YIKES! My image turned magenta!

Hi Noel, back again....
I am working on an ad that is due Monday. Because it will be printed I was working in cmyk. However, I pressed 'command' plus some unknown key on the left side of the keyboard, not the one I meant to hit, and my image turned magenta. I am freaking out because I can't find a way to get full color back. The action is not in the 'history' and command z didn't change anything either.
I am desperate. Starting over is not an option... can anyone help me? Please USING CS4 ON A MAC 10.4.9

I don't understand any of this channels stuff.... I am so grateful for you guys... You will never know. Can you briefly explain what I need to know? What the numbers mean? Why I care? And why this happened?
You are all the best!

Images turning Sold Bright Blue??

This just started in the last few days. But now some of my new images (.CR2's from Canon 50D) look great after I load them up. But once I try to change anything ... like exposure or recovery..... the whole image turns blue???
I can get it back if I use the reversal button at the top of the raw image adjustments.
I have recently applied the upgrade. I also moved my library to an external drive AND upgraded from a Canon XS to Canon 50D. So its hard to say what is causing it.
Any Ideas??

Hey Bob,
Not sure if this is related. A few months back (last fall), Apple pushed a new RAW update (I think it was v2.2) and my raw files from my Sony were Magenta cast. Horrible.
I donwgraded to v2.1 and it was back to normal. It didn't like v2.3 either. By v2.4 they had fixed it and v2.5 is fine too.
These RAW updates are a core system convertor for RAW images. Aperture does not do RAW conversions per se.
Not sure if you can downgrade to Aperture 2.1.2. Maybe someone out here in Discussion land can help you that way.
Good luck

Help. Images are magenta in Photoshop and LR, only.

I have recently installed Photoshop and LR CC on a new computer (Dell Precision T7600). Previously color-balanced and printed images are severely magenta. The files look fine in preview but change to magenta when opened. Web images, powerpoints and pdfs look fine unless opened in Photoshop or LR, at which point they turn magenta. The background color in LR and PS is not magenta. Just the images. Could it be a glitch in the CC download or a problem with the new video card (NVIDIA NVS 310). Or something else. Help. I can't work.

Your display profile is wrong, and the two color managed applications you use (which are the only ones paying attention to the display profile) are trying to compensate for the incorrect display properties.
Fix the display profile (in the OS display settings) so that it correctly reflects the properties of your display.

Entire image turns black when using the type tool in Photoshop CC

When I create a text layer, the whole image turns black. If I enter the text blindly, I will see the expected results when I finish and click on another tool. If I try to edit the text layer, everything turns black again. I am not using the type mask tool. I can select and move the layer and I can blend the layer; I just can't see what I am typing.
Using Windows 8

I had the same problem and the update of the video card driver did not help - only after changing the settings in photoshop under "Preferences >> Performance >> Advanced settings >> Basic" the problem was solved

Why are my duotone images turning black and white when put in indesign?

why are my duotone images turning black and white when put in indesign?
I have been playing duo and montotone images into indesing with no trouble. Then all of a sudden as I placew them they go black and whitre. I have tried everything from re saving, re making in photoshop and differant colours et5c. But nothing seems to wrok. The images already in my document arew fine it is just new ones. If someone could help that would be great

Can you start a new document and then load one of the duotones known to be good in the working file and have it correct? If so, try one of the duotones known to be bad in the working document in the new file. Does it work?
If no to either suggestion, can you share one of the images known to be good and one known to be bad? ZIP 'em up and upload to dropbox and plop a link here. Or, to keep the file sizes down, you can quickly make a new set and provide those.
As well, the ID version and OS info would probably be helpful.
Take care, Mike

When I duplicate or copy slides, my custom theme images turn into question marks. Why, and how can I copy themes with slides?

When I duplicate or copy slides, my custom theme images turn into big grey boxes with an 'x' through them and a question mark in the middle in their new destination. When I go look at the master slides, I see that there are now two sets of masters, one for the my custom theme and a new one just like it, but with no images.
How can I copy (or duplicate) my slides?

OK, got it ... the Power ON Factory reset procedures might have changed with GB ...
To get to a Factory reset using the Power up method:
1. Power Off phone
2. Press & Hold the HOME Button
3. Press and Hold the Power ON button.
You come up to the Triangle with the Exclamation mark & android guy.
Press BOTH the Up and Down Buttons at the same time. This brings up the Blue menu of options.
use the Up/Down arrows to scroll thru the choices. Press the POWER Button to Select the menu item you choose.
You can harmlessly test this and just choose to Reboot without doing anything, just to see how it works in case you ever need to do this in the future.
edit: It was concluded in the test group that they changed this process to align it with the new DX2 as the camera button isn't hard-wired like it is in the DX. So likely they just wanted to make this process the same for both platforms. At least it sounds like a good reason...

The entire image turn white while I use the adjustments

When I try to make an adjustment in Aperture on a photo the entire image turns white. I will try to adjust the vibrancy, brightness, or several other adjustments and it always turns the entire image white. This use to be a periodic thing that happened. Once I rebooted the computer it would go back, but it is now happending to every single image I try to edit/adjust. Can I somehow get the image to appear correctly?

When working in photoshop the canvas/image turns black

when working in photoshop the canvas/image turns black - not allowing me to view the materials. what is causing this? how can it be fixed? very frustrating when working on a file and all of a sudden it's no longer visible.

Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?
Please read this (in particular the section titled "Supply pertinent information for quicker answers"):

Auto contrast, Auto levels. image turns black

CS3 on macbook pro.
I know I should use other methods for levels and contrast but I have come across a strange problem. If I select auto contrast or auto levels the image turns black? Is there something that I have set in preferences incorrectly? How can I resolve this problem.
Many thanks for any help.

turn off Open GL in prefs and restart Photoshop

Image turns negative when cropping.

When I try to crop in CS6 the image turns negative until I finish the crop when it goes back to positive. Anything I can do to stop this?

Sounds like you have a display driver problem.
If you're on a PC, go to the web site of the maker of your video card, locate their latest release for your hardware and OS, and download/install it. Follow their instructions carefully.
If you're on a Mac or can't get a display driver from online for some reason, in Photoshop go into Preferences - Performance, and try deconfiguring the advanced Graphics Processor mode to a lower setting or even turning it off.

Using stills with effects - they are turning magenta!

I'm using imovie 6.0 because of the effects it has just as rain and fog. Although I'm getting this message lately and don't know how to fix it: This effect generates different results for each frame, which will not show up on Still Clips. I have been previously using these effects on photos and now they are turning magenta. What am I doing wrong?
Also is there anyway to get these effects in imovie 8.0? The version from iLife 09?

Hi
a. What kind of stills are You using. Using .bmp is known to get wrong color.
I use .jpg, .tiff.
b. There are more effects in iMovie'09 - but You can't add more ones.
That's one of many items keeping many of us to stay in iMovie HD 6
c. free space under 5Gb on internal (boot) hard disk gives unpredictable results
I keep mine 25Gb free or more

Portrait image turns to landscape

When I open a photoshop file with my PS CS2, the portrait format of the original image turns to landscape, it happen again with Preview, but when I open the file with PS 6.0 in OS9, the portrait in portrait, how come?

What I am saying is that not all applications recognize the EXIF "orientation" tag, which is a relatively new feature. Graphic Converter corrects the orientation tag when it rotates an image, but not all applications correct the tag. If an app rotates the image but ignores the orientation tag, some other app (like the Screensaver) will not know it is already fixed. Screensaver then rotates the image according to the wrong tag, and it ends up 90 degrees wrong. In the case of PhotoShop 6, the orientation tag had not even been invented at that time.
The solution is to set all EXIF orientation tags according to the existing display. Graphic Converter does this to an entire folder of images. I believe PhotoShop CS has that feature somewhere too.
The best solution is to never correct the orientation with software, let the tag remain that way permanently and the application renders the image according to the tag. This is for the benefit if the most ignorant computer users, the camera sets the orientation and the software handles the image according to the tag forever. Not all software is up to speed though.

Would anyone know why some of my downloaded images turn black and green when I tap to look at them?

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

Images turn greyscale when saving Postscript/PDF or Print Preview but text remains in colour?

It is in colour, until I turn on Overprint preview, or try to save the booklet as a Postscript or PDF file.
In print preview or when doing any of the above things, it goes to greyscale but the text and rectangles remain in colour?
The images have been placed from Photoshop as eps files and were duatone in PS.
Please help.

As both the engineering resource at Adobe most involved with end-to-end PDF print publishing workflows and having served at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo last year as an Industry Research Professor teaching students about modern, reliable workflows as well as variable data publishing with PDF, I find this thread fascinating.
Obviously, you can force fit PostScript for output, albeit very inconveniently and with the possibility of problems and artifacts due to the device-dependent nature of PostScript (along with flattened transparency, lack of ICC color management, and inconsistencies in spot color handling).
However, unless the university assignment was specifically to demonstrate to you how difficult and problematic PostScript-based workflows were over a dozen years ago, I am absolutely appalled that any accredited university or professional school program in design / graphic arts / publishing / printing would have you use PostScript workflows in any way.
Other than hacking around with the possibility of doing output that varies based on external variables as the job is being RIPed, I know of absolutely no advantages of PostScript over PDF in this arena and obviously a boatload of disadvantages.
As I have written many times in the past, I wouldn't advocate that publishers with extensive collections of EPS-based content do wholesale conversions of same, but for new content or when content needs revision, PDF is definitely the replacement for EPS or PostScript in any flavor.
