ACR 8.7.1 Image Saturation issues...

I just upgraded my CS to the latest versions ( CS6, LR5, and ACR 8.7.1) and when I open an image in ACR it is pretty blown out ( saturation is very high ). When I open the image in LR or Photoshop it looks ok, but the ACR image is pretty bad. Anyone else ever seen this? I took a set of pictures of a Greytag color chart and then opened them in LR, PS, and ACR. The LR and PS match but the ACR image is much higher saturation and lower contrast. Re-installed the software over the course of the day and don't seem to be able to fix this one...

Are you opening OLD images or recent images. You may need to check Previous Conversion.
Try resetting ACR to Defaults. To reset to defaults, while in ACR...

Image quality issues in PS - word to PDF

Hi,
I am having major image quality issues when trying to make my word document a clean, clear PDF. Images become distorted. Borders for tables and text that are equal px size look like they are different sizes throughout the document.
I have searched the internet, read help, and tried many different things:
Word 2007 - Changed image %, image size, export options, adjusted px for borders, used different styles
Acrobat 9 Pro - Changed import settings, import options, print options, tried press quality, high quality, etc.
Photoshop CS4 - Changed ppx, file format, compression options
What can I do to get a clean, clear PDF file with the images and borders preserved?
Thank you.

In converting a MS Office file to PDF, Photoshop cannot help in any way and will likely cause more harm as it may rasterize vector data. Expect your ideal answer in the Acrobat forum.

More Image/stylesheet issues

Hello again,
Just wondering if anyone could give me some quick style sheet issues, have an img class that looks a little something like this:
img {
border: 5px solid #adadad ! important ;
padding: 5px ! important ;
margin: 4px, 4px, 4px, 4px ! important ;
-moz-border-radius: 15px;
-webkit-border-radius: 15px;
border-radius: 15px;
Which works like magic for getting me a nice curved border in most modern browsers.
Now there are one or two small icon type images that I need to not have a border as they are actually within the text - can anyone think of a way of setting up RH9 so that I can have an image that doesn't follow these styles?
I am sure it will be to do with over riding these styles but not sure how to do this because it is not like I am selecting a style for the image files - they are just getting their styles from the img selector...
Anyone got any suggestions?
much 'preciated.

Hi Willam
I'm a bit confused by what you suggested. You seem to be implying that this won't work and the image paths will break. But I've not found this to be the case. I just tested by creating an image and later creating some nested subfolders and using the variable in topics in each of the subfolders. I then generated WebHelp and viewed and I had no broken images at all. RoboHelp was able to manage the relative pathing to the image without issue.
Have you noticed otherwise?
I'm a believe in erring on the side of caution, but it would seem that (for me anyway) the worry is unfounded.
Cheers... Rick

Can I use ACR tools in an image already opened in PS5?

If I have opened a RAW image in PS5.5 and it has several layers already modifying the file, can I convert the bottom layer to a smart object and then use ACR tools like de-fringing, etc.? I notice flaws in the image that would be corrected that way, and I don't want to start from scratch. I am able to make the layer a smart object. I don't know how to invoke the ACR tools.
This image arrived from Lightroom with "no Lightroom effects" chosen at transfer, if that makes any difference.
Thanks in advance, folks.
jonathan7007

If you open a RAW file through lightroom there may be a way have Photoshop open it as a smart Object I do no know I do not use Lightroom. If you open the Raw file through the Bridge or Photoshop in ACR which is a Photoshop plug-in ACR can open it as a Smart Object layer in Photoshop where the embedded object is a copy of the RAW file and Adobe RAW conversion engine settings. Embedded object can be reopened. If the embeded is a RAW File it will open in ACR. If the embedded object is a Tiff or Jpeg file it can be openned in ACR or Phptoshop. If the embedded object is a raster layer or a grout pf layers that have been converted into a smart object these smart object can be opened in Photoshop. When a Smart Obkect is reopen in ACR or Photoshop it opens as a temporay work document the when changes are made and committen by ACR or Photoshop the original reopened smart object will be upstare with the changes made to the work document .
If you open the RAW file through Lightroom or ACR into Phoroshop as a RGB image a background layer its a raster layer converted to a smart opject it would not open in ACR. However there is a Photoshop Script you can Download from Russell Brows web site that you could run with the Background Layer the active Photoshop target. The Script would save the Active layer as a Tiff file and then Place the tiff file into the current document as a smart object layer where the active layer is. This Placed Smart Object layer contains a copy of a tiff file that was saved using the active layer after the place operation the Tiff file and the old active(ie background image) layer are deleted. If your ACR preferences are set to open Tiff files doubling click on the smart object icon in that layer in the layers palette will open the Tiff in ACR.

Please help out resolve this issuse.
Thanks in advance

The only work around that I found was to rename the image file. Once renaming occurred, the image file when updated was rendered correctly. I have read an earlier bug report that claimed this was fixed. I do not believe it to be so. If anyone has any additional information please present it.

Image Quality issue with script

So I recently wrote a simple script to output an image at a bunch of different resolutions. However, I am running into an image quality issue that I don't run into when I do the same thing manually.
Here is an example image showcasing the image: http://terminalvelocity.ca/temp/notworking.jpg
As you can see along the top of the model's forhead there is destinct color fragmentation. Which seems very strange.
Here is the script, it is pretty simple, it asks for a few simple config options. (the above image was created using default settings). It then figures out the correct ratios and loops through doing each resize, saving the image, then reverting the history so each iteration uses the original image data and not the resized version:
doc = app.activeDocument;
openFilePath = Folder.selectDialog ("Where do you want the images to be saved?");
maxSize = Number(prompt("What would you like to be the maximum length of the long edge? (Image is never upsized) (pixels)", 2800));
minSize = Number(prompt("What would you like to be the minimum length of the long edge? (pixels)", 100));
gap = Number(prompt("How much smaller should each image be? (pixels)", 100));
quality = Number(prompt("What quality would you like the JPG exported as (0-12)", 10));
var size;
var primary;
var secondary;
if(doc.width > doc.height){
          primary = doc.width;
          secondary = doc.height;
}else{
          primary = doc.height;
          secondary = doc.width;
var ratio = secondary/primary;
var size = [];
for(var i = maxSize;i>minSize;i-=gap){
          var p = i
          var s = i * ratio;
          size.push([p,s]);
var w;
var h;
var n;
for(var i in size){
          if(doc.width > doc.height){
                    w = n = size[i][0];
                    h = size[i][1];
          }else{
                    w = size[i][1];
                    n= h = size[i][0];
          if(doc.width >= w && doc.height >= h){
                    doc.resizeImage(w,h,null,ResampleMethod.BICUBICSHARPER);
                    jpgFile = new File(openFilePath+"/"+n+".jpeg" )
                    jpgSaveOptions = new JPEGSaveOptions()
                    jpgSaveOptions.embedColorProfile = false
                    jpgSaveOptions.formatOptions =
                    FormatOptions.STANDARDBASELINE
                    jpgSaveOptions.matte = MatteType.NONE
                    jpgSaveOptions.quality = quality
                    app.activeDocument.saveAs(jpgFile, jpgSaveOptions, true,Extension.LOWERCASE);
                    doc.activeHistoryState = doc.historyStates[doc.historyStates.length-2];
In comparison, here is an example of an image of the exact same resolution that does not exhibit this issue at all:
The steps taken to save this image were as follows: http://photography.terminalvelocity.ca/content/images/2012/avery_konrad_6/horizontal/1500. jpg
Image > Resize > Bicubic Sharper (1500px);
Save For Web
     Jpeg
     Quality 75
     Optimzed: true
     Progressive: false
     Blur: 0
     Convert to sRGB: true
Anyway, as you can see, The manually exported image does not have any of the quality issues that are present within the scripted image. I am pretty new to photoshop scriping so am assuming it has something to do with me missing some sort of option in the save settings. Any help would be swell.
Also note, this doesn't occur on all images, I usually don't see an issue when using the script, however, something about the tones of this particular photo make it really obvious.
I am using the latest version of Photoshop CS6 (creative cloud) on Max OSX
thanks so much!

I'm on windows find the bicubicsharper does not work well it the image being resized has been highly sharpened all ready. Because of my Photoshop preferences I had to make minor modification to your script. I'm also a bit colorblind so i don't see many color issues so I include a screen capture if what windows does with your image and script.

Bizarre Lightroom image quality issue

I have a weird image quality issue with Lightroom, when opening RAW files (haven't tried it with any other file format, admittedly).
Here's an example of how the image appears in Lightroom. As an experiment, I exported the image as a TIFF and opened it in Gimp to see if it was just down to a display issue, but the exported TIFF showed the same quality issues as Lightroom. Aside from exporting as a TIFF (and then saving as a Jpeg), this image is SOOC:
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/swisstony10/4912360565/" title="IMG_4134 by swisstony10, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4093/4912360565_5891c0160f.jpg" width="333" height="500" alt="IMG_4134" /></a>
If I open the same image in Canon's own DPP software, this image quality issue does not occur, so I know that it's not an issue with the memory card, the camera, or my laptop's monitor. The SOOC image from DPP (exported as a Jpeg) looks like this:
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/swisstony10/4912362053/" title="IMG_4134b by swisstony10, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4116/4912362053_1ca92078c9.jpg" width="333" height="500" alt="IMG_4134b" /></a>
Has anybody else experienced this, and if so, is there a fix? (there had better be - I'm not going to be overly chuffed if my expensive Adobe software is being outperformed by the free stuff.. )
Russ.

This is proving to be an extremely helpful forum!
Thanks for the advice on embedding my calibrated colour space - I don't very often send files anywhere other than my own home network (where all the monitors are calibrated), and when I do upload any to Flickr, it's never caused a problem in the past (and if I get anything printed by a lab, I use their ICC profile). I'll definitely keep that all in mind though..
Here's the original RAW file of the image I used as the example https://www.yousendit.com/download/aHlUa3ZONmNFd2Z2Wmc9PQ - I hope that helps someone to shed some light on what's going wrong. From what you've said though, it does look as if this is just an extreme example of something that Lightroom isn't very good at doing.
As I said in my original post, it'll be a bit disappointing if that's the case though, because a fair amount of the pictures I take tend to be of bands playing in what are, let's face it, diabolical conditions for photography. (At the festival I was attending at the weekend for example, all of the photographers - even the seasoned pros - were moaning about how awful the lighting was in the Big Top, and how much it sucked to try and get a decent picture there, as opposed to the main stage where everybody wasn't completely backlit by either red or purple lights. I appreciate that Lightroom is a much more powerful tool than Canon's DPP - the noise reduction controls on their own completely rock - but I must admit I'm a bit surprised that it can't handle highlights terribly well...

Image Persistence - Image Retention issues - iMac

Hello everyone. When is Apple going to fix all the image retention issues, or as Apple would call it image persistence? I find it to be horrendous that Apple is calling this "normal". There is nothing normal about having an image ghosted or stuck on your display. I hope Apple gets with LG on this and fixes these issues because a fix is long overdue. This has been plaguing iMacs for years now. I have had 2 iMacs in a row that have had this issue straight out of the box. Can anyone tell me why some IPS displays do this and others do not? Is this because Apple is buying junk from LG?

ACR & IPHOTO--processing multiple images

I am wondering how I can open multiple pictures in ACR from IPHOTO to process?
Thanks a bunch..I have been trying to figure this out forever!!
Jenny

I'm not sure it's possible to do it directly from iPhoto. It's frustrating me as well!
In the Finder, if you have multiple raw images selected and right-click and select Open With Adobe Photoshop Elements, it will open in ACR with all the image preview to the left. You can then select one, some, or all of them and apply the same settings.
In iPhoto though if you select multiple raw images and right-click and select Edit in external editor, the images will open one at a time.
ACR does let you change how it processes each new file. If you select Previous Conversion, once you process the first one, you can use the same processing on the next images.
Another way around this is in iPhoto, right-click and select Show File. This will open the Finder and you can then select multiple images and precess them all at once. This really isn't a very good solution though because it adds another step and you have to find the images agan.
Hope this helps and if anybody else knows how to do it from iPhoto, that would be wonderful!

Image burn issue

Hi all, I am having the image burn issue on my sony vaio duo 11 like. Please check the following link for the images. In my case the burn is visible when the background is grey and I work in the desktop mode for some time. I request your feedback and help in solving this issue. http://bit.ly/11FTG08 [with comments] See the bottom. You can see Windows notification area there   You can clearly see a white navigation bar of google chrome which is opened in the desktop mode
  I have taken all of these pictures with my mobile camera which is 3 years old. Otherwise the imageburn is very clear and distinct to me. Best regards,Naveen.

kamesh419,
This is working as intended. It is the transparent function of Aero. If the user switches back to desktop view, you can see some of the Start Menu background. This is not a burn in issue.
If you want you can turn off Aero and the transparent image will go away both in the Start Menu and also from the Desktop view.
Turn off Aero
1)      Go to the Start Menu
2)      Type Computer
3)      Right click on Computer and select properties
4)      Click on Advanced System settings
5)      Select Settings under Performance
6)      Select “Adjust for best performance”
7)      Click apply and ok.

Yes, I see that the image on your server itself is cut in half. Maybe a timeout issue when you're uploading from Dreamweaver. Try Filezilla. Has a better timeout for ECONN uploads.
To add to John's solution, if a normal upload in Filezilla doesn't work, try doing an ASCII mode upload in Filezilla. This has proven to be a common fix to most image upload issues.
Also, I'd recommend you normalize your filename - use lowercase only and please please please replace spaces with underscores _ or hyphens -

Image quality issue in ACR

Hi, Can anyone help me?
I have been using ACR for a while now as a professional photographer, however I have recently started using Alamy picture library. They rejected all my submissions on quality grounds, as they 'lacked definition'. In consulation with another photographer, we have tracked the problem to ACR; the images appear perfect on his mac, and they also appear perfect on mine when I use the Nikon Software. The same quality issue appears in lightroom as well, therefore it is Adobe related. The Sharpening settings are as per ACR default.
I am using CS3 and ACR 4.6; Some have suggested upgrading to CS5, however surely I shouldnt need to do this, as the Nikon D3 was brought out before I started using CS3, so it should work?
Please please any help would be appreciated as this problem is driving me insane; I currently have to open all of my RAW files in the Nikon software and save as TIFF to then open in CS3, rather than using the more simple and logical workflow.
Thanks,
Rob

Click the little fly-out menu icon at the upper-right and choose Save New Camera Raw Defaults.
But be careful, any setting you have changed from default will be saved, so you could inadvertently save a particular color balance setting (instead of As Shot) for example, and that wouldn't be good.

One thing I'd like to add that goes to this comment that you made in the original post: There's not just one result that can be made from a raw file. The quality of conversion results is continunuing to improve as Adobe refines their algorithms and more powerful computers are being built to run them.
The quality of conversions of the very same raw files from Photoshop CS5, using the PV2010 conversion process can indeed be superior to that from Photoshop CS3.
In turn, the quality of conversions from Photoshop CS6 can be better than that of conversions from Photoshop CS5.
We are seeing real improvements to this technology before our very eyes.

ACR to PSE11 .. image appearance changes. Help!

I run Windows 8.1 x64 bit and use PSE11 which opens raw files automatically into ACR. Once finished editing in ACR, a click on 'Open' transfers the part edited file to PSE11 Editor. Once there I usually perform a few tweaks before cropping, sharpening and saving.
At about the same time as I installed PSE11 onto my new PC (this one) I was very aware of the change in the appearance of my images as they were transferred from ACR to PSE11 Editor. Having got things to my taste and liking in ACR, the image would then open in PSE11 Editor looking rather washed out by comparison .. less contrast, maybe too much brightness and a certain degree of reduced saturation.
Obviously all images are seen on a common monitor, so any fingers pointing at calibration issues don't count in this instance! I just need to know if there is a fix I can utilise that will return me to the situation I've always had before, where the ACR image looks the same as the PSE11 Editor image. After all, I've been using PSE in various guises for a number of years and this is the first and only time that I've had this problem.
