What looks good in Bridge, Lightroom & Safari, looks too light in CS4

When I get things just the way I want them in Lightroom, and export them, when I open them up in Photoshop CS4, they look way too light and even undersaturated. The same image looks the same in Safari, LIghtroom and Bridge, but not CS4. CS4 is set to sRGB and all the images are sRGB images.
Question: why? And what do I need to do so that images look the same in all applications?
I am on a 27" iMac running all the latest software. I have calibrated my monitor and it is set at about 140 cdm2

try exporting from lightroom with AdobeRGB (1998) color space and in photoshop at color settings / working space / rgb choose also AdobeRGB (1998).

Looks good in FCE but DVD looks bad

Hi Guys hope you can help, Have FCE, imports from sony handycam , everything looks good and tight in FCE but when exported to iDVD the finished product looks terrible, hard to describe but looks blurry, almost a ghosting to motion shots, this doesn't do it when I burn from iMovie, I've tried different setups in easy setup with no luck, However I did ( out of frustration) export back to tape and then import into iMovie and then burned from there and it looked much better, please help, thank you

Thank you for responding so quickly, I'm not sure what you require for spec on the Mac but it's a Mac Pro with Hardware Overview:
Model Name: Mac Pro
Model Identifier: MacPro1,1
Processor Name: Dual-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz
Number Of Processors: 2
Total Number Of Cores: 4
L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB
Memory: 2 GB
OS isMac OS X 10.5.4, FCE is version 4, Quicktime is version 7.5, iMovie is version 7.1.4
Sony camcorder is DCR-SR42( 1/6 type) CCD 680,000 pixels, this is a non-tape type, internal harddrive. Note: I also have a Sony DCR TRV 310 tape type that FCE does see and able to control, Clip info says Compressor = DV/DVCPRO- NTSC Data rate = 3.6MB/sec
FCE doesn't see the Sony DCR-SR 42 camcorder when I connect ( via USB) but iMovie does, so I download into iMovie, clips come in as a .mov, clip info says 720x480, FCE clip info says : Creator =Quicktime Player, Compressor= Apple MPEG-2 SD camcorder Video, Data rate=1.2MB/sec, Frame size= 720x480, Vid Rate= 29.97 fps.
So files in iMovie, I open FCE and import files from iMovie , tried using the XLM export from iMovie and it does work however after doing compared testing on test DVD the imported files looked better than the XLMs. I have the easy setup using the DV-NTSC as that's the only one that comes close to what I'm using, same goes for when I export, I export using the Quicktime export with self contained off.
I have iDVD set to professional encoding, (ya I know , iDVD not that professional) when final burn is done and played on a DVD player on a LCD the finished video is really low resolution quality, the content is of a football game ( my sons) using tripod of coarse, but the images are rough, blockly, looks like really bad codec or wrong codec or wrong conversion type or too much compression. I have done other DVD's with iMovie from tape camera that look alot better than what I'm getting from FCE, Please help, what I'm I doing wrong, thank you

Looks good in firefox browser but looks like hell on upload to my server

I created a webpage, used a simple template of 'header' 'content' 'footer', inserted an image into the header, inserted a table then image then table in the content, and nothing in the footer. it looks great when previewed with Firefox or Explorer. But when I upload it to my server it looks like hell. The image in the header is off to the side, my content is overlaying the header. the left side of the template is dark gray. What could have possibly happened?

You may have forgotten to upload your .css file.
Without a link to the actual page, it's hard to say what else might be wrong.
If you uploaded your css, one thing to look at is the case structure of your files. Servers are CaSe SenSiTiVe, your local OS is not, so a link like " _css/one page with header.css" will work with a file named "One Page With Header.css" locally, however, online the link would break since the two names (one all lower case the other with "camel case" structure) would be considered different files by the server.
Be careful with file names for that reason. They really should be simple lowercase alpha numerics with no spaces (use underscores or hyphens instead).

Whats a good laptop to get thats not too expensive

Was just wondering whata good laptop to get that wont cost an arm and leg?

Humerous, hehe.
In all seriousness, there are a variety of laptops that no doubt suit your needs wonderfully. You can definitely do a search on the Best Buy website under laptops and change the parameters to LOW TO HIGH. That will give you the cheapest laptops.
If you'd like to know which laptop will give you the best bang for the buck, so to speak, we'll need to know a little about what you intend to do with it? Give us a breakdown on your expected daily tasks - be it merely browsing the web and checking email, or playing games. (If games, which ones? Facebook style or more intense?)
I'm certain we can come up with something you'll really enjoy, if you'll spend a little time giving us more information!
Look forward to hearing from you!

M2v looks good but shows artefacts after build

Hello everybody,
I have a rather strange problem with some mpeg files.
- I exported movies from fcp as DVfiles (footage was also shot in DV)
- I used compressor 3.01 to make MPEG2 m2v's
- with 2pass VBR and 6.9 MBit/s
- I am using ac3 audio with 384kHz (5.1)
The footage looks good in DVSP
The footage looks good in QT (7.2.0) and any other "player" on the MAC
BUT
it has some more or less bad looking blocks / artefacts showing after I built the project and watch it with the apple dvd player.
What am i missing here?
Thanks for any advice!
Timo

Hello, yes I am playing it at normal size. No fullscreen.
It really seems to be an "Apple DVD Player" problem, i tried with and without de-interlacing, removing all sorts of quicktime components (because i thought sth might interrupt the playback) and such but it is still the same.
(But it looks good on TV and -I hardly dare to say it- a fairly old windows laptop)
Well. maybe someone is more into the tech stuff and knows something else.
Thanks a lot for your help anyway.
Cheers,
T.

My wireless mouse has stopped scrolling up and down. I have checked my settings and everything looks good. Any suggestions on what else to check?

Hi:
I wish my suggestion had gotten you further.
I do suggest you try to connect the keyboard again. The request for a number is a step in it trying to pair. If it gets by the number, it sometimes takes a little while to get connected. If you are unable to get it connected and want a new one, I have been using Apple Bluetooth keyboards for years - and I like them. The one I have (the newest model) only uses two batteries and is very thin.
Speaking of batteries, if you are not already doing so, you might consider rechargeables. I have a drawer full of them and use a 15 minute charger. I go tired of buying batteries and rechargeables are environmentally friendly to boot. At the moment, I use 2450 mAh Energizers and a 15 minute Energizer charger (all purchased new on eBay at a very reasonable price).
I am far from an iPad "expert," although I have one. If my suggestion below does not help, post your question in a separate thread in the iPad forum.
I had a terrible time syncing my iCal on my Mac with my iPad iCal (confusing - hopefully it makes sense). I quit using iCloud as that added to the confusion. There is a facility to one-time sync items. When you connect your computer to your iPad, iTunes opens. The system begins a process (automatic backup and so on). After it finishes, you can click on "info." At the bottom of the screen, there is an advanced section. You can select any of the items and then force it to sync. The iCal information from your computer would be deposited on the iPad.
After all that, I do not use a Google calendar so the information may be worthless to you.
If you want to reset the iPad to factory settings, you can do that when it is connected to iTunes (one of the options). Me being me, I try never to erase anything.

I successfully downloaded Lightroom CC. everything looks good, but it will not open. The circle spins about 2 times and then it just stops and I get nothing. I uninstalled and restarted my computer. I downloaded again. Same problem

Have you tried logging out of your CC desktop app, then logging back in again? Quit/Restart won't work, but logging out and back in should. See here: https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/sign-in-out-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html

I'm using iweb 3.4 and trying to load audio files to my web page. everything looks good in iweb but after publishing instead of having a control bar i have a "?". does anyone know what to do?

I'm using iweb 3.4 and trying to load audio files to my web page. Everything looks good in iweb but after publishing instead of having a control bar i have a "?". Does anyone know what to do?

Where are you hosting the site, how are you uploading the files and what's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand?
Adding audio files by dragging onto the web page forces the viewer to have Quicktime installed on their computer in order to be able to listen to them. Look at the audio player options on this page of Roddy's iWeb for Musicians site: Audio Players for your Music Website.

What do you use to make Gnome apps look good in KDE4?

What are you all using to make Gnome apps (like Firefox, Gimp, Inkscape.. etc) look good in KDE (I am using KDEmod).
I tried Qtcurve (I think it works the best), gtk-qt-engine (for some reason it didn't seem to work for me) and others...
I want to hear opinion from other people (who use KDE or possibly KDEmod) and who are probably using Arch longer than me. This is my first successful Arch install.

When I open a photo I saved with PE13, the photo looks good. But when I click on advanced mode, the photo is all pixelated. What is the problem?

When I open a photo file I saved with PE 13, the photo looks good. Then when I click on advanced mode, the photo becomes all pixelated. Any suggestions how to stop this?

The menu selection only shows the other options if you already have a selection active; a selection made with one of the available tools like lasso or quick selection. First select with the tools, then use the menu 'Select'.

Our iCal is refusing to refresh, we're using mobileme and that account all looks good. Just suddenly refusing to refresh. Have resubscribed everyone, just don't know what's up with it? Any ideas? we rely on it to keep everyone on schedule!

Doh, I thought I had to cram the question into those few words - didn't realise it wa sa title! Our iCal has just recently refused to automatically refresh - if you delete it and subscribe again it won't let you. All machines affected. We use MobileMe and I've been on the account and all looks good. Is there someone we can phone to talk this through? We're a mag so we really need to all work on the same schedule and know who is off etc? Any clues?
Cheers
Beverley

Have you got a firewall? - these can sometimes cause problems.
If you are in a business environment and all on the same LAN, you might like to consider abandoning MobileMe and buying BusyCal. It's like iCal Pro in effect, with more facilities, including the ability to display ToDos in the day area: it uses the same database as iCal.
You would revert to local calendars, and BusyCal can sync them instantly between computers on the same network, with read/write access if required. (Syncing can only take place when Macs are on).
It's available in the Mac App Store and their site has a free trial period (it's more expensive on the site so you would want to delete the trial and buy from the App Store).

When I first am looking at my newly uploaded photos in "Library", a box appears near the bottom of the photo that says "loading" (the photo looks good to me), then it is more "faded" and does not look as good. Is there some setting on that I am not aware

When I am first looking at my newly uploaded photos in "Library," a box appears near the bottom of the photo that says "Loading". While it is loading, I usually think the photo looks "good". After the photo is done loading, it looks more washed out. Is there some sort of setting that I might have on (or that I need to turn on) so that this does not happen. I have Lr4. Thanks.

Hi Tracy,
There used to be a way to see if poster was new to the forum.., anyway - welcome to the forum.
As I was alluding to, biggest differences in initial display are due to:
* Camera calibration profile.
* Auto-exposure/contrast settings (for which compensations have been auto-applied in camera, but not in Lightroom).
So, choose a matching camera calibration profile (whether that's an option or not depends on your camera model - they're available for many but not all models) if you prefer one of them over "Adobe Standard" (the factory default profile).
Also, your camera covers for underexposure due to non-optimal auto-exposure/contrast setting, Lightroom doesn't, so your options are:
* turn it off in camera.
* learn to compensate manually (or automatically via a plugin) in Lightroom.
Of course, in addition to preferred defaults (alt-click big "reset" button in dev module), come up with some presets which are appropriate for your druthers and type of photography.. e.g. these will compensate Nikon ADL settings:

How can I make my images look good when exporting to PDF document?

Hello! I'm struggling here with a PDF Brochure that I need to create (intended for web only, not print).
There are two images that look horrible and pixelated when I create my PDF file. I have tried everything, making the images bigger and smaller, using 72 dpi images and 300 dpi ones. Everything results the same way... It looks perfect in my InDesign file, but in the PDF it looks all damaged. Here are two screen shots, one of how it looks in the PDF and one of how it looks in InDesign.
Could you please tell me what I need to do to guarantee that the image looks good quality in the PDF? (My document is 40cmx20cm, I don't not if using cm is affecting the document).
To export to PDF I'm using the option: Adobe PDF pressets --> Smallest file size.
If you can help me I would really appreciate it!
Thank you,
Nataly.

If it's for the web, why not export to JPEG? Why PDF?
Terrible idea. In a JPG the text will not be alive, you loose all interactivity.
And making JPGs with InDesign is not what the program is meant to make.

What looks good in Bridge, Lightroom & Safari, looks too light in CS4
