Photos look like film negatives after color correcting

I tried following Scott Kelby's instructions for color correcting digital images in PSE 10. I was entering the values he gave for the R,G and Blue channels. I got off track and probably missed a step. Anyway, now when I try any of the auto correction features, my images look like film negatives and not like a regular digital image. How can I re-enable the auto correction features (levels, color correction, etc.) ?

Make an levels adjustment layer and Alt (option) click on the Auto button in the levels dialog.
Then in the Auto Color correction Options set the RGB values for
Shadows RGB 0,0,0
Midtones RGB 128,128,128
Highlights RGB 255,255,255
Then check Save as Defaults

HT4623 How can I restore full color to the iphone fron it looking like the negative of a photo

The opening page looks like the negative of a photo. How can I restore that screen to normal colors?

Make sure Settings>General>Accessibility>Invert Colors is turned OFF.

My iPad 2 screen has turned a weird colour. The background is black and the letters are white instead of the other way round and colour photos look like negatives. How do I change it back.

My IPad screen has turned a weird colour, the background is white and the letters white instead of the other way round. Colour photos look like negatives. How can I turn it back to a white background.

Dear Steve,
You are wonderful! You are the best! I'm Stephania and I recently purchased a refurbished ipad2. I've had it for about 3 weeks now and updating & fixing it so my liking. The only thing that I couldn't correct were the photos that looked like negatives. Every photo, even on the internet, on apps, everywhere! I just couldn't figure out how to fix it. I contacted Apple Care and its too difficult to get in touch with them. I had looked through support before but didn't put in the right question. Well, today I got lucky. I did the two things you suggested and turning the "White On Black" off did the trick. I'm so happy! I had a feeling it was something simple and this is not even in the manual!

How do I make 29.97fps look like film?

Sorry for the novice questions, but all of my footage has been shot on a relatively inexpensive camcorder which records at 29.97fps. Is there any easy way to make it look like a 24fps film when I play it back on my NTSC television?
I am relatively new to FCP but I have started learning compressor and I also heard about a program called 'Nattress?"
Any help would be appreciated!!!

There have been endless discussion and tutorials on how to make 29.97 look like film, so I would also check Google. One of the more commonly known plugins that will do this is called Magic Bullet. But be aware, there is only so much that can be done with DV footage shot on a relatively inexpensive camcorder (I'm assuming DV). Most "film effects" plugins will provide you with a nice number of presets that will soften your image, simulate pulldown, add grain, and do some heavy color correction. But they can't invent pixel data that isn't there to begin with.
What really makes shooting on film so unique and eye catching is that if you can afford to work with it, chances are you can also afford high quality lenses and professional lighting. Things like motion blur, grain, lack of color sampling and a high dynamic range are what give film a unique look. Personally, I think getting a true "film look" for DV is a bit of an impossibility, but people have done some nice stuff with these plugins. Unfortunetly, until the really high end video formats make it into our Handycams, I think we're stuck with simulating the effects, rather than duplicating them.

How do i create an image to look like a negative strip?

How do i create an image in PSE11 to look like a negative strip? I have been able to do this in the past in older PSE but i cannot find the option in this version.

Maybe you had installed an action into your previous version of photoshop elements?
Anyway here's an action that will work in pse 11, although the look is a little different.

Problem with slideshow in iPhoto. Photos look like they are all the right way up but when in slideshow action some are sideways.

even though all photos look like they are the right way up, when the slideshow commences, some of them display sideways. I have tried re-rotating them - and still have same problem. Help please - need it for Saturday night !

What version of iPhoto are you using? Are you creating the slideshow directly from an album or are you using the slideshow mode?
As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?

HP Color Laserjet CM1015 MFP prints colors looking like 3D while single colors print fine. I have tried several calibrations with no change. I have reset printer to factory default with no success.

Hi AFace; hope you are doing well and sorry to hear that you are having this issue.
Your HP Color Laserjet CM1015 MFP is a commercial product. I will suggest posting and looking in the forum for HP Business Support for a better chance at finding a prompt solution.
You may find the commercial Laserjet board here.

Monitor looks like a negative

My monitor looks like a negative. My text is white and the background is black. I looked through the system preferences to convert it back and can't seem to figure it out. I also looked through this website and couldn't find in any information. Can someone point me in the right direction.
Thank You!
Jeff

laprete,
You're Welcome!
When you opened Universal System Preferences, you may have noticed the key combination that I posted, was displayed under Switch to White on Black, in key symbols.
This KB Article Symbols for special keys, shows you what symbols correspond to which keys.
You will see these symbols used in various other places as well. In the Finder contextual menus, for example. Keyboard Shortcuts.

Making Digital Or DV Look LIke Film

Hi All,
I was wondering if it is possible in FCS2 to make digital or dv look like film (a movie).
Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated

Yes.
But "film" is a completely subjective term.
If you could be a bit more specific about what you think of when you say "film" we might be able to help you directly. For instance, film can mean grain, contrast, glow, frame rate, motion blur, or screen aspect ratio or any and all of those combined together.
If you will search the FCP forum for FILM LOOK you will find hundreds of threads that can help you decide which of the many pathways to a particular look'n'feel you want to chase. None of these recipes are simple as they require a stack of filters and each filter has many tweakable settings.
There are many third party filter packages available to make your video look EXACTLY like it was shot on film. Expensive and very cool. You can google "film look filters for FCP"

I have a problem. I take photos with camera of my iPod touch 5 with the effects that comes in the iPod and now when I look to my photos I see that the effects go out and the photos looks like I didn´t put the effects. What is that? How can I solve it?

Video tear after color correction

I'm operating Mac- CS6 build 6.0.2 and my original media is fine. After color correction ( auto color with just a little white clip boost) there is a tear or dropped frame that occurs intermittently in about 3 minuntes of my sequence. Rendering has not resovled the issue nor has a test export solved the problem. Any thoughts on what is causing the issue. All other areas in my sequence are fine with the same correction.

You're welcome.
