Photo not correct color when opened on one machine.

Photos are viewed correctly when I open them in MS Photo Editor. However, when I open them with Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 on my main computer (Windows XP)on my network, any photo that I open is much darker than the photo actually is.
If opened on any other network computer, the photo appears the same in Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 as it does in MS Photo Editor. It has not always been this way but has recently started doing this.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program and there is no change. How can I get the photo to display correctly on my main computer so that I can use all the wonderful tools that are in Photoshop 4.0? Right now I have to go to one of the other computers to do any work on them.
Any help would be appreciated.

In your color settings for PSE select 'Always optimize colors for computer screen', this will display your image in sRGB color space.
If this does not make any difference then maybe your image does not have a good color profile associated with it. Since PSE reads embedded color profile for image unlike a few other editors, set the color setting of the PSE to 'No Color Management'.
You can also try experimenting with different color profiles under Image -> Convert Color Profile, and see if it helps.

BAckup your iPhoto library, depress and hold the option and command keys while launching iPhoto until the first aid window comes up and repair permissions and if necessary rebuild your database

Thanks for the flag J.K. - they contaced me and solved my problem. On this account (which I created just to ask this question), I log in with my email rather than my user name (mtalldud). On the account that I was having trouble with, they told me to use my user ID instead of my email to log in and it worked. This is a bit confusing and seems a bit inconsistent but at least I don't need this temporary account any more to get into this community and find answers!

PDFs not displaying images when opened in Google Chrome.

My PDFs are not displaying images when opened in Chrome. They do display in other browsers and when saved to the desktop. I have tested on multiple machines. Is there a problem with how they are saved? Here is a test: http://www.omnils.com/userfiles/files/Brochures/KL-003_REV_0914_APEX_CR_SPEC_SHEET_lo.pdf

"... a known Chrome issue." The resolution lies with Google for this - nothing you can do (other than disable the "in house" browser add-on and enable Adobe's (if you have Reader or Acrobat installed)).
A similar issue exists with other, contemporary, browser releases.
The "fix" is these software houses to deploy PDF viewer browser add-ons that actually comply with ISO 32000.
Perhaps their lazy approach reflects the attitude of "Hey, Adobe will get the hit not us."
Provide your users a feed-back mechanism; you'd be able to respond with the suggestion that they ping on the appropriate software houses to provide adequate software.
Be well...

Your best bet is probably to start over by cleaning off the old software with the Adobe Cleaner tool:
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
Then reinstall from your original media, or download it here:

Using Color From One portion of a Photo to Correct Color in a Faded Area

I'm a complete noob with photoshop elements 10. The more I look on this forum and in help the more confuesd I get. Here's my problem.
I have an old photograph that has faded from expoesure to sunlight. After removing the photo from the frame there is about a 1/2" portion around the entire picture that isn't faded and has correct color. How do I tell Elements to use that area with the correct color as the basis for fixing the faded portion of the photo?

There's one trick you can try to automate the process somewhat:
Make a duplicate of your original photo, and do all the remaining stuff on that duplicate photo so your original photo is safe.
Open the duplicate photo in PSE.
Use the Rectangular Marquee tool to select the faded area.
Use Edit...Cut to place the faded area on the Clipboard.
Save the image with the remaining "frame" area.
Use File...New...Image from Clipboard to create a new image with only the faded portion, and save it.
Use File...New...PhotoMerge Style Match.
At the bottom of the StyleMatch editing screen, click on the "Project Bin" tab so you can select your opened file to use.
Adjust the settings to suit.
The Help has more info about Style Merge:

You'll probably still need to do quite a bit of hand work, but that might give you a good starting point.

Lightroom changes bright vivid photos into dull counterparts when opening them after an import

Everytime I import photos, Nikon RAW (NEF), the photos look as I want them at first, but as soon as I open a photo, Lightroom changes the photo to "dull" colors.
I have NOT set any import preferences of my own.
This is so annoying and I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.
The problem is most noticable for pictures with a nice blue sky, which is not nice after Lightroom has interfered !

What you’re doing wrong is expecting Lightroom to produce identical results to Nikon software, which it can never do, since Adobe and Nikon are independent companies with their own raw conversion that the other cannot know. In short, the Adobe Raw Engine in Lightroom and Photoshop is not the Nikon Raw Engine that is both in the camera and in the Nikon software.
What you are seeing is the camera produced preview image momentarily, and then Adobe’s rendering after LR has had time to compute it from the raw data.
If you don’t like how LR is doing things then figure out what settings you do like for your NEF files in LR and make them the LR defaults.
One suggestion is to use the Camera Standard profile instead of the Adobe Standard profile down in the Camera Calibration section.
Another thing that will cause confusion is if you have Auto D-Lighting (or whatever it’s called) turned on in the camera. This makes the camera try to correct bad exposures. Lightroom won’t know anything about how the camera is correcting the exposures so you’re left with Adobe’s uncorrected interpretation of the raw data which may look quite different.
Adobe also does not know anything about custom curves if you’ve loaded those.
If you want you might even try Auto toning in LR, which tells LR to try and correct for bad exposures. LR may or may not guess, right, though, so expect to do your own adjusting much of the time.

Individual fonts not recognized properly when opening a MAC FLA file on PC

I'm getting a missing font warning when opening an FLA file
even though I have all the necessary fonts. The problem is that
while I have MyriadPro-Bold, MyriadPro-BoldIt, MyriadPro-Semibold
on my machine, they only show up in Flash as the Typeface names of
Myriad Pro (first two), and Myriad Pro Light (last one).
I don't want to have to go through an entire file and apply
bold and italics to anywhere they exist, so I'm hoping there is a
way to map these properly. Adobe Type Manager shows all these fonts
properly when I open it, so I don't understand why Adobe's version
of Flash can only see the font family and not the individual fonts.
Hopefully someone out there has had the same problem and can
help me figure this out.

I know this thread is a bit old, but I wanted to share my experience and solution in case anyone else runs into this.
The other day, I spent many hours editing some photos for a client. I saved them all and closed Photoshop. When I tried to open the .PSDs, they all came up with this "Not a valid Photoshop document" error. I was freaking out. I could see the thunmbnails and previews with the MacOS Finder and could see the images just fine in Lightroom, but couldn't open them in Photoshop CC.
Finally, I remembered that these were NOT supposed to be .psd files! They were supposed to be TIFFs. What happened was, when I edited them from within Lightroom into Photoshop, they opened as TIFFs. However, when I did "save as", I wanted to name them similarly to some other files I had. I clicked on one of the existing files to copy the file name in the Save As dialog to make it easier to name the new file I was saving, but I didn't realize it was changing the file extention from ".tif" to ".psd" as well. The older MacOS (version 9 and earlier) didn't rely on file extensions fo identifying file types, so it didn't hit me right away that this would be the problem. When I changed the incorrect .psd file extension to .tiff, the files opened in Photoshop just fine.
SO... if you run into this "Not a valid Photoshop document" error, try figuring out if it's actually another file type (.jpg, .tif, .png, etc) by either getting the file info from another program or just experimenting with different file extensions. Chances are good that your file isn't actually corrupt, but just named improperly!

Keynote Bug: Object colors changing when opened on different machines

I'm collaborating on a series of presentations with two other people all using Keynote 3.0.1 and we have discovered that the colors of imported graphics are changing (slightly) when we send files to each other. The same files remain normal on the machine that created them, but once that file is sent to another machine (via ichat, either archived or not), small color shifts appear within imported graphics.
This makes matching an imported graphic to a background color a real pain as you can imagine. The shift is measurable with the color palette and is repeatable and consistent.
Has anyone witnessed this?

I used to. Are you using CMYK graphics? I think the problem's with the color space. Try using RGB graphics and see if that helps any.

Lightroom not showing anything when Open

I am running Lightroom 1.3 on OSX 10.5... When I open it it it does not crash but instead opens but nothing is there. The menu bar at the top is visible but nothing in the drop downs is usable. I have opened it in another user login and it works fine.
Any ideas?

make sure your iTunes is updated to the latest version

BME-00600: The UML Package ... could not be resolved - When opening diagram

Hi everybody,
when opening an existing activity diagram we are receiving the error below. The files are present on the filesystem. Other diagrams like database diagram could be opened with no problems.
We are using JDeveloper version 10.1.3.0.3 (Early Access / Win XP).
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Marcus Kresin

BME-00600: The UML Package cargo could not be resolved
Cause
The element may have been moved or deleted from the file system, or the Model path, source path or classpath may be incomplete. This error can also occur when the element was found, but errors in its definition prevented it from being loaded. Examine the error stack for further information on the exact cause.

Hi,
I am not sure how you got into that state; but you should be able to work around it my creating the missing packages in the navigator. Simply go to New -> Gallery -> General -> UML -> Package. Once in place the diagram should now open.
Thanks,
Gerard

Yesterday I updated my mac software and now my ilustrator cs6 does not save files nor open old ones

I was working just fine with my desktop imac and it said there were som software updates available so I click on it.
Now my ilustrator Cs6 does not save files nor open them, the finder is behaving strangely or crushing...somebody asked me if I have downloades a font recently, yes I have.im in the middle of an important job and dont know wht to do

Moving this discussion to the Illustrator forum.

TS5174 We have iPhotos in a shared folder. When my partner tries to view some photos(not all) they flash open, then disappear. This doesn't happen when I log in and open them. Any ideas would be welcome. Thanks.

We have iPhotos in a shared folder so both my pertner and I can access the pictures.
Recently, when my partner tries to open some of the more recent pictures, they open briefly, then disappear. This doesn't happen with all of them, and there doesn't seem to be any link between those that do, and those that don't.
When I try to open them, they open with no problem, and remain open until I close them.
Has anyone any solutions, please?
Thanks.

A shared folder is not sufficient to share an iPhoto library. When you open the library from your account, the ownership and permissions of library items changes.
The safest way to share a library is to put it onto a separate disk or disk partition with the "Ignore Ownership on this volume" flag set. See this document on how to achieve this:

Document not showing properly when opening in Acrobat 9 Pro

When I create a document in InDesign and export it as a PDF, I want to see what it looks like as the PDF. One of the documents that I opened does not look as it should. It only has the photo on the ad but is missing the red background and the words on the ad. As a thumbnail, it looks correct. But, it is not showing up correctly when I open it in Acrobat. Some of the other ads are fine but this one in particular is not showing me all the elements. What do I do to fix this?

Yes, I have the most current version of AA9. I exported the document from InDesign using the PDF exporter. That is what I have used for years and it has worked fine. I just installed CS4 yesterday.
I think I realized what the problem is but I don't know how to fix it properly. I actually went back to the preferences in AA9 to the document color options in accessibility and changed it back to its original state (which, I believe, is where nothing is checked). I had originally changed it because I was trying to experiment with the background of the program. It's black and when I open a PDF, I can't see the black border. But I mistakenly changed the document color. Which brings me to the question of: how do you change the background color of the page so that I can see the black border on the document? I sell advertising so I need to be sure that when people send me their ads, they have black borders. And I can't tell when it has the background behind the document so dark. Acrobat Reader has a white background.
Additionally, can I still install the latest Acrobat Reader and use that instead of AA9 if I want to? It seems easier.
