Photos are very dark. Can't differentiate shades of black

Hello
The photos, on my nano 3G, (even when set to max brightness) are very dark when it comes to shades of black. All detail is lost. Is anyone else encountering this problem? I believe certain iPod Touch have this problem. Any solutions?

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

TS3147 Photos print very dark on HP1025 LaserJet, and solutions?

Photos print very dark on HP1025 LaserJet color printer. I have installed and reinstalled software several times, both from CD and HP site.
Asides from going into PhotoShop and manually manipulating each color photo, is there something simpler to correct this problem?
I have read similar comments on other boards, and have not found a solution. Is this just the nature of the beast for the HP1025 for Mac?

What system and iPhoto versions are you running? What type of Mac do you have? Have you tried calibrating the screen in the System/Display/Color preference pane.
Does the print window for the HP have any of the options that are shown in this screenshot for Epson or Canon printers?
If it does you can change the color management and color matching and color management to see if you can get what you want. Once you do you can save the settings as a Preset like the R280 Color Glossy in the screenshot.

Photos are too dark

Hi! I finally decided to switch to Apple and purchased an iMac. I take a lot of photos and occasionally get paid for doing so. I used Photoshop on my old computer, so of course I purchased the Mac version. The problem I am having is that all my photos are too dark, too much contrast. They look 'normal' on my old PC. Any suggestions?
thanks in advance

What color profile do your photos have? If they have the Adobe RGB color profile that can cause them to be darker than the standard camera RGB, Apple RGB or sRGB IECD61966-1 profiles. It's even more evident when printing with inkjet printers.
You can calibrate your display via the System/Displays/Color preference pane or pick a standard color profile for the display that might lighten up what you see in the photos.

How can I send multiple pictures to the Kodak link (under file & then order prints)? if the photos are not sequential can it be done?

Does the order matter here?Because the photos will be sent for printing. If there is any other reason, can you please cite example.

HI guys
I need help.
I load the new iOS5 and I made an Backup and I load it too,but all my Photos are lost HOw can I get them Back ???
thx for help !!!!!

Which photos? If the missing photos were synced to the iPod then you have to get them from where you got them the first time. Synced photos are not in the backup that iTunes makes.

I have iMove 11 and photos turn very dark when I drag them into the project. Changing colour white balance does not fix the problem.

My printer -photosmart plus B210a prints but the photos are very very dark HELP please

I have a Hp photosmart plus B210a just trying to print out some photos and they are very very dark The photos themselves are light and of a high Dpi any suggestions anyone ??? please they are of my son's wedding so are very important to me

What program are you printing from? What operating system? What are the printer settings for paper type and quality?
If you are printing from a program that allows selection of CMYK or RGB printing then select the RGB setting. Even though the inks are CMYK the driver is expecting RGB data.

All photos displayed in Lightroom are very dark

This has just started in the last few days. Now all my imports into Lightroom 1.4.1 appear very dark compared to shots on camera display or same photo displayed outside Lightroom. This applies to dng, raw, or jpeg. Old libraries now all appear dark. If you adjust in Lightroom to look right they appear washed out in every image viewer outside Lightroom. Import a jpeg that was previously exported from Lightroom and looked fine now looks very dark when imported back into Lightroom. I have reinstalled program and tried every setting I could think of and all photos still look very dark.

Hope this fixes it. Deleting the default profile will make windows (and therefore Lightroom) assume your display is exactly sRGB. This is a good first approximation, but to get correct color you need to actually calibrate. Note that after calibration, Lightroom and unmanaged apps will not exactly correspond to each other, but they should be close. Most importantly, the contrast should be the same as long as you calibrate to the standard gamma of 2.2. You should see tiny differences in color saturation and in shadow colors - this is normal.

No matter what I do, e-mail photos are very small

I have iPhoto 6.0.6 and no matter how large I scan a photo, or how large it is in iPhoto, when I highlight the photo in my Library and then click e-mail, even at the largest setting the resultant attached photo is very small. I cannot seem to find any settings that will seemingly overide that.
Any thoughts?

having two places that you can do the same thing can be confusing

Did you use your latest backup to restore our information after you restored it "as new iphone"? If yes, try to set it up "as new iphone" without using the backup after that. Your backup may contain corrupt files causing your problem.
Set up as new device: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3828
Restore and set up as new
Launch iTunes and connect your device.
Select the device in the source list.
In the Summary tab, click the Restore button.
Wait until iTunes has completed the restore process. If you encounter any restore errors, please see Update and restore alert messages on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
When iTunes provides the Set Up Your iPhone/iPad/iPod touch screen, choose Set Up As New.Setting up your device as new will overwrite the current backup.

Contact photos are very small

I like tagging my contacts with their photos so that i can see who is calling but on the Nokia N97 mini, i find that the photo size displayed is very small - less than 10 mm by 10 mm. Would like to see the photo on the full screen. Is this a software issue or something I haven't set properly ?
Any help available ?

Ipod photoes were copied onto another ipod and orginal photos are gone now can i get them back?

okk so i have 2 ipod touches and i wanted both to have the same music and videos so i synced them both to one itunes. but then after i synced them both they were fine after i noticed that the ipos have the same photos. from the device. so now one ipods original photos are gone and only have the photos from the ipod that was synced first. is there any way to get the origional photos back the ones before the sync????

If the backup of the one iPod contains the photos just restore one iPod from that backup. Otherwise you are out of luck unless the PhtoStream contains the photos.

Synced photos are very slow to load

Hello,
I am having a very annoying problem with photos synced to my iPad 4g.
I sync my whole iPhoto library (more or less 6000 photos) to the iPad via iTunes. I have the latest iPhoto running on lion 10.7.3 and latest iTunes.
When I open the photos app on the iPad All events albums and faces load fine, but, as soon as I try to open a photo it opens it immediately at a very low res and it can take up to 1 minute to get to the high res version. This does not happen with photos originally taken with the iphone4, only with those taken with canon eos. Also, some camera roll photos (donwloaded from the internet, not taken with the internal camera) are affected. Even if I do a sideshow I notice the same lag between the low res and the high res (to the point that at times it changes to the following photo without switching to the high res version of the previous).
I tried to delete all photos from the ipad and re-sync and also re-syncing AFTER deleting the iPod photo cache in the iPhoto library. No change.
This used to happen also when I synced the same library with the iphone4 and not when syncing to an ipad2.
Has this happened to other people? I can't find anything on google. Any clue on how to fix this?
Thanks!

Help please!!! first ever mac. Photos are there but can't see them

Please help got mac last week and promptly put all photos into iphoto 8 also uploaded new photos from holiday which created a few events based on dates.
As we went with friends i created a new event and dragged the pictures involving them into the new event folder which i had named. Then i went to burn them to a disc and they all dissappeared, but they didn't really, all the thumbnails are white i have found them going through finder and search for the file name i can see the picture, well both because it has obviously copied them, and if i drag the new event out of iphoto the pictures appear but the folder doesn't drag to the desktop.
I really don't know what to do. I have tried a few of the various answers to similar posts but nothing is working, i really would like these photos as i was the only one who took a camera, and i think i said this is my first ever mac so just getting used to how different it is.

Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums and to the Mac
1 - the first rule is never, never, never mess with your iPhoto library using the finder or any program except iPhoto (or one that is fully iPhoto aware like iphoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ )
dragged the pictures involving them into the new event folder which i had named.
Did you do this in iPhoto or in the finder?
Have you tried rebuilding your iPhoto library - launch iPhoto while depressing the option (alt) and command (apple) keys and rebuild the library and thumbnails
