Flattened image looking different than when layers are all seperate?

Hello, I have an image that I've made in illustrator/photoshop and I noticed that when I save the image as a jpeg out of photoshop after it is finished it looks way different that it does while in photoshop. I merged the layers just out of curiosity and it looks that way after all of the layers are merged. I have no idea why it is doing that. Is there something I can do to change this? it is just happened to one of my images. I have multiple pieces in this style and it hasn't happened to any of the other ones. Any help is appreciated, thanks

Try adding a copy merged layer to the top of the stack before flaterning (Shift Alt Ctrl e)

  • Colors in FCP looks different than when playing in QT7

    The colors of the video's in FCP looks different than when playing back in QuickTime. I wonder if it can be a color management setting in FCP? I have the same problem when playing a clip in AE. I have two FCP machines, but only one of them is having this problem. Any ideas of what I can do to get the right colors back?

    Have you enabled Final Cut Studio Color Compatibility in the QT Player preferences?

  • Lightroom Image Looks Different than in Windows Viewer/CS5/etc.

    I've seen this discussed elsewhere, but I believe the nature of my issue may be a bit different, so please excuse the repeat inquiry.
    I'm currently using Lightroom 3 on a 17' Samsung Syncmaster 920NW on two different desktops. The hardware configuration for each machine is also identical, with only a few minor exceptions. However, the images on one machine display drastically differently in Lightroom, as opposed to any other Windows application. I've updated the video drivers for both computers, reinstalled the monitor drivers for both, and have uninstalled/reinstalled Lightroom on both with no success in remedying the discrepancy.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated in finding a solution to this issue. It's very frustrating to be anchored down to one desktop due to the inconsistencies of the other.
    Thanks!

    You need to calibrate both monitors to identical settings, the luminance value being very important, using an appropriate calibration tool and software.
    Spyder Elite software has a specific settings too enable you to match monitors across machines in a studio setting, or from a desk top to a laptop. Without calibration images in viewed in colour managed applications will always look different. If you do not wish to colour manage you can always set a colour space such as sRGB as a monitor profile on all the machines, the only difference you will see then will be down to the luminance value of the monitor. However this will mean images viewed on other peoples screens may differ markedly from your own. The real solution to colour problems is to use colour management and this means calibration of your monitor as a basic requirement.

  • Why are some (but not all) of my Muse slideshow widget images rotated differently than when I edited them in Photoshop CC?

    I have a few dozen photographs embedded in the slideshow widget. Most of them appear exactly as I edited them in Photoshop, but several appear rotated clockwise 90 or 180 degrees. Does anyone know why this is happening, and ideally, how I can correct this problem? Thank you.

  • Imported image looks different than Export

    When i import DNG picture in lightroom it looks like it has some filter on it and when i export it it looks normal so i cant see the real changes while editing the picture
    You can see it clearly on this example, same picture, no edit. just exported

    Your monitor profile is corrupt as is clear from the color cast on the histogram. This happens a lot on windows installations. You need to recalibrate your display. Best is to use a hardware calibrator. Second best (but very far removed) is to use the built in visual calibration tool in windows or mac os X.

  • PDF document looks different than when printed

    With Acrobat Reader 9, we've noticed that when we print the documents, their is some sort of margin in the printed report, but when we view it on screen in Adobe Acrobat Reader 9, there is no margin.
    Is there some setting in Adobe Acrobat Reader that could be causing this?

    Change the document so that it prints without scaling.

    Do you capture in RAW or JPEG? What software do you use to view your image? Is your monitor calibrated? What is the brightness level on your camera LCD? All of these information can affect your image. And keep in mind that image on the back of the camera is often brighter and more saturated.

  • The way Aperture renders my Nikon RAW (NEF) files look different than...

    The was Aperture renders my NEF files looks different than NX...
    Ok so I use all the in camera setting/tools to the best of abilities to try and cut my editing down as much as possible but when shooting RAW I end up having to tweak every images to get them back to what they really look like... I shoot often RAW and JPG combined and when I open a NEF in NX and a JPG in PS they are identical and need very little work, when I use Aperture the NEF files are very different looking from the JPG (or NEF in NX) and every single one needs tweaking (I get more redish/pinkish skin, often a hint of green cast to (slightly off WB/tone thing) and more contrast.
    Below is screenshot showing the difference between a JPG (or NEF in NX) and a RAW file in Aperture
    [img]http://www.pbase.com/ray645/image/120052970/original.jpg[/img]
    This is just a silly snap shot in very flat overcast light, and has the least amount of shift or difference of any image type so far, when I use strobes, shoot for a more contrasty image, gel for color and manual WB the differences are huge almost to the point that you would think you where looking at two completely different images and not the same NEF opened in different software.
    How do I go about getting Aperture to render my NEF's more like what I shot like NEF in NX, JPG in anything, and even the back of the camera screen?

    Thank you, that seems like will work, just having the boost turned down a bit on import has helped tremendously but I cant stop feeling like I am moving towards the "Fix it in post" mentality
    I will need to get better at tweaking my images... No matter how I try I cant kill the pinking skin or the very faint green glow in blond hair or bright neutral tones without affecting other areas of the image.. I am sure I will figure it out but anyone having any tips or links that could speed up my process I would appreciate it.
    The green is weird its like someone snuck a small florescent light into all my shoots without telling me, not major but enough to be annoying.
    I shoot a ton of motor sports (3000 images a weekend) and shoot JPG and have gotten good at using in camera pre sets, knowing what I got and getting it right in the camera, I wish Nikon would give up the code or whatever is needed for all the info to be carried over to Aperture..... I would pay the $100 or whatever to use the NX engine in Aperture

  • Exported images looking different in different browsers

    I've just published a set of images to my website using a publishing service from Lightroom 5, sRGB. The images look different when viewed in Chrome and Firefox browsers, Chrome looking fine but Firefox displaying them with a red cast. The also display with the red cast in some parts of the OS X Finder but not in Lightroom or Photoshop.
    I've run one of the images through Jeffrey Friedl's online exif viewer and it's telling me there's no colour space metadata or embedded colour profile in the images ( http://goo.gl/Ouqkis). this would make sense as far as the strange colour goes but I thought Lightroom always embedded a colour profile?
    I've had a couple of suggestions that revolve around changing firefox settings but really I just need for the images to work in any browser, without visitors having to care.
    Does anyone have any thoughts
    Sample screen grab, Chrome to the left, Firefox to the right.

    Ah ... hang on, I had a second, wide gamut monitor attached to the computer yesterday, mirrored display. Now it's not. I'd been mostly viewing in the main monitor (Macbook Pro), that was the one that was out and I wasn't checking the second monitor much after uploading. I'm willing to bet that was it. Second monitor affecting colour management on the first .....
    This is what you are seeing and why everything now looks fine on your MacBook's display, which is NOT wide gamut:

    Here's a screenshot of an sRGB profile ColorChecker image file with and without the profile in FireFox and Chrome browsers. All four browser images look identical on my non-wide gamut display...what do you see?

    As long as the images are sRGB profile it doesn't matter whether the color profile is embedded or not.

  • I am on a different computer but where are all my i-tunes?

    My main computer is getting fixed. I have bought several thousand songs from i-tunes. I logged on to my laptop with user name and password to get at my itunes and none of the tunes are there? How do I get them? Please help! Thank you.

    I am on a different computer but where are all my i-tunes?
    On your main computer.
    I logged on to my laptop with user name and password to get at my itunes and none of the tunes are there?
    They're on the computer's hard drive. Each iTunes library has its own music selection, which is determined separately from the iTunes Store account system.
    How do I get them?
    Restore them from your backup, or an iPod or similar device via the Transfer Purchases command in iTunes. If you don't have one, wait for the main computer to be returned.

  • Output jpeg looks different than edited RAW image

    I just got CS6 and have been working on some new images in RAW.  Once I finished the editing I wanted to do in RAW, I saved the image as a jpeg, then clicked "open image" at the bottom of the RAW window.  The image that came up in Photoshop looked nothing like my edited RAW image.  It's as if none of the edits ever occurred.  I've looked on the internet and tried figuring it out on my own.  I'm at a loss and would appreciate the help.

    Noel - first of all, thanks much for taking the time to respond to my question.  You helped me realize (and I should have realized this last night) that my question and problem statement lacked a lot of detail.  I'm new to Photoshop, but I've learned a good lesson.  Here's some more details:  I use a Nikon D700, WIndows XP OS, and CS6.  After taking the images from my memory card directly into Bridge, I can see that the images look "good", meaning they match what I was seeing on my camera display.  The metadata for my photo of interest states that the color profile is RGB, and I assume this is sRGB?  I open the .nef file directly into CS6 RAW.  Once again the image in RAW looks just like it did in Bridge and on my camera display.  I like how it looks in general, but I make the manipulations I want in RAW (removing blemishes, softening skin, etc).  Prior to saving the manipulated image, I click on the Workflow Options link below the image and choose 8-bit, sRGB, then save it as a .jpeg.  Photoshop's color space has also previously been set to sRGB, so the two match.  If I open the image from RAW directly into Photoshop or open the newly created .jpeg from Bridge into Photoshop, the image no longer looks like what I saw in RAW.  The image looks sort of hazy, the black background that was completely black in the RAW image is now visible in the Photoshop image, and the model's skin, which looked nice and smooth in RAW, now looks pixelated. 
    You suggestions about color management make sense, and I bet I'm still making some sort of mistake in that regard.  Any ideas?

  • Duplicate version looks different than original -- same adjustments

    This morning I imported a few photos (D70 RAW), found they looked good with the default processing (no adjustments applied other than the default RAW 1.1 processing), and created duplicate versions to crop to different sizes. The duplicate versions look different -- the dark areas of the photos are lighter and noisier (sorry, still learning proper photo terminology). The duplicate versions have the identical adjustments (none). I tried toggling the cropping on/off, and the duplicate versions still look different.
    This is very odd... has anybody else experienced this?
    iMac 24" 2.16GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   2.0 GB RAM NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT 256 MB Nikon D70

    I did a little more investigation on this issue, and found that when I make the duplicate version, the image still looks identical. It is when I crop the image that things get messed up -- even if I then remove the crop adjustment.

  • Flattening image changes values of adjustment layers

    I'm working with CS3 on a Mac OS 10.4.9, 4.5 gb ram. My image consists of 6 adjustment layers and a background layer. 5 of the adjustment layers (all curves) are set to luminosity and 1 color balance layer is set to normal blending mode. When I flatten the image the tonality in part of the image changes. I also tried merging down the adjustment layers one by one into the background layer but the final result is the same. Any suggestions?

    Are you looking at the image at 100% of size (actual Pixels)?
    It make a difference to what you see on the monitor when you flatten Layers.

  • Photos in Library module and after export look different than in Development module

    Hello,
    I experience a problem.
    After I update photos in the Development module, the updates seem not to be shown in the Library module. And when I subsequently export to Flickr, Flickr is also showing the original photo, not the adapted one.
    I noticed this the first time after making Blacks a bit deeper, causing a sunflower to become a deeper yellow. I thought that my adaptations were not applied in the Library module. After I checked with cranking down the Saturation all the way back (to almost black-and-white), that adaptation WAS applied in the Library view. So it had to be something else, causing the same color difference between the Library and Development modules.
    When I switch from the Library module to the Development module, I see a slight delay in applying my changes, but they are applied. Before they are applied, I can see that the original photo is shown and that looks the same as in the Library module and on Flickr.
    The photostrip on the bottom of the Lightroom screen also shows the original photos only, unless I go to the development module and select a photo (adaptations are applied in the photostrip after I select the photo, not before).
    After I played a bit more in the Development module, I found something strange in the Camera Calibration menu of the Development module. The Adobe Profile (my default) caused an obvious color difference between the Library (less saturated) and the Development (more saturated) modules. The Camera Standard profile also showed a (very) slight difference, but I was unable to notice the differences using the other profiles.
    So I was thinking (but it's only a guess), that the profiles are not applied in the Library view and on export, but they are in the Development module?
    I use Lightroom 5.6, Camera RAW 8.6.
    Please help me, as this is very annoying. I currently cannot export my photos to Flickr or anywhere else, unless I overcompensate before exporting. And I really don't want to do that. My Lightroom photo is my perfect photo, and I want to keep it that way...
    Many thanks in advance for any help,
    Peter

    Hi ssprengel,
    Thanks for your reply. Let me react to each possibility you mention and provide some extra information.
    - "Check your Export / File Settings / Image Format and make sure they are set to JPG not Original". Done that, it's not on Original, but on jpg. This would not explain why I see the difference in the Library and Development modules, by the way. But better to know for sure.
    - "...the most likely thing that is wrong is your color-management on your computer is not working properly". It is a PC with Windows 7. I have been using Lightroom for maybe 6 years and I never had this problem before. The last time I changed my setup is more than a year ago and this problem only started to happen a short while ago (after the update to Lightroom 5.6? I'm not sure, but that's the only thing that has changed lately). I use a Spider to create a custom profile that is correct for my setup and do a regular update on the profile.
    - "what brand and model of monitor do you have?" I have an EIZO FlexScan S2411W and use that for a long time as well. I chose this brand of monitors for its good color reproduction and I have been happy with it for years now.
    What I am not getting is why would all this show a difference between the Library and Development module? The only difference is the Lightroom software that is switching from one module to another, and that should deliver the same photo. I'm also stating in my first post that the differences are very noticeable using the Adobe Standard Camera Profile in the Development module. I have a feeling that the profile is part of the problem.

  • Bug? Images look different in photoshop

    Hi,
    Am hoping somebody can help me as I must be doing something really stupid here. I'm currently evaluating various workflow products, and really like Lightroom but find that whenever I import an image into LR the tones, particular shadow tones, look way too dark. They look kinda posterised.
    My monitor is color calibrated with a spyder. I am running Windows XP.
    I've attached a link to an image to demonstrate. I took an sRGB JPEG and imported into LR. I then edited a copy in PS (exported as ProPhoto - converted in PS to Adobe 1988 colorspace), another copy is shown exported to Capture NX (also Adobe colorspace).
    http://www.hamiltonconsulting.net/strange%20tones.jpg
    if you look at the shadow tones in the folds of the jacket you can see a minor difference between PS and Capture NX but you can see a clear difference in LR. The shadows are way darker.
    The image opens fine it every other application I have tried, including the free XP viewers. LR is doing something strange to the file but I cant work out what.
    I first noticed the problem occuring in Beta 4.1 and am now getting the same issue in the new Lightroom demo ( I had hoped it was a bug that would have been fixed). I have been installing all sorts of evaluation software of late, so maybe something hasnt been cleaned out of my registry, or something is clashing.
    So far, I've tried lots of different images (all with the same problem). Recreating an image database. Reinstalling LR (countless times).
    Does anyone have any ideas as to what I can try or do I need to reinstall my entire PC

    Yeah dude, that totally makes sense.
    "I notice blocking... that... really is a function of lighting..."
    Is that some sort of new-age yet-unheard-of phenomenon? If so, please elaborate by all means.
    The point is that the image looks like crap displayed in the 'Library' module of LR, but looks fine in any other program. Because no other program is content with sitting around and displaying to you a low quality JPEG preview of your, say, high quality 16-bit uncompressed TIFF image.
    That's why there's no blocking in the image loaded up in Photoshop. Yet it's there in LR because LR doesn't bother to render the image 'on-the-fly' until you step into the 'Develop' module.
    You don't believe me? Then be happy in your ignorance.
    On another note, though, instead of jacking it up to 400% when it's clearly evident at 100%, try calibrating your monitor with a hardware profiler so dark parts of images don't become a muddy mess of blacks. Be forewarned though that it's a double-edged sword: on the one hand, after calibration, you suddenly begin to see details in shadows that you may never before have seen; on the other hand, JPEG artifacts & noise in dark portions of images (inherent to JPEG compression) also become as apparent. Hence, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and figure you just can't see the blocking due to your monitor.
    Finally, on a LR-unrelated note, why don't you come back to these forums when you're ready to write posts free of cheap ignorant insults?
