Resaved PS colour images appear 'Negative' in Windows Explorer

Hello,
Bit of background info:
I have just purchased a new Acer and 23" Samsung monitor last week. This morning Windows did an update and I noticed when I opened PhotoShop, the message 'Samsung - Natural Color Pro 1.0 ICM" appears defective'. I have googled a few fixes and tried various new color profiles (Adobe RGB) etc, which will get rid of the message, but I am stuck with an odd problem...
In Windows Explorer, every new colour image I open and resave in PhotoShop looks like a coloured negative?For example, a picture with a girl and red background will have the girl's skin look black/grey and the red background look aqua.
Previous images look normal and I seem to be able to resave greyscale images too. When I open the strange looking image in photoshop it is fine.
Any help appreciated.
Specs:
Windows 7
NVidia GeForce GT320 1024mb
Adobe CS3

Thanks for your response.
I have tried to reinstall the Samsung driver from the disk and also the Nvidia drivers from their website (tried reinstalling the new one and also using an archived version) but no luck.
I have also noticed that if I copy/paste an image in Windows Explorer, I get the same result with the new image looking like a coloured negative.
Very frustrating as this machine is 2 weeks old.
Do you perhaps have any other suggestions?

Wrong images appearing in project window / timeline

I'm doing a SIMPLE slideshow project for a frient. I've got a file folder of images that I imported into CS5. In the timeline the correct images are not appearing when placed from the timeline. Even in the Project folder most of the images are not what they are in explorer. Most, when opened in the Source Monitor are the correct image, even though the wrong image is appearing on the timeline, but even there many are not correct. What is happening is that the image of about 15 of the 105 imported images are appearing in the place of all of the other images. It's like something is cached, and the appropriate linkages aren't being made.
What's even more frustrating is that the ONLY effect applied to all of the impages is Scale to Frame. There are no transistion. Nothing.
What simple solution is there for images not importing into CS5 correctly?
ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for that suggestion. It DOES work! However, it is time consuming since I'm working with over 1,000 images. Instead, I was able to discover the following solution:
The culprit was the magic checkbox under Edit -> Preferences -> Media for "Write XMP ID to Files on Import." This setting writes a GUID to all media imported into Premiere for use with all Adobe apps. I actually found the reference to it in an After Effects forum. I didn't fully understand exactly why this is useful when I'm only working with still images. My guess is that somehow these GUIDs became crossed over.
I disabled this checkbox, deleted all references to the affected media, and deleted all cache files, including all files under C:\Users\Username\AppData\Adobe\Common\Media Cache. I then reimported the originals of my source files from my network attached storage (SO thankful that I moved them offline without touching them). Viola! Everything works.
It was critical that I made copies of all of my data to my NAS. Adobe actually writes this GUID for the XMP ID to the file itself, which changes the modification date of the actual file. So, I guess the error will follow the file wherever it goes (in an Adobe application) unless it's resaved in PhotoShop to correct the error. Luckily, the files on my NAS were untouched by Adobe, since I made copies to work with locally. Only the local files were affected. Once I disabled the checkbox, then Adobe no longer attempts to modify files on import and leaves them intact.

Hp TrueVision HD web cam does not work. The light will come on but no image appears in the window.

Hi.
I have an HP Pavilion dv7 6178us Entertainment PC I just bought it last week. My operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 64 bits.
The problem I have is that yesterday I install Skype in the computer and realized that the HP TrueVision HD web cam does not work. The light right next to the web cam will light up but no image will appear on the screen.
I have checked the software that I have in the computer for the webcam and the program is CyberLink YouCam BE version 3.5.
But the web cam does not work. The light right next to it will turn on when I activate Cyberlink, Skype or Messenger but no actual image will come out in computer screen. The computer is fully updated BIOS, Windows 7 and HP.
But the web cam is not working. Could you help me fix this problem?
Best regards:

I have a pavilion dv6 notepad. it's about a year old.
about a month ago internal webcam truevision hd stop working.
Called hp tech. they sent a box for me to ship the laptop.
they hp tech attempted to correct the problem via internet
did not work.
wanted me to do a restore to factory setting i stopped him there.
Webcam detected in device manager.
the webcam light come on but no image.
I actually see the back drop through the image space.
running windows 7, fully updated.
I found many comments on the web about the webcam connector disconnecting.
But if it was the case with my computer, the webcam would not be detected.
Many other comments suggests to do a restore to factory setting but \i read also that
does not work often.
I read many comments where disappointed clients believe hp should update
the software but the driver is actually microsoft dating back to june 2006.
Is it possible it's a hardware problem, ie webcam is burned out.
I have received a box to sent it and know they will do a system restore.
Don't feel to go that way.
Many comments refers to hp making an effort to get a driver update.
ps I decided to purchase a logitech webcam, works perfectly.
What else can I do to fix this problem.
Can hp send me another internal webcam.

Export function crashes Windows Explorer or at least the exported images do.

This is the first time that I have used the Export function since upgrading to version 2 so believe that it is tied in with the upgrade somehow.
When I choose an image > Export > Temp folder on the Desktop the image does indeed appear in the temp folder. Double clicking on the folder displays the contents and so long as I take no further action nothing more happens. However, as soon as I move the mouse over the image icon this causes Windows Explorer to crash.
With LR closed down, I navigate to the folder where the image is located and by right-clicking > copy I then save a copy to another temporary folder on the desktop. Moving the mouse over the image icon does NOT this time cause Windows Explorer to crash.
I have tried the Export function with RAW, DNG and JPG files to see if the problem was related to any one particular file or file format but it makes no difference - the same problem as described above occurs.
Has anyone else experienced this or can advise on how to possibly isolate this problem?
Windows XP2 SP3

Thanks for that John. Having done as you suggested, the problem appears to be with a dll file associated with another application I used for displaying cr2 and crw thumbnails in Windows Explorer. In the applications (dpMagic) preferences if I uncheck jpg and jpeg from the file associations Windows Explorer does not crash following Export from Lightroom and in this situation, double-clicking on the exported jpg/jpeg file now results in it opening in Windows Fax and Picture Viewer.
Even uninstalling the application followed by manually searching for any trace of remaining files prior to a fresh install does not cure the problem and I suspect that not all files from this application are being removed.
Anyway, I have now emailed dpMagic support for advice but am happy that the cause of this crash does not now appear to lie with Lightroom.
Thanks again for your advice, regards and have a nice day.

TS1567 iPhone not appearing as disk in Windows Explorer when connected by USB cable

I've had my Samsung Ultrabook with Windows 8 (NOT Metro) for months, and I've never had a problem when connecting my iPhone to it via the Apple USB cable. When thus connected, the iPhone has always appeared correctly in Windows Explorer as an available disk, and I'm able to transfer pictures from the iPhone to another disk on my Ultrabook.
This morning, for some mysterious reason (no new apps on the phone and no new applicationson the Ultrabook; no 'accidental drops'; no new drivers or updates), even when I connect the iPhone to my Ultrabook via its Apple USB cable, it does NOT appear in the Windows Explorer window. When the USB cable is first connection, the audible tone indicating the connection is heard, and it DOES appear in iTunes. It simply does not appear in Windows Explorer.
I have already (a) stopped and restarted the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver, (b) checked for any available driver updates, (c) started, stopped, and restarted iTunes (NOTE: The iPhone DOES appear in iTunes when it is connected via the USB cable; it simply doesn't appear in Windows Explorer as an available disk); (d) stopped, then started the Service.
What should I try next?

I'm no sure this is still the case but it used to be (an older version of iOS and Windows 7) that the iPhone would not appear in Windows Explorer if there were no pictures in the Camera Roll (I think the logic being that the only thing you can do with the iPhone/Windows Explorer combination is import photos from the Camera Roll). If your Camera Roll is empty, try taking one picture and see if it then appears. I suspect this isn't your problem since the probable reason you are even trying to connect the two is to import photos -- but just in case.

Ifs 'o' drive not visible in windows explorer(WinXP)

Hi,
The 'o' drive does not appear in the windows explorer. I have installed version 2.0.1 on windows xp with oracle 9i.I have checked the node log, it says that the ntfs server has started successfully, but I find the drive anywhere.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Kashif,
9iFS 9.0.1 has not been certified with XP. Pleasae try to use a certified Windows client and let me know if you still have the problem.

Seeing sharepoint drive in windows explorer

I have a records management client who wish to redo their file plan. Currently they have a sharepoint subsite with each top level folder set up as a separate library ( not sure why they did it this way). They can see each of these libraries in windows exporer.
This is not using explorer view but actually going to windows explorer.
They do not have the sharepoint ribbon showing and have never seen this and do not know that it exists.
After working out the new classification scheme I now need to set it up in Sharepoint in exactly the way that the old one is. They do not want any changes.
I have created the Subsite and the libraries, but don't know how to make this new subsite and 9 libraries appear in their windows explorer.
Their IT people (who are not particularly familiar with the workings of sharepoint) say they need a sharepoint guru to come in and make connections at the back end. Does this sound right? It sounds wrong to me. It should be easy to do if you just know how
to do it.
I also have to make the left hand side of the screen where the quicklaunch area and the hierarchy is to look the same ie. nothing at all in there except their 9 libraries, that will expand in the same way that windows explorer does.
They don't really need sharepoint as they don't use any of the sharepoint functionality and don't want to, but that is what they are using and wish to continue with as they also have a separate subsite for their library.
Any advice greatfully received.

That does seem to be what they wanted. I have done it and we can see all the folders there now. I am still puzzled by the person who originally set this all up for them making each top level folder a separate library because to change library
settings you have to do it 10 times instead of once.
Is it correct that if I open a document in sharepoint (with major versioning enabled) and save it perhaps 5 times as I work on it, that it will save the document as 5 separate documents even though we only see the latest and thus taking up a lot of hard
disc space. Compared with checking out the document, working on it locally and then checking it in at which time it would create a new version and in this case there would only be 2 versions taking up hard disc space.
Thank you both very much for responding. Much appreciated.

Imported B&W NEF images appear as colour when opened!

Odd one here. Have searched the forum but while there are some B&W issues discussed, nothing matches this one.
OS X 10.6.4, iphoto '09 build (8.1.2). Camera Nikon D90 using NEF images. Camera set to take B&W. Camera is using Colour Profile Adobe RGB 1998.
Camera takes B&W photos. I can see this in the LCD viewer. I can also see B&W thumbnails of the images via Finder when looking directly into the SD card.
Then I open iPhoto, select the SD card and even iPhoto will display B&W thumbnails. So far so good.
Now I do the import into iPhoto, but then after the import is completed the thumbnail images display as colour images. Even when you open the image it displays in colour.
How can this be ?
Have not found anything specific to this particular issue on the 'net to date, Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks, I understand what you are saying.
The Nikon D90, has a Picture Control setting called Monochrome, This I thought, allows the shooter to take the picture in B&W, by doing an in-camera conversion from colour to B&W and stores the B&W image on the card. But then this doesn't explain why it opens in colour on OS X (??).
So more likely it as you say, the camera is taking and storing a colour image, but has a flag embedded in it to indicate it was 'shot' in B&W.
Oddly enough, under Windows XP using the free MS NEF viewer, the pictures do actually display in B&W ..thumbnails and when they are fully opened. I suspect then there is a bit or flag in the NEF processor in iPhoto 09 is not recognising and therefore shows the colour version. Does this make sense ?

Images appear fine in Photoshop cs6 and cc, but print too dark, and also show too dark in Windows picture viewer. How can I correct this? Is this a Photoshop setting issue or what?

Images appear fine in Photoshop cs6 and cc, but print too dark, and also show too dark in Windows picture viewer. How can I correct this? Is this a Photoshop setting issue or what?

Ok, look at your files in Photoshop. What is the profile assigned to them? You can find this out by going to the Status bar at the bottom, clicking on the right-pointing triangle and choosing document Profile from the list.
Then in Windows, go to your Control Panel > Color Management and add sRGB (if it isn't there) and select it as your default profile.
I hope that will work.

My HDV camera is recognised, but no image or data appears in log window?

I'm trying to download footage from my Sony HDV camera. FCStudio recognises the camera, device control works, but no data or image appears in the log and capture window. I've reinstalled FCP, trashed preferences, still doesn't work. Help please...

My camera HDVA1P is considered 'not supported' by apple, therefore inconsistent. That's why sometimes it downloads and sometimes not with FCStudio 5.1. I upgraded to OS10.4.8 and FCS5.1.2 and it seems to be downloading again. We will see how long it lasts. By the way, Apple Support was incapeable of giving me this simple solution because the list of cameras supported is North America-centric and does not list the PAL professional version of my camera. My camera salesman was able to tell me the equivilent that does appear in the list.

Why are some jpg images scrambled when they appear in my screen saver? The same images look fine in Preview and Finder. Some images appear scrambled in the screen saver 'preview' window and the actual screen saver. Other jpg images look fine.

The desktop image is fine, taken from the exact same pool of jpg photos. However, as soon as the slide show screen saver comes on, the images are scrambled. What is it about the apple screen saver algorithm that scrambles the pics?

Making pop-up image always appear within browser window

In my CS3 CSS site I want to have images which are only revealed when the user runs their mouse over a photo icon. I've worked out how to make the AP div, which contains the show-hide image, appear in the same position relative to the left margin of my text container div but can't seem to control where they are vertically. As they are absolutely positioned, I know that they will, in theory, always remain in the place where I have positioned them (although this appears to vary greatly from browser to browser) but this causes problems if, for example, I place them above the icon and the viewer happens to rollover the icon while it is near the top of their browser window - the photo can't be seen. Can I make the image's vertical position relative to the browser window, whatever its size, or make sure it always appears within the browser window?! I've tried setting margin top and bottom to auto but that doesn't seem to work in the same way that it does for margin right and left. An example is on this page http://www.ernestcooktrust.org.uk/Contact_biogs/biogs_trustees.html . At the moment the images are set to appear above the icon of the person they are referring to. Or is there a better way then show/hide AP divs to achieve this? Many thanks in advance for any (not too technical please) help.

No Video Images Appear In iMovie Import Window

My Vixia hv 30 mini DV is connected and recognized, and when I choose to import video manually, and hit the iMovie Import button, the video plays on the camera screen but not in the iMovie import window on my iMac. Nor does the counter move, although a large message in the iMovie window says "importing". The camera's counter in the upper right hand corner of the window counts off, but not the counter next to the controls at the bottom of the window. A file name is created in the Event Library, but there is nothing in the file when I click it.
I have tried importing segments of all sizes and lengths to see if there was an issue there but no video appears on the iMovie screen, and there is no message that thumbnails are being created.
I have watched tutorials online to see if I am missing something but I have found no answers. I was able to import a one-minute segment automatically a few days ago when I first got the camera, but now Automatic does not work. It begins to import, with no images appearing in the iMovie import window and no movement in the counter, then after a few seconds the "Importing" message changes to "Stopped"
In my 'Save To" window, it says I have "5.7GB free/25 min.)" on my Mac's HD.

I found that this was due to my tape having been recorded on an older DV camcorder rather than an HDV. You'd think either iMovie or the Canon Vixia would simply tell you that in plain language, rather than give you the kind of cryptic meaningless message that the camera displays.
If you have this problem, go into the camera menu and make sure the format —DV or HDV— matches the content on your tape.
