Preview ≠ Export, Retouching JPEGs!!!

I just spent hours retouching a bunch of JPEGs and I got them looking just perfect. Some of them had some orange dates in them that I was trying to remove. I got everything looking exactly the way I wanted, so I select the photos I want and tell it to export them boom, I get orange smears where the dates were. My output clearly doesn't match the previews!
I tried messing with the export settings, deleting the previews, forcing them to update, and messing with the preferences. I feel like I've tried everything and things still don't match. I'm so frustrated, I'm about to cry.
And beyond that, the output and preview are consistently inconsistent. One minute, the preview has orange smears, the next minute, "Loading..." and everything looks good. But then I export, and everything is wrong again. Weird though, sometimes if I drag the picture straight to the desktop, it ends up looking better. Whatever happens, the output never seems to be the same, it always seems to smear in a different way and/or severity.
I would use iPhoto to retouch this stuff, but iPhoto is behaving similarly, but worse (it seems to put blurry marks between the places where I retouch). It only seems to be a problem with JPEGs though, RAWs seem to behave exactly as expected in both Aperture and iPhoto. I'm so confused and frustrated. How do I fix this?
I can post examples, if anybody wants to see.

I think the problem actually just got fixed. I didn't realize the 2.1.1 update was available.
But that still doesn't explain the iPhoto thing. I thought they might be linked.

[CS2 AS] Export as Jpeg... image missing in the output.

Hi,
I'm using alot the export as jpeg feature as a validation helper while doing batch processing (for quality output, i have used export as pdf and rasterisation in photoshop... require more processing, but it give more reliable output).
So with the base export, i'm having a odd problem where on other machine the some images are not exported appropriately (some appear with a white strippe and other completely blank).
I have not found documentation on this but i'm pretty sure that the export is done from a low-res preview, so i suspect that that my script processing make the export before indesign has completed some document display refresh.
I tought that i could use a arbitrary delay, but i find this solution quite inconvenient as it make the process slower and not completely deterministic.
Is there a equivalent call to "recompose" that would let me be sure to call the export when the display refresh of the document is done? (if i remember well, i have tried forcing the document quality display to maximum).
Thanks for any ideas! :)

After editing camera raw and export as jpeg,image becomes overexposed when view on light room..please advise.

need some help here. don't know if i can describe this accurately.
i was using lightroom previously. edit my raw file and then export in jpeg. everything appear normal as what i wanted.
recently i got cs4 and started using bridge. now after i edit my photo in lightroom and export,the view of the jpeg file appears overexpose(exposure was increase) and when view on adobe bridge same problem. but if i open photoshop and use my workspace colour setting everything is ok. when i see my picture on iphoto it is normal as per i have edited. i just don't know what setting i have touch that cause my viewing of edited photo on lightroom and bridge goes overexpose. on bridge,thumbnail ok but preview bad...
for the record: i just install CS4 and snow leopard recently. before this i have no problems with LR. I'm also not sure if i have accidentally change any settings.
i shoot with a 5D mark 2 and use the raw file for edit.
will appreciate any advise. Thanks

Yes
I've edited and exported an image to a different folder on my desktop. I've realised I still need to do some work on it
but when I try and open it again in Lightroom ( I see it in Library) I get a mesaage saying file not found...Please help
We're going to need a lot more details aobut exactly (EXACTLY) the steps you follow after you do the export, because normally I would say this is one of the easiest things possible in Lightroom. Are any files moved or renamed or disks unplugged in between the time of export and the time when you try to edit again?

Image Preview Export automatically creates new "images" folder?

Whenever I create an image within Fireworks CS4, I do so by following this procedure:
Image Preview > Export (and then select either .jpg or .gif).
If I want to place the image (to be named filename.jpg) within the following local directory:
My Documents/Projects/acme/images/
...it will instead place it here:
My Documents/Projects/acme/images/images/filename.jpg
Why does it add an additional images folder?
Many thanks for your help in this matter?

Hi Kevin,
In the window that pops up after you click the Export button, check for the following:
Does the File name field have the correct jpeg/gif extension?
Does the Export field have Images Only option set?
Most importantly: is the Put Images in Subfolder checkbox checked or unchecked?
One possibility is that HTML & Images is set for the export type, in which case the Put Images in Subfolder checkbox might be checked by default.

With existing large managed library, can I export only jpegs to a laptop?

Hi folks,
The subject line is perhaps not well phrased, but I'm wondering is it possible to do the following: given that I have a large, well-established Aperture library with all of my RAWs on my desktop machine, is it possible to nicely export the JPEGs of those RAWs into a library file that could fit on my laptop, for preview purposes?
It'd be necessary to keep ratings and other metadata, of course, although I don't care about syncing any changes I make on the laptop back.

If you use referenced masters, then generate previews of all of your images (will take a long time). The previews live in the library. Copy that library to your laptop, then you can delete the previews in your main library.
Since you use managed masters, you'll have to relocate them temporarily.

No longer able to export in JPEG-B

I have this vexing issue that I cannot figure out. I can no longer export as JPEG-B. It has vanished from the list of available formats to export to. I have tried deleting the preferences and restarting the system. But no luck. Anyone have any suggestions. Or have a similar problem.

I was able to find a solution in this thread:: by lkrupp http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1344019&tstart=300

Failed to export the JPEG file

When I attempt to export a jpeg from InDesign I get the following error message, please help:
"Failed to export the JPEG file: File cannot be written.
Disc may be locked or full."
The disc it is writing to has 90Gb of memory free and I've tried knocking the quality of the export down with no success.
I am running CS6 on a fully updated Macbook Pro.
Thanks.

I'm trying to export to the hard drive on the Mac as usual, and have never had this issue before?

InDesign CS6 "Failed to export the JPEG file. File cannot be written. Disk may be locked or full."

I get this error "Failed to export the JPEG file. File cannot be written. Disk may be locked or full." when sending small (3"x3") and large (40"x60") files to a printer hot folder. Sometime if I close the program and restart it will let me export. What could be causing this to happen?
I am on Windows 7 with 4GB RAM PC.

I guess the printer is grabbing the file before it is entirely written…
Workaround: Do not save to a hot folder. Move the files after exporting to the hot folder.

Icon previews missing on jpegs saved from Safari

This did not happen in Tiger and Safari 2. I always saw the icon preview of any jpegs dragged from a safari window to, say, the desktop ... now, in Leopard, I get the generic Photoshop symbol (jpegs are pref'd to open in PS). I can only get the icon preview of the image if I resave it in PS.
It's little thing but, it's frustrating as jpegs from the web usually have generic file names, so the preview comes in very handy for me. Yes, my view options are pref'd for icon preview. Thanks for your hep.

Hi Tim
I'm curious why dragging an image from the web to your desktop creates a jpg file with a Photoshop icon. OS X natively assigns this action to Preview. Either you previously changed the jpeg "open with" assignment in either in Leopard or prior to Photoshop, or a 3rd party application did it for you?
As I posted, if I drag an image from Safari to the desktop, the image icon appears rather than a generic icon. Here's the image file appearing on my desktop:
Here's a screenshot of that file on the desktop:
If I open the info panel to that file, this is what I see:
When you open the info panel, do you see an image in the Preview section or a generic icon?

Picture has noise after export to JPEG

Hey guys,
I am using Lightroom 5.2 64bit version on my windows. After I export my raw in to the jpeg it has noise. But in the develop module it hasn´t. Also it has got a little bit noise in the library, but it´s the same picture. Where is the sense?
Here are some pictures of that problem:
1. The finally edited raw picture which I want to export.
2. The view from the library, you can see a little bit difference on the quality compared to the view from the develop module.
3. The jpeg after the export.
4. My export settings.
I don´t know what to do! I´ve googled a lot but nothing found.
Please help me and post any ideas.
Lovely regards

I have the same problem (OS X). Exporting to jpeg results in poor quality. This is a problem I didn't had with previous versions.
I took a look at the other threads which are mentioned here and effectively, the 1:1 view looks exactly like the jpeg export.
But this would be like looking at a 5x6 meter poster from two inches distance, which makes no sense. If you look from a 1 meter distance,
it is logic that you will see a bit less noise, things will look smoother.
This really is an issue. I always had an export and a print that looked exactly like how I saw it in 'fit' view in develop screen in previous versions.
It is completely stupid to be obliged to work in 1:1 mode for developing photos as this is the only option from what I read.
The image ont the left is a screenshot (apple+shift+4) from a jpeg export, 72 dpi, 1288px large side.
The image on the right is a screenshot (apple+shift+4) from a screenshot (apple+shift+4) from de the dev screen in LR, 'fit' view mode, 72dpi 1288px large side.
Both have a different size here because I didn't draw the same sized rectangles when taking the screen shot.
As you can see, there is a lot of noise that I don't see in the dev screen. The screenshot on the right is almost exactly what I see, except that it is a bit less sharper
due to jpeg compression, but it still is a better result than the compression of Lr itself. Should I process like this now instead of using export????
I loose sharpness but it has an overall neater look. The jpeg export is really crappy!
I did used a tiny bit of noise reduction and sharpening (23 - 22 respectively) and this has been shot at ISO 800, 5D miii.
The crop applied in Lr is maybe 8-10% so really not much. I avoid cropping as much as possible.
I updated to 5.3 and issue is resolved for me

IPhoto-edited images exported to JPEG & copied to DropBox don't open

I know this is a permissions issue, but I can't figure it out.
Images I have edited in iPhoto and export to JPEG cannot be copied to another user's DropBox on another Mac on my network. He can't see or open the images. Copying files that were in iPhoto but not edited CAN be opened.
Tried playing with the permissions settings of the DropBox folder and the Public folder to no avail.
Tried copying the same file to a different user's directory on the same 2nd Mac after authenticating as that user (rather than as Guest for the DropBox) and the file copies OK.
Trying to get this user's Mac's public folder set up so I can send him pics, but it is not working, and I can't figure this out!

Exporting as JPEG

I'm trying to export my D70s RAW files as JPEGs from Aperture and the end result is total garbage - very pixelated. Another useless feature of Aperture.
It's looking more and more like I've just wasted $500 and despite what Apple is claiming the wait still continues for one-stop software that can deal with all the pro photographers workflow/management needs.

I'm also experiencing heavy pixelation when exporting as JPEG from Aperture -- at least at reduced sizes (as for web galleries).
Here are some samples:
http://crimdom.net/photos/2005/africa/aperture-issue/index.html
It looks like excessive sharpening or a lack of anti-aliasing when reducing images via export.
I'm thrilled with the potential of Aperture in terms of workflow and managing versions but also very much needing to see issues like this addressed. In the meantime, I guess I'm going to have to export the full-size revisions and use something else to resize them. Erg.

Exporting to jpeg with grayscale images on the page crashes Indesign

Hi,
I have noticed a bug in Indesign CS4.
When I have grayscale psd images on a page the export to jpeg crashes.
- R

That's been happening to me too, but I didn't realize it was just the grayscale .psd causing it, since I never use the feature in the real world and was only trying to confirm a posted behavior.

I have a 5x7 invitation I made in illustrator. I need to export it to a friend for her to print but everytime I export to jpeg it comes out as a 8x10. How do I send a high quality 5x7 image to someone?

I have a 5x7 invitation I made in illustrator. I need to export a high quality image it to a friend for her to print but everytime I export to jpeg it comes out way bigger than a 5x7. How do I send a specific size to someone? Do i need to use photoshop? Please help. Thanks!!

Elizabeth,
It sounds as if the Artboard is 8 x 10. It should fit the Artwork (at 5 x 7).

White becomes red on export to JPEG - why?

I'm working with photos in lightroom, adjust colors etc. And finally export files to JPEG-format to use them with websites. However: White in lightroom becomes super-soft-red after export to jpeg.
Can someone please help?
Some data that might help:

Lightroom for Mac
Monitor calibrated using Spyder 2
Shooting RAW with SRGB
I've checked all settings in lightroom but don't find any answer.
Thanks in advance
Andreas

>The problem is the difference between my workspace (lightroom) and the resulting JPEG (lightroom export). All my JPEG-exports from lightroom have more red than the version in lightroom.
If you are really exporting to sRGB jpegs (again, shooting in sRGB mode on your camera has NO impact on the RAW files - check whether the export settings in Lightroom are set to sRGB!), there are usually several possible causes for the redshift.
1. Your screen calibration is bad. This is very common and the fix is usually trashing the monitor profile and creating a new one. A common issue is bad monitor profiles supplied by monitor vendors.
2. You are using a wide gamut monitor such as an Eizo, one of the Dell HC screens, etc., and are viewing the exports in unmanaged apps. If you have a monitor that has a gamut significantly different from sRGB, you cannot use unmanaged apps, such as Internet explorer or Firefox 2.0 (basically every windows app except for Vista picture viewer basically), to judge color of your images. You need to use color managed apps, such as Safari, Photoshop, etc. to judge the color. Viewing sRGB images in unmanaged apps on such a screen will make your image appear oversaturated.
3. You are using a dual monitor setup and the OS is confused which profile belongs to which screen. Especially on windows, it is often not possible to really correct for two different screens even if the software tells you it does. This can be hard to diagnose, but usually it just takes plugging out one monitor and recalibrating the one that is still connected.
In conclusion, If you have a typical normal-gamut monitor and you have calibrated correctly, you should see almost NO shift when exporting to sRGB jpegs and viewing in unmanaged apps. The images should look identical in apps that are managed.
