I have scanned some black and white negatives into my computer(iMac) where they are stored on the hard disc as positives.When I import them into iPhoto to print they turn back into negatives.How do I turn them back into positives?

That's because you scanned them as B/W photos and iPhoto 08 doesn't support the grayscale color profile. You can either rescan them as color photos or export them as originals out of iPhoto to a folder on the desktop and applhy this Automator application, Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB Profile, on them and then remimport into iPhoto. You can download it from Toad's Cellar . Be sure to read the warning on the website about not applying it on your only copies.

You can associate files from the Bridge level and the Desktop level.
In Bridge CS4, go to Preferences > File Type Associations and change it to Photoshop CS4 for the file types you want.
If you want to open files from the Windows Desktop in CS4, these are the instructions:

Why do some black-and-white photos disappear in Mac Preview and Safari?

I sent a PDF to a colleague recently only to discover that he uses Mac Preview to view PDFs and not Adobe Reader. The unfortunate part is that, although full-color photos all appeared, small black-and-whites were inconsistent: some appeared and others did not.
Moreover, the same problem turns up when using Safari, though Google Chrome displays the PDF perfectly.
One reference point is that a full version of the PDF appears just fine in Preview and Safari. It's when the original is reduced or optimized that some of the small black-and-white photos disappear. Of course all photos appear in Reader, even when they PDF is reduced or optimized.
I have examined the small photos and have been unable to find any consistent trait among those that appear and among those that do not. I have experimented with them: layered and flat, with and without alpha channels, with and without profiles, as RGB and grayscale, with byte order for IBM PC and Mac, as TIFFs and JPEGs — in other words in every variation I could think of. I have used both Acrobat Pro 8.3.1 and Acrobat XI. Nothing I have tried has varied the outcome.
The obvious solution is to avoid Mac Preview and Safari, but I am planning to distribute a complicated project to a large audience and can't control what viewers they use.
Does anyone know what the problem is?

As I reported and you confirm, the things I tried had no effect.
You point to the compression and image settings, but that leaves the question why some photos and not others showed up: presumably they were all subjected to the same compression and image settings.
There are a great many possible permutations of compression and image settings, and I'm on deadline. Is there perhpas a combination of compression and image settings you recommend?
Thanks!

After sorting photos into albums, the albums disappeared on me. I dragged and dropped the photos and went back to check that they were in place before exiting the program. When I went back, the folder was there but no albums. Help!

Working on an IMac - with IPhoto v.9.6
This is my first experience with IPhoto... trying to move files from a PC over to a Mac.
I don't have a ton of photos but I created about 6 albums - standard albums - and dragged and dropped individual photos into each of the albums. I named each of the albums as well so I would know what was in each. After i was finished, I created a folder called 2014 and moved each of the albums into that folder. Before moving ANY of the albums, I opened each of them up to make sure that all the photos I wanted in each were indeed there - and since there were some errors on my part, I deleted any duplicates first. SO, I KNOW the photos were actually in each of the albums BEFORE i moved them into the 2014 folder.
My intention was to then delete the photo files in my document file but once I got there I thought I would go back and double check the IPhoto file just to make sure... and the pictures were NOT in the albums where I had placed them... is there a need to save this before you move on and if so, to where and how? I was under the impression that once files were moved to albums, they remain there.
The photos are still in the photo library but unsorted now again... I cannot even open the 2014 folder at this point.
Thanks for any help!!

Was back on IPhoto this morning. The folder did not open at all so I deleted it. Beside Albums, nothing showed at all. It was like I had done no work at all except to import my photo folder. Nothing was in my trash bin either.
I started again and created one album at a time. I dragged and dropped photos into the album and exited out of IPhoto, opened up other programs and then returned to IPhoto to see if the album was still there and it was this time. I created a second album and did the same thing. This time, for some reason, the albums seem to be staying in place. I am not doing anything differently than last time. After creating three albums, I created a folder called 2014 and dragged and dropped the three albums into the folder and exited IPhoto. They were still there when I returned - YEAH! It seems to be working - for now! I am keeping my fingers crossed that my photos are not going to disappear but I am not going to delete my photo folder from my files just in case!
Thanks for the suggestions but this may just have been a funny glitch... not sure what happened. I didn't change anything or do anything differently this time except that I am doing it one album at a time and exiting the program between creating each of them and coming back to check... very strange.

Where are my pictures stored on the hard drive when I import them into Aperture?

I imported pictures into Aperature under the project name Christmas 2012. When I went into Finder to see where the pictures were actually placed on my hard disk, the folder didn't show up anywhere. These are new photos that I added to my hard drive.
I then thought I would do a file search on some of the photos. One picture's file name was IMG_2260. When I searched All My Files for this file, it produced two different photos with the exact same file name IMG_2260!
Now I'm really confused! Any help would be appreciated.

. It just seems strange to me to not be able to find the actual photos with Finder.
The actual photos do not exist as image files, until you export them. The only images that do exist are the originals that you import into Aperture. When you adjust images, enhance them, crop them, Aperture will only store the command, but not actually create the edited version.
That has three advantages:
Aperture saves space, because only the original image is stored.
Aperture can easily undo any operation and you have a lossless workflow.
Many adjustments can be accumulated into one operation and done very precisely, because the image need not to be rendered to 8Bit or 16 Bit versions in between. Only the final version needs to be encoded as image file.
So, since the edited images do only exist in a state of limbo, you do not see them in the library as images.

Léonie
Added:

When you search for the originals with Spotlight or file search from the Finder, you may find the originals and previews of edited versions, that Aperture creates to share with the Media Browser. In addition to exporting the images, you can access them using the Media Browser from all applications that are compatible with iLife: Mail, Pages, Keynote, iWeb, ...

How do I scan large black and white documents, creating the smallest file size possible?

I am attempting to scan a 70 page document and prefer it to be a file small enough to send through regular email. I am not interested in zipfiles, i am not familiar with them. I have been scanning and converting to .pdf for years, using the lowest dpi reasonable, but my file sizes are still quite large (compared to other .pdf's that are emailed to me). I know there is a way, just haven't figured it out.

Black and white photos turning red

I've scanned some black and white negatives and have the jpegs in my iPhoto libray. After I've edited my photos and view them, they turn red. In the thumbnail they are OK, but when I view them in a full size picture they are red. How can I get them to display in the normal B&W?

Make sure they have an RGB colour profile. iPhoto supports RGB - it's what camera's shoot in.

I am scaning all old pictures, docts, slides ,but I have alot of b&w negs verious sizes, how can I turn them into b&w positives??

Hi Teddy.
The MP Navigator EX software that was bundled with your CanoScan LiDE 700F can be used to scan your black and white negatives. To use the MP Navigator, please follow these steps:
1. Start MP Navigator EX and open the Navigation Mode screen.
2. Point to Scan/Import and click Film.
3. Place the film on the Platen.
4. Click Specify... to set the document size and scanning resolution as required.
5. When setting is completed, click OK.
Important
Film may not be scanned correctly when Film Type in the Scan Settings dialog box is set to Auto. In that case, select the type of film in Film Type and scan again.
Note
To scan black and white film, it is recommended that you select Black and White Negative Film or Black and White Positive Film for Film Type in the Scan Settings dialog box.
6. Click Scan. Preview scan starts. When preview scan of the film is completed, the preview image appears.
Important
If a message for calibration appears, remove the film, then place the Film Adapter Unit over the first frame of the Film Guide and click OK.
7. When the calibration is completed, follow the on-screen instructions to load the film into the Film Guide, then click OK.
Note
Preview image does not appear when the Preview before scanning checkbox is not selected in the Scan Settings dialog box. The scanned images appear directly in the Thumbnail window.
8. Select the checkbox of the frame and click Scan. When scanning is completed, the Scan Complete dialog box opens.
9. Select Scan or Exit. To scan another frame, place the Film Adapter Unit over the frame you want to scan, then select Scan. Select Exit to end.
The scanned images appear in the Thumbnail window.
10. Edit the scanned images as required. Use Edit Tools to rotate images, select a part of an image, etc.
Note
First select images to edit. (Selected images are outlined in orange.) Drag the mouse or use Shift + arrow keys to select multiple images.
11. Save the scanned images.

How to identify black and white images for dynamic collection ?

Hello
I would like to make a dynamic collection to quickly find my black & white pictures. It is very easy to do with your original files which have undergone a black and white (Grey) conversion under the developpement module : you have to specify "treatment - is - Grey level" in the dynamic collection description.
But what about original Grey levels images ? I have some scans of black and white negatives, and I would like to see them in the same collection.
I have tried to use EXIF metada, but none of them is related to this information (neither does IPTC). But such images are well detected as Grey levels images in the development module...
I don't know how to do (unless manually tagging images of course).
Does anybody have a clue for an automated solution ?
Thanks
Erwann

yes Eclipse 2.0 provides runtime chartting.
Please refer to this thread
[chartting|Re: Charts won't appear in CR Viewer?]
void AddChart(ReportClientDocument clientDoc, String chartTitle)
ChartDefinition chartDefinition = new ChartDefinition();
chartDefinition.setChartType(ChartType.group);
IDataDefinition dataDefinition = clientDoc.getDataDefController().getDataDefinition();
Fields conditionFields = new Fields();
IField field = dataDefinition.getGroups().getGroup(0).getConditionField();
conditionFields.addElement(field);
chartDefinition.setConditionFields(conditionFields);
Fields dataFields = new Fields();
for (int i = 0; i < dataDefinition.getSummaryFields().size(); i++)
IField summaryField = dataDefinition.getSummaryFields().getField(i);
dataFields.addElement(summaryField);
chartDefinition.setDataFields(dataFields);
ChartObject chartObject = new ChartObject();
chartObject.setChartDefinition(chartDefinition);
ChartStyleType chartStyleType = ChartStyleType.pie;
AreaSectionKind chartPlacement = AreaSectionKind.pageHeader;
chartObject.getChartStyle().setType(chartStyleType);
chartObject.setChartReportArea(chartPlacement);
chartObject.getChartStyle().getTextOptions().setTitle(chartTitle);
chartObject.setHeight(5000);
chartObject.setWidth(5000);
chartObject.setTop(1000);
IArea reportHeaderArea = reportDefController.getReportDefinition().getReportHeaderArea();
Section chartSection =(Section)reportHeaderArea.getSections().getSection(0);
clientDoc.getReportDefController().getReportObjectController().add(chartObject, chartSection, 1);
Further you can format the fields as per your requirement.
Hope this helps

Printing in black and white only - looking for a definitive solution

Hi
I've been trying to find out once and for all how to make sure my black and white text documents are printing only from the large pigment-based cartridge (525 PGBK), rather than using the smaller black dye-based cartridge (526BK), or from a combination of the dye-based colour cartridges. I've trawled through endless forums, and finally in frustration I recently called Canon's Australian phone support team.
I thought I'd nailed it. The phone support person told me that if the document I'm printing is definitely black only, then all I need to do is print normally, with grayscale DE-selected. He said nothing about also de-selecting duplex. But I've since read online advice that contradicts this in relation to other models (I haven't found any advice based specifically on the MG6150, apart from the phone guy from Canon). Some say you need to SELECT grayscale and DE-select duplex; others say to DE-select both grayscale and duplex; others say to select grayscale, DE-select duplex, and also select dither (on my screen that's under Main > Print Quality > Custom). I'm now wondering whether I've nailed it after all.
If anyone from Canon is reading this, can you please give a definitive answer to these questions:
1. How do I ensure that my black and white text documents print only from the large pigment cartridge?
2. Can I print in automatic duplex using this method, or do I have to do manual duplex?
2. Will this also work for purely black and white NON-text documents as well (e.g., photos that have been converted from colour to B&W)?
3. If not, is there another way of forcing B&W NON-text documents to print from the pigment cartridge? What about a way of forcing colour documents to print from the pigment cartridge?
4. If my smaller black dye cartridge (526BK) isn't being used up at the same rate as the other dye cartridges, is there a way of forcing the printer to use this instead of the pigment cartridge for B&W text documents, but NOT to mix in any of the colour cartridges at the same time?
5. Does this procedure work for all other Canon printer models in addition to the MG6150, or just a limited range?
Many thanks for your patience in reading this -- I'm really trying to get the best out of my printer rather than give up and buy a different brand, and I'm sure others would appreciate a definitive answer to these questions as well.

I have at MG8100 and it seems that there is no solution to this. I have scoured the web for one and it seems that there is no way to print in black and white only. The grayscale option uses all the colours including black to print.
I have gone through a ton of colour ink just printing black and white documents. Its cost me a fortune and I've worked out that I can get it done cheaper by going to the print shop.
As far as I am concerned this unbelievable. A printer that doesn't give you the option to print using black ink only! And its not advertised or made known in any way. You have to buy the product and then find out later that it does not have a black and white print option. It seems there are a lot of people out there that are unhappy about this, and the "problem" seems to go quite far back. Why haven't Canon responded by adding this feature?! I wont say it here, but I think it must be obvious. Brings to mind the story of housecleaning product manufacturers that increase the size of the closures so that consumers will use more of the product, which is actually wasteful, so as to increase the purchase cycle.
This leaves a really bad taste in my mouth. I'm flogging mine now, and I am done with Canon for good!

I am absolutely disgusted by this; clearly a scam from HP to make more money by selling extra ink cartridges!! I will make sure to never buy any products from the shoddy rip off merchants at HP ever again!!

Colorizing black-and-white comic strips

I have here scans of black-and-white comic pages
which I would like to colorize.
How can I do this with Photoshop Elements?
(I gues I have to make the white parts transparent first
and then add a layer for the coloring behind the
black-and-white layer. But how?)
(At the moment I'm using version 6.0 for Mac.)
Thanks.

Not sure that I understand the fine points being developed here.
As I see it, the points to take note of are these:
The best method for making coloured comic illustrations is to use a vector program, which will give smooth sharp-edged lines. Bitmap programs use anti-aliasing to provide the appearance of a smooth line, but this means that you have black lines edged with gray:
This becomes apparent when you create the fill layers and their masks:
By using the layers and masks, you quickly ensure that the anti-aliased areas are filled with the chosen colour:
By keeping the coloured areas on their own layers, you gain the ability to easily edit them. This comes in real handy if you want to change an area from a flat colour to one with shaded colours to give a sense of depth. You create a hue/saturation layer as a clipping mask for the appropriate layer, and you don't have to worry about colouring within the lines!

I scanned some black and white negatives into my computer (iMac) where they were stored aas positives on the hard disc. When I import them to iPhoto they turn back into negatives. How do I change them into positives for printing?
