Why are two previews suddenly half gray?

Any idea why one of my images suddenly appears half gray? Both versions of the image have the same problem. I've tried regenerating both the preview and the thumbnail but it doesn't make any difference. Loading the image in Photoshop doesn't help--it still shows up half gray.
Here's a link to the image: http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r215/SBrentnall/Miscellaneous/ApertureProblem .jpg

I can only guess, but one possibility is that a file was saved, and then immediately after, a save-as was done. The time stamp could wind up the same in that case, and the file that was saved-as would have extraneous data (from changes and re-saves) stripped out.

    Why are two pages yoked when I prepare a newletter?  How do I delete one without the other?

    They are all part of one Section. Just as you do not (hopefully) rip pages out at random from books, the pages of a Section are linked by the text that flows from one to the other.
    If you want to move or delete particular page/s Insert a Section Break at the end of the page before.

  • Why Are My Text Align Buttons Grayed Out?

    My users are unable to center text when edited pages in CS3 and CS4. The standard paragraph alignment buttons are grayed out.
    All the users of my site have Admin role, and I have set up the role to allow unrestricted editing. And "Allow Users to Apply Styles"... At screenshot of some of my settings is attached. I don't see why Contribute is not allowing this basic element to work.
    Why Are My Text Align Buttons Grayed Out?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I experienced the very same issue, but found an interesting quick-fix that worked for us.
    Several of my webpage content managers reported that they could not change the text alignment in pages created using Dreamweaver nested templates. We use nested editable regions in order to restrict portions of the pages (i.e. banners and navigation menus) from being edited.
    I found that Contribute CS4 could realign text in some parts of the affected pages, but not others.
    Further exam revealed that Contribute could change the alignment on any text that was inside a table on those pages. If I inserted a table and then cut-n-pasted the problem text into the table, the text lost its style/formatting, but it could then have its alignment changed.
    Any text not inside a table could not have the alignment changed by Contribute and changing its style/formatting made no difference.
    One note though: It was interesting that after pasting the text into a table, if I selected a chunk of text, the alignment buttons grayed out again. However, if I simply clicked on the line of text (did not select it), the buttons remained active and the text alignment could be changed.
    I don't know why it is happening. The nested regions were working fine, or so I thought, until recently.
    The above is a quick-fix and got my page content managers back online, but I'm still searching for a long-term solution if anyone has one.
    Good luck...

  • Why are the adobe pdf presets grayed out in photoshop?

    Why are the adobe pdf presets grayed out in photoshop? I'm trying to save an image to "Press Quality" as a pdf and the settings are grayed out.

    Maybe a screenshot of your Photoshop working area with the image opened, image tab and the layer panels showing might give us an idea. I can't guarantee that I can help, but someone might be familiar with the situation.
    Also a screenshot of the Save as Adobe PDF and the PDF settings dialog as separate shots would also help as well. That way we see what you see.

  • Why are iPhotos previews higher quality than my exports?

    I have just now noticed this after using it for so long. I was using it to de-noise  a photo I took earlier today and turned it up to 100%. I looks clean and smooth like I want, so I exported it first as a jpeg with max quality, but I noticed a lot of noise in it. So I exported it again as an original and it looks the same still. I just exported it as Current to see if there is still noise, and there is. I have exhausted the other formats as well, all export with noise.
    I put iPhoto in fullscreen mode and took a screen cap of the photo via cmd+shift+4, and compared the the screen cap to both of the exports and it looks much cleaner, even though its more than half the resolution being displayed.
    This is not right, plain and simple.
    Here are two links, one to the original export, and the other is a screen cap.

    What am I doing wrong? Are my eyes playing tricks?

    I just came to my local Apple dealer to get help and they have never encountered this before. Questions they asked that made it less clear for them; they were shot in jpeg and I have exported using every setting all yielding the same results.
    This sounds to be a software issue and I encourage Apple's staff to investigate it.

  • Why are two queries better than one

    I'm trying to help out our developers who are struggling with the performance of a very simple select statmenent that for some reason is exhibiting some very inexplicable results.
    I'll show the SQL as a single statement first.....
    select * from transaction1 t where t.hid in (select distinct h.hid from history1 h,filter1 f where h.fid = f.fid and f.match='value');
    transaction 1 has 250k records, history1 has about 100k as does filter1. We know generally the subselect will only return a total of half a dozen or less records (only 1 in our testing here).
    Running the above query takes around 7 seconds.
    Changing this to a with clause.....
    WITH a as (select distinct h.hid from history1 h,filter1 f where h.fid = f.fid and f.match='value') select * from transaction1 t where t,hid in (select a.hid from a);
    and the runtime drops to 3 seconds. But then re-running the first statement again also now takes 3 seconds (so I guess there's some caching going on there).
    Now what really puzzles is if we split this into two queries.....
    select distinct h.hid from history1 h,filter1 f where h.fid = f.fid and f.match='value';
    This takes .1 of a second,
    select * from transaction1 t where t.hid in (12345);
    And this takes .1 of a second.
    So why when run seperately are they so fast, yet combined they take so long. I'm a bit baffled by this. We've rewritten the same SQL in half a dozen different ways with the same result and also done the same thing with other tables as well. Is it an optimisation issue?

  • Why are two files different in size?

    I have two in-design documents of the same text. One of them is half the size of the other. Just by glancing at them I cannot tell any difference. The Microsoft time-stamp (modified) of the files is the same (suggesting they are the same). Why is the size difference?

    I can only guess, but one possibility is that a file was saved, and then immediately after, a save-as was done. The time stamp could wind up the same in that case, and the file that was saved-as would have extraneous data (from changes and re-saves) stripped out.

  • Why are my photos suddenly in JPEG format when taking them from camera card to IPHOTO - which then wont let me download into a file! Help been doing this for years and something has suddenly changed in the last 2 days to my camera? or IPHOTO??

    I am away for a year and have been downloading pictures from my camera - a FUJIFILM EXR compact for the last 15 weeks into files on my mac using IPHOTO no problem...suddenly in the last 2 days I have tried to do this and IPHOTO opens the pictures ok but wont downoad them as they are now JPEG?  have I switched something over inadvertently or what - help please!!!!  many thanks

    sorry maybe Im not making my issue clear...thanks for answering anyway:
    over the last years- but 15 weeks specifically I have downloaded photos from my camers card- putting it straight into the apple mac and then opening IPHOTO then i am able to click and put the pics into my folders in IPHOTO but as of 2 days ago - the camera card went in, the pics opened BUT there is an error message which states iphoto cannot save them to file......as they are JPEGS
    I can see that others too have had this issue and there are 'answers' but I am a complete novice and cannot understand the answers given and need someone to 'hand hold me' through a step by step this is what you must do....
    so hope that now is cleared as to why there is a 'problem'
    hope you can still help me thanks for you time

  • Why are the adjustment layer controls grayed out?

    I have used an adjustment layer in CS5 and when it was first used I could adjust everything.  Now most of the controls have grayed out and whilst I can slide the sliders I can not type figures in nor use the radio buttons!  Why has it locked me out?  It has happened on a few images and with both Colour Balance and Hue and Saturation Layers.
    The image above shows the problem with the top Colour Balance layer where I can not select Shadows or Highlights, nor type in figures for the sliders BUT I can slide them and change the tick on Preserve Luminosity!  The basic image being edited is an 8-bit RGB file. 
    Adding a new adjustment layer (Colour Balance) on top of this one initially showed the same problem but after adding 3 more new adjustment layers suddenly eveything came back to fully working again - even the original problem layer!
    This problem keeps happening with some of my images.  It is happening on all 3 of our photoshop PC's, so it looks like a basic PS bug.  Has anyone else seen this or know why it happens?

    Thanks for the suggestion but that has no effect on them being grayed out or not.  When this problem occurs it does not matter if the Mask is highlighted OR the adjustment itself.
    But thanks anyway.
    I am currently without the issue on the above example having removed the problem by adding additional adjustment layers and removing them again. Even if I now select just the adjustment mask I can still access ALL adjustment controls without problem.
    But it will occur again as it has done over the last few months on a random basis.  Hopefully someone else has seen this occur and found a solution?

  • Why are my slices suddenly visable?

    Hey folks. I was wondering if anyone could explain (and remedy) why the slices on my home page are suddenly visable. For the last four years they weren't. And oddly enough, with one browser (Safari) they're still not visable, but with other browsers they are. Mainly the horizontal slice lines on my home page. Please take a look:
    hhttp://www.toilgirls.com
    I guess I'm wondering if I accidentally allowed my slice lines to be visable.
    Thanks very much in advance!
    Les

    Looks like the image coverart_22.jpg is to large for the cell its in .... forceing the table to grow larger and therby making "gaps" in the table cells so the slices show.
    There are 2 easy fix ...
    1. cut some px of the bottom of the coverart_22.jpg (50-100px) and give the cell its in a valign="top" so the image stays at top of the cell
    40. <tr>
    41.      <td colspan=3><img src="images/coverimages/coverart_01.jpg" width=440 height=298 alt="" valign="top"></td>
    42.      <td colspan=2><img src="images/coverimages/coverart_02.jpg" width=489 height=298 alt=""></td>
    43.      <td rowspan=15><img src="images/coverimages/coverart_22.jpg" width=79 height=1080 alt="" valign="top"></td>
    44.      <td><img src="../../../Users/brianclarke/Desktop/ToilGirls%20Site/toilgirls/images/spacer.gif" width=1 height=298 alt=""></td>
    45. </tr>
    btw: i see you have align middel and top in your code... i know GL alows for this but thats actualy wrong
    You only use align for directions left, center, or right.
    You use valign for directions top, middle, bottom, or basline.
    2. Insted of cutting the image you merge the containg cell with the cell udner it and therby make room for the image inside it. by setting the rowspan to 16 + using valing="top" on the cell and remove the <td></td> in line 108
    40. <tr>
    41.      <td colspan=3><img src="images/coverimages/coverart_01.jpg" width=440 height=298 alt="" valign="top"></td>
    42.      <td colspan=2><img src="images/coverimages/coverart_02.jpg" width=489 height=298 alt=""></td>
    43.      <td rowspan=16><img src="images/coverimages/coverart_22.jpg" width=79 height=1080 alt="" valign="top"></td>
    44.      <td><img src="../../../Users/brianclarke/Desktop/ToilGirls%20Site/toilgirls/images/spacer.gif" width=1 height=298 alt=""></td>
    45. </tr>
    105. <tr>
    106.     <td colspan=2><a onmouseover="changeImages( /*CMP*/'coverart_20',/*URL*/'images/coverimages/coverart_20a.jpg');return true" onmouseout="changeImages( /*CMP*/'coverart_20',/*URL*/'images/coverimages/coverart_20.jpg');return true" href="links.html"><img src="images/coverimages/coverart_20.jpg" name="coverart_20" width=193 height=70 alt="" border="0"></a></td>

    109.     <td><img src="../../../Users/brianclarke/Desktop/ToilGirls%20Site/toilgirls/images/spacer.gif" width=1 height=70 alt=""></td>

  • Why are Aperture Add Effect options grayed out?

    Hello. I just bought a new iMac and moved all my data in from a Time Capsule. I frequently select "all images" and use the Quick Fixes option within Add Effect under the photos tab on the top left corner of the screen to run a batch process. But now when I try it all of the options are grayed out. I can highlight a couple of images and the option is available where normally running a batch is a non-issue. Thanks in advance for any ideas and help.

    But now when I try it all of the options are grayed out.
    Are all Adjustments greyed out, or only the effects in the in the "Effects > Quick Fixes" menu? And does it only happen, when you are trying to adjust more than one image?
    Check these possible reasons for disabled adjustments:
    Are you in Quick Preview mode? Then no adjustments will be available at all.
    If the Quick Preview button is highlighted, disable it.
    Do you have "Primary only" enabled? (the framed "1" button to the left of the Quick Preview button). Then deselect it.
    Hello. I just bought a new iMac and moved all my data in from a Time Capsule.
    How did you restore from your Time Capsule?
    Are your images showing any "arrow" badges?

  • Why are the colors suddenly negative?

    The colors on my iMac g4 10.4.4 are suddenly inverted...they look like photo negatives..I've tried to change it back in System Preferences and by shutting down and restarting but nothing helps...the colors are still all wrong...there must be something simple to change them back to normal but I don't know what it is..any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If you want to know the reason why open System Preferences then click on Universal Access. Go down to Display and you will see options for Black on White and White on Black.
    These can be set with a set of key commands, which you must have hit once by mistake (sounds odd but I did it once myself so I know it can happen).
    If you want to make sure it doesn't happen again in System Preferences go to Keyboard & Mouse then Keyboard Shortcuts then turn off all the Universal Access commands.

  • Why are my images suddenly gone from lightroom?

    A few days ago I imported 101 images from an SD card to my Lightroom catalog. The images are still in the two locations they imported to on my hard drive and backup drive. But the folder is suddenly not in my catalog. I had sorted and worked on all of these and really don't want to start over. Any ideas where they may have gone?

    Im not really sure what info is necessary...I uploaded to my existing catalog. I store my catalog in my dropbox folder for syncing with my iMac. I am on the road so there is no syncing going on with crappy hotel room wifi, but imported into my existing catalog, choosing my desktop for the destination. And a backup to an external. Today I imported todays pics, and noticed the folder from a few days ago was gone. It still sits on my desktop, and external, but all record of it is gone from lightroom. Searched by file name, etc... I had done edits to the pics and now they are all gone. I have 20,000 photos in lightroom, and have never had this happen.
