Picture goes "vague" when trying to edit in iPhoto

Hi everyone,
I'm using a MacBook Air 13inch 2014 with iOS 10.9.5 and iPhoto 9.5.1. I've read the topic's about pictures turning "vague" or about iPhoto reducing resolution of pictures (which I now know is not possible), but unfortunately I couldn't find an answer to my question so far. I'm also aware that "turning vague" is a very vague word, but unfortunately I don't know how to describe it otherwise.
My question is as follows: when I open a picture in iPhoto it appears in the original resolution and I can tell if a picture is sharp, but when I like to edit my picture and press the "edit" button, my picture suddenly looks "vague" in the edit-screen. When I go back to the regular iPhoto screen or zoom in on the picture in the "edit screen", the picture is not vague anymore so I know nothing really changes and it's just about the appearance. Sometimes the "vagueness" also resolves in the edit-screen after a few seconds, but this is definitely not always the case. So, with this problem, while going through my pictures in the edit-screen, I can't tell which pictures are actually vague or which ones appear to be vague just because of the edit-screen.
Hopefully someone can help me out!

There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: 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. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: 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.
3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help:
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

IPhoto goes black when trying to edit photos - help!

iPhoto has suddenly decided to go black screen (where the image should be) dark when trying to edit photos. Permissions are fine (read & edit) so that's not the issue (has been offered on mac forums as a solution to this problem in the past). I am on a MacBook pro 2.53 Ghz Core 2 Duo, 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB, running OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53).
Any help is greatly appreciated in advance.
Thanks!

Black Screen When Trying to Edit Photos

I have the same problem as many others: When trying to Edit a photo, double clicking it creates a normal enlarged screen but this screen is all black. The problem has been raised by many for some time but no solutions have been identified. Should I be surprised that Apple has not yet addressed or even recognize the problem?

what does it mean to right con it?
Sorry - right "click" - fat fingers here
when i try to view photos on full screen, i now get a black screen with a white exclamation point. i view these pictures earlier this year with no problem. please help!
That indicates that iPhoto has lost the connection between the thumbnail and the full photo - if you have not been messing around inside the iPhoto library (you NEVER should do this) then backup and rebuild your library - depress the command and options keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your library form the last automatic database backup - if that does not fix it use the other options - as a last resort use iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - to rebuild your library

I am using Lightroom 5 and am hapy about it, but recently I hav encountered a problem when trying to edit an image in another program, i.e. Elements. I used the clone tool, saved the result and went back to Lightroom to open the image there. I did find a second copy, but this is identic with the one I already had in Lightroom, and I can see noe result of the clone process.

At the moment I would say it is uncertain whether Acrobat is completely ignoring the change, or whether the changes you are making aren't affecting the ink density. I have a suggestion for a test you could make to see which is the case.
When editing in Photoshop just add a box or mark on the image, for your tests.
- If this box does not appear in Acrobat, you know Acrobat is not seeing the edit
- If this box does appear in Acrobat, you know the problem is that your tool for changing ink densities is not taking effect.

Right-click (Mac Cmd-click) on another panel header such as "Tone Curve". Make sure there is a checkmark for Basic as was all other panel sections that you want displayed.

Hi,
We need more information of the issue page. As suggested by Mokhtar, you could check if the issue is related to permission.
The issue might also occurs to the page which is developed based Ajax registration. Then it might be caused by AAM configuration.
And you could also refer to the link below if the issue is related to SSRS:

After iPhoto update some photos go black when trying to edit them and am unable to edit those photos

After iPhoto update some photos go black when trying to edit them and am unable to edit those photos. How do I fix this as this is the latest update?

If I hold down the Option key while launching iPhoto, I get the option to start a new library. Do I have to import all my thousands of photos into the new library?

Java error when trying to edit file - access denied

We have been running Vibe 3.0 for a couple years with no issues but suddenly users have begun to get java errors when trying to edit a file from Vibe. When a file entry is opened and the "Edit this file" link is clicked, a dialog pops up that says :
Error from command:
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.io.FilePermission <<ALL FILES>> execute)
Has anyone else seen this? Could it be related to some windows security update perhaps? Any ideas how to resolve would be appreciated. This happens with regular users as well as admin.
Vibe is running on SLES 10 with mysql. We are using IIS Windows Authentication.
Thanks

When trying to edit a photo, it disappears (black screen) or screen is full of lines. Is this a bug with the latest software update?

After updating with the latest software, when trying to edit a photo, it disappears (black screen) or screen is full of lines. If I blindly crop or edit the photo, when I exit edit mode, those changes have been made, but obviously this is unacceptable. Is this a bug with the latest software update?

Elements 11 organizer has stopped working when trying to edit an album?

Has anyone run into this?
The only place I've had the problem is when trying to edit an album. After it stops working, elements 11 just shuts down.
Operating system is Windows 7 Ultimate.
Thanks...

Great.. you figured that out
Just a thought, if you want to continue using Roboform as well as PSE and the two conflict.. you can Add PSE to Roboform's blacklist. That should stop the interaction between the two.
Steps to do so-
If PSE is running, close it now.
In Roboform 7, go to Options / Applications Integration.
Select Add to the Black List (the list of applications RoboForm will not attach to).
Browse to the location of the PSE executable <Organizer in your case, possibly Editor too>
Thanks

Ipod restarts when trying to edit photos

when i go to edit a photo my ipod restarts itself

Many users notice this bug -- it happens when trying to edit a screenshot taken on the iPod. It seems to only apply to the iPod touch, as it works on iPhone or iPad. This bug has been reported.
If that is the case, the user should submit another bug report for it again via this link: http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodtouch.html

I need a good FINDER (CTRL+F) add on. For some reason mine is not finding the .css coding on the template when trying to edit it. Anyone know whats going on ?

i am trying to EDIT a .css file on a website. Its a template from the website ( highwire.com ) When i am trying to find certain color codes #FFFFFF for example my finder (CTRL+F) wont find it but when i scroll down i see that there is some on the .css file. anyone know a good add on to actually find my coding when typed in.. I need to change alot of the colors from green to yellow and oranges to blue. The .css is over 1700 lines of coding.. just need some quick find and replace addon.

You seem to have a lot of #fff codes in the CSS files that obviously aren't found with the long #ffffff search term (#fff finds them)
Make sure that the match case box isn't selected on the Find bar (Ctrl+F)
