Pictures don't look the same inside Photoshop

They look better, which is bad. I save them to a folder, or upload them to the web, and they just don't look as good. I've read some "solutions" but they never seem to work. Photoshop does not reflect what the images show in Windows (folder, preview, browser). I am only interested in working on what it will look like on the computer, not what it will look like when I print it. I don't care about that (not for this project, anyway).

Develop module, 1:1 and Export don't look the same, color issues

Hi everybody
I'm using the last version of Lightroom (3.6 if I'm not wrong) and I'm facing a very uncomfortable issue with the Develop module.
I adjusted precisely every color luminance and saturation so it looks rather good in the Develop preview (set to fit), and did an export...
The preview I worked on and the export simply don't look the same.
I work with NEF files from my NIKON D3100 DSLR on a Mac OSX 10.7 MBP.
This cannot be the external display profile not correctly adjusted since I viewed every pictures on the same screen.
I unchecked every boxes from the presets tab in the settings window.
Here are some screenshots and exports.
Fit preview in the Develop module (left) and the actual export of the same picture (right)
Please note I didn't activated any lens correction option and adjusted any color. This is the RAW file and its direct export.
Screenshot of the preview window on top of noise correction options (left) and the same area once I zoomed in in the main preview (right)
I hope this can be corrected or I'm doing something wrong.
A couple of days before today I was using Camera RAW from PS CS5 to correct my NEF and was only keeping exports in JPEG. I decided to use LR 3 on my entire workflow and I'm being skeptical...
Oh right and please forget about every single mystake in my post, I'm a french student.
Thanks !
EDIT : i can join any required file or screenshot if required. I have some other shots having tthe same issue (a lot of ones indeed...)
EDIT 2 : i just found out the picture has much more acurate colors (relatively to the export ones) in the Library module in fit preview (Loupe I guess)

I have the problem on another photo.
I made a screenshot on the screen of my MBP, but it looks the same on any other screen :
Here is the export config :
If you need any other information I can send you them.

Pictures moved from iPhoto to iWeb don't look the same

When I move a photo album from iPhoto to an iWeb album page the photos are darker and more saturated. I would think the color space should be the same for both.
Does anybody have an answer?

Fonts don't look the same when published...

why is it when i publish my site to a folder the fonts on some pages do not appear the same as they show in iweb...
i have 8 pages...
home page looks fine just as in iweb...
the remaining pages have a bolder font and doesn't look nice...
i have checked and double checked every page and all fonts are the same...

why is this happening...?
what can i do...?

In iWeb click on +Help > iWeb Help+. In the pane that opens you'll see a search bar in the upper right corner. Copy & paste the following into it:
If text or a shape gets converted to a graphic
...and hit Enter. That same phrase should appear in the resulting list of +Help Topics+. Double-click it.
Follow the steps outlined under +"To identify items that will be converted to graphics when published:"+
...Do yellow badges appear on the text you're having problems with? If so, your text is being converted to graphics — to view the fonts least likely to be converted, click the Fonts button in the lower-right corner. In the Font panel under Collections, click Web.
On the other hand, if yellow badges don't appear then this may apply:

AD intigrated DNS servers don't look the same but function perfectly, What am I missing?

I have a fully functional Active Directory network with integrated DNS servers (2). When I look at one of the DNS servers (both 2008R2 Domain Controllers) under the forward lookup zones I see all of my workstations, servers and other network devices
as I would expect to see them however when I look at the other DNS server all I see is what appears to be stub zone data.
On the questionable server I see
SOA start of authority listing
Name server XXXXXXXXX
Name Server XXXXXXXXX
and one host(A) record for a server
But there are no workstation or other servers in my network listed.
If I query the questionable server it replys with the correct DNS information as though it is resolving the address query but I just see no workstation or server listings under Forward lookup zones.
I can run dcdiag /test:dns and it all passes with the exception of a few failed external root servers which I see now and then. DNS testing tells me it is all working and I have no errors in my system logs.
Shouldn't I be seeing an exact copy of DNS records on both servers or did something change?
All DNS tests I have run tell me everything is well and good but I am not seeing what I think I should be seeing.
HELP

Hi,
If your qeustionable DNS server and the another DNS sever are in the same domain and both of them are the AD integrated zone, we should see the exact copy of DNS records on both servers.
Please try to trigger the replication of the domain controller then reload and refresh the DNS zone.
If it doesn't work, please try to create a test record on the questionable server, then check if the record has been replicated to the another server.
Best Regards.

A Photoshop PDF doesn't look the same inside a PDF Portfolio

Hi,
I have a Photoshop PDF file that looks good on screen and includes re-touching I did to it. However, when I place it in a PDF portfolio, the edits aren't there anymore.
Anyone know what might be going on?
Thanks!

Short of you having used the wrong file, I can't think of much... Computers aren't sentient and can't do these kinds of things...

How do I make my animation look the same in different browsers?

Hi!
When I play my animation in different browsers it don't look the same as in the preview. In IE some of the parts of the animation have disappeared and in Chrome the pats are no longer in their right places. See picture below.
How do I do to make the animations look the same in different browsers?
(In the end I want to use the animations in my captivate 8 project. )
BR,

Ah, found the issue, the problem is with the name of the two images,
genomförande (instead you can use genomforande)
Grå bakgrund (instead you can use grabakgrund)
Seems like IE is having issue with those special characters.

OK, restart in Safe Mode, this will clear some caches. It's possible one or more is corrupt. To restart in Safe Mode when you hear the start up tone hold down the Shift Key until you see a progress bar. Let it fully boot then restart normally and test.
Also I am assuming you have checked Finder - Preferences - General and see what boxes are checked in "Show these items on desktop." You can also mount an item in Disk Utility, simply highlight it and then look in the File menu for Mount.....

After editing image in Photoshop the saved result doesn't look the same in Lightroom

If I edit a photo in Photoshop and then save the photo, and then view the saved photo (not the original) back in Lightroom in Develop mode, the photo does not look the same as it does in Photoshop. The dark shadows have been crushed in Lightroom. If I look at it in Expose mode it looks good, but in Develop it the blacks and dark shadows are darker than the image appears in Photoshop. This is a newer problem for me, I'm not sure when it started.
I'm using:
Lightroom 5.5
Photoshop CC 2014
Mac Pro 8-core 2008
ATI Radeon HD 5770 GPU
Mac OS X 10.9.4
Apple 30" Cinema Display, calibrated with a Spyder3 Elite but the calibration doesn't seem to matter, I can change to another profile (e.g. a stock profile not from the Spyder) and still see the same problem.
This seems to happen with Photoshop CC prior to 2014 as well.

I'm using ProPhoto RGB in Photoshop. I have a test file that shows this issue: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/84023411/shadows_test.psd
This is a 16-bit ProPhoto RGB image with just 2 colors. The top part of the image is filled with RGB 10,10,10 and the bottom half is 0,0,0. If I open this file in Photoshop and use Apple's DigitalColor Meter utility to read the displayed values of the color of the top, using "Display native values", the result is 18,18,18. I expect it to be different than 10,10,10 due to the display profile but I would expect the same image viewed in Lightroom's Develop module to also read as 18,18,18 in the top half. But when I do this (import the PSD into Lightroom and open in Develop) the Meter reads 12,12,12. If I view the PSD in Loupe mode in Lightroom the Meter reads as expected, 18,18,18.
The difference should also be noticeable to your eye (at least mine) without using any measurements.
The result is that the dark shadows appear crushed when editing in Lightroom Develop mode.
The problem happens on both my 2008 Mac Pro with an ATI Radeon HD 5770 GPU and on my 2013 MacBook Air, although the values read on the Air are different than the Pro due to display profiles.
Normally, of course, I'm editing a RAW file in Lightroom and open that up in Photoshop (cmd+e), but this test seems to show that it happens with non-RAW files.

I applied a Photoshop effect to some outlined text - but the outlines still look the same?

1. I typed out the word
2. I created an outline of the word
3. I went to Effect>Photoshop Effects>Texture>Stained Glass and applied
However, if you look closely, the blue outlines ignore the the divots and holes created from the effet.
Is this effect just an overlay? I ask this because this design is for a t-shirt and I want it to look the same as it appears on my screen.
This may sound like a weird question but I'm just getting into Illustrator.
Thanks

Photoshop Effects produce raster images. You will have to use someting like a Grunge effect using actual vector objects for it to be useful for screening onto a tee-shirt.

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

My UI preferences are set to identical settings in Illustrator and InDesign, why don't they look the same?

My UI preferences are set to identical settings in Illustrator and InDesign ("scale to lower supported scale factor") and AI looks perfect, ID is too big. Why don't they look the same if the settings are the same? Driving me CRAZY. I have my windows scaling factor at 124% and it needs to stay enlarged, otherwise nothing else on my system will be readable. The inconsistency of the workspaces is so annoying.

How can I make a custom style look the same in both printed and online?

My specs:
RH 9.0.2.271
Windows 7, 64-bit
Word 2010
The Background Info:
So I created some custom css styles to try and mimic the look of a message box in our documentation. Here's the css code:
.MsgBox {
    color: #000000;
    border-left-style: Solid;
    border-right-style: Solid;
    border-top-style: Solid;
    border-bottom-style: Solid;
    font-size: 10pt;
    background-color: #eeeeee;
    border-left-width: 4px;
    border-right-width: 4px;
    border-top-width: 4px;
    border-bottom-width: 4px;
    border-left-color: #cdcdcd;
    border-right-color: #cdcdcd;
    border-top-color: #cdcdcd;
    border-bottom-color: #cdcdcd;
    width: 350px;
    padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
    box-shadow: 10px 10px 5px #888888;
    margin-bottom: 7pt;
.MsgBoxTitle {
    color: #000000;
    border-left-style: Solid;
    border-right-style: Solid;
    border-top-style: Solid;
    border-bottom-style: Solid;
    font-size: 10pt;
    background-color: #cdcdcd;
    border-left-width: 4px;
    border-right-width: 4px;
    border-top-width: 4px;
    border-bottom-width: 0px;
    border-top-color: #cdcdcd;
    border-bottom-color: #cdcdcd;
    border-left-color: #cdcdcd;
    border-right-color: #cdcdcd;
    width: 350px;
    padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
    box-shadow: 10px 10px 5px #888888;
My HTML Code:
<div class="MsgBoxTitle">
    PC-DMIS MESSAGE:
</div>
<div class="MsgBox">
    <p>Please do the following steps in the indicated order.</p>
    <p>1. Remove the current SH-1/2/3 stylus.</p>
    <p>2. Attach the SHSP (Stylus Holder Setting Piece).</p>
    <p>3. Jog the probe to a safe location with a clear line of approach
     to the port(s) being calibrated. </p>
    <p>4. Then click OK.</p>
    <p>After you click OK the machine will begin DCC measurement.</p>
</div>
The Expected Output:
Here's how it renders in a browser (the title is MsgBoxTitle, the body is the MsgBox style). I'm happy with how it looks there, even if the box shadow doesn't always display:
The Ugly Printed Output:
And here's what it looks like in the printed output.
Ugly. Are there any tricks to get the printable (doc) output to match the online? Ideally, on the printed output, I'd like to have all the white space in my pseudo message box removed so it looks just like the online.

Hi Peter. Thanks for the reply.
I assumed that if I used the project style sheet during the export, Word would convert the style so that it looked the same as in the HTML. Is that a bad assumption? I'm currently not mapping to any template equivalent for these message box styles. I did try it as one of my attempts, but I couldn't figure it out. It never seemed to take the style in the .dot.
Anyway, if I use just 1 style, such as just the MsgBox, I obviously don't get the white paragraph between the title and message. That white paragraph comes from the first <p> tag in the MsgBox style. But I need to have the <p> tags in there because they're better for our localization process than line breaks.
I did do some tweaks that made it look better. Basically I structured it so that the MsgBoxTitle div is now inside the MsgBox div. Something like this:
<div class="MsgBox">
    <div class="MsgBoxTitle">PC-DMIS MESSAGE: </div>
    <p>Please do the following steps in the indicated order.</p>
    <p>1. Remove the current SH-1/2/3 stylus.</p>
    <p>2. Attach the SHSP (Stylus Holder Setting Piece).</p>
    <p>3. Jog the probe to a safe location with a clear line of approach
     to the port(s) being calibrated.</p>
    <p>4. Then click OK.</p>
    <p>After you click OK the machine will begin DCC measurement.</p>
</div>
And then I adjusted my styles borders, padding, and thickness. That helped it look more connected, but still doesn't look quite right:
Would love to get rid of that white space after the title.
If you have time, I would be interested in a more detailed example of how you did it.

FileSystemTree and "ordinary" Tree - make them look the same?

Hi,
I wondered if anyone's worked with Adobe AIR's FileSystemTree and the "ordinary" Tree in Adobe Flex, making them look the same? If so, can you give me some hints on how to make them look the same when it comes to icons, disclosure icons, branches, leafs etc.?
The reason I'm asking is this:
Some time ago I decided it'd be nice to build a sort of FTP Client with Adobe AIR. The client would, among other things, have a tree for local folders and a tree for remote folders. It seemed ideal to use the FileSystemTree for the tree containing local folders. The tree with remote folders is built using the "ordinary" Tree with data supplied via a Microsoft .NET Web Service. However, once I started down this road I soon realized the two controls don't look and behave the same (even though FileSystemTree apparently derives from Tree).
Some examples:
- Tree seems to use easing when opening a folder. FileSystemTree just "opens it".
- FileSystemTree displays a disclosure arrow icon regardless of whether or not a directory has children. Haven't got the Tree to display the same icon when a remote directory is empty.
Any help would be appreciated! I'd also like to point out that I'm quite new to both AIR and Flex so maybe the problems I see are actually easy to solve.
