Need slideshow advice. Colors fading on export - no matter what I try

I don't remember having this much trouble in the past.
The slideshow looks excellent in iPhoto, but when I try to export it to iDVD or build it in iMovie, it loses color. The same thing happened when I tried Fotomagico. I tried making the iMovie movie HD1080, but that only increased the resolution - the color problem remains.
See example below of the pic in iMovie before import into the timeline and after. See how "dull" the second pic is?
Any ideas?

Hello, Katie,
Sorry for your photo loss problems.
I am not understanding what you did before you lost them.
The 326 pictures that I had found, I found them in the albums that I had copied them into, prior to the problem
Are you meaning that you put photos into albums within iPhoto? Those 'photos' are only alias that point to your iPhoto Library where the photos are actually stored. If you put them into albums in iPhoto, the originals don't get copied and should still be in the iPhotoLibrary.
So, I don't think I understand what 'albums' you mean, unless you moved them yourself, outside iPhoto.
As you are finding, when iPhoto loads, it looks into iPhotoLibrary files to find and load your photos. Usually, these are in your Pictures folder. If you have moved the photos to some other folders, iPhoto is not finding them because they are not where it looks. If you have not deleted the photos, you should be able to find them by searching on your hard drive for the .jpgs if that is the format for your photos.
If you have tampered with iPhotoLibrary's files and folders, you may have caused serious problems. See this: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=165521
If your search for the photos on your HD found only the 326 photos, then they are gone. You must have deleted them somehow. You might try a Data recovery program such as these: http://www.prosofteng.com/products/datarescueinfo.php?PHPSESSID=6644886d9d018b32492d16da027253c4

For the future.....always make a backup of your iPhoto Library. Our photos are too precious to trust having them in only one location.

I NEED DESPERATE HELP! ADWARE THAT DOES NOT GO AWAY NO MATTER WHAT I TRY

So I was downloading something to my computer and, of course, I got stuck with that Only Search thing and no matter what I try it DOES NOT GO AWAY. I tried turning off my extensions, I tried switching networks, I tried resetting safari. Deleting my history. Every. Single. Thing.
And nothing works.
Pleas please PLEASE someone help me with getting rid of this I HATE having an adware.

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Internet criminal behind VSearch has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

I need help with color correction (im not sure if what i want its called color correction but i bring examples)

ok thanks for reading me, im an amateur guy who wants to edit his videos in order to have that look like tv show or cinematic, i dont want just the 2 seconds curves tutorial to improve videos, y want something more like these videos
https://vimeo.com/48655453
Buildings & Vampires on Vimeo (second 30)
A-Trak & Tommy Trash’s Tuna Melt | The Kid Should See This (1:32) (and also all the video but more like what i want in 1:32)
i dont know how to say it but theres a way to make blur and lights way better and i see it in a lot of videos, i can just think of this examples for now but maybe you get it, sorry for my english, hope you can help me

I would like to direct you to THIS video:
Behind the Scenes: A-Trak & Tommy Trash - Tuna Melt on Vimeo
Look at how many people are involved in the shoot. Look at all the professionals from various disciplines. Look at all the rehearsal. Look at all the painstaking attention to detail. Look at all the professional equipment they used.
Yes, I looked at the shot at 1:32 in the video they made. They used a Steadicam to stabilize the camera going up the stairs. They used gels on the window to reduce the light intensity and help correct the color temperature. The interior spaces of the upstairs and downstairs have also been lit to avoid irising problems. They didn't rely on mere chance.
Did you also notice the subtle cuts at 00:38 and 1:54? That video was not shot in one take, and that's a fact. And before they even got to the step of color grading, they KNEW they had good video to work with because they had the professional experience to attain it.

Flash CS5: Stage background changes to white upon export no matter what color I set it to?

Hello,
As the title speaks for itself, I've been running into this problem since yesterday and couldn't figure out what is wrong with flash. Normally, I like to work with black background, so my stage background is always set to black, However, when I exported to view my project, the background changes to white. I've tried to check the preferences, setups and nothing I found suspicious is causing this.
I've tried to create a new AS 3.0 document, and still, it gives me a white background when I export to view regardless if I set the stage background to red or blue.
I've tried restarting my computer, and yet nothing is fixing it.
If anyone can help me figure out this problem, I'll gladly appreciate it! Thanks..

Thanks for the wonderful quick fix simPod_, I've deleted my mm.cfg file, but somehow this isn't permanent. It should do for now except the hassle of deleting the file and restarting flash. If anyone else have a permanent solution to this, I'll gladly appreciate any responses. Thanks!

Exporting XML from PP CS6 to Resolve. Doesn't work no matter what we try!

My colorist and I have been pulling our hair out trying to figure out how to get this project into Resolve. I am running the latest version of PP Cs6 on a Windows PC. Edited the feature in native R3D format, 4.5k, everything was smooth as silk. I prepped the project by breaking it into 20 minute reels, removing all effects and speed changes, collapsing it down to 2 video tracks and 1 audio tracks and exporting an XML.
Colorist is running the newest build of Resolve 9 on a Mac and tried to open the XML but it doesn't work. It only shows one clip on the timeline and nothing else. I tried exporting an EDL and it loads a ton of stuff in, but the clips are not right and seem to be the whole takes. He has tried to open in FCP to remake the XML, but it won't open there either. I even tried finding and replacing all the .R3D file extensions in the XML to "_M.MOV" to make it use the proxies instead but no dice.
Is there any way to make this work? I feel like people go from Premiere to Resolve all the time with no hassle. Since we're both using the latest builds I am wondering where the hangup is. I feel like its within Premiere but I don;t know what to mess around with at this point.
Any assistance is appreciated!

I wrestled with that for about 20 hours before getting it.
Here's some of my code:    makeButton("Refresh Table",northP,
    new ActionListener()
      public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent e)
        updateTable();
public void updateTable()
    ch.sendShowAll();
    model.handleServerMessages();
    model.fireTableDataChanged();
/////////////////////This worked for me.
Both these methods occur in the JFrame class that displays the table. I pass the table
model to the JFrame constructor. In the above code, the model object is an instantiation
of the class that extends AbstractTableModel, with the methods getElementAt(), getRowCount(), and getColumnCount().
If you post some of your code,I'll try to help.

How do I export a folder containing multiple photos from iPhoto? I can't get it to export anywhere- no matter what I try!

Flash player doesnt work with firefox no matter what i try to do.Have windows xp.It does work if i use to internet explorer.Dont know what else to do.Need help

Cant get Flashplayer to work with firefox

There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash player; one for IE (ActiveX) and one for most other browsers including Firefox (Plugin). You do not appear to have Flash installed for Firefox (Plugin) on the system used to report your question (click "More system details" to the right of your original question, "Shockwave Flash" is not listed). You can check in your Firefox Add-ons > Plugins to see if "Shockwave Flash" is listed but disabled. When updating Flash on a Windows system with IE installed, you should always update both.
Download (for your OS and browsers), save, close all browsers, run the installers that you just downloaded from the following page:

The Yahoo password in the mail settings of all my Apple devices has reverted to an old version and, no matter what I try, following advice from the community, it always returns to the old password. How can I solve this issue?

The Yahoo password in the mail setting on all my apple devices - iPad, iPhone 5, mini iPad - has permanently reverted to an old version. I have tried all the suggestions provided by the community so far but nothing works. When I delete the account and re-enter the details, the updated password is recognised and seems to save but, when I go back into the account, the old password is the one that is there.
I am desperate! How can I solve this issue please?

Color Looks Faded when Exporting from FinalCut Express

I am a new FinalCut user, so this might be a novice question:
I am currently trying to export my project from FinalCut Express and, though the color looks fine in my timeline and on my Viewer window, when I export to any type of movie (and I've tried several compressions) The color is extremely faded.
The footage was captured from DVD on another program, but looks fine when played on its own in Quicktime Player.
I can't imagine that a video editing program like this would have this type of fatal flaw, so I'm sure I'm doing something wrong.
If anyone could give suggestions as to what might be happening upon export and how I could fix it, it would make my first FinalCut project a much better success.
Thanks so much!

Thanks for helping me!
I'm not sure why you say FCE doesn't edit H.264.
Do you mean it doesn't capture and convert from DVD to H.264?
Because I did not capture my footage on FCE, I had an editor use her Avid to capture the footage.
She gave me 4 files, quicktime movies, in H.264 compression.
I asked her again, just to make sure and in the clip info, it says the same: Compression: H.264
They seamed to have imported into FCE fine and I edited what I needed.
It's also an export option under Quicktime Conversions so I assumed since my original files are H.264, that I should keep the same compression.
I really hope I don't have to recapture...my material looks fine in the edit windows as well as the timeline. Do you think my original footage at H.264 is the problem?
Can I just convert the clips to another format and re-import?
Thanks again!

Colors fading on PDF export from Illustrator/Indesign CS2

Hi guys,
I can't figure out why colors are fading when exporting to PDF. I've had this issue for a long time and am finally fed up with it enough to post. I'm in the RGB space in Illustrator (and transparency blend in InDesign). I'm using CS2 and Acrobat Pro 7 on Windows XP.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Please repost in the Illy forum as your pdf generation does not use Acrobat technology, the people that use Illy will have the most experience in helping your fix your problem.

Need advice on how to export ALL images including any changes (Versions)

I have well over 15000 RAW ORF Olympus images in Aperture with approximately 10000 of them in the database and the rest as references to the file on the file system.
My problem is 'many' fold...
First I am frustrated with using Aperture only because it doesn't seem to perform well anymore either because I have too many files, the database is corrupted, DB IO is slow... I don't know but its not performing as it did when I started using it and I don't know what to do to fix it... so with that said here are a few options I am pursuing and the problems I am having doing so.
I am moving to Adobe Bridge and Photoshop CS4, however with most of the files in the Aperture database I need to have them exported... however the only options are Master and or Version, which is frustrating because if I choose Master I get the original RAW file less all the changes done to any versions and if I choose the version I get customized JPEG's less the RAW master file. huh! I would like if possible some other options but I can understand if they don't exist.
1. One option would be to get all the masters (which I can do now) but only if they are in the database and not referenced.
2. Second option only would be to get all the versions if the RAW was modified and not export a version for a selected image if it does not exist.
3. Third, have some way to only selected actual modified version images and not every image in a folder or in the database.
4. Export to Photoshop .psd format with layers instead of versions?
5. Filter by files in the database and files that are referenced.
6. ... I'm open to other suggestions.
Is there a way to move all the database files back to file referenced to shrink the Database or do I need to export everything and then re-import them as references?
The export process for so many files is killing me as its taking me days and days and I have no way to cross check to ensure all the files and versions are retained when exported - I'm not sure what I have or how to rebuild them in Aperture at a later time once exported?
I am exporting the sidecar file with every image but am not sure the value or significances of this file - can this file help when moving to Photoshop/Bridge?
BTW. Another reason I wish to move from having Aperture manage my files in its database is I have now lost a few hundred unrecoverable pictures for no known reason in aperture, once after a trap as I was processing a image, I lost all of my sisters funeral shots - so so sad.
Help!!!

Something is very very very wrong - 15,000 images are nothing, unless you have them all in one project. I have 300,000+ with no issues in performance. Another indicator is days to export 15,000. Don't blame Aperture - you have a giant problem.
I am not going to address how to do what you want exactly because I do not have the time but here are some hints -
You can search for adjusted versions, and you can search for managed vs. referenced (file status). You may want to think about using relocate master with some clever subfolder options/selections to put all of you original masters and any external edited masters (PSD, etc) into a nice neat hierarchy for you to browse via bridge - Aperture is fantastic at reorganizing directory structures via relocate masters.
There is no way to export adustments+RAW that Photoshop can interpret. If you want the Aperture non-destructive adjustments you must export versions end of story.
Personally I would figure out why you are having such issues with Performance - there is a cause and it will probably give you issues no matter what you are using down the road.

Color profiles on export

I've searched these forums and google for a few hours without finding a concrete answer for this problem.
The problem is that, no matter what I do, every jpg I export from iphoto 08 seems to have the Adobe RGB color profile. This is contrary to what the docs say, which is that either the camera's profile (sRGB in this case) or "cameraRGB" (a variant of sRGB) should be used when "Embed ColorSync profile" is selected.
With Adobe RGB, all my photos look like garbage on any non-mac (since they aren't color profile aware and assume sRGB).
My photos originate as raw files from a Nikon D70. The D70 has sRGB set as its color profile. Using the ColorSync utility to change the camera from its original setting of cameraRGB to sRGB didn't make any difference. (As it shouldn't since they are essentially equivalent according to apple.)
Any way to fix this, or do I need to move on from iphoto? Would it make a difference if I wasn't working with raw?

slive:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try looking for all occurrences of the AdobeRGB1998.icc profile on your HD, archive them in place and remove the original profile. This will let you replace them if you find they are needed at a later date for some other use. Then try some new shots from the camera, import, edit and export. See if that will let you avoid having the Adobe profile used upon exit.
There may be two or three on your Mac. You can find them with Spotlight.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Colors Faded on Web From Illustrator

I hope you can help. The graphics I make in Illustrator C3 look clear and great on my monitor, but when uploaded to the web, they are faded by maybe 20%. I'm on a Mac OS 10.4 powerbook laptop and am not an expert with monitor calibration. All I know is that it looks great on my monitor when I'm looking at it in Illustrator, and is faded on the web. Even when I use color safe web colors - faded. Although unrelated, when I design something to be printed digitally (with no PMS ability for digital printing), the colors are consistent with what I see on my monitor, thank goodness.
I have tried exporting to a bmp and saving from Photoshop C3, but that maybe corrects it a bit. Still not fully sharp and definitely faded. When I save as a svg, and give to my programmer who uses Linux, he can save the file perfectly on some program he has. Also, when I save as a gif, there is a white line around the image. Not the case when it's a svg for my programmer. My Photoshop won't open a svg. I don't know about my color settings, and suspect that they are the problem. If anyone can help...thanks!!

If you're not having you images printed professionally in publications why are you editing in CMYK. Displays and inkjet devices are RGB devices CMYK images need be converted when used on these devices. If in every step color management is used and all devices calibrated well colors should be quit consistent however color management is not always used and colors will be off when color management is not done. Photoshop is color managed is photoshop the only software you're using for your images. No Image viewers, no browsers, no document application etc.
Also when I save the above image you state is a jpeg Its save as an png file with some Display color profile. You need yo look into color management and what you useing as your color setting in Photoshop and hd.ow progile mismatches are handle.
In fact all three image are png file Color mode is RGB 8bit all have a display color profile all are different in sizes and at least one has different content. All are different yet you claim they are the same.

Nokia 6233 Silver Color Fading

Hi Nokia and members,
I would like to seek some assistance and advice in regards to my "Stainless Steel" color fading away over the past few months, and this is only occurring to the back of my phone which seems plastic-like compared to the front.
My phone remains in my pocket most of the time. Everything is still new with really really minor scratches because I treat my phones very well. My last phone was the SGH-E800 which is still working and only with 1 or 2 scratches on it. To have colors fading away is just .... BAD!
Can anyone help me?
Should I:
1) Call up and inquire about it
I'm not the calling up type but I would do it if i need to
2) Get Warranty claimed
If this is possible that is
3) Bring it back to where I got and ask if they can help
But I doubt they could/would...
4) Any other suggestions and advice, Thank you
Attski

Hello Nokia Lovers and Fans! Woo.......Ye.......LoL

Its acceptable to accept fair wear and tear dependant on the age of the fone, so you have to expect some sort of asthetical decline.
However if the fone is somewhat new and you are experiancing this ,then I agree with the previous advice, which is to submit the handset to your local NSC for it to be examined.
Even keeping it in your pocket and treating it carefully you will still see wear and tear from simply handling it to take calls or text out.
Cases will slow down this but also tend to make the fone look a little ugly sometimes.
You will probably find that if the replacemnent is upheld then it will be of the same colour as originally purchased, unless you offer to pay a fee to change it.
