Weird image distortion when opened in CS5.

Whenever I open an image in CS5, no matter what file format it is, if it's not zoomed into a whole number % then I get lines/distortion/pixelization similar to this:
I remember encountering this problem before, but it went away after I disabled something (can't remember what I disabled!) and now that I updated my computer, the issue is back.
Thanks!

Chances are good you need a new video driver from the site of the manufacturer of your video card.
You may be able to work around the problem for now by choosing Edit - Preferences - Performance and disabling the [ ] Enable OpenGL Drawing setting.

File and image distortion when opened in Photoshop CS6

I recently upgraded to a new computer and I am experienceing strange black bands blotches when opening many of my old photoshop files or even when opening common files types (jpg/png). The problem doesnt occur with all file, some open just fine. The distortion only appears within photoshop, when I try to save the file for display everything looks fine as long as I don’t open the saved file in photoshop. I feel like I’m missing something basic but I’ve used PS for years and never encountered this.
All of my profile settings are exactly the same as they were on the old computer (basically default) so I don’t think there is a mismatch.
Using Adobe Creative Cloud if that helps.

Drivers are fully updated. You did lead me to a solution though once I considered the video card might be the problem. Apparently there is a bug between the current Catalyst driver and current version of Photoshop.
In case anyone else experiences the problem here is a workaround.
Go into Edit - Preferences - Performance, [Advanced Settings], and choose Drawing Mode: Basic.

Yes. They don't make any sense to me either. Are we supposed to be looking at a blank dark gray rectangle, or has the upload process failed the OP ?

Photos distorted when opened in preview, yet ok in cover flow

Hi
I previously posted this question which got moved to the iPhoto section, but its NOT an iPhoto issue: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2619921&tstart=0
Having purchased a new camera (Sony DSC2000) the first time I used it the photos were fine...now ever since they appear intermittently distorted, or missing altogether. I tried creating a basic new user account as a test with the same results. Help!!

Hi
Thanks for the tip. Yes the problems happen regardless of the location or user account. As an example when opening the jpegs in Preview the log shows the following messages repeatedly:
Macintosh.local Finder[115] <Error>: CGImageCreate: invalid image size: 0 x 0.
10/12/2010 18:59:10 [0x0-0xb00b].com.apple.finder[115] Fri Dec 10 18:59:10 Macintosh.local Finder[115] <Error>: CGImageCreate: invalid image size: 0 x 0.
10/12/2010 18:59:21 [0x0-0xb00b].com.apple.finder[115] Fri Dec 10 18:59:21 Macintosh.local Finder[115] <Error>: Corrupt JPEG data: bad Huffman code.
And when viewing the distorted jpegs in cover flow in Finder:
Macintosh.local quicklookd[727] <Error>: Corrupt JPEG data: premature end of data segment
10/12/2010 19:25:22 com.apple.quicklook[727]
10/12/2010 19:25:24 com.apple.quicklook[727] Fri Dec 10 19:25:24 Macintosh.local quicklookd[727] <Error>: Bogus marker length
Any ideas gratefully received. Short of anything else I reckon I will try an erase and fresh install of Mac OS X 10.5 and see if that sorts things.

Weird icons appear when Opening Documents in Document Library

Experiencing intermittent issue when opening a document in a certain document library.
These weird icons appear.
Artificial intelligence can never beat natural stupidity.

That's a sprite file. It's downloaded once for a page and then CSS is used to pick a part of that image. The full display of that image is usually caused by a timeout when downloading the CSS file. If you refresh the page, does it display correctly?
Does the page have any custom JavaScript or custom CSS?
Here's some info on sprite files:

Error Message when opening Photoshop CS5: CoreFoundation.dll missing

Hello... and thank you for your help,
I downloaded my upgraded version of CS5 yesterday. I am running Windows 7.
I did not have a problem with the download or with accessing it. CS4 is still loaded on my computer.
Toady I started copying plugins and loading actions from CS4 to CS5. All of that went well too. I also tried to open CS4 while CS5 was open (and vice versa) to manually copy my Preference settings to CS5. When either was already open and I tried to open the other version, the other version merely reopened the version that was already opened.
At some point during this transitioning process, I opened up CS5 and received an error message that "The program can't start because the CoreFoundation.dll is missing from your computer..." I searched for this .dll file and found several entries, two of which are in CS4 and CS4 (64 bit).
How do I correct this? What happened? Also, do I need to keep my CS4 versions -- and are they causing the problem?
Thank you so much for your help,
Guy

Thanks so much, Chris.
The 64bit version of CS5 opens perfectly... and when I open this version first, then close it and open the 32 bit version (the one with the problem), the 32 bit version opens the first time without the error. The next time I open it, the error returns.
The 32 bit and 64 bit CS4 versions have these .dll files in them. Would copying one of these files to the CS5 version correct the problem? Should I uninstall and reinstall CS5 all together?
Thank you again.
Guy
PS Interesting that you mention iTunes. iTunes works fine except I haven't been able to open the iTunes store for two months... and Apple doesn't know why. (They stopped trying a month ago.) Also, one of their techs told me I can't delete Quicktime without damaging iTunes(?)

Image Distortion When Printing

Had an ad supplied for a book that was printed digitally. Entire book printed fine except for page with this ad. I got an image drop shadow, but it was way out of position and distorted. Printed claimed it was a bad PDF. All's I did was place a customer-supplied PDF on the page in InDesign, then exported entire book to print-ready PDF. It was fine throughout all proof stages, but when book delivered, I got the strange image distortion. ???
Thanks.

Hi peterpica,
You might try printing this image with a different printer and then check.
What version of Acrobat are you using?
There might be some problem of low resolution from the printer.
So, please check and let me know.

IndesignCS3 graphic skews when opened in CS5.5!!!

I had a customer supplied CS3 document that we originally opened in CS4 and the graphic in question rendered properly. We then received a revised version (CS3 again) from the client and we inadvertently opened it in CS5.5. By opening it in CS5.5 the oblong shaped Indesign graphic skewed on one end. This shape had a 7 pt white rule and had a Indesign gradient graphic pasted into it . The look was that of a pill (prescription drug) for a Prescription Drug Brochure. It wasn't noticed and printed that way!!!! We're looking for answers on why this occurred???

Hard to visualize what youare dscribing. I don't suppose you can give us some screen captures?
There are other reports of strange things happening when opening legacy files in newer versions, and there is ALWAYS the possibility that you will cause text reflow, even if everything else is OK, if you touch a text frame. As a prepress operator, I wonder why you would even use CS4 to open a CS3 file? There is a little utility from Rorohiko.com called Soxy that will automatically launce hte correct version of ID when opening files, and it would probably be worth your while to use it.

Why Does Image Distort When I move the Bones?

http://postimage.org/image/jjcef8ebt/
Hi, I just watched a tutorial where they apply bnes to deform a "bitmap" image. Their image didn't distort like my image. Why is this happening.
I imported an image then I "selected "break apart" and then I added bones to it. When I move the bones it makes the image distort, but in this tutorial here the image doesn't distort. What is wrong?

The tutorial you watched is very simplistic. He doesn't use the bones in a realistic way and skips over the fact that his image isn't actually distorting the way he implies it will.
When you break apart a bitmap on the Stage, you end up with a shape that has its fill set as the bitmap (which is still in the library). When you bend and distort this shape with bones, the effect on the bitmap fill is unpredictable. Note that in the tutorial you cited, the author does not show the bitmap actually distorting in any useful way.
The better way to do this is to select the bitmap instance on stage and then choose Modify > Bitmap > Trace Bitmap. This converts the bitmap instance to a vector drawing. The problem here is that you end up with mulitple shapes of different colors if you have a multi-color image like your dinosour tail. You can add bones to the main green part of the tail, but the yellow parts will not be associated with those bones and so will not move with them. If you are animating the tail in the timeline, you can animate the main part of the tail via the bones and then animate the other parts to compliment that movement by moving those other parts to different layers and animating with normal motion tweens.

Strange JPG bug. Lost image details when open it in PS. It looks sharper.

Hello.
Strange problem found.
This problem recur in Windows/Mac environment and in the CS4, CS3, CS2 and even 5.5 :-) (maybe others) versions of PS.
When open some JPG images in Photoshop, some details lost and image looks sharper/grainy then it is.
I've tested jpg's created by 3d editing program, downloaded from web etc on different PC's and still same problem, only in PS.
Any ideas?
I think, it's not driver problem, because of problem iterations on different machines and in PS only.
CS4 11.0.1 installed, nvidia fx3700 latest drivers installed.
Original image in attachment, to open it ps and see the bug.

I didn't see any of that.
What I did see was that when opened and viewed in Paintshop pro X2 the picture was the same.
When opened and viewed in PS CS4 extended the red color was noticeabley washed out.
I must have something adjusted wrong in PS.

Photoshop EPS Won't Open/Distorted When Opened

The two problems I'm having revolve around Photoshop EPSs and Illustrator CS4.
I created a very high resolution file in Photoshop which included some vector shapes & text. My client wanted the files delivered in EPS format, so I exported them as Photoshop EPS.
Problem 1: If I check "Include Vector Data" when saving as Photoshop EPS, I am unable to open the file in Illustrator. Illustrator shows a "Parsing EPS Format..." dialogue box with a progress bar, and after about 10 seconds and the progress bar gets about halfway, it gives an error: "The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error." In addition, the EPS won't open in Photoshop, with the error: "Could not complete your request because photoshop was unable to parse the PostScript."
Problem 2: I am able to open the EPS file in Illustrator if I do not check "Include Vector Data" when saving, however the vector objects appear distorted. This also happens in PDF form.
I am certain the problems stem from the fact that the files are so large, because when I create a small test image in Photoshop and re-create the steps, I don't have any problems.
So I'd like some suggestions on either how to fix the problem or advice on a better way to deliver the files to my client. I'm a Web Designer by trade, but my boss just dropped this graphic design project into my lap and doesn't seem to understand that the two fields are vastly different. I use the Adobe Web Suite so I don't have InDesign, and even if I did I don't know how to use it. How do graphic designers keep their file sizes small when they're making such high-resolution designs?

I just wanted to thank Scott for the tip below, i had an eps file sent to me and encountered the problems outlined above (i am using CS3) followed Scotts advice and i am pleased to say it worked a treat. Well done internet and well done forum users!

I removed line containing a similar line as above "FF logo BLACK.eps EPSFART5 ,ë ;¿§¿§ õw " from the file header using Notepad and the EPS file opens in CS3. Remove everything prior to %!PS-Adobe and it should open.

IPTC information reverting to older version when opening in CS5

Ok, I will try to explain this as clearly as I can. I am having an issue with the IPTC information for an image (in this case keywords) reverting to a older version when I open the tiff image in photoshop CS6 compared to CS2.
The keywords were added in ThumbsPlus on a Windows XP computer. On the XP computer the image was edited on, all the keywords are there when the image is opened up in CS2, irrelevant of whether the image is from the folder on that computer, or the version that was copied to my computer (Windows 7).
However when I open up the image in CS5 on my computer (again irrelevant of whether I open my copied version or the one from the XP computer) the keywords viewed in File Info are an older version with words missing. If I create a jpeg file from this tiff it makes it with the older version of the keywords (this might be obvious, just wanted to give all info).
I have randomly had the problem before with other images dropping of the description or again reverting to an older version.
This has only been happening since I have had CS5.

Please bare with me I am a complete novice about these things.. Here is what I did (which didn't work)..
1. I deleted the app off my phone.
2. Despite the phone syncing when I plugged my phone into the computer the old version of the app is still showing in my itunes library. (I am still showing that an update is available for it). If I had the new version updates wouldn't be available correct?
3. Went to my device.. right clicked and selected "Backup".
4. Synced phone. (Had" My device" open and synced using button on lower right side of the screen).
The sync did not add the app to my phone.

Images distorting when saving as pdf

Hi
I am having a problem when exportng a file as a pdf. A jpg image that I am using distorts. This is a high res file and I have tried exporting with both the 'high quality print' and 'press quality' presets.
I have tried printing directly from illustrator and the image looks great, when I print from the pdf the image looks disorted.
I have attached an image to show what I mean, the image on the left is from the pdf.
Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks
John

To fix the bump here, I would open the image in photoshop, and add a little more canvas to the right side. If you have more time, I would recreate this as a vector object, as this does not look too good in Illustrator.

Tiny image size when opening files

When I open a file in CC2014 on my iMac it opens in a new window (I turned off opening in tabs) with an incredibly small file size. The image size is fine, but the view is 0.05% of the original. I'm sure I clicked on something to make this frustrating situation occur, but have no idea how to fix it. Any ideas?

Just figured it out - I had made the photoshop screen where the controls are located small to get it out of the way a little and when I opened the files it made them as small as possible to 'fit' in the window I shrunk. I opened it back to full size and the images open fine. I'm an idiot. Sorry to waste your time ssprengel
