When saving out transparent web pngs, they are showing up 'dirty' in other applications (like Gimp). Help?

I've linked one of the images in question; a 16x16 px icon for a settings page we're using. When this image is opened in another program (Gimp, in this case- the dev team does not have Photoshop), they are finding 'dirty pixels'. Specifically, if you are looking at the image, just above the base row of blue, where it should be white, it's showing up as a 10% transparent blue row all the way across. This does not appear in Photoshop, nor can I remove this area by deleting, etc.
I assume the issue is either how it's being saved out, in which case, is there a best way of saving out small transparent web images? Or, the issue is with Gimp (which I would be happy with), I am just not familiar with the application to know. Or, I am just creating the images wrong.
Thanks!

This what i see in gimp
Maybe this is what they talking about, that there is some blue areas that should not be there, yet are after filling in the alpha channel (transparency channel in photoshop)
Same as doing Layer>Layer Mask>From Transparency in photoshop.
Upon opening in gimp
After filling in the alpha (transparency) channel
Which version of photoshop and operating system did you use?
When i tried several different variations in photoshop cc 2014.1, i always had visible pixels that shouldn't have been there after saving as a png
Doing the same in photoshop 6 yielded the expected results of what was there before, was there after saving and no more.

  • Disappearing color profile when saved for the Web

    Hello.
    I have a problem with the “Save for the Web” results using Photoshop CS6 running on Win 7 x64.
    My photos are already in 8 bits and in sRGB and when I save for the Web I check the option “embed color profile”, uncheck “convert to sRGB”, metadata to “copyright and contact info”.
    When I open the resulting photos in Photoshop, everything is fine as it recognizes the embedded color profile. Same thing when I open these files in Firefox, Safari or Chrome: the colors are correct.
    Now, when I right-click on a file in the Win Explorer and look its properties, the line about the color profile is blank, as if there wasn't any. This doesn't bother me but the problem appears on my Website created with Joomla and using for the display a module, Responsive Image Gallery, which creates resized copies of the photos. At this point the copies have completely lost their color profile. I entered in contact with the module's support and they assured me that it preserves the embedded profile, so I come here to gather some information about how this “Save for the Web” embeds the color profile because may be I just didn't understand how it does and if it's different from the “Save as” way.
    The fact I can't see the profile through the Win Explorer makes me think Joomla's module doesn't either.

    Incredible how much gballard's site is famous! Lol. I use it for a while now and checked again right now with the three Web browsers and everything is all right.
    As indicated in my first post, when saving for the Web I checked the “embed color profile” option. I already resized the file and converted it in sRGB first in Photoshop.
    Yes it's pretty confusing to see some software not able to see the color profile when the file is saved with that option.
    To illustrate, here are three screenshots from Windows' file browser => right-ckick on the file => properties => details:
    Opening that “saved for the Web” file in PS, it's ok, the CP is recognized.
    Opening it directly (from the file browser => “open with”) in Web browsers: ok in Firefox, Safari and Chrome (CP recognized in all).
    Copying that file in my working site on localhost (no modification), integer it in Joomla's module gallery (which is CP aware) and then opening my site on localhost with Web browsers: ok in Firefox (because it considers a non-tagged file by default as beeing sRGB), NOT OK in Safari neither in Chrome.
    Now, if I do the same with the “Save as” version of the file with embedded sRGB CP:
    PS: ok
    Opened directly in Web browsers: ok in the three cases
    Opened in Web browsers through my Joomla site on localhost: OK IN ALL THREE BROWSERS
    Good point gator_soup: I'll post a bug report. I'm new here on the forum and thought Adobe's staff would post here.

  • Why are my photos and videos syncing sideways in my computer? When I email or sync photos they are sideways.  I've called apple and they are no help.  I can fix the pictures, but the videos are a different story.  Please help.  I have an HP comp Win 7

    My pictures and videos are shown correctly in my phone and when I play videos in itunes they are upright, but the location they are saved on my computer they are side ways.  There has got to be a setting somewhere to fix this.  Please help.

    Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
    It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
    1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
    2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
    I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
    I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
    Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
    If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
    If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
    1. Right click images you want to share.
    2. Select Export version.
    3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
    4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
    This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
    See how you go.

    You aren't running iOS if you are using iPhoto, or a Classic operating system.  Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac and find out what you really are running, and then use this link to post in the right place:

  • I have given up on my dell and bought an iMac 27"... Now how do I transfer my dell iTunes playlists from my dell to my iMac, as they are showing on the iMac when I plug in my iPod but it's not allowing to me to play them as they are shaded?

    I have given up on my dell and bought an iMac 27"... Now how do I transfer my dell iTunes playlists from my dell to my iMac, as they are showing on the iMac when I plug in my iPod but it's not allowing to me to play them as they are shaded? I have also separately transferred all my music via my external drive from my dell to my iMac which is showing in iTunes but won't upload to my iPod... Just to confuse you even more my AppleTV which is linked to my log in email address and home sharing is showing and playing all the playlists I want to see on my iMac... Phew that was exhausting hope you understand and can help me:-)

    You may have transferred all your songs, but your iPad is seeing the library as a different entity.

  • I have several users in an exchange environment who cannot email a photo from the iPhone.  When the click on Email Photo, they are prompted to configure a mail account even though there is already an exchange account in place.  How do I remediate this?

    I have several users in an exchange environment who cannot email a photo from the iPhone.  When the click on Email Photo, they are prompted to configure a mail account even though there is already an exchange account in place.  How do I remediate this?  Not all of the users in our environment have this issue.  If the users having this issue, install a secondary email account, Gmail, Hotmail, etc, then they can send through those accounts.  Why would the exchange account not be seen to send photos?

    Sounds like it worked until the policies associated with the account that are creating the problem were fully pushed down.
    Try setting up a new (test) Exhange account and see if it behaves the same way on the phone (after removing the problem account from the phone, of course).

    How do I keep emails from being deleted on my iPhone 6? Emails get deleted from phone when I startup desktop computer and they are downloaded from sever. Is POP3 no longer supported on IOS 8.1?

    Have you seen this?
    Using a POP account with more than one device - Apple Support
    A better solution is if your email provider uses IMAP. IMAP sync email folders between multiple devices. Meaning any device will receive the email, all sent email can be seen on the devices. If you delete email from one device the email is deleted from all the other devices. Check with your email provider to see if they offer IMAP services.
    If they do not your choices are to 1) configure email on the PC to keep Mail on the mail server or 2) change email providers to something like Gmail or Outlook.com (as examples). FWIW I use Cox IMAP email and fully sync email between a Win 8.1 Update 1 laptop, a Win 7 desktop, an iPad 4, an iPhone 4 and an iPhone 5S.

    It's not clear from your post, but you do realise
    that if you import a cd as a compilation, it will not
    appear under artists? This is done to save the iPod
    being cluttered up with single artists entries who
    might have only one song listed.
    I wasn't aware of that. It's true that I haven't been using the "compilation" tag for a long time. I've only started using it with iTunes 7 as otherwise with Coverflow I would have one album cover for each artist in a compilation. Before that my compilations weren't tagged as such as that is quite probably why each artist from compilations showed up when browsing by artists.

    note - i wiped my ipod before this issue occurred, does this affect the problem?

    I would start with

    Because you set both of them up using the same Apple ID for the iCloud account. Don't do that. You should each have your own iCloud account, even if you want to share an Apple ID for apps and music. Odds are, you are both receiving iMessages intended for the other as well.

    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

    It is possible your sequence settings do not match your source material. In the Project Pane, drag one of your source clips to the New Item icon at the bottom right, and release the mouse. That will create a new sequence that matches the properties of the source clip. See if that helps. If so, edit in the new sequence.

  • I have added photos to a portfolio website I'm building and a lot of them look VERY grainy when you click on them. They are nice clean large files and can print bat high res way over 16" x 20" so whats happened to them in iWeb?

    When you are dealing with websites, image file size is a trade off between quality and download speed. There's not a lot of point to having high quality images if they take too long to download in the browser.
    Nowadays we also have to consider the device that the end user is viewing the images on. An image that is optimized for viewing on a large screen is total overkill and unsuitable for those using mobile devices.
    Really we should be supplying different versions of media files for different devices using @media rules in the stylesheet but this is rather outside of the scope of iWeb. If you use the built in image optimizer and the iWeb Photo template with slideshow, the application will optimize the images according to the way in which you set this function in preferences and the slideshow size will be automatically reduced for those viewing it on smaller screens.
    If you want to give your viewers the opportunity to view large, high quality images, you can supply them as a download.

    Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
