OS X V10.4 :: OSX Colour Profile For Screen?
May 1, 2012
I've just bought a 2nd hand Iiyama screen and am finding that 1/4 of the internet has used sRGB attached to its images, which is creating a whole new world of fake tan for me. If I save one of these images and apply the monitors colour profile in Preview the image looks normal, I've also tried to calibrate the display both in Apples Color and via the screens controls - all to no avail. The problem appear to be with the OSX colour profile for the screen? Does anyone know how to override one of these? - and yes I've tried calibrating the current profile and using as many other available in the displays control panel as the OS supplies.

Mac OS X (10.4.11)

New to using Mac's... this is an older desktop but I haven't had any issues with it yet. I went on to use it and the colour was a yellow/orange looking colour and it changes the way pictures and text look on the computer. Is there a way I can troubleshoot this problem or is it something to do with the monitor itself?

PowerMac, Mac OSX (10.2.x)

I'm not happy with the backdrop that appears on my display when my MBA starts up, before I log in to my user account. So I'm not referring to the wallpaper that you'd see on the desktop if all your applications were minimised or closed, but the background when you first switch the notebook on (visible when the theme tune is played, and the apple symbol shown). The MBA I purchased in September had a lovely background that was a subtle cross hatch of dark and medium grey. The newer model, purchased this June (after I destroyed the first one through water damage) has a boring, solid light grey background instead. I haven't been able to work out how to alter this in system preferences.

I screwed up. Or I'm too poor to do things right. I bought a Dell E178WFP, 17" 1440 x 900 @ 60 Hz, 32-bit color external flatscreen. And I live in Egypt and can't take it back. I should have bought an Apple cinema display, but it would have been five or six times the price. The problem is its colour profile. I set it the same as my powerbook, to LCD Color, but it still looks like a PC screen, and I hate that. One of the reasons I love mac is the subtlety of the colour of the screen; it is calm and has depth, unlike PCs which always look garish and brash to my eye.
Is there anything I can do? I explored the color settings, but so far can find no way to actually set the external screen in a way that it renders like the main screen of the powerbook. Ideally, I'd have them both near enough the same. Theoretically, this should be possible, no? Given that I'm running the external off my mac, and that it's a simple LCD that can render millions of colours...........

I was testing out the MBA 13" and 11" again. My main goal was to see how much faster Flash & SSD are in comparison to HDD. It's so fast at restarting and booting. However I noticed something strange. Both units had darker tint towards the edge of the screens. I know colour shift happens with TN panels, but not like this?

I've mitigated my profile from my older iMini to my new iMini. Everything worked out fine but I've noticed that [on the new imini] I have to input my password twice. Once I log on and input my password, my profile comes up and ask me again to input the password. I also have a unsecured startup deice/item (display) message displayed once the system comes up. Can I create a new profile and basically move all my documents over to the new established profile.

my system fonts are jacked up and fill in lines in Safari are not readable as the text is bigger than the fil in window. Also my laptop is running harder, hotter and the battery life is less than half of what it should be. I also get text overlap line to line sometimes in Safari.
I have restored my OS with a clean install and then recovered my profile from Time Machine, this is how I discovered its my profile. I added a clean profile the first time I rebuilt the mac and it ran much faster, with less hardware usage and longer battery life. Once I began to recover my profile the system was same as always slow with Safari issues mentionee earlier. I switched to the temp user account profile and the system is fast no Safari issues and less intensive activity going on, battery life good etc.
If I rebuild the mac again I am not able to recover the profile/account without issues, I would like to move just what I need to a new profile/account from Time Machine but it doesn't allow access to the original admin account for a selective restore. I would like to be much more granular about the restore and just move my documents and such. I don't want to recover the applications or application data at this point as I don't need it. I would rather re-install just the apps I need at this time. Other option would be to clean my account/profile so that it runs as it should or move everything I want (mostly documents) to a new profile for improved use.

Display profile changes-the color correctness- changes whenever I enter fullscreen mode in-game, in dvd player, etc. Absolutely spontaneously. When I exit fullscreen it recovers to regular display profile.
My regular display profile is "color LCD", and it changes to .

I've been experiencing this issue off and on for about the past 10 months. I just upgraded to Snow Leopard tonight and the first time my Unibody MBP's screen saver came on and I got it back to the desktop the entire tint of the screen is intensely cooler. I have to go to Preferences>Display>Color and it automatically goes back to normal. The original "Color LCD" is highlighted, so it's not as if an entirely different profile got selected. If I click on Adobe RGB (1998) I get the exact same cool tint that I get when I unlock after the screen saver appears. Once again, it doesn't happen every time, but it does happen enough to sort of worry me.

Over the last few months there have begun to be hundreds of blue horizontal lines running across the screen and the sound fragmented, with the Mac crashing over 5 times a day. Normally, I would restart and the problem would be OK for a while.
However, now when I turn on hundreds of horizontal black/green lines appear in colums, the normal apple symbol comes up with the spinning loading item. Then a blue screen will appear and the normal log on profile selector doesn't appear. Then after a while the blue screen is covered the thousands of these black/green lines.

I have a 2GHz unibody Macbook. I don't know how to figure out my color profile but I thought this a bit.
I compared my color to my friend's iMac and I noticed his colors were more bright and deep. Is there any way I can upload another color profile and make it look better?

my prof posts many x-rays in his pdf files which I need to print for class. However the black background of all these images is killing my ink supply. Is there any way I can print these pdf files without their black background? I don't see any such options in Preview, but I do have access to CS5 Design Premium if perhaps someone knows a technique through one of the programs in there.

My two year-old was messing on our computer and managed to reverse all the colors. (black is white, red is green, etc.) I can't figure out how he did it and how to change it back. Apparently my back-up hasn't been working, I now find out. Ideas?

I have just bought an external monitor to make a dual screen set up with my imac. So for the first time I am looking at the colour profiles. Would I be right in thinking that if I select profile "sRGB" on the external and "sRGB IEC61966-2.1" on the iMac then when I have the two screens side by side, the colours will match? I have using the Apple 'iMac' profile for two years and anything else just looks strange. What is the 'true' colour or is it just a matter of opinion? Which profile is nearest to real life?

I'm going to try using my 32" LCD TV as a main monitor for my MacBook Pro, I'll see how it goes (it would be great if all works well and I don't have to shell out �500 on an ACD!) but I'd like to make sure that the colours are as accurate as they can be.
So, what's the best way to do this?

Got My Powermac G4 Quicksilver today. I've got it Running pretty sweet now.
One Thing I've noticed is that there is a colouration shift on large images - Running it on a 1080p Monitor, The cAlculator on the dashboard is Green and wallpapers don't look right.
Is this down to the 64Mb Beast of a GPU or my TV?
My HP NC4200 Also shows hue changes in high Resolutions. It has intergrated Graphics from 2005 , and has around half of the Powrmac's memory.

So i just bought a Dell u2410 screen the other day, and decided to hook it up via HDMI, It's being used for photo-editing, I tried to calibrate it, but in the sRGB mode i need to use the colours come out terrible, Reds are orange, etc. The screen itself, and it's settings arn't the problem. The problem is the Colour output of the MacBook, over HDMI and DisplayPort I've found it outputs the old YPbPr colour format, which for me is useless. if i connect it via VGA it'll output proper RGB colour format, but VGA is pretty crappy, and i ideally need to use a Digital output, I've searched all over the net for a solution, but haven't found one. one thing i did find is it will supposedly output RGB over DVI, but alas i don't have a DVI cable and do not wish to have to buy one...so what i want to know, is it possible to change the output colour format for HDMI and DisplayPort to RGB instead of YPbPr? Note 1: If i boot into Win7 via BootCamp it outputs RGB and has the option for YPbPr... Note 2: It isn't the ICC colour profile that's the problem.
