Why do fonts looks different between Photoshop and devexpress winform

Hi,
I am creating a mock ups in PSD using font Verdana 10
when the developers using the same font on DevExpress win-forms the results looks extreme different.
can you help me understand why this is happening?
Thanks a lot,
Anat

The glyphs are described by mathematical functions, there is no ambiguity if it is the same font.
If the text is immediately embedded as a raster graphic (opposed to keeping text as vector in
an exported PDF), then it is impossible to represent the accurate shape by only few pixels
(10pt, 72ppi: very few pixels; 10pt, 288ppi; four times more in both directions).
Therefore Photoshop can apply anti-aliasing: None, Sharp, Crisp, Strong, Smooth. The names
don't say much, but the appearance is different. You may try which mode is your best choice.

  • Image looks different in Photoshop and Lightroom

    I started a forum on flickr and I have some issues with my images.  I have  calibrated monitor but my images look off online even though I saved them as sRGB.  Now my image looks one way in PS and then when I finish editing it and save it, I import it into lightroom and it looks different.
    Same image, but it looks different.

    The image on the left in PS looks the same in Picasa Image
    Viewer (I selected it to be color managed based on the monitor profile), looks the same in Windows Image Viewer, and looks the same in the thumbnail.  The image on the right in LR is how the picture looks when I look at my image in Firefox but in Internet Explorer and in Chrome, the image looks like the image on the left in PS.  The image below shows how the thumbnail looks different from the actual picture when it's double clicked and viewed in Picasa.  The thumbnail (which shows the subjects having green skin) would be how I saw it online while the double clicked version is how I saw it in PS, even though it was sRGB (I checked the image properties to make sure of the color space).
    I have a ATI 5470 GPU on my ASUS 17.3 inch laptop.  Not sure about the drivers.

  • Why does the display look different in photoshop and lightroom

    I am using CS4 and LR2.1. When I open the same picture in both programs the picture in CS4 looks dull and washed out. My color space in both programs is srgb (I send all my pictures to Miller's for printing). Any Idea why and what setting I should adjust.
    Thank you in advance for your help,

    Your color settings are not the same, or something is broken with your display profile that one application is trying to fix up (but that should give you a warning).

  • Partition Table Looks Different Between OSX and Windows 7

    Hey all,
    I recently replaced the hard drive on my 2007 iMac, going from the 320GB drive to a 1 TB drive. It actually worked! The previous drive was failing in very odd ways, though booting into the Windows side (more on dual boot later) always seemed to work, and S.M.A.R.T. always reported that the physical drive seemed OK.
    The previous drive (320 GB) had around 200GB devoted to OSX and 100GB partitioned off for a working Windows 7 installation (custom installed x64 Win7 Ultimate). I had the Windows system image backed up to my NAS, and had a Windows system bootable disc to restore that image.
    After replacing the drive (and almost crying that I had actually done it right), I first restored OSX from a Time Machine backup, and let it take the full 1TB of space as Journalled HFS+. Then, I used Disk Utility to shrink OSX down to 500GB, and created a second partition (formatted to NTFS) with the remaining 500GB.
    Now, restoring a Windows system image is an odd thing, as it tries to do a lot of partition work as opposed to simply restoring the Windows install to a partition. I tried Macrium Reflect first (made a backup in that, too), and it looked like it was going to let me restore to the second partition. It completed the restore...and the entire hard drive was hosed. Partitions had been moved, renamed, resized, and nothing was bootable. I had to use Recovery from an external USB thumb drive to go back to the single, full-drive install of OSX.
    Then I tried again. Made the second NTFS partition and used the basic Windows System Restore disk to restore from the standard system image I had on the NAS. I was not expecting this to work. But it did. Windows started showing up in Startup Manager when "option" was pressed on bootup, and both OSX and Windows booted properly and ran fine. This is where I (finally) get to the supreme oddities:
    OSX Disk Utility still reports two 500GB partitions, one for OSX and one for Windows.
    In OSX the Windows partition shows as having NO DATA on it. Not sure what would happen if I tried to write a file to it when mounted, but there is no data on it when viewed from OSX (I was always able to see the Windows files when I mounted that partition on the previous drive).
    The Windows partition does not show up as a valid bootable system in System Prefs --> Startup Disk (naturally, I suppose, since OSX doesn't think there is anything there).
    From the WINDOWS side, Windows still sees the old partition table: 200GB for the "unknown" HFS partition, and then the rest of the space can be devoted to Windows (started as 100GB, but I was ablt to expand it to use the remaining ~750GB!).  Windows thinks it can have 750GB of space even though I know its partition is only 500GB in size!
    Windows cannot see the OSX HFS partition data using HFSExplorer. It CAN see the HFS partition on the attached backup drive (the drive I use for Time Machine).
    GParted (a partition program on a Linux bootabld CD-ROM) shows the same partitions as OSX Disk Utility (2x500GB), and also thinks the Windows NTFS partition is empty (all space reports as "unused").
    Did I mention both OSX and Windows work fine???
    There are, of course, two other partitions on the drive: the first partition is the 200MB one I always see (EFI/GUID portion?), and then between the HFS and NTFS partitions is the 600MB recovery partition (which also shows at option-pressed boot time). OSX, GParted, and Windows see all four partitions, and in the same order. It is just that Windows sees the wrong sizes, and OSX cannot see any data in the Windows partition.
    Surely this is all going to break spectacularly at some point, isn't it? What if I ever did write a file to the Windows side from OSX, or what if OSX starts taking more space than the 200GB Windows thinks is the max for that partition? What if I try to make Windows use more than 500GB because it thinks it has almost 800GB to use? What if I defrag the Windows drive?
    I had no idea a partition table could look this goofy and yet still have everything be bootable and workable. Is there something I can do to get everything in sync? Basically, I am assuming I need to get Windows to do some low-level kung fu in Disk Manager in order to properly get everything lined up with the "right" partitions as reported by both GParted and OSX Disk Utility. But how do I do that?
    By the way, any ideas that totally nuke the drive and start from scratch are completely fine (if it seems like they are doing something different enough that I'd give it a try). I have good backups of both OSX and Windows and have restored them about a half dozen times already as I dealt with the previous failing hard drive and with trying to get dual-boot working again. Not to mention, this iMac is now my secondary machine to the new Mac Mini I got a couple weeks back when I wasn't sure how much more life I was going to get from this 6+ year old iMac.
    Thanks for listening to me ramble about this very odd issue, and a huge THANK YOU in advance to anyone who has ideas to help.
    Thanks,
    sutekh138

    Update:
    I am pretty sure the issue is a simple GPT/MBR discrepancy.
    I installed rEFIt and used it's partitioning tool (gptsync built in) upon bootup. It was able to show the GPT table and the MBR table, but it thinks the second partition of the drive (the Mac OSX bootable partition) is "extended" in the MBR table and says "will not touch this disk."
    However, it does look like an MBR sync should be straightforward, as there four partitions in the GPT table and four in the MBR (and MBR allows a max of four, AFAIK). I just need gptsync to relax some rules. I found a link to a supposedly newer version of gptsync compiled for OSX, so I will try that later.
    First, I will try Partition Wizard, a free tool I found for the Windows side. It has a "Repair MBR" option that I would have tried last night if I weren't running a new Windows Image Backup in case all of this goes haywire.  *smile*  The PW tool also has an option to change the MBR over to GPT entirely. That might work, but then I am not sure Windows 7 will boot (from what I read, x64 Win7 running on EFI-enabled hardware should work, but who knows).
    Anyway, I will try the following things, in order, until something works, when I get home tonight:
    From Windows, run Partition Wizard and try "Repair MBR".
    From OSX, download recent gptsync and try to run it.
    From Windows, use Partition Wizard to do a full MBR --> GPT conversion.
    Nuke the Windows partition in OSX Disk Utility, expand the HFS partition to take up the whole drive, and then add a Windows-bootable partition via Boot Camp-ish command line commands (diskutil). Because if nothing else works, I have to assume I just created the partitions wrong in the first place such that a Windows restore miraculously works, but the partition weirdness is just a timebomb waiting to happen.
    Finally, if none of the above work, I'll just get things back to the way they now work and wait for the timebomb to (possibly never) go off.  *smile*
    I'll update this thread if I get something figured out, in case anyone else stumbles upon it...
    Thanks,

  • Why my raw looks different in lightroom and camera's raw processing software

    Hi, I am using a Sony A-100 and just start using Lightroom to process my raw file. I quite like lightroom's interface and its workflow, however, a a problem disturbing me is the image look quite different in sony's raw processing software and in lightroom (just import without any editing). In sony's software, the WB and exposure is correct and I don't need to adjust so much. But in lightroom, the color always looks warm and image is underexposure.
    Is it a common problem or it is just a special case as to sony's dslr camera.

    The main reason is that each different software is interpreting image and color data in its own way due, I guess, to different processing methods.
    In that way, digital is not different than film : no film render colors and contrast the same way.
    You have to choose what fits the best for you.
    As an example, I think ACR / LR handle Canon files pretty well ( quite close to Canon's propietary raw converter - neutral settings - ). On the other hand, Nikon owners have more troubles and seem to prefer Capture 4 or NX renderings.

  • Why are kuler colors different to Photoshop and Illustrator?

    When I make some colours in kuler, I get RGB and CMYK numbers for them.
    When I enter the RGB into Photoshop I get different CMYK values.
    When I enter the CMYK into Illustrator, I get different RBG values.
    Which do I believe??
    I guess that this must be something to do with colour profiles. Can anyone advise please?
    Thanks
    P.S. I did ask this before in the kuler forum but that forum is very quiet .

    Thank you.
    I'm 'happy' with the idea of colour spaces. But does anyone know what colour space kuler is working to when it translates rgb - cmyk? I can't seem to see that anywhere, or how to change it.
    If you can't change it, it's worthless! You have to specify both the RGB color space and CMYK color space only after which you get the CMYK values you need. Alter either description and you'll end up with different values.

  • Why do fonts look different in PDFs?

    When I save a Microsoft office document (Word, PowerPoint, Excel), one font does not appear correctly in the PDF. What do I do?

    You use Microsoft Office programs to save the docs as PDFs?  If so, no Adobe software is involved; you should ask in the appropriate Microsoft Office forum.

  • Font sizes between  Photoshop and Edge - Any Accurate conversion table?

    I have been trying to make sense of the font sizes between  Photoshop and Edge. It seems that the conversion tables I have found do not actually give the right numbers and I am wondering if there is a table from Adobe that would make it easy to have the right size rather than an approximation.
    I prefer to use text in Edge rather than Photoshop for many different reasons one being dynamic text.
    For example a font in Photoshop in a 780 x 475 image is 8pt - In Edge, according to conversion tables it should be 11 px but it is totally wrong. It needs to be closer to 30 px to be about the same.
    So, Adobe Team, any documentation on that?

    By the way, I have to correct the numbers but they still do not make too much sense. The artist gave me a 300 dpi file so of course the px size what wrong. After converting the file to 72 dpi, the font size happens to be 33.33 pt or 40 px which is now way too big in Edge.  It looks like the size my just be the same 33.33 pt would be 33.33 px. Is this correct?

  • What is the different between Photoshop element and Photoshop CS 6?

    What is the different between Photoshop element and Photoshop CS 6?
    Which version is latest Photoshop CS 6 or Photoshop CS 8?
    Can Photoshop CS 6 & 8 compatible with Window 7 or Window 8.1?
    What is the different between Photoshop Element and CS 6 ?

    They are two entirely different and separate applications, each one with its own separate and independent development and engineering teams.
    Photoshop is a professional level application that makes no apologies for its very long and steep learning curve. It has a bunch of features that are absent in Elements.
    Elements, on the other hand, is a simplified application lacking much of the power and refinements of Photoshop proper, but it has hand-holding features designed to appeal to amateurs and beginners.
    If your needs are not complicated, Elements may just be the ticket for you.
    Please realize that you are not addressing Adobe here in these user forums.  We are users just like you.  Personally, I have no connection to Adobe.

  • Footage Looks Different in SpeedGrade and when rendered

    Hello
    I’m having some problems figuring out what my file actually look like.
    Is there still a QuickTime bug that cause QuickTime to show a gamma-shifted or otherwise-screwy image?
    5dMkII h.264 .mov file
    The same file in QuickTime and VLC looks different. VLC version is darker and redder.
    That file in SG looks even darker, and slightly redder.
    Rendered out from SpeedGrade to ProRes422 (Automatic Color Adjustment switch on in SG) looks close to SpeedGrade display, but a few points redder and a touch darker.
    Rendered out from SpeedGrade to ProRes422 (Automatic Color Adjustment switch off in SG) much lighter and paler than SpeedGrade display.
    Same results with ProRes444.
    Why do these look different?
    Latest MacPro Tower
    Latest OS X

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    In general, it depends.  
    You can't be responsible for every other computer & user in the world ... even though at times they'll try and make you so. The best anyone can do is run a calibrated "shop" and know you're delivering good technical content. Test it on other calibrated systems, and over broadcast monitors if such are available somewhere you know. For clients with specific needs, TEST. Send a test over and have them check it ... for most TV use this is crucial. For say adds on movie theatre screens between shows, arrange to take a sample over before they "open" for the day and have it played on their equipment onto the screen ... see what it looks like, adjust & retest as necessary.
    For web use ... that's a total crapshoot off the mark.Best you can do is again, see that your system is as accurately calibrated as you can. Set the preferences for video players on your machine to use your system's calibration rather than their internal, which will ALWAYS do something odd to the signals. But not only odd ... unpredictable computer to computer. If your system is fully calibrated, your work over the web will hopefully average out pretty decent.
    For web-delivery clients, still ... do initial testing to see that they are happy with the results you give them. If on their computer they want it bluer, and ... you know that means it's gonna really be BLUE on many machines ... perhaps showing them on a laptop that it does look good as-is on another system or some sort of client education moment may need to happen. I've heard plenty of complaints that the client demanded someone deliver something too dark ... and then complained back at them because they got comments from others that the material was too dark. Love that, eh? Client demanded they change it darker even though told it would be too dark for most computers ... then groused at them that it was too dark. Right. Oh frabjous joy.
    Over in the video lounge here and on a couple other sites ... the threads on Stupid Client Demands have at times been a riot and at times something to near cry over. As a 30+ year stills portrait photographer, we've had the same thing at times from clients ... a demand to just plain print their images GREEN or something. Most of which we've complied with, some we ... didn't. What an interesting variety of brains and eyes there are about the planet ...
    My experience is that just doing the best I can, it looks pretty darn good on my client's tv's and computers. Some go one way or the other a bit, but in general, it works fine. And check if you've got a setting in either system controls or the Qt & VLC controls for system-managed color.

  • MY FONT LOOKS DIFFERENT IN INDESIGN PAGES PLEASE HELP!!!!!

    Hello, I have a majo problem here. I have all my pages written in one font, Arial Narrow, however the width of the font looks different from page to page, it looks bold on page 1 and 2, and on page 3 it looks fine,  is there any invisible setting applied to the whol page? why does it look bold? I did try toprint them, they do look different, also, there is no stroke  set, i checked, and color is set to black not registration. Is there anything else I am missing???? Please help!!!!

    Transparency isn't something you would adjust, per se.
    Imported art may have transparency in it (like a transparent background), or you may have applied an effect like a glow or a drop shadow, or used a blending mode (all of which are transparency effects) on an object on your document page, or even adjusted an object's opacity in the effects panel to make the background show through (this is true tranparency inthe classic sense). Any of these things will result in ID redrawing the page and "emboldening" the type on that page.
    There is no way to remove the eefect other than to remove the transparency from the page (if you are showing the icons for it in the pages panel, whcih you set in the panel options, you'll see a small checkerboard next to the page icon in the panel if there is transparency in use). To assure that all pages look the same if you are going to use transparency on any page, you can add a transparent object to the master page.

  • Fonts get switched between FCPX and Compressor

    I edit my video, make some simple intro and outro titles with specific fonts (Gill Sans, Adobe Garamond Pro) and although the fonts look fine in Final Cut Pro X when I send the video to Compressor 4 FCPX swaps out the fonts. It's driving me nuts.
    I've run Font Book and verified the fonts and they pass. I've done the share to Compressor twice and both times it swapped out the fonts, each time for different fonts.
    Anyone have this problem or have a solution?
    The video I'm editing hasn't been brought in and optimized, it's H.264 video in place, no audio. Very frustrating.
    Here's a link to the video, you can see three different types of fonts due to the fonts being lost between FCPX and C4. http://www.hawaii247.com/?p=56608

    I spoke with Apple Tech support, the first line told me if I had Adobe CS 5 installed on my system it would break the fonts, and suggested I create a new user, install fcpx under that user, and do my editing from there.  I asked to have the case escalated.
    The second line tech support indicated they have had no reports of this issue, however he was able to duplicate the problem 100% of the time using his "clean system" running Snow Leopard. He said he woulde further escalate the bug to the engineers.
    As as work around he suggested I creat all titles in motion (alpha chanel only) and then bring into fcpx as a .mov file. Great, I only have a few hundred titles..
    I suggest every user that is experiancing this either make a bug report via FCPX or call apple tech support and report it, otherwise it might be way down on the list of fixes.
    So it is a bug, and has nothing to do with fonts, prefs, or Adobe products.

  • Slow swapping between Photoshop and Illustrator

    I have had this issue for a while now where it takes forever to swap between photoshop and illustrator, even if nothing is on my clipboard.  It also seems like it takes forever for photoshop to display its UI no matter what program I am working in prior to clicking on it on the task bar.  Once I am in the programs, they run fine until I try to save or print, at which point to slow to a crawl again.  It wasn't  always like this, but I had to do a system restore a couple of weeks ago to fix a bad boot file, and now the programs run like crap.  I have noticed that the person who worked here prior to me never uninstalled the previous versions of Design Standard.  So I am just tyring to figure out a way to speed things up because this should not be going this slow.
    My computer specs
    Windows XP Professional
    2.83ghz Quad Core Intel Processor
    4GB RAM (tech  under since XP pro only supports 3.3)
    GeForce 9800 512MB Vid card
    All my drivers have been updated and I did a registry cleaner which did not fix the problem.  So any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks

    Imo, you should establish a rather strict
    color management strategy (examples):
    1. Define in Photoshop:
    RGB: AdobeRGB(98)
    CMYK: ISOCoated
    Gray: Black Ink ISO Coated (Custom profile)
    Spot: Black Ink ISO Coated
    2. Distribute this profile set by Bridge
    3. Convert RGB images in Photoshop to CMYK
    4. Define Color space in Illustrator as CMYK
    5. Open the Photoshop file or the Tiff file in
    Illustrator: here it looks as expected.
    Problems: the CMYK file contains an ICC-profile
    which is different to the global CMYK-definition.
    Now it depends on the CMS strategies, and that's
    the point where I'm usually giving up.

  • Dynamic link between Photoshop and Flash Catalyst does not exist

    Hi,
    I'm a french developer and I have a question.
    I didnt find any Dynamci link between Photoshop and Flash Catalyst.
    Let me explain :
    I have a photoshop file (.psd) and I import it into Flash Catalyst.
    But I have some modification to do on my design file (psd) but the design does not update himself in Flash Catalyst .
    Do you plane to add the possibility ?
    Thanks a lot !

    Given that you named the class TextDynamicLayout, it implies you are trying to handle wordwrapping text.  That requires handing down the VBox's explicitWidth to the Text controls before they get measured.  Wordwrapping text can be any size so it needs to have its width fixed in order to determine its height.
    The List classes do not support percentages on the renderers.  All renderers are effectively given a size based on the List's size (or DG Column size).  You can see how explicitWidth is handled in the default renderer by looking at the source for ListItemRenderer.as.
    Note that VBox or any container makes for heavy and slow rendering.  That's why the default Flex renderers extend UIComponent and have custom measure() and updateDisplayList() methods.
