Photo Booth: Have lost picture settings, i.e. color, black and white, etc.

I have somehow lost the ability to choose what type of picture I want. The selections have always seemed as if they were chosen by a not very bright child, but there were at least three settings that were practical and useful. Now I only have black and white. My guess is that the problem is similar to when you sometimes lose the menu bar. The question is, how do I get my different settings back?

Hello Niku,
Here are some things you can try.
(1) Does the problem go away if you quit and relaunch
Photo Booth?
(2) Does the problem go away if you restart your
Mac?
(3) Does the problem go away after you perform the
routine maintenance operations?
( "Routine maintenance" means items a) , b) , and c) from
Travis A.- kmosx: Regular Maintenance / General
Troubleshooting)
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?thr
eadID=196761
(4) If none of the above fix your problem, try
Travis's item d)
using the following specifics:• Quit
Photo Booth if it is running.
• Delete your
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.PhotoBooth.plist
file.
( " ~ " means Your home folder )
• Close all windows and relaunch Photo Booth.
• Check to see if all effects are available again.
• If yes, reset your preferences if you like.
• Quit Photo Booth when you are finished making
pictures.Please let us know how it
goes.
Cheers,
Jim
Apparently, it fixed itself. This morning it's back in full operating condition. Thanks for your suggestions , though.

How do you add a colored picture on top of a black and white picture with out it turning black and white too?

I am making grad invites and i keep trying to add a colored picture on top of the black and white background picture and it keeps changing the colored one black and white i am using Photoshop CC 2014! any help is greatly appreciated! I cant figure this one out!

What is the file type? Is it a file that supports layers? Is the color photo in its own layer?
Please post a screenshot of the layers panel.

I have a canon rebel T5i and all my functions not work, like black and white etc.

Haven't used the camera for about 5 weeks and now I'm on vacation and my functions don't work. First I thought it was just the black and white function but I have tried them all. I can take the picture but it doesn't save it. I saves all other pictures I take without using one of the functions. Please help

This is purely a guess (I have a different camera model and I don't use those functions... for I simply convert color images to black and white in post processing.)...
If the camera has been sitting for a while, the battery might be down. It may take several discharge/recharge cycles to bring it up to full power and performance. I have seen some odd behavior from my cameras at times when they sat for a long time, that seemed to be related to low battery charge (or to a loosened battery grip, which I use on all my cameras). A fresh battery and/or removing, cleaning the battery to camera and/or battery grip to camera contacts resolved the weird glitches. To clean the contacts, I recommend simply wiping them with a clean, lint free rag lightly dampened with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol. Pre-moistened computer monitor/keyboard wipes seem to work pretty well, too.

After some troubleshooting, I decided to order a new battery. I replaced the battery and was then able to get it to restore, however--after I restore it and it comes time to restart the phone, it gets stuck and doesn't turn on.
Sorry, your repair ruined the iPhone.
She does not have apple care and even though she loved this device, she isn't going to buy another iPhone because of all the problems shes had with this one (it's just over a year old).
After you ruined the iPhone with DIY, Apple won't touch it anymore. You should have asked before all these had happened.
I'm an android user myself and I love rooting/flashing new ROMS, so if jailbreaking her phone or doing some kind of super-restore with 3rd party programs might help, I'm all for it-
Yeah, all Android user can think of is Jailbreaking, read this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3743

Best scanner settings for black and white text only

I need to scan a lot of older text documents, I have a DRG 1100 scanner. what are the best settings for text only black and white, thanks

"How about under "Default Settings"? Is there a option for B&W printing?"
No there isn't.

HT204135 This is my first iMac. How come everything I print is in black and white? I have an HP Photosmart and it prints in color just fine except when I print using the iMac.

Unlike my other computers where I can change the printer setup ( color, black and white, paper type etc) I don't see that option on the iMac. Is it called somethng else? I want to retire my old computer but can't until I can print in color.

Thank you, I did that, after I click "show details" I see where I can change the paper size, reverse print etc. but I'm not seeing an option to swtich to color. On my HP and IBM PC's I can click on printer properties and change the print quality, paper type ( e.g.photo), grayscale and such. Do you by chance know if this is not an available feature on iMacs or maybe my printer isn't iMac friendly?

Reprinting black and white photos

I'm using an HP Photosmart Premium C309g All-in-One Printer. When I reprinted an old black and white photo, it came out perfect. However, on subsequent black and white reprints, some photos had orange tints and others had purplish tints. Is there a way of correcting this problem.
This question was solved.

Sounds like your ink is running out.

Black and white photo shows up as a colour photo in iPhoto

Hi all,
Can someone please solve this mystery for me?
I took a black and white photo with my Nikon D40. It appears as black and white when I play it back in the camera.
When I transferred this black and white photo, along with other colour photos, to iPhoto, it showed up as a colour photo on my computer.
Why is this?
Thanks for any insight...

Lutetia
You didn't take a black and white photograph. Your D40 can't take a black and white photo, it can only take full colour. To make the photo look black and white the D40 set a flag on the file. This flag is an instruction: display me a certain way. iPhoto is not aware of the flag and so shows you the full colour pic.
Regards
TD

I have lost pictures in iPhoto, but I can see them in the data folder, except they are only thumbnail size. They will not open at regular size and are showing unreadable in the "originals" folder. I've rebuilt and nothing is restoring these pics.

I have lost pictures in my iPhoto. We moved my iPhoto to a external hard drive and I believe since then, I have random pics missing. Some pics will show up in the "photos" and some show with a title and a blank picture. When I click on "package contents" in iPhoto, I have found the "Originals" folder where all the pics are pulling from and the file is there but won't open. However, in the DataXML folder under package contents, I can open the file but it is much smaller (supposed to be 1 MG, but showing in the data folder as 63kb). How can I get these pics restored in the Originals folder? I've rebuilt the library several times and I just ran the iPhoto Library Manager and it won't pull from the data file. Help!!

Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

You might want to download something called an undelete utility. These can find files and recover them even after they appear to have been lost. There are some undelete utility programs that are free. Look at tucows.com
Also, it appears that you have POSSIBLY overwritten the actual files, which you moved manually, with I don't know what, which you moved in PSE's folder location view.
Next, in the future ... NEVER (that's: don't even think about it) move your photos in Windows. NEVER. NEVER. Not ever. Not once. This always (that's ALWAYS, as in 100% of the time) causes problems and usually makes things difficult to fix.
Lastly ... make regular backups! I must say this in the forums about seventy bazillion times a month. Make regular backups! Regular depends on how often you take photographs and edit them. Since my photographic activity usually happens on the weekends, I make backups every Sunday night. You may need a different schedule, depending on your activity level. MAKE REGULAR BACKUPS!

Photo Booth single shoot picture

Hi,
when I try to take a single shoot picture with photo booth, it doesn´t appear in the bottom bar and I have to quit the app and open to try again. The video doesn´t work neither (start the countdown but don´t record). The 4 shoots picture it´s the only one that works properly.
Any suggestion?
Thank ypu for the help

Unfortunately, I don't have an answer. Just want to let you know I am facing the very same problem. No matter what I do my user picture just doesn't change.
In addition to that, my "recent pictures" is always empty.
No clue on why is this happening.

Is there a way to color one thing in a black and white photo. Example: I have a picture of a tulip field and I want to make it black and white - which I have already done - but I want to make one single tulip red. Help?

No, you'll need an external editor for the job:
In order of price here are some suggestions:
Seashore (free)
The Gimp (free)
Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
Acorn ($50 approx)
Pixelmator ($50 approx)
Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate. You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

Hello
Lost mind last week. Remembered a post: impossable to delete this app and one should look in all the folders on the home pages.
Found it in a news folder. So have a look in all of your folders. Hope you haven't to many

Help, I have just restored my iphone from last back up to retrieve vital messages that somehow disappeared. Now I have lost the most recent messages, calendar details and photos. How do I get them back?

You restore from the backup that contained them.
Restoring from a backup is all or nothing. It completely overwrites the data in the phone when you restore. You can not combine the contents of a backup with what's currently on your phone.
