Exporting PSD to JPG/TIFF generate a distorted black color

Hello,
I use Photoshop CC 2014.1 on OSX Maverick.
When I export a layered PSD to JPG/TIFF I obtain an image with a distorted black color. The image has multiple layers, two of which are the photo I took (with black background) and an added black background.
In Photoshop there is no difference between the 2 background (they have the same black colour), but the result of the exporting is the attached picture.
Could you please help me in solving the problem? How can export the PSD image correctly?
Thanks.
Andrea

Even if I flatten the psd there is the same difference
Then the difference is in the layered psd even if it many not be displayed in the layered state – is it visible at View > 100%?
Could you post a screenshot of the border region taken at View > 100%?
Noise in the photograph may be a factor.
I think you should apply a Layer Mask to the photographic element to make sure the background is uniform (the added black background).

Why no thumbnail when exporting psd or jpg?

When I export an image out of Lightroom the subsequent file has only the generic icon and no thumbnail. Is there a way to export with a thumbnail?

Do you have 'Show Icon Preview' turned on in Finder View Options, Cmd-J?

Lightroom export as psd or jpg

I am trying to set a good workflow in Lightroom at which I am quite new to. I am using Lightroom and Photoshop together to edit images. My question is - for images going out for print, is it better to choose psd -vs- jpg when sending the image from lightroom to photoshop for post processing? I assume it is and should select psd, send to photoshop (sharpen...) and then convert to jpg before sending out to print as my photo printer recommends. Thanks for your comments and help!!

Yep either psd or tiff when exporting would be my choice for work in PS.
However you could just edit in PS with a psd and then export that from LR as a jpeg, then the jpeg can be deleted and if you need another just export again from LR. It keeps all the files together in LR and you know whch you have edited as they have -edit after the file no.

Adobe Illustrator Export to JPEG (*.JPG) vs ICC Color Profiles vs Behance

Hi,
I work with Adobe Illustrator CC 2014. When I export my projects into *.JPG format (using both: 'Adobe Illustrator > File > Export' and 'Adobe Illustrator > File > Save for Web') I use ‘Embed ICC’ profile option. Every common image viewer I use (including web browsers and Adobe Bridge) respects those color settings and displays exactly what has been embedded. But when posting on Behance, my color settings are converted into something else! The only solution is to place my Adobe Illustrator file into a new Adobe Photoshop document , then export it into .JPG (with embedded color settings) and then post it to Behance. With this workaround my colors look pretty correct.
Did someone experience the same and could explain why Behance doesn’t respect the Adobe Illustrator export with embedded ICC profile settings?
one thing more – even if my *.JPG produced with Adobe Photoshop (the correct one) is displayed correctly, the cover photo (taken from the original) is still converted into different (Behance’s default??) color space. I believe this shouldn’t work this way. Is there any workaround to this? Is there any way my covers (miniatures) display the 'true' colors?
Please advise
Best Regards,

ok. I give up. It seems that Adobe Illustrator can export only to the JPEG File Interchange Format (JFIF) and Behence doesn’t fully support this format (for example it cannot read its icc color data correctly):
(JPEG) Formally, the EXIF and JFIF standards are incompatible. This is because both specify that their particular application segment (APP0 for JFIF, APP1 for Exif) must be the first in the image file. In practice, many programs and digital cameras produce files with both application segments included. This will not affect the image decoding for most decoders, but poorly designed JFIF or Exif parsers may not recognize the file properly (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG_File_Interchange_Format#Exif_comparison)
I’ve analyzed my files using JPEGsnoop 1.6.1 (really cool app by Calvin Hass, http://www.impulseadventure.com/photo/) and here is what I’ve found:
A) *.jpg produced with Adobe Illustrator > File > Export > JPEG > ICC profile embedded:

Dir Length = 0x0007
[Orientation ] = Row 0: top, Col 0: left
[XResolution ] = 720000/10000
[YResolution ] = 720000/10000
[ResolutionUnit ] = Inch
[Software ] = "Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 (Windows)"
[DateTime ] = "2014:08:02 17:21:15"
[ExifOffset ] = @ 0x00A8
Offset to Next IFD = 0x000000D4
EXIF IFD1 @ Absolute 0x000000E0
Dir Length = 0x0006
[Compression ] = JPEG
[XResolution ] = 72/1
[YResolution ] = 72/1
[ResolutionUnit ] = Inch
[JpegIFOffset ] = @ +0x0132 = @ 0x013E
[JpegIFByteCount ] = 1006

Dir Length = 0x0003
[ColorSpace ] = sRGB
[ExifImageWidth ] = 200
[ExifImageHeight ] = 200
So unfortunately the only option to produce the EXIF JPEG from an Adobe Illustrator project is to: Export *.ai file to JPEG (under Adobe Illustrator) > go to Photoshop > Create new project > Paste the *.jpg > and Sava As JPEG with icc embedded.

In Indesign CS6 I export an artboard to TIFF with the sdk's funtion SnapshotUtilsEx- ExportImageToTIFF(iStream) and, the resulting file is one pixel too large in the X, leaving a transparent strip on one edge. Any idea if there is a bug in the sdk?

An easy example to prove this bug of Indesing CS6: I create a psd with Photoshop CS6, with width 505 pixels, height 317 pixels and a resolution of 300 pixels per inch. This psd is placed on a page in InDesign CS6. Then I try to export it as a tiff with the functions:
fSnapshotUtilsEx->Draw(flags,fullResolutionGraphics,greekBelowPtSize,enableAntiAliasing,tr ansparencyQuality,abortCheck,pVPAttrMap,bDrawNonPrintingObjects);
and
SnapshotUtilsEx-> ExportImageToTIFF (iStream)
The resulting tiff has a width of 506 pixels (one pixel more in width). It will happen the same if we start with a width of 507 pixels, etc.
This error does not occur with Indesign CS5, nor Indesing CC.

How can export psd file to html including css in center position at flexible layout

need urgent help

Html is not an image format. It is a text format that can point to a png or jpg image in your web page.
Depending on the image, it may be easier to just export as a jpg or png and let dreamweaver worry about the html and css.
However, if you preview the image from the save for web dialog box in a web browser, it will give you the html code, that was generated for that preview.
In the windows menu you should find a css panel to use.

How do I convert psd to jpg on an IMac using PS Elements?
If you are editing a single psd file in the editor, simply choose 'save as' and specify the jpg format in the save dialog.
If you want to batch convert many psd to jpg in the editor, use the 'File/process multiple files' command.
If you are in the organizer, use the export function and select the jpg format in the export dialog.

Process Multiple Files - Convert PSD to JPG

Having problems converting large (30MB) psd files to jpg (not jpeg2000). I tried using the Process Multiple Files feature and when I tried to convert a large number of psd files (20 or more) PSE3 stops at the first file with a second window, SAVE AS, asking for a different format and gives these choices: Photoshop, JPEG 2000, Photoshop PDF, Photoshop RAW, PNG, TIFF. All not what I want. Yet when I convert the same PSD files to tiff it goes without a hitch, ie no second Save As box and no stopping. What gives?
Suggestions appreciated.

First, I'm using an iMac G5 with Mac OS 10.4.7 and PSE3. Actually my question is really about a Batch Flip. I scanned a lot of slides (close to a 1000) at the 'best' quality I could which was 16 bit color (or as Canon calls it, 48 bit) and 2400 bit dpi. But there was a problem in that the slides being 'emulsion side down' during scanning produced a mirror image. These images have to be 'Horizontal Flipped' to get back to a correct image. To do the flip I either had to do it one at a time with PSE3 or try a batch process. Trouble is the programs I tried for the batch process will not work on 16 bit files as I deduced from your reply. So, my thought was to convert them to jpg first then batch flip, hence my question here. Also jpgs would be more manageable for viewing, slide shows, editing and other software while I could store the original *.psd files on DVDs. So now I am left with doing a Batch Flip one at a time then storing the originals on DVDs, and as I have a Windows box connected, copy then over and use something like IrFanview to convert the originals to jpgs for slide shows etc. Another issue: are jpgs the way to go or is there a better format? Tiff?
Suggestions appreciated.

How to open jpg, tiff files in camera raw from elements 10 organizer

How to open JPG, TIFF files in camera raw from Elements 10 organizer.

Thanks for that Damead, I agree with you that Organiser is real pain (there is a total lack of intuitiveness if that is the correct word).
For my own work I use 'Lightroom' for around 90% of the time, only going into PSE10 for the 10% difficult bits the Lightroom can't handle.
I only needed to sort out the JPEG file opening method within PSE10 for some freinds in a small Photo Group that I run in Woodhall Spa, UK. 50% of the 12 members are beginners & a number of them do not have Raw capability on their Camera's, but now they can get their JPEG's into Camera Raw within PSE10 they have the same simple tabular form of adjustment sliders (not as many as in Lightroom of cause) but it gets over the labourious problem of going thru the PSE10's individual tool selection process each and every time since we are trying to get everyone in the Group working with individual Tools rather than the 'Auto' functions. We do this so that they learn what they are doing rather than staying 'dumb&happy' within Auto all the time & they also learn how to get more detailed control for each photo.
Ref. your comments on file handling/usage, I agree with your comments. Its far and away much more preferable to set up a file structure in 'Finder" (or in 'Explorer' if still using Windows) that you understand so you always know how to find the files. Also, I also never ever use the Camera Auto Load programme but physically 'drag & drop' photo files direct from the 'card' into the file system so I always know thier place (ie: they go into the location I want, not that which the Auto Loader wants).
As regards your comment about 'Lightroom', I don't have any problems at all since I just imported the whole of my photo file structure into the Lightroom Library Catalouge and then it automatically shows up on the LHS of the screen, still in that format, so you can search it direct within Lightroom and display all of the photo's in variuos arrangements and sizes; everything is as easy to find as it is in 'Finder' plus of cause you have all the 'Tagging' possibilities to use as well. As you add more new files into the 'Finder' structure, all you need to do in Lightroom is reimport, starting 1 level up from the new files and Lightroom will find the new files that need loading (ignoring the older ones already in the Library at that or lower levels) then 1 click and its done.
Your comments about getting others to follow a set file structure is very pertinant and also applies to evrything else that one ever does apart from just photo work; the times I have had to help others find info/files etc on their PC's because they don' know the location of anything is too many to contemplate.

Export PDF to TIF using Generator ES

I'm looking for a way to export a PDF to a TIF image. In the LiveCycle Administration Console I can use the export PDF function under PDF Generator ES and specify TIF as an output format. However, in the ExportPDF2 service, TIF is not one of the available export formats. Anyone know how to specify a TIF format?

Thanks Hodmi, exactly what I needed.

Export PSD file as is

I'm doing the trial of Aperture and love it, except for one critical thing. The round trip to PS works fine, it's the export that has problems. What I need to do is export a PS file with all the sizing, layers, color space, and everything I did in PS in tack. There's lots of present for exporting but none of them lets me export the file as is. Layers are flattened, color space may be changed (unless I change it from the export menu). Very frustrating when I just want the file as I had it in PS.
This is of course when I'm working with managed files. Referenced files are easy as I can just use the show in finder.
Thanks
Alan

Well I'll try and answer own question as best I can. I know that if I use managed files there is no way that I know of to export a PSD file out of Aperture in there original PSD form. The only way I could find to do it is to open the file in PS from aperture and then "save as" in a folder outside of Aperture.
This seems like a very cumbersome round about way of doing something that should be a simple straight forward export. The file is sitting in the Aperture library, I just can't get it out the way I want it. It gives me lots and lots of options for exporting but not the straight PSD file. The program is so good, why would apple omit such a fundamental option?

Export RAW to JPG question

Hello,
Here is once again a problem that I guess has to do with color management, and I'm having a hard time figuring out my mistake.
I'm editing my RAW files in Lightroom 5 and then export them to JPG (my settings are JPEG 100% / sRGB / no sharpening or any other editing option).
Then, to compare the RAWs and the JPGs, I import those JPGs back into Lightroom to make sure I'm seeing them with the same color profile (as I guess the basic "Preview" application I'm using on my MacBook is not color managed).
My problem is that the JPGs are much brighter than the RAW files (see screenshots).
I didn't calibrate my MacBook Pro's monitor (I'm just using Mac OS' standard color-LCD preset), and I'm not expecting other users to see my pics the way I see them on my screen, I'm ok with that, but I thought that on my own computer I would not see any differences between my RAW files and the JPGs I exported from those RAW files.
I found some similar threads on that topic, but usually the problem was that the users were checking the JPGs in a tool that was not color managed, and so it would not match what they saw in Lightroom, but since I do check my exported JPGs in Lightroom, I assumed they would be represented within the same color space, with no noticeable differences...
I'd appreciate if someone could tell me what I'm doing wrong!
Thank you!

To tell you the truth, a client asking for a 3MB JPG is a very meaningless thing to do.
Any time you are changing the number of pixels on a side, you are changing the image quality. Any time you are forcing the photo to be a certain size in MB other than the maximum, you are accepting a certain reduction in image quality. Which is worse? It all depends on the original, and how much change you are asking for.
So, that's my answer ... IT ALL DEPENDS.

Why the exported JPG file looks like completely black?

I've already exported a PDF file by Indesign, but when I exported it to JPG file (by Acrobat), the JPG looks like almost compeletely black. But When I exported it to PNG, or Open this JPG by PS, and save it again, the image looks like normal (no black). This is PDF creating problem ( by indesign) or JPG creating problem (by Acrobat)?

Can you attach a screenshot?
*http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenshot
Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum file size (1 MB).
You can try to search for a theme that looks better for you or maybe a solid persona with a suitable color.

TIFF generated with JAI won't fax

I have tried to generate some simple black/white TIFF files with JAI, which I have then sent to a fax via a tool on an IBM AS/400. The TIFF files look fine on my computer, and the faxing tool also sends them without problems, but the result when the fax machine prints them is just some random pixels in the top of the page.
I have tried all the fax compatible encodings - COMPRESSION_GROUP3_1D, COMPRESSION_GROUP3_2D and COMPRESSION_GROUP4, with the same result.
The funny thing is, that if I open one of the generated TIFFs in IrfanView and save it again with the same encoding, the fax machine is able to print it perfectly. So there must be some settings that are changed, which also can be seen by inspecting it with a tool I found called AsTiffTagViewer.
My original file:
ImageWidth (1 Long): 300
ImageLength (1 Long): 300
BitsPerSample (1 Short): 1
Compression (1 Short): Group 3 Fax (aka CCITT FAX3)
Photometric (1 Short): MinIsBlack
FillOrder (1 Short): Msb2Lsb
StripOffsets (38 Long): 450, 490, 530, 570, 610, 650, 690, 730, 770,...
SamplesPerPixel (1 Short): 1
RowsPerStrip (1 Long): 8
StripByteCounts (38 Long): 40, 40, 40, 40, 40, 40, 40, 40, 40, 40, 40,...
Group3Options (1 Long): 1
After being through IrfanView:
ImageWidth (1 Short): 300
ImageLength (1 Short): 300
BitsPerSample (1 Short): 1
Compression (1 Short): Group 3 Fax (aka CCITT FAX3)
Photometric (1 Short): MinIsWhite
FillOrder (1 Short): Msb2Lsb
StripOffsets (1 Long): 8
Orientation (1 Short): TopLeft
SamplesPerPixel (1 Short): 1
RowsPerStrip (1 Short): 300
StripByteCounts (1 Long): 1101
XResolution (1 Rational): 0
YResolution (1 Rational): 0
PlanarConfig (1 Short): Contig
ResolutionUnit (1 Short): Inch
Software (10 ASCII): IrfanView
So the question is, whether someone knows which of the tags that are relevant for making it fax-able, as well as how to set them with JAI, which I haven't figured out yet.
My code:
//Read PNG file, save as TIFF
String sourceFile = "jaitest.png";
PlanarImage image = JAI.create("fileload", sourceFile);
BufferedImage bi = image.getAsBufferedImage();
OutputStream os = new FileOutputStream("jaitest.tif");
TIFFEncodeParam param = new TIFFEncodeParam();
param.setCompression(TIFFEncodeParam.COMPRESSION_GROUP3_2D);
ImageEncoder enc = ImageCodec.createImageEncoder("TIFF", os, param);
enc.encode(bi);
os.close();

Problem solved by experimenting. Don't ask me why, but it works when I do this:
param.setWriteTiled(false);
param.setTileSize(IMG_WIDTH, IMG_HEIGHT);

How do I drag / drop larger .psd or .jpg to Adobe Illustrator?

I am trying to use Adobe Illustrator to create 1-page advertisements for magazine publications. These advertisements have text, pictures and my business logo. Unfortunately, I can not drag my logo from Photoshop Elements (nor Photoshop) to Adobe Illustrator. The .psd of the logo file is 4 MB in size and a .jpg of the logo file is 700 in size.   I have no problem dragging small pictures that are ~150K in size.
Can someone please advise how to place the logo onto my Adobe Illustrator work space?
Is there a way to import the larger .psd or .jpg logo file directly into Adobe Illustrator?
Is there a better Adobe application to use for these ads?   (From a learning curve, I am comfortable with Illustrator and DreamWeaver and still learning Photoshop.)
My applications: Adobe CS3 Suite for web publishing as well as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Photoshop Elements, Premiere Elements and Adobe Illustrator
My system: 8 GB Ram, MS Vista
Please help.   Thanks.

That works if all the data is available as a file at the point where you start the drag.
In my case it is not, I have got to go get it from the database, and that can take up to 30 seconds.
So I want to do that bit when the drop happens (which users are used to as for instance when they copy a large file in Windows at the moment), not when the drag starts (which is very difficult to provide any visual feedback for).
