Halo Effect When Sharpening in Photoshop

I dare say this has already been posted but I can't find it described as I am about to, so please bear with me...
Whenever I use Photoshop to edit an image and then save, all is well. It looks great and prints great. However, upon returning to Aperture, any areas that have had sharpening appear with a halo effect rendering (forgive the pun) the image useless as it persists throughout Aperture so I cannot print or export to the web or to a book. An example is here:
http://web.mac.com/twyles/
The image on the right is the image on the left as viewed in Aperture. The dark grey bits are where sharpening has been applied in Photoshop.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas on correcting this?
Many thanks!!

Graeme - You are a STAR!!!
That's been bugging me for months and months!!! I basically create an alpha channel and apply the find edges filter in order to selectively sharpen areas of the image. Even when flattening an image the channel was still there.
Once I remove it and save, the version in Aperture looks fine.
Many, many thanks

    You should provide more detailed info, like who is your VPN provider, what VPN protocol (PPTP, L2TP, IPSec,) whether you're on home Wi-Fi, public Wi-Fi, 3G and if public Wi-Fi or 3G, then geographical location. (i.e.: Starbucks on 5th & Broadstreet, Detroit.)

  • Photoshop scale effects when transforming?

    Is this me or is there a way to transform the layer effects of layers in photoshop with out having to scale the whole document in image size or after scaling with the transform tool having to go into every single layer and scale each effect. This is a major bug bear for me and hasn't been addressed in any upgrade since layer effects were introduced it is such a simple thing. is there a way?

    have you tried the Layer > Layer Style > Scale Effect dialog box ? or also you could right click on the layers and choose create layers to create layers with the effects on them.

  • Images in ACR are softer than when viewed in Photoshop?

    Greetings,
    I'm finding that when I view a RAW image in ACR 4.1 that the image does not appear as sharp as when I open the image from ACR into Photoshop and view it in Photoshop. I open my RAW files from ACR into Photoshop as PSD files. The image as viewed in Photoshop looks sharper at values less than 100%. Here's a screen grab of the same image (Photoshop on the left, ACR on the right), side by side at the exact same viewing size (23.1%), and the Photoshop image has more sharpness and clarity to it. It's minor, but noticeable in the leaves and bricks and it gives the ACR image an overall soft feeling.
    http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1jidvrPRXgXSfq8c5IHonNL13oeEI
    Do the programs handle interpolation diferrently when viewing images at less than 100%? Or, do RAW and PS files inherently display differently when not viewed at 100%? When both are viewed at 100%, they match. This isn't a major deal breaker -- but the lack of clarity at smaller viewing sizes in ACR is unfortunate, since I rarely view images in ACR at 100% size when I'm reviewing images and images that I think are soft are, in fact, not.
    The disparity seems more pronounced with images in portrait orientation.
    I'm using a Mac Pro, Radeon X1900, 23" ACD. Canon 5d images.
    Anyone experience similar? I love ACR, but wondering if someone can shed some light on this.

    Thanks for the clarification now -- it makes sense. I knew ACR only showed the effects of sharpening at 100%, but had forgotten to take into account Photoshop shows the effects of sharpening at all sizes, including under 100%

  • Help lighting effects greyed out in photoshop cc

    Have an RGB image  8 bit , using macbook pro  about 3 years old , the menu is greyed out cant access lighting effects filter  . done search no luck
    help please if possible . want to have sun light streaking through underwater
    thanks

    I had this problem and tried lots of things advised on here but nothing worked. Eventually I uninstalled Creative Cloud Desktop using the uninstaller then reinstalled it from the CC site. When I reopened Photoshop the Extensions menu was available and the add-ons loaded. I have done this on two Macs now and it worked both times.

  • "Glass" Effect Lettering Created In Photoshop Does Not Appear Correctly.

    I have made some "glass" effect transparent titles in Photoshop by putting a normal title over a transparent background, adding an inner glow and bevel and then reducing the Fill Opacity to zero.
    This is how it should look:-
    However, when I import it into FCE/FCP and superimpose it over video the title usually looks solid black - as it did originally before I reduced the Fill Opacity.
    I have tried every combination of Composite mode I can find in FCE/FCP to no avail.
    Is it possible to show it the way it is intended and if so, can anyone suggest where I am going wrong?
    Ian.

    Hi(Bonour)!
    Start with a transparent background in photoshop. Compose your title document (yopu can put a reference layer at bottom of the stack to see how title will appears on your image clip- if so, pay attention to make this backgroud inactive upon exporting) and save in PNG format (this format save the alpha channel-transparency- with your graphic elements).
    Import in FCE, and compose your title over your video clip.
    Use normal composite mode.
    You can also use Boris title or livetype to achieve the same result.

  • ACR 4: Fill Light and Recovery producing halo effect in CS3

    When adjusting Fill Light or Recovery in ACR 4, I'm getting an outlining effect in contrasty areas of some images. Happens with both RAW and DNG files.
    <br />
    <br />This does not manifest itself with any other adjustments.
    <br />
    <br />Anyone else seeing this? I've included a couple of examples, one with no post processing and one with Fill adjustment only.

    David,
    In case you are still monitoring this discussion, I also have experienced these halos whilst using Lightroom to edit Tif files which are both under and overexposed in the same image - that is, they are very contrasty. This experience has been subsequent to the release of both CS3 and Lightroom - which both use the ACR 4 engine, as I understand it. From my observations, the halos result from using a combination of too much Fill and Recovery but seem more influenced by Recovery than Fill. I have thought that this is not unexpected, and is therefore probably not a bug, as there must be a natural limit to how much of an overly contrasty image that you can rescue. I have been able to minimise (but not completely eliminate) the halo effect by judicious use of added Exposure in lieu of some Fill (to recover at least partially some of the underexposed regions) and a reduced amount of Recovery - and just accepting that all the highlights might not be as optimally enhanced as desired. Perhaps the halo effect produced by these wonderful tools may be further reduced in subsequent releases of CS3(ACR4) and Lightroom - a possibility hinted at by Jeff Schewe in his reply to your post.

    Windows will scale applications display or windows will not scale application display depending on how the application is coded.  Photoshop is coded in a way that its display is not scaled by windows.  Photoshop knows about your displays high pixel count not its resolution  so it uses its pixels  however it does not scale its UI to make it usable on your display.  Other application let Windows  scale their display output.   For example Microsoft default for is Surface Pro 3, 216 ppi display is to scale applications display up 150% so the surface pro 3 display which has 2160x1440 pixels a 216 ppi resolution look like at display with the user is using with 1440x960 pixels.  The Application works like the display is 1440x960 and Windows scale those pixels to the displays using the displays  2160x1440 pixels the effectively changing it resolution to 144ppi rather than the actual 216ppi.
    The reg update  and external manifest file  effectively tells photoshop its working on such a size display display some number of pixel wide and some number photoshop uses that as the display size  in turn Windows scale those pixels to use the displays 2160x1440 pixels efector lowing its 216ppi resolution.  Photoshop CC 2014 2X UI would be like using windows 200% option applications would be shown the are working on a display 1080x720 instead of the Surface Pro 3 2160x1440. Note that 1080x720 does not meet PS requirement of 1024x768.  Photoshop UI would not fit on the Surface Pro 3 display..
    Since you have a 4k display if you have CC 2014 you can use its 2x UI effectively Photoshop will be running on a 1920x1080 display and have half the resolution of you 4K display  3840x2160 pixels four native pixels are use as a single pixel.   1920x1080 pixels exceed PS requirement.

  • Just installed After Effects CC - now my Photoshop CC crashes on open

    I just installed After Effects CC.
    When I open Photoshop CC (has been installed for months working fine).  It opens, but if I click anything on the interface, I get the spinning beach ball and it freezes.
    I uninstalled After Effects CC using the Adobe Uninstaller in Utilities in Applications.
    After uninstalling After Effects, Photoshop worked fine.
    I re-installed After Effects, made sure it completed installation and ran all necessary updates.
    Opened Photoshop - same problem - freezes on launch.
    Please help! I need to complete this work today!

    I have found a fix:
    Go to this folder: User > Library > Preferences
    Right click on the 'Adobe' folder and click 'Get info'
    Click the lock in the bottom right to unlock this pane and enter your password
    Under 'Sharing & Permissions', Give all users the "Read & Write" permission
    Click on the cog at the bottom of this pane
    Click Apply to enclosed items
    Enter your password and voila! - Photoshop works as it should.
    I hope this works for everyone else, too.

  • When I downloaded Photoshop from the Creative Cloud, it did not include Adobe Bridge?

    When I downloaded Photoshop CS6 from the Creative Cloud, it did not include a copy of Adobe Bridge. Adobe Bridge does not appear in the selections in my Adobe File Manager to download from the Cloud. How do I obtain a copy of Adobe Bridge?

    Bridge is automatically installed with Photoshop, After Effects, InDesign, Illustrator etc. There is no specific option to install it.

  • Irritating "see thru effect" in Bridge and Photoshop

    The see thru effect is ok in this OS, but it is really irritating working with ex Photoshop or Bridge etc....when you got that see thru effect, specially at white points, ex if your browser is open under this programs.
    This means I have to minimize all windows under my photo programs, a irritating effect, that should havebeen possible to turn off at users choice...maybe there is???
    Anyway....please update without that effect or the possability to turn it off. OS Yosemite is good, but this makes it "imposible" to use for photo editing, video editing etc..
    Please look my video to see what I mean: http://youtu.be/hX2JjrdfdsQ

    Thanks Ken, will have a look at it after job.
    No I was not referring to menu bars etc...but as you see in my video at youtube (link in my first question) you can see the squares of the white fields in website, showing thru the Bridge window when I drag it over the browsers window, even when I drag Photoshop over the Bridge window you "see thru" both. You see it as a "dark blue square"....and I point at/circling around it with my mouse.
    Very irritating when dark photos (specially) as it not show at the photo when it is a bright full colored photo.
    Only on black.
    I hope reducing transparency will solve the issue.

  • Keeping images sharp when importing to Photoshop?

    Hello all,
    I have a small problem I am hoping someone here could help me with.
    Working with complex vectors is much better in Illustrator than in Photoshop but when I create my vectors in Illustrator and then pull them into Photoshop, they always end up being more blurry than when I work in Photoshop alone.
    Is there some sort of trick in working between the two to retain pixel perfect bliss?

    Pasting vector art into Illustrator and keeping as much of it sharp as possible can be a tricky thing depending on the project. It takes some up front planning before and during the design process to get the best results, especially if you're working on something that will have a limited amount of resolution like a web page interface. If your buttons, boxes, etc. that you're designing in Illustrator don't line up with the pixel grid in Photoshop the edges will be blurred and inprecise rather than razor sharp.
    It can help to make sure raster effects settings, document size, etc. in Illustrator match up with the document size in Photoshop. Within Illustrator the document either needs to be designed using a pixel-based unit of measure or something that corresponds with it. Hard edged objects (such as a rule line, rectangle, etc.) need to be sized and lined up with the pixel grid to avoid having edges blurred when pasted into Photoshop.
    Here's another "gotcha": Photoshop doesn't paste Illustrator artwork into a PSD document precisely. For the past few versions Photoshop often misaligns the artwork when it is pasted. It doesn't matter whether you paste the Illustrator artwork as pixels or paths. Zoom in very tight and the artwork will typically be off between 1/4 and 1/2 pixel -enough to really screw up an intricate web page interface layout. This glitch isn't a big deal as long as both the Illustrator artwork and Photoshop document are properly sized. I just use Photoshop's transform function to resize the Illustrator artwork so it precisely lines up with the Photoshop document. I use the side handles to snap the artwork to the edges of the Photoshop document and then click the check mark. Zoom in tight to check the results. If the Illustrator art was designed with the pixel grid in mind it should line up perfectly once the transform is applied to the pasted artwork.

  • White halo effect on every screen on iPhone - Any ideas?

    I have recently begun to have problems with my 18 month old iPhone 5 freezing in shutdown. I have had to reset it several times. After checking all settings and deleting unused apps etc. I seemed to have resolved the problem and it has been fine for about three weeks. However, today whilst the phone was recharging it began an intermittent beeping - this stopped when I disconnected it from the charger. I then updated it to the most recent iOS 7. This evening it became very overheated (hasn't done this before) and now it is displaying a white halo effect on every screen.
    The phone has not been dropped or ever immersed in water. I only ever use the original lightning cable and charger.
    I have 6 months to go of a 2 year contract.
    Has anyone else had this problem? Is there hope or is my phone in its death throes??
    I would greatly appreciate any help or advice. Thank you.
