Colors changed and photos are fuzzy after exporting.

DesiRe

I have created numerous videos from digital photos, and it always went smoothly. Today I spent hours creating a new video and after exporting it, the colors were all screwed up. There was a yellow tint to all of the photographs which were not in the originals in the video. The exported photos were also fuzzy whereas the originals were not. I inserted a blank blue screen for the intro but in the video, the screen is pink! Clearly this is a software issue not an operation error.

Hope somebody has a quick answer for me!

After going through a complex elimination process, the problem with the colors was not the fault of PhotoStage. I changed the default app from Windows Media Player to Media Player and the issue was resolved!! Not sure why the Windows app didn't work but I'm not going to push my luck any further.

I'm having the same issue, but it seems to occur with any video player.

Videos look great in preview, but the exported video has pink and greenish overtones and silhouette copies of the same picture overlaid on it. How do I get rid of this to make a clean export? Could it be I've added some ” effect" without realizing it? How do I delete all effects from all pictures?

I'm making a remembrance video of photos through my mother's life for her funeral in 5 days. All help is greatly appreciated (!!!)

"The issue with pink and green overtones and silhouette-like overlays in your exported videos from NCH Photostage can be caused by unintended effects applied to your slides, image corruption, transition problems, or export setting mismatches. Such color artifacts and silhouette overlays are often reported by others using similar software, especially if an effect or filter (like "false color") was accidentally added or export codecs/settings are incompatible with your graphics drivers or video files.

How to Delete All Effects from All Pictures

Select a slide and look for the "Effects" tab on the left of the preview window or in the top "Video" menu.
Under "Applied Effects" you can see a list of currently active effects. Click the white "X" beside each effect to remove it.
For each slide, repeat this step. If you want to quickly remove effects from multiple slides:
- Shift-click to select multiple slides in the timeline.
- Go to the "Video" menu and look for "Remove Effect" or "Reset Effects" (menu names may vary by version). This will let you bulk-remove all effects from the selected slides.
  - Make sure all unwanted effects, transitions, or color adjustments are removed from each slide. If you're unsure, reset all effects for safety.
Tips to Ensure a Clean Export
Double-check that no transitions are applying odd color transformations (you can remove transitions via the "Transitions" tab for each slide).
Try rendering/exporting a small test video with one unaffected image to see if the artifact persists. If it does, check your export settings and consider updating your graphics drivers.

Notes

Sometimes these artifacts are caused by export settings or codec issues. If removing all effects does not resolve the problem, try exporting using a different output format and codec.
Check for any program or driver updates, as bugs in either can result in rendering issues.

Removing all effects from each slide as described above will help you get back to a clean export, and checking your export settings can prevent similar color problems."
