Grey color doesn't show up in photoshop

When I am using Photoshop, it doesn't display the color grey correctly. Usually when I use the color picker tool, it shows different shades of the color grey on the left hand side. But now, even if I input the color code explicitly as #757575, it displays a color which is more brown than darkgrey. I don't have any idea what would could cause this problem. Same problem occured also in illustrator. I am using RGB color mode.
I really hope someone knows the answer.

Your problem has to do with color correction on the monitor. If you add a bit of red to the gray you will get brown. Using a color calibrator it will generate a file that will correct the diffference. It also will tell you how to adjust the monitors settings as well. In that you manually adjust the menu setting of the monitor. Then the corrected file fixes any differences from that. It also will take into consideration your ambient lighting in your room, which will affect the colors you see on the screen especially gray.
So for about a $100 or so you can get the correct colors on your monitor.
Tip: when your done use the same software on a laptop and adjust your TV. It won't use the corrected file, but it will be useful in manually adjusting the RGB controls of the TV.

  • Installed fonts (mac Default font) in my Font Book doesn't show up in photoshop  CC

    Hello, I'm in trouble with fonts.
    I'm using mac OS X 10.9.4 mavericks.
    I want to use 'HanziPen SC' which is already installed in my Font book but it doesn't show up in photoshop CC.
    It has been default font since mavericks, maybe.
    And I have same situation in AI as well.
    I've already tried to clear cache and reboot photoshop but it didn't work to me.
    Does anyone help me?

    Thank you for your kindness!
    It was solved!
    But in my case, the reason why it didn't show up was veeeery stupid...
    I checked out Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CC/CT Font Cache/Adobe_Fnt_OSFont.lst
    Then, there was 'HanziPen SC' and I found out surprising fact!
    Its Writing script was 'Chinese'!!
    So I couldn't find 'HanziPen' even though I typed 'HanziPen'.
    It has been shown up in Chinese...
    What I did is to over write WritingScript,FamilyNameNative,StyleNameNative,FullNameNative to Japanese.
    I don't know why it happened to me at all. but anyway, finally I was able to  see the one in photoshop CC.
    Again, Thank you for your kindness. If you didn't suggested about cache files, I might have not found out the answer.
    Thank you!!!!

  • Scanner driver doesn't show up in Photoshop

    Sorry if this isn't the right forum for this...
    I have a Samsung SCX-4521F multifunction printer/scanner that I can't get to scan. The software that comes with the printer doesn't work with Macs so the manual says to install the included Twain driver and scan via Photoshop. I've installed the driver, twice now, and the printer still doesn't show up under 'Import' in PS. There isn't a listing for Twain under Import, either.
    The printer is connected to an Airport Extreme base station and the AP extreme is connected to the computer via an ethernet cable. I can print with no problems so I know the computer can see the device. Is there some sort of setting that's keeping PS from seeing the scanner?
    I need to scan in a ton of photos so I need to get this resolved asap. Please help!
    I'm using PS CS3 extended, BTW.

    It seems that the driver that came with the printer isn't compatible with intel iMac PS. If I open PS via Rosetta the driver comes up under import. Open PS up regularly and it's missing.
    That problem is solved but now I have a new one. The driver shows up in PS but when you select it you get "scanner not found". On a hunch I unplugged the printer from my Airport and connected it directly to the iMac. When I do that it finds the scanner and I can scan without a problem. I don't know if it's an Airport issue, permissions issue or if the PowerPC driver doesn't communicate well with the Airport.
    If I make more headway I'll update this thread for the benefit of future searches.

  • I installed a TrueType font that I've created and it doesn't show up in Photoshop, but it does show

    Can anybody help me? Why Photoshop is doing that?
    I even reboot my computer. I'm working with Windows XP and Photoshop CS3. Thanks.

    Isa,
    >The font is one that I've created to make a website
    Then you need to review and validate this font. No idea how you created it, or if the software you used to create it is good or used correctly.
    If your font doesn't appear in all applications, yet it is installed and activated the same way as the other fonts recognized by Photoshop, would tend to indicate font corruption or duplicate activated fonts.
    But, if you have a gazillion fonts activated in Photoshop, know that Photoshop has a limit on how many fonts can be active simultaneously (at least on the Mac side). But if you have that many fonts activated, you need a good font manager. That many activated fonts creates excessively long font menus and slows down system performance.

  • CSS -- background color doesn't show with scroll bar

    I have a nav bar with a background-color that shows up fine if the image opens to the right size.  If, however, the window opens small and I have to use the scroll bar to move things over, the color for the nav bar isn't there.
    Any thoughts would be appreciated.
    Here's the code:
    HTML:
    <body>
        <div id="Global">
            <div id="navHeader">
                <div id="navBar">
                    <ul class="navStyle">

                        <li>Contact Us</li>
                        <li>Join</li>
                    </ul>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </body>
    CSS:
    @charset "utf-8";
    /* CSS Document */

  • Filter plug-in doesn't show up in photoshop CC

    Hello,
    I've been trying to install several filter plug-ins for Photoshop cc (Mac OS) and the installation through extension manager seems to have worked, but the filters just won't show up in the program. I restarted it a couple of times but the extensions just won't show up. I figured the plug-ins didn't go into the photoshop plug-in file after installing them, but it's not like I could've chosen how and where the extension manager puts them. This is confusing. What can I do?
    Thanks!

    Please read the Where To Find it information for each add-on that you install also, because this explains where to find the filters after installation. The quickest way to access that information for each add-on you have downloaded is at this page: https://creative.adobe.com/addons/my_addons

  • PHotoshop CS4 - scanner doesn't show up in File - Import

    Hello,
    I have an Epson Perfection 4180 scanner, and Photoshop CS4 extended and a Mac OSX 10.6.3.  I installed photoshop but the scanner doesn't show up under the File>Import menu. Normally it be there, i'd click it, and it launches the scanner within photoshop.
    I found some info on google which suggested to look in a  folder on the installation DVD called "Goodies"
    In there is a folder called Optional "Plug-Ins"
    In there is a folder called "Import-Export"Where i found a file called TWAIN.plugin
    I put the file into Adobe Photoshop CS4/Plug-ins/Import-Export but it still doesn't appear in photoshop file > import.
    Any ideas on what i should do?
    Many thanks
    Rossella

    Use the stand-alone application.
    And/or do a Forum search for »CS4 scanner« – that should turn up a couple threads.

  • Photoshop doesn't show Lightroom settings, like cropping

    Hello,
    - I'm on Mac OS 10.9.1 (Maverick)
    - I have a scanned tiff file inported in LR 5.3
    - I do some adjustments in LR, like cropping, curves, etc...
    - I choose "Modify in Photoshop CC", with the top option "Modify a copy with lightroom settings" (supposed translated command from french versions)
    - A file is opened in PS CC last version (14.1.2)
    - The opened file doesn't show the LR settings (the cropping is not applied, for example)
    If I export to tiff in place of modifying in PS, the generated tiff file is correct and includes all LR settings.
    I use Photoshop since the beta version and LR since 1.0 and I'm an experienced user.
    This is something that seems to have appeared only a few weeks or month ago (Maverick ? LR 5.3 ?)
    I tried a lot of things but this keeps happening.
    Any idea ?
    Many thanks.

    My problem seems to be now resolved.
    - I uninstalled PS CC with the uninstaller
    - I restarted my Mac
    - I reinstalled PS CC from the CC menu
    - Opened LR, chose Edit in PS CC
    - picture opened correctly in PS with all LR settings
    - I then reinstalled my third party plugins, one by one
    - the culprit was one of the Nik Software (now Google) plug-in.
    I did several times the uninstall reinstall operations to be sure and it is clearly confirmed.

  • The colors are not showing up correctly on my site like they do in photoshop and explorer.

    Why don't the colors show up correctly in Firefox? They are exactly the same color yet firefox shows them as slightly different. I checked them in Photoshop. Same hexadecimal, same RGB. It looks correct in Internet Explorer but does not in firefox. The color is: hexadecimal: #0FCFF3, RGB: 15,207,243.

    This can be caused by a problem with the color profile for your display monitor or color profiles embedded in images.<br />
    Try to disable color management to test if it is caused by a problem with color management.<br />
    You can set the gfx.color_management.mode pref to 0 on the about:config page to disable Color Management.<br />
    You need to close and restart Firefox to make the change effective.

  • PhotoShop external editor doesn't show up in Preset file application support. It is listed as the top external editor. But will not go there

    PhotoShop external editor doesn't show up in Preset photoShop file application support. It is listed as the top editor in the Light room preference. But it will not go there. You can use export to Photoshop CC but not as a editor. It stays there. I have OS10.8 and Photoshop CC not Photoshop CC2014 at this time. If I go to presets in Lightroom preferences and push restore export presets
    do I also lose my plugin presets and have to reload them ?

  • Acrobat CC doesn't show or print spot colours in a Photoshop PDF

    When I open a Photoshop PDF, with a spot colour channel, in Acrobat CC 11.0.04, the spot colour doesn't show. But it shows when I click Output Preview (in Print Production). The colour doesn't print either. It also disappears when I convert it into CMYK (by checking the "Convert All Spots to Process" box in Ink Manager). I'm running Acrobat on OSX Mavericks.
    Has anyone had similar problems?
    Any help is appreciated.

    Thank  you for your reply.
    Indeed, I tried saving a PDF that had the "default appearance", it shows exactly the same. So it looks like it "can't" show the image.
    However, of course, I do want the image to be shown. How can I achieve this? How can I tell Adobe Reader (and other PDF viewers) I really really realllyyyyy want to see that image there? I believe I'm not doing anything really exotic, right? There must have been tons of other people that wanted to do the same thing, I guess?

And surely if I am backing up the whole computer these projects/videos will be backed up too? I wasn't sure how to do this any other way and I am clearly not great with tech issues. Once this is done and I am sure my projects/videos are safe I will do the delete and reinstall bit. Thanks for taking the time to help

  • Photoshop app doesn't show up after install

    I installed PS with Creative Cloud app. The app says it is installed on the drive, but I can't find it anywhere. The destination folder is "applications". It doesn't show upo in lounchpad, spotlight or in finder. When I right-click on PSD files it doesn't show up either. I tried to install another language versions but result is the same. Please help.

    PawelCiuraj you should be able to locate a folder titled Adobe Photoshop CC in your Applications folder.  If you are unable to then I would recommend uninstalling Photoshop and reinstalling.  Please see Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html for information on how to remove and reinstall the Adobe software titles included with your Creative Cloud membership.

    If Photoshop crashes the should be a System crash report generated by your OS. For example Windows
