My colors get darker in Photoshop?

Hi, I'm a cartoonist and very new to photoshop, and every time i do anything with the brush tool, and happen to go over my previous lines, it gets a shade darker. This is very annoying and because of it all my linework looks kind of messed up.
If any one has anything please tell me thank you

As you probably know, Photoshop is not an Apple product.

  • W520 Colors Get Dark when Playing Game

    I just got my W520 and love it so far. My one problem is that when I open a game (Blockland), the display colors become really dark. When I close the game, they go back to normal. This started after I color-calibrated the screen. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.

  • Colors get progressively darker in Photoshop?

    hey, guys- I'm new and using photoshop CS5 and use a Mac 10.6.4. I draw cartoons, so i often do linework and a layer beneath for colors. But whenever i use the brush and make several strokes, the colors get progressively darker until turning into black. I have a feeling this has a fancy photoshop name and i accidentally turned it on, but I don't know the name.. This is really holding back a lot of my projects and if you have anything to help please tell!
    Thank you

    Ohhhh- thank you so much!!!!

  • Color Management Module In Photoshop

    Question:  A color management module is the software that defines the mathematical manipulations by which color conversions are made?

    Thanks for your quick reply.

    Re: Color Management Module In Photoshop created by ronzie99 in Photoshop Elements - View the full discussion
    There are different types of icc\icm profiles used in color management.
    First is the color workspace. PSE is by default set to create files in the color space embedded in the image opened and if not then the default color space of your choosing. The type of color space describes the gamut limitations of that color space.
    Next are device specific color profiles. These are the display and printer profiles but can also exist for input devices. These profiles serve as tables to fit the measured characteristicsof the device to the color space requireed. For output devices there are Rendering Intents that can be chosen to determine how the limitations of a device can be best interpolated to fit the color space of an image  into the limitations of the device for best appearance.
    A practical way to think of a display to output workflow think of the color space situated between the displayed image and the output device with the color space in the middle defining limitations as a standard. The devices profiles are then measured against the standard color profile to create corrections or translation table so they react appropropriately to present the image on the display for the output device target profile in an attempt to get a 'what you see is what you get' envirionment for the specific devices used.
    You need to create via calibration either by you (better) or insttall from the manufacturer a profile for the display. This matches your display device to the 'standard' profile. If you go to print then you'll need to install a printer profile (which varies by ink and paper type) either OEM or from paper suppliers or created by a measuring device you can purchase if you go 'rogue' regrding non-OEM inks and papers.
    PSE does not have a soft-proof mode built in like Photoshop. It does have a setup, though, where it will let you assign every time you print an output profile that you select if you want PSE to directly manage the printer for tonality and color, in which case in the printer driver itself you disable color management only leaving the driver to descrive the image quality and surface type of the paer chosen and choosing none or leaving icm unchecked in the printer driver. The profile is selected in the PSE printer driver under advanced.
    Soft proof mode is where the display translation is further manipulated to approximate the printer output. This can happen because you have calibrated your monitor to a standard and a printer tothat same standard. I have an add-on for PSE 10 called Elements +  that in addition to lots of filters and effects adds some soft-proofing capability and curve color level adjustments to PSE. http://www.simplephotoshop.com/elementsplus/index.htm
    In practical terms that is the function of color management.
    BTW: The defacto color space for the Internet web browsers is sRGB. Use this when correcting color for web distribution.

  • Elements 10, windows 8, 64 bit, epson artisan 835 printer: prints are really dark even after using enhancements like adjusting lighting. Prints are darker than photoshop edit screen. Prints are acceptable using paint, windows photo viewer, or gallery.

    In general theory, one now has the Edit button for their posts, until someone/anyone Replies to it. I've had Edit available for weeks, as opposed to the old forum's ~ 30 mins.
    That, however, is in theory. I've posted, and immediately seen something that needed editing, only to find NO Replies, yet the Edit button is no longer available, only seconds later. Still, in that same thread, I'd have the Edit button from older posts, to which there had also been no Replies even after several days/weeks. Found one that had to be over a month old, and Edit was still there.
    Do not know the why/how of this behavior. At first, I thought that maybe there WAS a Reply, that "ate" my Edit button, but had not Refreshed on my screen. Refresh still showed no Replies, just no Edit either. In those cases, I just Reply and mention the [Edit].
    Also, it seems that the buttons get very scrambled at times, and Refresh does not always clear that up. I end up clicking where I "think" the right button should be and hope for the best. Seems that when the buttons do bunch up they can appear at random around the page, often three atop one another, and maybe one way the heck out in left-field.
    While I'm on a role, it would be nice to be able to switch between Flattened and Threaded Views on the fly. Each has a use, and having to go to Options and then come back down to the thread is a very slow process. Jive is probably incapable of this, but I can dream.

  • Screen Getting Darker

    I have a 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo that i bought in November of 2009.  i've noticed in the last month or so that about have of the screen is a little bit darker.  there's more light on the right side of the screen than the left side.  Does someone have an answer to this?  thanks.

    JMVD,
    Seems to me that you're quite the Apple expert. I had this problem with my eMac. Since, I am not American or English I hope I can make the problem chrystal clear.
    I think I had the same problem with my screen. A few days ago I left my eMac running while not using it. After a while the screen became dark due to the "sleep modus setting" of course. This is not the first time this happens. Only this time after activating the eMac again my screen was so much darker. So of course I changed the screen setting (calibration) at the system preference menu. It improved the brightness of the screen but I noticed that it still was not normal. I said to myself: as long as I can work with it than it would be no problem. But then last night I forgot to shut down my eMac and again the screen got darker. This time I tried to change the setting again. Again the calibration process but I saw that I am using the maximum brightness and I got irritated by the quality of the color. And furthermore if the screen would get darker the next time I already used up the calibration / brightness possibities.
    So I went looking for help at the apple site. And I found your discussion. And I just tried the command option o f advise of yours etc etc etc. After the automatic restart only the grey screen (background) with in the centre the apple logo appeared.
    Your advice was very simple so I just went for it. I hope I did not erased the whole unit. Please tell me what I should do know. Also I saw the screen (grey back ground / apple logo) was kind of dark. But, I never look at the screen when I start up the eMac. Maybe I am imagining this.
    I hope you can help me with this. Unfortunately, I do not have the apple care protection plan.
    Thanx.

  • Need  help using color checker passport with photoshop CS6

    Hello all,
    I'm having an issue using the Color Checker Passport with Photoshop CS6.  Here's my configuration:
    Mac Mini using OS 10.8, but very recently updated to 10.9 (Mavericks).  My problem is the same on either OS version.
    Photoshop CS6 ver 13.0.6 64 bit extended
    Adobe Camera Raw 8.4
    X-Rite Color Checker Passport ver 1.0.2
    Canon 70D shooting RAW in sRGB color space
    NEC Multi-Sync LCD monitor calibrated with Spyder 3 Pro ver 4.0.5
    Now here's the issue.  I go through the recommended workflow and generate a profile with no problem.  Then in Camera Raw (after restarting all applications) I apply the profile to a photograph and instead of getting a nice color-corrected image my image has a greenish-yellow tint to it.  It's very noticeable and I haven't been able to figure out what I'm doing wrong, if anything.  I re-calibrated the monitor, re-did the workflow with other pictures, but still get the same result.
    I greatly appreciate any help or ideas on how to remedy this.  I've sent an inquiry to X-Rite via their Support Web Page, but haven't heard back from them yet.
    Thanks,
    Kevin H.

  • Really Getting Back into Photoshop, What Should I Read?

    Hello, all.
    I'm really getting back into Photoshop, what should I read? I just finished the Visual QuickStart Guide, and I have to admit that it has been good for getting me back up to speed quickly, but it's very, very lightweight. I've read Scott Kelby's Photoshop CS2 for Photographers, and although it's good it's too gimmicky for me. I looked at the behemoth Real World for CS2, and that is way more than I need right now.
    Is there anything substantial that would fit between the QuickStart and the Real World?
    I'm a portrait/headshot/editrial photographer. I'm in control of my color and tonality. I don't do collaging or photomerging. I use PS for blemish removal, general localized retouching (clean up stray hairs, cloning out sockets on the wall, things like that...), and some other basic things. I have CS2 at home, where I use PS the most, and CS3 at work.
    Any robust suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks so much,
    Scott

    Thanks!
    I mentioned that the Real World stuff is too intense for my level right now.
    Ben Wilmore...never heard of him. I'll have to do a little snooping...
    Eismann: you guys seem to be on to something. I like her style. I spent a long time in Borders today checking out her stuff. She has a Masking and Compositing book, a Restoration and Retouching book, and a Creative Digital Darkroom book. Not sure which one would be what I need though :(

  • Help me solve color and dark print issue with a new monitor recommendation!

    I know, I hate "surveys" too. I'm thinking of attacking my color and dark printing issues w\LR and CS4, by investing in a new monitor. I currently have an 20' early edition Apple Cinema Display. The monitor is the last hardware (software) item in my current upgrade cycle. From those folks who are NOT having color or print problems, what displays are you using (or would recommend)? Ah, and price is an issue. Apologies in advance to those who think this is not appropriate use of the Forum.

    Monitor calibration is the first port of call. Sometimes changing one item in a system is enough to show up a colour management issue. You suggest that the monitor is the last item in your upgrade cycle, what all have you changed? Computer, printer? There may also be a setting you have failed to set when you installed the new software, eg. have you remembered to set relative colorimetric with the black point compensation box ticked, disable colour management in your printer driver and put an appropriate colour profile for your monitor onto the new computer? You also need the correct profile for your printer/paper combination set up in Photoshop.
    If you haven't calibrated your monitor, that on its own will give you poor prints, but all the other bits are needed also.

  • Emac screen getting darker with time?

    ive had my emac now for a little over a yea...about 14 months to be exact. in may i noticed that the screen was getting considerably darker to the point where i could hardly see anything. so i calibrated it to lighten it up. it worked and then got even brighter and kinda back to normal. well this weekend it got seriously dark again. i recalibrated it again and now its somewhat brighter but the picture is still way to dark and looks like garbage. im very frustrated as i thought that it may just get better with time again as it did in may. any suggestions from anyone would be great!!!

  • Different Colors when printing from Photoshop and InDesign CS3

    Different Colors when printing from Photoshop and InDesign CS3
    I have the following problem:
    When printing from Photoshop or InDesign to a PostScript printer, Adobe recommends to let Photoshop handle the colors (I use the German version, so I don't know the exact term used, it changes slightly in all CS3 apps anyway).
    The manufacturer however told me to let the PostScript printer handle the colors.
    When I chose this option in Ps's print dialog and then choose ISO Coated as the printer pfofile, the results are fine.
    But when I place the exact same image in an InDesign file and print from InDesign or export to PDF and print via Acrobat, again using "Printer handles colors", the results are the exact same as if I had used Ps and chosen to let Ps handle the colors (way too saturated and a bit too red).
    ·Photoshop CS3
    ·InDesign CS3
    ·Test image is a TIFF in CMYK Fogra 27 Coated (which is also the working color space in Ps and ID.
    ·Printer: Xerox Docucolor 3535
    ·Printer profile: ISO Coated
    How can I make sure the printer handles the colors in other CS3 apps than Ps? I tried it with ID's print dialog (translated from the German version: Color Management > Options > Color Handling: PostScript-printer decides colors).
    Thanks a lot!

    RE: "You don't indicate what Xerox printers you have"
    In my first post I named it, is that the information you need?
    Docucolor 3535 using Splash 3535
    That's interesting, so I have to find a way to turn off the printer's Color Management function? I mailed them, hope they can tell me how to do it easily. They usually just tell me to not use any profiles and so on, but that's the general rule in this area, I'm really tired of hearing it. Everybody seems to think profiles and LAB mode are nuclear science and I should stay away from it.
    Anyway, the test image I'm using is a simple photograph (size A3, 300dpi), so no transparencies at all. I'm placing this image into an equally large ID file and print it from ID, then export it to PDF-X/3 and print it from Acrobat. Hope that helps.
