Why do photos look fine on camera, but too dark on iphoto? Have to edit almost every indoor shot to lighten

Why do my photos look fine on the digital, but too dark on iphoto? I have to edit almost every indoor picture to lighten. camera is new. have ilife. iphoto is crowded-could that be problem?

No - iPhoto probbably is not crowded (it workd up to 250,000 photos) and even if it is that has no effect on the screen display
what color profile are you using? What calibration is your screen set to?

My RAW files look fine on my camera but turn darker with a purple tint on Photoshop and Bridge

I took some pictures at a gig last night, the lighting was quite good for a change and I was really pleased with how they turned out. The lighting at the gig gave all the photographs a red tint which I don't like but they were all bright enough. As soon as I opened them up in Adobe Bridge they all looked fine one minute but then gradually started to change to a much darker purple colour! I opened them up in Photoshop and they were the same. I then put the card back in my camera and they were fine again, brighter and more detailed with a red tint. When I opened them up in Bridge again they were dark! Any suggestions on why this is happening?

Here is what we're talking about:
In another raw converter, RawTherapee, the image is almost entirely magenta:
Likewise in a raw-analysis program called RawDigger:
Finally, in Canon's DPP software we can see the image is using the Portrait Picture Style:
But if we change the Picture Style to Standard, then the lighting appears to be more magenta, again:
Which is especially apparent if we brighten things a little:
So my analysis would be that the Adobe Standard was a reasonable rendering of the raw data and camera white-balance, it's just that the camera was set to some non-standard settings, so corresponding adjustments needed to be made in Adobe software to match.

I made an iMovie, 6.0.3 using music from iTunes and photos from the Internet. It looked fine on iMovie, but when I uploaded it to youtube,some of the photo near the beginning was corrupted.What steps should I take to export iMovie for youtube?

I made an iMovie, 6.0.3 using music from iTunes and photos from the Internet. It looked fine on iMovie, but when I uploaded it to youtube, some of the photo near the beginning were corrupted on youtube. I tried a different photo, and the corruption took place at the same moment of the video. How do I prepare the video for export to get it ready for youtube? I wasn't sure whether to clik web or web streaming. Am I supposed to clik Quick Time after I clik Share?

I unfortunately cannot remember where I got the 'trrndlines' plugin... I assume that it must have been from CFX (as it is located under /Users/Dom/Library/iMovie/Plug-ins/cfx/XXXtrrndlines.bundle).
As for what it does, I also do not know, as I do not think I ever used it in my previous video projects.
At this stage, I think I just need to uninstall it so that iMovie doesnt try to use it.
Do you know how to uninstall a CFX plugin in iMovie?
NOTE: I have re-installed iMovie 6.0.4 (instead of iMovie 6.0.3), but still encounter the same issue.

PDF looks fine on screen but text does not print

PDF created from Word looks fine on screen but text does not print (graphics do). Alos loses text on FTP or Email. Windows 8.1 64bit. Acrobat XI Std. Word2013. Print to PDF from Word 600dpi, use doc fonts, download as softfont. Arial, calibrai - all fonts lost. Same issue as Phillipio61 and alacker2?.

Problem not with all fonts. Problem with arial and calibri fonts - maybe others. Times New Roman, gil sans, viner are OK for example.

Why can I not print from pages but can if I copy to text edit, I get "printer off line message " from pages ?

Why can I not print from pages but can if I copy to text edit, I get "printer off line message " from pages ? I use HP wireless printer .

Are you sure you have the right printer?
In UNIX/OSX printers are virtual links to devices and even with the same name can be trying to reach a printer via another network address, so it thinks it is another printer.

New problem of photos looking "splotchy" in imovie but not in iphoto?

I've made a bunch of home movies in imovie 08 but on my most recent one I have a new problem.
I noticed a number of photos have what I call a "splotchy" or "granular" look to them. Yet, when I view the same photos in iphoto, they look fine. I notice most of the "splotch" takes place in darker colors, especially blues and such. For example, I was in a photo wearing a navy blue shirt. The stomach to the arm of the shirt looked like I had an enormous sweat stain even though nothing was there in reality. The picture looks fine in iphoto.
On my camera, I did make one change. I maxed out the pixel count to the highest that my picture allows rather than the one below it. I think the compression is set to the maximum allowed. Not sure if this would impact it.
When I expert, I use expert settings to go to quicktime.
Any thoughts as I'd like to avoid this in the future and possibly convert this movie again to avoid the splotches, if possible.
Thanks.

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

TS3946 Aperture Book: images look fine in Aperture but not in PDF preview. OS 10.9, Aperture 3.4.5

Aperture 3.4.5, OS 10.9. When making a PDF prior to ordering a book, I note that images look fine within Aperture book module, but about 10 out of 100 images look terrible in the PDF. Shall I ignore this and go ahead and order the book?

Hi,
Strangely I'm now having exactly the same problem all of a sudden. I've been building the book for about a month now (I've made about 6 before without any trouble) and along the way have been producing a pdf of the book to see how it will look. Yesterday I noticed some of the images seemed to have lost colour when looking at the pdf version and then today, many pictures all of a sudden look exactly like the example you've supplied above.
I've tried shutting down my imac and restarting thinking it was a memory issue, have checked if I had any filters activated (which I don't and I haven't used filters in books before either), have tried repairing then rebuilding aperture, copying the book to a new library, new location, opening on a different mac and then printing again but none of this had any positive effect.
So from what I understand from your last post, the workaround you came up with was to revert to the original of each image that had the problem and then make the adjustments again?

Why are photos I deleted from Camera Roll re-appearing in CR when I put them into Albums from Photo Stream?

Last night I deleted some photos from my Camera Roll (on iPhone 3GS) using cable connection to my PC. I then went to Photo Stream (the photos were, correctly, still in there) and put some of them in Albums in the Photos app. Some, but not all, have now re-appeared in Camera Roll - and, very unhelpfully, not in the order they were taken. I don't want these photos in Camera Roll but can vaguely accept and understand if the app HAS to copy the Photo Stream photos to Camera Roll if you put them in Albums and they are not in Camera Roll already but then why are there 2 photos (in different Albums) that this is not happening for?
Any ideas/advice?

Thanks for your comments.
I connected the iPhone to my PC with the USB sync cable (I usually sync by Wifi) and opened the iPhone as a Windows window. Went to the relevant DCIM folder for the Camera Roll and Deleted them there. I checked on the iPhone before and after sycning that they had been deleted from Camera Roll - and they had. I only have one Camera Roll album (no chance of another album being synced).
They remained deleted from my Camera Roll until I put the copies of the photos held in the Photo Stream album (which I purposely did not delete them from) into an album. They then appeared in my Camera Roll again. Now, if I delete them from Camera Roll again (either direct from iPhone Photo app or via USB cable) they still reappear in my Camera Roll if I put them in an album from Photo Stream. I can see it happen before my eyes as each one appears after I have selected the photos from Photo Stream, used Share to put them in an album and then go to Camera Roll - they pop up one at a time.
It would make sense to some extent except that there are two photos (in two separate albums to the ones that are reappearing) that have definitely been deleted from the Camera Roll, have been put in their respective albums from Photo Stream but are not reappearing in Camera Roll. And, as far as I know, I did exactly the same things with them. I don't want to have the photos back in my Camera Roll but I cannot find any explanation as to why one set is appearing back in Camera Roll and these two are not.

PHP page looks fine by itself, but CSS Divs fall apart on PHP include

Hi everyone. Thanks for your help in advance, this problem I'm having really has me puzzled.
The issue I'm having is, I have two php files. body.php with content to be included and index-3.php as the container. When I load body.php by itself in the browser, the layout looks fine. When I load the index-3.php file that uses the php include function to load body.php through itself, some of the divs in the body.php file come apart.
I'm old hat at building pages with tables and Iframes, but very new at using divs and php.
Here are the two files, so you can see for yourselves:
http://www.hitn.tv/index-3.php (the container)
http://www.hitn.tv/body.php (the included)
Is this a CSS issue, or a php issue?
The index:
The Body:
                                                                                                                            Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player.

Hi there, and welcome to the forums!
Could you please provide a screenshot of the website when it is previewed in a browser/live view? This way I can better understand the conflicts that are occuring in your code.
It is always a good practice when coding a website to preview it in the browser as you code, to make sure there are no conflicts. It's important to remember that in the end, your viewers will be viewing your site in a browser, not in Dreamweaver's preview. : )

Photos look good in CS6 but grainy in other programs

I am using CS6 and doing various editing on photos. They are raw files initially and once I am finished with the editing and flattening I save them as .png files. The photos look great when I view them in photoshop yet when I look at them in Bridge or other programs (Windows), they look grainy and the colors appear muted. Any ideas on what may be the cause?

the colors appear muted.
Did you embed the profile?
Why png anyway?
As for the grainyness:

Page looks fine in browser, but layout completely messed up in DW

I created a 2 column page in DW and it looks fine in my
browser, even at different resolutions and text sizes. However,
whenever I look at it in DW, the right column drops under the left
column. It basically looks like a mess, and the person who will be
adding content will freak out. How can I fix this?

Never mind. I fixed it.

Tape plays fine in camera, but stutters when logging

Hey everyone,
I'm working on a project where we are bringing in a lot of archival materials shot on miniDV. The tape plays back in the camera, but when I attempt to actually "capture now", the camera rapidly blinks between "pause" and "play" and stops advancing.
I have a lot of background working in miniDV, but I've never encountered this.

Hi
My first thoughts are
• Project set-up are not matching the miniDV tape quality e.g. frames per sec PAL (25fps) and NTSC (29.97fps)
must be the same on tape as project set-up in Easy-Set-up.
I think You can click in TimeLine and keep down or click [cmd+0] to see TimeLine set-up properties.
( PLEASE Correct me if wrong ! )
• If material is recorded in LP-Mode on Camera ! - THEN You MUST use same Camera as recorded the tape - not even an equivalent one will do (same Brand and same type - still NOT OK) the tolerances are to small to be able to work on a twin-Camera.
I Never use LP-Mode as when Camera dies - so does all the tapes (in LP-Mode).

My web cam is too dark i cant see myself

dear my webcamp is too dark i don`t know why before its work very good my laptop model Pavilion dv6

Hello,I understand your frustration, but it would really help me to resolve your issue if you could post a screenshot of the problem. (On Windows, this can be done by pressing the "prt sc" button on your keyboard, then by opening MS Paint, and then by pasting the image into the paint file. By pressing the "prt sc" button, you are saving the screenshot to your clipboard.) If you need further assistance, feel free to reply.Cheers,Cam
