Why are my images saving grey when they should be white?

Hi all,
I need to create a header for my blog, which I've done and uploaded it here; testertown.blogspot.com (apologies for the name, it's just to design the template before uploading)
In the Photoshop window it comes up brilliant white background, brilliant colours.
But when I upload it it's like it has a grey haze over it?
I'm using Photoshop 9, and have never had any trouble before, I got rid of the blog template I've been using to see if it's being caused by that but no luck.
I've tried uploading the image to photobucket and then inserting it like that, still the same.
I've tried using a transparent background, upping the contrast and brightness of the whole image, starting with a white background in all of the available options: CMYK, Lab, RGB.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I've created a blog header before and it's come out white, with no problems or altering..
I have downloaded fonts which I'm using as the header, but the whole image is grey, not just the font area.
Many thanks,
Jess

Mailbox Names are Black (when they should be white)

The titles of the mailboxes in Mail are showing up black when selected, when they're normally white with the graphite background color. This just barely started happening after I reboot my machine.
Pleas refer to this screenshot: http://d.pr/ma8u
Thanks for your help.

I rebooted again and it was fixed. Must have been some weird glitch.

Why are my images suddenly desaturating when opening in Photoshop?

HELP!
When I am opening images in Photoshop now they are desaturated. I can open images that are 5 years old and it does it for every one. I thought it was a Photomatix issue but realized it happens with every image in my catalog
Thanks!

"Catalog"? Are you referencing Ps Elements perhaps?

Why are DNG images saved at 240ppi?

I'm just learning to shoot in RAW. The first big problem I'm encountering is that after I manipulate my RAW image and want to save it as a DNG image, it gets saved at 240 ppi (and not at 300 ppi). How can I tell PE 6.o to save at 300 ppi?

It does not matter at what PPI the picture is saved. It could be saved at
none (defaults to 72). The pixels that are saved are important. PPI only
comes into play when printing.

Why are my images being pixelated when using free transform?

HI.
I am pretty comfortbale with PS but stil learning more of the finer details. I can't find an answer for this on any help topics or threads.
I often bring several images into a document or workflow and it seems that when I reduce an image that's too big for the canvas, it looses it's quality as soon as I break out the transform tool and becomes very pixelated. Any thoughts?
Thanks very much

Thanks for both of your suggestions. My images are at 100ppi resolution and I am viewing the documents at about 150% the entire time. My image interpolation is set for bicubit (best for smooth gradient).
I've tried to reproduce the problem in different ways before replying here and think I've narrowed it down a bit. It seems that when I use the File->Place way to insert an image into an existing document, I don't run into this pixelation or image degredation issue. It's only when I drag an image from one document to another using tabbed document introduced in CS4 (I'm using CS5 btw).
If I have document 1 open and drag an image (or layer) from document 2 into document 1, then resize that image in document 1, I get a loss of quality. Not sure if that helps anyone else. Also not sure why this is hapenning as the ability to drag layers back and forth is pretty handy and I'd rather not give it up.

Why are my images way smaller when exporting out of Aperture?

I import my photos, work on them...it's going well...but, once I export them out to put them on a external harddrive, the photos are going from approx. 3 mb at 300dpi...to about 700kb-1mb at 300 dpi.
I'm exporting them as jpeg at full size.
I didn't crop them...I can't figure it out.
Anyone has that issue?
Thanks!

In Aperture on the menu bar go to Aperture >> Presets >> Image Export >> and check/adjust the image quality for your different presets or create new ones.
Hope that helps.

Why are my deleted emails saving in my 'pictures' as a PDF adobe when they should have been in my deleted email file not saved in my pictures??????

Why are my deleted emails saving in 'my pictures' as a PDF adobe when they should have been in my deleted email file not saved
in my pictures??????

I deleted emails from my windows emails and when I went into my pictures there was all my recently deleted items as pdf adobe files and I cannot right click and delete. But why would my deleted emails be going to my pictures in the first place. So i think it must be in how the adobe program is set up and need to know how to change the settings so my deleted emails are not sent to my pictures.I do not know what other details you would require?

Why are my images grey in the .pdf?

Hi,
I began working on a 72 page project that was already begun by my co-workers who are not familiar with CS5. In InDesign, there are a total of 618 links. Hundreds of them were missing, so I spent some time re-linking the images. There are 45 images still missing, but they are on my co-workers laptop. So that is an easy fix.
The real problem is when I convert the InDesign CS5 file into a .pdf all of the images appear as grey boxes. Even the images that have been re-linked! How can I fix this? Any advice is most appreciated!

What sort of images are these? It might be a good idea to try both of the suggestions at the top of the forum page:

CS6 InDesign - Default display is high-quality. Four placed images are Illustrator files. Three images look the way they should - high-quality. One image looks pixelated. Why?

InDesign CS6 - Default display is high-quality. All four placed images are Illustrator files. Three images look the way they should - high-quality. One image looks pixelated. Why?

Not sure if this will help, but what is your inDesign file's "Transparency Blend Space" set to? It's under the edit menu.
Also, when you are placing your images, are you selecting "Show Import Options" and making any selections there?

Why are some images being exported to Assets folder?

On my desktop I have the structure of an Assets folder and within that a Images folder. When I export to HTML it puts a few of the images in the Assets folder. They are ones that are hyperlinked from a smaller image so that when they click on the smaller image the larger jpg opens in a new window. I have security on the Assets folder on the server so I don't want these to go in there. I am having to manually move them into the Images folder and then update the links in the HTML files. Is there a way to make them go into the Images folder like all the rest of the images are automatically doing when I export? By the way I don't want them to be a Lightbox slideshow. They are large images so I want them in a window so the person viewing them can move around in the browser to view the image if they have a smaller monitor.

Using Acrobat DC and the acrobat arrow tool. By right clicking on an image a submenu pops up. One of the items in that list is "Edit Image". Ordinarily or historically this would then open the image in Photoshop as a temp file. Edits could be made and saved and the image would be auto updated back into the PDF. In DC when selecting edit image, the document goes into a edit mode and the entire file gets converted into RGB color. From here one could again right click on the same image and get the option to edit using another program, (like photoshop). When returning back to document mode, the RGB conversion remains.
I determine the files are converted to RGB by using the inspector tool in Acrobat as well as looking at the colorspace in Photoshop
I determined the files were CMYK by building them that way and again verifying using Pitstop inspector.
Following screen grabs show image before / and after selecting "Edit Image"

TS2972 Why is the "Import" button grey when I'm trying to transfer music from one computer to another?

Why is the "Import" button grey when I'm trying to transfer music from one computer to another using Home Sharing?

Hi lexipuppy,
I dont know if you have your music on your other computer was on itunes, but if it was, make sure that you signed into your itunes account on your other computer. If you are signed in then your music should show up in your library.
