Images opened in CS2, Bridge or Lightroom have bands of different colors

RAW images opened in CS2, Bridge or Lightroom have bands of different colors depending on the image and are unusable. Running Windows Vista 32 on Dell Desktop 531 w/2g of ram. Have been searching but haven't found a solution. I have not called Adobe yet.
Lightroom stopped running on Vista 32 windows error message says "Lightroom has stopped running windows is searching for a solution to the problem". At the same time Lightroom works fine on my laptop running Vista 32.

Are you looking at the images at 100% resolution? Banding can appear in other enlargements due to rounding errors.

  • How do i have tabs in different colors?

    I want to have my tabs show in different colors - how do i do this?

    I don't know whether a theme would have this feature, or whether an add-on might be required...
    Out of curiosity, how would it help you to have the tabs be different colors? Would you want the pages on the same site to have their tabs the same color as one another, or every tab different?

  • MetaData import from Photoshop CS2 Bridge to Lightroom??

    Dear all,
    I have 2 questions.
    1) I am trying to figure out whether Metadata import from Bridge to LR will be supported?
    2) I am not satisfied with Bridge as a Data Asset Management tool and due to an urgent project have to organize all of my >250 Giga data. ASAP. Any suggestions for a workaround until LR is released for purchase?
    Thanks in advance,
    Siana

    1. Yes
    2. Can't help with that, sorry.

  • Lightroom won't open an image in Photoshop CS2

    I have Photoshop 1.1 on a PC running Windows XP. I can't open a Lightroom image in Photoshop CS2 through the "photo" menu because the menu selection to open an image in Photoshop is dimmed. Also in "Preferences" in the "external editors" tab it says "Photoshop not found." My Photoshop is on the same drive as Lightroom. Am I wrong in assuming LR should open an image in CS2?
    In a related matter I opened a Photoshop customer support case about this, but did not receive a reply. Is this typical of Adobe? Isn't this the kind of question they should answer even without a paid support plan?

    Richard,
    What I did when faced with a similar situation was to go to Control Panel, and select Add or Remove Programs, then select Uninstall or Change for Adobe Photoshop CS2, then when prompted whether to Uninstall or Repair, choose Repair. This will fixup all the registry entries that appare to be missing from your system.
    Works for me at least.

  • Why does paintbrush not work on images opened from Bridge?

    This problem may be due to another cause but the most common occurance is when an image is opened from Bridge so I've posted it here.  Here are the details.
    I have had tons of problems with CS4 on my desktop PC but seem to have most of them resolved with a new video card, updated driver  and help from an earlier thread.  In fact, I thought all problems solved but this one has persisted.  If it matters I'm running Windows XP service pack 3, 4gb of RAM of which 3.4 is available.  It has an 2.67 GHz Intel Core2Duo cpu.
    If I open CS4 and open an image, all paintbrush tools (paintbrush itself, clone tool, healing tools, etc) work fine.  Sometimes I can work for hours with no problems.  Other times these tools simply stop working.   When this happens seems random.  For example, the other day as long as I did not send anything to print, all worked fine but after printing a few images the tools stopped.  Other times I've printed and the tools still worked.  Sometimes if I open images direct in Photoshop using file -> open, all is well but as soon as I launch an image from Bridge, tools don't work.  Other times launching from Bridge works fine, BUT more often than not, it seems to occur after launching from Bridge, hence the post here as I already noted.  I've tried to trace down a common set of circumstances but it is too erratic.
    What is interesting also is that the use of the tool shows up in the history panel as a step taken.  There just is no visible effect on the image.  This problem has been present since CS4 was originally installed along with several other problems.  In the course of attempting to solve them all, I have deleted preferences and allowed them to rebuild, I have actually uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop multiple times. 
    More confounding is that CS4 works fine on a clunky old laptop with less RAM and a much, much older video card.  I also, as a test, ran the 30 day trial on the computer I'm using here.  It too is older and less RAM and that worked fine too.  So it seems to be saying there is something wrong with the computer used for photo editing or the video card.  Don't think it's the card.  I bought a new one.  It didn't solve any problems so I bought another and it corrected many of the other issues I was having.  Indeed after installing the latest drivers for this card, absolutely everything worked perfectly for almost two days but now this paintbrush tool issue is back. 
    So what the heck can be going on that is cumulative or is there a hardware component that is erratic or have I missed something in CS4?  Man I love the power of the program and the improvements since CS3 but if I have to shut it down and restart it every single image, clearly that is not feasible.
    Many thanks for any help.

    Well, now I'm an idiot.  I fired up without the tablet plugged in and
    paintbrush worked fine on all files.  I then left the image open I had just
    painted on, plugged in the tablet with pc still running, no paintbrush
    function using tablet mouse.  Without unplugging the tablet I again tried
    the regular mouse and paintbrush worked fine.  So it's not a matter of any
    sort of conflict with the tablet being active, it sure looks like a tablet
    malfunction.  It still mystifies my how this tablet is so smart it can tell
    the difference between psd and jpg but there it is...can't argue with
    results.  Still, one last thing confounds me and that is the tablet works
    fine on all file types in CS3 and every other app I have.  If there was a
    malfunction with the tablet, wouldn't you think it would misbehave on all
    apps?  Could it be that the tablet needs a new driver?  You must've had a
    clue to recommend this course of action.  Now that we're here, what do you
    suggest or should that be another thread?
    By the way, if it matters I had already upgraded vc drivers and CS to 11.0.1
    before this started.

  • I am unable to get same preview image colors in Bridge and Lightroom

    I am unable to get same file preview in Bridge and Lightroom. The Lightroom preview image (in both the Library and Develop) is more de-saturated. But the exported/saved jpegs match. If I try to match the Lightroom preview image to the Bridge preview image, the resulting Lightroom  export colors are off. I have tried this with images with no changes and with changes and the result is the same. I have Lightroom 5.6 and CR 8.6. I am using the latest version of Bridge.
    I contacted Adobe support and followed all instructions to try to fix but the problem remains. This comment was made after several solutions were tried, including updating Lightroom. :
    Adobe: there would be little difference in case of preview of Bridge CC and Lightroom 5. However, after exporting it would be same. Both use different technology at the background and work in a different way. The preview which you see in lightroom is not the actual image but incase of Bridge you see the actual image ( original ). That's the reason there is a color variation between previews.
    Me: But how can I then use the Lightroom preview to get accurate colors when processing a RAW file? If I do adjustments to the RAW file in Lightroom it looks different when exported. That doesn't seem to make sense when Lightroom is designed for photograhy
    Adobe: Please check in develop module of lightroom.
    Me: Nothing changes in the develop mode. The image looks the same as in the preview/Library mode.
    This screenshot shows the unmodified images in Develop (Lightroom) and ACR (Bridge). The color differences are significant.
    Lightroom exported jpeg file, unmodified from preview image in Develop (which looks like Bridge preview image not the Lightroom preview)
    Bridge saved jpeg file, unmodified from preview image in ACR
    Any suggestions on what I need to do to Lightroom to make it show accurate colors. If not, I don't see any point in using it to process files.
    Thanks, Marie

    Bridge is just a browser. It displays according to the embedded color profile but assumes sRGB for all untagged images.
    In Lightroom library previews use Adobe RGB and in Develop the working space is Pro Photo RGB.
    The real question is why use both Bridge and Lightroom. Stick to one, not both.

  • Bridge can't open file to edit in Lightroom?

    Dear All,
    Recently I have installed Lightroom 1.1 in my iMac. I like to browse photos using Bridge coz I do not have to import my photos like Lightroom does. When I want to edit the photo(s), I will 'right' click on the photo (in Bridge) and I can choose which application I want to edit the photo with. However, I can only see Photoshop and Capture NX but not Lightroom?
    I thought Bridge, Photoshop and Lightroom are from Adobe and should able to edit photos between these softwares?
    Or I have missed some configurations in Bridge or Lightroom to enable this function?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    chityc.

    Hi Jeff,
    I am using Mac and your suggestion would help but it would be more convenient if I am allow to choose from the 'right' click on my mouse. Really funny coz I can see/choose whether to open even with Nikon Capture NX and not Lightroom.
    My 'right' click is with my Mighty Mouse :) And I do not know any script for Bridge.

  • Edit in photoshop image opens without Lightroom adjustments.

    Images  opened edit in in photoshop do not have the auto adjustment  made in Lightroom but brush adjustments made do appear,  When i close the picture in Photoshop and open it for a second time all the adjustments are there.
    also the same thing happens to some of my exported images.  I have removed and reinstalled both Photoshop CC 2014 and Lightroom 5 also on the cloud..
    Pulling my hair our here trying to find an answer to this problem

  • Images look fine in Bridge, but way off when opened in Photoshop

    Not sure what I've done to my system, but am now having some color-management woes. I am using Photoshop and Bridge CS5.1, and for some reason, the color-management is not consistent between Bridge and PS... although it used to be until just recently. I am on a Mac Pro tower with a properly calibrated monitor (using an Eye One Pro), and all my other color-managed applications are behaving just fine, but I have this discrepancy now within Adobe where if I view an image in Bridge, it looks correct, but when I open that same image in Photoshop, it comes up way too light and desaturated. I have verified that a correct profile is embeded in each image, but this happens regardless of the source file. I have opened up grayscale images with a dot gain or gamma profile embedded, images with no profile embedded, sRGB and Adobe 1998 profiled images, and they all open up too bright. It seems like some kind of conversion must be happening, but I can't understand what that would be. Color Settings is set to preserve embedded and ask when opening for mismatches, but that's the same as it's always been on my system. I understand without a "suite" install, I cannot access the Creative Suite Color Settings dialog to sync color across multiple Adobe apps, but things have been fine for years between my PS & Bridge, so clearly I've done something wrong. It's also worth noting that RAW images in Bridge open up looking identical in the Photoshop RAW processing dialog, so somehow this is more related to TIFF, PSD & JPEG files.
    I have used the Cocktail app for general system maintenance on my Mac, and in the dialog to delete old cahce files, I do recall it had an option to clear Color Sync cache (along with a bunch of other caches), so maybe that "clean up" somehow dirsupted my color matching abilities?
    I was on CS5 when I noticed this problem, so I tried uninstalling that, downloading the slightly newer CS5.1 and re-installing, but the problem persists. Maybe the uninstaller app doesn't get rid of all the hidden support files, or maybe this is something else entirely? Have trashed prefs files and relaunched, still same problem.
    Note how image on right is much lighter, shadows start to look posterized, colors lose saturation. Left is Bridge and Right is Photoshop. Screenshot done on calibrated monitor.
    Thanks for any suggestions!

    Thanks for your reply. Screenshot of my Color Settings attached. These are the same settings I've been using for many years.
    What's most interesting is your reminder to look at Soft Proofing. I normally only use that when prepping an image for print, and want to predict what different paper types will "do" to my image.,, i.e. matte paper has less d-max, etc. SO, My assumption was that Soft Proofing is normally in the OFF position unless I turn it on, and/or toggle it on-off with Cmd-Y keyboard shortcut one engaged. BUT, your assessment was spot-on, in that when I opened up the View > Proof Colors dialog, it was set to Working CMYK. Not sure why, how, or when that became the default.
    In all my time years with Photoshop, I've never needed to worry about soft proofing being ON without my permission, so I'm unclear how this came about. I honestly don't even know what the default has been for all the time that this was not on my radar as being a problem, I only know that when I did opt to soft proof an image, I woulp open the Proof Colors dialog, choose the appropriate device-specific paper profile to simulate, and then turn it back off when done. It would make sense to me that the default display in PS should match the (hopefully calibrated) monitor as a starting point.
    Several more screenshots below, experimenting with various Proof conditions. This one is a 16-bit Grayscale image, with my usual 1.8 Gray Gamma color space embedded. This was my first experiment, not knowing what the correct default should have been (or was for many years). My assumption was that proofing the same color space as the document (G 1.8 = G 1.8), there should be no visible difference, but in fact there is. The left image is open in PS being soft proofed to it's own G 1.8 color space, and it appears visibly brighter than the same image to the right in Bridge. 
    Now here's the same comparison, with Proofing set to G 2.2, which should be wrong, but visually looks like a much better match.
    Next I tried a color image, with Document Profile as the proof condition. Again, the Bridge image on the right looks correct, the PS image on the left looks washed out by comparison.
    Here is the same image comparison, now with Monitor RGB enabled (which pulls my current monitor profile as the device to simuulate). I'd say this is either perfect, or a much better match. This also makes sense and correlates to my suspicion that PS should be showing you things in your native monitor profile until you ask it to do otherwise with a custom soft-proofing scenario.
    So now that I think I've figured it out, I leave the Monitor RGB as the device to simulate, close the image, and re-open the image just to be sure, and this is what I get...
    Essentially back to the same problem. I verified that View > Proof Colors is still set to my Monitor RGB, but it's as if it's not really being applied. SO, I changed it so something else, and then changed it back, and then it looks correct... as if I somehow need to kick it and remind it to do what it's already set to do.
    So, the short answer is THANK YOU for reminding me to look at the proofing setup, becasue no I at least have a kind of workaround and know where to look. The tricker part is to understand why the default doesn't really stick to the Monitor RGB (if that is even the correct place for it to stay set to), and how or why did i get off into Working CMYK in the first place, as that's not a setting I've ever used on purpose.
    Thanks again,
    Eric

  • Lightroom 2.5 and 2.6 crash when I open Photoshop CS2

    We are running XP Pro  and on one machine everytime we open Photoshop CS2 with LR2.5 or 2.6 running, Lightrrom will crash - everytime.
    I have updated video drivers, updated Lightroom, cleaned the registry, optimized the catalog, defragged everything, I have over 200 gig free space on all drives, 4 gig ram, and reseated all cards in the PC.
    All I have to do is open Photoshop and if Lightroon is running, it will crash within a minute or two. Any help?

    Look in windows reliability History for the Photoshop Crash and double click on it to see what is crashing within Photoshop.

  • Why can't I see the Lightroom Presets in the Develp Module without having an image open?

    Why can't I see the Lightroom Presets in the Develp Module without having an image open?

    If it's in the Spam mailbox, then Spam Mailbox would show there.
    In my example above, I'm looking in the Sent Mailbox as a whole (main mailbox, not the subfolder account) and it's showing the account I sent from. If I had sent messages from my other accounts, it would show those also. The only purpose of showing the mailbox in the message list is to know which of your accounts it's to or from when you have multiple accounts. If you only have one mail account, then it provides no use to have Mailbox shown in the message list.
    When you are looking at the Sent Mail, then the message list shows the person who it was sent to.
    All other mailboxes show the person who the message was sent from in the list.
    Unless you're moving recieved mail and sent mail to a common mailbox, then it's not a big deal.
    Maybe Apple will change it in the future to show the actual Fields in the message list.

  • How do I find images in LR 2.4 (imported from CS4 Bridge) that have color labels already assigned In CS4 Bridge? I have set both Bridge and LR color labels text to match (eg Green for green, etc).

    How do you find images in LR 2.4 that have been imported from CS4 Bridge and have been assigned a color label in Bridge?  I have set both LR 2.4 and my CS4 Bridge to match the text for each color to be the same (eg. Green for green, etc), and the filter search in LR 2.4 shows that a label has been assigned, but I am unable to identify and locate the specific images in LR 2.4 that have had a color label assigned from CS4 Bridge.  I have tried to search via attribute, metadata, text, etc...Is it necessary to re-assign color labels all over again, image by image, in LR 2.4, or is there a way to automatically have the color labels assigned in CS4 Bridge be assigned and searchable to the images after they have been imported into the LR 2.4 catalogue from the Bridge program?

    JohnM.
    I closed both programs and re-imported photos and re-tried the action of having LR  read the XMP metadata from the CS4 files, and it seems to work now just fine...don't know why now and not before, but thanks much. Is there a way to have LR do this automatically upon import of images from CS4?  I tried to do this with an import metadata preset, but no luck.  It seems as if I can only do this once the images have already been imported into LR, and then to have to have LR read the metadata from the CS4 Bridge files.  thanks gain.
