Colors get progressively darker in Photoshop?

hey, guys- I'm new and using photoshop CS5 and use a Mac 10.6.4. I draw cartoons, so i often do linework and a layer beneath for colors. But whenever i use the brush and make several strokes, the colors get progressively darker until turning into black. I have a feeling this has a fancy photoshop name and i accidentally turned it on, but I don't know the name.. This is really holding back a lot of my projects and if you have anything to help please tell!
Thank you

Ohhhh- thank you so much!!!!

W520 Colors Get Dark when Playing Game

I just got my W520 and love it so far. My one problem is that when I open a game (Blockland), the display colors become really dark. When I close the game, they go back to normal. This started after I color-calibrated the screen. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.

Sounds like this:

RGB Color management between Illustrator and Photoshop

Hi,
I have a color management issue when exporting JPGs from Illustrator and opening them in Photoshop:
In Illustrator (file is in RGB mode), I have a logo which has the color RGB 0/0/153 and I export a JPG. When I open the file in Photoshop, the color is RGB 1/0154.
I have activated Adobe CC Color Manegement via Adobe Bridge (option "Europe, Universal 3"), which should produce consistent results in all Adobe applications.
So which is the color that is actually in the file? And what do I have to do to get the color I want (0/0/153) actually exported from Illustrator? I need this color to comply with corporate design specifications of my client.
Since I have to produce a lot of files it is not possible to readjust all colors in Photoshop ...
Thank you!
Michael

First, check to make sure that the RGB working colorspace is the same for both Illustrator and Photoshop.
When exporting the jpeg from Illustrator make sure the 'embed' color profile is selected, and it is the color profile that is required for your client. If this is for web use, then sRGB is your best choice.
When you open the exported image in Photoshop, make sure that the color settings for Photoshop are set to 'Preserve Embedded Profiles'. After you open the image in Photoshop, you can double check by going to Edit > Convert to Profile... The source profile should match the embedded exported profile from Illustrator. If these match, your RGB color values from Illustrator and Photoshop should also match.
If the source profile does not match, cancel out of the 'Convert to Profile" and go to 'Assign Profile". Assign the profile that you embedded when exporting from Illustrator. Now Photoshop should have the same values as Illustrator.

Original Image Resolution and Color getting Distorted

Hi All,
I am using JAI for reading images from a source i have to read the images and than have to split the images
initially i was using ImageIO.read() method to read images but for some images it was throwing error as
javax.imageio.IIOException: Unsupported Image Type
     at com.sun.imageio.plugins.jpeg.JPEGImageReader.readInternal(Unknown Source)
     at com.sun.imageio.plugins.jpeg.JPEGImageReader.read(Unknown Source)

     at deepzoomconvertor.Main.reteriveAllImages(Main.java:221)
     at deepzoomconvertor.Main.main(Main.java:86)so in such exception cases i am trying to read the images using JAI and i am successful in reading images
here is the piece of code i am using for this
BufferedImage result = null;
   SeekableStream ss=SeekableStream.wrapInputStream(new FileInputStream(file), false);
           ParameterBlock pb = new ParameterBlock();
           pb.add(ss);
           RenderedOp rm=JAI.create("JPEG", pb);
           result=rm.getAsBufferedImage();
             return result;it able to split images but the quality of images are poor it losts its original color format.
can any one have any idea how to do it while retaining the quality of image color and resolution
Thanks in advance

The JPEG you are reading is a cmyk color space one. They're not common, but they do occasionally pop up in a collection of random jpeg images.
The default JPEGImageReader that comes with the jdk cannot read them. And it will throw an exception - the exact same one you got - stating it can't. JAI's behavior is a little worse. It will read the image without exception, when in fact it to can't read it. It doesn't handle the cmyk aspect right, so you get a messed up image.
The native JPEGImageReader that comes with installing [JAI-ImageIO|https://jai-imageio.dev.java.net/binary-builds.html] can read them. It appropriately decodes the ICC_Profile embedded within the JPEG and you get a cmyk BufferedImage. But if you wish to render this TYPE_CUSTOM BufferedImage, go grab a coffee while you wait for it to slooooowwwllly paint. You'll have to do a ColorConverOp to turn the cmyk BufferedImage into an rgb one (so Java2D can render it fast).
Having done all this you'll find that 1) ColorConvertOp makes the image too bright and 2) The native PNGImageReader that comes with installing JAI-ImageIO has an affinity for returning TYPE_CUSTOM BufferedImages (arggg!!!).
I'll help you fix points (1) and (2) if you get that far. Maybe the best choice is to simply give up on cmyk jpegs. They're only used in printing press environments, and people only use color space aware applications (like Photoshop) to manipulate them in any meaningful way.

Only 1 spot color of Linked 2-channel Photoshop image appears in acrobat 9.0

I just installed CS 4 design premium. I have a 2-color business package that was created in Illustrator CS2 with 2-color Photoshop links (spot color multichannel files saved as Photoshop DCS 2.0/eps).
When working before in CS 2 my spot color links viewed just fine when I saved the Illustrator files as pdfs (smallest file size default). Now, working in CS 4 with Acrobat Pro 9, type & vector objects show fine in both colors, but the linked files only view with one of the spot colors. If I open output preview in Acrobat 9 the missing black channel shows up.
All I want to do is send my client a final proof. How can get it to appear accurately on my pdf?

Output Preview invokes Overprint Preview. Since the file displays as expected with Output Preview open, the Overprint Preview may be necessary to view the file properly.
In Acrobat 9, the default for Overprint Preview is "Only for PDF/X". Overprint Preview was removed from the Menu list, but you can change it's default in Preferences:Page Display. I'd recommend using "Automatic" which looks at the file and determines if there is anything in the file that requires overprint preview to display. You can temporarily turn off "simulate overprinting" while the Output Preview dialog is open. You can also select "Color Warnings" and turn on Show Overprinting, the content should be painted with a highlight.
Does this work?
If you are sending a PDF to your client to view, they will need to look at the file with Overprint Preview on. They can download Reader 9 which will allow them to turn on Overprint Preview. Reader's default is also PDF/X compliant files, but this can be changed in the same Preferences area.

In general theory, one now has the Edit button for their posts, until someone/anyone Replies to it. I've had Edit available for weeks, as opposed to the old forum's ~ 30 mins.
That, however, is in theory. I've posted, and immediately seen something that needed editing, only to find NO Replies, yet the Edit button is no longer available, only seconds later. Still, in that same thread, I'd have the Edit button from older posts, to which there had also been no Replies even after several days/weeks. Found one that had to be over a month old, and Edit was still there.
Do not know the why/how of this behavior. At first, I thought that maybe there WAS a Reply, that "ate" my Edit button, but had not Refreshed on my screen. Refresh still showed no Replies, just no Edit either. In those cases, I just Reply and mention the [Edit].
Also, it seems that the buttons get very scrambled at times, and Refresh does not always clear that up. I end up clicking where I "think" the right button should be and hope for the best. Seems that when the buttons do bunch up they can appear at random around the page, often three atop one another, and maybe one way the heck out in left-field.
While I'm on a role, it would be nice to be able to switch between Flattened and Threaded Views on the fly. Each has a use, and having to go to Options and then come back down to the thread is a very slow process. Jive is probably incapable of this, but I can dream.

Is there any way to get this palette into photoshop CS6?

I'm curious as to why Photoshop CS6 can't have a simple effective palette choice like this one from Fireworks?
I'm an artist and this palette makes sense to me. The standard issue pallette in Photoshop is a mess compared to this.
Is there any way to get this palette into photoshop CS6?
Thanks!

If your talking about the Color Cubes from fireworks as shown in your screenshot, then yes.
Save the swatches out of fireworks as an Adobe Swatch Exchange File (ASE) and then you can load them into photoshop
in it's swatches panel like below.

Why do I get a darker printed picture than what I see on the screen of my iMac

why do I get a darker printed picture than what I see on the screen of my iMac

Because your screen is calibrated incorrectly? Because you are using an Adobe RGB color profile instead of the recommended sRGB? Because your printer is not working correctly?
With no information other than "it does not work" guesses are all that one can provide
What set up do you have? What color profile are you using? How is your screen calibrated?
What else can you tell us?

I use a windows 7 pro and have no problem like that from bridge cc when I select a thumbnail then use menu Tools>Photoshop>Image Processor.. I see Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 start up then I see the Image processor dialog and that one file is selected in the bridge I the complete the dialog and click run. The image files are created. Photoshop remains open after the image files are create with no open documents. I need to click on the bridge in the task bar to bring bridge back into focus.

How do I get imovie to use Photoshop Elements 12 as external editor?

How do I get imovie to use Photoshop Elements 12 as external editor? I am making a movie slide show with music from my Caribbean vacation photos and adding text captions to photos in PS Elements 12. I can also add some effects to photos like edge blur although I like iphotos effects better but iphoto doesn't seem to do text. The finished PS Elements photo doesn't seem to want to be shared by iphoto which is what imovie uses...
I am still learning to use PS Elements 12 for Mac (had PSE 7 for WinVista but wasn't proficient) and Mac and it's programs are new to me. I switch between my old Dell which is still amped for graphics and the new Mac mini. I started to use Movie Maker to do my vacation project but read that imovie was better but so far it doesn't seem to have as broad of file useage when it comes to imovie and photo files.
Hmmmmm??? What to do?

You simply need to create your stills with Photoshop Elements, save them in a suitable format (.jpg, .png, .tiff are all acceptable) then drag and drop them into your iMovie timeline. You don't have to use iPhoto.

According to this page, you can use it for CC:
