Where is "float window above other apps" in digital color meter ?

Where is the option to Float window above other apps in digital color meter (osx 10.8.2) ?

It's difficult to provide help without knowing your level of color-management expertise, but I think you've helped us some with that in post number 2.
Color management is basically this:  Images and devices have certain color characteristics, and these are described by color profiles, sometimes also called color spaces.
1.  You should not need to use the Proof Setup at all to view your images on your monitor.  When things are set up properly Photoshop shows you accurate color without your choosing View - Proof Colors.
2.  A color-managed application like Photoshop will try to show you accurate color on your display by interpreting both the image profile and your monitor profile and transforming the colors accordingly.  BY DEFINITION this will look different than other applications which don't do color-management as these just pump the image RGB values directly out to the display. 
Thus:
If your monitor profile indicates your monitor has a wide gamut, images with embedded profiles may appear less saturated inside Photoshop than from non-color-managed apps.
If you view images that have an embedded wide gamut profile (such as Adobe RGB 1998 or ProPhoto RGB), Photoshop and other color-managed applications will interpret that profile and the colors will likely appear more saturated in Photoshop than in a non-color-managed application.
It sounds as though the first case applies in your case here.
You can check to see what monitor profile is associated with your monitor through OS settings.  I'm thinking, based on the caption buttons in your screen grab, that you've got Windows XP, but rather than go further with that assumption, I'll ask you to verify it first.

  • Windows 8.1 settings window and other apps automatica​lly minimize/c​annot be selected.

    Whenever I try and change my settings by going through the usual charms menu-> Change PC Settings, the instant the settings window comes up it disappears. I try bringing it up from the taskbar and the same thing happens: it seems to maximize then just disappears. I can't switch to it, only close it. This applies to any app in Windows including Sports, News, etc.
    Thanks in advance!
    I'm running on Windows 8.1 and have a  HP ENVY dv6-7214nr.

    Hi Marhorie4,
    This is the command you should try to enter
    powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register
    $EnvystemRoot\ImmersiveControlPanel\AppxManifest.x​m
    The restore point was  safety precaution, so it something when wrong you would have a good restore point to return to. As you have one that was before the issue started, I would keep and use that one.
    Here is a link to a Window.microsoft.com answer to assist you.  Cannot use Windows 8 apps or get to PC Settings!
    If the issue remains, I would do a   Refresh Your PC to Resolve Problems (Windows 8).  This will reinstall the original OS.
    Now try doing your update again.
    Updating Windows 8 to 8.1
    If this has not helped I would do a full factory recovery.  Here is a link to System Recovery / Backup / Restore.  There are links on the page to guide you through doing a recovery and restoring your files if you opted to do the backup.

  • Setting Floating Windows for Apps Such As Safari or DVD Player.

    Is there a way to have a window in Safari, DVD Player or any other application be floating above other app windows? By this I mean I wish to have a window of Youtube, Netflix or a DVD Player movie float above all other windows while I work in other applications such as Word, Logic or Ableton Live.
    It would be great if I could watch a movie or youtube video without the window going behind my other windows whilst I work. Right now I have to just resize multiple windows to view the media but that eliminates valuable screen real estate in my work applications.
    Is there a hot key/shortcut to a window to make it float? A System Preference? Help me out friends.

    I believe afloat does just what you want

  • How do I change position of video floating window in IDCS5 PDF export?

    I have created an interactive document in InDesign CS5 (for Mac) that includes some movies. The page size is 1280 x 800 and the H264.mov files are 960 x 540 and 800x600. I place the movie in the center of the page at 100% size (without resizing either the movie object or the frame). The poster is set to None to keep it blank. In the PDF options, the Play Video in Floating Window box is checked, with the size set to 1x and the Position is set to Center by default but it is grayed out, with no option to change it.
    When I export the document to PDF (Interactive) with both View and Layout set to Default and Buttons and Media set to Include All, the resulting PDF file opens the movie window in the upper right corner of the PDF document window. It does this whether viewing in Acrobat X Pro (10.1.2) or Acrobat Reader (9.5.0). I've tried opening the file on other computers and have the same issue. I've also created the same document in IDCS5.5 with the same outcome.
    I'd like the movie to open in the center of the PDF document window. I've made other documents where it does this, but for the life of me can't figure out what I'm doing differently to cause the floating movie window to open in the upper right corner of the PDF document.
    Any insight you could provide would be very helpful.
    Thanks,
    John

    Thanks for your reply, Steve. I, too, believe there is a bug, but it's not in InDesign CS5, as I mentioned in my post, I was able to replicate the problem by opening the file in CS5.5 and exporting it to an interactive PDF. The movie again opens in the upper right corner.
    However, if I create a NEW page in the document and place the same movie. it opens in the PDF reader centered in the page. I guess I could recreate the document if this is the only fix, but I thought that I may be doing something wrong, which apparently is not the case.

    "If you have placed the video in InDesign in it's own frame, should you not leave this box unchecked?"
    Rik, I didn't actually place the movie into a new frame. What I meant to say was that once the movie was placed into the document, I did not resize it. I found that if I don't have the PDF viewer open the movie in a flaoting window, the movie quality suffers if the PDF viewer opens in a larger size than the original InDesign page size (which can happen depending on how the user's PDF viewer is configured). However, the movie plays and views perfectly if it is in a floating window.

  • Invoking other apps with the custom URL schemes from AIR apps ?

    Hi ,

    Could you share an example of what he has done or refer me to them if it’s possible?

    Yes, you need to put several entries into info.plist. Search for "CFBundleURLTypes" in the iPhone OS Programming Guide.

  • IPhoto prints photos in grayscale. Other apps print them in color.

    If I print photos from iPhoto to a color printer (HP Photosmart 3300), they print as grayscale. They show as color in the print dialogs and in print preview, but they physically print as grayscale. If I print the same photos using Photoshop or Safari (for example) they correctly print in color. The photos have an RGB profile and the printer seems to have the right colorsync setup (printer setup utility, then printer utility to check). As I said, other apps print in color fine; only iPhoto doesn't.
    Any suggestions please?

  • I am having problems with migration assistant (windows pc to Mac 2011) When I get to the 'Quit other applications' box and click continue, nothing happens. There are no other apps running - any ideas, please?

    I am having probems with migration assistant. Trying to transfer data from a windows laptop to iMac 2011. It was working fine when I did the set-up yesterday, but it was going to take hours to transfer some videos so I quit the process with the intention of doing it again at a later stage. However today I find that everytime I get to the 'Quit other applications' box on the Mac and click 'continue', nothing happens. Have checked mission control and confirmed no other apps running. Tried several times with the same result every time. Migration Assistant running on my laptop with the 'Waiting for mac to connect' box displayed. Mac is connected to wi-fi OK as able to use Safari and access internet. Any ideas, please?

    Thanks for your suggestions. Have managed to get Migration Assistant working but now have a new problem, i.e. where does it save the transferred files?!! Searched a few forums and it seems it saves it under your old username, or suchlike. Anyway I tried logging on as a new user using my old user name but there were only a handful of files there, couldn't locate the majority of stuff from my old laptop. Anyway I don't intend to go through any more hoops with MA - will just save the important stuff to an external drive and transfer it that way. Not impressed with MA at all. I thought it was supposed to be a user-friendly tool to simplify the transfer from pc to Mac - not my experience, I'm afraid!

  • Dreamweaver CC files window over all other apps.

    I have a 2 screen setup with a custom palette layout which is part of my long standing workflow, and I am working on a Mac.
    On my right screen i tend to have the "files" window (why is this a window and not a palette?) fairly big and centred as this in one of the mosted used windows for me.
    On my left screen is where I right my code. So I then decide to preview my creation, and either cmd-tab to browser of choice or even click on Firefox in the dock and switch to the browser.
    Only to be left with the file window left in the middle of the screen OVER the active browser! You can't get around it. Even if you click ont he browser window it stays put.
    I have checked a few other apps to see if there is any others and it remains over the top of;
    Apple mail
    Firefox
    Adobe Illustrator (but not photoshop or fireworks)
    Safari
    Finder
    A total nightmare. In my opinion the files window has been broken for at least the last 3 version. Ever since it stopped being a palette and became a window.
    Anyone else having this?

    I'm also having this issue and it's annoying to say the least. I run dual monitors and have my email open on my secondary monitor along with my files window. In previous versions switching from Dreamweaver to Mail wouldn't have any issues, Mail would just move itself to the top. Now, when I switch to Mail, the files window stays overtop. This pretty much means I cannot look at an email that has client changes while looking at my Dreamweaver page since the files window remains overtop of Mail.
    This isn't just a matter of changing how you work, it's a fundamental flaw. When you switch applications, the active application should always appear over any other application. It would be nice to have a fix for this so that Dreamweaver behaves like any other application running on the OS.
    I also occasionally work on another computer with a single monitor. I'm constently having to close and open the files window so that I can work on my file. This is even within Dreamweaver. I click to open a file in the files window, it opens fine but remains behing the files window requireing you to close the files window.

  • ITunes 8 blocks other apps' windows

    iTunes often will not allow itself to go "behind" any other app's windows.
    You click any other app's window (or taskbar entry) to bring that app to the front, but that app instead remains "behind" iTunes' window!
    This happens no matter what the other app is (Windows Explorer, IE, Firefox, whatever). The fault is definitely iTunes'.
    One workaround is to minimize iTunes. Also, sometimes quitting iTunes and restarting it stops the problem.
    (Using Windows XP Pro SP3.)
    Anybody seen this or have thoughts on it?

    If you use Software Update it will designate the 10.7.1 specific for your model, and may miss somethings.  It is better to download the update straight off Apple's website.  Mind you, unless you know your software is not compatible with 10.7.2 or later, I recommend at minimum upgrading to 10.7.3.  That's where I found to be my happy medium with.   Run repair permisssion with Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility when you are finished.  If you have any third party cache cleaning software remove it.   Especially remove MacKeeper if that got installed using these directions since it has given people more headaches than any.  The only utility you need is a backup utility.   And periodically let the machine stay awake running screen saver instead of energy saver.  This will keep the logfiles clean.  The combo updates are better than the delta updates.  Combo updates do multiple updates at once.

  • One of my app tabs for some reason opened in a new window; how do I get it back w/other app tabs on original window?

    I have 5 frequently-used websites on app tabs on my Firefox browser window. I've had these since I first saw the update about app tabs, and I have never before had a problem with it.
    Today, I was working in one tab, and realized I needed to check something on the website at another app tab. I have done that sort of thing many times. But for some reason today, when I clicked on that other app tab, there seemed to be a long wait like it was working hard to make the switch, then suddenly a new Mozilla Firefox window opened with the only tab being the "another app tab" that I had clicked on.
    That particular app tab is now missing from my original browser window.
    I must've clicked something by accident or hit another key while I was clicking with the mouse on the app tab that I wanted to look at. I have no idea why it opened in its own window and disappeared from my app tabs on the original window.
    How do I get that app tab back with the others on the original browser window? Is there any way other than simply starting over and re-pinning that site as an app tab?
    If I have to re-pin it on the original window, is there a way to make that app tab the 1st in sequence the way it was before it opened in its own window? It is my most-commonly-used app tab, so I'd really like it to be the first in line, so to speak.
    Thanks.

    Make sure that you do not drag a tab in the browser window.<br />
    Firefox 3.5 versions and later have a feature called tear-off tabs.<br />
    You can detach a tab from the current window and open it in a new window by dragging a tab in the browser window.<br />
    You can drag that tab back to the tab bar in the original window to undo that detaching.<br />

    Hi,
    don´t be worry, this would not be a problem.
    You have to take the same Aplle ID on both devices, then you can sync them via iTunes by using all universal apps on each device, create playlists, albums and all the things you need and sync it, no problem...

  • Had to erase and re-install. No longer can find Garageband and other apps. Where can I re-doanload these?

    I have had this mac for years. It's one of the very first Macbook Pro models with Intel processor.
    It originally came with OS X, and I have the install disk here. I upgraded to Snow Leopard when it came out.
    Recently my disk failed and I had to Erase it and do a complete re-install. I assumed Garageband, and iMovie and a few other apps I used semi-regularly would be in the Optional Installs. I started from scratch, installed OS X and then installed Snow Leopard on top of it, installing the "Optional Installs" each time.
    No copy of Garageband and these other useful apps appeared.
    I can not download Garageband from the Apple site because each time I do it claims I need to have Garageband already installed. But since my complete reinstall did not install those, I'm stuck without these apps I once had.
    How can I get these re-installed properly like they once were?
    I just want my Macbook Pro back to where it was earlier this week before the disk failed.

    From what I can see, unless you're doing things with old versions of Xcode on a Mac (in which case, the solution seems to be to upgrade to the latest version), this seems to e an iTunes issue.
    Accepting that it works fine with another iPad, I suggest trying the following:
    1. Restart the non-working iPad
    2. If that doesn't work, reinstall iTunes. If you're on a Windows PC, I suggest using Control Panel to uninstall all the Apple apps, restarting the PC, and doing a fresh install. If you're using a Mac, a repair permissions might help too.
    iTunes 10.3 is now available, and that may make a difference.
