Strange green tinge in B&W pictures

Have Eizo CE210W Monitor calibrated using Eizo software and a SpyderPro2. In CS3, Bridge, and Camera Raw, the shadow areas in pure grayscale black and white pictures are dark olive green rather than pure black. This is true for both jpg and RAW. However, the same photo open at the same time in Microsoft Photo Viewer is pure black, no green. Workspace in Photoshop is set to Adobe RGB, latest updates in all software. Any ideas?

To confirm if your problem is caused by a bad monitor profile:
1) If your "grayscale" photo is actually an RGB file with no saturation, open the file in PS and check the R/G/B values by running your cursor over the various tones in the image and watch the R/G/B readouts in the Info Panel. If R=G=B for shadows, midtones and highlights, the your file is good and your monitor profile is bad.
2) If your file is in fact a true 1-channel grayscale file, then your monitor profile is definitely bad.

Strange green lines with ATI 4850 iMac in Aperture, then crash.

Well, I have been running my iMac, 3GHZ, ATI 4850 for about a week now. I have had 2 lockups in OSX, 1 in boot camp and 1 graphics crash.
In OSX, all the crashes/lock-ups happen after I get these strange green lines, artifacts, that run across part of my screen. They change in length but generally always run horizontal. I can seem to find a way to post pictures here, but I have a couple screen grabs here:

Since I have to power off in the middle of Aperture, I am also getting corrupt databases, which take forever to rebuild.

Well, I called into Apple Care, after my machine crashed again twice today, once in a web browser and once under EveOnline. The person said to download and use some fan control software. It installed, but didn't do much, couldn't get it to change fan speed or anything else.
I installed iStatPro, which is great, and kept checking the temp of the ATI card, it would crash when the temp was up around 65-70 degrees C. Not sure if that is high or not.

I've just hooked my 20" iMac up to my Toshiba 37" HDTV using a mini dvi-HDMI adapter, and works well, EXCEPT for the green tinge (or hue) that is showing up on my TV. Any suggestions or ideas?

I've just hooked my 20" iMac display up to my Toshiba 37" HDTV using a mini dvi-HDMI adapter, and everything works well, EXCEPT for the green tinge (or hue) that is showing up. Everything else looks pretty good though..... The color that is on my iMac is still good, Its just green on the TV.
Anyone have suggestions or ideas?

Try opening the Display System Preferences, then click on the Color options in the Display preferences window that appeared on the Toshiba display. Click on the Calibrate button and follow the instructions for creating a custom ColorSync profile that will hopefully solve the green tinge issue. The Apple Display Calibrator Assistant software that launches when you click on the calibrate button will walk you through the process.Assuming that the green tinge is minor and that you don't have a more serious cable or hardware issue, I am hopeful the results will be worth it.

Thumbnails and Previews have a green tinge

The thumbnails and previews in my library have suddenly developed a green tinge.
I have tried Update Previews, Generate Thumbnails, and Generate Previews with no success. I have also used Repair database and Rebuild database, again with no positive result.
I am at a loss to know what to do next.
Jerry

I have a similar issue, but it doesn't seem to affect all thumbnails.
Thumbnails have thos unprocessed raw look (bluish, greenish tint):
But they look fine once you open the real pictiure:
What could possibly cause this problem? I have re-generated prebviews and thumbnails but can't seem to solve the problem.

Green tinged display on DVI output

Hi
I've connected my MacBook Pro to my tv.
I've used the Apply DVI adapter to VGA.
I then have a VGA converter to component output.
My TV is a Toshiba DLP.
The display has a green tinge.
Is this an issue on the Apple side on the tv?
Thanks

Strange green screen problem while playing movie

For the first time I purchase a movie from iTunes Store, As I started playing it neither I could hear the sound nor I could see the video but after much of effort of re-starting my iTunes and MacBook, it started to play but while playing the movie if I shift to full screen mode, a strange green screen appears for a second or two and then plays normally and if while playing I return back to normal screen, the green screen never goes, then again I have to stop the movie and restart iTunes to be able to play back the movie normally. Does anyone have any idea about this strange problem?

Hi Maen Abdulhaq,
“When I start games like Red Alert2 and a lot others”, ” I don't think that this is a manufacturer problem since it's very common to all those having windows 7 x64 and trying to play such games”
Did this issue occur in the whole games or just the Red Alert2 in your machines ?
“unfortunalety windows compatibility settings”
Have you tried in windows 98 or lower compatibility mode, please ensure you have choose run as an administrator?
Apart from this ,I recommend you to try this method.
create a shortcut of "Yuri.exe" (or "Game.exe" if running normal RA2), and place it on the desktop. Open the properties, and in the target line add "-dxlevel 8" to the end. It should look like this (or similar if you're directories
are different).
"C:\Program Files (x86)\EA Games\Command & Conquer The First Decade\Command & Conquer Red Alert(tm) II\RA2\YURI.exe" -dxlevel 8
Meanwhile, entering Intel HD Graphics control panel (via Windows Control Panel or right-clicking the desktop) and enter Power section. Choose "High performance" mode.
If the issue persists, I recommend you to disable one graphic card from the device manager to have a check considering you have two graphic cards.
Best regards

Is there a way to green screen and do a picture in picture in iMovie

I was wondering if there was a way for me to be able to do a green screen and picture effect at the same time
Or in other words, is there a way to select two of these at once?

In short : No.
… but there's a workaround:
create a project with green screen first, export it, re-import it to iMovie, apply pic-in-pic ...
Or, dare the plunge to a professional tool, FCPX …

Strange green outlines on components when pressing CTRL + mouse move

Hi All
I detected a strange behavior in my Swing application (Windows XP):
If I press the Ctrl key and move the mouse on the screen, every component gets an ugly green outline.
It stays as long as the app is doing the next repaint.
Any suggestions? Thank you very much!

Which is why I can't reproduce it in an other application.Well, then you compare your "problem" appliation with the "working" application to see whats different.
If you can't see whats different, then you use the problem application and start removing components and logic. That is remove one panel from GUI and see if it works better. If not then remove another panel. Eventually you will remove a panel and it will start working so you have isolated the problem.
If you remove all panels and it still doesn't work, then you have a SSCCE that you can post. We can't waste time guessing what type of components and listeners you've added to your program. Its up to you to remove all the clutter.

More green color in parts of picture - how ?

I need help with my picture, where there is a branch with green moss. I would like to give the green moss more green color without affecting the rest of the image.
Have tried with maskelayer and miscellaneous filters, but can't find the right solution.

There's a couple of ways of doing this, here's one approach:
0. Add a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer.
1. Select the finger button and then click on the moss. This will tell Hue/Saturation what colour you want to change. Drag the Saturation slider to the right (or just drag on the image using the finger), this will increase the saturation of the moss but also other parts of the image. Make sure you exaggerate the effect, so it will be easier for you to fine-tune it.
2. You can drag the dark grey bit around to fine tune what colours of the spectrum your are adjusting. You can also move the falloff sliders to the left and right of the grey bit and fine-tune how the adjustment fades. Play around with this till you are reasonably happy with the result.
3. You can now use the mask on the adjustment layer to fine tune exactly where the adjustment is applied. Left click the mask on the layer so it gets selected. Now use the Paintbrush and paint with black to remove the effect where you don't want it.
You might have to play around with this for a bit until you are happy with the result..

Strange Green Playback Issues in Premiere Pro CC?

Hi, I'm having problems with some footage shot yesterday on a Canon C300. Was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction.
I backed-up the footage, imported it into Premiere and made a few rough cuts. I then left it for the day and came into work today to carry on (so I thought). When I opened premiere I was getting this weird green problem anytime I try to play the sequence. I created new sequences & new projects and tried the footage again and still same issue. I then tried some other footage we had, that was shot on a C300 (.MXF). Same issue. I can open the footage in VLC and Resolve with no problems.
A video of the problem can be seen on vimeo:
https://vimeo.com/92148775 (password: ppcc)
My setup is:
Mac Pro 5,1 / 2 x 2.66 GHz 6-Core / 32 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 memory
PCI Cards (Internal)
Slot 1 ATI Radeon HD 5870
Slot 2 MiniSAS connection to external Cubix expansion chassis
Slot 3 Blackmagic Design Decklink 4K Extreme
Slot 4 SmallTree dual port 10GbE adapter
PCI Cards (External - Cubix Xpander Desktop Elite)
Slot 1 NVidia GTX 680 4GB
Slot 2 NVidia GTX 680 4GB
Slot 3 NVidia GTX 680 4GB
Slot 4 RedRocket
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am really struggling (I'm not the most technical of editors).
Anything else you need to know, just ask!
Thanks

1. What card do you have?
2. Which drivers version are you using for the BMD card?
3. Mac OSX or Windows?
4. When the playback stops, do you see a small red icon down right in Pr's user interface and if yes, what does it say when you double click on it?
If i remeber correctly the Turn Off Dropped Frame Warning is a per timeline setting. I am not at the editing station now, so i can't check.
I assumed that 1280p50 was a typo in your first post and that you actually mean 720p50. Am i correct?
Four questions, four answers please!

Strange display problem band through screen -=Pictures included=-

I bought a refurb intel imac and had it delivered on May 30th. June 2nd, I brought the computer in to the apple store to repair the bleeding backlight on the LCD (corners were very bright); I just picked it up again on June 5th.
At first, I was very impressed with the turnaround time on the repair (3 days, 2 of which were weekend days). However, once I got the imac home & set up again, I was disappointed to see a thick discoloured bar down the entire vertical length of the screen!
The band is really strange; it changes colours depending on what colour is on top of it, and seems to flicker. I've determined that it only appears when the display is set on "millions of colours", not "thousands" or "256". I've also tried resetting the PRAM with no luck...
What are my options here? Is there an easy fix that I can try myself? Or is it more likely that the Apple store techs damaged something internally when they installed the new LCD? I really don't want to lug this computer back to the store, wait several more days, then lug it back home again. It's a huge inconvenience especially since the imac is all-in-one so I'm left using my old PC that was looking forward to a peaceful retirement...I just don't see any other choice...

I get green fuz in my email pictures when using firefox.

I can switch to google chrome and the pictures are ok. I use firefox as my main browser.

Hi George, is this a problem viewing pictures that you received, pictures you are sending (while you compose) or pictures you sent (after being processed by the mail service)?
Which mail service do you use (e.g., Yahoo, Gmail, Windows Live Hotmail)?
By default, Firefox will try to apply a color profile if it is specified in the image file. However, this does not always work out well.
You can turn off color management, or you can specify a color profile you want Firefox to use, but these settings are a bit tricky to access. You might want to try this add-on which provides a dialog to set them: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/color-management/ Color Management].
Or, to peek under the covers and set them yourself, check out these articles: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Gfx.color_management.mode Gfx.color management.mode - MozillaZine Knowledge Base], [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Gfx.color_management.display_profile Gfx.color management.display profile - MozillaZine Knowledge Base], [http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config About:config - MozillaZine Knowledge Base].

Photo Booth - green camera light on - no picture showing

The green camera light fo the iSight camera is lit up. but when i go to Photo Booth, there is only a black screen - no image is showing, Can anyone tell me how to get an image?
Thank you.
Anne

Hello Anne, (joyfulsoul)
Merely restarting you Mac may also fix your problem. If not, disconnect any USB peripherals and restart your Mac to see if the problem was caused by a conflict.
If your problem persists after the restart, try all relevant suggestions from Apple's How to Troubleshoot iSight.
If the reset suggested there does not correct your problem, and if PB is the ONLY app that does NOT work properly with ANY app that uses iSight in ANY user account that you test, quit Photo Booth. Then delete the Photo Booth Preferences file (com.apple.photobooth.plist) from your Home / Library / Preferences folder. Then launch Photo Booth again and see if the problem is corrected.
If none of the above helps and you need to post back for other suggestions, please list EVERY apps that work correctly with your iSight and EVERY one that does not. Also tell us whether the problem is EXACTLY the same in every user account you tested.
If necessary, we will offer specific suggestions based on the details in your response.
