Image created is cropped, doesn't match preview

In creating any image size larger than 11x17, I get the same result. The document previews correctly, but the PDF image is cropped on the right and bottom. (The remaining area is white space.) I've attempted this by "adding" new page sizes under properties and by "creating custom page size" under Converter Advanced Options.
Searching help and the forum has returned only one document that seems like it might apply. There's a help doc on "Presets" that talks about Engineering Drawings. However, this doesn't show up under my settings options and the doc is totally inadequate in describing how to get to it. There's a reference to a location of "extras" in docs & settings, but it isn't there on my system and a search for the folder has come up blank for anything related to Adobe.
I've got a couple of hours invested in this and I'm pretty frustrated. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I've got a couple of days invested in the same problem. The good news is that when you choose your file to be converted, if you will change the type of files box to just the file you want to convert (For example: change "all files" to "doc" files), a little settings box will come up on the right that will allow you to change the size of the pdf documents. The bad news is the pdf still converts to letter size, no matter what you put the settings at. If you find out what the problem is there, please post it.

Exports come out with blocky titles and shifting pixels, doesn't match previews.

OK i have 720x480 29.97 footage which I imported and dragged a clip down to the new item icon to make an appropriate sequence. I created titles which ended up looking blocky in the program monitor for some reason. I then made a 1280x720 sequence for the heck of it and it turns out the titles look fine in those in the program monitor. I went to export and it looked fine in the render preview as well, but the final export in 720 (480 footage placed into a 720 timeline and exported as 720 in BOTH 29.9 and 23.9) and titles looks horrible. So deos the video itself, the pixels are jittery (Expecially in a shot with roof shingles for example). I am looking at the export settings and have no idea what could be going on with this.
To add to this, I have actually exported version of this project in the past just fine. I am just doing something new to it and am now just facing these issues. I successfully exported all sorts of ways in the past.. I have brouhgt it into a sequence fit for the footage using the new item icon, and exported out as both 720 and 480 in 29.9 and 23.9, even burned to dvd in Encore and it played fine.
Im not wrapping my brain around how suddenly titles can look like blocky garbage in a 480 sequence, or why the render previews arent matching the actual output. any adivce here appreciated.

Image color in jpeg doesn't match backround color in web page

I made a simple panel in photoshop and used the #number for the color selected to fill one side of the panel in my CSS code. When the page is rendered there's a very slight difference between the panel and the background which I expect to be exactly the same.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks

This is normal behavior for Photoshop, or any color managed application.
There are ways to guard against it. The root of the problem is that jpgs
are color managed by Photoshop, while the web background is not.
You may be able to do an end run around the problem by using a transparent
png image instead of a jpg. If you want to stay with a jpg image, the
simplest solution is probably to turn Color Management off in the drop-down
in PhotoShop's Color Settings (accessed via ctrl-shift-K). Another
possibility is to assign (not convert) your image to your monitor profile.
It is also highly advisable to use sRGB as your working space. Do not
embed a profile if it is important that the jpg's colors match the non
color managed objects on the web page.
If you do embed a profile - for example the sRGB profile, then color aware
browsers will convert your jpg images to the user's display profile, and
the person viewing your web page may see a mismatch between your carefully
prepared jpg and the background.
It is conceivable that certain color managed browsers will default your
image to sRGB, and perform a color conversion even without a profile, in
which case you will see a mismatch no matter what you do. If that happens,
you may be able to do something tricky, like use a scaled png or jpg image,
filled with your background color, as your background.
The key point to remember is that gif images, and numeric web color values,
are not color managed by color aware browsers, but jpgs are. Including an
embedded profile in the image means that the browser is free to convert the
colors in a jpg image. Result: different color numbers.

Video is a frame by frame images sequence and not all flash
content will be exported
to that format unless design with it in mind from the very
beginning. For instance
Movie clips or some of the new features can't be exported. In
case of Movie clips,
you need to change their behaviors to graphic symbols so they
can play along the timeline,
tho won't if the timeline ends. There are many other things
to consider, let me paste

Printout doesn't match preview

I'm printing a brochure on pages. The print preview looks good, but the printed page has two unwanted lines.

A blank document is still a template.
I guess you mean the two lines middle left and right?
In Pages:
Menu > View > Show Layout/Invisibles
also
Menu > Arrange > Section Master > Make Section Masters Selectable
Then zoom in and see if there is anything there.

Image in Lightroom doesn't match exported image viewed in Photoshop

After all my hard work in Lightroom, I export the image to a folder on my hard drive. When I open this exported image in Photoshop and view it alongside the Lightroom version of its "twin" in Lightroom, there is a significant difference. Why is this? I want to use these images in my books, but my time is wasted if I end up with anything other than what I created in Lightroom. Shouldn't these images match exactly?

Thanks Jao and Michael...the color management idea makes a lot of sense.
Adding to this idea, when I open the Pshop file I get a message about the doc having an embedded profile that doesn't match current RGB working space, and the usual 3 options: Use the embedded profile, Convert color to the working space, or discard embedded profile. No matter which option I choose, none of the opened docs match the Lightroom version.
The color balance is fine, but the colors aren't as vibrant. The Pshop photo is dull and lifeless compared to the Lightroom version. I used Clarity which added subtle brightness, and Vibrance to crank up the color in LR which added wonderful dimensionality and punch to the landscape scene, but the Pshop version has dulled these back down.

[help] images colors doesn't match

Hello, when I place an image inside a new document the colors doesn't match with original.
For sample I save in tiff format from photoshop a rich black (70% 50% 30% 100%) when I place inside illustrator I get (86,01% 84,97% 78,95% 100%).
The color profile are syncronized and I use Europe General Purpose 2 (CMYK Coated FOGRA27 ISO12647-2:2004)

How do you know what values the bitmap image has in Illustrator? Did you pick up the color with the Color Picker? It's possible this originally picked up the value in RGB, and that got converted.
Does Illustrator have a CMYK separation preview such as InDesign, where you can measure the original TIFF values? If not, you can also save as PDF and examine that in Acrobat, using the Output Preview.

Can a use a partitioned external hard drive to create a disk image? I tried, doesn't seem to work using disk manager.

OK, it's very bad computing to use a backup disk for anything but a backup. The reason being is if/when the HD crashes you will have lost not only all your backup but the data files. While I commend you for wanting redundant backup, you really need separate EHDs for doing so. Format each EHD using Disk Utility to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) using the GUID parttition. When you connect, OS X will ask if you want to use that drive as a Time Machine backup drive, select yes and then let it backup. On the second EHD format the same way however do not use TM as a backup, this time I'd suggest an app such as SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner to make a clone of the internal HD. Leave both EHDs connected and TM will backup new or changed files automatically on a hourly basis. The clone you will need to set to backup on the schedule you want. For example I have my SuperDuper EHD set to backup only changed or updated files at 2AM every day.
The advantage of a clone is that if the computers internal HD crashes you can boot from a clone and continue working, TM will not do that but it's great for keeping an archive of all files. So if you want a version of a file from many months ago, TM will help you locate and restore it.

Bridge doesn´t show preview of tif-images

Hi,
I uses Bridge CS6 on a Mac with MacOS 10.9.2. Suddenly bridge doesn´t show previews of Tif-images. It´s also impossible to fill in any metadata. The program also says that the image isn´t tagged with any color profile. I don´t have these problems with jpegs, only with Tif-images. I even get previews on the RAW-images. Does anyone know what the problem can be?

I guess I have to try to reinstall the program.......
I'm 99,99 % sure that won't help solving your problem because to possible being effective you also should use the Adobe Clean tool to get rid of a lot of the hidden files that just stay put during a normal reinstall. But if you want to do something easier instead of reinstall, quit Bridge and go to the user library (by default hidden per OSX 7, use Finder, menu Go with option to reveal this library)
In the preferences folder is plist file for Bridge (com.adobe.bridge5.plist), drag this file to the trash. Then in same library go to the folder Caches / Adobe/ Bridge CS5 and inhere delete both plug in and folder called Cache. (this means recaching the previews and thumbs).
Then restart Bridge holding down option key and again choose 'reset prefs'. All previous deleted items will be replaced with new, fresh and empty ones and you have an almost like factory settings Bridge without the need of reinstall.
But I really suspect it comes down to the Tiff files so maybe also a reset of preferences in PS might be worth a try.

Big Colour and detail changes between Original Nikon RAW files and the images created on the Preview page!

Big Colour and detail changes between Original Nikon RAW files and the images created on the Preview page! Yes there are distinct visual changes when I preview my Nikon NEF RAW Files.Please note I do not use iPhoto at all.
If you view it as a contact sheet straight from the original folder there are no alterations but the moment you double click and want to 'Preview' it, this new preview page introduces very noticeable distortions : lighter shading goes missing and colour goes darker e.g orange turns red and mid blue goes deep blue! Alarmingly the little column on the left of the preview page showing the collection shows the original file colours and then after a few seconds show the new distorted image...you can see this visible change and it takes place after a few seconds once you double click! Also if you use Apple's 'Cover Flow' to preview, this function will replace your original RAW file with the new 'altered preview' image!
I have raised this with Apple but they have yet to reply...has anyone ever experienced this? I have used my Mac book for 18months only noticed it about 5 days ago!
I went to Apple store and we tried it in other laptops and Macs and it happened to all of them so we think this is a software issue and not down to the laptop.
Any help is much appreciated!

How do I create multiple crop outputs from ACR?

In CS5.5 my workflow involved selecting a number of RAW files and opening in ACR. I could make corrections as required, but also apply individual crops to each image. For instance, twenty might be set to 10"x8", another ten to 15"x12" and thirty to 8"x6". When I then clicked done. I could run image processor on the files and point to a hotfolder on the network which was watched by the RIP running the printer. The RIP could then pick up the files, composite them, and start the print queue. it was a hugely efficient system.
That now seems to have been given the kiss of death because the crop tool in ACR no longer offers any option other than a ratio. My understanding from these forums is that output size is now governed by the workflow options dialogue box. But the problem with that is that it applies the same output size to every image selected, not to mention the fact that instead of opening one dialogue box (namely the custom crop tool), I now need to open two.
I am at a loss to see how this is a more efficient system. Please give us back the facility to set custom crops with different output sizes, or failing that, can someone explain to me how I now do what I was doing without having to do twice as much work? Otherwise I may as well cancel my CC subscription and go back to 5.5

Are all the file specs that you set up in Image Processor available in the Save Image button in ACR?
If so, your steps could look like this:
With Crop tool, set image to correct proportions.
In Workflow Options, choose preset you made for 10x8.
Click Save Image button, choose preset you made for format/file specs, click Save.
While that is processing in the background, repeat steps 2-3 for the next two image dimensions. The odd one is the 8x6 dimension because it doesn't match the proportions of the first two, so for that one you'd have to go back to step 1.
If you can accomplish your entire workflow in Camera Raw, and if I haven't misunderstood what you need, this could end up being a more efficient workflow overall by saving the trip out to Image Processor.
Of course, this assumes you've set up presets (a relatively new ACR feature) for your standard dimensions and file specs so that you can keep the number of clicks to a minimum.

The pt 3 tutorial code doesn't match the pt 2 tutorial code. Nowhere to insert head in pt 2 code.

At the end of the part 2 tutorial, this was the code:
@charset "utf-8";
/* CSS Document */
#container {
width: 968px;
background: #FFF;
margin: 0 auto;
padding-left: 10px;
padding-right: 10px;
overflow: hidden;
}#main_image {
background-image: url(images/main.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
#container #main_image {
height: 376px;
width: 968px;
#left_column, #center_column, #right_column {
width: 316px;
float: left;
#center_column, #right_column {
margin-left: 10px;
The part 3 tutorial instructed this:
Copy the <script> tags from the Edge Web Fonts site, and paste them into the <head> section of index.html in Dreamweaver just above the <link> that attaches the style sheet like this:
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Check Magazine</title>
<script src="http://use.edgefonts.net/sarina.js"></script>
<link href="styles/check_cs6.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
</head>
As you can see from the code at the end of part two (listed at the top), there is no reference to <head> anywhere in the code; therefore, I am uncertain as to where to insert these code instructions.

I assume that the embedded tags are in the index document, not the styles type document?   I appreciate the information, but I don't see how it relates to my question. Maybe your answer was just over my head? My original question was: If the instructions say this:
Copy the paste them into the section of index.html in
Dreamweaver just above the that attaches the style
sheet like this:
and there the word does not appear anywhere on the index file that I can see it (whether it's embedded or otherwise), where do I insert the code?

The pair of and tags are an integral part of any HTML document. When you create a new page in DW, it automatically creates the core HTML tags for you, so in that regard, there's nothing for you to add except content and styles. Embedded CSS styles are inserted inside the document's tags like so:       body      #LeftSideBar       #RightSideBar      #MiddleContent
External CSS is a separate physical file to which all your HTML pages are linked. Similar to above, links to external style sheets go inside the tags like this:

Bounding Box Doesn't Match Object (Illustrator CS4)

I'm not sure if this is an error on my part or a bug, but for the last week or so, the bounding box for my objects hasn't actually matched the objects. This is really problematic when I try to transform the object using the bounding box handles.
On occasion, after I transform the object the bounding box will match it again and will transform correctly. Sometimes it will stay off. If it does reorient itself, undoing the transformations back the original size will cause the bounding box to reset back to it's mismatched state.
Things I have tried to resolve the issue:
Reset the Bounding Box
Copying and pasting the shape to a different document
Starting a new document from scratch (I thought it was possible I corrupted the file)
Return Keyboard Shortcuts to the Default
Restarting Illustrator
Restarting my System
To my knowledge, my system hasn't been updated in the last week nor has anything new been installed. However, IT does push out maintenance so there is a possibiltiy that it was updated and I don't know about it. The only programs open while working in Illustrator are Bridge, Outlook 2007, IE8, Explorer, InDesign CS4, Word 2007, Photoshop CS4, Acrobat Professional 9, Dreamweaver CS4, PowerPoint 2007, Previewer and possibly FireFox 3.something (though not necessarily all at once - generally about 7 of the above listed). My system runs XP Professional SP3 with an Intel Core2 Quad @ 2.66GHz and 3.25 GB of RAM. The objects are not grouped, do not contain clipping masks, do not contain transparency masks and are not compound paths. They are simple paths/shapes, often rectangles.
I have included some pictures to better explain my issue. This first image indicates how the bounding box doesn't match the rectangle.
The second image shows the process of transforming the shape via dragging.
The third image shows the result.
Thanks for any help you can provide!

Mr. Bugge:
Thank you for your response and I apologize for the delay in mine. I couldn't try all of the fixes immediately because I had to complete some job duties before I could tinker with this issue.
Things that did not work:
Closing Firefox
Clearing the Preferences
Moving the Preferences Folder
Deleting Temp Files
Closing Other Adobe Programs (Including Bridge Running in the Background
Things I cannot do for various reasons:
Re-installing Acrobat
Turning Off the Firewall (My Company Only Uses 1 Anyway)
Things I haven't tried yet but hope to try later:
Update Printer Definition or Change Default Printer
Check for Corrupt Fonts
Clear My Font Cache
Things I learned:
The issue is most easily recreated by transforming an object to a smaller object. However, zooming in will realign the bounding box but it will only stay aligned when zoomed in. I find it very curious.
Even if I don't end up finding an answer, I do appreciate your time and help.

How can I convert an image created in Photoshop into a format that Java's ImageIO library will take?

Hi all,
I've been trying to write an image resize tool to use the Lancoz resample algorithm to resize images to a high standard in Java. The library with the algorithm/filter in it is mortennobel's image scaling library and it takes a buffered image as an input and returns the resized image as desired. However the trouble I’m having is that the ImageIO library in Java, a standard library, which converts images given to its read method to buffered images doesn't accept certain images created in Photoshop and so it throws an exception. My library needs to be fully automated to process possible thousands of images at a time and so manually converting them by resaving them as JPEG's is really feasibly. Is there some way I can convert these images from Adobes Exif format to standard JFIF format? I've tried simple inserting the APP0 marker from a JFIF image in-between the SOI and APP1 marker but the ImageIO library still failed.
The above image is a screenshot of the binary in hex of one of the images that cause an Invalid Format exception when passed to ImageIO.
Any help you could offer me with this would be much appreciated.
Kind regards and thank you,
Alexei Blue
Science Warehouse.
NB: I previously posted this post in Developers but was told to post it in a Photoshop forum so apologies if this is the incorrect formum

The image scaling library does have a BiCubicFilter in it so I'll experiment around with them and see what happens. As for the imageIO library I think it accepts Exif image types, but still for some reason it just doesn't like Adobe Photoshop types. Maybe its the colour map it doesn't like I just can't seem to work out what's wrong which is slightly frustrating but looking round to see if I can find an answer

Video copied to DVD doesn't match project I can see

Okay,
Probably another basic question but I can't find an answer in the Adobe manual. I just discovered (after burning 8 copies of the same file) that the movie on the DVD doesn't match what I see in the Project screen. The dropdown of the Organize>Project looks like what I want to see except that it seems to have the original avi file that I subsequently edited as well as the edited file. The sceneline looks correct. The timeline looks correct. I have tried eliminating the "markers" but there weren't any to eliminate - the menu drop down only gave me the option to add markers. One hint is that the DVD is picking up a menu template that I was playing with but couldn't get to work and then deleted. I ended up using the very basic title screen with black video from the top line Title dropdown menu instead of the Template option in Edit. I can see the new title in scene and timelines. Again, per previous question just posted, I see nothing in the clip screen
(i.e. th boxes) under "organize". Also, the video clip on the DVD appears truncated by approx. half the play time.
At one point I could get only the old menu template clip to show up just below the montor screen but couldn't figure out how to delete.
thx

Camcorder is a Sony Handcam D8 Digital Video, not minidvd. Tape was transferred using Adobe Premiere elements 9 with brand new firewire.
First screen capture below shows only one of two black screen titles upon opening program. Nothing in media boxes. Second Capture shows frame of video clip as a result of double clicking on the third sceneline box. Third screen capture shows what the DVD opens with when played after burning. I have tried to create this from scratch but can't get rid of the fancy menu screen in the third screen capture below. Replaying the movie using the sceneline or timeline prior to burning the DVD doesn't show the "fancy picture frame" with the "play movie" option shown in the dvd playing in the third capture below. Does this help? It seems to be something like an invisible preset that I can't get rid of.
