Screen color saturation

I am having a problem with the screen colors on my macbook pro (15"). All of the colors on my desk top are completly over saturated. It looks similar to the way my old PC used to if it went into "safemode". I have tried color calibrating, the display profile selected is color LCD calibrated, I have changed resolutions too and this made no difference. I dont know what occured to have this result, my battery was almost drained when the problem happened, although recharging did not make a difference. At the time I was trying to access a maxtor external hard drive. Also when I switch user accounts on the mac, the problem is not present on the other user account, I guess it must be a setting on my account but cant find it.
Help?

Check the settings in Universal Access. Specifically, look at whether enhance contrast has been selected and increased. If it has, move it back to normal.

In Module, the Basic panel (white balance, color saturation and tonal scale) disappeared. How can I restore these tools?

In Develop Module, the Basic Panel (white balance, color saturation and tonal scale) disappeared. How can I restore these tools?

When you say the Basic panel has disappeared, do you mean the whole right side panel or individual tools such as the White Balance tool is gone? If it is the whole right side panel that is missing, you may have hidden it. Using the Tab key, you can cycle between hiding and showing the side panels. You can also move your mouse over to the far right side of your screen to get the panel restored but it will disappear when you move your mouse off the panel. There is also a small triangle on the left edge of the right panel that you can right click on in order to determine the show/hide behavior (I personally use the manual mode).
Regarding the individual windows contained in the left/right panels, they can be opened and closed by clicking of the triangle that is displayed next to name of the tool in its header bar. While you can elect what modules will be shown on the LR Top panel, I am not aware of any mechanism to completely hide individual tools in the left/right panels. If all else failes, you can hit the Shift/Tab key combo a few times to restore all of your windows the the default behavior.

Can you turn down color saturation?

As questioned in the subject: can you turn down color saturation in osx?
I have bought an external monitor for my Macbook, which i run trough the mini-dvi out. The screen is a nice 24" inch, but does not have an option to turn down color saturation. The colors are a bit to harsh, and i really want to turn the colors down a few notches, especially the reds. But in the built in osx calibration tool, there is not option to "turn down", the colors. I know there is a "grayscale" option in the universal access menu, but there is no slider to make a custom adjustement.
So do any of you have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Ok. I am not able to send back my display, so now im stuck with a wide gamut screen. I do not want to just throw it out. There must be some way, a third-party program maybe, that can tweak the way osx shows color. I just want to desaturate the image a little, i shoud not be very difficult, but after hours of searching on google i cant find anything.
Is there a program with extended calibration features, compared to the ones system preferences?
Thanks in advance!

Adjusting color saturation hp 5520e all-in-one

Some time ago, I had a HP c4580 photosmart all-in-one printer, which had the option available to adjust color saturation, warmth, brightness, etc. I later purchased a HP 5520e photosmart all-in-one printer, which doesn't seem to have that option. Is that option available on that printer, and perhaps I just haven't discovered it? If not, does HP make a printer that does have that option, or that compares with the old c4580? The option is seldom needed, but occasionally it is a MUCH needed option.

Hi @blubrd,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
It's possible the Photosmart 5520 may not have the same features that the older software for your Photosmart c4580 did. To check though, you just need to be in the program you want to print from, select File then Print. Then on the print dialogue window you want to click on Preferences (may say Properties) and anything you can change will be on those tabs. You also have the option to click on Advance (or Advanced Options) for a few further things to change.
If you don't see what you're wanting under those screens, it is most likely not a feature that can be changed on the printer any longer.
With that being said there may be an HP printer out there with the features you need. To get more advice on what printer will have the features you're wanting you can always contact our Sales team (1-800-473-4732) even just to inquire
Hope that helps, have a great day!

Retina ipad mini has dull color saturation

Just bought a new iPad mini with retina display yesterday.
I'm dissapointed with the mini display color, reds/blues/purple all were very dull. Obviously noticable right from the home screen (iTunes, Podcasts, Music icons)
Comparing the icon colors, and the same photo on my iPad 4 vs iPad mini retina and it's obvious that the full size iPad has way better color saturation.
After noticing the screen is below my expectations, I found the iLounge review of the new mini and they report similar color accuracy/saturation problems.
I'm going to return my mini.
Anyone else immediatly notice dull colors on their new retina mini?

I believe it's normal. I recently got a mini Retina and it's color saturation is not equal to either my iPad 3rd gen or 4th gen. I also have the non-Retina mini and it's screen compares pretty much to the mini Retina screen's color saturation. They are indistinguishable from each other, aside from the Retina's screen (of course) being sharper. I really don't think there's much you can do since it seems to affect both standard and Retina models.

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.

How can I discover a color saturation in an image?

My name is Eduardo, from São Paulo/Brazil. I'd like know how can I discover a color saturation in an image? For example, I open an image in photoshop CS6 and I'd like to know what a color is more saturated for after to do a treatment with color balance. I tried to use a Color Sample Tool in Photoshop, tried to find some articles and techiques on Google, but without success.
Somebody help me?

Hi Eduardo,
Try looking at the Color window. You can find this by going to Window -> Color. In the Color window, you can use the eyedropper to select a color and see the color information displayed. See the screenshot.
Hope this helps!

Hate screen color in Elements 9!

I just upgraded from a much earlier version of Photoshop and cannot tell you how much I HATE the dark gray screen color with light gray font in Elements 9!! I've looked at the Preferences as well as all the other menu options and am unable to find any way to even change the screen to the lighter gray mentioned in another thread as an option in Elements 8. Is there some way to change the screen and font color?
I upgraded today and, in addition to hating the screen color, I am already sick of signing in every time I open the program or go to another screen -- what if I want to work offline (which IS what I prefer)? Is that even an option? Believe me, I am regretting having paid for this upgrade. I never had these kind of problems with the earlier version I was using. Grrrrr!

Thanks. I've now changed the welcome screen setting to have the editor come up behind it and then closed the welcome screen after opening the program. Looks like I now don't have to sign in when I open it. Since I can barely read anything on the screen unless the light is just right, I'm getting a headache from eyestrain, so thinking I had to sign in to use the program was just another frustration.... I appreciate your reply.

Photoshop Elements 8 - is anyone having a problem with the screen color ?

I just installed Elements 8 & the screen color has 2 choices:
DARK (Black screen with Black & Grey text)
LIGHT (Dark Grey screen with Black text)
BOTH of these are VERY difficult to read & some text just dissapears into the background.
After speaking with the tech at Adobe, these are the only 2 choices (Dark & Light) I have.
Neither choice is worth the eye strain.
Is anyone else having the same problem ?
Has anyone found a solution ?

Thanks again. I use 125% on a 23" widescreen Acer monitor. The menus display on both the PSE7 and 9 Editor but not on the 7 or 9 Organizer. For both Organizers, I get a blank space where the menu should be - and at the right of that space, the tiny, double-arrow drop-down is nearly invisible. On 7, I slid the Edit/Preferences/General/Appearance/Brightness control to the far right in order to see the drop-down arrows. But even so, clicking the drop-down then scrolling down to select the desired menu is a nuisance. On Organizer 9, I have not been able to find any Brightness or other window-color adjustment in Preferences or in any menu option, so the drop-down arrow is extremely difficult to see. Even if the menus were visible, as with the Editors, the dark grays and blacks of the windows strain my eyes. PSE has some great features, and 9 is beter that 7, but I don't want to use a photo editing app that is visually difficult to navigate. Please let me know if there is a fix for the menu display or the window brightness/color.

Color saturation problem in Acrobat Reader 7.0.9 under Linux

Hi,
I'm working with a guy who is producing PDFs of my work with Indesign.
Using acrobat reader under Linux (version 7.0.1 and also 7.0.9), the colours in these PDFs always appear very saturated. This is a big problem for me because I cannot see with the reference viewer the results of PDFs to be sent to print.
I tried the same pdf file under OS X & Windows, it appears OK with Acrobat reader. Other free pdf readers under Linux also show the right colours (but not always the transparency ;-).
Does anybody has an idea to help me?
@Adobe people: in case you want to test, I drop a copy of my PDF file at: http://cardot.net/files/pdfcolours.pdf (2.24 MB)
Thanks in advance
Jean-Christophe Cardot

We are able to reproduce color saturation problem at our end. We have noted down and will work on this.
Thanks.

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,
I would request you to share the a url or few screenshot so that i can get better idea about the issue.

Macbook pro screen color vs. macbook's

I have a macbook and yesterday i bought macbook pro and i realized colors on mbp screen is different with mb
i prefer macbook screen colors how can i have it on my mbp please

The Pro's have newer and different screen technology, resulting in a different color curve and response. Run the ColorSync Utility found in the Utilities folder and compare the Color LCD profile on each of the computers to understand the concept.
You can try to simulate the MB screen on the MBP, but it will never be the same. They're two different beasts.

My film looses color saturation when I export it to Quicktime Movie from FC

My film looses color saturation and punc when I export it from Final Cut Pro. I have tried Compressor, but I think Compressor is quite difficult to use.......
I did add color in FCPRO with Color Corrector and the saturation slider......
Probably not the best way. But I think using Final Cut Pro is a challenge and using the other applications like COLOR etcetera is a quite heavy task to overcome.....

No - it has no effect whatsoever on either the original captured footage or what is in your project.
It can do no harm.

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.
