Why is everything showing in negative color.

I haven't dropped my iPad or done anything else that would damage it.  I just opened it and all of a sudden the colors were completely off.  It's like it's a negative.  What did I touch or is it broken?

Try Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> White on black and turn this Off.

  • Just installed mountain Lion. Viewing a pdf sent to me using preview and some colors are appearing BLACK, however when I view the same PDF in Acrobat they are perfect and what they are suppose to be. WHY would PREVIEW showing a different color?

    Just installed mountain Lion. Viewing a pdf sent to me using preview and some colors are appearing BLACK, however when I view the same PDF in Acrobat they are perfect and what they are suppose to be. WHY would PREVIEW showing a different color?

    Here's what I've found on the issue:
    Pantone color definitions have changed (coinciding with CS6) — they are now "Pantone+" (I think that's what they're called). The "+" apparently means they're now LAB colors. Lab colors are not properly displayed in Preview (or in Finder previews) — they display as black (as far as I can tell, in all circumstances). I'm sure it's a tad more complicated than that, but that's the gist.
    Now the bad news — nobody seems to know anything about a fix or workaround (unless you convert your PDFs to process — this might be a fix for sending to clients). It causes issues for me in AI files — being able to view them in the finder (with previews) is a HUGE time saver for my workflow... when they're all black, not so much.
    In my chat with a director of product dev at Adobe, they placed the responsibility to fix on Apple (assuming Apple wants to support Pantone color definitions in their OS).

  • Why does PS show only 256 color Steps in a 16 Bit per channel workflow

    Hi forum-members,
    I am a bit confused about the way PS (CS5) acts with colors when editing pictures (RAW-converted) in RGB 16 bit per channel mode.
    (please don't mind, if I am using some wrong English expressions here - since the PS at my work is German)
    --> I would expect, that I would be able to select from a variety of 65535 (=16 Bit) color steps for every R - G or B channel ... bus PS still let's me select just 256 (=8 Bit) colors per channel (in the color palette on the right - also the "color pickup tool" will show 8 Bit values - the image certainly has 48 bit color depth).
    Why am I asking? I will get a display capable of displaying 10 bit colors per channel in PS (NEC PA241W, ATI FirePro V5800, DisplayPort --> 30 Bit colors in Adobe PS) next week. And thus I need a better color resolution (which would mean: 16 Bit in PS) to avoid banding-effects.
    Does anybody know why I can't select more colors here or how to change this behaviour?
    Thank you very much in advance for your answers!

    Hi Mark,
    I already managed getting it to work :-)
    First I did not succeed and I had to reinstall my system (because of driver issues of the remaining nVidia driver - my old card...).
    After reinstallation and performing all necessary steps (as descripbed here: http://www.amd.com/us/Documents/48108-B_ATI_FirePro_Adobe_10-Bit_FAQ_R5_Final.pdf) I now get 30 Bit color ...
    ... which is AMAZING! You really can see the superior quality in almost every picture. Colors are very accurate and especially in dark shadows or skys you get a much better color rendition (now its indeed hard to see the color values of a color gradient anymore...).
    Also have a look at this page related to 10 Bit output: http://www.amd.com/US/PRODUCTS/WORKSTATION/GRAPHICS/TOOLS/Pages/tools.aspx
    And don't forget to download 'ramp.psd' from the page above - it's a good tool to proove wether everything has worked - if you're really running on 10 Bit you will not be able to see any banding within this picture (with 8 Bit you'll see a few vertical bars... moving up to 10 Bit will result in a smooth gradient)
    As with every good news there are also some annoyances (at least till now, since I think it's "only" driver problems ... so there's a good chance, things will change further in the future):
    - First of all: 10 Bit per channel ONLY works with the "professional grade" graphics cards (ATI FirePro), don't try this with a Radeon type card - it simply won't work. Similarly nVidia adds 10 Bit support on display port only on the QuadFX series (very expensive!). And I just can speak for ATI FirePro cards, since this is, what I am using here. Since the cards are physically identical to the "gamer" versions I think this is a way to promote their "professional grade" cards by the vendors. (BTW: all supported ATI cards are included in the pdf mentioned above)
    - ATI: with the latest ATI driver (8.7xx) will loose some abilities (OS is Windows 7, 64 Bit): first, you will loose your Aero display features, since there's some background process running that prevents Win7 from using Aero. I guess, this could be due to a lack of alpha blending capability of the driver (or hardware?) when used in 10 Bit mode. If you don't need 10 Bit it can easily be turned on and off (+ Reboot), so that the effect is NIL in "normal" operation mode.
    Second I recognized some trouble using certain apps: especially playing BluRay get'S trouble, for HDCP is not detected anymore - the BluRay player tells, that HDCP is not supported by the monitor. Again, the error is gone if switching back to 8 Bit mode.
    - There's no way to select the "new" colors in Adobe PS (this is - in my opinion - a bug in Adobe PS and should be fixec someday). I "worked around" this by generating a 16 Bit RGB picture with a smooth gradient --> now you can pick even the finest colors using the pipette tool... which works fine.
    After all: working with 10 Bit p.C. is a great pleasure! Of course you need 16 Bit RGB pictures (which are huge sized) to get the plus in color rendition - but I am well willing to pay the price - the images are just looking great (and the PA241W is the right tool to get there - a very well made monitor! Really worth the price - equally addictive like Eizo's GC series).
    Hopefully I could help you - please don't hesitate to reply if you need further assistance!
    Best regards
    Roland
    P.S.: Yes, this forum is WAY better than most on the net - very reliable and professional support! With support of "real" Adobe engineers - congratulations, Adobe! Very much appreciated.

  • I have a question about the calendar on the ipad2. I have multiple calendars in different colors. Some of the events are filled in with color. Others are just listed with a colored dot in front of the event. Any ideas why events ar showing up differently?

    I have an ipad2 and my question is about the calendar. I set up multiple calendars with different colors. Some of the events show up in filled color. Others only show with a colored dot in front of the event. I can't figure out why some show up one way and others show up differently? Any thoughts?

    On mine the ones that show on a coloured background are all-day events, the ones with dots and just timed events.

  • Why is everything in my playback monitor blown up (by 200% or so?), and why is it showing as 4:3?

    Why is everything in my playback monitor blown up (by 200% or so?), and why is it showing as 4:3? I imported mxf files that show up fine in the preview monitor, but when edited into the timeline they now suddenly appear super blown up; there is a guy in a mid-shot interview situation, but now I only see his arm. Perhaps I hit  a wrong button by accident, but how can I resolve this? ALso, whether it's the same issue or whether it is unrelated I don't know, but in the playback monitor the aspect ratio seems 4:3; why is that? Any idea, on either topic, anyone? Thank you!!!!!

  • Why is zero showing as a negative value?

    Does anyone know why zero is showing as a negative value?

    Hi Neil,
    Not really a bug, just a limitation of the mathematics involved.
    You're entering the numbers as base 10 numerals. Computers work in base 2, so before any calculation is done, each number must be converted to its base 2 representation.
    All of the calculations are done in base 2, then the results are presented as base 10, rounded to whatever precision you have set (or the defaut precision for currency amounts—to the nearer hundredth of the base unit). What you see is a rounded value, but what is actually in the cell is the result of the calculation, including the rounding errors inherent in the process.
    Those errors arise from a simple fact: Not all numbers in base 10 can be expressed exacty in base 2. (Not all numbers can be expressed exactly in base 10 either, but that's a different discussion.) Expression of numbers in the math underlying Numbers is accurate to 15 places (base 10), regardless of which side of the decimal point those places occur.
    Each of the "zeros" in your sums involves several pieces of data in the sum, not all of which can be expressed exactly in base 2. In two of the sums, the errors (if any) cancel out and there is no difference between the sum expressed to two decimal places and the same sum expressed to 15 digits. In the other three, this is not true, as can be seen below.
    The image is of your test table. Columns A, B, and C have been reduced i width, all non-sum rows have been hidden to reduce the image size, and the SUM cells have been set to show 30 places (the maximum permited in Numbers) after the decimal to ensure that all significant places are shown, and that the decimal points are lined up for easy comparison.
    Note that three of the results differ from their displayed (two decimal place) values. The largest difference is in the third value, the smallest in the forth. The absolute difference between expected and actual result in the third of these lies between the other two, but is more noticeable because the result is less than zero and carries the - sign because of that. The minus sign is not "inserted" (randomly) by the software; it's there for the same reason there's a minus sign in the cell containing -103.31 is in that cell: the value in the cell is negative.
    "If I replace the cells containing the duplicates eg. £269.57, £90.11 & £103.31 with numbers manually added together £539.14, £180.22, £206.62. - the software doesn't insert the negative."
    Nor does it "insert the negative" in the first cell displaying a "zero" result, or the cell displaying a 26.04 result. Replacing those six numbers with six (or three) others changes the translation errors for each of these pieces of the sum, and that changes the sum itself. In this case the cumulative error moved the result from being 'smaller' than expected to 'larger' than expected. The result is now slightly larger than zero, so the minus sign is not needed or appropriate.
    Here are two further examples. The sum shown is the one in row 130. The data is the same as in the original table except for rows 126 and 127.
    Original values:
    Two occurrences of -90.11 replaced with a 0 and -180.22 produced this change in the result. Still negative, so the minus sign wi still be there.
    Two occurrences of -90.11 replaced with -90.10 and 90.12:
    A surprise! The actual value is zero (to the limits of precision of the underlying math).
    But that's not (for the usual user) a predictable result.
    Depending what you are doing with the results, you may want to do the rounding proposed by Wayne. This will change the actual vaue in the cell to the displayed value ( 0.00), and will remove the minus sign.
    It's not a bug—Numbers follows ISO standards in its math—but you may wish to Provide Numbers Feedback to Apple regarding your (and others) user expectations. You'll find an item with that name in the Numbers menu in Numbers.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • Acrobat Preview mode doesn't show PMS spot colors

    Out of the blue, the preview mode in Acrobat 9 is showing PMS spot colors as black, CMYK colors show up fine. The actual pdf itself is fine. This happens when I make pdfs "High Quality" or "Press Quality" from Indesign 6. Curiously, it does not happen when I make a "Smallest File". However when I attach these pdfs to email, the spot colors appear black.
    I've been using 9 for a long time and I've been using Indesign 6 for a few months now. I'm on a Mac Pro, OSX 10.6.8. I can't figure out if there is something that was unchecked or checked that is causing this problem to come up seemingly out of nowhere.
    Any advice is much appreciated,
    Thanks!

    It was correct for Adobe to use the Lab alternate color space for display of Pantone spot colors. Why? Two reasons:
    (1)     InDesign and Illustrator are now consistent with Photoshop's behaviour with non-process color channels. This interoperability issue has been complained about for years.
    (2)     When one referred to the CMYK alternate color space values of Pantone colors, the question naturally comes up as to which CMYK color space those deviceCMYK values represent. Are those values for SWOP or Gracol or what? According to what Pantone told me personally years ago, they were SWOP, but not so-labelled. Thus, unless your output CMYK color space is SWOP, use of those CMYK colors is simply wrong!!! Using Lab alternate colors will allow whatever renders those spot colors in either RGB or CMYK to properly render them in the actual final color space!
    Unfortunately, there is nothing that Adobe can do to cause Apple's preview product to properly display these colors. By the way, this problem also afflicts the built-in PDF viewer in the iOS products as well as MacOS X. Fortunately, under MacOS, you can easily download and install the free Adobe Reader and have it do all the PDF display in lieu of Apple's preview. Although we do have Adobe Reader available for iOS, Apple does not let us replace preview in iOS for PDF preview. You must view in preview and send the file to Adobe Reader.
    Of course, if enough Apple users complained to Apple management about the numerous anomalies of its preview program, maybe after all these years, they might actually fix it to properly handle Lab colors (as well as transparency).

  • Why can't I find the color profile info in the library ?

    Why can’t I find the color profile info in the library ?
    It’s sometimes necessary to convert to sRGB for some applications ( internet, some beamers in clubs,…).
    I convert them but afterwards it is nice to have the possibility to check this out and should be possible in lightroom, the info is present why not showing it ( it is not so easy to go in finder and look at it in info for every image)?
    Since I’m always working in Adobe profile for printing and so this is important to know !
    But no trace of it anywhere….
    Thx for any reply.

    The disconnect here is many (including me) don't reimport rendered JPEGs
    into our Lightroom Catalogs. Why you are doing that is beyond me. You
    have the original and can recreate any rendered file at any time.
    Storing the derivative JPEGs is redundant, creates additional confusion
    and serves little real purpose. Exported versions are considered
    discarable by many.
    Yes, understand what you're meaning. but the fact is that I started rather recently with lightroom. So my images where classified in directory's and subdirectory's...already.
    I think that this is the major problem. This is always a problem when you step in a new system.
    Let's say I am going to submit to a photographic society, I have an Export
    preset created that exports to proper size and color space for
    projection. It creates a file. I send it to the club. Then I delete it.
    Why save it? I can recreate it. Then I don't have to manage it, search
    for it, or worse yet, risk confusion with my original file or othe
    resultant derivatives. 
    The fact that I like to keep them is
    indeed an inborn result of the "pré-lightroom period". A bad habitude
    indeed. I'm thinking now of deleting them, will maybe better. On the other side
    I still have them just for me in order to know which ones I used and when.
    Another bad habitude.
    But
    since I'm not a professional photographer I'm mostly confronted with the time
    issue and it is for me easier to take existing files ready for use...
    ( doesn't mean you’re not confronted
    with this problem
    Today place for jpeg's is rather easy since the Gb's are almost free...
    Same is true of a client photo. They want an 8x10. I go to the retouched
    original, create a JPEG from an 8x10 preset in the proper dimensions and color space. Send it to the lab. Then, I can delete it.
    One of the strengths of Lightroom is that it creates many fewer
    intermediate file versions along the way toward final creation. Another
    strength is that you can save (via snapshots in Develop) your
    derivatives, export, and discard them without having to create, import
    and manage additional files on disk. In the old days of just Photoshop
    you might end up with a dozen or more files on your disk for every
    worked file. With Lightroom, you only need one or two.
    Will look deeper in your proposed workflow...and yes I'm comming from the old days.
    That said, if you want to keep the derivatives for purposes down the road,
    that is up to you but I don't understand why they need to be inserted
    into your catalog.
    Since my catalog is made in the time
    from before lightroom I’m still having all these directory's and
    subdirectory's...
    Easier
    for me since even with back-ups of the catalogue still afraid for crashes. And
    I keep liking these directory structure because for the moment it's lighrtroom
    and tomorrow it can be another program, you never know. It's like a website, "on line versoin only", big problem when a firm at some moment stop to provide this possibility.
    I think I will try to go deeper in "how to use lightroom better..."
    thanks

  • Help! Why did everything disappear?

    I was changing the fill on a shape I drew on a new layer, when suddenly everything I had done before disappeared and I now have only one layer with one frame.  What happened??  And can I get everything back?  I had a layer with a static photo, a layer with a symbol and simple motion tween (swoop in from left), and a third layer I was working on.  There were 36 frames in the file.  Now, Layer 1 (with one frame) has the photo and the shape showing.  I've been all over the forums and support looking for a clue.  Can anyone help me?  Thanks!!

    Hi Matt!
    Thank you so much for replying to my question ‹ I¹ll be able to go back to
    my Flash project later this evening, and I¹ll be able to answer these
    questions.  Is there some reason that two or three layers would disappear
    and only Layer 1 would remain?  Is there a ³flatten² type command like in
    Photoshop?  Thanks again!

    Were you working on the tween inside of an object?  It sounds like you have
    an object that has 36 frame that's sitting on frame 1 of the timeline.  Whe
    n you were manipulating your tween, or shape, or whatever on layer 3, you
    clicked out of your object and are just looking at your main timeline.
    If you deleted the graphic object, you may have deleted the work you did...
    Can you name the files in your library, the type of object they are, and a
    description of what each object contains?

  • Everything showing up black in project

    So I just installed Final Cut Studio. I opened Motion and start drawing objects and adding text and importing psd files and everything shows up black. The objects are all there but nothing showing up. Here's a screenshot: http://cl.ly/2qh0
    Any help would be fantastic. Thanks!

    Google is a wonderful thing. This is straight from Apples site:
    Make Your Files Motion-friendly
    Motion can import flat or layered Photoshop files. It’s best to work in RGB color at 72 dpi. You should also name your layers. There are certain things (like layer masks) that should be applied directly to layers when you import them separately. Check the Motion manual for more information.
    Motion can import Illustrator files, but you must check the “Create PDF Compatible File” option when you save. You can also save your file as a PDF before you import it into Motion. Motion always imports layered Illustrator files as a flattened files.
    Size Matters
    You should set the size of your Motion project according to your final output format. You can choose from a number of presets that correspond to common project types such as NTSC D1 (television) and NTSC DV (Mini DV footage). You can also set your own resolution using the Custom option.
    Layers and Objects in Motion
    Layers in Motion work a little differently from layers in Photoshop and Illustrator. Motion uses a hierarchy of Layers and Objects. Objects are the smallest unit of media, such as a flattened file or a single Photoshop layer. Layers are like containers that can hold any number of objects. Both Layers and Objects appear in the Layers window.
