Pixelated finder images after saving in Photoshop

If I have images on a memory card, they look fine in the finder.
They also have a white frame around them.
If I then manipulate in Photoshop, when I save, the images become pixelated and the white border disappears. They are saved again as native JPEG's
Is there anyway of returning the pictures to their proper resolution?

I suggest trying CocothumbX to remove all previously created thumbnails, then see if Finder re-creates them OK.
Raw files for nearly all cameras are supported by 10.6.2 (raw camera updates come via Software update...don't seem to be downloadable).
If Finder doesn't rebuild them OK you could try CocothumbsX in create thumbnail mode, but it may not support your CR2 files, depending which Canon they are from. Not all CR2 are the same, and CocothumbsX doesn't look like it has been updated for a year or three.
If you problems are only with the raw files I should search or start a new thread focussing on the raw aspect.

    Just go back in photoshop and use the Slice Select tool, then just click and select the slice and hit delete - if you're not sure which one is the active slice just right click and find the one that has the Delete Slice option.
    It's possible you either added the slices by accident or if you received it from someone they just had the slices hidden. For the future, you can go to View > Show > Slices to display (or hide) slices.

  • Reimport image after modifying in Photoshop CC from Lightroom 5.3

    Tilla week ago I used to work on a PC. When modifying an image from Lightroom into Photoshop 6 the image was automatically reimported in the origin folder,
    I am now on a MacPro and when I modify an image in Photoshop CC from Lightroom 5.3 it reimports the image in a ghost directory with the same name than the origin directory. It is accessible but seen as a different diretctory with the same name. When I try to copy the image in the origin directory I have a message that an image with the same name is already present in the directory. It can not be seen and I can not pile the new and old images together. What can I do?

    Lightroom, no.  You need a graphics editor.  If Photoshop Extended does what you need, why not keep using it?   Creative Cloud Photography plan | Adobe Creative Cloud
    Elements is a significantly simpler version of Photoshop.  It might do what you need but it lacks the finer bells & whistles offered by Extended.

  • Cannot open file from Bridge after saving in Photoshop CS3

    I was working on three images in Photoshop CS3, when I went to open them from Bridge for review, two of three files were reduced to tiny white squares with a dogear in the top right corner, a little blue bounding box containing three tinier red green and blue somethings so small I couldn't even see what they were with my jewellery spec.
    Nothing happened when I clicked on them, no error message, nothing. I managed to get one of them in 'reveal' - which opened up a larger blue bounded box with the red button containing a cross with the message 'cannot open as not right kind of file'.
    What to do please? I don't want to spend hours on an image and hope it will open afterwards. Thankyou.

    Thankyou for taking the time to respond. I did notice that I'd forgotten to place a . after the file name and before the extension - ie soiphotopsd, instead of soiphoto.psd, and renamed them and the opened as psds. I would have thought that Photohop CS3 with all it's bells and whistles could have provided a helpful popup/error message to this effect when saving images though!
    I still have an old file I haven't been able to open, the icon of which is simply a small blue and white box with the letters pmg on the bottom. I tried to rename the file same as, but nothing seemed to work so far. Will just keep plugin away - forgive the pun.
    Thanks again.

  • Keeping image after saving in CS6

    I am using Macbook Pro 13, and all images are fine when I put them in to a file. But after working on them in CS6, when I look at them again in the same file, they are now display as
    Preview Icon (boy and a camera). How can I stop this from happening? Or is it an Apple preference? (I am fairly new to mac)

  • Lightroom 3: file changes not propagating into Finder even after saving metadata?

    Hello,
    I have recently purchased Lightroom 3 and have spent the past couple days educating myself on the program.  I have developed a file in Lightroom and I am now trying to open it in Photoshop Elements 10. I am running into two problems. 
    1. I have defined Elements as an additional external editor.  When I try to launch the photo in Elements, Elements launches, but the file never actually opens in the program. My options are as follows: Edit a copy w/ Lightroom Adj., PSD format, sRGB, 8 bits, Res 240, stack with Orig.. When I click edit, the PSD is created and visible within the Lightroom library.  I can drag and drop the PSD into Elements as a workaround.
    2.  When I look at the (.NEF/.jpg) file in Finder, none of my changes are apparent.  I have saved the metadata both manually, and updated my preferences to automatically update the metadata into an xmp file. This is the bigger problem for me because I would like to edit my photo's in both programs.
    Can anyone shed some light on why I am having these problems?
    Thanks!
    Angelique

    Thanks Lee.  Yes, I knew it was non-destructive, but I thought I saw on a tutorial that if you saved the metadata, it was embedded in the file as opposed to just in the Lightroom db, and that subsequently, other products (like Elements) would/should be able to recognize it.  It makes sense that Finder wouldn't see it, but I do wonder as to why Elements didn't see it (when I finally dragged and dropped from finder). 
    Regardless, I exported to .dng and was able to open it Elements with the changed visible. 
    Thank you so much for your response.  I am going to open a new thread as to why I am having the problem listed in point 1. 
    Thanks again!

  • Lightroom 5.5 not selecting images after editing in photoshop cs5

    I recently did the 5.5 update and now after cmd E editing in photoshop after I save and close a file it is auto imported into lightroom but not selected.  I am using filters but that is the only variable I could see affecting it.  It used to be done automatically and only takes me a second longer but I'm editing files hundreds at a time and every second counts.

    Most likely you need to change the Sort order of your images.  In Library - Grid view there is a tool bar at the bottom of the grid window. If the tool bar isn't visible, hit [ T ] to activate it. Change the sort order to Filename or Capture Time. It is probably set to Added Order.

  • Using photoshop elements 9 as an external editor - after saving in Photoshop the results do not display in Aperture

    I set up my external editor as Photoshop Elements 9, I follow the instructions to edit a selected image in the external editor. When finished editing in Photoshop, I hit Save (not Save As), and go back to Aperture, and the work I did in Photoshop does not display in Aperture. Is there anything else I need to do to make the work I did in Photoshop display in Aperture?

    I had the same problem with PSE 10, and this soution worked for me.  Thanks.  But is this the real answer?  Isn't there a way to save the file without having to add an "f" to the suffix?  It doesn't seem to make sense to me.  Is it an Aperture problem or PSE?  I went to the Apple store amnd the so-called aperture/photoshop expert spent an hour trying to figure it out and finally got the answer by reading this post!!!

  • Grainy, pixelated RAW images after import

    Help!??? I am having trouble with PS CS-6 displaying/ producing/ saving grainy pictures when import NEF files!!!
    When I import all NEF or RAW files into CS6 from Bridge and Camera Raw from the Nikon D200 and D5000, they become grainy/ pixelated.  However, RAW files from the D800 did not have problem. I set the Color Space in my Nikons to AdobeRGB, in PS Camera Raw 8.5 to AdobeRGB, in PS CS-6 ColorSpace to AdobeRGB, and Save As Jpeg with Max quality (12). When comparing between CS-6 produced file and the original, I can see a big drop in quality and the picture become grainy and pixelated. What can I do to make this right? Any help/ suggestion is appreciated.
    Thank you!
    HN

    Can you show us a screen-shot of the raw in Camera Raw that shows this noise, or if you only see it in the saved JPG, then show us a side-by-side of the raw in Camera Raw and the JPG?  Show the same area of the photo and zoom to 100%.
    It is normal for raw photos to have grain but you can mostly remove it with the Luminance Noise-Reduction sliders in the Detail tab of Camera Raw.
    The amount of grain depends on the ISO sensitivity setting on the camera.

  • FXG does not change image after saving.

    I have installed the fxg plugin.  I can make edits and save, however, in Catalyst the image does not change.  I have follwed the instructions to the letter, but no changes are made. I refreshed the artboard but that didn't help either.  What am I missing?

    I also encounter the same issue.

  • Lightroom changes reset after saving from photoshop

    I'm using the most current version of Lightroom and Photoshop. In the past, I was able to edit in PS and when I'd save, the photo would update in Lightroom, preserving whatever changes I'd made in the develop module. For example, I do a lot of retouching, so I'll tweak general contrast and color in Lightroom, then export to Photoshop to clean up skin and other details. PS saves it as a .tiff which automatically stacks in LR with the original .dng file. So let's say I finished the retouch, then in LR I apply a light vignette or some grain to the .tiff file. Previously, if I ever decided to export this .tiff again into photoshop, when I would save and it would update in LR, the vignette and grain amounts would stay the same.
    Now when I save in PS, when the photo updates in LR all the settings reset and I lose whatever changes I'd made (curves, grain, vignette, etc). Is there a setting I'm missing?

    Please provide screenshots taken at View > 100% to illustrate the issue.
    Where do you observe that degradation – in Photoshop itself or in some other application?

  • Finding images after OS upgrade??

    Ok, I know there are a few ways to do this, but I'm looking for the Adobe "endorsed" method. I just installed Windows 7 on a new partition in my HD. I've installed LR2.3 and all seems to be running well. Now, how do I best get the images off my external drive to show? Catalog? I know this is probably a dumb question, but I cant seem to get a straight answer elsewhere. All the images on my external drive are in a folder labeled Ext LightRoom Master. They are subcatagorized within, all through LR...
    Thanks for any help!
    Vince

    First, I wouldn't look for an Adobe endorced method, as I don't think there is one. Or, all the features implemented in Lightroom are Adobe endorsed.
    Why don't you just plug in our external drive, open the catalog from the old partition an dbe there? I assume the old partition is visible from Win 7...

  • Images edited in Photoshop not showing up correctly in Lightroom after saving

    Hi,
    I recvently got Adobe cloud and upgraded from Lightroom 3 to 4.  Since the upgrade I have been having issues with Lightroom not correctly displaying images edited in Photoshop.  Instead of the photoshop image it creates a new jpeg and displays that in the library.  the PSD does not get loaded into the library.
    I am taking a jpeg from my library and shoosing the edit in Photoshop function.  I am selecting edit a copy, but have tried it with original and with edit a copy with lightroom adjustments as well with the same results. 
    In Photoshop I am duplicating the base layer, upscaling the image, running some filters, adding dsome adjustment layers. 
    I save the image in Photoshop format back to the original folder where the initial jpeg was in the Lightroom library.  I save it with maximize compatibility on.
    When I go back to Lightroom, the catalog displays two files, the initial jpeg and an identical copy to it, NOT the new photoshop file with alterations.  If I go to the folder the images are housed in in Finder using the show in Finder command both images link to the same original jpeg.  The photoshop edited file is there in the folder but does not show up in Lightroom unless I drag and drop it.
    I have turned off all filters and made sure the sort is sorting by name.  The image does not automatically show up in Lightroom after editing.  Any suggestions?
    Thanks for any help!
    PS. I did search the topic and there are threads from 2007 and lightroom 2 but their solution was to start from scratch essentially and I have a carefully tagged, starred, and labeled catalog of 30,000+ images and really don't want to do that

    Images that are edited in Photoshop will be displayed automatically in Lr only when the image-file saved in Photoshop is the same as the one opened from Lr.
    You say you open a JPG from Lr, then edit it in PS by - among other things - adding some layers. Layers are not supported in the JPG-format so you have to either save it as a psd or as a jpg-copy.
    In either case this is not the same image file as the one opened in Lr, so it will have to be imported into Lr to show up. If you would flatten your image after editing in PS and then do a <save> to your JPG - not a <save as> - it will show up in Lr.
    PS: the only exception is when you open a Raw image from Lr in PS and you save it in PS in the file format specified in Lr for external editing. The saved file will automatically show in LR.

  • Jpeg thumbnails too small when saved from Photoshop

    Since moving to Snow Leopard, I notice that the Finder shows jpegs saved from Photoshop quite a bit smaller than jpegs saved using other apps, like Preview or just scanned images. This makes viewing the thumbnails in the Finder harder. Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it?
    I would post a screen grab to show this, but I can't see how to do that here. If anyone knows, please let me know.
    Thanks

    That's because Photoshop creates its own rather smallish icons (by the new standards) for the files. If you remove custom thumbnails and let Finder draw them they'll be scalable all the way up to 512x512. There is a preference from within Photoshop to tell it to NOT create icons. Go to PS prefs, select Saving Files, and turn off Image Previews. The advantage is that the icons can be drawn larger; the disadvantage is that they will appear in Finder more slowly, since instead of simply displaying what is there Finder has to draw the icons. Furthermore, Finder doesn't always draw the icons with the clarity one would expect: sometimes they never do appear as sharp as they ought to be (there are several very lengthy threads discussing this problem, with no real solution), sometimes they slowly appear in all their large glory.
    Oh, and to post a picture, as in my signature, you have to have the image available somewhere online, then add an image tag.
