Black and white photo shows up as a colour photo in iPhoto

Hi all,
Can someone please solve this mystery for me?
I took a black and white photo with my Nikon D40. It appears as black and white when I play it back in the camera.
When I transferred this black and white photo, along with other colour photos, to iPhoto, it showed up as a colour photo on my computer.
Why is this?
Thanks for any insight...

You didn't take a black and white photograph. Your D40 can't take a black and white photo, it can only take full colour. To make the photo look black and white the D40 set a flag on the file. This flag is an instruction: display me a certain way. iPhoto is not aware of the flag and so shows you the full colour pic.
Regards

  • My black and white pictures show up colored

    My photos aren't the same as the filter I used in the camera when I was taking the picture, for example my black and white photos show up colored.

    Have you checked your ink levels and the inkjet jets for plugging?

  • Can I print in just black and white from my iPad to an hp5510 photos mart printer?

    Blac and white only from iPad to hp printer

    Hi Tigmay,
    Welcome to the HP Support forums.  I understand that you would like to print black and white from your iPad to your Photosmart 5510 printer.
    AirPrint doesn't support many print settings, such as grayscale and black only but don't worry there is a way it can be accomplished.  If you download the HP ePrint Mobile app to your iPad one of your print settings allows you to choose between color and grayscale and if the printer supports it, black only.  I have included a screen shot from my iPad of the HP ePrint app that shows the setting.  The printer I had chosen (I don't have any of the Photosmart 5510 series printers) had the option of black only.  I've also included the HP ePrint Mobile App FAQ document for your reference.

  • Will a black and white logo show up good on a black T-shirt?

    I'm creating a black and white logo and I wanted to know if it would show up good on a black shirt. Thanks in advance.

    That's not really enough information, Chris. Are you printing black ink on the black shirt? That has the potential to either come off as a cool, "stealthy" look, or an essentially indiscernible waste of ink. It depends on how different the ink and fabric are in terms of darkness and reflectivity.
    If you post an example of the artwork, it would be easier to advise you.

  • Why is my black and white video showing purple/green color cast from ProRes 422 h264?

    When transcoding from ProRes 422 to h264 in Adobe Media Encoder, I'm seeing both green and purple color cast on my black and white video.  ProRes on top, h264 on bottom.

    What do you make of the fact that the same video, encoded in MPEG Streamclip does not have the issue on the same hardware, played in Quicktime Player?
    A valid data point for consideration, but the only way to know with certainty is to get the image onto a calibrated TV.
    Observation will always trump deduction.  So...observe!  (Just be sure to do it accurately with a calibrated TV.)
    The Vimeo preset is creating H.264 MP4 files.  AVCHD is a very specific subset of the H.264 codec, and cannot be generated by PP.

  • When I open CR2 RAW files from Powershot G10 they are in black and white. How do I get colour

    I'm using Elements 13 on a PC running Windows 8.1. Each time I open a CR2 RAW file from a Canon Powershot G10 it displays in black and white. The image transferred to Elements is still in black and white. Why can I not see the image in colour?

    Try holding down your Alt or Option key. The Cancel button in the Raw dialog will change to Reset.
    Click on that Reset, and hopefully it goes back to defaults.

  • How best to print a color photo in black and white

    I use the Black and White adjustment on a series of colour photo's I've taken.  However when I go to print the photo's, colour still comes out in the print.  Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

    It might be a problem with your printer's color profile. Did you try to set the color profile in the print dialogue to "black and white" (choose: "more options" in the print panel) ?

  • Updated To Mountain lion and since then aperture software is all "black and white"

    Hi Folks,
    Since I have upgraded to Mountain Lion, my Aperture (3.4 now) is having a black and white looking field (all menus and icons are in black and white). Tried to repair but still does not work , argggg
    Thanks
    Cheers !
    G99

    Unfortunately, that is a feature and not a bug.
    It's the new design since Lion - Iphoto already has gone gray before Aperture See for example these links:
    Re: After updating to Aperture 3.3 all my icons appears in Black and white. This includes the inspect button, photo stream button, the Facebook / flicker share button. Could you please help here ?
    How to bring back the color: (for experienced users only)
    Re: Have today loaded the 3.3 up date on Aperture. After the up date the colour of the Menu Bar and all icons showing projects / albums etc are now grey. Any thoughts on how to reestablish the colours.
    There are many more threads on this. Browse a little.

  • Can I print in just black and white from my iPad to an hp5510 photosmart printer?

    Can I print in just black and white from my iPad to an hp5510 photos mart printer? 
    It seems ePrint is no longer available and now forced to use HP Connect. I am not seeing the option to print in black and white. Printing email messages in color is a waste of ink. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    I was using ePrint however that is auto-directing me to HPConnected and I no longer have the option to change the printing options to Black and White or Color. This is a recent change for me.

    Hi,
    Yes, you have to use HP Connected now. Do you use AirPrint or ePrint ? ePrint allows you to select Color or Grayscale under Color mode (note: Grayscale ALSO uses color inks).

  • Random Visio Stencils Displaying Only as Black and White Lines (No colour)

    I'm experiencing a strange problem where some Visio stencils/shapes are displaying only as black and white outlines (i.e. - without any colour). I'm using Visio 2010 on a Samsung NC900 laptop with 8gb RAM, 1.7Ghz i7 CPU on Windows 7.
    The symptoms that I'm experiencing are:
    The majority of stencils display fine in the left hand stencil window but some do not.
    Some stencils display the majority of shapes as black and white outlines but some in full colour.
    Some shapes display fine within the stencil window but change to black and white outline when I drag them to the drawing (These are typically ones that I open independently of the drawing - i.e. - by double clicking rather than via "Search Shapes").
    I've done a search on the web for this problem and have found some similar issues but none of the suggested fixes work.
    One of the stencils that I experience this issue with is the Exchange 2013 Microsoft stencil.
    I've updated Java and Silverlight (stab in the dark there) and my graphics driver is up to date.
    It's driving me mad now so any help would be appreciated!

    The remove profile worked like a charm with the greyscale images. Maybe a slight loss of contrast, but I'll hold the tiff scan in any case. I-photo would not import the image again (already in the library) but I can remove the profile on the image in my folder outside i-photo. And I think I can prevent it at import now.
    Thanks! I doubt I would ever have figured that one out.

  • Ipod photo stuck in disk mode and screen is in Black and white

    came to use my ipod photo after about a week of not using it. when i took it out the colour screen was in black and white and the screen is stuck to saying it is in disk mode with a large tick.
    the ipod will mount and does show up in itunes it will even play songs via itunes. i have tried resetting to no avail and my next option was to restore to factory settings which i am loathe to do as i have songs on my ipod that are no longer in my itunes library.
    anyone had similar issue or can suggest a fix
    thanks

    well the problem has been solved...hope this may help others having this issue.
    i basically just let the battery run out, then connected the ipod to my laptop and voila...it reset and all is well again...
    pretty random, but glad it is all working again.

  • 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!

  • Macbook display shows black and white lines when fullscreen

    If i leave my Macbook on for a while without shutting down and then I view a photo or movie (in player or safari) fullscreen the screen shows just black and white lines. Sort of like bad tv reception. It has happened a few times and a reboot has fixed it but it comes back. Any ideas anyone?
    Thanks

    I have a similar problem. Not sure you're on here (since the post is really old) but did you manage to work it out? How?
    My thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/19007548#19007548
    My Imac froze earlier today as I was dragging an image from safari into indesig and when it froze the weirdest pattern overlaid the screen. It looked just like the opacity pattern from photoshop with grey and white squares. I turned the computer off using the power button and unplugged everything.
    Now when I try to start it these weird lines appear on my start up screen (see link)...
    http://meijerladdaruppgrejer.wordpress.com/2012/07/24/oops/
    as you can see the apple and the wheel appears as normal...
    ... then it moves to a normal looking white screen (perhaps a bit greener than usual) and around 30 seconds later freezes at the blue screen.
    I've tried the cmd + alt + p + r several times but it won't help.
    If i press alt during start up I can see and choose my hard drive but just end up at the blue screen again.
    Can I try starting it up in safe mode or something?

  • Why black and white photo changed back color after exported?

    The photo I took shows up in black and white but after I exported the photo, none are black and white.  Why is that?
    I can see it as black and white while on the iphone.

    You need to duplicate your color photo. 
    1. Open your color photo in PSE11 Full Edit expert tab (A raw photo will open in camera raw so click the open image button too send it to the PSE interface)
    2. On the Top menu click Layer >>Duplicate Layer >>OK
    3. On the top menu click Enhance >>Convert to Black & White >>OK
    4. If you can’t see the layers pallet to the right click Window >>Layers
    5. In the layers pallet click add layer mask (the icon with a small circle)
    6. Make sure your foreground color is set to black then select the brush tool
    7. Click the mouse over the area where you wish to reveal color and use like an eraser to reveal the background below
    8. To correct errors switch the foreground color to white, then switch back to black and continue
    9. Save as PSD to preserve your layers and if you wish make a jpeg copy from the PSD file using File >> Save As
    N.B. if your brush is too big or too small you can use the square bracket keys to adjust the size up or down.
    The smart brush tool has black & white options but it does involve making selections which can be more tricky than using the ordinary brush.
