IPhoto 08 - my photos turn green

After importing and editing some photos, they turn green. Just about any editing will do it, ie: cropping, adjusting, etc. It doesn't always do it.
I can revert to the RAW original, but I've lost all the changes and even if I try again, they are still green.
They look like the original in the thumbnail, but when I open a pic, it turns green. It actually expands in the original, but quickly turns faded and green as if an opaque green film has been placed over it.
If I mess with it too much, I lose the picture and get an exclamation mark where it used to be.
I am using iPhoto '08 with a Nikon D40X. I have the image set as RAW (which gives me a .NEF suffix)
Any ideas?

I have no idea what's happening to your iPhoto.
The result was 189 events
So, is this more or less than you had before? How are we supposed to know?
... with unrelated photos
unrelated to what?
The photos were dated, but not always from that date.
So, the photos were dated incorrectly? Or they were dated correctly but in the wrong Events?
No library except the original library.
If you used the Rebuild command in iPhoto Library Manager then there are two libraries. Or do you mean in the iPhoto Window? If so, under Library there are two headings: Events and Photos. Are you saying they are not there?

Imported Photos Turning Green!

Weird - Aperture and iPhoto tinting my pics GREEN!
I am importing photos from my Canon D60 CF card via a Lexar FireWire card reader - which I have done many, many times - and after they are in a new Aperture project, they are being tinted green - I mean, heavily green, not just a green tinge. Prior to the actual import they look normal.
I tried iPhoto, same thing. Meanwhile, if I drag them from the CF card to the desktop, the thumbnails in Cover Flow look normal.
If I Choose "Edit with Photoshop (CS3)" they are green so it is not just the thumbnails. However, if I open them directly from the desktop with Photoshop, they are OK.
The hundreds of previous pics I have in Aperture are OK - except one other project., When I select that project and click on a pic in the browser, the version that shows up in the viewer is... you guessed it, GREEN. The browser one in that case remains OK - just the viewer version is tinted. But choosing "Edit with Photoshop" for either the browser or viewer version opens a green one.
Has anyone had this experience with the latest updates, etc? Any ideas?
Thanks,
Terry

Terry,
A few Sony users have noticed a similar issue (magenta not green) with RAW files after updating to RAW Update 2.2 a week or so ago.
If this sound like something that applies to your situation, then click on the following link and scroll down to an entry by "Clem" on Sept 17th at 9:56 AM for a "downgrade" back to RAW Update 2.1:

Good luck

Some photos pulled from iPhoto turn green when placing them in a project. Is there any way to fix this?

I am using a Macbook Pro with 2GHz Intel Core i7 processor; 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 memory and OS 10.9.4. I have iPhoto 9.5.1 and iMovie 10.0.4. I have a project with video, and have added some still photos from my iPhoto Library. All of the photos appear fine until I add them to a project. Then some of them turn to a solid green. If I create a mp4 from this project, the offending photos remain green.
I have checked the offenders in iPhoto to see if there is a common denominator. There is no common camera and no common editing. I did make a previous attempt to place some of the photos into an iMovie project and some of them were dropped into the wrong place--like into a title. But didn't notice any glitches at that time, only afterwards and I'm not sure if any of the problem photos were a part of that incident.
I have absolutely no problem with iPhoto. Is there a library file that can be deleted to force iMovie to rebuild its connection to iPhoto.

Only to load your backup from before downloading the MM photos

Every time i restart iPhoto , i have to turn on photo stream again, somebody know why?

every time i restart iPhoto , i have to turn on photo stream again, somebody know why?

I have exactly the same problem with iPhoto. On my iPad I just enabled Photo Stream once and it automatically is enabled each time I turn it on again. But on my MacBook Pro and my older tower Mac (both running Lion) I have to enable Photo Stream every time I reboot the computer. Frustrating.

Scanned b/w photos turning red in iphoto

I scanned in some old b/w photos into iphoto. They appear to be fine, but if I make any changes to them, such as cropping them, the photo turns red. How can I stop this? Thanks

IPhoto does not support gray scale. You must use RGB (sRGB) is recommended
Rescan with a color profile or export and change to sRGB and import

IPhoto photos into iMovie - once rendered, photo turns black

I posted under another thread, but decided this might be better posted to the larger group.
I was working off of an external harddrive when the problem first manifested itself. Dragging a photo from the media pane into the time clip, I saw that the photo turned black and would not display after being rendered.
I moved the drive to another Mac, also an iMac G4 but with a faster processor, and a slightly different experience occurred. Upon starting up the project, when I clicked yes to view the trash, the photos I had been trying to use were no in the trast.
I put a few back and tried to apply the effects, but then the photo turned black. then I grabbed a photo from iPhoto again. The photo would show up but the Ken Burns effect would not stick. If it did stick, the photo turned black and wouldn't display. I saved and quit.
Took my external harddrive to my Powerbook. Had better luck grabbing photos from iPhoto, but no Ken Burns effects worked.
Now I'm back on my original iMac. This time I copied the project to the iMac's harddrive. Now there is another experience - a little closer to what I want but still not what I'm used to:
I added the photo to the timeline, it rendered itself to black again. Much frustrated sighing.
However, I had added some music to the timeline in the interim periods and just decided to view what I had. Lo and behold the black photo displayed with the Ken Burns effect. I added a couple more photos and they began to behave as they always have. You can see the photo in the time line. The black one is still black.
All this is quite unsettling. I plan on doing a project with 60 students in October and need to know if anyone thinks this is a bug or what? Thanks for any insight.

I am having the same problem images turning black when brought into the timeline Started when bringing in Photos from APERTURE 1.5. Thought this program was the problem so, I imported the same images into iPhoto. The problem does seem to "fix" when transitions are added , but this makes it difficult to edit and rearrange images. The hard drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (journaled). Shooting a Nikon D-70; D-200. Images a 2 - 5MG. Most confusing it is not consistent happens to some images and not others. Same problem happened when images were imported to iMovie.
ANY SUGGESTIONS MOST APPRECIATED, TRYING TO COMPLETE A BIG PROJECT THIS WEEK.
THANK YOU

Why do my scanned photos turn red when I try to edit them in IPhoto?

Why do my scanned photos turn red when I try to edit them in IPhoto?

Assuming these are Black and white, iPhoto still needs an RGB colorspace assigned, it can't work with images that are in B&W colorspace.
Scan in color and de-saturate in iPhoto, if required.

My Iphoto keeps saying "photos are being imported into the photo library" and wont let me close the window or even turn off my computer. Help?

IPhoto 8.x edit, rotate; portion of photo turns black

iPhoto woes:
Scanned JPEG image prints okay. Thumbnail looks right.
Slight rotating and/or slight cropping of image image prints right size but print is black NOT image. Thumbnail is now black.
Scanned TIFF image, rotated and/or cropped image prints okay. Thumbnails okay.
Back seems to be layered over the image on sides and/or top and bottom.. Printed to PDF also has same large blacked areas.
Any insights?

More detail:
The images were scanned using the Kodak All in One ESP 7 scanner and saved in a folder.
Then I dragged the images folder into iPhoto and iPhoto would begin the export but crash. When I relaunched iPhoto, no images had been imported, but it would notify me there were un-imported images and ask if I wanted to continue the import. "19 photos have been found in the iPhoto Library that were not imported. Would you like to import them?"
Answered yes and it would begin the import again, but then crash again. Some of the image would import before the crash. I would then find a new folder in my Pictures folder with the photos that were not imported. The folder was named "iPhoto Library Recovered Photos"
In iPhoto, I would edit (rotate, crop) a photo that had been imported successfully. Then the black swatches would show up on the image.
When Terence Devlin asked about the color profile I tried an experiment. I opened each photo from its original location using Preview. Then I used Preview's Tool menu and chose "change color profile" and I selected the Adobe RGB (1998) and saved each image.
I then deleted my entire iPhoto Library file, relaunched iPhoto, dragged the scanned files (with the Adobe RGB color profile into iPhoto. Same problem as before, but 24 instead of 12 were able to successfully import after the first crash when it offered to reimport the un-imported images.
Humm. Then I noticed that 16 of the 76 image names began with a space. FIxed those and tried again. Still crashes iPhoto when it tries to complete the import when it's relaunched after the crash.

After upgrading to Yosemite (I don't have iPhoto anymore, only PHOTOS) my pictures will not import from my iPad or iPhone 5s or any picture from web, it shows "Database Error: failured to persist version"

After upgrading to Yosemite (I don't have iPhoto anymore, only PHOTOS) my pictures will not import from my iPad or iPhone 5s or any picture from web, it shows "Database Error: failured to persist version". Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Sorry,
Yes, the error message is exactly like that ("Database error: failured to persist version")
No photos will import at all. I use USB to import from iPhone 5s or iPad 2.
About the difference? iPhoto and Photos . Are there two softwares?
I also will like to merge and/or synchronize all my photos I had saved to iCloud backups, Macbook Pro, iPhone 5s and iPad hard drives using iPhoto. It's call iPhoto library. At one point I turned off streaming.
Thanks again Larry HN.

IPhone no longer shows in iPhoto to import photos after 9.2 and iOS 5 updates

For some reason my iPhone 4S doesn't show in iPhoto to import photos. Oddly, iPhoto will launch when I plug into sync, but the phone does not show. Also, the phone doesn't show in the Image Capture application.

Same problem but I noticed that plugging my iphone or ipad in will launch iphoto and the device will show up on the left and new photos from the device will display. However, the devices don't show up on the left if iphoto is already running when when I plug them in. It's an easy workaround to turn iphoto off before plugging the device in but it's not the way it was before upgrading to IOS5 and 9.2.

I never had this problem before but all of a sudden when I go to "edit" a photo the photo turns black. All the editing functions appear but I cannot see any picture. When I hit "done" the photo reappears. Why can I no longer see my photo for editing pu

For years I have had no problems editing photos. However, for some reason when I go to "edit" my photo the photo turns BLACK/BLANK. The editing functions appear but I cannot see the photo. When I select "done" the photo reappears. Why is the photo disappearing for editing? Have I hit a command accidentally that is causing this? Really appreciate someone's assistance.

Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - Run Option #1, Repair Permissions, followed by Option #4, Rebuild Database, if needed.

Is there a way to stop iPhoto storing my photo stream photos on the mac hard drive when enabled? They have not been imported to my library. I have no photos saved on my MacBook Air yet 50gb of Hardrive space is taken up by photos.

Is there a way to stop iPhoto storing my photo stream photos on the mac hard drive when enabled? They have not been imported to my library. I have no photos saved on my MacBook Air yet 50gb of Hardrive space is taken up by photos. When I turn off photo stream on iCloud preferences the memory is freed up. I like to be able to access my icloud photo streams on
my macbook but it has a small Hardrive and loosing that much space is annoying and it kind of voids the point of photo streams. Is there a way I can stop
this ?

Is there a way I can stop

No, Photo Stream is syncing with iCloud. The most recent 1000 photos in iCloud will be buffered on your mac, even if you do not import them to your photo library, if you enable My Photo Stream.
See this link: iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
iCloud pushes all your photos to the My Photo Stream album on your devices and computers, and manages them efficiently, so you don’t run out of storage space.

IChat screen turns green.

I'm not sure what to do...
on my ichat my webcam thing for me turns green
and when im on photo booth, it turns green as well.. as if it cant see anything.
Is my isight broken?
Help!

Hi Mac?,
It will depend on whether you have a G5 iMac or not in the first instance (see the link in the other post).
Fo MacBook variants it tend to need the PMU reset.

I do not understand iPhoto and/or Photo Stream, help me?

I do not understand iPhoto to say the least. I've imported my photos which I have stored on an external networked hard drive. However after they've been uploaded to the iPhoto library, I've got NUMEROUS duplicates which seem to be showing as different events even though they are the same photo.
Another thing is that in Photo Stream which I have turned on my iPhone 4, I seem to have photos showing up in there that have nothing to do with a photo I've taken on my iPhone or manually dragged them to Photo Stream. They are mostly some old photos that I've NEVER had on my iPhone at all. How did they get there. My photos that I've taken with the phone or saved on my Iphone are there just like I was expecting but most of these photos, and this is while I'm on my iMac, are just a bunch of random photos. I don't even know how to delete these photos in Photo Stream to try and start over.
Could someone help me understand iPhoto and/or Photo Stream, these are two different questions please!

Is there a specific file that iPhoto makes and stores on my computer or the external drive that has the iPhoto library? I want to delete all instances of it and try reloading my library.
Also, how do I reload or start fresh a Photo Stream library on my computer? What's weird is that the photos on my iMac are not what's on my iPhone. I mean I have the ones that are on my iPHone are within the iPhoto's Photo Stream but then there is also a bunch of other photos that I have no idea how they got there.
