Photoshop CC imports images Grainy

I have had Photoshop CC and have found large images (both RAW and JPEG) import really grainy. This hasnt happened with previous Photoshops ive owned.
when i scale the image size down it seems to remove most of the grain.
ive found one other thread talking about this but they ended up agruing about termonolgy. Im not really keen for that.
anyone have any ideas or found this issue themselves?

Here is a raw file
but when i resize it smaller, it is perfectly fine... as seen below.

  • Import images edited in LIghtroom 4 into Photoshop Elements 11.

    I wnat to import images I have edited in Lightroom into Photoshop Elements.  It will only allow me to import the original RAW file and not the XMP Sidecar file.  I get the message "File type not supported.  Can anyone help?  John

    The usual method is not  to start Elements, and then try to get ("import") the edited image from LR (or, from disk). This is a more laborious approach, also limiting: for example you cannot externally edit a LR "virtual copy" this way.
    LR is designed to be the front-end, which  pushes  the LR-edited image out to Elements on demand (which will then be started up automatically, with the relevant image already opened for you). Doing it this way, the edited image then appears back in LR by itself, afterward, and the whole process is convenient. You can go back and edit the same image further, again using LR as your single access point to the image - both for LR adjustments and for Photoshop alterations.
    The standard "Edit in Photoshop / Edit in Photoshop Elements" method tries to work via ACR. This does not require saving .XMP files to disk, btw.
    It is also possible to force LR to render the file itself, which removes any issues of ACR compatibility, and employs the full gamut of LR function "up front" when starting an external edit. All Elements (or whatever) then needs to be able to do, is open up a readymade standard TIFF (or PSD).
    One way to force that is via dialog options, though the options presented do vary depending on the situation.
    Another way is to set up an external editing preset (in LR Preferences / external editing tab). This records a given combination of file attributes and program to be used (by browsing to the image editor program file), and is saved under a name. This name appears in the context menu (Edit In... submenu) and can be used directly thereafter.

  • Photoshop Touch for phone ... LG 4X HD not import images

    Hello
    I bought Photoshop Touch for phone ... on your LG 4X HD does not work import images from the gallery. The program crashes - black screen.

    I am using the scribble selection tool to isolate a a person in a photo.  Then I inverse the selection and desaturate - and I have tried just using the black and white adjustment - the rest of the photo. The problem comes when I inverse back to the person and try to adjust the selection. I can usually do one adjustment,  then it crashes on the second adjustment.  It has crashed everyone I have tried a this with different images and after resetting my phone
    My ram was about a gb when this last happened.  I am using a galaxy note 2.

  • Having an imported image show in Illustrator as it shows in photoshop ?

    Hello,
    I'm having problems with the appearance of imported images in Illustrator:
    I first created an image in Photoshop that I planned on using as a background for an illustration,
    and then import it in Illustrator.
    Once imported in Illustrator, it doesn't look the same at all…
    I'm running on Mac os 10.8.5 and Illustrator and Photoshop cc.
    Here is a sample of how different it looks.…
    Left, illustrator, right, photoshop.
    Both files in Photoshop and Illustrator are RVB (also tried with both in CMYK).
    I tried importing jpg, tifs, psd… same problem.
    I tried importing the imported image in a new Illustrator file. Same problem.
    No effect is applied to the image, it is just imported and that's all.
    Any ideas on what is happening?
    Thanks in advance for your answers!
    Keth.

    In Illustrator look in preferences for the option "Smooth Bitmap images in Preview" (or the like, I'm not sure about the wording) and select it.

  • My photoshop CC has suddenly stopped importing images and twain imprt too

    Hi I have a subscription to creative cloud. My photoshop cc has stopped importing images.
    When I try to bring an imagin into a PS layer PS suddenly quits on me. I windows message
    comes up saying PS will now close.  What to do?
    Upgrade to 2015 or reinstall? Or what...
    Thanks,
    Joe

    Two things to try:
    Reset Preferences  Hold down Ctrl-Shift-Alt while starting Photoshop and say yes to the reset.
    If that doesn't work, Uninstall/Clean/Reinstall.
    Use the CC Cleaner here. Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    It will delete any corrupt files or registry errors that the uninstaller missed, and then you can re-install.

  • Importing images with Lightroom 2  & Camera RAW 4.5

    The following query has been raised with Adobe Technical Support (5 days ago and I am still waiting for a response/reply. They claim to reply within 24 hours but they have not on this occasion......they seem to be ignoring me
    Perhaps a fellow user can help to identify or resolve the problem.
    Operating System:
    Windows XP Professional (Service Pack 3)
    Software:
    Adobe Design Premium CS3 (10.0.1); Photoshop Lightroom 1.4 (which was working fine) and Lightroom 2 (on trial and not working particularly well)
    I am using a trial download of Photoshop Lightroom 2 (with Camera RAW 4.5 in Photoshop CS3).
    I am having a few problems with editing Lightroom 2 images in Photoshop CS3 but I understand that Adobe is currently investigating a solution to this problem.
    I have also noticed another potential problem since I have started to import images from a computer drive to Lightroom 2 and converting the Manufacturers RAW files to DNG (with the option to leave the files at their current location/drive).
    My RAW and JPEG files open ok in Camera RAW (v 4.5) for basic editing and subsequently to Photoshop for more detailed work. The problem is that all my images are now opening as Smart Objects by default in Photoshop CS3, as opposed to opening as a Background layer". (I have not knowingly opted to use the Open as Smart Object option.
    I am not entirely sure how this came about but I have also lost the capacity to edit images with empty Levels adjustment layers or percentage (%) grey fill option).
    I am able to highlight the respective layer and create the empty Levels adjustment layer, change the blend mode to either Multiply or Screen, fill the Layer Mask with Black (Alt & backspace), change the opacity level as desired, select the brush tool and change the foreground colour to white to enable the applicable Dodge or Burn processes.
    Unfortunately, it does not function irrespective of the preferred opacity level. The Dodge or Burn feature is static with no effect on the image.
    I cannot recall any settings to open all files as Smart Objects in Photoshop CS3 but would welcome some help in identifying such a setting if it exists. Alternatively, I would welcome any other suggested methods of correcting the above difficulties.
    The same difficulties are evident when I try to use the Dodge or Burn features via the Edit and Fill option with a percentage of Grey and the Overlay Blend Mode.
    The "Common Denominator" of the above difficulties appear to be Lightroom 2 and Camera RAW 4.5 (individually and or collectively) and now I am stuck between a rock and a hard place.
    Are any other users experiencing similar issues or have any suggestions about how I might correct or resolve these problems? ......
    I am not afraid of hearing or accepting that the "Dummy Factor" has played some part or how I may release myself from the said "Dummy Factor".....any help is welcome help.
    Adobe Technical Support seems to be ignoring me......I wonder why?
    Regards
    Bob Wallace

    Essentially you are wrapping the raw image data into a special type of layer, a "smart object". You can then revisit and fine tune the Camera Raw conversion as often as you want and take advantage of working directly on the raw data in its pre-Photoshop purity. You can also apply to this smart object layer a number of Photoshop adjustments and filters - and again redo and fine tune them as often as you wish.
    You'll find them explained in a number of recent books. I know Scott Kelby is keen on them, there are examples on Russell Brown's site, and my own book last year on B&W strongly advocated their use.
    Have a play.

  • When I open my RAW files in Photoshop CC they are grainy and the JPEGS are not. What is going on? It doesn't seem to have anything to do with my CACHE levels either.

  • Is there a way to import images that have been edited and assign them to the original?

    I am transitioning to mac and aperture. Is there a way to import images that have been edited and assign them to the original? I have 10,000 originals and about 2,000 edited images. The originals are named img_XXXX and anything modified img_XXXX_modified. I would like to be able to import the originals and then import the edited versions and assign them to the original masters. Instead of starting from here and going forward with 12,000 masters, some of which are actual originals and others not. Thanks for the help.

    Ah, the vestiges of a destructive workflow! Once you "get" Aperture, (specifically Masters and Versions) you are going to love it, as all of this work goes away - the relationship that you seek to retain is automatic in Aperture; it is simply done differently.
    The short answer to your question is EVERY image file that is Imported into Aperture will create a new Master and one Version. Assuming that your images are PSD/TIFF/JPEG that you created in something like Photoshop, then each one that your import will be a new Master. You have many options:
    -- Stick the originals in one Project(s) and the edited versions in another Project(s).
    -- Stick them all in the same Project(s) and "Stack" them.
    But here is the real question: Why are you doing all of this work and what are you trying to accomplish? Seems you are trying to preserve old things that don't need preserving in a non-destructive workflow.
    So, what is most valuable to you?
    -- The original, out of camera files? (That is, the fear/need to revert.)
    -- The edited versions? (That is the hours of work that it took you to get there.)
    If the former, import the originals and ignore the edited versions. (Either simply leave them out on disk or import them into their own Projects which you ignore.) Use Aperture to recreate the work you had done previously. This will always give you the ability to revert to the original Master and create as many Versions as you want. This is the best idea if your edits are relatively simple crops and exposure adjustments,
    If the latter, then import the edited versions and do as above with the originals. This makes more sense if your work uses lots of layers and, perhaps lots of clone tool type corrections.
    Of course, you can do a bit of both.
    Others may have better suggestions, but you will find it easy to answer your own question when you understand an image based, as opposed to a file based, non-destructive workflow.
    Good luck!

  • How to set up EPSON Scan 3.07 to work in Adobe Photoshop CS6 Import window in Mac OS 10.9.4 Mavericks

    Photoshop CS6 will not allow me to scan pictures with my EPSON Perfection 2480 PHOTO scanner like it did when I used Photoshop CS2. Although I downloaded the newest driver (EPSON Scan 3.07A), and placed it's plugin directly into Photoshop CS6 Plug-ins Folder, it is still not showing up in the Import/ Import Images from Device menu option. Is there a way to get this to work? Granted, I am able to use EPSON Scan outside of Photoshop, but I'd rather just scan while in Photoshop CS6. (I am using on a Mac using OS X version 10.9.4 Mavericks.)

    Definitely read this article: Get your scanner to work with Photoshop CS6 | Macworld
    More than likely your Twain driver is 32-bit and Photoshop CS6 is pure 64-bit. So you should look at the ideas in this article.

  • Imported image is tiny

    Hello, I have a photoshop file with 72 dpi, 800 x 600 pixels (basic wallpaper design).
    I'm importing an image that is 1200 x 700 pixels, stock image purchased from iStock. I double checked the image in Windows picture preview software, and it says it's 1200 x 700 pixels.
    I'm click-dragging the image from Windows Explorer directly into my Photoshop file. When I let go of my mouse button, the image appears as a new layer but at about 25% of it's original size: ~300 x 200 pixels. But Photoshop says the image is at 100% scale!
    I scaled the image back to it's 1200 x 700 pixel size (300% scale according to Photoshop), and it looks normal (non-pixelated). If I scale beyond this, it starts to look pixelated as one would expect.
    Any idea why Photoshop is showing incorrect scaling percentages?
    Thanks!

    Try dragging it to the border in Photoshop, then manipulating it entirely in Photoshop (e.g., using Select All, Copy, Paste).
    It may have to do with the resolution metadata stored in the image you're importing.
    As I recall there's a preference that attempts to match resolution when placing images directly on documents...  Edit - Preferences - General, Resize Image During Place.

  • How to animate imported images?

    Hi, I'm new to Premiere. I've imported a PSD file with full alpha transparency. It shows a mobile phone being held, as if from a first-person perspective and is being used in a scene that is filmed in first-person.
    On the phone, I want the screen's image to change, perhaps at certain specified keyframes. I know for an animated image I could import a GIF, but that format does not support alpha.
    In short, how can I make an imported image - that's used in Video 2 on top of Video 1 - change itself to an image of the exact same resolution at specified times?

    Change the image on the phone in Photoshop instead. Ohotoshop Extended has a timeline, or you could just import multiple copies of the phone image into Premiere Pro and use them as you need them.

  • Imported Image Resolution

    I know there is a simple fix to this, but I'm stumped. When I'm importing images into Ill CS3, their resolution is always poor. I've tried upping the doc raster effects settings, trying different file types, etc. What am I missing?

    >I created a 300 x 300 pixel image in Photoshop at 300 ppi resolution, 8 bit (RGB). When I place this image in Illustrator, it is tiny and the Transform palette tells me it is 72 x 72 pixels.
    Illustrator is not a raster-based application. Vector-based programs do not create documents with any intrinsic resolution. As such, Illustrator honors placed image
    i size.
    When you use pixels as the document unit, Illustrator assumes 72 pixels to the inch for the purposes of Web work.
    A 300 x 300 pixel image saved at 300 ppi sizes to 1" square, and that
    i size
    is what Illustrator assumes you want. If you use pixels as your unit of measure, the ruler, transform palette, etc., will show the placed image as having dimensions of 72 x 72 pixels, and if you Save For Web, you will, in fact, get a downsampled image with those pixel dimensions.
    If you were creating a layout for press output, you'd bring your images in after sizing them appropriately in Photoshop. You might use 240ppi or 300ppi, but what's important is the
    i size.
    Since Illustrator documents have no inherent resolution (ppi), it's the
    i size
    that is maintained.
    >When I draw a 300 x 300 pixel square in Illustrator, the square is the size I expect the placed image to be.
    Then save your image at 72, not 300, ppi.

  • PSE 10 organizer displays SAMSUNG CAMERA PICTURES title for every imported image.   How to eliminate?

  • Importing images makes them blurry and jaggy

    Yes I have seen other posts on this. They were helpful and I progressed, but imported images still aren't right. I'm sure there must be just one small thing I'm doing wrong. Please help!
    I imported DV NTSC footage (720x480, 0.9091 PAR). I have screenshots from Powerpoint slides that I want to overlay.
    In Premiere they are blurry and jaggy. As you can see the original footage is fine, but when it's dropped in a sequence it's bad:
    The interpretation seems to be okay:
    I've created it correctly in Photoshop.You can see below that the file is 720x480px and I have the DV PAR set:
    My output is for computer screens so when I export from DV to H.264 I select Field Order: None. But I noticed that if I export with Field Order: Lower the screenshot/image looks good. However the rest of my DV footage looks interlaced, so I need Field Order set to none.
    Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong? It shouldn't be this hard to get sharp looking images into Premiere!
    Thanks.

    If it looked crappy in Premiere while building up the video I wouldn't care. It's the fact that it also looks like that in the exported that's the problem.
    I'm sure it's some small thing I'm doing wrong like getting the framesize or PAR wrong, except that it's not those settings.
    Any other ideas?
