PSE 12 uploads to Adobe Showcase convert to poor quality low-res JPG's! Totally unacceptable output!!

I'm using PSE 11. Within the organizer, I uploaded some pics to Adobe Photoshop Showcase (which I did since Adobe abandoned their former well-working photoshop.com). Apparently, the PSD formats of my pics were converted to JPG's which is okay, I guess, if that's the way it has to be, but the resulting resolution was absolutely horrible! I worked a long time on my pics, and was extremely upset when I viewed them on Showcase with all the jagged edges and other impurities caused by low resolution. Is it possible to upload my pics without them being converted to low-res JPG format?? Or at least a high-res JPG?? I never had this problem with photoshop.com.
Thanks for any help.

Yes, as an experiment, I took one of my PSD files and converted it into a JPG on my computer, using a compression/quality setting of "maximum". As I viewed the JPG in Photoshop Elements, the output quality was excellent. So, next I uploaded the same JPG to Photoshop Showcase, which I did within the organizer. During the upload process, there was no option available for compression/quality setting. When I viewed the JPG file in Adobe Photoshop Showcase, the output was once again quite horrible, and it was obvious that Adobe automatically converts uploads to the very poorest JPG quality possible -- probably to save space on their website. I think that Adobe made an unfortunate move when they abandoned their previous photo-sharing site, photoshop.com.  Although I appreciate your input in this matter, I think I'll be looking elsewhere for a decent photo-sharing site (which won't include Adobe's costly "Revel").
Thanks again,
J

    Why are my adobe complete picture vidios poor quality

    I think the OP is refering to this:  http://tv.adobe.com/show/the-complete-picture-with-julieanne-kost/
    There are buttons in the lower right corner for adjusting the playback quality.  The better choices require a fast internet connection. 

  • New adobe DNG converter and CS4 quality problems - EOS 7D

    Hi,
    A friend of mine uses Adobe Photoshop CS2.
    He plans to buy Canon EOS 7D or EOS 5D Mark II in the future but first we did some tests and conversions.
    We found many problems and quality issues.
    First Problem is that CS2 doesn't support Canon EOS 7D directly so user has to use DNG Converter to convert the EOS 7D file from .cr2 to a .dng.
    When i use and test this, CS2 recognizes and opens .dng file correctly then i optimize sharpness, color etc etc in the photoshop and save the file from the file menu (Save AS) as .jpg file.
    Adobe Photoshop CS2 fails to save exif data.
    It just saves the camera model nothing else.
    On the other hand if i use CS4 it saves all exif data (without dng):
    The next problem is quality.
    If i use indentical settings in RAW converted between CS2 (dng) and CS4 (cr2) CS2 images look sharper and have more "per pixel sharpness" than CS4 raw images.
    Here's a sample (raw file taken from dpreview.com) that i tested it using both raw converters:
    So these are two problems that i don't like nor does my friend and i am asking you if you would fix that and why such hudge difference ?
    As the CS4 is being the newest the best of all photoshop it should had better picture but in this case the older version has better picture and i don't see any logic in that.
    So if user wants to go for better quality he/she will pick CS2 but have a disadvantage - Exif is not saved in the .jpg file.
    I also think that if dpreview would have used CS2 instead of CS4 they would get much higher "per pixel sharpness" from Canon EOS 7D as they did now.
    Thanks.

    You can't use the exact same settings since the settings in ACR 3.x (Photoshop CS2) don't match up to ACR 5.x (Photoshop CS4).
    Seriously, there was a major change in ACR 4 and then 5 that make comparing ACR 3.x and 5.x pretty pointless...
    Fact is if you aren't getting optimal results from Camera Raw 5.x then you don't know how to use it...simple as that.
    ACR 3.x had a very crude image sharpening process compared to either ACR 4.1 and above of any 5.x version.
    Seriously, Photoshop CS2 and Camera Raw 3.x is way old tech...if you can't get better IQ from 5.x you are doing something wrong.

  • Why does iPhoto convert my pics to low res?

    I use an elderly MacBook (November 2007 model) with the edition of iPhoto that came with the computer. When I take photos with my digital camera and import them into iPhoto for editing, it always lowers the resolution. My original files are 300 dpi when I view them in Preview, and when I save the changes in iPhoto and export them as JPGs, even at maximum quality, the JPG files are always at 72 dpi.
    Since my editors require hi-res, cropped photos, this is getting incredibly frustrating! Is there a way to make iPhoto stop doing this? Or do I just need a new computer

    iPhoto doesn't change the images. The dpi means nothing at all unless you're printing. Maximum quality in the export settings refer to jpeg compression and have nothing to so with dpi.
    Long Answer: Dpi means nothing in the digital world of your computer. There are no "inches" to have "dots per..." Size is measured in pixels. That's the same on your camera. It doesn't take 10 x 8 or 6 x 4 shots. It takes shots measured in megapixels. For instance 4,000 x 3,000 is a 12 megapixel camera.
    Using that example, that shot from that camera has 12 million pixels. So that's how many "Dots" there are. To decide the ratio of dots per inch, you now need to decide the "inches" part. And that's printing. Print at 10 x 8 and the dpi will be 4,000/10 or about 400 dpi. At 6 x 4 then it's 4,000/6 or 660 dpi. Work the other way: Print at 300 dpi and the resulting image will be about 13 inches on the longer side.
    So, your photo as a fixed number of pixels. Changing the dimensions of the print will vary the dpi, changing the dpi will vary the dimensions of the print.

  • I have paid for adobe but everytime i try to upload a pdf to adobe and convert it to word it fails !!! i have been trying for days now

    Hi Scott,
    I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble using your Acrobat.com subscription. I've checked your account, and there are no issues there.
    Is the problem specific to one PDF file, or are you running into the same problem with multiple files? How large is the file (or files) that you're trying to upload? Are they complex (large number of pages; mix of text and graphics)?
    Let's start with some basic troubleshooting:
    Clear the browser cache and try again.
    Try a different browser (see System requirements | Acrobat.com for a list of supported browsers).
    Make sure that there are no firewall or proxy settings that are limiting your access to the Internet.
    Let us know how it goes. If you're still having trouble, we can take a closer look at the files that you're trying to convert.
    Best,
    Sara

  • How do I open RAW images from T1-XMG CR2?  Adobe DNG converter will not recognize these files.   HELP?

    How do I open RAW images with T1-XMG CR2? I have adobe DNG converter but it will not recognize these images.  I have had no problem with converting other images.  and ACR will not recognize them either.  Help!@

    The screenshot did come through once I added the period between dropbox and com, making URL:
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/o7q829t2n3uuuqg/screenshot%202014-07-01%2012.36.28.png
    The screenshot shows the first raw file is named T1-XMG_3306.CR2 which probably corresponds to a normal raw filename of IMG_3306.CR2.  It is not clear where this name came from.  I guess it is possible that you’ve entered in a renaming template in LR’s Import panel that replaces the initial I or _ with T1-XM and so the files are renamed. 
    What I have asked for is not a screenshot of your filenames, but one of the CR2 files, itself, which you can upload to dropbox and post a link to.  You should use copy/paste to get the link into a message, rather than typing it in, if at all possible.
    This is because it was my understanding that these oddly-named CR2 files don’t work, and I wanted to look more closely at them to see if they were recognizable as some other type of file.
    Do you have a raw file named IMG_3306.CR2 that these files correspond to?

  • Can't open .CR2 files in PhotoShop CS5, Camera RAW or Adobe DNG Converter

    Firstly take note I shot these with a Canon EOS 450D (or Rebel XSi)...
    I see a lot of answers speaking about having the most up to date version of the Camera RAW Plug-in.
    I have a similar issue with my .CR2 files... I cannot open them in Camera RAW because it tells me that my camera model or make is not supported by the Plug-in, and so I was directed by other forums to just try converting the .CR2 files to .DNG. I already had the Adobe DNG Converter (version 6.5 I believe), so I tried this. It too told me that my files or camera make were not supported.
    However, I have always been able to successfully both open my .CR2 files AND convert them to .DNG. I had not updated anything on my camera nor on my Adobe programs and for some reason this last attempt to open RAW files failed me... I have no idea what change would have led to it. Luckily I shot in both RAW and Large JPG but I certainly don't want to rely on my JPGs of course... Any idea why this problem might have arisen now if it had always worked easily in the past?
    Thanks!

    Are these the same exact files you've opened before that you cannot now open?
    Or are they newly copied files (camera or CF card to computer)?
    Can you not open ANY Canon 450D files, even those you find online and download?
    What I'm getting at with these questions is to try to eliminate or suspect data corruption of the files on your disk.
    Exactly what versions of the various tools do you have, specifically (don't guess - go check)?

  • How can I get the updates for Photoshop CS5 to download to my new Macbook Pro where I have already installed CS5 from my original disk? I have tried many times over 2 days. I was able to successfully download the current version of Adobe DNG converter.

I get the same error messages re downloading error. I successfully downloaded the current version of Adobe DNG Converter & it installed perfectly. Help please!

    The Adobe auto updater is highly unreliable.
    You need to look for and download the update yourself and then manually apply it as per the detailed instructions on the download page:

  • CS3 Bridge crashes when uploading an Adobe Media Gallery

    Each time I try to upload an Adobe Media Gallery directly from Bridge, the program crashes, without uploading anything. My FTP info is correct. Ive tried restarting my computer as well as trying out different FTP's to make sure that isn't the problem.
    I can create galleries and save them to my computer, but I'd much rather upload them directly from Bridge.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    I tried holding the ctrl buttom, the preferences reset, or any other window, would not launch. i tried the cnrl/shift/alt buttons, this did not work. i tried launching from quick start button, from the explorer exe, and still not able to get this to work. i even tried a few weeks back to uninstall and reinstall, but did not seem to work, i gave up until need it open now...
    are there any other tricks anyone has had luck with to get the preferences window to work?

  • Bug in Adobe DNG Converter 7.2 RC

    Adobe DNG Converter 7.2 RC (for Windows) keeps missing files. When pointing it at a folder containing many raw image files to convert (and providing a different folder as the destination for the converted files) then it won't always find all the raw files. There are no files besides the raw image files in the folder ... umm, with the possible exception of the hidden Bridge cache files, .BridgeCache and .BridgeCacheT. The destination folder initially is empty.
    When this happens then I have to re-do the conversion, with the same source and destination folders selected and the Skip source file if destination file exists check-box ticked. Then DNG Converter will collect and convert the raw image files it missed in the first run. So far, I never had to perform a third run, but I frequently have to do two runs to get a folder's raw files converted. For example, in my most recent attempt there where 966 raw image files in the source folder (of the type Sony ARW, along with XMP sidecar files), and DNG Converter found 954 files in the first run and the remaining 12 in the second. The bug also occurs when the folder contains mixed types (Sony ARW and Leica DNG in my case). There is no error message or any other kind of hint that something is going wrong, so you have to check the result manually. The status line at the top of the Conversion Status window teling the number of files to convert will report the number found; if that's less than the number of raw image files available then you'll have to start a second run when the first is finished. It's easy to miss the problem, and then you may end up with some files not converted!
    So far, the bug inevitably occurs when there are many raw image files in the source folder—i. e. more than 400 (and up to 1,200). When doing several attempts on the same source folder then the set of missed files will vary, i. e. it's not always the same files that get missed. It is not even always the same number; the number of missing files varies between, say, 5 and 20, i. e. approx. 0.5 - 5 % of the number of files in the folder. It seems that if the number of raw image files in the source folder is small (say, less than 300) then the bug does not happen. In my last successful attempt, I converted 263 files of type Leica DNG, and DNG Converter found them all on the first attempt.

    Does it matter what hard-drives the files are on, whether they are missed?
    No, it doesn't. There are two physical SATA hard-disk drives installed in my machine, and the error occurs no matter where the source files are. It also does not matter where the destination folder is. Usually it's on an external 3.5" drive connected via USB 2.0, but I also tried the internal drives, to no avail.

    Does an older DNG Converter also miss files?
    Gosh! To my surprise, yes it does! I just tried DNG Converter 7.1, 6.7, and 6.6, and they miss files just like 7.2 RC does. They didn't back when they were current ... or at least, I never noticed.
    This seems to indicate that the culprit is not DNG Converter 7.2 RC but my machine. But then, my machine and the hard-disk drives (including the external 2 TB 3.5" USB drive) are the very same I am using for years now. I didn't change the operating system; it still is Windows XP SP3. I am also still using the same cameras as I always did for years now. The only significant things that changed recently (besides DNG Converter) are Photoshop 13.0.1 and Bridge 5.0.1.

  • Greetings from a Photoshop Newbie. I need a computer, preferably a Mac laptop, with some serious processing power. I take photos with a Pentax 645Z; files are 50MB raw. I upload from Adobe Bridge and manipulate the photo, sometimes turning them into files

    Greetings from a Photoshop Newbie. I need a computer, preferably a Mac laptop, with some serious processing power. I take photos with a Pentax 645Z; files are 50MB raw. I upload from Adobe Bridge and manipulate the photo, sometimes turning them into files in excess of 250MB. I cannot resize as the large files are needed for enlargements. Have all sorts of problems trying to manipulate, add effects and saving most large files. I need some serious processing power. Can anyone suggest what Mac i should purchase? I thank you in advance for your help :-)

    It sounds as if you're having some system-related problems now, unrelated to processing power as such. In particular, a buggy video driver can cause everything to slow to a crawl.
    Medium format files are big, true, but not so big as to cause significant slowdowns on a normally functioning and reasonably current computer. A laptop will always be slower than a well-equipped desktop system, though. Mac vs PC plays no part in this, performance is unrelated to platform.
    Bottlenecks are different in ACR and Photoshop, so that should give you a clue. ACR is computing-intensive and mostly limited by CPU speed. Photoshop, however, is mostly bandwidth-intensive and mainly limited by memory and disk throughput. It's also sensitive to GPU issues.

  • Adobe DNG Converter can't recognize any files

    Hi All!
    I'm new here and would very  much appreciate help.
    I am running a Mac OS X 10.04.11 and would  like to open .CR2 files (native file from my Canon 500D) in PS4      / Bridge  CS4. My problem is that although I have downloaded the Adobe DNG Converter and Camera Raw 5.1  update as described  here: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4057,  the DNG Converter can't recognise any files at  all (they are greyed-out  when I go to select any folder). I also followed these steps from the aforementioned link (well at  least I hope I did it right, I found the reference to step 4 slightly  confusing):
    To install with Adobe Creative  Suite 4 or Photoshop CS4:
    Automated installation on Mac or Windows®:
    1. Select "Updates..." from the Help menu
    2. Follow the on-screen dialogs to download and  install the latest  available Camera Raw update  
    Manual installation on Mac:
    1. Exit Photoshop CS4 and Adobe Bridge.
    2. Open the Finder.   
    3. Navigate to the root of the local disk (not the user's home  folder).   
    4. Navigate to: (Please read directory carefully)
    Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS4/File Formats
    5. Move the existing plug-in to another location (for example, a new  folder on your desktop). Ensure you keep this version in case you need  to revert back.
    6. Copy the Camera Raw plug-in, Camera Raw, from the download  into the same folder as in Step 4.   
    7. Launch Photoshop CS4 or Adobe Bridge.   
    Is that version the right one for CS4?
    Only Finder and the Canon Software can preview my .CR2  files, Photoshop still gives the message: "Could   not complete  your request because Photoshop does not recognise this  type of file." and   Bridge only shows me a generic RAW thumbnail. This message also  appears in PS when I double-click on the  Camera-RAW.plugin. I also  restarted my computer,  but that didn't fix it.
    Can  anyone help me out please? I'd urgently need a solution.
    Thanks in advance!

    I now uninstalled the older 5.1 version and  instead installed the DNG Converter 6.3 separately and it works  perfectly.
    About the Camera Raw 5.6 update: I also downloaded the plug-in  (which I think should be the last version CS4 supports) and can now open  my .CR2 files in PS, Bridge previews them too. :-)
    Is it advisable to keep both, .CR2 as well as .DNG files? Why is it  that my .DNG files are lighter than the native .CR2?
    Thanks again!

  • Can't find any raw files to convert when I am using Adobe DNG converter

    Recently I purchased a new Olympus XZ-1 camera. I shoot exclusively RAW pictures (raw files for this camera are called .orf). Then when I tried to import these .orf files in the organizer of Phtoshop Element 8 it was imposible, nor then I could see those pictures in the organizer. By surfing on diffrent forums, I was able to figure out that Camera Raw included in Element 8, Camera Raw 5.5, is not supporting the .orf raw from Olympus and if I didn’t want to upgrade my Element 8 to Element 9 or 10, a simple alternative was to download Adobe DNG converter to convert all my .orf files into dng files, which could then imported by Element 8 and opened in Camera raw 5.5.
    I downloaded DNG converter version 6.6 and installed it in on my computer running on Windows 7. The problem is that once inside DNG converter, when selecting the folder where all my .orf files are (Select folder), I can't see any raw files to convert there! I tried to select a folder with NEF files instead (raw files from Nikon) and it is the same problem! Why can’t I see those files of mine I want to convert when I select the folder in DNG converter?
    I'm dying for help!
    Thanks a lot!

    When you are selecting the folder in the DNG converter, you only click on the folder.  You DON'T double click on the folder.  After you have set your options, and chosen the folder, you click on the Convert button.  It is only after you have clicked on Convert that you will see the list of files that are being converted.  You will also be able to see an indicator of the progress of the conversion.  It really does work.  Just to verify, the procedure I outlined is one that I did just prior to trying to write the instructions.  It really isn't rocket science.  Just choose the folder, only the folder, and click on the Convert button.
    You'll notice that the button prompts you to select the folder, it doesn't say anything about selecting a file.  You only select the folder that contains the files.  You will never see a list of files using this method.  If you only want to convert one or two images you can use the other method.  Leave the DNG converter closed, open the folder containing the DNG files in your operating system folder browsing utility, choose the file you want to convert, and drag it onto the icon for the DNG converter.  That is how you choose individual images.
