Image turns negative when cropping.

When I try to crop in CS6 the image turns negative until I finish the crop when it goes back to positive. Anything I can do to stop this?

Sounds like you have a display driver problem.
If you're on a PC, go to the web site of the maker of your video card, locate their latest release for your hardware and OS, and download/install it. Follow their instructions carefully.
If you're on a Mac or can't get a display driver from online for some reason, in Photoshop go into Preferences - Performance, and try deconfiguring the advanced Graphics Processor mode to a lower setting or even turning it off.

Entire image turns black when using the type tool in Photoshop CC

When I create a text layer, the whole image turns black. If I enter the text blindly, I will see the expected results when I finish and click on another tool. If I try to edit the text layer, everything turns black again. I am not using the type mask tool. I can select and move the layer and I can blend the layer; I just can't see what I am typing.
Using Windows 8

I had the same problem and the update of the video card driver did not help - only after changing the settings in photoshop under "Preferences >> Performance >> Advanced settings >> Basic" the problem was solved

How to keep image from moving when cropping?

I have been using LR for quite a while, but all of a sudden when I crop a photo, the image slides to the left or right and out of view.
In the past when I move the crop frame the photo would not move, that way I can see exactly how much of the photo I am cropping.
I have tried doing searches regarding a setting, but all I get are answers about locking the crop ratio and that is not what I need.
I need to keep the entire image in view when I slide the crop window.
Thanks!

Agfaclack - no need to even mention PS for this, it is only confusing.
i don´t think so.
because i had the same "problem" when i started with LR.
i was confused because lightrooms crop tool worked different then photoshops and i thought i had changed some settings that made LR behave "strange".

Why are my scanned images turning red when put in a slideshow or iMovie?

Why are my photos turning red when put in a slideshow?

Can you start a new document and then load one of the duotones known to be good in the working file and have it correct? If so, try one of the duotones known to be bad in the working document in the new file. Does it work?
If no to either suggestion, can you share one of the images known to be good and one known to be bad? ZIP 'em up and upload to dropbox and plop a link here. Or, to keep the file sizes down, you can quickly make a new set and provide those.
As well, the ID version and OS info would probably be helpful.
Take care, Mike

3.2 image rendering issues when cropping and straightening

Upgraded to 3.2 - all works well so far but have noticed that the top 1/3rd of image disappears during the cropping and straightening processes in the viewer window, but only with portrait/vertically oriented images. Anyone else have that issue?

Still on Snow Leopard here and I just tried this. Sorry to report it worked OK for me. I tried both straightening then cropping and then the reverse. No problems.
Does it happen on all portrait images? Could you post a screen shot of the results?
There wasa report of something similar a while back. Here's the thread:
After straightening/cropping 1/2 or 3/4 of displayed image is blacked out! Don;t know how that turned out.

CS5- screen working area turns black when cropping?

I am using CS5 and Windows 7. When I try and crop a photo, the working area turns black. Here is a screen clip of what I see. I then cancel the crop and will sometimes return to the move tool, click on the image, the black screen will return. Any suggestions or ideas why and what to do?

It's a display driver issue.
Have you installed the 12.0.1 update to Photoshop?
Have you updated your display drivers recently?
Have you tried disabling OpenGL drawing in Photoshop's preferences (to temporarily work around the issue)?

Images turn greyscale when saving Postscript/PDF or Print Preview but text remains in colour?

It is in colour, until I turn on Overprint preview, or try to save the booklet as a Postscript or PDF file.
In print preview or when doing any of the above things, it goes to greyscale but the text and rectangles remain in colour?
The images have been placed from Photoshop as eps files and were duatone in PS.
Please help.

As both the engineering resource at Adobe most involved with end-to-end PDF print publishing workflows and having served at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo last year as an Industry Research Professor teaching students about modern, reliable workflows as well as variable data publishing with PDF, I find this thread fascinating.
Obviously, you can force fit PostScript for output, albeit very inconveniently and with the possibility of problems and artifacts due to the device-dependent nature of PostScript (along with flattened transparency, lack of ICC color management, and inconsistencies in spot color handling).
However, unless the university assignment was specifically to demonstrate to you how difficult and problematic PostScript-based workflows were over a dozen years ago, I am absolutely appalled that any accredited university or professional school program in design / graphic arts / publishing / printing would have you use PostScript workflows in any way.
Other than hacking around with the possibility of doing output that varies based on external variables as the job is being RIPed, I know of absolutely no advantages of PostScript over PDF in this arena and obviously a boatload of disadvantages.
As I have written many times in the past, I wouldn't advocate that publishers with extensive collections of EPS-based content do wholesale conversions of same, but for new content or when content needs revision, PDF is definitely the replacement for EPS or PostScript in any flavor.

300 dpi images turn fuzzy when export as interactive or screen res pdf

Hi, my print brochure is fine, sharp, linked etc. But when I try to export as interactive pdf or screen res pdf, for online purposes, my clean logos and pix turn nasty. Do I need to change them individually to 72dpi and change them to rgb (i thought the export process did this automatically)? Thanks in advance to any answers.

If you choose File > Export > Adobe PDF (Interactive), the default is 72 ppi, but you can set it to a higher value. All images will automatically be convert to RGB, with, I believe, an sRGB profile, according to Dov.

Image turns red when trying to add text?

I'm using CS5 64 bit on a Win7 64-bit machine, with 8GB RAM.
I have been creating images, then adding text to them, with no problem. All of a sudden, something is going wrong.
I have created an image out of a white background with green text. I saved it as a .psd
Later, I opened it in CS5, and clicked the Text tool. I put the cursor on the image, and the whole image box turned red.
All the options under Layer (like New or Duplicate) are grayed out.
The Layers box shows just one layer, named Index. Right clicking on that shows all grayed out options.
I also tried to add text to a previously saved .jpg with the same result.
If I make a new image, I can add text correctly.
And I can also add text to other .jpgs I've made previously.
So apparently it is something to do with the way these particular files were saved or something?
I tried resetting the Text tool but that did no good.
What am I doing wrong? What makes these images different?
I tried to upload the .psd image in question, but I got an error message saying that "the content type of this image is not allowed".
Thanks!

If you want to post a large image or one of a format that isn't supported by direct attachment here, here's a suggestion:
Go to YouSendIt.com.

My image turns black when I try to edit it in Photoshop CC on Windows 7

I attached a screen recording of what is happening when I try to edit my image in photoshop. I'm trying to make a funny picture for my friend by photoshopping their face onto the surfer but when I try to select the original face to remove it my screen turns black.
If anyone can help me figure out why this is happening I'd really appreciate it!

Go update your video card driver from the GPU Maker's website (Not Microsoft or a system builder).

Images turn pink when not at original size in Mountain Lion

Hi. My wife and I both have mac book pros running Mountain Lion (10.8.5). When viewing images both online and in PDFs, the images change such that they are overlayed with a semi-transparent pink rectangle. Is this an issue with my Adobe programs or an apple bug? I have found no mention of this problem using google. Thanks.

Back up all data.
Please triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
defaults delete -g CGContextHighlight2xScaledImages
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear below what you entered. You can then quit Terminal. Test.

Why does a fine JPG image turn grainy when uploaded online? Is my browser missing something?

My "picture-perfect" JPG images become grainy or coarse when I upload them to imageshack.us, yahoo, etc.

If Firefox also saves the images in low quality then you may have an ISP that sends the images compressed in lower quality to speed up the page loading.
If you want to see the original image quality all the time then you need to contact your ISP and ask what to do to opt-out of that service or see if there is a FAQ about it on the web page of your ISP.

My video turns negative

I am dragging and dropping AVCHD video from the media browser to the project. About half the time, the video image turns negative and I can't figure out how to change it. I also can't figure out why it only happens sometimes. Do I need to import a different way? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Is there a way to prevent an image from turning blue when selecting it?

I'm exported a pdf from InDesign that will be used as a brochure for one of the exhibitions at our museum. I'm wondering if there's any way to prevent an image from turning blue when a reader clicks on it. Since all of the images are works of art, I'd rather that they not change color when people click on them.
I changed the security settings so the images couldn't be copies, hoping that would prevent the blue square, but it didn't help.
thanks for any suggestions.
Chris

There are several ways to do that and here are but two of them.
1. If you want to make a new image you can right click on the channel, click on Duplicate Channel and under Destination>Document, select New
2. If you want to add a new layer to your document, click on the channel in the channels panel, go to Select>All, then Edit>Copy, click on RGB in the channels panel and then Edit>Paste
