I too have just noticed a slight Cyan cast in C1 direct prints. They may be a bit darker as well. My usual printing is done with Qimage. It would be very convenient to print direct from the RAW file in C1 sometimes, but for the present I will stick with Qimage because of other advantages.

 

My biggest worry at present is frequent crashing of C1 when attempting what I rate as 'heavy' visual corrections. eg. 'keystone' changes or sudden actions. I suspect my video card is the culprit, not C1, as crashes occur with other software as well, or even just sitting looking at the screen! My computer mechanic is on holiday till next week unfortunately.

 

Erl, have them do a proper RAM memory check as well; everytime I've had C1 mysteriously crashing it was because I had faulty memory installed...interesting on the cyan prints, too...

Jamie, I've just had a new motherboard-64bit- to replace the 32. Also new RAM to allow me to go to 6Gig. Previous was 2Ggig under 32 bit. Also upgraded from XP to Win7 in the process.

 

Yes, a lot of variables involved, but retrospectively, I attribute past crashes to the same cause. I suspect the videocard, but my mechanic is paid to work that out. Actually, he nearly never charges me for time or advice. Just for for parts supplied.

 

Next week when he returns I will have a solution!

I have had no crashes, not even on my older intel iMac.

With respect to the slightly darker /too much cyan prints, I am sending Phase One prints from LR3, and C1-6 along with the DNG file and my printer profile used for both outputs.

Hope they can point me the right way.

I had several crashes yesterday while using C1 on my iMac (it is a 10 month old i7 with 8GB ram). The screen gradually went darker from top to bottom and a message came up stating that the machine would have to be switched off and restarted.

Cliff, I think that's what's called a "kernel panic." :(

 

Run Disk Utility. If you bought the AppleCare warranty, a call to Apple is in order and free.

 

You may need a 3rd-party repair program after that.

 

 

 

 

The Mac specialists I know were all aghast when the same thing happened to me several years ago on a G3 eMac. One should never see a kernel panic, they said, let alone multiple instances on one day.

 

Good luck, and keep us posted.

It's a kernel panic. You may try a Archive-Install of your system. Pretty simple — about 1 hour downtime with System Disc Install 1.

If this does not solve it, try to run Disk Utility from your Install Disc 1( and also launch the Hardware Test Tool).

If this doesn't give any positive, but still have kernel panic, or if it does give a positive, call Apple and have them diagnose your i7. A hardware replacement under Apple Care or basic one year warranty might be necessary. You still have 2 months to go in the latter case, but if I were you, I wouldn't wait, kernel panic is about the most serious problem you might have, apart a mechanical failure. I had a series with an old Power Book 1,33 gHz we still use a lot, and it's been solved by a complete Erase-Install. ;)

I phoned Apple and they talked me through a reset of the P Ram. They asked me to disconnect all peripherals (ie all USB and LAN connections) and suggest that I take it to an Apple store if the problem recurrs.

 

Thanks a lot for your help. I'll keep you posted on any developments.

They guided you through a PRAM and also to a reset SMC (disconnecting all peripherals).

This alone won't solve a kernel panic.

If I were you, I'd really try an archive-install of your system or better an erase-install.

In any case, you should run disk utility and Apple tools to check the hardware.

And don't forget to backup with Time Machine…
