B&W photos turn into negatives

I transferred some photos, some black and white, to iPhoto8 and when I double click them to enlarge them in iPhoto a few of the B&W photos turn into negatives. When I first transferred them the icons were black; I updated the icons and got the pictures back but now they show in the icons as positives, in the enlarged view as negatives. How can I correct this? I want to make a slideshow in the MacBook as it has the later version. They show correctly in iPhoto 5 on the Mac Quicksilver.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
The usual cause of the problem is that the photos have a greyscale color profile attached to them. iPhoto only works with RGB profiles. You can change the profile using the Tools menu in Preview.

    No, it is a design feature for people with visual impairments.  Press home button 3 times again and it will be switched off.. If you do not want these options you can turn them off in the Accessibility section of Settings.

  • NEF(raw) photos turn into jpg when i drag from iphoto to my desktop?

    why do my NEF(raw) photos from my nikon D90 turn into jpg when i drag them from iphoto to my desktop? i can not work on them in PS unless i dig into the original files in the masters list. i download them from the card, both go in, and if i look at the info it says that they are both there one in jpg and one in raw format side by side.  what am i missing and how can i drag the raw photo onto the desktop keep it in that format so that i can then put into PS.

  • Any idea why images in pdf files turn into negatives?

    I have noticed that anything saved in a pdf format, shows up as a negative on the ipad. Pictures and colours used in headers, etc. Very strange. Have noticed this in Goodreader as well as in email.
    Thanks.

    More information is needed.  How are the PDF's being created?  Where are they coming from?  All the same source or any PDF you open on the iPad?  Have you tried a reset?  Restore?  Other?

  • My photos turn into documents when draggedt to desktop

    Why does this happen?
    And when I try to access it from desktop it wont open.
    Curious. Thanks

    Sorry that deleting iPhoto's preferences didn't work for you.
    Also try repairing permissions. With iPhoto closed, go to your Utilities folder and open Disk Utility. Select your Hard Drive using its name, not the numerical icon.
    Then click on the 'repair disk permissions' option and wait for the process to finish.
    You also might want to clean out your caches. You can use an app like "CacheOutX" for this.
    Then, try a computer restart and then relaunch iPhoto and see if you still have the same problem. Post back if it is not resolved and we will try something further.

  • 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?

    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.

  • My iPad 2 screen has turned a weird colour. The background is black and the letters are white instead of the other way round and colour photos look like negatives. How do I change it back.

    My IPad screen has turned a weird colour, the background is white and the letters white instead of the other way round.  Colour photos look like negatives. How can I turn it back to a white background.

    Dear Steve,
    You are wonderful! You are the best! I'm Stephania and I recently purchased a refurbished ipad2. I've had it for about 3 weeks now and updating & fixing it so my liking. The only thing that I couldn't correct were the photos that looked like negatives. Every photo, even on the internet, on apps, everywhere! I just couldn't figure out how to fix it. I contacted Apple Care and its too difficult to get in touch with them. I had looked through support before but didn't put in the right question. Well, today I got lucky. I did the two things you suggested and turning the "White On Black" off did the trick. I'm so happy! I had a feeling it was something simple and this is not even in the manual!

  • Making a photo into 3D, photo turns low quality, can that be fixed?

    I have a photo in Illustrator CS3 that i am extruding and beveling into 3D. When i do this, the photo turns low quality. Can i make this back to high quality?

    >How can I do that?
    Ask your question in a new post instead of piggybacking onto a totally unrelated thread.
    State you version number. ALWAYS provide that information up front.
    Your question is vague and badly phrased. Please restate. Post a link to an image that explains what you want to do if you think it will help.

  • What causes my photos to disappear off of iPhoto.  They turn into ghost squares and disappear

    My iphoto  file has started turning my photos into llittle squares and the photos disappear.  I only need to scroll over photos and they just turn into squares and the photos are gone.  I have lost some very import family photos that may not be replaced. 

    Best bet. Restore from your backup from just before this started happening
    Or back up you iPhoto library, depress and hold the option and command keys, launch iPhoto and rebuild your iPhoto library

  • My Iphone 5S camera photo mode turns into black

    Why is my iPhone 5s camera photo mode turns into black & white. How do I fix it?

    Hello Viviong,
    You may have the Black & White filter applied.
    Apply a filter:  (iPhone 4s or later) Tap to apply different color effects, such as black & white. To turn off a filter, tap , then tap None. You can also apply a filter later, when you edit the photo. See Edit photos and trim videos.

  • IPhoto photos into iMovie - once rendered, photo turns black

    I posted under another thread, but decided this might be better posted to the larger group.
    I was working off of an external harddrive when the problem first manifested itself. Dragging a photo from the media pane into the time clip, I saw that the photo turned black and would not display after being rendered.
    I moved the drive to another Mac, also an iMac G4 but with a faster processor, and a slightly different experience occurred. Upon starting up the project, when I clicked yes to view the trash, the photos I had been trying to use were no in the trast.
    I put a few back and tried to apply the effects, but then the photo turned black. then I grabbed a photo from iPhoto again. The photo would show up but the Ken Burns effect would not stick. If it did stick, the photo turned black and wouldn't display. I saved and quit.
    Took my external harddrive to my Powerbook. Had better luck grabbing photos from iPhoto, but no Ken Burns effects worked.
    Now I'm back on my original iMac. This time I copied the project to the iMac's harddrive. Now there is another experience - a little closer to what I want but still not what I'm used to:
    I added the photo to the timeline, it rendered itself to black again. Much frustrated sighing.
    However, I had added some music to the timeline in the interim periods and just decided to view what I had. Lo and behold the black photo displayed with the Ken Burns effect. I added a couple more photos and they began to behave as they always have. You can see the photo in the time line. The black one is still black.
    All this is quite unsettling. I plan on doing a project with 60 students in October and need to know if anyone thinks this is a bug or what? Thanks for any insight.

    I am having the same problem images turning black when brought into the timeline Started when bringing in Photos from APERTURE 1.5. Thought this program was the problem so, I imported the same images into iPhoto. The problem does seem to "fix" when transitions are added , but this makes it difficult to edit and rearrange images. The hard drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (journaled). Shooting a Nikon D-70; D-200. Images a 2 - 5MG. Most confusing it is not consistent happens to some images and not others. Same problem happened when images were imported to iMovie.
    ANY SUGGESTIONS MOST APPRECIATED, TRYING TO COMPLETE A BIG PROJECT THIS WEEK.
    THANK YOU

  • Videos turned into photos?

    Hi. My iPhoto crashed recently- I rebuilt it using 'iPhoto Library Manager' after a helpful suggestion on this site.
    However, some of my small .avi video clips are now listed as .jpg photos, and have somehow become still photos, rather than the original videos.
    Sadly, I hadn't backed up these particular files- lesson learned.
    Is there any possibility of restoring them to .avi status? They don't appear to exist on the hard drive in any other format, nor in Trash.
    All help appreciated.
    Paul

    An imported video cannot change or get turned into a photo file by the import. An imported video will have an icon of a still frame from the video. Have you selected any of the imported videos in iPhoto to watch/play the video?
    With a Mac, you can import photos and videos with iPhoto or with the Image Capture application. One is not better than the other.
    To include your iPhoto library with your computer's backup, select and drag the iPhoto Library file located in the Pictures folder in your Home directory to the external hard drive.

  • Acrobat 8.1.2 Turn exported files into negatives

    Something happened. Yesterday when I was exporting PDFs from Acrobat 8 Pro to JPGs everything was working just fine, now today it turns them into negatives on export. They export to TIFF just fine but I would like to have them JPGs. I didn't change any settings at all. I have restarted and everything. Any ideas on how to fix this?
    I am using a Mac Pro with OS X 10.5.4

    Is this the same PDF file as yesterday?
