I installed Yosemite public beta a few days ago. I already love the new system.

There are some weird issues with light greys, dark greys and color sync on my mac though.

Apparently Yosemite turns very light and dark greys into white or black. More precisely if i create a gradient from white to black in ps cc2014 the top 10% greys appear white. Same with black.

I played around with the pro calibration settings and my display settings but had no luck. Furthermore the issue persists on my macbook screen as well as on my external lg ips display but was definitely not an issue before the upgrade.
So it seems to be a problem within the os.

It becomes very obvious visiting a calibration site like

Strangely, as long as i stay within the mid color value, colors are pretty much perfect. Just light gradients (eg. the top macrumors site gradient) look like a 256 colors gif and show sharp contour lines.

Anyone else seen this?

Universal Acces

Feeling a bit stupid right now. :)

Open your System Preferences, then Universal Access pane.
Adjust the Enhance Contrast all the way to 'Normal'
