Screen color issues.

Our screen colors are all off; it looks as though someone has pressed the entire screen too hard and all the colors are bleeding together. You can still make out pictures and icons, but it's tough.

I beileve what you are descibing is a broken screen, nothing is wrong with the input into the screen more than likely. Has it been stepped on? Is the alumnium casing on the top of the computer (where the apple that lights up is) bent? I don't know how you could replace a screen on a Macbook Pro, but this may be what you have to do.

IPhone 5s screen color issues

Got a 5s, love, however I was wondering, the color white seems "yellowish". I was able to get one (AT&T) through Best Buy, and ordered one through Apple. Both phones seems to have the white color issue. I went to the Apple store and compared the screens, my phone seems "yellowish", even confirmed by the Apple employee. Anyone else having issues?

Thank you for your help, Shipping cost is a issue. I will contact the apple soon
Thank you

Original iPhone Screen Color Issue?

Hello, so basically my original iPhone is having some screen problems. Whats happening is that the screen colors of the iPhone are somewhat inverted. I don't know how to fix this cause I'm not sure whether or not it's a hardware problem. A helpful note: when I restart it, it shows the apple screen but the backdrop is white and the apple is dark. Other than that it works fine.

and if theres any information ive missed that you would like to know, feel free to ask

T400s Screen Color Issue

Anyone have a color-mismatch issue? T400s screen is at factory default but the colors are definitely different from desktop screen rendering. Have tested photographs on different screens and the T400s is much cooler (less red). Also, hypertext links are a lighter blue on the T400s vs. more blue/purple on the desktop monitor. This has been tested on a Samsung desktop monitor, a MacPro laptop, a Dell desktop monitor. All are the same except for the T400s.
Any comments are appreciated!

Funky color issues on screen

WHAT THE....?!?!
My friend Kathy had color issues with her Power Mac G4. She took it to two tech shops and both agreed it was something to do about her harddrive & recommended her erasing and reinstalling the OS. So yesterday we backed up her old HD on an external, erased her internal HD and reinstalled OS 10.3, did all the updates, and put back some of her original photos and documents. However after we reinstalled the OS, the color mixup is still present.
ABOUT THE COLOR
For instance, the Finder Icon (the face on the far left of your dock) is regular blue and ligh bluish/gray on a normal mac. But Kathy's computer is showing regular blue and a bright blue! There are also other instances of color shifts: user icons are erratic (like the butterfly and the lips icon), about windows while certain programs are opening, and other instances.
HELP
How do we update the firmware if it doesn't show in the Update window? Should I contact the video card company (it's a Radeon Graphics Accelerator)? Or should we check the color calibration for the screen and/or system preferences? I would really appreciate any help. Thanks!

It turns out she has two cards installed in her computer:
GeForce2 MX:
Type: display
Bus: AGP
Display Type: CRT
Slot: SLOT-1
VRAM (Total): 32 MB
Vendor: nVIDIA (0x10de)
Device ID: 0x0110
Revision ID: 0x00a1
ROM Revision: 1045F
ATY,RADEON:
Type: display
Bus: PCI
Slot: SLOT-3
VRAM (Total): 32 MB
Vendor: ATI (0x1002)
Device ID: 0x5144
Revision ID: 0x0000 ROM Revision: 113-77701-225
Also - my computer still has an extra video card (?) from the time when I had two monitors - could that second card be a problem? The technician at Learning Express wondered when he was troubleshooting, but I didn't go ahead with removal then.
~ This is what she emailed me.

Hi pcarq007
The Yoga 3 Pro has a "paper display" setting.It's meant to help you read stuff (reducing eye strain) giving the display a yellowish,book page like tint.
You can turn it on or off by pressing "Fn"+"Esc".
Let me know if this solves the issue.

Printer not printing AND Matching Screen colors to Print colors. Any advice is apreciated!!

Hello - I have 2 questions regarding printing to an Epson and also regarding the monitor colors Not matching the print colors working from Photoshop CS4 on a Mac with a Maverick [ 10.9.3 ] OS. My issues are Not about my own printers or software. I have been tutoring a friend via phone in Photoshop; he has CS4 and is working on Mac OS 10.9.3.
1- We found that he could print nearly fine [ nearly accurate colors ] from Lightroom on his computer, version 5.4. But when he tries to print from Photoshop he cannot make a print. There is clear communication between the computer and the printer, as, when he sent the file to print, the printer [ an Epson 3880 ] responded by automatically changing to Photo Black from Matte. Then, it opens the rollers as if to print, but, it them stops and the menu [ on the Printer ] says 'Ready.' The paper is 4x6” Moab Lasal paper 300gsm. This issue of Not printing is only with this Moab Lasal luster paper, for which he Does have the IIC profile, and we always make sure ‘Photoshop manages colors,’ not the printer. To address the issue of the printer Not printing at all using a non-Epson brand paper, we have tried seemingly everything from deleting and re-adding the printer from the Library / Printers, resetting everything [ printer computer software etc ], trying different settings in the Printer window and the Print Settings window. Including changing the media profile, platen gap, etc.
2- My other and more important question is – after we Do get a print, we cannot match the monitor color to the print. [ We havE been able to get a print using Epson brand paper. Which is odd because we have the ICC profiles for both papers ]. To address the color matching issue, he has told me he calibrated the monitor with a Spyder, and here are a few other variables that I can relay that may or may not be affecting his color-issues:
He iS viewing his prints in a dayliglht-rated lighting environment
The monitor is an iMac glossy finish monitor, not an anti-glare
We tried working and printing from both an 8-bit and also a 16-bit color-space and also 16-bit printing
The color shift is slightly but noticeably toward Magenta.
His printer is Not calibrated
Please let me know what else we can do, any known glitches that may be an issue with his older version of CS, any tips you can suggest.
Thanks very much!

I don't have that printer and I'm not on Mac, so someone else has to step in there. Generally a green/magenta cast indicates none/double printer color management. But then I don't know what you mean by "slight".
The Spyders aren't the most consistent and reliable calibrators out there. I had a Spyder 3 sensor that I just threw away because it gave a distinct red cast (I have several other calibrators, so there was no doubt). Another potential problem is that with most calibrators you can only adjust the white point along the blue/yellow Kelvin scale, but not on the green/magenta scale. This is often necessary to get a good white point color. In this case you need to use the monitor's OSD controls, and if possible the "pre-calibration" function in the calibrator to measure and monitor it - if that function exists. And I don't know if this is possible with an iMac.
This is basically a question of getting the white point right, both on the blue/yellow and the green/magenta axis (and luminance of course). The goal is to get a visual match to paper white on screen. With the white point properly set, neutral color balance relates to that, and the rest more or less follows by itself. (In addition you should set the proper black point/contrast for full control, but that's not the issue here).

Camera Raw 8.7.1 color issues

After the recent camera raw update to 8.7.1 I have noticed some pretty bad color shifts between camera raw and photoshop cs6. The colors in camera raw look very saturated and then when moving into photoshop the saturation shift is pretty dramatic. I never had these issues before the update. I have attached a screenshot illustrating the color issue. I am working on a very good monitor ( NEC PA 242W ) and it is color calibrated using NEC Spectraview calibration system. I have double checked my color setting in photoshop and camera raw to make sure I was viewing the same color space. I am just wondering if this is maybe a bug in the update and others are experiencing the same issues or if I am just missing something.
I would also add that I am using the Creative Suite CS6 and not CC. If that makes a difference.

Thanks ssprengel for the suggestions and running a side by side yourself. I went through all my settings and applied your suggestions and did a side by side each time. I even uninstalled the entire creative suite on my system then reinstalled and updated and I still get the same outcome. It was fine yesterday with the previous version of ACR. It seems like the updated version is not showing the image preview in any color space. When I switch the color space in the workflow options the histogram changes but it doesn't seem to affect the preview window. And yes the preview button was checked on it was just when I was using the screen grab tool in windows it took focus away from the application so that is why the settings appear grayed out. I have attached more screen grabs below illustrating all my settings. Also here is some system info if anyone out there has a similar setup and would be willing to test.
Adobe Photoshop Version: 13.0.1 (13.0.1.3 20131024.r.34 2013/10/24:21:00:00) x64

Photoshop CC Color Issues

When I updated my Photoshop program two updates ago I began having color issues in Photoshop as the rest of the Adobe Suite. Regardless of whether the color mode is RGB or CMYK the colors appear washed out on the program. This image http://i.imgur.com/BWVwbx2.jpg is an example. The image on the right is a screen shot of the original image of the shoes copied from the website, the image on the left is the same image copied into photoshop. When I try to save the RGB file as a jpeg or a PDF it looks the same as it did in the program, washed out. However, when the file is CMYK color mode and I try to save it as a jpeg or PDF it looks like this http://i.imgur.com/TAUyeOf.jpg. Both my coworker and I started having this issue on our seperate computers around the same time so I don't believe that it is a graphics card issue or something along those lines. How can I fix this? I have tried calling Adobe support, but unfortunately the person on the phone was not very experienced in the program and unable to help.
Some Info about my computer:
Currently I have Photoshop CC with the 14.2.1 update. I have Windows 7 Professional SP1, 64-bit OS, 8 GB of RAM (7.87 GB Usable) and 360 GB free space on the (C:) drive.

Illustrator and Windows Photo Viewer agree. They should, because they're both fully color managed. I assume Photoshop shows the same.
Picasa is not color managed. All bets are off there, it can display like anything under the sun, depending on what color space the file was created in, and how your monitor displays color.
There is a basic checklist for color management issues:
1 - is the application color managed at all?
2 - is there an embedded document profile, and what is it?
3 - what is the monitor profile?
We've established #1. For #2, see in the lower left corner of the Photoshop image window. Click the little arrow and check "document profile". What does it say?
#3 is often the critical one. This is where your calibrated monitor profile should be - but if you don't do that, it's often a manufacturer supplied profile. These are often worse than worthless. The best option here is to use sRGB if you have a standard gamut monitor (like the U2412) - or Adobe RGB if you have a wide gamut monitor (like your co-worker's U3011). Yes, there is a significant difference between these two.
Anyway:
Go to Control Panel > Color Management > Devices. Set sRGB IEC61966-2.1 as your default monitor profile there and relaunch Photoshop:
With this setting, Photoshop, Illustrator and Windows Photo Viewer will display (more or less) correctly. It could still be that the file had the wrong document profile, or none at all, but the file will display correctly as it is.

Full screen images and full screen color background boxes are cropping horizontally.

Full screen images aren't loading and full screen color background boxes are cropping horizontally. I'm forced to make my images a full screen slide show (of 1 image) to make it work, but then I lose the option to pin the image. Am I alone in this?

Hello,

Strange Color issue for my display (blue - purple tint)

hi guys,
I have a white macbook.
Recently, I realize some color issue on displaying blue.
check this picture below (I uploaded to my flickr)
and when it occurs I can only restart my computer, sometimes it changes back to normal...
or I can just use an external screen to ignore this problem (which I am doing it now)
anyone have any ideas?

I fixed it by going back into each diffuse texture and choosing "Edit UV Properties" and hitting OK - this seem to reset and re-render each texture.
Seems like a bug unless you can't use Image Size on documents that contain 3D layers maybe?

Dual monitor color issue - oversaturated image in CS4

Hi, I wonder if you can help. I found people having similar issues, but never seen an actual answer, so your input would be greatly appreciated.
My set-up:
MacBook Pro Dual Core intel based 15.4 2.6GHz running OS X 10.5.6 - also my primary display
HP LP2475- secondary display
CS4
Both monitors were calibrated using X-rite Eye-one LT (each with a separate profile)
I've tried calibrating each monitor 3 times and still get the proble,
My problem:
Running in dual monitor mode in bridge or safari/firefox- no problems at all: almost consistent colour between both monitors.
When I open the images in Photoshop CS4, they look fine on my MacBook screen, but when I drag them over to the HP the color is grossly oversaturated - especially in the red. What am I doing wrong? (in fact on the HP monitor, the color looks perfect in bridge but super insanely saturated in CS4)
Does anyone have a clue on how I can fix this?
Thanks!

You say your running 10.5.6? Why haven't you updated to 10.5.8?
FWIW, I never had color issues under 10.5.X, however I have since upgrade to 10.6.

How can I reset the screen colors/resolution on an old white macbook?

My screen shows neon colors and a zigzag shapes. How can I reset the color resolution? This laptop was supposedly fixed but when returned all my data had been "lost". The certified mac tech said he reinstalled the OS but lost all my desktop files and HD and couldn't recover. ODDLY, when I started the machine and started fresh, my old hard drive was still there! Although he'd wiped out my current desktop files- gone. But, the screen colors went wonky all of the sudden and I don't know how to resert or correct the resolution. Can any one share a suggestion?

With that kind of issue after returning from a repair where a tech was inside the computer, it should be returned to the same place for an evaluation of the problem, a diagnosis, and perhaps they need to check their work to see if something came loose while they had it apart.
The System Preferences> Displays has a panel to select settings.
You may have to try & see about a reset of System Management Controller http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 Or, if reset of NVRAM http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379 may help. Not sure if these would do anything if there is hardware damage.
Good luck & happy computing!

Major Color Issue

I am having a major color issue in 10.3.9.
Issue #1:
Setting Color Labels...
even though the names of the colors are there, the colors are actually shades of blue and gold.
Issue #2:
Mac Icon...
normally on the dock, it's 2 shades of BLUE.. however on mine, it's 2 shades of GOLD.
Issue #3:
Adobe Programs...
In Photoshop, Illustrator and Acrobat, ALL PHOTOS have this duotone look (blue and black) and the ONLY way to preview a photo in true color, is if I save for web and in that screen, it shows correctly. I'm a graphic designer and it makes it VERY difficult to adjust photos.
I know its not the photos themselves, because they preview correctly when imported into Quark and also when printed. I have also tried switching monitors, to see if that was the issue and I still have the same problem. I had this problem back in January, when I upgraded to 10.3.9, and my supervisor fixed it through DUMB LUCK! I recently had to re-install everything, including the OS and this problem resurfaced. Now it's almost a year later and we've tried everything we could think of, but no such luck. This is my last hope!
Does anyone know how to fix this problem, or has anyone ever HAD this problem? Is it just my negative energy that is feeding into it and making it want to lash out at me?!?!

I am having a very similar issue, and am really pulling my hair out. I have one user that is having this problem - FROM ALL MACHINES! I have deleted ALMOST every preference in ~/Library/Preferences to no joy. Just started yesterday. (I am using network Home Folders - with no other major issues)
Everything looks like it is in 8 bit color.
I have done all the standard fixes. It does it no matter which machine this user logs into, so it is not a hardware or /Library/ issue. It definitely is a ~/ issue.
