Photoshop 7.0 Wierdness

I use Photoshop 7.0 primarily for drawing. I'm currently working on a monotone drawing that must be reproduced in different "tints".
My issue is that a file I created of an image in a brown tint is about 10X as big as several other files of the same image in different tints.
The image with the brown tint (RGB mode) is 95Mb when files of the same image in the same color mode but with different tints (red, purple, blue) are only 10Mb.
Why the discrepancy in filesize when everything (size, transparency, location, color mode, etc) but the tint is exactly the same?

The original drawing was colored with blacks and grays. I then put the final colored drawing and line art as one layer into a new file, and got rid of the "background" layer.
I then went to channels and loaded channel as a selection and on a new layer, filled in the selection with a solid color. What this did is turn the blacks that color at 100% opacity with grays coming in as that color at a lower opacity.
I did this for each new color/tint on a new layer.
When saving, I simply deleted the original gray-tone drawing and colors I did not want, leaving me with the colored layer I did as well as a solid color layer beneath - the color of the surface the image would be printed on.
All of those files were 8-bit images, RGB mode, 3300 X 6000px, 300dpi, 2 layers (the translucent drawing and the surface color), saved as .psd files, boxes layers, icc profile, and lower-case extensions all checked.
While not all exactly the same file size, they were pretty close, ranging from 10-10.2Mb.
The "brown tint" file was created at a later date, but using the same process (from start to finish) and same options. Everything that I have thought to have checked, including the suggestions above are exactly the same.
It's file size is 95Mb. And it makes no sense to me why.
I even copied and pasted the images into new files without the background layer, and the brown tint file size is about 5X as big as the rest.

  • Photoshop 7.0 wierd text problem

    I have the good old Photoshop 7.0 on my powerbook G4, and it was working perfectly fine, until one day, when I dragged a text box, the background turned allreddish and it stilled typed fine, but when I was done, and went to the select tool and tried to move it, #1: it hadn't made it's own layer, it appeared to be part of the background, so I couldn't move it with the select tool, #2: It had the little "selected" lines around each letter, like when you drag a box with the box thing, you know, those moving B&W lines...
    Also, the brush tool worked just like the pencil tool, so there's definitely something wrong. Is this just what old photoshop does, o is there some setting I can change, or what?

    Sounds like the Document Color Mode was set to Index (as in a gif).
    Try Image > Mode > RGB.

  • Created file in illustrator then opened in photoshop but color code changed?

    I Created file in illustrator and then opened the art in photoshop but the wierd thing is that the color code changed. If you look at the image with you eye the color will look the same to the naked but if you use the eye dripper tool you can see that the color code has changed between illustrator and photoshop.
    Is there a way to make the CMYK color code stay the same?

    In Illustrator the "Edit---> color settings" are set to "North America General Purpose 2" and the that is the same color setting choice in Photoshop.
    For example there is a black color in Illustrator that has this CMYK code "60, 49,47, 100"
    but in photoshop the CMYK code for the same part of the graphic changes to "75, 68, 67, 90"
    This is only one example of many color code changes that are happening and this may look like the same color on the screen but I need them to both have the same code because I am doing specialized printing and need no changes in color codes like this to occur.
    If I have the color setting in both photoshop and illustrator both set exactly the same "Edit---> color settings" then do you know why this color shift would be happening. Please help.

  • Edit with errors

    I'm trying to "edit with" (i.e. right click on an image link, select edit with> photoshop CS4) images with Indesign CS4 and Photoshop CS4.
    Wierdly my system opens powerpoint and tries to edit with powerpoint instead (it fails obviosuly)
    Any idea what is going on and how to solve it?

    I am developing a plugin for adobe InDesign CS4.
    From my plugin, when I select a link and right click on it, I am getting "Edit Original" and "Edit with" options.
    But the "Edit with" option doesn't list the applications.
    I am able to edit the link using "Edit Original".
    The code I mentioned is not able to get the list of applications in the appList array.
    currently I am doing the below in LinkResource Handler::CanEditResource().
    AppInfoList appList;
    UIDRef LinkSelectedInLayout = Utils<ILinksUIUtils>()->GetSingleLinkUIDRefSelectedInLayout();
    if(LinkSelectedInLayout.GetUID() != kInvalidUID)

  • Really wierd stains when inserting photoshop files into my indesign document

    Dear Indesigners,
    I had encountered this problem before. Then I exported the file as JPEG and printed from there on.
    But now it really bothers me what adobe is doing.
    I am creating a birthcard. There for I designed the background (in indesign with simple lines & circles). Photo with ribbon I designed in photoshop. The circle pattern around the picture is also in Indesign.
    Whenever I print this file from indesign I get really wierd stains on my Photoshop part of the document.  You can verify this in the attachment.
    If I export this and print from there, the stains are nowhere to be seen.
    Is this some weird setting that I have looked over? The Photoshop document is in CMYK format.
    This is the export file:
    This is the scanned, printed file (increased contrast)

  • Photoshop CS4 wierd color issue

    Hi,
    When I paste something into photoshop cs4 it seems that the colors are washed out or a little off. I noticed this one day when I was working and I haven't been able to fix it since. I even deleted the photoshop profile which didn't seem to fix the problem. How can I reset all of the color settings/presets.
    http://homepages.wmich.edu/~m6newton1/washed%20out.bmp
    I also don't know if this helps but... When I do a "save for web," the preview there shows the correct color. But when I open up the file it produces with MS Paint/Windows Image Previewer it shows a washed out version.
    Any suggestions are welcome, Thank you for your time.

    Bart's only partly right here. What's going on is that you haven't activated the color management in Firefox, and since it's now showing you "monitor RGB" any difference between your working space and your monitor space will show up.
    Photoshop doesn't show the difference because it uses both the working space profile AND your monitor profile to display your file. Setting your Photoshop RGB working space to your monitor profile effectively hides the problem by forcing Ps to act like a non color managed app, but doesn't really fix it.
    Make sure that your web destined files are in sRGB, that you embed that profile in your images, and you turn on the color management in Firefox. At least you're not using IE which doesn't even have that option.
    The last part of the equation here is the type of monitor you are using. sRGB is the standard for the web and until recently most monitors WERE more or less sRGB. Now, with more and more wide gamut LCD screens available, it gets even more confusing as your "monitor rgb" is no longer close to sRGB, making color management in web browsers and image browser all the more necessary.
    Your problem is pervasive today and one of the most complained about problems out there. Understanding basic color theory explains it, but users need to insist that application vendors implement profile awareness in their products. It's only going to get worse going forward.

  • Wierd exclamation point message when round tripping back from Photoshop?

    I have been using Photoshop CS3 for sharpening and other edits and have been hitting save (or just using a sharpening automation thing which saves the photo automatically) and I find that when I look at the new image in Lightroom it has an exclamation point, which when clicked says something like: "The metadata for this photo has been changed by another application. What would you like to do?" The options are "use disk metadata" "do nothing" or "overwrite" (I'm paraphrasing here).
    First, does anyone know why I am getting this message? Second, what should I do when I get it? I've been selecting "overwrite" but I have no idea, really, what this whole dialog is about! Third, is there any way to NOT get this message?
    Many thanks for your help!

    Use Lr's help facility; it contains this entry:
    Update photos changed by another application
    In the Grid view, Lightroom displays alerts in image cells when the photos in your library have been changed by another application. For example, if a photo has a one star rating in Lightroom, and the photo has been updated to a two star rating in another application, you need to decide which rating to respect. Both cannot co-exist together. Lightroom lets you resolve conflicting photo metadata by either overwriting its data in the library with metadata from the photo or its sidecar XMP file, or overwriting the metadata in the photo file or sidecar XMP file with its stored data in the library database.
    1. In the Grid view, double-click the alert icon in a cell.
    2. In the Confirm dialog box, click one of the following:
    Import Settings From Disk Imports the metadata from the photo or its sidecar XMP file, which overwrites the photos data in the library database.
    Overwrite Settings Exports metadata from the library database to the photo file and overwrites the data in the photo or its sidecar XMP file.
    Do Nothing Takes no action. If you select this option, be sure that the photos metadata in the library database doesnt conflict with data in the photo or its sidecar XMP file.

  • Photoshop Elements 11 not responding in a wierd way

    So Ive been using elements 11 for over a year now with no problems and suddenly it has stopped working. it started when I recently opened a photo to crop it and when i was using the crop tool, it wouldn't let me move the crop area with the mouse like it usually dose, so i thought it was cause the layer was set to background, so i exited the tool and tried to unlock the layer and it wouldn't unlock, so then i tried reopening the file and opening other file types of the same picture but now nothing opens. the software is still responsive and i can change tools and open up menus and settings but i can't open ANY files now, when i try and open files with "open with" or go though bridge it still just opens the program but never opens the file. Ive looked for answers but can't find anyone else with the exact same problem, and i have tried deleting the preferences setting file, didn't help.

    First, in the Editor, go to Edit>Preferences, click this button and restart the editor:

  • Adobe Photoshop CS3 MSI Error

    Hello,
    I have been getting the wierd error when I try to install Adobe Photoshop CS3 using the MSI package that I created.
    Could not write value data to key \SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Schedule\Handshake\{GUID}. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key or contact your support personel.
    This error happens regardless of who is trying to install the MSI pacakage (regular account or Administrator). I even tried to give explicit permission to the regkey, however OS prevents me to do so. I would really appreciate if any of you have seen this error and guide me.
    Thank you in advance.
    Dipu

    "using the MSI package that I created."
    Have you tried installing without that, it may be a problem there.
    "regular account or Administrator"
    Have you tried creating a new account or using the actual 'Administrator' account (not an account with Administrative permissions)?

  • Photoshop CS4 smart object template just overwrote a raw file - HELP

    So.  I've been working in Photoshop extensively for about 6 years now and I am well aware that nothing we do in Photoshop or Lightroom is supposed to overwrite a raw file.  I'm not talking about changing it to something a little lighter or darker, I'm talking about replacing a picture of one baseball player with another one - and the original? Gone. 
    Here's what happened: I have a poster template that contains several layers, 7 of which are smart objects.  I change the pictures in the template by right-clicking the smart object layer and selecting "replace smart object," browsing to the new image, selecting, and here is what SHOULD happen: the target picture opens in Adobe camera raw, I make some small edits, click done or okay or something similar, and that new image has replaced the old one in the template.  What DID happen was this: I followed the procedure above and selected my target raw file, the picture that was already in the template (the one I was trying to replace with my target file) opened in Adobe camera raw.  I thought - Hey, that's wierd!  Closed the ACR dialog and tried again.  Same thing happened.  I opened lightroom and saw - to my HORROR - that the target file had been changed to the same image that was in the template.
    If it clarifies: pictures of player A (who played in 2009) is in all of the smart object layers in my template.  I want to make that poster be of player B (who played in 2012) so I begin replacing all the smart objects.  When I get to the 3rd image in the poster template, Photoshop overwrites my raw file of player B with the smart object photo of Player A.  There were no photos of player A on the network drive that the picture of Player B was on.  But there's one now.  My raw file shows that it was modified about 10 minutes ago. 
    We tried undoing in Photoshop.  That did nothing.  We tried deleting the xmp file.  That did nothing.  We removed it from the lightroom catalog and reimported it.  It is now a picture of Player A from 2009 and my picture of Player B from 2012 is just gone. 
    Anybody have any idea what this could be and how we could avoid it in the future?
    Best,
    Jamey

    Now - JJ - when you say "overlay files" - what do you mean?  Because that feels like a good description for what happened.
    We performed no save operation at any point during the sequence of events that ended with the image in one raw file being replaced by the image in the smart object.
    As I wrote Smart Object layers embedded object is a copy of the original  and if you replace it you replace it with a copy of some other object. Embedded object are copies and independent from the original.  If after creating a smart Object layer who's embedded object is a copy of a raw file and its conversion settings. You change the original RAW files RAW conversion settings the smart object layer raw conversion setting are not changes for its a copy with independent raw conversion settings. When you replace a smart object layers contents you will replace the embedded object and you should replace it with an object the has the same pixel size and orientation. Because there is an associated transform for the object in the layer that is not replaced. The replacement is also a copy.  If the original smart object was created using  File Open where you choose a RAW file  ACR would open with the RAW files current conversion settings.  In ACR you can changes the setting then hold down the shift key to change the open image button to an Open Object button.  Using that button ACR will open a smart object layer in Photoshop the contents of the embedded object is a copy of the RAW file and the current ACR settings.  No File is written Photoshop is not a File Editor its a Document editor that has many data structures for different layer types.  When you replace the contents of a smart object you will be put into a "Place" file selection dialog if you choose a raw file it should have the same orientation as the image being replaced because of the associated transform. When you choose a RAW file ACR will open and you can change the conversion settings however there will be no Open Image button instead there will be an OK button.  There is also a save image button and you can save a RAW file that is a DNG file not a CR2 file. Like the DNG converter. If you click the OK button the embedded object in the smart object layer will be replaced with a copy of the selected RAW file and the current ACR settings. Again there is no file written Photoshop is not a File editor just the embedded smart object data is replaced in Photoshop smart object layer's data structure.
    I do not think the use of smart objects in you process caused what you are experiencing and because it only happens once an a while I feel its more likely caused by some human error made during the processing in those cases. I would look elsewhere for what causing the overlay. In the place file selection dialog it is possible to rename files perhaps even by accident. Programs like LR and Bridge can rename and copy files perhaps overlay other files.

  • Photoshop Elements 4 Animation Problem

    Hey everyone.
    Sorry for posting this in the iMac forum, but there really was no other forum for my problem. I am using Photoshop Elements 4, and whenever I try to save an animated gif, I cannot edit the frame delay or loop options, they will not respond to anything, but EVERYTHING else will. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling it, and repairing permissions, and everthing else I can think of. Please help!
    Thanks

    Hmm... Well, this *****. It's wierd, I got it to animate succcessfully once, but only once, then I couldn't again. Just one more reason to wait for and buy 5 Universal when it comes out I suppose. Thanks for your help.

  • Aperture 3 and Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 problems.

    I have installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 10, which I have setup as plugin for Aperture 3. In Aperture preferences the photos are exported as 8 bit TIFF 300 DPI, no profile and automatically stack new versions selected in general.
    I right click on selected image (version) in Aperture and select edit with Elements, this create another version of the same photo in Aperture but increasing size from say 5MB to around 40MB.   The Elements programme opens in Elements editor but the selected image is not there, I can only drag it in from Aperture.   I then edit the image, then click save, it open a box save as and to a wierd folder like Uwvo2vg  etc.   I click save, get message saying it will overwrite file of same name, click save  using a unique name.   When I go back to Aperture, the edited file is not there and when I search for the unique name, nothing comes up.

    I had somewhat similar problems running Elements 10 as external editor, but under 10.6.8. The simplest fix is to send .psd's instead of .tiff. You can change that in preferences.
    If you must use .tiff (I do, becaues PTLens doesn't like psd) you have to change the file extension to .tiff in the save dialog. Elements saves as .tif and Aperture saves as .tiff. Notice the number of 'f' at end of extension.
    Here's what was happening to me, which is a little different:
    • when you send to external editor, Aperture saves a .tiff and opens it in in Elements
    • you do your work and close the file
    • Elements saves as .tif, and so doesn't overwrite the Aperture tiff.
    • Aperture doesn't know the .tif exists so it shows you the un-edited .tiff that if made at the beginning
    I get around this at the save dialog in Elements. Basically Elements goes into a Save As kind of dialog, so if I add the extra 'f' at the end, Elements asks if I want to over-write the existing file, and when I say yes the changes show in Aperture.
    If you open Elements and go to 'Recent Files' (or something like that), you can see the .tif and .tiff files together. If you delete the .tiff and add the extra 'f' to the Elements .tif, the changes will show in Aperture.
    What you shouldn't be doing is changing the name of the file in Elements. For the edits to show in Aperture you need to save the file with the same name and change the extension to .tiff. The file that Elements saves must have exactly the same name as the one Aperture made, because that's the file that Aperture knows about.
    If you do a library database repair, Aperture will find these .tifs and add them to the library, but they won't be where they should be. The show up in a recovered file folder at the bottom.
    Note that Elements 8 didn't have this kind of trouble. And note that I'm not running Lion, so some of the behaviors I describe may be different that what Lion users see.

  • I am relatively new to lightroom although i have been using photoshop for many years.

    after opening, developing and copying a selected image, i make selections in the print section but when i try to print to my 2880, the program indicates in the upper left of the screen that it is in progress, then completed, but then invariably, lightroom quits without printing.  If i instead during my developing continue with editing in photoshop and print from there, i have no problem.  What am i doing wrong to force lightroom to quit ??     hope for some help,     owlbird
