Why iphoto and facetime video images appear dark?

Hi all!

I have the Macbook Pro 15 inch, late 2013, OS X 10.9.4 retina. My iphoto images appear dark that they normally used to look like on my Macbook. Even when I do facetime, video seems to be dark. I first thought that there could be some problems of substantive lighthing. I tried to adjust the camera in every possible angle. If, by chance, the facetime video seems to be normal after adjustments, it will disappear in a few seconds and the video will get darker still.

Anyone know how to fix this? Your help would be very appreciated.

Thank you very much!

General representation is dark as well?

The brightness keys are easy to handle 'accidentally '.

  • RAW of Nikon D810 images appear darker after importation develop mode - why?

    Hello

    I have a problem with the LR. I shoot in raw, and after copying the files on my pc, I choose several pictures and import them into LR. After this step, I want to continue with the mode of development. Subsequently the following problem: the image in the develop mode has changed - it's much darker and the colors aren't the samet. Even if I change the example flat camera mode I get the same resuslt as the original raw file. I do not understand the problem - maybe you can help me?

    Thanks in advance

    Camera: Nikon D 810

    LR version 5.7

    The color space, running on the development module and the library module is completely indifferent to what looks like your image. It is not serious, and the difference is extremely subtle and really visible only on the screens of the range very high-end. In addition, color space in develop is not prophotoRGB, it is once again a linear gamma with primary prophotoRGB but space called MelissaRGB which is quite different, not important for this.

    He must know one thing more to diagnose your problem: when you return to the library, the images are dark or do they go back to the Lite version? If so, you are dealing with several possibilities. The first is as already mentioned a monitor profile. You should re - calibrate your monitor with hardware calibration. If you don't have that, test that possibility by assigning the sRGB profile to your monitor in the monitor properties pane. If this fixes it, you must get a puck of calibration to calibrate your monitor, the problem is caused by a bad monitor profile that has been installed by an update of the system. These are very common on the windows platform and even if other applications behave normally, that is the question.

    Second option is that your graphics card is not dealing with well GPU acceleration and omitting the color management. Test by going in the Lightroom preferences, selecting the tab performance and power of the graphics card acceleration off. Restart Lightroom and check. (update: I see that you are on LR 5.7: this option does not exist here so ignore this notice)

    If none of these fix the problem, and after that you spent to develop, the image is too dark in the library, that several other issues could occur. First is that you may have set a default value for the camera. Make sure the settings are zero on your images after importation. They could be zero if you apply a preset to the importation, or when you set a default development setting. Reset it by going to preferences-> presets, and then click 'reset all settings default development. " You see the change of the image when you go in develop because the library, firstly the jpeg preview the generated camera is shown and only when you are going to develop is the actual raw image get rendered by Lightroom.

    Another issue that could happen is that you use dynamic lighting on your camera modes. Nikon calls these active D-lighting. You must completely disable those. What the camera does when you have those active is to underexpose the image by a stop or two and then highlights the tag of the raw image with an indicator that shows the Nikon software to increase exposure compensation and make an HDR processing on the image to trigger shadows and bring down. Lightroom can not read these tags and just makes the image from raw data (which are underexposed!). In the library first see you the jpeg in-camera image and that the image was made by the camera using the HDR technique. You are better expose properly and leaving these modes if you want raw data of highest quality.

  • Why, after conversion to DNG, image is darker

    Hello

    I can not post in the appropriate point, but this assumes that the closest.

    When I use Adobe DNG converter to convert RAW, the end result seems to be abt a stop more dark that compare to jpg. So when I discovered in the bridge, I display the jpg (which is brighter) and to open the DNG format. When I use LR to convert, it seems even darker.

    Question:

    (1) why like this?

    (2) the beach Dynamics tilt to the left and find themselves one stop less on strengths?

    (3) just at the moment where I intend to shoot the photo in RAW only, I just have to keep shooting RAW + Jpg (just for viewing pleasure).

    TKS.

    RAW, including DNG images images can be darker in Camera Raw processing in camera is not recognized by Camera Raw. In camera treatment will be JPEGs, but raw images need a much more important treatment. Camera Raw does not read most of the settings of the camera.

    Ok. So I'm on a windows 7 4 GB of RAM is a laptop Compaq Presario CQ57. I use this app features to make videos. I capture images from the screen and will work very well. But once that I add text or images to the timeline, it will play or once the screenshot starts to approach close to the text / image he drags to the top and stop just before he gets there. If I start the video with the text, which is my main goal, the game screen will remain grey. the music is still playing and the bar always moves. Whats going on! HLP PLZ!

  • 46YL863: change TV channels - delay before the new image appears

    Hope someone can advise me please on an "issue" that's appeared recently with my 46YL863 TV.
    I say 'problem' rather than problem in case it's something to do with my settings, which is the cause.

    When I change channels I notice that there is a delay of several seconds of the current image to the new. I narrowed down it to this happens only when you switch from a HD channel to a one SD card, or from a SD card on a HD.

    In these circumstances the screen will first black, then blue and after a couple more seconds the new image of the string will appear.
    Switch between HD or SD channels and the new image appears almost immediately.

    This happened before the last two days, so either a fault has developed or I changed a setting in some way.

    I tried other plugs of HDMI input and the situation is the same.
    Any suggestions please?

    Thank you.

    > I tried other plugs of HDMI input and the situation is the same.
    This means that you are using an external decoder which receives signals from TV?

  • Shortcuts to my pictures, my music and my videos is locked?

    These "Access denied" shortcuts appear under Libraries\Documents\My Documents in two administrative accounts on an old computer with Windows SP1, newly installed at home since an OEM Setup disk.  (Usual folders my pictures, my music and my videos also appear directly under Libraries\Pictures, Libraries\Music and Libraries\Videos and * * are available.)  One that is inexplicably locked administrators is C:\Documents and Settings.  These locked folders/shortcuts appear or not hidden files or system files are enabled in Windows Explorer/Tools/Folder Options/View tab.  These two seem to be driven by check the box "Refuse" to "the folder list / read data" under Properties/Security/Advanced/permissions/edit the permissions/all the world/change. These locked elements do not, however, appear in a Standard user account or no hidden files or system files are activated.  I have not tinkered with the NTFS permissions on the volume C:\.

    I also have a newer computer, installed in OEM WIndws 7 SP1 which does not show either [correction follows:] locked shortcuts or the C:\Documents and Settings folder.  Although locked shortcuts are probably not a problem, I used to look in the folder C:\Documents and Settings of an administrator account in Windows XP.

    Are these from manifestations of a deeper problem, or must they be ignored?  They can / should be corrected?  If so, how can it be done safely? -JCW2

    No, those are shortcuts of compatibility.  The 'Documents and Settings' for example, which is not really a folder.  It was at the time of Windows 98, but now it's just 'users' (to make it easier to translate, the shortest path and remove spaces that are annoying when writing scripts and coding).

    But some programs do not have a variable name, they want a real spelled exactly 'Documents and Settings' folder and these bad programs crash if they can't find it.  The same programs usually crash when they ran on a different language of comptuer, because obviously the name of the folder will not be stated this way in another language.

    So for compatibility, a redirection of folder called a junction is placed instead.  You see access denied, but if a program tries to 'write' in this folder, it will be automatically redirected to the proper place.

    You can hide these junctions of compatibility by defining your default folder Options View tab.

  • Why does the video appear darker it is?

    Hello

    I used FCPX for a few years but I started on FCP and must go back occasionally.

    I don't know how or why, but the images in the viewer and canvas appears darker than it really is. But when I export without problem, everything's fine.

    Any ideas? At something I touched on by mistake?

    What's also weird is, there is no record for the FCP or FCS in the Applications folder. There should not be? In one case, shouldn't be Qmaster or something or other? I just installed FCP of FCS on my new MBP 8 months past, but maybe I trashed a few things by mistake. Should I color or any other application?

  • Help place the images - why they appear to 150% and a bad image?

    Hello

    Relative newbie here.

    I have my display performace in InDesign too high. If I "place" an image or just simply slip it on the page, and little matter which image file format I use (tif, png, jpg, whatever), when placed, the images appear about 50% bigger than the source and low - ish quality. I have then to try to manually resize them so they look good on screen and when printed.

    • Why when I place images not appear 100%?
    • Is it possible to resize images other than striking handles resize and hoping for the best?

    Thank you very much.

    OK, if the balance indicates 100% with the direct Selection tool, that's what you have. Note that using the regular selection tool (the black arrow) will ALWAYS show 100% in the areas of scaling unless you have set your preferences to 'adjust scaling percentage', this is why you use the direct Selection tool to check. You can also select the image with the tool and look at the Info Palette. the real and effective ppi listed will be the same at 100%. What resolution is currently in the range of information?

    I asked vs click, click and drag because in CS4 when you drag an image is still growing the image to fit. That's not true in CS3.

    Screenshots are generally 72 ppi to size, they are captured. 72 DPI is low for most of the printed work, but no one expects very much in terms of quality for screenshots. You really place, right, is not dragging from Photoshop in ID, which is the equivalent of collage? Paste a picture gives you only the preview screen in CS3. I'm not sure you will see a difference with a screenshot, however, since the preview will be also 72 dpi.

    If the image is really too large on the page you can evolve in ID now the Ctrl + Shift keys while dragging a handle. You must press the keys before you click the mouse in Windows because there is a bug. You can also use the scale tool, or enter a new value of the scale in the areas of scaling. You can use actual dimensions in these areas if you include units, incidentally.

    In Photoshop, you can adapt the image using Image > Image size... If you uncheck the 'resample image' the resolutiuon will change inversely proportional to size, in order to reduce the size will increase the resolution, but there will be no difference in quality during the scaling in ID.

  • Why my photo thumbnail appears darker than the original photo?

    Hey everyone, I'm trying to download some photos of new products and having a hard time. My product thumb nails appear dark before and after download, but when you click on the image, it's the original color/shade.

    I am downloading on my wordpress site, if that helps.

    For an example, please check the picture here

    Thanks for any help and advice, you can send my way.

    It is not a problem of Photos but a HTML.  The correct color image file is named all-TI-red - ls.jpg.  However, the darker version that we click on is called call-TI-red-ls - 510 x 600 .jpg.  It's a different image file, not a thumbnail.  You need to determine the creation of the darker image and why the color becomes darker or change the file to the same file which is the image of the pop-up window.

    You could ask your question in the forum iWeb as those who hang out there are designers and will have more details for you.

    Currently, you use the following code:

    http://cavecloth.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ call-TI-red - ls.jpg"title ="call it red ls">"

    http://cavecloth.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/call-TI-red-ls - 510 x 600 .jpg'alt = 'call it red ls' title = 'call it red ls' >

    To take

    http://cavecloth.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ call-TI-red - ls.jpg"title ="call it red ls">"

    call-TI-red-lshttp://cavecloth.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/' alt = 'call it red ls' title = 'call it red ls' >

    and it will be as you want it to be.

  • Why import video images to layers cut half top of each frame?

    I had been using the product very well, then I restarted my computer one day and when I went to use photoshop, what happened. I have imported the video images of layers to make a gif, but was met with each image is missing its half superior. Why? And what can I do about it? I tried to reinstall, etc.. None of this has worked.

    Thanks for the help, and it was interesting.

    Now that you have explained interlacing I'm fairly certain that's not the problem. The way which explain the video blacked out areas appears more like a zebra pattern, and I am not importing old analog, for most of the DVD.

    I opened the other clips I downloaded and they work fine. It's only when I import videos that I created using a screen recorder on my computer on which they are cut in half.

    I'm guessing that this is the problem, but I do not understand why it became suddenly one as I have used for centuries.

    I guess the screen recorder could make interlaced videos.
