The grey in my relaxed brown hair occasionally turns a greenish color I use adore semi permanent, dark chocolate any idea how to avoid this?

Your hair is turning green because your missing red when you color your hair. Gray is uncolored hair and to get to a dark chocolate brown you need to add a little red to the color to make up for this. You don't need to strip it out.

Have you heard of people using purple shampoo to neutralize the yellow tones of their blonde? Red will neutralize the green tones, so adding a little red to your color will do this for you.

I print flower pictures. Purples/blacks/blues come out with a lot of red in them - for instance, purple comes out maroon. How to I reset the colour balance?

Assuming it is not a problem with ink or toner feed, the normal printer does not determine internally the colors but only follows instructions from the application (program) you are using.

If a test page from the printer shows the correct color or color balance, then you will have to do the color correction from the program that is controlling the printer.

Carefully read of the application's features and the variables possible from within the program itself.


BTW, the paper stock you are using and its absorption characteristics can also influence color saturation too.


Also, it is helpful if you include brand name and model number of the device for which you are requesting help.

There's a green hue over everything

One of your other color tubes( blue or red ), is blown. The green saturation you are seeing is beacuse you are missing a color to complete the picture. Rear projection t.v.'s are pretty cheap to fix with this problem. Just contact a t.v. repairman.

No Red color at all. The convergence feature does not work either. Lots of green and blue RCA Model D52W59

Red color gun has failed, which will make the picture over saturated with the other two colors(blue,green) the bad news is the three color guns need to be replace in a set(all at the same time) because if you only replace the red it will over saturate the older blue, green guns then your picture will be mostly red.Unfortunently in most cases it's not worth the investment, better off to purchase a new tv. Good luck !

How to adjust color on sk-32h570d

This is from the MANUAL
www.westinghousedigital.com/pdf/197_User_Manual.pdf

PAGE 27

A-1 Settings
Use the Settings sub-menu options to manually adjust the display quality. Use the ◄/► keys to adjust the
option level.
Adjust the luminance level.
Adjust the brightness to darkness ratio.
Adjust the balance of the red, green, and blue colors in the display.
Adjust the color intensity.
Adjust the sharpness or softness of the display.
Adjust the brightness level of the screen backlight.


AND this is from the troubleshooting procedures in the manual

PAGE 64


Wrong, abnormal or missing colors

・ If any colors (red, green or blue) are missing, check the video cable to make sure it is securely connected. Loose or broken pins in the cable connector could cause an improper connection.
・ Press and select Picture | Settings to adjust the Hue and Saturation settings. You can also select
Picture | Advanced to adjust the Color Temperature settings.
・Connect the TV to another computer and check if the problem is with the computer screen.


Other than that there is no mention of color adjustment

I am a surgeon when I take pictures of muscle or bloody objects the red color seems to melt and the red is overly saturated and all sharpness and definition to the photo is lost usually taken with a...

The Fuji S2 sensor is noted for this red sensitivity. Here's a few different approaches to getting the shot with the S2, all of which require some experimentation.

1. Set the "Color" and "Tone" Function options to "ORG". Underexpose the shot. Progressively change the exposure compensation downward until when checking the histogram, the red channel does not show saturation at the high end. Advantages: this is the simplest approach to getting the picture. Disadvantages: the S2 already had a fairly limited dynamic range, and this will make things worse for the parts of the photo that are not red. For the surgical setting and use of a ringflash, this may not be much of a disadvantage, since a lot of the stuff of interest will be red, and ringflash illumination generally is of lower contrast than directional lighting.

2. Set the "Color" and "Tone" Function options to "ORG". Use a custom white balance. The idea here is to have the camera adjust the red channel sensitivity itself, and leave the blue and green channels alone. To do this, start with several sheets of white paper and a red or pink marker or highlighter. Scribble with the marker across a sheet, then use that to set a custom white balance. Take a test shot of the red stuff that has been problematic, and see whether the histogram for the red channel shows that there is no saturation at the high end. Repeat this with progressively more red or pink on each sheet used to set the custom white balance until you find the custom white balance that takes enough of the edge off the red channel response. Alternative: I just tried out making a gradient across an 8.5x11" sheet of paper going from white to about 30% red saturation. I can set more or less red adjustment in a custom white balance just by pointing the camera at different parts of the page. This seems to work OK for me. Advantage: can allow the full dynamic range of the sensor to be used. Disadvantages: the experimentation period is likely to take a while to get the best results, and the final images are unlikely to look completely natural.

3. Set the "Color" Function option to "B/W". Use a green or cyan filter on the lens to cut the amount that the red color channel contributes to the final image. Advantages: this is fairly simple as an approach. A similar post-processing technique can be applied to the photos that you already have, by nulling out the red channel contribution and desaturating the blue and green channels to produce a grayscale image. Disadvantages: you lose the color information entirely. Since much of what you want information about is colored red anyway, the organs are likely to appear quite dark when only taking the blue and green channel contributions to the image.

Red color appears missing from display

Push your red component cable firmly in the tv and the cablebox and you will be good to go.
