Unreadable jpg from photoshop export

I have been converting a slew of tiffs (in 48 bit color adobe 98 colorspace) to 24 bit jpegs in srgb color space (as well as rescaling them). The resulting jpegs can be read and used in every photo management program (aperture, preview, photoshop .. even iweb!) but if i drag it to iphoto i get the following error :
Unreadable Files: 1
The following file could not be imported. (The import failed.)
and a list of files..
I have tried everything from making sure the jpg is in a temp directory to no avail.. interestingly the original tiffs import fine .. the new jpegs do not and (as i said before) the jpegs themselves seem to have no issue being viewed/editted in any other program.
I have been searching around for answers to no avail .
I have put a copy of the jpg here :
http://www.bloosqr.com/tmp/gr01-1-1.jpg
in fact if i ctrl click the above jpeg i get the same error so i am pretty sure it is a filetype issue rather than a "location" issue.
this is on a dual G5/ 1.8 ghz mac w/ iphoto 6.05
i also tried (via the web) importing that file on an intel macbook pro that had not been ever used iphoto before and had the same error.
The photo is a Adobe Photoshop JPEG file w/ the embedded color profile SRGB IEC61966-2.1 (i.e. the normal adobe sRGB colorspace)
any help on this matter would be most appreciated!

Yes it does work in preview (i.e. i can convert to sRGB profile which can be read) but it does not work inside of photoshop. That is can take a adobe98 tiff file, convert to sRGB (any one), save as jpg w/ the embedded profile. Every other program recognizes the embedded profile (including preview). W/ preview you can "reassign" the profile to another colorspace and resave it and it imports properly. (I am guessing preview's assignment of colorspace is an assignment rather than a conversion?)
so as an example
photoshop -> srgb IEC1966 (this is the adobe sRGB space)
iphoto can't read this file
preview detects srgb IEC1966 .. i can reassign in preview to "sRGB Profile" (i.e. the one in system). I can not reassign it to srgb IEC1966 as it knows what the old profile is and assumes i haven't done anything when i do this so doesn't resave it. When I resave it it imports fine w/ iphoto.
i can also
photoshop -> "srgb profile" directly (this is the colorsync sRGB profile)
iphoto can't read this file
preview detects "srgb profile" and i can reassign it to the "srgb IEC1966" profile, save it and it will import properly.
it seems that my version of iphoto has a bug in reading in the embedded "profile" format that adobe is writing, even though preview can read that file properly (and convert to a format that iphoto can read).
the other interesting thing is tiff files work fine, its some mixing of jpg and embedded profiles .. one "fix" on apples website is to import you should use png rather than jpgs
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304487
I can't tell what is going on really but there are obviously some issues w/ colorspace and jpgs and iphoto..
in any case thanks again for your help, perhaps i should submit this as a bug report somewhere on apples site, but i can't imagine they don't know about it already.

  • How do I fix a corrupt .jpg from Photoshop?

    I try to upload .jpg images, which I saved from Photoshop, onto walgreens.com and shutterfly.com, and each site tells me that my file is corrupted. Can someone please help me find a solution to "uncorrupting" my .jpgs?

    If you file opens fine in Photohsop would say that error is a false positive,
    Open you image in photoshop, check they are rgb 8bit not cmyk.
    You can check this up in the filename. This one is cmyk/8 bit
    Use image >> mode to correct you file.
    If that does not solve your issue try doing a save as to a new filename, and try uploading that.
    If you still need help, please send a screenshot of your file details.

  • Lightroom not updating when saved from Photoshop export

    I just recently upgraded to Windows 7 x64, and had to reload both my Lightroom and CS4, and have just run into this issue when I export from Lightroom to Photoshop.  It used to work fine (with my previous installation in XP x64) that when I hit Ctrl+S in Photoshop it would immediately update the view of the file in LR.  This was extremely useful since i run two 24" calibrated LCDs, then I could immediately see in the lR monitor (usually at 50-100% zoom) if I liked my local adjustments (that are always zoomed to 300%+) in Photoshop wihtout having to change zoom level in Photoshop.  Now to get LR to show any Photoshop update after a Ctrl+S, I have to click back into LR and then move forward and backward (I use arrow keys) between images to get LR to update the display.  Any reason this would now be happening, is there some setting in LR to get it to detect the file save and change from Photoshop.
    Any help or ideas appreciated, this is killing my edit time and frustration level!

    I totally forgot about this issue.  You have to actually go set the Photoshop.exe file to be your second editor in LR preferences and then it will complain about PS being already setup, you select 'Use Anyway' and then when you right-click in LR and choose 'Edit In' select the 2ndary Photoshop editor you just setup and it will bring up the dialog about what settings to use for the image and then dump it into PS.  After that as you Ctrl+S in PS it will auto-update the display in LR.
    Self-Solved... hope this helps someone!

  • IPhoto Won't Import JPGs from Photoshop CS2

    Hello,
    I find that if I save a JPG from PS CS2, it will open in Preview, and other applications, but will not import to iPhoto. I have read the other posts here on this topic, but they have not addressed my experience.
    For me, it does not matter whether ".jpg" is added or not. If I open the file in Preview, and simply re-save it, with no other changes, it will import to iPhoto as usual.
    Thoughts?
    Thanks!
    Michael Morrison

    Hello,
    Thanks for your thoughts.
    I do have color management turned on, and the profile is Adobe 1998, rather than sRGB. When I re-save the file in Preview, I am also saving it with Adobe 1998, so it does not appear to be the presence/absence of a profile, nor the type of profile (sRGB or Adobe 1998).
    Further, the article you suggested indicates that this is a problem related only to Power PCs, and I have this trouble on botht Power PCs and Intel machines.
    Further thoughts?
    Thanks again,

  • Keyword tags on JPG from Photoshop Elements

    Hi,
    I have just started to use Lightroom and used to use Photoshop Elements for organizing my photos. And in Photoshop element I only put a keyword tag on the JPG file on and not on the RAW file. And after that I "hided" the RAW files in Photoshop elements.
    When nI ow is using Lightroom I would like to use the feature that "combines" the RAW and JPG file but Lightroom can't do it because of the keyword tag. Is there a way to get Lightroom to combine the files and add the keyword tags to the RAW file? Or how can I get this to work.
    Thanks

    I have tried to remove the keyword tag in Lightroom and also remove the pictures in the catalogue. And import them again and now the tools combines the photos. But as I have a lot of these photos I would like not the use this way forward... as I have to tag them again...

  • Colors look very different when saving to jpg from psd

    I'm working on a CMYK image and when I save it to jpg from photoshop CS6, I get this difference in color:
    In photoshop:
    Viewed from Preview as JPG:
    I can't figure out what's causing this color change... I've never had problems saving to jpg before...
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    When you save the jpeg are you using Save As... or Save For Web...? To keep the jpeg mode as CMYK you have to use Save As and if you want the jpeg's CMYK preview to match in other color managed applications you have to check Embed Color Profile.
    In the Preview app if you choose Tools>Show Inspector the dialog will tell you what profile is embedded. In Photoshop if you choose Document profile from the pop-up in the window's lower left corner, the document's assigned profile will be listed. The Preview and Photoshop profiles have to match in order to get the same color soft proof:

  • WTF? Can't get jpg to save from CS2 (export from Lightroom)

    Okay, have made an extensive search through help and FAQ files, and find some similar problems to mine, but nothing exact.
    I am using Adobe Lightroom 2, but have the same problem with Lightroom 3 Beta (am using Windows 7)
    I do my photo PP in Lightroom, usually export as a JPG, then upload to Flickr....No problem there......
    Recently I have been doing some touch up work in CS2 (v9).  Problem: I bring the LR export JPG into CS2 so I can do my thing, and then try to save using the standard "Save as" function so I can upload to Flickr.   I get the following CS2 error: " Could Not Complete your Request because of a Program Error".  As a workaround I tried using the "Save for Web" function, but as everyone is aware that strips out all the EXIF data (something I want to maintain).  I also tried the "Edit in photoshop" LR function, Doing my CS2 stuff, and then saving the TIFF to a JPG from CS2, resulting in same error.
    I am sure that I am performing some kind of stupid mistake, have an incompatable export setting, or not following the proper workflow process  for LR>CS2>JPG Editing.  I am a humble person, so please kick me in the butt, tell me what I am doing wrong so I can continue with my work!!!
    Any help would be appreciated, oh masters of all things Adobe !!!

    Hi,
    I dont know if this will help but this is how I do it. Set up Ps as your external editor. I think you said you had done this. From Lr use edit in Ps command. It opens the image in Ps. Do your work and then press "save", not save as. This returns the tiff or psd ( you decide in Lr preferences ) to Lr. You can then export as jpg to flickr. Hope this works for you.

  • Can't export an EPS file from Photoshop CS5 and open in Illustrator CS5.

    I'm on Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5
    I am making DVD covers for print. The barcodes for the DVD covers have to be done in Illustrator. But the original designs are done in photoshop including the text. For years this hasn't been a problem. Right before adding the barcodes I create an EPS file from photoshop, open that file in Illustrator and all my text is automatically coverted to perfect crisp clean vectors, viola! I add the barcodes and export the PDF for the printers.
    But now I can't open my EPS files in Illustrator CS5 even though I'm exporting them the same way I always have from Photoshop CS5. Illustrator says... "The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error." --> Note it does not give an error number after this warning like I see it does for so many other people.
    I have been trying to fix this for over 10 HOURS spanning 2 days! I'm infuriated I can't get help from Adobe on this and have read all the forums and don't see my problem listed anywhere.
    I've tried:
    - Deleting the .plist file and the Settings folder & resetting my permissions
    - Uninstalling and Reinstalling Illustrator
    - Turning off all other applications
    - Creating more disk space on my hard drive (even though I have 200gb available)
    - Restarting the computer
    - Disabling my Font book and still I can't open the EPS file
    I thought maybe it's possible it's the font I'm using Fontesque OT so I even tried converting text to objects prior to exporting the EPS file from photoshop to illustrator and turning off my font book, but still it won't open. And if I open the PSD directly in Illustrator, text comes out a bit fuzzy in the PDF I export.
    If anyone can provide any solutions I would be so grateful! I'm at my wits end here, this should have taken under an hour to do and now it's ruining my entire weekend. I'm completely panicked because I was suppose to have these to my client over the weekend so they could turn them in for Print frist thing on Monday morning and of course Adobe provides no chat support or phone support after 7pm on weekday or on the weekend which is when this all started.

    I never even thought of reinstalling photoshop, but I think this was a font issue. I'd never saved an EPS with Fontesque OT Regular enabled, only Fontesque OT Bold. Somehow I think the font was causing the problem because ridding the font from the equation allowed me to open the EPS file.
    After 12 HOURS of trying different things I found a WORK AROUND...
    I had to:
    - Select the Text in Photoshop (with Fontesque OT enabled)  --> Select Create Work Path --> Covert to Shape on each of the text items
    - Save EPS file out of Photoshop
    - Disable Fontesque OT font in Font Book
    - Then open EPS in Illustrator add in my Barcodes and export the PDF
    (the barcodes have to be added in Illustrator because they need to be pure 100% black with no CMYK color in them. You can't save them out of Photoshop that way, only Illustrator, otherwise I would have made my pdf straight out of photoshop like any other normal human
    This work around is the only way I could get the EPS files to open in Illustrator and still have the text remain super crisp like a vector.
    NOTE to others in the future about crisp text from Photoshop to Illustrator:
    - Simply "converting to shape" did not preserve the vector. You have to Select Create Work Path --> then Covert to Shape on each of the text items (with the font enabled) for this to work and preserve the crispness of the text. Even creating "smart object" did not truly preserve my vectors or the text crispness in the EPS file once I imported it into Illustrator.
    DrStrik9 thank you SO MUCH for trying to help me. You did give me ideas that helped me figure out the workaround and also helped me feel not so alone as I struggled through this. I'm going to follow up with your other suggestions about reinstalling photoshop and also checking my RAM, etc. But I just want to that you so so so SOOOO much for all your time and consideration in this matter. I hope you have a wonderful amazing week ahead and that someone does something very nice and thoughtful for you too

  • How can i export a 24bit avi file from photoshop for mac?

    how can i export a 24bit avi file from photoshop for mac? i have a client that specificly needs the files to be avi and in 24bit what are the settings that i need to use to export the video using photoshop on a mac?

    Hello,
      To make a 24-bit AVI file in Photoshop, go to File>Export>Render Video. Then, under File Options, choose AVI from the Quicktime Export drop-down menu. Click the Settings button. Click the Settings button in the AVI Settings window. Change Compression to None, and then choose "Millions of Colors" from the Depth drop-down under Compression.
      The Millions of Colors option is for 24-bit video (8-bit R+G+B channels, 8x3=24). Millions of Colors+ is for 32-bit video (24-bit video plus an 8-bit alpha channel).

  • Is it possible to export Vector Smart Objects as vector SVG files from Photoshop CC 2014?

    I have Vector Smart Objects copied from Illustrator and pasted into Photoshop. I would like to export them as vector SVG files (using Generator or Extract Assets). I can add the .svg extension to the layer and actually export an SVG just fine. The problem is any SVG I have exported have all been raster images. It defeats the purpose of having that as an option as far as I'm concerned.
    I remember watching and listening to keynotes and other speakers at Adobe MAX 2014 who said it was so powerful and amazing to create SVG files from Photoshop. If we're still exporting raster SVG files from Photoshop...that's not very impressive or exciting--especially since this era of modern web development benefits greatly from using vector SVG files.
    I understand that Shape Layers can be exported as vector SVG files but that seems very limiting. I also realize that users can create some impressive vectors in Photoshop, but that is not optimal. Illustrator is a better tool for creating vectors and I normally use Photoshop and Illustrator side-by-side. I know that vector SVG files can be exported from Illustrator but that isn't as user friendly and convenient as utilizing Photoshop > Generator > Reflow.
    My idea was to create my assets in Illustrator, paste them into Photoshop as Vector Smart Objects, set up my layout, and then use the Generator/Reflow method or Extract Assets to get a new web design started.
    Maybe I misunderstood what the speakers at Adobe MAX had said. Perhaps it's just user error and I'm just missing something simple (it happens).
    Photoshop CC 2014 notes the following under Help > System Info:
    Adobe Photoshop Version: 2014.2.2 20141204.r.310 2014/12/04:23:59:59 CL 994532  x64

    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance for your time.

    Not quite the same, but have a look at the new Libraries feature that came with 2014.2.2  I just tried it, and dragging a vector object into a library I created in Photoshop, was there in Illustrator.  This happens without having to close and reopen Illustrator.  Just use the drop down at the top of the Libraries panel (in Illustrator) to find your custom, or job specific library.

  • How do I save an HDR image from Nik silver FX to a jpg in photoshop?

    How do I save an HDR image from silver FX to a jpg in photoshop. when I go to file - save as then option of a jpg does not come up?

    Since the hdr image is probably 32 bits/Channel, you would need to go to Image>Mode and choose either 16 or 8 bits/channel.
    Then in the HDR Toning dialog use the Exposure and Gamma Method with the Exposure set to Zero and Gamma set to One.
    Then you should be able to save out your image as a jpeg.

  • Exporting Photos from Lightroom 3 vs. Saving JPEGs from Photoshop IMAGE QUALITY

    Hi all,
    I'm not quite understanding why if I export a photo from Lightroom 3, the thumbnail looks great in Finder (if you max out display size) but when I edit the same photo from Photoshop and save it, the thumbnail image is blurry. Opening images comes out the same. I'm just being nitpicky, it's kind of annoying. Can anyone explain the difference? Thanks!
