Strange blue color

Hello
shooting many events, I frequently have problems rendering strong blue colour. The blue comes from these new LED lights. In Aperture it gets magenta and is seperated from the natural looking surrounding by a unnaturally looking harsh border. I tried DxO 8 and capture One Pro 7. These don't show this error. Here is a screenshot of sample image rendered in 4 RAW Processors, including Adobe Camera RAW 3.4.3. Adobe Camera RAW has the problem too, but not so intense.
Any idea how to avoid this? I didn't find a solution. Clicking o the image enlarges it.

Hello Léonie
thanks for your great help here! I appreciate any hint and your help is always detailed and well-considered. Yes I know these camera settings. Only the embedded Preview JPEG inside the RAW or any written fullsize JPEG is affected, but not the RAW itself. A change of this setting doesn't help. I don't use those settings at all, never changed them from standard neutral, because I don't use camera JPEGs at all.
Aperture isn't able to see these high-saturated blue color in a natural way. These blues are totally off and there is no way to get them in the direction of the JPEG colors. With other programs the LED-blue looks nearly the same as in the camera JPEG, but not in Aperture. Now I tried to render the above image with the two LED-flood-lights with Capture One, DxO and Aperture. Here is the absolutly annoying result. I tried to solve it with the exposure slider, but then the blue became a strange magenta... Other controls don't help too. I think it is a problem of a too small working colour space inside Aperture and the way of rendering the extreme colors to get them inside this working space. Or it is a hopefully solvable bug. If you like I can send you the NEF and the JPEG to see it by yourself.
Thanks

Has anybody else this problem? And perhaps knows a solution?

Why can't I get Blue Colors to Print Correctly??? It prints violet/blue!!

I'm runing Windows 7 - 64 Bitwith Adobe CS5 Master Collection. But ever since I allowed CS5 Photoshop to control my new printer (HP Photosmart Prem C310) to do a test print of a graphic that I created all of my Blues print a violet/blue color, no matter what color blue I try to print. It has even affected MS Word & MS Project when I try to print known blue colored fonts or Gantt Chart Blues will no longer print blue. but it will print the same violet/blue color. I've even tried a brilliant stock windows blue which all view great, but prints the same shades of violet/blue! All my color paletes and blues view perfect. My monitor is calibrated and I've reset my new printer several times and still the same problem. I never had this problem before until I installed CS5 Suite.
A strange thing is that I can run the check printer test and the data and image that is stored in the printer willl print every color perfectly, including blues. Plus I've ran a full color copy directly from the scanner bed and the copy prints perfect as well. I almost feel as though Adobe CS5 has possessed my PC and Printer! So does anyone on here have the knowledge of getting this to print correctly like it did before installing CS5 Master Suite? Thanks to all who can take the time to respond back with solutions to my problem as I have been trying to correct it for nearly three weeks now! Could the problem be in Adobes hidden files possibly??? Thanks....

Dave,
there are at least two explanations, why Blue appears Violet on a print:
1. The printer isn't correctly calibrated or not calibrated at all.
2. A difficult explanation, please look here at p.60,61:
http://www.fho-emden.de/~hoffmann/cielab03022003.pdf
(the doc may have 2MBytes)
We are in the color space CIELab. A printer color space (gamut volume)
looks like a fruit in CIELab.
Pure (saturated) blue is mostly out-of-gamut for the printer space -
it cannot be printed with correct appearance.
A gamut compression is required. The blue has to be shifted towards
the middle axis L* of CIELab, in order to make it less saturated.
Correctly that should be done on a curved line (p.60, plane a*,b*),
but often it's done on a straight line towards the middle axis (dashed).
This straight line crosses areas which are not blue but slightly violet!
Remedies:
Use Softproofing for the appearance in the simulated prints.
If it is photo, for instance a blue sky, then shift the sky blue slightly
towards cyan.
If it is a spot color or a strong RGB blue, then use something else.

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

How can I remove the text hyperlink blue color/visited color?

Just a quick one if anyone can answer.
How do I remove or change the color of text hyperlink? For instance if I have some navigation text how can I make it show as
a solid color instead of the hypertext blue coloring? Also how do I remove the visited link color?
I want to do this so I just have the text color change when I mouse/hover over it which I already have done.
I have an example of what I am talking about. Example 1 is my text and example 2 is what I want to achieve. thanks in advance
for any help...

Hue of Blue Color in Web Pages of E7

I 've had my E7 for about three months now but there is this problem of strong hue of blue color that makes web and other pages very difficult to read. I tried Opera browser and that is very unstable almost to the point of unusable. Does anybody know how I can get rid of this blue haze and have a white background with black or blue lettering? Thanks in advance for your help

Hi msidnoble,
We're sorry to hear about your problem. If the blue hue is only visible on the phone's default browser, resetting your phone to factory settings may help.
Before resetting, remember to make a backup of your phone with Nokia Suite.
Dial *#7780# to soft reset your device, this will return the phone to factory settings without removing any personal data. If this does not solve the issue, hard reset your phone.
Dial *#7370# to hard reset your device. Hard reset will remove all settings and personal data off the phone, so remember to backup your data first.
When prompted for security code, default code in both cases is 12345.
After the reset just restore your backup (untick "settings") and re-install your applications from "My Stuff" on Nokia Store.
If the problem persists or if you suspect that the blue hue is a hardware issue, we would advise you to visit the nearest Nokia Care Point and let them have a look.
Let us know if this helps,
Puigchild

Blue color when photos brought in catalog

I am using PSE 6 - shot a series of daylight photos in Raw. (Have a Canon G9 - Lexar Prof. SDHC card). The colors look fine in the camera and also when displayed in the Photo Downloader. However, when they were brought into the catalog about 10 of 45 came out extremely blue. They are showing up at a temperature of 2850 while the correct ones (often a virtually identical shot) are 7500. None of the camera settings were changed - all were shot in P mode and raw. I deleted them from the catalog/hard drive and downloaded again - same thing. Does anyone know what might have caused this? I just took another 8 photos (again outside in daylight) and they are OK. Am heading overseas soon and I am concerned that something may be wrong with the camera. Thanks for any suggestions.

The only thing I'm missing here is why the color temperature measurements are "backwards".
Light with a color temperature of 2850 Deg K is much, much "warmer", (read way redder), than light with a color temperature of 7500 Deg K, which is quite blue. Noon daylight is considered to be 5500 Deg K. A clear blue northern sky has a color temp of in excess of 10,000 Deg Kelvin.
The old tungsten photoflood bulbs had a color temp of 3200 deg K, and if they were used with daylight balanced film, the results would be extremely RED.
The reverse is true with using tungsten balanced film in daylight, pictures would come out almost totally blue.
The film's color balance was a constant, not so with the auto white balance of a modern digital camera. or (?)
So, if the white balance of the >>camera<< was 2850 Deg K when the photos were taken in daylight, then that would explain the blue color...! Or that;s at least one plausible explanation.

Bug: 9780 blue color selection cursor missing

I am having the blue color selection cursor missing when I do the following:
At home screen, click blackberry button to open tray, but blue color cursor not shown and I cannot select application. I need to close tray and try few times.
At home screen, scroll to the top to open network panel for changing 2G or 3G. But the blue cursor not shown and I need to close it and reopen few times.

Hejdo,
Have you tried to repair permissions, and check/repair disk? Looks like some Finder plist file getting corrupted after a little use of your computer. Also, you could try and create a new user account, and log in onto this new account, to check if your problems exist on this new account too. If not, then something is going awry on your own (admin?) account; if not, well, then your issue is system-wide.

Make sure that your date and time settings and time zone are accurate (Settings - General - Date and Time). Reset your phone to 'Set Automatically' and then try signing in again - this worked for me. My date/time settings were not automatic (candy crush cheats!!).

My iPhone 4S screen is suddenly not reacting. The screen has turned a light blue color but nothing is happening. I have tried several things such as holding the power button, plugging it into the wall, and plugging it into my computer. What should I do?

Sounds like the device was dropped at some point and damaged as a result.
Take it to Apple for evaluation and a replacement.

You should try to do a factory reset and see if that helps. It's really the last resort but it often fixes problems.
