Hello,
Can anyone tell my how I import my photo's in the correct way? When I do it now the colors seem to change and the photo's look greyish...? as if there is a gloomy layer on it. What can I do to get the same bright, colorfull images in my document?

Thnx!

Hi

Hi

We need more information to help diagnose the issue(s) you are having:

The format, resolution and colour space if the images displaying this issue.

  • Download and install MediaInfo and analyse one of the images and post the results, see this tutorial on how to setup MediaInfo and do the analysis, though the procedure refers to a video clip, the process is the same for images, post all the data from the analysis.
     
  • A screenshot of the project settings.
     
  • Was there any error dialog that popped up when importing the images, if so what was the message?
     
  • Are the computeer/laptop graphics card/integrated GPU drivers up to date?
