When I load images to PS they appear terribly grainy but are clean in other programs

When I load a picture into photoshop in RAW format it appears to be very grainy and distorted. Then when I view it from my computer instead of photoshop it's fine. Here's a snippet of the image from photoshop.
Here's the actual image (resized for easy upload to this forum).
PLEASE HELP! This just started today.

Chances are your display driver doesn't properly support Photoshop's OpenGL needs.
There are some very nice features tied to GPU accelerated drawing. You should investigate whether there's a newer/better display driver available on the web site of the maker of your video card / GPU, and see if you can get better image quality using the accelerated features. Normally the presentation is a good bit BETTER looking (when zooming, for example) with OpenGL enabled.

Last night suddenly when I right-click-view-images in firefox, they appear centered and against a black background. It's usually meant to be a white background and the image appearing at top left. How to revert it?

I'm having trouble with something in firefox, it's quite minor but still bugs me. Last night suddenly when I right-click-view-images in firefox, they appear centered and against a black background. It's usually meant to be a white background and the image appearing at top left. I can't remember what I did to change this if it's my fault; if someone knows how to revert it I'd be thankful.

cor-el : thanks for the pointers! I wish the solution isn't an add-on every time ... if such long-standing behaviour is going to change, the least that could be done is put in an about:config option to get back the old behaviour.

I have a video that is 1920 x 1080 14.99fps, when I load in Premiere 1080p30 it appears to be moving in slow motion, How do I fix that?

I am having the same problem, which I can explain a little better: A clip which is actually 29.97 fps (verified using QT properties) is importing as 1/2 framerate, or 14.985 (rounded up to 14.99) fps. This happens with several of my clips, regardless of the import method used (drag/drop from OS, right-click/import, or use Media Browser). I cannot interpret the footage back to 29.97, as doing so doubles the speed of the audio (an interview) making it unusable.

My photos are in Raw Format when I open in Bridge and they appear very clean but when I transfer them to Photoshop they are full of noise. What should I do to fix the problem? Thanks.

are you sure its not just the way you are viewing the photo? you don't even see noise on the preview in Bridge and when I say preview I mean when zooming into the preview window. My thought process being in PS you are zoomed in more

HT1338 I have just bought a new Mac Pro after my old one died after nearly 10 years. I have most of my music backed up on CDs, but when i load them into iTunes they are only identified as Track 1, 2, etc. Can I transfer from my iPod and how?

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

Movies show up in "Purchased" but when I download them, they appear to download but don't ever show up in "Downloads". Why?

I purchased movies on my iPad2, bought the new iPad and transferred my content, returned the new iPad and kept my iPad2. Now when I try to download movies back to my iPad2, I find them under "Purchased", click on them and they appear to download, but never show up in "Downloads". Why? I use iCloud to backup content.

What exactly do you mean when you say they do not appear under downloads, downloaded videos will appear in the video app on your iPad.

Hi, My photo stream used to work fine. But after removing all the photos to separate folders in my computer, my new photos are no longer streaming to my PC. They appear in the photo stream on my other devices - iPhone5 and iPad Mini. It's just my PC

Hi,
My photo stream used to work fine. But after removing all the photos to separate folders in my computer, my new photos are no longer streaming to my PC. They appear in the photo stream on my other devices - iPhone5 and iPad Mini. It's just my PC that's missing the photos.
When I open the iCloud control panel, I cannot turn on the photos. That option is ghosted. I'm running on Windows 7 with iCloud 3.0. Any ideas on how I can fix this? All help is appreciated! Thanks!

Hi Kevinmvb,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The article below may be able to help you with this. It sounds like you may have moved your photos out of the Uploads folder where they need to reside.

FCP X deleted about 2/3 of events to a project and the project. I uploaded the project to vimeo from FCP X, and the next day when I tried to use FCPX, they were gone, the events are gone from fcp and my ext hd, the project is still on the ext hd.

Thanks for the reply Andy.
No, I don't have identical projects on a second drive, only saving to the movies folder on internal HD. The files and media save there fine, but fcp doesn't seem to recognise them the next day, just opens with one new untitled event and no projects.
I have tried saving to en external HD tonight and will see if the problem happens again with this set up when I restart tomorrow.
But I should be able to save to internal HD, so something is going wrong...

Help with placing images - why do they appear at 150% and look bad?

Hi there,
Relative newbie here.
I have my display performace in InDesign set to high. Whether I 'place' an image or simply drag it onto the page, and regardless of what image file format I use (tif, png, jpg, whatever), when placed, the images appear about 50% bigger than the source, and low-ish quality. I'm forced then to try to resize them manually so they look good on-screen and when printed.
Why when I place images do they not appear at 100%?
Is there a way to resize images other than grabbing the re-size handles and hoping for the best?
Many thanks.

OK, if the scale says 100% with the direct select tool, that's what you have. Note that using the regular select tool (the black arrow) will ALWAYS show 100% in the scale fields unless you have set your prefs to "adjust scaling percentage," so that's why you use the direct select tool to check. You can also selct the image with either tool and look at the Info Palette. at 100% the actual and effective ppi listed will be the same. What resolution is currently listed in the Info Palette?
I asked about click vs, click and drag because in CS4 when you drag a frame it always scales the image to fit. This is not true in CS3.
Screen captures are typically 72 ppi at the size they are captured. 72 ppi is low for most print work, but for screen captures nobody really expects much in terms of quality. You really are placing, right, not dragging from Photoshop into ID, which is the equivalent of pasting? Pasting an image gives you only the screen preview in CS3. I'm not sure you'd see a difference with a screen grab, though, since the preview would also be 72 ppi.
If the image is really too large on the page you can scale in ID by holding the Ctrl + Shift keys while dragging a handle. You must press the keys before clicking the mouse in Windows becasue there is a bug. You can also use the Scale tool, or enter a new scale value in the scaling fields. You can use actual dimensions in those fields if you include the units, by the way.
In Photoshop you can scale the image using Image > Image Size... If you uncheck the "resample image" box the resolutiuon will change in inverse proportion to the size, so reducing the size will increase the resolution, but there will be no differnce in quality over scaling in ID.

Uploading Images to Picasa - they appear lighter

When I upload images from Aperture to Picasa the images on Picasa appear to be somewhat lighter than the original in Aperture. The photos on Picasa appear to be overexpoxed by about 0.5 EV.
I save my images in Aperture in RAW format. Can the conversion from RAW to JPG by Picasa be the issue?

Do the images look the same in Firefox/Camino and Safari? Except for Safari (and its close relatives Omniweb and Shiira) no other current browser on any operating system is color-managed.
In non-color-managed applications photos will look different from computer to computer. Your best bet is to present the photos in a format that is close to the average calibration of monitors. sRGB is considered to be that for Windows PCs, for Mac systems using default factory settings you would need to use a variation of sRGB that uses a gamma of 1.8 (not sure if such a variation even exists) or calibrate the monitor using a gamma of 2.2. Or best use Safari which by virtue of being color-managed takes care of these differences.
To get really consistent results you should calibrate and profile your monitor using a hardware calibration device.

Images in PS look noisy/messed up, but are fine when viewed elsewhere

I'm having a problem recently with Photoshop CS5 (Version 12.0 x64), where images look bizarrely noise-y and with wrong colors when I open them in PS. However, if I view these same images in Windows Photo Viewer or Chrome, they look fine. AND, if I save the messed-up looking images in Photoshop, then view the new files in Photo Viewer/Chrome, they appear fine, without any of the noise or errors they were just showing in Photoshop.
An update did just recently come out for my video card (AMD Radeon HD 7870) so I suspect it did something or that some settings are now wrong, but I don't know how to fix this. I have tried tinkering with Photoshop's color settings in Preferences, each time closing / re-opening PS with the images in question, but nothing has worked so far.
Here are some examples of what I mean.
Here is an image I created before, how it appears in Photo Viewer or Chrome or anything NOT Photoshop.
Here is the exact same image, how it appears on the screen when opened in Photoshop. However, the distortion on the blue text only appears visibly on-screen while in Photoshop. If I save it and open it elsewhere, it looks fine. If I copy-paste it to a new document, it still looks distorted, but saving/opening elsewhere reveals an undistorted image.
Another example. Original, proper image that I created previously:
Same image, when opened in Photoshop - lots of noise suddenly in the green and blue bars, on the axe, etc.
I did discover that if I opened one of these images and it was all distorted, if I changed the mode to 32 bits/Channel suddenly it would go back to looking normal and without distortion. But I have no desire to work in 32 bit mode, since I want to save jpegs for web use and other simple uses.
Any help would be appreciated!
