Please Help! - Program changes photo colours automatically when photos uploaded?

I use photoshop elements 2.0.
When I upload photos the program automatically changes the photo colours to a duller shade across the whole photo... brighter rich colours are lost.
(i have tested that it isnt just that the colours appear different in photoshop but not when saved by uploading photos into photoshop, doing nothing to them but save it, then compare the original and the saved photo - the colours differ significantly.)
Restoring the original colours is difficult but I attempt to get close using the Enhance - adjust brightness/ contrast.
I am sure that this isn't a universal program fault so perhaps one of my settings is wrong?? It has done it since I bought it but up to now I have lived with it however it is really starting to put me off using photoshop when the striking natural colours are lost.
I am sure other photographers dont have this problem so there must be something i can do to solve it.
Please any help would be grately appreciated as to why this may be happening

This is not a Photography issue but an application specific question.  Try posting in the Photoshop Elements forum:

If you're lucky, you'll find someone there who still remembers that ancient version of Elements.  Currently they're at version 9.

  • I was filling a form online, then I got to where I had to upload an Microsoft document but when I clicked on upload document I only had the option of uploading photos and videos, but not Microsoft doc. Please help.... How do I upload Microsoft doc related

    I was filling a form online, then I got to where I had to upload a Microsoft document but when I clicked on upload document I only had the option of uploading photos and videos, but not Microsoft doc. Please help.... How do I upload Microsoft doc  and other related office documents?

    tis true
    I know, I always do that but I was in a rush to get somewhere and I was relying on my thousand dollar Mac to do some kind of recovery or something. I know Microsoft always keeps temporary files (I think Mac does too, part of me asking here in this forum was for someone to tell me where I can find those files) and when you go to open Office Works then it gives you the option of opening the last recent documents, saved or not saved.
    I usually copy paste into my emial just in case something goes wrong with the created document but I just didn't have the time to login and do all that My loss, you live and you learn, BUT still if ANYONE got any info on this, PLEASE DO CHIME IN *keeping the hope alive*

  • HT1386 my iphone does not sync with itunes on my second authorized computer, please help. i changed the first authorized computer in May 2012 and have been using the second authorized computer since then but it cannot sync - please help!!

    my iphone does not sync with itunes on my second authorized computer, please help. i changed the first authorized computer in May 2012 and have been using the second authorized computer since then but it cannot sync - please help!!

    "I was thinking I would just connect my iPhone and all of my music and other stuff would transfer to the new computer. "
    Not true. The music and pic sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
    You really should transfer everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of your computer. Since you do not have access to the old computer, then use your backup copy of the old computer.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer ( not good), then you would have to transfer itunes purchased as described earlier. Any other itunes content would be lost.
    You can e-mail photo library pics to yourself, but they will not be of the original quality.
    Before syncing, enter at least one unique contact and calendar entry on the computer. When you first sync, then you should get the option to merge the data.

  • Hi,can you please help me wat can I do when my IPad was stolen?

    Hi,can you please help me wat can I do when my IPad was stolen?

    If you set up the Find My iPad service in the Settings prior to the iPad going missing, then there is a chance that can be tracked, wiped of its data or locked (which does the same thing as activating the screen lock), though it depends on a number of factors: the iPad is turned on, is connected to a WiFi or 3G network, and has not had the Find My iPad service turned off or the iPad completely restored. Log into icloud.com and go to the Find My iPhone section.
    If you did not set up Find My iPad, then there is no way to track it. Report the loss the police and change any passwords for any online accounts you may have used from your iPad (the iTunes Store, for instance). 
    Regards.

It sounds like a bit of a mess and what you may need is an onsite PC tech to do some maintenance on your PC.
    Also, learning to properly use punctuation (particularly periods) might not be a bad idea. As it is, your post was very hard to read.
    Good luck!

    Changing or resetting an account password
    When you say you
    I have no account app in my system preferences. Therefor there is no way I know to change my account password.
    Is the icon pictured below missing from your System Preferences?
    If that is the case, I'd try this.
    1. With System Prefernces closed, locate the file;
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    and trash it.
    Restart your Mac.

  • Blank screen in itunes store-please help im not very technical and when i click on my itunes app the screen is blank how can i fix this please?

    Blank screen in itunes store-please help im not very technical and when i click on my itunes app the screen is blank how can i fix this please?

    See if any of the following fix it.
    Try logging out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and tap 'Sign Out' on the popup and then log back in.
    If that doesn't fix it then try closing the iTunes store app via the phone's multitasking bar and see if it works properly when you open the app : double-click the home button to open the taskbar and then swipe or drag iTunes from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and the click the home button to close the taskbar.
    A third thing to try is a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

    First, remove Comodo. You don't need it, and it sounds like it is causing a problem.
    The other symptoms sound like you have adware installed. Comodo might have detected some components of that adware, or it might not have, but whatever the case, you should NEVER allow any anti-virus software to quarantine or delete files from your computer. See: How to remove infected files.
    Regarding the adware, see my Adware Removal Guide.

    I'm not seeing a screenshot, so could you please try another time to attach one?

    Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum file size (1 MB).
    Make sure that you use the location bar and not the (Google) search bar.

  • Why do my photos become uncropped when i upload to shutterfly?  I saved them as cropped photos in my album and followed the directions closely, but it keeps happening.

    Why do my photos become uncropped when I upload to Shutterfly using the Shutterfly app?   I correctly downloaded the photos to my iPad.  I then cropped them, enhanced them, and saved correctly.  I then created a new folder, put them in it, then used the Shutterfly app to upload them.   However, the uploaded versions are the originals before being cropped and enhanced.   I have tried this several times now and cannot figure it out.  

    There may or may not be something wrong with your colour settings or monitor calibration and profile. Quite possibly there isn't. You say you work in Adobe RGB space in Photoshop. If you're viewing Adobe RGB images which have no embedded profile in a browser then the images are extremely likely to look "washed out and faded". And if you're viewing images in a browser that's not fully colour managed then your images will look wrong there anyway, regardless of profiles.
    I suspect you're putting Adobe RGB profile images on the Web and not embedding that profile in the images.
    It's generally best practice to put sRGB images on the Web. You can work in Adobe RGB space in Photoshop but if you don't work in sRGB space then ensure images destined for the Web are converted to sRGB so there is the best chance of most viewers seeing a somewhat close approximation to what you see in Photoshop.
    Photoshop's Save For Web dialog has an option to convert to sRGB. Note that SFW has an option to embed the profile in JPEG but not PNG files. There is some debate over whether the profile should be embedded in images for the Web but my personal choice is to embed. So if I export sRGB PNG via SFW, I use Apple Preview to embed the sRGB profile.

  • I got a new e-mail address and I reset my iPod so it already has the new email address. I can't seem to change the address on my iPad or iPhone. Please help me change the address on all my devices!

    I got a new email address and I reset the iPod so it already has the new address. I can't seem to change the address on my iPhone5 or iPad. So please help! How do I change the address for my apple ID and icloud on all my devices? I don't want to reset my iPad and phone just to set new email address I can't do updates without the password and I have forgotten my password for my old email address. Please Help! Getting frustarted!

    If the old ID ("email address") is yours, and if your current ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • Please help -- SHADOWS APPEAR as BLACK OUTLINES when I EXPORT to PDF

    Hi all,
    I have designed a product catalog in InDesign. I retouched product in PS and dropped an "outer glow" and "drop shadow" Layer Style onto the products and saved them with a transparent background in a .PSD format. The files were then Placed into the InDesign document.
    The pages print just as they appear when I print from InDesign, however, I would like to be able to email this document out to retailers, but when I Export as a PDF, the images with shadows appear as if they are stroked with a sloppy/irregular black line in place of the shadows...
    Please help me resolve.
    Could it be due to the compression?
    Thoughts? Alternatives?
    Thanks so much,
    Andrew

    Bob,
    I'm sorry for the delayed reply.
    Here is the catalog I designed.  If you flip through it, you will see that some of the t-shirts have this black outline in place of the "outer glow effect"
    I am using CS3.
    My workflow was this:
    Brought photo into PS > masked out background > deleted selected to Transparent background > Placed graphic in new layer over Tshirt image > Saved file as TIFF > Placed TIFF into InDesign document > Export InDesign document to PDF
    Thoughts?
