Image wont save as it looks in photoshop.

I'm a pretty amateur user of photoshop, but I've been having this problem with an image I'm working on; it wont save as it looks in photoshop.
Basically, this is what I'm looking at when the psd file is open in Photoshop:
This is how I would like the image to look when I save it. However, when I save it as a JPEG (or any other format for that matter) it looks like this:
The saved image is a JPEG file with a resolution of 500x500, the image I'm working with in photoshop has an image size of 7000x7000. Also, the image seems to produce different results when saved at different resolutions. It's very confusing.
Here is my layers also:
I am also using a Halftone filter set to subtract on this image, giving the image the lines across the image (shown here as layer 1).
Anyone have any idea why this is happening and/or what I'm doing wrong?

There's no reason an image should be downsampled upon saving (from 7000 to 500 pixels), unless you specifically tell it to using the Image Size dialog. The only exception I can think of is if you use Save For Web, which has a number of default settings you should keep an eye on. But a 7000 pixel image has no business on the web anyway (that's w a y too big).
Resampling will obviously affect an image like this (with the line screen) in a number of ways. You should only work on this at the final intended pixel size.

Why are my images so washed out in pages compared to how they look in Photoshop?

I am new to Pages. I have some beautiful .jpeg CMYK files I am importing into a Pages template, and they look completely washed out in pages compared to how they look in Photoshop. Is this just a preview mode or will they look this bad if I print the file at a print on demand site like HP Magcloud?
Thanks!

Hmmmmm...
Well, I'm not sure about what my color management is set to in photoshop, but its color LCD for the mac in system preferences. As the printer is a print on demand site its not so easy to run tests. The thing is, they want the images as a PDF, but I am loosing quality pringing it into pages, would it be different if i created the PDF directly from photoshop (is that even possible?)
paper options are:
60#, 80# or 100# matte text stock options with Saddle Stitch Binding
80# premium cover stock, 80# matte text stock with Perfect Binding
the site says this:
If you are creating your PDF in a different program like Microsoft Word or Publisher, or Apple Pages, you’ll want to save your images based on whether they were CMYK or RGB to begin with. If they were CMYK to begin with, they should be saved as CMYK. If they were RGB to begin with, saving them with an sRGB colorspace will give you the best output.
I already changed them in photoshop from RGB to CMYK, is it too late to change back? where is the sRGB option anyway?
Thanks,

TS3276 Having trouble sending jpeg images as attachments in Mac email.....they go thru as images and PC users can't see the SAVE or QUICK LOOK boxes that Mac mail has. One friend scrolled over the image, right clicked on it and saved as a PNG file.

Apple Mail isn't going to change the format of any of your attachments. it isn't going to corrupt them either.
Exchange is a transport protocol and server. The issue you describe is not related to Exchange.
There are many different versions of Microsoft Outlook in use and they all have e-mail bugs. Different versions have different bugs. Some Apple Mail hack to get around a bug in Outlook 2003 may cause the same message to be problematic in Outlook 2000. Fix them both and another issue will cause trouble in Outlook 2007. You can't fix this. Apple can't fix this. Microsoft can and has but that is irrelevant if your recipients are using older versions.
One specific problem is that Apple Mail always sends image attachments inline, as images, not as iconized files. You can change this with Attachment Tamer. Just be aware that use of this software will break other things such as Stationery. E-mail is just a disaster. To date, no one outside of Apple has ever implemented the e-mail standards from 1993. Apple has continually changed its e-mail software to be more compatible with the de-facto standards that Netscape and Microsoft have unilaterally defined and people documented as "standards" after the fact. The e-mail messages that Apple Mail sends are 100% correct and do not violate any of the original standards from 1993 or the Microsoft/Netscape modifications. The problem is entirely bugs and limitations in various versions of Outlook.

Just go back in photoshop and use the Slice Select tool, then just click and select the slice and hit delete - if you're not sure which one is the active slice just right click and find the one that has the Delete Slice option.
It's possible you either added the slices by accident or if you received it from someone they just had the slices hidden. For the future, you can go to View > Show > Slices to display (or hide) slices.

Photoshop wont "Save for Web"

Ever since I installed CC on my vanilla MacMini (Late 2014) running OS X 10.10.1, I haven't been able to use the "Save for Web" feature in Photoshop (2014.2.2 Release, 20141204.r.310 x64) anymore. I keep getting an error message saying "The operation could not be completed. The file or directory could not be found."
Google and the forums have unfortunately only come up with people having similar problems, but not with any solutions. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I seem to have skipped your earlier response.
I've been on OS X 10.10.2 for a couple of days now. Pretty much since it was released.
Here's the contents of my ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 Settings directory:
Seems like the file is missing and PS can't write in there for one reason or another. These are the permission settings on the folder:
Turns out, my initial idea wasn't the worst: I now transferred the entire ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 Settings directory from my tmp-admin user to my actual user. Lo and behold – tataaa – sure enough, there was a Save For Web Prefs.psp file in there. And after starting PS, I can now SFW again.
This issue is worked around, but I am still puzzled and a bit annoyed by the fact, that there doesn't seem to be any real explanation, why on earth that problem happened in the first place and what might still be running differently than it should.
For reference …
The contents of the imported settings-directory (permissions: drwxr-xr-x 20 r8r staff) look as follows:
The contents of the original directory (permissions: drwxrwxr-x 17 r8r staff) like this:
Beats me.
Anyways – thanks a lot for the assistance, and if you have any further ideas on how to get to the root of the problem, I'd be happy to hear about it!

Photoshop wont save actions, I create,

my hard drive was just replaced and the data and applications were all transferred over, now photoshop wont save new actions or presets I create, it says I dont have permission. Not sure what to do, I dont really want to have to reinstall everything if there is a quick fix.

okay so thanks to everyone for your help between this information and some other I found online I got it sorted, my library folder wasnt showing up, I have just also recently upgraded to maverick os, so the library folder show up you need to unhide it, this was a great source telling me how to do that http://www.macworld.com/article/2057221/how-to-view-the-library-folder-in-mavericks.html
then I just went into the user/library/adobe cs5 settings/ and changed the preferences so I was the owner of that folder.

How does one access their images in their libraries in Desktop Adobe Photoshop that are connected to their Mobile Adobe Shape?

So
I have Adobe Shape on my iphone, and in my Creative Cloud on the web it can access the images ive made. BUT, these images wont show up in my library on Photoshop on my computer and i cant seem to save them from the creative cloud on the web.
How does one get from A to B?
Thankyou

Hi Victoria and welcome to the forum.
I had to Google Shape but it looks interesting, and dies use the CC Libraries. I am a big fan of CC Libraries, but have only used them between apps on the same machine. So it is just a matter of see how they work between different systems
Illustrator Help | Creative Cloud libraries - collaborate, sync, and share assets
In my experience, I simply drag an asset onto the Library in one app, and it is there in my other apps. But I have to make sure I am looking at the same library name on both computers. Now I have been confused over syncing before, but I suspect that if you open the Application Manager and click on the little Cog icon, and in the Files tab make sure Sync is checked. Otherwise you might as well read the help files.

Help!!! Flash CS3 and CS4 wont save .gifs

Ok, so im trying to save my project as a .gif and it just wont save it right, it marks as if it has already been saved, but when i open the .gif it just displays the first frame.......any help? Am i doing something wrong???? the actual file that im saving is a small animation, with 1 sec of animation, 10 frames, and its appx. 100 x 100 pixels I thought it was the size, but it was not. Any help plz?????
Note, it does saves it right in .swf but not on .gif

Those links, did helped me, but that didnt correct the problems that i was getting.
Here is the thing, at least this is how it worked for me.
I was editing the original picture on fireworks, and saw that instead of layers, it was creating bitmap images, saved it as fireworks pdn and imported to flash, and when i finish it didnt save the gif.
I instead opened the original on photoshop, and it created layers instead bitmap, saved it as a photoshop image, opened it on flash, worked on it, and well, guess what??? it did saved it as a gif!!!!!
So wierd, but, why won't it save it from the fireworks one into a gif, and the photoshop one worked good?
It didnt helped me alot mate, but i still thank you for reading this post bro, thanks, and have a nice day ^_^

AppleScript to resize images and save with new name

I want to make an apple script, which resizes all images of a folder regardless what kind of filetype.
The source folder will change every day.
With the script i want to choose a source Folder, resize all images and save the files with my jpeg options in the same folder, but with adding „_ipad“ in the filename.
I tried to edit an existing script from this forum, but in Photoshop 5.1 i get the error-message "This function is possibly not available in this Version" in line 18 "save in file newFileName as JPEG with options myOptions"
How can i save the documents with new name in the existing folder?
Thanks.
This is the script i’m working with:
set inputFolder to choose folder with prompt "Wähle einen Ordner:"
--set destinationFolder to choose folder with prompt "Wähle einen Zielordner" as string
tell application "Finder"
          set filesList to (files of entire contents of inputFolder) as alias list
end tell
tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS5.1"
          set UserPrefs to properties of settings
          set ruler units of settings to pixel units
          repeat with aFile in filesList
open aFile showing dialogs never
                    set docRef to the current document
                    tell docRef
                              set newFileName to my getBaseName(name)

                              set myOptions to {class:JPEG save options, embed color profile:true, quality:12, format options:progressive, scans:3}
save in file newFileName as JPEG with options myOptions
                    end tell
close the current document saving no
          end repeat
          set ruler units of settings to ruler units of UserPrefs
end tell
on getBaseName(fName)
          set baseName to fName
          repeat with idx from 1 to (length of fName)
                    if (item idx of fName = ".") then
                              set baseName to (items 1 thru (idx - 1) of fName) as string
                              exit repeat
                    end if
          end repeat
          return baseName
end getBaseName

This seems like a Photoshop error not an AppleScript one. Have you looked in the Photoshop dictionary to see if the command you are getting the error on exists and if it has those options?
If all you want to do is resize image files and save the resized image file you might want to look at Automator. Specifically the Scale Image action under Photos.

JPG images not displayed correctly in Bridge and Photoshop (Mac OS)

(Note: I have copied the content of this query from the Creative Suites forum where I originally opened it.)
I am using CS4 under OSX 10.4.11 on a PowerMac G5 Quad with 23" Apple cinema display. Images which have been captured as JPG are displayed fine by Preview, but when opened in Bridge, Camera Raw or Photoshop. the colours are all "washed out". The attached screen capture should give an idea of the difference, with the upper being Camera Raw (image settings) and the lower being Preview. My monitor has been calibrated and I'm using sRGB IEC61966-2.1 colour space in Camera Raw and Photoshop. The colours displayed by Preview are pretty close to "real life". I find it virtually impossible to adjust the colours in Photoshop to get back to anything similar.
After opening the image in Photoshop without adjustment, and Save As JPEG with embedded color profile, Preview displays the new image the same as Photoshop. Save As JPEG without embedded color profile, and Preview displays this copy just like the original. It seems that Photoshop is making different (incorrect) assumptions about what color space to use when there is no embedded color profile. Shouldn't it assume sRGB like virtually everything else (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SRGB)? Or is its interpretation of sRGB incorrect? How can I fix this?

…If there is someone out there who has experience of obtaining decent colour management in CS4 on a Power PC, I would really like to know how you achieved it.
That would be yours truly, and I hasten to reply because I may have some insights that can help you too.
Just get it it out of the way, here's my setup:
Photoshop 11.0.2 ("CS4"); VersionCue disabled and uninstalled.—2.5 GHz Power Mac (PPC) G5-Quad; 16GB RAM; mutant, flashed 550MHz nVidia GeForce 7800GTX 1,700MHz 512MB VRAM; ATTO ExpressPCI UL5D LP SCSI card; Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.11 and Leopard 10.5.8 boot drives; Spotblight, Dashboard and Time Machine permanently disabled; dual 22" CRT monitors; USB wireless 'n' available but connected to the Internet via wired Ethernet; 1 FW flatbed scanner; 2 SCSI scanners (one tabloid-size transparency scanner and a film scanner); various internal & external HDs; FW Epson 2200 and Ethernet Samsung ML-2850ND printers; 2 X Back-UPS RS 1500 XS units.
I can unambiguously and in good faith represent to you that my color management, from capture to print, is as spot-on as anyone with any kind of setup can hope to achieve. Unequivocally and without qualifications.
Now, first things first: Forget about trying to synchronize color management across the point applications lumped together only by Adobe marketing fiat into a variety of meaningless "creative suites". Concentrate on Photoshop. Do not try to use Bridge to synchronize anything.
The "suites" are a totally artificial construct created by Adobe bean counters and marketing types. The point applications (i.e. the individual programs clumsily bundled together, e.g. Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, etc.) are developed independently by separate engineering teams that are not only not in the same building, but in different cities, different states of the American Union, and even in different countries. They have very little communication among them, if any, as evidenced by repeated posts in these forums by Photoshop engineering staff urging us, the end users, to let the other teams know in their own forums that a given problem exists and is actually affecting our work.
Enough said about the cause of the problem. The end result is that Color Management is at very, very different levels of progress and sophistication in each individual point application, with only Photoshop fully entitled to be considered state of the art.
Secondly, a disclaimer: I have been hanging on to my CRT monitors and take care of them as Jascha Heifetz used to take care of his Stradivarius. I don't know what I will do if I manage to outlive the usefulness and accuracy of my CRTs (unlikely at this point). I have despaired in futile efforts to bring the luminosity of any LCD monitor down to where I would feel comfortable calibrating and profiling it. I believe my monitors are the foundation of my color management efforts.
Especially if you have one of the extreme wide-gamut LCD or LED monitors, you'll face an uphill battle.
Be careful to avoid any version 4 icc profiles, whether canned or generated by your calibration software. Stick to version2 icc profiles. Ask the manufacturer of your calibration software/hardware if in doubt.
Here are some not-too-recent, but thoroughly representative screen shots of the calibration results I obtain with my monitors, which I calibrate and profile often and regularly (I validate the calibration at least several times per month).
In a nutshell, my color management practices and settings mirror those described by Bruce Fraser, Jeff Schewe, Andrew Rodney and Gary Ballard's site. I have learned from all of them.
My working color space is ProPhoto RGB. I choose to work with PSD and PSB files. As a long-time, rabid JPEG hater, I only rarely deal with JPEGs, using them sporadically to illustrate a point in this forum or elsewhere in the web. My main output consists of prints.
I only deal with tagged image files (files with an embedded color profile) and often recommend beating up with a baseball bat any moron that hands you an untagged file—figuratively of course, but I find the expression gets my point across unambiguously.
Following is a screen shot of some of my pertinent settings:
Note that I have never bought into the "suite" concept myself. I do have and routinely use Adobe Illustrator 10.x, InDesign 2.x and Acrobat Professional 8.x, but they are all older, independent versions of each point application, licensed at different times.
Be further advised, that the answer to many problems offered by Adobe engineers often is not to install VersionCue, or uninstall it, or at least disable it.
Also, as outlined at the beginning of this post, concentrate on Photoshop, not on synchronizing applications that can't really communicate with each other, despite the claims of Adobe marketing hacks to the contrary.
One big caveat, do not fall into this trap:

You either want to learn, or you don't. You either want to solve your problems, or you don't.
When you start arguing instead of studying, questioning advice instead of following it and detecting where you went wrong, you're on the right track to nowhere. That attitude will get you there fast. Remember you are the one with the problem, and only you can acquire the discipline to learn how to solve it.
Go ahead and ask me anything that is not clear, just don't argue with me please, and don't tell me why you think Fraser, Rodney, Ballard and I are wrong. You see, I am not experiencing any problem that needs fixing. I have an interest in helping you, but not in hearing about your speculations, theories or conclusions.
Good luck.

Cannot open Raw images taken with a Nikon 5200 in photoshop cc

i am trying to open raw images taken with a Nikon 5200 in Photoshop cc but it says that camera model is not supported. I looked at the Raw plugin version. It is 7.0.0.0.3. In support it said the minimum version is 7.3. I have downloaded the DNG Converter with camera raw 7.3. But it is still say i have version 7.0.0.0.3. Anyone know what to do?

If the plug-in version is 7.something then you're running Photoshop CS6 since Photoshop CC ships with Camera Raw 8.0 out of the box. Latest version is Camera Raw 8.4.
The Nikon D5200 has been supported since Camera Raw 7.3 so you can either update CS6 to Camera Raw 7.4 (In Photoshop CS6, Help > Updates) or use Photoshop CC which supports the D5200 out of the box.

How do I take an object from an image and save it so I can use it in other images?

I am trying to figure out how to take an object from an image and save it so I can re-use it again in other pictures? I know how to use the magic wand to select the object and place it in a blank image.... but I do not know how to re size the selected object or keep it for later use. Basically I would like to use the object the same way that I use the graphics ... so I guess I am wondering if there is a way that I can make my own graphics... I have Elements Photoshop 13. Thanks for any help/advice.... Jerrie

Hi Jerrie,
You can re-size using Transformation tool. Ctrl + T will give you a box to re-size the image or object.
You can save these object as PNG file with Transparent layer. You can use these objects later in another projects.

Unsupported Image Format after opening a file in Photoshop.

As from today,I am getting an unsupported Image Format after opening a file in Photoshop. I have made nothing more than as crop on the image. Why?

Ernie, I misread your post indeed. I never saw a option to send RAW files to an external editor. All I can see is the option to chose what editor and then specify if PSD or TIFF is used. I always use PSD, usually 16bit and in one other installation in 8bit (due to RAM restrictions there).
So Aperture creates the PSD version and PS edits that very version and saves it back into aperture. This is where I sometimes () get that "unsupported image" problem.
I think this also is what Mike does: select a RAW master, use an external editor -> Aperture creates a PSD or TIFF. I haven't tried the TIFF option , though.
My main point was: it all worked for a very long time and with the latest updates it is broken.
have a good day.

Illustrator CS4 wont save files, please help?

You can edit a file, go to save, close it down, then when you re-open it the changes made have not been saved?? No error message or warning pops up, and it all looks ok like it has saved properly, until you open it up again. This also happens when you use 'save as' command if you use the original file name. If however you type in a different file name - it saves ok. But obviously that is not great as you cant now trust or rely on the save mechanism of the programme, to make sure any changes to artwork have been stored!! I have never seen an issue like this, it is worrying, I hope somebody can help?
Thanks.
We are running CS4 on windows7 - yes PC!!!

We save in EPS, and its not just one file, its a variety of different files and it seems to be random as to which files it does it on, some work fine - some don't. And it can be anything from a minor text change to a colour change, it doesnt seem to matter on the change made, it reacts the same.
The files are saved over a network connection to a large external hard drive.
Its really puzzling and now starting to cause problems as we do a fair bit of work in it, and can't trust one of the most important features, and that any changes that have been done have been saved and stored!
Hope maybe you can help with any thoughts at all.
Cheers.
