My monitor is calibrated with Spyder2. Every time when I start Photoshop and open file (new or existing) my calibration info is gone. I have to apply color calibration for my monitor again. Why Photoshop resets my monitors color calibration info and how can I avoid this?
View 10 RepliesThere is an vast amount of information on this topic, that topic being LCD monitor calibration. Some LCD have presets, theater, games, etc. I want to calibrate my LCD so that if someone else is viewing my work on their monitor and they complain it is too light or to dark, I can say it is your monitor.
One of my LCD has two presets that are of interest 'standard' & 'sRGB' my other LCD doesn't have any presets. What is the best or near best calibration I can manually set both monitors too, if this is even possible on LCD.
I was wondering what people were using for a calibration tool for monitors. This is not my profession so I am not looking to spend $500+ on a calibration tool but it seems like there is some fairly good units out there for under $300.

i recently performed monitor calibration with spyeder4pro.
The problem: on Photoshop with my calibrated monitor the pictures looks worm and colorful on my iPhone or i pad the same pictures looks cold and colorless .
I have recently bought a new Sony LCD screen and would like to know the procedure to calibrate it so that what I visually see on the screen matches - as faithfully as possible - what I get out of my printer.... Is it possible or am I asking too much? I tried to calibrate the monitor by the gamma utility that comes with PS 7 but the sliders that I have to move to calibrate the screen are stationary and wouldn't move.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have had three computers using Photoshop (both PC and Mac) using both Epson and HP printers. The color calibration was not perfect on any of those setups but close enough were only minor tweaks were needed between the monitor and printer output.
My new Mac G5 and Epson R1800 however is WAY off. The colors on my images are coming out extremely saturated. I am in RGB mode. Does anyone have any ideas why this should be so far off and, if so, what I can do to correct it without going to a complete calibration procedure.
what software do you use to calibrate your monitor, for it to accurately show the colors intended for printouts?
i'm currently using Samsung 2032MW for my PS work, have not really tried calibration software before.

View 6 Replies View RelatedWhen I open JPEGS or RAW images in photoshop they have a dull, flat color to them. This is happening after recently buying a NEW PA271W wide-gamut display and calibrating it using Spectraview 2. It doesn't matter whether I have the Working Space in PS set to Adobe RGB or sRGB under color settings... The only way I can make my image look normal is to go under settings and ASSIGN PROFILE to Adobe RGB. It looks fine then. I could live with that, except the bigger problem is that I begin my editing process in RAW, where the colors are also looking flat. The best I can tell, there is no way to assign a profile at this stage...
I've been working in photoshop many years and I do know that RAW images have a 'flatter' appearance to being with, but this is something completely different. For example, when I slide photoshop onto my other monitor next to it (I have multiple monitors) - the color reverts to the normal color I want . And if I then slide photoshop back onto my new NEC monitor, the normal color actually stays intact for about two seconds, then reverts back to the dull color. So I am unable to begin my work process in RAW since the colors are wrong. Also, I know that my new monitor is capbable of displaying my images in their proper colors because when I use any of several different image viewers I have - irfanview, etc. - everything is fine. It's only in photoshop.
I just purchased a new monitor, and when I opened up elements 12 it asked me if i wanted to correct my colour profile. I said yes, and now all whites on that monitor are displayed as a sepia like yellow colour. When I move photoshop to my other monitor, the image displays fine. Its not an issue with the monitor, as b&w images in other applications display well.

So I am looking for a monitor calibrator which will automatically set brightness and contrast. Contrary to popular opinion, I am not concerned with color accuracy. My experience has been that the ICC IEC 61966-2.1 profile will give pleasing color results even if not always accurate. As best as I recall, my Huey (now lost) asked me to set brightness and contrast.
What is the best way to get consistent color from one monitor to another. Is that even possible?

I'm creating an animated gif from a video clip (cinemagraph). In order to acheive the effect I need, I need to move each layer with the move tool to get an object to stay in the same position. I have gone through layer by layer and used the move tool to move the contents of each layer. When I play the animation I see the layers in the position I put them in. I stop playing the animation the contents of each layer snap back to their original positions. I have tried using the lock tools (both lock position and lock all) but they don't make a difference. why layer positions would reset when creating animations and how to get it to stop?

View 7 Replies View RelatedSince I started with the 2014 version of 3dsmax Design I have serious troubles with the Viewport Clipping settings. The yellow arrows 'resets' about 90 percent of the times when I change viewport and sometimes also when I attach objects together. Ideally the top arrow should be below the top yellow line in the viewport setting and the lower one above. What I mean by that they 'resets' is that the top one for no reason goes all the way to the top and the lower goes all the way to the bottom. The result is a very weird looking viewport. Sometimes both goes to the top or bottom and the whole scene is invisible.
If I had been new with 3dsmax I had given up a long time ago not understanding why my hole scene either disappears completely or looks weird. I consider going back to 2012 now since its frustrating adjusting the clipping arrows every minute. Slows down my work.
For some odd reason Autocad will not maintain my workspace customizations. For example I typically can customize my workspace by toggling which toolbars are shown and where they are placed. Then I can close autocad and when I start it again all the customizations are present. Now when I start autocad it loads the default workspace. I should have to customize my workspace every time I start autocad. I also shouldn't have to create any custom workspace profile or anything like that. AutoCad used to simply save any GUI customizations made automatically. I need it to get back to that.

I finally installed Revit 2012. The first order of business was customizing the QAT to include everything I regularly use, and appear below the ribbon.
However, everytime I close/reopen the program, it resets and loses everything. It was not an issue in 2011.
Running Autocad Architecture 2014:
I am running into a problem, I like to use the annotative line type scale when I open the drawing i have to set the MSLTS to (0), and PSLTS to (0), LTS is already at (0). When I set these settings then save the drawing (saves as autocad 2013 version), close it down and re-open it the MSLTS and PSLTS settings reset back to (0). I've tried everything to get these settings to save but nothing works.
I want to keep these settings MSLTS (1), PSLTS (1), and LTS (1), after a save and re open they reset to (0)
Every time I open a new drawing(without closing AutoCAD) my workspace resets ea time and I lose all toolbars and settings.
Using AutoCAD 2012
Opening an old file LTSCALE every time resets to 100 instead of 1.
We tested MEASUREMENT and MEASUREINIT but this problem keeps coming back.
It happens on my colleagues computer not mine!
Is there some system variables set locally causing this only on some computers?

To get to the option panel I'm talking about, bring up your layers in AI then in the top right drop down menu select Panel Options at the very bottom of the contextule menu, and in that window the top options are "Row Size".This is where I pick "Other" and then set it to 50px (every time).
Is it any different than CRT calibration?
I just don't think my colors are correct.
I have a lacie electron blue iv 22 crt as a main monitor that runs great and i don't see myself replacing any time soon, cheapo NEC 17" LCD as a secondary and both running off an XFX nvidia geforce 7600gtx. the lacie is running analog output and the nec is running digital.
I get good color from the lacie and on all my prints (oly 330n and kodak 1400 pro, both are dye sub printers). still using adobe gamma from cs2. is this something i need, or should i just stick with what works. (i guess the answer is stick with what works, but do you guys think i would actually GAIN anything by going for this.)
