Photos have a red cast

Hi:
I just read a very long Forum post involving Chris Cox from July 2010 regarding the referenced issue; unfortunately the thread had left the problem unresolved in 2010. I have a Nikon D3 camera, Windows 7, CS5, and a Epson R3000 printer. Everything was working well together, then "snap", ALL photos have a magent cast. When Windows Photo Gallery or CS5/Bridge are first opened, the photos import with correct color balance immediately. Then, the screen "blips", and all photos have a magenta sunburn. If I plug a thumbdrive of the same photos (downloaded from Windows>Pictures) into a Mac with CS5 and an Epson 4880 printer, then everything works perfectly and no magenta in the work flow. This red cast in photos seems to have been a long standing issue for many people, I hope a resolution has been found by now for this frustrating problem. Thank you, Steve [email protected]

Printed photos have strong green cast

Since I upgraded to Lion all photos I print on my HP PhotoSmart 3310 have a very strong green cast, especially in the shadows.
I have tried printing directly from Aperture and also exporting the image then printing from Preview and it makes no difference. I have also reset the printing system by folowing this article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1341
A test page print from my printer looks fine so I don't think it's anything to do with the hardware itself.
Any ideas why this would be happening and any suggestions for further troubleshooting?

Have you verified it's a problem with the Mac, by printing to your printer from a different machine?
Also, have you updated the drivers recently?:

I can't import vertical photos to my iPad using the camera connection kit. Horizontal photos import without a problem, but verticals have a red exclamation mark. Help?!

I can't import vertical photos to my iPad using the camera connection kit. Horizontal photos import fine, but verticals have a red exclamation mark, and do not import. Help!?

I have the same problem and apple needs to fix this - but in the mean time you can manually select the vertical photos then "import - import selected" and you can get your verticals. We need a better fix. THIS IS A BUG!

Safari 4 images all have red cast until mouse over?

I've searched fairly extensively for anyone else having this same problem, and I note a number of possibly related threads on the colour/color management in Safari, but this problem seems to be slightly different. Perhaps someone will tell me this is a feature, but I can't find it listed. I'm finding that on many pages, such as www.news.com.au, images (of any size) have a distinct orange or red cast until I pass my mouse over them. A smaller but possibly related problem occurs with text and especially links, which are sometimes a garish bright blue until my mouse rolls over them.
To fix the images requires only a mouse over, and seems almost instantaneous, but this is tedious, and the pages look really ugly. Does this happen on all pages? No, for instance I did a search for "Steve Jobs" on Google images and the results all look fine. Do I have a MBP and a second monitor (which has been mentioned in the other threads)? Absolutely, a 24" Apple LCD.
If I understand the color management issues, images don't suddenly correct themselves when you move the mouse over them, which is why I thought I'd post this to see if there is a fix, or if anyone else is experiencing the same thing.
Thanks for any replies.
Ivan

And I'd like to report that although the red cast has gone away, it pales in comparison to the new problem, where images go monochrome/sepia, which I'm now experiencing. Moving the window over to the laptop screen and back to the second display seems to fix it, not exactly a great workaround. I hope someone fixes this bug soon, it's pretty nasty.

HT3964 Websites and photos have suddenly started to have distortion and are red

Just turned on MAC os x, only 5 months old, pictures in Iphoto and parts of websites have gone red in colour with some distortion, easier to look at pictures submitted than my explanation
Have tried PRAM, no change, when I move my arrow to extreme left of lcd it changes from black to black and red stripes !
Any ideas please, I havent changed any settings and don't play games etc

Have you tried any of the Troubleshooting Basics yet?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805
Specifically; the 'Repair Database' option in the First Aid dialog?
Unfortunately, databases can become corrupt for various reasons and that is what Aperture relies on to keep track of all the files and information in the library.
Post back as needed for additional help if that doesn't sort it (or if you have already tried).

Iphoto photos all have a red tint and dark

pictures were fine a month ago and now 90% of them have a red dark tint to them. Wife thinks its my fault any suggestions

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on seven different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.

Extreme red cast on iPhoto after editing

Some, but not all, photos edited in iPhoto exibit an extreme red cast distortion when I try to use them in a slide show or if I try to export them. I have tried several different formats on export and all show the red cast. The photo also changes to the redcast when I go into the info mode.

Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache folder(s):
Home/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
and, if there is one, the
Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: For Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
If that's doesn't help Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database, followed by Option #1 if needed.

I am trying to print a color photo on my MacBook Pro from iPhoto (not using Photoshop) using Epson 2200 printer, and everything I do in the Color Matching and Print Settings results in a photo with a pink cast to it. What am I doing wrong?

I am trying to print a color photo on my MacBook Pro from iPhoto (not using Photoshop) using Epson 2200 printer, and everything I do in the Color Matching and Print Settings results in a photo with a pink cast to it. What am I doing wrong?

Have you checked the ink cartridges and made sure the nozzles are clear? Are you able to print from outside of iPhoto with the correct color?
Try the following: make temporary copy of the library and do the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

B210a red cast and ICM

Hi have just installed a new B210a.
On my 4x6 prints, there is a feint red cast on the prints.
I also retouched the images in a popular piece of image software, but on printing, the images look like the originals and not the retouched versions - they are nowhere near as bright and clear as the monitor image.
Printer properties says ICM is disabled. What should I do about ICM with my HP DV9689ea laptop and the B210a?
Neil

I'm having the same problem but with a green cast. And my prints are "muddy" as well -- nowhere near the vibrant prints my Photosmart 8250 produced. I tried printing with ICM disabled and then with ICM handled by the printer with no visible improvement.

Why videos have a green cast and poor picture

All of the sudden videos on my phone have a green cast to them and look like a digital interfearance. It's happening on all videos. Both ones I have taken and ones on you tube. Anyone else have this problem?

You might have a hardware issue, the display might be damaged/going bad. I would try quitting All Apps and then restart the iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If that doesn't help, reset your iPad.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
You could try restoring the iPad as well, but I don't know that it would help.

My Canon Pixma Pro9000 Mark 2 printer and red cast to prints

My Canon Pro9000 Mark 2 prints with a severe red cast on all prints. It has worked great for 3 years prior on my Mac. Just updated and installed Mavericks (OS 10) and believe that to be the culprit. Already checked ink tanks, ran printer head tests, cleaned and deep cleaned, and so forth. Does any Mac user (or other) know of a fix for this?

It may be a little different with the 9000 as it is several models back by now. But what I explained should be close.

Photos print with red stripes across them

I have an Envy 5532 printer. If I print from an sd card the photos print ok, copying a photo direct from the scanner also prints perfectly, but if I print from photos already stored on my computer they have fine red lines randomly across them.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi,
Thank you for your reply. I have now found that my problem was in fact confused by a number of coincidences.
I had set up the printer and run test print pages & copied from the scanner and a print from an sd card before the "stripe" problem appeared. When I tried to print from a photo already stored on the computer was when it first really showed up. I ran the Print Doctor Tool and no problems were reported. Similarly the print test page appeared ok although of course it only has small coloured sections. Finally, after running test after test, the ink ran out and I had to put in a new cartridge - Eureka! problem disappeared.
I therefore conclude that I had a faulty cartridge that was causing the trouble. I have since run a photo on "best quality" onto Photo Paper and it looks perfect. At the high price of cartridges, this was a costly excercise, but at leat I am now able to print my photos which is what I bought it for.
