Why fuzzy images when opened in Editor ?

When opening images in the editor the edges of the image are jagged and fuzzy.
They seem ok at 100% but at the lower magnifications, less than 50%, problem.
To me it is very noticeable and the image just looks wrong.
I have tried trial versions of Elements 8 and 9
I have the same problem on XP64 and Windows 7 64bit
My comp specs as follows:
Intel Quad
ATI Radeon HD 3400 series
Monitor ASUS VH222H
I suspect this is a software issue because the images look fine in Picasa
and other programs.
Thanks for any help.
Mike

Can you post a screenshot?

Why do I keep getting an error "insufficient data for an image" when opening a document

why do I keep getting an error "insufficient data for an image" when opening a document in Adobe Reader XI 11.0.06

I am also having this problem, especially with scanned documents. Since I need to download scanned documents in my work this is a big problem!Sometimes I can read but not save the document, sometimes one or two of the pages will be blank from the start. I have the latest version of Adobe Reader XI (11.0.10). I tried reducing the page zoom, a suggested workaround on this page: Acrobat: “Insufficient data for an image” error after updating to 10.1.4 or 9.5.2, but that did not help at all. FWIW I use a Windows 8.1 PC with 4 GB RAM. I usually download PDFs from the internet using Firefox.

Images pre-edited when opened in Editor

I have used PSE 11 for a few years and all of the sudden this week my images are being "auto edited" when opened. When I open an image in Editor it has already been edited a bit… it looks different than the image in Organizer. I want to edit the images myself. Did I accidentally turn some "auto edit" on? How can I turn this off?

I just figured out that after the image is opened in Editor, I can go Image-- Convert Color Profile-- Remove Color Profile. That gives me the original image. But, does anyone know how to turn this off for good?

Photoshop blurs image when opening jpeg from Nikon

Hi
My photoshop in CS6 blurs an image when opening a Jpeg this only happens on my own devices, so for example if the photo is taken on nikon DSLR, ipad or iphone. any other image, i.e. stock and downloaded and its fine.
I just cant figure out what the problem is, but essentially all my photos are uneditable because of the blurring. can any help?
Many thanks

If OpenGL drawing is disabled, then the video driver isn't too likely. Most of the problems in drivers show up with OpenGL drawing enabled.
But printer drivers and fonts can sometimes cause issues.
And there's always a chance that the video driver is failing at something simple (like drawing a menu or cursor).

PDFs not displaying images when opened in Google Chrome.

My PDFs are not displaying images when opened in Chrome. They do display in other browsers and when saved to the desktop. I have tested on multiple machines. Is there a problem with how they are saved? Here is a test: http://www.omnils.com/userfiles/files/Brochures/KL-003_REV_0914_APEX_CR_SPEC_SHEET_lo.pdf

"... a known Chrome issue." The resolution lies with Google for this - nothing you can do (other than disable the "in house" browser add-on and enable Adobe's (if you have Reader or Acrobat installed)).
A similar issue exists with other, contemporary, browser releases.
The "fix" is these software houses to deploy PDF viewer browser add-ons that actually comply with ISO 32000.
Perhaps their lazy approach reflects the attitude of "Hey, Adobe will get the hit not us."
Provide your users a feed-back mechanism; you'd be able to respond with the suggestion that they ping on the appropriate software houses to provide adequate software.
Be well...

Feh showing black images when opening certain .bmp files

Hi all,
I've been using feh (I'm using imagemagick too) from quite a bit and today I noticed it shows plain black images when opening certain .bmp files, those files are obtained from a Java WebService and they may not be correcty formed, still firefox can correctly visualize them. Would it be possible to make feh correctly display them ?

I've set Photoshop to ask me if there's a conflict with embedded color schemes but it doesn't ask when opening this file. So I presume it doesn't use any specific profile. (Can I check this directly somehow?)
EDIT: I've now set to ask if there is no profile embedded and Photoshop now says that the image has no embedded RGB profile.
My color profile within Photoshop is set to sRGB which is the default for my display.
When I try switching to other RGB profiles in the list, the colors change but the distortions are still there no matter which profile I choose.

Why a black box (or fuzzy "i") when opening an image?

In one particular folder in "Events", when I click on an image to open, it opens to a black box or at best a fuzzy "i" - were the image should be, what has happened? All other options appear as normal but if I click "edit"for example - my options become unavailable and still have the black box were the image should be.
All other folders in Events are fine and no such problem occurs. In checking "preferences" nothing has changed as the problem folder preferences are the same as the others - likewise not aware I've changed anything either. I've gone into 'help" but just cannot find anything there unless I'm looking into the wrong place?
Currently I'm on OS "X" 10.6.8 using iPhoto 09 - 8.1.2 (424) which hopefully will assist too?

In your first post:
In one particular folder in "Events", when I click on an image to open, it opens to a black box or at best a fuzzy "i"
In your most recent post
Currently no ! appears now, just a black box.
These are different issues with potentially different resolutions. Assuming that there is no exclamation mark warning, but just a black screen:
There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help:
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
but this is just one folder with 211 images - all other folders are fine and working as expected. Reading what you have written, you are referring to the whole library which seems to be extreme?
This is not just one folder or just 211 images. What you are seeing are symptoms of an issue in the Database file. If this file is damaged then your Library is damaged and this is what needs to be fixed. That's why deleting and re-importing won't help. You'll be re-importing to a database that is known to be damaged and unstable.

Why can't I see a preview image when opening files in InDesign?

I have "Always save preview images with documents" checked in File Handling, also with Save As. But I can only see the CS3 ID icon in my folders on the desktop, and when opening a file in InDesign. I'm running 10.4.11. Shouldn't I be able to see a preview image of the first page of an InDesign file?
Thanks!

i think those preview images means that indesign saves a lowres image of every placed image inside indd. So you can open your indd in some other computer and see all placed images even if you don´t have all the original linked hires images transferred with indd.
If you want to see your documents first page as document icon, use Bridge to browse your files. It recognizes a content of indd files and show first page as icon. .

Photo went black when opening in editor!

Hi there,
I thought I'd try the editor in Photos. As soon as I opened my first image it showed up black in the editor. I didn't touch any controls, it happened immediately. I got out of the editor and the thumbnail had gone black. The image is now just black. Revert to Original is not available, show referenced file is not available.
It is an old (2010) PEF raw image from a Pentax camera. This image showed up fine before opening the editor.
I am terrified I may lose my photos permanently, just because I open the editor!!!
Any help appreciated.

It's AMD that have been doing the tweaking/correcting. Catalyst 13.1 can be problematic for any version of Ps that uses OpenGL although you may not have exposed the problems until yesterday. Your example image shows the bug where a pixel with red component of zero is displayed as completely black.

Viewinging RAW files as thumbnail images when opening from Photoshop - not working?

I have just installed Photoshop CC on my new Windows 8.1 OS computer and when I try to open one of my RAW files into Photoshop from the Photoshop 'open file' menu item I can only see file icons rather than the thumbnail pictures that are in the folders? I can view the thumbnails just fine from Bridge but not when opening directly from Photoshop? I can view all jpg's but no RAW files (both Canon and Sony RAW). I tried installing the Microsoft Camera Codec for Windows 8.1 but it won't install - error message says "not intended for this operating system" in spite of the fact that it explicitly states it is for Windows 8.1? Any ideas on what to do to be able to view the thumbnail images?
Thanks in advance.

Greyed out images when opened in photoshop CS

I ahve been happily using my photoshop but recently all my images are greyed out with small white and grey boxes so cannot view or change. I have clicked on the imagine open section in history and it makes not difference. What am I doing wrong?

I shoudl warn you that although I use CS5 relatively well to edit I am not very technical so am finding all your helpful queries rather confusing. However, I have managed to look deeper into my program and the images are in RGB colour on 8 but /channel. However am working in CMYK. THe problem is that when opened the images are now in the transparency grid and in order to view them I have to Zoom in or out whic his either too large or too small to work on. I have not changed anything on the porgram from its initial settings. From Chris Cox's help i am not really sure what he means by this so please help. I am unable to find any telephone number for Adobe Help except on in the US where they tell you there is a 30 mins wait and I am based in UK. ALso not sure what extension......or what that means. Do you have a UK number I can call or help me further? Thanks Lucy

No image when open using open image sequence

I cloned my macpro disk to a new, larger hdd using carbon copy. After doing when I open Quicktime 7 I'm unable to see an image when I..
file > open image sequence
All I see is the player, but no (first) jpg image in the sequence. I even tried paying for Q7 again and getting a new reg code See image below.

Hi,
you can try to switch between the devices when you go to START - Control Panel - Display - Settings. There you see Screen 1 and 2 and you can switch between them! Also at Advanced at Dual display settings or Extended desktop are settings which should be checked!

Why can't I open Elements Editor by dragging a photo file onto the Elements Icon in the MacOSX doc?

Why can't I open a file in Elements Editor 11 for Mac by dragging the file onto the Elements icon in the dock? I have been using previous versions of Elements for many years and this has always worked.

Make sure the Alias is for the Editor App in Support Files

Am changing from elements 13 trial to full version,but when opening the editor it keeps asking for me to sign in and input serial number

I have been trying to get elements 13 working for a couple of weeks, after many hours of chat with support and them using remote access, it has still not worked. However, having been on several websites I have made progress and it is now running as the trial version.
The organiser works fine but every time I open the editor, it asks me to sign in and requests the serial number followed by the message "verifying serial number" which disappears after a few seconds. The same thing happens every time I open it as if my serial number is not being accepted
Please help

InDesign CS2 will not be able to open PM files on XP SP3, Vista, or Win 7.

Image pixelated when open in editor

I have several pictures that I shot in RAW. I start in the organizer and right click to open them in the editor. At first, since they are shot in RAW, they open in the RAW editor (I don't remember the correct name), I make my changes, and then open the image, there are parts of the image that are pixelated. Anyone know what causes that and how to fix it? It is very strange. I've never had that happen before. Thank you.
Heather

What adjustments are you making in camera raw? Make sure you are not over sharpening or pushing up the clarity slider too much.
Are you using raw files straight from your camera and not raw files created in iPhoto from an original?
