Why are my TIFF files saving blurry? Help!

I use CS5.1 and just recently when I go to save my edited file as a TIFF, the file is now blurry. I even tried to save a RAW file as a TIFF (with no editing) and it is still coming up blurry. Any idea why this is happening? I appreciate any advice.

If viewing in Bridge dump the cache and let it rebuild. Tools/cache/purge cache for xxx folder.

Why are multipe .eps files saving? Please Help...

When a new file is saved as eps, its automatically creating a second copy (adding an "01" to the filename.)
How do I disable this, it's aggravating I'm constantly having the delete the duplicate file. does not happen if saving as ai file.

Uncheck the "Use Artboards" option when you save the file.

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 ACR PSD files 10-20 percent larger than the same file resaved in PSD?

Why are ACR > PSD files 10-20 percent larger than the same file resaved in PSD? I posted this many years ago and never found an answer. Now that my drives fill up quicker, I thought I might chase this question a little bit further.
Same .CR2 saved within ACR either with cmd-R or open ACR within PSD, the saved file is 34.5mb. Resave that same file (no edits) within PSD either with or without Max-compatible and the file is now 30.7mb. Another file that is 24.5 becomes 19.5MB.
Why the difference? Is ACR and PSD actually using different compression strategies?
thanks.
Mac 10.8.5 / CC / ACR 8.4.1 - but this has been a consistent behavior over many years and versions, CS6 / CC.
Same .CR2 saved within ACR either with cmd-R or open ACR within PSD, the saved file is 34.5mb. Resave that same file (no edits) within PSD either with or without Max-compatible and the file is now 30.7mb. Another file that is 24.5 becomes 19.5MB.

Hi Jeff
If it is RLE it's not as efficient as LZW:
Saved ACR>PSD = 40.1MB (sample image this AM)
opened in PS and resaved as PSD = 30.8MB
resaved as TIF without LZW = 40.1MB (this adds to your thought that the ACR>PSD doesn't us any compression)
resaved as TIF/LZW = 9.6MB

??? I hope that the Adobe engineers are fussing over 10-20% efficiencies.
I'm within arms reach to a rack of 40TB of drives (doesn't include off-site drives), and all 2TB drives are being recycled to 4TB drives, as a result the rack is always growing. Actually the ACR>PSD files don't really make a difference in our long term storage, only for the nightly backups. But anyway, how you save, what you save etc. should all be part of the discussion.
.... so in my case, throw in an excess MB here and there and all of a sudden you are talking TB's. Plus advantages in backup times, drive life, and energy use.
Somebody added compression into the PS>PSD format, but it wasn't included in the ACR>PSD format, was it a decision or an oversight? If it's just a matter of making ACR compatible with PS when saving the same PSD format..... then why not?

Why are my exported files not going to me email? I have used 3 different ones.

For the Receipts app I chose to export the info as a PDF file..an email was requested..I entered info and clicked send. For the Business Card app I chose Send, not Print..an email was requested..I entered info and clicked send. I haven't received anything, not even in my spam folder.

Why are colors faded when saving from Photoshop? And other weird things...

I'm working on a file that's a CMYK default US Web Coated SWOP v2 file. I've tried saving to tiff and jpg from this file and both save faded versions. See below:
Here's how it looks in PS:
And as a jpg:
And then another very bizarre thing... I saved it as a pdf to see how the colors would look and when viewing it in acrobat pro, I saw this:
....this is the same exact file as the other 2... Nothing was changed other than saving as pdf... Now I have 2 questions!
Thanks for your help and expertise,
Sarah

If you're not having you images printed professionally in publications why are you editing in CMYK. Displays and inkjet devices are RGB devices CMYK images need be converted when used on these devices. If in every step color management is used and all devices calibrated well colors should be quit consistent however color management is not always used and colors will be off when color management is not done. Photoshop is color managed is photoshop the only software you're using for your images. No Image viewers, no browsers, no document application etc.
Also when I save the above image you state is a jpeg Its save as an png file with some Display color profile. You need yo look into color management and what you useing as your color setting in Photoshop and hd.ow progile mismatches are handle.
In fact all three image are png file Color mode is RGB 8bit all have a display color profile all are different in sizes and at least one has different content. All are different yet you claim they are the same.

Don't want new tiff files saved in my catologue if I'm only using the image for a composite.

When editing in Photoshop CS4 from LR3, the new tif will not appear in the catalogue unless I save it in PS. In LR4 it saves a new tiff in my catalogue regardless if I save the edited image in PS or not. I have a cloud library I use often and do not want new files saved in my LR catologue if I'm only using the opened image for compositing. Can anyone help me figure out how to change the workflow to be like LR3?

i think adobe should support new cameras for older CS versions too.
in the end PS is expensive enough to justifie a better support.
How far back would you go? One version? Three? Where should the line be drawn? Adobe draws the line at the currently shipping version...it's now CS5 and shortly it will be CS6.
Even if Adobe were to do this, you do realize that trying to put new plug-ins into older software is really tough. For example on the Mac, Photoshop CS5 requires that the plug-in be written in Apple's Cocoa API. Camera Raw 5 required a major update to be able to run in Cocoa...retrofitting Camera Raw 5 to run in a PPC platform (supported by CS3/CS4 but not supported by CS5) would be difficult–a lot of work for zero return. As a result of the engineering challenges of backwards compatibility Adobe has the policy of only updating currently shipping software to current customers. Truth be told, if you don't have the most recent version, you are not a current customer...you are a former customer. Having Adobe spend R&D engineering backwards compatibility to support former customers would take resources away from supporting current customers. As a current customer, I wouldn't like that.
But it's all a moot point because I don't see any evidence that Adobe is going to change this policy for backwards compatibility. In fact, going forward, Adobe is already announced the change to Photoshop upgrade rules allowing only the most recent version to be upgraded to the new version. Because of the reaction that only CS5/5.5 could upgrade to CS6, Adobe blinked and now has given a grace period till the end of 2012 for CS3 & CS4 users to upgrade to CS6.
Again many people don't like this, but as a pro user of Photoshop, I always upgrade anyway so it has no impact on me. Yes, it will bite some people and I can have sympathy, but again, you always have the free DNG Converter to use in the case you need new camera support. And hey, the new cameras come with software to process their raw files, right?

Why have my tiff files on my external hard drive been converted to CR2 files?

I've been using Lightroom 3 with an external hard drive for a few years now with no problems.
I shoot raw with my Canon t1i and jpg with my Canon SX-10.
Just last week I hooked up my external hard drive and Lightroom wouldn't connect to it. Usually when I hook it up, Lightroom opens up automatically. At least it use to.
I looked at the drive and it seems the tiff files are now called CR2 (Canon Raw I think). Any idea why this happened and is there a way to get them back to where Lightroom will recognize them?
I can open them in Photoshop, but not Lightroom. I usually go first to Lightroom, then to Photoshop and back. Can't do it know though.
Thanks for any help.

The TIF files may come from when you do a round-trip to PS and you either create a temporary TIF file on the way into LR, the default is to have –Edit.tif as the last part, or when you’re in PS and save any additional edits back to a TIF file. This LR-PS-LR processing may have created many TIF files that have the same base name as the underlying CR2. Both the CR2 and TIF files would have been visible in LR so maybe you’re remembering one extension more than the other.
The files you originally imported into LR would have been the CR2 files. What has happened to their location in the time between you originally imported them and now when you’re trying to hook things back up? If they’ve always been on the external drive then maybe the only thing wrong is that the drive letter has changed, but if you moved the files from their original location on the local drive to their archive location on the external drive, then did the folder-path to the photos stay the same, at least most of the path?
The way you normally fix things if the drive letter has changed or if the path has changed only a little, is you locate the file in LR’s folder structure, then right-click on the folder at the lift and choose Update Folder Location, then click over to the place on the external drive where that folder is, now, and click Ok. LR will hook up all the moved photos in that folder. The higher up in the hierarchy you locate the missing folder, the more folders underneath will automatically get updated. If you give us some information about the specific locations of the folders in LR when on the local drive and on the external drive, then we can give more specific advice what to do.

Why are my photoshop files distorted and not the tifs?

Hi,
I've been importing tifs and photoshop files into my FCE project, and here's my problem. When I view the .psd file in my canvas viewer the still is squeezed and does not fill the entire frame with white background above and below the still. I then import the same file but resaved as a tif and it appears in the canvas frame in the correct aspect ratio. What is going on? (The image properties are 1920x1080 aspect ratio: square) This happens with all the .psd files that are imported into my FCE project. All imported tifs appear correctly.
Other info: I have started with a baseline photoshop template that is 1920x1080, aspect ratio: square. I saved the images either as a .psd file with one layer or tif with one layer. The reason for the .psd file is that I need to have some areas of transparency in my FCE project (I have overlays). Which leads to another question: If I need transparency within the still in FCE, can I save the file as a tif with "save transparency" box ticked on?
Thanks for any info!

when saving as a png should interlaced be set to none?
Also regarding the tif images...I had been saving them, as a copy and under tiff options:
image compression: none
pixel order: interleaved
layer compression: discard layers and save a copy
I assumed that this tiff file would be one layer. Am I incorrect?
And I did a test save with "save transparency" ticked on and imported the image into FCE. It appears that the transparency is there when I view the still in the canvas window. Can I do it this way? Are there disadvantages/advantages to using png files rather than tiffs?
Thanks!

Why are my desktop files not showing on the desktop

Why are the files in my desktop folder not showing on my desktop?

An add-on can put its icon on the bar automatically if it likes, but some add-ons do one of the following:
* Add an item to the Tools menu
* Add an item to the right-click menu (depending on the context)
* Put a button in the button palette so you can add it to a toolbar if you like (''to call up the button palette, use'' View > Toolbars > Customize ''or right-click a blank area after the address box on the Navigation Toolbar and choose Customize from the pop-up menu'')
Also, you might want to double-check that the add-on is enabled.
Tools > Add-ons > Extensions
If you have the orange Firefox button, it's Firefox > Add-ons > Extensions
Does that help? (If you have problems with a particular extension, you could mention which one it is for more specific comments.)

Why are some PDF files created in Photoshop not placing in InDesign CS5?

We are publishers and have used InDesign for over 9 years to create 36+ magazine issues per year. We are currently using CS5 on 8 MAC stations using OS X Vers 10.8.5. We are experiencing difficulty placing some supplied PDF files into InDesign documents lately. We get the following error message when placing the offending PDF file: "FAILED TO OPEN PDF FILE"
This is a new error message that has cropped up the last two months or so. In Acrobat, the file will pre-flight without errors. The files giving us the errors can be converted to Photoshop PSD, EPS or TIFF files and will place just fine. Photoshop PDF files, however, will result in the error.
Can anyone give me an idea what might be causing this issue? Thanks in advance!

Try showing options when placing. Sounds like something in the PDF is not compatible with the last settings you used.
Most likely the crop options.

Why are my ".pdf" files not opening in Creative Cloud? The tumbril shows up as a blank page!

I just switched over from Adobe Acrobat Cloud to Creative Cloud; a tedious task. Most of my files open up fine, but some of them show up as a blank page thumb nail. They do have ".pdf" extension. Any ideas as to why this is happening, and what I can do to correct the issue?
Ty

@masood131 - A few questions:
Are the pdf files without a thumbnail password protected? (Probably not but just checking since we will not be able to provide a preview for such a file).
If you click on the blank thumbnail to view the individual file page do you see a larger preview image, or is that blank too?
If you refresh the browser page does the thumbnail image show?
If you upload the file a second time do you see a thumbnail image?
If there is a problem with a specific file feel free to share a link with me via a private message and I can investigate further.

Why are all jar files not compressed in the JRE installer?

I used 7zip to unpack jre-6u12-windows-i586-p.exe (Oracle JRE Installer). On unpacking, I got a core.zip, a zipper.exe and a few other files.
Again on exploding core.zip I found a few things. core.zip contains all the jar files just like it would be after installation except for 7 jar files.
charsets.jar
deploy.jar
javaws.jar
jsse.jar
localedata.jar
plugin.jar
rt.jar
Instead of these jar files there exists the corresponding packfiles
charsets.pack
deploy.pack
javaws.pack
jsse.pack
localedata.pack
plugin.pack
rt.pack
I think these are files created by pack200.exe & unpack200.exe is run on them after installation to create the corresponding jar files.
So now I have a few questions
Why are only these 7 files run through pack200.exe. I assume its because they are bigger than other files. But it wouldn't take that much effort to pack all jar files & unpack them after installation.
The .pack extension suggests that these are packed but not gzipped. Again why would Oracle not do a gzip also? for eg with rt.jar packing reduces size from 45 MB to 12 MB, while adding gzip also reduces it to 6 MB.
Edited by: 966944 on Oct 22, 2012 8:19 AM

Whatever the truth of all this may be, you won't find it here. This is a user to user forum, not Oracle support or a channel to the developers. All you will get here at best is valid post hoc reasoning: at worst, guesswork. And if you're trying to bring this issue to Oracle's attention, again this isn't the place to do it. Locking the thread.

Why Are My Cache Files & Other "Hidden" Files/Folders Visible? & How Do I Get Rid Of Them?

I hid mach_kernel and private, but the cache.db, cache.db-shm, cache.db-wal of both the system and user folder are, also, visible. Yesterday, I had to restore from a Time Machine backup because something had suddenly eaten all the space on my startup drive. However, these files were visible prior to the restore. So, why are they there and how do I safely dispose of them or hide them to prevent their return to visibility? Thanks.
