Why are my images looking oversharp/pixelated when opened in CS from LR

When I open up my images in CS from LR they look oversharp when zoomed out to view the whole image. You can see it in her hair in this image
When I zoom in closer it looks fine
Any idea how to fix this?
TIA!
Amanda

What is there to fix? When zoomed out that far, your monitor can not display all the pixels needed. If you could fix anything, it would be increasing your screen resolution assuming it is even possible. Most video cards have a hard coded limit just like the monitor has a limit. To go beyond those limits would require purchasing a new card and/or monitor.

HELP, why does saved image look too sharp when re-opened in Photoshop but normal in Windows viewer?

Been using Photoshop Elements 7 for several years and this has never happened before! I applied sharpening to an image and saved two copies: PSD and JPEG. When I re-opened the PSD file it looked WAY over-sharpened. In Photoshop Editor I then opened the JPEG and it too looked way over-sharpened. But the strange thing is that when I view the JPEG in the Windows Photo Viewer it looks normal! Just as it did when I originally saved it. I decided to try an experiment. I opened the PSD file that now appears overly sharpened and saved a new JPEG. I then opened the new JPEG in Windows Photo Viewer -- and it looks normal, even though it was saved from the PSD file that looks over-sharp! I then opened the same, newly saved JPEG in Photoshop -- and it now looks oversharp and distorted, just like the PSD file. Can anyone tell me what is going on here? I'm completely confused! Hope someone can help me figure this out. Thanks!

The over sharpening may have caused a color shift.
You might have better luck using the adjust sharpness command. Enhance<Adjust Sharpness.
Skip down to "Precisely sharpen an image" on the help page listed below for info on adjust sharpness command.

Note: You will not be able to do the manual USM segment in the above article as Photoshop Elements does not include the Apply Image Command. It does give some start settings to try out.

All my images look sepia toned when opened in photoshop

I have new laptop with Photoshop cs4. I have a Nvidia Geforce GTX 660M 2G hard drive in the lap top. The colors look great in everything but Photoshop. Everything in Photoshop has a yellowish almost sepia toned tint. I have been trying to figure out what is wrong for several day... (and several hours for several days). I understand that Photoshop color corrects, but if I have de-saturated an image why does it still look sepia in Photoshop and B&W everywhere else?

Your monitor profile is hosed. You need to calibrate your monitor, preferably with a hardware calibrator puck, and generate a fresh monitor profile.
While other applications are not color managed, Photoshop is color managed and uses your monitor profile to send the colors to your monitor through your monitor profile, which other applications ignore.

Why are .jpg files with text pixelated when projecting through Keynote?

I have a police report that I'm trying to project through Keynote as part of a larger presentation. It projects beautifully if I just mirror the screen, but for purposes of the presentation I have to use Keynote and can't switch back and forth. The text is so pixelated it's unusable and I've tried scanning at high resolution, but no luck. I'm confused about it projecting fine when not going through Keynote, so I feel like there's maybe a setting in the software I'm missing.
Any ideas?

The text is so pixelated it's unusable
The resolution of the projector will be much lower than the display connected to the Mac.
Therefore, with the projector connected and powered on, open System Preferences > Displays, in the settings window for the projector, select scaled option and set to the highest pixel size listed.
I've tried scanning at high resolution, but no luck.
You have scanned a paper document?
Then scan to at least 1200 x 800 pixels, do not use a dpi or ppi setting in the scan software, use pixels, then save as a TIFF file.
I'm confused about it projecting fine when not going through Keynote, so I feel like there's maybe a setting in the software I'm missing.
Set the slide size in: Inspector > Document > Document > Slide Size; use custom from the drop down menu and enter 1280 x 800
The inspector is the side panel on the right hand side

Why are the images in movement ok when I render as an AVI and not ok when I render as an MOV?

I need to create a video (mix of images and music) with the following settings:
Quicktime format
720x576 / 25fps (PAL standard)
Video Codec: JPEG 2000 Animation uncompressed
I created the sequence as:
DV PAL and the preview mode is as Microsoft AVI
I am rendering as MOV JPEG with maximum render quality and frame blending option checked
Not sure what is going wrong. Please help!

Is it correct to assume that you are Keyframing the Fixed Effects>Motion>Position (Pan), and possibly Motion>Scale (Zoom)?
If so, what is happening to that animation, with the MOV export?
Good luck,
Hunt

Why are forms or passwords not filled, when I imported them from Safari?

I've used the Import function to import "saved form history" from Safari, twice already, both times it says it completed the task, yet whenever I go to a site requiring passwords or forms filled out, nothing happens, & I must manually fill everything out! Why is this not working?

The form history will not include passwords. Firefox can not access the passwords from Safari so can not import them.

Sony a77 raw files look noisy/grainy when opened on cs6?

HI
i'm having problems with my images looking quite harsh when opening the raw files, this didn't happen on the trial version, i've only just got the cs6 from adobe so is there a setting i need to change?
thanks Andy

You misinterpreted me. I meant that without seeing what you're seeing it's hard to provide accurate help, and that answers would be more like "shots in the dark".
Can you please post a photograph (or small crop from one)? Perhaps even a link to a representative raw file, with which someone else could try and reproduce what you're seeing.

Help! Why do my images look overly sharp and appear to download?

I recently updated CC and now my images look overly sharp when I'm batching or working at a smaller size. When zoomed in at 50% they look fine. Is there any way to fix this? It's very difficult to work with everything looking so warped at a smaller scale. Also, when I open a file after batching and running an action it appears to "download" line by line instead of just opening. What is going on?

When I am batching multiple images and running actions, I don't want to view them at 100% they are huge files. 24 megapixels, on average 60.5M and 3925x5945 at 300 dpi. That's REALLY zoomed in. I was not having this issue with CC until I updated it and now everything looks warped at a smaller scale. I want to know why it changed and how to change it back.

Why do my images look washed out...

Why do my images look washed out after I have worked in Photoshop CS6 and saved them in Finder? I have been a Photoshop user for a while now and have never experienced this problem. It started 2 months ago and no one can seem to tell me why or how to fix it. I am a professional photographer and I have clients waiting on their images but I can't send them looking as horrible as they do. My workflow is: drag and drop an image from iPhoto or Finder to Photoshop. I change things like levels, contrast, image size and use the healing too. Then I save to Finder so I can upload to dropbox or to website or burn to a DVD. Now when I save the image the thumbnail looks washed out, without color and looks horrible!!! I don't know if my photo files are corrupted or ? If I open the image in Photoshop or Bridge it looks fine. I would be grateful for any suggestions or explanation. Things were working just fine, but not now.

Examining the image direct from the camera of the child on the beach, using http://regex.info/exif.cgi there is a small embedded thumbnail (with black bars top-and-bottom to letterbox it to the LCD aspect ratio), and a small preview probably used for zooming in on the camera LCD screen, and the fullsize jpg image all contained in the one JPG file. All three of these seem to have identical histograms other than the black-bars causing a dark peak on the thumbnail image, but otherwise the shapes of the histograms and the position of the peaks from light to dark are the same.
In other words the full-size JPG and the embedded preview and thumbnail all seem the same other than size so the darkened version seen in Finder is not coming from the camera. The one issue the above website reports is that the camera JPG has a color-profile tag (name of the profile) but does not actually contain the color profile, itself. All other versions of the image have an actual embedded profile not just the name in a tag. It is possible that this is confusing Finder into assuming a different profile or gamma curve for the image that sRGB warrants, but most all camera images have this issue so I wouldn't expect a Mac to show images from all cameras as too dark.
It is a mystery to me why the Finder preview looks darker, but at least in the one side-by-side provided, it does, and is different-looking than all other representations of the image from what I can see.
At the beginning of this thread you said you were worried the photos coming out of Photoshop were washed out and had bad colors. From my perspective, what comes out of Photoshop looks the same as what comes out of the camera, so only Finder has it wrong. Are you seeing the darker image anywhere else besides Finder (and perhaps iPhoto which we don't have a screenshot of)?
Most importantly does the image you see on screen in Photoshop, while you're making adjustments, look dark like the pre-PS Finder thumbnail or does it look lighter, like the post-PS Finder thumbnail and all the images on DropBox?
If more than just the pre-PS Finder thumbnail is darker then you may have a monitor calibration issue that needs to be addressed, otherwise just ignore the pre-PS Finder thumbnail when evaluating if the image needs any adjustments and assume they are all ligher than the Finder image.
BTW, I tested for a sRGB vs AdobeRGB mismatch, and if an sRGB image is assigned an Adobe profile then the colors become more intense but the whole image does not become darker so that can't explain what is happening.

Iphone 4s with upgrade to ios 6, why are the images I save "save photo" not in my camera roll?

I have an iphone 4s upgraded with ios 6. Why are the images I save "save photo" not in my camera roll? Where do they go?
Thx,
surfin steve

Hey, I just had this problem, I went into Settings -> Privacy-> Facebook (which is where I was saving photos from) -> turned it on, then back to settings -> Facebook-> and logged in. When I went back to Facebook and saved a photo and it saved to my camera roll. I haven't tried it with anything else yet though. Hope this helps!

Why are my images scrolling from outside the Page width?

Why are my images scrolling from outside the Page width? I am positive i has all the settings correct, to have an image parallax scroll from the edge of the page into the page and out again. But the images are flying in from the browser width - not the page width. This is not the effect I am after.
Any suggestions on how to fix this? Given the key position is only linked to the height, I can't for the life of me work out how to ensure the images start moving from a certain position onthe left and right of the page.
Thanks

I think the effect you are seeing is a result of how the lineHeight is set up. By default, the lineHeight will be calculated as 120% of the size of the largest thing on the line -- in your case, this is the inline graphic. This is designed to leave space between the line before and the line with the graphic. So it is taking the height of the graphic, multiplying by 120%, and making this the distance between the previous line and the line with the graphic. So the bigger the graphic, the bigger the space above the graphic. Normally this works well with text, but in this case you may want to get closer to "set solid". You can do this by setting the lineHeight to 100%. Or you may wish to leave a couple of percent for the descenders of the previous line. Or, another alternative that may work well for you if you really know exactly where you want the line set, you could measure the graphic, add on the number of extra pixels to leave for the descenders, and make the lineHeight a constant. So you could do something like this:
<img lineHeight="104%" height="411"/>
or this:
<img lineHeight="423" height="411"/>
Obviously you would still need to specify the source and any other parameters you want on the image.
Note that if you are trying to fit a 200 pixel high graphic into a 200 pixel high container, you will hit the same problem -- in order to fit the graphic, the container will have to be slightly bigger than the graphic in order to fit the descenders on the last line. This is true even if the last line contains only the graphic, and no descenders (or text) at all.
Hope this helps,

Because you have not coded it correctly. It is difficult for us to tell you where your mistake is without seeing your test page.
