Windows screen colours odd - Greyscale shows brown

I'm new to the Adobe world (converting from PaintShop Pro)
I'm accustom to a state in which every Windows program displaying an image file from disk shows the same colours on-screen - the one staggering exception is the Photoshop Elements (which I am trying out).
I have reached the point of panic where I have a greyscale file (PNG, 8-bit grey) and it displays in shades of brown (sepia) where the Windows display (on an LCD monitor) favours a slightly blue tinge to the grey.
I have tried all settings I can find on the Edit > Colour Settings dialog.
(I note with especial alarm that "No Colour management" means that the actual colour picker picks up brown not desaturated grey, when I click in the image. (Grey colour numbers in "optimize for screen" and "optimize for printer".)
Is there any way to just make Elements work like the rest of Windows and NOT apply ANY colour shifts? None. At all... just import RGB and write RGB and copy RGB the screen and printer drivers?
Photoshop Elements 7
Windows XP SP3, Dell Pentium D 2.8GHz, 2GB ram, nVidia 7600GT 256MB, Dell 1905 LCD monitor (Dell monitor profile, very similar to sRGB), HP 950C printer ("sRGB" profile)

thank you - but I don't think we are talking on the same wavelength yet:
I am not trying to adjust the monitor or the images, nor to apply corrections to them. (I am well aware that the LCD screens appear more blue-white than eg CRT screens I also use, which are more yellow-white, with other differences. That is not the argument!)
I am trying to edit images which will appear on-screen, and to see them as they really are - and "what they really are" is defined by their appearance screen, in the consensus collection of programs:
Windows Explorer + image preview, Web-browser, Picasa, ...
As a first step what I really want to do is to get Elements to show the same thing as the others, and then to make edits in Elements which will appear the same when saved to disk and viewed elsewhere.
When I say "a greyscale image appears brown" this is a description of 2 applications side-by-side on-screen;
even worse, if I use the Elements built-in "Save for Web..." the preview in *that* uses the Windows colour display.
I can make a screen-capture of images being edited, and in all programs I have used *except* Elements, the captured pixels have the same RGB as the original image.
I had hoped that Elements acquiring a "use no correction" might actually mean what it said, and read RGB and copy that RGB to the screen, so (r,g,b) would display as exactly that.

IMac screen colour, how to show tints and shades that won't appear

iMac screen colour, how do I show tints and shades that won't appear on screen
I have a 2 month old imac, with a great screen. But for some reason I cant se light shades of colour like 5% of a tint.
yet on older macs, and a 2 year old imac, i can see them prefectly.
Some designs have light panels with 5% colours, some a precent of a colour.
Can anyone suggest a way to calibrate the screen, or set the screen to show all the colours n tints used as accuratley as possible.
Advice much appreciated

The fdisk output shows that it is a single GPT disk. Has any disk manipulation been done, like resizing or repartitioning.
Your GPT looks correct. If you create a Hybrid MBR via gdisk and include partitions 2,3 and 4 and make 4 bootable, does Windows partition show up in Startup and as a separate volume in Finder?
Please see https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5641066 for Hybrid MBR creation.

That has never been a feature of Mac OS X, but I believe there was some kind of third-party software that could add that capability. i don't recall what its name is, but you must have had that installed, and it either isn't installed anymore (perhaps removed as incompatible?) or is not working properly in Mountain Lion.

If the third link you posted (the link containing the word "majority") does not look like the following then you inadvertently installed adware.
That particular page should resemble the following:
The word "majority" in the third paragraph should not be a link and should not have the green icon associated with it.

4 lines following my mouse & odd screen colours

I have a G3 running 9.2 and at startup the mouse cursor has 4 vertical lines beside it about 1" long and follow it around. Also the colours on the screen are odd. It is not the monitor as it works fine on my other G3. Any ideas?

Updated mavericks and now my bootcamp windows 7 partition no longer shows up

Hello and thank you in advance for the help!
This problem started when I updated my Mavericks. My start up into the windows side of my computer is normally a bit slow but works never-the-less. After installing the update to 10.9.5 my windows partition first gave a screen where it would ask me to press enter to get into the windows side of the computer but the keyboard did nothing so I restarted the computer. Thereafter, my windows 7 partition no longer shows up when I press option from start up or from system preferences > startup disk. I was able to find the partition on the target disk mode which leads me to believe that the partition is damaged somehow. I have some of my data backed up, but not all of it. What is the best way to make a data recovery and get my windows partition operating again?
I have also tried all the basics like PRAM and starting up from Safe mode but I cannot see the windows partition anywhere except for when I open the target disk mode from my other computer.
Thank you in advance for the speedy replies!

Hi Eric,
Bootcamp does show up in the disk utility but it is grey instead of black like the Macintosh HD.
The following information is available:
Mount Point: Not mounted
Format: Windows NT File System (NTFS)
Owners Enabled: -
Number of Folders: -
Capacity: 274.55 GB
Available: -
Used: -
Number of Files: -
What might be the best way to continue to repair it. I do not have the option to click on "verify disk permissions" or "Repair Disk Permissions".
Should I clone the hard drive in the target disk mode??
I'm not the best at this stuff so any more advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

How do you make the address toolbar colour follow the Windows theme colour?

Firefox used to follow the Windows 7 theme in the address toolbar; if the windows are coloured green then the address toolbar is coloured green. Now the Address toolbar is a gross grey-blue colour. Previously, only the tabs and the bookmarks toolbar had their own yucky grey-blue colour, but it's spread upward!
How do I change this?
I would really love any solutions that did not require me to install a new theme, as whenever I have done that in the past it has always impaired performance (slows down the loading of the browser).

You can use a custom style rule to change the color. Custom style rules can be applied to the user interface either using the Stylish extension or by creating a file named userChrome.css in your profile (settings) folder.
To create the rule, though, I think someone might need to see the particular shade of green. I don't know whether it is possible to detect that automatically.
Alternately, you could make the background of the address bar transparent so the color behind it shows through. There's an example of that kind of rule in this thread: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1000123]. If that looks too naked, one might try a translucent background (e.g., white, but only 10% opaque so most of the background color shows through).

Cannot install Windows 7 Pro; gets stuck on "Starting Windows" screen

I have read dozens of posts on this topic but none has helped yet.
My system has Windows 8 with UEFI. I want to install Windows 7 Pro on another partition. I have turned off Secure Boot in the UEFI/BIOS. When I try to install Windows 7 Pro from a DVD it shows "windows is loading files" and then gets stuck on "Starting Windows"
for ever. This happens even when no USB peripherals are attached.
I have already wasted many days on this. I hope someone can help.
Thanks!

Hi friends of the internet
I have been reading several forums regarding the issue of installing windows 7 (64 bit) to a computer that have had windows 8 installed previously or just a GPT formatted disk.
My Case:
Windows version installed: Windows 7 Professional N with Service Pack 1 (x64) or Windows 7 Professional (x64)
Computer used: Samsung laptop
Model Code: NP53U4C-A02SE
See the specks here:
http://www.samsung.com/dk/consumer/computer-peripherals/notebook/notebook/NP535U4C-A02SE-spec
Create a USB install disk that not freezes at ”starting windows” screen:
First I followed this great guide (Thanks Daniel):
http://
hodgin.ca/2012/10/02/creating-a-uefibios-windows-7-usb-and-installing-to-gpt-partitions/
STOP AFTER STEP 13!
1. Open a command line in administrator mode
2. run DISKPART
3. type LIST DISK
4. Look for the disk number that represents your USB drive
5. type SELECT DISK # where # represents the number of your USB drive. Get this right or you will wipe a different drive out.
6. type CLEAN
7. type CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
8. type SELECT PARTITION 1
9. type ACTIVE
10. type FORMAT fs=fat32 quick
11. type assign
12. The drive should now be formatted and marked as active and fat32. Do not format the drive as NTFS or you will only be able to boot into the installer in BIOS mode.
13. Now you will need to copy the contents of the windows 7 install dvd to the USB with a regular copy paste from windows explorer.
Here comes a very weird hack... I do not know why it works, but I think it is all about flash drive data structure. I did these steps on a win 7 prof. computer.
(Let’s assume it’s drive E:)
Make a copy of your e:\efi\microsoft folder to e.g. your desktop.
Delete the e:\efi folder
Copy the \efi folder from a windows 8 installation disk (I used Windows 8 (x64) Professional) to the e:\efi folder. Sorry I cannot provide this for you.
Here comes the weird part. Then delete e:\efi\microsoft you just copied from the win 8 installation disk.
Copy the \microsoft folder form the desktop to e:\efi\microsoft
Resume the guide from step 18.:
http://
hodgin.ca/2012/10/02/creating-a-uefibios-windows-7-usb-and-installing-to-gpt-partitions/
18. Insert the USB in the machine and turn it on and boot into the UEFI/BIOS loader and check for boot options. On the ASUS Zenbook it detected two boot options on the USB drive. One was UEFI and one was regular BIOS. I made the
UEFI option the first choice and restarted the machine.
My bios setup was:
Secure Boot = Disable
OS Mode Selection = CSM and UEFI OS
Boot Device Priority = I made the UEFI option the first choice and restarted the machine.
The installation should start normal.
E.g. See this guide:
www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/186875-uefi-unified-extensible-firmware-interface-install-windows-7-a.html
What I did was:
Select custom installation (Advanced).
Click Drive options (Advanced).
Delete all partitions (this might not be needed). When I did not delete all partitions I was asked every time after the install, during start up by the windows boot manager to select ether win 8 or win 7.
Click new (DO NOT make Changes in the size of the disk), apply, see NOTE!
Edit the Primary partition as you want it e.g. divide it to more partitions.
Select the one you will install windows on and do a normal install.
I do not make changes in the Bios after install. The Boot priority is automatic set to “Windows boot manager”. If I change the boot mode back to OS Mode Selection = UEFI OS, the computer will freeze at the “starting windows” screen again.
All this worked for me, good luck. There might be more to it, but this is a start.
By the way, the start up time for a MBT install was 37 s. And for the GPT it was 49 s.
Remember if we stand on each other’s shoulders we will reach higher
J.
NOTE: Here the installation program should create three partitions automatically!
Partition 1 - System - The EFI System partition that contains the NTLDR, HAL, Boot.txt, and other files that are needed to boot the system, such as drivers.
Partition 2 - MSR - The Microsoft Reserved (MSR) partition that reserves space on each disk drive for subsequent use by operating system software.
Partition 3 - Primary - Where Windows is to be installed to.
If this isn’t the cast you are not installing in UEIF mode. To check for this (thanks again Daniel):
If you need to find out if you have booted into BIOS mode or UEFI mode when the installer starts you can press SHIFT+F10 when the welcome installer shows up to open a cmd prompt. from here you will likely be at X:\Sources. Type cd .. to
go back a dir and move into \Windows\Panther\
Then type notepad setupact.log
Within this file do a ctrl+f and search for
Callback_BootEnvironmentDetect: Detected boot environment:
It should either say BIOS or UEFI.
To check if your disk is in the GPT format.
Open the command prompt.
Type: DISKPART
Type: List Disk
See for the star (*) in the GPT column

When I minimize firefox, the icon at the bottom of window screen disappeared.

* When I minimized the FireFox window, the icon at the bottom of the window screen disappear. I have no way to get the window out anymore, but to initiate another instances of Firefox.
* Recently I found that Firefox start up is tremendously slow. It seems to slow down my pc a lot too.

it says hide in the menu but the window is not showing. the only way to get the window to show is the drag 4 fingers down but then it goes away again if i click on window.

On my screen my iChat name shows as my AIM handle, but other people are showing a completely different name. Anyone know how to correct this?

Hi,
I still have you in my Buddy list.
Whereas you were showing just plain "Norma" you are now showing "Norma Howe" in Capital Letters.
The only way I know to achieve that at my end is to View any Display Name that was set up or Add those "First Name, Last Name" Details to my address Book and list your Screen Name against them.
IF the AIM Settings Display Name items does not List NORMA HOWE and in fact lists something else the only thing I can think of is another App allows the Display name to be set from there and this is overriding the AIM Setting info.
I fired up an old version of AIM for Mac (version 4.7 from 2005) on my G4 computer running Leopard.
This Identifies Buddies that have entered Display Names (puts them in the Quotes as in "NORMA HOWE")
In the Preferences of this version of AIM for Mac it has a Sign On tab.
This has a box to enter how you show up (i.e. the Display Name) This version hints at adding Capitalisation and Spaces to your Screen Name.
Actually when I tried to change it to anything this version refused to let me.
So I changed my regular Name to "Ralph Johns r"
This however does not change the AIM settings page
Uploaded with Skitch!
This would suggest that if the AIM setting page does not have this info then it is an AIM app somewhere.
Boot Camp and windows Version ?
AIM for Mac (Any versions) ? (I am prettry sure it will be alter version than mine as the Self Listing shows the changed Name but still lists it as the Screen Name in the info Screen)
AIM on a Phone or iPad ?

Blank Window Screen, Start-Up from Window- Can't go back to Mac OS

I just bought an i3 iMac desk top (with 1080 screen default setting) only 3 days ago.
I tried to install Window 7 which I believe was SUCCESSFUL.
However it ended quickly and the screen went blank which I did not know was end of the process and Window 7 does not read the display.
I did not get to load Bootcamp driver for Window as I used iso image for Windows 7 (from an academic arrangement and done the same by a teacher who recommends the process) and the installation did not allow me to do so before the Window screen showed up blank.
So I switched off and restarted the iMac and checked the bootcamp for Window software in Mac OS. As far as I could tell, they are all there.
So I went to System Preference and selected Start UP for Windows instead of Mac OS- without changing the display mode (for lower resolution) which is recommended by the instructions (forgot to try that).
I then cold booted the machine again- it told me that I had shut down Window incorrectly in the first place and asked me how to boot up Window and I clicked on the normal start for Window. Window logo did come up then blank screen after a small number of seconds.
I turned off the machine and started the machine again. Again, 'incorrect shut down of Window and thing'. The Window logo did come and then blank screen.
The machine now start up in Windows but the screen is blank.
Is there anyway I can get back to START UP from Mac OS?
Help this is horrible........ This is first time I tried to use Windows for personal use since 1985. This bad.... I wish Apple just do the installation of Windows for people that want to use Windows as well as Mac OS to eliminate this type of horror only related to Windows. I am only using Windows for the course I am doing and for a couple of software from the course. I am no tech person at all. That is why for 25 years I only have bought Mac for my personal use. We should all write to Apple and ask them to install Windows for those that want to have it on their iMac to save all of us the problems which seem a lot from this forum.
Please help with suggestions..... I am DESPERATE........

Hold down the option key during start up - you will be given the choice of which partition to use (Macintosh HD or Windows). I am having the same problem - Windows 7 seems to have installed but it goes to a blank black screen and there is nothing to do but force a reboot. I too have an i3 iMac... Windows 7 32-bit from original disc.

R6970 lightning, black screen after starting Windows screen

Alright so I've been getting a few random bsod saying something about non paged error. At first it was random sometimes in Windows sometimes before the login screen. But then it became consistent, couldn't boot to Windows at all after the starting Windows screen it would bsod everytime. So ran memtest and system repair off the disk and found no errors. So then one time I found the bsod showed an error with atikmdag so then I started to look into driver issues. Deleted catalyst, the drivers and then rebooted. Long and behold it booted Windows fine. Once I loaded Windows it said installing device driver for the graphics card, it finished and prompted a reboot. So I did but on start up after the starting Windows screen it just goes black. Will go into safe mode fine but otherwise black. And it will do that with an old driver, new driver, whether I install with catalyst or Windows does it. Switched via bios and no screen at all on any other setting than the middle switch. So grabbed a gtx 650 from my brother and plugged it in and it booted fine, installed the driver and no problems. So is my card shot or is there something I am missing? Do I have a corrupt bios and need to flash it?
Another note it ran games fine and wouldn't crash but when it was just sitting with Google Chrome and a few tabs is when it started having problems.

PlayBook Screen Colours Invert When Slight Pressure Applied To Device

Hi, my PlayBook's screen colours mess up when light pressure is applied to back of the device.
http://t.co/mKLeEZS - The first image is what the issue looks like (this is when I lift it off a surface). 2nd - supposed to look like. There is also a video that shows the problem in action.
I believe its a hardware issue.

Hey jonbongato,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
This does seem to be a hardware issue. Please contact our PlayBook™ Support team for further investigation: http://t.co/DUNQzJJ
