Image looks grainy in Photoshop CC but not in CS5

All of my images look grainy int he dark areas in CC, but not in CS5. Is there a display setting that I'm missing? Side note, the saved images look fine. They only look bad in the CC UI.

I hope their life improves and they don't feel the need to take it out others through tech support message boards. Props to sharmstr for being so cool about it all.
Well if that's how you are going to be!!!! Station is OK, but this is an old thread, and there was a full moon back then.
So is it a display problem rather than a performance one? I think it was mentioned that the artefacts a not there on saved documents. It is also one of those issues that would be fixed by resetting preferences, because the cache levels would go back to four. It actually says right there on Preferences > Performance in the History & Cache section 'Set cache levels to two or higher for optimum performance' .
There is so much good information right there among the oficial help pages
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/photoshop-cs6-gpu-faq1.html
Which makes it very disappointing that Tech Support couldn't track it down. I suspect they work more from Expert Systems than their own knowledge, so they have a bit of work to do there.

Helvetica regular font missing in Photoshop CS3, but not in CS5 on the same computer

I have both Photoshop CS3 and CS5 installed on a Windows 7 64-bit system. Photoshop CS5 has two Helvetica fonts: one TrueType and one Type 1. The TT version only offers italic and bold italic styles. The T1 font offers the full suite of bold, italic, bold italic (or oblique), and medium (or regular). This seems odd, but it's sufficient. Photoshop CS3, on the same computer, only offers me the Helvetica TT font, with just the two styles mentioned above. Why can't CS3 see the T1 Helvetica? Why does the TT Helvetica only show me two styles? In case it's relevant, I believe the Type 1 version is the only one I deliberately installed, and I recently upgraded to a 2010 version of the font made available by Adobe (to resolve another issue with Microsoft Word 2010).
Thanks in advance!

There is by default no Helvetica on PCs. Wherever those fonts come from, is some place else. Either another program installed them or you bought the font fron Linotype. The latetr is doubtful, of course, in light of what you stated. Aside from that you may wish to check your Adobe font directory (C:\Programm Files\Common Fiels\Adobe\Fonts) vs. your system font directory. For CS3 this would be relevant. Typefaces not showing up usualyl means that multiple fonts occupy the same name or the font system can't figure out things for otehr reasons...

Why does my RAW image look grainy when I export it in to Photoshop CC from Lightroom for editing?

Why does my RAW image look grainy when I export it in to Photoshop CC from Lightroom for editing?
Checked LR's setting for Ps export and they haven't changed since it was OK a few days ago? It is OK if you zoom in but in 'fit page' it looks terrible!

I have exactly the same problem and it has got worse today as the photos also now open in smaller windows for some reason

I use a mac ios and shoot raw in a cannon 5d mark ii and shortly upon import of my images lightroom darkens and changes my images. This has happened before but not every time. The strange part is my last shoot had the same camera setting but this did not happen. The images i have now i can not use after lightroom has automatically altered them even if i try editing back to how they looked upon import

First thing to do is to change the default camera profile applied in Lightroom to camera standard (assuming that you shoot Canon or Nikon). Also make sure that your camera is NOT set up to use any of the HDR modes. Nikon calls those Active Dynamic Lighting. On Canons you often see things like highlight priority mode or "Auto Lighting Optimizer". Make sure that the picture style is set to standard and that for newer Canons the HDR mode is turned off. Most of the HDR modes simply underexpose the image and then add an instruction in the raw file to compensate for this to prevent highlights from being blown out. This causes more noise in the shadows and if you know what you are doing there is no point to this as you should simply expose correctly and get the highest quality raw.
Lastly, make sure that in Lightroom you have not checked "Apply Auto Tone Adjustments" in Preferences->Presets. This should make the default rendering of the raw files the same as the in-camera jpeg (what the camera shows on the back even if you shoot raw) but still give you all the latitude of raw files.

MOV looks good in QT player but not DVDSP !

I exported a MOV from FCP using Apple ProRes 422(HQ) (my best choice I reckon) and it looked pretty sharp when I viewed it externally in Quicktime player. So, I was quite pleased.
However, when I imported into DVDSP and simulated it, the text (for example) looks poorer quality. And, having burned a disc and looked at it on a TV, the text still looks and other images still lack quality.
Why does it look good in QT player but not DVDSP simulated?

It's because DVD SP is converting it to MPEG-2 in order to put it on the disc. This will result in lower quality than your ProRes version. Also, if your ProRes version was HD, bear in mind that it will also be converted to SD for the DVD.
For best results, put it through Compressor first using the DVD 90 mins Best Quality setting with Dolby audio, then import the resulting two files into DVD SP. This will produce much better results than with DVD SP's default encoder.

Anyone have an issue where a font shows in the font list in Photoshop/Illustrator but not in Flash?

Anyone have an issue where a font shows in the font list in Photoshop/Illustrator but not in Flash?
I'm not 100% sure but i may have had flash open when installing, i then uninstalled the font and then reinstalled the font. I even tried going from an OTF font to a TTF font.
No luck.
Do I need to do some sort of font cache clearing?

I'm using Adobe CS6 Flash, Photoshop and Illustrator on MAC OSX

Yes. It's rare, but some fonts do not play well with Flash. Flash seems to have a more strict method of evaluating a font that can be imported. This is, in my opinion, probably because Flash needs to create a faux version of a font when it is imported. There may be some information that is either missing or not acceptable to Flash in a particular font and so Flash won't allow it to be used - even if you're not going to import that font.

Bug? Images look different in photoshop

Hi,
Am hoping somebody can help me as I must be doing something really stupid here. I'm currently evaluating various workflow products, and really like Lightroom but find that whenever I import an image into LR the tones, particular shadow tones, look way too dark. They look kinda posterised.
My monitor is color calibrated with a spyder. I am running Windows XP.
I've attached a link to an image to demonstrate. I took an sRGB JPEG and imported into LR. I then edited a copy in PS (exported as ProPhoto - converted in PS to Adobe 1988 colorspace), another copy is shown exported to Capture NX (also Adobe colorspace).
http://www.hamiltonconsulting.net/strange%20tones.jpg
if you look at the shadow tones in the folds of the jacket you can see a minor difference between PS and Capture NX but you can see a clear difference in LR. The shadows are way darker.
The image opens fine it every other application I have tried, including the free XP viewers. LR is doing something strange to the file but I cant work out what.
I first noticed the problem occuring in Beta 4.1 and am now getting the same issue in the new Lightroom demo ( I had hoped it was a bug that would have been fixed). I have been installing all sorts of evaluation software of late, so maybe something hasnt been cleaned out of my registry, or something is clashing.
So far, I've tried lots of different images (all with the same problem). Recreating an image database. Reinstalling LR (countless times).
Does anyone have any ideas as to what I can try or do I need to reinstall my entire PC

Yeah dude, that totally makes sense.
"I notice blocking... that... really is a function of lighting..."
Is that some sort of new-age yet-unheard-of phenomenon? If so, please elaborate by all means.
The point is that the image looks like crap displayed in the 'Library' module of LR, but looks fine in any other program. Because no other program is content with sitting around and displaying to you a low quality JPEG preview of your, say, high quality 16-bit uncompressed TIFF image.
That's why there's no blocking in the image loaded up in Photoshop. Yet it's there in LR because LR doesn't bother to render the image 'on-the-fly' until you step into the 'Develop' module.
You don't believe me? Then be happy in your ignorance.
On another note, though, instead of jacking it up to 400% when it's clearly evident at 100%, try calibrating your monitor with a hardware profiler so dark parts of images don't become a muddy mess of blacks. Be forewarned though that it's a double-edged sword: on the one hand, after calibration, you suddenly begin to see details in shadows that you may never before have seen; on the other hand, JPEG artifacts & noise in dark portions of images (inherent to JPEG compression) also become as apparent. Hence, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and figure you just can't see the blocking due to your monitor.
Finally, on a LR-unrelated note, why don't you come back to these forums when you're ready to write posts free of cheap ignorant insults?

Datagrid Image Renderer Broken in CS SDK but not Flex project

Within a Photoshop Extension, I have a DataGrid which has an inline custom image renderer whose dataprovider is an ArrayCollection called "photos" representing a list of photos and some metadata properties. One of the properties "fileName" is concatenated with a path to a thumbnail image such as source="{'LR_AUTO/imported/thumbs/' + data.fileName}".
The dataprovider is bound to a LCDS DataService. When the extension is first launched, the dataservice initializes the dataprovider with the existing values for the "photos" arraycollection. The thumbnail images are correctly shown.
However, when the DataService receives a new row and updates the photos dataprovider, the datagrid's new row shows a broken image for the thumbnail even though the path is correct. I have dumped the photos dataprovider and verified that all information is correct. When I close Photoshop and relaunch it from Flash Builder, once again LCDS initializes the photos ArrayCollection and THEN the thumbnail that previously showed as broken show up correctly.
I have a ColdFusion Directory Watcher Gateway that watches a directory where Lightroom auto-imports images from a tethered capture session. When the camera sends Lightroom a new image, the new image is processed by Lightroom and moved to a target directory, and since ColdFusion's Directory Watcher is watching that targeted directory, ColdFusion will create a thumbnail image in a subfolder and notifiy LCDS that of the new image and related metadata.
*** This is the interesting part *** When Lightroom places new images in the target directory, this is propogated to the Photoshop Extension's datagrid, and the new row shows up as described earlier, showing a broken image for the thumbnail. BUT, instead of Lightroom, if I manually copy images to the folder where ColdFusion is watching, then exact same code path is exectuted and in the Photoshop Datagrid the new row appears and THE THUMBNAIL IMAGE shows up correctly.
The difference seems to be only in how the images are put in the original target location. The problem is when Lightroom puts them there, but it works when I put them there as a user.
*** More Interesting Info *** I have the Flex code for the Photoshop Extension duplicated in a standalone, non-CSSDK project using Flex 3.4 which I launch in a browser. I have mirrored the code in the Photoshop extension, but in this manner, the problem does not exist. With plain Flex 3.4 in a browser, whenever LCDS notifies the datagrid of a new photo record, the datagrid's new row ALWAYS shows the thumbnail correctly.
A primary difference in how the thumbnail image is rendered is that in a browser, the Flex 3.4 project accesses the image assets over the network, however, in the Photoshop Extension, the image asset WITH THE SAME RELATIVE PATH is accessed over the local file system.
source="{'LR_AUTO/imported/thumbs/' + data.fileName}"
So in the case of the browser, this path is a relative URL and the image is retrieved over HTTP, however, in the PS Extension, the same path represents a file system path relative to the project folder.
Unfortunately, because the Flash Player (including APE) cannot access BOTH the network and the local filesystem, so I cannot change the Extension to use network access.
** The important part to remember is that when I stop the Flash Builder debug session and close Photoshop, then relaunch the debug with Photoshop, then all the images show up correctly in the Extension.
Your advice is appreciated.
Thank you!
Steve

The image on the left in PS looks the same in Picasa Image

The image on the right in LR is how the picture looks when I look at my image in Firefox but in Internet Explorer and in Chrome, the image looks like the image on the left in PS. The image below shows how the thumbnail looks different from the actual picture when it's double clicked and viewed in Picasa. The thumbnail (which shows the subjects having green skin) would be how I saw it online while the double clicked version is how I saw it in PS, even though it was sRGB (I checked the image properties to make sure of the color space).
I have a ATI 5470 GPU on my ASUS 17.3 inch laptop. Not sure about the drivers.

Image Capture connects to card reader but not camera

Image Capture and iPhoto do not detect new connected Canon camera. Will read card via card reader. Camera will connect to older macbook iPhoto and Image Capture but not my iMac. Image Capture in Mountain Lion has no perferences anymore. Tried Repairing Disk Permissions but no success. Any ideas?

Sorry, there is no setting on the AirPort Extreme card built-in your new iMac that can be tweaked to "force" a connection to the Netgear's "n" network.
Does your Netgear allow for different Network Names (or SSIDs) for each of its radios? If so, you can try an experiment by renaming the 5 GHz radio's Network Name, and then, specifically connect the iMac to it.
Also, since "n" can operate on either radio, it appears that your iMac is "locking" on the 2.4 GHz radio. Does your iMac have any trouble connecting to any other "n" Wi-Fis? If so, then there may be a problem with either the AirPort Extreme card or the internal antennae on the iMac ... and it would warrant a visit to your local Apple Store to have them take a look.

Why page looks fine in Design view but not live view?

I am new to DW. I created a page that looks fine in design view but now I cant get it to show up in live view or the browser preview. Can some one give me some areas to troubleshoot. Most of the code is from a previous page I created that still looks fine in every view. I am not sure what I could be doing different in setting up this site.

Thanks for taking the time to reply to question. Aftr taking a break. I came back realized I inserted the stylesheet before I changed site settings. I just needed to remove the forward slash from my stylesheet declaration. FYI for anyone else new to DW: if stuffs not showing in Live View and Browser Preview eg background images, Go to Manage Sites and check your site setting for Links relative to: You may have switched between document and site root. Thus breaking your links to images or in my case the entire style sheet.

Image looks different in Photoshop and Lightroom

I started a forum on flickr and I have some issues with my images. I have calibrated monitor but my images look off online even though I saved them as sRGB. Now my image looks one way in PS and then when I finish editing it and save it, I import it into lightroom and it looks different.
Same image, but it looks different.

The image below shows how the thumbnail looks different from the actual picture when it's double clicked and viewed in Picasa. The thumbnail (which shows the subjects having green skin) would be how I saw it online while the double clicked version is how I saw it in PS, even though it was sRGB (I checked the image properties to make sure of the color space).
I have a ATI 5470 GPU on my ASUS 17.3 inch laptop. Not sure about the drivers.

Background image displays locally in HTML5 template but not when published

I have used an excellent HTML5 template which uses JavaScript to display background images. However while this file works locally it doesn't when published. The site structure is sound and I notice this happens with the source files I downloaded also so it's nothing I have done in my build which could have caused this.
This is the link to my site, everything is fine except the background image not showing.

Any ideas, as I say fine locally, not fine when published?

Hi Kyle,
I realise you posted your question a couple of days ago but it looks like your background image issue may now be fixed?
In any case, your site has a few issues. Not sure who told you the template was HTML 5 but they might be yanking your chain. There is nothing HTML 5 about the code used and the DOCTYPE is from HTML 4. As such, some of the code you have used is throwing up errors - some related to the DOCTYPE and some where you haven't closed the tags:
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.khawkinsdesign.com%2F&charset=%28detect +automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0
<ul id="footer-nav">
<li><a href="index.html">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="portfolio.html">Portfolio</a></li>
<li><a href="about.html">About</a></li> /*The closing tag is missing in your code */
<li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li> /*The closing tag is missing in your code */
</ul>
It would be best to amend the errors but some might disappear when you add the HTML 5 DOCTYPE in to your code. Things like your lack of "type" on the sources is a required v4 attribute, but not in v5.
<!DOCTYPE html>
Have a read through this for more info - this is a great resource for everything HTML 5. http://diveintohtml5.info/

EDIT:// It seems that the DOCTYPE is the 5 version on all but the home page so you may only have one to correct. However, there are still no HTML 5 elements used to take advantage of the new DOCTYPE.

Imported image looks grainy

I imported a Word file that contains an embedded image. The
image looks really grainy inside the RoboHelp topic after import.
It's recognizable as the same image, and sort of readable, but it
looks bad. Is there a way to make it look better by importing it
differently, or by changing the Word file before import?
I would include it here but the forum doesn't allow
attachments.
Thanks.

I imported Mitch's docx file into RH7 and got the same
result.
I then saved the docx file as a web page filtered as that
gets Word to save the images to a sub-folder to the htm file. The
image was saved as a gif. I then ran a simple test to confirm that
Word saves images as their original format so Mitch's source image
was a gif.
I took a screenshot of the image and saved it as a jpg. That
was then inserted into a docx file which then got saved as a web
page filtered. That confirmed the image was still recognised by
Word as a jpg.
I imported that document into RH and none of the grainy
appearance.
So the problem seems to be that the source image was a gif.

Image looks grainy in Photoshop CC but not in CS5
