Image changes

Hi
I'm trying to create a faded picture for a flash web site. but when I import the image into either flash or fireworks the image changes.
This is what I did:
I open a photograph which is rgb 8bits and the file has one layer.
I Press the add layer mask button
Make sure the layer mask is selected.
Select the gradient tool - select black to white
and draw aline from top to bottom I see my image with the transparent gradient I want.
If I then save this as both a PNG, PSD and Jpeg and then open them in PS they all look perfect.
If I then open in fireworks or import to flash the transparency is still there but is reduced.
On theflash forum is was suggested I select "enable the cacheAsBitmap property of both mask" but I can't find that option.
Has anyone any ideas?
thanks
Ian

Are you sure that it is the transparency that is reduced, and not the colors that might change?
I am not certain that Fireworks or Flash are color managed, so it is a path to investigate.

Why does the color and or tone of my image change?

Why does the color and or tone of my image change after working in LR for a couple of hours? I open LR and everything looks fine - work for a couple of hours on the same shoot - but then the pictures start to look flat or greenish cast as time goes by. All the files get flat and the greenish cast after a couple of hours - the ones already worked on and the newer ones I'm pulling up to work on. RAW files downloaded from a Canon 30D. Also exporting to PSCS2 as PROPhoto results in a flat image. I switched back to export AdobeRGB.

Hola - thanks for the reply - yep - closing and then opening LR helps - but can't do that all the time after processing 3 or 4 files.
One reply was a corrupt monitor color profile - So I deleted that one and loaded a new adobeRGB profile. That helped a little also for a while - I then reloaded my monitor drivers and refreshed them - that help for a day - the greenish cast is back It works fine on my laptop for now. The same pictures that look greenish in LR look great in Canon DPP. So it probably wasn't the color profile or monitor drivers. My issue started with the small scale previews so I bumped that up. Still have the issue. I finished up a project and now going to uninstall and reinstall LR. Let's see what happens with a fresh install. andy.

PDF image changes when opening in photoshop

sometimes when we open PDF files in photoshop the image changes. sometimes text disappears and other times fading occurs. Here is how it can be duplicated:
1. First try downloading the file here http://www.m3printing.com/files/wierd.pdf
2. open the file with acrobat. take note of the red NYN in the upper left
3. open the file with photoshop. you will notice the YN becomes faded
any clues as to why this is happening would be greatly appreciated
ps. we use photoshop CS2

This doc is unnecessarily complex in its color structure.
It uses CMYK and seven spot colors. CMYK is DeviceCMYK,
which means, the space is not defined in the doc by an ICC
profile.
A part of the red text vanishes if the doc is opened in Photo-
shop in CMYK mode. I don't know why. Perhaps a trans-
parency flattening problem.
Analyzed by Acrobat > Tools > Print Production > Preflight.
My suggestion: convert each page into a well specified CMYK
space as recommended by the printer.
The fastest solution:
Open in PhS in Lab mode with reasonably high resolution,
for instance 288ppi, convert into a specified CMYK space
and save as TIFF.
The correct solution:
Go back to the source program (InDesign) and replace all
Spots by process colors. Flatten and save by new name.
Export as PDF.
Flattening in advance to Export guarantees the appearance.
Export with layers contains the risk that flattening at the
receiver turns out to be wrong.

Why does color of image change when imported to Photoshop

When I import or edit my Lightroom image into Photoshop the color tones of the image change to a darker tone.
I'm using the same screen.
What can I do to correct this?

Thanks for both responses .
I tried changing the export settings but still get a different color image rom the one I get in Lightroom.
Also, the monitor was recently callbrated, so could the answer be in PHOTOSHOP's color management settings?
When I checked PS's Color Settings window the " Working Spaces" setting was at "sRGB"...
and
Color Management Policies @ "Preserve Embedded Profiles
My first export from LR was also @ sRGB.
Any thoughts on some common settings that might put this right?
Thanks again.

Why won't image change in aperture once I've export to edit in photoshop?

On going learning issue!
I finally managed to edit in photoshop via aperture. I have to change the photo from 16 bit to 8 bit so I can edit it. I like to take the photo into Photoshop (elements 4) to fix some spots and such.
It's supped to change in aperture when you are done editing in photoshop..right?
What I see is a new version of the photo, but the changes have not been made.
What am I doing wrong? I can see this becoming a problem when I try to export to print, burn a CD or even to web.
How I fix it?
Thanks!

<...>
3) Execute a File > Save command in Elements. (NOT a
Save As...).
4) Close the file in Elements.
The edited version will show up in Aperture
automatically with all of your changes applied.
<...>
One note on that excellent summary - you do not have to close the file after saving, you can continue to work on the image and save multiple times. Each time you save Aperture will recognize the changes and update the Aperture thumbnail.
As to the original problem, it sounds like possibly you were saving the image somewhere else? Converting to 8-bit should be fine, as is resizing the image - Aperture should adjust for any changes made to the image.
Another possibility is that Elements does not have something called "compatibility mode" turned on for PSD saves - if you've turned that off to conserve space turn it on again, because that compatibility mode saves a flattened image which is what Aperture uses to recognize image changes.

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.

Why does the quality of my images change after I click on Save For Web?

Creating that blur using my brush my entire image changes too and becomes blurry. Not only that but the area I painted also becomes over exposed. What can I do am I missing something here all I want is to blur a section and not change the rest of the area

Creating that blur using my brush. When I paint the area, which highlights in red, I bring the clarity down to create more of that blur but what ends up happening is that my entire image changes too and becomes blurry. Not only that but the area I painted also becomes over exposed. What can I do am I missing something here all I want is to blur a section and not change the rest of the area I am painted by automatically becoming over exposed. Does anyone else have this problem that can help me?

Do you think I should try to find a cheap mobo to OC my current CPU? How about trying to find one (mobo) used? I fear that my only realistic choice will be to scrap the CPU and eventually buy a new mobo and CPU, but as the CPU was only released just under two years ago I would value being over to overclock it with a cheap enough mobo to last me another year or so.
Who knows what additional problems may be run into by switching mainboards & such. The OS would have to be reinstalled fresh, etc. Money wise, it wouldn't make a lot of sense to invest more into a system that is rather outdated. The small performance gain making the switch to another board using the CPU you have, just doesn't really make much sense, especially if what you have now is completing the tasks asked of it. Save up some money, set it aside for a future build. There are plenty of new platforms in the works.

How can you make an image change every time you refresh a page?

Hi.
I've recently redone my website and was wondering how I could make the image on my main page change every time you refresh the page?
Like is there a certain script you can use?
Here's my website
www.liamfawcett.com
Thanks

Copy & Paste the following JavaScript code between the <head> and </head> tags in your HTML document, in Code View of course.
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
In the array, change URLs (http://www.example.com) to your own links. Change images (some_image.gif) to your own images.
Save page. Preview in browser. Hit refresh (F5 or Ctrl+R) to see the images change.

Discovering problem in image changing script

Hello!
I'm quite new to flash editing and am currently working on a pre-designed template for a friend. I was in the midst of replacing the photo's and something went awry with the image changing script. You can see exactly what I mean here:
http://www.greenworknow.com/Test/2138/flash&html/main.swf
http://www.greenworknow.com/Test/2138/flash&html/main2.swf
The first link is a successful working change, I had edited it a few days before and everything worked just fine. But in the second part you can see the same movie, but with the animations all choppy and broken. To change the images, I simply viewed the properties of the image needing to be change and used "Update", selected the new image and saved. But when following these same steps again I seem to get really choppy animations, any clues to what I'm doing wrong?
I've made sure to crop the new images to the same size, I've also tried using Import instead of Update. I can't seem to find a way to keep everything smooth. Any help is much appreciated, thank you!
[Also unfortunately I do not have the FLA file for the first movie, only the FLA file for the (broken) second one.]

Both movies look approximately the same. There was some jerkiness to the photos showing up in each movie. The problem that you are seeing may be due to the first movie's images being cached and the second was not.

Flattening an image, changes it

When I flatten my image at completion, The images changes. Looks like my adjustment layers reset blending modes and adjustments. Tried uninstall, restart of photoshop and Mac, tried to flatten from tiff, psd and PDF. Same thing happens.. Please help!

Your layered and flattened documents are 16-bit RGB and the zoom is below 20%.
I bet the layered doc matches the flat one when they are viewed at 100% zoom.
Viewing at less than about 64% zoom when image Cache Levels is greater than 1 results in Photoshop taking shortcuts in calculating the display composite of a layered image, which will distort the appearance. Among the shortcuts is reduction of bit-depth from 16 to 8.
A flat document is, of course, not subject to display compositing shortcuts.
If you layer an image to achieve a particular look when zoomed to below 64% then it's likely to look significantly different when viewed at a greater zoom percentage, or when flattened.
Viewing at 100% is the only way to reliably determine the appearance of a document. Regardless of compositing distortion, the interpolation to produce Photoshop's zoomed-out display is not calculated in linear space (although it should be, in my opinion) so tones can be severely distorted, even in a flat document, at zoom less than 100%.
Something to try is going to Preferences > Performance and setting Cache Levels to 1 in order to avoid compositing shortcuts. However, Cache Levels 1 in combination with 16-bit mode can cause problems for some graphics cards. If you do change Cache Levels, relaunch Photoshop to ensure the change becomes effective.

Desktop image changes after update or startup

Any one know why after a shut down and restart or after a system update half of my destop images change back to the default starview.. I have 8 separate desktops and the same ones always get knocke back to the default image. Then I go through the same process of customizing the desktop image and it sticks as long as I don't do a complete shutdown or updatge the system. And lately there's been a few updates.
Any insight would be helpful. While not a critical issue it's an annoying one for sure...
thanks

Hi Mende. Tried deleting the .plist in the library and after a few shutdowns got the same prblem happening again...Guess my Mac doesn't like my desktop pics...any other ideas?
Thanks

Image changes each time you visit the site

I want to use a selection of images on my home page which change every time you visit the website. For example, on your first visit it might be an image of a dog, then on your second visit it could be an image of a cat.
Here is another example of this technique... http://www.applebybowers.com/ When you click the refresh button, the background image changes.
Does anyone know how this can be done?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Vicky,
go to http://www.projectseven.com/products/galleries/irm/index.htm or there (it's a German website, admittedly, but I'm sure you will understand the instructions easily):

3GS Constant Issues: Application Image Changes/Frozen Apps/Low Signal, ETC

This is my THIRD iphone 3GS! So I would like to know if there is going to be a recall. My battery dies extremely quickly. My application images change and they freeze. I have the iphone 3g and I have great signal strength but the iphone 3gs does not. I have went through the Restore process/not restoring it from the old iphone onto the new (to not have the corrupt data on the new iphone)/ reboot the applications/ restart one by one and still the same issues. I have asked if it is an At&t issue but that would not explain the application image changes or frozen apps. All of my applications are updated... itunes and mac updated. brand new version...
Any one having the same issues?

It seems unlikely, because many us are having trouble-free 3GS experiences.
The only "solid" rumor is that a new OS 3.1 is in the works.
