Black area around / next to the photo in Windows 7 Photo Viewer

My wife has a macbook pro with windows parrallells installed. Had his screen calibrated for photography, but didn't like what he was doing to his photo - his photos were too dark.

She went to 'show the color calibration' and changed back to "previous calibration.

The color of the photo is now better (not so dark) but still not at 100% as it was before

Now what look at a photo in photo Windows photo viewer also has a black area around or beside him.

She has obviously made a mistake & should have consulted someone first - but none of us has any idea what to do from here on.

Any ideas anyone?

Help would be very appreciated

Thank you

Warren

OKAY - problem solved.

My wife has done the following:

Go to "Control Panel" / "apperance & personalization /"adjust screen resolution"/"Advanced settings"/"colour management"/"colour management"/ then under the heading"profiles associated with this device"click on"set as default profile"then it will show the calibration program that was installed and then you can click on 'delete" ".

That's it - I hope this helps someone else going through the same problem

  • Share photos added to the photo library via the menu are not visible on the Photos

    Hello

    I started using DxO OpticsPro 10 to process Raw files. When I used the share menu in this application to "Add photo" pictures are exported but not visible in the Photos app. I see that they are in the photo library (Show Package Contents > Masters), but they are not visible in the Photos in the Photos app. However if I use "Export to Application" instead of "Add photo" in DxO OpticsPro the Photos app opens and the image is visible.

    You can't always do and changes directly to the photo library - you must use the program of Photos to import photos - adding photos to the library has no positive effect (and may even cause problems)

  • How to change the brightness, contrast, and color in the photo viewer in Windows 7?

    Change the brightness, contrast, and color in the photo viewer in win 7?

    How to change the brightness, contrast and color in the windows photo viewer 7 (I used the fix option in xp and vista)
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi epse30,

    In Windows Vista Windows Picture and Fax Viewer has been replaced by the Windows Photo Gallery and there was an option to set the brightness, contrast, etc by using the Fix as you said.

    Unfortunately, this option is not available with the Windows Photo Viewer in Windows 7.

    However, Windows Live Photo Gallery has a number of easy to use tools for things like red eye fixing or clearing exposure and low light situations. Windows Live Photo Gallery gives you more creative control over your photos. You can download Windows Live Photo Gallery for free from the link below;

    The above article is for Windows Vista, but it remains valid for Windows 7 as well.

  • Photos are not print with the photo cartridge

    Hello

    I have a Photosmart e 7510 and am trying to print photos.  I have installed HP Premium paper and HP Photo cartridge installed.  When I print the photos that are green - I printed both a progress report and a report of print quality and the cartridge photo is full but the magenta is empty.  It seems to me that the photos are print with regular color cartridges and not the photo cartridge.  Or photos using all the cartridges?  I correctly on all the printer settings and chose to 'better' than the quality of the photo.

    Any help is appreciated...

    The photo cartridge is just black photo, which is used to improve the nuances of black and colors in a photo. When photos are printed colours would be used to create the best possible performance. I could replace the magenta cartridge and printing resumes and see if that solves the Green tinting the problem you are currently experiencing. I hope this helps.

  • How to close the 5 windows which are open next to the URL?

    I tried to type 5. It shows the windows open, but they do not have an X to close each.

    Once you view the list of open tabs:

    • In portrait mode, it should be a black X on the far right next to the title of the tab. This can be difficult to see on a dark background.
    • In landscape mode, it must be a gray X next to the tabtitle below each thumbnail. Maybe it's a little trickier to operate with precision.

    You can also "drag" a tab off the screen to close - tap and hold on the thumbnail and drag it off the screen.

    • In portrait mode, drag to the left or the right.
    • In landscape mode, drag upward or downward.

    I don't know what that means.  Does this mean that you try to access photos from another device?

    They will play in the Photos if you import them directly from your iPhone (without using iCloud).

    If you do so, you will see this in the lower left corner of the photo in pictures:

    Click on the "Live" button to see the movement.

  • Faint images thumbnails next to the photo enlarged via slideshow widget, light box.

    When look at enlarged single for the images in slide show > widget Light Box, a faint image of thumbnails can be seen in the background on each side of the enlarged image when the image is narrow (portrait orientation). They should be hidden by the container of enlarged image, whose filling is black, 100% opacity. The thumbnails are invisible behind the enlarged image itself. This only happens when the cluster of thumbnails is wider than the enlarged image.

    A viewer is a sort of background transparent by default, which covers the rest of the components and highlights the image etc, that opens in the Viewer. This is the default functionality of lightbox.

    The background of the lightbox is the rectangle that contains the image of heroes in Design view. In the browser, this rectangle is expanded to fill the browser window. Open the filler panel, and by default you will see that the fill is black and opaque to 90%. (Note the opacity is about filling.) The opacity of the object is 100 %.) You can change the fill color, opacity, etc. to anything you want.

    Thank you

  • Data of faces are not not in the Photos

    Hi everyone - I just discovered a big problem with the Photos this morning and it makes me a little nervous. For some reason, I am unable to use my existing tags of the faces in the Photos. I have hundreds of faces marked in thousands of pictures and have never had a problem before. When I go to the album of faces, nothing shows - it is completely empty. However, when I search a face already marked in the search bar, the data is always there, because when I search for a particular name, it will show the right amount of photos Tags. In addition, when I want to mark a new photo of a person who's already been tagged, I can't, because their existing tag does not appear when I start typing in their name.

    I spent so much time getting my faces and everything organized tags, so it's making me really concerned. I did everything I think this would cause. I use the latest version of El Capitan and would like all the advice that you guys have...

    Using iCloud photo library?

    The behavior you describe is typical for a library of Photos downloaded from iCloud.

    A synchronized iCloud library will have all the tags available faces, but not faces albums.

    Maybe the pictures for some reason any could not open your photo library regularly and opened a new one, then uploaded the photos to iCloud?

    What happened before the album of faces gone?

  • where the "photo viewer"? and windows fax

    I am trying to located 'windows picture and fax viewer' to remove the unwanted images. Isn't anyoneknow how to access this function so I can remove?

    I guess that your problem is that you want to view the files before deleting them.

    You can use free IrfanView.  It is much more powerful and versatile than Windows Picture and Fax Viewer.

    The reason why you can't find WP & FV is because it is in a file named dll enigmatic.  The following is courtesy of MS - MVP volunteer J (and assume you are using Windows XP):

    ********************************************************************************
    Try the following:

    Reach... Start / run... and type
    (or copy and paste):

    regsvr32 /i shimgvw.dll

    (Yes, the space after the 2 and the)
    After the i is necessary)

    Press on... Come in...

    You should see a dialog box stating:
    DllRegisterServer and DllInstall in successful shimgvw.dll

    Now... the following command should launch a blank Windows
    The screen image and Fax Viewer. He will say: no preview available.

    Rundll32.exe c:\windows\system32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen

    Now set WP & FV as your default viewer, and you should be ready to see the photos.

    Open a folder and click right right click a picture...

    In the menu... Choose... Properties / change button...

    Select Windows Photo And Fax Viewer, and then click on... OK / apply / OK.

    Let us know the exact result.
