Color loss in thumbnails and browser

I'm running CS3 on my iMac and for some reason my pictures are very vibrant when opened w/ cs3 or Preview, but as a thumbnail and viewed through browser they are very flat and lose color. Originally these pictures were taken in RAW and edited w/ a 16 bit color depth; however, when I saved them for export (Adobe RGB 1998 - 8bit) I'm losing color somehow. They look great while in photoshop, but my intentions are to post them online which appears to be diff settings than they actually are. Are my embedded color setting wrong? Why would they look different in Preview then they would in Safari?
Sincerely,
So confused

>i never had this issue until i switched to mac and upgraded to cs3. >
Probably because your monitor was properly calibrated before to Gamma 2.2 and was close to sRGB?
Re calibrate your monitor; either use Save for Web or convert to sRGB before saving your JPEGs for web-use; and re-read the FAQ as well as the other threads on the same subject on this page so that you understand why what you are currently doing is wrong.

Color shift between viewer and browser after pro kit update

hi there,
i thought i be one of the lucky guys since updating and running 3.0.1 was easy on my system. but after yesterdays pro kit update i experience a weird color shift between the look of pictures in the browser and viewer.
there is a strong colorshift in orange parts of sundown pictures. they turn magenta in the viewer but stay orange in the browser. the difference can easily be seen in the split screen. even weirder if i export a picture from the vier/split screen the exported files show the magenta tint. if i export them from the browser, they have the "right" orange tint.
this happens with raw-files from both d200 and d70. also exportet the raw and processed it with ps cs3 and everything was ok. anyone got a clue?
thanx in advance

just found the explanation. after my prokit update, all raw-files needed to be reprocessed and then i needed to select the standard apple camera module for the d200. that was quite tricky and i don't understand why something like this happens. why do all files need to be reprocessed and than afterwards you would have to manually select the apple standard converter and why did the viewer look different than the browser and why is there no warning module that tell you all files will have to be reprocessed?

Loss of Audio and Browser / OS Crashes (Panasonic CF-52 Toughbook - MK3)

Recently (past day or so) I have noticed a loss of all audio (Internal Speaker and External Headphone Jack). All indications that audio is being processed internally by the audio card as in all cases the metering for differing functions is active in correspondence
with the test sounds or music that is being played with no audio being played on the speakers or earphone jack.
Also after reading much on this being a common difficulty... I attempted a system rollback which was not successful through multiple restore points to when the OS was built.
I have tried removal of the audio drivers (All) and allowed the OS to re-install at re-boot which had so far not restored any audio to be heard. Close assessment of the audio at full volume did not reveal any noise or decreased audio. Also, upon reboot the
audio indicator in the lower right tray repeatedly initializes in a muted condition. Even with unmuting this does not restore the audio.
Another observation. This morning I upgraded to the latest build. Upon the OS stabilizing from the post build upgrade to the latest, the equipment was able to access the network / Internet. Upon initializing either IE Explorer OR Mozilla Firefox without
displaying any target webpage the OS would crash and self reboot each time. I then rolled back to the previous OS Build.

In Bridge CS6 when I view a jpg thumbnail color loss

In Bridge CS6 when I view jpgs as a thumbnail and also when selected to single viewing, the colors wash out. They do not in raw or psd versions of the same photo. They look fine in windows picture viewer and I saved them to my website and they were fine, bridge is the only place they look washed out. How do I fix that?

That means that those JPEGs are untagged, meaning they do not have an embedded color profile. In the case of untagged files, Bridge assumes the image was created in the sRGB color space. Obviously, your files must have been created in a different color space but Bridge can't tell which color space that was because you stripped the profile when saving the JPEGs.

I downloaded CS6 Red Plug-In and added to Package Contents, replaced the current files with the new without backing up, now my RED footage thumbnails and color-correction don't WORK! How do I get my old importerRed file back!!?? HELP!

Try asking in the Premiere Pro forum seems to be an Adobe Lab for Premiere Pro

I don't think it's possible to edit a slideshow and the accompanying thumbnails and caption/labels through in browser editing. Does anyone else want that?

Does anyone aside from me see this as a valuable new feature? Not sure it's possible...

You can edit slideshow hero images with thumbnails and captions through In browser editing. Are you facing any issue while editing those ?
Please provide details and screenshot which will help us to identify the issue.
Thanks,

I just switched from Aperture to Lightroom and PS CC. My images exported from LR and PS suffer color loss. Where do I begin to correct this problem?

I just switched from Aperture to LR and PS CC. My exported images suffer color loss? How do I correct the issue?
I shoot with a Canon 5d Mark III in Adobe 1998 Color Space. I've been exporting JPEGS for web with Color Space sRGB.

Does your issue have anything to do with switching from Aperture?
In other words, if you take a new photograph with your camera, and import it in Lightroom, then export it, is there still a problem?
Or is the problem somehow tied to transition from Aperture, or photos migrated from Aperture...?
I'm guessing the reason you brought up Aperture is that you did not have export "color loss" issues in Aperture, like you are having in Lightroom, but since you didn't say... (just want to be sure).

Color issues w/ .png and .gif files in CS5.5 Live view

Hi All,
I am having a bunch of trouble with my .png and .gif image files in Dreamweaver CS5.5. In Dreamweaver's design view everything looks fine but when I preview my pages in Live View or in a browser the colors in my .png and .gif files are way off. All my images are designed in RGB.
Any info anyone has to offer will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

GIFS contain a maximum of 216 colors (web safe palette)
PNG and JPG can contain 16 million colors (true color palette),
When you say the colors are "way off" we don't know what you mean.
Can you post a link to your web page?

Why can't I just right click on the thumbnails and set the websites I want?

I love the thumbnail idea, but why can't I just right click on the thumbnails and set the websites I want?
Why do i have to wait for a recent one to come up?
Of the 9 available, I would like to set 6 to website i can input by right clicking it and leave the rest for the recently visited.
I ho[e you include that feature in your next update.
Thank you
P.S. 2 more issues
1. Firefox is the only browser that always give me trouble attaching files in gmail. I still use firefox for all browsing but for mail attachments, I use others. And yes, I have done the "Clear cookies, reset, reinstall, clear cache, etc etc etc... none worked for more than a few days. no such problem with other browsers.
2. Your new updated search bar (Top right hand corner) is nice but can be very irritating for the following reason:
I like to highlight - copy (a word or phrase) - and paste it in the search bar. was fine with the older version, but now as soon as I right click to past, the menu pops up for me to select a search engine. Very irritating since I have yet to paste the copied word or phrase. I rather paste it and then have the option to click on the drop down menu. If you see this as not something masses would want, please place an option in setting for us to stop the suggestion for search engines coming up automatically when we try to right click in the side search bar to paste.

You can change the order of the boxes on the about:newtab page and drag an item to a different tile to pin it to that position or you can remove a website by clicking the close X to block that URL.
You can drag a bookmark or history item and drop them in a tile on the about:newtab page to pin them and have your own favorites sites showing.
Changes made manually on the about:newtab page are stored in prefs that you can find on the about:config page.
*browser.newtabpage.pinned stores websites that you have pinned to a tile.
*browser.newtabpage.blocked stores websites that you have removed by clicking the X button in a tile.
So you can reset those prefs via the right-click context menu to reset changes made to the about:newtab page.

Adobe Illustrator CS5 does not show PDF thumbnails when browsing

When I am browsing through PDF files to open one of them in Adobe Illustrator CS5 it does not show the thumbnail. When I am browsing in Adobe Acrobat it does show the thumbnails. If I have Adobe Acrobat open and am browsing through files and the thumbnails are showing then if I open Adobe Illustrator and browse for a file the thumbnail does show up.
How can I get Illustrator to always show the PDF thumbnails. I have to frequently browse through thousands of PDF files and it is imperative that I can see the thumbnail for these PDF files. I primarily use Illustrator to edit PDF files.
The computer is Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit edition. Thumbnails barely work when browsing files through Explorer. Some thumbnails will show, but not very many of them and it is extremely slow to load the thumbnails that will display.

Bob,
So I am assuming you are talking about viewing the files using this method first:
To use the 32-bit version of Windows Explorer, follow these steps:
Click Start, click Run, type the following in the Open box, and then click OK:
Drive_Letter:\windows\syswow64\explorer.exe /separate
Note The placeholder Drive_Letter represents the drive where the x64-based version of Windows is installed.
Please let me know if I am missing what you are saying here.

Thumbnail in browser doesnot match the pic in the view for many of my photo

I have noticed today after having loaded my library and several project with photo's 2500 or so that several thumbnails when high lighted actual bring up a differnet image. ( i.e. the thumbnail image does not match the image in the work screen area.) what is happening? i take it is a file name problem but i cannot get the correct thumbnail to match work area and the thumbnail in browser will not appear in work area to work on.

I have had the same problem with A 1.5.3 and OS X 10.4.9 - the problem started when I moved some pictures from one project to another, then it suddenly switched thumbs on a series of pictures. They simply showed each others thumbs while the image was the opposite. I "fixed" it by making adjustments to each image and then undo. Then the thumbs were updated correctly. This has to be a bug in Aperture.

Help on font sizes and browser resizing issues

When browsers resize the text, they can have a significant impact on the my designs. I am using CSS positioning, and not tables. I am also using relative font sizes, usually ems. I can get everthing to look right on my pages when the browsers are set at the normal or medium text size. But, i run into problems when the browser is set at the large or largest text size. I need help dealing with this issue in general. But, here's an example that best illustrates the problem:
I set some white-colored text on a dark background in a banner at set at 800px x 50px. The font size is set at 1 ems. The background color for the rest of the page is white. So, when the white-colored text fits easily within the banner, everything works okay. But, when the browser resizes the text, the white text flows beyond the dark background color of the banner and becomes invisible on the white background of the page. Is there some way to use margins, padding, or line size to manage this type of situation?
What are the best tactics to use regarding font size when using CSS positioning ?
Thanks for any help on this question.

Thank you for your prompt response. I will put my page on a test server when I can. But, for now, here is my code below.
I get your point about flexibility.The question is how? What are the best approaches to use? I have the sense that more experienced designers have some conventional tactics for ensuring the pages read reasonably well even when the text size is enlarged in the browsers, but I am not sure what approach might work in general.
Part of the issue with this particular design is that I am actually using a background image in the header/banner. And it has a set height:51 px. I don't want it to repeat it vertically whenever someone enlarges the text size in their browser.
Again, I would appreciate any help offered.

Problem with the browse sequence back and browse sequence next widget placed in the screen layout

Hi,
Some basics: We are using Robohelp 10 to generate multiscreen html5 output. We used the pharmaceutical screen layout downloaded from: http://helpx.adobe.com/robohelp/robohelp-screen-profiles-layouts.html but modified it to match our GUI.
We are having a problem with the browse sequence back and browse sequence next buttons placed in the screen layout from the widgets tool bar. We are in no way experts at this part of Robohelp...and the css portion of all this is a bit of mystery but we have managed to get mostly what we need. Now we just need these buttons to work. In the past we used Airhelp and things worked great. Can anyone help us understand why the sequence buttons are not showing up in the output even though it does in the topic preview?
Also
This shows up in the layout.css file:
a.wBSBackButton {
                margin: 0 8pt 0 0;
                padding: 0;
                background-color: transparent;
img.wBSBackButton {
                border: none;
a.wBSNextButton {
                margin: 0 8pt 0 0;
                padding: 0;
                background-color: transparent;
img.wBSNextButton {
                border: none;
Also btw, I forgot to mention that we are linking our FrameMaker files.
Appreciate the help.
Thanks!
