Red eye function not working correctly - big black spot

On my old mac I never had a problem with this feature. Now, when I hit the red eye button, a green dot appears on the icon and I get the croos hairs on the screen. I select the eye to change and it leaves a huge black/grey spot round the eye. Looks like an ink spot and it's quite large. What is going on here? Thanks

Judy:
To get closer just move the slider at the bottom to the right. Then you'll need to hold down the space bar to drag the picture till the area you want is in view.
Regarding the green dot, that's a new one. Try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that's in your User/Library/Preferences folder. Also emptying the User/Library/Caches/iPhoto folder wouldn't hurt either.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Red Eye Removal not working properly

    I'm having a problem with the red eye tool. I've done a search of this problem which returned no results.
    I have three similar photographs, i.e, taken a few seconds a part at a wedding ceremony. I've corrected the red eye problem on the first file. However, the red eye "dots" REMAIN when I switch to the next files. If I select the red eye tool, I even get the location ovals overlaying the new picture.
    Bug?

    How about Evil Eye? 8-}
    Actually I've had the same problem with Red Eye Removal not working properly. Problem is intermittent and the eye was for sure red.

  • Red Eye Removal not working

    I am using 1.3.1 and started out using the original version of lightroom that was released. I have really enjoyed lightroom. However, the red eye removal tool which worked when I started using lightroom is no longer working. I am having to pull all red eye corrections into "Elements" and that is annoying. When I select the red eye tool and click on the red eye all I get is a beep. I have tried clicking and dragging to select the exact size and that does not work either, just a beep. Does anyone have an answer to my problem?

  • Red eye tool not working

    Since I reinstalled Aperture 3 on my new iMac, I cannot get the red eye tool to work. I get the circles around the eyes, but nothing happens... I looked for settings or something, but found nothing to solve my problem...

    Yes, I am using the right tool. I have been using this tool in Aperture for a long time. In fact, it works fine on my older iMac. I imported the same photo in both iMacs. It corrects fine on my old iMac (2008), but it does nothing on my new 2013 iMac.
    Both are running the same version of Aperture (3.5) and both systems are also running on Mavericks.
    I noticed a difference in the build of the digital camera RAW, but I would be surprised that that would influence a feature like the red eye tool...

  • Brush function not working correctly PS Elements 11 for Mac

    The brush is not working correctly in that I cannot drag the brush.  It allows only spot healing, not dragging the brush.  Didn't use to have this problem.  Now do.  Not sure what has changed.  Thank you!

    Is this happening after upgrading to Yosemite?
    If yes, please see:

  • Red Eye reduction not working

    Iphoto 11
    Red eye reduction does not work, auto is not selectable and circling eye and clikcingh does do anything.
    I have trashed the plist file, repaired permissions and rebuilt the iphoto database. Nothing fixed the problem.
    ANy other ideas I can try ?
    all software updates applied , 10.7.3

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) 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?

    Hi,
    Another quick question if people don't mind. Bit confused about the trunc date function. I'm following the sql fundamentals exam guide and using their examples:
    select trunc(to_date('02-jun-2009 13:00','dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi')) day from dual;
    this returns the 2nd of june, as it should, because, as far as i'm aware, leaving the optional variable out defaults the precision to 'day'. but when i explicitly add the variable 'day', as the guide has done with 'week' 'month' and 'year' in the following examples (so i assume this format is correct rather than dd/mon/yyyy), something goes wrong:
    select trunc(to_date('02-jun-2009 13:00','dd-mon-yyyy' hh24:mi'), 'day') day from dual;
    this returns the 31st of may. which is incorrect.
    however replacing 'day' with 'dd' provides the correct answer of the 2nd again.
    this isn't a major issue, it just bothers me that the guide seems (again) to be mistaken, something that is rapidly becoming a trend in their examples. i'd also quite like to know why this is happening, as it will help improve my understanding of sql in general - perhaps there is some sort of default to allow the correct use of the variable 'day' i'm overlooking and that the guide hasn't made clear.
    btw, i'm working in sqlplus - although developer has some odd results too.
    thanks alot,
    nick'day' doesn't trunc to the beginning of the day. It truncates to the first day of the week: in your case 31st May.
    'ddd' truncates to the beginning of the day.
    So, leaving the second parameter out defaults to 'ddd' not 'day'.

  • Wireless Function Not Working Correctly

    When I try to print wirelessly, it prints 2-3 pages and then quits printing, often right in the middle of a page, and tells me there was a printing error. When I print through a cable, it works perfectly. The printer is about 13 feet away from the internet router and not plugged into the router.  It is plugged via USB into a desktop computer running Windows 7 32-bit.

    Hi @Musicrafter , and welcome to the HP Forums!
    I see you're experiencing connectivity issues.  I would like to try and help!
    I would recommend performing a power reset.   Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
    I'd also suggest this document on Wireless printing center Troubleshooting Issues.
    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

  • Playlist function not working correctly

    I have an Ipod nano 4th generation, it works fine in every way it is supposed to except when it come to the playlist function. When ever a song is selected from a list of songs or an artist/album list containing 10+ or so songs it does not add the selected son go to the on the go playlist on the ipod. Instead it adds a completely random song from the list with no logic to the song it picks. Does anyone else have this problem or know how to solve it? I have sent one Ipod away to be fixed but the replacement appears to have the same problem. Is this an issue with all 4th generation nanos or am I just rather unfortunate? if it is a recurring issue have apple acknowledged it/done anything about it?

    Because you have uploaded the files with the iWeb FTP, the folder of files created by iWeb - southcoasttv - has been uploaded along with the index.html file. Therefore the URL has the folder name in it and this is normal.
    You can change it if you want but you need to use an FTP application to upload the files rather than the whole folder....

  • DW logout function not working correctly

    I have CS4 on Vista ultimate.  I am using WAMP for testing.
    In DW, I clicked on the menus to make a logout page.  To test it I logged in as a user in one window(FF) and opened another one and logged in as a different user... When I hit the logout button on one, it logged out both users....
    How can this be that everyone gets logged out by one?  I have used dw's login and logout functionality and have not changed either...
    any ideas?

    You say that session objects are shared between all browser window/tab instances.... Those are 2 different things... tabs are in windows...Open a new window and it should be unrelated to the others....
    isnt each session id for each window unique?
    I have 2 different FF windows open, each logged in as a different user, log out one, the other is logged out as well....
    But, since your post I tested with IE and FF and then it works how its supposed to, only one is logged out...
    I understand how sessions work but thought that each window had it own unique session id, especially for different users.... I guess thats only true on two DIFFERENT browser windows... weird....
    seems like it should not be that way, but it is... so oh well, I guess thats not a real problem, just seemed like one.  Thanks.

  • A PDF function not working correctly in Pro and Reader

    Here is more information from the field staff who informed me of the issue:
    As far as adding pictures to Live Cycle form.
    When field personnel entering the inspection data into the form, if it opens in Reader, they cannot add a photo by clicking on the “paperclip” in the lower left of the form.   The “Add” button is not there.  The can add an image in the field in the form, but I cannot get it out of the form to put into the database…you cannot manipulate the image at all once it is in the field area of the form.  No right click to copy, cut or delete.
    In Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, you can click on the paperclip, add an image file, BUT cannot right click on file to copy elsewhere..which is what I would want to see us be able to do.  I have to save the file as something else, then put it in my database…I don’t want to have to save it as something else due to our numbering system that we are using to file these…A HUGE HEADACHE..
    IF I try to add an image directly to the field in the form, once it is there, you cannot right click to delete it (copy it, cut it)..you cannot get rid of it…only “replace” it with another image….not exactly user friendly if you attach a photo by mistake…
    those are the issues I have with the live cycle form.  we are working on trying to get the information dumped directly into a database, if there are instructions on doing that I would like to have those.  It would save me a lot of time and effort.

  • Search function not working correctly

    I have a problem searching in a specific document. For some reason, the search function only seems to sift through certain fonts, or types of text. The main text is not included in the search, but rather only (for example) the Table of Contents and some "examples" (in a special font) in the text. Everything else is omitted.
    When I copy/paste the main text, it's pasted as a strange code in this fashion, despite the fact that it's quite readable in it's original form:
    äíÉí=áåíÉ=Ü~ê=Ñí
    This is probably the reason why Search can't find terms in the main text, as searchable text looks quite right when copy/pasted. But how can I solve the problem?
    Thanks!
    David

    Did you check under the file Properties to see if the fonts are embedded? If they are not, you can reembed the fonts if you have Acrobat Pro using the Preflight tools.

  • Javascript sort() function not working correctly

    I have an image gallery that automatically loads via a PHP readdir function which populates an array, and then I have a Javascript sort() function which sorts the images in order numerically. In Chrome and Safari, the images display as numbered in the directory. However, in Firefox and Internet Explorer, they display out of order (firefox) and not at all (ie). Here is the code for the php file: <?
    Header("content-type: application/x-javascript");
    function returnimages($dirname=".") {
    $pattern="(\.jpg$)|(\.png$)|(\.jpeg$)|(\.gif$)";
    $files = array();
    $curimage=0;
    if($handle = opendir($dirname)) {
    while(false !== ($file = readdir($handle))){
    $file = basename($file,".jpg");
    echo 'myImg['.$curimage.']="'.$file .'";';
    $curimage++;
    closedir($handle);
    return($files);
    echo 'var myImg=new Array();';
    returnimages()
    ?>
    and here is the code for the javascript sort:
    function sortNumber(a,b)
    return a - b;
    myImg.sort(sortNumber);
    // Tell browser the type of file
    myImgEnd = ".jpg";
    var i = 0;
    // Create function to load image
    function loadImg(){
    document.imgSrc.src = myImg[i] + myImgEnd;
    Any ideas as to why Firefox is behaving this way?

    After you check the box to sort on the column, are you making sure to select a sort order for the same column?
