f.lux updates the system profile many times per day on dual-GPU macs, and it's possible that Photoshop doesn't expect this to happen and leaks memory. Sounds like quite a bit.

I'll take that as a no. Thanks for building what could easily be considered the best idea since monitor color profiles, but this is unusable. I also don't understand why the developer thought a manual setting needs to be bypassed by the software's heart beat (every few seconds the software checks if the settings are right and updates them). It really defeats the purpose of even having a UI that allows for changes. Anyways, good luck getting the kinks out!

@leeze Hmm, maybe try removing f.lux from the startup list. Then, if it's easy to add it back, try that. If that doesn't work, just exit using the menu, and send f.lux to the trash (use Finder to search, and move off all the f.lux stuff. Then reinstall.

Or just add the applications you use to watch movies to the blacklist, would probably be the easiest way. If you're watching in a browser, maybe have one (i.e if you're a Chrome user maybe Firefox or Chrome Canary) dedicated for that purpose. That way it'll always be automatic =)

@sabrina303 What model apple laptop do you have -- I think this may be a case of pulse width modulation?

Oh, after shutting down this computer, which is coupled to my MacBook Pro, the keyboard light went back on. I can't seem to do it again.

I second that. Upon initial installation I couldn't Command F2 out of my second screen. Also, after rebooting, I connected to the second screen and didn't see Flux working on it. When I Command F2 out of the second screen Flux temporarily cut off on the parent screen.
I am loving this App.

@HighPercentile We should definitely do better with this case, thanks for writing to us about it.

I updated my mac, and it looks like I have two flux applications on my mac. But they look the same and have the same information on them. I think in the older OS they were both open and that might of cause my problem. I will delete one of them and hopefully it work.Thank you.

We use Sparkle to check for updates once a day.

I am so sorry I never saw this before. You want to update to the newest El Cap, make sure you have the latest version of f.lux. Try rebooting after installing f.lux and if you still encounter problems disable automatic brightness under displays.

@bdeonline Redshift has been updated, the latest I've used is 1.9, but they are now up to 1.10. I actually had to install Manjaro Linux based on Arch to get 1.9 to test the updated color tables and they are so much better. I've done an A/B test rebooting the machine each time, with both 5500K and 2700K and they are just about indistinguishable. Redshift has a tiny bit more red, but it's extremely close.

Hi @mikhael - have you recently added any other apps or updated the OS?

If you are able to update your OS that may help a lot.
The next thing to try is disabling autobrightness and rebooting.

Can you post the version of f.lux you are using?

@someone Well then, you're monitors color settings may be set too blue. Here's something crazy to try. Go get a laptop if you have one that works, take it outside, and hook up your monitor to. Ideally you'll want the brightness maxed out before you do this, but keep contrast to a reasonable level as when it's too high it will distort all the colors, blue especially.

I have seen some new issues in 10.11 that are making us think the system profile has changed frequently (which is 100x more expensive than our normal work in the background). We will do a fix soon.
