Washed out background image on Treo Pro

Hi:
When I set my background image on my today screen (check the box in settings, browse to image - use 320x320 resolution) I get a "washed out" version of the image regardless of its original color, tone or intensity. Images from the preinstalled themes are fine - vibrant and clear - but the user set images are very light (almost like a 50 percent transparency in Photoshop for example). I have tried both .jpg format and .png. Backlight settings do not cure this either.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Hi Again:
Upon further investigation, I have discovered that the options for setting background and transparency levels is found through the pictures and videos explorer not the file explorer.
As suggested I have set the transparency to 0 and the image (Crab Nebula through the Hubble space telescope) is as bright and vibrant as it should be.
Thanks again for the direction - it's much appreciated.

Adjusting brightness without washing out an image

I'm using a ColorTransform to adjust the brightness of an image, but it's also causing it to look faded and washed out as I increase the brightness, even by just a small amount.
Is there a way to adjust brightness without getting this effect, or something that can be done to offset it?
(edit: using Actionscript 3.0, require code solution, not something in Flash IDE)

Hi and welcome to the forums....
I'm certain you can't do that in Aperture... Aperture is a pro photo management system with some excellent image adjustment features. But for what you describe you will need Photoshop or other such application.

Washed out backgrounds?

Took some pictures this weekend outside and the backgrounds are washed out. How do I edit that in Photoshop CS5 or Lightroom 3? I am still trying to learn these two programs. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Okay. I am at work right now, but when I get home tonight I will try to post one.
Thanks!

Is There A Way Of Filtering Out Background Hiss Using Quicktime Pro ?

Hello Every one!
I would like to remove hiss from my video recordings using Quicktime Pro. Is there a way to do this? I have Windows version.
Thank you.

You might try Audacity:

to work on the audio track (you'll have to export the track, work on it, and bring it back into the video). Audacity has a noise removal tool as well as EQ capabilities.

Slideshow-Exported PDF is a bit washed out

I exported my first Slideshow to a PDF file.
Looking at the PDF using the Mac Preview program the images were a bit washed out compared to the images within lightroom.
So I tried exporting some of the images to the desktop and comparing them to the images within LR and the PDF. The exported images were as vibrant as within LR. And the PDF file still looked washed out compared with them. I even downloaded the Adobe Reader and the slideshow PDF looked washed out on it.
My conclusion is that this .PDF file has images more washed out than they ought to be.
I have never created a PDF file before. Is washing out of images normal? Or am I doing someting wrong?
Thanks

I'll try that out tomorrow and see what I find out.
Thanks. Too bad this Helpful button still seems broken

HP Officejet Pro 8100 - Washed out blacks in images / Dark blacks in text prints???

Here is my system: iMac Maverics OS, HP Officejet Pro 8100, Photoshop, Pages & Genuine inks.
I print a text page (Black and various colours) from Pages/Text Edit or any other text program and the colours are deeply saturated, blacks are black and I'm totally happy.
I print the exact same text, recreated in Photoshop, everything is washed out. Blacks are greyish, colours are pastel & it looks like it's been printed at 50% opacity.
I saved my Photoshop text mock up as a .Jpg .TIF .BMP and tried printing them in Pages & Mac Preview - same washed out results as when I print direct from inside Photoshop.
All my software is genuine, drivers are up to date. It's like HP use one process to print text and a whole other process to print images, **bleep** is going on???
Please advise on how to fix, if anyone else is having or has had similar issues.....

Hello @pA8100 , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you're experiencing Photoshop colour issues. I would like to help.
It is possible you need to adjust the colour settings in Photoshop from RGB to CKMY.
I would recommend utilizing this article on How to Convert RGB to CMYK in Photoshop.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

4K TV not recognized correctly: MacBook Pro Mid2014 15" reports a Samsung UE40HU6900 4K TV as 8K (7680x4320). This results in an ugly, washed out image half the size it should be. Is there a fix for this? (OSX 10.10.1)

MacBook Pro Mid2014 15" reports a Samsung UE40HU6900 4K TV as 8K (7680x4320).
This results in an ugly, washed out image half the size it should be. If you turn off scaling everything is tiny as 8K are displayed on a 4K screen. To get the actual 4K resolution you have to turn on scaling. Still 8K is transferred to the device, but doubling the data lines makes the picture look washed out and create obscure effects for line borders.
Did anybody encounter this problem before? Is there a fix for this? (OSX 10.10.1)

You have the MacBookPro6,2, the Edsel of Macs. It may be covered by this program:
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010): Intermittent black screen or loss of video
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.
Print the first page of the panic report and bring it with you.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.

Disconnect+reconnect external display = washed out image

hi guys
I need some expert help on this. Using a Dell E178 WFP external display on my 2010 Macbook Pro via mini-DVI-to-VGA adapter. This display has no EDID it seems so I use SwitchResX to create the necessary resolution override (1440x900). SwitchResX has nothing such as daemons or helpers installed on top, so this boils down to graphics drivers.
My problem: When I reboot the machine, the display has the necessary brightness, contrast, and colour balance. If I unplug the display, wait a sec, then plug it back in, the image comes up very bright and washed out, and I can't get a "true" black out of the display.
What this isn't: I have a ColorSync profile, and make sure it is successfullly loaded, i.e. I go through the trouble of opening up system preferences>displays>color to make sure it reloads. This is not a ColorSync problem. It is not the 2.2 vs 1.8 gamma problem either. Ctrl+shift+eject does not fix it. Creating a new colour profile does not fix it either. The usual SMC, permissions, safe boot, etc tricks don't work either.
Apple engineers have sent me a copy of TimingSnoop but were baffled by the display having a "fake" EDID (when run without SwitchResX TS detects no EDID at all). Since I refused to roll back my entire system to 10.6.4 or uninstall SwitchResX (it does not interfere??) they closed the bug stating "insufficient information".
10.6.4 did not have this problem, and my hardware is perfectly fine.
Rolling back the graphics to 10.6.4 fixes this issue (but creates other issues)
I'm looking for information on this. Has anyone had the same happen? Is it confined to sans-EDID displays?
Have googled a lot but I'm running out of search terms... Anything could be of help?
Thanks in advance.

Again, this is not the gamma problem that's fixed by just opening the display preferences and resetting the colour profile.
This seems to be somehow related to the display's EDID and the video adapter (Nvidia) not resetting properly when first unplugged and then plugged back in. My support request with Apple is more than a year old in total now and replies have been trickling but all of them add little (if anything at all) to a fix.
My particular problem is finding these "a lot of" people who are experiencing this problem. Everyone I've seen so far talks about the gamma/colours problem, never about the brightness and reboot. So yours is the first instance of someone having exactly the same problem. Hopefully we can find more people? Do you know where I should be looking?
Another idea I've had is to possibly talk to the OSX86 community? If Apple are not interesting in issuing a fix for this, maybe someone else has done some work? After reviewing Apple's code (at least that part which is made public) I'm pretty convinced this is in Nvidia's territory, and that gives me very little hope..
I'm interested to know if this has been fixed on Lion at all..? Ideas?

MacBook Pro starts off in blue washed out tint then goes to grey screen

So I took out the stock HDD and replace it with a SSD and the laptop with working better then ever. Then later on at night I used the thunderbolt plug to connect it to a TV. After about 5 min the computer froze so I restarted it. But now when it reboots the screen has a blue washed out look. It won't open into OS X, instead the apple logo comes then the screen turns into a solid grey. It recognizes the SSD when I hold option but won't open it up. So I put the HDD back in and it does the same thing.
My MacBook Pro is an early 2011 15 inch with anti glare display
I'm pretty sure it was running on Mountain Lion because I didn't get a chance to upgrade to Mavericks yet.
The SSD is a 960 Crucial SSD.
I am past warranty with Apple Care so is there anything I can do to fix this?

Colour washed out when using image processor in Bridge CS6

Hi there
I hope somebody can help please?!
I am editing raw files in Camera Raw 8.2, then using image processor through Bridge CS6 to save them as both jpegs and tiffs.
I am finding the colour on the saved files is coming out a little washed out and faded.
If I open them individually and save them in PS6 as jpeg and tiffs, the colour remains vibrant and true to the original raw file.
I have thousands of these files to go through and don't have time to open each one individually in this way so I am desperate to automate this process while still retaining the great colour in the original shots.
Can anyone tell me why the shots are coming out this way and help offer a solution for me please?
Any advice would be massively appreciated!
Many thanks
Benny P

Hi,
Do you have Include ICC Profile checked at the bottom of the Image Processor dialog?

Color washed out when using image processor in Bridge CC

Hi,
When I use the image processor - Tool>PhotoShopS>Image Processor, via bridge my colors appear wrong and washed out.
When i choose "Include ICC profile" in the process dialog it has no effect - the colors are still wrong.
In PhotoShop my profile is set to ProPhoto RGS, can that be the reason?
When I save as JPG from Photoshop the colors are correct.
any suggestions?

Home page background photo not displaying after changing out the image

I decided to edit the photo that was my background image for my desktop home page. Now it doesn't load when I access the site from my mobile or iPad even though it is there and displays fine from my desktop.
I have a mobile version of my site with a link to the desktop version included in my navigation menu. I don't have a tablet version of my site.
Any ideas what might be causing this? I'm stumped.

Hey, Thanks Brad. It doesn't seem to be timing out (i.e there is no "processing" indicator in the browser the way it looks if something is trying to load). It gets all settled in and just never brings up the photo. It's a little reluctant to do so on the desktop, but after a half a second it goes ahead and puts it on there.
Additionally, not sure if this is related,... but the text I have on the home page jumps about and is not a mirror image of what I see on the Muse design side. I had to put the text boxes on top of each other to get them to into place when I publish to desktop. They kept trying to go on top of the plane for some reason even though I had them placed just so on the design side. But this started happening before I replaced the image so maybe it's unrelated. Idk
One thing, I wonder: I thought Muse did it automatically, but do I maybe need to optimize the photo for web? Outside of that, the only other thing I can think of to do is to delete the current home page and start fresh. But I'm afraid to do that. I don't know how to do that.
Thanks so much for your help. I will PM a link fyi.

Why are my images so washed out in pages compared to how they look in Photoshop?

I am new to Pages. I have some beautiful .jpeg CMYK files I am importing into a Pages template, and they look completely washed out in pages compared to how they look in Photoshop. Is this just a preview mode or will they look this bad if I print the file at a print on demand site like HP Magcloud?
Thanks!
O

Hmmmmm...
Well, I'm not sure about what my color management is set to in photoshop, but its color LCD for the mac in system preferences. As the printer is a print on demand site its not so easy to run tests. The thing is, they want the images as a PDF, but I am loosing quality pringing it into pages, would it be different if i created the PDF directly from photoshop (is that even possible?)
paper options are:
60#, 80# or 100# matte text stock options with Saddle Stitch Binding
80# premium cover stock, 80# matte text stock with Perfect Binding
the site says this:
If you are creating your PDF in a different program like Microsoft Word or Publisher, or Apple Pages, you’ll want to save your images based on whether they were CMYK or RGB to begin with. If they were CMYK to begin with, they should be saved as CMYK. If they were RGB to begin with, saving them with an sRGB colorspace will give you the best output.
I already changed them in photoshop from RGB to CMYK, is it too late to change back? where is the sRGB option anyway?
Thanks,
O

Washed-out images in Lightroom 2.4

Beginner's question-Help, please. Images taken in Nikon D700 show perfect lighting in camera's LCD. Now, when imported into Lightroom 2.4, lighting becomes washed out.
Help, please!

Most probably there is a develop preset applied on import.
In the Import Dialog, on the right side, in the panel <Apply during Import> select <None> for "Develop Settings".
If you don't see this you have to expand the Import Dialog by clicking on the small triangle on the bottom left.
