I realy want a fix for this as most of my pictures become crap when i try to make something nice in photoshop !
thx for any reply and i hope i can finally fix this
greets

Please post images directly on this Forum (with the camera icon).
In which bit depth do you work (Image > Mode > … Bits/Channel)?
Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?

    Try the following:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup

  • Business trying to take product pictures, turning out dark

    Let me preface this by saying no one who works here has had experience with photography and any guidance would be much appreciated.
    We just got the Rebel t5i to help us get better pictures of our instruments and other merchandise for our website. I've spent 3 days reading about all the various settings of the camera (ISO, shutter speed, exposure, aperature, filters, lenses) and different lighting options.
    The set up we currently have is as follows:
    4 par 64 lighting cans with diffusing gels, (2 on an 10 ft. adjustable tree stand, the other 2 on individual adjustable stands) charcoal backdrop. It is important to note that we have this set up in a corner of the store so we're working with being able to light from the front, 1 side and above.
    We're having a few problems.
    (This is after much trial and error with settings. The best one I was able to find was on Manual mode, 1/250 shutter speed, f 5.6, iso 800, aeb exposure and tungsten filter to help with the yellowing due to the florescent light)
    1. We can't get the camera to produce an accrate color profile of the items consistently. In the first picture, you can see that the color is more yellow and it's even distorting around the edges. The second picture is more accurate in terms of what the color looks like in natural light but we were never able to get that when we were shooting the guitar closer up.
    2. For black guitars or guitars with black edges, we're losing the edges no matter what we try to do with the lighting.
    Do we need more light? or just the light we have being reflected better? different lense on the camera? Any advice would be seriously appreciated!
    Thanks in advance.

    Gels don't "diffuse" -- they merely change the color of the light.  Sometimes you change the color for an effect (e.g. light a neutral background with a colored "gel" and put a different light on the subject.
    For example... if your background were farther away and a neutral "white" then you could dedicate a light to the background with a colored gel so that the background color always complements the product color (complementary colors can usually be found by using a color wheel).  This basically gives you the ability to make your background any color you want without physically changing the background.
    Another good reason to put some distance between product and background is to create better separation of the product.  The edges of the product can now pick up reflections that you can control and you wont have a black against black problem that you're having here.  It also allows the background to fall outside the depth of field (the range at which things appear to be nicely focused) -- this allows you to deliberately blur the background and yet have a tack-sharp subject for even better subject isolation.
    I can see the shadows are casting hard edges on the background -- which isn't a good look.  When we talk about "diffusing" a light, what we really mean is that we make the shadows edges soft and gradual. If light originates from a pin-point source, you get a well-defined shadow.  It has a hard edge.  E.g. when you stand outside on a sunny day and look at your own shadow, you can see the shape of your body on the ground because that's considered a pin-point light source (the sun's angular diameter is only about 1/2º from edge to edge.)    If, on the other hand, you shoot the light through a very broad diffusing material (such as a "shoot through" umbrella which has a diameter several feet across, NOW the light appears to originate from the entire surface area of the fabric on the umbrella.  That nice broad light source means you don't get shadows with hard edges... instead things gently change from light to shadow and it's a much better look.
    As I stare at the knobs and pickups on the front of your first image, I can see a very definite shadow with defined edges -- which we don't want.  This is because your light source appears to originate from a small area (basically a "point source").  There are many ways to diffuse light... shoot-through umbrellas, reflective umbrellas, soft-boxes, etc. will all cuase the light to appear to originate from a very broad source.
    You also mentioned you are struggling with white balance and getting the colors to show accurately.
    The easiest way to handle this (and nail it) is to use something called a "gray card".   When you use a white balance setting on the camera, that's just a good "guess" at the right white balance setting.  But when you use a gray card you can be sure you actually have the correct white balance... every time.
    The "card" is just a surface that's painted gray.  But not just any gray will work.  This gray is formulated to be guaranteed to be "color neutral" and the camera and post processing software expect this.  There are two ways to use it.
    If you shoot JPEG images (I always only shoot RAW) then you place the gray card in the IDENTICAL lighting that you will use to photograph your subject.  In the photo below, I'd put the gray card right in front of the guitar.  Center the card in the camera's viewfinder and get in close (it doesn't need to fill the whole camera frame, but it should cover most of the middle of the frame.).  The camera doesn't even need to be focused (its almost better if it's not focused).  Take a photo of the card.
    If you shoot RAW, you just need one photo that has the gray card in it -- anywhere.  It just needs to be in the identical light conditions as your product.  Remove the gray card after you take this shot and then shoot the rest of your images as you normally would.  This "gray card" image will serve as a reference image and will be used later.
    Since the room lights are not technical a neutral "white" color (the light has a colored tint to it) it will alter the color of the gray on the card.  This is what we want because know we have an object for which the camera actually KNOWS the true "color" and yet it can see the "apparent" color (caused by the tint of the light) and this lets the camera (or computer software) make the color correction to get the colors back to true color.
    If you shoot JPEG you can use something called "custom white balance" (CWB).  You'll go into the camera's white balance menu, pick the "custom white balance" (CWB) option.  It will prompt you to select the image on your memory card which contains the gray card shot.  Find and select that image.  The camera will then analyze the apparent color of the card (compared to what it knows is the true color of the card) and will adjust the colors by subtracing the color tint from the image.  Now... EVERY shot you take with that particular CWB setting will have the identical color correction applied.  Just note that if you change your lights, move your product to a different spot, etc. then you have to shoot a new gray-card image and re-select it as the new CWB reference image.
    If you shoot RAW (my preferred method) the camera doesn't do anything as you shoot... just make sure you captured one image with the gray card and then shoot the rest of your shots without the card.
    When you unload the images into your computer software, you'll find the image with the gray card and you'll use your "white balance" tool (Adobe Lightroom is recommended if you shoot RAW -- there are others.)   The tool will usually have an eye-dropper icon.  Pick the icon and it'll prompt you to go pick a pixel from your image.  Go pick a pixel on that gray-card you have in the photo.  The software will apply white balance correction based on the gray card and that will fix that one image to have accurate white balance.  Having done this, you can now "sync" that white balance correction to every single shot you took in your photo shoot (provided they were shot in the  identical lighting).  You've now applied white balance correction to the entire shoot.
    I should warn you that the colors on your computer monitor are probably not accurate unless you own a color calibration tool and have calibrated the monitor.  I use a Colormunki Photo (by X-Rite).  The Datacolor Spyder is also popular.  It has software that changes the color of your display to various calibration colors so the tool can determine how accurately your monitor displays color and it then creates a "profile" for your monitor so that the colors on your screen are true to real-life colors (otherwise when you think you have the color correct on YOUR screen, it may look wrong on someone OTHER screen.)
    There is a little more to it... but that gets color pretty close.  It turns out your camera may have various levels of sensitive to saturations of reds, greens, and blues that vary.  So X-Rite makes a device called the "Color Checker".  It has a card with colored squares on it -- you photograph the card, white balance it, and then pull up the image in their software and they can detect that even though the white balance is correct, certain color saturations may still need some tweaking -- and the software applies these adjustments for you.  In the end you can be confident that the colors are bang-on accurate.  If anyone else thinks the colors are wrong... it's their montior which is out of whack... not yours.

  • I want to change my Whatsapp picture but most pictures turn out either upside down or sidewards; I even have auto rotation but it works on certain pictures only, what do I do?

    I turned auto rotation on and I want to change my profile picture on Whatsapp. On certain pictures they turn out correct, however on most of them, they turn out sidewards or even upside down. I want to calibrate my phone but it doesn't say anything in settings about calibrating it, what do I do?

    When they turn sidewards what I do is going to Photos, then Edit the specific photo I want as my Whatsapp profile and turn it 4 times. It will stay the same in Photos but when I go to Whatsapp and choose it, it doesn't turn sidewards this time.
    Hope this helps!

  • HT201401 Is a camera replaceable if it is all scratched up and the pictures turn out blurry?

    I've read about replacing a backplate? Can someone verify? I really would like to use my camera, as it's been like this for a year now.

    Icepassion you are correct, blurry pictures are most often due to lens scratches on the iPhone backplate. The backplate is a simple replacement at Apple Store for $29. Make Genius Reservation, at Apple Store show to Genius, if new backplate does not fix the issue I am sure they will not make you buy the backplate.

  • When I take a picture with my IPhone and send it to my home computer, why do the pictures turn sideways or upside down (it's an HP windows computer)

    When I take a picture with my IPhone and send it to my home computer (HP Windows) why does the picture turn out sideways or upside down?

    OK, here's the explanation.  When you take a picture, the iPhone knows what orientation it is in (portrait, landscape, etc.) and adds that information to the picture's EXIF data so it knows which side is up.  Apple devices can decode this information and show the picture right side up when it is viewed.  However, Windows computers cannot do this.  They are not capable of decoding the orientation information added by the iPhone, so they are displayed in a default orientation (which may not be right side up).
    This only happens on Windows machines, and unfortunately there is nothing you can do about it, except use the rotation buttons in Windows picture view to orient the photo correctly.

  • When I download pictures from my camera, they turn out a nice big size in iPhoto; other pictures that have been e-mailed to me or imported from older libraries/other computers show up small.  Why is this, and how can I make them all the larger size?

    When I download pictures from my digital camera into iPhoto, they turn out a nice large size (usually almost the full screen), but when somebody e-mails me pictures and I import them into iPhoto, or when I transfer old photos from an old library into my new iPhoto library, they turn out very small--not exactly thumbnail-size, but too small to use for calendars or photo books.  I don't know much about computers, so I don't know how this happened.  Also, I can't find any discernible pattern to why this happens with some pictures and not others--ie: what I described above is usually true, but I have had e-mailed photos or old photos turn out the way I want them, which is in the larger size in iPhoto.  Why is this happening, and how can I make all the pictures the larger size?

    Some mail programs, including Apple Mail, can reduce the size of images that are attached to a message. It's happening at the sender's end, and all you can do is ask the sender for a larger image.

  • When I take a picture in the dark and use the flash, the photo turns out pink.

    Recently, when taking pictures using the flash, they turn out pink  This happens whether there is light or not. Why? 

    You probably have a filter set for the normal camera mode but not the square.
    To fix, in Photo mode, touch the filter icon (three circles) and select None for the filter.

  • Uploading problem - picture orientation wrong. Horiz pics turn out vertical

    Why are my pics turning out upside down, vertical becomes horizontal vice versa?
    I'm uploading new img folders from my Mac desktop and the photos upload well except for this problem.
    Help.
    Thx.

        @jmclarke,
    I also like sharing my picture with friends and family on Facebook so I understand how important this is for you.
    Have the pictures always uploaded to Facebook this way or did it just start happening? Does it happen with ever picture you upload or just certain ones?

  • I tunes asked me if I wanted to back up my iphone. I thought itunes backed up my iphone data so i sad yes but it turned out itunes backed up my ipod datas on my iphone =( is there any way I can get my pictures and messages back? Thanks!

    I tunes asked me if I wanted to back up my iphone. I thought itunes backed up my iphone data so i sad yes but it turned out itunes backed up my ipod datas on my iphone =( is there any way I can get my pictures and messages back? Thanks!

    If you have a backup of your computer, here's the location of the iTunes backup folder:
    Where are iTunes backups stored on your computer
    The folder where your backup data is stored depends on the computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your data-backup routine. iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your home folder, hold Option and click the Go menu.
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
    Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press Return.

  • Strange lines appearing behind itunes

    I went away for the holidays, and when I got back I booted up my 2006 iMac. Today for the first time, there are strange lines appearing behind iTunes whenever it is open but not the active window. I tried quitting and restarting iTunes, but the lines come back. I wish I could upload a screen shot of what this looks like on my desktop, it's very weird. It does not happen behind any other program window. Only iTunes. The lines appear as if they are extensions of the iTunes window formatting, in line with the side bars, etc. Has anyone else experienced this? Any tips for getting it to quit?

    I just wanted to add that I am also seeing the same problem: strange lines around the borders of the iTunes window. The most obvious ones are a set of four vertical lines running parallel to both sides of the iTunes window, although there are other strange bits as well, mostly around the top corners of the window, as well as a single thin horizontal line above the top of the iTunes window. These unusual lines started appearing "out of the blue" sometime in the past few weeks -- as in, not right after an update or any other configuration change to my mac... The only change I can say I did recently was to update to OS 10.6.6, although I know others who are running 10.6.6 and aren't having this issue with iTunes. I also wanted to add that in my case, I only see these strange lines when iTunes is the active window. Further to that, updating to iTunes 10.1.2 does not fix the problem, unfortunately.

  • Iphone 5 camera is not working soon after I downloaded ios7.  Camera is frozen and shows a blur picture.

    Hi Apple,
    Can you tell me if there's a reason for my camera not working on my iphone 5.
    Soon after downloading ios7 , the camera's front picture has frozen and shows
    blurred picture . The app itself is frozen also  , can't bring up photos from photo album .
    Also I reset the phone and still the camera is not working .
    please advise me as what to do next .
    Regards.
    Reggie.

    Hi Patoraffo,
    I understand that you are having issues with the Camera app functioning, I found the following information that may provide a resolution:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Camera is not functioning
    - If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    - If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tapping Settings > General > Restrictions.
    - Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    - Third-party cases can interfere with the autofocus/exposure feature and the flash (iPhone 4 only); try removing the case if you have image-quality issues with photos.
    - Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    - Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    - Try to remain steady while focusing:
              - Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center. Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
              - Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. After recording begins, you cannot readjust focus until you stop recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll. Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
    - If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Camera roll pictures are out of order after upgrading to iOS 8.1

    It's nice that iOS 8.1 brings camera roll back. However, pictures are out of chronological order. I'm using iPhone 5s. I upgraded iOS from 8.0.2 to 8.1, and noticed this issue.

    That's weird cause my videos are all interspersed with everything else like they used to be, which unfortunately means it's inconsistently screwing up too.  My pics start with 2007 (first year i got an iphone) then run up to about 2014 vaguely in order, then back to 2013 where everything's all out of order, then down to 2012 again (also out of order), then 2011, 2010, 2009 etc like it's running backwards to 2007.  Then once it hits 2007 again, it jumps to this past july.
    SO aggravating!
