Ideas
So I just loaded into a different household in the same save file (where I knew there were other photos on display) and those 3 photos are NOT black. They are displaying correctly. They were also taken with the "Crystal Clear" camera, and are also in wooden EA frames sitting on surfaces - but the quality of those 3 is "Outstanding". The quality of the photo in the other household that is now black is "Normal".
Possible pattern?
Before I heard of the photo problem I returned to a save with a new family and played and saved a few times. Didn't take photos. Then I went to my regular family in the save. Their photos were intact and I copied them to their inventories. I was able to play and save without any changes to them. I do have another family that I play occasionally in this save and they have many photos but I'm afraid to see if they are black or not in which case I can save them. I usually only put up Outstanding quality photos and use the basic wooden frames and am curious to know if the frame type is a factor. I did occasionally get black photos from smaller desk framed pictures but it didn't happen often. I may wait until February.

Alas, I loaded the secondary family and all their photos are black. They were 3 generations now gone.
