Export to Jpegs problem. Corrupt background

Hi, I have finished designing a wedding album and when I export the pages as jpegs for printing to send to the lab, on certain pages where I have gradient colors on the background (like for example, going from light pink to white) in the final jpeg output, the background looks like a bunch of color stripes and not gradient at all. It's like a combination of stripes, some half an inch and others thin. It's a complete mess. The images inside the frames on top of the background look fine; it's only the background. Is there any setting I should be aware of, or is this a bug?
Thanks for your help.

The poor quality effect you are seeing is gradation banding. Depending on the variables (distance of gradation, colors used, output device, etc.) this is unavoidable, but a JPEG with it's lossy compression is going to aggravate the banding. If you absolutely need to provide JPEG, create a press ready PDF that you will rasterize each page in Photoshop. Then save each file as a JPEG with maximum quality.

Exporting a jpeg in background thread: ID CS5

Hi All,
I am working on a plugin for CS5 and CS5.5, My plugin requirement is that it should export a document to pdf and jpeg format on background thread, On looking into CHM I found that there is a article "Asynchronous exports, Multithreading" which says that only IDML and pdf are the two formats that can be export in background thread.
Is is possible eto export a document in JPEG format on bakground thread? if yes then should I need to follow aproach mentioned in chm article "Asynchronous exports, Multithreading" or there is some other way to do it.
Please help me to find out a way using which I can achieve this.
Thanks
Alam

topfuelmaniac,
I believe the issue will be solved if both the artwork and the Artboard are aligned with the pixel grid.
The Transform Palette has the option Align to Pixel Grid.
The artwork may be off, and if so, it is better to align it properly than to snip off parts to fit the size it should have from the start.
If you have portions of the artwork, such as parts of strokes, outside the Bounding Box, you may have to rethink. You can turn on Use Preview Bounds in the preferences to see the real size to be exported.

Is there a way to export a slideshow to JPEG without a background?

Hi, I'm using LR4 to do a basic sign with many text overlays on a background image in Slideshow. I would like to export this image as a jpeg and then print it as an 8x10 to put in a frame. However, when I export the slideshow to jpeg or PDF, I'm getting the black background behind the image. I have nothing checked in the "Backdrop" menu on the right hand side. Is there any way to remove this background in slideshow? Is there a way to do this in another module instead? I want more than just a watermark so didn't think Print was the right way to go.
Example of my print preview below with black background.

Looks like you won't need to use the Develop module–Follow the below instructions
1) An 8" x 10" image with 300 ppi resolution = 2400 x 3000 pixel dimensions. Make sure your background image has at least that resolution or higher!
2) Next from inside the LR Slideshow module drag the 'Top' guide all the up so the image fills the frame vertically:
3) Next go to 'Export JPEG Slideshow' and manually enter Width = 2400 & Height= 3000. The exported Slideshow JPEG should be perfectly cropped and sized providing the original background image is 8x10 aspect ratio:
4) You are ready to make your print!
P.S. Please excuse my typo showing 3000 x 24000 it should read 3000 x 2400!

No longer able to export in JPEG-B

I have this vexing issue that I cannot figure out. I can no longer export as JPEG-B. It has vanished from the list of available formats to export to. I have tried deleting the preferences and restarting the system. But no luck. Anyone have any suggestions. Or have a similar problem.

I was able to find a solution in this thread:: by lkrupp http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1344019&tstart=300

[CS2 AS] Export as Jpeg... image missing in the output.

Hi,
I'm using alot the export as jpeg feature as a validation helper while doing batch processing (for quality output, i have used export as pdf and rasterisation in photoshop... require more processing, but it give more reliable output).
So with the base export, i'm having a odd problem where on other machine the some images are not exported appropriately (some appear with a white strippe and other completely blank).
I have not found documentation on this but i'm pretty sure that the export is done from a low-res preview, so i suspect that that my script processing make the export before indesign has completed some document display refresh.
I tought that i could use a arbitrary delay, but i find this solution quite inconvenient as it make the process slower and not completely deterministic.
Is there a equivalent call to "recompose" that would let me be sure to call the export when the display refresh of the document is done? (if i remember well, i have tried forcing the document quality display to maximum).
Thanks for any ideas! :)
Eric

Picture has noise after export to JPEG

Hey guys,
I am using Lightroom 5.2 64bit version on my windows. After I export my raw in to the jpeg it has noise. But in the develop module it hasn´t. Also it has got a little bit noise in the library, but it´s the same picture. Where is the sense?
Here are some pictures of that problem:
1. The finally edited raw picture which I want to export.
2. The view from the library, you can see a little bit difference on the quality compared to the view from the develop module.
3. The jpeg after the export.
4. My export settings.
I don´t know what to do! I´ve googled a lot but nothing found.
Please help me and post any ideas.
Lovely regards

I have the same problem (OS X). Exporting to jpeg results in poor quality. This is a problem I didn't had with previous versions.
I took a look at the other threads which are mentioned here and effectively, the 1:1 view looks exactly like the jpeg export.
But this would be like looking at a 5x6 meter poster from two inches distance, which makes no sense. If you look from a 1 meter distance,
it is logic that you will see a bit less noise, things will look smoother.
This really is an issue. I always had an export and a print that looked exactly like how I saw it in 'fit' view in develop screen in previous versions.
It is completely stupid to be obliged to work in 1:1 mode for developing photos as this is the only option from what I read.
The image ont the left is a screenshot (apple+shift+4) from a jpeg export, 72 dpi, 1288px large side.
The image on the right is a screenshot (apple+shift+4) from a screenshot (apple+shift+4) from de the dev screen in LR, 'fit' view mode, 72dpi 1288px large side.
Both have a different size here because I didn't draw the same sized rectangles when taking the screen shot.
As you can see, there is a lot of noise that I don't see in the dev screen. The screenshot on the right is almost exactly what I see, except that it is a bit less sharper
due to jpeg compression, but it still is a better result than the compression of Lr itself. Should I process like this now instead of using export????
I loose sharpness but it has an overall neater look. The jpeg export is really crappy!
I did used a tiny bit of noise reduction and sharpening (23 - 22 respectively) and this has been shot at ISO 800, 5D miii.
The crop applied in Lr is maybe 8-10% so really not much. I avoid cropping as much as possible.
I updated to 5.3 and issue is resolved for me

Hi ,
Please first check the status of the Job , ifs successfully completed then debug it (tcode JDBG) and
check out, whether the values passed (might be using Import-export ,set-get parameter Ids) to the Job are getting passed properly or not. These values might not be getting passed properly.

After editing camera raw and export as jpeg,image becomes overexposed when view on light room..please advise.

need some help here. don't know if i can describe this accurately.
i was using lightroom previously. edit my raw file and then export in jpeg. everything appear normal as what i wanted.
recently i got cs4 and started using bridge. now after i edit my photo in lightroom and export,the view of the jpeg file appears overexpose(exposure was increase) and when view on adobe bridge same problem. but if i open photoshop and use my workspace colour setting everything is ok. when i see my picture on iphoto it is normal as per i have edited. i just don't know what setting i have touch that cause my viewing of edited photo on lightroom and bridge goes overexpose. on bridge,thumbnail ok but preview bad...
for the record: i just install CS4 and snow leopard recently. before this i have no problems with LR. I'm also not sure if i have accidentally change any settings.
i shoot with a 5D mark 2 and use the raw file for edit.
will appreciate any advise. Thanks

Yes
I've edited and exported an image to a different folder on my desktop. I've realised I still need to do some work on it
but when I try and open it again in Lightroom ( I see it in Library) I get a mesaage saying file not found...Please help
We're going to need a lot more details aobut exactly (EXACTLY) the steps you follow after you do the export, because normally I would say this is one of the easiest things possible in Lightroom. Are any files moved or renamed or disks unplugged in between the time of export and the time when you try to edit again?

White becomes red on export to JPEG - why?

I'm working with photos in lightroom, adjust colors etc. And finally export files to JPEG-format to use them with websites. However: White in lightroom becomes super-soft-red after export to jpeg.
Can someone please help?
Some data that might help:
Macbook, Mac Os Tiger
Lightroom for Mac
Monitor calibrated using Spyder 2
Shooting RAW with SRGB
I've checked all settings in lightroom but don't find any answer.
Thanks in advance
Andreas

>The problem is the difference between my workspace (lightroom) and the resulting JPEG (lightroom export). All my JPEG-exports from lightroom have more red than the version in lightroom.
If you are really exporting to sRGB jpegs (again, shooting in sRGB mode on your camera has NO impact on the RAW files - check whether the export settings in Lightroom are set to sRGB!), there are usually several possible causes for the redshift.
1. Your screen calibration is bad. This is very common and the fix is usually trashing the monitor profile and creating a new one. A common issue is bad monitor profiles supplied by monitor vendors.
2. You are using a wide gamut monitor such as an Eizo, one of the Dell HC screens, etc., and are viewing the exports in unmanaged apps. If you have a monitor that has a gamut significantly different from sRGB, you cannot use unmanaged apps, such as Internet explorer or Firefox 2.0 (basically every windows app except for Vista picture viewer basically), to judge color of your images. You need to use color managed apps, such as Safari, Photoshop, etc. to judge the color. Viewing sRGB images in unmanaged apps on such a screen will make your image appear oversaturated.
3. You are using a dual monitor setup and the OS is confused which profile belongs to which screen. Especially on windows, it is often not possible to really correct for two different screens even if the software tells you it does. This can be hard to diagnose, but usually it just takes plugging out one monitor and recalibrating the one that is still connected.
In conclusion, If you have a typical normal-gamut monitor and you have calibrated correctly, you should see almost NO shift when exporting to sRGB jpegs and viewing in unmanaged apps. The images should look identical in apps that are managed.

Canon 5D Mark III Jpeg problem

Received my new 5D Mark iii today. Pretty happy so far however I have noticed a strange issue with Apple Aperture when viewing jpegs from the 5d mark iii. I noticed a white line at the top of the frame or the left of the frame on vertical shots. It is more noticeable in full screen mode in Aperture.
I opened the jpegs in PS, Preview, DPP and the Finder and none of them show this white edge line.
The other odd thing is if I export a jpeg of one of these out of Aperture and then load the exported file the white edge line switches sides of the image. Also I noticed if I save a jpeg version out of PS and then import that into Aperture I do not see the white edge line.
I tried shots using multiple lenses as well with the same result.
Seems like Aperture has some issue with 5d mark iii jpegs. Don't think it is the camera since PS, DPP and Preview don't show the same issue.
Wondering if others have noticed this same problem?

Here is another example. This one I exported to Smugmug from Aperture and no white edge in the Smugmug posting. Definitely seems to be some wierd Aperture problem.

Cannot export to jpeg - disk may be locked or full

Hello!
I have a colleague, who's unable to export her documents (be it Jpeg or PDF). We're using Windows XP SP3 and CS3.
Her computer is a 2.4 Ghz P4 (afaik) with 2 GB ram and lots of free harddrive space (80GB+).
Still, when she try to export a relatively small document, InDesign claims the disk is locked or full. I've tried exporting it on her desktop as well on the server, where she is supposed to save it - but no luck.
When I try to export to PDF, it claims it's in lack of memory, even though there's still physical memory available, as well as a large page-file.
I'm quite sure, it's a bug in InDesign - but what do I do about it?
Thanks in advance
Thomas

Hello Eugene - and thanks for your time!
Unfortunately I was forced to change the page file size, because she was having problems in Illustrator as well. Illustrator claimed she was out of memory, and increasing the page file size helped.
You're probably right though, but I can't really tell her to change back and forth, depending on which program she wishes to use :-)
Do you have any other ideas?
Kind regards
Thomas
Edit:
Just to clarify, here are the precise error-messages (she sent them to me in an email, so I hope they are precise ;-) )

LR 5 Export als JPEG zu PS CS6 funktioniert nicht mehr. JPEG wird erstellt, PS wird geöffnet, aber das Bild nicht geladen. Bei "Bearbeiten in CS6" kommt der Dialog "Original oder Kopie" nicht mehr.

Ich benutze LR 5.5 und PS CS6 unter Windows 7. Seit heute geht plötzlich der Export als JPEG zu PS nicht mehr. Das JPEG wird erzeugt, PS wird geöffnet, aber das Bild wird nicht geladen.
Auch der andere Weg über "Bearbeiten in CS6" funktioniert nicht mehr richtig. Da kam sonst der Dialog, ob ich das Original, oder eine Kopie mit LR Anpassungen bearbeiten möchte. Dieser Dialog erscheint jetzt nicht mehr.

When exporting to Jpeg file, Ai file layers are missing.

Hi to all. I hope you can help me out. I have an AI file that i'm trying to export as JPEG because the PDF file is 26 mb and my clients want to have at least 3 mb file size. When i do the normal export to JPeg trick, I noticed that a lot of colors are missing, it turns out that not all the layers are included in the jpeg image. I tried going to attributes and deselected the printoverview but i'm still getting the same result. thanks!

cantdesigns,
Obviously, everything that shows within the Artboard/Crop Area should be exported. So unless the layers are hidden, something is quite strange.
I do not know whether it may be a preference corruption.
When something stop working, it may be a preference corruption. In order to restore the preferences, you may either Ctrl/Cmd+Alt/Option at startup, or Move the folder with Illy closed. The latter is reversible and takes care or more issues, but requires a greater effort, especially the first time used. See explanations in the latter
Reinstalling does not replace the preferences.

Help export the graphic with transparent background and not braking the quality

hi I'd like some help please if its possible.
I've created a monitor graphic in Fireworks that looks like iMac and I would like to export it with transparent background.
the jpeg format looks great with no damage to the graphic at all but I can't have transparent background, although I changed the canvas fill to none. the png-8 format can apply transparent background, but damages the graphic.
Here are the previews
1st - the png-8 format
2nd - thejpeg format
A ny ideas on how I can export the graphic with transparent background and not braking the quality??

Export anamorphic JPEG

Hello,
Another problem, i would like to know how to export anamorphic JPEG images?
When you export JPEG in AE, pixel aspect ratio have automatically the value 1, i would like to export one HDV frame 1440*1080 with a pixel aspect ratio of 1.33, is that possible?
Even if i set an output module template, i can't success?
Thanks in advance,
Fred

I can't see any preset resize settings in the output module that would give you that, but you could create a new output module template with the correct resize and have the script apply that.
If the problem is that this still doesn't tag the output with the correct aspect ratio, maybe you could have the script put the output comp in another comp with the correct pixel aspect and render it through that.
