Background tile turns grainy after saving

I'm trying to make a background tile with a texture in it.
I'm probably missing a step somewhere but here is what I'm doing:
Open up a new documement 200 pixels square
Select the square with vector selection tool (this may be the
wrong step but I can't figure out how else to turn this into a
vector image so I can use the textures in the properties panel
--otherwise that panel is not available)
make sure it's 200x200
fill with desired color with paint bucket. (I used #cc9966
go to properties panel and choose "smoky" for a texture (i
want a sandy gravel tile)
Lighten it up by clicking on Filters/adjust color/hue
saturation (I set Hue at +9)
This looks just like what I want,
However after saving the image as a .gif it turns very
grainy.
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thumbnail turn blue after saved in PS

Hi all,
When I saved my CR2 filem to jpeg "within" Camera Raw, it will looks normal in Bridge. But it will turn blue if I open by Camera Raw then saved by Photoshop.
I have been using CS6 for a while and was perfectly normal.
If I shot in jpeg, the thumbnail will turn blue in preview. The color balance was daylight.
The sample I attached here shows the one turn blue at the left, and the normal one on the right. Do you know why? Thanks a lot.

Most likely your default color settings in ACR are incorrect.

Illustrator cc image looks pixelated after saving with transparent background

as the title states; image looks pixelated after saving with transparent background...
i created a logo in adobe illustrator cc and i wanted to saved it for web in order to be able to copy and paste the logo where ever I wanted but the image looks extremely pixelated after saving as an png, and for web. Is there a solution for this?
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you!!
Jon

What DPI did you save as:
You should always save as 300dpi, then you can always reduce the size as needed.
Another thing, don't copy and paste, that always causes that Problem.
In Acrobat you should open Tools Menu click on Content Editing the Add Image.
Then click on image and choose Properties and place where you want and size as you desire.

How can I improve picture quality...now grainy after IOS update!

How can I improve picture quality...now grainy after IOS update!

Hello, dreamer5th.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are some troubleshooting steps that I would recommend going through when experiencing this issue. They are labeled for the iPhone; however, the steps also apply to your iPad. Also, make sure to test the camera in well lighted conditions as this can affect picture quality.
Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:
Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.

Original file turns modified after "Save for Web-"

Hi everyone!
I'm with a little question.
What happens to the edited file after saving its copy using the “Save for Web…” command? Why the original, unmodified file turns into “changed” (with * symbol after its name)?
P. S. The same behaviour is in the Illustrator.

It's because the original file did get changed, because the Save for Web settings were changed. Photoshop saves most Save for Web settings so that the next time you use Save for Web, you don't have to set all the options from scratch.
I tested this by opening a file and using Save for Web without changing any settings, and that time the original document did not ask me to save before closing.

User Exit After Saving in CO11N (After Get Confirmation counter AFRU-RMZHL)

Hi All.
I need a user exit for PP confirmation (T-code co11n)
what I need is action after saving which gives me confirmation counter for table AFRU colum RMZHL.
I need all data that will be inserted in table AFRU since I want to duplicate Afru wth Z-Table when user does confirmation
in short explanation is When co11n writes data to AFRU, it need to write data to ZTable too (exactly same data, but less field in ztable)
I've tried these exits but none of these success

Hi Nabheet Madan
If I'm not mistaken, you mean
I should prepare background job that collect data from AFRU into Z-table
is it right?
Thanks

Lines are appearing after saving a psd in cc 2014

Hello,
I've been having some issues when saving psd's in CC 2014. After saving an image lines tend to appear, and in one case actually added to a mask I was creating. I have image examples below of what has been happening. One last note is that it seems that this issue happens sporadically. If it was on every psd I saved I would have a bit more of a solid thought as to what was wrong, but it just kinda does it whenever it feels like it. I have since restarted my computer, but the issue still is there.
This image shows when not only did the lines appear, but also they added to my mask I was creating.
This image is to show that the lines appear randomly sometimes now when viewing images and actually get saved into the document.
Until I can figure out what is happening I'm switching back to CC for awhile. Any help would be great.

Ok, I had a bit of time to further test this today -- and it looks like the "Cache Tile Size" settings is the culprit for me. The default 128k setup is creating the lines artefact while working on larger files (something around 1500x1500 pix files and up). Setting a tile size of 132k or higher, I was able to re-open files and the artefacts are gone. Putting back the 128k, opening an offending file and I have the bug. I'm able to reproduce it.
So the Cache Tile Size fixes it. One note : if I happen to export a file (ex: jpeg), the lines artefacts are "baked" into the artwork. However saving a PSD file with the artefact, and open it after changing the tile size makes the artefacts go away.
What's weird is that I get this bug now only if the "Use Graphics Processor" is unchecked. But the first time around, it was checked as it looks like it's the default upon Photoshop installed. Now I can switch it back, put the 128K tile size, and I'm ok. Again, it's not an extensive test since I did 20 minutes of fiddling with various files. I'll update later on if the bug's back since I'll use CC 2014 from now on.
Also note that the first time around, I was able to get the artefacts on much smaller files, but these we're smart objects pasted from Illustrator. This looks fixed now. It might be the way PS handles caching for vector objects.
So play with these settings, don't forget to close PS on each Performance settings change. Let us know if it fixes it.

Layers lost after saving as psd

I am having trouble with losing all my layers after saving. I have read many posts hoping to find some direction with no success. I tried rebuilding the entire project and only saving as a psd, still no success. I have made sure to check the layers box. And every time I open it on my Mac, the layers are still intact. However, my programmer and everyone else I send it to- end up with one merged background layer. Does anyone happen to know what may be the reason for this? I appreciate any help/ discussion.

I believe I have solved it. And the above mentioned was partially correct. I was sending it through email, and it was being compressed to 'medium size' rather than actual size. This was rendering the file uneditable w/in Ps. I probably should have figured this out sooner, but I guess it happens. Nevertheless, thanks for the help.
Attached is a thread to a similar problem/ solution.

Turn off power saving for USB

Hi!
I have a problem with my external soundcard needing disconnection/reconnection after my MacBook's been sleeping. As a workaround I would like to turn off power saving for USB when the Mac's not running on battery. Is this possible?
Kind regards.

Menus that animate turn white after 15 seconds

I've spent some time trying to resolve this issue with animated menus that turn white after so many seconds. I'm on a Vista, Core 2 Quad, Gateway, 4 gigs of ram; and it's doing well with CS4, but this issue has me stumped. Static menus are working fine. I even tried rendering the animated menus also, but didn't help.
Does anyone have a simple answer to this?
Thank you,
LB47

Hi Hunt,
After I wrote you this morning, I tried again to work with the Animated Film Menu. I was able to eliminate the white problem by making the audio track playing the same length as the Film Menu Animation which was 16 sec.
The original problem was that I was using the full length music track from that video clip. Instead I exported it to the 16 sec. length of the Film Menu Animation. Afterwards I did render it, and that went quickly.
Now that was working as programmed in the Preview Mode; however, after I made the DVD, it only played once and after the 16 sec interval - it totally stopped and went out of DVD play mode.
In another test before letting the DVD play thru the 16 sec interval, I checked the links and they all work fine, each one bringing me back to the menu and each time the animation played with music in the background fine. But after that interval, it stopped playing and jumped out of the DVD mode again, showing me the DVD Machines Icon which happens to be Panasonic. I tried this twice by making 2 DVD's.
That’s the latest update for now,
...hope this helps to eventually resolve this problem.

Having problems with Bridge shutting down after saving photo in PS Cs5,,,,,,,,, Also when i attempt to update either PS or bridge get an error message in Adobe application manger "Error loading updater workflow"

Sorry for the late reply. My email firewall has become a little over zealous & sent a lot of my emails straight to my junk email folder, so I have only just now discovered your reply in my junk mail folder.
The only "don't open files exceeding xxx megabytes" instruction I can find in my Prefs, is in the Bridge Prefs for Thumbnails, & mine is set at 1000mb. The biggest files I handle are bigger than 200mb so I should be able to open a few, not just one.
However, this doesn't explain why I can open a psd format file of 180mb, close it, but then can't open a RAW format file of only 26mb immediately after.
I can open the RAW file only if I restart my computer - very annoying!
However, thanks for the advice about the video card & memory.
So, I'm still stuck as to what the issue is.

My iPod 5th gen is not turning on after iOS 8 update!

My iPod 5th gen is not turning on after iOS 8 update! Before this all happened, I noticed that my apps crashed unexpectedly, it was laggy, and it decides to reset on its own at times. I CAN'T charge or plug it into my computer. Also, my home button is sunk in but my sleep/wake button at the top is most definitely not. I know my iPod was not running out of battery and I did not even power it off. I am very disappointed but I really need it to turn on =/

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
Ignore the reset and when it says place the iPod in recovery mode
Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:
For PC
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
or
http://joshuabailey1997.wordpress.com/2010/09/02/recboot-v1-3/
If necessary:
Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
and
RecBoot tip
RecBoot may have problems on 64X windows, then try:
Tenorshare ReiBoot – Enter & Exit iPhone, iPad, iPod Recovery Mode with a Single Click
For MAC or PC
The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
Installs blootware on PC too
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

my iphone 6 wont turn on after i updated it and it doesn't work to restore it in itunes. what should i do?

Hello ole-gunnar,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If your iPhone is unresponsive after updating your iOS version, then I'd like you to please follow the troubleshooting below.
If you see a black screen
You might need to charge your device before it can turn on. Plug in your device and let it charge for at least 10 minutes (20 minutes for iPad), then try turning it on.
You should see a battery icon while your device is charging. If you continue to see a black screen, reset your device. If your device doesn't respond when you press buttons
Your device might not return to the Home screen when you press the Home button, wake from sleep when you press the Sleep/Wake button, slide to unlock or power off, or it might appear frozen. Try these steps:
Restart your device.
If it still doesn't respond, or if it doesn't turn back on, reset your device.
If your device gets stuck during startup
When starting up, you might see the Apple logo or a red or blue screen for a long time, or your device might restart again. Try these steps:
Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
Put your device in recovery mode.
When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
Get more help
If you still need help after trying the steps above, contact Apple Support.
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support

Iphone 4, purhcased 4/12, reluctant to turn on after fully expended battery in the past, now will not power on, communicate w/ itunes, tried restore -error 3194, then error 1600. help me please...do I have a warranty?

I purchased an Iphone 4 in April of 2012. I always keep it on and charge it every night. I have had some trouble turning, a couple of times, in the past. It was simply reluctant to turn on after allowing the battery to be completely expended and has behaved the same way after being manually turned off. I have again allowed the battery to completly die and turn off the phone. This time it will not turn on at all. I have tried various combinations of pressing and holding home and power to no avail. I plugged it in to the computer, but Itunes will not recognize it as my phone. Itunes is labeling it "Iphone" and has requested that I restore the phone in order to use it with Itunes. Itunes states that "has detected an Iphone in recovery mode". I, reluctantly, attempted to restore the phone. After waiting quite a while on a "software update" to download, it said preparing Iphone for restore and then said "unable to restore Iphone, unknown error - 3194". I read, online, that I needed the most recent version of itunes in order to restore. So I upgraded Itunes and restarted the compluter. On the second, and all subsequent attempts to complete the restoration, I am prompted with a message stating "unable to restore IPhone, unknown error - 1600". My computer also attempted, and I believe, successfully, installed new device driver software for iphone4 (DFU mode). Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Also is my phone, purchased 4/12, under any service or replacement warranty. I truly feel it should be easier to turn on and I did not even want to restore the phone, I just need to use it.
Thank you,
Geoffrey

I am reading on this site about the error I am getting and it wants me to change some files that I am not comfortable messing with. Mainly because it is like a foreign language. Will the store do this for me or tell me if it is neccessary?
