im not very computer therefore answers in plain English please! Thanks, Jules

Hi Julie,.

1. is the issue limited to the pictures on your computer?

2. make the computer desktop and other screens come well?

3. what program do you use to see the pictures?

4 did you changes in the program before the show?

If the question is limited to viewing photos, you can use a different program for the same thing and see if the problem persists. You can use Windows Live Photo Gallery.

  • Cannot select the color of gray background

    When I use the eyedropper tool to select the color of gray background with illustrator he defined that as the color of the shape it makes some weird greenish gray color. The box in the screenshot should be the same color as the background, but it is not.

    After spending some more time troubleshooting, I found the solution. It was indeed a problem with the color on my computer management. I had, some time ago, set up a second display screen, but it turned off because need to concentrate on two monitors always has been disrupting my work flow. One was on a digital input, the second was on an analog input. Although I disabled the other monitor on my computer display settings, color management profile was still set to analog display, and so it was the analogue display on a digital input. I disconnected the second monitor completely and made sure color management profile has been set to digital. Now, all the colors are correct as well as profiles of colors on Illustrator.

    Thank you all for your time and your help.

  • Color management - OK to set monitor color sRGB profile?

    Is there any problem if I set my monitor color profile for sRGB and Photoshop recognizes this and I use ProPhoto RGB as my workspace in Photoshop?

    Background:

    I got a general problem with color management where my pictures looked darkest in Photoshop then my Windows Photo Viewer by default or in Adobe Bridge.

    I did some research and finally fseemed to solve the problem, but I'm not sure on any of my settings.

    I use Windows XP, and the first great help came through a panel of color that you can download from Microsoft.

    Here is the link: http://www.microsoft.com/prophoto/downloads/colorcontrol.aspx

    This utillity adds a panel color settings that you can access through the control panel. It's main characteristics are that it allows you to assign color profiles to devices, such as your monitor or printer.

    I'm using Photoshop CS4.  If you open the color settings dialogue box and look under the section workspaces, you can choose your workspace for RGB in the drop-down list. From my research, and since I'm editing photos, I concluded that choose Adobe RGB or ProPhoto RGB is a good choice.

    Also on this drop-down list, there is a choice called Monitor RGB. From my research, the opinion is that you should not set that as your RGB working space. However, a tip I've met is that if you look at the Monitor RGB choice it will tell what Photoshop is grateful as color of your monitor profile. For example, it will say 'Monitor RGB - Dell 217'

    Now, after the installation of the utility of color of Windows I am now able to define the color for my monitor profile. What I put is then recognized by Photoshop if I see it on this list.

    Specifically, in my utility of color I set my monitor to use the sRGB color space. Now when I go into Photoshop and color Setings and go dialog where you set the RGB workspace, I click the menu drop down and the list will be "Monitor RGB - sRGB IEC61966 - 2.1.»

    Note: I did not choose this as my RGB color space, I will just here to check what Photoshop is to see with regard to my color space of the monitor. I put it to my RGB color space to ProPhoto RGB.

    My monitor is a monitor de LCD Samsung 172 T.  Regarding the calibration of the monitor, I don't have access to a colorimeter device. From my research, I have found that by using the calibrator of software called Adobe Gamma is not designed to calibrate or profile LCD monitors.

    What I did: I use a graphics card based on nVidia with a control panel. The Control Panel has a display optimization tool. I used.

    Once again, my question-

    In the utility of windows color, I put my monitor color profile to sRGB. Was it the right choice?

    I have set to another profile that I have available called "Samsung 172 T."  But I do not know from which it came. Not sure if it was generated using Adobe Gamma a few years back, or the manufacturer.

    When I went to that profile my screen gets darker. Note: when I turn on in the Windows color configuration utility, then go in Photoshop, I can see in the color settings dialog box it now says "Monitor RGB - Samsung 172 T.

    I know that if I had a calibrator type colorimeter I would be able to generate an accurate profile for my monitor. In this case, you would set your monitor to this profile, rather than sRGB?

    Tom,

    Unless you have a crap monitor which is incapable of contoured with precision, never set your monitor profile to an independent color space of the device as sRGB.

    Calibrate your monitor with precision, regularly and often and use the monitor resulting as your dependent monitor of the device profile.

  • (Dell LCD) screen goes blank when I connect. Requires the switching on of the screen on and outside

    (Dell LCD) screen goes blank when I connect.  Requires power to the power on and off screen, at least 15 to 20 times before picture stays on.  Any suggestions? No to the problem site so don't have the model numbers.  Dell computer and about 8 years.

    Looks like your monitor is having problems sync-ing for the resolution settings that you have defined for your monitor.  When you get your screen is displayed, right-click on an empty area of your desktop-> properties-> (tab) settings.

    Then, in the 'Screen Resolution' area, try to move the cursor to the end of 'Less' and click 'apply '.  It will then try to change to this new resolution.  If your screen is empty for now, just wait about 30 seconds and it will return to the previous resolution (which can mean that you need to power cycle your monitor you have done to get it back)-otherwise accept the settings if your display looks OK.  Try to find a solution that works with your monitor.  It is also possible that your monitor is going bad.

    HTH,

  • monitor color off after switching on computer monitors.

    White appears blue in a large number of programs (Photoshop, illustrator, etc) and it seems harder to read things on the monitor. Is there a way to configure the color on the monitor settings so that it works? I can't pass the monitors. It is a dell monitor that I use.

    Try 'right click' on a zone empty of your desktop and select properties and see if there is any option in there that can help you (or if you have a specific graphics card software) and sometimes the screen itself has a menu system and will allow you to modify the "temperature".

    I hope this helps.

  • H243H monitor not coming back when it is turned off with the touch Monitor

    Monitor works fine when connected to my laptop. When it is connected to my desktop Dell Dimension 8250 monitor will not return with monitor power button. Must turn off the computer, and then click again to get monitor comes back on. Computer is a video controller ATI 9700 Raseon

    I thought it would be the computer. But the old Dell Monitor works fine on it. Map of Radion sees the Acer monitor, shows even the model #. I set Acer as primary monitor too because Dell is not connected.

    Just tried with a VGA cable instead of a DVI cable. It works!  Incredible. I used a cable DVI with old Dell monitr OK. I tried 2 different cables DVI so I know it wasn't a bad cable. When I connected to my laptop Acer \d hae it is with an HDMI cable.  Must be something with the Acer he dislikes DVI

    Auto config on Acer also works now. He did nothing when using a DVI cable.

    It is therefore a question of compatibility of age. But it's more recent monitor like older cable.

  • Samsung and Dell monitor questions

    Hello:
    I had a given PC new and works fine, but when I hooked up with monitor with Samsung, a floating message popping up in the middle of the screen... "Not optimum mode, recommended 1280 x 1024 60 Hz Mode" and the screen empties a few minutes later. When I tested with another monitor with Dell, there are no floating message and gets a good quality screen that shows the Dell monitor is compatible not compatible Samsung to PC refurbished.

    Monitor Samsung was hooked with two different PC KVM switch, and no problem with them.

    Is there a way for me to do the given PC replacement compatible with monitors, "Dell" and "Samsung"?

    Thanks for any help in advance.

    "" floating"message popping up in the middle of the screen"

    "Not optimum mode, recommended 1280 x 1024 60 Hz Mode '"

    Your Samsung monitor is a type of format of 4:3 image, that's why she asked '1280 x 1024 60 Hz '.

    Your video card is NOT defined for it. How to change the settings:

    See above with the Dell connected monitor. Set it to 1280 x 1024 at 60 Hz, and then connect the Samsung monitor and see what happens...

  • Photoshop does not recognize the monitor color space

    I have a screen that supports Adobe RGB color space, but when I try to open a picture saved in this color space it tells me that my workspace supports sRGB IEC... and so wonder if I want to change the color on the picture profile or keep. Can it be because its only on the calibration in the factory and the first I need to recalibrate using a calibration device? I have tryied to use google, but in fact I was not yet able to formulate it to search correctly and only found nothing that could help me.  I use the BenQ sw2700 monitor if it helps.
