PSE 6 Images change when saved

...within PSE 6 all the dimensions are as I would like them to be, and everything looks correct...when I save as anything ( .pdf .jpg .png ) the image does not hold its values exactly and the image looks stretched vertically or squished horizontally...
...i have printed the file to confirm the fact that something is being changed and causing the image to loose its aspect ratio when i save as something outside of a .psd file...

...i didn't say that there were any photoshop fourms on the Apple site...i've looked myself, but i did make use of the search option to look for possible questions and solutions to the problem that i'm running into...once again...thanks for your help

RAW Images Alter When Saved After Processing in CS5 Camera RAW?

Hi,
I am currently experiencing a problem in Photoshop CS5, where after processing a CR2 RAW image file in Camera RAW, whether I then decide to open the image straight into CS5, or save as a jpeg or tiff file, the image completely alters from what I was previously seeing in the Camera RAW window?
The saved jpeg/tiff, or image now shown in CS5 is now very tinted, where objects that were perfectly white in the Camera RAW window are now a dirty yellow colour.
I was just wondering if there was any advice any of you could give me as to what the problem might be?
I have made sure that both CS5 and the Camera RAW window are both set to sRGB, but it has had no effect on the problem.
Thank you in advance for any help

Invalid image error when saving to pdf

I keep getting an invalid image error when saving a MS Publisher file as a pdf. Can anyone help with solving this issue?

You need to provide system and version info and explain how you actualyl produce the PDF. Unless you use the Acrobat PDF printer, I don't see how Adobe software would be involved in any of this, as recent versions of MS Office products can save PDFs natively...

Colour changes when saving images as JPEGS/PNGS in Photoshop CS6

When I save my .PSD files as .JPEGS the colour of the images change drastically.
I never experienced this issue in CS 5 or 5.5, and am only experiencing it now as I just switched over to CS6.

Wow … another one of those threads, it seems.
What are your Edit > Color Settings, do you embed the profile on saving, in which application do you observe the change, …?

Strange size change when saving ai file as jpeg

Greetings all!
I have a quick question (I believe!). I have a couple of images that I am saving as jpeg files. So, I have noted that today only (it worked fine yesterday) when I go to save the file to web, the size of the image changes from 400 px high to 430 px high. I didn't select anything to make each file change like that. There is a white area at the top of the image (which isn't good 4 my image). When I reduce the size of the jpeg - it reduces the image (so the white area remains).
Does anyone have a suggestion? This has happened with more than one image.
Thanks 4 your help, Marty

If you have images to convert to jpg, use photoshop instead.
If the white are on top is 30 pixels, then you must have a stray point in your document or something that is not visible, but adds to the bounding box of your image. Do a Command Y in illustrator to see if something is there. Also if you are placing images into Illustrator, your original image may have a clipping path or something that is adding to your bounding box.

Color changes when saving

I have a PSD file that I've been working on. I've tried saving it as jpeg, png, and tiff, and every time it makes the colors more saturated and more red. I've tried opening it in Windows Photo Viewer, Firefox, and Chrome and the color is changed in all of them. Oddly enough however, if I open the photo on my iphone, in Windows Paint, or in Photoshop again, the colors remain unchanged.
Color Profile is sRGB and I have it set to embed the profile.
The proof setup is Working CMYK. I tried changing it to Monitor RGB and the picture looked the same.
Any help is greatly appreciated because this is driving me insane.

Thanks for the help twenty one and Noel but I think I need to be a little bit more clear on what it is I would like to accomplish. Basically I have a photo that displays two different ways: normal saturation and oversaturated. I would like it to always display at normal saturation, no matter what computer or what program it's being viewed with. Currently the only programs I've found that always display it correctly are Windows Paint and Internet explorer, neither of which are color managed. Is there any way to accomplish this or do I just have to accept the fact that it will always look different depending on what it's being viewed with?
Information I think may be relevant to accomplishing this goal:
The PSD always appears oversaturated in photoshop now whereas it used to look fine. I have no idea what I did to change this but I've tried doing a system restore and resetting my photoshop settings to default and it has had no effect.
Under Color Settings, it shows the RGB working space as sRGB IEC61966-2.1. However the info panel shows the PSD as being untagged RGB. The image mode is RGB color.
I've messed around with assigning new color profiles and nothing works. The only thing that makes photo look normal again is turning on proof and setting it to Monitor RGB.
I tried saving two different jpeg files, one where I checked ICC Profile sRGB IEC61966-2.1 in the save as dialogue box and one where I did not. Upon opening both files in photoshop, the file that had the sRGB box checked shows up as being sRGB in the info panel and the file that did not have the box checked shows up as untagged RGB in the info panel, as one would expect.
Both the untagged RGB and the sRGB show up the way I want them to in Windows Paint and Internet Explorer (normal saturation), neither of which are color managed programs.
Using Firefox (color managed), the untagged RGB shows up correctly and the sRGB file is oversaturated.
Using photoshop and Windows Photo Viewer (color managed), both the tagged and the untagged photos are oversaturated.
It should also be noted that the above results hold true on my computer and a second computer that I tested. However, on two other computers that I tested, both the tagged and the untagged photos appear correctly using Windows Photo Viewer, Paint, Firefox, and Internet Explorer. Based off of what I've read about Color Management I find these results very peculiar. Particularly the fact that sRGB and untagged RGB files show up differently on Firefox but the same on Windows Photo Viewer since both programs are color managed. I also find it very odd that after years of using photoshop without any knowledge of color management I've never had a problem with it until now.
Again, I would like the photo to always look the way it does when using Paint or Internet Explorer or when saving it as an untagged RGB and viewing it on Firefox. Thanks again for any help you can provide because this is driving me insane.

Color Changes when saving psd to jpg

Some of my psd when saved to jpg take on a distinctly bluish cast. Has anyone seen this? What is the cause? How can it be defeated?

When You save a jpg with profile embedded does the appearance still change?
Photoshop uses the Color Settings’ Working Space for displaying files that are not Color Managed, therefore one should embed the profile – unless space considerations (especially for internet-use) speak against it, in which case one should usually convert the image to srgb anyway.

How to see all image types when saving an image without selecting "all files"every time

<blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>
Please continue here: [[/questions/951766]]</blockquote>
Hallo, and thank you for reading this.
I am a person who saves a lot of images online and renames them in different folders in different names like B - 34 or G - 56. I have been working with firefox 10 for quite some time and it had a pretty handy bug (I guess) where I could save an image and firefox would just save the image in it's original type (JPEG,PNG etc) while "save as type" was empty.
It also always has shown all the image types in the folder where I save the images (except for GIF) and that helpes me quite a lot by saving me the trouble of selecting "all files" every time I save or going to the folder to rename every image.
Now this seems to be lacking in the newest firefox versions and my question is if I can set firefox to always show me all the image file types when saving an image, instead of only showing JPEG's when I try to save a JPEG.
Thank you for your time.

I suspect this is a Windows problem. I am surmising the FilePicker uses the Operating System or Desktop facilities. Does Windows 7 offer any other file categories like ''images'' ?
I do not normally use Windows 7, but may the option depend upon the directory being an indexed one, I ask after finding this thread ''Bring File types tab back'' [http://www.windows7taskforce.com/view/819]
This question is a duplicate of [/questions/951764]
Normally I would lock the duplicate question, but in this instance I will leave it open as it is unanswered and someone may give a better reply.

PDF image changes when opening in photoshop

sometimes when we open PDF files in photoshop the image changes. sometimes text disappears and other times fading occurs. Here is how it can be duplicated:
1. First try downloading the file here http://www.m3printing.com/files/wierd.pdf
2. open the file with acrobat. take note of the red NYN in the upper left
3. open the file with photoshop. you will notice the YN becomes faded
any clues as to why this is happening would be greatly appreciated
ps. we use photoshop CS2

This doc is unnecessarily complex in its color structure.
It uses CMYK and seven spot colors. CMYK is DeviceCMYK,
which means, the space is not defined in the doc by an ICC
profile.
A part of the red text vanishes if the doc is opened in Photo-
shop in CMYK mode. I don't know why. Perhaps a trans-
parency flattening problem.
Analyzed by Acrobat > Tools > Print Production > Preflight.
My suggestion: convert each page into a well specified CMYK
space as recommended by the printer.
The fastest solution:
Open in PhS in Lab mode with reasonably high resolution,
for instance 288ppi, convert into a specified CMYK space
and save as TIFF.
The correct solution:
Go back to the source program (InDesign) and replace all
Spots by process colors. Flatten and save by new name.
Export as PDF.
Flattening in advance to Export guarantees the appearance.
Export with layers contains the risk that flattening at the
receiver turns out to be wrong.

Why does color of image change when imported to Photoshop

When I import or edit my Lightroom image into Photoshop the color tones of the image change to a darker tone.
I'm using the same screen.
What can I do to correct this?

Thanks for both responses .
I tried changing the export settings but still get a different color image rom the one I get in Lightroom.
Also, the monitor was recently callbrated, so could the answer be in PHOTOSHOP's color management settings?
When I checked PS's Color Settings window the " Working Spaces" setting was at "sRGB"...
and
Color Management Policies @ "Preserve Embedded Profiles
My first export from LR was also @ sRGB.
Any thoughts on some common settings that might put this right?
Thanks again.

Images Issue when saving an illustrator file as pdf

Hi,
I have been suffering these couple of days with the pdfs I save from my illustrator CS5 multi page file. It is a brochure that I designed using many images that I adjusted in Photoshop to CMYK & 300 dpi & embedded in ai. I used some drop shadows for some images & have some transparent vectors & gradient fills in the pages.
The pdfs I save open very normally on my pc, but the issues appear for the client. He gets some images missing in some pages (the ones that got the gradient transparency). The pages also tend not to load completely & stay blurred. He also got the “drawing error” message.
I tried to make sure all color modes are the same_ used the US web coated SWOP (default)
He still gets missing images!
The same file I sent to a friend of mine, it opened normally! but informed me that Adobe considers the file with “special features”.
I had to export the pages to jepgs so that he gets to see the design.
I tried to flatten the gradient transparent vectors but also used the downsampling for the images when saving the pdf & used the “Zip” for compression to reduce the size… what did he get??? no images at all in all the pages.
I started seeing pdf nighmares last night :S really.
Please help :’(
Thanks

We all have Acrobat Professional reader 7.0.
I guess he has Windows but tried to open the file from his ipad too.

RGB Colours change when saving for Web

I'm saving work in RGB for Web, but the colours come out muted when saving through "Save for Web" also when saving as normal. Does anyone know why this happens? Normally this occurs through RGB to CMYK conversion, but can't figure out why it's happening, they look fine on screen before saving, but look all muted when saved.
Cheers

Two things: you could be working in Adobe RGB and saving directly to JPG, without converting to sRGB first. When the sRGB profile is assumed (Windows), or your narrow-gamut display profile is assumed (Mac), you get a color shift. So make sure you converting to sRGB as or before you save the JPG. Also, if you're on a Mac, then the display profile is assumed or assigned to images from the web. If you're using a laptop, the display gamut is much narrower than even sRGB, so you will see a color shift. The way around this is to use a browser capable of assigning sRGB to untagged images (like Firefox with color management enabled).
You can always embed sRGB profiles in your images, which would be fine for portfolio pieces, but impractical for smaller images. Embedding a color profile will ensure that Safari displays the images correctly.

Image darker when saved than on-screen buffered image

Hi,
Here is my little application. I am trying to simulate an rgb screen look based on image data. ie, the new image is an exaggerated tv look of the original image.
When I try to encode/save a jpeg from my buffered image, the saved image is darker (colours also seem to be different) than what i see in my application frame. I like what I see in the JFrame and would like to have that saved. I am just an artist hack so excuse the cobbled together code. I have also included the original image, the image as it is saved, and an image as a rough approximation of the image in the JFrame.
In the code you will see I have tried different ways to encode the image (commented out)
Any ideas about this issue or how to make this program more sound please let me know.
the code:
http://zukanter.com/javaImageTest/displayImageRGBBuffer.java
the orignal loaded into the appp:
http://zukanter.com/javaImageTest/myPic.jpg
the saved image:
http://zukanter.com/javaImageTest/_003.jpeg
the image as it is in the application window:
http://zukanter.com/javaImageTest/_003Screen.jpg

Hi
My 2c.
I`ve had a quick look at your code and the output and I`m assuming that the vertical RGB lines are what you intended.
Jpeg works in blocks, and averages pixel valiues across them.
If introducing those primaries into the graphic and then compressing it makes it darker that`s likely the result of the primary colours being averaged by the compression algorithm.
You should look at resizing the image first, drawing it onto an offscreen buffer, then doing an overlay (alpha channel) with the primary colors instead, IMHO.

Appearance of images changes when moving from ACR to PSE11 Editor .. why?

I run Windows 8.1 x64 bit on my new PC and use PSE11 which opens raw files automatically into ACR. Once I've finished editing an image in ACR I then click on 'Open Image' which transfers the part edited file to the PSE11 Editor. Once there I perform a few additional tweaks before cropping, sharpening and saving as a jpeg.
At about the same time as I installed PSE11 onto my new PC I became acutely aware of a change in the appearance of my images as they transferred from ACR to PSE11 Editor. Having performed the basic adjustments in ACR and things are to my liking, the image now opens in PSE11 Editor looking rather washed out by comparison .. less contrast, maybe a little more brightness and a certain degree of reduced colour saturation.
Obviously all images are seen on the same monitor, so any fingers pointing at calibration issues don't count in this instance! I just need to know if there is a fix that will return me to the situation I've always had before, where the part edited ACR image looks the same when it opens in the PSE11 Editor. I have been using PSE in various versions for a number of years and this is the first time that I've experienced this irritating problem.
Help, please!

Thanks for your reply Michel ...
The colour setting in both Editor and Organiser is: 'Always Optimise Colours for Computer Screens'
I believe this option will select the sRGB colour space by default and that the option 'Always Optimise for Printing' will default the colour space setting to Adobe RGB. Is this so? I only print occasionally (most of my viewing is on the monitor or the TV) but it would be nice to know if the chosen colour space chosen produce this odd effect I'm experiencing (although I sincerely doubt that it's got anything to do with it).
This option will be used by the ACR conversion module to set the colour space of the file imported in the editor. So, you are right, the sRGB colour space is a good choice for you. What's good is that the raw file itself has NO colour space. If you have edited a raw file for sRGB, good. But you can set your editor to 'optimize for print', and you'll get an aRGB version for printing. Worth a try if you have a good printer (mine is an all-in-one with 6 inks and I can see the difference for some subjects).
My camera (EOS 5D MkIII) is always set to sRGB. Is this significant?
No for raw files. That's used only for the in-camera conversion to jpeg. It's a simple tag which is ignored in the ACR conversion process (see above).
The main issue though remains, namely the fact that part edited images look washed out in PSE Editor in spite of looking just fine in ACR a split second earlier, so I'm still looking for a remedy.
Such a difference is often noted when a file with aRGB colour space is seen in a software that believes it's sRGB. Nothing in your worklows seems to explain that.
Do you see a difference when you see the same edited picture in a non colour-managed software? I can't help you more for the moment.

Distiller missing text and image links when saving to pdf

Not sure if anyone has experienced this issue before. Basically I create artwork 1up in indesign CS3 and print as a postscript file "print ready settings" then create a pdf through distiller 8.1.2. After this I then imposition the 1up PDF back into indesign (using the pdf as a link and then step and repeat it) then I print the new imposed artwork as postscript file again and distill it as a PDF ready for offset printing.
Most time this process works like a dream, but every now and then distiller doesn't want to process the file correctly and images and sometimes text have dropped off the final imposed PDF file. It doesnt notify me of any problems when distilling. As you can imagine working in the print industry this is VERY SCARY
As i am using a common 1up pdf link the imposition should be correct, (all the pdf linked images should be the same anyway) Is it a memory issue, or a bug in distiller perhaps.
Im running a Mac with OSX 10.4.11 with 2Gig of RAM.
If you would like to see a sample of the issue let me know.
Any help on this would be awesome.

thanks for the replies,
Working in a pre-press environment we obviously prefer to print from pdf files (as opposed to using supplied native art). As a result I am always receiving pdf files from external clients who have saved their artwork from indesign to pdf format, so Im not sure what the real difference is between me imposing a supplied indesign/pdf files in indesign vs me imposing my own indesign/pdf files in indesign. (aprt from perhaps going through distiller twice)
i can see what your saying though and for years i have been using the cut and paste and step and repeat method but recently changed my workflow for a few reasons
- I noticed that by printing a 1up pdf and relinking the file back into my indesign imposition the final imposed pdf was lower in size
- if a client made a change to the artwork after imposing (which always happens) all i had to do was make the change, resave the pdf 1up link again and update the link and it did it for me and saved me from step and repeating all over again,
- whenever the job was printed again in the future i could use the same procedure, resave as 1up pdf again and update the link.
- plus i knew that if i was using the one link all my step and repeats would be exactly the same each time (and i didn't have to worry that a graphic that hadn't been selected/grouped correctly and would drop off when step and repeating)
.....and for sure it probably is a slightly longer way to impose a job for print but it saves me half the time on the next print run, and i can use my imposition file as a template for similar jobs also.
I have found the workflow i use works fine, apart from these rare hiccups which i can get around by resaving the pdf again anyway, but what Im really worried about is the times this error presents itself and doesn't notify me that a problem has occurred.
