The Color Red appearing

All of a sudden, mostly on the left side of the screen, the first letter of each word is red in several places, and my cursor is red. Just now in this text, the lower part of the letters 'y' 'J' 'p' are red, as are the upper parts of the letters 'f 'l' 'h' 'd' etc/ This is weird! Any help greatly appreciated. Tried a search, but had no luck.

Resetting PRAM
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
3. Turn on the computer.
4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
5. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
6. Release the keys.
You're only going to lose some settings like Time/Date, Monitor Resolution, and such things, all easily sattable again.

MacBook Pro attached to a projector and won't show the color red

Running 10.5.8
When running through a projector to give a presentation the color red has disappeared. The first time it happened I calibrated with the Color Munki and all was well, for a while. Now the Color Munki can't calibrate it anymore.
I've tried two different projectors (both work with another laptop)
tried two different cables and
two different connectors.
Also tried different calibrations.
Today we ran disk utilities and that worked great, for an hour or two.
I would very much appreciate any help possible.
thanks,
Amy

Thanks for your reply.
I just went and checked and the cable is inserted snuggly on all ends. I tried giggling it a bit to see if anything would change. Then I switched cords and connectors and nothing changed. Checked all was connected tightly.
Is it possible that both DVI to VGA connectors are bad? Or do you think it is from the connection inside the laptop? And is there any way to check?
~Amy
And here's a bit more info. I just went to check things again. I turned everything on again. Bad color. As I was sitting pondering things the good color popped back in. Nothing moved anywhere. Just as I was commenting to my husband that the color had come back, it went away again. Still no movement anywhere.

Dynamic range of the color red in RAW files.

I have seen this issue with my 70D and my SX-50 so it seems to be an issue with Canon cameras in general (I don't know if other camera makes have this too). Whenever I photograph something that has the color red (for me I often photograph birds) the jpegs look fine but I always start with post processing of RAW files. Anywhere the red color is found I find the color saturates out very easily. I use Adobe Photoshop Essentials (PSE) for post processing and cannot get the RAW adjusted/processed to look anywhere as good as the jpeg as detail is lost when red saturates out. This is not a problem with any other color.
For now I end up opening the jpeg as RAW in PSE and start my adjustments there which give me a better picture with finer detail than starting with the original RAW file. I will post this same question in the PSE forum to see who else noticed this and what their work around is.

Re: " All digital cameras suffer from over saturation of the red channel. It is just the way they are. It doesn't matter whether it is CCD or a CMOS sensored camera."
Just for the record I have owned 1Ds2, 1Ds3, every version of 5D, etc and all have had red issued.
I now also own a Nikon D610 and there is no such issue of over saturation of the red channel in RAW. This is one reason that I shoot the Nikon over the 6D almost all the time. The added DR goes a long way. The D610 files are just easier to work with and a lot faster to reach a final image. Desaturating the red channel on the Canon files obviously causes other issues.
I am impatiently waiting for Canon to put out a camera with a comparable sensor.

Laserjet 2605dn - Won't print the color RED

My 2 year old 2605dn is acting up. When I try to print a test page made up of several colors the color red comes out orange on the left side and fads to yellow on the far right side. I have changed the toner cartridge (all cartridges are HP, no knock offs or refilled cartridges, EVER!), but the problem still exists. I printed the supplies status page and the red column shows a full cartridge but the color is a pale pink, not red.
Can someone tell me what's going on?
Is the printer failing?
Can this problem be fixed?
Thanks for any help!

Here is what to do:

When in mail preferences, if i click on anything, the color wheel appears

Quit Mail.
Back up all data if you haven’t already done so. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore your system to the state it’s in now.
In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, copy the text on the line below into the box that opens, and press return:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Relaunch Mail. It should re-index your mailboxes. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. If you get a warning that the file is in use when you try to empty the Trash, log out and log back in.

The color red is suddenly absent

The color red is suddenly absent in all my adobe products, Ps CS3, LR2 & Br. The extreme top of the 'choose a color' window is orange where the red usually is. Even older files with lots of red when now opened are orange where the red used to be. I'm completely baffled. Is the red out of gamut somehow. On the desktop and on the web the reds seem fine so I don't believe it's the monitor which I just recalibrated today to make sure that was not causing this problem. Any ideas? The enclosed file shows up as orange.

I'm not sure right now.
All of the colorimeters (the cheaper devices) I've tested have problems with wide gamut displays.
I even got one because it was supposed to work with wide gamut displays, and it put a green cast on everything (primary coordinates measured wrong).
Sigh.
The ColorMunki spectrophotometer might work, but it's more expensive.
I think the calibrator makers are going to have to upgrade (and admit that their current devices are lacking) in the near future.

Why does the color red change from working with images in develop to library? The color gets lighter and nothing shows a change on histogram but visually you can see it.

Why does the color red change from working with images in develop to library? The color gets lighter and nothing shows a change on histogram but visually you can see it.

That's probably a broken display profile. The conversion from Library's Adobe RGB is different than the conversion from Develop's linear ProPhoto, so if there's a problem with the display profile it can show up this way.
Recalibrate, or if you don't have a calibrator use sRGB. If your monitor is a wide gamut model use Adobe RGB.
Assuming Windows, change it in Control Panel > Color Management > Devices, and relaunch Lightroom so that it can pick up the new profile at startup:

Finder extremely slow on a macbook pro, you can not turn off, and the color wheel appears to move any file

I have a MacBook Pro 2GHz i7 early 2011, 16GB RAM, a 128GB SSD and a 500GB standard. The OS is mountain lion and a month ago my finder is very slow, when moving a file appears the color wheel, also when you send a file to the trash. When you turn it on, the finder takes a long time to be active, the other apps work perfectly. When you turn it off stays white background with the spinning wheel, but never fails to go off. Heat much m'as than before and make lots of noise sinks. Sometimes also starts with the date changed to 2008, not always.
I tried to repair disk permissions, reset pvram even I formatted from a usb and the problem continues.
Please help.

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
A common cause of a slow user interface is a large set of image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons. If you have more than a dozen or so such files, move them to another folder.
Another possible cause is iCloud activity, especially Photo Stream synchronization. If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane and see whether there's an improvement.
Otherwise take the steps below when you notice the slowdown.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 2
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them (command-C) to the Clipboard. Paste (command-V) into a reply to this message. You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

Why are the colors (red mostly) in my Press Quality PDF file darker than Original AI file?

Hi,
I am new to CS5 and have been doing a lot of researching and testing saving AI CS5 files in "Press Quality" PDF format. When I preview the PDF files in MAC's Preview application (will get Acrobat Reader as well) everything looks nice and crisp, but the colors are a bit on the dark side compared to my original AI files, namely the burgundy. Needless to say, I am only using CMYK and the resolution has been set to High.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi again John,
Now I am sitting in front of the right computer and I just checked the CMYK profile in AI and it says: North America Prepress 2. I found the following tutorial on the internet and this guy says that it is best to use a CMYK profile called BEST WORKFLOW which is supposed to accurately display colors across all platforms. In the tutorial, he also added that if you do not see this profile listed then you should Load (directly from the CMYK profile window) it from your computer. However, I was unable to locate this profile on my MAC and since this tutorial is based on AI CS2, I am unsure if I can use it.

Which CMYK profile would you recommend that I use?
Many thanks,
Diane

Lightroom 5 not rendering the color red correctly

Out of the blue, LR5 has decided to render red as a dark orange - similar to the orange in the SF Giants team colors. But red in the LR5 import previews is correct. It's also correct in a different editor, Faststone Image Viewer and Irfan View.
It's orange when opened in Camera RAW 8.1 from PS Elements 10. So the culprit would seem to be Camera Raw 8.1.
A picture is worth a thousand words:

Couldn't you reach 120 Luminance in Eye One Match in advanced mode using the display's Brightness control? Are you using on the 'Custom' display preset mode and adjusting the RGB controls in Eye One Match for 6500K? Try downloading the latest Eye One Match v3.6.2 software, uninstall what you have now and reinstall with the new download v3.6.2. Something's wrong with the calibration process.
Please provide your display control settings, including Brightness, Contrast, RGB Color, and any other display control settings. Here's what TFT Central used:
Calibrated Settings
(Custom mode)
luminance (cd/m2)
121
Black Point (cd/m2)
0.18
Contrast Ratio
672:1
Firstly I calibrated the screen using LaCie's software suite while also changing the monitor to the 'Custom' preset mode, affording me access to the RGB colour controls. During the calibration process the screens brightness was adjusted to 20%, with contrast being left at 50%. RGB values were altered to 92, 90 and 98 respectively. It should be noted that OSD adjustments only form part of the calibration process with the majority of changes being made automatically at the graphics card LUT level.
After calibration, the results of the test and report were far more pleasing! Luminance was corrected nicely to 121 cd/m2, with black depth being improved also to 0.18 cd/m2. This gave us a static contrast ratio of 672:1 which was adequate. The gamma was now corrected to 2.2, and colour temperature was also now recorded at 6477k (<1% out). Most impressively the colour accuracy was improved drastically, with dE average being only 0.5, and maximum being only 1.0. LaCie would consider colour accuracy to be excellent here, and this was certainly a very pleasing improvement to the default factory settings.

Red(as in the color red) is not red in h264 output

Hello to you all,
Whenever I output a h264 file with quicktime, my colors are messed up.
I have a red car on video. It's red in the original AVCHD MTS file viewed with VLC, it's still red when converted to AIC with voltaic and viewed in Quicktime. But then it happens, exporting to h264 results in a red car with a light blue cast over it, it looks purple!. Both in VLC and Quicktime.
Tried colorsync filters, probably every existing combination, only makes things worse.
Tried to attach other color profiles with automator, only makes things worse.
I have a wonderfull screenshot of this...hmm I can't attach pictures into this forum...or can I ?
Does anyone know why my car is red in the original raw footage, still red in the AIC file and NOT red but slightly purple in the h264 export.
My settings for h264 output:
Bitrate 24Mbps. Multiple cycles.

I have the same problem with my iPhone 4s - I went to the apple store and they refused to check the inside indicators for any water damage. Only the earphone LCI was trigerred.
