Strange images in finder

Curious thing happening this morning - when I choose cmd-tab to move though applications the image looks like this:
Everything else seems to be fine. Is this a harbinger of doom? (Looks very cool.)
I'm on a MacBook Pro, 10.7.2 (which has crashed twice now...), using a Dell external screen, but I get the same on my laptop screen.

Maybe the Dock Preference file did get corrupted during the crash.
Try to move the file
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist to the Desktop and log off and on again.
To open your hidden User Library got to the main Finder menu and press "GO", then hold down the option key until your Library appears in the drop down menu, select it.
Then navigate to Preferences and locate com.apple.dock.plist.
Remove it.
Good Luck

How do I delete images in Finder's "all my Files" when I have the same pictures in a file in Documents? It seems like a lot of duplication. If I delete the individual image it disappears in the folder. Thank You.

How do I delete images in Finder's "all my files" without deleting the images in a separate folder I have in Documents? It seems to be so much duplication. Just set up our new Mac and am not understanding how the files work. Thank you.

All My files is a "search folder"
it isn't real storage location. All files within your home folder are found by the criteria set for the search folder and displayed to you In one place.
If the folder doesn't meet your needs, remove it from the sidebar.

How to rotate a thumbnail image in Finder?

Is there a way to rotate a thumbnail image in Finder? When I click a photo in a Finder folder, the image automatically opens in Preview and the image is correctly displayed right side up. But the thumbnail image is displaying a vertical photo horizontally. Can I rotate the thumbnail?

corelle,
please open the sidebar of the Preview window and check how the thumbnail is displayed there.
If the orientation is wrong in the Preview sidebar as well, then apparently some program rotated the image but not the EXIF preview image, which is obviously not a good thing.
If the orientation is correct in the Preview sidebar, but wrong in the Finder, then the file probably has a custom icon with wrong orientation. This should then be removed rather than rotated. It's useless anyhow because Snow Leopard's Finder can better use the EXIF preview image instead.

I upgraded to Maverick O/S and I can no longer right click on iPhoto images to find my photo files. My photo files are not where they were before upgrade.

Have you checked the sorting settings to make sure they are as you expect?

RAW images in Lightroom aren't opening in camera raw in Photoshop. Instead, I have to open the image in Finder before it will open in Camera Raw in Photoshop. How can I correct that?

RAW images in Lightroom aren't opening in camera raw in Photoshop. Instead, I have to open the image in Finder before it will open in Camera Raw in Photoshop. How can I correct that?

Your question is a little unclear. In a "normal" Lightroom/Photoshop workflow the raw images do not open from Lightroom into Camera Raw. Lightroom has all of the Camera Raw functionality in the develop module. When you choose to open an image in Photoshop, and Lightroom and Photoshop are synchronized (i.e. referencing the same version of Camera Raw) then Camera Raw is simply used to interpret the Lightroom adjustments as the image is transferred to Photoshop. If Camera Raw is an older version then Lightroom offers you the choice to open the image or create a PSD or TIF file that includes all of the Lightroom adjustments. But in either case, opening in Camera Raw is not part of the workflow. It is possible to open the image as a smart object or convert the image to the smart object in Photoshop and then open it in Camera Raw. That is done from within Photoshop or is one of the open options in Lightroom. If you choose to go the smart object route the image first has to be opened in Photoshop and then from there you can open it in Camera Raw.

Lightroom 5.7.1, Yosemite OS X - Synchronise Folder function doesn't work in Lr.
Is there a compatibility issue? I can see the folders/images in Finder but when trying to synchronise folders in Lr it does not recognise that there are any images and therefore unable to import to catalogue. Anyone has any idea how to make it work. Thanks a lot.

Hi Elba,
Thank you very much for your reply. Not sure, however, that we are talking about the same problem.
I am trying to perform the same function in Lr that I have been doing for many years in the past and has only been a problem in the last few days (possibly coinciding with upgrading to Yosemite, trying to find out whether that is the problem)
I am not intending to sync any files with Creative Cloud but only trying to use 'Synchronize Folder' function in Lr. Normally, I would right click on a particular folder in Lr catalogue and click on that function to check that the Lr Catalogue is perfectly matching my drives where the original photos are actually stored.
The problem that I only started to encounter is that I can see the files on the actual drives but they do not appear in my Lr Catalogue and they are completely invisible to Lr. I simply can not get Lr to recognise them and then import them to catalogue.
If for example, I export images to Ps and then save and close them, they do appear on my drive but are invisible to Lr and I can't get them imported into the catalogue. Import to folder also not producing any results as they are still invisible to Lr.
Completely baffled by it. Any idea what could be the reason?
Kind regards,
Nik

When I import or drag/drop an image from Finder into Pages, it floats the image instead of keeping it inline with text

I'm new to Pages and I've searched online for an answer to this question but haven't found anything quite what I need.
When I import an image from Finder (or drag and drop from Finder) into Pages, the Text Wrap default is "automatic" which seems to be "in front of text." I have to manually click each image and then change it from "Automatic" to "Inline With Text." Is there a way to change the default so it's not "Automatic" but "Inline With Text" to save me these steps for every single image I import?
(If importing from Media Browser would behave differently, I don't use iPhoto except for Photo Stream so I need to bring them in from where I've saved them in my Finder.)
Thanks so much for any help!

Good questions... I'll have to try and figure out when the problem first happened - I was thinking it was when I upgraded to Safari 5.1.4 but that might not be the case... I'll try your suggestions to see if any of them eliminate the problem (I have restarted recenlty and that didn't fix it) but I'll try repairing permissions,etc. Thanks!
hmmm... Mcbuffy: are you implying that you *don't* get the webloc when dragging an image out of Safari and that this isn't a caused by change to Safari but is a big/conflict in mine?

Library image in finder

why this instead of my images in finder in picture file

I was unable to locate the image anywhere anyhow in library, using any sorting technique, but I was able to drag it to the desktop from finder>pictures>iphoto library and then drag to the library file in the iphoto application. Thanks so much for your help.

Strange image border / bright edges on full screen preview

Hi,
I'm getting strange image borders on full screen preview. I've taken a photo to show this effect. Its noticebly wider on the left and right edges compared to top and bottom. Anyone know how to turn this border off?
http://www.oriontransfer.co.nz/Projector/IMG_2307.jpg
I've often noticed it, but its become more of a problem because I've just bought a 720p projector to display some photographs. I think the low resolution exacerbates the problem.
Regards,
Samuel

I've added one more image of the top right hand corner. I've boosted the contrast to clearly show the problem. This problem is not just on the projector, it can also be seen on my new MacBook Pro LCD screen.

Strange images suddenly apprearing

Strange images.. A girl with bleeding teeth suddenly appeared in my gallery.
I dont have any idea how this photo can appear in my gallery.
did this happen before?

They may be images that were in web pages you visited, and got cached in the browser's cache. They could have been in areas of the page that you did not pay attention to, or did not scroll down to, so you would not necesarily remember them.
Does anyone else have access to your phone besides yourslef?

How to import a image and compare with another image to find their deviation

i am new to labview , can anyone tell how to import a image and compare it with another image to find their deviation
Solved!
Go to Solution.

This is an quite easy task using the Vision Development Module.
There you can acquire images from cameras or read them form the harddrive, then differntiate them or since VDM 2010 calculate the optical flow between consecutive images.

Where did I found the images in Finder?

For a while ago, I found some images in Finder of, among others; iPad, iMac Unibody, some MacBooks, etc. Now, I can't remember where I found them. Does anyone have experienced the same, and can tell me where in Finder they are?

You may have found them in the Resources folder of the CoreTypes.bundle. Take a look here:
/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle
Then right click on the bundle and select "Show Package Contents" and continue burrowing down. There are lots of icns graphics files for apple hardware. They will open in Preview when double clicked and you can resave them as jpegs to use somewhere else.

Cannot eject DMG images in Finder

I seem to be having this problem whereby I cannot seem to eject any DMG images via Finder. I can only eject them using the Disk Utility.
When click the eject button in Finder, nothing happens.
Anyone facing this problem?

Yep, this has been happening to me as well. Stubborn nagging mounted disk images (all of them) won't eject under any circumstances, unless I log out, reboot, or relaunch the finder. Actual mounted disks often seem to need to be ejected twice before they will go away...

How to see iPhoto images in finder?

How do I see iPhoto library images in Finder, and also how do I access iPhoto images to download them as album artwork in iTunes?

In general, you don't see the iPhoto images in the Finder. iPhoto replaces the Finder for everything you do with your images.
