Black and white images appearing sepia online

While editing i've made images black and white in lightroom. In my catalog they show black and white, in folders on my computer they show black and white.
However for some reason when I load them online, some of them will show with a sepia/brown tone.
It's only happening with a select few of the images and I can't figure out why.
At first I thought it was maybe a problem with blogger, but the images in question are loading sepia toned on Facebook as well.
I'm not applying any special features during export, adding tints, or changing color tone. And as I said, it's not happening to all of them.
You can see an example at this link :Rachel Mariesa Photography: Brett & Emma
The first black and white worked fine, and the rest are sepia looking.
Any suggestions would be welcomed, as this is very frustrating!

The problem isn;t that the images are black and white, but more likely that they have a greyscale color profile. iPhoto only supports RGB, so attach an RGB profile to the images and they will display correctly.

"warming up" a black and white image pse6

is there a way to change the tone of a black and white image to mimic the effect of using warm-tone photographic paper?

Mike,
I'm not sure what you mean by warm-tone photographic paper, but here are 2 methods I use to convert a picture to a sepia tone. They might work in your case.
For both methods, first convert the picture to RGB mode if not already so (Image>Mode>RGB Color).
Method 1
Add a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer. In the Hue/Saturation dialog window, check the Colorize box and play around with the 3 sliders. If the result is too harsh, try lowering the layer's Opacity.
Method 2
Set the background color to white (you can type "d" to set the default B&W colors). Use the Color Picker to set the foreground color to the tone you want.
Add a Gradient Map adjustment layer with the Color Blend Mode. In the Gradient Map window select the Foreground to Background option. If the result is too harsh, try lowering the layer's Opacity. You might also try changing the layer's Blend Mode to Multiply or Soft Light (or others) to get a slightly different look.

PSE 8 coloring a black and white image

Okay, so I downloaded a free trial of PSE 8, so my experience with it is limited, which may contribute to my problem. I've watched tutorials on how to add color to a black and white photo using the paintbrush tool, though I haven't watched one for PSE 8.
I'll make a new layer, paint part of the picture, and then add another layer. But when I click a different color to paint with, it changes the color of what I already painted, even though I'm on a different layer.
Also when I tried to just save the image with one part painted, it didn't save it, and the image looked as it did originally.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Hi,
Are you using the right tool to paint on a layer?
For coloring a black and white image, you need to save different areas of your image on a different layer and then use either Paint brush or a Paint bucket tool.
It seems that you are selecting a wrong tool. For selecting Brush, press B.
Then try painting on one part of the image and then go to the the color swatch present at the end of the tools panel on the left as :
Now click on the foreground color swatch(on the top) to change the color with which you want to paint.This will not change the color of other layers on changing the color.

Inverted black and white images in iPhoto 6

After I recently upgraded to OS X 10.4.8, a number of black and white images in my iPhoto 6 library started showing up inverted (like negatives) when I open them. The thumbnails, however, are in regular black and white. This didn't happen using OS X 10.4.3. I can't seem to find a tool in iPhoto 6 to convert these images to the correct display. Do you have any explanations or suggestions?
Macintosh PowerPC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

iPhoto 6 does not work well with Grayscale. You'll need to convert them to sRGB. They'll still be black & white, but they'll have a color profile that iPhoto 6 will accept. Old Toad created an Automator application to embed the sRGB profile into your photos. Go to his Toad's Cellar and download the "Embed wRGB Color Profile 2" App. In Finder go in your Originals folder, then drop a roll folder containing these photos onto the app.

What you are seeing is a kernel panic.

I hired a commercial artist to create a color image for the cover of a self published book. I want a black and white image for the inside. The commercial artist has not responded to this request. How do I determine the format of the color image, I'm guessing it's Illustrator's formatting but I don't know. How can I find out if Illustrator will open the file and allow alterations? The image opens only in Apple's Pages software?

rons,
It seems that all you have is a raster image, presumable PNG24 or JPEG, in RGB.
It may have been created as raster artwork in Photoshop, or it may have been created as vector artwork with the help of Illy, or as a mixture of vector and raster artwork in either application, or both combined.
If you just need to have a raster representation in black and white based on the current colour image, you may try this, in a new RGB document (View>Smart Guides are your friends):
1) File>Place the image (you may tick Link or untick and have it embedded);
2) Create a rectangle with black fill (R = G = B = 0), at least as large as the image, and place it behind the image (you may ClickDrag with the Rectangle Tool between opposite corners, then Ctrl/Cmd+X+B);
3) Select all and in the Transparnecy palette flyout click Make Opacity Mask with both Clip and Invert Mask ticked.

How can I create a black and white image similar to what I see in the "Replace Color" tool?

Hi all, I'm just wondering how I can create a black and white image similar to what I see in the preview window of the "Replace Color" tool. See attached screenshot for clarification -- I need the grass to be black while the soil is white or vice versa. Any tips?

One way is to use Select>Color Range
Make a new Color Fill Layer>White
(Layer>New Fill Layer>Solid Color)
Put a new color fill layer below>black
Just invert the layer mask on the top fill layer for the opposite effect.

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

Tej

Scaling 1-bit bitonal black and white images

I have an image of a document that was scanned
black-and-white (1-bit color depth) that I need to display and
scale. When I use Flex's built in Image.Scale it scales very
"choppy" and unreadable. When I scale the same image in Photoshop,
it seems to use much more antialiasing, and the form is clearly
recognizable, even at just 125 pixels wide.
Is there a way to get Flex to use a better scaling algorithm
for 1-bit images? It seems to do a smashing-good job with
full-color image scaling.

thx for answering
You understood right, I have enough memory for saving 1-bit images, but
Graphics.drawImage(Image img, int x, int y, int anchor) can draw only RGB images so each time I want to draw some image, I have to remake 1-bit images into RGB images, it takes a lot time, so I need to make some optimization
My application draws symbols, but symbols are presented by Glyphs, so I draw some black&white Glyphs

Hello Frank and welcome to discussions,
Try this key stroke...
Hold down the Control Option Apple keys then hit 8. This will toggle the effect as well.
Control + Option + Apple then hit 8.
Hope that helps some

Adding color to a black and white image

How do you add a splash of color to a black and white photo? I have this beautiful picture of my daughter in a ballet tutu and I would like the pic to be black and white and her leotard to remain pink.

To colorize a B&W, please refer to my reply in the recent forum topic "Photo Elements 6.0 question" : http://forums.adobe.com/thread/492539?tstart=0

Creating a stamp or brush from black and white image

Once befoe I imported a file from my genealogy file and it came in with a transparent backgrount. It is a black document with a white background. I exported it from a Family Tree Maker file. I'm not sure how I changed the background to be transparent. I was using PSE 6 then. When I pulled on into PSE 9 it keeps the white background. I have an option to export the file from Family Tree Maker I have several file options, pdf, jpg, bmp, png, or emf. I have tried all but emf. Is there a way to create the "stamp" or "brush" from the black printed portion of the image?

When you have the file opened in PSE, double-click on the background layer to convert it into a regular layer. Then you can use the Magic Wand tool to select the white area (de-select the "Contiguous" option, and use a high tolerance value of 85 or so). Hit your Delete key and you'll have a transparent background. Then save it as a PNG file, which will preserve the transparency.
Is that what you're looking for?

Black and white images in iPhoto.

Hello all,
As my old Photoshop no longer works in Leopard, I wanted to use iPhoto to view a collection of jpg format BW images made from hires scans of the negatives. However, after importing them from an iMac file, I saw only black spaces instead of the images.
Am I doing something wrong?
With best wishes for 2008
GeTe

Thanks TD for that - I think my grey cells need converting to RGB too:-)
I asked the same question some time ago, and forgot the answer...
Photoshop is the real way to go.
Thanks anyway.
