Why are my images so washed out in pages compared to how they look in Photoshop?

I am new to Pages. I have some beautiful .jpeg CMYK files I am importing into a Pages template, and they look completely washed out in pages compared to how they look in Photoshop. Is this just a preview mode or will they look this bad if I print the file at a print on demand site like HP Magcloud?
Thanks!

Hmmmmm...
Well, I'm not sure about what my color management is set to in photoshop, but its color LCD for the mac in system preferences. As the printer is a print on demand site its not so easy to run tests. The thing is, they want the images as a PDF, but I am loosing quality pringing it into pages, would it be different if i created the PDF directly from photoshop (is that even possible?)
paper options are:
60#, 80# or 100# matte text stock options with Saddle Stitch Binding
80# premium cover stock, 80# matte text stock with Perfect Binding
the site says this:
If you are creating your PDF in a different program like Microsoft Word or Publisher, or Apple Pages, you’ll want to save your images based on whether they were CMYK or RGB to begin with. If they were CMYK to begin with, they should be saved as CMYK. If they were RGB to begin with, saving them with an sRGB colorspace will give you the best output.
I already changed them in photoshop from RGB to CMYK, is it too late to change back? where is the sRGB option anyway?
Thanks,
O

  • 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,

  • Why do my images appear washed out when I use Save for Web?

    Q: The color/brightness/tone of my image changes when I use
    Save for Web. Why?
    A: Photoshop is a color-managed application. The Web is not. Normally, when you view an image in
    Save for Web or
    ImageReady you are viewing it without color management and see it how it will appear when uploaded to the Web.
    To minimize changes, Convert your image to sRGB (i.e from
    Edit menu choose
    Convert to Profile )before using
    Save for Web. You should also make sure that
    Save for Web has been configured so that images are displayed using the document color profile (see attached screenshot for guidance).
    You should also ensure that your monitor properly calibrated and the gamma is set to 2.2.

    Same here. Didn't get any good New Years Eve photos indoors.

  • Why are my images positioned further down the page as size increases?

    Hello,
    I'm experiencing a problem with images that I'm a little baffled about.
    My image tag is listed as below and comes below text in other plain paragraph tags.
    <p><img id="p_image" height="411 width=312 source={src} styleName="image"/></p>
    The image is not appearing.  If I decrease the height to 50 it appears (obviously skewed though) and is positioned below the text.
    If I increase the height to 300 it appears but now the top of the image is further below the text.
    If I set the height to 411 it doesn't appear I assume because the combination of the image height as well as the increased space between the top of the image and the preceding paragraph puts it off the page.
    Why does the space below the paragraph increase as the image height increases?
    Images attached.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks, peter

  • In iTunes under my device, under the apps tab, Why are all the options shaded out?  I cannot make any changes, select any apps or do anything with the apps.  I was able to load a few apps and sync but cannot sync anymore to my phone.

    Hi,
    ( I search for iChat questions when I have finished in the iChat Forum)
    So the menu bar reads iChat, File,  Edit,  View, Buddies, Video, Window and Help
    There is no Buddy List open.
    There is no other window for iChat open.
    In the iChat Menu you only have access to Status.
    Is an item ticked in the list ?
    Is this a green (Available item) or  Red ( an Away one) ?
    Can you access the Accounts option ?  (Sitll in the iChat Menu)
    Is anything in here ticked ?
    In the Window menu any Logged in account should appear in the list  (Between the Next Chat and File Transfer items)
    It would be useful to know which version of iChat this is.
    If no account is ticked (iChat Menu > Accounts) or not showing in the Window Menu, plus you cannot determine the Status and you cannot access the Preferences then you need to access your Home Folder/Library/Preferences
    As the Library in the Home Holder is Invisible in Lion you will need the Finder's Go Menu > Go to Folder option  (you can use it in earlier OS versions if you want)
    Type in:-
    ~/Library/Preferences
    Find the file called com.apple.ichat.plist
    Drag it to the Trash and Restart iChat.
    This will lose all the settings in iChat that you have changed from Defaults but there is no way around this.

  • Are all Week 39s washed out?

    I have a week 39 from Costco that has very washed out blacks when compared to my iPhone. Is this normal on the Touch? Does anyone have a Touch where the black background on the home screen looks truly black even with the brightness all the way up. My iPhone does, my touch doesn't. I think Costco may be getting back the Touch and I may have to live with only 4GB on my iPhone for now.

    NO DONT RETURN IT
    all of the ipod touches have fairly poor blacks do to its construction
    let me reiterate what i wrote on another persons thread ALSO wondering if the light blacks is a common problem
    "haha if uve read my posts, this is perfectly normal
    theres nothing u can do on it. The screens on the ipod touch and the iphone are solded differently (ive taken notice on those sites that take ipods apart), so it creates a completely different viewing experience. The ipod touch's screen is completely washed out with backlight while the iphone evenly spreads out its backlight. I have concluded that i should just live with that fact, and i think you should too.

  • Why are my apps kicking me out

    Why are my applications kicking me out and sending back to the home screen? Also, my battery dies much faster than normal

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • Why are my tags deleted when I replace pages?

    Why are my tags deleted when I replace pages?

    Hi Stephanie,
    My suggested workaround: In Acrobat Pro, in the Page Thumbnails pane, select the pages that you want to replace then right click and select "Delete pages". Then, right-click the page just ahead of where the replacement pages will go, select "Insert pages", and follow the prompts. This is just the way I do it, not the only way.
    Tiger26 is making the excellent suggestion that, prior to inserting pages, encapsulate the tags for the pages to be inserted using a Section tag. This makes the post-insertion chore of dragging the tags to their proper place in the tag structure easier.

  • Why are my images coming out of CS5 Photoshop granulated and pixelated after saving?

    I am new to CS5 Design Premium. I use a Canon 50D and shoot in RAW format. I upload my pictures into Bridge and do most of my editing in Camera Raw, then I open the object into Photoshop where I save the image into a folder. I save each image as a .psd file AND a .jpg file. I save an extra as a .jpg so I can upload to my website and to order from the lab I use.
    My question is: Why is it that my pictures are so granulated when I open them back up? They look completely fine on the screen but when I re-open them or upload them to my site, they look terrible. Have I messed up something with the formating/file size/ppi...? 8-bit, 16-bit? PPI...?
    I am confused here and highly discouraged from using my new program....HELP PLEASE!!

    Are you seeing this problem, when you Import those PSD's into a Premiere Pro Project, or in Photoshop?
    If the former, have you done the Scaling to match the Frame Size of Sequence in PrPro? If not, this ARTICLE will be helpful. Note: in Video, DPI/PPI is meaningless, and only pixel x pixel dimensions matter.
    If the latter, you will want to post to the Photoshop Forum.
    Good luck,

  • Images appear washed out.

    Firefox isn't displaying images correctly. They are appearing extremely washed out. These images are local to my computer and ImageMagic & GIMP can display them properly.

    Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    This can be caused by a problem with the color profile for your display monitor or color profiles embedded in images.<br />
    Try to disable color management to test if it is caused by a problem with color management.<br />
    You can set the gfx.color_management.mode pref to 0 on the about:config page to disable Color Management.<br />
    You need to close and restart Firefox to make the change effective.

  • Why are my images only showing as links on websites?

    Why are almost all of my images showing up as a link to the image. I put a code in right for embedded images but when i refresh or re-visit the page with the embedded image it is no longer embedded. It shows up as a link to the image which is quite annoying. I have followed everything here http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Images+or+animations+do+not+show but none of it applies to me. I have reinstalled and checked everything in that website page.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Unknown, but I did not make changes to firefox.

    The code for all of the images in that thread is this:
