Images are dimmed when I save JPG in Photoshop

Here is what happens:

I opened a photo capture with my DSLR (a JPG in this case).  It resembles Photoshop.  I change the image, and export by going to file > save under > then I choose JPEG.  I then leave quality to the max (12) and say OK.  The resulting image is MUCH darker (the shadows are completely overwritten)

Why is this happening?

Some features:

Windows Vista 64-bit

Photoshop CS4 64-bit

Thanks for your time and your help.

I use Windows Photo Gallery to view JPEG images (dark).  When I view these same jpegs in Photoshop, they look better.

There is your answer. PS is a workspace color managed, while the Windows Photo Gallery is not. Same thing will probably happen with other areas of work/programs not color managed.

The secret is to always work and make decisions on a good claibrated, color managed workspace.

It was about the same as the old days of film. Adjust us things for our calibrated lightbox or cabin and then get the call that the colors were off on chrome, when the customer held up a fluorescent flickering, or a window North-lite. Well, what what did they expect?

Good luck

  • The image passes grayscale when you save or print preview Postscript/PDF but the text remains in color?

    It is in color, until I have turn on overprint preview, or try to save the booklet in Postscript or PDF format.

    In print preview or when you do everything above, it goes gray scale but the text and rectangles are in color?

    The images have been placed as eps files from Photoshop and have been duatone in PS.

    Help, please.

    You and all those who have contributed, thank you.

    The problem is that the files were not CMYK Pantone color library, they were the nuances I had made myself were not recognizable to the printer.

    I can't say why we are forced to use eps or Postscript files, as far as I know is that I have to follow the guidelines directly or it will result in a failure. It is a strange Bachelor of Graphic Design.

    Thank you all, the problem has been resolved.

  • Why is it when I save as jpeg photoshop changes the color.

    When saving an image in jpeg photoshop changes the color. also if I save the same image in the same folder a quality jpeg and the other in tiff format, when I discover the jpeg first, then scroll to the other image, that both of them have the same green change desaturated color but if I find the first tiff, then highlight the JPEG then two of them are very good. I can't find out what is the problem and why whoever I find first would make a difference. When you view the tiff, first of all, images are displayed on a white background and if the JPEG is opened first, they appear on a black background. I can't get my head around this help would be appreciated. Congratulations in advance.

    The jpeg format has integrated Adobe RGB.

    The PNG is untagged (has no color profile embedded).

    Convert to sRGBand make sure that the sRGB profile is embedded in the file.

  • Right side of placed images are cut when exporting to PDF

    Hi all

    I am a beginner still trying to wrap my mind about InDesign and all its features and have encountered a problem with export to PDF. On the right, 1-4 pixels are cut off! I think my problem may be related to what has been discussed in this thread:

    InDesign, problem of Image with PDF export... straight cut...

    But my question has nothing to do with Visio. I'm simply put PNG and JPG files that have already been created and stored locally on my computer. I found that the only way to solve this problem is to add a few columns of pixels of space white/empty in my images so that the straight line of frame in the images (created by Adobe Illustrator) appear.

    Having to change my images first before placing them in InDesign is obviously not the best or the right solution.

    Does anyone have any ideas what could cause this problem and how to fix? Maybe there's a setting somewhere for the picture frames that should be adjusted?

    You say that the border is the placed graphic? No, don't do that. Make the image as the image only, apply the border via the framework (and via an object style).

    I don't know why the gross pixel is truncated, could be an error in the workflow or a bug, it should not happen, but you must not include in the file anyway.

    When the files came from Illustrator, use HAVE or PDF/X-4, never no raster such as PNG, BMP or JPG image. If it is printed, text and vector will be printed with the maximum resolution of printers and the quality, raster images cannot be better than the resolution of the image. PNG also supports only RGB and print it not so good, because it would be a CMYK graphic with clear black.

  • Change records are displayed when you save a file

    Suddenly, when I go to save a file, the choices in the left column no longer show my hard drive and folders, only external drives. Maybe I accidentally hit 'HIDE' to the top of the page set of locations. How can I get back them? (In the picture below, you see FAT BOY and such - these are all external.) Where are my downloads folder, hard disk, etc. ? I know it's probably a simple solution, but I can't seem to understand.

    I quite often use the Snipping Tool.  Since the purchase of the HP Envy 4500 printer, when I paste images chiseled in the word, the image looks fine in preview before printing.  However, when I print the document, the chiseled image is enlarged and does not fit the glued area.  I get only part of the image on the paper.

  • RAW images are "locked" when they are imported into LR

    I just got a new camera (Sony alpha 6000) and all my RAW images that I am trying to import into LR 4.4 are "locked" and therefore cannot be imported.

    When I click on the photo in my HD file and look at the 'Get Info' of the photo is not "locked."

    Cannot find any setting on my camera that shows the photo as "locked."  Anyone know if it is a problem of LR or Sony?

    I have a Nikon D40, which has no problem downloading RAW images on my LR 4.4.


    Thanks for any help!

    Sony Alpha 6000 raw files require at least 5.4 of Lightroom.

    You need to upgrade, Lightroom, or use the free Adobe DNG Converter 8.6 version to convert your RAW to DNG and then import them into Lightroom.

  • Web images are blurred when exporting to PDF

    We constantly place web (72 dpi) images in InDesign presentation documents, then export the PDF file for our customers. However when the PDF file is exported it makes images to 72 dpi blurred. I tried all combinations to export the PDF file I can think is to say high quality printing, change of compression to zero, change of color of the images "Do not downsample", export to interactive PDF and change the resolution etc and it always seems to compress my images every time.

    Any ideas?

    Note: The only way I found it is to recreate the images in the form of 150ppi however need an another solution because they must be 72 dpi.

    Thank you

    Acrobat displays the default images to 96 DPI system.

    In Acrobat, go into preferences and under the Page display, you can insert a custom resolution that will probably solve your problem.

    Note that this is an individual setting, other computers may not have this together.

  • ' Export As.. ' & 'Quick export in PNG' output images are different from what I see in Photoshop.

    Export a large number of images, and some of them come looking very different to what I see in photoshop...

    It is nothing complicated, just an image with a mask and a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer applied. Some do well, some strange - see image attached.

    Can anyone tell why this is happening? This has messed up my entire workflow now...

    Use inheritance save for Web. If I understand correctly, the fast export is not a finished work.

    I have an extension called "Export Helper" and it presents a small panel with buttons to activate the features for exporting CC in 2015.

    Download here: https://creative.adobe.com/addons/products/12270 and save it as a workspace, so you never have to keep it open.

  • When RAW images are needed (if it is stored on the hard drive more slow)?

    I just bought an SSD that will roughly triple my reading speed, but since it's only 160 GB I'cant afford the luxury to keep all my data on it.

    I know there are many threads here about the best hard drive configurations, but just how would keeping that data (files 12 megapixel CR2) RAW affect my LR experience (once 1:1 previews have been returned and stored on the ssd)?

    For example, refinement of development would be insensitive?

    Robert Karlsson

    I'd do it but the LRcat previews and hides on the disc and the actual image on a standard disk performance files. Treatment you just write on the disc were the images are found when you save the changes to the files xmp either external or internall and only this disk reads when generating previews, so the actual performance increase will come from the LRcat and previews being on the disc fast and if space is at a premium (as it will be of course with only 160 GB to play with.

    If you were really organized could import the images particual group, work on the SSD and when you are done move elsewhere... but the time required to do this can defeat the purpose. Try a few game different ups and let us know how it goes as I can consider buying a small SSD if it does not give improvements.

  • Burned using Windows DVD maker photos are blurred when read

    Pictures inserted in creation of DVD of Windows7 and burned to a DVD disc are dimmed when read on television via a DVD or Power DVD on the PC drive (origonal photos are sharp)

    No problem with ULEAD DVD Movie Factory

    Hi Barry Robbo.

    1 when was the last time you were able to play a DVD burned successfully?

    2. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    3. What is the file format of the burned photos?

    4. which Windows Player do you use to play the burned photos?

    A DVD may not play properly in some DVD players or DVD - ROM readers to one of the following reasons:

    • The type of drive may not be compatible. Some DVD players or DVD - ROM drives can play some types of DVD. For example, some DVD players only play discs DVD + R or DVD + RW, while others play only DVD-R or DVD - RW discs.
    • The quality of the disc may be too low. Some DVD players or DVD - ROM drives will not play DVD if the disc is not in good condition or if it isn't a high quality disc. If your Player cannot play a DVD, you can try to burn again using a higher quality DVD.
    • DVD decoding software can not be installed on the computer. If you try to play the DVD in the DVD drive on another computer, the DVD will not play if DVD decoding software is not installed on this computer.

    To determine what types of DVDs your DVD player or DVD - ROM drive can play, see the documentation that came with your device or go to the manufacturer's Web site.

  • I started shooting RAW format.  I saved in jpg format and noticed that my images are now about 1 MB in size.  When I used to shoot jpg and save jpg, they were about 8 or 9 MB. I am more that I realize compress.  Can you please walk me through a step by st

    If there is no photographers out there.  I would also like to know if you save as .tif for them.  I wasn't sure that customers could get files printed everywhere .tif that they wanted (as they can with jpg).  Let me know how save you for them.

    The jpg file sizes can vary significantly - depending on the topic and you choose the quality setting.

    Flat images, like a snowy on a cloudy day, landscape will compress much more than an animated image, as trees, sunny with lots of details.

    When you save a jpg file, you can choose quality on a scale between 0 a 12, where 12 gives the highest quality and the least compression.

    You will see the size of the file in the dialog box options Jpg, and you can also preview to see how the jpg will look.

    Having said that, the file size is not really an indicator of the quality or resolution - dimensions in pixels are.

    But if the file will print, use a high quality setting, like 10 or 12.

  • Hi, I am trying to save my edited images that are size 30 MB in JPEG format to send to print, but when I save they are lot to 5 MB any help is appreciated.

    Hello

    I have problems trying to save my edited images are sized at 30 MB + in jpeg format to the same size that is needed for my print lab. For some reason, it resizes them to below 5MB. Can anyone help? Thank you in advance.

    You're confused image with dimensions in pixels size.

    There is no problem as long as you has not changed the dimensions/resizing the image when you saved as jpg.

    Check the dimensions in pixels of the original and the jpg - they should be the same.

    To put it otherwise - size of the image in megabytes are not an indicator of the size of an image (the size it will print). Dimensions in pixels are.

  • When you save a file to the [.jpg] format, I wonder to choose a quality from 1 to 100. What are the changes in the created file based on the selected quality setting?

    When you save a file to the [.jpg] format, I wonder to choose a quality from 1 to 100. What are the changes in the created file based on the selected quality setting? I would like to know what changes, so in the future, I can set my camera to one who will give me the highest quality in a first time, which allows me to make cultures and always preserve the quality.

    Thank you

    Thank you twenty-one... your answer of common sense to me.

    so, in short, can I assume down the chosen quality over compression algorithm?

  • When saving a photo, the colors do not transfer correctly (they are dull) unless I have "save for web".  But when I save it for the web, it reduces the DPI up to 72 or 96 at best.  So I have to take the extra step to resize the image at 300 dpi, m

    When I "save under" I lose my color settings.  They are not more dynamic.  When I use save for web and maintaining devices, the colors, but PGD is only 72.

    This is because if you have not defined in all metadata option, you lose 300 ppi print metadata and file takes the default value of web metadata. 96 for Windows or the Mac 72.

    Set your metadata at all SFW, and you'll keep the printer to 300 dpi setting.  Oversampling a 72 ppi to 300 DPI file is very destructive and unnecessary.

    So just save your file again in SFW and simply select all as shown in the screenshot.

    Let me know how it went.
