White looks yellow/cream

Hello HP and forum-members,
I've got a question about the screen of the HP ENVY TouchSmart 15-j100ed. White is not showed correctly, it looks more like cream/yellow.
I've already updated the chipset and the drivers, re-installed all the drivers and calibrated te colours. What else can I do to make white look like white (ice white)?
Thanks in advance for your reaction,
Kind regards,
Steven

Photoshop CS6 Help Required - Whites are slightly cream

This is the first time I have posted a question on this forum. If I am in the wrong place please accept my apoligies. Thanks.
I have a problem which I have spent days and days trying to solve but without success, I sincerely hope someone can help me.
I am using Photoshop CS6 (Version 13.0.6 x64) on a 27”iMac running OS X Mavericks (Version 10.9.1). My printer is an Epson 3800 (Driver Version 9.17). I am using Epson inks on Epson paper and my screen is correctly calibrated.
I have had the printer for a number of years and its prints are normally excellent. However the following problem has recently occurred and I am not sure what has caused it; but when I print the whites are not pure and are slightly cream.
If I print letting ‘Photoshop Manages Colours’ (which I have always done) and using an original Epson profile for Semigloss paper I get this problem. To be precise when I print a test Grey Scale my 5% and 0% (white end of spectrum) are both the same cream colour and the 100% and 95% (black end of spectrum are also the same shade of black). The profile numbers on the original image on screen reads for the white end 242 and 255 (5% and 0%) and for the black end 0 and 12 (100% and 95%). I have concluded that there is no problem with the image or my screen, as I have mentioned it is correctly calibrated and you can see the difference in all the tones from 100% to 0%.
When I print letting ‘Printer Manages Colours’ though I do not get this problem at all, although obviously the colour balance is not excellent compared to using the proper paper profiles. I have therefore concluded that there is no problem with my printer. It must then be either a profile issue or a software issue.
However I get exactly the same problem if I print on Epson Glossy paper using the appropriate original Epson profile and ‘Photoshop Manages Colours’. I have therefore concluded that it is not a profile issue and it must be a Photoshop issue, unless all the Epson profiles are corrupted which I think is most unlikely.
I appreciate that my logic may be completely wrong and that is why I am posting my plea for help.
Somewhere deep in Photoshop there must be a way to solve this problem. Can you offer any advice or assistance?

Either you aren't selecting the correct profile for the paper and printer, or something is going wrong in the printer driver and it applies color corrections when it should not.
Double check your choice of color profile - if that isn't it, then contact Epson and see if they have updates to fix their driver.

White background appears cream colored

Hi,
If I create a white background (#FFFFFF) or anything white for that matter in elements, it appears cream colored. Every other program on my computer handles white correctly.
I don't think I have done anything to the color profile. What should I do to correct this?
And what program should I trust to tell me the correct colors? My pictures look totally different in Picasa vs. Elements. I'm thinking Picasa is telling me the truth since white looks white.
Thanks

Go to Edit|Color settings. If it's set to 'Always Optimise for Color Screens', try setting 'No Color Management'. Otherwise, set optimisation for the screen. Did that make a difference? If it did, then the issue is most likely with the profile.
The French have a saying, "one doesn't argue about tastes and colours"; in other words, there is no such thing as absolute colour perception. Most of us tend to look for consistency rather than ultimate truth, and consistency is your problem.
If you can, it's always good to calibrate your monitor with a hardware calibrator. I use a Spyder2Express. With a calibrated screen, I see no difference between images in different programs (including PSE 6), provided that those programs recognise and use monitor profiles of course.
Hope this helps.

RGB White showing as Grey.

When I go to Overprint Preview: I get - 'The transparency blending space is set to RGB. Oveprint Preview will only preview overprinting that involves spot colors.'
My Colour settings I currently have:
Custom
RGM: Monitor RGB - Display
CMYK: ColorSync CMYK - Generic CMYK Profile
Color Management Policies:
RGB: Off
CMYK: Off
In my overprint preview it shows perfectly like this:
But when I export to pdf I the white is washed out and I get this dirty grey:
Anyone know how to fix this? I do not want to convert to CMYK as the documents are mostly online, however I do sometimes print them.

I do not want to convert to CMYK as the documents are mostly online, however I do sometimes print them.
It's the Export settings that determine whether color will be converted to CMYK, not your Color Settings.
Try using the default North America General Purpose Color Settings, then make a new Web intent document, and Export with the PDF/X-4 preset.
Color Settings:
A Web intent New document will initially set all color and the Transparency Blend space to RGB. If you don't want pixels you can set the rulers to different units later:
Export to PDF/X-4 which will prevent RGB colors from converting to CMYK, and include the correct RGB profile:

Whick MacBook (Black or White) show scratches and fingerprints more???

Hi,
Which color MacBook shows more wear and tear, the Black or the White model?
When I get one, I do not want it to look like H-E double sticks within a week. We have a 12" iBook G3 (VERY OLD...) and it is white and it does have fine scratches everywhere but they are not exremely noticable or bothersome. I'm assuming the white MacBook is made out of a similar material and will eventually look the same as the iBook G3 (It took about 6 years to look how it does now so it did hold up nicely...) So I guess my question is, does the Black MacBook show as much wear as the White model or is it worse? Is the Black worse because of the black iPod scratching hysteria?
Thanks SO MUCH!

iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Thank you so much for all of your help everyone! I still have ample time to decide which color I want to get. I am leaning towards the white after seeing that pic of the finger print plagued black MacBook. As I said before, we have taken excellent care of our old, old, OLD iBook and it looks very good considering how antiquated it is. I did not know that pic of the peeling black MacBook matte finish was at an Apple Store. I thought it was his after several days. You really do not know what abuse it might have suffered at the store, but at the same time it could really be peeling because of the quality of the finish. I would say the white one is a safe choice and a better deal, then again black is awesome too!

My 3000 c200 8922 laptop's screen goes black with white showing through at boot-up.

When ever my computer starts up, all that shows is a black screen and some a faint white color. It was kind of acting up a last week or so. When I was using it, the screen went white in stripes for a few seconds. I think I might caused it some major harm while surfing the net. Any ideas? I have no knowledge as this computer is kind of old.

could be possible graphic card or ram issue.
can you check if the issue persists on external display?
also, try to remove/re-seat or swap the ram sticks.

White Looks Like Cream In Photoshop???

Hey Guys,
I recently purchased a new monitor, and ive looked for a solution to this question in its book etc, but i had no joy. Basically upon opening an image, or even selecting the a colour from the colour swatch in photoshop, the colour doesnt seem to look right.
The most obvious is the colour white. In photoshop, upon selecting white, the chosen colour actually looks a lot more like a creamy colour.
Can anybody offer any advice on this please? Am i doing something wrong? is my monitor buggered? I have done some calibration in adobe gamma but that hasnt really helped.
One thing to note, upon opening photoshop after installing my new monitor, i had some sort of message come up, and i didnt read the entire message before i had closed it (duh) but it said something about colour profile error or mis-match - im not 100% sure of what the error was but i know it was definately about colour and it referenced the fact a new monitor had been installed.
can anybody help? thanks so much
Andy

Hi Guys,
Thank you both for your replys. With your help, i have managed to crack the problem, and the colours are now displaying perfectly.
Thanks so much for taking the time to get back to me. I really appreciate it.

IPad will not turn off screen is white showing correct time only

I tried to relocate my settings icon and it dissapeared tried turning off and on then iPad siezed up with a white screen. The only thing at the top of the screen is the correct time. Can this problem be rectified. Help thanks

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

White still showing in PDF but not in Photoshop after making selection

Hi,
The first attachment is a selection I've made of a makeup brush that was originally on a white background.The second attachment is a screenshot of how that brush is showing up after I place the selected brush in an Illustrator file and export to PDF.
As you can see, even though you can't see any extra white around the brush in my selection, its showing up with it in the final PDF. I put the black background behind the selection in the first attachment to simulate the background from the PDF. It is the same exact color, which verifies that there is no extra white in the original selection which can be seen.
How can I get rid of that extra white showing up?
Thanks!

Have you tried zooming in on the pdf and seeing if the white outline is still there? I've found a lot of the time with my pdf's that the viewer itself is just not rendering the image correctly.
Like this crappy white edge
But then when I zoom in it vanishes

Tran.FBL1N - problem with showing correct amount regarding partial paymants

Hello,
Every day at my workplace I use transaction FBL1N which I use to see how much money I own to vendors and also to se how much is payed. However I have problem whit showing payed amounts for partial paymants (transaction F-59). For example:
I own some vendor EUR 20.000,00 and I decide to pay him EUR 15.000,00 using partial paymant option (transaction F-59) because that's amount I have at the moment on my bank account. After that, when I choose that vendor using transaction FBL1N (with enabled option Open items on current date) so I coiuld see how much it is left to pay him, amount EUR 15.000,00 is not subtracted and reprt is still showing me that I own him EUR 20.000,00 which ofcourse is not correct.
I also must note that in case I payed that vendor full amount I wouldn't have this problem and transaction FBL1N would show correct amount.
I hope someone can advise me about this and help me solve my issue.
Any help is appreciated and many thanks in advance for prompt replys.
Cheers;)

thnx loky46, I understand it better now - I hva one more important question regarding this:
Is there any way I can found total amount I own to one or more vendors (_regardless_ if it is full or partial paymant or combination of both paymants)? For example:
Line 1 || VENDOR I || Eur 20.000,00 RE
Line 2 || VENDOR I || Eur 15.000,00 AB
TOTAL Eur 5.000,00
but without using this option:
you have to add the field "invoice reference" to your line layout and make a subtotal on it.
Also, is it possible for line Eur 15.000,00 to become Close item because that part is payed and for rest of amount of Eur 5.000 to be Open item because is still not payed. I assume this can't be done but on this way I could now exact total amount of money which I own to my vendor(s) and it would be a of great help to me in every-day work.
Thank you.

White space under table on page how to get rid of it

I created a new page, inserted a table to fill the page and
put in a background color. When I look at the page in Dreamweaver,
there is no white space under the table at the bottom of the page.
When I preview the page in a browser, the table ends about an inch
from the bottom of the page and I have about an inch of white space
under the table. Does anyone have an idea why this is happening?
Thanks for any help you can give. I'm going crazy trying to
get rid of it.
Diane

Fix up the errors with your html firstly - then see where you
are at with
the page....
The first thing to do would be to get rid of the table
heights - it's
invalid and won't render cross browser anyway. Error:

Black & White Photos to not appear in iPhoto

I added several black & white photos into the library of iPhoto along with many color photos, but none of the black & white show.
Each of the B & W have a black place holder but it is totally black. If I click a photo, it displays as a ghost image lacking detail.
I originally edited these photo scans in Photoshop and saved them as a jpeg image without layers.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

I had same problem. I scanned and saved as greyscale, imported and then they show up as black in preview, etc. Is there any way to change the photos that I have already scanned and saved without having to scan all of them again under the new profile?
