Preview, edited, entire picture vanished, pale gray only

I  have a macbook pro, the latest Yosemite.
I opened Preview to edit a photo, but when I changed brightness using the colour editing box,  the entire image vanished, replaced with pale gray, so I could not see my edit.
This happened once before and I somehow found the remedy, but can't remember how I solved it.
i need this editing feature with some urgency.

Not really, i just changed my approach. Instead of having one project with all the clips in it, then selecting what I wanted out of it to copy and paste into a new project, I made individual new projects from the clips in the bin.
I originally didn't do this because I couldn't keep track of which clips in the bin I had already used ! (each new project kept the clips in the bin starting back at the first one) So i changed my preferences so that 'clicking on clip' didn't select whole clip and now it's easier for me.
(I'm getting old: I need to take advantage of anything that will help me remember )

  • Word document print preview shows entire pasted image, but prints only part of image

    I just bought a new HP 8620.  When doing a copy and paste into Word, everything is shown in the print preview.  However, part of the image, usually the bottom, is not printed.

    Hi nedamirakl,
    Thank you for your response!
    If you copy a photo, does it print the whole picture? Copy Text or Mixed Documents.
    After some further searching, I would recommend to try the shrink to fit option in Word, Shrink to Fit in Word 2010 and Word 2013.
    If that does not work, please try the following:
    Uninstall the software. Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    Clean boot the computer. How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
    Re-install the software using the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
    Hope this helps, and have a nice day!

  • Lync 2013 client - part of Office 2013 Pro Plus - unable to edit or remove picture, option is grayed out.

    Hi Team,
    Lync 2013 client - part of Office 2013 Pro Plus - unable to edit or remove picture, option is grayed out.
    Using Exchange 2010 Server and Lync 2010 Server at the back. To the best of my knowledge, this option is only available when using Exchange 2013 rather than Ex 2010.
    Can somebody confirm this as I am not 100% sure about it.
    Appreciate your help. Thanks

    Hi,
    The photo precedence in Lync 2013 is high-resolution photo from Exchange 2013 -> Photo from web address -> Active Directory photo. The "Edit or Remove Picture" button is available if you integrate Lync Server 2013 with Exchange 2013.
    Since you are Lync server 2010 and Exchange 2010, you can choose the following two options:
    The thumbnailPhoto attribute on the user's object in Active Directory Domain Services
    A URL configured by the user

  • Time Machine on my iMac won't open iPhoto. It goes to desktop screen automatically. When I select User/Picture/Iphoto library it only brings up the preview page with the size of the folder. I can't get into the library to look for lost photos.

    Time Machine on my iMac won't open iPhoto. It goes to desktop screen automatically. When I select User/Picture/Iphoto library it only brings up the preview page with the size of the folder. I can't get into the library to look for lost photos.

    Thank You. This helps me alot to get into the masters and to see events and photos in a utilitarian way, but it is not as easy as viewing the normal iphoto format to find photos.  Can I do something else or did I not do something right to not see normal iphoto in Time Machine ?

  • Pages works with all other docs, except the one I need to work on.  From my downloads folder I can preview the entire file, however whenever I try to open it, i get the "opening" pane filled to ~90% and then the SBBOD.  Only file it does this on...help??

    From my downloads folder it recognizes the file as a Pages document, I can preview the entire document, but I try to open the file in multiple ways (from right click, to open from preview, from inside pages) and it refuses to open.  The "opening" prompt comes up, fills ~90% and then I eventually get the SBBOD.  It will fail out if given long enough to think it through or i need to force quit.
    OS- 10.7.5
    Pages: downloaded from App store when i purchased my mac mini last fall. fresh update.

    Since it has always been very basic to backup your computer and all it's data, Apple provides no way for you to transfer music from your iPhone back to your computer.  As you know, you can re-download all iTunes purchases, but music that you ripped yourself you'll have to just re-rip again.
    You can try and find 3rd party applications that might help you.  I'm sure you'll pay, however.
    Let this be a very important lesson learned.

  • When previewing images by clicking on the thumbnail in an Event for example, I've been finding that many images preview in a 'zoomed in' way so only a small part of the photos is previewed in a highly magnified view.

    When previewing images by clicking on the thumbnail in an Event for example, I've been finding that many images preview in a 'zoomed in' way so only a small part of the photos is previewed in a highly magnified view.
    Initially I could find no cause. Then I tried right click - Edit and on the affected images, always get this warning:
    "Image Cannot Be Edited - This photo was previously edited with another application or with an early version of Iphoto. Duplicate this photo to edit it." and a "Duplicate To Edit" Button is displayed. 
    The external Editor defined for iPhoto is Adobe Photoshop Elements.
    Now, I reckon the MUST be others out there affected by this same apparent Preview bug, yet my searches have not revealed any answers.  Also seems impossible to find a contact number for adobe???
    Thanks

  • I updated and now cant edit my pictures

    I downloaded the newst update for lightroom and now I cant edit my pictures. There is a question mark and it says that my photo is missing.

    What version of LR did you upgrade from and to?  Is this a version upgrade from LR 2.x to LR 3.5, or just an update from LR 3.4 to LR 3.5?
    To better guess what could have happened, for one of the photos you have relocated, can you tell us where LR used to think the photo should be and where is it really, now, in terms of the drive-letter or server/share and folder path? 
    Is the difference the drive-letter like D: changed to E: or is the difference the folder-path, like C:\Documents and Settings\...\My Pictures\Lightroom changed to C:\Users\...\Pictures\Lightroom, or is it just the difference in casing from the old path to the new path, like C:\MY PICTURES to C:\My Pictures?  Are you on a Mac or a PC?

  • OC4J developers preview edition

    hi!
    At the moment I'm in a starting J2EE project involved.
    I have to decide, which OC4J version to use. My choice would be the developers preview edition,
    but will the production release be shipped by november?
    Because this would be the deadline of the project, and I can't install a developers edition
    on a production system.
    thanx

    Hi Paul,
    I had similiar problems like the one you describe.
    I got the JMS example (CoffeeMaker) running, but had problems with my own application ( Object not bound).
    In my case, I got it running now when I only use the absolute necessary (oc4j.jar, junit.jar in my case) in my classpath
    (of course the application client xml's must contain your lookup names, but I did not !!! have to setup
    my queue in jms.xml (wonder why).
    You might try this (oc4j.jar references the required libs for jms,jndi,etc. internally)
    [Comment to "absolute necessary": of course I have a CLASSPATH which contains only the necessary libs.
    But since we are working on a framework which does not only want to connect to OC4J JMS (or EJB), I have
    a CLASSPATH containing other libs. I have to find the correct order, I guess.]
    But still my question to this forum: how is it possible that a queue is started "implicitly" (that means it is
    not configured in jms.xml). Is this desired or mandatory (Sun J2EE reference implementation does the same).
    Or am I missing something ?
    Regards,
    Armin

  • HT201077 I moved some pictures from my photo stream to an album in iPhoto.  The photo stream icon didn't disappear and I can't edit the picture .

    I moved some pictures from my photo stream to an album in iPhoto.  The photo stream icon didn't disappear and I can't edit the picture .

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Moving photos from photostream to your library just imports them, it doesn't remove it from photostream, therefore photostream won't disappear.
    Photos in photostream can't be edited, you can only edit photos that have been imported from photostream.

  • Why is it that even after editing a picture under iPhoto, the original picture is still the file that is being exported?

    Why is it that even after editing a picture under iPhoto, the original picture is still the file that is being exported?

    because you are exporting the original?
    SInce you give us no information at all we can only guess and that is the most likely
    How are you editing the photo - iPhoto? An external editor? How?
    how are you exporting?

  • EP6 in sneak preview edition

    Hi there,
    I have downloaded the NW04 SP15 Sneak Preview Edition from SDN and it has EP6 along with it. I am working on it at the moment. I would like to know whether there are any differences between the sneak preview edition and the licensed version of the portal? Or is it exactly the same, and the difference lies only in the license?
    Thanks in advance for any replies.

    Thank you Abdul. It seems working though I did get different error - password not confirming to policy. I need to figure out what the ps requirement is (length, special char,...).

  • I am in the UK and want to edit on iMovie in PAL. Is this possible?

    I have edited on the default NTSC and when tried to convert to PAL it only allows a Quicktime file which i then cant seem to write to DVD which will play on a DVD player. Disc only plays on MAC. When i tried converting the project through iMovie by taking it straight ti iDVD, it says the project is NTSC. Anyone help? Thanks

    BUT
    Don't put a PAL movie into a NTSC iDVD project - or vice versa -
    iDVD will try to convert - but the result is far from good.
    Let JES_Deinterlacer (free on internet) to convert to NTSC or PAL
    then set up an NTSC or PAL project (29.97fps or 30) in iDVD and import then burn
    I burn to
    • Verbatim DVD-R
    • Set down burn speed in iDVD to x1 or x4 recommended by many
    • Secure a minimum of 25Gb free space on internal boot hard disk before burning (IMPORTANT)
    PAL is 25 fps and an analog TV standard of 625 lines
    NTSC is 29.97 fps and 520 lines
    NTSC (29.97fps) 520 lines - about640x480 pixles (square) 720x480 rectangular (narrow) pixels
    PAL (25 fps) 625 lines - about768x576 pixles (square) 720x576 rectangular (narrow) pixels
    to use a photo 702x480 resp 576 then add 9pixles on each side to add togheter as 720

  • About preview edits PDF problem? Please help!

    When I fill some forms and do the checks on PDF file using preview, it shows like this.
    Anyone knows why? it doesn't like check or X? or if anyone knows any good PDF editor? Please help!

    Your Preview is putting both a checkmark and an X into the checkbox. My Preview only puts a checkmark. I can't see where you can specify either one or the other (X or checkmark) in Preview on my Yosemite 10.10.1 with Preview version 8.0. Did you do something to enable "X" rather than checkmark?
    What version of OS X and Preview are you using?
    I use an app called PDFpenPro to do this sort of thing with usually (fill out forms and editing PDF files) and it also only puts checkmarks into the checkboxes.

  • Trying to edit a picture always ruins it

    I'm having a problem with iPhoto, that's been going on for a while. It originally started happening with iPhoto 6. I recently upgraded to iPhoto '09, but am still having the same problem.
    Every time I try to edit a picture in iPhoto, it gets totally ruined. All sorts of colored noise ends up in the picture. The whole thing is covered with this horizontal bands of color noise. If you zoom in on the picture, the horizontal bands are actually made up of lots of one pixel wide vertical lines.
    [Here is a link to an example image|http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/598/p1010479edit.jpg]. I've shrunk it down for uploading, but it gives a good idea of what I'm seeing. The only edit I made to this photo was to move the 'shadow' slider over some.
    I can do very basic things like crop and rotate a picture, but any kind of editing in the 'adjust' palette causes it. The thing is, during the adjusting itself, everything looks fine, it's just when I hit 'done' do these bands show up. Even stranger, if I go back and reedit the same photo, the bands go away while I'm in edit mode, but then come back when I hit 'done'.
    I've tried reinstalling iPhoto. As I said, it's done this with a previous iPhoto version as well, and across a number of OS X versions. It even does this on different user accounts on my machine.
    It's really annoying not to be able to touch up any of my pictures. I searched, but didn't see anyone else post an issue like this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    To summarize your problem:
    1. It happens with more than one version of iPhoto.
    2. It happens in more that one account.
    3. It happens with more than one OS.
    Try some basic remedies. I don't think they will solve the problem, but it can't hurt to try them. Quit iPhoto and delete your iPhoto preferences. To do this, go to your username> library> preferences> com.apple.iphoto.plist. Delete this file. Then reopen iPhoto; it will create a new preference file with all of the default settings.
    Do a verify and repair of permissions using Disk Utility.
    My feeling is that this is a hardware rather than software problem. If the problem persists, I suggest that you post in the PowerMac G5 forum.
    I hope this helps.
