Problem Solved! MikeTO opened the door to finding the answer. I went through his Expert Guide to File > Document Set-up. That's where to choose color and other file choices. I am making a black and white photobook on a commercial (black and white only) inkjet printer. I had simply set my color to Grey/8 and Black and White under the color choices. It turns out that the Black and White setting has no white in it, just black. I discovered this by toggling back and forth through the choices and my totally black picture. I tried all the b/w settings and all were good except Black and White. Go figure. Thank you all who put in the time and know-how to help me. The difference between plowing through video tutorials vs. looking things up in MikeTO's fine Expert Guide is in time saved. Tutorials are good, but for me a "how to" book can address my needs directly. Frank

Mike, Thank you for creating the Expert Guide to Publisher. I will go through it, following your directions to see if I can find what I am doing wrong. I have uploaded jpgs today. I apologize for any repetitions. I don't have all black files because I keep deleting them. I will work from your guide today and see if I at least come away with a black afpub file to upload.

I have tried to download afpub, jpg, psd and tiffs to my Publisher V2 with only black results. When I first started using the program I had success with a couple of photo files. Now I can't get any picture to appear as an image. Everything loads black. I figure I messed with the wrong tab when I was first using the program. I have something set wrong somewhere in my process. I don't know how to download a black picture from Publisher to show you. I can only make a screen shot. Here are 2 files that turn black when I load them to Publisher.

How do I make an afpub? I con't do it in Photoshop. I have noticed that some of my files turn into afpub, but I don't know how. Also, when I loaded an afpub file, it still turned to black.

This picture appears as total black with a white highlight where the wall lamp is shining. This happens whenever I follow the tutorials on how to upload a picture. Uploading never works. I can't get it to look normal. I have the same problem with most of my pictures. What am I doing wrong?
