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

  • Why does a TIF image look blurry when placed in InDesign file?

    Hi all,
    I've placed a logo in my InDesign file that I saved out of Photoshop. It appear blurry when in InDesign and I do have it set to high image quality display so that isn't the issue. It is also set as CMYK and I haven't resized it after saving from Photoshop.
    I tried saving a jpg so it would be crisper but then I have a white box behind it when placed in the InDesign file.
    Any help is greatly appreciated as I need to send it to print but can't let it go until I'm sure it won't print like a blurry mess.
    Thanks

    Sub-pixel sampling. Read up on it. you are placing your images at odd values and it gets resampled. Can be anything from the image inside the frame, the image frame itself, some styling option in ID...

  • Why does Dreamweaver upload a blank page when i "put" a .php or .html file that I just edited. It's

    Why does Dreamweaver upload a blank page when i "put" a .php or .html file that I just edited. It's like Dreamweaver isn't putting the complete file. So when i check my work (refresh the page), it is now blank. This happens about 50 percent of the time and can occur with any of the websites I maintain. (If I pull out my macbookpro, i can edit and upload the page, but the screen is smaller and i would rather be at my desktop). I am using CS5 on a MacPro, operating system 10.7.5.

    I've never heard of that type of error before. If it were happening to me, here are a few things I would do...
    Verify it's DW
         Download Filezilla (free and very nice in reality) and make sure it uploads correctly from there to rule out connection issues
    Rebuild Site Cache
         From the Files window of your site, click the menu and go to Site > Recreate Site Cache
    Delete DW File Cache
         If the above does nothing, I'd kill my DW Cache File: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/494811
    Uninstall, clean, reinstall
         Uninstall the program, use the cleaner tool here: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html to kill everything (Adobe leaves behind things that are picked up again in a normal uninstall/reinstall) then reinstall it.

  • My images look blurry when I export or publish my site from Muse. Why and how do I fix it?

    My images look blurry, jagged, pixelated and low quality when I publish or export my site from Muse. Is there any way to avoid or fix this problem?

    The primary cause of blurring images is the less than Photoshop-quality image downsampling algorithm currently used in Muse (that was compounded in early betas due to a bug in the JPEG compression library we were using at that time). Due to work we've done for Beta 7 to improve image encoding performance we now have the infrastructure in place to enable us to take a much better image resampler/resizer (after Beta 7), so this source of blurring will be addressed.
    The other source of blurring is unique to opaque images containing line art or otherwise containing hard edges and large areas of solid color. When an image is opaque Muse will encode it as JPEG (if it's altered in Muse is a way that requires re-encoding). For line art this will introduce JPEG compression artifacts that can be noticeable depending on your eye and the specific image involved.
    There are (at least) to ways to avoid these JPEG compression artifacts:
    Resize your image before placing and avoid applying any effects (rounded corners, drop shadow, etc.) or doing any cropping or resizing in Muse. If the image is unaltered your original JPEG, PNG or GIF will be passed through unaltered.*
    Put at least one pixel of transparency in your original image. (It could be a single 99% opaque pixel.) This will force Muse to encode as PNG. PNG compression is lossless and thus doesn't introduce any compression artifacts. However, an average PNG can be 5 times the size of a JPEG for the same image, so there is an impact to webpage download performance.
    *For PSD files Muse has to encode the original PSD data into some web-friendly image format. If an image is resized in Photoshop and placed Muse won't resize/resample the image data, but it will encode it as JPEG or PNG depending on whether it contains transparency.

  • After Effects: Why does my background revert to black when I export?

    For a recent project, I chose a deep red background, but when I exported it, it was black!
    Thanks for any help.

    yancowles wrote:
    Except that if you render directly out of AE, it does use the background colour of the comp.
    The difference is that AME renders After Effects comps via the Dynamic Link protocol, which always assumes that an alpha channel is present (background is transparent) when it renders the After Effects comp. (This does not necessarily reflect whether or not the exported file has an alpha channel. You choose that in the export settings.)
    As Todd says:
    1) Best practice in After Effects is to use a colored solid layer if you want a colored background; it provides more control when compositing layers.
    2) Please file a feature request if you'd like to see AME behave differently.

  • Why does the bar code look "chubby" when I save to PDF?

    Hi, I'm designing a book cover for a client in Illustrator, and it has a bar code on the back of it. When I save the file as an .ai or a .png or .jpeg, it appears fine. But when I save the file as a .pdf (which my client will be viewing, and for print), the bar code looks like the lines have gotten bigger or run together! It's really weird...no matter which preset I use, it appears like this (I've attached a screenshot). I've also tried the "flatten transparency" and converting the numbers to outlines, but they still tend to distort when the pdf is viewed.
    Any suggestions on how to fix this, or why this might be happening? It scares the client when they see it....
    The lines in the picture are MUCH thicker than the actual bar code, and some appear to have blended together.

    Hi Mike,
    In the Preferences area of Adobe Reader, go to the Page Display tab, and
    make sure that "Enhance thin lines" is unchecked. That seemed to solve
    most of my problems with the type! Hope that works for you too!

  • Why does my Background image color changes when I place an image ?

    Hi everyone,
       I'd like to make a presentation in InDesign. I put a background image into a different layer which I called "Background" and then I create a new layer which I called "Images" and place an image with a transparency layer. When I place this image onto the Images layer color of the image in the Background layer changes. I can not figure out why It changes its color. I'd be grateful to anyone who can help me resolve this problem ?
    Regards
    Cem

    Edit > Transparency Blend Space... and set it to match the color mode of the background image.

  • Why does the library image look much better than develop image?

    I'm noticing a huge difference in IQ even after post processing between the library image and the develop image within Lightroom 2.1 itself. Any reason why? Thanks.

    In what way? The Library image is just a rendering of the Develop image. In Develop, the sharpening and noise reduction are only applied at the 1:1 view to speed it up and to not lie to you (which it would if shown at lower magnification).

  • When importing RAW files in Photoshop why does camera raw 8.6 only import 1 size?

    When importing RAW files in Photoshop why does camera raw 8.6 only import 1 size from canon 5d mark iii, in older versions I used to be able to import the files as larger images. It use to have a number of options for the images size. The option now is smaller than the maximum size used to be.

    You know what - I'm sorry
    I'd had a crazy long all-nighter session sorting out images for a client, then decided - when I should have simply gone to bed - to set up the new photoshop. At the very start I made a silly mistake, tried to sort it out then decided to call it a day, responding to your remarks with the problem still in my head but feeling more and more tired.
    Responded again to your comment earlier with the problem still in my head but not in front of me on the screen - however with a fresh head I just turned it all on, opened up PS and today could instantly see what was going on - Oops!
    Thank you for being patient with a sleep deprived photographer who must have been getting annoying yesterday
    I am officially embarrassed

  • Why is my raw image cropped when I reopen it?

    why is my raw image cropped when I reopen it?

    When you edit a RAW file, any changes you made are stored in a Sidecar file with the same file name, but with a .xmp extension.  If you find and delete that sidecar file, then the RAW file will open uncropped.  But, you only have to select the Crop tool in ACR, and the crop window with handles will appear, so you can change the crop.   Or having sellected the crop tool in ACR, the escape key wil cause your image to revert to full size.

  • Why does the Date Created metadata change when images are exported?How do I stop it from changing?

    why does the Date Created metadata change when images are exported?  How do I stop it from changing? I must have a prefernce set up wrong.

    I don't know what OS you are using, or what application you are using to view the data about your exported files, but on Windows and using Windows Explorer the "Date Created" field relates only to the date that the exported file was created, i.e. if viewed immediately after export it will show the date created as being the same date. In order to view "Capture Date" in something like Explorer, you first have to ensure you have included the Metadata as Conrad outlined above, then you have to adjust the display properties of Explorer to show the "Date Taken" field. Here is an example, part of a folder I exported back on March 3rd, note the difference between that last two dates:

  • Why does all alphabets change to capital when converting pdf to word using Adobe Acrobat XI

    Why does all alphabets change to capital when converting pdf to word using Adobe Acrobat XI

    Word 2013 uses its own pdf creator engine as far as I know. The step I performed were:
    1 - In the save settings I told word to embed fonts (sorry for the language, I have the Italian client)
    2 - Export from Word -> Save As -> .pdf adding also the table of contents/index
    N.B. I cannot use PDF/A, and in any case it doesn't embed the font
    A working solution is to use Acrobat XI to convert it or print with Adobe PDF printer, results:
    The problems are 2:
    1 - It doesn't create any bookmark and doesn't create links from the table of images to the linked images
    2 - Images, also with the preset "High Quality Printing" customized using "No compression", are really ugly and if you zoom a bit more than 100% they totally be s**t. It wasn't that way with PDF created by word.
    In the end, or I find they way to open the pdf created by word and embedd the missing font, or I find a way to make Acrobat XI creating bookmarks from the word file.
    Suggestion?

  • Why does my iPad show no sim when turning on cellular data?

    Why does my iPad show no sim when turning on cellular data?

    Check the right and left sides of your iPad for a small hole the size of a paper clip (remove your smart cover if you have one).  If you see this, then you have the wifi + cellular model.  If you do, use a paper clip to remove the sim tray (or the sim removal tool that came with your iPad if you have it) as shown in the image below. 
    If the tray has a sim card in it, push the sim tray back in to re-seat it in the side of the iPad, then turn it on to see if the error message re-appears.  If it re-appears, take it to a Verizon store and have them give you a new sim card.
    If you have a sim tray but it is empty, you'll need to go to a Verizon store to get a sim card for it.
