Images very "grainy" when opened in PS CC...why??

Hey people! I'm pretty green when it comes to PS and I have ONE problem (i'll solve the others on my own...) I tested the free trial version of PS CC and all was sweet. After the trial I started to subscribe to PS and the problem is that when I open an image its all grainy, very grainy. Black and white images are super grainy and everything looks just bad.... What's going on? I use a PC, Win 7.
Thank full for any help on this matter!
Kind regards
Neil

If the images looked ok before, it could be a video driver issue. Try updating the driver and see if it fixes the issue.

Why does my RAW image look grainy when I export it in to Photoshop CC from Lightroom for editing?

Why does my RAW image look grainy when I export it in to Photoshop CC from Lightroom for editing?
Checked LR's setting for Ps export and they haven't changed since it was OK a few days ago? It is OK if you zoom in but in 'fit page' it looks terrible!

I have exactly the same problem and it has got worse today as the photos also now open in smaller windows for some reason

I have added photos to a portfolio website I'm building and a lot of them look VERY grainy when you click on them. They are nice clean large files and can print bat high res way over 16" x 20" so whats happened to them in iWeb?

When you are dealing with websites, image file size is a trade off between quality and download speed. There's not a lot of point to having high quality images if they take too long to download in the browser.
Nowadays we also have to consider the device that the end user is viewing the images on. An image that is optimized for viewing on a large screen is total overkill and unsuitable for those using mobile devices.
Really we should be supplying different versions of media files for different devices using @media rules in the stylesheet but this is rather outside of the scope of iWeb. If you use the built in image optimizer and the iWeb Photo template with slideshow, the application will optimize the images according to the way in which you set this function in preferences and the slideshow size will be automatically reduced for those viewing it on smaller screens.
If you want to give your viewers the opportunity to view large, high quality images, you can supply them as a download.

InDesign very slow when opening a document with many large photographs

When opening a book file linked with many large photographs (up to 1.3 GB) InDesign CS4 & CS3 (CS2 did not have this behaviour) takes up to 10 minutes, or even more to open one of the 16 page chapters of the book. As its opening the file InDesign is completely iresponsive. It helps to see the whole document at 5% so that all the images 'load'. The preview view settings are on the default Typical settings. When the link to the folder with the images is broken, InDesign opens the document very fast. It seems that on opening the document InDesign CS4 (and 3) has to rebuild the preview files as if the settings were on High and not Typical in the Preferences settings. Is there any way around this?

InDesign generates the preview upon import, in fact when the original image is missing InDesign still previews the image, it does not need the original file. Fast Display is not an option since all images are greyed out. To me it seems that InDesign CS4 & 3 re-link to the original files every time a document is opened. After churning away to re-link itself to the original high res files then it becomes responsive again. Yet this can take even more than 5-10 minutes when the linked photographs are very big. CS2 did not behave this way. It did this behaviour only when High Quality Display was selected, which is understandable.

Images not displaying when open in Dreamweaver

Hi, my images on the page
oldfortestates.com/about_st.vincent.htm do not display properly
when open in DW however they do on the server when opened with a
browser. They are stored in the images folder in the site root. I
have this problem with all my pages...

Going back to my original comment, if you change the name
http://oldfortestates.com/images/table_bck1.JPG
(File Not Found)
to
http://oldfortestates.com/images/table_bck1.jpg
the image is there.

I am far from being the best person to give advice, I would
steer clear of
javascript menus for a start - they don't work with
javascript turned off.
There are many good ones recommended here,
www.projectseven.com and others
Start with a clean page and investigate Server Side Includes
with a good
menu (see many recommendations here) or, as you suggest (you
don't have many
pages), a template.
Make sure you save the template File > Save As Template.
>then rename the individual pages
No, create child pages from the template, giving them names.
I wouldn't
rename anything you already have, the code is... bad.
Check out your validation errors to make sure you don't
repeat your
mistakes.
You'd be wise to look at
http://www.w3schools.com/ for
HTML and CSS.
As I said, I'm not the best person to help but hope this does
a bit.

MacBook Pro run very slow when open Contacts

My MacBook Pro (earlie 2011) run very slow. When open Contacs show the color ball. I can't see duplicates contacs.

Back up all data.
1. If you use iCloud, uncheck the box marked Contacts in the iCloud preference pane. Press return to confirm, or click Keep on Mac in the dialog that opens.
2. From the list of groups on the left side of the Contacts window, select All On My Mac. If that group doesn't exist or is empty, skip this step. Otherwise, from the menu bar, select
File ▹ Export ▹ Export vCard
Save the exported contacts to the Desktop.
3. Quit Contacts. Triple-click the text on the line below on this page to select it, then copy it to the Clipboard (command-C):
~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V), and press return.
A Finder window will open with a folder selected. Move the selected folder to the Desktop, leaving the window open for now.
4. Launch Contacts. Your contacts will be gone. If you took Step 2, then double-click the file you created in that step and confirm that you want to import from it. Your contacts will reappear.
5. Re-enable Contacts in the iCloud preference pane, if you disabled it. Test. If the issue is resolved, delete the AddressBook folder and the vCard file on the Desktop and close the open folder window.
Otherwise, quit Contacts again and put the AddressBook folder back where it was, overwriting the newer one that will have been created in its place. Post your results.

Sony a77 raw files look noisy/grainy when opened on cs6?

HI
i'm having problems with my images looking quite harsh when opening the raw files, this didn't happen on the trial version, i've only just got the cs6 from adobe so is there a setting i need to change?
thanks Andy

You misinterpreted me. I meant that without seeing what you're seeing it's hard to provide accurate help, and that answers would be more like "shots in the dark".
Can you please post a photograph (or small crop from one)? Perhaps even a link to a representative raw file, with which someone else could try and reproduce what you're seeing.

Images pre-edited when opened in Editor

I have used PSE 11 for a few years and all of the sudden this week my images are being "auto edited" when opened. When I open an image in Editor it has already been edited a bit… it looks different than the image in Organizer. I want to edit the images myself. Did I accidentally turn some "auto edit" on? How can I turn this off?

I just figured out that after the image is opened in Editor, I can go Image-- Convert Color Profile-- Remove Color Profile. That gives me the original image. But, does anyone know how to turn this off for good?

Photoshop images are grainy when I view/edit them

I have used Photoshop CS3 for a year now with my 15-megapixel DSLR camera and used to be able to edit photos in PS just fine. But about 2 months ago I upgraded to CS4 and since then, all my images are super grainy when viewing and editing them in PS. I know it has nothing to do with the way I'm saving the images as they show grainy in photoshop before I even do anything to them. And when uploading them online, they're still super grainy even though they weren't before back when I was using CS3
Anyone have any idea why?

Well, that's the thing. The camera settings are the exact same as they were when I was running CS3 when everything was fine. The only variable that changed was installing CS4. After I did that, even though the camera settings DID NOT change, the images all of a sudden became grainy
I thought it may be a hardware issue so I upgraded the video card to one that greatly exceeds the requirements, but still no joy. I also did the Ctrl+Alt+Shift method to clear settings in case there was a rougue setting somewhere that was causing it. Still no luck

Why does a fine JPG image turn grainy when uploaded online? Is my browser missing something?

My "picture-perfect" JPG images become grainy or coarse when I upload them to imageshack.us, yahoo, etc.

If Firefox also saves the images in low quality then you may have an ISP that sends the images compressed in lower quality to speed up the page loading.
If you want to see the original image quality all the time then you need to contact your ISP and ask what to do to opt-out of that service or see if there is a FAQ about it on the web page of your ISP.

PNG files are grainy when opened in Illustrator.

Files that I create in Photoshop and save as PNG files are grainy and colored incorrectly when opened in Illustrator. The files are fine when opened in other programs. Please see the pictures below to illustrate my point. These are the same file, however, the first is the PNG file that I've saved in Photoshop and the second is how Illustrator renders the file.
Original - Saved from Photoshop
Rendered in Illustrator. Exported as PNG.

It is PNG 24. It's super bizarre. I originally thought it was because the file began as a RAW file, but any file I export as a PNG gives me the same issue when opened in illustrator.

Help, image is resizing when opening PH3 out off LR2

Hi guys,
i have a problem when I open a 10,2 MB image from LR2 with PS3. It will open in PS3 but has rezised to 51MB. I use MacBook Pro.
What can I do to change that!
Cheers Dirk

Dirk,
Where are you seeing the file size change? File formats that use compression, such as .jpg and .psd will balloon in size when opened, but store compact.

Dreamweaver very slow when opening files with external links

Is there any way to fix Dreamweaver CS5 (Windows 7, 64bit) when opening files with external references?
For example, I have a very simple CSS file, and toward the top the file has a line that says:
@import url("https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Ubuntu:500,700");
This causes the file to take around 20 seconds to open in DW. If I comment out the line or remove it, the file opens almost instantly. This behaviour is also present in files that contain an SSI.
DW often crashes before being able to open the file and I need to restart the app.
Can I disable DW from attempting to load the references?? It's obviously what is causing the issue IMO and would love to make DW workable again!

"Enable Related Files" isn't the fix for this issue. It's slightly different - I wanted to still load related files, but only the ones local to the file I was editing.
The fix was to use DW's Resolve To IP Address feature. It required adding a registry value - it fixed the issue straight away
This Adobe support doc helped: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/887/cpsid_88742.html

Forms Opening is Very slow when opened from Client PC's.

All,
We are running forms application in 10.1.2.0 application server. We have a peculiar issue of slowness while opening forms from client PC's and not while opening from application server itself.
1) When opening the form from a Windows 7 PC it takes around 25 seconds
2) When opening the form from a Windows XP PC it takes around 15 seconds
3) When opening the form from the application server itself it took less than 3 seconds .
In essence all forms when opened from application server are opening very fast and when opened from client PC's it takes undue time. What might be the reason for the same, can anyone help us and we are pondering over this issue for some time. What are the files of interest to be visited for these kind of issues. We enabled tracing level 5 in JRE and could not find any thing fishy over it.
Request application server and forms experts to participate and help us to resolve.
Thanks in advance.

Even if it's a generic issue you need to break it down in smaller parts to actually get a clue what's causing your problem. By now there is nothing we can rule out as the only thing we know is that it's slow on the client PC's.
Building a small dummy form as suggested by Andreas is a good starting point. If the performance is also bad for a small form with one block you can rule out that it has anything to do with forms and it's caused by e.g. your network. If the small form performs well rebuild one of your forms step by step and do tests for each step. By that you should find what's causing troubles.
What you can also take a look at are network roundtrips: You have to set the console window of your forms, and enable networkstats in your formsweb.cfg
networkStats=yesA typical cause for (unnecessary) roundtrips are e.g. calls to the synchronize built in or timers. If you are using Javabeans you should also take a look at them. If you are looking at your network traffic wireshark is your friend ;).
cheers

On iPad2, the screen is very dim when opening an iBook only.

The display is normal on all settings except when opening an iBook. I turned auto brightness off and on, but neither setting made any difference. I first noticed the problem prior to upgrading to the latest version of iOS, and after upgrading, the problem was fixed for several weeks. Now it's back to dim books. Also, the Kindle books and other apps are normal brightness.

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.
Also, iBooks has its own setting for brightness (in the format/themes section- looks like aA in the upper right when a book is opened). But I'm not 100% sure how independant of the overall brightness setting it is.
