Grayed out pictures in "Faces"

In process of creating DVDs , of pictures from iPhoto, the "Faces"portion of the iPhoto library shows Grayed out photo instead of the typical photo. May have been result of migration to iMac with HDD plus SSD. Any way to restore " Faces"?
Using Lion 10.7.3
IPhoto 11

Right your are, Beat. I'm planning on getting a Spyder3, but in the meantime
I thought I would try running the Windows monitor calibration procedure
(partly described below).
Kind regards,
Ron
Calibrating your display helps to ensure that colors are represented
accurately on your monitor. In Windows, you can use Display Color
Calibration to calibrate your display.
   If you have a display calibration device that came with other software,
   consider using the color measurement device with the accompanying software
   instead of Display Color Calibration. Using the calibration device with the
   accompanying calibration software that often comes with it can help you get
   the best color on your display. In general, using a color measurement
   instrument to calibrate your display will result in a better calibration
   compared to the results of doing a visual calibration (which is done in
   Display Color Calibration).
   Display Color Calibration is not available in Windows Server 2008 R2.

   Click to open Display Color

   administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide

Disable button intermittently has blank image, instead of grayed out

Every so often, we get a blank box the size of the gif image we use in a button when the button is disabled. If the button is then enabled, the gif image draws correctly, but then if it is disabled again, it goes back to a grayed out box instead of just a grayed out picture of an arrow in this case.
The gif is a transparent gif and it seems that java when it disables it, just sets the whole image blank instead of just the non-transparent part. Anyone ever see something like this before?

What about AbstractButton.setDisabledIcon() ?

Address Book Does Not Link to Faces, Button Grayed Out

The import face from iPhoto button is grayed out and not active on my computer, is this new Lion feature not working or not yet acitved within Lion? Here's a description of how the feature was supposed to work (see bold text description). I can only browse for a photo or use the camera button.
If you like to match faces with names, the new Address Book can now pull pictures of your contacts from your iPhoto library. Double-click on the picture box on a card, then click on the Import Face From iPhoto button in the lower left corner. You’ll be presented with a grid showing up to eight faces associated with that name in iPhoto—complete with dates those shots were taken—with the current contact photo (if any) in the middle. If you have more than eight photos of a contact, you can use arrows at the bottom of the photo pop-up window to scroll through the others.

I have the same problem but only with a couple of my contacts.
matt.sheppard is right about having to have matching names in both applications but I still have a couple of contacts, with matching names, that it won't let me access their "face" in iPhoto.
Sorry not much help... :-/

Lync 2013 client - part of Office 2013 Pro Plus - unable to edit or remove picture, option is grayed out.

Hi Team,
Lync 2013 client - part of Office 2013 Pro Plus - unable to edit or remove picture, option is grayed out.
Using Exchange 2010 Server and Lync 2010 Server at the back. To the best of my knowledge, this option is only available when using Exchange 2013 rather than Ex 2010.
Can somebody confirm this as I am not 100% sure about it.
Appreciate your help. Thanks

Hi,
The photo precedence in Lync 2013 is high-resolution photo from Exchange 2013 -> Photo from web address -> Active Directory photo. The "Edit or Remove Picture" button is available if you integrate Lync Server 2013 with Exchange 2013.
Since you are Lync server 2010 and Exchange 2010, you can choose the following two options:
The thumbnailPhoto attribute on the user's object in Active Directory Domain Services
A URL configured by the user

How can I move photos from pictures to my Iomega external hard drive? I have copied all photos, however it won't allow me to paste them. The paste button is grayed out.

How can I move photos from pictures to my external hard drive? I have copied all photos, however it won't allow me to paste the photos. The paste button is grayed out.

Do you want to copy some pictures to the external drive, or do you want to move your whole iPhoto library? The latter will free up hard drive space on your start up disk; the procedure is explained here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2506
Note this is not the same as a Time Machine backup.
If on the other hand you want to copy some photos from one drive to another, you can just drag and drop them from one location to another. This is a true copy, the originals will remain intact.

Using photoshop elements 13 but the option to crop a single image is grayed out and also the option to crop a scanned image into individual pictures is grayed out - any ideas?

The option to crop an image is always grayed out or unavailable - both for single images and when I want to crop scanned images into individual pictures. Any idea what I may be doing wrong?

Did you try using the crop tool to see if it is working? See the tool I am talking about.
I suspect you are in Guided Mode rather than in Quick Mode or Expert Mode.

Desktop "Change Picture" grayed out

Before installing Tiger I was able to select "Change Picture" in System Preferences Desktop. Now that feature is grayed out, and a single picture is continuously display on the desktop. Any idea how to fix this?

carpet1,
You said:The file does contain an instruction in the default folder "Change..Never." When I tried to change this to 0 and save, finder could no longer find the file. I'm lost!I too am lost. My previous instructions did not specify any file alterations. I do not know, nor did I specify that you should make any changes to the com.apple.desktop.plist file. The fact that the file was altered without a plist editor probably disrupted normal behavior.
If I open my com.apple.desktop.plist file with TextWrangler, I do see the following string...(YPlacementVChangeVRandomPlacementKeyTag_ChooseFolderPathCollectionStringZ ChangePathZChangeTime^ImageFileAlias]TimerPopUpTag]ImageFilePathZFillScreenUNev er), but I do not know how to change specific phrases in this plist to alter desktop behavior.
Whenever a plist file is removed from preferences folder a new one will be regenerated to replace the old one after a log out/in or restart. That means you will have an old com.apple.desktop.plist file on your Desktop and a new com.apple.desktop.plist in your ~Library/Preferences Folder. You should be able to discard the old plist and allow the new one to resume normal default functions. Plist files should not normally be edited unless you know specifically with certainty what effect your changes will produce.
Repeat the plist removal procedure if necessary, but do not make any changes to the replacement file. Permission repair may be considered without penalty.

Why is the camera icon grayed out in the text message screen so that I cannot text a picture on my iPhone 5?

Contact Sheet II, Picture Package, & other options are grayed out on File menu

I just bought Photoshop Elements 11 yesterday, and Contact Sheet II, Picture Package, & other options are grayed out on the File menu.

I believe you need to be in the Expert mode for those commands to be available.

Why do I not have the option (the choose file option is grayed out) to upload pictures to more than a few places I have tried

I am having a problem uploading photos to basically every place but Facebook. I have contacted these sites and they give instruction on how to do it but the "choose file" button is grayed out on some, OR it says, "if your device doesn't have the capability to upload send your pictures to us. I am assuming u can't upload pictures with iPad 2? Or is it just me.....more than one site doing this, is there a setting somewhere?
Thanks :)

I can't find an app, but was also wondering is there a third party service like photobucket that would work on the ones that don't have an app?

Cropping out someone's face from picture and overlaying just the face into a video

Hi.
I posted a couple times here about using AE to do the following for a video. Though I changed up the idea a little. Here it goes:
Imagine this video. A youth hockey game and the kids are lined up on the bench and the announcer calls their names and one by one they skate out from the game and onto the ice.
During this intro, I have added their names in scrolling text as they come out onto the ice. I used windows live movie maker and saved it as a video.
Then I put that video into After Effects so that I could then put a pic of each kid's face next to their name. I used the team photo and cropped out each player's face to use for this. I used the GIMP program to do the cropping.
However, I cropped them out in a rectangular shape. So when their name scrolls across the video at the bottom of the screen, their face then shows up beside their name but in rectangular form. In the background of the kid's face is whatever was there in the team photo. So basically it's their teammate's or coach's pants or jersey.
To make this all look better, I want JUST the kid's head and shoulders as the image beside their name. Not a rectangular pic with stuff in the background. So the shape of the image is essentially just their head and shoulders. The shape of the pic in any picture program will always be rectangular but what I want is a transparent background so that when I overlay the kid's face onto the video beside their name, all we see is their head and shoulders.
With GIMP, I can use the select tool and trace around their head and shoulders and "crop to image" and hopefully that makes the background transparent. But what I need to know is if I can then overlay it onto the video in AE and get the result that I'm looking for.
Can someone tell me if they have any experience with this? Overlaying any image onto a video in AE is easy, but doing it the way I want to is not clear to me.
Thanks for the responses.

You can either use masks in AE to cut the kids out or, if you save out of Gimp in a format that supports alpha, you can just import the already cut-out picture. Also, as I mentioned in a previous thread to you, if you have the heads cut out and saved in a format that supports alpha, you could drop the heads in with Premiere too.
You really need to start here: Getting started with After Effects After Effects is many leagues more complicated than something like Windows Movie Maker. You will land in even more frustrations if you skip a foundation.

IPhoto pictures grayed out

I tried scanning a picture for the first time...I sent it to iPhoto, dragged it onto Library, and--it is fine, but all previous photos in Library and other albums, are now all grayed out. How do I resolve this? Thank you.
PowerMac12,1 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

That's a bummer. It seems maybe a data file got corrupt.
See if creating a new library will get your images back.
Close iPhoto
Rename your messed up iPhoto Library to "iPhoto Library_old"
Drag this library to your desktop
Hold down the Option key and launch iPhoto
This is the window you will get
Create a new library or choose a library to open
Choose to create a new library
Once this new empty library is open it is time to import the images from your old library
Go to File>add to library
Navigate to the old library on your desktop and highlight it in the window, then click the "open" button.
iPhoto will start importing the images from your old library
This is what to expect:
Your images will be imported in nice dated rolls. (make sure your view is set to sort by rolls to see it) There are a couple of caveats to this. You will get rolls named "Originals" These rolls will contain your video clips and your original images that you had edited. If you had RAW files they would be in those rolls too (I don't do RAW, so I don't know for sure) Delete what you don't want from those rolls. You will also get the jpeg pointer files to your video clips imported. They will just be jpegs and will not point to the video clips anymore as iPhoto made new ones when the clips were imported again. You can delete those. they should be in a roll right next to the newly imported video clips so they are not hard to find. The thumbnail files don't get imported as iPhoto makes new ones when the images are imported.
Once all you images have been imported, check through the library and make sure everything looks ok.
You can now start making your Albums, and do your keywords or any other organizational steps.
You can also delete the old library on the desktop.
It is also a good time to backup this new library to CD/DVD by burning the iPhoto LIbrary folder in the Finder, or copying the iPhoto Library folder to an external drive formatted for Macs, or copying the iPhoto LIbrary folder to an iPod.
Good luck!

"Faces" grayed out in Aperture 3 menu bar and it is not under "Library"

Just received my upgrade to Aperture 3. Under Library there is just Projects; Photos; Places; Flagged; Trash - there is no Faces. In the menu bar, the Faces is grayed out. What is the problem?

Check in Preferences>General>Enable Faces that the checkbox is ticked. Otherwise Faces detection is off on the options are greyed out.
