Torn photo icon when saving JPEG composition

PSE 6 & Vista.
Just completed a composition on blank file using custom shapes & text, all of which required many layers.
Saved in JPEG (this format has not proved problematic in dozens of other
similar compositions ).
After saving, it appears in Organizer as a torn photo icon. If I try to re-open in editor message appears 'cannot open....because it is wrong type of file'.
Is there any means of retrieving it as it took some 30 mins. to compose?
Also why would Elements allow me to save in JPEG if it could not produce
an image?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Wait a minute...
You can't rename it to M.C -- you have to remove the periods from the file name (except the period in front of .jpg) and then import it into the Organizer.
Furthermore, how could you change the file's name and then not be able to find it? To change the file's name, you have to know what folder it is in...

What is "Baseline Standard" and "Baseline Optimized" when saving JPEG's?

When saving a JPEG image file in PSE 6 for Mac, I noticed a "Format Options" section of a pop-up window called "JPEG Options." This section gives you three options -- Baseline Standard, Baseline Optimized and Progressive. Baseline Optimized is selected by default.
What are these selections and what do they do to the image file. I'm concerned because I am using a particular JPEG image for color optimizing my monitor and printer. Thanks.

Thes are just different ways that JPEG compression can be done.
> Which choice gives me the best image for printing?
You mean you are sending it out for printing? Go for Baseline Standard [the default].

Torn photo icon

What does the icon of a torn photo mean in the organizer of Elelments 10. I suspect it means file size is too large. If so, how do I increase the Organizer's ability to create a thumbnail of my larger image files?

Try these options:
1) In the Organizer; under File->Catalog, select your catalog and click Optimize. OR
2) In the Organizer; under File->Catalog, select your catalog and click Repair. OR
3) Try rebuilding the thumbnails as per these steps:
3.1. In Help > System Info, find the folder containing your catalog.
3.2. Exit PSE.
3.3. In that folder, delete the file “thumb.5.cache”.
3.4. Restart PSE.
3.5. Edit > Select All.
3.6. Edit > Update Thumbnail.
Let me know if this resolves the issue.

Quality Loss when saving Jpeg from Camera Raw

I am try to do some color correction on 400 wedding photos. I open like photos in Camera Raw then synchronize, make a few additional adjustments and then save the photos as psd files. When I save the files, the quality drops dramatically. I can see pixels and jagged edges (looks like steps) on anything curved. The photographer will not give me the RAW files, so I have to work with these high quality jpegs and I would prefer to use camera raw as it is nice and easy to fix many of the photos quickly. How can I save these files so as to not lose quality? Oh, I am on a Mac.

Ramón,
now I am quite baffled. For years ago I conducted respective tests and demonstrated, that repeated saving with the same "quality" does not introduce image deterrioration; others did the same tests and came to the same result.
Now, to be sure, I did it again, and the result contradicts my earlier findings. Although the deterrioration is after five consecutive savings practically irrecognizabe without hugely amplifying it, it is there, and that is an issue of principle.
While it is possible, that I and others made some error in those tests, the question is (for me) what causes the difference.
I verified, that the encoding parameters are unchanged. Thus the difference must come from the calculation required to transform between the original pixel values and the encoded values by
a. the conversion between RGB and YCbCr,
b. the discrete cosine transform (a variation of Furier transform).
However, any differences resulting from the calculation (iteration, rounding) should be eliminated by the subsequent lossy step, the "quantization" (which is an euphemism for "throwing away most of the data"). Even if there is a difference between the first and second savings, there should not be any between the fourth and fifth savings - but there is.
One explanation could be, that the encoding and decoding functions work with different precision, though this sounds very outlandish.
Anyway, darn.
Re the encoding parameters: they *have to be* stored in the JPEG file, otherwise the data could not be decoded, except by that program, which knows the parameters. However, JPEG is not designed for human consumption but for computers (this fact makes testing a program, which reads or writes JPEG data a serious PITA). The metadata can be analyzed only by a hex editor, and one has to know the structure of that data.
Re knowing, if the file has to be compressed or not: JPEG is *always* encoded. There are different variants of the encoding method, but there is no "unencoded" version.

How can I avoid image 'distortion' when saving jpegs from Photoshop?

I've created a logo with a transparent background and saved as an eps in Illustrator CS3. To create a jpeg I then opened opened the eps in Photoshop CS3, set the resolution at 300ppi and then saved the image as a jpeg. The image views ok on screen but when it is inserted into a word document and then printed, the background of the image is 'blurry' - it has small red dots through and you can see also the 'edges' of the image. Not sure what I'm doing wrong! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for all the ideas. Had to have a jpeg at the 'clients' request so I couldn't use the .psd and .png options.
I came across some info stating MS Word doesn't support CMYK jpeg which I did not realise. So to solve the issue, I ended up opening the eps file as a Smart Object in RGB colour mode at the required resolution in Photoshop CS3 and then saving as jpeg. The jpeg then printed perfectly after being inputted into a Word document - no blurriness or resolution issues. I just had to advise the 'client' about the colour issues with RGB vs CMYK and not to use the jpegs for any professional printing.
Thanks again.

Resolution Issues in Jpeg Options when Saving

Hi, I am suddenly experiencing an issue when saving Jpeg files in photoshop CS4. I work on hundreds of files at a time. I open the Jpeg photo, edit it and when ready hit 'save' and 'return' to accept the settings which are usually set by default to 12. But recently Photoshop is randomly selecting a lower compression in the Jpeg options when saving. It is only on a few random images though. If I open the original, re-edit the image and save it again, then it usually saves at 12 on the second attempt which is even more strange... Can I lock the settings to by default save all files at level 12 to avoid having to re-edit the shots I happen to miss spotting the change in compression on?
And doesn anyone know what would prompt photoshop to suddenly save certain images in a lower res automatically? I am wasting hours re-editing and double checking files which is very frustrating. Please help!!
Thank you in advance for any asdvice.

Hi Mark, thanks for your reply but the images I'm working on are all shot with the same settings and exported out of iPhoto with the same settings before imported into Photoshop for editing. So they haven't yet been saved in Photoshop. My problem is when I save the file after editing, photoshop is automatically selecting 0 Jpeg image quality rather than 12, which is what it generally selects, except now on these few select images? It's all a bit bizarre because I have used this method for 4 years and now all of a sudden I am having this problem. I assumed I had hit a shortcut somewhere and adjusted the parameters unintentionally. It's rather hard to explain but I hope that makes more sense. Thanks again to anyone who can help, I'm deseperate to get to the bottom of this....

Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box markedAllow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.

In CS6 my created and then saved jpegs do not have the same icon as jpegs I receive from others. Whe

In CS6 my created and then saved jpegs do not have the same icon as jpegs I receive from others. When attached to email they don't actually attach but appear embedded in the email and vertically squished. Any ideas?

It could be as simple as having two different file extentions jpg vs jpeg. As for the emails, that may depend on how you are attaching them to the email.
In most email programs you can open a new document then choose file attach or file import. Former would be attachments or links and the latter would be embedded.
On windows systems you can also send images to the email app, in the explorer right clicking and sending would open a small app that will resize the image to reduce the file size. This app could in theory squish the image.

When I try to export photos from iPhoto, why does it truncate the title I have given the photo? For example, I have labeled it 2013RoxyCarousel. When saved to desktop, it reads 2013. The rest is omitted.

iPhoto 7.1.5.
I chose these settings:
Kind: JPEG

Include title and keywords (checked)

I guess that is what you meant. Thanks for replying.

Photos icon on iCloud does not appear. How can i access my previously saved Photos on iCloud????

Prior to losing my phone last week, I had luckily updated all my photos and contacts on iCloud. I also remeber ticking on the photo settings to allow for my photos to be saved on iCloud. However when i accessed my iCloud account from my PC, I found all my saved contacts but did not see the Photos icon. How can i find my photos??? Please help!

You can't see photo stream from iCloud.com. Enable photo stream in your iCloud settings and use your photo stream folder.

When I go to create a new project in imovie using the iPhone 5, I am not able to see any of my video clips or photos that are saved on the device.

When you move or copy the compound clips with their events into an external drive all the events should be there. Not clear on why you want to move them into a single event. You can drag and drop from one event to another.
Why are you using compound clips? You can simply copy the project from each machine with used media onto the external drive and that should do it.

Before when I scanned a photo, it would automatically save and ask to scan another photo. Now, the photo is not saving and it doesn't ask to scan again. Help?

After creating a new slideshow I export it with the setting HD 1080p it is then saved as a .mov i then create a dvd in idvd and the quality is not as good as the original photo's when viewed on the monitor or a TV, am i doing something wrong?

DVD's are only 640 x 480 (interlaced), so yes, the quality is not nearly as good. You should probably create your .mov in DV format to best match the DVD format

I can no longer view my photos through th photo icon. There is not an icon on my "slide to unlock" screen that when touched starts a slide show of my photos. How do I turn that off so I can access my photos as before?

Oroilore-
I do not see a way to disable the Picture Frame icon. I looked at Settings-Picture Frame, but none of the options turns it off. The only way I can thinik of, would be if all of your photos had been deleted. If there were no photos, you couldn't have a slide show!
One thing to try is to reset (reboot) your iPad. Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow. The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes. Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

When importing photos with iBooks Gallery widget, is anyone aware of a technique for simultaneously importing the photo's description (or jpeg file name) and writing it into the iBook Author caption field for the imported photo?

When importing photos with the iBooks Author Gallery widget, is anyone aware of a technique for simultaneously importing the photo's description (or jpeg file name) and writing it into the iBook Author caption field for the corresponding imported photo? I have 4,800 stills to import and can't imagine it's necessary to copy and paste the description for each.

As always, feel free to use the 'Provide iBooks Author Feedback' menu item for features you'd like added in the future, etc.
