Need help with scanned photo....

I scanned a photo into iphoto'11 using a new fujitsu scansnap s1500m.  Once I saved it, I changed the extension from .pdf to .jpg by going to "get info."  I then imported it into iphoto and I can see the thumbnail -- but when I click on the thumbnail I get a black screen.  I am using a MacBook Pro OS X 10.6.8 if that helps.  Can anyone tell me what did i do wrong?
I am a senior who is not very tech savvy, but I try.  I have scanned a total of two photos, but can only launch one of them in iphoto.  I have compared the three using "get info" but can't see a difference.  An old lady needs help......

You should also be able to set the scan type to JPG in, I'm assuming, there's an online preference window for your scanner.  It may be set to PDF as a default in the scanner.
Here's a Link to a Windows Help page on setting preferences:

You should be able to do similar things with your Mac.

    Freezing, or crashing?
    ID on the Mac can produce reports that may (or may not) prove helpful in diagnosing the problem. I suspect this is something not directly related to InDesign, and maybe not to any of the Adobe apps directly since you seem to be having a problem in more than one. That often inidcates a problem at the system level.
    Nevertheless, it won't hurt to try to gather the reports. You'll find driections for how to generate them, and to post them on Pastebin.com (then put a link to them here) so we can see what's going on at Adobe Forums: InDesign CS5.5 Not Responding
    Do you happen to run a font manager? If so, which one, and waht version?

  • Need help with scanning old photos

    Hi,
    I appologize in advance for the long post, but here it goes - I am an ultra newby and have been trying to figure out the best method of scanning and retouching. I have a new Epson V330 photo scanner and currently scan in 24-bit color at 300 dpi for most photos and 600 dpi for small photos like wallet size. I leave all the adjustment options OFF (unsharp mask, descreening, color resoration, backlight correction, dust removal) as I think that stuff should be done in photoshop. I save the scans as tiff files. In the tiff options box there is a checkbox that says "embed icc profile" although I don't know what profile it is embeding.
    I have recently been reading about color space and color profiles. I dug around in the setup for the epson and see that I could be scanning in 48 bid color (do I need that) and that there is a color configuration.  Currently it is set to "color control, continuous auto exposure. Display gamma: 2.2. Auto exposure level (right in the middle of low and high). The other options are ICM and no color correction.
    If I click on ICM, there is a source dropdown list, but the only thing there is "Epson standard". Then there is a target dropdown and the choices sRGB, Monitor RGB, Adobe RGB, Apple RGB, and ColorMatch RGB. There is then a check box that says "display preview using monitor compensation".
    If you are still reading this, what settings do you recommend I use?
    Thank you for your time.
    Brian

    If you are getting satisfactory results you may not need to change.
    For color, Epson will scan using its source profile.  Question is if and where best to make a conversion to other profiles such as AdobeRGB.  If you will be processing all your scans through Photoshop you can let Photoshop make this conversion to your Photoshop color working space when opening scan image file.
    If you won't be making tonal adjustments in Photoshop, probably 24-bit color will be sufficient (if you're satisfied with image appearance).  Likewise for auto exposure.  But if you find that you want to adjust the black or white points or tone curve then 48-bit may give you better results.  You can change mode to 24-bit RGB in Photoshop after you've made your adjustments.
    There are some functions that may better be performed closest to scanning by scan software.  Descreening is one, IME; although if you're scanning photo prints or transparencies you are not likely to need descreening.  You'll want to experiment with dust removal and sharpening to see what works best for your images.  Dust removal in particular you may find better-done by the scan software, particularly for transparencies (select Digital ICE).
    Another step to try: open your scan tiff in camera raw and apply nondestructive adjustments there before opening in Photoshop -- particularly sharpening and noise reduction.

  • Help with scanned photo in layers

    I am using Elements 9 trial, and my questions involves scanned photos.  I understand that the layers do not show in a scanned photo, and so I would like to know if there is a way to save the photos in Elements 9 so the layers can show.  What I want to do is remove all text from a magazine cover, leaving the person on the photo so I'll end up with a portrait with only the person's likeness.  Can this be done?  I am new to all this and would really appreciate some help.  Thanks ...

    You can try the following lines in PSE6:
    - After you have splitted all the scanned images, save all the images
    - now go to each image and select the part of the image that you want in the final image. You can use any of the available selection tools
    - now after selecting the part of the image, right click on the selected part and choose Layer via copy option
    - as soon as you will select this option a new layer would be created in the layers pane that you can find at right hand side. If the layers pane is not visible, you can select Window->Layers option to make it visible.
    - The new layer created in the layers pane would contain only that part of the image that you have selected.
    - Now select that layer in the layers pane and right click on it
    - You will get an option Duplicate Layer. Select it.
    - You will see a new dialog box.
    - Now give it a new name.
    - In the drop down, select the blank document that you have just created above. By default its name should be Untitled-1
    - Now Press OK button.
    - Go to the blank document that you have created. There you will find the new layer pasted that you have selected in the scanned image.
    - You can also adjust the size and the position of the new layer of image on the blank document (which is not blank at this point of time)
    - Now repeat the above steps for all the scanned images.
    Repost if you get any problems in doing above steps.
    Thanks.

  • Need help with uploading photos from PSE 12 to Revel

    When I first logged into Revel from my new Photoshop 12 I selected the option to have me select which photos would be uploaded to Revel.  That turned out to be a huge mistake.  All I want to do is upload my current catelogue with the albums intact to Revel for Cloud protection.  I have been working for two days to work around this and have had numerous problems.  I can't get my albums to get uploaded without creating a new album in revel and then downloading from there.  However, it appears that some albums have been authotmatically uploaded and I have thousands of pictures scattered, since most of them were scanned at different times and then organized into albums over the course of the past year.  Can anyone help me with this.  I was told that buying Adobe Photoshop 12 should make it very easy to put my photos in a cloud with the albums intact.  PLEASE help. 

    Are you just trying to set up all of your elements albums as mobile albums?

  • Need help with imovie photos extension. I am not able to view the editing tools no matter what I do!!!! Help please ASAP

    I Have read a lot of tutorials or whatever but Im not able to view the editing tools from imovie in the photos app. I have tried the trimmer thing and the yellow outline does appear but the only options available are "play, trim or cancel". I really really want to use the filters and stuff so please help me if you can!
    Thanks!

    Well, everything that you have bought with her Apple ID prior to getting your own Apple ID is forever hers. Apple will not transfer content from one ID to another. But in the case of the Mac, contact iTunes Customer Service and request that they send your issue to the Account Security Team and ask that the Mac be released form your mother's account so you may register it with your account. Then you can accept the iLife apps into your account for any future updates.

  • Need help with old photo

    I've never encounted this problem, and am struggling to master PS CS5 from CS3, so any help you can give me is greatly appreciated.
    I am trying to do a tile photomural of a wedding portrait from a 60 year old photo.  The photo itself (and it is the only one in existance) has a pebble-like finish, so that the light from the scanner created a random pattern of reflective spots.  Is there any tool in CS5 that will help me eliminate or minimize these?  They are most evident in the dark parts, especially hair.
    I really do appreciate your help
    Marianne

    This appears to be EXACTLY what I need, but I am having difficulty trying to figure out where to place the filters in CS5.  When I run the action, the dialogue tells me filter is unavailable.  Although it's a black and white picture, I am running it in RGB.  I'm a bit wary because the download did not offer a Mac filter option, it just said PC filter download. The instructions say to place the filters in "plug-ins" but that instruction was written several years ago. Do I have the right ones? Where do I place the downloaded filters now to make them available??

  • Need Help with creating photo CD's

    PSE 7.0....using "share", I created a few CDs the other day with no problem.  Now it doesn't see the blank CD...I've tried several and it just doesn't see it...it sees the drive, but not the blank CD when I put one in...I ran a registry cleaner in between when it worked and when it didn't.  Did that cause a problem?  Any fixes?

  • I need help with i photo e-mail

    i cannot send pictures from i photo as attachments to be downloaded to my daughters apple computer.  i don't know what I am doing wrong when I click on e-mail/forward/etc..as she does receive the pictures but there is no means to open and download as an attachment or whatever is needed.

    When the mail came through on MY apple mail program there was a Save box..but no arrow or ability to open it and add it to my iphoto.
    That is not an iPhoto issue -post in the Mail forum
    She has a new Apple desktop but she does not use Apple Mail,
    Then you need support for the e-mail client she is using  --  this is not an iPhoto issue either
    Both issues are for the e-mail client receiving the mail - it is being sent correctly

  • I need help with printing photo collages

    I've made several collages with different apps such as Diptic & PicFrame on my ip4s and I have uploaded them onto my desktop.  I have attempted to print the collages through Walgreens however, the pics are usually cropped or don't fit no matter how I edit them using the Wlagreen photo editor.    I would like to print these on 4X6 or 8X10.  Any suggestions?  Thanks. 

    Use a different provider, or print them out yourself. Nothing we can do to assist you with walgreens

  • Need help with digital photos that turn fuzzy in Final Cut Pro 5

    I read the whole thread on using still pictures in FCP 5 without finding a solution to the problem I am having these days. The digit pictures I am using are all around 1632 x 1232 pixels (230 dpi), they are about 43.8% after I drop them onto the timeline and I zoom in to no more than 75%. I don't know why dark colour edges in the pictures look pixelated. The picture quality (sharpness) also does not look not as good as it appears in the viewer. I tried resizing them in photoshop before bringing them onto FCP but that does not improve the picture quality. I also tried various video filters: Shift, de-interlace, but without any satisfactory result.
    Thank you in advance for any suggestions on this issue.

    It's almost to start guessing because you seem to have tried everything. But we can't tell if you applied these changes or filters properly without watching you or your output.
    My main problem is pixelated edges especially when there is a big contrast in colour. <</div>
    this could just be what you're stuck with. DV and MPEG2 are terrible codecs for hard edges. Professionally produced DVDs are carefully encoded using bigger-badder tools than you have at your disposal.
    Don't resize your images in PS, just bring them in full size and scale them locally in FCP. An image that is 1kx1k will only display about one-fourth of the image in the Canvas at full size because the Canvas only displays about 500x700 pixels.
    The scaling algorithm in FCP totally blows but it's a video app and should not be compared to PS. You do not need Photoshop scaling quality, wasted energy. What you DO need is proper motion blur for your moves, a bit of Gaussian to hide the inevitable artifacting.
    Open the manual and look up rendering options and render settings and realtime settings. The FCP5 settings offer some interesting options with meaningless descriptions.

  • HELP - Need help with recovering photos from iCloud

    This may be a simple question, but I've never had to do it before, so I am asking.
    I have an iPhone 4S.  It was backed up to iCloud yesterday before I had to swap my cracked screen phone for a new phone.  How do I recover photos that were backed up yesterday?  I am sure it is a couple easy steps, but can someone let me know what those might be to restore my phone from iCloud's backup yesterday?

    Photos and videos from your camera roll are backed up to iCloud when you do an iCloud backup.
