Maybe somebody know what's going on(Help)

[TheComedian]

Ok, first off, I'm going to post this and go to sleep, so don't expect a reply to any questions tonight you may have about my question..

Having said that, here we go. I was saving pictures a while ago and I noticed that some of them, in no real kind of order, have a orange tint when you open them for the first time, and if you rotate the picture it gets oranger and oranger until it's about neon orange. I can't fix the picture once this has happened. Now not all of my pictures that I have downloaded tonight have this problem, and I checked a few random other older pics I have to see if it's some kind of stupid virus, but it doesn't seem to spread. I tried rebooting and redownloading the pics that were having this problem, but that didn't work. That's about all of the info I can provide and before tonight, this has never happened. Anybody know what this is?

p.s. - All of the pics were downloaded from imagevenue and nowhere else and from seperate people posting them, so it doesn't seem to be a site problem or a certain person problem.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

anybody?

Sounds like the images have some effects. Open it in a picture editor then try and play with the effects.

What type of computer monitor do you have? Have you tried to use the monitors controls to fix this orange problem; because this sounds like a gamma problem.

 

[TheComedian]

I have 2 monitors and when I drag the pic from one screen to the other it still does the same thing.

 

[TheComedian]

nothing else is turning orange though. just these few certain pics.

You haven't been eating cheesy wotsits whilst looking at those pictures

 

[TheComedian]

haha i never thought of that

 

[jamrak]

can you provide a link to any of that "orange" pictures?
or, even better, upload a few of orange images at imagevenue yourself, and give me the links to uploaded images. I want to check if they will be orange at my computer too.

That would be very helpful. Also, what software are you using to open and rotate them?

Without seeing the files themselves, my best guess is that they might have a color profile attached to them that isn't being converted correctly by whatever software you're using. I've never heard of this particular problem, though.

I wasn't likely to be a monitor issue and now that you've established that the only thing it can be is the effects and/or coloring of those images.

Open the pics in an editor and adjust the effects and/or coloring until the picture looks normal.:2 cents:

 

[TheComedian]

I'll look for the pics and post the links and see if anyone else has this problem or just me... gimme a minute...

I found those.. I'm opening them with Windows Picture Viewer. I haven't had the problem with any pics of any other girls but those 2 and a couple more of her I got from the same place.

p.s. - It's Lindsey Vuolo (pb chick)

Because of the dimensions of this picture, rorating it might permanenly reduce it's quality. Rotating a picture saves it using the original name. To save a backup copy first, see 'Copy an image' in Help.

Do you want to proceed?

[ ] In the future, do not show me this dialog box




Normally I ignore this piece of text (luckily I've never checked the do not show me this message dialog box), but in this case it seems that they were actually telling the truth (cause I think that's what happening to the image... The quality is reduced to basic colors?).

 

[TheComedian]

ah. good to know. thanks

Gordar, are you sure about rotating? I work with computer graphics for some time, and I am pretty sure that standart rotating for 90 degrees (180, 270, 360 etc.) does not affect image quality. As well as mirroring the image. Only rotating for custom angle (like 7, 1 deg etc) affects image quality... As far as I know, windows picture viewer can only rotate pictures for the right angle, so it can't cause troubles with quality.

I downloaded the image, and rotated it in the ACDSee and Photoshop - and I didn't get any orange effect. According to the file properties, there was no color calibration applied.

This is very strange issue, I can't even guess why could it happen

Any other ideas?

Windows Picture Viewer won't do lossless rotation of a jpeg at any angle if its dimensions aren't a multiple of 16. It has to redefine the file's MCU and recompress the whole image, leading to a slight loss of quality. However, I've never heard of this particular problem occurring with lossy jpeg rotation. If anything, the recompression should be desaturating the picture, not oversaturating it. Dunno :dunno:

The good news is that there are a whole pile of free Windows programs out there that will do lossless jpeg rotation for pictures of any dimensions. I know IrfanView has a pretty good reputation. Unfortunately, I'm on a Mac, so my ability to help is limited.

 

[TheComedian]

I dunno guys. It hasn't happened to any other pictures therefore I'm guessing it isn't a virus or something like that. It's weird that this hasn't seemed to have happened to anybody else heh.

It's the dialog box you get when you want to rotate using the windows picture viewer... I've tried to rotate the pics using multiple programs as well and they only turned orange in picture viewer... :dunno:

 

[jamrak]

According to what No_Man and Gordar said, the best suggest is just not to use Windows picture viewer. Yeah, it well might be another microsoft software glitch! How else can it be explained, if rotation in other picture viewers does not cause any problems?

Since there are endless bugs in the internet explorer, why can't it be a bug in the picutre viewer?

Try to use ACDsee or any other alternate viewers suggested in this thread...
