• Help diagnosing problem of color management - windows 7, CS3, Eye - one display 2

  Hello

  I had my color management, all set up and working on my old laptop and then stupidly, I got a new laptop and am completely default get things straight.

  The new laptop (Asus N56VM with Nvidia GT 630 M) is running Windows 7... I calibrated the screen using my Pantone eye - one display-two (X-Rite) and right now, it's much better to the eye. I calibrate native white point which I always do with laptops.

  I used the following procedure to load the profile at the start of Windows 7 and removed the GretagMacbeth tool that tries to do the same thing:

  http://www.laszlopusztai.NET/2009/08/23/stop-losing-display-calibration-with-Windows-7/

  Everything looks great except when I try to use anything with color management.

  For example. Pictures of my old was gorgeous in Adobe Bridge, until I enabled through its settings color management and all of a sudden they have terrible air - sky blues turn turquoise.

  If I open a file labeled sRGB in photoshop it looks the same - terrible (to help keep an embedded profile and with a workspace Adobe 1998 color settings)

  Only way I can get images of normal appearance in Photoshop is open then ASSIGN the monitor profile to the image (I know that it is meaningless to do so and is in no way a work around)... and it looks great.

  Something isn't right somewhere, but don't know where to start looking because there are so many variables. Can anyone suggest a route to investigate based on what I have said so far?  It's driving me crazy!

  I took a quick glance to your profile...  I don't have that much experience analyzing devices of the user profiles, but it seems a little odd for me, compared to others that I watched.  Maybe Chris Cox can comment as I know he has a few more sophisticated profile analysis tools.

  Examples: Look where the dye red, green and blue tags fall:

  

  

  

  I think that this profile, for some reason, was created correctly or with essentially false information.  I don't know why that would be.

• Programs that have stopped responding are driving me crazy

  Please help me in one last attempt make this usable computer until I have spend money on replacement.

  I had a 1 year (see guarantee) Thinkpad E530 Windows 7 64 bit. It has a 2.5 Ghz Intel i5, 4 GB RAM and Intel HD Graphics 3000. I'm running MSE for antivirus. On paper, it must be able to manage everything that I do on a daily basis. The CPU (usually less than 10%) and the use of the memory of agreement, my hardware is apparently barely stretched by why I do it.

  However, it is slowly driving me crazy. The computer is able to run smoothly in some applications (right now that I am typing for example), but any time I try to change gears by opening a web page or by clicking on a menu in MS Word, the program goes unresponsive for 3-10 seconds. According to what I do, this could happen every 10 to 20 seconds but seems to be worse when a program opens at the outset. May not seem like much, but after months of this, I feel like I spent years of my life waiting for this computer to "not blocked" himself.

  I did a clean install of Windows, run diagnostics on the hard drive, tried to determine priorities in Process Explorer and twisted options in different programs, nothing done. I still often have to look at the small blue circle.

  I'll run any Diagnostics you want, display information on my machine, you name it. If you can make this computer the stutter constantly, I will be eternally grateful.

  Thank you

  Bill;

  This is probably not your problem, but it could be a part. If you leave a CD/DVD in the optical drive of computers, they should "launch" and be read to any operation involving the Explorer (aka file operations). This can create some "latency time" which makes your computer appear to "stall" before it happens on what you asked it to do. External USB HDD can cause the same effect to a lesser degree than their playing time is faster than an optical drive.
  You specifically mentioned opening Word as problematic. Try to open in the start menu by typing winword.exe/Safe. Word opens in SafeMode without macros or add-ins. If the word snaps to attention, look what add-ins you have installed, and what you can live without. Disabling or uninstalling necessary add-ins you open Word as an administrator in order to get the privileges required for uninstall.
  On a related note, you might want to look in ReadyBoost. I never use the card reader on my Dell E6410 (with a material similar to yours) so I got a 32 GB SD card and half devoted to ReadyBoost and redirected %tmp% and temporary Internet files in the other half. Now open any office application is instead of restoring from being reduced to a minimum opening the menu start. Note that ReadyBoost on a card reader or USB is more effective when you access many small files. There are many less improved access to a few large files. After initially installing a ReadyBoost drive, you will see an improvement and it gets better as ReadyBoost 'learn' programs and processes access you most frequently. Reformat the SD card dedicated to a NTFS file system also helps.
  Do not confuse ReadtBoost with ReadyBoot. HTH.

• New color management problem causing graphics adapter

  My graphics card has failed and I just replaced it with a new Radeon 9800 Pro graphics card. Now all the pictures, I open. VINTAGE. JPG. TIF, are devastated. They seem to be more saturated. This incorrect color is the same in Photoshop CS3, Bridge, and Lightroom beta 3. However if I bring the same photo in ACDSee, Viewer Windows, or Photoshop and Bridge from my laptop to the color is correct. If I bring a photo with the oversaturated colors and do a 'save for web' preview of the photo has the correct colors. Crazy! Color management is set for North American prepress 2. I so far totally deleted CS3 and reinstalled and downloaded the latest display drivers for the graphics card. Anyone have any ideas?

  .. because your display profile is incorrect.

  Photoshop uses the display profile.

  ACDSee is ignoring the display profile (so what you see there probably is not really correct, which you get to see in a non color application).

  Most applications ignore the display profile and no color is displayed correctly.

• Is my monitor - LCD Samsung 172 T - too Bright color manage?

  Following the generous advice of forum members, I decided to invest in a colorimeter to properly profile my monitor which is a Samsung LCD 172 T.

  However, I read several messages in the forum about monitor light problems. For example - that a monitor should be less than 120 cd/mr2 brightness level to display the appropriate image, and some saying that they cannot set their monitor LCD low light enough.

  According to the specifications of my monitor my brightness of the monitor is 250 cd/mr2.  My screen is too bright for a camera of colorimeter to profile correctly?

  For a colorimeter device I was considering the eye - one display 2 or the spyder 2 or 3.

  Hi, Tom.

  As crazy as it sounds, the manuals which came with two of my monitors absolutely NOTHING say about levels of brightness, max, or min.  I can tell you almost anything else you want to know.  My guess is that you won't have a problem.

  Normally, you enter your target settings (white gamma temp, color, monitor luminance, if your software, black and luminance) in your calibration and profiling software and the software then you guide. On most LCD monitors except the most expensive, you really only have an analog control... the brightness of the backlight. The software will ask you reduce the brightness to the desired level and gives you the information when you are there.

  Once the brightness of the monitor is together (IE, white luminance), with that software will display a bunch of spots of color values, and your colorimeter read one by one.  When it's done, he'll write corrections to your video card which will adjust to your screen to satisfy your target values and give you accurate color.  It's all part of the calibration.

  Then, it will create a profile that describes the range of colors of your screen (limits), etc. Your profile will include a color lookup table or a set of color curves appropriate in any application of color management (Photoshop, LightRoom, etc.).

  Calibration is automatically saved on your video card and should remain active until your next calibration of the monitor (make every 2-4 weeks for true colors). The profile will be in the default folder where all your ICC profiles, which differs according to the o/s.

  If you cannot reduce the luminance of a correct level, you can download a software that will do it for you.  I didn't need or use this software with one of my Samsung monitors.

• suddenly I'm asking as a new tab and not google search - driving me crazy

  Ask the home page is driving me crazy. I want my google search customary as that which opens when I press on the new tab. I was everywhere on the internet to try to fix this. nothing works.

  Since there are different options/settings of the standard page in a new window or a new tab, could you confirm if you have one or two of these problems:

  • Ask if poster at the start, in a new window (Cmd + n), and when you click the Home button
  • Ask appears when you open a new tab in the same window (Cmd + t)

  For these two problems, the first thing to check is an unwanted extension. You can view, disable and often remove the extensions on page modules. Either:

  • CMD + SHIFT + a (Windows: Ctrl + Shift + a)
  • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

  In the left column, click Extensions. Then take a critical look at the extensions listed on the right side. If in doubt, disable or remove if possible. Remember that all extensions are optional, none come with Firefox.

  Often, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

  Which allows you to regain control of your homepage and view the standard Firefox new tab page?

  If so, here are the details on how to restore your preferred homepage:

  • Startup, homepage, tabs and download settings
  • How to set the home page

  If you find that it works in your session (Cmd + n and give you good home page), but after leaving Firefox and commissioning once again you have bad home page, look for an optional settings file named user.js in your profile (personal settings folder) folder. Firefox uses the settings in this file at startup to override your preferences since the previous session. You can check and delete the file by following the steps in this article: How to fix preferences that will not save (there is a specific section on the user.js files).

  Display Google in a new tab page requires a different approach. From Firefox 41, the browser.newtab.url parameter is no longer used because it was constantly attacked by malware. Now, you need an add-on to change the new tab page.

  Here are a few options (I'm learning more all the time):

  • If you are already using the "Restorer of classic theme" or "Tab Mix Plus" extension: There is an option somewhere (!) in his dialogues of the parameters to select another page in the new tab.
  • If you want to use your new tab homepage: Try https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/
  • If you want to set another page or a completely blank page: Try https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-override/
  • If you want the cursor to move in a search box in the page: Try https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/custom-new-tab/

  Use only one of these methods at the same time, otherwise there may be conflicts and dysfunctions.

  Setting up substitute new tab and new tab custom

  After installing one of these extensions, you must use the Options page to set the new desired tab page (instead of use subject: config).

  Open the page modules using either:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + a (Mac: Cmd + shift + a)
  • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

  In the left column, click Extensions. Then on the side right, find the new tab replace or custom new tab and click on the Options button. (See first screenshot attached).

  New tab Override

  Depending on the size of your screen, you may need to scroll down to enter the address in the form. (See second screenshot attached). For example:

  • (Default) page thumbnails = > subject: newtab
  • Blank tab = > subject: empty
  • Built-in Firefox homepage = > topic: welcome
  • Any other page = > full URL of the page

  Then tab or click this form field and you can test using Ctrl + t.

  Custom new tab

  It is easy to enter your favourite homepage address. If you check either of the boxes, the expansion will set the focus in the page as well, for example, the cursor will be in the Google search box. (See third screenshot attached). I had to leave Firefox and start it up again before new custom tab started working, but this may have been due to tests so many extensions back to back.

  Success?

  Hello

  Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in Flash Player settings. (See this article for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).

  To turn off hardware acceleration in Flash Player:

  1. Go to the Adobe Flash Player help page.
  2. Right-click on the Flash Player logo on this page.
  3. Click settings on the shortcut menu. The Adobe Flash Player settings screen opens.
  4. Click the icon in the lower left of the Adobe Flash Player settings window to open the display panel.
     
     

     

  5. Remove the enable hardware accelerationcheck box.
  6. Click close to close the Adobe Flash Player settings window.
  7. Restart Firefox.

  This Flash Player help - display settings page contains more information about the Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you are interested.

• Why do you put a restriction on facebook in my browser not recognized as its driving me crazy. His facebook and bigger than anything

  recently I noticed that when I log on facebook there is an icon near the lock of the top bar which restricts Facebook. you tell her not to work on every page on fb, connect you to. Facebook is so great and yet it says the icon is there as the https for facebook is not recognized as a place sure enough site. how ridiculous. its as big as the planet facebook. Firefox can solve this problem and remove and accommodate somehow better facebook because if this is not fixed I have to go to use google chrome and I don't want to. its driving me crazy. Thank you

  This thread is a bit confusing! I'll try to summarize.

  Block some content unsecured to secured pages is a trend; I think that Internet Explorer has done this for a while.

  Content integrated into the pages of Facebook is supposed to have already a secure URL, according to developer FB, but that is not running or this problem would not exist. I hope over time this problem will disappear.

  For now, you can use the extension of the toggle joint active content quickly turn your unsecured on and outside content protection. This is a global setting, not site specific, so it's best to leave it on as much as possible.

  After installing the extension, you should find a new icon in the bar of the add-on: an 'A' on a green or red square. Green means Firefox protects you, and red, that it is not.

  If the icon is not in the bar of the add-on (which you can also show or hide by pressing Ctrl + /), you may need to drag it out of the Customize dialog box and drop it in a perfect location. You can open it using one of these:

  • Right click on a zone empty of the tab bar > customize
  • Press the Alt key > menu view > toolbars > customize

  You can get configured as you wish?

• The new tab behavior is driving me crazy. It keeps re-centering on legs closest to the top of the list when I move a tab. How can I change this?

  The new tab behavior is driving me crazy. It keeps re-centering on legs closest to the top of the list when I move a tab. How can I change this?

  I don't want to download an application. I would rather add a new string in any config or just change those there to false. It makes my life as a rather hard work, to be forced to go all the way back at the end of my list after you move a tab just to have to do it again. I mean it's to the point where I could consider changing browsers if they had tab scrollbars.

  Edit: Now I will download any application. Please stop this stupid feature.

  I downloaded the beta version and it stopped. Thank you all for trying to help anyway. I probably didn't explain my problem very well in the first place, but you tried to help him. Thank you.

• Pavilion 14-n204sf: Radeon 8670 current driver does not allow for color management

  Hi, this is my first post on the forum. The problem, I do face is quite simple: after I've updated 8670 M Radeon driver for my computer in August I immediately found that color management system was not working. Cannot use an ICC profile, impossible to calibrate a monitor (I tried X-Rite and the built-in Windows, both failed tool), any feature dealing with color management had simply disappeared from my machine and was replaced by an error message - aaargh!

  At the time I found that all the problems have disappeared as soon as I rolled back the Radeon driver to the previous (IE. July 2015) pilot and learned how Windows 10 not not trying the upgrade of this driver more. Of course, the problem was caused by a major bug in the new driver, but a simple tunraround should just continue to use the previous driver. So far so good.

  But now things have only become worse. Due to a problem with a software, I tried to find the current driver Radeon, which turned out to be the dreaded August version, with the result the same mess as before. When I tried to roll back this driver again for the July version working, I had the very bad surprise as (1) "Roll back driver" in the control panel is gray now as if there was no previous version, and (2) it is not possible to find the version of June on the website of HP - or elsewhere also.

  So: How/where can I get the driver of 8670 M Radeon dated July 6, 2015, so I can use my computer for my work in photography again? I can't believe that it is not possible.

  And of course, I have a second question: how is it that no new version of the driver has been released since August to set a such obvious flaw? I hope that someone will take the time to solve the problem and deliver a pilot fully working soon.

  Thank you very much in advance for your help.

  HI @jlb21,

  Thank you for your inquiry.

  I understand that when you install the graphics driver updated for Radeon 8670 M in August you have lost your color management system did not work.  Once you cancelled the driver in the device manage everything was good again.

  Because of a software problem, you must reinstall this driver. When you checked the Device Manager there is only the version of the driver available August and you do not have a roll back driver option.

  You can try to uninstall the driver and then search for the driver, try a Windows driver if available to determine if it would help.

  As you have 10 Windows installed I don't know if you still have the recovery partition. If not and you have recovery media, you can try following the steps described in the following document.

  Computers HP - using Recovery Manager to restore the software and drivers (Windows 8)

  If the driver in question was provided with your original operating system and you have no support for recovery, you can get a kit of HP support recovery.    You can ask if they can check if all drivers have been updated on the recovery kit that I don't know.  I don't know if they can verify this information, but it does not hurt to ask?

  Please contact HP to Contact HP Supportassistance.

  Please let me know the results.

• Satellite A210-171 - how to check the color management

  I work with the software digital painter on my laptop (satellite A210-171)
  Because my colors are not the same when printed (with the help of a printer of Dell A.I.O.) told me to check my Colour Management on laptop.

  I go to control panel and click on color management
  Then I see a generic PnP monitor - when I click on the drop down menu next to it I found that my printer is listed.

  What should I do next?

  As stated in my other ads, I know only a teeny weeny bit about the computer so please if someone is kind enough to answer, step by step instructions gratefully appreciate

  Sue

  > If there is someone who can fix this error please do, so I hope that I will get an answer to the question
  Why you n t he correct yourself? You can change the own message!
  But it looks like someone already did

  I guess that your laptop uses the ATI graphics card. So, the ATI Catalyst Control Center should be available.
  Usually, you can set some parameters of color in ATI Catalyst Control Center-> color

• Re: What update display driver affect color management settings?

  Hi all!

  I received a message on the new update of the display driver and I have a few doubts about the installation. When I installed an update of the BIOS driver, all the parameters of the BIOS returns the value default ones, but in this case, it wasn't a big deal to put once again according to my needs. But I spent, probably, half a day, adjusting the color using color management, and I really want to keep the settings I've done. So, please, tell me, if updating the nVidia driver assigns these parameters and if there is no way to save them? Thank you very much!

  Hello

  If you install a graphics card driver, your bet will be set by default. To be honest, I see no reason to update the drivers if the system works well. I always use the same drivers that I downloaded before and do not update again. On the backup of the settings, I don't know how to do it. Anyway, I've never thought about this.

  You are welcome, if have any other questions.

• Cannot access the options of color management for HP 6700 Mac OS 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion)

  Hello.

  I have the HP Officejet 6700 Premium e-all-in-one, and I can't find any way to access the color management options.

  The printer is attached (Wi - Fi) to my iMac Mac OS 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion).

  I want to correct a magenta cast for the photos I printed.  I had the problem of magenta-cast in Lightroom and use Preview to print the photos, so now I want to work with color profiles in Photoshop Elements.

  Photoshop Elements is recommended I have 'disable color management in the printer Preferences dialog box.

  However, I am not able to find for the 6700 color management preferences in settings under Mountain Lion:

  Not sub (Apple) > System Preferences > print & Scan.

  Not sub (HP utility) > Open Embedded Web Server.

  Not sub (HP utility) > the printer settings.

  Non-print preview dialog.

  I can't find any clear directions in the online help (HP or elsewhere) that I've read so far.

  Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

  Thank you!

  Hello

  Thanks for the reply and the screen shot.

  The first thing I want to do you is to reset the printing system.
  OS X Mavericks: reset the printing system

  Then add the printer, however when it by adding not just click on the name of printers, click Add printer or a scanner. Make sure that the 'use' is set to the printer and not Airprint.
  If it is displayed as Airprint, you will be missing feautres compared to the actualy printers driver.

  After that, I'll provide you know several documents that you may find useful to perform this task.
  Documents from HP:

  Apple documents:

  Document from CNET:

  I know some say 10.6, but they give you a reference and the idea, trying to do what you are.
  Please let me know if that helps.

• Double color management?

  Every time that I try to photographs of printing on the Canon 100 pro printer using an ICC profile color management and software I have prints with a magenta color cast. I believe that this is due to double color management?
