Black from photoshop is not black in FCE

Hi, writing from Italy...
I just need some help for my "black" in FCE HD (version 3.0).
As I need to cover the old subtitles written in white on a black frame,
I made a small black strip in Photoshop (7.0).
I made a transparet file and fill the black color in it.
It is saved as Photoshop file.
The color type is RGB, file size is 720-540..it shold be all OK.
But once I imported the file in FCE, the black looks brownish.
Slightly.
I tried also making another file with "Background color in black", but
it is the same.
I check the color, importing the minutes of timeline to the tape and
looking at it on the TV screen.
On my small TV, the brownish color really doesn't show.
But I fear that on a large screen with a powerful projector it
will prove to be brownish.
(In the past, some slight defects that
I could never see either on the screen of MAC
or on the image projected by a family-type projector, were actually seen in a cinema hall.)
Can anyone tell me what I can do for it?
or Am I worrying too much??
Thanks and Grazie!
Minobu

What was the original title created with, can't you use the same tool to draw a black box over the old one? Is this a capture from tape, if so analogue or digital?
If you have captured this material from a non-digital source then you will have difficulty matching the black as the colour values of the analogue source are never as accurate as digital. It may, in this case, mean finding, through trial and error, the correct value of colour that matches your strap.
If the file was digital then if you use the application that created the strap in the first place the colour values should match.

Merge to HDR Pro works from Photoshop CS5, not from Bridge

I have three nef files which I want to merge to hdr pro. If i have them open in PS CS5 and choose to merge them from there, all works. But if I choose the three in Bridge and use the Tools, Photoshop, Merge to HDR Pro selection from Bridge, all starts out well, but in the end, no HDR dialog box, just the 4 layers, one for each file and the lowest one the HDR layer, but nothing can be done with it since there is no dialog box. Any suggestions? Thanks

As far as I know the Abobe Bridge bridge is messed up these days for there is one Adobe bridge cc and two Photoshop CC and CC 2014 Mac can run two versions of Photoshop at once windows can not how the different bridge interfaces work I don't know. Bridge tools are set up with Bridge Startup Scripts. On Windows Bridge CC 64bit and Bridge CC 32Bit version both seen to use the start up scripts setup for the 32bit Bridge Bridge CC 64bit does not see what is in the CC 64Bits startup scripts folder. There are also problems on windows system registry for Photoshop shell commands Open and Edit. I do not use the Bridge often. Just use it to edit metadata and syncing batches of RAW File setting. I do not use Photoshop from the Bridge. But seem to be able to For I put Startup scripts in the 32bit location and fixed my windows registry keys for Phoroshop.exe....

'cut-out' images from Photoshop import into FCE with unwanted background

I want to import some custom 'cut-out' images from Photoshop, but they come into FCE with a rectangular background around them. Is there a way to import just the irregular 'cut-out' image?
Bob

Make sure the images are RGB 8-bit and in a format that carries an alpha channel or Photoshop transparency like Photoshop, TIFF, PNG, even PICT.

How do I get the file nformation from photoshop to move over to InDesign and once info is there how to I get InDesign to create captions from it?

I need to be able to create captions from the metadata located in the file info on .png images created in Photoshop. I have been running into multiple issues.
1. The data from Photoshop is not showing up in the InDesign File Info
2. When I simply recreate the information - it is very basic simply description and copyright - the active caption that is generated reads <no data from link>
Obviously I'm missing an essential step by I cant figure out what.
Help point me in the right direction would be most appreciated.

I just tried that and still the same issue. I right clicked the graphic, (first made sure that the metadata was in the File Information window), then Captions > Captions Setup > OK. The Metadata fields are Description and Copyright. When I try to generate a Live Caption I get the <no data from link> message and for the Static Caption I get an empty container below the graphic

When I drag or copy a selection from Photoshop 8.0 into Powerpoint the selection always appears in Powerpoint with a black background.

When I drag or copy a selection from Photoshop 8.0 into Powerpoint the selection always appears in Powerpoint with a black background.. How can I prevent this?

Photoshop doesn't have a way of copying a selection, only the contents of that selection. You can save and load selections, but these are really just channels. As such, selections are essentially just black and white information. So I'm not sure what you are seeing in Photoshop when you make your copy, but PowerPoint should just get the information that you see. Screen shots of both Photoshop and PowerPoint may help though.

Transparency copied from photoshop turning black

I have found some images I'm trying to get them into illustrator, however when i drag them from photoshop, or place them into illustrator directly, the transparency turns to black... it shows up find in photoshop, but when i drop it into illustrator it goes to black.. can't figure out how to get this to work. I've been noticing this with a number of images... the one that started it is this: http://opengameart.org/sites/default/files/iso-64x64-outside.png

thats becourse your image is a png and is in index color, just make your image RGB or CMYK (depending on the end result you want), save it as native photoshop and than link it in Illustrator
I agree with all of that except, “or CMYK.” Just convert to RGB. If the end result is for printing, let Illustrator handle the RGB > CMYK conversion.

Can no longer print from Photoshop CS^ have upgraded drivers error message reads There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents."

I have upgraded my iMac to Yosemite but now my two Canon Printers no longer print from Photoshop CS6. I have upgraded the drivers. All other applications including Lightroom are fine. I am receiving an error message as follows:"There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents." How can I get the OS to return a list of printers to Photoshop when Photoshop requests a list.

Have you printed to this printer from 10.10 before? If so, check your connections.

I have Photoshop CS5, and use windows XP. I cannot open bridge from photoshop, which I have done for years. When I am in Photoshop, when it opens, I always click on the bridge icon at the bottom of the screen and it puts me into bridge. This is not happening, the small wheel at the bottom of the screen just keeps spinning. Its like its stuck or caught in a loop. I can't get into bridge. I tried shutting down and starting up again but the problem remains. Looking for help. Dan

Thanks for your response, I was able to open bridge from File-Browse in Bridge. This worked, but was not able to go back to the way I always opened Bridge. At least I could get to Bridge and go into Camera Raw. I never tried to open Bridge from the Start menu. The odd thing about this is, it has happened before, and to get it "unstuck" and working again, I would shut down and restart again in a few minutes, and things would go back to normal. This time it did not go back to normal after several attempts. I shut down for about 3-4 hours, restarted, and it seems to be back to normal again. I am not sure if it's a problem that is getting worse each time it happens. And yes I am using Mini Bridge in photoshop CS5. Thank you for your help. Dan

PSD files will not print from Photoshop CS4 (previously posted in Acrobat printing and prepress)

My questions are: Does the PSD file have the printer information encoded?
Also why has this just started to show up? My wife has work successfully under the same conditions, files moved and printed on different printers, with no problems in the past.
I (we) have been struggling with a recent problem trying to print PSD files from Photoshop CS4. (Vista 32 bit, Epson 3880 networked) When trying to print certain, but not all, PSD files I get the message: "Before you can perform printer-related tasks such as page setup or printing a document, you need to install a printer." I have been in contact with Adobe support about the issue but with little in the way of positive results. I was referred to a kb link: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/409/kb409119.html Tried all that to no avail. (The first suggestion is absurd to the point of making me wonder what process is used to construct the kbs. You cannot open the print menu when you get this message so....?)
Other solutions are not acceptable for the work my wife is doing, editing high quality photographs for an exhibition with test prints and so on. We are under intense time pressue with four shows coming up in a very short time. The final solution offered is that CS5 has solved all of this. Hum? interesting. No comment except new program, new problems so not a real solution for us.
In searching the web about this problem I have come across many other people with the same problem working from different platforms and even different Adobe products. I noticed that the MAC OS seemed to cause the same problem and that there was a problem with Reader and Acrobat. In every case the problem is never solved by Adobe or anyone else and users find some "workaround". I too have found what we hope is a workaround in our contiued travels on the blogosphere, on flickr http://www.flickr.com/groups/wellington/discuss/72157621548183001/ as "...a nasty, nasty solution" but we skipped the flatten part and the GIMP part and resave the PSD under a different name.
Adobe does seem supportive but not that interested (CS4 right) but I would like to find a real solution and I think many people would benefit from it.
Anyway what I have found is that the PSD files that will not print have been printed on another printer at some time in the past. In my case the Printer was an Epson Artisan A50. The printer we are using now is the Epson Stylus Pro 3880. Even when trying to print wirelessly to the 3880 from the laptop (Was Vista, now Windows 7) that was used to edit and print with the A50, (USB connection) we saw the same error. So it seems that the printer information is somehow embedded in the PSD file (also mentioned in a Blog) and is keeping PS from seeing the printer because the same printer is not there.
Has anybody already found the fix?
I know this is a long post but I have been working on this problem and have heard all of the pat and frankly useless answers and workarounds. Can we find a solution and fix the problem?

Just a few examples, since you ask:

When trying to import photos with iPhoto from photoshop.. won't let me keeps saying that the photos are already in the iPhoto library but they are not... need to fix this

When trying to import photos with iPhoto from photoshop... won't let me keeps saying that the photos are already in the iPhoto library but they are not

If you are using Photoshop from within iPhoto the following may help with the workflow. However, we do need to know the answers to the questions posed by Terence and Larry to be able to help you.
Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Screenshots are from PSE 10
Note 1: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.
Note 2: editing a RAW file with either PSE or PS creates a new file which must be saved outside of iPhoto, i.e. the Desktop, and imported as a new photo into the iPhoto Library.

Photoshop suddenly does not print to Epson 3880 - PROBLEM: Cannot print from Photoshop After restart error message appears: - "There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopen

PROBLEM: Cannot print from Photoshop
After restart error message appears:
— “There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents.”
• All print commands are greyed out and unavailable — even to call up the printer commands cannot be done.
The printer printed fine until about 2 weeks ago when this error message appeared. Printing continues from Pages, I-photo, preview etc. — only Photoshop fails.
The printer has been turned on and off, as have open documents been closed and open etc.. Preferences reset. Repeatedly I have read through blogs and forums and attempted to contact Adobe — all without results
Epson support struggled to find reason and several solutions were tried and they assume this is an Adobe problem.

Fonts from Photoshop to Premier not clean

I'm attempting to make an simple slide show in Premier Pro CS4 with slides that were created layered in Photoshop CS4 Extended. the slideshow will be dispalyed on a computer screen in a kiosk at a large sales convention.
My workflow is:
export the graphic from Photoshop in an image format
import into Premier
place each graphic on the timeline.
export as a movie
My problem is that while the graphics look great, the text looks horrible - smeared, pixelated, blurred.
The font used by the graphic designer in Photoshop is ITC Franklin Gothic Book, and in other places, ITC Franklin Gothic Demi
I've tried exporting from Photoshop to JPG, PNG, BMP, TIFF and they all look horrid.
I've tried using other fonts, with no different outcome.
I've tried different Premier templates
I've tried different output formats (AVI, MOV, WMV, H.264, etc.
Does anyone have any suggestions? It seems like it should be simple, but not so much
Thanks in advance for any help!

You seem to talk of "graphics" and "text" ( and both looking awful) so I am wondering what specifically do you mean.
I get and use graphic text from Photoshop on a regular basis and these look perfect in HD Broadcast (and everything else) and I also use graphic text direct from PPRO Titler without any issues.
A Text-Graphic to me can be :
> A simple type face / font from my client designers computer that they wish me to use as a "super" over a video scene /frame. This usually happens when I do not have that typeface / font in my Windows systems. (My clients use MAC largely)
or
> It can be a custom built designer type with complex enhancements ( shadows/fills/shapes / paths etc...). Effectively this is a graphic in my jargon.
We interchange both of these as PSD files ( usually layered so I have control of all the elements). I work them around from these. eg flattening etc..
They are produced slightly larger than needed in my Sequence and always in RGB (not CMYK)
and ...
> I also use graphic text direct from PPRO Titler without any issues
Straight TEXT to me is basic body copy and maybe small.
Wish I could advise more on your issue ...but maybe some of this is helpful.
Were / why does the 805 x 602 come into your equation? Are you using a Custom Sequnce Setting for this project?

HT2404 I can't open downloads from my e-mail I get the message: Could not complete your rrequest because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file.

So what type of files are they?!

How do I prevent Lightroom from creating duplicates if the edit in photoshop is not saved?

Hello!
How do I prevent Lightroom from creating duplicates if the edit in photoshop is not saved?
So... Quite often I choose to 'Edit in photoshop' from Lightroom but then end up not saving the result. (for example, because I just wanted to experiment with the photo, or I'm not satisfied with the results)
However, Lightroom always creates a copy of the original photo, which stays in the catalog even if the photoshop changes aren't saved.
Is there a way to stop this, and only add a photo if it has been edited in PS?
Using LR5 with PS CS6 on a Mac 10.9
THANK YOU!

Select 'Open the Image in PS as a Smart Object'. The image will be rendered by ACR in memory without being written to disc until you save it from within PS.
