Photo imported into ID is not as black as surrounging black

Hello all.
Using CS5. In creating a document in ID, an image that has been done in Photoshop with strong black backgrounds is imported into ID using File > Place. In ID, there are two black panels on each side of the photo. On screen it looks fine (blacks match) but on printing, the black in the photo is not as black (more grayish) than the two side panels. Is there anything that could be done to enhance the black in the photo?
Thanks.

I don't believe I've ever seen a photo with a black background that wasn't added in Photoshop that had the same flat color throughout, so the odds of getting a perfect match all the way along all edges is practically nil.
You might want to consider removing the background in Photoshop and placing the photo in a frame with the black fill, or go with the flow a bit and use a colro that decidedly does not match so it doesn't look like you tried and failed. I'll often use a white (or some other contrasting color) line around the edge to break the two apart, too.
It's also very important that you set the prefernence for Appearance of Black to Display All Blacks Accurately or you have no idea what the really look like.

I have a large number of photos imported into iPhoto with the dates wrong. How can I adjust multiple photos (with varying dates) to the same, correct, date?

I have a large number of photos imported into iPhoto with the dates wrong. How can I adjust multiple photos (with varying dates) to the same, correct, date?

If I understand you correctly, when you enter a date in the Adjust Date and Time window, the picture does not update with the date you enter. If that is the case then something is wrong with iPhoto or your perhaps your library.
How large a date change are you putting in? iPhoto currently has an issue with date changes beyond about 60 years at a time. If the difference between the current date on the image and the date you are entering is beyond that range that may explain why this is not working.
If that is not the case:
Remove the following to the trash and restart the computer and try again:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.iphoto
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iPhoto (There may be more than one. Remove them all.)
---NOTE: to get to the "home > library" hold down option on the keyboard and click on "Go" > "Library" while in the Finder.
Let me know the results.

Solution to photo imports into IDVD

Much discussion months ago about the poor quality of photos imported into iMovie then exported to DVD. Software "Photo to Movie" by LQ Graphics that does a beautiful job of setting up your photos then render them to full quality QT. From there, import them to iDVD

The secret is space. iTunes seems to almost need the space of the photos BEFORE compression. Not only have I sometimes been unable to sync photos, but sometimes I can't sync all my photos.
Do this: hook up your iPhone, and go into Movies, if you have some, and delete 2 or 3 large movies. Don't worry, we'll put them back.
If you don't have movies, go into Apps, sort by Size, and delete several large apps until you have 2-3 GIGS of space. 2 Gigs will work for under 1000 photos, delete 3 Gigs if you have more.
Sync.
Now turn on the photos you want, sync again. (these may already have returned on the last sync)
Now go turn on your movies and apps, sync once more.
iTunes syncs the photos LAST, so I have had some albums disappear when my iphone was full, and I added a large movie or app.
It's all about space.

Error importing *.SCA file into NWDS: Import (into source SC) not possible

All,
When attempting to import an SCA into a new project in NWDS, an "Import (into source SC) not possible: SCA doesn't contain DC sources" occurs. Any assistance to fix this issue appreciated.
Thanks,
Lee

You can indeed import SCAs into local development configurations in NWDS (Eclipse). You have to have a pre-existing software component of the same name and vendor which may or may not be empty.
In the Development Infrastructure perspective in NWDS 7.1, just right-click on the software component you want to overwrite with the import and choose "Import".
To import SCAs into a CMS track in the NWDI, you have to go to http://<NWDI server>:5<nn instance no>00/devinf/ and import the SCAs from the transport inbox directory of the NWDI server. Don't forget to maintain the SLD if necessary.
Cheers,
Thorsten

Photos imported into wrong folder

When running an import and setting destination to import into subfolder organised by date (2011/2011-04-29) the ophotos taken late in the day do not go into the correct folder, they import into the next days folder. It appears the calculation used for the import does not take into acct regional settings.
Using lightroom 3.4 (also seen with 3.2 and 3.3)
Any ideas other than manually sorting all photos?
I notice that the Canon import software correctly sorts the photos, just have to use that then synchronise in lightroom, not good but at least till adobe fix the bug it will have to do.

Can you find out exactly how many hours difference there is ?
Do you have some AM/PM problem?
Are you shure your computer is in the right time-zone?
Daylight savings corrected ?

Putting photos etc into trash does not clear space on hard drive

When I move photos etc into the trash there is no increase in available space on the hard drive.

If you've installed third-party software called "Disk Drill," I suggest you remove it according to the developer's instructions. If you prefer to keep the software, refer to the developer for support. Otherwise, see below.
For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article. If the Storage display seems to be inaccurate, try rebuilding the Spotlight index.
Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then restart the computer. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation—not the mythical 10%, 15%, or any other percentage. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS or GP can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
Install the app you downloaded in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
sudo /Applications/GrandPerspective.app/Contents/MacOS/GrandPerspective
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Ignore any other messages that appear in the Terminal window.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal.

Clips imported into iMovie will not play: Please Help!

I have been working on a project in iMovie for awhile now and I have a few different clips imported into it. I have not had a problem with it before yesterday. I went to import another clip and for some reason I got error message "-43" that said it could not copy the files into iMovie. Then today when I opened iMovie to try again, all the clips that had been imported already were grayed out and a little yellow warning sign was in the bottom left hand corner of each clip display (yellow triangle with ! in the middle). They would not play.
It is not the clips though- they work fine when I open them in quicktime and iPhoto.
I don't know if this is ay significance, but this morning before the clips stopped working iMovie made new thumbnails- could this be any reason why it isn't working?
Can anyone help with this problem? I don't know what happened!

Photos import but video will not

I was able to import video and photo prior to loading leopard. iphoto recognizes my photo import automatically but for some reason it doesn't auto load my video into imovie when I connect to the PC. Is there something you have to do in leopard to make it work..a patch? I have a JVC everio but it shouldn't matter since it was working prior to Leopard. Any assistance is appreciated.

If the ipad doesn't see the video then it may be in a format the ipad doesn't like. Your choice may be to import it to your computer, then drag it into iTunes, which will convert it to a format the iPad likes, then sync it that way.
If iTunes still won't convert it right, mpegstreamclip, Format Factory (pc ony) and Handbrake will all convert video to mp4 or m4v that the ipad likes

RAW Photos from Canon EOS 7d imported into Aperture still not working...

I have just purchased a new macbook pro with the most current operating system and have updated Aperture 2 to the most current version and my Canon EOS 7d RAW files are still showing up with a red box message "Unsupported File Format"......WHY ISN'T IT WORKING?! I've been waiting for months for this to work and finally they say it will work with the update and it it doesn't. And I read about the "~" issue and I checked and don't have that condition in any of my folders. PLEASE HELP!

In addition to the above comments, make sure you have run "Software Update" (if you're new to the Mac, click the Apple icon in the upper-left corner then select "Sofwtare Update..." from the pull-down menu).
The EOS 7D, being rather new, requires that you have +Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 2.7+ installed. This is an update to Mac OS X (not an update to Aperture.)
If unsure, open "System Preferences" -> "Software Update" -> "Installed Software" and view the list of updates to ensure that you specifically have that update already installed.

Cropped photos -import into iMovie, but reverts to original

Anyone have this problem? Cropped photos in iPhoto and iView look fine in their own habitat, but when I import them into iMovie, they revert back to their original uncropped photo - frustrating since these are photos eliminating the letterbox, so there are black lines on two sides, so the cropping within iMovie does not work.
Thank you for any information!

Hi S. Katie - your problem with iPhoto is most likely because when you crop them in the iPhoto window you are not affecting the ORIGINAL photo, and it must be that original photo that iMovie recognises and imports.
So long as they are of good quality, you should be able to use the Ken Burns zoom function to 'crop' them even after they are already in your project.
To batch alter the duration of your stills, firstly select them, then make the adjustment in the Photos Pane and click 'Update'. Note, though, that transitions must be re-rendered (a note to that effect will appear on the screen).

Photos uploaded into iPhoto do not appear as available for upload in Safari

Hi
When using Safari 6.0.2 to post a photo, there is a lag before I can access recently uploaded photos into iPhoto 9.4.2.
Sometimes I need to close iphoto before the photos will appear as 'uploadable' by Safari. Other times, closing iPhoto does not initially help.
I don't recall this being an issue in the past.

If the Photos are under 'Last Import' or 'Last N Months' then they are in the Library somewhere, just not where you are expecting them to be. We know this as both Last Import and 'Last N Months' are not places, just listings of elements in the the Library.
The two most common reasons that they can't be found is either an incorrect date on the camera or the Sorting (View Menu -> Sort Photos - or Sort Events, as appropriate) has changed.
Quick route to find them: Right-click on one of the images in Last Import and select 'Show Event'. This will bring you to the image in the Library.

NEF format imports into iPhoto but not Photoshop??

Hello!
I'm currently using a Nikon D70S, shooting in RAW format. The .NEF files import just fine into iPhoto, but for some reason, if I try to edit them in Photoshop CS, it gives me this error message:
"Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document."
...Okay! I'm not sure why this is happening. I'm on the latest update of the OS and iPhoto. The only workaround I've found so far is that I can open each file up in Preview and then save it as a tiff. But for hundreds of photos... It's pretty cumbersome.
Any ideas on what might be going wrong? My .NEF files have opened in Photoshop CS a couple times, but I'm not sure why that was, and I wasn't paying too much attention to this issue until now when I need to edit a huge amount of photos at once. Help!
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5) 1.33GHz/1GB

If you are trying to open the RAW files, you will need to drag them from the iPhoto view pane into PSCS. Opening in external editor will send the OSX created JPEG to PS and that may not be what you want. Opening the RAW will also only work if you never edit the JPEG either within iPhoto or with an external editor. After that, the JPEG will always be used. When opening the RAW, you will need to save the file outside of iPhoto, convert it to JPEG, TIFF, or PSD format, and then re-import that version into iPhoto to keep it part of the library. Also, make sure your version Adobe Camera RAW (ACR) supports the D70S. Most updates are free and the D70S isn't that old and it's a different RAW format than the D70.
Hope this helped!

Incredibly slow photo import into iMovie 11

Can anyone tell me how to speed up the uploading of photos for a time lapse movie into iMovie 11? I am trying to upload 3232 8 meg pics, and so far it has been 14 hours. At the current upload rate, it looks like it will take about 18 hours total. This seems to me to be ridiculously long, but I can't seem to find a way to upload them any faster. As a recent convert to Mac, I am mostly impressed with my new iMac, but on this point it is like a drunken dinosaur. Any help appreciated, including any tips on any free program other than iMovie that I might use to speed up the process.
Dean

Matt- thanks for the response. To be honest, I was recording in whatever the default mode was. I did not realize there was a 60i vs a 60p. I will look into that.
As far as imports go- I have the camera hooked up to the usb port of my iMac and have iMovie running. I selected import from the camera and it brings up the window I described in my post. I also tried to just import movies- but got the same response.

LR Photo Import from Camera suddenly not working (5.7.1) - States "Some import operations were not imported becuase they could not be read." Works on another computer and 4.3 version of LR on same computer but not newly installed LR 5.7.1 cc 2014.

As above, all of a sudden, on one computer I cannot download from either the Canon 50D or 70D into LR 5.7.1. It will download on another computer as well as on this computer in an older version of LR (4.3). When I first turned on the computer this morning, I also got an error message that "The Lightroom catalog named 'Lightroom 5 Catalog" cannot be opened because another application already has it opened." It was a cold boot, so I am not sure what is happening.

For the second problem being that the catalog is open in another application, go to the folder containing your catalog. You will find a file with the .lock extension. This is a file created by the catalog, and is automatically deleted when the catalog closes normally. Sometimes it can get left behind. You need to delete that file.
When Lightroom says that the file cannot be read, it usually means that it cannot be written to the chosen destination. This tends to be a permissions problem in your operating system. Check to make sure you have write permission for the folder you are trying to import your images to.
