Photos Black Out After Editing

I have a Nikon Coolpix S3100. When I load upload photos from this camera into iPhoto '09, either onto our iMac (Leopard 10.5.8) or Macbook (Snow Leopard 10.6.8) all is well until I edit them. As soon as I adjust any colour settings or crop the photo, next time I open the photo, all I get is a black screen. If I revert the photo to original, it opens fine. One complicating feature of this problem is that it doesn't happen every upload. And when it does happen, not all of the photos in the same upload will have the problem. Some photos will be fine. The problem occurs whether I upload the photos directly from the camera or from a card reader.
The store I bought the camera from suggested that it's an iPhoto problem. However we have never experienced this problem with two other cameras we have and continue to use in this household, but the Nikon has done it from Day 1. Nikon tell me that there are no known compatibility issues between this model camera and this version of iPhoto, and suggest that to overcome this problem I use the photo software supplied with the camera instead of iPhoto. However for a number of reasons we want to use iPhoto.
Wondering if anyone knows the cause of this.

Original Images are all in color. When Working in the editor, they appear to be ok. Then, when I escape back to the event, the image appears but the size immediately goes from the original to zero. When I go back to the editor, the image becomes all black and only reappears intact when I choose "revert to original". Bottom line appears to be that I will have to upgrade my system. Oh well.

Nikon Coolpix vs. iPhoto: Photos Black Out After Editing

Photos imported from Nikon Coolpix retain image but show 0 MB once they are edited in iPhoto. This happens more often than not, and there appears to be no consistency as to why and when it happens. This does not happen with other cameras I use, and appears to be independent of the memory card used.
I'm less concerned as to *why* it happens and more concerned to find a solution to the problem.

Can layers be used to further edit a photo in Elements after editing in LR? [was:Tacoma Grandma]

Is there a way to use layers to further edit a photo in Elements after editing in Lightroom?

The "Edit In" option of Lightroom is the usual way. This creates a new image that PS / Elements can work with. The starting image and the new image (showing the results of your editing, once those are saved) both then appear in Lightroom.
Exporting does not pair up LR and Elements (or other image editing program) in quite the same easy and transparent way.
As to the Layers query: probably the most usual format chosen for external editing is TIFF, but PSD is also used. Both preserve any layers intact when saved (unlike JPG) allowing returning to a layered file for further editing in the future. These editing files include a further fullsize preview, if layered (this is unnecessary for a flattened file, in which case LR can just read that Background layer directly).
The preview is a losslessly compressed full colour bitmap, updated at each time of saving, representing the then-current combined appearance of the "layer stack" as seen within Elements.
Lightroom cannot understand about whatever pixel and adjustment layers, layer interactions and effects etc the file may contain - but it doesn't need to, because it can look at the "compatibility" preview instead.

Blacks out after playing video

My ipod blacked out after playing a video I downloaded from Itunes music store. Not responding, does anyone know how to solve this?

There is no screen event triggered when the video finishes playing that you can use to jump to the next slide or unhide a button to enable the user to navigate forward at a time of their own choosing.
If you know the duration of the video, you can place a navigation button on the timeline at that point so that it appears just after the video finishes playing. However, you may find that on different PCs with different system specs the video may take slightly more or less time to play.

Screen blacks out after a few seconds and won't return to normal state.

I have the 30 gig ipod photo that i got about a year and a half ago. Whenever I look at the screen to access music or anything, the screen blacks out like there's a screensaver or something and won't return back to normal. Even after I reset it, it stays normal for a few seconds and then blacks out again. The backlighting still works so it's just a bright black screen and I have function of the click wheel because it clicks everytime I move up or down. I already tried restoring it so I am all out of options. Anyone PLEASE HELP!!! Thanks
Steve

This happens rarely but consistently! I't seems to happen about 5% of the time waking from sleep. It MAY be more prone to happen if I had been moving with it in my bag, but it can happen at any waking time after any duration of sleep.

27 inch thunderbolt display blacks out after Thunderbolt Firmware Update 1.2

Bought 2 new 27 inch TB displays for two different machines and after a couple of days the Thunderbolt Firmware Update 1.2 appears on my Mac Pro with one of the displays installed. So I install the firmware update. Now my display blacks out periodically and I keep getting Graphic Display Errors with a request to sent the errors to Apple. Running a 32 GB Mac Pro (late 2013 circular style) I have three monitors connected (two 20 inch cinema displays and the new 27 inch display). This machine is supposed to be able to handle three 4k monitors or 6 standard TB displays. I've seen the posts about the blacking out with this monitor but I didn't have any problems before the firmware update and now I've got them pretty regularly. I had the blacking out problem on an earlier monitor and took one of the monitors back and Apple gave me another one and this is the replacement. Same problem, but this one only started after the update. I'm hoping someone from Apple reads these messages and can let me know what's up.
BTW, I also have an older 27 inch Apple monitor that ran perfectly on this machine so I'm disappointed that I spent all this money and now get the blacking out issue.
Mac Pro (Late 2013)
Processor 3.7 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon E5

I have my Thunderbolt display connected to my MacBook Pro and have been experiencing the same issue, getting worse over time. The folks at my local Apple store did not know what to do about it. So, I looked around and tried different thing.
The one thing that seems to be working is to System Preferences > Build-in Display > uncheck “Automatically adjust brightness.”
I hope this helps.

Iphoto 11 thumbnails partly blacked out after importing

My existing library of approximately 12K photos in iPhoto 11 appears fine with no problems. However, now I find that when I try to import new photos into it, the thumbnails as well as the imported photos are partly blacked out. The import process takes longer than it should as well. The same photos are imported correctly into Lightroom so they are not the problem. I've rebuilt the library and the thumbnails, but the problem continues. Any suggestions? Thanks

Have a read of this thread:
RAW files suddenly show up as "not supported" (Aperture 3.5.1, OS X 10.10)
It describes how to delete and reinstall the Raw support. It has worked for some folks.

Web dialoge boxes blacked out after safari update

After the last update to Safari 5.1.7 (7534.57.2) web dialoge boxes are blacked out in google Sketchup Ver. 8. The only reason (we) suspect it was Safari is a recent thread at Sketucation fourm in which many users of Sketchup that use Lion 10.7.4 seem to be the only ones effected by this maybe someone here can shed some light. There seems to be a workaroud in Sketchup by changing some css file but it's not working fo all dialoge boxes.

Aperture Black screen after edits...

After upgrading to Aperture 2.1 I have a strange thing:
After editing a picture the Screen turns completely black. The histogram displays only one spike.
Resizing the window brings back the Image, but the histogram remains only one spike.
Thanks for help

It's a pretty common problem (do a search and you'll see some more topics regarding this). It happened again to me today for the first time in months. Except this time it wasn't the whole viewer but 3/4 of the viewer went black. Only things that were different today: I pressed i to remove the project pane, I straightened then cropped, I adjusted contrast. I rarely straighten and I rarely work without the project pane open. Also I was working while my MBP was not plugged in, and it was quite warm. Still can't really narrow down when it's going to happen.

Screen blacks out after latest itunes update installed

last year after installing an update for itunes my screen blacked out. it then intermittently worked for a few days before failing permanently. this was later fixed by replacing the inverter board. i didn't suspect the two events were linked. however, yesterday i got the latest update for itunes and again a few minutes after installation my screen blacked out! deja vu... it seems unlikely but is it possible the screen fault is caused by updating itunes?
this morning the screen is working again and i have run system restore to undo the installation. fine, but when i try to open itunes it starts installing again.

Thats odd. Not sure what this error means, but you could always try repairing disk permissions, that seems to solve most of the random errors that occasionally pop up on my OS X macs. Load the OS X install dvd into the drive then restart your machine holding the C key. choose english as the main language. Then go into the utilities menu and select disk utility. Click on your hard disk then click the repair permissions button. Once completed, restart the computer into OS X. Then try your screensaver again. If this doesnt work, post again and I'll take a closer look at it.

Most of apps blacked out after I transferred purchased items??

When updating my iPad Air, a message popped up, saying that I may need to transfer my purchased items to the iTunes library before updating, so I did so.
First, why do I need to do this? Will I lose anything after I update?
Second, after I did this and all items were copied to my library, my storage was full (0 bytes available) after having 980 MB free. However, this isn't the issue; most of the apps during the transfer were blacked out like apps are before they are downloaded from the AppStore. I tried to open one of them, iBooks. It told me 'waiting' and is still like that ever since. Why is that? How do I open them again?
Thanks for any help.

The fact that you only have 980 MB available is a problem. You need to leave some space on the device for fragmentation and that's just not enough space at all. So that means that your device is overloaded at this point. When you transferred the purchases and then tried to sync them back, the storage was at its limit. Maybe something got fragmented and put you over the top but now you need to delete some content before those "waiting" apps will finish syncing.
You always want to transfer purchases into iTunes in the event that the app, song, video, book, etc., is no longer available for download, you will still be able to sync it back to your device if you remove it from the device for any reason. Also, If you don't transfer it into iTunes and you sync without doing so, that will erase it from the device because when you sync with iTunes, you transfer the contents in iTunes to the iPad. If the content isn't in iTunes, it will be erased from the device when you sync. Does that make sense? I hope I explained that clearly enough.

HELP - Photos black out

I have a job I have to finish soon, and when I play back part of the video with pictures, the picture blacks out completely, and when it gets the transition, you see the photo for a split-second, and then the next photo is completely normal. This happened to around 5 photos, the problem is, is that it keeps happening! I am able to take the opacity to zero on the problematic photos and bring it back to 100%, and re-render, and it usually works. Any way to REALLY fix it?
I have a similar problem. Sometimes in between transitions the photo blinks really fast while in the middle of the transition. I mostly see black.
Thanks!

Color Model: RGB
Depth: 8
DPI Height: 144
DPI Width: 144
Orientation: 1 (Normal)
Pixel Height: 1536

Profile Name: Camera RGB Profile
I applied the Dip to Color Dissolve, on the photo before and going into the next photo. The photo that comes second in the timeline, blinks twice. This keeps happening to various photos. The photos that they happened to were either scanned or taken by a digital camera. Do you think I should call Apple regarding this.
Btw, I have an 8 Core Mac Pro, with 2 GB of Ram and my mac goes really slow when I am using Motion and Final Cut Studio simultaneously. I'm going to purchase more ram. I'm wondering if it makes a difference if I'm using an additional 2 GB of Ram or 8GB. Will I notice the difference?
Thanks

My secondary monitor flashes and blacks out after the 10.7 install. Any ideas on how to fix this?

I have installed 10.7 and the secondary monitor flashes and blacks out. I downgraded back to 10.6 and the problem went away. I reinstalled 10.7 and the same problem happened again. The monitor blacks in and out especially when the pointer is placed in the dock area, but it still happens all the time. My secondary monitor is a ViewSonic 22 inch that is connected to a DVI to display adapter. Any solutions??
Thanks

Talked to AppleCare and it's most likely the fact that my MacBook has 3.0 USB ports and my non official charging cable can't support that. So yeah, I'll try a new cable, hopefully that's the fix.

B&W images turn black & red after edit in iPhoto '11 v. 9.3

After editing some B&W jpegs, which appear to edit properly, they appear red when next viewed. The thumbnails appear normal. Any edit appears to cause this: simple image rotation, quick Enhance, adjusting any slider. These images edited properly under the previous version.
This only happens with some downloaded jpegs, not with images from any of our cameras.
Emailed one of these jpegs to another mac, also updated to same new version, same result. Both macs (2011 Air and 2008 MBPro) running Lion.
Suggestions?
Frank

LarryHN,
Thanks. I can see that iPhoto does indeed only edit in RGB as you say, but as a developer and user interface designer for 40 years including a dozen years at Apple, it *is* a bug. The original image does have a valid color profile of grayscale when imported, so iPhoto should either handle the RGB conversion correctly or refuse to import the original image (or at least warn).
The current operation is what we used to refer to as "user hostile." The fact that this is causing my wife and I hours of distraction due to an invisible attribute is cause enough for identifying this as a bug. It is not possible to look at a grayscale image and know whether its profile is grayscale or RGB.
My wife also reports that this worked properly in the previous "dot" release, suggesing that this is a reversion, and thus a bug. I'll be contacting Apple support.
Again, thanks for you help. Much appreciated.
Frank

Editing photos, black out and photos gone. Took screenshots during skype vid calling, photos arent found in PHOTOS app. Help?

One time I edited photos from my Camera Roll taken from our trip. About 6 of em i think. Then it crashed, gave me a black screen so i had to restart my phone. The next morning when i check my PHOTOS, the 6 photos were gone!! Now, while I was on Skype video chat, I took maybe 10 screenshots and of course you're able to hear the shutter every time. But when I check my PHOTOS, they are not there! I feel really bad because the photos i took were very important to me. I am so worried that this will happen again if i go on trip or capture a precious moment and find out that i got nothing. Please help me. I do reboot my phone for those who'll ask me so. Any advice or suggestions will be appreciated big time! Thank you

your phone shouldn't be crashing. Just like a computer, if that starts happening its time to reload the software. Follow this to do a restore on the device: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
