Image loses contrast when transferring from ACR to PSE11

I have a new PC running Windows 8.1 x64 bit and have reinstalled PSE11 from the CD (previously it was installed on a PC running Vista x32 bit).
Apart from having to go into all my most frequently used sections to re-set the parameters to how I had them before, all seems to be well with one rather irritating exception ...
I get the image looking just about right in ACR, but when I click Open Image to apply a few final tweaks in the PSE11 Editor, the picture seems to lose contrast in the move. With my previous setup, once I was satisfied with the general look of the part-edited image in ACR, it appeared pretty much the same when opened in PSE.
This will have nothing to do with monitor calibration, since the common factor here is the monitor screen. The issue is to do with the general appearance of the image when viewed in ACR as compared with how it then appears in PSE. I have the colour space set as sRGB and the PSE viewing parameters as 'optimised for viewing on computer screens' (I don't do that much printing).
Anyone else experienced this problem? What have I missed or what can I do to rectify things, please?

OSX outputs pdfs at 72dpi if there is any transparency such as shadows, reflections, charts and of course directly specified transparency.
The jpeg is generated from a pdf and is the wrong method of producing an ad, which should remain text/vector to stay sharp, with photographic style images at 300dpi.
jpegs should only be used for purely photographic material because it makes everything else fuzzy.
Your ad should be supplied as a vector pdf. If it has photographic material do not use transparency effects and make sure the images are at least 300dpi at final size.

Appearance of images changes when moving from ACR to PSE11 Editor .. why?

I run Windows 8.1 x64 bit on my new PC and use PSE11 which opens raw files automatically into ACR. Once I've finished editing an image in ACR I then click on 'Open Image' which transfers the part edited file to the PSE11 Editor. Once there I perform a few additional tweaks before cropping, sharpening and saving as a jpeg.
At about the same time as I installed PSE11 onto my new PC I became acutely aware of a change in the appearance of my images as they transferred from ACR to PSE11 Editor. Having performed the basic adjustments in ACR and things are to my liking, the image now opens in PSE11 Editor looking rather washed out by comparison .. less contrast, maybe a little more brightness and a certain degree of reduced colour saturation.
Obviously all images are seen on the same monitor, so any fingers pointing at calibration issues don't count in this instance! I just need to know if there is a fix that will return me to the situation I've always had before, where the part edited ACR image looks the same when it opens in the PSE11 Editor. I have been using PSE in various versions for a number of years and this is the first time that I've experienced this irritating problem.
Help, please!

The colour setting in both Editor and Organiser is: 'Always Optimise Colours for Computer Screens'
I believe this option will select the sRGB colour space by default and that the option 'Always Optimise for Printing' will default the colour space setting to Adobe RGB. Is this so? I only print occasionally (most of my viewing is on the monitor or the TV) but it would be nice to know if the chosen colour space chosen produce this odd effect I'm experiencing (although I sincerely doubt that it's got anything to do with it).
This option will be used by the ACR conversion module to set the colour space of the file imported in the editor. So, you are right, the sRGB colour space is a good choice for you. What's good is that the raw file itself has NO colour space. If you have edited a raw file for sRGB, good. But you can set your editor to 'optimize for print', and you'll get an aRGB version for printing. Worth a try if you have a good printer (mine is an all-in-one with 6 inks and I can see the difference for some subjects).
My camera (EOS 5D MkIII) is always set to sRGB. Is this significant?
No for raw files. That's used only for the in-camera conversion to jpeg. It's a simple tag which is ignored in the ACR conversion process (see above).
The main issue though remains, namely the fact that part edited images look washed out in PSE Editor in spite of looking just fine in ACR a split second earlier, so I'm still looking for a remedy.
Such a difference is often noted when a file with aRGB colour space is seen in a software that believes it's sRGB. Nothing in your worklows seems to explain that.
Do you see a difference when you see the same edited picture in a non colour-managed software? I can't help you more for the moment.

Image loses resolution when converting from pages to jpg

I created an ad for my son's yearbook in Pages. It is 9MB but I need to submit as jpg. The only way I can figure to do that is to convert from Pages to PDF and from PDF to JPEG. However when I do this, it shrinks from 9MB to just over 1MB which is too low rez. Can anyone help? I'm on a deadline. Thanks!!!

I have inherited an ICloud account from one of my employers when transferring from old MacBook Pro to new MacMini and need to separate from this, presumably by setting up a new ICloud account. How do I do this ?

I have inherited an ICloud account from one of my employers when transferring from old MacBook Pro (which belonged to them) to new MacMini and need to separate from this, presumably by setting up a new ICloud account. How do I do this ? And is there any danger, in doing so, that I might delete any of her ICloud information ?

Sign out in System Preferences>iCloud. This will remove any synced data such as Calendars, emails and Contacts from your Mac, but will have no effect on the data on the server - so that other devices logged into it will continue to see the data.

Attribute support when transferring from Java to HTML in CF9

CF beginner.
When transferring from flash to HTML format, is there a way to control attributes which are not accessible through tags (for example HSCROLL and WIDTH in CFTREE)? Seems like going modifying the Ext JS object is the only way (for example using ColdFusion.Grid.getGridObject) as described in CFML reference but this apparently only works for editable objects. Is this the correct approach? Are there other ways of doing this? staying with a non-HTML format is not an option and so any help is greatly appreciated
Disclaimer: just starting with CF and haven't had a chance to try these things in practice.

As TD said... and you could upgrade to iPhoto 9 for $15 from the Mac App Store . Are your captions worth $15?
One thing to note: Upgrading your library from 2005 to the latest iPhoto won't necessarily be without issues either although iPhoto 9 has been out for awhile and most of the bugs should be worked out by now.

My daughter's older Ipod Touch is having a problem with images becoming pixilated when taken from an e-mail and placed into her camera roll. ( She wants to put on Instagram ) Any help?

My daughter's older Ipod Touch is having a problem with images becoming pixilated when taken from an e-mail and placed into her camera roll. ( She wants to put on Instagram ) Any help?

I think that may be a consequence of the email provider she is using. Some services (AOL is one example) inspect and modify email attachments, particularly photos, resulting in reduced resolution compared to the email that was sent.
The iPod does not do this. The resolution of the picture in the email she receives will be identical to what is imported.

Cannot find picture when transferring from Aperture to PSE 11

Cannot find picture when transferring from Aperture to PSE 11
I have an older version of PSE and when I transferred a picture from Aperture to PSE9 it would open PSE9 and show the picture.
I set the Preps in Aperture for PSE 11 and the PSE 11 opens but no picture in the box or photo bin or in the top left "open".
I changed the Aperture setting to the PSE Organizer and the same thing happened Organizer open BUT there was no picture to be found.
In Aperture it shows the file being transferred.
I looked in the PSE 11 preps and file but could not find anything.
The fact that it opens the PSE 11 app tells me it is being recognized but the picture (file) is going somewhere else.
Thanks

Image loses ColorMatrixFilter when zoomed above 2880 pixels

I have a image viewer component that allows the user to zoom
and scroll an image. The user is allowed to invert the image. The
problem I have is that when the user zooms the image so that the
height is above 2880 the image loses its inverted filter and
reverts to viewing the original image. The following is from the
DisplayObect.cacheAsBitmap flex doc.
The cacheAsBitmap property is automatically set to true
whenever you apply a filter to a display object (when its filter
array is not empty), and if a display object has a filter applied
to it, cacheAsBitmap is reported as true for that display object,
even if you set the property to false. If you clear all filters for
a display object, the cacheAsBitmap setting changes to
what it was last set to.
A display object does not use a bitmap even if the
cacheAsBitmap property is set to true and instead renders from
vector data in the following cases:
The bitmap is too large: greater than 2880 pixels in either
direction.
The bitmap fails to allocate (out of memory error).
My relevant section of code for applying the inverted state
to the
image follows:
public function invertImage():void
var matrix:Array = new Array();
matrix = matrix.concat([-1, 0, 0, 0, 255]);
matrix = matrix.concat([ 0, -1, 0, 0, 255]);
matrix = matrix.concat([ 0, 0, -1, 0, 255]);
matrix = matrix.concat([ 0, 0, 0, 1, 0]);
var filter:ColorMatrixFilter = new
ColorMatrixFilter(matrix);
var filters:Array = new Array();
filters.push(filter);
image.filters = filters;
Any suggestions on how I can workaround the 2880 limitation?

Louis, it sounds like you have a few problems to overcome here.
First, Facebook seems to be confused about what size of a picture it wants.
Second, your image is taller than wde (220 x 426), and Facebook wasts the cover image to be wider than tall (851? x 315?). You will have to crop something to make that happen.
How do I zoom out on the image and save it ??
Zooming is irrelevant to what your picture looks like or the size of the picture. Think of a magnifying glass on top of that huge unabridged dictionary in the library. You don't change anything about the dictionary by looking at it through a magnifying glass. You just change how you perceive it.
You need to resample the image. In your case, you need to put more pixels into the photo than currently exist. You might think about creating a different picture that's the right size, or at least has more pixels. By resmpling to incldue more pixels, your photos will becoem "pixelated".

How can I get all of my images to appear when exporting from InDesign (CS2) to a pdf?

Many of my images are disappearing when I try to convert them. I had this same problem last year, but I would just replace the picture (which was a huge pain because there are 24 images per page) and then eventually after a few attempts they would all show up. Any ideas what the problem is?

OS = Operating System for your computer (and the version of the operatiing system, please, like Windows 7 x-64 or Mac OS X 10.8.3).
Patch level is which updates you have installed for your version of ID. CS6 is version 8, and the latest patch is 8.0.1. If you don't know, once you tell us the OS we can tell you how to find out.
Preview mode is accessed from a button at the bottom of the Toolbox, from the View menu, or by pressing W when the text tool is not active. It makes the pasteboard disappear, along with non-printing objects.

In elements 6, certain edited files lose color when transfered to Photomail or Online Gallery. Why is this happening?

Using Elements 6- when editing files in certain applications such as Portrait Proffesional, the edited versions lose their color when transfered to Photomail or Online Gallery. Also, when I use elements 6 e- mail attatchment to e-mail a single file, I get a message that says too much has been taken up. Anyone have any suggestions?

Well here's my workflow. I'm using Firewire external HD for storing Aperture library.
1. Creating Folder with client's name
2. Creating New project with shooting name in the clients folder.
3. importing all RAW files into project. During that process i'm adding all keywords, time adjustment, credits etc....
4. sorting photos, adding ratings (1 - for delete, 4 and 5 - to keep).
5. making smart albums (according to ratings). Deleting all 1 star files.
6. Editing all 5 stars (the one i'll give to the clients). If i'll need to edit it with photoshop, i'll use open in external editor. And keep the final psd file also in the Aperture library.
7. Adding "final version" keyword to all files ready to be send to the client.
8. Making a new smart folder (sorting by "final" keyword)
9. Using internal web publishing - i'm publish them on my .Mac account. Sending the link to the client
10. Using presets exporting tiffs and jpg versions and burning them on DVD for my client.
11. Also - i'll print them using Aperture.
12. Backing up the project - both on DVD and Aperture Vault (using external HD).
13. I'm also backing up Aperture library using TimeMachine (using 3rd external drive).

Why do Images sometimes flip when dragging from bridge into indesign?

Why do Images sometimes flip orientation when dragging from bridge into indesign? Using a mac.

That's what I thought was happening with my coworker as well, but she is simply just dragging and placing the image into an empty area. The file she is working with is one that was converted from quark with an add on, would that have any relation to why this is happening?

Image loses quality when loaded in Java

Images seem to lose quality when you load them in Java. Try this out to see what I mean... test_out.jpg is smaller than test_in.jpg
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.File;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
public class ImageTest
    public static void main (String args [])
        BufferedImage img = ImageIO.read (new File ("test_in.jpg"));
        ImageIO.write (img, "JPG", new File ("test_out.jpg"));
}Is there any way around this? I need to manipulate the image in Java, so I can't just input and output the bytes of the file.

Well, it's basically cutting the file in half... 1.69
MB to 862 KB. Doing the same thing in C# keeps the
file size 1.69 MB (no quality lost), but I want to
use Java because it's easier to manipulate pictures
in Java. 800 KB seems a little extreme...There is a lot of difference between no size loss in a file and "no quality loss". Each time you JPG something, some quality is lost even it the size of the file that results is the same as before--it's in the JPS algorithm for comprssion.

BT Keyboard Loses Connection When Waking from Sleep Mode

I'm running Windows 7 on a late 2009 27" iMac and my Bluetooth keyboard keeps loses connection when I wake my computer from sleep mode. Usually the only way I can get it back is my resetting. Anyone know of a way to fix this? Any help would be great appreciated.

If the MBP doesn't wake when you open the lid but does when you press any key afterward, do this:
Applications > Utilities > Terminal
Copy and paste the following text in the Terminal window:
*sudo pmset lidwake 1*
You'll be asked for your admin password. Type that in (Note: the password will not be displayed as you do so). Press Return, and quit the Terminal. Close the MBP, wait for it to sleep, and open it again. Does it wake now?
If you want to change it back so the system doesn't wake when you open the lid, repeat the procedure, but this time type or paste:
*sudo pmset lidwake 0*

Image Change When Transferred from Lightroom to PS (?Camera Profile)

I am having difficulty that I think is related to Camera RAW that I hope I can get some help with.
I updated to v7.2 today, but I think the problem started today before the update. I get the image looking great in Lightroom and then either send to Edit in PS or to Open as Smart Object in PS (it doesn't matter, same results) and the image looks awful. If I open the smart object in PS it opens in Camera RAW and when I look at all the Camera RAW settings they are all exactly the same as the Lightroom 4.2 settings until I get down to the camera calibration settings. In Lightroom it is set to Process 2012 with Adobe Standard as the profile. In Camera RAW it is Process 2012 but the profile is simply listed as 'Matrix' with no other choices available in the drop down. In Lightroom, Adobe Standard and all the camera profiles are available for what I am shooting with, a Canon 5D MKII which I have used for years. As recently as a day or two ago I did not have this problem (though I never looked to see what the Camera Raw profile was when it was coming over to PS correctly), though I suspect it may be the source of the problem since all the other settings are identical
Any help would be very appreciated as I can no longer work with images until this is corrected.
Thanks very much,
Howard

Perhaps this is a clue to the problem? If I go to Program Data>Adobe>Camera RAW> Camera Profiles > there is a folder called Camera and another Adobe Standard. Within the Adobe Standard Folder are Adobe Standard files for multiple cameras including the Canon 5D MKIII, but inexplicably there is not one for the MKII. Likewise, the Camera folder contains folders labeled with different cameras. There is a folder for the Canon 5D MKIII that contains the profiles (neutral, landscape etc) but there is NO folder for the 5d MKII. What gives here? Is this the problem? If so how does one fix it?
