Why does  my photo look posterized when I open it in CS6?

When opening a picture in CS6, either from Bridge or just from File, open in CS6, they have this 60's posterized look on most of the picture. Settings are 8 bit, RGB, haven't changed any settings and even reinstalled CS6 over the old CS6, but still doing it. Was fine for a long time, just started doing this. I did upgrade to OnOne Perfect Layers 7 recently. That program has had a history of bugginess, I may delete it . But first I was hoping there was some simple fix you might know of.  Thank you

Have you tried resetting the preferences?

  • Why does i photo not launch when i click on icon in dock?

      Help why does i photo not launch when i click on icon in dock?

    The icons in the Dock are aliases. If iPhoto isn't launching from the dock the alias may be broken. What you can do is first test to if iPhoto is working by launching the app from the Applications folder. Once you have determined iPhoto is OK then remove the old Dock icon by holding it down and dragging it to the desktop, it will disappear in a puff of smoke. Then go to the Applications folder and drag the iPhoto icon to the Dock and test it.

    Why does my contacts unexpectly quit when I open it.  I am using OS X 10.8.3....  This has been happening for the past two weeks.....

    Try moving the com.apple.addressBook.plist to your Desktop and start Contacts.

  • Why does my photo look normal in Adobe RAW, but when opened in CS6 it becomes strongly color banded

    Had this problem once before, but uninstalled all my Nikon viewing etc software and it cleared up. Haven't changed anything since then, but it just started doing it again. Photo looks normal in Adobe camera raw, but when opened from there into CS6 it becomes highly color banded and cartoonish looking. On some pictures it's only happening in the brighter, highlight areas, in others the whole picture is affected. I'm using a high end Alienware computer and didn't have any issues for about the first year, my graphics card drivers are up to date, will check on monitor drivers next I guess.

    What are your Color Settings?
    Please provide screenshots to illustrate the issue and set the Status Bar or Info Panel to display the Document Profile.

  • In FF4, why does my website looks different when www is omitted

    My site looks different when I use www in the address and when I omit www. Look at http://www.dynapipe.co.uk and http://dynapipe.co.uk.
    This doesn't happen with FF3 or IE7, 8 or 9 or Google Chrome, only FF4

  • Why does Facebook come out magnified when I open it? (Huge Font)

    All the other sites open in regular size font as usual except Facebook, it is magnified or zoomed when I open it

    hello bluyacht, try to press ctrl+0 ('zero') while you're on the page in order to reset the zoom level for that page or in case this doesn't work also go through the other common troubleshooting steps at [[Websites look wrong or appear differently than they should]]

  • Why does a loading bar appear when i open pages? it does not go away and does not allow me to close the app while it is up.

    when i open my pages app a loading bar appears and cannot be removed. i have waited two and a half hors for whatever it is to load and i finally just had to force the program to close through the activity monitor. But this problem persists... every time i open the app the loading bar haunts me. i can still edit the document but the loading bar is still "layered" in front of the open app. my final question is, how do i get rid of this loading bar and what is it for?

    Gabe,
    It sounds as though Pages is trying to resume editing a bad document, or a very large one. Quit Pages, Force Quit if necessary, and then start it up again while holding down the Shift key to prevent reopening formerly open documents.

  • Why does the "alert" noise sound when I open applications?

    When I first got this mac, it did not sound when I opened applications, so it's definitely not normal.
    I also do not think that this is a type of setting that can be changed, and if it was, I surely did not set it (and nobody else has access to my computer)
    I don't know if this is a virus?

    Hi,
    Not quite the same issue as yours... But I sometimes get the Alert sound when closing Multiple Windows...
    What I do is simply Log Out and then Back In again and it's gone...
    ( I did Bug Report this to Apple Months ago... )
    Cheers,

  • Why does my music turn off when I open Safari on my iPhone 5c?

    I noticed that my music turns off when I open safari on my iPhone 5c. What's the deal?

    I figured out this will happen if any of the pages that are open in safari on your phone are open to a page that contains media.  Note this means any page regardless of whether it's the one you are viewing.  So if you go to a site that has media, then open a new browser window and go to a page that doesn't have media and then open iTunes and play a song...when you switch back to safari, the music will stop.  If you close the first browser window and try it again...the music will continue to play.

  • Why does TDM Importer start up when I open an Excel file in LabVIEW, and how can I stop it?

    I have a new application using LabVIEW 2012 SP1.  I open an Excel file using the Report Generation toolkit and when I do so, a small TDM Importer window pops up on top of the Excel file.  
    How can I prevent this?

    Hi Steve,
    The TDM Importer pops up because the report generated in LabVIEW is in the TDMS file format.  TDMS is a binary file that requires an importer to make sense of the binary data and translate it into an Excel spreadsheet.  As per this white paper, the appearance of the floating toolbar is expected behavior:  http://www.ni.com/white-paper/5874/en/
    To the best of my knowledge, you cannot get rid of the floating toolbar unless you uninstall the add-in, in which case you probably would not be able to open your LabVIEW-generated reports.  However, as of Excel 2007, the toolbar is embedded in the "Add-Ins" tab instead of floating on your spreadsheet.  You can see how the toolbar looks as of Excel 2007 in step 6 of this white paper:  http://www.ni.com/white-paper/5885/en/
    If there is a way to embed the toolbar in Excel 2003, it would be the exact same way you would embed any other floating customer toolbar in Excel.  In other words, I don't think this has anything to do with the fact that it's NI's add-in.  This is just the way Excel 2003 and earlier treats add-in toolbars.  Someone on these forums may well know a way to embed it (perhaps a macro?), but you may have better luck contacting Microsoft.  I'm not sure whether it's even possible for a user to embed the toolbar.
