Greyed out images

I imported a folder of raw images but had to shut down the computer before I could develop them. When I went back to work on them they are greyed out and I cannot develop them. How do I fix this?

When photos are greyed out in the IMport dialog box, that means the photos have already been imported, and you don't have to import the photos a second time.
You go to the Library Module (not the Import dialog box), and from there you can develop the photos.

How to grey out images in APEX

Hi,
Can someone let me know how can I disable/greyout images in APEX?
I have a list of images in a horizontal way, say Image 1, Image 2, Image 3, Image 4.
So when Image 1 is accessed, Image 2,3 and 4 should be greyed out. When Image 2 is accessed, Image 3 and 4 (not Image 1) should be greyed out and so on.
Please let me know how can this be done?

What you mean by "Image is accessed"?
Do you mean when mouse click image or hover mouse over image?

Greyed out images when opened in photoshop CS

I ahve been happily using my photoshop but recently all my images are greyed out with small white and grey boxes so cannot view or change. I have clicked on the imagine open section in history and it makes not difference. What am I doing wrong?

I shoudl warn you that although I use CS5 relatively well to edit I am not very technical so am finding all your helpful queries rather confusing. However, I have managed to look deeper into my program and the images are in RGB colour on 8 but /channel. However am working in CMYK. THe problem is that when opened the images are now in the transparency grid and in order to view them I have to Zoom in or out whic his either too large or too small to work on. I have not changed anything on the porgram from its initial settings. From Chris Cox's help i am not really sure what he means by this so please help. I am unable to find any telephone number for Adobe Help except on in the US where they tell you there is a 30 mins wait and I am based in UK. ALso not sure what extension......or what that means. Do you have a UK number I can call or help me further? Thanks Lucy

Greyed out images; exports to Mail are blank; generating images issue

Selected images are greyed out in the main viewer; sending a reduced file size via Mail gives a blank mail, but with a selectable rectangle and correct file name with a size only around 25kb. Sending originals at 100% works OK. The generation of reduced size images seems to be causing the problem as I can view an image at 100% in the main viewing area. Exports seem to still work OK - again 100%.
I have deleted the prefs file. I have deleted the application, although reinstallation seems simply to un-delete, returning the app to 'as was'. I'm hopeful that reinstalling will cure this, but how does one remove the application completely?

I got another great answer from yahoo.
They told me to clear cookies, cache, etc...
They said to reboot.
They said to try opera.
It seems no one reads my emails there to support nor do they do proper troubeshooting.
I am in the IT field and I appreciate good support when I get it but unfortunately it's so rare.
The first thing they should be doing is trying to either replicate the issue or verify whether yahoo did any updates on their end.
Instead I'm being sent ridulous help links because they can't even read.
I've sent all information necessary from screenshots to os to devices.
Personally I believe yahoo made an update that's screwing everything up.
Not only have I done those things they suggested but I told them twice already.
The only thing I havent tried was opera. I tried 4 different browsers and none worked.
I tried opera just to shut them up and it didn't work either. It seems opera handles mobile mail differently than all the other browsers as they show no pictures at all. They aren't missing, they just arent there with how opera handles the mail. They instead give you a link to view the store advertisements.
I think I need to call them and see how far up the chain I can get with someone who can actually read and even troubleshoot.

How to un-grey-out "Image - Auto contrast"?

I just opened my first jpg in Photoshop CS5 and tried to use "Image -> Auto contrast" but all of the Auto's (Tone, Contrast, Color) are greyed out. The Image -> Mode is set to "RGB Color". There is only one layer and I tried various combinations of selecting (Command A) and de-selecting (Command D) the image but the Auto's stay grey.
The latest Photoshop CS5 Extended (Version 12.0.2) is running on a Mac Book (Snow Leopard 10.6.6).
I'm reading Peter Bauer's "Photoshop CS5 for Dummies" and Scott Kelby's "Photoshop CS5 Book" but can't find the answer in either. I also searched the forum for "auto contrast greyed out" but got 0 hits.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The whole issue of working non-destructively may be of little importance if you are starting out in Photoshop and are acquainting yourself with the various tools and features, but later on it can become a significant time-saver.
The Photoshop Help offers something on the issue, too (see »Nondestructive editing«).
Basically the target is maintaing pixels content intact and any corrections (both of form and color) editable.
The techniques employed to achieve this include:
• Performing Touch-up (Clone Stamping and Spot Healing) on separate Layers
• using Layer Masks instead of deleting and erasing
• using Adjustment Layers instead of applying an Adjustment directly whenever possible
• performing Transformations, Puppet Warps and Filter applications on Smart Objects
etc.
Anyway, I may have been hasty previously; the Help states (p.136, following similar points for Auto Contrast):
Remove a color cast using Auto Color
Auto Color adjusts the contrast and color of an image by searching the image to identify shadows, midtones, and highlights. By default, Auto Color neutralizes the midtones using a target color of RGB 128 gray and clips the shadows and highlight pixels by 0.5%. You can change these defaults in the Auto Color Correction Options dialog box.
1Do one of the following:
•Click the Levels or Curves icon in the Adjustments panel.
•Choose Layer > New Adjustment Layer and choose either Levels or Curves. Click OK in the New Layer dialog box.
Note: You can also choose Image > Auto Color to apply the adjustment directly to the image layer. Keep in mind that this method discards image information and is automatic. You cannot adjust any of the options in the following steps.
2In the Adjustments panel, Alt-click (Windows) or Option-click (Mac OS) the Auto button.
3Under Algorithms in the Auto Color Correction Options dialog box, select the Find Dark & Light colors option.
4Select the Snap Neutral Midtones option.
5Specify the shadows and highlights that are clipped, and adjust the target color for the midtones.
6Click OK to apply Auto Color.
So the result should be achievable with a Levels or Curves Layer straight out.

Why did my MBP just "awake from sleep" with a greyed-out beach picture????

My MacBook Pro just awoke from sleep with a greyed-out image of a beach scene while a status bar at the bottom of page appeared to show some form of check-up or update.
Any idea what this was?
-Pinkus
MacBook Pro 15" CoreDuo 2.0 & G5 Dual 2.0 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I think that's what the MBP does after the sudden motion sensor detects alot of movement. I'm not 100% sure, though.

In my Macbook Pro, on a few occassions, the apple menu bar blacks out. its displayed as a negative image. The desktop wallpaper get greyed out and i get a blank screen as wallpaper. No idea why this happens. I reset the system and issue gets resolved.

I am not able to import photos into Lightroom 5.7. When I select a folder, it doesn't show a preview of the images and the import button is greyed out. ??

I have been using Lightroom 5 for 2-3 months now and all worked well, up until today's effort to import a new set of photos. I am working on a Mac with Yosemite 10.10.1.

Go to the bibliothec module, select the folder, right click on the folder and hit synchronize
Sorry I have only a german version , so don't know what your menu will show.

When searching Google Images with FireFox, the first page of images are visible in thumbnails but all subsequent pages are greyed out.

This happens every time on a Google search. Greyed-out thumbnails will show individually if double-clicked. Every page of images after page 1 experiences the same problem. Reload does not help.
Is this a Google problem or a Firefox problem?

Doc: I've had a similar experience, and here are the details, investigation, and a workaround. My printer is a Brother MFC-645CN, and I'm using Snow Leopard (10.6.8) on a 2010 iMac quad i5 connected to the printer over my ethernet LAN. Are you using a Brother printer?
Firefox has shown this kind of nasty issue for the past six months or so. It seems to be related to the imaging algorithms in Preview when dealing with Firefox (now at v.12) and the Brother printer -- the screwy second page (and beyond) show up skewed and up-sized when doing a print preview also. No such problem seen in Safari or anything else. I am not currently using any other Mozilla apps on this Mac besides Firefox.
A few months ago I tested printing from my administrator account and a different user account. Firefox printing was completely normal and as expected. When I went back to my main user account, back came the funky second page.I went through extensive troubleshooting to try to chase it down, systematically removing and replacing apps and preferences and many other Library files related to printing, Brother drivers, Firefox, and Preview. Nothing helped. Solution was to migrate my user files to an account where the printing problem wasn't happening. I deleted the problem user account.
Everything was fine for about three weeks, and then with no warning, printing was back to the bad second page, just as before. I am stumped, and I'll let smarter people try to figure it out. I use Firefox a lot, and it's possible that some add-on setting is interfering, or a web page I visited turned the printing funky again. I just don't know.
Also checked on a Mac G4 running Leopard (10.5.8) and Firefox 3.6.28. No printing/preview problems there.
Now, for the work-around I am currently using -- print each page separately, one at a time. Page 1, then page 2, etc. Preview and printing looks completely normal. Hope this works for you until the bug is located and squashed for good.

I use iphoto 8.1.2 on OSX 10.5.8. some of my events are greyed out, showing no images.

As outlined briefly above quite a few of my events in iphoto have appeared 'greyed out' when ive restored them from the trash. I was trying to back up my iphoto library, with no proper knowledge, and I think this may have caused the problem. I dragged and dropped my original iphoto library into a non time machine external hard drive. I then went back to the original and sent the majority of photos to the iphoto trash (about 12 thousand photos). When I tried to delete them from the iphoto trash it wouldnt allow me to do it - something ive read is quite normal for that amount of photos.
After this i read more about multiple iphoto libraries so decided to restore all these 'deleted' photos back to iphoto so i could sort things properly (im ultimately wanting to have one large iphoto library on my non time machine external hard drive, then have a smaller, more current, iphoto library on my internal hard drive).
When i did this about half of my events were greyed out, and so were the images in the events. although the information assigned to the individual event, such as number of photos and event name were still correct and clearly showing. Why has this happened?
My only thought is that when I tried to delete the photos from my iphoto trash initially this could have messed it up some how. The majority of events that have been affected are my older events, but even some brand new ones are greyed out too.
I would realy apreciate any advis on this, the photos ive lost are very importat to me so im fretting alot.
Thankyou in advance
JAB

I did try that yes, and it had resorted to the same version that was on my internal hard drive. Im not sure if ive done something wrong at some point in the past while trying to sort it all out - the situation suggests I have?
Essentially the two iphoto libraries I have are the same (one version now just has my attempt at restoring the files from iphoto trash, the other version has the photos still in iphoto trash).
Im at a loss knowing where these files have gone/ why i cant access them if the info for those files is still showing?
Thanks for your continued help!

SCN document: 'Insert Image' greyed out at a certain stage/size

I noticed a similar issue likeTammy has reported in discussion/thread .Cannot insert or upload an image
After having inserted text and several images to a draft document, the 'Insert Image' icon became greyed out at a certain stage/size.
I did some tests following document Solution for Error: Cannot Insert Images on SCN Content, but the the behavior remained the same. Only after having deleted the last inserted image in the document > Save Draft > Edit again the 'Insert Image' icon was not greyed out anymore which is argueing for a size restriction.
The same html coding as in the document put into a blog does not grey out the ‘Insert Image’ icon. But I found out that after clicking on the ‘Insert Image’ icon > ‘From your Computer’ tab ‘Browse’ is greyed out. Strange and argueing against a size limit is, when I choose ‘Uploaded Images’ I can select images and still insert them into the blog.
Does someone have similar experiences / can assist.
Thank you, Barbara

We have a recent discussion in SCN support.
He has same problem. Have a look into the discussion Issue with 'Insert Image' button while creating document in SCN
I suggest to split you document into two part as part 1 and part 2.

When using private browsing to view image results in Safari 5.1.3, only the first two rows of results are visible, the following four or so rows display greyed out place holders, and the safe search button is inoperable. Suggestions?

When using private browsing to view image results in Safari 5.1.3, only the first two rows of results are visible, the following four or so rows display greyed out place holders, the remainder of the results page is blank, and the safe search button is inoperable. When I turn off private browsing and refresh the page, everything works again.
Anyone else having this problem?

I have got the same behaviour after the last Safari Update to 5.1.3. It seems that Safari now handles some scripts in a new way. If you debug the Google Website, you will see, that there is some Javascript Error, that seems to prevent to write into local cache. After some searching I wasn't able to finde a solution for this problem, other then disabling Javascript while private browsing to prevent the script loading. You then are able to use Google with the old layout. The option to disable JavaScript can be found in the Menu "Developer", wich has to be enabled in Safari in the options first.
In my opinion this is a bug that is now occuring, because Apple changed something in private browsing and that has to be fixed by Google now, to run again. Or we will have to wait for 5.1.4, as you can read online Apple will change and bugfix the javascript engine in that version, perhaps this fixes the problem as well. I hope so!
If anyone is in the developer program perhaps you could test this with the beta of 5.1.4 and tell us if it works.

Photoshop CS3, wanting to batch re-size JPGs, going: file-scripts-image processor, the batch images are greyed out can't be highlighted

Hi - I am trying to batch re-size JPGs in CS3. I go: file-scripts-image processor and select a batch of JPGs but these are greyed out and can't be highlighted, therefore can't be re-sized. This function worked in the past and suddenly does not. Reading forums on this topic I find I should remove/trash 'Photoshop Preferences'. But I am struggling to find Photoshop Preferences. Really would appreciate simple instructions written for the layman not a computer savvy individual, on how/where to locate these, please. Many thanks.

A few things to try.
1)Since jpg's are finiky with bit modes, make sure your mode is in 8-bits per channel only. (found in the image>mode menu)
2)you could try resetting the preferences by using the 3 modifier keys at startup. ctrl-alt-shift(windows) cmd-opt-shift(mac) Hold these three keys down when you start photoshop if done right when photoshop starts you should get a dialog box asking if you want to reset the preferences)
3)If these do not help specify the version of photoshop, what OS you have and its version. Then someone can tell you the location of the preference files since it is different on windows vs. a mac.

Aperture printing greyed out after printing 1 image?

HI
I print 1 image fron my library and the printer icon greys out and is non-functional. Why?
I can still print using the "Command" key+ "P "

Others have the same issue, with the import button being grayed out. My trail copy expired, but I believe by poking around in the options and selecting another Aperture library and re-selecting, I was able to continue.
The problem is common enough, that hopefully Adobe will address. In the mean time, try repairing your Aperture library, checking permissions, exporting a subset of your library for a test, or try putting that library subset on an external drive. (Can usually avoid permissions issues.)
