Pictures Coming out darker after I turn them into jpegs/tiff.

Hey everyone,
I've been having a problem with my photoshop for quiet a while. When I edit my photos in PS, everything is fine, they look great and all but when I save them as JPEGS or tiff they come out darker. I dont understand what the problem is. I've been trying to figure out if its my color settings. But iam not sure. I even tried downloading some calibrators from online but I didnt know how to use them. I thought it installing the latest version of PS would make a difference but nothing works at the moment. Its really giving me a hard time and a lot of my clients have complained about the photos being dark.
Has anyone else came across this problem? I would really appreciate the help. Thank You.

A chart such as this one can help you check to see whether your monitor gamma is set close to the 2.2 that's typical for PC displays.
View it at full size by clicking on it.
Your gamma is set right when the vertical gray bars look like smooth gradients, with no brightness nor color shifts from side to side.

Photos coming out darker with a white backdrop when taken outside

I am trying to take some photos of my product outside because the light seems to be better at picking up all the colors than when I've taken them inside but now when I'm taking the photos with the white backdrop they are coming out darker than when I had the backdrop painted lime green. I took the photos at 8am right when the sun had the backdrop lite up the most I live in Florida for time zone questions. the other photos where taken at 9:30 and they came out a lot better but had a glare in them.should I go back and paint the backdrop green again or have any other ideas. PS I have adobe Photoshop elements 9. any idea on how to take out the glare in a photo when taken outside. and is their a website that can tell me when the best time is to take an outside photo in my region

think you for all you help but one thing im still confused about is northern light. does that mean to have the item placed to the south west to have the sun to the north of the item?
Northern light means that the only light falling on the product is coming from the North sky (in other words, your product is in the shade of the house). Specifically for your speargun products, your setup will be like this:
Get a medium gray background larger than your spearguns. This is especially important if some of the guns are camouflaged. If you can't find a cloth backdrop from a photo supply house, look in some fabric stores. If not, then get a couple of 30in. x 40in. sheets of matte board from an artist's supply store.
Place the product and background in the shade of your house, waiting until the shadow of the house is long enough so that your camera will also be in the shade. (A side benefit is that you'll be cool. )
Put your camera on a tripod.
Set the camera and tripod in the middle of the speargun, moving the camera back until the complete speargun is in the picture when using a "normal" focal length lens. You can slightly decrease the focal length to the wide angle setting if necessary to get the whole speargun in the picture, but be aware that the more wide your lens is, the more the product will be distorted.
At that point, you should be good to go. Let the camera use its automatic everything to take the picture and it should look good. If you want, you can also experiment with a couple of shots using flash as a fill-in light, but that might cause some glare off parts of the speargun.
The photos will have two things happening that slightly complicate matters:
Northern light will be bluish because the light source is the blue sky. That blue cast will be over the entire image, so you can quickly and easily use PSE to remove the blue cast because you won't have to select anything -- just remove the cast from the entire image.
Depending on what you use to support the speargun on the background, you might get shadows, etc., and want to then separate the speargun into its own image with a transparent background. Using a gray background will make that process easier because selecting the gun will be a snap.
Hope that's not too much info to absorb....
Ken
P.S., Depending on what the original colours are, you can easily use PSE to "pop" the colours before saving the images as PNGs for the Web.

Rotated pictures come out blank after they have been exported.

Pictures scanned from Epson 700 photoscanner to i Photo looks fine in iPhoto. No problem editing in IPhoto, but the rotated pictures came out blank after they have been exported. The original picture is exported okay. I have tried all the repair options in iPhoto to no success.
Any suggestion how to fix the blank pictures or do I have to scann them all again?

Still I have to scan every picture again
No you don't. You can change the colour profile to sRGB with a script. Search this forum. Old Toad has one that he created and you can download it.

I have iMove 11 and photos turn very dark when I drag them into the project. Changing colour white balance does not fix the problem.

I have a CanoScan Lide 700F scanner ,how do I scan Black and white neg.and turn them into positives?

I am scaning all old pictures, docts, slides ,but I have alot of b&w negs verious sizes, how can I turn them into b&w positives??

Hi Teddy.
The MP Navigator EX software that was bundled with your CanoScan LiDE 700F can be used to scan your black and white negatives. To use the MP Navigator, please follow these steps:
1. Start MP Navigator EX and open the Navigation Mode screen.
2. Point to Scan/Import and click Film.
3. Place the film on the Platen.
4. Click Specify... to set the document size and scanning resolution as required.
5. When setting is completed, click OK.
Important
Film may not be scanned correctly when Film Type in the Scan Settings dialog box is set to Auto. In that case, select the type of film in Film Type and scan again.
Note
To scan black and white film, it is recommended that you select Black and White Negative Film or Black and White Positive Film for Film Type in the Scan Settings dialog box.
6. Click Scan. Preview scan starts. When preview scan of the film is completed, the preview image appears.
Important
If a message for calibration appears, remove the film, then place the Film Adapter Unit over the first frame of the Film Guide and click OK.
7. When the calibration is completed, follow the on-screen instructions to load the film into the Film Guide, then click OK.
Note
Preview image does not appear when the Preview before scanning checkbox is not selected in the Scan Settings dialog box. The scanned images appear directly in the Thumbnail window.
8. Select the checkbox of the frame and click Scan. When scanning is completed, the Scan Complete dialog box opens.
9. Select Scan or Exit. To scan another frame, place the Film Adapter Unit over the frame you want to scan, then select Scan. Select Exit to end.
The scanned images appear in the Thumbnail window.
10. Edit the scanned images as required. Use Edit Tools to rotate images, select a part of an image, etc.
Note
First select images to edit. (Selected images are outlined in orange.) Drag the mouse or use Shift + arrow keys to select multiple images.
11. Save the scanned images.

Greetings from a Photoshop Newbie. I need a computer, preferably a Mac laptop, with some serious processing power. I take photos with a Pentax 645Z; files are 50MB raw. I upload from Adobe Bridge and manipulate the photo, sometimes turning them into files

Greetings from a Photoshop Newbie. I need a computer, preferably a Mac laptop, with some serious processing power. I take photos with a Pentax 645Z; files are 50MB raw. I upload from Adobe Bridge and manipulate the photo, sometimes turning them into files in excess of 250MB. I cannot resize as the large files are needed for enlargements. Have all sorts of problems trying to manipulate, add effects and saving most large files. I need some serious processing power. Can anyone suggest what Mac i should purchase? I thank you in advance for your help :-)

It sounds as if you're having some system-related problems now, unrelated to processing power as such. In particular, a buggy video driver can cause everything to slow to a crawl.
Medium format files are big, true, but not so big as to cause significant slowdowns on a normally functioning and reasonably current computer. A laptop will always be slower than a well-equipped desktop system, though. Mac vs PC plays no part in this, performance is unrelated to platform.
Bottlenecks are different in ACR and Photoshop, so that should give you a clue. ACR is computing-intensive and mostly limited by CPU speed. Photoshop, however, is mostly bandwidth-intensive and mainly limited by memory and disk throughput. It's also sensitive to GPU issues.

I am creating a request for proposal form and I need to add a commission structure field. I created a table using the ranking field and now I need to delete the "dots/buttons" and turn them into text fields, is this possible?

It sounds like what you are trying to do is edit the choices in a likert field to something other than the default radio button. This is not something that you can do in Formscentral at this time.

Prints From Epson Coming Out Dark/Orange Cast

Hi,
I have an Epson PX710w and use Lightroom 2.4 64bit on Vista. I have putting out some prints over the last few days and have noticed that images with a lot of red in have been coming out slightly orange and all of them are darker than expected. Is there any reason for this? I have also tried printing through CS2 and have noticed a little improvement in the prints. I have also printed some of the images off on other printers with good results that match my monitor.
What I currently do in the Print module:
Colour Management: choose profile that matches printer and paper
>
Print properties >
- Choose paper type
- Colour Management > ICM > Off (No Colour Adjustment)
Then I go back and hit print...
Any suggestions would be fantastic.

I don't use a Colormunki..but what you say here

I have to turn off the Enbale DDC Calibration function in the preferences or Colormunki sets my monitor so dark, I can barely see it.
sounds very strange. Usually when profiling a monitor and setting the luminance value (which is either called the brightness or backlight) control, you start from the brightest point the monitor will go to and then the device measures this and sets a recommended luminance value measured in cm2 (that is candles to the square meter) and you reset your monitor brightness until it matches the required value. Are you reading the instructions carefully as what you say here just doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Setting the monitor to 0 (o what?) and saying the calibration device sets your monitor brightness (this will be done on the monitor controls not by a calibration device)
If you are also using the colomunki to make printer profiles I have heard of several serious problems with the device regarding this. I understand it makes icc v4 profiles and your printer drivers may use icc v 2...this will cause difficulties. You will usually be better using the canned profiles supplied by any paper manufacturer than attempting to make your own profiles with these cheaper end of the market devices in my experience.

Importing .avi files and PE7 turns them into audio files...

Why does it do this and what do I need to do in order to have PE7 treat them as regular video files for editting?
(I'm using Downloader to pull videos from youtube and import them into PE7 to produce a disk.)

First, do not worry, PrE7 has not harmed your files. It is just that it can only get to the Audio portion of those files, so that is all that it can display. They are still intact.
Now, with many file formats, and AVI in particular, much can be inside that file. This ARTICLE will give you some background.
With just the Audio coming through, my guess would be that the files are encoded using either DivX, or Xvid, as this is a very common problem. You can check this out with G-Spot, also mentioned in the linked article.
If the files play on your computer, then you likely have the necessary CODEC, unless you're using MediaPlayer Classic or VLC Player, as they have their own CODEC systems.
Steve's advice to convert these files is the best course of action. You may need to get the CODEC and install it (again, G-Spot will tell you exactly what you will need and if its installed on your computer). I do not know if Prizm has its own CODEC's but would assume that it uses those installed on the computer.
Good luck,
Hunt

Pictures are coming out blurry after ios5 dnld. Anyone please helpppp!!!

When I take a pic it shows up blurry in my camera roll. And when I try to delete I get a saving image icon that shows forever and never seems to go away. Had these problems since updating to ios 5. Someone, anyone please help. I use my camera all day everyday and this is just crap!!

I found the following post in another forum and tried it this morning and it worked great. My problem was when I took a picture and viewed in the camera roll it was either heavily pixated or it had a white screen with a box in the middle of it. It would become clear if I hit edit but if I hit auto enhance it would become a black screen. Anytime I tried to choose an option, i.e. delete, or email the picture, it would have a saving photo message and stall. I could at times get it to email the picture to my wife who has same specs as myself, (iPhone 4 iOS 5) and hers was fine. But I had not synced hers recently, and I had mine. Only thing that was not the exact same, settings were.
http://www.iphoneincanada.ca/how-to/how-to-fix-iphone-camera-roll-crash-and-phot os-turned-to-other-in-itunes/
The only thing that I would add is when I first did this, when it said to reset I did a Lock/Home reset. When I opened photos they were the same and when I opened iExplorer the files were still there. So I deleted them again and did a soft reset and when my phone came back up I opened my Camera Roll and in about 5 seconds all my photo's were there and you could view them like normal. Very easy and you do not have to restore your phone!!! Highly recommended to try first.

Pictures print out dark when using Photoshop Elements

I am using Photoshop Elements 6. I pull my pictures up and they look beautiful on the monitor. However when I print them out they come out much darker. Has anyone else had this problem. I even got a new printer because I was told it was probably the problem. Still have the same issue.

Donna,
While you read up on color management (!!!), you may want to check the following:
Reduce the brightness of your computer screen. The default setting may be sub-optimal.
In Elements, go to Edit>color settings, and tick the option to optimize for computer screens
In Elements, open a picture, then go to File>print. Look for "More options", go to the color management tab, and under color handling drop-down, select "printer manages colors"
Suggest that you print from Editor, not from Organizer.
