My image distorts when i load it into photoshop

hi,
have come across this problem recently. when ever i open an image in photoshop, the image is distorted. have experimented with many tools.. but no solution..
Do i have to re - install it once again??

How is it distorted?
What Photoshop version?
What OS version?
Have you updated your video card driver from the GPU maker's website?

  • Why are my photos jarbled/color-distorted when I pull them into Photoshop?

    DETAILS:
    I'm using Photoshop CC 2014.
    Photos were captured on my iPhone 5 and captured through Image Capture.
    PROBLEM:
    I dragged two photos into a Photoshop file.  The first one imported fine.  The second one came in distorted (see below).  It seems to be a corrupted version of the first photo I dragged in, that is underneath it.  When I saw the problem, I deleted the corrupted photo layer and tried to drag it in again, and it did the same thing.
    Then I realized I really liked the effect it was creating.  Every time I would transform (command T) the corrupted layer, it would redistort, with different patterns and colors (see below).  I kept doing it, trying to create different patterns.
    Eventually, the photo imported correctly, and I couldn't get the issue to reoccur.
    QUESTION:
    How can I recreate this effect?  Is there a way to corrupt/distort the colors like this intentionally?

    Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
    It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
    1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
    2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
    I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
    I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
    Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
    If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
    If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
    1. Right click images you want to share.
    2. Select Export version.
    3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
    4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
    This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
    See how you go.

  • Images in Bridge have suddenly become much brighter than when I call them into Photoshop CS6.

    Images in Bridge have suddenly become much brighter then when I call them into Photoshop CS6. My monitor is calbrated.

    First go the Bridge / Camera Raw preferences.
    Inhere under 'default image settings' are 4 options to put a checkmark in front.
    If there is a checkmark in front of "apply auto tone adjustments' deselect it and try again.
    Otherwise select one problem file and with right mouse click menu choose 'purge cache for selection'. If this works then go to menu tools / cache/ purge cache for folder.
    If still in trouble could you provide more details about versions and OS and preferable a screenshot to clarify the problem more?

  • HT1338 I have just bought a new Mac Pro after my old one died after nearly 10 years. I have most of my music backed up on CDs, but when i load them into iTunes they are only identified as Track 1, 2, etc. Can I transfer from my iPod and how?

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • "Load files into Photoshop layers" fails to complete CS6

    Hi all,
    Hoping someone can help with the folling problem with Photoshop & Bridge CS6
    When in Bridge, after selecting 6 images (CR2) using the command TOOLS>LOAD FILES INTO PHOTOSHOP LAYERS the first file will load into Photoshop, Photoshop will then generate a second blank layer and then read the second file. At this point the "script" will stop. I am left with a document with 2 layers. The top layer has my first image, the bottom layer is empty.
    At this point when I quit Photoshop I am prompted to save this open document which appears to be the only open document. I choose not to save this as a file. I then get a dialogue box prompting to save another open document. Photoshop has loaded the second file to place as a layer but as the "script" has aborted I am left with an open, but invisible file.
    When I first loaded CS6 on Snow Leopard, it would demonstrate this behaviour every time I attempted to run this command from Bridge.
    I did a clean install on a blank HDD of OSX Lion. Installed CS6. The command worked without fail for about a month.
    Then I would get the command aborting occasionally. Restarting Photoshop would let me continue for a few hours before this aborted script problem would happen again.
    Over the last week it has become more frequent, to a point where this workflow is unusable.
    A restart of Photoshop may fix the problem for the next batch of images, only to fail again soon after, or fail on the first attempt after a relaunch of Photoshop.
    A reboot of my computer will allow my to load one or two sets of files before again failing to complete the command.
    I have tried the following:
    In Photoshop preferences:
    disabling the "Use graphics Processor"
    Increasing or decreasing the amount of RAM available to Photoshop
    Changing the cache levels or changing the cache tile size
    changing the scratch disk
    Trashing the Photoshop preferences file (Photoshop Settings.psp)
    In Bridge
    Purging the cache
    Increasing or decreasing the cache size
    Resetting Bridge preferences (holding Command on launch) and deleting all cache files.
    In general system
    Quitting extra programs (Safari, Thunderbird, iTunes)
    Sometimes this will seem to then allow Photoshop to load a full set of images, only to abort again after a few sets.
    Rebooting the computer - again will work for a few images sets before again failing.
    Now the fact that it worked fine for several weeks without presenting a problem would indicate that it is not a bug.
    The fact that is slowly started happening then became more frequent would indicate something changing slowly over time - a larger cache folder perhaps, although purging known Bridge cache folders has not filed the problem.
    Really at the end of my tether here. Even considering downgrading to CS5 - but don't want to have to use the older Adobe Camera Raw.
    System is as follows:
    Mac Pro 2 x 2.66 Quad Core
    24GB RAM
    ATI Radeon HD 4870 512
    OSX Lion 10.7.4
    I have seen a couple of others have posted having a the same problem, both with CS5 and CS6.
    Hoping someone has an answer.
    Thanks.

    Hi JJMack - I just re-read your post. For some reason I thought you were suggesting to make sure "Open documents in Tabs" was selected, it was. Now I realize you were suggesting to turn it off! As another attemp to solve this problem I did de-select it today. Seemed to work for a good while. I was getting very excited, then, on the last set of images I had to do it displayed the same problem. But, it did go for quite a while without failing, and when it did I was thrashing about trying to make another app active. When loading documents like this - with "Open documents in Tabs" de-selected, Photoshop wants to put the loading images as the front-most window, no matter what other apps (Bridge, email, web etc) I click on in the dock. I think it is related to the bug you described effecting the "load files to stack" command.
    Hopefully Adobe is looking at this - mind you, I have read reports of people having this problem in CS5! Looks like that was never resolved sadly.
    I'll keep testing and post back.
    I am looking to upgrade my video card to see if it's a video memory thing.
    What is very weird though is the fact that this problem didn't present itself until after several weeks of working with this command with no problem. No additional apps installed, nothing changed. Why would it start happening only after a while?
    Thanks again for your suggestion.

  • "Load files into Photoshop layers" completely missing from Bridge CS6

    No options to load files into Photoshop layers. Why not, and how can I put several files into one Photoshop layer?

  • Why while in Bridge Load Files into photoshop Layers does not work?

    In Bridge, Tools>Photoshop>Load Files into Photoshop Layers does not work.  I have two images selected and when I execute that comman in Bridge nothing happens.  I exited and restarted both PS and Bridge and still nothing.  I am working in Windows 7 and Photoshop cs6.

    No I tried File/scripts/load file into stack and still did not work.
    There was an update to bridge and now it works.  Thanks so much.

  • "Load Files into Photoshop Layers" persistent misalignment problem

    I'm having a persistent problem which technical support was unable to resolve after being on the phone with them for 1.5 hrs.
    I'm working in Bridge CC in ACR, synchronizing all parameters incl. crop, transform, exposure, etc. of a bracketed group of images shot from a solid tripod. When using the Tools / Photoshop / Load files into Photoshop layers command, the images open in photoshop in a layered file, BUT some are knocked out of alignment. Actually they have been cropped slightly smaller than the original file, always by the same number of pixels. Sometimes all layers are affected, sometimes not. Photoshop and Bridge are both up to date, as is the camera raw plugin. I’m on a new iMac i7 4-core, OSX 10.9.4. All software was newly downloaded from Adobe less than two weeks ago. I have reset preferences, even uninstalled and reinstalled Bridge CC 6.1.0.115 to no avail. Any suggestions?

  • MISALIGNMENT PROBLEMS USING "LOAD FILES INTO PHOTOSHOP LAYERS" FROM BRIDGE CC

    I'm having a persistent problem which technical support was unable to resolve after being on the phone with them for 1.5 hrs. I was told the issue would be escalated... That was five days ago, and I've heard nothing.
    Here is the problem: In ACR working on a bracketed group of five images shot from a solid tripod in Bridge CC.

  • How do you "load files into photoshop layers" in bridge cc

    I am having difficulty following on instruction in learning photoshop cc.
    The book says to load files as layers select(in Bridge) tools/photoshop/Load files into photoshop Layers.

    Is ther another way?

  • Load Files into Photoshop Layers hanging...

    I have both Bridge CS5 4.0.4.2 and Photoshop CS5 12.0.2 x64 open and running on a MacBookPro... when I highlight a few files inside of Bridge CS5, then go to Tools, Photoshop, Load Files Into Photoshop Layers, when those files start opening in Photoshop and stacking as Layers, the process just hangs and stops processing after the first Layer is placed - any ideas why this happens, or just a bug? Thank you!

    any ideas why this happens, or just a bug?
    As I can’t reproduce the issue so I would assume it’s not a bug per se.
    Have you tried trashing prefs for Photoshop (after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed)?

  • Adobe Bridge CC 'Tools Load Files Into Photoshop Layers' missing from menu.

    Hi,
    After updated to bridge CC the 'Tools > Load Files Into Photoshop Layers' has simply disappeared from the menu! Is there a plug in that I'm missing or is this something similar to how the Output module works, where you have to install the files manually?
    Thank You

    I uninstalled all Adobe products -> reboot -> reinstall; which didn't work.
    So I had to uninstall all Adobe products again, then use the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner, reboot & reinstall everything again; then it finally worked.
    This seems to be a regular thing since the introduction of Adobe CC, almost every new update or new versions breaks functionality & requires a complete uninstall -> reinstall process.

  • How to create keyboard for Load Files into Photoshop

    does anyone know if there is a way to create or is there an existing keyboard shortcut to Load Files into Photoshop from Bridge?

    I should have been more specifc.
    Much like in bridge-tools-photoshop-load files into photoshop, I want to load multiple files into a layered photoshop document.
    Can't seem to find a keyboard shortcut for this action. Though I don't know how to write scripts very well but there are far too many keyboard shortcut posts I've searched and can't seem to find a way.
    thanks

  • Clearcut image. distortion when importing into Aperture3

    I clear cut an image in PS then pasted it into a new transparent file. Reduced the image to 600 pixels high. Saved with "web and devices" with png-24 and transparency ticked. The preview looks perfect (see example). Hit save. Go to A3 and use the import button to bring the image back into my library. However, the image has some weird things happening in the background (see example). I use this procedure all the time, putting the clipped image onto a white background but this is the first I tried a transparent one. I've tried the same process with different images but the same thing happens. Also, the same thing happens when I import the file saved as a psd. I would really appreciate any help in solving this. Thanks, bj

    Thanks c.p. The prognosis doesn't look good! Is there a way to export the image out of PS. Through MiniBridge perhaps? "Why am I trying to achieve this?" The Company I shoot wine bottles for has asked for an additional image with a transparent background for Web use (As mentioned I have previously always clearcut onto a white background). It is a major account so important for me to deliver the image. As it seems to be an A3 issue I'll post the question on Apple Discussions and see what comes up. b.j.
