Annoying problem: 96ppi images opening as 72ppi WHY???

Program: PhotoShop CS4
Platform: Windows 7
Problem: 96ppi opens as 72ppi in PhotoShop.
I am reopening an image I was just working on in PhotoShop.  I was working on it as a .psd and saved it as a .jpg.  It is saved as 96 dpi (I rechecked the properties of the file in Windows Explorer). 
I changed the default for "new" psd files to begin as 96ppi.  Right now this image of 96ppi is opening in PhotoShop as 72ppi.  I dug through  "Preferences" looking for some weird default setting that is probably causing it to open in 72ppi.
Is there a setting somewhere I'm missing?  Is PhotoShop just flaking out?
-Lins

Save For Web strips all resolution data at default settings. When Photoshop reopens the image it just assigns 72, because for a variety of reasons it has to assign something.
If you set your SFW metadata settings to "All" or "All Except Camera Info", it includes resolution data. But not the other settings (and the default is "none").
It makes perfect sense of course, since resolution is irrelevant for web. Only the pixel count matters.
It has "always" been like this and there is no difference between CS4 and CS5.

  • Problem with image opened in Photoshop

    Hi all,
    I am having a strange problem with an image opened from Aperture in Photoshop. Though the image looks fine, something is amiss. Most notably when I try to use the shadow/highlight command in Photoshop, the image actually darkens (highlights are set to zero amount). If I export the image as a jpeg and open it in Photoshop, the s/h command works as expected. If I export as a .psd file and open it, the s/h command again darkens the image. Interestingly, the .psd file thumbnail shows orange with read streaks through it, but opens as it should. Corrupted .psd conversion maybe?
    Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Additional info:
    Same problem with a series of photos taken about the same time.
    Other photos work fine.
    I exported the original .nef file, opened it in camera raw/photoshop. Works fine.
    Corruption/bug in the .psd conversion looks more likely unless I'm missing something. . . .
    Help!!!

  • Problem with images opened in Photoshop CS 5

    Hi, I have a problem with images that I open in Photoshop CS 5. F. ex. I opened
    the following image:
    The image appears with a purple color in Photoshop. If I hover over the image
    with a tool like lasso, it temporarily regains it´s original color. The image mode is RGB Color, 8 Bits/Channel.
    I resetted the start settings of Photoshop with the CTRL-Shift-Alt-combination, which had no effect.

    The confusion arises from the imprecise error message in the Preferences > Performance dialog box, to wit:
    OK, that seems to be open to misunderstanding indeed.
    The video card: Citrix Systems Inc. Display Driver.
    Could not find a list for CS6 specifically, but the card may fall short.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/tested-video-cards-photoshop-cs5.html
    If I invoke View > Proof Colors, the only thing that changes is that the text in the brackets
    Also if you set View > Proof Setup to something different?
    Boilerplate-text:
    Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)?

  • Problems with images opening in Opera and Firefox 3.5.5

    I have allways on my website had thumb nails that when clicked open a larger jpg.  I use CS3 and set the target to blank so the image enlargement opens in a new window.  This arrangement may be simple but allways worked.  Now in the new versions of Opera and Firefox and I am told Explorer the link produces a page full of random characters and no jpg.
    Heres the address of one one page. http://www.artyfax.com/teddybears/charliebearsautumn09.html
    I hope someone can offer a solution and many thanks in anticipation.

    Hi thanks for your help again, its interesting, just before I read your reply I tried uploading the same page to one of the free web hosting sites and it worked fine so it does look like a browser/hosting invompatability problem.
    Not sure if I should mention who I use for hosting here but it is one of the larger ones who are generally very good so I am surprised but anyway I emailed them and am going to phone them too. I think we are one step forward now anyway.

  • Why does Raw image open in PSE 11 Editor as jpeg instead of as RAW image?

    For several years I have been managing my photos in iphoto and using PSE as an external editor for editing images. I currently use PSE 11 on an iMac with OS X Lion (version 10.7.5). My iPhoto Library is divided into a number of sub-libraries via iPhoto Library Manager. I have unexpectedly encountered a problem attempting to edit a RAW image (in this case a .NEF image from a Nikon D200) in a sub-library containing images shot in 2007. When I right click on the image and select Edit in External Editor the image opens in PSE 11 Editor, but it opens as a jpeg and not as an .NEF image. This is in spite of the fact that in iPhoto/Preferences/Advanced/RAW Photos I have checked "Use RAW when using external editor."
    As an alternative approach I tried dragging and dropping the RAW image into the PSE 11 Editor icon in the Dock, but I got the same result.
    I can't recall having this problem previously and would appreciate knowing what might be the source of the problem along with a suggested fix.

    I took a clue from both of your responses. I exported a copy of the original RAW file to my desktop. Then I went to PSE Editor and clicked File/Open and selected the RAW file on the desktop. This automatically changed the Format setting to Camera Raw. I then clicked Open and lo and behold my RAW file opens in Camera Raw!
    I’m now where I want to be to edit this image in Camera RAW, but I never before had to go around the horn like this to get there! This is very similar to the procedure I follow when I edit jpegs in Camera Raw.
    I’m happy to report that this workaround did the job, but I have no idea why it was necessary in this instance. Hopefully this issue will be confined to this one particular iPhoto sub-library!

  • Why does paintbrush not work on images opened from Bridge?

    This problem may be due to another cause but the most common occurance is when an image is opened from Bridge so I've posted it here.  Here are the details.
    I have had tons of problems with CS4 on my desktop PC but seem to have most of them resolved with a new video card, updated driver  and help from an earlier thread.  In fact, I thought all problems solved but this one has persisted.  If it matters I'm running Windows XP service pack 3, 4gb of RAM of which 3.4 is available.  It has an 2.67 GHz Intel Core2Duo cpu.
    If I open CS4 and open an image, all paintbrush tools (paintbrush itself, clone tool, healing tools, etc) work fine.  Sometimes I can work for hours with no problems.  Other times these tools simply stop working.   When this happens seems random.  For example, the other day as long as I did not send anything to print, all worked fine but after printing a few images the tools stopped.  Other times I've printed and the tools still worked.  Sometimes if I open images direct in Photoshop using file -> open, all is well but as soon as I launch an image from Bridge, tools don't work.  Other times launching from Bridge works fine, BUT more often than not, it seems to occur after launching from Bridge, hence the post here as I already noted.  I've tried to trace down a common set of circumstances but it is too erratic.
    What is interesting also is that the use of the tool shows up in the history panel as a step taken.  There just is no visible effect on the image.  This problem has been present since CS4 was originally installed along with several other problems.  In the course of attempting to solve them all, I have deleted preferences and allowed them to rebuild, I have actually uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop multiple times. 
    More confounding is that CS4 works fine on a clunky old laptop with less RAM and a much, much older video card.  I also, as a test, ran the 30 day trial on the computer I'm using here.  It too is older and less RAM and that worked fine too.  So it seems to be saying there is something wrong with the computer used for photo editing or the video card.  Don't think it's the card.  I bought a new one.  It didn't solve any problems so I bought another and it corrected many of the other issues I was having.  Indeed after installing the latest drivers for this card, absolutely everything worked perfectly for almost two days but now this paintbrush tool issue is back. 
    So what the heck can be going on that is cumulative or is there a hardware component that is erratic or have I missed something in CS4?  Man I love the power of the program and the improvements since CS3 but if I have to shut it down and restart it every single image, clearly that is not feasible.
    Many thanks for any help.

    Well, now I'm an idiot.  I fired up without the tablet plugged in and
    paintbrush worked fine on all files.  I then left the image open I had just
    painted on, plugged in the tablet with pc still running, no paintbrush
    function using tablet mouse.  Without unplugging the tablet I again tried
    the regular mouse and paintbrush worked fine.  So it's not a matter of any
    sort of conflict with the tablet being active, it sure looks like a tablet
    malfunction.  It still mystifies my how this tablet is so smart it can tell
    the difference between psd and jpg but there it is...can't argue with
    results.  Still, one last thing confounds me and that is the tablet works
    fine on all file types in CS3 and every other app I have.  If there was a
    malfunction with the tablet, wouldn't you think it would misbehave on all
    apps?  Could it be that the tablet needs a new driver?  You must've had a
    clue to recommend this course of action.  Now that we're here, what do you
    suggest or should that be another thread?
    By the way, if it matters I had already upgraded vc drivers and CS to 11.0.1
    before this started.

  • Why won't large images open in full screen on first click?

    I go to open an image (jpg, png) that has a byte size of 2000 x 3096. What ends up happening, is that it will initially open a full screen window, and after a second or so, that full screen window will shrink to a half screen window. Now I'm required to click the max window size button in the upper right corner to expand the window to full size, right click on the image, select View Image from the drop down menu, and then finally click in the image to get it to display in its full size.
    Is there a plug-in, or a config. parameter that I can use, so that the image opens up in full screen mode from the start?

    Is this with opening an image link from a web page or with viewing images that you already have stored on the computer?

  • Image open problem in nokia 5230

    Dear All,
    I have nokia 5230 mobile & i am using from last 10 months but from past few days i am facing problem regarding image/songs open problem.  whenever i trying to open image my phone gets hang & it shows nothing in it but i have 100 pics in memory card, same problem is with songs whenever i put some songs in memry card but songs gallery after refreshing shows nothing.
    Please help me to resolve this issue.
    Vipul

    im not sure what to do about the images but the same happened with the songs. here is waht i did:
    1. make sure you have the latest firmware installed (fw. 50).
    2. when it is installed copy all tracks to pc and install nokia ovi music.
    3. delete the folder called 'music' on your memory card.
    4. open ovi music and add songs to playlists and copy to device. this will create a new folfre called 'music' and the error should be fixed
    if that fails you should try a program called lcg jukebox as this is a much better music player

  • Why can't I see the Lightroom Presets in the Develp Module without having an image open?

    Why can't I see the Lightroom Presets in the Develp Module without having an image open?

    If it's in the Spam mailbox, then Spam Mailbox would show there.
    In my example above, I'm looking in the Sent Mailbox as a whole (main mailbox, not the subfolder account) and it's showing the account I sent from. If I had sent messages from my other accounts, it would show those also. The only purpose of showing the mailbox in the message list is to know which of your accounts it's to or from when you have multiple accounts. If you only have one mail account, then it provides no use to have Mailbox shown in the message list.
    When you are looking at the Sent Mail, then the message list shows the person who it was sent to.
    All other mailboxes show the person who the message was sent from in the list.
    Unless you're moving recieved mail and sent mail to a common mailbox, then it's not a big deal.
    Maybe Apple will change it in the future to show the actual Fields in the message list.

    I got my code but when i try downloading it it says retry as net connection is slow, but i am on a high speed broadband and all the other sites are opening simultaneously then why this problem?

    Because Apple's not spent those billions of bucks lying around on a modern, high-speed delivery system or providing DVDs for those who don't have high-speed connections or uncapped DL capabilities.

  • Problems with images uploaded to Etsy

    Hi guys,
    I'm having a huge problem with thumbnail images on my Etsy front page being pixelated when viewed on my ipad mini. I tried a few times posting this to the Etsy help forums to no avail.
    Here's what I'm doing:
    ========================
    -I'm creating a new document in photoshop with pixel dimensions of 1000 x 800 (tried lower and higher), resolution of 72 (tried higher), placed an image taken by my 14 mp digital camera, and pulled in a background I found online at 72 dpi.
    -I'm saving this as a jpeg with the 'quality' at 12. I tried saving for web and lowering the file size, didn't work.
    Other info:
    =========================
    -Other people's thumbnails look just fine
    -When viewed on my laptop monitor as well as my external monitor, everything's peachy.
    -Larger views of the image as well as other thumbnail on other pages look totally fine, it's just the main page i'm having problems with
    -I haven't actually opened the shop yet, so maybe this is just a weird thing that Etsy does.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    I'm running version 2.1 (final) now but I still have the same problem and it's very annoying problem.
    Any help on this one?
    You've run into (what I believe is) a bug in how NitroX resolves URL-paths within a JSP. NitroX is "WAR-centric", meaning that it considers the WAR's context root to be the root of the entire web-application. So it resolves the leading slash in a URL-path (e.g. /images/...) to that context root. However, J2EE web-applications may consist of several WARs deployed in one or more EARs in a single app-server instance. This means multiple context roots at the same host:port. So the correct way to resolve a leading slash in a host-relative URL-path such as "/images/..." is to map it to the root of the host:port and not to the WAR's context root.In your example, the "/images/..." should be mapped by NitroX to the equivalent of "http://localhost:8080/images/..." and not to "http://localhost:8080/birka/images/..." Your original URL-path of "./images/..." (or just "images/...") should have been mapped by NitroX to "http://localhost:8080/birka/images/..." as it is relative to the current context root. So in summary, I think your original code is correct and the problem is with NitroX.
    I reported this bug a few months ago, but haven't heard any news of its being addressed. What do you say M7-support, any update on this?
    Thank you for your reply, I will get in touch with M7-support to hear with them status of this bug. I'm running version 2.01 Final, I haven't yet tested pre-releases since they are not final

  • Images open in camera raw 4.6, not Photoshop?

    Since I downloaded & installed camera raw 4.6 to deal with raw images from my Nikon D90 I have had the following problem with Photoshop cs4 (on XP + SP3).
    Any images I open from within bridge or Picasa or directly from windows explorer get opened in Adobe Raw 4.6. From their I have to open image to get it into photoshop. This applies to all images, jpg, gif, tiff, psd etc.
    I've looked at the file associations & made sure photoshop is selected & I've tried open with & browsed to the photoshop directory & selecting the photoshop.exe file but always they open with the adobe raw.
    How do I get this set back to default so that all regular images open in photoshop & raw images open in camera raw?
    Lastly I tried deleting thus ressetting my prefferances, no good.
    Any help much appreciated.

    Camera RAW for CS4 is 5.3

    I recently purchased an Iphone 6plus and I am receiving pdf attachments that are shown as winmail.dat attachments on the iphone. When I check the same e-mail on my macbook pro the attachment is a pdf and I can open it. Why is this happening?

    I had this problem too after i upgdatd to OS X Mavericks... only the songs on my iphone 5s that i purchased from itunes would play.
    i read something about it being a syncing issue. when you plug your phone into your computer with the usb cable, the person said to switch from automatic syncing of itunes to the "manual" option. mine was already set to manual so i wasn't sure anything would work. BUT, when i plugged my phone into my computer, it started to sync all of my music on my phone again (top of itunes bar where song playing/time is listed said "now syncing 123/534 songs to x's iphone"). once that was completed, i checked the music app on my iphone and everything was back to normal!
    so, i would suggest setting your music syncing settings to manual if you haven't tried that yet!
    hope this helps!
