Lots of noise in the windows picture-viewer - What can I do?

Hello folks,
I hava a problem I just noticed. My very first pregnancy pictures have a lot of noise after I saved them as a jpg-file. It's a pretty dark picture in Black&White. In Photoshop it looks great and I noticed that it also looks great in Windows 8 new photo-App. Only the "old" picture-viewer shows all the noise that actually isn't there. My problem now is that, if I send the pics to my customers, the could be pretty dissappointed when they see the bad result that really isn't a bad result at all. And it would be pretty stupid to tell them not to use the picture-viewer or ignore the noise that actually isn't there....
Now my problem: Did I make a mistake during the saving-progress as a jpg-image?
What needs to be done to have a good-looking result, no matter which software or program opens the picture?
Thanks so much from Germany,
Alexander
PS: The noise is now not seen in the picture above. But it is when I use the picture-viewer.

Hello again,
thanks for your help. I treid the steps you told me. "RGB Color" was already checked as well as "convert to SRGB". I tried to convert to adobe RGB and also removed the profile and saved a new JPG each time - with no difference, unfortunately.
Could it maybe have something to do with "Grayscale" since it is a black&white picture?
I'm very confused with that whole subject. The problem is that the pics aren't saved with all that noise in them, it's the picture viewer simply deceiving us. And most people use that software to watch their pics that way..... I can already imagine the complaint from the woman in the pics....
I hope you have some more advice for me.
Thanks,
Alex

You need to change your file association to open .pdf files with Adobe Reader instead of the photo viewer program; see Change the program that opens a type of file - Microsoft Windows Help

My adobe print screen will not print the size that is indicated. I have it selected to "fit" but it prints out a much smaller version of the previewed picture. What can I do to fix this? iMac user. Thanks

After downloading Firefox 5, I had some firewall issues. I am unable to use my McAfee AT&T firewall with Firefox 5. I don't like using the windows firewall. What can I do?

I can't think of any additional details other than my question above.

I had the same problem. I'm running 10.5 but on a Motorola chip. The Firefox download page is not clear on OS and machine requirements. To fix the problem, trash the newly installed Firefox 4. Download Firefox 3.6.16 and reinstall. All of your preferences and bookmarks will still be there as they are contained in a different place. Hope this helps.

Windows picture viewer fails Acrobat TIF to PDF conversion

Hi. I have some users running Acrobat Pro 9 in batch mode to convert TIF to PDF and run OCRing tasks. Some multi-page TIFs with large color pictures do not convert correctly, and some pieces are missing. We think that Acrobat uses the default picture viewer as the imaging enging or whatever. We have tried opening the images that fail to convert, using the Windows picture viewer, and the viewer fails to display all of the color image - so this does not appear to be an Acrobat problem, but a viewer problem.
Is this a known problem; is there a workaround? Otherwise can someone recommend an alternate image/TIF viewer that will work better for this process?
THANKS!

Have you tried changing the program that opens tif files by default to something else (like Photoshop or Paint) and rebooting?

Images too bright in PSE, good in Windows Picture Viewer.

Hi:
My question is this, I shot some pictures of my son last weekend, in studio,
with a Nikon D2X camera, and a softbox lightbank mounted on a Balcar
flash head. I set the camera to RAW-JPEG Fine, ISO 100, and used a
Minolta flashmeter to measure the light from the strobe. The reading was
f/8 and 2/3. The images look good in the LCD camera display, but when
I see them in my PC display, they look way too bright in Photoshop Elements 7.0,
but they look fine in the Windows XP SP3 Picture Viewer.
Why is this?. If I adjust the contrast and brightness in PSE, then they look too dark
when I check them in Windows Picture Viewer...
Also, the highlights look a little burned out in both, PSE and Windows Picture Viewer,
but the problem looks more evident in PSE. This happens often when I shoot pictures
using strobe lights.
Can you help me with this two problems?.
I have attached one of the pictures so you can take a look at it.
Thanks.

As to why the photo looks different in PSE than in Windows Picture And Fax Viewer, there are two possibilities:
1. Your display may have a color profile associated with it, either because you calibrated it with a calibrator or a profile was installed by the disk that came with your display. PSE is "color managed" and will adjust the colors of a photo based on the display's color profile, whereas Windows Picture And Fax Viewer will not. If you want fine control over accurate display of colors on your display, you'll need to calibrate it if you haven't already, and you should then only use color-managed programs like PSE to view your photos.
2. The photo you posted indicates that you've set your camera to use the Adobe RGB color space for JPEGs. The Organizer has a bug and doesn't display the thumbnails (even large thumbnails) of such photos correctly. The Organizer's Display > Full Screen (F11) and the Editor do display such photos correctly. I'm not sure if this particular photo will trigger the bug, because of the way Nikon in particular stores color profiles in JPEGs. You could see if you're getting hit by this bug by:
a. Open the photo in the Editor.
b. In the Organizer, make the photo's thumbnail as large as possible (not Full Screen view).
c. Adjust the zoom of the photo in th Editor to be about as large as the one in the Organizer.
d. Use Ctrl Tab to switch quickly between the two. If you see differences, you're encountering the bug.

Images appear fine in Photoshop cs6 and cc, but print too dark, and also show too dark in Windows picture viewer. How can I correct this? Is this a Photoshop setting issue or what?

Ok, look at your files in Photoshop. What is the profile assigned to them? You can find this out by going to the Status bar at the bottom, clicking on the right-pointing triangle and choosing document Profile from the list.
Then in Windows, go to your Control Panel > Color Management and add sRGB (if it isn't there) and select it as your default profile.
I hope that will work.

How do I get Thunderbird to open .jpg in Windows Picture Viewer?

When I was using Windows Live Mail and clicked on a jpg attachment to an email, it opened in Windows Live Mail. When I try this with Thunderbird nothing happens. The Tools-Options-Attachments tab in Thunderbird shows nothing under incoming "content type" or "action". How can I define Windows Picture Viewer as the default for this?

Hi Matt, thanks for responding, but things seem to have fixed themselves now. Before when clicking on a jpg attachment at the bottom of the email, nothing occurred, but now it opens in Windows Picture Viewer.
Whether it is something I have inadvertently remedied by my fiddling I don't know, but at the moment all's well.
cheers Russell

Why does my Mac air make a lot of noise with the fan inside?

I bought Mac air one year ago. at the beginning, I satisfied with the product. However, 8 months later, the laptop made a lot of noise from the fan inside. When I I run about 4 or 5 solfwares, it starts warmer and make noise. I feel so unhappy with this. How can I fix it. I bought AppleCare programme for 3 years as well
Thanks

The mid 2011 MacBook Air fans are pretty quiet but not silent and since they are the only mechanical decice you'll hear - there's no hard drive or DVD drive to make noise - it is possible that what you hear is normal. On the other hand, fans can go bad - bearings fail and dust an make the blades become unbalanced. None of us can help - you'll need to take the computer to a repair center or Apple Store and let an Apple repair person determine if the fans need replacing or not. If so, your warranty will cover the cost.

Set a timeout for crystal sessions while using the Windows.Forms.Viewer?

Hi,
I am looking for a way to set the timeout for the crystal report sessions when using the Windows.Forms.Viewer in a .NET application. I guess that the default value is 20 minutes (like in the entperprise installations) but we cannot afford to keep many sessions open for that long. Is there a registry entry which can be set? Or even a way to do this programmatically?
Thank you in advance,
Stratos

Hi David,
we are talking here about a standalone .NET application where the reports are installed locally (like the application itself). We are not retrieving the reports from a server. The whole thing was developed using the crystal report viewer model probably because it was easier to do so. Is there a method in this model to tell the crystal runtime to do the clean-up work either for a report (like the ReportDocument.Close() ) or for the entire runtime instance. Dispose() does not seem to help us. If you say that there is no other way than redesign then we have to consider this option also.
Cheers
Stratos
PS: What I was thinking of (as Plan B instead of using the ReportDocument object model) is to instantiate the crystal report viewer object in a separate process (.exe). Please note that we open a new crystal report viewer windows for each report, which is displayed. Closing the viewer window (ie. terminate the process) will at least then clean up and release the crystal DLLs and hopefully close the database connections. Or am I missing something here?

Hello,
Please make sure that the next button is pinned to the right side as there in the attached image.
If it is already pinned, you can try removing any embedded HTML code and checking it.

Hi, DickmoAZ.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This sounds like a permission issue most likely with the iTunes Media folder. Here is an article that will help you troubleshoot this issue.
