Sorry if this has been asked before but I couldn’t find anything on Google.

We’ve just bought a new monitor for the guy in our art department, it’s an Iiyama VM Pro 454. The image is good and so is the colour rendition from what I can tell. The one problem that has been brought to my attention is that in Photoshop we can’t get it to display white, it comes out with a strong (very) yellow cast.

The confusing thing about this is that the white parts of the UI display white, it’s in images that white looks yellow. If we click the black and white palette ‘reset’ button on the toolbox we end up with black and yellow!

As I said, the monitor is able to show white and does so where we’d expect; it’s photoshop’s rendering of images that have a yellow cast. We’ve even opened images (jpeg) in a web-browser to check before (and after) opeing them in photoshop and they’re fine in the browser but yellow in PhotoShop.

We’re using PhotoShop 5.5 and it’s adequate for our needs so we don’t want to upgrade (and don’t see why we should when it was all working before).

Thanks for any help you can give.

Justin.

Be sure you have calibrated the monitor. PCs use Adobe Gamma, Macs use Colorsync.

Be sure you have the color settings set correctly. If you do print work set the rgb proflie to Color Match or Adobe RGB. If you do web work set it to sRGB. For CMYK set the profile to SWOP.

Check out the help files for more info.

Run Adobe Gamma again, and this time choose the correct monitor white point.

Bingo. I wanted to try that but I couldn’t remember what it was called! It’s been a very long time (over 5 years) since we did the install. Thanks for your help.
