(GS70 2QE GTX 970M) MSI True Color Ghosting Issue

Hi everyone,
I just found out about MSI True Color and decided to give it a go on my GS70 2QE. After some tweaking, the results are simply outstanding. I ususally work with 2 other IPS monitors, and now the GS70's monitor color is pretty close to them.
Unfortunately there are 2 issues that are bugging me alot:
1) When dragging windows or scrolling on chrome, there is a clear redish ghosting effect. It's visible just by moving the mouse pointer from side to side.
2) When the laptop boots up, it takes a few seconds to trigger my profile on MSI True Color, but just moments after that, it changes the color of the screen again. I have to manually go to the icon, and change the profile again in order for it to stick.
Has anyone else tried the MSI True Color on their laptop? Anyone with similar issues or with a solution for these problems?

Dell XPS 15 Color Management Problem with "True Color"

I recently purchased a Dell XPS 15 (6845slv). Overall I have very happy with it...but have been getting frustrated with color management issues and was hoping to get some advice.
Intermittently, the display had been changing the color scheme (to a suboptimal scheme). It lasted for anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes and then returned to the original (and more normal appearing) color settings. It did not seem to happen while running any particular applications. All drivers are up-to-date.
I turned off the dell application "True Color" which I thought may have been making automatic adjustments to the color scheme and since turning it off the issue hasn't happened again. However now I'm concerned that by inactivating that software, that I may not be maximizing the potential of the high quality HD display. And now--though maybe it's in my head--the colors seem to be a little flatter since turning off True Color.
Does anyone have any suggestions for getting the most out of the display? Has anyone had similar issues with True Color? Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks for your help.

I ended up fully uninstalling it from programs and features...I haven't had the problem since. I've been happy with the display since making this change.

Mayuk, you are not making any sense here.
True color (24-bit)
"True Color" redirects here. For images with natural color rendition, see true-color.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Truecolor.png 24 bits (16,777,216 colors, "truecolor")
True color supports 24-bit for three RGB colors. It provides a method of representing and storing graphical-image information (especially in computer processing) in an RGB color space such that a very large number of colors, shades, and hues can be displayed in an image, such as in high-quality photographic images or complex graphics. Usually, true color is defined to mean 256 shades of red, green, and blue, for a total of 224 or 16,777,216 color variations. The human eye can discriminate up to ten million colors.[13]
Color images composed from 3 grayscale images A, B & C assigned to R,G & B in different orders.
"True color" can also refer to an RGB display-mode that does not need a color look-up table (CLUT).
For each pixel, generally one byte is used for each channel while the fourth byte (if present) is being used either as an alpha channel, data, or simply ignored. Byte order is usually either RGB or BGR. Some systems exist with more than 8 bits per channel, and these are often also referred to as true color (for example a 48-bit true-color scanner).
Even with true color, monochromatic images, which are restricted to 256 levels, owing to their single channel, can sometimes still reveal visible banding artifacts.
True color, like other RGB color models, cannot express colors outside of the gamut of its RGB color space (generally sRGB).
Macintosh systems refer to 24-bit color as "millions of colors".
RGBA color space, or 32-bit color, is a variant of true color in which the additional 8-bit is allocated to transparency and indicates how transparent is the element to which the color is assigned, when overlaid on other elements.

Canon S100 RAW color issues

Hello, all. I created a thread with this similar issue a few months ago but never really got it resolved. Instead of reviving an old thread, I decided to just recreate it with updated information.
I have the new Canon S100 and I am having an issue with how the RAW files appear in Lightroom.
I import the photos into a Lightroom catalog and they all look fine within the importer window (which shows essentially what a JPEG would look like), but when I click on the photo in Library or Develop, once the photo finishes loading, the red saturation goes through the roof.
Any photo that already had a little bit of warmth to it exploded with red.
Whereas any photo taken in normal light gains a little more warmth and exposure.
Here are a couple examples of the JPEG preview (also how it looks in-camera) compared with what the RAW looks like once it's been loaded in Lightroom. (The above or left photo is the “normal” version, the bottom/2nd image is the RAW)
It’s sort of difficult to tell with some of the photos by looking at them side-by-side. I also have the individual photos if you want to A/B them to see the changes that are actually occurring.
There are no presets being applied upon import.
The only solution I've found is to convert them all into JPEGs using Canon's software (which does not alter the images as seen above), and edit them in Lightroom as JPEGs, but that completely eliminates the point of buying a camera that is capable of shooting in RAW.
I’ve been having this issue since the S100 first came out (when I purchased it) with Lightroom 3.6RC and was told that it would be fixed in Lightroom 3.6… which it wasn’t… nor was it fixed in Lightroom 4.
I decided to just go ahead and convert all my photos to JPEGs until I found a fix to this so I could at least have my photos (I had photos from my anniversary with my girlfriend in November that I couldn’t do anything with so I was sick of waiting).
I figured I’d wait till more people had the camera, expecting this issue to be more widespread… but now that a lot of people have the S100, I’ve looked around and found no other instances of this happening… so I’m worried it’s something on my end.
I have a 2008 13” MacBook Pro running OSX 10.7.3 and I have the latest version of Lightroom (4.0) and Camera Raw (7.0) installed. I’ve tried the photos in Photoshop CS5 and it does the same thing. When this first happened back in December I tried the photos in Aperture as well and it did the same thing.
The only software that seems to recognize the true color of the photos is Canon’s horrible “professional editing” software.
Thanks in advance.

I recently bought an S100 and encountered the same problem. With Camera Standard in Lightroom, Reds are too bright, greens are shifted towards yellow, and some yellows are shifted towards orange.
I have been using Lightroom since the beta, with different cameras from different manufacturers. The camera profiles for the S100 are the worst I have experienced by far. The profiles, particularly all of the profiles that start with "Camera," do not fit this camera. I believe somebody made a mistake. It could have been someone at Canon, it could have been someone at Adobe. I don't expect this mistake to be fixed, or even acknowledged.
Moving on, here is my workaround:
Start with the Powershot S110 Camera Standard profile.
Use dcpTool to decompile the profile.
Open the decompiled profile in a text editor.
At the top, change the name to S110 Standard.
At the bottom, set the baseline exposure offset to zero.
At the bottom, change the model restriction from S110 to S100
Use dcpTool to compile the modified profile. Give the resulting .dcp file a different name than the original.
Put the new .dcp file in the appropriate directory, open Lightroom and apply the S110 Standard profile to your S100 images.
dcpTool is here:
http://dcptool.sourceforge.net/Introduction.html
This hacked S110 profile gets rid of the blazing reds. It does have some problems with yellows and greens. I solve this in Lightroom by using +20 in Camera Calibration: Green Primary: Hue. I haven't had my camera very long, and I may end up making other adjustments in Lightroom. But using the Powershot S110 Camera Standard profile seems like the best place to start.
I tried using Adobe's DNG Profile Editor app on the S110 "Camera" profiles, but did not get good results. From what others have posted on Adobe's forums, this is to be expected. A lot of the "Camera" profiles are too complicated for DNG Profile Editor to work well on. Both the S100 and S110 Camera Standard profiles have over 23,000 lines of code when decompiled!
I also tried dcpTool (and DNG Profile Editor) with some of the other S series and G series profiles, without finding anything that works better than the S110 Camera Standard profile.

JAI - Saved image has black background (unless screen config is True Color)

Hi!
I'm trying to save images using JAI's codecs. Everything is okay if screen config is True Color, but if in 256 colors (or even in 65536 colors) the background of my images looks very dark...
Can you please have a look at the code bellow (and try it with some different screen configs). I'm really stuck with that issue; any suggestion may help...
NOTE:
- I've noticed this problem when using JAI's jpeg codec.
- The problem occurs with both JDK 1.3 and 1.4.
- The problem does not occur (only) if screen config is True Color.
- You must rerun the code after changing screen config.
Thanks for help...

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.

GS60 2QD GHOST True color error!

Hi,
I have GS60 2QD GHOST.. I flashed my firmware to latest version that is 16H5EMS1.506
which Support true color AP. <--- i don't know what that mean. can you explain to me please?
and then I installed the Utility MSI True Color but when trying to run the program it gives me error saying "the Files native.bin and backup.bin do not exist"
I want to run MSI True color... Can you help me please

Yes, I tired placing the native.bin at C:\ProgramData\Portrait Displays\True Color . Thank you.
I also tried the files and folders provided by cmplieger. Still the issue persists. Comparing the files and folders he provided I see they are the exact same as my own in structure and size. I don't know how to compare them any more completely than that, but would be happy to try if you think it would help. I could also upload mine if someone else would be willing to compare.
I still think it's interesting that Ventriloko had a Truecolor folder in his recovery at C:\Windows\RE_DRIVE\RECOVERYCD_ISO\RECOVERY_DVD\TrueColor , which I didn't. I removed it after tying what I thought I could there. My thoughts are now leaning to the possibility that some systems, including Haswell machines, have something modified in the registry that the TrueColor program looks for at launch. Below you will see part of a screen shot during the last moments of my TrueColor installation attempts. To me, it appears the installation is looking for something (regsvr32.exe) and can't find it (returning a code of 0). Perhaps it does find it and doesn't like what it finds, so to speak. What are your thoughts? Does anyone else (who has TrueColor working) recall seeing this during their installation? It is displayed longer than most of the information, but still relatively briefly at the near end of the installation as you can see from the progress bar.
Perhaps, if it isn't to much to ask, someone (that has TrueColor working) could see if they have any entries in there registry referring to TrueColor and refsvr32.exe.
I only have one for TrueColor as listed at:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\MuiCache
as:
C:\Users\Thom\Desktop\MSIstuff\Install TrueColor20150324\Install TrueColor20150324\Export\msiTrueColor_1.1.441.exe.FriendlyAppName
regsvr32.exe has values in the registry at:

Any info anyone has to offer will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

GIFS contain a maximum of 216 colors (web safe palette)
PNG and JPG can contain 16 million colors (true color palette),
When you say the colors are "way off" we don't know what you mean.

This is a thread that discusses your problem.

Your app is probably calling for 32-bit color, and XP Mode with
integration features doesn't support that. There's 3 ways around it.
one, is to enable remote desktop in XP Mode and connect to the VM with
remote desktop.
2nd is to turn off the integration features and then you can set the XP

and 3rd, if you app supports 24-bit color, there's a registry hack to do
it. It's in the thread I posted above.

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.
