Purple pixels on my pictures

So...I have a new iPhone, less than a month old. The front facing camera is producing purple halos around lights as well as on high lighted place on faces. I have reset the phone, no help. I am thinking it is a hardware issue as the rear camera is working just fine. Any suggestions?

Here are two pictures I took at different times, different lighting situations....

  • Does anyone know how to fix purple pixels on the back camera?

    I Was outside running around playing lacrosse and had my phone in my waist band with the back of the phone up against my skin. After running around and getting sweaty I grabbed my phone and there was condensation on the inside of the camera. And now when I try to take pictures it looks like all the pixels are sort of like a purple like the pic above. You can see through it but the purple pixels really disrupt the picture. Has anyone ever had anything like this happen. If so how'd you fix it?

    Hello ChrisBaeza21,
    Sorry to hear about the camera on your iPhone not working properly. There probably is not a way for you to fix it yourself, but it would be a good idea to have it looked at by Apple, as it may need to be repaired. Because it got wet you may be looking at a repair that you may have to pay for because any liquid exposure is something that is not covered by the limited warranty. If you have AppleCare+, then cost would not be as much. Take a look at the articles below to go over those options to have your iPhone looked at.

  • How to get the r,g,b value of a pixel in a picture

    Hi, there
    How can I get the integer value of the r, g, b value of a pixel in a picture. This picture is loaded from a file, such as jpg or gif. That means the absolute position of the left corner of the picture may be float when you change the size of the window.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi, there
    I try the way that you suggested, but it still cannot work. I attach the fragment code here. If anyone have time, please help me to check why I always get 0 for the r,g and b value.
    Thanks in advance

  • IMac 2010 11,3 Green/Purple Pixels

    Hi Guys,
    Been browsing the internet for ages, including the apple forums, and always come across similar issues, but never seem to fit mine 100%.
    I've got a 27" iMac 2010 11,3 i5.
    Basically, about a year or so ago, it started to get these slight green and purple pixels on the screen, more square artifacts than anything else, but it was no problem, because if i'd 'select' them with the cursor, they'd go, as time progressed they've gotten worse and worse, to the point where they would take over the whole screen, again, a simple 'select' all of the screen would remove them for a short while, they never appeared doing anything specfic, but would be guarenteed to turn up.
    The system now is only really usuable during Safe Boot, Under normal boot conditions, it will last between 15 seconds and an hour tops, Until it just hangs, the entire GUI is locked, however the Cursor will move, I've left it for a while to see if it will reclaim itself, but to no avail, the only option is to hold down the power until it shuts down.
    Now, this only started happening after upgrading to Lion, I've since moved to Mountain Lion, and it still persists, So i decided to do an Apple Hardware Test in Extended mode, I received an error regarding the HDD, which was a 1TB Western Digital Drive, Don't get me wrong, it was slow, but it never seemed to give me issues, so I replaced the hard drive (No Apple care & out of Warranty), with a 2TB Seagate Model, Installed Mountain Lion, instant issues, Straight after succesful install.
    I've since done several other Hardware Tests, and the only issue i get is the Hard Drive Sensor, Which I understand because of the 3rd Party hard drive.
    So, within the last 3-4 weeks i've reinstalled, Re formatted, Zero'd the hard drive around 15 times, just to see if anything changed.
    With Regards to the Safe Mode Boot, Its perfect, never get artifacts, never get a hang, nothing! Same goes for anything other than Normal Boot Conditions.
    These pixels can be screenshot and still remain there! They also appear over Screen Sharing.
    The system was bought for Graphic Design use, and thats what its needed for, But with it getting to the point of me only being able to work under safe mode, I've run out of options!
    From what I know, someting under normal boot conditions is causing the issue, a kext maybe, but I've no idea on which one is causing the issue.
    Even if i can get it working with something disabled/removed it's fine, But Photoshop, Illustrator and Indesign are my work, and without being able to use them i'm pretty much limited!
    I've obviously tried resetting the SMC/PRAM again, no changes, I've changed the RAM, bought new, swapped out, Nothing no changes.
    The system is currently running 10.8.3.
    One thing i did notice, is that the system often lasts longer before it hangs under the 64 Bit Kernel, rather than the 32 Bit Kernel (Not sure if thats expected or not but thought it would be worth a mention)
    Thanks for all and any advice given in advance!
    Ethan.

    Hey,
    Sorry for a delay in reply!
    Well no, i never solved it, I've since stripped the machine and tried to see whats going on, and everything seems perfect.
    A company has suggested its the graphics chip, and has offered to re-ball it, but i'm not sure on that yet.
    But to add injurt to insult, hald of my display is now flickering every half hour or so.
    I think i'm at a loss with it.
    Only thing its being used for now is a Target Display Mode for a Mac Mini, which ironically works perfectly, and the hard drive is set up as a shared drive, So it's just a really expensive screen!
    Ethan.

  • Macbook pro freezes with purple pixels

    My macbook doesn't want to boot up. I just get the apple with the rotating wheel that goes on for about 60 seconds. Then it either freezes or magically goes to the desktop. If it does get past the freezing spin wheel to the desktop, I have only a matter of time before these crazy purple pixels just flood about a nice portion of the screen. Once I see the random purple pixels there is nothing I can do to get rid of it, It just freezes and I have to shut it down with the power button. I got the computer in 2008 so I don't know if it's dying from old age or maybe it's a virus. It's really frustrating.

    There aren't any Mac viruses.

    Powerbooks are not MacBooks and MacBook are not MacBook Pros.  Look under the screen, what you have there is the machine you actually have.  See if one of these programs applies:

  • Blue/Purple pixelated apple logo followed by a white screen?

    After a system update I was checking some e-mail when my screen turned white.  Restarted via holding the powerbutton down for 10 seconds and when it restarted the Blue/Purple Pixelated  logo loaded up then the screen flickers black followed by a white screen. I have read over the forums about the matter but many of the white screens of death were of a different manner.  Im in a bit of a panic due to some deadlines has anyone else had this issue.   

    You can try SMC and PRAM resets:

  • I have iphone 4 . I don't know how that happened that  the normal color  on all icons changed ( for example, normally green color phone icon is now purple color ) and photo pictures turned negative ( ghost-like ). Your help will be appreciated .

    Hi kshieh
    You can try two possible steps:-
    1]Triple click the home button.  You should get an accessibility menu.deselect the negative/black and white option.
    2]Go to settings->General->accessibility->and deselect invert colours.
    That should fix it

  • Crazy purple pixels cant tell if hardware or software.

    just out of nowhere pixels on my screen turn purple. when im watching somthing with video you can really see how the pixels bounce around (lines, blurryness). i archived and installed, same issue. it just seems to turn whole shapes purple somtimes. Like when i start up the apple logo is purple....
    should i try erase and install?
    i think its the video card. there is no damage to the LCD at all.
    if i take a screenshot and veiw the screenshot on another computer and it looks the same, that means it is somthing internal and not the actual lcd right?
    im really worried, never had any troubles with my baby before.

    Theo, Welcome to the discussion area!

  • How can i find out what color is a certain pixel in a picture file?

    Do any of you know if there is some command that returns the color of a pixel in RGB format or something from a picture file?

    I think the best way to find pixel RGB from a an image is to use extension of java.awt.RGBImageFilter
    Load the picture file as java.awt.Image and apply that Filter you can easily get the RGB of your desired pixel
    Replies and queries are greatly appreciated
    Ejaz Hussain
    class ColorFilter extends RGBImageFilter{
    public ColorFilter() {
    //whether or not to apply the color filtering
    canFilterIndexColorModel = true;
    public int filterRGB(int x, int y, int rgb) {
    //just store the RGB of your desired pixel at any x,y
    return rgb;

  • Computer issue - green/purple pixels in videos before and after rendering and bios shutdown

    I built a new desktop for editing video during the summer.  In the past week or two I've encountered some serious issues.
    Ex. A:  http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8476/8374160517_0bb791f218_c.jpg
    While  editing in Premiere or AE CS6 I've been getting these weird lines appear randomly.  If I close the program and re-open it, it'll disappear, and sometimes reappear at another point in the timeline. Really strange.  I also have active backgrounds enabled and green or purple patches of pixels will sometimes appear.  If I tell windows to go to the next background, the pixels usually go back to normal.
    BIOS blue screen shutdown
    I  could be watching vimeo or youtube or doing video editing and suddenly  get a shut down error.  It also happened while playing the CRYSIS demo,  although I had a perfectly smooth experience until that happened.
    Here are my specs:
    Windows 7 home premium
    MSI 7751 mobo
    Intel i7-3770S 3.10GHz
    16GB G.Skills Ripjaw RAM
    NVIDIA 560 Ti 1GB
    500w PSU corsair
    WD 1TB caviar black HD
    Asus xonar audio card
    128 GB sandisk SSD
    Do  you guys think this is a graphics card or PSU issue?  My computer is next to a metal cabinet, but has plenty of room for air ventilation. The graphics card and CPU temps have generally been between 30-40 degrees  Celsius, and always under 50 C (even when rendering), so I doubt overheating is an issue.   Checked with HWMonitor.

    My best GUESS is that you have a power supply problem

    According to some notes I made http://www.pacifier.com/~jtsmith/GPU.HTM the 560Ti draws 170 watts
    Use the Power supply calculator http://extreme.outervision.com/index.jsp (the PRO version has more options) to determine your power supply needs
    Even if the calculator says you are "somewhere" under 500 watts, you MAY simply have a "weak" power supply

  • The top button on my iphone 5 stopped working recently.. Well it works but barely at all if every. Most of the time it only locks the screen if I click on the left side of the button. Also my Camera causes a blue pixelated spot on pictures I take.

    The top button on my phone recently stopped working. Well sometimes. Majority of the time if I click it hard enough on the left side of the button it will lock the screen... Otherwise it doesnt work at all anymore. Also the camera appears to be placing a blue pixel on pictures I take. Its annoying. What should I do?

    It's completely situational. Without being able to directly compare the "scratch" on the original poster's iPhone with your iPhone, what gaamcc had happen could not be extrapolated to guess what Apple may do in your situation. It will depend entirely on what the Apple technician diagnoses after examining your iPhone. He/she may decide that any damage is strictly cosmetic and didn't have any connection with the problem you're taking your iPhone in for, or he/she may diagnose the problem as stemming from user damage. You'll just have to see when you go to the Apple Store.

  • Is there a class to return the r, g, b value of pixels in a picture

    Hi, there
    Is there a class to return an array of the R, G & B value of the pixels in a specified picture respectively. This picture is loaded from a file in jpg or gif format.
    Thanks in advance.
