Photoshop :: Default Color Settings Appear All Yellow And Green Toned And Not True RGB
Dec 3, 2008
I recently installed Photoshop 7 on my PC and when I open the program the default color settings appear all yellow and green toned and not true RGB. I have tried messing with the settings but I cannot seem to solve the problem. It would be easier if I could show the screen shot of what I am talking about.
I work for a large fortune 500 company and the software is installed through a server which allocates the licenses. I dont know if there may be a bug in the program but maybe that has something to do with it.
The fresh install of LR 5.2 renders all images - RAW and JPG - throughout the program with a very dark, green-yellow colorcast. The only place where images appear normal is in the Import dialog, while the thumbnail mode is active. Apart from that, every program module features this annoying reproduction. Here are some supporting screenshots (red rectangles are from me): Â Import screen - thumbnail view - OK: Â Import screen - preview - NOT OK:
Library view - NOT OK: Â Strangely enough, if I export the picture to JPEG - without any modifications - the image appears normal again:
 LR version: 5.2.1, 64b (tried the 32b version too, same error) OS: Windows 8, 64bit Camera: Canon 40d, imported images are RAW.
First - I am not an expert in the Color settings/Profiles topic but I am thinking there is an issue here.  When I look at this image "McCroreyDigitalLogo.png" in Photoshop the 'whites' appear right.Then when I import it into ms PowerPoint, the whites look yellowish.  I have done a series of 'tests' and it seems to be that the color profile out of photoshop and the one in PowerPoint are not compatible.I have reset my Photoshop preferences with no luck/change to the results.  Finally, I did a screen shot out of photoshop and pasted that into Powerpoint. The white appeared correct. Basically any files I run through PS, when they are imported into PowerPoint, the whites turn yellow.
Photos filed in My Pictures sometimes get the bottom half degraded. They get an over all green or yellow cast which I cannot get rid of. The pics start off OK but later for no apparent reason this cast appears.
Could it be connected with images that are scanned in? The camera downloads do not seem to be affected but I might be wrong about that.
I was disappointed to see that the CS6 More Options panel still has 8 bit dither. Why isn't it 10 bit by default ? Shouldn't Photoshop be sending 10 bit to monitors with 10 bit LUT for real wide gamut? Some printers are going beyond 8 bit now, also.
When I am trying to make any shapes on my computer...even just a closed triangle with the LINE TOOL...when I come back tot he starting point to close the triangle, the dot neer turns green. Not even if I am directly on top of it. Is there some setting that got changed accidentally, that is causing this?
It works on my computer at work, just not my laptop. Others I know have the same laptop and recieved the same install...and it works for them.
I have had Lightroom for a bout a month and use my QNAP NAS to store images. This has always been ok until today.Today the light next the QNAP directory in the 'folders' dropdown of LR4 shows yellow rather than green. If I set folder status to display it says it's online and I can access the images fine.  The problem is that I have a custom renaming preset which takes the folder name and makes it part of the file name. While the light is showing yellow it no longer picks up the folder name (but will remane the file according to other presets such as date). It's really odd because the black bar just above the filmstrip tells me the name of the folder correctly so I don't know why the rename won't show it. I know the preset works correctly because 1) I have always used it before on this NAS and 2) it works fine for files on my mac HDD (which shows a green light status).
I'm not sure what i changed but when im trying to sketch a line usually the little cursor turns from yellow to green when it snaps to an edge or a center. but its not snapping, how to get my line snap back.
I am very torn about the layers palette. I love that layer via copy will respond to groups as well as individual layers but I hate the color. I find it much more difficult to quickly find what I am looking for with the names and info inverted on a black background.
It is also more difficult to see the separation between layers and tell when one ends with its effects. Overall I feel my productivity regarding the layers palette has slowed down and become more frustrating. Everything else seems to be great. Is there a way I can convert over to a light toned color palette instead of a dark one?
I can't see how to set my basic default settings that I have always used for:- artistc text: color, size, etc.- paragraph text: line spacing, etc.- graphic: color, outline, etc.
I even click "text properties" and nothing happens.
By default, the PDF print drivers we use (Bluebeam, PDF 995) set True Type text handling to be "as graphics" rather than "as text" (see below), which makes for some ugly text. Â I know I can make this change and save as a .PC3 file, but all our page setups for sheets & templates in the office all reference these default drivers, so it would be preferable to change the way the default driver works if possible. Â Is the default plotter configuration editable?
Why when I use green for foreground color and go to Fill and use the option of Foreground color the selection is filled with black? Also why when I open a file with a green square, it also turns to black? And since I am asking questions, how do I get back the ability to get content and search within photoshop, instead of always being directed to Adobe online? I am using CS5.
How do you create a true black and white photo from an original color photo. i know you can select greyscale but that isn't a true black and white photo(i don't think).
I'm doing some painting with a lot of layers set to different blend modes. I find that every time I want to paint on one of these layers, I have to go to that layer, set the opacity back to 100, change the blend mode back to "normal" sample the color, then change everything back and continue painting. I realize I can save a swatch for the color, but it can get confusing when you're using subtle color differences on multiple layers. It seems like there should be a modifier key to the tool that samples the layers "true" color discarding opacity and blend mode.Â
I added 3 different Hue Saturation Layer(s), colors Red, Yellow, and Green -Â split in 3, to a concrete image, in Photoshop. I am trying to get a really bright, sunny yellow color, however I can only get light yellow Hue Saturation Layer. How to adjust Hue for bright yellow (sunny) color?
PS CS4. Everything seemed to go fine, but now all of a sudden his images are displayed with a strong yellow tint. I don't mean a slight color cast, I mean a STRONG yellow tint. The images appear the same in Photoshop, the Bridge, and even ACR. I re-calibrated the monitor (Gretag McBeth) and generated a new profile just be sure, but that wasn't it. The same images viewed in other applications (Picassa, opened in a browser, etc.) on the same computer display normally. This appears to be only Photoshop related. What's also interesting is that CS3 now exhibits the same problem after the CS4 install. I reviewed all the color settings and workflow, and nothing is out of the ordinary. The Nikon raw images were imported via ACR, and opened in Photoshop with ACR workflow options set for 16 bit/Adobe RGB. Photoshop working space is Adobe RGB. I also installed the 11.0.1 update. But here are what may be a couple of clues. First, it's not just the image files that look bad. The colors are awful in the color picker in the toolbox. The entire color picker slider is almost all yellow and orange. And here's another good one. We tried importing some new raw images via the photo downloader in Bridge. With the downloader in Advanced mode, the image previews before download show the same yellow cast. But after I click the Get Photos button, the image colors appear correct as they flash on for a couple of seconds while being downloaded. This has got to be a big clue for someone. What's different about how the image is displayed during that two second preview during the actual download? The PC hardware is a 3.2Ghz Pentium 4 Dell tower (2G ram) running XP Pro w/SP3, with a nVidia GeForce 7800 graphics card, and the screen resolution is 1024x768. I'm thinking maybe a graphics card issue or corrupted system profiles, but I'm a Mac and he's a PC so my PC troubleshooting skills are limited.
I want to eliminate all shades of yellow from a picture. It would be ok if they completely dissapeared or if I would be able to turn all shades of yellow into white or black. Is this possible with Photoshop? If not, do you know if it would be possible with other software?
Example:
There is a sun on a picture- I want the sun to be turned black. I am not talking about using the brush like in "Paint", but I want this to be done automatically.
I am trying to find out how to print a true color solid hatch for a rendered site plan. I can change the color in layer properties but when I go to print, it shows and prints a darker more saturated color almost like an autocad color. When I select the transparency button it seems to be closer to the real color.
Photoshop CS5 v12.1. Mac OS 10.6. I'm printing to an Epson R1800 printer. Â Print. Choose Color Management. Choose Document. Choose "Photoshop manages color". Choose the correct printer profile that matches the paper I'm using. Choose Relative Colorimetric. Â THEN, I click Print Settings...under the 4th drop downu I choose "Print setting..." again. Under "Basic" "color" and "Color settings" are grayed out as are some of the "Media Type" options. Â Is this normal? The problem is my black and white prints are printing really badly. They have color tones. I've cleaned the nozzles on my Epson printer, done everything the print utility suggests. All the test prints look fine.
When I import an eps, or create a new object with a shape tool. The default style is a clear fill and a hairline CYMK black (0,0,0,100) outline. I think I know how to change it to true black (0,0,0,0), but when i import an eps or an illustrator file, it is coming in as CMYK black (0,0,0,100)
How can I change the green color of the background in this image?Also, I would like to soften and spread out the edges a little more of the white light if possible.
When I plot to paper from TV2012, I'm good with monochrome - black lines, white background - awesome.
I would *like*, however, to plot a few things to PDF, but retain the view I have on my display - I.E., lines/labels of various colors and a BLACK background. I've been poking around for a bit, and if there's a way to make that setting, I'm no finding it. Everything I try has gotten me colored lines/labels on a white background.
How can I change with photoshop the color of below pencil from dark green to light green similar to the one in same photo? URL....Usually I use Tonality/saturation with good effect but with this special green I don't find a good solution.
I have an app on my iPod called "Photoshop Express", and it has the simple option of 'Tint', which will tint the image the color you want (red, green, etc.). How do you do this on normal, desktop Photoshop?
No fancy "how I like it", I want just the image to be tinted red, or green, or blue, and the image have the color info, meaning if I convert it to Black and White, you could tell a difference in lightness and darkness from the original picture (you can tell it was tinted).
The colors on the computer monitor do not match the colors of my printed photos. The pictures have a yellow color cast. I am printing using HP Photosmart 7520.
I have a damask flourish design in JPEG format. I want to change the entire color of the design from green to pink. How can I do that? I have an older version of Photoshop Elements 6.0 on my Windows XP machine, but can upgrade to 11 on my Macbook Pro.
