Why is my layer style not looking right in Lightroom or when exported?

Hey everyone! I am working on a fun little storybook project as a part of a Halloween-themed photoshoot and I am running into something that has me stumped. Check the screenshots below:
The first image is as-seen in Photoshop and the second is the messed up version that shows up in Lightroom and also in jpeg exports. As you can see, the Lightroom/jpg/png version doesn't look nearly as fancy.
So longer story somewhat shorter: the layerstyle isn't translating over to Lightroom preview or to jpeg exports through Lightroom or png and jpeg exports via Photoshop's "Save for Web" or "Save As" features.
The file was created in Photoshop and imported into LR with no import presets.
Can't wait to hear what you think and thanks for your time!

iPhoto does not change the size of photos (or make any other changes)
You are accessing them incorrectly
Either export them to a desktop folder and upload from there or use the media browser to locate your photos - do not go directly into your iPhoto library for any reason

Why does the Flex app not looking right?

Hi,
I am making an AIR application. But what ever application that I make in AIR using Flex has grey area at the bottom. The canvas or what can I say, the stage isn't covering the whole area.
   <------------ See here is the grey area
In the design view everything seems fine but there is an empty space below in grey color making my application usless.
This is a serious issuse for me.
Please help.
Thank you.

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:WindowedApplication xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="vertical" borderColor="#EFF4FF" backgroundGradientAlphas="[1.0, 1.0]" backgroundGradientColors="[#680099, #00365F]" horizontalAlign="center" verticalAlign="middle" borderStyle="solid" width="300" height="200">
    <mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            public function clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
                myText.text = "You clicked me";
               showStatusBar= false;
        ]]>
    </mx:Script>
    <mx:Panel width="250" height="200" layout="absolute">
        <mx:Button id="myButton" click="clickHandler(event)" label="Click" x="89" y="60"/>
        <mx:TextArea id="myText" x="35" y="10"/>
    </mx:Panel>
</mx:WindowedApplication>
showStatusBar = false; doesn't change anything. Actually its not status bar, I think. But I don't know what it is.
Creating apps in flash IDE doesn't give this problem.
But here I *have* to use Flex Builder.

Thank You.

Layer Styles Not Saving for Use on Other Computers

I've been trying over and over for the last 6 hours to get the layer styles I save in my custom pallet to work on other computers. I mean, I have a bunch of pallets from other sources and somehow they achieved a way of being able to save theirs, now why can't I do it on mine?
So, here's the story of what I've done. I have a Text layer, I've added a list of FX to it via the Layer Styles menu. Now I save the document. I open up a new document and copy/paste the FX onto a new Text layer in another document window. It works great.
Then, I save the layer styles for use later, but no. When I do everything exactly the same way, my Layer Style that I saved has lost all it coordinates of shadows and stroke widths, bevels, you name it, it's screwed up. Now I've tried this so far on CS4 and CS5, 3 different computers. All 3 computers have different settings for how Photoshop is set up, so I know it's NOT my settings alone. Though, it keeps the colors and custom gradients how they are, everything is bonkers.
I'm ready to stop trusting in Photoshop to be there for me when I need it...or punch a hole in the wall. Whichever comes first.
I need help for this as soon as possible, for I have an assignment I need this for.
Running: Windows 7 64
Adobe Photoshop CS4 & CS5.

Seems to me you left out the most critical piece of information, that is, HOW did you save the layer style for later use ?
You might read this tutorial to see if you did it correctly.

Date time picker script does not look right when calender pops up

When I use this script in my header, my date time picker does not look right. The pop up calender works but the layout is off, here is the code I am adding to my header:
<link href="http://netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/twitter-bootstrap/2.2.2/css/bootstrap-combined.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
    <link rel="style.css" type="text/css" media="screen"
     href="http://tarruda.github.com/bootstrap-datetimepicker/assets/css/bootstrap-datetimepicker.min .css">
And here is the code I am adding to the body of the html page below: Is it the placement of the code in the header? I've tried the beginning and the end of the hearder but no difference. Thanks for your time on this....
<div id="datetimepicker" class="input-append date">

Why does IBA not include the table of contents when exporting to PDF?

Why does IBA not include the table of contents when exporting in PDF? I can seee the TOC in iBooks Author but when I want to see what it looks like in a regular PDF, the TOC does not show up.

Strange question you ask here. Not sure why that is relevant to "why" IBA won't publish a table of contents in a PDF.
But since eyou asked, it's simple, I want to author some books in IBA and also see what they look like - completed - in PDF. Again, any suggestions as to a work around so I don't have to cut and paste back into Pages?

Why do I get white lines surrounding PSD or Tiff transparencies when exported as a PDF for print ?

Why do I get white lines surrounding PSD or Tiff transparencies when exported as a PDF for print - Indesign Version 9.2?
I recently upgraded creative suite - now I am having issues with white lines surrounding any tiffs or PSDs when exporting for print.
I initially thought it was an acrobat viewer problem, but it seems to be effecting print. Please let me know if anyone knows the answer to this problem. thanks!

Thanks Bob, to date I have simply used the High Quality Print default, which is actually Acrobat 4 (PDF 1.3) - I have never had issues before - until now when I upgraded my software..

Why are my webpages not looking right or my personas not working as they were?

I opened up my browser yesterday and no matter where I go on the web, the pages don't look right. The graphics are off. I can't even see my yahoo mail. It loads, but I see no words or graphics. My Personas is actually rotating, but all I get visually is a color, no graphics at all. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling twice to no avail. I'm not sure what to do now. I can use Explorer without any graphics issues, but I really like Firefox much better and would like to get this issue resolved.

In FCE make sure nothing is selected in the timeline before exporting
In the Chapter Marker submenu do NOT erase the <Chapter> slug; it doesn't show up in the chapter title but it must be there
When exporting from FCE try exporting as DVD Studio Pro markers (if it gives you that option) just for a change
In iDVD I believe there is a Preference setting to make sure it recognizes chapter markers; check for that

Exported Video Does Not Look Right

I am sure this is a basic setting I am overlooking, but a lot of this is new to me - any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
My goal is to create a high quality 640x480 movie for Computer/Web viewing only.
• I shot a short video using a Canon Vixia HV30 to mini DV tape using the SD standard - no problem. I guess that records at 720x480 non-square pixels at 29.97fps - is that right?
• I used log and capture inside of FCP v6.0.5 to capture the various clips I needed - no problem (I don't think). If I open each of those clips from the finder in Quicktime they look "pretty" good, but a bit of aliasing on the diagonals and somewhat blurry, but not sure why? Everything looks sharp on the smaller camera LCD screen? and looks pretty good inside of FCP on the Canvas? If I open one of these captures directly inside of Quicktime and do a get info, it says...
DV 720x480 (640x480)

All these Quicktime movies appear slightly larger in height and width than the same clips when viewed in the FCP Canvas?
If I open the Sequence Settings in FCP it says...
Frame Size 720 x 480 NTSC DV (3:2)
Pixel Aspect Ratio NTSC - CCIR 601 /DV (720x480)
Field Dominance: None
Editing Timebase: 29.97
Everything looked pretty good inside FCP so I Exported a QT Movie using "Current Settings". Then opened the resulting self-contained movie in QT and it looks pretty bad. When I get info in QT on the rendered final movie it reads...
DV 720x480 (640x480)
FPS: 29.97
Normal Size: 720x480 pixels
Current Size: 640x480 pixels (Actual)
So... the FPS and the Normal Size are not the same as the captured original clips.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Is this just the wrong Sequence Settings, Export Settings or do I have to start over an re-capture all my footage some other way?
PS - I am assuming that the DV Camcorder is recording interlaced (60 fields) rather than progressive - is that right. Do I need to de-interlace the video somehow?

I'm far from being an expert, but since no one has replied to you yet, and because I've been helped out here plenty of times, I'll post something and who knows -- it may be the answer.
Your post was really long but from what I can gather, you're wondering why your exported video does not look good when you open it in QuickTime. Try this: Open the video in QT, hit command-J, then click on Video Track, then at the bottom right (under Visual Settings) you'll see High Quality, Single Field, and Deinterlace. Click around on those to see if that improves what you see.

LAYER STYLES NOT RENDERING

hi! :) i'm using after effects cs3 on a quadecore pc, 2gb RAM. my output is in quicktime .mov. layer styles that i've added doesn't come out in my rendered project like drop shadow or stroke. none of my layers are in 3D so i don't know what i may or may not be doing right in my render settings or project switches. help?

Well, depending on your output module templates and render settings, OpenGL may be enabled by default for some of them. You can easily change that by going in the menu and choosing Edit --> Templates --> Render Settings (the setting is a checkbox called "Render using OpenGL").

Blend modes in "stroke"-layer styles not working ?

Hi. Anybody else got problems with the the blend modes in the "stroke" layer style, or am I doing something wrong?
right click on layer > blending options > stroke > blend mode
(position=inside)
I want to use "fill type"="gradient", but the blend modes do not even work with "fill type"=color. For both fill modes, the stroke does not let any pixels of the layer shine through, no matter what blend mode I choose.
I often use blend modes, for example "darken", etc. I know how they work, but somehow for the stroke layer style it seems not to work at all.
I know, it's pretty basic, but I have spent several hours on that and simply don't succeed. Thanks for any help.

A question for Adobe techs?

As there's only a single sentence refering to the stroke layer style in the CS3 manual, I'd also be thankful for an Adobe comment, clarifying whether this is a bug or not and if it will be improved.
Just to depict the current behaviour in a more graphic way:
test image: layers:
stroke settings:
expected results:
actual results:
I'd suggest to add a checkbox "knockout", which would let the user choose between the two results.

MacBook Pro 13 on LG Monitor Not Looking Right

I am using a 13" MBP with an LG W2040T Monitor. I believe it is running in Clamshell mode. The MBP is closed, but I am using the external display. The monitor is running in 1600x900, and when I click on the display icon on the finder bar on top it says it is running in 1600x900. For some reason though the fonts and display in general isn't looking quite right. It almost seems like the resolution isn't supported or something. The only way I could really explain it would be saying it seems like the computer is trying to run in a lower resolution than the monitor. Is 1600x900 not supported in Snow Leopard?

Yes, you're right, and I read your post carelessly. In clamshell mode you should be able to select the 1600 x 9000 native (maximum) resolution of your external display. If you've selected that, then your display is as sharp as it can be. It may just not look very good because by today's standards, that's a low resolution for a 20" display. At $150 plus or minus $10 brand new, you can't expect the 2040T to compare very well with higher-quality monitors.
You may be able to improve text crispness slightly by tinkering with the font smoothing settings in System Preferences > Appearance, but your LG display will never look as good as the MBP's own screen.

CS4 extended Layer styles not working

Running CS4 extended on Vista64, Corei7 quad @2.9 GHz, 8 Gig Ram and nVidia quadro FX 1700. I can not get layer styles to work in documents that originated in CS3 extended. If I start a new document they work.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Well, I ended up copying all of the layers from the old PSD to a CS4 psd and it worked. Since it is a web page it had a lot of layers and it was a major pain in the hooey... but it did work.

Why is my layer style not looking right in Lightroom or when exported?
