Scanned b/w photos turning red in iphoto

I scanned in some old b/w photos into iphoto. They appear to be fine, but if I make any changes to them, such as cropping them, the photo turns red. How can I stop this? Thanks

IPhoto does not support gray scale. You must use RGB (sRGB) is recommended
Rescan with a color profile or export and change to sRGB and import

    Why do my scanned photos turn red when I try to edit them in IPhoto?

    Assuming these are Black and white, iPhoto still needs an RGB colorspace assigned, it can't work with images that are in B&W colorspace.
    Scan in color and de-saturate in iPhoto, if required.

  • All my raw photos turn red.

    Yesterday, all my raw photos turn red, first in aperture and then also in the preview.
    The first photo was converted whith Nikon software (View NX2) the second whith preview, I get the same problem whith Aperture and iPhoto.
    This photo is from 2011 and it was fine until yesterday.

    The 4.08 Raw Camera bundle update that was released a few days ago is causing problems for Nikon users. Until Apple issues an update to fix this roll back to 4.07
    Search here for many posts describing this and how to roll back.

  • Photos turning red with Ken Burns

    When I apply Ken Burns effect, the photos turn red. Like a transparent layer of red overlay on top of the photo.
    any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
    I formatted them in a jpg format.

    I know this has never happened to anyone other than me.
    Open Mouth. Insert Foot
    I learned what I was doing wrong, and now realize what a marvelouse piece of software iMovie and iDVD really are.
    absouletly STUNNING. Breathtaking craftsmanship they have performed.
    Well, I'm going to crawl back into my hole.

  • Black and white photos turning red

    I've scanned some black and white negatives and have the jpegs in my iPhoto libray. After I've edited my photos and view them, they turn red. In the thumbnail they are OK, but when I view them in a full size picture they are red. How can I get them to display in the normal B&W?

    Make sure they have an RGB colour profile. iPhoto supports RGB - it's what camera's shoot in.

  • Photos turn red??!!

    I went to scan some images on a windows computer. I wrote them to a cd, and then went home. The photos were saved in .psd from photoshop. When i got home i tried to use the photos in a movie, one photo worked. Then all the photos i tried to use turned red as if i had used a red filer, but I hadn't. I converted the files to .jpg and still no change.
    Any help would very much appreciated

    Welcome to iMovie Discussions.
    It's always best to browse (..'Search'..) through old questions and answers first, as there's the - usually very great - chance that someone else's had a similar problem, and the answer's already been given.
    Anyway, this sounded familiar, so here's Karl's reply in this earlier thread.. (Just click on that coloured link..)
    (..And here's another similar question - and answer..)
    [I also seem to remember that something can go wrong with colours after (during?) applying a title, or having a solid-colour "slug" between clips, and that then that colour persists ..but perhaps that's just a problem with titles. If you haven't applied any over your photos, then that's just a ..erm.. 'red herring'..]

  • I am scanning black/white photos and making a few adjustments - retouching and cropping.  The photos then turn red.  Why?

    I am scanning black/white photos and making a few adjustments - retouching and cropping.  Some (only some) of the photos turn red. Why and what do I do to correct this problem?

    This is because we've scanned the photo's using grey scale. 
    Through further searching I found a solution thanks to Terence.  You can convert your already scanned photos to the required sRGB format by doing the following:
    Open Automator.  Select your photo's that need converting from the file and drop into Automator.
    You can create an Automtor workflow to assign an sRGB profile to images.
    The variable you want is 'Apply ColorSync Profile' to images and then select sRGB from the drop down.
    Hope this helps! 

  • Why are my scanned images turning red when put in a slideshow or iMovie?

    Why are my photos turning red when put in a slideshow?

    Can you start a new document and then load one of the duotones known to be good in the working file and have it correct? If so, try one of the duotones known to be bad in the working document in the new file. Does it work?
    If no to either suggestion, can you share one of the images known to be good and one known to be bad? ZIP 'em up and upload to dropbox and plop a link here. Or, to keep the file sizes down, you can quickly make a new set and provide those.
    As well, the ID version and OS info would probably be helpful.
    Take care, Mike

  • Pics turn red when ken burns is turned on

    hi i was just editing a slideshow im making and when i added the ken burns effect all my photos turned red and stayed that way i was wondering how to get rid of this

    I had this problem with red tinted photographs and found it was only those pictures saved in bitmap. After converting the pictures to jpeg things seemed to work just fine.
    Hope this helps.

  • I turned on icloud and all my photos from my mac iphoto are gone.  Where did they go and how to get them back in iPhoto

    All of my photos are missing from Iphoto on my mac.  I have turned on icloud however my iphone photos are not on my ipad or imac either.  Help.

    Do you still see your photos, when you launch iPhoto and not Photos?
    Where did you keep your iPhoto Library? In your Pictures folder, as is the default? Or on an external drive?
    Look in the folder with your iPhoto Library.
    You should be seeing two libraries, if you already let Photos upgrade the iPhoto Library:
    Your iPhoto Library, now called .migratedphotolibrary
    and the new Photos library:
    are the libraries there? and how large are they?

  • I scanned an old photo but the date displayed is today, I want the date to be the date the photo was taken.  How do I change the date of the photo in iPhoto 11?

    I scanned an old photo but the date displayed is today, I want the date to be the date the photo was taken.  How do I change the date of the photo in iPhoto 11?

    There are two kinds of metadata involved when you consider jpeg or other image file.
    One is the file data. This is what the Finder shows. This tells you nothing about the contents of the file, just the File itself.
    The problem with File metadata is that it can easily change as the file is moved from place to place or exported, e-mailed, uploaded etc.
    Photographs have also got both Exif and IPTC metadata. The date and time that your camera snapped the Photograph is recorded in the Exif metadata. Regardless if what the file date says, this is the actual time recorded by the camera.
    Photo applications like iPhoto, Aperture, Lightroom, Picasa, Photoshop etc get their date and time from the Exif metadata.
    When you export from iPhoto to the Finder new file is created containing your Photo (and its Exif). The File date is - quite accurately - reported as the date of Export.
    However, the Photo Date doesn't change.
    The problem is that the Finder doesn't work with Exif.
    So, your photo has the correct date, and so does the file, but they are different things. To sort on the Photo date you'll need to use a photo app.

  • I tried to import 2 photos from an email. The photos are now on iPhoto, however, when I try to close iPhoto or turn off my computer, I get a notice that says, "Photos are being imported to the photo library. Please wait for the import to complete."

    I tried to import 2 photos from an email to iphoto. The photos now appear in iphoto as the latest imports, However, when I try to close iphoto or log off of my computer, I get a message box that says, " Photos are being imported to the photo library. Please wait for the import to complete."
    I can't get out of iphoto or log off of my computer, or turn the computer off. How do I stop the import or log out of iphoto???

    Try Force-quit from the Apple-menu to close iPhoto.

    Why aren't my scanned photos showing up in iphoto? I have an HP scanner with the option to import directly to iphoto. It says "sending to destination" but it never gets to iphoto. I scanned hundreds of photos several months and it worked fine with the photos going directly into iphoto - now it won't work. Any suggestions?

    As the feature is part of your scanner set up nd not iPhoto, you'd need to ask the makers of that for help.

  • IPhoto photos into iMovie - once rendered, photo turns black

    I posted under another thread, but decided this might be better posted to the larger group.
    I was working off of an external harddrive when the problem first manifested itself. Dragging a photo from the media pane into the time clip, I saw that the photo turned black and would not display after being rendered.
    I moved the drive to another Mac, also an iMac G4 but with a faster processor, and a slightly different experience occurred. Upon starting up the project, when I clicked yes to view the trash, the photos I had been trying to use were no in the trast.
    I put a few back and tried to apply the effects, but then the photo turned black. then I grabbed a photo from iPhoto again. The photo would show up but the Ken Burns effect would not stick. If it did stick, the photo turned black and wouldn't display. I saved and quit.
    Took my external harddrive to my Powerbook. Had better luck grabbing photos from iPhoto, but no Ken Burns effects worked.
    Now I'm back on my original iMac. This time I copied the project to the iMac's harddrive. Now there is another experience - a little closer to what I want but still not what I'm used to:
    I added the photo to the timeline, it rendered itself to black again. Much frustrated sighing.
    However, I had added some music to the timeline in the interim periods and just decided to view what I had. Lo and behold the black photo displayed with the Ken Burns effect. I added a couple more photos and they began to behave as they always have. You can see the photo in the time line. The black one is still black.
    All this is quite unsettling. I plan on doing a project with 60 students in October and need to know if anyone thinks this is a bug or what? Thanks for any insight.

    I am having the same problem images turning black when brought into the timeline Started when bringing in Photos from APERTURE 1.5. Thought this program was the problem so, I imported the same images into iPhoto. The problem does seem to "fix" when transitions are added , but this makes it difficult to edit and rearrange images. The hard drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (journaled). Shooting a Nikon D-70; D-200. Images a 2 - 5MG. Most confusing it is not consistent happens to some images and not others. Same problem happened when images were imported to iMovie.
    ANY SUGGESTIONS MOST APPRECIATED, TRYING TO COMPLETE A BIG PROJECT THIS WEEK.
    THANK YOU
