Photoshop cs6 psd saved file video display is degraded from original imported file

I have had some 16mm film converted to avi 1900 by 1080 pixels, 72 pixels/inch. Photoshop displays it ok. Then when I save the file as a psd and open it again the quality of the video displayed is deteriorated from the origional. Then no matter how it is rendered, it deteriates further. I am using a windows 7 computer. I have tried this with an Nvidia Quatro 1800 card and an Nvidia Gforce 760 card.
Why does not photoshop at least keep the quality of the video as origional in a psd file? I can understand offering to degrade the display for faster display, but not the rendering degradation. I have tried rendering at H.264 High Quality and DPX full range 8 bit, they both degrade the quality, even though the origional avi file is also 8 bit depth. Rendering degrades the colors considerably.
Where can I get information on what is going on in photoshop 6 as to how to control how it saves a psd file and more control of the rendered color depth?

I have to make a lot of color corrections because this is film taken from the early 40s to the early 50s. I tried doing it in Avid Studio, Pinnicle studeo and Corel Draws Video Studeo which is what Avid Studio became. None of them alow for the amount of correction allowed in Photoshop. I already owned Photoshop 5 so I upgraded to 6 to take advantage of its advances in video. The plan was to break the converted files up in smaller peices so that Photoshop could handle it and use Premier Pro perhaps to do other post production editing. The origional avi files are a movie about 1 hr and 15 min long and another one about 45 min long. The CODEX is MJPG in avi.

    I am trying to save a photoshop CS6 psd file to jpg and get an option jpg, jpg2000 or jpg stereo, I choose jpg and then Mac 256 colours, normal or interlaced.  I just want regular jpg with a high resolution.  What am I doing wrong?  , never had this problem before.  Help!!! 

    Your description of the issue is not clear:
    What format, bit depth and color was your original file "from the net"?  It sounds like it was a Color Indexed GIF, which would cause what you are describing.
    In the Macintosh Finder, select said "net image" and do a Get Info on it (Command+i). When the Info box appears in the Finder, take a screen shot and upload it here by using the little camera icon in the Reply Editor in the forum's web interface.
    If the image is a 256-color GIF, remember the rule:  GIGO = garbage in, garbage out.

  • Photoshop CS6 PSD losing layers

    Hi, my Photoshop CS6 PSDs are getting flattened if opened by any previous versions of Photoshop, depsite not being saved just opened.  When I open the original in CS6 again, all layers are merged.  Where there were 12 layers, there is now one.  This is causing loads of problems.  Please advise.

    Yes, thank you, Conroy.  Now I think of it that was the true basis behind my post above.  It wasn't that the Save As PDF operation had flattened the image, it was that it had turned off the option Conroy showed for subsequent operations.
    You can reproduce it like this:
    1.  Open a layered document.
    2.  Save As - PDF, disable Preserve Editing Capabilities.
    3.  Save As - PSD, note that the above mentioned checkbox is now OFF.
    This is a nasty gotcha, and while the little caution symbol is there it's not that noticeable.  Maybe Adobe should draw the red border around it as we have done.

    does this happen for a particular image only, or for all images?

    This downloaded OK
    When I tried to run the file (Winzip) I got the following message

    I tried to do that and it told me Adobe support adviser no longer exists.
    Could you please advise a solution.

    Extract it to a different location inside a dedicated folder and make sure to not destroy the file and folder hierarchy inside the archive. also run the install with sufficient user privielges and security stuff turned off.

  • Illustrator and Photoshop CS6 both will not allow me to print from them

    Illustrator and Photoshop CS6 both will not allow me to print from them. InDesign will, but illustrator keeps popping up with "can't print the illustration." i have read other forums and i understand outlining typefaces, and spot colors but, it still will not allow me to print. Even if i open a completely new file and just try to print a black square it will not allow it. the problem might have started with an emailed EPS file? but im not 100 percent sure. i have disconnected and re connected the printer but the problem just seems as if all Illustrator, and Photoshop files will not print from the program and the connection with the printer is non existent (even though it says it is). please help!

    Reset your illustrator prefs
    Hold fingers over Shift Alt CTLR (PC) or Shift Opt Command (Mac)
    Boot Illustrator
    Immediately after booting depress the 3 keys as fast as you can.

  • How can I retain the attached .pdf files (displayed as icons) from my word file 2010 to a pdf file?

    Hi everybody,
    I have looked for an answer in this forum ... without any good result.
    I worked on a Word 2010 file with some attached pdf files. These attached files are displayed as icons on the word file. If you double click on them, you can consult them. This works very good.
    Problem: I would like to convert this word 2010 file into a pdf file, which keeps the icons (linked to attached files) active. If I "pdf" this with my current system, icons are displayed as pictures: I cannot open the attached files.
    My question is very simple: is it possible to retain these active icons (= to open attached documents) in a pdf file? Which adobe package should I use?
    Many thanks for your help 
    cheers

    No, it's not possible, but I agree it would be a very nice feature.

  • Problems with displaying read data from a .lvm file

    Hi all.
    I aquire data with the PCMCIA card 6036E. I aquire online in Labview 7 and store the data in a .lvm file. When i try to display the same data i aquired before with the "read .lvm file" express vi, the waveform chart redraws itself after an undefined time, sometimes it redraws faster and sometimes it takes longer. WHY? i have only one header per aquisition and if i restart the aquisition a new file is written! I tried almost everything. Is this a bug from labview 7?
    I really appreciate your help.
    best regards,
    Bernd

    Hi Khalid,
    Here is a simplified version of my VI and also 2 .lvm files from the logged data. Sorry for the size, but I aquire with a sample rate of 20 kS/s and my main frequency is only 0.3 Hz. In the 6MB file I aquired a little more than 3 periods. When you run the VI with this file at the beginning it redraws very often and very fast, then after some time it draws about 1 period and then it redraws again and so on. I want that the hole data from this file is displayed at once. The 900kB file is aquired with 10kS/s and about 1.5 periods. This is the last size the displaying is working with. You think it is possible that the VI only works until 1MB? But my data usually is much bigger than that. I hope you can use the data because it is
    zipped, but otherwise it wouldnt be possible to post it.
    Thank you very much for your help, I really appreciate it!
    Best regards,
    Bernd

  • How do I stop LR4 from organizing imported files into a folder by date.

    How do I stop LR4 from organizing imported files into a folder by date. Most times when I import files I have already created a folder and sub-folder structure tyat I want to use. I then right click the desired folder and choose import into this folder option. Why does LR4 insist on organizing my already selected destination into a sub-folder with a date by default?

    If you do it this way all the time consider a different approach:
    Manually copy your images from the card into your desired destination folder in the Finder/Explorer. Once complete drag&drop that entire folder into Lightroom. When the import dialog pops up select to Add the images to the catalog (not copy or move). You will end up with the exact folder structure reflected in your library.

  • If I convert a PDF file to a Microsoft Word file can I delete pictures from the converted file

    If I convert  PDF file to a Microsoft Word file can I delete pictures from the converted file?

    Hi sutterrot,
    After a successful conversion from PDF to Word, you need to download the converted file locally on your computer.
    You can then choose 'Enable Editing' button and then delete images/text or make other changes.

  • Photoshop CS6 stopped saving file extensions

    I am running PhotoShop CS6 on Mac Yosemite 10.10.2.  Photoshop suddenly stopped saving file extensions.  I can open the files saved on my computer, but others cannot because the file extension is missing.  Under preferences > file handling > append file extension, "always" is selected.  It doesn't matter which file format PSD, JPEG, PNG, etc., the file extension is not saved.  I have the capability to view the file, but if I send it to someone else, or if I save it to dropbox and download it back to my computer, the image cannot be viewed.

    Try resetting the Photoshop preference file: Hold Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Opt+Shift as you initiate Photoshop's startup. Select "yes" when asked if you would like to continue with reset.
