[MacDV] Neon picture - Getting rid of the NEONS

[Jon Blumhagen]

Somebody definitely needs to write a book about this (Jim? Erica?)

I, too, was having the "neons". And not only Photoshop, but my Acrobat and
any OSX printing as well. I'm by no means an expert on this, but after a lot
of digging, the best I can figure is that it has something to do with the
"idiot-proofing" color correction built into OSX.

My Photoshop 5.5 would be fine, but my 7 was WA-A-A-A-A-A-Y off. After a lot
of trial-and-error with the ColorSync settings in the System Preferences,
and the "Color Settings..." in Photoshop, I was able to get the settings to
match and "voila", everything looked fine, and printed okay, too. (But ask
me to duplicate my steps...ah, no...).

So my feeble suggestion would be to check those areas out first, and also
check the library/colorsync/profiles folder, or the
users/(yourname)/library/colorsync/profiles folder. What is installed there
seems to have an affect on the overall color management.
