There is a black square in the middle of my image on Photoshop. HJow did it get there and how do I get rid of it?

Are you using NIK plugins?

Black Square Image on Screen

There is an image of a black square with an up arrow on the lower right corner of my screen. Does anyone know what that is? Sometimes it has a line though it. Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Ruggs,
Can you tell us a bit more? What model system do you have? What OS were you running?
When did this first happen? I.e. after any updates, etc?
If you go into the BIOS, does it see the hard disk listed?

IMAQ image with black squares

Hi. I'm using LabView to take a series of images with a camera. When I
preview the image in the camera's software it appears normal. I use
Labview/IMAQ and the VIs that came with the camera. The problem is that
the output TIFF files have this nasty black square checker pattern. I'm
making 8bit images. I there something I can change in IMAQ or the
output as TIFF that could explain this problem? Or is it likely
something in the third party VIs? I can explain more if need be.
Thanks,
-SHane

Shane--
The first thing to check whether it is the 3rd party VI's or not. You didn't even mention what kind of camera you are using, but whether you have a framebrabber or not, if you go to Measurement and Automation Explorer and try to do a snap there do you still see this behavior? This is where you can directly interact with the driver to see what the software is interpreting from your camera. Depending on what type of camera you have you may need a camera file. You can check at www.ni.com/camera to see if we have one. If not, you might check with the manufacturer, if they have VI's they might also have the camera file. If you respond back please include what type of camera and framegrabber you are using. Also, what type of video signal does the camera send out? [If its is a standard you won't need the camera file] Just let me know and we can work from there.

Image shares screen with a black square

Recently, whenever I start to edit a screenshot, the following happens -
1. I take a screen shot. I am using a PC with Windows 7 operating system. I am using Photoshop Elements v. 12.1.
2. I go to "New" in file and "Image from Clipboard"
3. The image is now displayed with a black square at the right. Please note - this is a recent problem. I strongly suspect I selected a button that caused this, but I have no idea what button. I would love to know if other people have encountered this problem and, if so, how did you fix it?

Hi,
Do you have two monitors with the screen extended on to the second monitor?
How are you capturing the screen?
If you only want to capture the active window, then try using Alt + PrtScn
Since you are using Windows 7, you could use the Snipping Tool. That enables you to select part of the screen and copy it to the clipboard.

I was on 7.1 and just updated to 7.1.2. Issue is I dint backup my iphone in 6 months as I did not have a permanent laptop. Now I just got a new laptop and decided to backup my iphone and also upgrade to 7.1.2. Issue is - while the update was in progress I disconnected the cable since I was getting late for an appointment. Now when I got finally upgraded to 7.1.2, I dont see my apps and music anymore. They all seem to disappear. I cant even back up to the older date. All I see is the option to back up to the 7.1.2 version only. The only solace is I still have photos intact. Rest all data seems to be gone. Please help!!! urgent!!!
Apps aren't part of the backup, only the app data.
See if you can redownload apps - settings - apps - update - purchase - hit cloud to redownload app.
Did you copy your iTunes media library to your new laptop?

IPhoto 8- Pictures import as black square

Have encountered a problem when importing (2) jpg images to Iphoto 8. Images have been saved on desktop and then imported to Iphoto with result a black square. Have tried importing images to other photo albums as well as to a PC with no problem.
Can anyone out there help? I am a newbie to Mac

Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
What is the source of these photos? The most common cause of "black" photos is that the photos are not RGB (the only color model supported by iPhoto) - if they are scanned photos and have a gray scale color profile you will have to change them to sRGB to work in iPhoto -- If that is it and you have lots to do, Old Toad has an automator script to do bulk conversions - search his posts for a link

Stupid transition bug... black square appears

Hello
I am not very experienced with flash at all... but I wanted to make a nice slide show swf file to go on a CD of images I am creating for someone. I figured out how to put them all in layers, do motion tweening on each after they'd been converted to symbols, brought the color>alpha to zero at frame one and brought it up or down at the right times to fade in and then out.
beautiful...
except it only works on the stage. I can press play and it looks great... but if I test movie or test scene, or even if I export the movie, it doesn't work at all.
As soon as the slides begin a mysterious black square appears. It seems to have something to do with the actual fading in or out. It's not a layer that wasn't set at alpha= 0... I checked and double checked them all. I can't see anything amiss.
I checked the tutorials I could find and nothing seems to be missing and yet, it isn't working so something must be wrong or done incorrectly. I don't understand why I can only see it on testing and not during playback

Same situation here. A workaround is to edit the photo change the filter, save the picture. Now the picture shows up normaly. Do you call the camera app from the lock screen or the home screen?
If I start the camera app from the home screen he problem doesn't appear.

How come everytime I view a pic from an email on my iPad, there's a black square instead of the pic?

Whenever I pull up an email, instead of displaying the pic, it displays a black square. How do I fix this?

I'm sure there are plenty of people that you knew what you meant but I just wasn't familiar with the terminology. I assumed thats what you meant but I wasn't sure. After I posted my son explained it to me as well.
I don't know that much about this issue but from what I've read in the past, I assumed that it normally indicates that the photos are being sent in an unrecognizable format which would be really hard to believe if it happens with every email that you have been receiving.
Do you have load remote images turned on in settings? Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Load Remote Images>On?
Have you tried emailing a photo to yourself and see what happens? if not - try sending an email to the iPad from you computer. Have you tried tapping and holding down on the photo to bring up the save or copy option to see what happens? Maybe save one of the photos and see if it opens in the photos app?
Have you tried resetting your iPad? Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears - ignore the re slider?

Printing Black squares

Hi, Every time I try and print a photo in Aperture 2.1 to my Epson colour laser printer all I get is a black square the size of the photo, with the crop marks. I never had this problem in Aperture 1.xx. I've tried exporting the image to a pdf and printing that, but I get the same thing. If I export the photo to photoshop, it prints fine. I've tested this with a few photos, both colour and black/white.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

G'day Appletog, I haven't resolved the issue. I tested it on my inkjet Epson and all printed fine so I put down to an incompatibility with the Aculaser. That being said, if you have had joy printing with your Aculaser, I might give it another go. I had created a new user account and tried printing from it, but no luck. I've even tried dumping the PrintPresets.plist for Aperture without any luck. At present time I'm exporting or opening my pics in Photoshop and printing from it.

My newest events show up as black squares

The newest events I've imported show up as black key photos and no images show when I roll my mouse over the event. When I am in photos view all the pictures show up and can be opened. It looks like this:
When I change the size of the events by using the bottom right slider I can see the event key photos, but as soon as I release the slider the events return back to black squares, as shown below:

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 rebuild the thumbnails. It can take 3 or 4 goes for this to work

Why do I have a black square in the middle of my page

I convert a pdf to word and it has a black square in the middle of the page.

Hi bezigzagman,
I'm sorry that your file didn't convert as expected. Please try the conversion from within Reader, and disable OCR by following the instructions in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (OCR) when converting PDF to Word or Excel. Disabling OCR can solve some conversion issues (but note that if your original PDF contains images with text, that text won't be selectable/searchable) in Word.
Best,
Sara

Black squares and dots

On occassion, (happening more often lately but not all the time), when my wife turns on her powerbook, there are little black squares and dots all over the screen. If you go to the monitors control panel and change the number of colors or the resolution, the problem disappears. Any ideas?
Thanks

Not sure if this will solve your particular prob (trashing prefs, as suggested, is also a good idea) but this sometimes help:
1)To create a disc image, once you have your iDVD project the way you want, use Save As Disc Image under the File submenu. It will now go thru all the encoding as normal, (you don't need to insert a DVD) but instead of burning the project,it will create a dmg disc image file to a spot of your choice
2) Once you have your disc image, you can open it in your Mac's Disc Utility (Applications>Utilities>Disc Utilities). There, you will see a Burn button; it will ask you to point it to your saved Disc Image. Follow directions to burn the DVD (this will be speedy since you have already done the encoding)
Again, not sure if this will help with your particular issue, but it sometimes help to eliminate certain iDVD insecurities

Black squares?

Following edits in plug-in programs (NIK, TOPAZ) the PS image has white or black squares randomly spaced over it. I can't move them or get rid of them.

Good day!
Are you certain the plug-ins are the right ones for the version of Photoshop you are using?

hi,
just before thinking taht a problem is caused by hardware, it is better and also cheaper to try to eliminate and isolate the problem within software.
first of all, as the simplest way, just create a new user and then try if the same problem exists.
if not, boot your mac using a well-known media. most probably your installation CD or DVD.
and let us know about what is happening.

Vibe Z2 Pro - black square in Instagram

Hi!
When i try to post in Instagram i become black square instead of photos.
If i disable the high-quality image processing in the program settings, everything works, but the pictures are loading very poor quality, that is unacceptable.
Previously on other devices such problem never occurred.

Actually I was able to fix it myself by picking through instagram's settings. Go to IG's settings then under camera un-tick 'use ig's advanced camera' and 'high-quality image processing'
