Why does my photo look posterized when I open it in CS6?

When opening a picture in CS6, either from Bridge or just from File, open in CS6, they have this 60's posterized look on most of the picture. Settings are 8 bit, RGB, haven't changed any settings and even reinstalled CS6 over the old CS6, but still doing it. Was fine for a long time, just started doing this. I did upgrade to OnOne Perfect Layers 7 recently. That program has had a history of bugginess, I may delete it . But first I was hoping there was some simple fix you might know of. Thank you

Have you tried resetting the preferences?

Why do my photos zoom in when I add them to a video?

I am not experienced at all with premiere pro at all. i have to just splice videos and photos together. My videos come out fine but when I try to add photos to this video it like zooms in or takes only a portion of the picture and adds it. Its very strange. Like I said though I do not really know Premiere Pro so work with me here if this is a dumb question X)
Thanks, Russ

Probably because your sequence is 1920X1080 or smaller and your images are in the neighborhood of 4000X3000 or more.
I suggest that you just scale them down with the Scale parameter of the Motion effect. Once you do that to one of them, you can copy it, and then "Paste Attributes" on the others to make them the same size. That way you can adjust them a little later if you wish.
The other way is to set them to "Scale to Frame Size" but that resamples them and you can't zoom back in without losing quality. Also, if they are the wrong shape (quite likely) then you will be stuck with bars on the sides.

Why are my photos zooming out when I set them as wallpaper?

This morning when I was setting some photos as wallpapers I noticed that they are zooming out and whenever I tried to to zoom them in it kept on going back to what it was before in the zoom out and it's not showing the whole picture as it is in my photo Gallary. I tried resetting, I tried turning off the parxell and it's still doing that. It's sorta upsetting cause I don't like my photos enlarged. It looks awful that way. Is there anyway to fix this?

Why does TDM Importer start up when I open an Excel file in LabVIEW, and how can I stop it?

I have a new application using LabVIEW 2012 SP1. I open an Excel file using the Report Generation toolkit and when I do so, a small TDM Importer window pops up on top of the Excel file.
How can I prevent this?

Hi Steve,
The TDM Importer pops up because the report generated in LabVIEW is in the TDMS file format. TDMS is a binary file that requires an importer to make sense of the binary data and translate it into an Excel spreadsheet. As per this white paper, the appearance of the floating toolbar is expected behavior: http://www.ni.com/white-paper/5874/en/
To the best of my knowledge, you cannot get rid of the floating toolbar unless you uninstall the add-in, in which case you probably would not be able to open your LabVIEW-generated reports. However, as of Excel 2007, the toolbar is embedded in the "Add-Ins" tab instead of floating on your spreadsheet. You can see how the toolbar looks as of Excel 2007 in step 6 of this white paper: http://www.ni.com/white-paper/5885/en/
If there is a way to embed the toolbar in Excel 2003, it would be the exact same way you would embed any other floating customer toolbar in Excel. In other words, I don't think this has anything to do with the fact that it's NI's add-in. This is just the way Excel 2003 and earlier treats add-in toolbars. Someone on these forums may well know a way to embed it (perhaps a macro?), but you may have better luck contacting Microsoft. I'm not sure whether it's even possible for a user to embed the toolbar.

Why do Keynote and Pages freeze when I open them?

I have tried everything but I get the spinning wheel whenver I try opening them. I have even uninstalled and reinstalled from the App Store. I have also tried deleting their respective .plist files in the Library>>Preferences folder and emptied trash after doing so. I also tried uninstalling and restarting holding shift, then repairing disk permissions in Disk Utilities.
These both worked last week and I haven't installed anything on this computer since then which leads me to believe it could be an iCloud issue?
I have a major presentation in a few days and need to fix this asap.
Thanks!

Iphone camera effects display in photo album but disappear when you open the photo itself. why is this ?

iphone camera effects display in photo album but disappear when you open the photo itself. why is this ?

Hi Cyclosaurus,
Thank you for your reply. Sorry to bug you again but can I ask some further questions? Pls excuse my lack of knowledge on these things.
In relation to your points:
1) In the ftp publishing settings, public_html is acutal in where it says "site name", where it says "URL" I have http://www.gippmed.com. I was advised to put public_html in "site name" from my hosting. If I put anything else it publishes the entire site to a folder with that name on the server and is not viewable online?
2) I have removed the spaces in the album page name and will reupload soon. In relation to the image file names, am I correct in saying that iweb is naming them from the captions? Do you really have to use one word captions or use underscores, it looks a little odd? I have read troubleshooting articles about iweb and spaces and it also recommends similar as you are, suggesting that all page names should have underscore instead of spaces. Problem is, if for example I change the page name "About Me" to "About_Me" iweb automatically changes it in the navigation menu and this looks silly to have undescores in the Nav Menu. Is there a way around this?
Lastly, a new problem that I have never had before:
Previously, iweb would remember what I had published and only publish new site changes. Now, every time I turn my computer off and on, I open iweb and it doesn't recognise any of the previous publishing, ie it republishes the entire site.
Thank you again for your help

Why does i photo not launch when i click on icon in dock?

Help why does i photo not launch when i click on icon in dock?

The icons in the Dock are aliases. If iPhoto isn't launching from the dock the alias may be broken. What you can do is first test to if iPhoto is working by launching the app from the Applications folder. Once you have determined iPhoto is OK then remove the old Dock icon by holding it down and dragging it to the desktop, it will disappear in a puff of smoke. Then go to the Applications folder and drag the iPhoto icon to the Dock and test it.

Why do my photos appear as an exclamation mark when i open them?

Why do my photos appear as an exclamation mark when I open them?
I used my time machine back up from my old expired power mac and uploaded the contents onto my new iMac.
All of the files uploaded successfully as far as I can see (except the old programs don't work and the consequently all those files are cactus :-( )however when I opened iPhoto only a few photos (500) where in some of the folders.
I went back and found the photos in the back up machine (25000) and dumped them on the iPhoto icon. They down loaded successfully into the correct folders and the thumbprints are visible. When I click on an individual photo the enlarged picture appears for an instant and then an explanation mark in a triangle appears in its place.
The original 500 pics actual worked... now after days of mucking around and with lots of advice I have doubled the number of 'photos' to 50000!!! Ahh,,,, and still the exclamation mark appears
Is there anyway out of this predicament??

This went wrong here:

Never import one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the link to the original photo.
I would suggest that you restore that library from Time Machine again, and then try repair it.
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

In my desktop my photos are 29GB, but in my ipad it is 8.8, why is this? and also will my photo's compress when i add them to iPhoto in my air?

Arrow in bottom left allows you to multi select. After you choose your photos, you can hit the delete button that appears in the bottom right hand corner. Or, you can hit the cancel button in the rop right and not delete them

Is there a reason why the mail badge icon on my iPad doesn't disappear when I open an email on my iPhone using my iCloud account?

Is there a reason why the mail badge icon on my iPad doesn't disappear when I open an email on my iPhone using my iCloud account?

Hi everyone!
Looking also for an app that allows me to merge email and send them out to each recipient individually. Apparently that's not possible yet. Here's what the guys at RedbitsApps told me about Group Email capabilities:
"The current version of the app relies on the device operating system to send the emails. For this reason, sending individual email instead of a single email to multiple recipients is not possible. Apple doesn't allow apps to send single emails to many recipients easily. We may use a custom sending software in a future version."
Let's keep looking guys...

Why do my photos become uncropped when i upload to shutterfly? I saved them as cropped photos in my album and followed the directions closely, but it keeps happening.

Why do my photos become uncropped when I upload to Shutterfly using the Shutterfly app? I correctly downloaded the photos to my iPad. I then cropped them, enhanced them, and saved correctly. I then created a new folder, put them in it, then used the Shutterfly app to upload them. However, the uploaded versions are the originals before being cropped and enhanced. I have tried this several times now and cannot figure it out.

There may or may not be something wrong with your colour settings or monitor calibration and profile. Quite possibly there isn't. You say you work in Adobe RGB space in Photoshop. If you're viewing Adobe RGB images which have no embedded profile in a browser then the images are extremely likely to look "washed out and faded". And if you're viewing images in a browser that's not fully colour managed then your images will look wrong there anyway, regardless of profiles.
I suspect you're putting Adobe RGB profile images on the Web and not embedding that profile in the images.
It's generally best practice to put sRGB images on the Web. You can work in Adobe RGB space in Photoshop but if you don't work in sRGB space then ensure images destined for the Web are converted to sRGB so there is the best chance of most viewers seeing a somewhat close approximation to what you see in Photoshop.
Photoshop's Save For Web dialog has an option to convert to sRGB. Note that SFW has an option to embed the profile in JPEG but not PNG files. There is some debate over whether the profile should be embedded in images for the Web but my personal choice is to embed. So if I export sRGB PNG via SFW, I use Apple Preview to embed the sRGB profile.

There are bugs hanging around for version after version after version. Hopefully it gets fixed but nobody knows when or if a bug will get fixed until it is.

My space bar has disappeared when I open safari, and has been replaced by other keys. I don't understand why?

My space bar has disappeared when I open safari and been replaced by other keys, does anyone know how this happened?

When you tap in the address field to type the web address, another keyboard pops up without the space bar as no spaces are need when typing the web address. Just tap anywhere on the screen or on the keyboard icon in the lower right corner and the keyboard will go away.
