Major background artifacts when any amount of colour saturation is used

I just bought Photoshop CS5.
Whenever I open a RAW file in camera raw, then open it up in photoshop and then apply image saturation of any level of strength, the whole image changes tone and the background gets large noise surrounded patches of light colour.
I checked my colour settings and they're fine.
Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?
Thanks!!
Samples included below...
This one is fine... I opened it in Camera RAW, saturated by +10 and saved as a jpeg
This one was opened in Camera raw, then opened in Photoshop and I applied +10 of saturation again, then saved as a jpeg. There are artifacts and patches of lighter colour especially on the leaves in the background. This was only a very small increase in saturation as well, so any significant increase produces much worse artifacts.
Here's a closeup of the leaf in the background of the image above.

It's possible what you're seeing is channel clipping.  After doing a conversion with those artifacts, try clicking on your individual channels to see if any is completely blacked or whited out.  I'm betting you're going to see clipping.
Try converting your raw images to the ProPhoto RGB color space and see if that helps.  The target color space can be set via the little link at the bottom-center of the dialog.
Also, try using the Vibrance control rather than Saturation.

  • How to change the background of the StackPanel control when any child element has focus?

    Hello folks!
    I need to change the background of the StackPanel control when any element within the StackPanel has focus. I am executing the code snippet below. The code works fine with elements within the Grid control named "main". It doesn't work when I focus
    an element within the Grid control named "header".
    <StackPanel x:Name="techReportStackPanel" Width="250" Background="{Binding ColorBrush}" >
    <StackPanel.Style>
    <Style TargetType="{x:Type StackPanel}">
    <Style.Triggers>
    <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding ElementName=techReportStackPanel, Path=IsKeyboardFocusWithin}" Value="True">
    <Setter Property="Background" Value="Gray" />
    <Setter Property="Opacity" Value=".5" />
    </DataTrigger>
    </Style.Triggers>
    </Style>
    </StackPanel.Style>
    <Grid x:Name="header">
    <TextBlock x:Name="headerColumn" Text="{Binding Name}" Style="{StaticResource ColumHeader}"/>
    <Button Visibility="{Binding ElementName=headerColumn, Path=Text, Converter={StaticResource delButtonVisibilityConverter}}" Command="{Binding DelCommand}" Content="x" ToolTip="{l:Translate TechReportDeleteToolTip}"/>
    </Grid>
    <Grid x:Name="main">
    <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
    <ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
    <ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
    </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
    <wpftoolkit:WatermarkTextBox Grid.Column="0" Style="{StaticResource OrdinaryTextbox}" Watermark="{l:Translate LengthLabel}" ToolTip="{l:Translate BoreholeSpacingInRow}" Text="{Binding BoreholeSpacingInRow, Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged, StringFormat=F2, Converter={StaticResource zeroToEmptyDoubleConverter}}" />
    <wpftoolkit:WatermarkTextBox Grid.Column="1" Style="{StaticResource OrdinaryTextbox}" Watermark="{l:Translate WidthLabel}" ToolTip="{l:Translate BoreholeSpacingBetweenRow}" Text="{Binding BoreholeSpacingBetweenRow, Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged, StringFormat=F2, Converter={StaticResource zeroToEmptyDoubleConverter}}" />
    </Grid>
    </StackPanel>
    Any advice and suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

    >>It doesn't work when I focus an element within the Grid control named "header".
    You mean when the Button in the "header" Grid is focused? A TextBlock is not focusable so when the Button is not visible no element in the "header" Grid will be focused since you only have two elements in the "header" Grid.
    But when the Button is visible it should work. Please refer to the following code:
    <StackPanel x:Name="techReportStackPanel" Width="250" Background="{Binding ColorBrush}" >
    <StackPanel.Style>
    <Style TargetType="{x:Type StackPanel}">
    <Style.Triggers>
    <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding ElementName=techReportStackPanel, Path=IsKeyboardFocusWithin}" Value="True">
    <Setter Property="Background" Value="Gray" />
    <Setter Property="Opacity" Value=".5" />
    </DataTrigger>
    </Style.Triggers>
    </Style>
    </StackPanel.Style>
    <Grid x:Name="header">
    <TextBlock Text="text..."/>
    <Button Visibility="Visible" Content="Button" />
    </Grid>
    <Grid x:Name="main">
    <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
    <ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
    <ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
    </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
    <TextBox Grid.Column="0">main grid...</TextBox>
    <TextBox Grid.Column="1">main grid...</TextBox>
    </Grid>
    </StackPanel>
    When the Button is focused the Background colour of the StackPanel is set to Gray as expected.
    If you want to be able to focus the TextBlock you should set its Focusable property to true:
    <Grid x:Name="header">
    <TextBlock Focusable="True" x:Name="headerColumn" Text="{Binding Name}" Style="{StaticResource ColumHeader}"/>
    <Button Visibility="{Binding ElementName=headerColumn, Path=Text, Converter={StaticResource delButtonVisibilityConverter}}" Command="{Binding DelCommand}" Content="x" ToolTip="{l:Translate TechReportDeleteToolTip}"/>
    </Grid>
    Hpoe that helps.

  • Red artifact blob shows up in the middle of my screen when there are dark colours showing

    Does anyone know what this is? Or why it is happening? There is a red blob-ish artifact that is on the middle of my screen and you can notice it when there are dark colours on the screen. It's really annoying when I'm trying to watch movies or play games that have dark scenes. (The picture quality isn't that great, but you can kinda see the red blob I'm talking about.)
    Any thoughts?

    I'm having the same problem. Only noticed it after installing OS X Lion.

  • Moving/vibrating background pixels when watching a DVD

    Ive noticed when watching a DVD (its the only video test ive run), that there is all this "noise" in background, or on still objects (say it curtain). it looks as though very tiny pixels vibrating alot. (they are whatever colour the environment is), so its basically just distortion of whatever im looking at. they move really really fast. Is this normal? I expected the picture to be sharp and crystl clear.

    Just from looking at your picture I would say it is a "film grain".
    Most feature movies are shot on wet film, not digital and the noise is natural.
    A lot of movies shot in HD are post-processed to add the film grain, just to make them look more natural. In short, not seeing any pixelation or colour banding in your shot - this is exactly what the DOP had in mind - film grain.

  • I have a Rocketfish mini display port to VGA adaptor cord for a macbook pro, it was working fine the first week, now it does not show what I am seeing on my laptop on my lg Flat screen tv. It only shows the space background but not any icons. Any help??

    Is there anything I should do to the TV or any settings i should do from my actual Macbook? It only shows the space background but not any of my icons or what i am seeing on my laptop screen. It is a new adaptor which was purchased last week.

    It seems as though though it may be a connection issue, possibly hardware or adapter. Make certain the connections are TIGHT.
    For software you may try a smc reset:
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
    Try a pram reset:
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Option, Command (⌘), P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on your Mac.
    Immediately press and hold the Option-Command-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears. Continue holding the keys down until your Mac restarts, and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    If no joy you can take it in to an Apple store genius bar for a free evaluation make an appointment first.

  • Keyboard shutcut for choosing background color when brush tool is active?

    Hello,
    I've forgotten the keyboard shortcut for choosing a background color when the brush tool is the active tool . Holding down the alt key with the brush selected chooses the foreground color. What key do you hold down to select the background color?  I'm on a mac. Thanks.

    caligula1 wrote:
    One keyboard shortcut for choosing a background color that you might not be aware of is opt + I  (on a mac)
    That's interesting, but is it a lower case L or upper case i?  I certainly can't make it work on a PC.
    A couple of thought for you...  There are no easy to use shortcuts unused in Photoshop nowadays, so I sometimes steal them from little or never used operations.  For instance, how many people use H for panning instead of the Space bar.  I know H has the benefit of locking in panning, but I don't think I have 'ever' had a need for it.  I have, in the past, stolen Y from Blur and Smudge, but I have not done so in recent versions.
    But for quickly and constantly picking background colours, you need a convenient key, and that suggests the Z key to me, as I always zoom with the mouse and Ctrl (or Alt) Space bar.  Just a thought.
    Another option is the Wacom Express keys if you are using a tablet that has them.  The Keystroke option won't accept some combinations, but I think it would be doable
    Shift F4 is for an Action I used to use a few versions back, to place guides at 50% vertical and horizontal.  They are easy to snap drag nowadays.
    One last idea on a similar vein, are programmable keys on custom keyboards.  I don't know if they are available for the Mac, but I use a Logitech G110 which has 12 programmable keys on the left of the usual layout.  These 12 keys can be programed three different ways, and selected by the M keys above.  I originally bought this keyboard for its illuminated keys, but I quickly got used to the extra functionality.  Even the little volume control, in the top right corner, (highlighted in magenta below) is such a convenience. I use these keys for launching Actions,, although I found I had to make both G8 and G12 mirror the Ctrl key as I occasionally hit them by mistake.

    jpg and pdf formats don't support transparency. You need to use a format such as tif, png or psd that does.

  • Help!!! - When Creating Customer  I get this ERROR "Provide a positive integer for minimum customer balance amount or percent when balance amount overdue type is amount or percent respectively."

    When Creating Customer  I get this ERROR "Provide a positive integer for minimum customer balance amount or percent when balance amount overdue type is amount or percent respectively."
    I tried troubleshooting when I saw the another post and created with a new customer profile class, but still getting an error, though I created another profile like below and attached this to another existing customer it worked, but when I tried creating a new customer it is still giving me the error. I am Using Oracle Applications R12.1.1
    Steps I followed in Creating a New customer Profile
    ==== Make sure the new Customer Profile class which you will create is in active state. Cross check below steps while defining a customer Profile class.. e.g. Name : DEFAULT (and it's active)
    *1) Profile Class Tab :*
    a) Balance FWD Billing : Not enabled
    b) Invoicing --> Tax Printing ( Summarize By Tax Name), Grouping Rule (DEFAULT)
    c) Set Terms as per ur requirement , do allow discount & Override terms
    d) Set Dunning as per your requirement,
    e) Filled in Collectors info as per your requirement with Credit Check enabled...
    f) Receipt --> Auto cash Rule set as 'Standard'..
    *2) Late Charge Profile* Set it as per requirement
    *3) Profile Class Amounts* e.g Say Currency set as "USD"
    a) Credit Limit : 100000
    b) Order Credit Limit : 100000
    c) Minimum Receipt Amount : 1.00
    d) Min statement amount : 1.00
    e) don't put any value in Exchange Rate type (e.g, monthly, Plan etc..)
    f) Minimum Customer Balance : Amount ------> Value: 5.00
    g) Minimum Invoice Balance : Amount ------> Value: 5.00
    h) Minimum Charge per invoice : 1, Maximum Charge per Invoice : 100 Under Interest Charge
    i) mention Type as Fixed Rate, Value : 10
    j) You can avoid setting the Penalty Charge for the time being..
    Step-2_ a) Open a customer ..*go to Bill to site details* --> Click on Profile Tab --> Under Profile Class field please include new profile class which is created by you (e.g DEFAULT) . b) Go to Profile Amounts Tab --> Click(Show) on Currency USD --> Verify the set up here as well   I could see this.
    When I tried creating an new Customer using the new profile, it's repeating the same error. Please help.

    Hi
    You get this error when profile class amounts are not set for all the currency.  Go back to your profile and ensure that the profile amounts are set for all the currencies found, whether you are using it or not.

  • Screensaver on desktop background also when i work

    hello.
    it is possible put screensaver on desktop background also when i work?
    how?using terminal?what line command?
    thanks for the help

    Hi, christian.
    Quartz Desktop will enable you to use the Apple-provided screen savers that are Quartz Compositions as a desktop. That page also has links to other Quartz Composition screen savers.
    Some of these applications will let you use a movie as your desktop.
    Some of these applications will let you use movies as screen savers. In particular, Movie Screen Saver appears both popular and highly-rated.
    I've not tried any of them, so let the user-submitted reviews be your guide.
    When looking for new applications, I recommend searching MacUpdate or Version Tracker. The user-submitted reviews accompanying the listings are helpful in sorting the wheat from the chaff.

  • Background image when recording video on iphone like in photobooth?

    Is there an app that places a background image when video recording like in photobooth?

    Thanks for your reply . I've removed the cover when doing both tests I mentioned. The earphone I used is at good condition and I don't see any problem with it. I've also reinstalled the iOS as your instruction, but still no luck, the video sound still has noise.
    I've decided to export the video file to my PC to see if I can hear sound better or not, as it's hard to hear and sound except noise with the external speaker on my iPhone even at maximum volume. On my PC I had to increased playback volume to 100%, set volume booster to 300% and applied noise reduction plugin (I use Media Player Classic on Windows 7) to get an acceptable sound (still noise but better than the original). If I don't boost the volume, it's hard to hear anything. I don't expect it to be crystal clear like the voice memo (using the bottom mic), but too much noise like this is really bad.
    So I think it appears to be a hardware-related problem. I will later consider to send it to a phone repair shop or keep it and accept this bad video sound problem . In Vietnam we just have Apple authorized resellers but don't have any official Apple repair shops, that's why I'm still confused as I don't really trust those phone repair shops to handle my iPhone. Anyway, thanks again for your comment .
    P.S: it maybe a little off-topic, but do you know any video recording app that using the bottom mic ?
