Images saved from Mobile Safari are significantly degraded

When I tried to use an image saved from Mobile Safari as my wallpaper I noticed that it looked horrible. It was blurry and more importantly the dynamic range of the image had been compressed, blowing out all the detail in the bright areas of the image and making it contrastier. This is especially bad on the type of photo I was trying to use, a high-key image, where most of the detail is in the light tones. Much of the image was simply displayed as blank white.
As a test I tried emailing the image I had saved into Photos to myself and compared it to the original I had saved from the web. Sure enough, the image was blurrier and had less dynamic range so it's not just an iPhone display issue. Also, the image was only 27% smaller in file size and the pixel dimensions were actually slightly increased. A quick re-save in Photoshop with JPEG quality set to low (4) reduced the file size by 53% while still not affecting the image anything like what the iPhone did. So it doesn't make sense that the poor quality is only due to resizing for faster transmission.
Can anyone else confirm this or replicate the issue? I've verified this with a 1st gen and 3G iPhone side by side, both running OS 2.1.

No, it's not only you.
I noticed it too. As a matter of fact, I just posted a really long post in a thread about iPhone/iPod Touch's photo quality.

I have problems with uploading images to my printing company have the images have been manipulated through CS6 i have saved images as jpeg but the printer company tell me they are not j peg, they will not upload images save from a camera are fine

I have problems with uploading images to my internet printing company when the images have been manipulated through CS6 and i have saved images as jpeg the printer company tell me they are not j peg,
but images saved from my phone or camera images that have not been manipulated upload fine, What am i doing wrong?

Save/Export them as JPG. Photoshop defaults to PSD, so make sure you select JPG and not just rename the file to .jpg.
There are two ways to save them as JPG: Regular Save as option or Save for Web & Devices
Take your pick.

Images saving from Photoshop to Lightroom are saved way lighter

I first work on an image in Lightroom. Then, I sent a copy with LR edits to Photoshop where I continue to work on the image. When I am done editing in Photoshop and Save - the image goes back to LR, but the Photoshop Tiff copy in LR is far lighter than the image that was saved from editing in Photoshop. If I open the PS image from finder it looks fine - it is darker than the same file as seen in LR.

No problem. Waiting for a video rendering and upload to finish ;-)
If it is fixed in another account than it is highly likely that a develop preset or default gets applied to your images. This happens quite easily and has happened to me unknowingly too. Basically you would by accident have hit the Reset button in Develop while the option key was pressed. What you want to do is to go into Preferences->Presets and hit the button that says "Reset all default Develop settings". Then hit reset on your image. If none of that works, you can always trash the Lightroom preferences file. Quit out of Lightroom, go to the Finder. Hit command-Shift-G. Type ~/Library/Preferences/ in the display that you get to reveal the hidden by default preferences folder in your home account. Find the file that is called com.adobe.Lightroom5.plist (you might not see the plist extension on your computer) and drag that to the trash. Now start Lightroom again and your Lightroom should behave as if you just installed it. You might have to point it to your catalog file if it doesn't open with it there but with an empty catalog. File->Open Catalog-> select your main catalog.

Cannot locate images saved from CS5

I recently upgraded not only from CS3 to CS5, but also from a PC to a Mac. I am having trouble locating some of the images that I am saving from CS5 in the folder that I saved them in. For example, I edited approximately 10 images and saved them into a new folder. When I started to upload them, I noticed that 4 of them were not in the folder that I saved them to. I checked first to make sure I had not saved them in the original folder, and I didn't. Next, I checked the images in photoshop to see if they had been saved. And they had been. Then I tried to save them again into the folder and it told me that this file already exists. But...it's not there. Or at least I cannot find it. Anyone have any idea where these saved images are hiding?

On Mac, the default folder is your user document folder - very much like on a PC. It's actual location on the mac volume is Mac HD:Users:Abingram:Documents, assuming default names. You should have no problems finding them. Saving them to another location should work just the same, but since user management is more rigid in UNIX environments, you may simply not see it if it is in a system folder or another user's folder. OSX actually hides some of these folders then and they are excluded from your personal Spotlight search. To circumevent this and recover your files, you might try to grant yourself admin privileges temporarily in your user control panel ("User can manage this computer"). If you are the only user, this already should be the case and then you may need to check folder permissions by invoking the info panle (Cmd+I)...

I am getting errors upon use of JPG images, saved from Photoshop, in Encore.

How do I use Photoshop JPG images in Encore without errors?
When using camera jpg images, saved by Photoshop (either save, or image manipulation like autocolor then save, no other Photoshop options were tested), Encore will either :
1) generate an image import error: "The software that's used to decode the media is not available on this system. Installing the correct decoders for the files you are working with may help to correct the problem." and be unable to import the image,
2) Image import stops before completion (Encore stops responding and must be Closed by Windows Task Manager), or
3) with a number of images imported, upon attempts to create a Slideshow, Slideshow creation will stop while in progress, and Encore does not respond (Encore must be Closed by Windows Task Manager).
Import and Slideshow creation using untouched camera images is nominal and uneventful.
Import and Slideshow creation using PhotoShop(64bit) GIF (copy) images is nominal and uneventful.

The common cause of this issue is still image files where the pixel size is too large. This warranted its own help page, which is now a dead link.
http://helpx.adobe.com/encore/kb/error-software-used-decode-media.html
But I assume the pixel size is the same whether you are processing them in Photoshop or not. but the main point is that the underlying problem is not about decoders. Encore encounters a problems dealing with the file and throws the only error it (apparently) has. So you are looking for anything like that: pixel size, changes between rgb and cmyk, extra metadata in files. Maybe even filename oddities (length, special characters).
I would look in part at what versions you are using and compatibility settings.
I would save them as png or psd.

Uploading video/image files from mobile

Hello
I need to develop wap website that will allow to upload video and image files from cellphone to server.
The question is what is the best java technology to be used for this case if i am interested in website-like and not application-like solution?
Thanks And best regards
Oifa Yulian

Hi,
Thanks for responding.
I tried using the X-SUP-APPCID, but this time in device logs it initially shows as uploading and once the complete data is sent I get the response code as 401 and in response headers I get 401 Unauthorized and it goes into my error function of File Transfer.
The headers which i am passing :
uploadCreate has my APPCID.
var headers = {
"X-Requested-With" : "XMLHttpRequest",
"Content-Type" : "application/atom+xml",
"DataServiceVersion" : "2.0",
"Accept" : "application/atom+xml,application/xml,application/atomsvc+xml",
"X-CSRF-Token" : "Fetch",
"X-SUP-DOMAIN" : "LntOdDomain",
"X-SUP-APPCID" : uploadCreate
params.username = uid123;
params.password = pwd123;
params.headers = headers;

Image requests from flash gallery are not caching

The image requests that happen from a flash gallery are not getting cached in Safari browser, they get cached properly in IE, Firefox & Chrome.
For Example - Load the following gallery (http://www.monoslideshow.com/demo/) in Safari browser, and monitor the HTTP requests using Charles proxy tool or any other similar tool.
The images are downloaded during the 1st iteration of the gallery, which is expected, but even for the further iterations the images are downloaded from the source, rather than taking from the cache.

Images saved from internet websites

Help. It seems that when we e-mail photo's (even a single photo), the slideshow is capturing images from internet websites we have visited previously. How do configure the settings such that website images are not saved and thus potentially added to photoshop? It tends to confuse folks to whom we send photo's when they start to see images from websites the kiddos visit (Disney, Nickelodian etc.).
Thanks,
Tim

Vibha, thank you very much for taking time to try to help. I think Jim Jutte also suggested what you did, and I have made the adjustments. Because of my concern over this matter however, I stopped using Adobe for my pictures. So I'm not sure if it will work.
What will let me know is when a friend e-mails me some pictures using Adobe Photohouse, and if it has the 'slideshow' feature with it. I will try it and that will no doubt show me if my adjustment worked. (Actually, I guess I could send myself some pictures to one of my own e-mails, and that would tell the story, huh?)
Nevertheless, thank you.

Can I open .xlsx file from mobile Safari webmail in Numbers?

Due to security concerns, my company won't allow me to set up my work email account in Mail on the iPad. I have to use webmail. I can open .xlsx attachments in Safari, but graphs tend to be pretty bad. Is there some way to get Numbers to open the .xlsx file instead of Safari?
I know the company policy is probably lame, but it is non-negotiable so please don't bother addressing that aspect of the problem. Sadly, no matter how impeachable your logic, the policy won't change.

I too can not use mail, but mine is more restrictive, no mail at all from non-approved devices. So I feel your pain.
On to your question, if you have numbers installed on your ipad, then on the bar at the top of the screen where "Done" appears, you will also see either an "open with..." or "Open eith numbers" depending on if you have more than one program installed that can read the document or not.
You will still most likely NOT get your charts to come across like you want them to though. just sayin.

Images saved from photoshop showing really dark in windows

Hey! So i'm having some problems with creating images in photoshop and then exporting them into windows.

I'm using the Photoshop CC 2014 version and running Windows 8.1. Anyone know how to fix this problem so the images show up normal colour in windows? Here is an example of what I mean

Mobile Safari, Airprint font size

If I use Safari on an iPad, and, Airprint to a Brother MFC-J6710DW, the font size is huge. Let's take google as an example, if I search for something and get the usual 10 results, and, i print that page from mobile Safari via Airprint to my printer, it coems out on THREE pages. That's pretty big text.
Are all Airprint printers this way, i.e., this is just the way Airprint works? Or, is it perhaps something with my printer?

I have not seen this. How is this printer coccented? What iOS Version are you running? Also, just to be sure, you have checked the Brother site and hae the latest FW on your printer?
Can you post a link to a web page that shows a huge font when printed, but not on screen?

Images saved by Firefox randomly corrupt? (FF 6.0.2 and 5.0.1)

I've noticed this issue for quite some time. Using Windows XP, images saved from the Internet (right click method) will randomly corrupt. When browsing the thumbnails, certain ones will display a generic JPG icon rather than an actual thumbnail, and the picture cannot be viewed by any software. I'm running FF 5 on a netbook and FF 6 on my desktop system, and BOTH computers are having this issue. The only thing in common here is that Firefox is the browser doing the work. Any idea what could be the problem?

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
* Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

Mobile Safari mail link to doesn't show Exchange group

Has anyone noticed that while attempting to forward a URL from mobile Safari (iPhone/iPad), the composed message doesn't show Exchange contact groups?
If you have an Exchange contact group:
From Safari, try to Mail Link to this Page, then select the + icon in the To field in order to bring up contact groups. I haven't been able to forward a URL from Safari to an Exchange address book recipient.
Other applications do expose the Exchange group: Photos and the Mercury browser, for example.
iPhone 4 (ATT), version 4.3.3. Not sure what version of Exchange, but it's at least 2007. Windows Live group doesn't show, either, FWIW.

Images saved in Safari are too small, 145K becomes 8K and grainy?

Hi folks.
I just got a 2nd gen iPod Touch, and it's running 2.1.1.
When I save images in Safari or Gmail by tapping and holding on the picture, it saves them, but they're too small. I just saved a 145K jpg, and now it's a grainy 8K image in my Saved Photos album.
Anybody else having this problem?
Thanks,
Brendan

Yes, when I tap on an image in Mail App or from the Safari Browser on my Touch 2G the pictures save to my Saved Photos folder and often they are very "*out of focus*". It is a royal pain in the @$$ because, as I keep saying, the 1st Gen iPod Touch NEVER had these problems.
