Import picture black box

All,
I have created a custom X-Control for my application.  As a part of the control, I need to use a *.png image for the background.  I created the image to line-up with the XControl indicators.  However, when I import the picture (using "Edit" >> "Import Picture to Clipboard..." followed by "Edit" >> "Paste"), Labview puts these incredibly annoying black bars on the left and bottom edges of the imported image.  This gives the imported image a 3-D effect, which is undesireable in my application.
See attached screenshot for example.  Is there any way to import the image without the ridiculous black bars?  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!
Mark

Yes, good catch, such a 'bar' means that you have a floating element, it should be gone when you change your VI/XControl to run mode.
By moving the picture 'into' the page you embedded it and there was not a floating element.

  • JPG files import as black boxes

    After importing a batch of JPG files into iPhoto, several thumbnails appear as black boxes. If I open the image, it appears as a faint, semi-transparent image. Info shows that the imported image was the same size as the original. This has happened on two separate batches of JPG's from different sources. Any idea what's going on and how to fix?

    What colour profile are these files? What you describe is what occurs when you try to import greyscale or CYMK files into iPhoto, which supports RGB. Try use the Tools Menu in Preview to assign an RGB profile to one of the files and see if it will import.

  • Import Pictures dialogue box no longer appears on computer screen

    When I connect my Canon camera to my computer via a USB cable, the computer makes a sound and then a dialogue box has always appeared on screen that says "Import Pictures and Videos" but today although there is still a sound the diaglogue box no longer appears.  I can access it by going through several steps - clicking on my computer, the device, open, etc. but that is much less convenient. 
    I checked that autoplay is functioning and the import settigns have not been changed.  How can I get this feature back again?

    Hi,
    You may need to check the software which came with your camera and re-install it.
    Regards.

  • Importing Photoshop elements ... weird black boxes showing up in Motion.

    When I try to import a layer from a PSD file into Motion, it imports with a strange black box of the same dimensions as the layer.
    For instance, if I'm animating several letters of a word, and I import the letters separately, each letter comes into Motion bound within a black box ... almost as if I flattened the text against a black background.
    It's pretty annoying--any thoughts?

    The problem lies with the psd file. Could be a couple of things. Presumably, there is a proper alpha channel in Photoshop?
    Did you make sure that the image mode is set to RGB? Other color modes will give you strange results.
    If you select the psd in the Media tab, what does the inspector say about the alpha interpretation.
    Usually this works perfectly fine in Motion, so I'm leaning towards a problem with the picture.

  • PDF docs prints black boxes instead of my pictures, Printing with Reader works

    I have one user running the most updated version of Adobe Acrobat 9 (v9.4.5 I believe it is) and when she opens a PDF document that has pictues you can see the pictures and make changes to the document as needed.  However, when you go to print, all the images in the PDF document are all Black boxes.
    Now if I open this same file in Adobe Reader (any version thus far has worked) the images are there and print preview and printing all work, the images print.  It is just in Adobe Acrobat that I have black boxes.
    I would really rather not uninstall / reinstall if it can be avoided.
    thanks,

  • I just upgraded to iPhoto '11.  When it was finished many pictures do not appear.  I have a black box but the information for the picture is still there.  Some are raw and some are jpeg.  Also lost all albums.  Can anyone offer assistance?

    I just upgraded to iPhoto '11.  When it was finished many pictures do not appear.  I have a black box but the information for the picture is still there.  Some are raw and some are jpeg.  Also lost all albums.  Can anyone offer assistance?  Using iOS 10.7.5

    Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Pictures printing within a Black Box from a CP1518ni

    I have an HP CP1518ni Color LaserJet and while printing sell sheets that contain a lot of graphics, the product pictures are appearing within a Black Box (the normal format has the picture printing with a darkened area, but the problem is that product pictures are appearing within a second layer, black box.)    On my computer screen, this black box is not there and when i print on my inkjet, the picture print correctly.  i spoke with the creator of the sell sheets and it appears that it is a printer issue as opposed to an artwork issue.
    I tried printing from a different computer and the problem still exists.  I have also updated the drivers from the website and the issue still exists.  This is not happening on just one sell sheet, it is appearing on every sell sheet that uses the same format.
    Confused, frustrated and wasting expensive toner and paper...anyone have any suggestions??  Thanks!

    i just bought the same printer.. and had same problem..
    when you go to print... look left.. and see that you are printing "full page fax print"... it produces the black border..
    choose full page  photo print...right below that...
    problem solved...
    hope it helps..

  • Imported pictures are black

    I imported pictures into iPhoto and they are showing up as black rectangles. Yet when I doubleclick them to view them in editor the details of the pictures show up. Does anybody know why they show up as black rectangles, initially?? Are the smaller pictures the thumbnails? I don't want black thumbnails and would like to fix them so that they appear with picture details.

    You will have to do it outside of the library so export the all out of the library as original files. Then download and unzip this Automator workflow application, Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB profile and drop all of the photos onto it to batch process them. Import after completed.
    You can download the app from Toad's Cellar

  • When importing photos from my iPhone black boxes appear in place of random photos in the library and in Photostream.

    When importing photos from my iPhone black boxes appear in place of random photos in the iPhoto library and in Photostream. It has no apparent pattern, the photos are just blank. It's not just icons, when I go to edit the photos externally in Photoshop it opens an image filled with nothing but black.
    This is more than annoying. It's effectively deleting photos I'm taking on vacation and so forth.
    Anyone?

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Downloaded my itunes and on the top left hand corner the drop box doesn't show pictues/I can't import pictures from my dell computer to my iphone 4s 6.1.3

    The battery alone is a $5 to $15 part.  Hard drives vary in cost, and depending on the iMac, they may or may not be able to install a third party hard drive, or one resold through Apple.    The resold through Apple drives tend to cost more.  This article discusses the varying successes of third party drives on iMacs:

  • This black box is making noise--what is it? (pictures)

    I know there have been several threads regarding the white noise given off by Motherboards under heavy load.  I also have a K7N2G-ILSR and it has made the noise since day one.  Like others, I have tracked the noise to the little black box just above the mosfets near the CPU.
    When I press on it, the pitch of the noise varies.  Ideally, I would like to strip the tape from around the box and hot-glue the entire thing, but I want to make sure it won't hose everything. I don't care about the warranty, but if I can't make the sound stop, I'm liable to kill someone.
    I would like to know what the black box does and if anyone has any luck silencing the sound!
    Thanks!

    In this case it stores energy and timely releases it, In MSI's words, this is normal, as the environment is high frequency.
    To elaborate further on what I said before, what's likely happening is some of the components or that choke may be at the bottom or top of the allowable tolerance for manufacture. All electronics are not EXACTLY the same as far as components go. This is what's referred to as "parametric differences." You have the PCB, (printed circuitboard) CPU, RAM, peripherals, power supply, and, add to that, all the components that populate a PCB. A PCB is used on your VGA card, RAM, power supply, and ALL of your peripherals. All of these parts are manufactured with allowable tolerances, same goes for the PCB. Get the idea? See how this becomes an environment where things can easily get out of hand? Couple that with the fact of how many possible configurations can take place, and also that many of the componets and parts are manufactured by many different vendors.
    Take a circuit board for example, you have multiple layers, dielectric in between those layers, the foil or copper layers in the internals are a set weight or thickness but the outer layers are usually plated up and/or etched down (this can include the internals). The etch process is done with acid, and you get a minute bit of what's called "etch down" where if you were to look at a cross section of a routed trace, you would notice that there is a slight "V" shape since the acid will etch around the sides. The board vendor must compensate for the etch down by enlarging the original artwork. However, it will NEVER be exact every time. The general specs for most of the boards we produce are +/- 20% of the original artwork supplied in the design data. That is, if you have an .008 thousandths trace, we can be within .0016 of the original.
    Granted some tolerances are tighter when manufacturing high speed and impedance controlled designs, but you get the idea.
    Now, you have basically the same scenario when it comes to components as mentioned previously. That is why you see users reporting strange behavior, mind you, it's a small percentage, but it is generally exacerbated when multiple parts, components, and peripherals operate in a high speed, high frequency environment like today's performance PC's. It only takes a few things to be at the top or the bottom of a tolerance to create this anomaly, or another issue altogether.
    This is what I know personally through my experience as a PCB designer and manufacturer, and then being in the electronics and IT industry, and of course, an enthusiast

  • Pictures black no smartphone, preferences reset

    Does this mean I have a virus since all preferences were reset or was that from the beloved update?  I ran the check to see if I had that recent famous virus in the news and it was negative. 
    Most importantly, please tellme how I can recover pictures from my flip phone (no i-phone, no smartphone) that were transferred to my macbook then 10% of them converted to just a black box. : (
    I don't have a backup for these and really hope I can save them. 
    Thank You
    Sorry I am not good at message boards, if this is already out there, please redirect me; however, camera roll solutions don't work since the issue isn't the same on how do you say..a flip phone. : )

    Maybe reinstalling snow leopard will help fix it, but buying an apple has actually disarmed me.  I used to be good at finding viruses, deleting cache, cookies, temp files...and now I am clueless.  How do I get back to wahtever a snow leopard is so I can have my freaking flip phone pictures back?  I also LOVE how itunes update now asks me twice for my password when i open up the program (control freak), and how it RESETS preferences without my knowledge upon updates.
    I am not an automatic update girl (as you can tell by my phone model), and I'd like to decide when those occur, thank you very much.  God, I already miss the 90s and can't wait for this crap to phase out.
    Sorry for the rant, please help.

  • Videos on youtube and bbc radio iplayer display a black box instead of the player box.

    so yesterday morning i was using youtube and bbc iplayer fine and then last night they suddenly stopped working and i can't think of any reason why, i haven't updated or made any changes to anything in the last day. the pages load fine but where there was previoulsy the video or in the case of iplayer the picture with the controls on, there is now just a black box. i've tried uninstalling and reinstalling flash player but otherwise don't know what to do!
    i've also tried using internet explorer and have the same problem with this. i've tried to update firefox but cant get it to work, although i imagine this won't help anyway since ive got the same problem in internet explorer.
    Any help would be MUCH appreciated!

    You can check for problems caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and possibly downgrade to Flash 11.2 or 10.3.

  • Why a black box (or fuzzy "i") when opening an image?

    In one particular folder in "Events", when I click on an image to open, it opens to a black box or at best a fuzzy "i" - were the image should be, what has happened? All other options appear as normal but if I click "edit"for example - my options become unavailable and still have the black box were the image should be. 
    All other folders in Events are fine and no such problem occurs. In checking "preferences" nothing has changed as the problem folder preferences are the same as the others - likewise not aware I've changed anything either. I've gone into 'help" but just cannot find anything there unless I'm looking into the wrong place?
    Currently I'm on OS "X" 10.6.8 using iPhoto 09  - 8.1.2 (424) which hopefully will assist too?

    In your first post:
    In one particular folder in "Events", when I click on an image to open, it opens to a black box or at best a fuzzy "i"
    In your most recent post
    Currently no ! appears now, just a black box.
    These are different issues with potentially different resolutions. Assuming that there is no exclamation mark warning, but just a black screen:
    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
    5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    If none of these help:
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
    but this is just one folder with 211 images - all other folders are fine and working as expected. Reading what you have written, you are referring to the whole library which seems to be extreme?
    This is not just one folder or just 211 images. What you are seeing are symptoms of an issue in the Database file. If this file is damaged then your Library is damaged and this is what needs to be fixed. That's why deleting and re-importing won't help. You'll be re-importing to a database that is known to be damaged and unstable.

  • What is the best way to import pictures from iPhoto without compression?

    I'm trying to create a slide show using Final Cut Pro. No, I'm not interested in using iDVD slide show function because it doesn't allow me to do a whole lot. I would like to add titles and music for certain segments with video inserted here and there.
    Anyway, when I used the slide show function in iPhoto, exported it out as a quick movie file, and then imported it into Final Cut Pro, I noticed a significant downgrade in quality of images. It obviously looks different from when I play the slide show in iPhoto. What would be the best way to import pictures into Final Cut Pro without any compression?
    Thanks in advance.

    I only see Share > Export.
    Some versions of iPhoto work that way -it's just Apple moving things around.
    what's the difference between exporting it from iPhoto then import it into FCP vs. just importing directly from FCP?
    Your first post mentioned exporting a slide show from iPhoto -I assumed that is where your images are stored.
    I do not want to import pictures one by one...
    You don't have to. iPhoto will let you select as many as you want, or if the images are elsewhere, you can also select multiple files from FCP's Import dialog.
    ...and stick them together manually.
    Editing is an art and involves some effort on your part. It is not an automated process. This method opens up far more possibilities, access to filters and color correction and the opportunity to use Motion for even more sophisticated animation.
    But, it only allows me to export it as 720 x 480. The original size of my photos is 3872 x 2592. Is there any way I can create a quicktime file in the original size?
    You should be aware that 3872 x 2592 is not a standard pixel aspect ratio that is used in video. The images will be resized to the Sequence settings that you set up in Final Cut Pro.
    I have never used iPhoto to make a slideshow before, but I just gave it a try and was able to export one with the images in their native size, simply by typing the pixel dimensions into the boxes in the dialog window:
    I don't have PhotoMagico myself, but it comes highly recommended by several of the forum regulars.
    Perhaps one of them will see this discussion and help with your last question.
