Photos are dark and cannot be used in slideshow mode.  Also cannot move photos in a sequence.  Also photos will not move from grid to add to another collection.

Lightroom 4, photos are dark when in slideshow mode.  Therefore, cannot create a slideshow.  Cannot move photos from grid to add to another collection.  Also cannot change sequence of photos.  Have searched multiple  times for troubleshooting help online with no resolution available.

Just to clarify my problem with the "dark photos"....when in slideshow mode, photos are dark and state "no photo selected"  I've created multiple slideshows and this was never an issue.  Just downloaded updates as well for Lightroom 4 and this didn't seem to help either.

  • How can I know which photos are in the library was used in each album I have created before.

    How can I know which photos are in the library was used in each album I have created before?
    I have many photos in the library folder of iPhoto, but actually I don't know which photos were used in my album.
    Is there any method to find this?
    Thanks.

    Album or Book?
    If Album you can find the ones not already used:
    File -> New Smart Album
    Album -> is not -> Any

  • The latest answer from you to me is that my photos are safe and that I should look in a default folder. I have tried to do this but cannot find it.  How do I find the default folder.

    I received your emai stating that my photos are safe and are present in the folder on your computer that you specified when importing them. If you used Photoshop Album Starter Edition to import your files from the camera without changing the default folder, look in this folder.  I have tried looking in the default folder and there is nothing there to help. Some of these photos were scanned in from my Cannon Printer.  Surely if Adobe are requesting me to register and telling me they will send me a code no. that is all that needs to be done.

    Your advise please?
    I'm so sorry, but in today's world, the support of low cost products through personal contact has become very uncommon.  It simply does not pay to sell a product for $50 or $100 and then pay people to sit in cubicles to talk on the phone that may cost $50 or $100 an hour. 
    That said, I'll try to help for free! 
    CS5, CS5.5 and CS6 are products from the past that, as far as I know are not being updated or maintained.  Adobe has replaced them with the "Creative Cloud" or "CC".  So, if you want a current version of "Premier CC", you "rent" it for $20 a month.  For $50 a month, you can rent everything Adobe makes for photogrphers, videographers, designers and graphic artists.
    If "upgrade" means "get a cheaper price", no. 
    The easiest way to buy the DVD version of Elements 13 is to order it from a major retailer like B&H Photo or Amazon.  I've checked and both have it.   The cheapest way to buy it is to wait for holiday season pricing. 

  • I took some videos using my iPhone 5c and uploaded them to my computer.  I can play the videos in iPhoto, but when I open them in QuickTime, they are dark and silent.  Why can't I see them in QuickTime?

    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.

  • LR3: Exports are dark and over-saturated

    ... or: LR3 shows everything dull and to light...
    I've upload an image and described my problem her:
    http://www.flickr.com/photos/tcdk/4753052290/
    But here it is:
    I'm having some color and curve problems with my exports, it all looks to dark and to saturated when I export from Lightroom 3. So I'm trying to figure out what's happening.
    Here's the setup:
    Windows XP
    Nvidia 8600GT graphics card
    One Dell 2407WFPHC screen
    One Dell 2408WFP screen (my main)
    Huey Pro color calibration kit (software version 1.51)
    Everything calibrated. It looks good to me when I import in lightroom (from raw from Pentax K20D, and Panasonic LX3)
    Exporting to jpeg (sRGB) or tiff and viewing in anything else the colors are darker and over-saturated (tried in firefox (profile aware), Internet Explorer, irfanview and chrome). Loading the jpeg into Lightroom and comparing it to the RAW, they look the same (not dark or over-saturated).
    What you see above is a screen grab, of a test chart viewed in Lightroom and IrfanView. They where just imported/loaded - nothing was done. No development settings are applied as part of my LR3 import.
    The colors in lightroom 3 are dull compared to the IrfanView.
    Sample rgb values:
    1 red:
    Lightroom 224,52,27 (not that pure)
    Irfanview 254,0,0 (~pure red)
    4 purple:
    Lightroom: 124,1,251
    irfanview:  131,0,254
    9 green:
    lightroom: 126,255,54 (far from pure green)
    irfanview: 0,255,3 (pure green)
    The red and the green are the worst - a lot more "energy" in them. So imagine the reverse process. I've a photo in Lightroom and it looks good to me. I export it and every 126,255,54 gets made into pure green. Darker and over-saturated!
    I've no idea what's happning or what to do about it. I've tried everything I can think about.
    I don't really think I had this issue with LR2 - not enough to notice anyway.
    System info:
    Lightroom version: 3.0 [677000]

    So in my case it seems I'm better off running uncalibrated as that seems to produce something more natural across the board than when I use calibration and it goes between extremes, fine or totally wrong... I can see the images fine on my controlled environment but if you're distributing online then things don't work out at all!
    This is a very common misconception. Needless to say it is wrong. the only way you can get reasonable colors on everybody else's monitors is to calibrate your display and only trust color managed apps. If you don't calibrate and don't use color managed apps, your output will basically be completely random. At least with calibration and management you will be targeting the standard (sRGB) that most monitors cluster around (that's what they were designed to), so while individual monitors will be more or less random, on average they will show what you intended. If you don't calibrate and manage you will target only your specific monitor. Since this is a wide gamut display, the average viewer (who doesn't calibrate nor color manage) will see a dull desaturated image with respect to what you see.
    Bottom line: If you use a wide gamut monitor, calibrate and only trust color managed apps. If you have a normal gamut monitor, calibrate and trust color managed apps the most, but non managed apps will be OK if you use sRGB as your export space. You cannot do away with the calibration step if you care about what others will see.

  • Epson R300 prints photos very dark and oversaturated

    My Epson R300 recently began printing photos much darker and heavily saturated relative to what I see on my monitor. It seems to print ok directly from a CompactFlash. Photos I printed in the past no longer print good. I tried different programs (iPhoto and Photoshop) and print settings. I replaced all cartridges and reset the driver using Print Setup Utility. Any idea what I can try? Thanks.

    Have you checked that the ColorSync profiles are OK,
    and have not been changed? Use the ColorSync Utility
    to check them.
    This appears to be a printer problem and not a setup issue. The printer worked good for nearly 2 years. The color isn't just a little off. All colors are very dark like too much ink is being delivered to the paper.
    There is a definite red cast to whites in photos. Printing directly from a CF card (bypassing my computer) shows the same problem. I deleted and reinstalled the drivers. Tried all of the various settings. With/without Colorsync, printer color vs photoshop color. Tried iPhoto vs Preview vs Photoshop. Epson Print vs Gimp Print. Replaced all cartiridges. Used different paper types (Glossy Photo, Matte). Very frustrating!
    Is 2 years the lifetime of an inkjet printer?

    My husband and I are divorcing and we have used his apple ID for our 2 apple tv's.  He changed his password and now I no longer have access to the 300 or more movies, tv shows and music.   He keeps telling me that , there is no way for us both to have it. So, since his Apple ID was the one programmed into our Apple TV's he has custody to everything.  I know there has to be a solution for this, because I can't be the be the only person this has ever happened too!

    If you want to use the "newest updated whatever available." then you would have to buy the newest hardware that supports that. iPad 2 is not the newest hardware available and it can't/does not support siri.

  • Trying to import photos and copy as DNG. Nothing will upload though. Permissions are all accurate, saving to the right profile, etc. Nothing has changed on my computer but it will not let me import new pictures. Also, updated the software and some images

    trying to import photos and copy as DNG. Nothing will upload though. Permissions are all accurate, saving to the right profile, etc. Nothing has changed on my computer but it will not let me import new pictures. Also, updated the software and some images say "preview cannot be seen" and some don't. And when I try to import and I hit "new photos" it's all the photos on my card. My brain is about to explode.

    It said something similar where the thumbnails were supposed to be.
    Just got the newest edition of LR, 4.4
    4.4 is not the newest edition of LR
    We don't want to know that it said "something similar", we want to know the exact wording. In fact, you ought to state the exact problem you are having, in detail, instead of saying you are having the same problem.

    Hello,
    There are some Microsoft product like Windows Phone 7 Connector on the Mac App Store but for the moment Office is not there.
    In an interview last year Microsoft’s Amanda Lefebvre told Mobilized : “It’s something we are looking at”.

    If you have applications like iWork or the free OpenOffice (http://www.openoffice.org/) you will be able to read files created by Microsoft Office.
