Font Color change during slideshow

[b252403]

Hi,
I am getting random occurrences of the font color changing after I have selected "Caption" prior to a slide show.
Normally I use "White" and this works well for one or a few slides. If I load up with about 10-20 slides the font in the Caption below the slide jumps to a blue color.
If I stop, redo the ctrl "L", pick white then it is ok for a while ?
It has happened with prior versions.Not a serious issue but nice to have resolved.
(I use an EIZO CG241W display :ProPhoto RGB +NEF raw)
Thanks b252403

Please read the posting guidelines for this forum.  I always need to know what OS you're running and what version of Photo Mechanic you're running.  Not providing that information means I have to ask for it and that just slows down my ability to address your problem.

Thanks,

Thanks Kirk,
I am using Ver 4.6.5 running on Win 7 -64 Bit, Intel core duo  4gb mem.
(I use an EIZO CG241W profiled graphics monitor :setup is ProPhoto RGB +NEF raw)
I have had this occurence on previous versions also.
Everything else in P.M. functions very well ,
Thanks Ross

Are your graphics card's drivers up to date?  Unless there's some bug in PM where the data for the color for the font is getting corrupted then I'd suspect a driver compatibility issue.

Hi Kirk,
Thanks for your ongoing interest with this little issue.
The Nvida: EIZO:Win 7drivers,Bios;are all up to date.
My PM settings for caching are :Disk cache=2000mb
"reserved at least"= 100mb
"Memory cache" =3oomb
The monitor has inbuilt LUT's and color is true and stable everytime
with ability to handle a slide per second.
At best to simulate the incident, I select @100 pics at 8mb ea ,set to auto, then on the 3rd or 4th selection of same 100, the color shift on the caption text starts to shift to a deep blue, irrespective of what frame /contact/general color is selected elsewhere.
Would the "text" area have it's own little memory allowance in the code?
I would be happy to run any background test history tools if you thought we could trap it that way.
I am also happy to have this issue just logged & recorded as 'not urgent' as I suspect you would have far more serious issues to deal with,
thanks Ross
