Dark blue in JPEG photo is distorted/saturated in iMovie, nowhere else

I am creating a movie with scanned jpegs. In some of them, I am wearing a dark blue suit. These photos look great in iPhoto (exactly like the original). But when I add it to iMovie, the dark blue suit looks distorted/saturated, especially in shadows. I tried using the video adjustments to correct it, but could not get a good result. I am using a high quality scanner (Epson Perfection 4870). The scans look perfect before they get into iMovie. They are at 300 dpi. I tried lowering the resolution, but that made it slightly worse. I made a DVD to see what it looks like on the TV (to see if my computer monitor may be acting screwy), but the problem is still there.

Try associating the sRGB IEC61966-2.1 profile with your monitor. Does the problem persist?
(by Noel Carboni)
-went to Control Panel
-Colour Management
-"Add"
-clicked on "sRGB ICC-whatever" and then hit OK
-made that new ICC profile default
Fail.
NYOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! >_<;;
Why did I not listen? TT_TT I really should've listened!
Well, they don't call me an idiot for nothing...
Thanks anyway, Noel... Yea it was the monitor's ICC profile. x_x

Transfer of JPEG Photos to 8gb nano crashes (blue screen) my Vista PC

I have today taken delivery of the new 8gb nano iPod. I have downloaded the latest Itunes and software etc. I have loaded the nano with music without any problem.
When I try to transfer a few JPEG photos from my PC (using the process detailed in the downloaded manual) to the nano, the PC crashes and the Windows Blue Screen (dump screen) appears. I have reduced the resolution of the photos but each time I try to transfer the photos, the PC crashes.
I am running Vista Home Premium OS on a 3 month old fairly high spec PC.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

This isn't what you want to hear, but I'm convinced there are lots of incompatibility problems with iTunes and Vista. At some point, Apple needs to acknowledge that audio/video intensive apps (like an iPod) will be run on higher end machines (with Vista) and put some real effort into that OS.
I sync my photos (and even videos) on an XP machine; the only thing I leave to Vista is music (and not even that all the time). Of course, that only helps folks who have access to an XP machine. In addition, I STILL haven't upgraded my firmware beyone 1.0 (still see too many issues with 1.0.2 and 1.0.3).

No line border and text in book is printed in black instead of dark blue

Just ordered my first photo book, and found that the text in the book is printed in black instead of the dark blue I thought I had used. I was advised by Apple to remove the 'plist' (had no idea what that was but found some info on Google) by dragging it onto my desktop, then log out and log in again and open the book again and once more choose the right color for the text, and then check the book as PDF in Preview before ordering it again.
I've done that and the text is now the color I want it to be, so I could go ahead and order it again now, I guess. Meanwhile that plist is still on my desktop - what should I do about that?
Besides, before ordering the book again I'd like to solve another problem with it, for which Apple didn't give me a solution, and that is that only part of the line borders in my Line Border Theme photo book are visible. There are no lines around a single photo per page (so the photo is not 'framed' so to speak), and on pages with several photo's there are only lines between photo's but not on the outside.
Any ideas anybody?
Ps. I should add that Apple was very decent about returning my money right away (besides the two things I just mentioned, the book was also slightly damaged), but didn't answer all my questions.
I really would like to get the book right and printed though.

the file com.apple.iPhoto.plist contains your iPhoto preferences and when you launch iPhoto and there is none a fresh new reference file is created so you can throw the old one away
To preview your book before ordering I recommend Apple's Knowledge base article - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040

How do I get text to wrap around a jpeg photo. Pages instructions don't eem to work for me,

How do I get text to wrap around a jpeg photo. Pages instructions don't seem to work for me. I'm just beginning to use Pages for other than simple word processing.

I am creating a photo album with captions and have tried to have one caption wrap around a photo image that is part of a series of three overlapping and descending images. I have selected the photo, clicked Inspector etc. with no luck. I did read a previous answer re floating and noticed that both my text and my image have inline in light colour and floating in dark, which I presume means they are both inline. When I try to click on Floating in Object Placement, nothing happens. The option doesn't appear to be "available", unlike the wrap options below, which do light up and indicate what I want to happen. It just doesn't happen and I don't know how to solve the problem.
I have had to replace my older computer on which I did all of these projects (newsletters, albums, etc.) with an old version of InDesign, which no longer works with the newer OS 10.6. So I'm trying to learn how to do the same types of things with Pages, and it's somewhat frustrating, since text wrap was quite simple with InDesign.

Export large TIFF scans to JPEG results in distorted "banding" effect

built-in JPEG converter, when used to send TIFF files to a .Mac screensaver or when used to export TIFF files to JPEG, results in distorted images on certain kinds of TIFF files, resulting in portions of the image displayed in vertical stripes across the screen... this seems to happen mostly to landscape-oriented photos which were scannned from 8x10 at 48-bit 600dpi (5960x4699) with a file size around 100MB... but does not occur on similar scans in portrait mode (4699x5899)... indicating a possible horizontal resolution limit around 5000?
tested same files in GraphicConverter, resulting in output without this problem

I Additionally, when I convert the file using the save as command in Preview, I can convert it into a jpeg or jpeg2000 and it is much smaller (71GB for example), but the same anomalous behavior occurs when I finish editing the file and quit iPhoto- - when I double click the thumbnail, the full sized image appears briefly and then disappears. leaving in its place a completely black window. I would be most appreciative of any insights.
Thanks.

How to attach jpeg photo images to AI artwork

How can I transform the perspective of a jpeg photo image and view the results in AI? Also, how can I attach this image over another AI vector artwork? Do I have to convert this rastor jpeg photo image to a vector image before I can do this?

How can I transform the perspective of a jpeg photo image and view the results in AI?
Use Object>Envelope Distort to transform a JPEG or any other image. Once the image is in a distortion mesh it can be distorted using the "Free Transform" tool or you can edit the mesh envelope by altering the mesh points directly, giving you endless control of the distortion.
Alternatively, you could use "Effect>3D>Rotate" to put a bitmap image into perspective.
Also, how can I attach this image over another AI vector artwork?
Not sure what you mean by "attach". You can group the transformed image with other objects. Or, if you find it helpful, you can expand the appearance to perminently distort the image.

My Photoshop (CS4) Red Eye Correction always makes the eyes a dark blue. ??

What if the person in the photograph has medium brown eyes? How do I get the Red Eye Correction to stop always making the eyes a dark blue? Can't find out how to change the color cast. The software is Photoshop (CS4) for Mac.

It's in the Spot Healing pop-out, but I never use it. There is an option in Camera RAW, but prefer to use a Hue/Saturation layer. Select both pupils with the eliptical marquue tool > Open the H/S layer, and adjust hue, sat, and lightness if required.
or
Open the H/S layer with no selection in place, and use the RGB drop-down and select the Reds. Then adjust hue, sat, lightness. Invert the layer mask, and paint back in with a soft white brush.

Mac Mail jpeg attachments pc distorted

I send jpeg photos as part of my business. My PC clients receive the photos squished and distorted. I have tried:
- Plain Text email
- inserting into email instead of attaching
- using "Actual Size" on size indicator
- "Send PC friendly files" or whatever that check box says
My clients are not savvy enough to deal with zipped or compressed files.
Any answers out there?
Thank you

I have the same problem!!! Anyone have suggestions?

I am trying to delete an email. However, when I highlight it, the highlight turns a very dark blue and all I can do is undelete it! How come this happens?

I am trying to delete an email. However, recently, when I highlight the email, the highlighted area turns a very dark blue and all I can do is undelete it. The "delete" sign at the top is not visible. What causes this to happen?

I found this link for a similar problem someone had with a Lotus Notes account. I used it to resolve my issue with a different email account (basically followed the same steps, and then looked for the particular account I needed to delete)... hope it helps!

How do I find the size of my JPEG photos

I want to find the size of my JPEG photos so I know how many photos I can fit per GB on my flashdrive.
I know that my photos are in the "all images" section, on the left side of my "Mcintosh HD" dialogue box, a box which contains just about everything in my computer.
I click on "all images" and then a list of all my photos show up in the dialogue box. Then I can click on a photo and it will show the photo, but not the size of the photo. I would like to know the size of my photos, ie how may MBs per photo. (Let's say I find out a typical photo I have has 2.3 MBs. Then I can divide 1000 by 2.3 and that gives me the number of photos per GB in my flash drive.) Thanks.

I'm using iPhoto 11 Version 9.3.2
Highlight or open a photo. In iPhoto 11, at the bottom right there is an i/info tab.
Selecting info should give you a window similar to this.
As for the difference in file sizes there can be a few possibilities.
1) you may have periodically changed the resolution settings in the camera
2) you may have resized/scaled or edited the original photos

I also have a .csv file with the name of a jpeg in one column and a text description of each jpeg in a second column. Is there a way to automatically insert one jpeg (photo) and its corresponding text, each pair on one page, into a Indesign document?

I also have a .csv file with the name of a jpeg in one column and a text description of each jpeg in a second column. Is there a way to automatically insert one jpeg (photo) and its corresponding text, each pair on one page, into a Indesign document?

I would also recommend to write the description into the meta data. This would allow to place a text frame above the image and it is possible to add meta information and file name automatically together with the image, when you place it or even in a prepared template.
Meta data information can be written easily in Bridge in the Meta File Workspace.

New Discussions: for day time use only? (-: A darker blue, please!

Thanks a lot Mods for your efforts.
I spend some time on these boards every day, so I can see things are going better and better.
I like the new Discussions better than the previous, especially everything that comes with this new ability to put much more on one page (like being able to see A LOT (not only five) of "Recent topics in this category", or that the topic's titles can be longuer than before, or being able to read the whole thread without jumping to "the next 15 posts" like before. I set "My Posts" to "50", this too was not possible before. Etc.)
Now my request:
At first I thought, like many others, that the "blue dot" and the "blue half-dot" were too small, and that we couldn't see the small grey "New!" because it was not red.
Now after all this time since Nov14, I finally understood what was wrong, because
(1) the new kind of eye fatigue I didn't experienced before, and
(2) a change in my computer's room lighting configuration.
The real problem is not the blue dot size (altough I'm sure if it was a square it would work better), it is its environment.
We have a white line after a light blue line, and this is a great feature to differenciate between topics. Works great within a thread too, to differenciate posts.
But one side effect of this is that the whole page "feels" slightly blue.
I'm not sure, but a human eye physicist could perhaps explain another kind of (more insidious?) side effect caused by the alternance of lines. Perhaps depending on which color are chosen for them?
Anyway, there is no problem with a page that "feels" blue, when the text is black.
The problem starts when the text ALSO is blue. Especially light blue...
I find the text blue color too light. Even the "visited link" purple is too light.
Given that the background is blueish, I mean. Otherwise it'd be fine.
This was not easy to understand, because the [defect/effect] is not obvious: the overall picture is nice.
But it became obvious to me when I saw that I have no problem IF I set my screen's brightess to "very bright".
New Discussions: for day time use only?
==> Please, would it be a problem (or too difficult to set perhaps?), to try a darker blue text for two or three weeks, see if we like it better? (along with a slightly darker purple for the visited links).
Thanks again for all the great work!
Axl

Hi Axl,

Read-image-file show jpeg photo cause error

I use read-image-file to show a jpeg photo (edited by ACDSEE) cause frm-47100. I know that Oracle may not support the Jpeg format of ACDSee. But, anyone know how to solve this problem. (I have to keep using ACDSee)

If you remove the metadata from a JPEG it should usually do the trick. I don't know how to do that in ACDSee, though.
