Yellowish pictures

Hi, I'm new with aperture. I have some troubles and I've tried everything, however I don't get the expected results to get nice printed pictures as shown on my iMac.
I calibrated my screen with the Spyder 3 Pro, I own a Photosmart C5180.
My problem is that the pictures I'm getting when I print them, are or too yellowish or too dark, I already printed the same picture already 20 times and until now any of them look like on my screen, all of them are worthless.
Could anybody help me?

I've a 20 inch iMac with a glossy wide screen. As I mentioned I calibrated with Spyder 3 and I'm still recalibrating it every month. I suppose that the icc profile is correctly installed as I see a difference when I change the icc profile from the ColorSync aplication.
OK, so your ICC profiling package installed an ICC MNTR Monitor profile for the measured state of you colour display, and that ICC MNTR Monitor profile is the one you are looking at in Apple ColorSync Utility > Devices > Displays > Current Profile. Correct?
The problem is that when I'm selecting the printer profile provided by Apple (HP Photosmart for series C5100)I can see on the screen that the pictures turns awful with this yellow cast. The problem is that when I select a standard profile is even worst.
Apple is not provided a printer profile, Apple is providing an interface where the manufacturer may slot in a profile for the make and model of printer, with or without stating the specific paper for which that profile is supposed to be valid.
The problem is that you need to know precisely what paper that profile is valid for. If the paper has a bluish tint, then the profile should correct the graybalance towards yellow. If the paper has a yellowish tint, then the profile should correct the graybalance towards blue. And so forth.
You should try not to think of a profile as a profile for a PRINTER. You should think of a profile as a profile for a specific configuration and a specific calibration, that is, a profile for a printing condition. Perhaps it helps if I tell you a story.
In the start of all this, a customer at a prepress company complained to one of the software people who develop ICC matching software. The customer complained, "Look, I want to profile my Iris proofer, I placed the patch chart on the table, and I measured the patches with my Spectrolino. And this whole thing does not work!" Trying to calm the customer and get a word in sideways, the software developer asked, "You placed the paper on your table, just the single sheet with the patch chart? And what colour was the table?" The agitated customer answered, "Why? What would that matter as I am not measuring the blasted table? The table was blue Formica, if you must know!"
The moral of this little tale is that the ICC architecture lets the software developer adjust the graybalance of RGB/Lab photographs to the tint of the printing paper and the lightness of RGB/Lab photographs to the gray levels of the printing paper. But if the customer places the patch chart on a blue Formica table, the spectrophotometer will measure light that passes through the paper and reflects off the blue Formica as if the paper is bluish, and the ICC profiling package will build an automatic adjustment that is not correct. Not because the ICC architecture is misdeveloped, but because the user mismeasured the patch chart.
Similarly, if you try to use whatever ICC PRTR profile for the specific state of the printing condition, you do not know what the profile is trying to do. You want the right profile for the right printing condition.

  • Yellow pictures from iPhone 5C camera from not enough light or something faulty?

    My daughter-in-law is getting yellowish pictures from her camera in the iPhone 5c. She was told it meant not enough light, but they all turn out the same whether in shade or light, so I'm wondering if there is something wrong with the camera? Here's a typical example

    BTW, if that is indeed what happened, she can revert all these pictures to normal appearance.
    Launch Camera. This time click on the button on lower-left, which opens an album with previously taken photos. select a photo (if not already displayed) and top on Edit button on bottom center. This shows editing tools. Again, select the one with the three overlapping circles. Scroll the bottom effects all the way to the left and select the first preview (labelled None).
    good luck.

  • Picture color profile in Lightroom vs Photoshop CS2 editing

    Hi all, I hope someone can solve this for me.
    When I'm viewing picture in Light room, all my pictures are a bit warmer ( have a yellowish tint to them ) compared to when I view them in Photoshop CS2. The same is true if I view them in other programs. This is true for all my picture file type (jpg, tif or raw). I get the feeling that it's Light room that in the wrong in how it displays the picture and not the other programs. Using the warms tool to make the picture a bit colder, only adds a bluish tint to the image which isn't even close to what it looks like (unedited) in Photoshop.
    I get the feeling that Lightroom does something to the picture, or uses some sort of color profile, driver that other programs don't use.
    Is there a way of changing this?

    >When I purchase these ADOBE products I expect them to JUST WORK!!!!!
    Unfortunately, when Microsoft, Dell and others enter the fray it's no longer up to just the Adobe folks. Differences between Photoshop and Lightroom are almost always due to a corrupt monitor profile. Adobe has nothing to do with that.
    >I dont wanna have to be worried about corrupt profiles yada yada yada!!!
    I just want to be able to do my color correction and exposure corrections in Lightroom export as a High Res Jpeg and then do the remainder of my work in Photoshop and have them both look the same.
    If your screen is correctly calibrated that will be the case. Unfortunately if you want to do color sensitive work on a computer with a typical monitor, you have to have a rudimentary understanding of profiles and color management. There is unfortunately no way around it. This is no different from traditional color photography where you have to understand what different film, different filters and different development do to your colors. The terminology is just different.
    >How do I fix this and please go through it STEP BY STEP BY STEP!!!!
    I am not one for the computer lingo....
    OK. I'll assume first that you have no hardware calibrator and that you are on windows:
    1. Make sure your Photoshop color settings are set up to respect embedded profiles. See the
    first screenshot in this post(ignore everything else as it is no longer relevant in LR 2).
    2. Open your monitor's properties panel, click on advanced and go to the color management tab. Delete any profile you see there. This is the culprit. Probably a bad profile got installed in some driver update for your graphics card or your monitor.
    3. Restart Lightroom and Photoshop and that's it! You'll have corresponding colors. You are however, cheating yourself as your monitor is completely uncalibrated. This is how 99% of computer users run their monitors.
    So here is what you should be doing if you care about your color and matching to print and making sure that others see the same colors. Even though hardly anybody calibrates, the only way to get a good average correspondence is to calibrate your monitor and use color managed apps. This sequence is valid for both macs and PCs
    1. Do as above step one and make sure Photoshop is set up correctly and then go out and buy a hardware calibrator (or order online). They can be had for <$100 for pretty good ones. Look for example for Spyder2 and Huey Pro.
    2. Calibrate your screen following the instructions from the software
    3. Restart Lightroom and Photoshop. Now you'll have identical but correct color.
    If you have a mac, you can cheat slightly and use http://www.computer-darkroom.com/colorsync-display/colorsync_1.htm instead of hardware calibration. You cannot expect very good correspondence between monitor and prints though with that method.

  • In events, only dark squares appear above the title of the event, what do I do to have the pictures appear without having to double click?

    I have transferred my pictures to the new mac pro iphoto application. All pictures are present but when I open Events, I get a dark suare box with the event title below. There is no picture in the box. No pictures show when I scroll across the box. If I click on the box, I get a yellowish line around it. Then I double click it and I get a grey page with squares outlined with a broken white line. I double click one of the new squares and a photo appears. I can advance to each of the photos in that event by clicking on an arrow that is located in the upper right  corner of the picture on the screen. I cannot get iPhoto to work as it should.

  • 928 Camera - Yellowish Tint When Using Flash

    I find that when I take pictues in lower light situations and use the flash there is a distinct yellowish tint to the picture. I have had better results not using the flash at all. Kind of defeats the purpose of the flash. The pictures were taken using the auto settings. Anyone else having this issue or know if there is a resolution or a way to correct this problem?

    I have the new Nokia 1020 from AT&T.  Every time I take a flash picture, the picture white balance is WAY off, with the photo having a yellow tint.  I called Nokia and they recommended returning the phone for a new one, but the new one has the same problem.  I also see several people complaining about this on the web.
    Is a solution coming?  Else, I will have to return the phone, I bought it for the camera, which is defective when using the flash.

  • Elements 12 is applying some kind of filter on all pictures that I open.

    When I open a picture regualrly, AND in RAW, it's as if a yellowish filter was applied immediately to my pictures.
    I've searched for HOURS for a fix for this and am unable to find anything.
    I am extremely disdappointed that this is happening, and really don't want to have to re-install THIS program, or my old version.
    Surely someone can help me?
    Thanks.
    Wendy

    It's happening in both.
    I have Windows 7 Pro. When I preview the photos in My Pictures folder, they are fine. The monitor profile is fine.  But they get a yellow cast when I open them in 12. I had a Topaz filter that disappeared, also.
    I have done all the "reset preferences" and that doesn't change a thing.
    Edited to add:
    WhenI save the picture, untouched, with a different name, it looks exactly the same as the one I preview BEFORE opening it in Elements 12. So it is definitely in Elements somewhere.

  • Uneven colors, slight yellowish screen on my 2nd 17" MBP

    Well, this is my second Hi-Rez 17" 2.6 MBP (the 1st one I return due to the screen having shadows in the middle of the screen. It also had the yellow on the bottom, not sure what screen it had). I now have the new for one week and it has the 9C7A screen. I also turned it on at the Apple Store and notices that the right side what some what darker (about 1/4 of the screen) creating a darker stripe going vertically at the 1/4 point from the right side of the screen. When I move a window from side to side (holding it with the mouse and moving it from the right side to the left side I can notice it even more. I then set my desktop picture to the "Solid Color" choices in our System Preference>Desktop & Screen Saver>Desktop>Solid Colors, and I notice that there is a brighter/yelowish on the bottom and more towards the left of the screen. I also notice a halo brightness about 6-8 pixels from the edge at all edges of the screen and a dark corner on the bottom right. Almost as if the edges of the screen is slightly dimmer. The Apple Care guy at the Apple store told me to use the computer for a while since it changes was it warms up and been used for a while. I don't understand why this keeps happening? This is Apple's best notebook they sell (17" MBP 2.6 Hi-Rez, $3,199). I ran other tests and don't have any dead pixels but every time I move my windows I see the shadow and the yellowish when using colors like grays and blues. I also notice that the fans run more on this one and I hear the hard drive too but this could be normal. Not sure what to do. I am thinking of returning it for a 3rd one
    What also is a bummer is that the Apple Store is 3 hours away! I did try buying a computer online, a new 24" iMac, but that had an even worse gradient problem and had to wait for it in shipping. Now I only buy through the Apple Store but it is not close buy.

    Yes, I have had multiple screens replaced as well as multiple MBPs replaced due to horrible screens. They are getting better and better but the yellow is still there.
    Good luck in your adventure with the NEW MBP screen...

  • ****yellowish color shift in LIGHTROOM: disabling monitor color profile in LR?

    Hi all,
    I would love to know if there is a way to ***disable the monitor (color) profile**** in LR.
    WHY?
    Cause all my pictures seems yellowish in LR, and not anywhere else (firefox, i.e, photoshop, xnview, etc...)
    I solved the same problem in PHOTOSHOP, this way :
    when loading images in photoshop, during starting up, I got this very message :
            " The monitor profile 'LG L245WP' appears to be defective. Please rerun your monitor calibration software. "
    with two possible options :
            "Ignore profile" or "use anyway"
    Then if I use "Ignore profile" everything is fine!
    If I select "use anyway" --> Wrong, all my pictures are yellowish.
    That's why I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW, pleaaaaaase if I can do the same in LR.
    I personnally didn't find, or what else I should do ?!  Knowing that I do not have a ...too expensive!... calibration tool , and my monitor is a LG, L245WP.
    ----> Thanx sooo much for your help.
           I would love to use LR, but this way I can't...

    DdeGannes, Sean : thanx.
    I went to my vista profil , added a profile in relation with my screen... but then which on should I select , between the several sRGB options :
    - WCS profile :  sRGB     a file named wsRBG.cdmp
    or
    - ICC profile : sRGB IEC 61966-2.1 ?
                                       ( of course I have many more... but....none of the others are sRGB profiles )
    Then have you both a calibrator, and you both did all the color "chain" from CAMERA to PRINTER ?
    I am asking.... cause all these adjustments + buying a calibrator seems tough to me to manage/achieve.
    You know :  I'm not a professional ...
    To me, non - pro, it looks even more dangerous to do so than leaving evreything in default mode & presets...
    Should I do something wrong...
    NO?
    Moreover I mean : this is odd that my computer , or/AND (?) screen ,
    doesn't have a "default setting" which would be suitable in LR , at least which no colour shift !
    ( I just change my LG screen mode to 5600K etc... and still I have the same yellowish gap in LR )
    Why would my color management just be wrong in LR or Photoshop ?
    Doesn't this light something I miss to you both, maybe professionals?
    If I read you fine, + the other website... everything is kind of automatic now in every softwares... even xnview, firefox, (not i.e.) etc...
    so why just LR + photoshop, would be mistaken on my computer,
    and Firefox, Xnview, CANON softwares, Painter, ... all show the right profile & colors ???? This is sooooooo weird....to me.
    I mean I got the the point that my whole color management is unshure...
    but it nevertheless it should BE THE SAME through all my softwares... NO ?
    Isn't there a general ADOBE setting somewhere, that might be bugged instead?
    I still think , according to that, that we are missing something.
    Sorry to bother you with my thoughts....
    kiwiii ( paris - france )
    ps/ Does really Photoshop detect the changes I would do directly on my screen ?
         Because when I switch from sRGB, to 6500 K , 9300K or user... on my screen,
         I STILL HAVE the PHOTOSHOP ERROR message :
         " The monitor profile 'LG L245WP' appears to be defective. Please rerun your monitor calibration software. "
          I mean PHOTSHOP doesn't seem to notice (give a damn) on any change I make !?
          As for the rest of my computer I never changed any COLOR PROFILE anywhere... So how do people do without a calibrator to use LR ?
          Is it possible at least?
          Is my screen (i thought so good) totally bugged, if none of my color profile is "ok" for photoshop & LR ?
    THANX AGAIN FOR READING and helping me...

  • 15' Macbook Pro Retina  Ghosting to Yellowish Screen!

    Hi Guys.
    I have a Retina Macbook Pro 15' (Mid 2012) version which i bought on August 1st 2012. I have used my computer for couple months without any issue till ghosting and white spotting problems were accured. Finally, i visited Apple Store and they replaced my screen without any question. I had a LG one and they swapped it with Samsung version. In our conversation with Apple genius, i mentioned that i have read lots of artictles with replaced screens like yellowish tint and other stuff and he replied do not worry about it. So today i got my repaired computer and boom, my retina display is gone and yellowish bothering screen came! I am professional graphic designer with master dagree and colors is part of my life. I have 27' Imac and 2011 13' Macbook air also. The only reason i bought this retina display because of better colors and resolution! I paid almots 3.000$ for faulty computer and when they fixed it, it became more useless for me! I also attached the picture of screens. So what must i do right now? What are my options?
    Thank you for your comments and help!

    hey man, we are on the same boat.same happened to mine rite now, there are couple pixcel off on my screen and i went to replace, no question ask replaced a new screen,when i got home i found the yellow tint so i went back they see the problem replaced again still the same yellow tint. call me for pickup the at the 3rd replacement. still the same problem, they pull out the manager of the store saying this yellow tint is a normal perfect screeen. Now i got no chose left the store with the yellow tint screen. makes me not want to turn it on again.
    I love apple products, I own IMAC 2xmacbooks iphones and also an Ipad. but this is very disappointed. this yellow very bothers me when i editting my pictures. I hope apple will see this problem and get it solve.

  • MacBook Pro retina display warm yellowish tint.

    I had my MacBook Pro retina display screen replaced. But the new screen they replace for me has a warm yellow tint on the display.anyone else have the same problem?I went back to the store they say thats normal they wont do anything. what Can I do?
    The it's very yellow. I using a iPad and Mac Pro at home. Every time I put my eye on my MacBook it just make my eye very uncomfortable. Very warm and yellowish.

    Hi Rzeng123, Thanks for sharing. I also sent my MBPR for second time LCD replacement. But I have no confidence with apple now I am pretty sure I will end up with a second YELLOW screen just like you.I bought my mac in London, but I am right now in Singapore there is no apple store only got reseller and authorized service centre. So I can only send my mac to the authorized service centre for repair. Luckily the manager is not blind as yours but they keep telling me that this kind of obvuous yellowish screen has no problem and it is perfect within specification. So he refused to help me change again at first until I speak to a senior apple advisor through phone call( I have spoken to apple technique support for three times before I finally speak to this "useful senior guy".) The manager in the service centre agreed for a second replacement and as he said before no guarantee.  I don't understand why Apple didn't draw attention to this issue. U and me are not the special cases. I did reserch online before I took my mac for repair people were complaining the same problem as we are. http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1561150
    As for calibration, this is useless for my machine I have tried to adjust the color.May be I will try after I get my second replacement.  Like u said every apple staff are trying to convince us this yellow screen is normal, if it was why the devices sold in store are not yellow ? They service mananger even told me that those sell in store now are the first batch of manufacturing and they are actually with defects but this yellow one are the second batch with improvement and it is better than the white on
    I also take my mac to a retail apple store for comparison just like the picture shown below the left one is a normal retina display and the yellow one on the right is my poor mac.

  • Why does Photoshop CC make my pictures blueish?

    When I open a picture in PS CC, it's sometimes a bit too yellowish. I edit it in Camera Raw, so it's just right. Not too blue, not too yellow. However, when I save this picture and view it on my laptop (same screen), it's more blue then I saw in Photoshop. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Stop and think about it. If your monitor is not calibrated (meaning you have no clue on what colors are incorrect) How can you adjust the colors of a picture? They could have been correct.
    Photoshop honors the color profile set for a monitor, some programs do not, so it is very possible to use the same monitor and have it look right in one program and not another.

  • Grainy Picture in iSight

    Howdy all
    Just a quick question, my iSight camera seems to give a particularly grainy picture. Noticed it when I set up iChat with my brother (he's on a MacBook) and his picture was remarkable better than mine. We were sitting across from one another in the same room, and even switched places in case it was simply bad lighting. not sure what the problem is really.
    Afraid I'm not sure how to post a picture in this forum so that you guys could have a look at what I'm talking about.
    Anyone had this problem before? Purchased the laptop approx 5 or 6 months ago.

    I have the same problem only this solution didn't work for me. The weird thing with my camera is that it was fine yesterday, but today the picture has a kind of yellowish, slightly mottled appearance.
    It's not application specific or user specific - already tried that.
    Anyone else had this?

  • Yellowish image taken with Lumia 920 Amber

    I've noticed this very recently.  I found that the pictures are yellowish. When I take a photo, it previews it for about 2 sec and then gets saved to Camera Roll. While the previewed image looks good and matches the view, the one getting saved is not the same. I noted that most photos I take are getting blurred and tinted with green and yellow inside Camera Roll. I don't know why this happens as the image looks perfectly on preview. At first, I thought it was a problem with Nokia Camera app but later found that the same happens for the default Camera app too.
    To prove this, I took screenshots of preview and made 3 side by side comparisons. They are given below and you can notice the change in colors and the sharpness between the preview and the original. And also the images taken using the front camera makes me a sick yellowish Simpson.
    These photos are in Auto Settings.
