Problem with colors and bits

So I have this problem, I made a drawing with my tablet in 32bit color in photoshop and I want to save it as a TIFF file, but when I save it the image that is the tiff file is black and white and the cuality is not good.I think there is some kind of problem with the RGB color.If someone can tell me how to fix this ?
Also when I try to change the image to 16 or 8 bit(so I can save it as a JPEG file), it looses all its effect like details made with brush with low opacity.I really hope someone can help me out

Just to be clear, 32 bit color (when used with an RGB image) is 32 bits each for red, green, and blue = 96 bits / pixel.
The use of images carrying 32 bit color is uncommon, and this format is used primarily in editing to deal with High Dynamic Range imagery.  I suspect whatever tool you're using to view the TIFF you saved with 32 bit color is unable to deal with the format, which is why you're seeing it looking poorly and in black and white.
Your instinct is correct to reduce the bit depth to save in a more common format.
However, you should not be seeing a visible degradation when reducing the bit depth to 16 bits / channel.  That's still a very accurate format.  How are you "changing the image to 16 or 8 bit", specifically?

    Hi
    I have a problem with color prints from photoshop elements 12. The pictures are too light and with strange colors. I have a Canon pixma mg615I0 printer and use mac os X yosemite. The pictures are taken with a coanon eos 550d in the color space sRGB. I have followed adobes recommendations and have tried both letting the printer respektive photoshop manage the colors. But nothing works. I see that there are different opinions about which is best to do so I tried both. I have the latest printer driver installed. Can anyone help me with this?

    Do the following:
    Print a test page from the printer. Perhaps the print head needs cleaning via its maintenance facility.
    Let the printer manage colors, not PSE
    Calibrate the monitor

  • Problems with colors running CS4 and W7.

    Hey everyone.
    I'm having some MASSIVE problems with colors on my system.
    Windows 7 Prof 64bit
    Photoshop CS4 64bit
    6g Ram
    1T hard drive
    Nvidia GeForce 9800 GTX+
    Dell SE198WFP Monitor 
    The system itself is a Dell Inspiron 530 that I put into a Black Widow V9 gaming tower. 
    Here is an example of the issue I'm having: 
    http://findae.deviantart.com/art/Converge-101214480
    http://i38.tinypic.com/bjcymr.jpg 
    The top image is a (admittedly old and crappy, but it shows the problem) photo that I had previously edited and put in my portfolio. The tinypic below is the result of copying that photo from the portfolio, pasting it into photoshop, and then saving it into a jpg. As you can see, the transitions between colors and the contrast are a complete mess. 
    Thing is, my hard drive recently quit on me, and I had to install the operating system and such on a new drive. I remember having this problem with the system when I first had it, but it either went away on its own or I fixed it somehow before. Now I can't remember for the life of me how I got rid of the problem, and I certainly don't know what the problem is in the first place. I'm tempted to think it may not be photoshop itself, but the problem seems to be especially bad when I'm working with photos. 
    Anyone have any idea what the problem might be and how to solve it? 
    Edit: I also noticed it when viewing http://findae.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d1hni37 in firefox, whereas the other photo appeared to be ok before I copied and pasted it. It has extremely obvious lines of green and orange in the transition from light skin tone to dark skin tone. Annoyingly enough, this doesn't show up in the thumbnail within my gallery at all, only when I click on the thumbnail and see the fullsize image. Extremely frustrating.  
    Here's another good look at the problem while selecting a color in photoshop: http://i37.tinypic.com/2h6t7gh.jpg  All I did was screenshot it a few times, and it deteriorated to that point.

    Screen glitches like color blocks appearing where they shouldn't could indicate a problem with your video drivers.
    Go to the nVidia site and see if they've released any updated drivers; people often report that updated drivers are correcting current problems with Photoshop.

  • Problems with Safari and Firefox (HTTP?)

    Problems with Safari and Firefox (HTTP?)
    On a laptop G4, 10.5.8 and Safari 5.02 I experience the following:
    On the account of my oldest daughter everything works fine, i.e. wireless internet works and no problems with mail or safari.
    On the same laptop, on the account of my other daughter, the wireless is OK, she can mail etc. But safari nor firefox works. It says: can’t find server (whatever site) and in the activity window it looks if safari tries to open files (in the safari preferences-folder) in stead of http. Same applies to Firefox, so maybe it has more to do with HTTP in general?
    What goes wrong? What to do? I tried the following on the host terminal (tips from Apple)
    defaults write com.apple.safari WebKitDNSPrefetchingEnabled -boolean false
    and
    defaults delete com.apple.safari WebKitDNSPrefetchingEnabled
    but that did not help,
    Nanne

    I'm still wondering why it happens now at this moment in time...
    PC does seem to be a bit odd & inconsistent, the few times I've tested with it, at least so far as we content filtering goes; and if I remember rightly, you're not the first to report previously ok settings suddenly preventing some or all internet until pc is switched off altogether.
    It may work when re-enabled

  • Problem with ADS and LDAP

    Problem with ADS and LDAP
    I have installed Win2000 + sp1 and ADS on a computer. This computer is PDC.
    After connection via LDAP I cann't get any object ( users or goups etc. ).
    I try connect to ADS by java ( JNDI ).
    When I use another clients of LDAP ( eg. Maxware Directory Explorer) I have
    the same problem - no objects.
    Can anybody help me?

    Grzegorz,
    I have had WLS6.1 & ADS working ok using LDAP V2. Mind you it did take
    a
    fair bit of messing around to get it going. MS does have a few oddities,
    for example the Administrators DN might look something like this:
    cn=Administrator,cn=Users,dc=eglobal,dc=net
    One tool that I found invaluable came with the additional support tools
    for Windows 2000. The 'Active Directory Administration Tool' made it
    easy to list the directory contents and examine the DNs.

  • Problem with writing and reading using serialization

    I am having a problem with writing and reading an object that has another object in it. The purpose of the class is to write a order that has multiple items in it. And there will be several orders. This is for an IB project, where one of the requirements is to utilize a hierarchical composite data structure. That is, it is "one that contains more than one element and at least one of the elements is a composite data structure. Examples are, an array or linked list of records, a record that has one field that is another record, or an array". The code is shown below:

    My apologies about not explaining further about disabling SPDIF passthrough. See the steps below to enable DDL encoding.
    ***Before proceeding please make sure that you've purchased, installed and activated the DDL pack***
    . Open Creative Audio Console, go to the Decoder tab to disable driver level encoding and enable SPDIF passthrough (this is done by selecting SPDIF passthrough or any similar option that enable the use of an external decoder) instead of using the built-in decoders.
    2. Open up your playback devices window (right click on the speaker icon on the taskbar and select playback devices) and set analog speakers (not SPDIF) as your default device. This is VERY IMPORTANT step, or else you get the "the device is busy" error when enbaling DDL encoding.
    3. In the Audio Console, select the Encoder tab and enable DLL encoding.
    Note:
    When DDL encoding is enabled, it makes exclusi've use of your SPDIF connection so, no passthrough is possible. The default output format when using DDL encoding is 48KHz/6 bits. If you make use of any AC3 audio filters (such as ac3filter/others included in codec packs/media player softwares) when DLL encoding is enabled, then please change their output device to analog speakers instead of SPDIF.
    To use back SPDIF passthrough (when playing back media with a pre-encoded audio source), open up Audio Console and disable DDL encoding and in the Playback Devices window change the default device to SPDIF. If you make use of any AC3 audio filters (such as ac3filter/others included in codec packs/media player softwares) then please change their output device back to SPDIF. You may also wish to change back your output format to 92KHz/24 bits (right click on SPDIF and select properties -> Advanced tab).

  • [SOLVED] Problem with Vuze and Java RE x86_64

    Hello all !
    First of all, sorry if this issue was posted before, but find no related issue similar to mine.
    Using pacman, I successfully installed JRE (version 6u16-1-x86_64) and Vuze (version 4.2.0.8-1, former Azureus), but Vuze doesn't want to start.
    Running the Vuze's executable in the gnome-terminal, I notice messages from vuze informing it can't find Java executable ("Java exec not found in PATH, starting auto-search..." AND "OOPS, unable to locate java exec in /usr/java/latest /usr/java /usr/lib/jvm/latest /usr/lib/jvm hierarchy") and therefore cannot start the Vuze UI. I also tried but failed in verify the version of Java with the command "java -version" due to command not found.
    What is the best approach to fix this problem with Java 64 bits?
    Thanks in advance

  • I'm having a problem with coreaudiotoolbox and corevideo.dll.

    I'm having a problem with coreaudiotoolbox and corevideo.dll. PC was corrupted, I restored. Now when I launch Safari, I run into errors, can't find these two dll files. Itunes won't download at all because it says something is missing but won't say what. Now what do I do? Apple won't help because they want $50 dollars just to talk with me and I've been down that road before and to no satisfaction. Help please!!

    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with Apple Application Support program files there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept, so an AAS problem can affect both iTunes and Safari.)
    Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. Now head into your Add or Remove programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click Repair.
    If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post (although it's for Vista and 7, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things):

    http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=120198
    Would be nice if you had a look on it, maybe you can help me. BTW, the
    thread starts with a problem of someone else, the difficulties I
    encountered are to be found a little bit to the bottom of the thread's
    page.
    Thank you!

  • Problem with tpcall and tpgetrply functions

    Hi,
    I have a problem with tpcall() and tpgetrply() functions.
    In this example (invoke tpcall()):
    FBFR32 *buf;
    FLDLEN32 buflen;
    buf = a_buffer.getBuffer(); /* getBuffer() returns FBFR32* */
    buflen = a_buffer.getLongitud();
    /* at this point: buf == a_buffer.getBuffer() */
    if (tpcall(a_contenedor.getServname(),
    (char*)a_contenedor.getBufferPeticion()->getBuffer(),
    a_contenedor.getBufferPeticion()->getLongitud(),
    (char**)&buf,
    (long*)&buflen,
    0) == -1)
    if (tperrno != TPESVCFAIL)
    LANZAR_EXCEPCION(CADENA_WHAT_SB,
    "Error en funcion Execute(), llamada tpcall()",
    tpstrerror(tperrno))
    /* at this point: buf != a_buffer.getBuffer() */
    tpcall() function change the memory address of buf. What is the problem? Is wrong my code? Is a problem with tuxedo version?
    My tuxedo version is:
    tmadmin -vINFO: BEA Tuxedo, Version 8.0, 32-bit, Patch Level 306
    INFO: Serial #: 650522264137-773290431251, Expiration NONE, Maxusers 150
    INFO: Licensed to: Telefonica Moviles Espa?a, S.A.
    INFO: 56-bit Encryption Package
    Thanks,
    ANTONIO.

    There's nothing wrong with your code or tuxedo. tpcall (and tpgetrply) can change the address of the return buffer if it needs to allocate more memory to hold the data. This is the reason why you pass a pointer to the buffer as the output buffer parameter to tpcall and tpreturn. Everything is working as expected.

  • Problem with TextInput and RadioButton

    Hi,
    I've encountered a problem with TextInput and RadioButtons.
    I've created some text fields and radio buttons for a
    feedback form under a movie _root.feedback.
    But for some reason, I can't seem to enter text into the text
    field (no blinking cursor), and I can't see the "label" next to my
    radio buttons.
    Just as a workaround, I tried moving these fields to _root,
    and now I can enter text and see the radio button labels.
    But to keep my hierarchy clean, I want to use a the
    _root.feedback movie for my feedback fields. Any ideas what could
    be going wrong? I checked Window -> Component Inspector, and
    these textInput fields are enabled.
    Stuck.
    Thanks.

    Is the text the same color as the background or do you need
    embedded fonts?

  • Problems with SwingWorker and classes in my new job, ;), can you help me?

    Hi all, ;)
    First of all, sorry about my poor English.
    I have a problem with Swing and Threads, I hope you help me (because I'm in the firsts two weeks in my new job)
    I have two classes:
    Form1: Its a JPanel class with JProgressBar and JLabel inside.
    FormularioApplet: (the main) Its a JPanel class with a form1 inside.
    I have to download a file from a server and show the progress of the download in the JProgressBar. To make it I do this:
    In Form1 I make a Thread that update the progress bar and gets the fole from the server.
    In FormularioApplet (the main) I call to the method getDownloadedFile from Form1 to get the File.
    THE PROBLEM:
    The execution of FormularioApplet finishes before the Thread of Form1 (with download the file) download the file. Then, when I call in FormularioApplet the variable with the file an Exception: Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-1" java.lang.NullPointerException is generated.
    First main begins his execution, then call to Form1 (a thread) then continues his execution and when the execution is finished ends the execution os Form1 and his thread.
    How can I do for main class call the function and the Thread download his file after main class assign the file of return method?
    How can I pass information froma class include an a main class. Form1 can't send to main (because main class made a Form1 f1 = new Form1()) any information from his end of the execution. I think if Form1 can say to main class that he finishes is job, then main class can gets the file.
    I put in bold the important lines.
    Note: My level of JAVA, you can see, is not elevated.
    THANKS A LOT

    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • Problem with exporting and printing from pages to PDF

    I have a problem with my Pages
    My font will not be embeded in my pdf files.
    I have saved as a ps file and in to the destiller and my fonts are missing.
    I need to send my file to the print shop but they will not accept my file and i now understand why.
    fonts are missing...
    Is there a workaround.
    I have no problem in Indesign or quark but pages.....
    I need help
    thanks a zillion

    The font is coming from a notation software Sibelius 4 and is namned opus
    Hmmm ... Sibelius is a music notation software and notations are marked up in MusicXML. Presumably the font file is an SFNT with TrueType splines, but it is probably not installed in OS X system folders - rather in an internal Sibelius application font folder. So presumably you do not see the font in FontBook and OS X font auditing does not apply to the font.
    Sibelius exports EPS files, right? If memory serves, an EPS is still legal even if the font resource is not embedded. And in any case, we know from the behaviour that the font resource is not embedded for some reason. So how do you get Sibelius to put the font resource inside the graphic ... normally there is a button in the EPS export procedure that gives you the option to Embed All Fonts.
    You do not seem to get this button, though. Or why else would you not have checked it already and the problem would have gone away already.
    The next point in troubleshooting this is that you are not following the path that would let OS X detect that an external font resource is not embedded.
    I go from pages-print-printer- acrobat Pro 8-save as Pdf-x
    What you are doing here is telling Pages to tell OS X to generate a PostScript program within which is nested your Encapsulated PostScript program with the call to an unresolved external font resource.
    So why does Acrobat Pro not detect the unresolved external font resource? Hmm ... did you try the Preflight option in Acrobat 8 Pro? It should provide information on unresolved embeddings.
    I have also tried pages-print-printer- acrobat Pro 8 and save pdf as postscript and put the postscript file in destiller 8 pro with defalt setting high quality print
    The whole problem with EPS and PS is that this sort of situation is possible in the first place (plus, what is worse, the PS program can include custom additions to the graphics model that then fail in the PS interpreter whence Apple GX normalizing, Adobe Distiller normalizing, and Apple Quartz normalizing). You want to get as far away from EPS and PS as possible, believe me.
    So, you have not done what I posted that you should do in the first place. If I were you, I would first get rid of the problem that the EPS is making a call to an external font and then get rid of the problem that the PostScript is preserving the external call.
    To get rid of the problem that the EPS is preserving an external call, simply open the EPS in Apple Preview which includes a NORMALIZER for EPS/PS, and then save out the graphic as PDF. Alternatively, if you don't trust Quartz for some reason, set up a hotfolder for Distiller, make sure the option to embed all fonts is enabled, and convert the EPS to PDF.
    Now replace your EPS in Pages with PDF in Pages, and don't save PostScript to disk but save PDF to disk through the proper procedure which is File > Print > PDF > Save as PDF/X [for your custom configuration of the PDF/X-3 filter considering that no sane person in North Europe prints lowend US SWOP, we use ISO].
    If you begin by telling OS X that you want PDF within which fonts are supposed to be embedded ALWAYS, then you have started the right way. Otherwise, you have not told the operating system what you want to do, and this then leads you into places where you are unlikely to have the expertise to troubleshoot problems.
    So, forget placing EPS in the first place, place PDF. And forget saving PostScript to disk, save PDF to disk. If that does not sort your problem, here is the dirty solution for professional prepress.
    Adobe Photoshop has an EPS rasterizer that has wide tolerances for poor PostScript programming (so does Adobe Illustrator 6 and higher by the way).
    Therefore, if an EPS is posing problems, one workaround is to rasterize the EPS at high resolution in Photoshop and place that high resolution PDF in your layout.
    Take care that you rasterize as 1 bit at the required resolution of the print provider, probably 2450 dpi. When you save the 1 bit as PDF, Photoshop automatically compresses to a very, very small file (don't be surprised if 15Mb compresses to something like 0.5Mb).
    Rasterizing in Photoshop should not be necessary if you simply start by telling the operating system what it is you are trying to do. Then the operating system should be able to take the right decisions for you, and tell if you if finds problems it cannot resolve without turning to you.
    Good luck,
