Horrible colors in pictures..people look like they have sunburns! Help!

Hey all, I was editing pics in Photoshop and noticed that the colors just seemed off...very "digitally" where you can see the pixels. When I hit "Proof Colors" in photoshop, the pixels dissapeared and the pictures look normal...what gives?
When i view the same pics on my old dell laptop, the pictures look normal as well..what gives? I noticed the problem is worse when the pictures already have a amberish tint to it.
I've already calibrated my screen using the Eye-One display so i can't figure this out..help!

Make sure that you haven't mistakenly changed your profile to ProPhoto RGB. ProPhoto can make skintones shot in sRGB look sunburned.
That can sometimes happen when importing through iPhoto, or when converting to ColorSync profiles in Photoshop.
Good luck!

latest version available (3.0.0.12) which made my mp3 player crash for 48 hrs

Downloads disappear-or never make it despite looking like they have.

Some time ago and in an apparent "instant", Firefox stopped saving/getting/accepting/etc downloads from the www. It isn't sporadic, site-size based...the problem is 100% consistent.
Everything appears to happen as it should. Prompts, help windows, even the final DOWNLOADS window appears.
2 clues:
1) I am never aksed WHERE I want to save the download.
2) Although the DOWNLOADS window appears, including the correct name of the attempted download file; the "resolution" is almost instantaneous...as if the connection/download/etc never actually happens.
NO...the download file is not being stored in some hidden or unknown folder....it, simply, isn't happening.
Ideas?
I really don't like IE, but am being forced to use it!

My iPad 3 makes all photos transferred from my PC look like they have a yellowish colour cast.

All photos transferred from PC have washed out, yellowish look to them. Same photographs appear fine on PC monitor and strangely, look fine when viewed through Flickr on iPad, not through Photos. All other colours look great on device. Same photos look fine too on my old first gen iPad. Any ideas?

Pictures look like they transfer via iTunes app window - but don't appear on iOS device

My pictures look like they transferred to iPad (the new) or iPhone (4) in iTunes (on the App page). I can see the files in the little app file share/transfer window, but the pictures do not show up in the iPhoto App on either iOS device.
Tried deleting the ios iphoto folder mentioned in a different post - did not help.
Deleted all pictures from the app window, and then synched, then tried putting in half as many (mostly because I didn't want to wait for a whole bunch to transfer like the first time ... still showing up in app window, still taking a long time to synch and saying that it is loading, and app percentage of disk space grows accordingly on device (in itunes monitor window). Go to iPhoto on device .... Only pictures are the ones taken by that device.
Photos in the sunflower still work like always, just can't use the cool iPhoto on any of my pictures not taken by the ipad or iphone!!!! GRRRRR!!!!!

This is happening on both the new iPad and iPhone 4.
I wrote under time pressure yesterday, here is more complete history.
purchased iPhoto app on the New iPad, then plugged in, launched iTunes, went to App tab, went to File Sharing - selected iPhoto, Clicked Add... button, selected photos/iphoto ... used daisyA to select all and clicked open.
All photo names appeared in the iPhoto Documents box. Then clicked Sync button (3 hours later) Sync complete - all photos listed in iPhoto Documents box in iTunes. Memory indicator shows application consumption of memory has grown appropriately for having added all those photos.
eject and disconnect iPad .... no photos appear in iTunes except for those taken by the device. Did same procedure on iPhone 4 .... same result. I can group, edit, view, and tinker with the photos taken by the device (ie iPhoto working as it should), however I can't see any of the photos from my long time iPhoto library not taken on this device that the iTunes file share window on the app tab says are there (and app memory usage also indicates are probably there).
Turned off both devices and then re-started -- no help
Soft reset both devices (dimple & power key, hold till restart happens) - even though the power down / power up should do at least the same thing. No help
Deleted iPod Photo Cache in iPhoto app (home/pictures/right click iphoto show package contents ... )
Synched again - no help
Deleted all pictures listed on app tab in file share window for iPhoto iOS app.
Synched - indicator for amount of memory used by apps decreases appropriately
Still can see and use photos taken by device and no others
Powered down then re- started device again.
Plugged in and open iTunes, use file share window on app tab to add just a dozen pictures this time (instead of all). Then sync - Still cannot see the pictures in the iPhoto app on the device .... file share window on app tab of iTunes says they are there. Indicator for memory useage says they are there - progress bar during sync says they are being added, I just cant see them in the iPhoto iOS app when I click on the Photos selector in the iOS iPhoto app.
Photos are on the iPad and synching with the ipad from iphoto into the sunflower app that comes with the devices. Just won't go into iPhoto!

Changing color pictures to look like paintings

I’m retired and I have been using Photoshop CS2. I would like to learn more about Photoshop but I don’t know what to do next. I’m on a limited fixed income so I need to be careful of what I buy. I’m interested in two areas, one; changing black and white pictures to color, and two; changing color pictures to look like paintings. What would you suggest I do next and how? In advance, thank you for your help.

What mylenium said.
You cannot learn Photoshop from scratch in a forum, question by question.
As I've typed countless times over the years, Photoshop is a professional level application that makes no apologies for its long and steep learning curve.
Your needs far exceed the scope of this forum.
To start learning, take a class in your nearest community college or similar educational institute, watch the Adobe video tutorials on this site, take a subscription to lynda.com, etc. There are many learning tools out there, just Google "learning Photoshop".
Good luck (and please remember this is a user site. I do not work for Adobe).

Makeing a person look like they are standing on the ground (instead of floating)

I have a picture of a sidewalk. I added a layer with a person standing there talking on the phone, but the person looks like they are floating (and not standing on the street layer).
I can not find where it tells how to fix this.
Thanks
Bob

Jammer is correct-shadows often give an image "depth" and a more realistic look.
Here is one technique.
I am assuming the person on the phone is on its own layer with a transparent background.
Copy this person to a new layer.
Select a greyish color and paint over the image. I usually "lock" the layer to keep the brush from wandering.
Use the Transform Tool on either Skew or Distort (often have to use both) grab one of the corners and pull down. You are trying to get the layer to lie flat. This takes some practice.
When you get the shadow layer where you want you, you can try different blending modes and opacity levels to make it blend better.

How can I adjust the contrast of video on my MacBook Pro Retina so they don't look like they were filmed with an old sock over the lens?

I'd like to watch movies and TV shows, downloaded from iTunes or Amazon, on my MacBook Pro Retina, but they all look like they were filmed with an old sock over the lens. Daytime sequences look muddy, and night time sequences are incomprehensible with anything but the brightest objects rendered as black. I can watch the same files on my old MacBook Air and everything looks right, but no manner of tweaking seems to let me watch movies on my new machine.
I've tried adjusting the gamma. It's a bit better when gammas is set to 1.0, but I can't seem to set a gamma less than one. I tried using the Accessibility Contrast control, but it just lowers the contrast, swallowing my desktop into the dark abyss. I tried Applecare, but they don't have a clue. I tried the Apple Store. The "genius" confirmed that it is indeed impossible to watch movies shot anywhere but in the brightest sunlight on a MacBook Pro Retina, and it isn't just my machine, but every similar model in the store. He arranged for someone who really understands color profiles to give me a call, but Apple seems to have dropped the ball on this.
Is there some tool for stretching out the darker grays in Apple video? I don't want calibration. My impression is that my display, like the dozens I checked at the Apple Store are calibrated to make all dimmer grays appear completely black. I want uncalibration so I can actually see what is going on in the movies even if something is in a light shadow or shot at night. Hollywood has lots of trained technicians who can light and shoot night scenes that are quite comprehensible. I've watched a number of such scenes on my old MacBook Air. Now, I'd like to enjoy their artistry on my MacBook Pro Retina.

http://www.ifixit.com/ has directions for do it yourself. Also look at PRAM battery instructions, as sometimes this can fix optical drive issues.
You can get external or internal drives from http://www.macsales.com/
I also suggest in the future, take care of this problem while it is still under warranty. It may have cost you nothing.

I created a form, I want the email notices to go to several people. Why is this so difficult? It seems like they have to be a co-author/reader or something? I don't get it

I created a form, I want the email notices to go to several people. Why is this so difficult? It seems like they have to be a co-author/reader or something? I don't get it

This is crazy! I paid for this service to make it easier to create forms for a company that has had several acquisitions all over the globe. This was supposed to make it easy to create forms hosted on adobe so no matter what happens on all their servers, we would be safe using this forms service until we can integrate all acquisitions and build a permanent web site on a single server. Now I find out that even this is a major issue sending emails to team members, many I have never met so making them a collaborator or even setting up forwarded emails is not something I wanted to do. This service was advertised as simple and easily send notifications to many people. I am now frustrated and thinking this was a waste of money! Why is it like that?

Some songs will not sync to my iPhone 4s, looks like they are loading but they never do.

Recently I downloaded some new music and now when I try to sync to my iPhone 4S none of the songs i downloaded are syncing to my phone and even some of the songs that were on my phone are not anymore. On iTunes on "On this phone" or whatever the songs are there but it looks like they are loading even after the sync is over. I would really like some help cause this is really annoying... Thanks!

Same here, I have a new iPhone 5S and it will not allow me to put any music on it unless I have purchased it from iTunes, even music that I own and have ripped from the CD will not upload to the phone. Really Bloody Annoying!
Should have stayed with Android!

Problem with slideshow in iPhoto. Photos look like they are all the right way up but when in slideshow action some are sideways.

even though all photos look like they are the right way up, when the slideshow commences, some of them display sideways. I have tried re-rotating them - and still have same problem. Help please - need it for Saturday night !

What version of iPhoto are you using? Are you creating the slideshow directly from an album or are you using the slideshow mode?
As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?

Hi, I just downloaded a bunch of RAW files into Lightroom 5.6 and they all look like they've been put through acid. Can someone please help? TYVM!

Jim and Rob, thank you for taking your time to respond. I have a mac & a pc with 4 gigs of RAM in each. I originally experienced the problem on my mac and afterwards the same thing happened on the pc. I shoot with a canon 5d mark iii and never had this problem before, but what I'm realizing is that I'm running out of space on both the mac & the pc. After an afternoon of shooting today, I filled up a 32-gig card, so my TB hard drives are filling up ridiculously fast. I need to drop some load off both drives and reboot. Hope this will resolve the issue as I really don't think it's a canon-LR problem (I'm using the most updated 5.6 version). Again, thanks for your input. I'll keep you posted.

I can not get the pop out menu from the tools to work. It looks like they are not loaded

Can someone help me know how to get the tool pop out menu to work. It looks like they are not loaded.

You do have to click and hold down on any tool icon with a small triangle in the lower right.
The second method is to right-click on the tool.

Buy Snow Leopard here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Install it, update to OS X 10.6.8 using Software Update, and then you'll be all set with iOS 7.
