Images viewed in elements organiser appear over saturated compared with acr or editor

Hi,
I've been struggling with this for some time now. When veiwing images in elements organiser (10) the images have started appearing more saturated than in either adobe camera raw or photoshop elements editor window. They used to always match. I've tried reseting all the colour presets, I've tried changing every setting I can find in acr and I've resorted to a full re-install of elements (including deleting the presets). None of thise have solved the problem.
I'm pretty sure it is the organiser view which is over saturated rather than acr / photoshop which is washed out as, although mostly quite subtle, sometimes the colours are pushed much too far. (I'm only describing it as saturation as that's how it looks - I couldn't say for sure that it is acutally a saturation setting rather than some other colour setting which is causing the issue).
Every so often  organiser updates it's images as I veiw them to match acr but I've not noticed any one reason why that happens - and if I shut organser down and restart it's back to over saturation again.
Any suggestions would be greatfully recieved,
Stuart Martindale

Ken,
Thanks for getting back to me. You're right - it would seem that if I have every thing set to always optimize for computer screens then everything looks the same. Ideally I wouldn't have that set though - the photos are all taken with adobe RGB colour space and we are more given to big prints than sharing on screen.
This never used to be a problem and I've always previously optimised for printing. The pictures are definitley adobe RGB and checking in canon DPP the raw veiw there is the same as ACR so it is the initial organizer colouring which is at fault. I would rather use optimize for printing as we tend to make big prints from our photos rather than sharing electronic albums. Following the suggestion I've done some more playing with settings and found the following situations:
1) If opening organizer when set to optimize for printing the image opens with the wrong colouring. Changing to optimze for screen and update thumbnial and the colouring corrects. Changing back to optimize for printing update thumbnail and any subsequent changes and the colouring stays correct.
2) If opening organizer when set to optimize for computer screens orgainzer opens showing the right colouring. Chaning to optimize for printing and update thumbnail causes the colouring the change. Changing back to optimize for screen and the image corrects it's self. Changing back to optimize for printing and any subsequent changes and the colouring stays correct.
So in summary the first thumbnail viewing optimized for printing is over satuarated / vivid. Changing colourspace away and back seems to correct the problem.
If the colouring is correct for one photo it will update to be correct for any other images viewed.
If there is a way to make optimized for printing photos display correctly on first opening that would be great.

  • Dreamweaver CS3 Image Viewer Flash Element

    Here at Cleveland State University, I offer basic training
    classes for most Adobe products. We are in the middle of a complete
    overhaul of the
    http://www.csuohio.edu space. Our
    goal to is to create an attractive, website with a consistent look
    and feel that makes it easier for our faculty and staff to update
    on a more frequent basis. In doing so, we have created a series of
    pages that can be easily edited in Dreamweaver CS3. One item we
    would like to fully support is the DW CS3 Image Viewer - Flash
    Element. However, we have hit a small layout snag.
    On the main pages of most college and departmental sites, a
    specific space with a finite size is set on a web page for the
    image viewer. A site editor then creates images in Photoshop that
    are that exact size. The image viewer element is configured to be
    that exact size as well. Furthermore, the picture "frame", title,
    caption and controls are hidden in the Flesh Element panel.
    However, when the page is previewed either in Dreamweaver or in a
    browser, the images have been shrunk. There is always a border,
    whether it is white or some other color. I assume the color is the
    stage color of the Flash .swf file. This causes a misalignment of
    the images and the other text.
    Another issue is the links that automatically created. Some
    of our editors have asked me why, even though they specifically
    leave the imageLinks area blank, links seem to be created pointing
    to the Adobe.com website.
    My questions: is there no way to force the Flash element to
    respect the size of the pictures so that no border is showing? Is
    there no way to leave the Im
    I've done a search on the Adobe.com support site and on the
    web and noted that several people have posted questions concerning
    this. Unfortunately, no one seems to know what to do about it.
    I can send links if you would like to see an example. I'd
    greatly appreciate any help you can give me.

    I'm just a user, like you. And I'd rather you not send things
    directly to
    me unless I request you to do this. If you have a problem
    that cannot be
    solved here, then your next option would be to contact Adobe
    Tech Support
    directly. I'm not very familiar with the Flash side of DW, so
    I cannot be
    of much help in this regard.

  • Flash Image Viewer captions won't appear entirely

    I am trying to insert an image viewer on a page to display
    some pictures with captions below each one. When I insert the
    images and text with the image viewer's default settings (colors,
    text size, etc.) all the text appears. If I change any of the
    settings (such as background to black, font color to blue, font
    size, etc.), only 10 characters of the text appears for the first
    image and the second image's caption doesn't appear at all. I've
    resized the image viewer to make it larger and allow for more room
    for the caption at the bottom. I've also inserted a smaller image.
    I've deleted and recreated the entire object. I've created the
    viewer on a different page with and without CSS formatting.
    The most bizarre thing to me is that on the exact same page
    with the same formatting, I could get the captions to appear in
    their entirety. This makes me know it will work. I just don't know
    what could have inadvertently changed. Is there some text length
    modifier that limits the amount of the caption which will appear? I
    have tried to change almost everything that appears for the
    viewer's properties and nothing will solve the problem.
    Thanks for any help or advice!

    I read a site about the image viewer (resources on the web
    are limited on this subject). Should I disable the frame border?
    Should I ensure the image size matches the image viewer's size?
    Even if I make those changes, it doesn't make sense to me how the
    captions appear when I leave the viewer's properties at their
    default settings and if I change anything (even colors), the
    captions disappear.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

  • Photoshop elements 8 under windows 7 "open with" cannot link editor

    Hello,
    I recently upgraded my computer to 64bit, loaded my photographs and can open adobe photoshop elements 8 and editor and work on pictures.  However, I usually browse my pictures in windows explorer, open folders of interest and see small pictures and browse to select.  On picture I rigfht click and chose to "open with".  Now adobe elementsw editor does not appear in this list as it did previously.  I select "chose the program to open with" and when I find it and select it, it still does not appear.
    How can I fix this?
    Thanks for your help,

    Hi,
    Please try couple of probable solutions as mentioned below:
    Solution 1:
    1. Close Elements.
    2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
    3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
    Solution 2: In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
    Solution 3: Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
    Solution 4:
    On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
    Go  to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements  10\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain  plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere  else.
    Now launch PSE and check if it works.

  • Image won't open after right click and "open with" command using Editor PSE 10

    Can't see image after right click and "open with" Windows XP command using Editor PSE 10. The editor opens but no image appears. I have to use the open command from within Editor

      Make sure you have chosen the application PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe and not a shortcut.
    To manually associate a file format with an application:
    In Windows Explorer, right-click a file whose file association you want to change. For example, if you want to change the file association for all jpeg files, click a jpeg file.
    Choose Open With > Choose Program from the pop-up menu.
    In the Open With dialog box, click Browse and then locate and select the exe application file.
    Checkmark "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" and click OK.
    Note:If you choose a program from the Open With menu in step 2, instead of selecting the Choose Program option, this check box is not available, and the file association won't work.

  • Over-saturated dvd burns

    After my DVD is burned, the colors on most TV and computer screens, not including the one its burned from, appear over-saturated. This happens for menus and videos. The reds and blues especially are really bright. Its possible that the greys are also brighter, the images do appear very bright, except for the solid black, which does appear black.
    Any thoughts on this?

    "not including the one its burned from"
    The fact that it doesn't look oversaturated on the monitor used in the creation process is probably a clue. Compared to "average" settings of other computer screens and TVs, it is probably set somewhat undersatured. Based on what this monitor is showing you, you then adjust color, brightness, contrast in the production process - thus ending up with video that looks too dark on any monitor that isn't set too light. :p
    The only "real" way to judge color etc. would be by using a
    calibrated video monitor. If there is no budget for that, the other way is by trial and error (comparing the settings of your monitor with a variety of TVs and monitors). But you should use a video monitor or at least a TV for this and not a computer monitor.

  • Over saturated web colors & Wide Gamut monitors

    I'm trying to create a new portfolio website but I'm going crazy with the colour saturation when viewing the site on my wide gamut monitors. Reds are horrendously over-saturated compared to my colour managed apps like Photoshop and even OS X Preview.
    The website looks OK on the ipad mini and iPhone 4 and looks a little better on OS X 10.8, but on my main workstation (which uses 10.7.5) its horrible. I have a Dell U2711 IPS monitor which has a wide gammut, and all my web browsers (Safari, Firefox, Chrome) and the Finder of all things display my images super-saturated. Doing a Quick View in the Finder shows the image correctly but icon view is super saturated. Very odd.
    Is there a way to fix this? I've tried stripping out the embedded sRGB profile from the web images but I get the same when I preview the image in a browser. Choosing Proof>Monitor Colour in Photoshop gives the same oversaturated result.
    I use Xrite Colormunki for screen callibration.

    I'm using the Spider Pro to calibrate my monitor and everything looks great in Photoshop, Illustrator and Firefox 3.5 with color management turned on. But the lack of color management in Fireworks is still a problem because I'm not seeing the colors the way they will look on most people's monitors. I can't design unless I can see what most people will be seeing.
    Fireworks should be using that ICC profile that my calibrator generated but instead its sending the colors to the monitor raw. This is what's causing the over-saturation. This really is quite unacceptable.

  • Spry menu and image viewer

    I am using a spry horizontal menu.
    Two problems I am trying to fix:
    1. The drop down menus shift to the right in IE7 on PC
    instead of coming up directly below the parent menu item.
    2. The drop down menus overlap an 'image viewer flash
    element' area and struggle to stay on top when the slide show is
    playing. Is there a way to make them drop down over the flash area
    or will that always conflict?
    I am very new to Dreamweaver--I stalled on switching over
    from GoLive which I have used since 1997.
    Thanks for any help. I feel like a newbie all over again!

    position: relative;
    height: 210px;

    overflow:hidden;
    Does that help?  I believe what's causing the gap is the top margin on the <h1> tag which will 'escape' the container.  By making the container a new block formatting context with the overflow style, you can prevent the margin from escaping.  Alternatively, just add this rule -
    #comp_image h1 {
    margin-top:0;

  • How do I fix uncontrollable scrolling in Elements Organiser?

    How do I fix uncontrollable scrolling through image thumbnails in Elements Organiser? The problem occurs whether I use the trackpad on my Macbook or the Magic Mouse. I have tried slowing the gesture speed to Zero in Settings. This has absolutely no effect on the speed at which images move in the Organiser. The speed makes both Photoshop and Premiere Elements unusable.

  • How to remove links to adobe from the image viewer

  • Photo's look over saturated when compaired with Preview and PS.

    My g/f's photos look natural when she views them in Preview and Photoshop, yet when viewed within iPhoto they look over saturated!
    Which one represents the truest viewer and why are they different?
    Thanx
    Tc

    Can I just say...
    I ask anyone with Tiger and 6.0.3 to double click a photo from within iPhoto so it goes to edit within Photoshop. As soon as the photo arrives at PS it looks fine and as it should be. Compare the two and iPhoto's is aweful!!
    Seriously, dont edit anything in iPhoto. The colour profiling is all over the place!

  • Colours look different in Elements compared with Photoshop Album

    Hello All,
    I have a bit of a problem with Elements 5.0. When I import a RAW file and save to jpeg (at the maximum image quality selection) I have the image exactly as I want it. However if I then double click the image from the folder where it is stored it opens in Photoshop Starter Edition 3.0 and the colours of the image are much warmer with skin tones appearing more pink.
    If I then open the same image back in Elements it appears all ok.
    Has anyone else had this issue whereby Elements displays an image differently to other programs?
    Help!!

    UPDATE: When I use column view in Finder the Preview looks correct. But the thumbnail when in thumbnail view looks incorrect....

  • Over saturated Images in Safari

    I'm experiencing an issue where Safari shows images optimised for the web in a very over saturated form.
    It is really driving me mad!
    My MackBook Pro and 23" apple LCD are both colour calibrated using the Spyder2Pro colouromitor. I use those profiles for the screens and the colours are great.
    Here's my workflow:
    - My camera is set to use Adobe RGB 1998 icc profile
    - I take images in RAW format and import them into Aperture (ver 1.5).
    - When I have made any adjustments I export them from Apertue into jpeg format
    - I have set-up Aperture to use the sRGB colour space when exporting images into jpeg format from Aperture (the images will mainly be used for the web which is why I use sRGB)
    - I open the images using Photoshop and use the 'optimise for web' feature to keep the file size low
    - I select the option that says 'embed icc profile'
    - Photoshop then embeds the sRGB icc profile in the image
    If I look at the image, it looks just fine in Photoshop or any other image viewing program. If I then open it in Safari it looks way over sturated.
    I have tried everything and I just can't work it out.
    I've even tried setting my monitor colour space to that of sRGB to see if it makes any difference, and it doesn't.
    However, if I choose NOT to embedd the icc profile in the image, then Safari opens the image and it looks just like the jpeg when I view it within Photohop or any other image veiwer.
    I can view the images using Internet Explorer on a Windows PC and they appear to be fine. I guess thats because IE ignores colour profiles where Safari will use them if they exist.
    It seems Safari is reading the colour profile incorrectly in the image.
    Can anyone tell me whats going on?

    Hi

  • Photoshop over-saturating images when saving for web

    I've spent most of the day recalibrating my monitor.
    I now use a gamma setting of 2.2, and target white point of D65.
    My color workspace is sRGB IE661966-2.1.
    I'm using Photoshop CS3.
    So I've tried converting an image (even though I am already working in the same color workspace) to sRGB IE661966-2.1 and when I do a Save-for-web, Adobe gives me an over-saturated image.
    Now, while in Photoshop I move the save-for-web window lower so I can visually compare the image in photoshop to the one presented in the save-for-web dialog, and they are still different.
    I am at loss.
    I could understand if I went to another computer and viewed the image, or went to another browser and viewed the image, but even in Photoshop, I'm seeing oversaturation.
    To compensate, I've been desaturating my images, but this is frustrating, as I feel it should work.
    Can anyone shed some light on this matter?
    I'm running OS X v. 10.4.11
    a dual processor Intel dual-core 2.66GHZ zeon
    2 GB RAM
    Monitor is a Dell 2407WFPHC

    >> I wouldn't want the other apps to assume sRGB for an untagged image, because
    That's a fair opinion...[I] would want an option to set an RGB Default profile in ColorSync, though, because the 'high-gamut' monitor I had here whacked out Finder, Preview, iPhoto color, and that setting would 'fix' the problem across the Mac OS.
    The last time I saw this ColorSync RGB Default option was in 10.3x
    http://www.gballard.net/psd/cswfi/panthercs.jpg
    But according to Apple's John Gnaegy, when I asked him WHY that setting wasn't working here:
    He said, "The ColorSync panel> Default Profiles tab headline is wrong.
    "I certainly understand why you would think (that ColorSync's RGB Default setting is Assigned to iPHOTO documents that do not contain embedded profiles), but that's not what happens. Untagged images are instead represented by the profile of the preferred (Default) display," said John.
    It appears some people at Apple understand the issues -- default 1.8 gamma, default monitor RGB, trying to set up ColorSync option to set a Default RGB -- but it also seems like Apple is very slow and stubborn to change...
