PS CC Image Size Looks Different

This may be in here somewhere, but I didn't see it....
I very recently switched from CS6 to CC.
I edited an image, made a selection, blurred the selection, did my normal processing, then sent it back to LR5.
In LR5 I cropped and exported to 1280 px on the longest side. Image looked as edited...
Later I got to thinking about sharpening and decided to try cropping and resizing in CC so I could sharpen just the areas that were sharp.
Cropped the image as desired, then did image/image size and cropped to 1280 px. The area I blurred is DRASTICALLY different - much blurrier.
Went back in history and did a stamp visible, then repeated the crop and resize. Image now looks as it should.
Tried it with the "scale styles" turned ON and OFF. No difference. In theory I've inserted both images.....
This appears to be very different behavior than I've seen in previous versions. What do I have set wrong?

Hi Noel,
I opened the image from LR5 as a standard image.
On the original layer, I did the selection of the background. Feathered it 1 px.
With the selection on, I duplicated it, which gave me a layer that only contained the background. This way, when it's blurred, it can't blur pixels where the sharp areas are.
I converted the new layer to a smart object.
I then did a filter/blur/gaussian blur of 4 px so I'd have a smart filter. Looked, fiddled, adjusted the filter eventually to 6 px.
From that point I did my normal
clone/heal on a layer
dodging on a 50% gray overlay layer
burning on a 50% gray overlay layer
Adjust contrast/brightness/whatever on a curves layer
Adjust saturation on a hue/sat layer
save the psd...
Crop using the crop tool - no set size, just removing excess stuff
Do image/image size to resize to 1280 px -- this is the point where the background blur changes
IF, on the other hand, prior to cropping, I do a merge visible (with alt down - stamp visible?), I can then crop and resize and the background doesn't change...
I presume I"m doing something wrong in the image size dialog, but I don't see it. I've tried it with the scale styles on and off - no difference...
If there's any other info you need, let me know.

After saving as jpeg images sometimes look different in other programs or online.

Any ideas how to get more consistent results would be appreciated.

If every application and system were properly color-managed it would be possible to get consistent color everywhere.
As it is, that's simply not the case.
Many folks feel that publishing an image in the sRGB IEC61966-2.1 profile is the best approach. There is debate about whether to publish a profile in the image to identify to systems/browsers that have proper color-management that it is using that profile - my opinion is that you should do so.
If you have a wide-gamut monitor that doesn't closely emulate the sRGB profile, and assuming you have it calibrated and profiled, you will see different things when you display an sRGB image using a fully color-managed application (e.g., Photoshop), a partially color-managed application (e.g., Internet Explorer), or a non-color-managed applications (e.g., an older viewer application). That is to be expected.
The various browsers implement different levels of color-management. I mentioned that IE only does half the job - it interprets image color profiles, but it assumes every monitor is sRGB regardless of its profile. Firefox can do a full job of color-management, even including non-image web page element color-management, but it takes reconfiguration to do so. Safari only does image color-management, not web page elements. Last I looked Chrome ignored color-management entirely.
Create your image in the sRGB color-space, trust what you see on your calibrated and profiled system when the image is displayed in Photoshop - i.e., make the colors look right there - and make your own choice about whether to publish with the sRGB profile embedded. That's about the best you can do.

Why does my flash image viewer look different in firefox than in IE...

So I have created a horizontal spry bar that overlaps a flash image viewer slide show. When i load the page in IE everything works fine, but as soon as you open it in firefox it works improperly...you can hit refresh in firefox and sometimes it resizes the image I don't understand how that is possible....if you have any input it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

You need to be aware of the limitations of the various browsers and make sure you use web-safe fonts and colors.....

Do a Command A on all your pages in iWeb to make sure that objects/text boxes are not touching or overlapping.
Firefox has problems with displaying drop shadows/frames etc.

Photos in Develop module look different when switching to library module

Hello everyone this is my first post on adobe. I ran into a problem today for the first time using lightroom 5. I recently purchased lightroom 5 about 2 weeks ago and have been in love using it. I have ran into 0 problems until today. I uploaded some new photos and was going through them under the develop module editing the photos and what not. When I am done editing I usually go to the library module and export them.
Today I tried to do that exact thing and ran into this issue: the colors in the photo are changing ever so slightly when I switch to the library module and are not exporting exactly as I edited them in the develop module.
I have tried changing the contrast/clarity to see if it would remain when switching and it does. But for some reason the yellow on the flower in the picture becomes less vibrant when seen/exported from library module. It is very frustrating because I spend alot of time editing the photo in a develop module and every transfers but the colors it seems. It becomes more dull and less vibrant.
It is not the photo itself. I think it is something wrong with my lightroom? I uninstalled and reinstalled and the same issue keeps happening.

Just to clarify. When you compare the exported image to the original inside LR do they look the same when viewed together in the Library module, and how about when both are viewed in the Develop module? Are you using a wide gamut monitor and do you also use a hardware monitor calibrator? All of these things affect how images looks in LR and some are fixable, but others are not as Web Weaver posted.
There is also another issue that can cause the Library module view and exported images to look different than they do in the Develop module:
http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/afm8rbh6tnc31
The solution is to view the image at 1:1 (100%) view size. You can also use more conservative Sharpening settings (i.e. lower) and more aggressive Luminance Noise Reduction settings (i.e. higher), which will significantly decrease the view difference.

Photos synced through iTunes look different colours

After I sync my iOS devices (iPad 3 & iPhone 4S) with iTunes (Windows 7), the colour profiles get altered on the iOS devices. Here is an example:
Original photo:
Photo after iTunes sync:
I've tried removing all photos from the devices, deleting the iPod photo cache in Windows & uninstalled/reinstalled iTunes but it hasn't helped. If I manually copy the photo back to PC, it looks fine, but if I take a screenshot of altered image on iOS device & copy to the PC, it looks like the (altered) image above.
PLEASE HELP!!!!

Why when i convert to black and white and change, contrast, exposure etc and get it right in preview i open it and its brighter and looks different to the preview?

The images also look different in preview and when i upload them to adobe Revel but when i put them back in photoshop they look Ok.

I convert, in raw to black and white and add sharpness and clarity theirs and a few other options Temp etc if need be. Then i open them into photo shop as black and white. There i place around with the exposure setting but as you do it you have the preview button clicked so you see what the finished photo will look like. When i hit change normally the photo changes and looks like it was in the preview.But now with out changing any settings in photoshop, as i change the photo the preview is different when i click ok to make the changes. This comes and goes in photoshop and its getting a bit frustrating as i do a lot of black and white photos and have been doing for years but i am having this problem over the last 6 months.
No i haven't changed colour settings i have photoshop on the preset settings.
'Preview" when you are changing contrast etc their is the preview option so it shows in photoshop what the changes will be. But what i see when i am changing it is different when i open it. make be a point brighter or not as contrasty as i see it as i am changing the settings.

Image size different in debug and publish

My project is purely actionscript based movie. I am trying to
display an image file (jpg) that is received from the movie server.
The image file displays with corect zoom dimensions when in
development environment but after the movie is published...the
image displays full size (612x494). It gets more
wierd...occassionally it works correctly (displays image with
correct zoom) after several tries of publishing the movie.
Any ideas what might be the cause of this? Please help!!!

Why jpeg file exported from Aperture with 300 dpi's it opens with 72 dpi's on PS ( image size)? I've tried several combinations and all give different results. And I am confused on what is the best workflow for me.

Ok.
My workflow is
RAW > Aperture Library > export jpeg high resolution 300 dpi's > one file on PS > edit > Save us jpeg. The I realised that files from PS were being save in a smaller size from the ones exported form Aperture. That is when I went o see <image size> on PS and files were with 72.
Since ten I've trying different things
1. Aperture > export as PSD > open on PS > edit > Save us jpeg = small file (around 15 MB)
2. Aperture > export as jpeg high resolution 300 dpi's > open on PS > CHANGE dpi's to 300 on <image size> edit > Save us jpeg = big file (Huge, actually)
What am I doing wrong? Would someone give me guidance and tell me what is the best workflow, considering I edit photos to deliver to my clients and I shall give them 300 dpi's.
Thank you

CS5 Image Processor - One script, different image sizes and save locations

Hello guys!
is it possible to make one script to convert several images to different image sizes which should be saved in different locations?
The xml structure is clear, but photoshop accepts only the second "script" if i load a test xml file with two scripts in it.
Thanks a lot !!!
Best Regards,
Tobias

Hey!
i solved the problem with an action in which i changed the picture size 4 times (4 times saving for web included)
its perfect for my needs!
thanks anyway

Bug? Corrupt Tones / Colours - Image looks different in photoshop

Hi,
Am hoping somebody can help me as I must be doing something really stupid here. I'm currently evaluating various workflow products, and really like Lightroom but find that whenever I import an image into LR the tones, particular shadow tones, look way too dark. They look kinda posterised.
My monitor is color calibrated with a spyder. I am running Windows XP.
I've attached a link to an image to demonstrate. I took an sRGB JPEG and imported into LR. I then edited a copy in PS (exported as ProPhoto - converted in PS to Adobe 1988 colorspace), another copy is shown exported to Capture NX (also Adobe colorspace).
http://www.hamiltonconsulting.net/strange%20tones.jpg
if you look at the shadow tones in the folds of the jacket you can see a minor difference between PS and Capture NX but you can see a clear difference in LR. The shadows are way darker.
The image opens fine it every other application I have tried, including the free XP viewers. LR is doing something strange to the file but I cant work out what.
I first noticed the problem occuring in Beta 4.1 and am now getting the same issue in the new Lightroom demo ( I had hoped it was a bug that would have been fixed). I have been installing all sorts of evaluation software of late, so maybe something hasnt been cleaned out of my registry, or something is clashing.
So far, I've tried lots of different images (all with the same problem). Recreating an image database. Reinstalling LR (countless times).
Does anyone have any ideas as to what I can try or do I need to reinstall my entire PC :-(

The image on the left in PS looks the same in Picasa Image
Viewer (I selected it to be color managed based on the monitor profile), looks the same in Windows Image Viewer, and looks the same in the thumbnail.

Lightroom Image Looks Different than in Windows Viewer/CS5/etc.

I've seen this discussed elsewhere, but I believe the nature of my issue may be a bit different, so please excuse the repeat inquiry.
I'm currently using Lightroom 3 on a 17' Samsung Syncmaster 920NW on two different desktops. The hardware configuration for each machine is also identical, with only a few minor exceptions. However, the images on one machine display drastically differently in Lightroom, as opposed to any other Windows application. I've updated the video drivers for both computers, reinstalled the monitor drivers for both, and have uninstalled/reinstalled Lightroom on both with no success in remedying the discrepancy.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated in finding a solution to this issue. It's very frustrating to be anchored down to one desktop due to the inconsistencies of the other.
Thanks!

You need to calibrate both monitors to identical settings, the luminance value being very important, using an appropriate calibration tool and software.
Spyder Elite software has a specific settings too enable you to match monitors across machines in a studio setting, or from a desk top to a laptop. Without calibration images in viewed in colour managed applications will always look different. If you do not wish to colour manage you can always set a colour space such as sRGB as a monitor profile on all the machines, the only difference you will see then will be down to the luminance value of the monitor. However this will mean images viewed on other peoples screens may differ markedly from your own. The real solution to colour problems is to use colour management and this means calibration of your monitor as a basic requirement.

Need help The image I saw on the LCD looks different than the actual photo

i had canon camera and had problem The image I saw on the LCD looks different than the actual photo.any body can kelp me
[IMG]http://tralalatrilili.ga/thanks.png[/IMG]

Do you capture in RAW or JPEG? What software do you use to view your image? Is your monitor calibrated? What is the brightness level on your camera LCD? All of these information can affect your image. And keep in mind that image on the back of the camera is often brighter and more saturated.

Jpeg looks different than actual Image in Photoshop (saving Issues)

My image in photoshop has thin lines, but when I save it, the jpeg shows the image with very thick dark lines, looking not like the image in photoshop. Why does it do this? How can I stop PS from doing this to my image? I want the image to look as it does in Photoshop when I save it as a Jpeg.
This is in Photoshop CS4
As it should be (using the snipping tool (I can't use the snipping tool as my only option, because it will only capture the size as it is on the screen, not the actual dimensions in Photoshop)
Saved as a Jpeg; the lines are thicker, and now there is little variation in line weight
Does anyone have a solution? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Just one comment... Your lines in your screen grab are NOT thinner, they are simply a good bit lighter.
You should try to use the proper terminology, because you will end up realizing, when C.Pfaffenbichler helps you get to the bottom of your problem, that you likely are experiencing a gamma/color-management issue causing your pixels to be displayed far more lightly in one case than another.
Besides your color settings in Photoshop, it will also be helpful to know what color profile is associated with your monitor at the operating system level.
-Noel
P.S., I don't know what result you're going for, but the JPEG with the darker lines looks a lot better on a calibrated display. The screen grab seems too light.

Image looks different in Photoshop and Lightroom

I started a forum on flickr and I have some issues with my images. I have calibrated monitor but my images look off online even though I saved them as sRGB. Now my image looks one way in PS and then when I finish editing it and save it, I import it into lightroom and it looks different.
Same image, but it looks different.
