Photo Preview is SICK (GREEN SCREEN) El Captain

I also HAD this problem.

In preview, I selected RESIZE image (Tools) to at lest one dimension smaller and Preview screen appeared normal as did the photograph.

However when I enlarge the photo (zoom in), Preview crashes or the green screen returns.

Not a big deal for me to see the photo at a slightly lower resolution on screen.

If I were to print he photo, all appears normal since the original image size of the file does not change.

This is after installing CAPTAIN.

Apple please take note.

Thanks All.

I'm having this issue as well. It only happens with photos that have certain color profiles ("sRGBIEC61966-2.1" is the only one I'm using that has issues), but seeing as it's impossible to view these photos in Preview, I've temporarily changed the default photo opener to Safari so I can quickly view them if needed. I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one with this issue! Hopefully Apple will fix it in one of the next El Capitan updates.

Thank you for another reason to not update -- Quite a number of my photographs have that color profile - you may want to give that information to Apple through Bug reporting. Would help if all with the problem gave the color profile in question.

I will definitely be reporting it. Thanks!

Updating to 10.11.1 did NOT solved the problem. 😠😕

I have the same problem. I saw this fix somewhere else...goto Preview...Preferences...Images...and change to "Size on screen equals size on printout".

Thank you for this information.

The same green screen when zooming in preview .jpg files happens in my MacBook Pro Retina 13´bought in 2014 after updating to Capitan

Do you mean something like this? =( because i just realised i have the same problem, not with all my images though but with a good amount of them =( i was worried i might have caught a virus from somewhere , i think after upgrading to EIcapitan?? i dont know i upgraded last week but yeah =/ hope this gets fixed i have portfolios to make x_x

Lana, That is exactly what the problem is. I was having the "green screen" problem on some of my images, but not all--just like you. On my machine (Macbook Pro mid 2014) some small image opened and some didn't. Some large images opened and some didn't.

However, in my case, the upgrade to version 10.11.1 fixed all my issues with preview. I now can see all my images without a problem.

Yes, I got the same problem.

It is not possible to view pictures in standard app....

To view photos, I have to import it to Photos app - the simplest way to do avoid this bug

When it will be solved? Any ideas?

I had the problem, but the latest version of El Capitan fixed it for me. Do you have the latest version? if not, download it. In my case the problem went away.

Thank you for feedback,

But I have the latest version of El Capitan...

The funny is - when I zoom picture - green screen disappears for a moment)

I have a brand new Mac mini with El Capitan and I have the same problem with green screen on larger (especially portrait format) jpegs
They can be viewed in actual size but some green blocks still appear.
I tried "size on screen equals size on printout" and restarted but it does not help.
I see no recent solutions above.
It is rather disappointing as I work a lot with photos and Preview should be what it's name suggests.
When will this be fixed Apple?

Hi Everyone on this thread...

I have a similar but slightly different problem...the upgrade to El Capitan now boosts the color of all my photographs by 30 %!

All my legacy photos (sunsets, skies, etc.) are too strong : the reds and oranges even the blacks. Does not matter which app I open them

in PS, Preview, Pages, Safari, the stored image has a huge color boost. And the new epson printer faithfully prints the over saturated color

image just fine. Now I have no way to quickly print a copy when we sell one...more trial and error.

Anyone have a similar experience or solution?

Cheers

Toby
