Why are my duotone images turning black and white when put in indesign?

why are my duotone images turning black and white when put in indesign?
I have been playing duo and montotone images into indesing with no trouble. Then all of a sudden as I placew them they go black and whitre. I have tried everything from re saving, re making in photoshop and differant colours et5c. But nothing seems to wrok. The images already in my document arew fine it is just new ones. If someone could help that would be great

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

How to find out embedded raster image is Black&White or Color image?

Is there any possibility to find out the embedded raster image is Black&White, Gray image (or) Color image in "illustrator cs3" without using color mode shown in "document info" pannel. Kindly advice me, the possibilities and solution. And also any scripts avilable for this?
Thanks.

Or you could select the embedded image, and open the Window>Document Info panel. Select Embedded Images from the fly out menu on the Document Info panel. This should give you the color mode and more info on the embedded file in question.

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.

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

When working in photoshop the canvas/image turns black

when working in photoshop the canvas/image turns black - not allowing me to view the materials. what is causing this? how can it be fixed? very frustrating when working on a file and all of a sudden it's no longer visible.

Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?

Auto contrast, Auto levels. image turns black

CS3 on macbook pro.
I know I should use other methods for levels and contrast but I have come across a strange problem. If I select auto contrast or auto levels the image turns black? Is there something that I have set in preferences incorrectly? How can I resolve this problem.
Many thanks for any help.

Convert color images to black&white bitmaps

Hi,
I have black&white scans of public domain books (image format). I use an OCR software to convert them to indexable PDFs (image+text format). However, the OCRed PDFs are insanely big: a 27 MB scanned PDF leads to an indexable PDF of 728 MB! And unfortunately, my OCR software doesn't have output settings, so I have to find a way to compress the files using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.
Using Advanced Options > Optimization does reduce the file size, but not significantly. The problem seems to be that my OCR software converts the black&white scans to color images, and encodes them as such inside the PDF. So I need a way to set the image modes back to black&white. I tried using the Advanced Options > Preflight dialog, and selecting "Convert to black&white". However, the resulting PDFs stay about the same size! It seems that "Convert to black&white" converts the images to grayscale, instead of to bitmap.
Any help would be appreciated!

I mentioned "bitmaps", because when I open the original PDF and right-click a random page and select "Modify image..." and open the image in Photoshop, the mode is set to "Bitmap mode": meaning 1-bit mode, containing either black or white pixels. However, when I do "Modify image..." for the OCRed PDF, the mode is set to "RGB Color Mode". I think this explains, in part, the huge size of the OCRed PDF.
Maybe this table will make it more clear:
Original PDF (Bitmap Mode, 132 dpi)
Size: 27 MB
OCRed PDF (RGB Color Mode, 300 dpi)
Size: 728 MB
Now, from the table above, it's clear that I have to reduce the image resolution. So, using the Acrobat's PDF optimizer, I tried the following settings:
Optimized OCRed PDF: Try 1 (Downsample to 132 dpi, JPEG compression)
Size: 733 MB
Optimized OCRed PDF: Try 2 (Downsample to 132 dpi, ZIP compression)
Size: 449 MB
But 449 MB is still huge for a single book. And I don't want to reduce the resolution under 132 dpi, because I will loose quality. Clearly, if the original document is just 27 MB, I should be able to squeeze the OCRed document too. But I don't know how.

Import an image to black&white into array

Hello there.
I'm making a type of cutter, that cuts stamps out of potatos. Currently, the pattern is an array of booleans of 25x25, where you have to click what you want to see and then the program cuts it out. We'd like to add more functionality though, perhaps by allowing images to be imported and these should then get put in the array, according to black/white-scale.
I have absolutly no idea how I'd start doing anything like this.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
You should use the File Dialog VI. Provide it with a promt name (appears in the windows bar). pattern label (image type name), file patern (extention like *.bmp or *.jpg) and a start path (folder you would like to start in). You will now get a popup which starts in the folder you provided and limits to the extention you provided. Se VI attached (LV 2011) for an example.
What falkpl ment with VDM is Vision Development Module. This is an addon which you can install onto LabVIEW. It gives you a large library of VIsion functions to work on your images. For more info goto:

IPhoto Images Turn Black

In iPhoto 9, vers. 8.1.2, new uploads turn black after editing in iPhoto and content is "0", meaning I can't export anything. I can revert to original, but in edited form the content is gone! This seems to be with my new Nikon camera images only. I don't really have to use their software to upload images, do I? I want to go from camera to iPhoto direct. I should be able to edit photos in iPhoto and export them.

I still have this problem. It has occurred on pictures imported from Sony, Nikon and Fuji cameras
Do the resulting files also end up at 0 kb? If not, then it's not the same issue.
There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help:
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

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).

Part or all of images turn black

Ever since upgrading to Version 35 Firefox (windows), many images on pages will turn black after a while. Clearing cache and refreshing page fixes the problem only to return after minutes. Here is an ongoing discussion that many others are dealing with.
https://github.com/srobbin/jquery-backstretch/issues/399
Some have come up with temporary fixes but it is not fixed. It is still ongoing for me in V36.04. It was not an issue in version 34.

hello, could you go to the firefox ''menu ≡ > help ? > troubleshooting information'', copy the contents of that page and paste them here into a reply on the forum? this might give us a clue what is going on...

Colour image on black & white photograph

How can I convert a colour photograph to part black & white? I believe I need to de-saturate to start with, but that's as much as I know.

John,
Since you asked about selection, here's an example using the Magic Wand and Selection Brush tools.
http://home.earthlink.net/~msand42/PSE/Selection%20Brush/album/
In the 1st shot I used the Magnetic Lasso to select the cat. This worked well since the outline of the cat contrasted with the background. For purposes of my example, I then cut off from the selection the top of his head and part of his paw, and selected a part of the blanket.
In the 2nd shot I activated the Selection Brush tool with the Mode option set to Mask and inverted the selection. Now the cat is masked in red. Note that the default Overlay value is 50% so that you can see through the mask. You might need to modify the Overlay so that you can see enough detail to paint the mask (next step). As you can see, the two missing portions of the cat are not masked and the excess blanket is.
In the 3rd shot I painted to fill in the missing portions of the cat. To erase the excess on the blanket I held down <Alt> while painting. You can adjust the size of the brush to get the necessary level of detail for painting.
In the 4th shot I inverted the selection and and set Mode to Selection to get back to the normal view showing the selected cat.
Of course if you have a steady hand you can simply draw the selection using the Lasso tool, but I wanted to demonstrate how you can fine-tune it with the Selection Brush.

Color LiveType Titling Turned Black & White

Pretty new to FCE, but I have an OK grasp of it.
I created a sequence which included several .ipr LiveType files. I decided I wanted to change the font. I entered FCE, right clicked on the media element for the title. LiveType opened up.
The titling used a default transition, and a moving default color texture as a text mask, not a background.
I changed the font, re-rendered and saved. When I went back into FCE, the text was white (background was default black). Previewing in LiveType, the titles are in color.
Is this a bug or have I done something wrong?

If you are just doing it to half of an image, a Graduated filter (perhaps several of them stacked) with a rapid transition break and 100% desat would work.
Otherwise you could stack multiple occurances of the adjustment brush until you drive all color out.
web-weaver is correct in pointing out this is a job better suited to PS.

Livetype Image turns Black in FCP

Ok,
I've got a canvas (Ovals) from Livetype. I changed it using the color sampler (sampling a color from a clip in my FCP timeline). The Livetype canvas plays just the way I want it. I import it into FCP, and it just displays black. If I import into FCP with the standard blue Ovals canvas (not changing color using the color-sampler), then it will display the canvas in FCP.
The biggest confuser for me here is that this worked fine, and I made a DVD and Quicktime of this project for my client ages ago. I am now trying to work with the files exported to a hard drive by media manager. For some reason, the Livetype files have quit displaying in FCP (as described in the first paragraph). Oh, it was actually transparent until I turned off the alpha channel on the .ipr clip in the browser.
Any thoughts or advice would be great,
Lawrence

I am having the exact same problem. Although, in my case, it worked fine the other day, the Ovals lower third bg came in to FCP fine and played etc. Today, I made a change to the title, and then back in FCP once it reset itself, the bg is gone. The titles are still showing, but no bg.
I think it might be the latest version of LiveType too. I had created a project awhile ago using the Ovals lower third, I changed the colors and it worked with no problems. Then recently, I went back into that sequence to change something, and it wouldn't show up anymore. So strange. Luckily, in that case I could copy paste the already rendered title from an older version of my sequence and that worked fine.
If you've found anything new out, i'd love to know the work around. It is quite frustrating.
I'll try trashing my preferences too, just in case that does the trick.
Thanks,
Jenn
