Too much red in photos

Hello all,
I sometimes use iPhoto 08 and import my photos (which I have processed in Adobe Photoshop CS 3), and then send them to iDVD so that I can have a slideshow. I then add some music and then burn the disc to be played in a set-top dvd player on my TV.
The problem that I am having is that although my photos look great when I'm done processing them...it seems like iPhoto is adding red to a lot of them. My faces on people seem really red.
Is there something that is causing this?
Thanks,
Norm

Are you having trouble only with the photos you've edited with PS? If so how do you have PSCS3 setup to manage color? Here's how I've set it up:

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Too much red when printing photo on e-All-in-One-C310. Color profile needed.

Hi.
I just bought e-All-in-One-C310 and tried to print some photos - every time there is too much red color. Inks (cartridge) are HP original, paper is also from HP (Advance HP photo paper). OS - Windows 7.
It seems that I need a color profile but I can't find one on HP web-site. Can anyone help me?
Thank you in advance.
Ugine.

Too Much Red/Magenta in Pictures

I am using:
Adobe Pro Extended Version 9.3.2 (in default mode, out-of-the-box mode)
Vista 32 bit
Dell desktop PC with lots of ram
NVidia GEForce 8800 GTX
I am reviewing a draft copy of a friend's PDF e-book. In his e-book are lots of pictures, of which many are strikingly too red or magenta in color.
Is there some setting that I should set so that my software properly picks up the color space and applies it? Is there some other setting that I should be aware of?
I am not sure what software or settings he used to create his PDF e-book. I will ask. He did, mention, however that the pictures look fine on his and his friend's pcs. So whatever the problem might be, I'd like to find out so that, when the e-book is released, others don't suffer the same image degradation problem.
Again, are there switches or setting or general advice that I should be aware of?
Thank you for your advice.

Much to my surprise, I had altered the out-of-the-box settings. In Preferences | Color Management, I had set ProPhoto RGB rather than the traditional sRGB.
I see other documents and the pictures look fine. But in the document that I am reviewing, the pictures look much too red when using ProPhoto RGB. I suspect, though I am not sure, is that some documents have their pictures with the color space profile embedded in each picture. In the document that I am reviewing, I am *guessing* that the color space is not embedded in each picture.

Too much red after upgrade!

I am not sure if after updating either to Panther or Tiger or from iPhoto 4 to 5 all the photos in my iPhoto collection had an overly red tint! All photos taken after that look normal. I have not printed any of those photos so I can't tell if they come out in print that way. I thought at the time a future update would fix this problem. But till today I am stuck with many many photos that used to be perfect all have a red looks to them! Since I never checked up on this I don't know if this was something other people had? I would appreciate any suggestions on this very much. Thank you for your reply.

Walter,
You will have much better luck with the post you have in iPhoto 5 -- where the color management and color profile issues are being discussed near your topic.
If you edited those older pictures you can try one thing. pick one and see if you can revert to original. See how the original looks.

I am trying to upload photos from my digital camera. Every time I try to plug it into my USB, the following error message comes up: "Because a usb device was drawing too much power from your computer, one or more of your USB devices have been disabled."

I don't have anything else plugged into my MBP, so I am confused as to what's going on. This problem has never happened before. MBP is less than a year old - about 9 months old. HELP

Get a powered USB hub.

To upload photos from my pc onto my ipad using a usb stick. I bought a camera connector kit and tried placing the usb stick onto one of the white square adaptors, stuck it into the ipad2 and I got 'the device uses too much power'' message. Pls help.

I am not very familiar with the ipad2. I wished to transfer some photos from my pc (not an apple pc but that is the only one I have) to my ipad2 as I thought it would be easier to cull them, edit, crop etc to create albums for our recent trip (the photos are already on the pc and no longer on the camera memory card). When I place the usb stick on the adaptor and stick it onto the Ipad2 I keep getting 'device uses too much power/ requires too much power' message. I read somewhere on the internet that a usb hub could be used to solve the issue but that did not work either. What am I doing wrong? Is there actually a way around this problem. If not why does apple sell this product for Ipad users at all?
Thank you for any help/ solution you can offer.
Regards

I'd ask that on the iPad forum.

If they were deleted from your camera roll that should have resulted in a corresponding decrease in the estimated size of your next backup.
If it's still saying that you don't have enough storage to back up, read through this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4847. It provides some suggestions for reducing your iCloud storage, such as deleting unneeded email.
The other area to look at is your text messages. These are included in the backup. If you have lots of photos and videos attached to your messages, that can significantly increase the size of your backup. If that's the case, deleting these may make a big difference.

I can no longer download photos to my ipad with the camera attachment. the message says thats its using too much power. i have a 100% charge and i used it before and it worked fine.

You can transfer photos outside of iTunes. I do it all the time. THat said, i have a 50/50 success rate with them. I'd avoid sandisk and kingston, their bundled software triggers the 'too much power' warning.
I've had mixed luck with lexar, some work, some don't.
I did have good luck with an older 4 gig geek squad one.
Look for drives without software on them, without bright LED lights and I haven't gotten any larger than 4 gig to work, but that may just be me.
For a less troublesome way? h onestly, I use a SD card that I've formatted with the DCIM folder. I've never had one of them trigger the 'too much power' warning. Just make sure they're not SDXC. those don't work.

The first time I synced my iphone 4 with my mac, I didn't realize that all of my photos from the iphoto library would transfer over to the phone (more than 3,000). Now, I need to remove some, as they are taking up too much space. I cannot figure out how to remove them from the phone. I tried to uncheck boxes and sync again, but I get a message that there is no room on the iphone. I've read as many articles as I can find, but still cannot manage this. Thanks for any help.

Open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want, sync

All pictures in Photos on Mac syncing with Photos on iPhone and taking up too much space

Since I downloaded Photos on my MacBook Pro, all the pictures that I had in iPhotos are not showing up on Photos on my laptop AND my iPhone. I used to be able to choose which iPhoto albums to sync with my iPhone and would prefer to do that again. It is taking up way too much space to have them all synced to my phone. Any idea how to choose which pictures I want available on my phone???

Before the migration to Photos on laptop, I would go to iTunes, Photos, Sync Photos, Selected Albums, and then choose the albums from iPhoto to sync to phone.
Since I had the problem with all of the photos syncing to iPhone, I un-checked Sync, but they were all still showing up on iPhone.
I just looked at iTunes and saw this message:
When I looked last week, the "copy from _______" was not an option. Now I am able to choose the iPhoto albums that I want to sync just as I was before.
I still don't know why they were syncing when I didn't have that option selected, but it appears Apple has fixed the issue I was having.
I guess I will continue to use iPhoto rather than Photos on my laptop to avoid this issue again.
Thank you for your help!!!!

How many photos is too much

I realize that this is one of those "your mileage may vary" type questions, but here goes:
How many photos is too much for a single iphoto library? Have people either encountered problems after reaching a certain threshold? Or are there people who have lots of photos with no problems at all?
I am in the process of trying to consolidate several iphoto libraries into one huge library. I say "trying," because I am running into problems with importing thousands of photos. The master library will have around 50,000 photos, although a good many of them will probably be duplicates (which is another hassle).
Because the consolidation is such a pain, I am wondering if it will be worth it. Is 50,000 photos OK for a library? What about 100,000?
Thanks for any words of wisdom.

In addition to Terence's suggestions make sure that in the Photos mode you have the Event titles displayed and only open those events you're working with. Having no Event titles displayed and all of thumbnails displayed will greatly slow down iPhoto whether it be 6 or 7.
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.
