Exposure slider makes photo darker

I have seen this question asked a couple of times, but have not seen a solution.
Whenever I so much as "touch" the exposure slider in the adjust panel (iPhoto 6.0.6), the photo gets darker. No change in the value of the slider -- it still reads zero. But the histogram shifts to the left and the picture becomes darker and appears to be more saturated -- too saturated, in my opinion.
Are there any solutions to this?

The solution is for Apple to fix the software.
It may not help, but it might make you feel better - let Apple know about it.

IPhoto makes photos darker when importing

Has anyone else noticed this?
I have files that appear darker when imported to iPhoto than they do when opened in Preview... what setting can I change to stop it doing this?

Thanks- they are not RAW, just JPEGS. I will check on the Color Profile setting when I get home- out of interest what does it do and what will happen if I change the setting (other than it not making the photos darker)?

HP TRUEVISION HD/YOUCAM WEBCAM: BLACK/DARK IMAGES. EXPOSURE SLIDE REVERTS BACK TO -9

Hello,
I use a HP Pavilion dv6 - LK968EA Notebook PC with Windows 7 64-bit operating system.
The Youcam 3.5 shows a BLACK screen. It worked perfectly when I first got the laptop last year, but all of a sudden, it just got dark. It shows a very faint dark silhouette when I am in the sun, and It does NOT show any image when I am under a halogen lamp or in a room flooded with 4 double fluorescent lamps.
I have not touched the settings. But when I compared the settings with that of a friend’s, I saw that the exposure setting on his HP TrueVision HD/Youcam 3.5 was -2, while mine was -9.
I moved it to -2, and nothing changed. So I clicked “apply” and “ok” and still NOTHING CHANGED.
Someone said I should move the exposure slide to -2, tick “low light compensation” and tick “auto” next to the exposure slide, then just click only “ok”. I did ALL that and nothing happened. I repeated these steps and clicked “apply” and still NOTHING CHANGED.
I ticked “auto-lighting” and still nothing happened.
THE EXPOSURE SLIDE DOES NOT REMAIN AT -5 OR -2. IT KEEPS REVERTING BACK TO -9, EVEN THOUGH I ADJUST IT AND CLICK "APPLY" AND/OR "OK". AS SUCH THE IMAGE QUALITY IS STILL BLACK. Clicking "Auto-lighting" does NOT change anything.
THAT IS THE PROBLEM.
KINDLY PROVIDE ASSISTANCE ALONG THAT LINE.

Exactly the same issue. The exposure setting won't change. It's not even that it doesn't save, as you look at the preview screen, all of the video proc amp setting change live, but when you get onto exposure, it does nothing. And then it doesn't save.
So this issue has been floating around for about 3 years and nothing has come to light to fix it.

LR 5.4 changing exposure on multiple photos on it's own

Using LR 5.4, fully patched on Mac Book Pro also all patched up (10.9.2). I process 800 - 1000 photos at a time from sports events, use presets a lot, also autosync to save time. Yesterday though, after completion of the process, suddenly lightroom started reverting the exposure back to a darker level, on some, but not all photos. Right in front of my eyes. Did not have multiple photos selected, nor autosync on. had only one photo selected, did not click on any preset. It seems to have left other settings (clarity, HSL, Lens Corrections, etc) alone. Any ideas? I spent a lot of time getting things right only to now have to go back and fix those photos that were affected.

Hi Rob,
If you mean the history list for any one photo, on the left hand side, no. Are there other history logs I should look at? But no, I've been post processing this way for a few years now. Just started happening after the last batch I imported last Saturday. Actually did not start until I had finished post and uploaded the picked and processed photos to one site, then was uploading to my personal site and noticed in looking at the thumbnails that some were suddenly way underexposed. Went back to LR and noticed same thing.
Then while I was in develop mode some of the thumbnails across the bottom started getting their exposure shifted back, just like you'd be applying a preset or autosync, but I only had one photo selected at the time.

How do I change the size of my screen, in Develop Module, so that I can access the Exposure Slide in the right-hand colummn?

The right-hand column, under the Develop Module, begins with the Histogram and directly under the Histogram, the Tone Curve is seen. Missing is the Exposure Slide. How do I change the size of the screen to show the Exposure Slide before the Tone Curve?

Right-click (Cmd-click Mac) on the tone curve panel header or any of the other panel headers and make sure there is a checkmark for Basic.

After software update: exposure Edits reverted to Dark again

After installing most recent software updates all my photo edits re lightening exposure seem to have disappeared. In particular ALL my photos are too dark - again.
Why is this? How can I fix exposure on all photos AT SAME TIME.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. First close iPhoto, delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder, launch iPhoto and see if that helps. Next launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the last option.

Exposure slider

I'm shooting RAW with the camera (Canon 60D) exposure at 0 (no compensation). When importing into LR3 (also not using any presets), the exposure slider is typically at +2 or above. I thouht the LR exposure slider would also be at 0. Why does this happen?

Make sure that <Apply auto tone adjustments> in Preferences is unchecked.

How can I make signature darker when I print the report?

I need to put my manager's signature on the report. The signature is too light, How can I make it darker when I print the report?
I used file link and OLE, both did't make it.
Thanks.

No way to do it directly in the report. You need to work with signature image file using any graphic software to increase its contrast. The easiest probably would be to use Paintbrush and change the image to black-and-white, then save back as jpeg file.

What iPhoto version is compatible with Lion OSX 10.7.5 and will it let me make photo calendars?

What iPhoto version is compatible with Lion OSX 10.7.5 and will it let me make photo calendars?
I have just upgraded from Leopard to Lion (via Snow Leopard) because I could no longer order photo calendars with iphoto 7.1.5. However, I still have iphoto 7.1.5 and need to upgrade this. From the App store it looks as though I cannot get iphoto 9.5.1 due to the incompatibility with Lion. I was recemmended not to upgrade beyond Lion due to the age of my iMac computer (2008 version) by Stormfront staff.
What is the best iphoto to upgrade to and how do I do this e.g. iLife '09 or '11, or are there any other 'stand-alone' versions of iphoto that would be compatible? How do I know whether my computer is capable of upgrading to Mountain Lion? I definitely want to be able to make photo calendars, books and cards.
Thanks

iPhoto '09 or '11 - purchase an iLife '09 or '11 DVD (amazon or eBay are potential sources) and install iPhoto and update to the latest version for your OS

Books are no longer supported with iPhoto '08 (a roughly six yeal old product) - you can purchase an iLife '09 DVD from someplace like Amazon or eBay and install it - iPhoto '09 is still supported this year

Is it possible to make photos with the Ipod nano 5G?

Is it possible to make photos with the Ipod Nano 5G?

No. But you can take a photo of the video with your Mac.
With the iPod connected to your computer, click on the iPod, open the DCIM folder & move the video file onto your desktop. Play the video & when you get to the part you want to take a picture of, put Quicktime on pause. Take a screen shot (appleshift3) or (appleshift4 for cross hair cropping) of the paused video.

Moving exposure slider Lightroom 5 causes losing sharpness in pictures.

I'm working with (RAW files form 5dmk2) Lightroom 5 on OS X (i5 .2.6 gHz 16 GB RAM Intel HD Graphic 4000, NEC PA 271W display 27') . In Develop module moving exposure slider for a short moment causes loss of sharpnes in pictures, it's really annoying thing. In Lightroom 4 everything worked just fine. How can I fix this problem and keep working with LR5 ?

What you are describing is Tooltips. If you search this forum you'll find some info but I think all of them require editing of the files post publishing - adding code with an app like MassReplaceIt.
Tooltips will show in some browsers if you insert the image tag into an iWeb snippet and add your text to the title like so....
<img src="http://www.domain-name.com/imagefile.jpg" title="Tooltip Text Goes Here" />
The problem is that the text is small and it wouldn't be much use to partially sighted people.
With the thought anything may be possible, I did a rough test to see if something could be done in an HTML Snippet. This is very rough and needs some more work to tidy it up....
