Weird Color Noise in CC

What is causing the colored noise in the above image? This appears before I do any editing. When I import the image from Lightroom 5.
I turn on the Gamut Warning, and it disappears. D'uh, I know. But then, obviously, the gray from the Gamut Warning occupies parts of the image.
I open the image as a 16 bit PSD.
Any suggestions? Thank you.

While I tend to agree with Jeff that an extreme adjustment or something like that has left you with enhancement of color differences between adjacent small areas of the image, there's no way anyone can really comment meaningfully on what you're seeing without access to your original raw data. Do you have an image file you can share online?
Retrace your steps, and start with looking carefully the preview when you're developing the image... Do you see the problem there?
Did you enhance the shadow areas of the image extremely? There's only so much you can dig out of the shadows, even with the most modern cameras.

Color noise in highlights in 16 bit comp (DSLR footage)

Hi,
I'm trying out a workflow to get the most out of my DSLR footage and it results in some weird color noise (not sure what to call it) as shown in the picture.
Here's the workflow I'm using: https://vimeo.com/39979623
Basically, I import the DSLR footage into a 16 bit project, apply Red Giant Denoiser and dither (noise). At this stage the footage looks fine.
I then render using Avid DNxHD as video codec and change colors to trillions. If I play that exported footage in VLC, there is no noise.
I re-import that footage into AE (same or new project in 16 bit) and now the highlights have gone weird and it also persists when I render the comp to h264. If I change it to a 8 bit project, that problem disappears.
Could anyone explain what's happening?
Thanks!
I'm using CS6.

LaserJet CP1025NW Color Printer - Weird cranking noise when printing or rotating carousel

Just out the package today, the first time turning on the printer, during all print jobs and when rotating the cartridges, the carousel is making a weird cranking noise coming from the left side of the printer. I understand that this printer does make the winding/power-up sound, but this cranking noise is in addition to the normal sound.
I find this odd because I use the exact same printer at work and it does not make this noise and I am afraid that it is a faulty mechanism within the printer.
I have checked to make sure that I removed all packaging from inside the printer and removed all cartridges and replaced them. I would think that all pieces that need to be removed would be bright orange. Also, the print jobs are not affected by the cranking noise.
Does anyone else have this problem?

Hi saidthegirl
I understand the printer is noisy but will print.
I have included the document for setting up the printer, to take a look at where all the packing material is located.

If the printer is making unusual noise and you are using the toner that shipped with the printer then I would recommend to call HP Tech Support for further assistance to see what other options are available for you.

Macbook pro early 2011 freezes, slow, weird fan noise + trackpad jumping around

Hi guys, see the Etrecheck report below. My 13' Macbook pro (early 2011) has been very slow for the last few months, the fan makes a weird blowing noise (several fellow students have looked around what the **** that noise was when it started doing it), and recently started freezing when opening iTunes, OpenOffice and even Firefox.
OH AND my trackpad has jumping around without me even touching it.
What do you guys think? What's the problem, what can I do? IF I take it in how much do you think it might cost?

I did as you suggested and it it's definitely not freezing as much, though a little bit still. Thanks though!
Trackpad is also still jumping around, but I figured that might have to be replaced anyways.
Anything else you recommend that I could / should do?

Everytime my phone vibrates it makes this loud noise from inside that sounds like a weird cracking noise or something help!!

Okay so I noticed a week or two ago that there was something lose on the inside of my iPhone 5s and ever since then when my phone vibrates sometimes there is this weird noise. It sounds almost like a cracking noise from the inside or a weird electrical noise. I think something is wrong with the vibrating part. Does anyone know if this is fixable or what it is?

Hello ashliz17,
After reviewing your post, it sounds like the phone makes a cracking noise when it vibrates. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.

Second monitor displays weird colors

Hi there,
Yesterday I bought a Displayport to HDMI adapter (Mini DisplayPort Male - HDMI female) for my MacBook Pro 15" (Late 2011 version). I use this to connect my MacBook Pro to my Philips 32" television. Everything has been set up (I've adjusted the resolution of the TV to 1080p and put my refresh rate to 50 hz since my TV doesn't support 60 hz). But once in every 5 - 15 minutes or so, my screen turns green for a brief second and suddenly my background or whatever is on my second monitor turns in to weird colors. Sometimes it takes about 2 or 3 seconds and it switches back to how it normally was, but sometimes it takes way longer. I don't mirror my screen, I use it as a second display. But I can't figure out why the screen it switching betweens there colors and don't know how to fix it. I've looked it up on the internet, but couldn't find anything useful. So I hope you guys could help me with this.
Thanks in advance.

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!

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.

IPad Air running 8.2 - one of the two cameras shows very weird colors.

This started a couple weeks ago. The outward camera view shows very weird colors. I have looked on line for a solution and found a reference that said the 'live camera filter is stilled turned on' but I don't think live filters exist any more. ive tried everything I can think of. Attached is a screen shot when using the camera.
TIA

Try the standard troubleshooting steps in this order:
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds). No data will be lost.
Restore: Connect your device to iTunes on your computer, backup, and then select Restore to Factory.
See here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201252
If none of these work your device may have developed a hardware problem. Contact Apple Support: http://www.apple.com/contact/

ITunes freezes when I connect my iPod/weird clicking noise

Hi, recently I've tried connecting my iPod to my laptop and iTunes would freeze and task manager said it wasn't responding. In addition, when this happened, my iPod would make a weird clicking noise. I noticed this noise before when I had it on shuffle and would skip to a different song just after another song started. Does anyone know what's going on?

Similar problem here:
When I'm playing songs with iTunes and connecting my 3G 20GB iPod, my computer will hang up completely - screen goes dark and I have to reset my PC.
However, when my iTunes is "idle", i.e. not playing a song or doing anything else, connecting and syncing the iPod will work just fine.
I'm using the newest (6.x) Version of iTunes on WinXP SP2 with a 3G iPod 20GB.

Weird clicking noise on my MacBook Air! Please Help!

Hello everyone, I have a 1 month old MacBookAir and I been having the same issue as many people with the weird clicking noise coming from the keyboard.
I tried tapping it under the power buttom and it didnt't work, does anybody have any more ideas?
Thanks so much for the help.

Other users have claimed to have success with giving the laptop a swift smack on the bottom or on the side... I am wondering if this problem is related to a loose audio cable with the internal speaker, resulting in a scrambled signal, producing surges in the speaker. If the computer is under warrenty, you should take it in to have it looked at... If not, You can open the bottom case and check.

TS1382 my ipod classic is making weird ticking noises

My ipod classic keeps turning on and off by itself, and is making weird ticking noises. What do I do!?

The ticking noise is the sound of the hard drive being started up and the stopped. This is normal.
What do you mean by "turning on and off by itself"? Do you mean the ticking noises (which is normal) or do you mean the display turns on and off, or do you mean the music turns on and off?

Adobe Photoshop CC, problem with color noise/pixelation on the monitor display

After downloading Adobe Photoshop CC, my images come in with color noise/pixelation on the monitor display. I've tried checking the color space preferences, but this doesn't help. I didn't have this problem before. Is there anything else I can check? There's no problem with LR, just Photoshop.

My performance settings are: Available RAM 10905 MB/using 7633 MG (70 percent); cache levels 4, history 20, cache tile size 1024K. However, I noticed under Graphics processer settings, it is set on Advanced Drawing Mode - perhaps this should be changed to Normal or Basic Mode? Your help is very much appreciated.

Weird ringing noise when laptop is plugged into AC - HP ENVY 14-2050se Beats Edition Notebook PC

Hi, last month I bought this HP ENVY 14-2050se Beats Edition Notebook from a nearby electronics store and I loved it from first sight. Except a few problems emerged when I first turned it on at home. First, yes I did a full hp recovery factory restore when I got home. It is running Windows 7 Home Premium and I already tried muting the microphone and speakers and it has not solved the problem whatsoever but it only shows up when I have my Envy plugged into AC power, on battery it makes no noises.
The problem is that whenever it is plugged in it makes a weird ringing noise which is very clear and hearable to me and my friends and gives me headaches constantly. The noise is almost identicle to that ringing noise you get in your ears after hearing very loud noises. I tried using my mom's HP ac adapter on my Envy and it still produces the noise so its not the adapter itself im assuming. Also, sometimes when playing music or watching videos on youtube it will hang for a split second or so once every while and make a weird buzzing noise, im assuming that could be normal behavior though and im not as worried about that so much as my other problem.
Any help is greatly appreciated, I just want to enjoy this great laptop!
Sincerely, Lance Shults

Hi, you aren't the only one.
I have a HP Envy, and I have this rining noise as well.
it is odd.
If I had to take a guess (I've been in IT for almost 17 years), I think it might be the power supply for some reason, in the laptop. Not the external supply.
Nearest I can say is it is a fast paced ring/ding.
Is yours similar?

How do I remove color noise?

I have an image saved as a psd file with a high amount of color noise resulting from shooting at a film speed of 800. I have created a layer for a face in the image and a layer for the inverse (the remainder of the image). Can I reduce this noise using a tool in PSE7? I have tried the color noise reduction filter on each layer, but it seems to have no effect despite my playing with the adjustment sliders. The ultimate print of this image will be about 16"x24".

Thanks for this solution... exactly what I am searching for...
many thanks again, cheers
