Trouble importing JPEGs saved in Photoshop.

Here's a brief description of my workflow: I shoot Canon EOS 350D, import RAW files into Lightroom, correct them there, then edit some pictures in Photoshop, save as JPEGs and when all's ready, import the shoot into iPhoto because I prefer to keep the images there.
But I'm frequently having troubles with the JPEGs saved in Photoshop: iPhoto gives me an error that the files were in corrupt format and could not be imported. However, I can open em up in Preview just fine. So I have to re-import them into Lightroom and export them again from there. This time the images get sucked into iPhoto just fine. Any ideas what might be causing this? And what is the solution?

This sounds like the Photoshop Color Profile bug. Check out this thread:

It's one of many but there's a solution - of sorts - in it.

  • Jpegs saved in Photoshop appear darker in SOME programs/websites - how do I fix this?

    This started happening earlier this year all of a sudden with my Photoshop 7. After trying in vain to fix it last night from reading many many other message board posts people have made regarding this issue I gave up and downloaded the newest Photoshop Trial. It still happens argh. Now I know well meaning intelligent types are going to say to me it's to do with colour settings or colour management profiles or something like that but please realise whilst I know where these things are to change them and understand roughly what they involve, I don't know specifically why they are causing the problem and therefore exactly which settings I should have to solve it. This seems to be the information missing from everything I've read on the other forums, message boards, discussions etc.
    I first discovered jpegs being saved darker when saving anything with a white background. When put up against other white backgrounds, they appeared slightly darker and you could see the outline. Now when I edit photographs and view them in some places outwith photoshop I definitely see the difference. But it can't be my monitor - because it doesn't happen everywhere! I've attached a screenshot for you to see.
    From left to right: editing a post in blogger (the images appear just as dark in the published posts), viewing the image on Facebook, the jpeg in photoshop.
    So some places online see it darker and others don't. They seem fine and stay appearing just as light as they are in photoshop when viewed in windows viewers, or seen in thumbnail form in the windows explorer thing.
    From the tidbits I've read I'm assuming this may have something to do with how facebook and blogger colour manage things differently? But I'm not sure if that's right. What I just want to know is how can I save my jpegs giant and small from photoshop so that they look the same in all programs on my pc and in every website I use online? I've tried fiddling with settings but to no avail.
    Here's the current setup of my colours in photoshop:
    Please can someone explain why some things look okay and others don't and exactly how to sort it? Don't just send me to a link that teaches me about colour profiles and triangles or monitor calibration
    Thankyou in advance!!

    A lot of people panic when they see Photoshop displaying differently from other software. But that's normal and expected. Here's what happens:
    1. Photoshop is color managed and performs a document profile > monitor profile conversion when it displays. So whatever the document profile is, Photoshop will display correctly - unless you have CM policies set to "off" (...!)
    2. Other applications, including many web browsers, aren't color managed and will just send the file numbers directly to the display. This distinction is extremely important, because there will be a slight difference. Again, that's normal. Photoshop is right and the other apps are wrong.
    3. Without color management, it all hangs on how your monitor displays color. Most monitors are so close to sRGB that any sRGB file will display roughly correctly. This is why sRGB is the de facto web standard: it can live without color management. And that's why you should always convert web material to sRGB. Yes, that's the Edit > Convert to Profile option. You can also use Save For Web to do this if you check the appropriate boxes.

  • How to import JPEG sequence into Photoshop CS5.1 - Windows 7 64x?

    Specs:
    Windows 7 Home Premium 64x
    Adobe Photoshop CS5.1
    I have been doing animated banners by using Ae and exporting my animation as JPEG sequences in order to import it to Photoshop and export it as GIF. However, I just upgraded to CS5.5 and I cannot find the "image sequence" checkbox when opening a file.
    I would normally see this check box when going to File > Open .. select one file and the open window would have this check box at the botton, which I no longer see.
    I could import all my (130) JPEG sequence images and then use the animation window but that would be soooo stressing and tedious.
    Any help will be appreciate it!

    If you have a series of jpeg images use menu File>Scripts>Load Files into Stack. This will load all the jpeg image files into a single document as layers.  Use the Animation Palette fly-out memu and click on make frams from layers.

  • I am having trouble importing jpegs shot on my Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi

    I have about 1000 jpegs that i need to import into FCP. A few specs to start off with. I am working on FCP 7.0 and a brand new MacBook Pro. I have had this camera for about 4 years and have not had a problem importing the jpegs into my old laptop and old FCP program.
    When i try to import the jpegs, the 2 portrait jpegs will import fine, but the 350 landscape jpegs will not. I keep getting the "file unknown" error. The dimensions are exactly the same, just reversed. it is RGB. i am able to open the file in preview and resave and then it will import fine. But, i have 1000 photos and don't want to have to do that for all of them. Plus, i will be taking several thousands more and won't have time to do that to each and every photo.
    How to i solve this problem so I can simply import the landscape jpegs as i have always done?
    Thanks in advance for all of the help.

    Will I have to do that for every picture? I am able to open them in Preview and resave them and they work fine. Is there a camera setting that I need to use to dictate how the pix are imported?
    Thanks for your help!

  • How can I import JPEGs but not Photoshop files from a folder?

    I'm wondering if there is a way to have import filtering by file type. Specifically, I want to import a large folder structure of finished images but only the JPEG files, I don't want PSD files added to the catalog.
    Is there possibly a script or Plug-in that does this?
    I'm using OS X 10.9 at home and Windows 7 at work, with LR 5.5 in both cases.

    This is the OP on my home profile, and that ship has already sailed. Both work and home, there are thousands of images together. I could explain why but its not important at this point, and I need it that way for my on-disk organization.
    I'm looking at this omission as a huge time-waster. Why import a bunch of files that you are going to immediately turn around and delete?
    At home I'm working on transitioning from Aperture, and so far I am not impressed with LR. It does some things better but has a lot of holes. My Aperture catalog is over 155,000 images.
    At work, I am dealing with legacy images and have been trying to use Bridge to organize things, that's been slow going as well. I'm trying to decide if the DAM features in Lightroom make it worth importing everything.

  • Jpeg thumbnails too small when saved from Photoshop

    Since moving to Snow Leopard, I notice that the Finder shows jpegs saved from Photoshop quite a bit smaller than jpegs saved using other apps, like Preview or just scanned images. This makes viewing the thumbnails in the Finder harder. Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it?
    I would post a screen grab to show this, but I can't see how to do that here. If anyone knows, please let me know.
    Thanks

    That's because Photoshop creates its own rather smallish icons (by the new standards) for the files. If you remove custom thumbnails and let Finder draw them they'll be scalable all the way up to 512x512. There is a preference from within Photoshop to tell it to NOT create icons. Go to PS prefs, select Saving Files, and turn off Image Previews. The advantage is that the icons can be drawn larger; the disadvantage is that they will appear in Finder more slowly, since instead of simply displaying what is there Finder has to draw the icons. Furthermore, Finder doesn't always draw the icons with the clarity one would expect: sometimes they never do appear as sharp as they ought to be (there are several very lengthy threads discussing this problem, with no real solution), sometimes they slowly appear in all their large glory.
    Oh, and to post a picture, as in my signature, you have to have the image available somewhere online, then add an image tag.

  • Muse strips off digimarc copyright in jpeg files saved in photoshop. How do I prevent this from happening?

    In Muse, the digimarc watermark I added in jpegs saved in photoshop get stripped off when uploaded to my website. How can I prevent this from happening? The jpegs are set to their exact size in Muse. Thanks.

    Hello
    My procedure is to resize the original psd file in photoshop, change the mode to 8bits, apply the digimarc filter and then save as jpeg. I place the file in Muse without changing its size and upload. I then right click to save the uploaded image from my website and bring it into photoshop to verify the digimarc watermark. The digimarc filter shows there is no watermark at all.

  • How to make Photoshop save Aperture imported JPEG images as JPEGs

    Recently, I upgraded from Photoshop CS 5 to CS 5.1.
    My point and shoot cameras record in JPEG format. Often, I'll import those photos into Aperture and then tweak them in Photoshop using the Edit in External Editor command. My preferences for the external editor in Aperture were set to 8-bit, Photoshop
    With Photoshop CS 5, I would edit the photo and choose Save and the edited photo would be saved back to Aperture as a new version, in a JPEG format.
    Now, using Photoshop CS 5.1, when the imported image from Aperture is converted into a PSD file and when I save back to Aperture, I end up with a PSD file.
    How can I revert to how it was before? JPEG image in Aperture, opened in external editor Photoshop as a JPEG, edited in Photoshop, then saved back to Aperture as a new version JPEG?
    (Though this question is approached in this forum, a solution to my question is never found as each dicussion ends up going off-topic from the original question)

    Any further ideas from anyone who's experienced trying to open a JPEG from Aperture in Photoshop as a JPEG?
    Like I said before, you cannot open a jpeg as a jpeg, the file must be decompressed to open in PS or in Aperture, and that has always been the case.
    I do not know how it used to work, but I tested and you are correct that with PS 12.1 and with Aperture 3.2.2 a JPEG sent to open in external editor (PS) is opened into your choice of lossless format and then goes back to Aperture in the lossless format you chose.
    IMO this is the way it should be, because every save into JPEG loses image data, so such saves should be limited to the final export, in this case when the image actually leaves Aperture. If the file was compressed as a JPEG  when leaving PS, decompressed and edited in Aperture, then compressed again to export as JPEG from Aperture, unnecessary additional image data loss would occur.
    It is always better to save the application of lossy compression until the very last step in a workflow because other usages (printing, for instance) may occur before applying the lossy compression.

  • Images saved in Photoshop CS6 as PNG or jpeg won't open on Windows computers

    I recently saved an image on Photoshop CS6 as a PNG file so I could send it as an attachment to a client (who uses a Windows computer). They told me the file wouldn't open and instead showed as an "Unknown File".
    I tried opening the file on my Windows computer, as well as a JPEG version to test out, but both came up as "Unknown Files".
    The only way I could transfer the files I saved in Photoshop was to export them as PNG through the 'Preview' application.
    Is there a reason why these normal formats won't open properly?

  • Trouble importing from Photoshop CS2

    I'm have trouble importing my photoshop files to iphoto, the pictures come in black, and when I open them they are inverted?
    Any help out there?

    mrdstone
    What color space are the pics? iPhoto supports RGB, if they are another - such as CMYK or GrayScale this will cause problems.

  • TS3276 Having trouble sending jpeg images as attachments in Mac email.....they go thru as images and PC users can't see the SAVE or QUICK LOOK boxes that Mac mail has.  One friend scrolled over the image, right clicked on it and saved as a PNG file.

    Having trouble sending jpeg images as attachments in Mac email.....they go thru as images and PC users can't see the SAVE or QUICK LOOK boxes that Mac mail has.  One friend scrolled over the image, right clicked on it and saved as a PNG file.

    Apple Mail isn't going to change the format of any of your attachments. it isn't going to corrupt them either.
    Exchange is a transport protocol and server. The issue you describe is not related to Exchange.
    There are many different versions of Microsoft Outlook in use and they all have e-mail bugs. Different versions have different bugs. Some Apple Mail hack to get around a bug in Outlook 2003 may cause the same message to be problematic in Outlook 2000. Fix them both and another issue will cause trouble in Outlook 2007. You can't fix this. Apple can't fix this. Microsoft can and has but that is irrelevant if your recipients are using older versions.
    One specific problem is that Apple Mail always sends image attachments inline, as images, not as iconized files. You can change this with Attachment Tamer. Just be aware that use of this software will break other things such as Stationery. E-mail is just a disaster. To date, no one outside of Apple has ever implemented the e-mail standards from 1993. Apple has continually changed its e-mail software to be more compatible with the de-facto standards that Netscape and Microsoft have unilaterally defined and people documented as "standards" after the fact. The e-mail messages that Apple Mail sends are 100% correct and do not violate any of the original standards from 1993 or the Microsoft/Netscape modifications. The problem is entirely bugs and limitations in various versions of Outlook.

  • Cannot import files that I just saved on photoshop

    This is the situation I encounter very often: I get a graphic from a client, I open it on photoshop, resize it, crop it, check transparency and so on, then I save it as a .psd file to work on it on Premiere
    When I open Premiere and select the import function I can see the folder and I can see the file I just saved but Premiere doesn't let me select it to import it. The file shows up on the screen as transparent as if its not possible to select it
    I am attaching a screen shot below to illustrate what Im saying, this is the little screen that shows up when I select import from Premiere. The file I just saved on photoshop in this case is "gmc logo 3" and as you can see its not on full black color but on light gray, and it doesn't let me select it for import
    Now the very weird thing is that to solve this situation I have to go outside Premiere, open the FINDER and find the folder and the file in question, I then select the same file Premiere didn't let me select and then drag it from the outside window into the Premiere timeline, and Premiere DOES take it, it plays well, it works, everything is good but 5 seconds prior Premiere didn't want to read it using the import function
    Ive been working like this since I got my system but as you can imagine is very annoying. It doesn't do it all the time but 50% of the time it does, I haven't been able to see which specific format it does it with, I think it does it more with .psd files but Im not 100% sure its only with .psd files
    Just wanted to know if anybody else has encountered this same situation, maybe its something simpler than I imagine. I have a Premiere CC installed on the new Mac Pro
    Thanks!

    Mark you actually solved the situation I think, and no I hadnt notice that the file in question was the only one without an extension.
    It seems that when I select SAVE AS on photoshop I select the entire original name file (including the extension) and I write the new name (erasing the original extension) so the file doesnt have an extension and when I select import on Premiere then it doesnt let me select it because of that.
    As I mentioend on my original post it was simpler than I imagine, thank you!!

  • Trouble with aspect ratio importing jpegs

    I am importing JPEGs into Final Cut Pro. They are all formated at 740x480. All appropriate settings in FC are NTSC-DV Anamorphic. The photos are coming in squeezed down. Any help would be appreciated.

    The pixels are not square. All you need to do is open the Motion tab and adjust the distort.

  • Import JPEG files become corrupt

    I'm making a slideshow and when I import JPEG files, a large quantity of them will import, but on the display they show up with lots of green, blue, and purple highlights...in fact, thats about the only colors you see. I can't find anything wrong with the files, they open in all other CS4 apps just fine. I tried different methods of importing and reimporting but it doesn't change. The same files still show up all corrupt. I opened the files in Photoshop and saved them again as a JPEG and it's still the same problem.
    TIFFs are the same way.
    If I open the photos in Photoshop and save them as PSD they work just fine (other than the much larger file size) and PNG files work fine as well.
    I have several hundred photos to put in this very lengthy slideshow so I'm looking for a fix without having to batch all the files to save as PSD which will each up my hard drive space.
    Thanks!
    John

    I am a big fan of keeping images in .PSD format and ascribe to John's suggestion. I even did an ARTICLE on automating the resizing in PS, prior to Import. While primarily written for use with an NLE (where I create the vast majority of my SlideShows), the same applies to Encore.
    Good luck,

  • Problem importing JPEGs

    i'm trying to build a slideshow in final cut pro. about half of the 25 images i dragged over imported and the other half didnt. i'm not sure why as they are all jpeg images. i did take a few screenshots. the error simply says, "File Error: Unknown File"
    Hppefully someone can help:
    the error:
    http://www.reemasville.com/web/error.jpg
    the file info:
    http://www.reemasville.com/web/info.jpg

    I checked that one out. Can't import it into FCP either. Opened in photoshop and converted to photoshop format and it imported fine. Opened in Preview (in case you don't have Photoshop) and saved as photoshop format, imported fine that way too.
    So that's a workaround if you like - I'm sure someone will eventually figure out why it won't import.
    EDIT (post crossed with above)
    Nice one David, seems to be related to the colour profile. If you open in PS and just remove the profile it can be imported.
