Outdoor pictures too bright

Hi,
I have problem with outdoor pictures taken with my blackberry, they are too bright and often come out as a white screen. Object on screen before I take the picture it looks good but once picture is taken screen changes and picture appears as almost white screen. Indoor pictures are still good. I played with different white ballance settings but it had no effect at all. Anybody have the same problem or solution to this?
Thank you

I finally was able to find a post that resolves this issue. It turns out to be a software problem related to
OS 4.5.0.37. After upgrading to 4.5.0.69, camera is working fine again.
Here a link where to download this version

Images too bright in PSE, good in Windows Picture Viewer.

Hi:
My question is this, I shot some pictures of my son last weekend, in studio,
with a Nikon D2X camera, and a softbox lightbank mounted on a Balcar
flash head. I set the camera to RAW-JPEG Fine, ISO 100, and used a
Minolta flashmeter to measure the light from the strobe. The reading was
f/8 and 2/3. The images look good in the LCD camera display, but when
I see them in my PC display, they look way too bright in Photoshop Elements 7.0,
but they look fine in the Windows XP SP3 Picture Viewer.
Why is this?. If I adjust the contrast and brightness in PSE, then they look too dark
when I check them in Windows Picture Viewer...
Also, the highlights look a little burned out in both, PSE and Windows Picture Viewer,
but the problem looks more evident in PSE. This happens often when I shoot pictures
using strobe lights.
Can you help me with this two problems?.
I have attached one of the pictures so you can take a look at it.
Thanks.

As to why the photo looks different in PSE than in Windows Picture And Fax Viewer, there are two possibilities:
1. Your display may have a color profile associated with it, either because you calibrated it with a calibrator or a profile was installed by the disk that came with your display. PSE is "color managed" and will adjust the colors of a photo based on the display's color profile, whereas Windows Picture And Fax Viewer will not. If you want fine control over accurate display of colors on your display, you'll need to calibrate it if you haven't already, and you should then only use color-managed programs like PSE to view your photos.
2. The photo you posted indicates that you've set your camera to use the Adobe RGB color space for JPEGs. The Organizer has a bug and doesn't display the thumbnails (even large thumbnails) of such photos correctly. The Organizer's Display > Full Screen (F11) and the Editor do display such photos correctly. I'm not sure if this particular photo will trigger the bug, because of the way Nikon in particular stores color profiles in JPEGs. You could see if you're getting hit by this bug by:
a. Open the photo in the Editor.
b. In the Organizer, make the photo's thumbnail as large as possible (not Full Screen view).
c. Adjust the zoom of the photo in th Editor to be about as large as the one in the Organizer.
d. Use Ctrl Tab to switch quickly between the two. If you see differences, you're encountering the bug.

Unfortunately, you have done all that can be done without visiting a Nokia Care Point and you may even have issues getting parts for the N8 now, but all I can suggest is to have a professional repairer check it out as it looks to be a physical issue

Outdoor picture is all white

I purchased a Webcam NX Pro yesterday and it works fine inside. However, when I try to take pictures out the window, everything is white, like it is drastically over-exposed.
If I pick it up and point it into the room, it is fine. Out the window, all white.
Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!
Kasey

I have the same problem - only worse.
I am setting up the webcam through Skpe's video settings and get exactly the same issue - the difference being that the exposure blows out to white immediately after leaving the settings.
That is - I toggle white balance and band filter between outdoor and something else,
leaving them on outdoor in the end.
Exposure is set to auto (non-auto doesnt help - min is too bright)
And it works. I can see the outdoor image very nicely in the little window in the skype settings. Close the settings and I get whiteout again - until I move indoors.
Open the settings - fiddle again - I can get it working.
Same thing happens with any other app like Windows Movie Maker. Same thing on other machines.
This is a hardware and/or driver issue.
Did anyone get this resolved?

Webcam Live Saturating on Outdoor Pictures

Has anyone used a webcam live for outdoor pictures (looking through a window)? My camera is saturating on the outdoor light level. I have tried to use automatic adjust and set exposure to minimum with manual, but still can't see anything outside, only white screen.
Going now to buy it some sunglasses. Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Al

Pictures too dark - not a monitor calibration problem

I believe this is some kind of color space or EXIF data issue I'm having. The jist of it is this: if I view one of my pictures (they're in jpg format) in Windows Explorer, they look fine. But when Lightroom opens the picture or displays it in the library, it looks too dark. (Important note: this is not a monitor calibration issue. Searching on Google reveals tons of advice along these lines, but that's not what's happening here. Lightroom is simply displaying things differently than anything else.)
Photoshop had this problem also, but Adobe supplied a patch that made Photoshop ignore the color space EXIF data so my pictures would display "correctly". There does not seem to be any such equivalent fix for Lightroom. I'm using Windows XP - perhaps there's something I can do in the OS to fix this issue? I believe most of my pictures are sRGB.
How do I get Lightroom to display my pictures correctly? They are, of course, impossible to edit while they display like this. Thanks in advance for any help!

Thanks for the responses. I freely admit I don't understand color management. I also admit I have not calibrated my monitor. I know, therefore, that my colors are not perfectly synchronized across all my devices - and I'm fine with that for the moment, because they are close enough. What comes out of my camera, what is displayed on my monitor, and what comes out of my printer are all pretty close. I will calibrate soon and get even closer, but for now perfect color isn't my chief concern.
My problem is not that the colors don't match, it's that the pictures are too dark when displayed in Lightroom. By "too dark", I mean several stops of exposure too dark. A picture will display a certain way on my camera and in Windows, and the histogram reflects this. Then I load it into Lightroom, and while the histogram looks the same of course, the picture itself is being displayed like I took it at night. Hence, as far as I can tell, it's not a monitor calibration issue. If I were to calibrate the monitor to display the pictures in Lightroom correctly, everything else would look too bright, wouldn't it? Including Lightroom itself. Besides, it wouldn't be possible to brighten my monitor to the point that the pictures looked acceptable - that's how dark they are.
Here's another clue: if I'm at work, and I RDP to my PC at home, and open Lightroom in the RDP session, everything looks great. So, I'm thinking it's a Windows color space issue of some kind. The question is, since I admit I don't know much about color space, what might be the problem and how might I fix it?
So to summarize: incorrect color calibration isn't my problem (though I know it's something I have to do if I ever want to perfectly match output on my monitor and printer). The colors across all my devices are close enough for my purposes. Incorrect color isn't my problem at all. The problem is that Lightroom on my PC displays pictures as if most of the histogram was on the left, even when that's not the case. The pictures in Lightroom look nothing like they look on my camera, in Windows Explorer, or when printed on my printer. Why is that, and what can I do to fix it? Thanks.

Final rendering of video is low quality and too bright

Here is the link to my original video clip, the video clip in the project, and the final rendered copy all on my monitor at the same time:
http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t63/shadon1nja/FixingRenderQuality_zps124306a5.png
Here is the text of each video when fullscreened screened:
http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t63/shadon1nja/RenderText_zpsd1240701.png
The picture got downsised which makes it harder to see the issue,but here is most of the it:
The final copy is lower quality and way too bright. Noticibly too bright. The clean darks turn into rough gray, and the quality is noticibly lower as well. I have checked the "use maximum render quality" and tried exportiing in AVI and MP4, and nothing is fixing it. Any ideas?

First of all, what type of file do you need? If you're looking for lossless quality then I would suggest exporting a quicktime file with the Animation codec or some other lossless codec. However, these type of files are huge and they might not play back on your desktop. But, if you're just going to put this video on the internet when you're finished with it then I would suggest starting with one of the Youtube or Vimeo H.264 presets and modifying it to match your clip. It still won't look as good as your original, but you can't expect miracles when working in SD and exporting to H.264, which is a very lossy codec to begin with. If you want to try exporting to a lossless Quicktime or AVI, then change the settings so they look something like this:

HP LaserJet 100 colorMFP M175nw scanned images are too bright

Hello!
Is there a way to change scanner's default image color correction as currently all of resulted scanned images (text documents, graphics, photos) are unnaturally too bright?
I had another HP Ink Jet printer also with scanner and all scanned images have good color correction there.
So I think there is a problem with my current one.
Does anyone knows how to fix it?
Thanks.

Hello, Futoji!
Sorry for big delay.
I did what you've told me and now I am wondering about what I see.
1) To scan documents I use both HP Scan and Apple Image Capture with default settings (no color correction).
Well it does not matter, though, because I see bright pictures right after scanning them.
2) I scan documents from flatbed (not feeder), well it is the same for feeder.
3) So, what I noticed was that printer scanned document and printed it almost exactly as it was only using hardware buttons on it.
But when I did scan using both programs above the same document, it was getting too bright to be real... When I printed such scanned image the result was accordingly bad.
So, what I think is that this scanner works differently for hardware buttons and software or applies some filters on the resulted image...
I found 2 similar posts to mine, they are describing the same problem for different printers, but unfortunately they didn't seem to be solved.

Laptop monitor too bright

I set the brightness setting on my laptop monitor to the lowest setting, but it is still too bright. I fixed the desktop by putting a picture with dull colors on it. But the white websites on Firefox are hard on my eyes, way to bright. Can I change background color or brightness on Firefox screen?

The old calender iOS6, in the year view, it shows how much busy I am in a day by indicating the color intensity. But the new calendar year view is totally useless!!! also too bright!! Why apple does this?? What is the way to revert the calendar back???

Unfortunately, that's the way the cookie crumbles nowadays. Sir Jony Ive's GUI design for iOS7 has been met with much skepticism (to say the least). But until the company sees the compelling need for an adjustment or reversal, it "ain't happenin' ". So amble over to the feedback page ( http://www.apple.com/feedback/ ) and make your displeasure known to the company, OR make it known by not purchasing its products. Because as long as the iGadgets continue selling as fast as they can make them, they will see no need for change.
BTW, do note you are NOT talking to Apple here. This is just a user-to-user forum.
Edit: for now, you can also try out any of the alternate calendaring apps available in the App Store.

I have sensory issues. How can I find an external monitor that isn't too bright?

I have sensory issues which make bright lights very painful. Some monitors are too bright to look at. I chose a Macbook Air, in part because Apple allowed me to dim the screen, but I wanted to find an external monitor so I could use the Macbook as a desktop as well as a laptop. I recently tried an Aoc monitor, but it doesn't allow me to dim the screen enough without special software. I would rather not have to use extreme settings [Brightness 0] and special software [Easy on the Eyes] to dim the screen. I had tried comparing brightness in-store, locally, but I guess I couldn't tell because the store was full of bright lights, and because I was wearing sunglasses to cope with the bright lights. Can anyone suggest ways to find better more accessible monitors?

There are two ways. Likely if you have the money, the Apple monitor would likely be the best options since it powers your macbook and other stuff as well. It is expensive though. For a nonApple monitor the feature you are looking for is called backlight level. The brightness control doesn't actually control brightness as might be expected because it modifies the signal. The backlight level however does control the brightness of the backlight itself, like the buttons on a real mac. You won't be able to use the buttons on the keyboard though. So when you go shopping, make the salesman show you this feature in the store in the monitors interface and you should be good to go.
Also, if you are sensitive to bright light, did you know about the ability to assign a single key on the keyboard to invert the screen instantly? I prefer white text on black myself.

PRINTER DISPLAY SCREEN ALMOST COMPLETELY WHITE (TOO BRIGHT/FADED/?)

I cannot read the images on my printer’s display (Product HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-all-in-one printer - N911a). The images are there, but barely discernible. I can't put my finger on whether the screen is too bright or too faint, or the images are too light. The display is NOT blank or black (and the HP Troubleshooting solutions to correct those problems have not corrected my problem, ie Hard Power Reset, updated firmware, and adjusted brightness setting), just too bright or too faint. Even with the screen brightness on the darkest setting, I still cannot make out the images. Interestingly enough, at the end of the day yesterday, the screen self-corrected somehow, and was back to a readable display. However, it reverted back to the problem overnight.

Hi busymom51 & otcheryl,
I understand that your issue is not the same as the title of the troubleshooting guide listed above: The Touchscreen Does Not Respond, however the troubleshooting steps are the recommended steps to attempt the resolution. If you followed the steps and the issue is not resolved, try again to update the firmware.
If your 8600 is the N911a, try this firmware update: HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911a Firmware. The printer will need to be connected to a Windows computer via USB for the firmware update.
If the 8600 is the N911g or N911n, use this update: HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911g_n Firmware. The printer will need to be connected to a Windows computer via USB for the firmware update.
If the firmware update does not help the dim display, contacting HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you would be the best option.

24" IMAC Display Too Bright

I am still doing DD on changing from WinTel to Apple. I have viewed both the 20 inch and 24 inch models at a local reseller. I have heard of several complaints that the 24" is too bright. Is there any validity to this complaint? Can the Brightness be easily adjusted? And a third question are there advantages to using a local reseller rather than a purchase directly from Apple re the net?

Hello,
The iMac 24" isn't an iMac (Flat Panel) in Apple's eyes so those of us in this forum won't be nearly so familar with specific issues like the brightness of the display on the 24" iMac. You should re-post your question here.
Of course the local retailer you can speak to face-to-face about your requirements and return it for support in the very unlikely event you have any issues. The online store may well be a very little cheaper and will probably have better build-to-order option.
G4 (Flat Panel): Intel:

Background screen too bright

The white background screen for messages & emails are entirely too bright & bland. Will there be an update where the user can select their own color background for emails & text messages?

I agree with you, the background for e-mails and the calendar are too bright. PLEASE APPLE, give us an update to make the calendar more useable. I absolutely hate it.
