Sometimes I've had pics come to me from other places which come up black in iPhoto. The way I overcome this it to first open them in 'Preview' which is a standard application in Macs. Then I make a copy with the free and very useful image capture application 'Capture Me.' The resultant saved image from 'Capture Me' goes straight to the desktop. I then drag it to iPhoto for editing or whatever.
