Photo close-ups get wider

I use online and local photo services for 4X6 prints of photos. I have used several and find they produce prints with varying quality of light/dark, saturation, hue, and amount of cropping. Each time a set comes back, I check each print with what I see on my monitor. One effect I have noticed recently from the last two photo services is that a close-up of a face is wider on the print than on my monitor. I am puzzled. I checked back looking at some photos printed by Sony Image Station and discovered that they crop less than the other services and the resulting photos are less distorted. Unfortunately, Sony Image Station is going out of business. Local services I use are Meijer stores and CVS. The latest online service I tried is York.
I have a 2-year old Dell Dimension 4700, 1905FP Ultrasharp Digital Flat Panel Display. I calibrate the monitor once a month with an EYE ONE gadget that I purchased dirt cheap some time ago when a new model came out. My color preferences are "no color management". My photos are exactly 4X6 as indicated in PE editor, Image|resize|Image. It almost seems as if the printer crops the photo and then stretches it back out to 4X6. Does that make sense? Has anyone else noticed this? Or is my monitor at fault?

Eva,
I have noticed the same thing, using the Kodak machine in CVS. They definitely crop; I suppose that is how they automate a borderless print rendition. I became aware of this a couple of years ago when I added text to the bottom right of a picture for the purpose of documentation. The print from the machine came out without the text.
Recently I sized a 4x6 to 4.2x6.2 in Image>resize>image size, thereby allowing the machine some freedom to crop non-critical portions in the periphery. I did not notice any distortion with this technique, although I went to a very recently opened CVS which has a new generation machine with enhanced features.
Let us know how you make out, so that we may benefit from your subsequent experience.

What OS version? What's the exact error? Exactly when does the error occur? What previous versions? What is on the screen when the error displays? Does Photoshop get fully open?
Try opening Photoshop holding down Shift key immediately to turn off plug-ins. Lots of good suggestions here: Photoshop: Basic Troubleshooting steps to fix most issues

Add a face in portrait close ups

Hi, I've got a problem with faces.
I've found that in portrait photos the "Add a face" function is not well working: if I add a big face tag, especially in close ups of faces where the face tag is occupying 75-85 % of the photo, the face tag resizes or disappears when I view the photo a second time.
How can I solve this?
Thank you very much.

Never mind, I found the answer. Click the Info button and the add faces plus symbol appears. Click that and position the circle over the face and name. Do that as many times as you have faces to identify.

Printing photos on HP 4500 using 8.1 photos 4X6 have a wide margin on right side..

When I got a new computer that uses WIndows 8.1 I set it up to my HP 4500. Now when printing photos 4X6 I get a wide margin on right side. When I send the photo out to print to Costco it comes out fine. Have tried to change all settings and nothing has worked. It prints fine with MAC and other Widows versions. I have downloaded new driver and tried resetting margins. Do you have a fix for this issue

Hello @AngelJL,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that since installing your HP 4500 on your Windows 8.1 computer you have not been able to successfully print 4x6 photos. I would like to assist you today with resolving this issue. However, before I am able to provide accurate troubleshooting steps I do need to confirm a couple of things.
1) What HP 4500 printer do you have?
HP manufacturers several 4500 series products: Laserjet, Designjet, Officejet, Envy, etc. All products will require different troubleshooting steps to resolve printing issues.
What's my Model Number?
2) What program are you printing photos from?
3) Have you tried printing photos from different programs on your Windows 8.1 computer to see if the margins issue is specific to one program or multiple programs?
Once I have the answers to the questions above I will be more than happy to guide you towards a solution. I look forward to hearing from you!

but the photo is not getting reflected in the adobe forms .
and also i have tried the url method but it doesnt work .
please help me out .

First, have you set a breakpoint in this code and made sure that you are getting data into lt_image_bin? That would seem to be the first place to start.
Then the question is how are you trying to pass the image into the Adobe Form? Are you passing an XSTRING context attribute into the form interface? Have you marked that part of the interface as an image? Are you setting the MIME Type parameter of the form interface as well. You really haven't posted any details about what you are doing on the Adobe Form side.

I have iPhoto 08 and have been happy with it. Don't want to upgrade. But suddenly, when I click on an event, instead of all the photos, I just get one- enlarged- and cannot move to the next one. The photo just jumps up or down. How to solve?

I have posted "submit" twice and keep getting requests to submit again. Now being asked to write a summary! Here we go. I have iPhoto 08 and am happy with it. Don't want to upgrade. But suddenly when I click on an event, instead of getting all the photos, I just get a large version of one photo and cannot move on to the others. The right arrow will not move it and the photo just jumps around.

Note the slider bottom right of the iPhoto Window. Drag it left.

Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - Run Option #1, Repair Permissions.

I try to open I photo and I get the message, your iPhoto library is damaged...please restore from backup. But i din't made backup copy. How can i delete previous library and work wrom the new one?

I try to open I photo and I get the message, your iPhoto library is damaged...please restore from backup. But i din't made backup copy. How can i delete previous library and work wrom the new one?

Try this (assuming you're using iPhoto 12): make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: 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 the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
Select options #1, #2 and #6.
Fix #3
Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
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.

Hi turingtest2 (you pass, BTW): Thanks for the speedy reply. MobileMe doesn't appear in the list of programs which can be uninstalled.

When importing images into LR5 on my laptop, the photos all have a wide yellow streak through them. This only happens on the laptop; I can import the images onto my desktop LR and there isn't the streak of colour. Can someone help?

When importing images into LR5 on my laptop, the photos all have a wide yellow streak through them. This only happens on the laptop; I can import the images onto my desktop LR and there isn't the streak of colour. Can someone help?
This is happening even with photos that were taken on another camera, not just mine. My daughter told me that the laptop recently fell. The yellow streak is not anywhere else on the laptop, just on the photos in LR.

I have had this problem on my desktop. I have been attempting to reproduce it where it can be debugged. Here are some observations/facts in my environment--no conclusions:
1. I do not import from camera or memory stick directly into LR. I copy all images (using Explorer) from camera to two different locations (backup location first); and then my working area. In both cases, after files are copied I mark them Read-only.
2. Poor observation, but in any event: the issue has only occurred when I do a large number of images. Its a poor observation as I have no exact number. I suspect when I do less than 50 always works well every time. However, I have also done some very large imports without issue.
3. Error only occurs with my RAW images--for me that's NEF. I have multiple cameras--those that only capture jpg images have never had an issue in LR.
4. Even if the file is marked Read Only issues can still occur. I then remove the image from the disk using LR -- and then manually (Explorer) copy in my backup image -- re import again and all is well. I think one time I exited LR and replaced the bad file with a backup and restarted LR and all was well again.
5. When it occurs I have performed a HASH value on the broken file and on the backed up file to determine if the file contents has changed--and each time the file contents has changed.
6. I have had this occur immediately after import, but most often it occurs like this... import large number of images; Make changes in Development Module on random image, export jpg of changes--exit LR. Open up LR and file is corrupted.
7. I have had this issue on multiple USB drives ( okay just 2 different drives have been tested ).
What next--fire up Process Monitor and monitor the system (specifically LR) to see if it reports any file open for write access when this occurs. So, far I have not had process monitor actually running when it occurs--one of these days.

How to access iPhone "Photo Library" to get image file properties?

I want to access iPhone "Photo Library" to get image file properties(name, list etc..) without dialog.
Is there any suitable method/class to this?

Allan,
Thank you for your reply!
My purpose is access to "Photo Library" by iPhone API.
Because, I know several iPhone application which has own image list and the list is synced to "Photo Library".
If I take photo by iPhone native camera, the taken photo is listed up on the image list so I guess those applications can access to "Photo Library" directly.
Or.. any other solution..?

Need help - can't import some photos into iPhoto - getting error msg

I have a lot of photos on my computer. Most of them are in my iPhoto, but I can't seem to load all of the photos in there and integrate them al. I am getting an error message. The jist of the message is that they are unreadable and that they cannot be imported. The photos are jpegs. I am kind of at a loss as to why these photos are not getting imported.
Does it have anything to do with where the photos were taken from? What I mean is that when I have current photos on the camera, they will go directly to iPhoto. What about the ones that are copied to my hard drive from another computer? Those I can't seem to integrate into my library. An suggestions? Thanks.

whatsupdut?
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Are these troublesome files in the iPhoto Library Folder? Are you putting files in there hoping to see them in iPhoto?
iPhoto is a database, the images have to be imported (File -> Add to Library) before they can be seen. Also, as a precaution against duplication, iPhoto will not import pics from the iPhoto Library Folder, so move them out to the desktop and then import them.
Regards

Photo won't get started

photo won't get started after installing the new update (wheel spinning under the get started button)

Steven:
Try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that is in your User/Library/Preferences folder. Also download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, putting your administrator login name, long or short, in the owner and group sections. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.
How many iPhoto Library folders do you have in the Pictures folder? if more than one find out which contains your photos and move the other(s) to the Desktop.
Now launch iPhoto with the Option depressed and, when asked, opt to locate an existing library. Navigate to the iPhoto Library folder remaining in the Pictures folder and select it. It should open.
