Windows 10 Color management

Hello,

I'm wondering if windows 10 will include a true color management ?

I use a wide gamut screen with and a monitor profiler in order to display right colors.

Currently, despite color management tab where you can choose the monitor's ICC profile, windows 7 and 8 do not take it into account and only few programs really do. It results in wrong colors display in the whole windows environnement especially for wide gamut monitors.

Has this point been improved in windows 10 ?

  • Changed type Zen the OcelotModerator Tuesday, December 30, 2014 6:40 AM the user is requesting a feature and looking to initiate discussion regarding that feature.

Reply:

How would you suggest it should work in the general case?

The operating system is not currently informed of the color space of the original image data.  That's why the applications themselves must do it.

Now, that being said, it's deplorable that so few graphics applications actually DO do proper color-management, especially considering that there are free libraries that can even be built free of charge into commercial software (e.g., LittleCMS).

One thing Microsoft could do better in a heartbeat is have Internet Explorer embrace full color-management.  At the moment it only does half the job...  Specifically, it reads and processes color profiles in images and transforms the colors to the sRGB color space but does NOT take into account the monitor profile (and sadly, I just checked to see that this is still true with the experimental IE rendering engine).  Nor does it color-manage web page elements (e.g., things colored by HTML).  So far only FireFox does it properly, but even then you must invoke an alternate color-management setting that's not the default.

There's some very good practical info about the problem here:  http://www.gballard.net/psd/go_live_page_profile/embeddedJPEGprofiles.html

There are some who, in frustration and with monitors that are capable, actually deconfigure the wide gamut capabilities of their monitors and just run them as (accurate) sRGB monitors, so that more color will look more accurate in more different applications.  That such settings are available in monitors is testament to how incomplete color-management is and how it's not getting any better.

In answer to my leading question, the "state of the art" (which hasn't changed in a very long time) COULD be made better by Microsoft providing the means for software to express the color space of its imagery to, say, the GPU so that basic color management could be provided by the system at almost no cost to the application.  But this doesn't suit their "touch first" concept (have you noticed that tablets eschew color-management entirely?).

I'm glad to see another person here asking for better from Microsoft.  Keep it up!

By the way the public doesn't cry out for better color management because...

  1. Many don't realize it exists - after all red things look red, right?
     
  2. Those who do find it almost an impenetrable subject that takes years of study to fully understand.

This is one of those things that people expect the industry to get right, without having to ask for it.

Even broadcast television gets it more right than computers and software makers.  That's incredible!

Microsoft, listen up:  You have less than a stellar response lately to your operating system releases.  Ever stop to think that it's not because things Joe Public asks for aren't being provided, but it's because things Joe Public doesn't even know he NEEDS aren't there?  THAT's where true innovation is, and people CAN perceive it.  They just don't know it ahead of time, because they're not trained in it. 

What happened to expecting high tech companies to be able to do higher tech than most people can understand?

Hi Noel,

I totally agree with your point of view.

Applications must handle color management for media display. But I think all the OS environment and graphics used by applications should be displayed properly as the ICC profile of the monitor is set.

And it shouldn't be huge work to let applications  "to express the color space of its imagery" , setting sRGB space as a defaut option. Then most of software who don't care of it, even if they don't fill this information would be displayed properly.

So for replying to the original question, have you noticed any change in windows 10 ?

No, absolutely none.

And yes I agree, as an option if the display subsystem were to be altered so as to transform all display data by default as though it was sRGB for display on a non-sRGB monitor.  Of course there would have to be something in place to make exceptions for applications that DO actually do proper color-management (the list isn't that large).  That would be a definite advancement, and would nicely take care of the Internet Explorer problem too. 

That would make Windows incrementally and noticeably better for creatives / content producers who may now feel Apple provides them a better platform for their trade.

I have just submitted this feedback to Microsoft via the Windows 10 Feedback App:

Please add an option for the display subsystem (ideally the GPU) to transform color values from the default of sRGB to the actual color space of the monitor on which the data is being displayed, per the associated monitor color profile in the Color Management dialog. 

The option can be disabled by default, so as not to cause any additional overhead on the majority of systems, but on systems used for serious content creation and color work previously unmanaged applications - or those which assume sRGB output, such as Internet Explorer - will display accurate color.

A list of exceptions needs to be developed and maintained for applications known to do their own color-management (e.g., Photoshop, FireFox), and color would not be automatically transformed for those applications unless they request it.

This could positively impact all existing applications that do not presently do color-management properly, adding value across the board, and would make a MUCH nicer working environment for creatives and content producers who need to be able to rely on accurate color in the work they're doing.  You could steal a lot of users from Apple.

Great Noel, now the Windows 7 and 8.1 interface look extremely oversaturated on Wide Gamut Displays (desktop, icons, start screen, windows...what a pain for my eyes!) and this is a problem. As these kind of displays are more and more common (and used by most Photographers and Graphic professionists), Windows should introduce a full OS color management (like Apple does), so we can use Windows 10 without hurting our eyes.

------------------------------------
Reply:

By the way, "Project Spartan" (the why bother? project, IMO) does NO DIFFERENT than Internet Explorer.  It color-manages images into the sRGB IEC61966-2.1 color space, which is wrong on everything but an sRGB reference monitor.

Upgrade Office 2010 to Office 2013 (Application model)

Hi,

wanted to share with the community how I solved this task of upgrading already installed Office 2010 (Office 2007 was tested also) to Office 2013 Pro Plus Sp1 VL via Application Model.

In short: in order for it to work, .msi should not be use but the .msp file that you create when you customize your Office installation because .msp contains already a step to remove old Office versions before installing a new version!

Prerequisites:

Prepared .msp file for Office 2013 -> This is important because when specifying installation program on "Content" tab you have to use the .msp (setup.exe /adminfile yournameoffile.msp /config en-us.xml)

Detection clause which you need if you want to specify Detection rule, obtained from a dummy app which you create before.

So, SCCM 2012 R2 with test machine which has installed Windows 7 x64 Enterprise version with Office 2010 Pro.

1. Create Application -> Manually specify the application information.

    Fill out Name and other field according to your needs. Same for next step "Application Catalog"

2. Deployment types -> Manually specify the deployment type information.

    General Information step -> Fill out Name and language.

    Content -> specify network path to the folder containing Office 2013 (do not specify proplus.ww folder)

                -> specify Installation program and enter "setup.exe /adminfile yournameoffile.msp /config en-us.xml"

    Detection Method -> Best way to obtain would be to create a dummy application with .msi file and the you get all the data automatically filled in including clause needed in this step.

                            -> Setting Type: Windows Installer, Product code: {90150000-0011-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}  (02.06.2015, Office 2013 Pro Plus SP1 VL)

    User Experience -> Install for System - Only when I user is logged on - normal (if you want your users to see the progress)

    Requirements - fill in according to you needs.

    Dependencies - fill in according to you needs.

Notes: Under application catalog maybe it is not a bad idea to Write under "Localized description" that the user should first close all running Office apps. This is a more friendly approach when type of deployment is set to "Available".

Suggestions welcome,

Cheers,

WSUS Upstream Server Update Source Settings change itself. Instead of synchronizing from Microsoft Update, it is synchronizing from Upstream Server itself.

I am facing a problem in WSUS.

Actually, may it is a conflict between WSUS and SUP.

Environment running two WSUS Servers upstream and downstream, it's FQDN are SUP01.fuzail.local for upstream WSUS and SUP02.fuzail.local for downstream WSUS.

In SCCM Sites Hierarchy, two sites are running. Central Administration Site and Primary Site. Central Administration Site have Software Update Point installed on a dedicated machine of WSUS Upstream Server on sup01.fuzail.local. Primary site have Software Update Point installed on a dedicated machine of downstream server on sup02.fuzail.local.

Both sites have same SQL Server Installed sql01.fuzail.local but have a different instances for Upstream and downstream WSUS. Different instances also used for PRI and CAS Site Servers.

I m facing problem only in sup01.fuzail.local. in WSUS for this issue "WSUS Upstream Server Update Source Settings change itself. Instead of synchronizing from Microsoft Update, it is synchronizing from Upstream Server itself."

I know about in SCCM environment we don't need to configure WSUS, just we have to install it. Software Update Point will do configuration in WSUS.

According to my finding, SUP which is used for upstream server WSUS in sup01.fuzail.local, is properly configured in SCCM. It has been check that, synchronization has been done from Microsoft Update. But when I go to upstream server of WSUS and check it's update source and proxy settings it has been checked to upstream itself instead of Microsoft Update.

I have worked troubleshoot and do much more finding to resolve this issues but this issues raise again in few days or few hours.

Please provide me some technical help to resolve this issues.

Thanks

Is this a lab? If not, having a single primary under a CAS is worthless and using the same SQL server makes no sense either.

As for your specific issue, what version of ConfigMgr are you running?

Have you rebooted the system hosting the upstream WSUS instance?

??? givenname ???

surname not sn.

Quotes required.

I don't think you want "server"  what does it mean?

Adding description to out of the box name-field. SharePoint 2013

This is not a guestion. I just wanted to share my thoughts how I added desctiption under the (file)name field as by default there is no description shown.

This doesn't require any customization of the forms of any kind.

1. Change for example the document library settings: Launch forms in a dialog to NO

2. Open the newform.aspx by for example adding new document.

3. Take the page in edit mode

4. Add content editor web part (you should be able to do this by using script editor, but i prefer to store the script files in document library and link those to content editor.)

5. Add the following contents to the script file that you want to load in content editor (e.g. NameFieldDescription.txt)

<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.1.4.min.js"></script>  <script>  $(document).ready( function () {    $( '.ms-fileField-fileExt' ).after('</br><span class="ms-metadata">YOUR DESCRIPTION HERE</span>');   });  </script>

The .ms-fileField-fileExt class is used when you see in the name field "filename".docx (so the file type). And we are inserting description text with class if .ms-metadata (that is the one used in ob-forms).

6. Save the page and you should have the description loaded under the name field.

Hope that this helps someone else :)

Windows IRM Server

Hello Team

As we already have a IRM server in our Forest,  is it possible if we can setup second IRM server on the same forest ? or it is possible to setting up second IRM Server ?

Any limitations to setting up second IRM server in the same forest or have any any issue ? If so do we decommission first one ?

Hi,

IRM requires implementation of a Rights Management server.

I think you could ask in AD RMS forums:

Catarse: Personality? Marriage? What about avast girl?

So I have seen the windows 10 highlights (which contained illuminati stuff so pls fix that Microsoft, you're not Disney), and it was awesome looking. But them you guys showed Cortana. And I'm fast reading a post here and there's also 3 MORE GIRLS? Wow!

But them if I didn't knew Microsoft I wouldn't be asking that. Of course you guys are gonna put a personality in her. Right Right?

Well but them is she going to be like "Are you going to install the update or what?" or "Hello friend. Windows update is up. Want to install now?" or even "Windows update here. Wanna install like you always do?" (sarcasm). Oh I mean, will she develop her personality based on you and be like when you get virus "I warned this was suspicious, but you didn't listen. Now colaborate and contact microsoft support".

Also I hear there will be another 2 girls. whaaat? That means there will be jealous support? Will she get pi#### if I buy a motorola and integrate with windows because she is so lonely? And if I buy a windows phone and integrate with my windows would she like make a virus fight? I mean, would be cool but I paid for that phone!

Now there if you like start fapping can she make questions like "Windows detected that you are watching porn. Enter incognito mode and delete hard drive web history?" and if you made up her personality be like "Oh, you don't like me and you're doing that? You just want to have *** with a pc you ******"

Pls microsoft D:

Need help in Creating Group Policy for Computers with Age >1 Day

The complete requirement is we need a Group Policy which should get apply to system based on machine/computer account age in Active Directory. If the machine added to the AD right now the Group Policy should be applied to machine next day. The Group Policy will remain the Local Built-in account. We have prepared the GPO for renaming the same. However, that is impacting our machine imaging as once the machine is added to domain the GPO renames the Built-In account from Administrator to XYZ (name as per our IT Policy standard). Which is blocking the further steps in the imaging. We want the GPO to be applied once the imaging activity is fully completed. So we are thinking to delay the GPO by 4 hours or next day based on the age of the machine. 

[Forum FAQ] Enable Navigation up menu in SharePoint 2013

Scenario

In SharePoint 2013, navigation up menu is disabled by default. While some customers would like to enable it as previous versions and make subsites inherit it. We can customize master page to enable it. However, there is still a problem that if subsite is using another theme, the navigation up image would disappear.

Solution:

Here are the steps to customize master page to enable navigation up menu:

  1. Open current site collection with SharePoint Designer 2013, and navigate to Master Pages.
  2. Copy seattle.master and paste it to current pane, and edit seattle_copy(1).master in advanced mode.
  3. Locate the <div style="display:none;">, remove style="display:none;".
  4. Then locate the tag with Id DeltaBreadcrumbDropDown essentially next to the preceding tag, remove visible ="false".
  5. The steps above will enable navigation up menu. However, if subsite inherits this master page but use another theme than the default one. The navigation up image will disappear since the Up image link changes along with Theme.
  6. We need to add below script into seattle_copy(1).master page:
<script type="text/javascript">  window.onload=function()   {   var newImg = "/_layouts/15/images/spcommon.png?rev=23";   var $t = document.querySelector("#GlobalBreadCrumbNavPopout-anchor img");   $t.setAttribute("src", newImg);		   };  </script>  

  7. Make sure the subsite inherits the master page from parent site and the publishing feature has been enabled.

Here are the screenshot of the result in my SharePoint 2013:
