Much darker than Photoshop PNG Word/PowerPoint colors

Hello

Can someone explain why a PNG seems so dark when they are imported into Word/PowerPoint? Bottom left is the appearance of the original in Photoshop. Everything is good. But when he goes into Word or PowerPoint, it darkens considerably. Curiously, it's also how it presents in preview in the Finder under Mac OS. So I guess it's just how the system and the word preview images, but it would be nice if there is consistency.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

It's all pretty simple: when you have no color management - and you don't have MS Office - you must create the file in sRGB. Assignment of profiles later in Photoshop or elsewhere, will do nothing. RGB numbers must be sRGB first.

The reason is that most screens are near sRGB natively and therefore shows the files right about sRGB even without no color management.

What is the embedded profile, is useless and irrelevant here. The profile will be just ignored anyway. In the color management software, it's different of course, but it wasn't the issue.

So you can make the logo in Illustrator and export without profile - make sure that Amnesty International color settings are defined in sRGB (and that the file is in RGB mode).

  • Image display bottom much darker than they are

    I always liked Firefox. As a web designer and developer, FF has proved to be my favorite browser over and over again; However, since I've upgraded to the latest version of FF 6.0 beta, all background images on my html files saved on my PC screen a lot, much, much darker than they really are. IE normal poster and this is the first time that I had problem with FF and IE not. Please address. Also, FF also added in random around the anchor points when borders I hover over them.

    This may be due to a problem with the profile for your monitor screen colors or color profiles embedded in images.

    You can disable color management to test this.

    You can set the pref to 0 on the subject gfx.color_management.mode: configuration page to disable color management.

    You have to close and restart Firefox for the changes to take effect.

  • I have a lot of trouble recently with colors of the range. My software is updated, my system is calibrated with Datacolor, as in many years with her, but now I norticed much more than before out-of-gamut color images when checking this. Do not print.

    I have a lot of trouble recently with the release of the color range in Photoshop CC. The software is updated. I used to the Datacolor years to calibrate the system, and it worked well always. But now I noticed that I have a lot more images with out-of-gamut colors, and it prints wrong. Is this a problem with Adobe? The rest of my equipment is the same. Any help? I'd appreciate comments. Thank you, Emilio.

    First, the range warning applies to the proof profile that you put in place, under test format. If this is not the profile that you want to print with, there is no relevance.

    Second, range warning is a very large and imprecise indication, and I would just turn off. It shows what is out of range, but not how much. There are better ways, like proofing (even once, test format, toggle with ctrl + Y).

    You can also convert a copy of the file to print your profile and look at the histogram. If you have severe cuts, you can adjust the file accordingly.

    Third, there are people who feel the effect of threshold is best handled by the profile. In other words, doing nothing, just convert and done. I'm not one of them, just thought I would mention it.

    ------------------

    Just to put us all on the same page, here are the basics:

    There are three different color profiles here. The document profile, the profile of the monitor and the printer/paper/ink profile. If all of these profiles are good, the results will be consistent and predictable.

    So to start with the document profile. These are important parameters in the PS color settings dialog box:

    It can't be Adobe RGB, but there must be a standard color space (sRGB, Adobe RGB or ProPhoto).

    Then the monitor profile. The Spyder software everything for you, and Photoshop uses this profile to display the file. You don't need to do anything once the software ran - it is all set up automatically.

    You can check in Windows color management has the right profile is configured by default:

    Thirdly, the profile of the printer. It's one that refers to the book as "Xxx of Epson Premium glossy", or all that apply. You choose this profile in the dialog box print in Photoshop, and then you go in the printer driver ("settings") and ensure that color management is turned off it. You don't want a double color management.

    If it withdraws, and it still does not seem good, get back with more details.

    Oh, by the way - have you got your NEC monitor with Spectraview calibration software included? If you did, it is greatly preferable to the Spyder software for reasons more than I have space to list here. You can still use the Spyder probe, at least if it's generation 3, 4 or 5. Earlier versions are notoriously few reliable and also not designed for wide gamut displays.

  • Printed photographs are always darker than on screen

    I use Photoshop CS 6 on a Mac Mini with Mountain Lion (10.8.5). I calibrated my screen very carefully. When I print pictures, I set always Photoshop manage colors, or substitute the color settings in the printer.

    I used to use a XP-750 Epson inkjet printer. In Photoshop, I use the profiles associated with this printer - and, of course, with the paper I print on - but I've always found that the prints were much darker than their appearance on the screen. I assumed that it was a whim of my printer.

    After an extreme paper jam had irreparably damaged the printer, I bought a printer Epson XP - 760 (although similar) which replaces the XP-750. To my surprise, the printed photos are always much darker than their appearance on the screen.

    Can anyone suggest a reason and a cure? When Photoshop is set to manage colors, can't change the settings of color-management of the printer itself.

    Words: calibration targets. Your screen is too bright, classic mistake.

    You can set the white screen point so that it is a Visual white paper correspondence. This applies to the color and luminance. This is a purely visual thing, according to ambient light, print look a light, even application interface (light grey classic being much better than the new interface is dark). You should see the white paper on the screen.

    Some people will tell you specific numbers, such as 120 cd/m². This is the wrong approach. Get this game and fall numbers wherever he wishes. It may be 80 or 160 can be.

    If you have a high monitor range with internal hardware to READ from the monitor calibration, you can leave the calibration software handle it. Otherwise, it is best to do this in the OSD controls. Once satisfied, run the calibration software, preferably set to the native white point if possible so that there is no additional setting on the video card.

    It also applies, BTW, to black. It must match the density of ink for paper max.

  • Top of the screen darker than the background

    It seems to only be visible on a completely blank page with brightness as low as possible, but I noticed the top of my screen Moto X is never so much darker than the lower part. Initially, I thought that some applications use some background gradients, but test with a white screen, I have confirmed it is not the case.

    Should I return it? It's an artifact of something on the phone? :/

    If it is too hard to notice as you say, I think that it is not a question of device. However, only you can determine if it is quite disturbing to replace/repair. There is probably no device so perfect that he didn't have a tiny but real Variant that someone would find it impossible to bear.

  • Lightroom displays files and exports darker than the original or Photoshop files

    Hi all.

    Let me first preface this by saying I'm not technical interest, and I know nothing (or very little) of CHF etc. profiles.

    But suppose a person will try to tell me to do something with them in a really technical way that I don't understand, please treat me like a child of 4 years in this regard.

    I use Lightroom 5.6 on a Mac under 10.9.4 I Photoshop CS6 and fitted with a calibration Spyder 3pro device and all the Adobe programs linked to the exit of calibration to ensure 'if all is well' quality control.

    I recently was analog film scanning and this import in Lightroom 5. I noticed that the file import always seems darker than the original.

    When I exported from Lightroom, them they look like shit.

    There were no imports of additional parameters because they are all extinct. I did when I installed LR.

    I also noticed that whenever I imported a Raw file for some reason, on the original file would look great for a second then when clicked would change to something less attractive. But I digress.

    So try to show what's happening. I created some images to illustrate my problem.

    Also, it doesn't matter if I turn the proofing or disable.

    Clues because it is very annoying and yet 5 Lightroom unusable.

    These files are probably in grayscale without an included icc profile. Photoshop, using the parameters that show you will pay 15% dot gain profile. Lightroom assumes the sRGB which is much more mixed. You can see this difference in the massively different histograms. What you need to do is save the file from Photoshop with included icc profile. Lightroom should display the same.

    Note a bug of color management nasty exist in Lightroom on Mavericks in the Panel to develop: Jao photo blog: quantification of the problem of management of the Mavericks color also which make the deep shadows Cap upward.

    It seems to me that when you open an image in Photoshop (b & w), it appears much brighter than for example

    Photoshop is not a fully color managed display pipeline, other applications.

    Which means that Photoshop converts the profile document incorporated into your monitor profile, on the fly, and these corrected values are sent to the screen.

    Other applications simply throw the RGB values in the file directly on the screen with no correction.

    If you still think Photoshop will not, basic troubleshooting is to confirm that the document profile and the profile of the monitor are present and correct. If there is a problem with one of these, Photoshop does not display correctly.

    A monitor with a standard profile. If you don't have one, sRGB IEC61966 - 2.1 is often close enough for most non-critical uses.

  • Satellite A80 - Microsoft Word / Powerpoint / Frontpage get suddenly closed

    Hello

    I've just updated Microsoft Office in my Toshiba Satellite A80, MS Office 97 to MS Office XP, and it is not working properly.

    The problem is that MS Word, Powerpoint, and Frontpage get suddenly closed as soon as I type anything. Excel and Access are working perfectly. I Don t understand that is the problem.

    Please find below some information on my laptop:

    -Model: Satellite A80-135 MS
    -OS: Windows XP Home Edition 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2
    -Bios: v1.50
    -CPU: Processor Intel Pentium M 1.6 Ghz

    Could someone help me with this?

    Thank you very much

    This isn't a laptop problem, but certainly something wrong with your Microsoft software.
    In addition the Toshiba laptops are not delivered with Microsoft Office software.

    I think you should contact Microsoft technical support for more details.

    A hint; I recommend reinstall the MS Office XP again. Do not update from Office 97 to Office XP, but perform a new installation.

    After the new installation, refer to the MS Update site and install all belonging to Office XP updates

  • Save the PNG as gray color space

    Hi all

    I searched high and low for a good answer to that, but no luck so far:

    I have a file I want to save as a mask for an application.

    The image must be:

    Format: PNG

    Space color: gray

    Alpha channel: No.

    I put the following to my file HAVE: the effects of rasterization of the Document settings: Colormode: grayscale

    I changed my Edit-> Edit colors-> convert to grayscale (but the text "Convert to grayscale" don't is not grayed out next time I look at the menu problem?)

    I then save the file to the Web, and devices such as a PNG-24 or PNG - 8 (gray scale, no dithering) but no matter how I save the information file indicates always that the 'color space' of the file is of type RGB. I can't save the file with a space color: gray.

    I'm doing something wrong, but what?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Kind regards

    Hello, TopDog16!

    Welcome to congratulations on getting a new iPhone and Apple support communities 7.  From what I see in your post, you have any questions on the stereo speakers in your new iPhone.  I would be happy to help you with that!

    Indeed, your iPhone has holes on both right and left sides on the lower edge (on each side of the connector of the Lightning).  The holes on the right are only speaker on this edge of the phone, however.  The other speaker in the pair is at the top of the phone, where the cut is, just above the screen.  Check here to see if sound comes out.
