Problem with imported photos color/exposure

Hello group,
Have been working on a video of our vacation and am having a strange problem importing photos. When I import the photo, it looks as it should. When I add the ken burns effect, once it renders the color seems washed out and the exposure looks lighter. If I import them without the KB effect they are fine. I am using three sets of photos from three different digital cameras, all doing the same thing. This is using the Aperture library. Any ideas? It almost is acting like I have some sort of global adjustment set, but I can't find any such thing. I have been using the edit pane/Video FX/Adjust colors/brightness and adjusting them back with that, but this is way too time consuming. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Oh I forgot to add, when I click on the photo settings in the timeline and it shows the preview pane, it looks correct then as well. I have also tried hitting the full screen play button and they show faded in that mode as well. Hope this makes sense!
Thanks,
John

hey there Bastropguy,
i know this may sound wacky, but have you actually burned any of your projects to DVD & watched them on a TV from a set-top DVD player? many times what looks wrong or poor on your Mac looks fine once you burn to disc in iDVD. KB effect is a bit of a hog, using a lot of processing power to do its job so that's possibly the reason for the images looking poor on your Mac. p suggest you finish this project as a half & half for comparison & see how the images you've tweaked look vs. the untweaked.
good luck.

  • LR 3.6: Problem with importing photos (system disk filled up).

    Hi, I'm new here and in start I would like to apologize for my English. It's not very good.
    I have a problem with the program Lightroom 3.6 (in 3.5 was the same)
    When I import photos from disk into Lightroom, my system drive is filling up drastically.
    Windows & applications (LR too) are in C (60GB OCZ SSD drive)
    Catalouge is on drive D - different drive (HDD)
    RAW cache is located on frive G - different drive (HDD)
    When I view the photos to select the files I want to import my C drive is filled up by file:
    C:\Users\Gimmickz\AppData\Local\Temp\cr_sdk_023324  10.tmp
    When I restart lightroom, the space is cleared.
    I saw that many people had a similar problem (they concerned the same file: cr_sdk_XXXXXXXX.tmp) , but occurred when exporting resized images.
    I've a problem with the choice of images to then work on them. Usually I select 20-30, added to the catalog and then resets Lightroom to select the next images.
    This is very annoying when I have to select hundreds of images.
    If a solution to this problem was already on the forum, please do not delete my topic (cost me a lot of effort to describe my problem in English) - Just give a link to the solution, or write it again - plain English as possible. alternatively, please contact: [email protected]
    It is very important to me - I can not fully work on this software - please help.
    Regards,
    Gimmickz.

    Hi Hal!
    Thank you so, so much for your reply!
    Thats make sense.
    Today I'm away from home, but tomorrow I'll check it, but I think this will solve my problem and I will be able to work comfortably.
    However, such large temp files should not be normal... you confirm? (temp file after viewed a few (20-50) photos can be more than 10 GB.)
    Best regards and again - thank you Hal!

  • Problem with importing photos to MBP: The new event shows up at the beginning of Events rather than at the end

    When I imported photos on my older Mac computers G4 and G5), the new event would show up as the last event in EVENTS. With my new MBP, the new event shows up consistently at the beginning of EVENTS (actually as the second event), and it is a big inconvenience to have to drag it to the end (through some 500 events). How can I change this? Thank you for your help!

    If you have the sort set to manual then you must manually sort the events as you choose - there is no "sort manually the way I am thinking" setting - manual is manual - and for what ever reason with the current version of iphoto second from the top is where events start for you to then manually put where you want
    BTW - events are a poor choice for organizing photos and extremely inflexible (as you are seeing) - albums and folder are much more powerful and flexible and are the better way to organize photos

  • Is there a problem with importing photos from Photomatix into V4.4?

    I just upgraded to V4.4.  When I import hdr pictures from Photomatix (stacked with the original) I get the #2 on one of the photos as I should.  However, when I try to expand the selectioon by clisking on #2 all I get is 1 of 2 or the #2, I cannot see the imported hdr picture.  I've even tried right clicking and expanding the stack but nothing seems to work.  This worked fine in V4.3 so it is a new problem.  I do a lot of landscape photography including panoramas and this is a real problem for me.  Hopefully there's a simple solution.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Problem with imported photo resolution

    When I import a photo either by email or application Briefcase import, the resolution is very poor. I have tried emailing or Briefcase-ing the photo either at original high resolution or a cropped 640 x 480 resolution, with the goal of using the photo as a wallpaper. When I look at it as an email attachment on my Touch, it looks great, but when I open it in the Photo application, it is VERY pixelated, looking like it was downsampled at 72dpi, or less. Is there something simple I am missing to save the higher resolution version that I see in the mail application to the Photo application so I can use it for wallpaper?
    Thanks for any suggestions,
    Paul

    Thanks, roaminggnome, touch is up to date, itunes is not up to date, as apple just released 8.1
    I will install when at the computer I sync from later today and retry. I also haven't tried installing the photo by a cable sync, only by the pic received wirelessly...so I'll try that too.

  • Problems with "imported" photos in iPhoto

    The default on my version of iPhoto (V. 8.1.2) seems ot have been just import links.  But I really would prefer to have the photos actually imported into theiPhoto library, so when I upgrade (both iPhoto andmy computer) I can just take the library, and not worry about the links being broken.
    Is there some way I can do this, without having to re-create the whole library?
    Thanks

    Set iPhoto to be a managed Library and then
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.  

  • IPhoto version 9.4.1 problem with imported photos from camera card reader

    My wife imported a lot of photos from a camera card reader.  The  imports show up fine when she launches iPhoto, but when you double click on one, nothing happens.  It doesn't go to full size.  It just doesn't respond for any of the pictures imported.  The rest of her pictures behave normally....when clicked on they enlarge just not the ones recently imported.  I did a repair disk permissions and no luck there.  What can we do to these pictures to make them behave normally when selected and double clicked?

    Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder Window should open with the file selected. Does it?

  • I have problem with importing photos from my Nikon-camera...

    ... to iPhoto. For each photo I want to import I have to click on the cancel-button in a textbox who says that the file can not be detected and I have to reconnect to the server. Why??

    This sometimes occurs if you’re importing a file into iPhoto and there’s already a file there with the same name. Digital cameras can produce many, many files with the same name over their lifetime, so it’s not uncommon to have several files called IMG_00543.JPG, for instance. Now you want to import one also called this.
    What happens is that iPhoto compares the two files to check for duplicates. However, if iPhoto cannot find the file already in the database for comparison, then you get this message. It suggests that your database is damaged because iPhoto has lost track of this (or these) similarly named files.
    A simple test is to rename the file you are importing - just add a character - IMG_00543a.JPG for instance. If this then imports with no issue then you might consider rebuilding your library:
    Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Color problem with ProPhoto RGB color space

    Hi, everyone,
    I have wery special problem I think. I use MacBook pro 15" with retina display, adobe Photoshop CC and when I export RAW (from Nikon D7000) from Lightroom 5 to Photoshop with settings: 16 bit TIF, color space: ProPhoto RGB I have a problem with displaying the correct colors. As you can see in this picture:
    My problem are some "green" artefacts in absolutely black and white picture. I tried myself to solve this problem and found the following facts: when I convert picture into Adobe RGB or sRGB color space is everything OK - without green artefacts.
    But here is one important fact: I have calibrated monitor by datacolor spyder4elite and problem with ProPhoto RGB incorrect color displaying is only when the color calibration configuration is loaded. When I change my display calibration to standard apple color LCD profile than is everything OK.
    But using uncalibrated monitor and also Adobe RGB color space are no right solutions for me.
    My question is why I have problem with displaying ProPhoto RGB color space in photoshop under calibrated monitor profile and can anybody help me please?
    Thanks for answers.

    That's a classic example of the basic problem with 16 bit color. There is no solution that I know of.

  • Problems with Nokia Photos (Lifeblog)

    I have been using Lifeblog 2.5 on my PC running on Windows XP sp2 for more than 2 years and was very pleased with how this software worked. I regularly used it to transfer both photos and videos from my N80 and N95 to my pc. When Lifeblog was premium software I paid for the full version.
    I had a problem with my PC and had to perform a destructive recovery on the C drive of my pc. I then tried to download the Lifeblog program again from Nokia only to be met with a SORRY greeting. So i was able to find the Nokia Photos software which I downloaded and installed. I then imported my Back up files from Lifeblog.
    The problem with Nokia Photos is Videos do not play. Only SMS and Photos can be viewed even though I have ticked all the boxes.
    I think that Nokia must have some problems with Lifeblog and Nokia Photos. Any help as to how I may be able to get it to work as well as it was before would be greatly appreciated.

    I have since reinstalled all the XP framework software and it seems to work fine now.

    Hi Paul  What are your system specs. Raw files are usually quite large so the process could be draining your memory (RAM). Are you importing from camera or from your hard drive. In the case of the latter try importing one folder at a time or in smaller batches. You can select files and drag and drop into the organizer. You must drop on the dark gray area between the left and right side panels (if both panel are visible).

  • A problem with importing layered PSD file into Flash

    Hi.
    There's a problem with importing layered PSD file into Flash.
    If I import a layered PSD file, some part the color of the lower layer is shown at the edge of objects or shadows. Instead, if I crop each layers first and import them, there's no problem.
    If the higher layer has brush or transparent effects, it becomes worse.
    Any help with this problem?
    Thanks.

    How was the original art created? Was the original RGB or CMYK? What is the resolution of the Photoshop file? Flash only works well with RGB and 72 pixel per inch resolution. If your original art is not set this way, then Flash will attempt to convert it as it imports it. Flash uses the sRGB color space. You'll get the best color translation if your Photoshop file is using this color preference.

  • Problems with importing images into Lightroom cc

    Problems with importing images into Lightroom cc
    I have installed lightroom cc and having trouble imortera images from my Canon 1DX.
    Lightroom starting the capture, but then nothing happens more, if I turn off the camera, I get error message photo 100-200 could not be loaded.
    Now I have left lightroom 5 and where the input port works fine.
    What happened to the upgrade from Lightroom 5 to lightroom cc?
    The camera has the latest software.

    I've now tested in various ways.
    First, I have images on both memory cards in the camera.
    Test1) Selects Not all of the photos in the camera at the input port bearings, it seems to work fine.
    Test 2) selects all cards in the camera and then get the following, Lightroom starts inportera short but stops and nothing happens (Fig.1).
    I turn the camera off after a while and get the next meddelnade (picture 1)
    Which can be translated:
    "The following files were not imported because they could not read (351)

  • After iphoto 9.1.5. problem with editing photos

    After I did the 9.1.5. update I have a problem with editing photo's. My photo's are about 35mb a piece.. they are panoramic photo's. Editing used to work perfect in iphoto 8.. after I went to iphoto 9 it became buggy.. (it crashes on certain photo's that 8 could handle without a problem).. but I learned to live with it. Now I did the 9.1.5. update and I can edit maybe 2 or 3 pics without a problem.. then when I get to number 4 Iphoto will show me a black screen.
    If I close iphoto and start it again, I can continue where I left off.. untill I get to a picture that seems to ruin the party.. and then I have to restart again..
    Iphoto 8 used to work so smooth with panoramic photo's.. dont know where it went wrong..

    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). 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?
