All photos suddenly look grainy UNTIL I zoom in [Photoshop CC]

A couple of days ago, all the sudden, every picture I bring up in Photoshop CC looks very grainy until I zoom in a couple of times. When I bring it up in Bridge, it looks fine, even after I edit it in PS. A few days ago I had been working on photos from the same photo session and they didn't do it. Now when I bring up one of those photos from several days ago they also look grainy, too - but only when I view them full size in Photoshop CC. When I zoom it, they look normal, but I can't edit them zoomed in. I restarted the computer but that didn't help.Do I need to change a setting in Photoshop? Hope this makes sense. Thanks for any help. ~Valerie

Hi, I am having exactly the same problem. Very frustrating as I have deadlines to meet. Graphics that I am placing into a PSD were designed by graphic designers, and have used them before, but suddenly they are very grainy. I have looked at the suggested solution but Performance is set at 4. I've attached a picture should like as well as what the PSD file looks as a screen shot. Hope that someone can help. Many thanks.

Dropped ipad. All Photos now look like the thermal camera in photo booth app. Any Fix?

My sister dropped her ipad. All photos now look like thermal camera photo in Photo Booth App. Any fix?

I think this is unlikely to work, but have her check Settings>General>Accessibility>Invert Colors>Off. It's hard to imagine that her dropping the iPad would cause a setting to change on it's own, but it's worth a look anyway.
If it wasn't that setting, have her reset her iPad and see if that fixes it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that doesn't help, then she could try restoring the iPad, and if that fails, a trip to an Apple store would be in order.

All photos suddenly disappear

ALl photos and album in iphoto suddenly disppeared.it is just like when I have bought my MAC back. I tried to import but the iphoto closed automically. what could I do?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

All photos suddenly appear "black" within their frames. Help!

Between importing photos from my camera and quitting, then reopening the program again a few days later, my photos all now suddenly appear completely black (the same color as the window's background). In every photo folder I have, the correct number of photos appear. They are even oriented the way they would be, except, of course, that the contents of each photo (highlighted in blue, or with the usual thin white frame) is blank. Slideshows show blanks (black screen) with music playing as usual. The iPhoto library still contains the photos, with thumbnails, and I can open the files and view the photos in the iPhoto library using Preview.
Why can't I see the photos within the program itself???

Lude:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Are you referring to the thumbnails or the full sized image in the Edit window?
It's an issue in iPhoto 6 that some fixed by updating to 10.4.6 using the COMBO updater followed by a repair of disk permissions with Disk Utility.

All my images look sepia toned when opened in photoshop

I have new laptop with Photoshop cs4. I have a Nvidia Geforce GTX 660M 2G hard drive in the lap top. The colors look great in everything but Photoshop. Everything in Photoshop has a yellowish almost sepia toned tint. I have been trying to figure out what is wrong for several day... (and several hours for several days). I understand that Photoshop color corrects, but if I have de-saturated an image why does it still look sepia in Photoshop and B&W everywhere else?

Your monitor profile is hosed. You need to calibrate your monitor, preferably with a hardware calibrator puck, and generate a fresh monitor profile.
While other applications are not color managed, Photoshop is color managed and uses your monitor profile to send the colors to your monitor through your monitor profile, which other applications ignore.
You can start learning about color management here:

All photos displayed in Lightroom are very dark

This has just started in the last few days. Now all my imports into Lightroom 1.4.1 appear very dark compared to shots on camera display or same photo displayed outside Lightroom. This applies to dng, raw, or jpeg. Old libraries now all appear dark. If you adjust in Lightroom to look right they appear washed out in every image viewer outside Lightroom. Import a jpeg that was previously exported from Lightroom and looked fine now looks very dark when imported back into Lightroom. I have reinstalled program and tried every setting I could think of and all photos still look very dark.

Hope this fixes it. Deleting the default profile will make windows (and therefore Lightroom) assume your display is exactly sRGB. This is a good first approximation, but to get correct color you need to actually calibrate. Note that after calibration, Lightroom and unmanaged apps will not exactly correspond to each other, but they should be close. Most importantly, the contrast should be the same as long as you calibrate to the standard gamma of 2.2. You should see tiny differences in color saturation and in shadow colors - this is normal.

All of sudden my Apple Mail won't transfer photos from Mail to iPhoto using the "add to iPhoto" feature in the drop down menu

All of sudden my Apple Mail won't transfer photos from Mail to iPhoto using the "add to iPhoto" feature in the drop down menu. Do you know how to fix this?

mmchisholm - just so you know you're not alone, I too am having the exact same issue as of latest software update bundle. Have to manually add each photo until Apple issues solution or minor software update.

Lost all photos on my iPhoto and get the ERROR WRITING TO DISK when trying to reload from Time Machine. iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem writing to the volume containing your iPHOTO LIBRARY . Looking for solution.

Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
First, empty the Trash, if possible.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
find ~ $TMPDIR.. $ -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 $ 2>&- | wc -l | pbcopy
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear.
The output of the command will be a number. It's automatically copied to the Clipboard. Please paste it into a reply.
The Terminal window doesn't show the output. Please don't copy anything from there.

My iPad 3 makes all photos transferred from my PC look like they have a yellowish colour cast.

All photos transferred from PC have washed out, yellowish look to them. Same photographs appear fine on PC monitor and strangely, look fine when viewed through Flickr on iPad, not through Photos. All other colours look great on device. Same photos look fine too on my old first gen iPad. Any ideas?

I have several thousand photos in several folders. I have noticed that whenever I want to change the folder used as the side show source, it takes the Screen Saver Preference pane a very long time to respond. It is as if it is scanning all the photos in the currently assigned folder in order to display them in the preview window provided, and it gets so dogged down doing that it can't respond to my clicks on the Choose Folder option.
Assuming you don't want to redistribute your photos into a greater number of folders or subfolders so there would be fewer in each folder to process, you could try a workaround. Try moving your currently-assigned folder to your desktop temporarily, before opening the Screen Saver preference pane. If the preference pane can't find the old folder, it may immediately ask you to choose a new one. You could hopefully then do so, close the preference pane, and then put back the old folder.
It's my understanding that there will be no future updates to Tiger, only security fixes.

Every since I updated to the latest Camera Raw and Photoshop I have the following issue: when I finish the photo in Raw and bring it into Photoshop I have white squares in the Photo. If I crop the photo the white square disappears until I zoom to enlarge

If I crop the photo the white square disappears until I zoom to enlarge it then the white square reappears. I do not believe the squares are saved

Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?

All photos show the same icon until I enlarge them

While trying to organize my pictures, the icons for the pics all turned into the same photo. Once I enlarge the photo, it looks correct. How do I make the icon look like the picture?

What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later:
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 options to rebuild the thumbnails - in my experience this can take 3 or 4 goes.

Why do videos and photos look grainy in my iPad

If I take photo or video on my iPad 3 the video looks grainy and horrible. How can I fix this?

As iCrizzo said, more light will substantially improve the photos and videos. Keep in mind the cameras in the iPad are very small. they do not have high resolution or a lot of light-gathering capability. The more light you can provide, for example doing facetime in a well lit room, will be helpful.

Why did all my photos suddenly become flagged

The 9.3 update to iPhoto '11 was installed about a week ago, and I haven't done much with the library since then (though my wife has imported some pictures). This evening, I launched the program, created a new album, and then clickied on "Flagged" to link some of those photos into the new album. Somehow, Flagged is now showing every picture in the library (over 38,000) as "Flagged"). I don't think there was anything strange about the album creation ... it happened that I had highlighted another album as I executed the command, so my new album had those same 30-odd pictures linked and I had to remove them from the album. The initial display of "Flagged" showed only 18 photos ... untill I clicked on it.
Is this something that could have happened with the database rebuild from the 9.3 upgrade ?

Some additional data as I experiment with this. If I explicitly flag a photo in some other view, the Flagged category is temporarily restored to normalcy. But it reverts back to showing all photos in the library if I leave the properly functioning flagged folder and do some operations elsewhere in the library (moving photos albums, etc.).
