Weird Color Issue in Safari.

If I use a second monitor attached to my MBPro (its a Viewsonic 2230) I see these strange artifacts in Safari. A band of the safari window turns a little dark. If I scroll up or down I can 'wipe' it away but it'll come back.
It ONLY happens in the safari window (ie it doesnt cover the entire screen)
It ONLY happens when the second monitor is attached
It happens in both the laptop screen and the second monitor when attached.
If I detach the monitor the color disappears. Anyone got any ideas what's causing this?
I'm looking at http://www.surfline.com in case its site related.

Sorry - please ignore - posted in wrong forum.

Color issues in Safari

Hello, I've just uploaded my first Muse site: www.michaelphipps.net
It worked well and looks perfect in Firefox on my computer (I haven't checked IE yet). In Safari, some of the rollover images are showing as a different color than the background. See the windows with the flags that say "Gallery", etc. You'll notice a small rectangle box around them where the orange (or green on other pages) is darker than the background. I looked on another computer with an older version of Safari and the problem is not there.
I did some research and discovered that Safari pays attention to color profiles, but other browsers do not. I checked my background images and compared them to my rollover images. Different profiles? Yes! So I fixed that and the problem remained. I've been trying test after test for hours and discovered something strange. I saved the background image and placed it in the site with Muse. I cropped that same image in Photoshop and placed it on the other image in Muse. A quick check in Safari shows that the color issue is resolved- the two images are the same color. I cropped the image even smaller and the same test yielded good results- the colors of the two images are the same. I cropped it again to 221 by 61 pixels and tried it again. The problem is back! According to my tests, the only difference is the size of the image. So either Photoshop is saving the smaller image differently, or Muse is rendering it differently. Why? And how would I stop it?
Thanks for your help!

Just a thought - Musing [pardon pun]
What file format are you using? ,jpg? .psd? .png?
Is Bridge in the workflow? Is Camera Raw in the workflow? Is Save For Web in the workflow? Is Lightroom in the workflow. << any of them have the posibility of being the cause of your color mismatching issue.
I use Lighroom a LOT, Thus I send photos from there to Photoshop and back. So - I have the color profile in PS set to ProPhotoRGB most of the time.
Even though I have the 'always ask' about profile mismatches enabled I still have occasional issues with photos leaving PS with strange colors - usually because I'm impatient and not paying attention.
My suggestion [what I would try] >>
Be sure the PS used profile is set to RGB:
Then I would open ALL my images in PS and Convert them all to RGB

Weird screen issues with safari

Hi, I just got a refurbished 15" macbook pro...not retina, but I believe it's a 2012 model. I'm experiencing a couple weird issues with it. So far, they seem to be exclusive to Safari, but I'm not sure yet. Haven't been able to recreate the same problems in Chrome or other programs. The problems are:
1) When filling text into a blank or box...as in a google search, or typing a facebook message, the text I am typing will often disappear or be invisible until i move the cursur to someplace else...then the text will show up. Words at a time can be invisible. Like I said, so far, I'm only noticing this in Safari, not Chrome, but I'll have to test with Chrome some more to know for sure.
2) Sometimes portion of a page will be misplaced on the screen. For example, if I'm on Safari, and reading a news story, the left side of the page will look normal, and the right side of the page will look normal, but they won't match in the middle....I'll be seeing text from the beginning of the article one the left side, but from the end on the right side as though only part of the page is able to scroll. Again, this is only in Safari so far.
Both these issues (which I assume are related) have been happening since the first day I got the computer last week and it hasn't been dropped or had anything spilled on it or anything. I'm well within the warranty period, but this problem may be hard to recreate immediately if I bring it in to a store, so I want to check here first and see if anybody has any ideas.
I'm hoping this is a simple known bug with Safari that will eventually be fixed and not a problem with my new computer. It is enough to have me second guessing my decision to go with a refurbished model, but I'm probably just paranoid. I'd appreciate any info that anyone has. Thanks!!!

I could suggest a reset, but I don't believe that will do much good.
First, I would contact your local Apple Store, should you be near one, and see if the Genius Bar can solve the problem quickly.
Second, if they require repairs, you can use their expertise; or, you can use iPod Juice - a business that's more competitive. The latter is where I had my repairs done; email them for fees and services.

Weird color issues and Kernel panic!

Okay, so last night I was running tech tool maintenence, and I had repair on. So, it finished scanning my startup volume (I was on my eDrive) and then I shut down and restarted. Now, it tried to start from my startup volume (tiger 4.7, with latest updates) and it says you need to restart your computer (which means there is a kernel panic, am I right?) I try safe mode to no avail, I even reset the PMU and reset the PRAM (but I didnt hear the starup noise again). So, I put in my backup HD, and it starts up, but wait! Now the video is horribly wrong! It is all in TERRIBLE quality and in mostly only greys, I mean it looks like a 4 mb vram video card, there are very few pixels of color( there are some intermitedly) and there is terrible ghosting, and I can barely read anything. so, I checked my display, and universal access settings, and fooled around with those, and nothing happened. So, now I try and start from my eDriveand it start, but now it has the same horrible color problem as my other drive. Oh boy, this is a new computer, and I already have a kernel pnic, and a video problem, what can I do? Thanks for any help. Matthew. I have a sawtooth, a radeon 9200 flashed video card, and the latest tiger.

Since it references com.apple.iokit.IOFireWireFamily, I suspect that some FW device is causing the panic. Disconnect all of them and see if that stops the problem. As for general KP stuff, start with http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html

Weird Color Issue

Anyone know how to fix this?

Hi GiggaTigga,
just as kdluvbug said, 16bit-->32nit did the trick for me as well.
As a Thinkpad (IBM/Lenovo) user, just remember that you can use the Presentation/Display Scheme-button (Fn+F7 on your Thinkpad), then "Manage Schemas", select "My normal Settings" and click "Capture...".
This captures your current screen settings and saves it as "Normal". Somehow (I guess by me...) my "Normal settings" must have been set to 16bits, and anytime I switched between dual screen and back to "Normal" (via Fn+F7), the problem with iTunes pink reappeared. Setting my display to 32bits and then capturing my settings did the trick!
best regards,

Color issues

Hi, I recently installed Creative Suite Web Premium, and have
weird color issues. If I open a jpeg in fireworks it looks correct,
but if I open it PhotoShop CS3 or Windows Photo Gallery the colors
look REALLY bright, not even close.
Any Ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks

In Photoshop, try turning off View > Proof Colors.
If that doesn't work, try Edit > Assign Profile and choose
"Don't Color Manage This Document."
If that doesn't work, try Edit > Color Settings and set
the "Settings" to "Monitor RGB."

After update, iTunes faces color issue

Hello,
I recently updated my iTunes to the newer version (9.2 i believe) and my artwork + menu highlights are facing this really weird color issue. It's light green and takes away the original color from every single artwork. It's really ugly and I do not like it at all. Please assist me on solving this issue.
I am running Windows Vista / iTunes 9.2
Thank you

New iMac display problem(?) - weird colors and grain

Hello,
I'm a fresh mac user, made the switch this monday (August 27th) when my 24" iMac 2.4GHz C2D arrived. After using it for a while, I noticed a handful of dead pixels, and a semi-bright green stuck one. I thought I'd wait and see how disturbing I would find them before raising an issue about them.
Well, yesterday I decided to make my first backup of the whole system to my external 500GB Lacie drive (connected with FW800) using Super Duper!, which to my understanding is a reasonably sturdy and reliable backup application.
During the first backup iteration I started to notice some alterations in color in the top middle part of the display. I then returned to whatever I was doing (not on the mac, I had no other applications running, just Super Duper!), and after a while took another look at the display. The weird colored area had expanded, and the whole display had become somewhat grainy. Also, the backup process had slowed down quite a bit (from ~30MB/s to ~7-8MB/s).
So I cancelled the backup operation and logged out and back in again. No change. Then I restarted the whole system, which booted just fine, with none of the aforementioned problems. Even the second backup iteration went without problems.
Still, it's a new (and with my budget, quite expensive) computer, and if I get this kind of problem during the first week, I cannot continue using it happily in the fear of these problems reoccurring time and again.
I took a couple of pictures of this, one during and one after the problem. The quality of these are quite lousy, they're taken with my Nokia 9500 Communicator.
During the problem:
http://iki.fi/aita/imac/01notok.jpg
After rebooting:
http://iki.fi/aita/imac/02_ok.jpg
The images are taken in the same light conditions, but from slightly different viewing points. Note: The first image does not present reflections, it's how the screen looked (actually, in real life it looked somewhat worse)
What do you think?
Could this be a driver related issue or have I received bad hardware?
My drivers and Apple software should be up to date (at least OS X informs me that everything is, and I haven't found newer graphics drivers anywhere).
If anyone has had the same or related problems or know how I should proceed with this matter, I would be grateful.
Thank you in advance!

A few people, myself included, have experienced the same thing. Check these threads: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1082181&tstart=15
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1100912&tstart=30

So far the only fix suggested has been to call apple and get a replacement. I'm still.....still waiting for mine to make it slowly across the ocean from China, so I don't know how the new one is working. I'd call Apple and request a new one.

Any temporary solutions to the washed out colors issue?

**Note: I posted this in the Boot Camp forum, but I received no response. So, I'll give this forum a try.**
I have a question about Windows XP and washed out colors on the display. I hear that there are some display driver issues with the new unibody MacBook Pros when using either XP or Vista on a Boot Camp partition. Just to be clear, when I say "washed out colors", I mean to say that the colors have a blue-ish, faded look to them. I know that this issue lies with the type of color gamma (or whatever it's called) that Windows uses versus what Mac OS X uses. So, now for the 2 main questions I want to ask:
1)Is there any permanent solution to this weird color problem?
And, if not, then:
2)Is there any temporary solution, such as maybe a program that can apply a color profile for you? For example, I read on another forum that programs like LUT Manager (http://www.exactscan.com/lutmanager/) can help apply an .icc color profile that you have in Mac OS X and apply it to Windows (you can even have it apply it automatically when you start up Windows). Do any of you know something that might be even better?
Also, how do you make an ICC color profile in Mac OS X without actually applying it?

Does anyone even know what I'm talking about? I'll be glad to elaborate further if necessary...

Dual monitor color issue - oversaturated image in CS4

Hi, I wonder if you can help. I found people having similar issues, but never seen an actual answer, so your input would be greatly appreciated.
My set-up:
MacBook Pro Dual Core intel based 15.4 2.6GHz running OS X 10.5.6 - also my primary display
HP LP2475- secondary display
CS4
Both monitors were calibrated using X-rite Eye-one LT (each with a separate profile)
I've tried calibrating each monitor 3 times and still get the proble,
My problem:
Running in dual monitor mode in bridge or safari/firefox- no problems at all: almost consistent colour between both monitors.
When I open the images in Photoshop CS4, they look fine on my MacBook screen, but when I drag them over to the HP the color is grossly oversaturated - especially in the red. What am I doing wrong? (in fact on the HP monitor, the color looks perfect in bridge but super insanely saturated in CS4)
Does anyone have a clue on how I can fix this?
Thanks!

You say your running 10.5.6? Why haven't you updated to 10.5.8?
FWIW, I never had color issues under 10.5.X, however I have since upgrade to 10.6.

Font color issue with inserted HTML content in JTextPane (HTMLEditor)

Hi everyone,
I have a very serious issue with the HTMLEditor I'm developping. This editor is a little bit special since it is intended to edit blocks of HTML content that are loaded when the editor is initialized.
You can in fact decide to keep this loaded HTML content or start a new HTML document from scratch. Alright, now my issue is the following :
When text is loaded, it's properly rendered. I have a functionality which let's you see the HTML code from the HTML document used in the editor, so I can check and see if code is correct, and yes, it's correct.
The problem is that when I try to change the color attribute of some text on my loaded content, nothing happens ! I don't know what's the matter with this bug, I only have it with the color attribute, with every other attribute everything's fine (font, size, etc.)
The funny thing is that, after I change another attribute for loaded content, like font family, then changing color attribute funcionnality starts to work again !
I've also noticed that I don't have any of these problems when I start my HTMLDocument from scratch (when I create a new HTML document and start typing text).
Another weird thing, is that I have a feed-back feature in my editor which reflects attributes for text over which the caret is positionned. For example, if you put caret over red text, the color combo box displays a red value, you know, just like in MS Word. Well, with my loaded content if I have a red text color and I decide to put it in green, the color combo box displays the green value when I click over text for which I have changed color, but in my JTextPane it's still red !! And when I try to see the HTML code generated nothing has changed, everything is still red !
There is something really strange here, this means that when I get the attributes of the loaded text from the HTMLDocument, color appears to be green, but when it gets rendered in the JTextPane it's still red and when it gets anlyzed to produce the corresponding HTML code, these changed attributes are not taken into account.
But the most weird thing above all, is that I don't have this bug everytime, sometimes I start my HTML editor applet and it works fine, and some other times this color issue is bakc there. Is this a known bug for Swing API or not ?
=============
This is more or less my technique :
//I declare a global reference to my HTMLDocument
HTMLDocument _docHTMLDoc;
//Create a JTextPane
JTextPane _tpaEditor = new JTextPane( );
//Set type content to automatically select HTMLEditorKit
_tpaEditor.setContentType("text/html");
//Get a referene to its HTMLEditorKit
HTMLEditorKit _kitHTMLEditor = (HTMLEditorKit) _tpaEditor.getEditorKit( );
//I then have a function to create new documents
void newDocument(){
_docHTMLDoc = (HTMLDocument) _kitHTMLEditor.createDefaultDocument();
_tpaEditor.setDocument(_docHTMLDoc);
   //I do other stuff wich are not important to be shown here
//I then have another function to load content
void loadContent(){
   //I get content from a HashMap I initialized when I started my applet
   String strContent = (String)_mapInitParameters.get("html_content");
   //I set content for my editor
   _tpaEditor.setText(strContent);
//Notice.. I have tried many other ways to load this text : via HTMLEditorKit and its insertHTML method, I
//have also tried to store this content in some reader and make HTMLEditorKit read it... and nothing,
// I always get the bug
//To change color it goes like this :
JComboBox _cboColor = new JComboBox();
//I correctly initialize this combo with colors
//then I do something like this
ActionListener _lst = new ActionListener(){
   public void actionPeformed(ActionEvent e){
      Color colSel = (Color) _cboColor.getSelectedItem();
      MutableAttributeSet mas = new SimpleAttributeSet();
      StyleConstants.setForeground(mas,colSel);
      setAttributeSet(mas);
_cboColor.addActionListener(_lst);
//Set Attributes goes something like this
private void setAttributeSet(javax.swing.text.AttributeSet atrAttributeSet) {
        //Get current 'End' and 'Start' positions
        int intCurrPosStart = _tpaEditor.getSelectionStart();
        int intCurrPosEnd = _tpaEditor.getSelectionEnd();
        if(intCurrPosStart != intCurrPosEnd){
            //Apply attributes to selection
            _docHTMLDoc.setCharacterAttributes(intCurrPosStart,intCurrPosEnd - intCurrPosStart,atrAttributeSet,false);
        else{
            //No selection : apply attributes to further typed text
            MutableAttributeSet atrInputAttributes = _kitHTMLEditor.getInputAttributes();
            atrInputAttributes.addAttributes(atrAttributeSet);

hi, friend!
try this:
void setAttributeToText(JTextPane pane, int start, int end, Color color) {
MutableAttributeSet new_att = new SimpleAttributeSet();
StyleConstants.setForeground(new_att,color);
HTMLDocument doc=(HTMLDocument)pane.getDocument();
doc.setCharacterAttributes(start,end,new_att,false);
It works fine in my Application, hope will work in yours, too.
good luck.

Font color issues in published output

I have just upgraded a couple of older Captivate projects to 5.5.
On some of the slides I have click boxes set to open URLs when clicked, and I have colored the text blue and underlined it so that it looks like a hyperlink.
When viewing the published content I've noticed that my hyperlink text is black, instead of blue.
Has anyone run into this issue before? I've searched the forums and couldn't easily find any references to this issue, although this is not the first time I've seen this problem with my courses.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Brian

Rod, thank you so much for the reply.
The blue is just your standard #0000FF blue, which should be safe with 8 bit quality, and the slides were set to 8 bit quality the last time they were published (and worked) in an older version Captivate. Kind of weird, right?
BUT, being the optimist that I am, I took your suggestion and tried setting one of the slides to 24 bit, and the blue is blue once again rather than black! Very bizarre, but faster than the work around I had found yesterday so I'm probably going to roll with it. I found that changing the slide quality to 24 bit has a minimal impact on the size of the published swf file, so I'm good.
Again, oddly enough, my work around mentioned above involves changing the default caption style to what Captivate calls "default caption capture style". With my caption style set as this my blue is blue, even with the slide quality set at 8 bit. I took one of my older courses and went through changing all of the caption styles. Took me a little while as changing the caption style changes the font, font color, font styles, font sizes, paragraph alignment settings, etc., etc.
And on a side track, I got to thinking after I noticed that changing the caption style seemed to fix the font color issue... My original project used a custom caption style, one that I had not yet "reinstalled" since upgrading to Captivate 5.5. So, I added the custom caption styles, even changed the name of the caption style and tried to reapply it, but no dice.
It seems that, with the slide quality set at 8 bit, if I use a caption style of "default caption style", my blue is black on publish. But, if I use a different caption style, such as "default capture caption style", my blue is blue, even at 8 bit quality.

Color issues in Mountain Lion with Acrobat Pro

I'm not sure I'm in the right forum, but here it goes.
Since upgrading my OS to Mountain Lion, I've noticed when viewing PDFs output from InDesign 5.5 that once in Acrobat Pro the colors look muted and inaccurate. I never saw this in Snow Leopard, hence my posting. Color in InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop CS5.5 seem just fine, it's only when a PDF is viewed in Acrobat that I see this muted color issue.
What I'm concerned with is are these problems when viewing only, or is the PDF color range itself screwed up? I do prepress work and am using an Eizo CG241 display, CS5.5 and Acrobat Pro 10.1.4.
Thanks!

If you are using a calibrated display, the calibration software should set your Displays>Color profile for you. Mine is set to "PA271W 0610738UA 2012-11-14 14-57", which is the name of the profile created by the calibration software. This is where color temperature, gamma, and color corrections are stored (in my case for prepress work at 5000K and 1.8 gamma).
Sorry about this long-winded posting, but I think the last few paragraphs may help make some progress, and I must first digress to get to them...
Control of color profiles embedded in my PDF files is done in Adobe Creative Suite (verson 6 at this time). I use Bridge to synchronize the suite. North American Web/Internet is for files going to the web and I apply sRGB to those files when opening them (if they aren't already sRGB). North American Prepress 2 is for files going to a printing press, and I apply Adobe RGB to files when opening them (if they aren't already Adobe RGB).
Files for the web are saved using Photoshop's "Save for Web..." command, which is set to sRGB and uses the Document Profile for a preview.
Files for print are converted to CMYK and placed in InDesign or Illustrator, where they are saved as PDF/X-1a files, which are CMYK and those values are preserved (not color managed). I should note that before that point, during client proofs, the files are placed as Adobe RGB. They are replaced by CMYK images before making a PDF/X-1a file for the printing press. Either way, the files display correctly and identically (except for any color gamut differences) regardless of color mode or application. (This is color management working correctly.) Except for Acrobat and Reader.
Until CS6, all PDF files would be displayed by Acrobat identically to how they appeared in the originating application (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign). Now all PDF files are darker, more drab, and shifted slightly toward blue.
Here's the weird thing. No matter what I do, even if I start with an sRGB file and save it as a Photoshop PDF using the Save for Web command, so it has been sRGB throughout the process, when the PDF file is viewed in Acrobat or Reader it is darker, more drab, and shifted slightly toward blue.
My first hypothesis was that Acrobat and Reader were applying sRGB to everything. But that appears to be wrong. Now I'm thinking that it's my calibrated display profile that is being ignored. And since it is calibrated for 5000K and 1.8 gamma, that is what explains the big shift in darkness, vividness, and color. It may be that the display profile, not the embedded color profile, is all that matters!
If so, a good experiment would be to calibrate one of your displays for 5000K and 1.8 gamma. If Acrobat and Reader are ignoring the display profile, you should see a very obvious difference in displayed PDF files compared to displays using 6500K and 2.2 gamma (which is just about everyone these days, except for publishing professionals who do exacting print work).
Sheesh!

Are there any Color Adjustments for Safari? Printing with Magenta overlays.

Are there any Color Adjustments for Safari? When printing the iphone at www.apple.com/iphone/compare-iphones/ the phones have a Magenta Overlay on them. Tried Firefox and Chrome with same computer, plus a PC to the same printer. All else prints fine. Have Intel based iMac, updated to 10.7.5, and using Safari 6.0.1.

Monitor gets with weird color

Hi,
It just happened, I was working with Final Cut, I left the laptop while it was exporting a file to convert into a QT . Later I went to the computer and the monitor had a weird color something like decolored (instead of gray it was violet).
Does anybody has an idea about it?

Could be video chipset issues due to overheating, especially since it went away after a short rest. When working with a CPU-intensive program like FCP, you should make sure the case bottom and the exhaust vent under the hinge on the back edge are unobstructed. They are critical to good cooling. If you use the PB with an external monitor with the lid closed, that also runs up temps. You may wish to consider a laptop cooler to help move air across the case bottom.
A Dashboard widget like this:

will let you monitor some temps on your PowerBook.
