• What is black and white and gray everywhere?

  I'm becoming an expert pre-press after an embarrassing error on a job that I sent to print last spring. All uppercase gray, lines and text boxes in the unable to print 12 pages newsletter. Bottom line, I sent the work to this printer from budget without conversion of RGB to CMYK, because she had been asked by the printer for the previous question.  The printer ate reprint costs about 200 information bulletins (probably because they felt they shared the responsibility for the error).  It is clear that I can't count on the directives of this printer.

  The other thing you need to know is I am Freelancer, an American working in Germany and I have no direct communication with the printer - the customer is the intermediary. I use Adobe Indesign CS4 version 6.0.6, on a MacbookPro OS x 10.6.8.  The next issue of the newsletter is now coming my way.

  The 12-page booklet is printed as follows:

  front and back cover on coated stock in 4 colours,

  inside front and back cover on coated stock in b & W,.

  and interiors 8 pages in b & W in uncoated stock.

  He had no problem printing of the previous edition, apart from the poor quality B & W photos and elements in grayscale in the inside pages. The only difference in the way I presented the second job was that I "converted" photos using layer effects in the appearance B & W, so I could better visualize how they would convert to grayscale (they stayed in the RGB color space).

  All I can conclude is that when the printer saw the photos n & B, he assumed that I had in fact everything in the inside pages converted to grayscale and therefore does not check the presence of the RGB color space. The gray text box and line items that were in RGB transformed to match the amounts of CMY, which translates to white and left the plate! I should have known that he was a risk, but I did not.

  Help me, if you understand what good practices will avoid such a mistake in the future. I have now read a lot of good resources on pre press, and I think now, I understand, but need to be reassured that I am on the right track.

  The newsletter will be printed, but will also be linked to a website for viewing online as well as distributed in a version as an attachment to e-mail low-resolution. So, I try to understand what should be my workflow.

  I should work in a RGB workflow until the client approves the work, then exit (a) using the PDF standard for offset printing CMYK to generate version to send to the printer. (b) then output another file using the PDF standard for the Web. and finally another using "smallest file size" for the distribution of electronic mail?

  In other words, if none of the color conversions must be made in native Photoshop files in InDesign, or rather they should occur during the conversion from PDF using an appropriate standard? Or do I convert in Photoshop images to use in the inside pages to grayscale images and all images to use on the front and back cover to CMYK before creating the PDF file?  This, of course, would require not make two sets of images, one for the print version and the other for display on the Web.

  Should I work with vector images and type in CMYK from the outset and keep my palette strictly in CMYK mode? Or should I work entirely in RGB and allow them to be converted to grayscale via PDF conversion?

  There is the related question of the help of the two coated vs uncoated, stock that the client wants to reduce costs. The black and white inside pages in uncoated stock gave less satisfactory results in the first two ballots. Despite my efforts to improve and clarify the pictures in Photoshop, most of the printed values much darker and less strong than the photos on the coating. The two-tone gray in the banner (vector) values have been radically different when seen by side on pages 2 and 3 and on pages 10 and 11.

  You can produce a PDF that has two modes of different output - coated stock for pages 1, 2, 11 and 12; and no coated stock for 3 to 10 pages?  This would solve the problem, or is there something more I should do with "Dot Gain" in my prepress that would solve this problem?

  Here are a few assumptions I've done so far, after gleaning information from various sources:

  1. I have put my Adobe Bridge color definition of Europe General Purpose 2 preferences for screen and print.
  2. I guess I should use a RGB workflow up to the last moment before being submitted to the printer (to maintain flexibility and activate the exit for muliple purposes, for example, print and Web versious).
  3. I should check the printer which PDF standard is compatible with its RIP and gives him more flexibility to make adjustments for its RIP so we get the best printing results.
  4. Should I choose a profile to control upstream, such as the VIGC Live Preflight profiles (Ghent PDF Workgroup) to identify any potential problems of conformity with space color, transparency, text in excess, bad fonts, cropping, etc. before conversion to PDF.

  Any advice you could offer would be appreciated.

  Hi Peter, my biggest frustration is I can't communicate with the printer - there is remote, no time to talk with clients and speaks German. All I can think to do is inform how professionally prepare the files, and then write (and translated) a note describing what I did as well as possible. At least I will have done my "due diligence" and if there are problems with the work, the responsibility will be on him, if he didn't read the memo, or ask me to fix everything that does not work for its workflow. I will be certainly work in two files, one for one (K only) for uncoated and coated.

  Peter Spier says:

  Said what Rob is OK, but I think in this case, given that the work, I think, goes on press and print on two different stocks, would probably prepare files for color on coated stock and the K-only on non-coated, but ask to the printer. Questions about the way they really want to receive your material to address them.

• HP vs15 went white and suddenly lost the loyalty of color

  My HP vs15 suddenly lost the color fidelity.  Now I'm stuck with bright white in places with no contrast and images not nice saturated colours.  I watched a movie and at the end, the monitor came to this disappointing State prior to this installation, things were perfect.

  Interestingly, when I push the "auto" button on the monitor things return to normal until the last stage of this process that makes whites too white and destroyed the fidelity of colors and contrasts,

  Mires and other look perfect when played on the screen even now.  Current usage, text and lines on a white background are weak or none existently readable.

  Is it possible to cancel this last step in the process of "auto" or to restore an excellent color fidelity my past?

  (The graphics card is a Geforce 615o BIOS 5.51.28.39.24)

  Thanks in advance.

  Michael Carakatsane

  The solution was that the free parameters of the GeForce graphics card had been changed by some software.  Locate these commands in the software taking in charge the card affected and corrects the image on the monitor.  I had to adjust the contrast and brightness of the graphics card.  With that, the color fidelity and the readablity of elements in the white area had returned to the normal.

• Start an adjustment with the whites and blacks?

  Martin Evening in CS6 for photographers recommend to adjust an image with exposure, contrast, and then fine tune with the shadows and highlights. Explains the use of whites and blacks only if necessary. Julieanne Kost has a pithy video on cab in which she begins by setting the white and black (which dates back to the advice of Bruce Fraser / Real World Photoshop using levels in Photoshop). http://TV.Adobe.com/watch/Photoshop-CS6-featuretour/Adobe-camera-raw-70-in-Photoshop-CS6/

  I know that I can see what works best for an image, etc.. Ask yourself what is the recommended procedure.

  I could write reams about it. Have already done.

  I will however keep this short (for me) and let someone else take a better stab.

  It is wrong to think of controls PV2012 as being something like those of other publishers.

  The bottom line: give the picture adaptations she needs, whatever you start with.

  So perhaps a better question is: How do we know what adjustments needs a photo in PV2012?

  (I warned people against trying to arrive at a single procedure that will work for all photos)

  That's all for now.

  OK, maybe a quicky:

  No matter what start you with, try to keep clear 0 or negative, shadows 0 or positive and shadows value exactly equal to the value of highlights. Once you have the photo in the ballpark in this way, no matter how you juggled exhibition & white..., then and only then, consider asymmetric values of lights and shadows.

  WARNING: this "formula" works on 90% of the photos, not 100 percent. Or it could be 0% (or 100%) depending on what you're shooting...

  Okay, I can't resist:

  Most of the pictures can be edited in this way:

  * Most critical exposure setting

  * Use - highlights for container of the upper extremity

  * Use + shadows to normalize the lower end

  * The difference in taste.

  * - black & + white to make full use of the available tonal range.

  But at the other extreme, there are these:

  * Exhibition but still critical,

  * puts in light and shadows of the sliders do not hit the sweet spots: leave at zero.

  * Use - white & + blacks for recovery & fill, respectively.

  * You may very well push contrast, although it is an image too contrasted initially. Or not...

  And then there's a whole series of photos which sit somewhere between the two...

  Confusing? Yes. PV2012 is great, but delicate and requires a completely different way of thinking and a flexible 'procedure'...

  Note: Highlights slider going positive, and cursor shadows going negative also, independently of the highlights slider for a reason. But their use in this way should be reserved for unusual cases of raw or refine already cooked jpegs, or you really know what you are doing and why you...

  One last point is critical: exhibition in PV2012 sets mainly mid-level tones, that is why it is the most critical: highlights, contrast, shadows, all hinges on a suitable exposure setting.

  Black & White adjustment are probably the biggest keys for optimal fit in PV2012, but they are more difficult to nail down, because their adaptation depends strongly on the photo, but maybe a golden rule to be broken:

  * - black & white if possible, for punchy complete histogram photos +...

  * + Black & - White tones tend to gang to the extreme endpoints of the gases, such as highlights & shadows adjustment do not understand... (or you prefer the softer look that can come, or else...).

  WARNING: This is a personal thing, and probably different people different things that work best for them...

  PS - Don't forget the curve of tone & inhabitants after basic setting (can be done over too, but it is not recommended until you have acquired sufficient experience).

• Thunderbird 38 does not work properly: constant 'white and black '.

  After the 38.1.0 update version I have recurring problems with "whites and blacks". When I write a new email to suddenly white or black, I am looking for emails, the email list going in white or black (back after a certain time, or not), sometimes I can't even pass my coursor anywhere on the emails because only then go in part, Yes, white or black. I have already disabled add-ons/plugins, it did not help. is it repairable? If this isn't the case, someone could walk me through the steps to return to the old version 31.7.0 (it was almost fine, with more bearable bugs). My laptop: Lenovo Thinkpad W520.

  First, make sure that your graphics driver is up to date.
  Confirm the driver is up to date.

  Re; I have already disabled add-ons/plugins, it did not help.
  I presume you mean you restarted Thunderbird using safe.
  Help > restart with disabled addons.
  If it did not offer any changes then disable the exceleration material.
  Confirm Thunderbird safe mode not offered no change.

  Tools > Options > advanced > general tab
  or
  Menu icon > Options > Options > advanced > general tab
  Uncheck the "use hardware acceleration when available.
  Click OK

  Restart thunderbird.
  retest for whites and blacks.
  Confirm if this solves the problem.

  Please report on the results of each test.

• Satellite L300-PSLB8E - screen becomes all white and the laptop freezes

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite L300 PSLB8E. I initially bought with Windows Vista already installed on it. After a few years, I changed the operating system Windows 7 Ultimate. I installed the display and all the other necessary drivers (that is, sound, network, etc.).

  After I installed Windows 7, when I use the laptop for a while, the screen becomes all white and the laptop hangs. This happens spontaneously. Sometimes, in less than 10 minutes and other times that it can work perfectly for hours. I checked for loose batteries and other components, but everything seems fine.

  Physical damage only that there is a tiny crack on the screen in the bottom right of the screen. The operating system is not good? If I put windows Vista back as it was?

  Please advise and help understand me what the problem is with the laptop.

  Until we start discussion can you tell me what you do when this happen?
  Hard stop and restart?
  Is everything OK again when you do?

  It is not easy to say what exactly is the problem, but I put t think there is problem with OS and preinstalled display driver. A long time ago I installed Win7 Home Premium on friends L300 and it works perfectly.

  What you can try is to use the external monitor for a while and see if everything works well. If so, there is no problem with the operating system, drivers or graphics card. It may be that the display problem.

• Satellite A200-1AX (PSAE6E) - S-Video picture black, white and rolling

  I purhcased my A200 Satellite on my last trip abroad when I was away from the USA.

  Recently I tried to play a movie via s-video on my Sony TV purchased USA. The image is black and white and hilly. I have updated, updated and done everything possible for computers and readers. I tried an another Toshiba identical to mine, but was bought in the USA. It worked fine and all colors.

  Any help is appreciated.

  Hello

  I had the same problem a few months ago, and the reason was an S-video cable defective. As far as I know it was a very good cable too and I went to the store of the computer purchased a high-quality S-video cable. It was a little more expensive, but it works perfectly!
  Check it!

  In addition, you should check the output signal from the S-video port and the input on your TV mode. If you use NTSC, you have to set this mode, otherwise use the PAL mode.

  Good bye

• Satellite P10: clouds white and purple fading across the screen during startup

  I had problems with my laptop PC-10 so I bought a new hard drive (Fujitsu 60 GB instead of 40 GB) standard and have it myself. I was working very well with it for a long time, until suddenly I have had the strangest problem that I've ever seen on a computer...

  Sometimes, when you start the laptop, instead of the screen normal red "TOSHIBA" and the message to start Windows XP, the laptop displays simply little weird white and purple clouds fading across the screen, fading finally on a screen very dark, but not quite black.

  I thought first it was a problem with the DVD player, like when he finally gave and started normally, the DVD drive has been disabled. However, I noticed in the BIOS, under "Advanced" the Infrared Port shows intermittently - it shows with the [Disabled] setting next to him, but will be then disappear from the list, then reappear again and then go again and so on.

  Sometimes my computer will function normally, then completely shut (mouse and all) and will restart with the clouds!

  I looked in the Windows Event Viewer for when the laptop has locked up and have seen anything to do with a problem with IRQS for the Infrared Port. I disabled the infrared port in Device Manager (I managed to activate in the BIOS by loading the standard BIOS settings) and rebooted, but it started upward with the clouds once again, so I have the feeling that the infrared port is the culprit - loose connection may be defective material because it is located close to the DVD player and HD player.

  I was wondering if anyone has seen something like this before on any computer, and if they knew how to solve? It seems completely illogical that a defective IR port could change what is displayed on the screen on startup, unless of course there is something wrong with my HD boot sector?

  Any ideas?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I've never seen like this problem before and I don't think that this issue has something to do with the HARD drive or the IrDA port.
  As much as I know the IrDA port is not available on Satellite P10 - xxx

  For me, this looks like a faulty screen or graphics card.
  Have you tried to connect the external display? If this isn't the case, then try to do and check if it also appears on the external display.

  I recommend also to recover the laptop with Toshiba Recovery CD and then check the functionality.
  But if the malfunction appears so I would recommend contacting the Toshiba ASP for control from laptop
