Watermark added to photos - but the colors are faded now!

Hi!
Hope somebody can help me, cause I couldn't find this problem in the forum yet.
I'm using Automator mostly for resizing my photos and to add a watermark. But after the workflow is finished the colors are always quite a bit faded.
I did the workflow manually with photoshop, but then the photos look normal!
I list the workflow as follows:
1. get selected finder items
2. open
3. add graphic watermark
4. scale image (750 px, 72ppi)
5. render (save as jpeg)
Hope somebody can help me.
Thanks.

    i had a power mac g4 into which i put 3, 320 gb PATA hard drives in a raid slice config so that it worked as one drive needless to sat that i lost the g4 to a surge but the drives are good. now i have an imac, how can i recover the info off those drives. can i put the drives in external cases and plug them all in, will the imac see them as a raid slice then  help please

    Before you have another accident:
    Buy a UPS of good quality and sufficient to your needs.
    I would have to assume that the drives were connected to a PCI PATA card, hopefully. Otherwise, well RAID and having drives on the same bus (master and slave).
    And no backup, none at all...
    Get your hands on a G4.
    Data Rescue 3 from Prosoft maybe.
    If they were SATA and running on PCI SATA controller, very popular and common really in G4s, more options would be open.

  • Adding new contacts but the requests are not going...

    Hi, 
    Please assist me on this critical issue. I was using latest version of skype that is 7.5 as it upgraded itself many times during the years. I have been adding new connections to my account as i deal with social media websites. Recently i discovered that the contact requests are not going through. 
    I mean the contacts are real and they are active but when i add them to my skype. The request was sent but not delivered actually. I tested that by creating one more personal account. I have sent request from my primary account to the new one. I checked the new account to see if i got the request or not. And yes there was no request. 
    Then i tried sending request from my new account to the primary one. And i got the contact request. Wondering is that issue related to my account or version. I am sure it is not the case with the version because the new account is using the same version too.
    Please let me know. My skype - [Removed for privacy] and I would like to test it with some of your guys here. 

    Thanks everyone.
    It worked when I changed "Point.java" as follows:
    public class Point {
         private int x;
         private int y;
         public int getXCoordinate()
              return x;
         public int getYCoordinate()
              return y;
         public void setXCoordinate(int newX)
              x = newX;
         public void setYCoordinate(int newY)
              y = newY;
         public Point(int x, int y)
              setXCoordinate(x);
              setYCoordinate(y);

  • I imported set of photos but the dark areas looks weird. How can I correct it?

    I tried to create a photo slideshow using iMovie. Everything works great except one issue. The dark area of the photos looks weird after import. Please check this screenshot: https://www.evernote.com/shard/s245/sh/bc44cc6d-3ab1-4d4b-91b2-9e466192c2c8/9257 952cec51ec08671cb8083086cf68
    Original size of the photo is 4000px in witdh. I also tried to resize it to 800px with same result.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    Did you take a backup in between taking the photos and deleting them ? If you did then try restoring to that backup (you will need to restore the whole iPad, you can't just do the Photos app) and they should be put back.
    Backups and restores : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4079
    When you create new albums directly on your iPad and 'copy' photos into them you are effectively just creating pointers to the orginal photos, you aren't creating copies of the photos - so if you then delete the original photo you will also be deleting all pointers to and therefore be removing it from all albums that you've copied it into (you should have got a warning when deleting the photo that that would happen).

  • I'm looking at older photos but the sliders are from Lightroom 4 and not my current Lightroom 5 sliders.  How do I get the photos to work on Lightroom 5 editing?

    I was looking at some old photos from 2012 but when I clicked the files (.dng) instead of opening with the sliders for LR5, it opened sliders for I believe LR4.  How do I get those older photos to open under LR5 sliders and not older versions of LR?

    Sorry, not so good great at LR.  Do you have pics or something visual to show how this is done?...Do i have to switch each photo's process version or is there a way to do a whole batch of them?
    The quickest way to update just one photo is to click the lightning bolt icon under the histogram in the Develop module. This can be more convenient than scrolling all the way down to the Calibration tab.
    A quick way to update a whole batch of them is to select any number of them in Grid view, and then choose Photo > Develop Settings > Convert to Current Process. The AutoSync way works too, as long as you remember to turn it off immediately after you're done.
    Like JimHess suggests, I don't automatically convert them all at once, but on a case by case basis because they don't always look better after conversion. The benefits of the new process version can potentially make them look better, but you usually have to do a few more adjustments to get them there. If you don't have time to do that yet but you need to use the existing images soon, leave them in the old process version for now.

  • When printing photos at my hp 1514n the colors are odd + not suitable. using win7 64bit +lat. driver

    Hi, I' using a hp 1514n for printing photos. It's attached to my Win7 64bit computer. But the colors are not suitable. Printing is in high quality but the coloras are wrong (i.e. instead of a bule sky I get it  turquois).
    all patches installaed and also the lastest drivers. What else can I do?
    The files are ok, because I get the right colors when printign the files at another hp color laser jet with win7 (32 bit)
    Where can I get a suitable icc file?

    I'd use the GutenPrint drivers. They're usually better than the drivers that HP ships, anyway, and the latest version of GutenPrint will work with Leopard while the HP drivers for a printer that old will not. The drivers at <http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/MacOSX/hpijs> also explicitly support the DJ960C. Those drivers are usually written by HP employees, are often superior to the drivers HP uses, and, like the GutenPrint drivers, are free.

  • When i print out a color photo the colors are not accurate

    I have a new envy110 series CQ811A. I have a windows 7 64-bit laptop. There are no error messages and the Envy works great but when i print a picture off of a web site the colors are not accurate and i mean none of them. i have returned one printer already but this one is doing the same thing. i really like this printer but if it won't print the colors correctly  i don't know what i will do. I also have a HP C4280 All In One Photo Smart and whatever is printed off the colors are great it just is not wireless. I have tried everything and nothing helps. Is there a solution

    Hi easyneez5!
       Sorry to hear it's not printing web pages so well.
     I do have a suggestion, that may or may not align with the way your are used to printing web pages; HP has a new and improved application for printing web page content; HP Smart Print.
       It's supported on IE (most versions) and can do some neat tricks: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/partner/microsoft/bing-bar-for-hp/smart-print.html
      There are also other potential 'tweaks' you can try in the [Printing Preferences] / [Advanced]: Image Color Managment; You might try setting it from 'ICM Handled by Host System' (default) to 'ICM Handled by Printer' or even 'ICM Disabled'.
       Again, this is merely a potential way to check to see if this helps get those colors right; and remember your settings before you change them.
      Hope this helps

    What is the problem specifiaclly?
    If the images are intended for web use I would recommend converting them to sRGB which could be done with Edit > Convert to Profile or with File > Save for Web, but as including a Save step in Actions and applying them as Batch can sometimes cause problems I would go with regular converting.
    You could also try Image Processor Pro.

  • Some photo folders in my Windows Photo Gallery are listed in iTunes when I sync my iPhone 3GS but the folders are empty

    Some photo folders in my Windows Photo Gallery are listed in iTunes when I sync my iPhone 3GS but the folders are empty.  The same photo folders in Windows Photo Gallery are full of photos. How do I fix this?

    You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

  • I have just added an album to my iTunes from a CD. But the tracks are now displayed in 2 places in my iTunes library. How do I consolidate them into a single album?

    I have just added an album to my iTunes from a CD. But the tracks are now displayed in 2 places in my iTunes library -- as if I had downloaded 2 seperate albums. How do I consolidate them into a single album in my iTunes?

    Did you use the same method to add each of the six albums to your library?  With some of iTunes configuration options, some imports (CDs, Store purchase, use of the Automatically add to iTunes folder) will go into the standard media folder location, but the other methods to add media files already on your PC (Add File to Library..., Add Folder to Library..., drag and drop) will leave the files in their original spot.
    The other factor that may influence where iTunes locates media files is the setting of the "part of a compilation" flag in the media metadata.  When this flag is set iTunes (when configured to organize your media and copy all additions to the media folders) will place files in iTunes Media\Music\Compilations\album_title rather than iTunes Media\Music\artist_name\album_title.

  • Color space-creating a book in My publisher-.when I look at the share book pre print the colors are all dulled out. I work in pro photo rgb in LR and PS -.My Pub is sRGB-.where is the problem?

    Color space…creating a book in My publisher….when I look at the share book pre print the colors are all dulled out. I work in pro photo rgb in LR and PS ….My Pub is sRGB….where is the problem?

    I finally got to my references. This had to do with "soft proofing" on screen in Photoshop.
    So this may not help you at all. Re: Strange sRGB soft-proofing behavior  So go ahead and leave that setting at Basic.
    However there is a Color Management forum that you also go to and see if anyone has answers for your particular problem.
    Here is the link: Color management
    I hope they can help you out.

    I am having problems launching the standalone version of Lightroom 6 after I have gone through the install and activation process? Lightroom starts to open but "hangs" before any photos in the catalgue are displayed. I have contacted the chat support twice but they have not been able to fix the problem.

    I went through the activation process yesterday and shut down my PC when I went to bed last evening. When I got up this morning and turned my PC on and then started Lightrom 6 (I upgraded from version 5) it started to launch but then just hung and became "not responsive". I I then uninstalled and then reinstalled the product today but the same thing happened. What is weird is that when I install from the standalone file I downloaded when I purchased the upgrade it looks like it's downloading the software again over the Internet? I have been having these problems for the last four or five days. I have contacted the chat support folks twice and they were able to get it working but whatever they did did not last as the problem reappeared again once the PC was shut down and then started up again.
