". Any idea what is going on with the browser?

Ipod songs showing up grey and won't play

I have recently added some cd's on to iTunes. The songs show up normal in my itunes library and will play, but then when I go to them on my iPod library they show up grey and have a sync sign next to them. Most of them don't even show up on my ipod, but some do and they are just grey and won't play. I have tried re-downloading the cd's, right clicking on the songs, and pretty much anything I can think of. How do I fix this?

Couple questions for you.
Are you using the Wi-Fi sync feature?
Are you on the latest firmware?
What I would try doing is, if your using the Wi-Fi sync feature turn that off and sync with the cable that was provided with the iPod.
If you are already doing that I would try going into settings > general > reset all settings
if that doesnt work, then the last thing I would try is restoring your iPod to factory after backing everything up and trying to sync once more.
Let me know if this helps you out at all!

IPad video poster frames white box with grey tv, looking for fix

I have searched the forums and can not find a working solution.
I have mpeg4 Apple TV/ iPad videos that I have added to my iPad through iTunes.
When they came in, all the poster frames were black, as that's the first frame of video. I manually went though iTunes and set each poster frame.
I then sync and reboot on the iPad. Poster frames are now white squares with grey tv.
Repeated the above twice.
Signed in and out of home share (as suggested by one forum) and reboots iPad.
Have removed all files from iPad and then added back. Back to black poster frames.
I have no way to check if the poster frame are correct as in iTunes, I can only see files on the iPad in list view. When I do get info, there is nothing about the poster frame.
Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks!

BUMP.
Still looking for an answer on this. In addition to the above:
I have tried setting the poster frames inside of iTunes
I have tried setting the poster frames outside of iTunes and then importing onto the iPad though iTunes.
Setting ratings made no difference.
I can not add artwork manually, it is greyed out in the info pain and not accessible.
Still same results. Now all video files are a Grey Square with a different symbol depending on what "Media Kind" the file is set to. And in fact, when I do this, the files disappear from iTunes and I can no longer find them.
Apple, Please help!!
Reading the Forums, this is a problem that has yet to be answered.

However, you likely have a hardware problem since it started after dropping the iPod. If the toubleshooting does not solve the peroblem then make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

MacBook Display flashes white, red, blue, grey when starting up.

This problem just started yesterday when I turned on my Mac. It made the apple sound and then it went to a blue screen then started flashing white, red, blue, grey and then a few grey patterns. It went away last night when I left it on for about 5 minutes and when I restarted it there was no problem. However when I turned it on this morning it had happened again. I have no idea what the problem could be. Anyone had this problem before or have any advice? The Mac is 1.5 years old.

Try resetting the SMC - might help, cannot hurt.

Deep Sleep - Is it normal to show a grey progress bar during boot?

I've just downloaded the Deep Sleep widget from Axionic Labs. So far, it works wonderfully.
I really like the idea of Deep Sleep. No power consumption, quick boot and same state it was before Deep Sleeping.
However, I noticed that when I power my MBP on (after Deep Sleeping) it shows the grey boot screen with a grey bar below being filled. Actually, it's several small grey bars being filled.
Is it normal to show those grey bars when your MBP is booting after a deep sleep?
Here's a photo that I took of it: http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/2039/dsc00787uz.jpg

IPad only shows a grey screen.

Yesterday evening my iPad turned off by itself. Now when it start it only shows a grey screen. A reset causes the Apple logo to appear momentarily I cannot get the iPad into recovery mode.
The battery is fully charded, was plugged in over night.
Originial iPad running 5.1.1
Only chnage yesterday was I updated one App.
Tried standard reset using home and power button.
Interesting the Apple Logo appears to have a yello mark on it, but that may just be an illusion.
ITunes seems to see the device but says it need to be unlocked. " iTunes cannot backup "iPad "iPad name" because it is locked with a passcode."
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply.
I tried that. Nothing appears on the iPad screen although the backlight come on but in iTunes I get the same error. " iTunes cannot backup "iPad "iPad name" because it is locked with a passcode.
