Photoshop cropping is causing a banding problem.

I am getting banding in the dark areas when printing. Photoshop (CS5) cropping is causing the problem. I reproduce fine art. Before the image is cropped it prints fine (no banding). For the final print I use the crop tool to crop to the edge of the painting and tilt the crop a little to straighten the painting. I am not using perspective when cropping and I am not interpolating during the crop. It is just the most basic crop with no sizing or ppi settings. The file printed after cropping shows banding.
I have spent an entire afternoon troubleshooting the problem and making countless test prints. It is definitely being caused by the cropping tool.

Try without tilting to straighten. I do not know how that can be accomplished without some sort of interpolation.  You may also want to try setting your photoshop default interpolation to other setting and try you crop and straighten process.

  • Latest PhotoShop CC upgrade causes display driver problem. How can it be solved?

    Things were working fine until I committed to the upgrade this morning, and then I got this message when I opened Ps CC:
    How can this be resolved?
    Thanks,
    Anna

    I've got a problem with my system too. Since the last update I can't use any tools to erase, paste or correct without the display going blank as soon as I start to tool on the image. It matter not what size the image is. I paid good money for this crap?

  • Adobe Photoshop CS3 has stopped working: A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.

    I recently purchased a new desktop computer and installed Adobe CS3 Master Edition on it and I get the following error:
    Adobe Photoshop CS3 has stopped working: A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
    Out of the entire suite of tools only Photoshop will not launch. The weird thing is i also had the same Adobe programs installed on my laptop and I have not made any installation updates to that machine and i am getting the same error. I have always installed the same software on my two home machines with no problem until now. Any help is appreciated.

    You'll probably going to have to uninstall, then re-install the application; but you need to provide a lot more information;
    BOILERPLATE TEXT:
    Note that this is boilerplate text.
    If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
    such as your platform (Mac or Win),
    exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
    your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
    the type of file you were working on,
    machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
    what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
    what error message(s) you receive,
    if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
    if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
    etc.,
    someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster).
    a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too.

  • Samyak Veera - Why Photoshop Crop Tool Problem?

    Yesterday, I had problem with the photoshop crop tool. It usually works fine, but suddenly it has been acting up, whenever I try and crop something it turns the image into a tiny little dot I have NO idea why. Was it a setting problem or other thing that I might have messed with? Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks Samyak Veera

    One way to fix a tool acting up is to reset it. Right-click or Ctrl-click on its' icon in the Option bar and select Reset Tool.

  • Photoshop cs4 and import to iphoto problem

    Hi to all,
    I would appreciate any help on this problem:
    I process a raw file through camera raw 5.1 in photoshop cs4 and then save it as a jpeg.
    I then try to import the jpeg file to iphoto, but iphoto says the file is unreadable and can't import it.
    In photoshop cs3 I never encountered this problem.
    The only way I can solve it is if i open the jpeg file in preview and save it again as jpeg. then i am able to import the new jpeg.
    Any ideas how to solve this?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    process a raw file through camera raw 5.1 in photoshop cs4 and then save it as a jpeg.
    I then try to import the jpeg file to iphoto, but iphoto says the file is unreadable and can't import it.
    That's because you're saving it inside the iPhoto Library package and trying to import from there. You must save all RAW edited files to the desktop or outside of the iPhoto Library package. iPhoto will not import any file located inside it's library package.
    If you use CS4 to edit jpgs from within iPhoto the following may be of help to you:
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
    If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Photoshop CS6 [ Command + Click ] Layer Selection "Problem" Solved

    Good afternoon fellas,
    I've recently noticed something uncommon when working with Photoshop CS6 under Mac OS X 10.8.x.
    When I naturally tried to select a Layer by the [ Command + Click ] (let's say) shortcut, it failed. This little thing was driving me nuts, and I know it must be getting some people hairless, too.
    Anyway(s), by looking another read-only thread, I noticed the problem has not been solved and some pretty lame recommendations were given. By try, I finally found the solution and was able to fix this little annoyance that maybe we've all been through. So here it goes the workaround, so maybe you'll never consider downgrading to 5.5 again like I was considering:
    1) In Photoshop, make sure the Move Tool is selected by pressing "V";
    2) In the tool's submenu, forget about selecting/marking "Auto-Select". I know it sounds nonsense, trust me;
    3) Although, make sure "Layer" is selected right next to the "Auto-Select" button, and you should be done as I am.
    Hope this can help a few people! I would be very happy to know, since I just created this account to help you guys out.
    I don't know if this issue has been solved and posted already, I'm sorry. I just want to make sure we'll be all happy!
    Cheers,
    "Let it go, Jack."

    Did you actually took a look into Photoshop CS 6 before posting?
    Been using Photoshop since legacy 6.0.
    This was one feature that started off without being able to enable/ disable 'auto-select' sometime in 2003-2004 releases which was later appended to newer versions of Photoshop.
    I see your screenshot and I'm aware there is a 'tick' mark that appears next to Layer or Group when you choose either of them.
    But, without enabling 'auto-select', the selection you make in that dropdown will not have any effect.
    Try it for yourself.
    Create a new document
    Create any layer (rectangle, ellipse, whatever)
    Once created, deselect all layers (layers panel should not highlight any layer)
    Disable auto select. Choose 'Layer' from dropdown. Single click on the layer you just created. See what Photoshop says
    Now enable auto select. Choose 'Layer' from dropdown. SIngle click on the layer you just created. See what happens in Photoshop (Layers Panel)
    Cause I really wouldn't waste my time posting something wrong.
    I didn't say you posted something wrong. Neither would I be 'wasting' my time in responding to a post that I feel is incorrect. End of the day, this is a community and we're here to help each other and at no time should other fellow members be deceived by incorrect information.

  • Banding problems with CS3 at 100% zoom

    Just upgraded from CS2 to CS3: I always shoot in RAW, then zoom in 100% in RAW converter to check quality. I also work in 16 bit and using CS2 the tonal gradation is brilliant. However the same photo opened with CS3 Bridge shows banding when I zoom in. Same happens when I convert and open the image in Photoshop. Great in CS2, banding appears in CS3.
    Anyone else having this problem?

    Thanks for the reply Christopher. I did check colour settings, but good idea. I'm happy to say I've resolved it myself, having wasted 2 days with the Adobe support line.
    Figured it had to be something to do with the screen so changed to a higher resolution and that seemed to cure it. Even so, I thought somethings not right. Read the 'Readme' notes more carefully and spotted the paragraph about updating my graphics card driver. I did this and now seems to be working fine.

  • Crop effect causes error compiling movie

    when we render a timeline, every time it gets to a title that has a crop effect on it - it causes the rendering in the media encoder to stop because "error compiling movie". Definately it is because of the crop effect - since when removed - everything is OK. There is enough memory, disk space... Does anyone have a solution or an idea?
    Thank you.

    Dear Bill,
    So we figured it out how to solve it.
    The problem was that this problem occurred when implementing it on track num. 30. From track 30 and higher, the crop effect causes this problem. when we took the same titles, in the same sequence and lowered it to, say, track (video track) 25 - everything rendered OK.
    Have you ever encoutered such a phenomena?
    Best,
    Oded

  • Pixelated gradient banding problem

    Hi, I've found that Photoshop CS4 has just developed a problem where gradients become pixelated and produce banding like in the image below.
    This was produced by making repeated marks in the same place with a brush at 24% opacity.
    I've also noticed banding in gradients.
    I've been trying to research it and all of this has only just started to occur today, so I don't imagine it has anything to do with my monitor setup (particularly because of the pixelation), which is a commonly suggested answer.
    This document setup was 8-bit, RGB Color mode, 72 dpi.
    Thanks

    Hello.   
    I just bought a Dell u2410 Ultrasharp verA02 and it's more like UltraBanding.  At least I notice the banding much more on this monitor than on my older 19" samsung. In fact I didn't even notice the banding at all on that monitor. Tomorrow I will go back and check it again to make sure.
    So are you all sure that it is not a monitor problem and more of a software / bit problem? Because when I switched my painting to 16 bit in Photoshop (CS3) I had the exact same banding problems (I was painting in RGB mode but in a range of gray values). You can see it really heavy on the grays! It's so unbelievably frustrating! Any help other than what has been offered thus far would be greatly appreciated.

  • Having network profiles is causing so many problems with applications

    Perhaps someone could explain this to me, because i must be doing something wrong.
    We have 10.4.6 client machines, and a 10.4.6 server. They login and their profiles are on the server and accessed via AFP, ok all is well there.
    But ever since Tiger (Panther never had this problem) having network profiles causes so many problems with applications. Here are just some examples:
    1. MS Office 2004 programs will sometimes say all the system fonts are corrupted when they are not. The only way to fix this is to log the user out and delete the Microsoft preferences folder from their network profile from the server. Doing it from the client doesn't work unless you get them to logon in safe boot.
    2. Office 2004 will also randomly not save documents or autorecovery files, claiming that "too many files are open" or that the disk is full, when their profiles have 100s of megabytes left.
    3. Safari will randomly stop working. When you load up Safari it will load up websites all distorted, and then eventually give up and force quit. The only way to fix this is...again deleting the Safari preferences from the server whilst the client is logged off.
    4. Adobe Photoshop files will randomly corrupt, causing "End of file" errors when files are opened.
    Now i've narrowed it down to the basic fact that the clients are using network profiles via AFP. I've experimented them logging onto the server and using local profiles and the programs all work perfectly. My setup is exactly the same as it was on Panther, and panther had none of these problems.
    Surely i am not the only one who is experiencing this?

    Do you have the "Inherit Permissions" option via POSIX access enabled for the home directory share point? If so, disable it, as home directories need standard POSIX permissions.
    I've seen some problems with third-party applications - namely Adobe CS2 - when using network homes mounted via AFP. Others have reported problems with Office 2004. There are other oddities, even observable in the Finder, mostly due to changes that enabled metadata (Spotlight) for AFP. However, never have I seen Apple applications like Safari not work correctly with network homes; thus, there might be another problem here.
    I'd check the filesystems for all volumes on the server using Disk Utility and repair any damage found.
    You may want to consider using Portable Homes for better compatibility with Office 2004 (unfortunately).

  • Since 2012 I have Photoshop Elements always worked without any problem, however now the language is suddenly German how can this be changed, removed the program and re-installed, not working. Program is downloaded and updated via the apple app store?

    I've done some research on the SQLite database. Whenever Aperture hangs up (like during auto-stack or opening the filter hud) there are thousands of SQLite queries happening. These SQLite queries cause massive file I/O because the database is stored on the disk as 1kb pages. However, the OS is caching the database file; mine's only 12MB. I'm trying to track down some performance numbers for SQLite on osx but having trouble.
    It's starting to look like most of the speed problems are in the libraries that Aperture uses instead of the actual Aperture code. Of course, that doesn't completely let the developers off the hook since they choose to use them in the first place.
    Oh, and if anyone is curious, the database is completely open to queries using the command line sqlite3 tool. Here's the language reference http://www.sqlite.org/lang.html
    Hmm, just found this. Looks like someone else has been playing around in the db http://www.majid.info/mylos/stories/2005/12/01/apertureInternals.html

  • Is XML Publisher causing shared memory problem..?

    Hi Experts,
    Since this week, many of the Requisition/PO are erroring out with the below errors or similar to these errors:
    - ORA-04031: unable to allocate 15504 bytes of shared memorny ("sharedpool","PO_REQAPPROVAL_INIT1APPS","PL/SQL MPCODE","BAMIMA: Bam Buffer")
    ORA-06508: PL/SQL: could not find program unit being called.

    Process Error: ORA-06508: PL/SQL: could not find program unit being called
    Few days back we were getting heap memory error for one of the XML Publisher report.
    I heard that XML Publisher requires lot of memory for sources/features,So I want to know whether XML Publisher can be one of the cause for memory problem to occur or this shared memory is not related with XML Publisher sources at all.
    Please advice.
    Many thanks..

    As I am a beginner in this so dont know much about this.. Can you please guide me on this.
    DBAs has increased the shared memory and problem has resolved but here I am more concrened whether the XML Publisher was or can be one od the cause for shared memory problem. Is there any way to check that or this occurs randomly and we can not check this.
    Please advice something.

  • I can't view multiple images in tabbed panels in photoshop CC (do not have this problem in PS5 or 6)

    I can't set up multiple images in tabbed panels in photoshop CC (do not have this problem in PS5 or 6). Has anyone had this problem with CC and if so do they know the fix?

    I just discovered something really weird.  If I open the images in
    photoshop (and the tabs are not showing) and then open another window on
    top of photoshop (for example word or safari) , then the images and tabs
    show in the photoshop window.  But if I move Pshop to the front screen then
    the tabs disappear!
