Photo becomes black

When I try to crop a photo in CS6 often times the photo turns totally black. Is there a fix for this?

Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.
Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. More information means you get better assistance.

Some photos uploaded from iPhone4 becomes black on iPhoto

When I upload my pictures from my iPhone4, several vertical profile photos become black. They look fine on my iPhone and when I email them from my iPhone and save them on my Mac they look normal, but if I drag them into iPhoto (even under a different name), they become black again =S I tried deleting the photo and re-uploading, still the same...

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). 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:

Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Why when I want to take photo , the camera will appear such pink colour vertical line and become black and the video just can record 1 min only ?

why when I want to take photo , the camera will appear such pink colour vertical line and become black and the video just can record 1 min only ? why ? is that any problem ?

are you using the iOS camera? if you do, visit your apple store for further help, sounds like a hardware problem.
or:
hold home and lock button pressed until your iphone restarts.
if that didn't help, visit your apple store.
if you are not using the iOS camera, delete that app.

Picture simply becomes black or a black triangle

When i select a picture, go to Full-Screen Mode (f), and for example slide the highlights or shadows slider, the picture immeidately becomes black. When I am not in fullscreen mode, the pic becomes a black triangle. When I deselect the modifications, the preview returns.
I use a MacPro with Geforce 7300 GT, 10.4.10 and Aperture 1.54.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

I have the same problem, I have two NVIDIA GeForce 7300GT on a new Mac Pro with Leopard and Aperture 1.5.6. When I have three monitors plugged in, Aperture does not display many pictures properly, on the alternate monitor it frequently comes up blank. On the main monitor, when I go to Full screen mode (press F), many photos look look completely corrupted. I figured out that the problem is a result of two video cards. I have the same problem when only using two monitors, if the monitors are plugged into different video cards. If the two monitors are plugged into the same card, it works fine (when their are only two monitors, not three).

Transparent background layer become black when publishing on iWeb

Dears,
I used Photoshop CS to create a pic without background. As usual I made my selection, copied it, paste it on a new file. Then a deleted the background layer (tried with or without merging/flattting the pic) and saved it in .jpg but also in .pgn
When dropping the picture in iWeb 2.0.2, everything looks great. The picture does not have a background.
But when published on .mac, the background becomes black.
I tried almost everything when formatting the pic, although the backgr remains black.
Just before I made the same with a wind turbine pic and it worked perfectly.
See on: http://web.mac.com/daniel.daplincourt/daniel.daplincourt/Vide.html
Can anyone help me plsss?
Thank you!
Daniel

I have the same problem with the black backroung on my photo. I saved it over has a png but it still has the black background when I publish it to .mac. I would match it to the background color of iweb but I have a textured background. Is there a step that I am missing when I save it out to a PNG. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Some times when I press the home button to read my finger the screen becomes black and it shows the Apple logo, this take a few seconds to get back the screen and this has been happening even 3 or 4 times in a row! What should I do?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

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.

Hi Martin
First of all its interesting if you have downloaded and installed all Toshiba Vista drivers which are released on the Toshiba European driver page?
All drivers must be installed in the right order!
If I'm not mistaken the Qosmio G30-126 belongs to the PQG32E series. It was delivered with HD DVD drive and therefore you should choose the drivers for Qosmio G30 HD DVD (PQG32E)!!!
Please check firstly the Installation Instructions txt file and then install all drivers like mentioned in this document.
Regarding the display issue;
You should install the right NVIDIA driver from the Toshiba page!!
The FN keys and control buttons dont work because the Toshiba Vista Value Added Package was not installed. This package contains different applications which are necessary to get all Toshiba functions running!
Good luck

- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

After iPhoto update some photos go black when trying to edit them and am unable to edit those photos

After iPhoto update some photos go black when trying to edit them and am unable to edit those photos. How do I fix this as this is the latest update?

If I hold down the Option key while launching iPhoto, I get the option to start a new library. Do I have to import all my thousands of photos into the new library?
In his original post the poster referenced the following. As to the new Library, see the end.

Why is the photo only black in Edit mode with iPhoto 11?

Why is the photo only Black in Edit mode?
Everything works fine, except when I try to edit a photo, it shows as only Black.
I have tried every fix talked about on this forum, and some others - nothing fixes it.
Is this a Feature ? or is it a bug that no one is interesteed in fixing? It doesn't fill me with confidence in Apple when I see such random little glitches remaining unfixed.

Is it the same for newly created slideshows? Although a long shot give this a try:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE 1: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
If the above fails as a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?
If it doesn't then the following my be your next step:
Starting over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Open the library package like this.
2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

Why does photoshop freeze every time I switch a photo to black and white?

Nobody can tell you anything without proper system and version info or other technical details, including what you actually mean by "switch to black and white".

Some .Photos are black in slideshow

I have made a slideshow out of some travel photos.
However, when I play the slideshow some of the photos appear black. They are in the group on the top. When I click on the photo for a preview it appears black. In the library they are fine. Only the title of the photo appears. Out of 23 photos in the show 6 appear black.
I hope there is an easy way to correct this. I am brand new to the IMAC G5.
Thanks for any help.

I used a workaround to make them appear again, something I discovered by accident - viewing the actual image file in the Finder (column view, where the last panel is a preview) seems to remind iPhoto where the file is, and it loads fine. The problem is, "Show File" doesn't work and you have to navigate down the folder to the year and roll manually.
Anyone else noticed that this seems to be happening only to files that show thumbnails on the icons? Even though I have Finder's icon preview turned off (other files use the normal Preview icon), the affected files have thumbnails on their icons. Next time I'll try turning that feature off in Photoshop.
