My displaced images look VERY bad, still have history of dev!

I used Lr under WinXP.  I backed up all my data Lr, formatted the drive and installed Win7.  I have installed Lr 2.7, moved all my presets, catalogs, images, etc. and relinked, so my catalog and such look just as they did.  All my processed images always have the complete list of changes, which I can not forward and backward at all as you can imagine.

The problem is THAT ALL my processed images look VERY far out of how they used to be seen in Lr but isn't when exporting!  Here is an example of an image that has been processed before the move:

before.jpg

Here is the same image AFTER the move, as we see in Lr (it is a screenshot):

after.jpg

I tried to remove and re-rendered previews, which seems to have no effect.  To my surprise, export the image works PERFECTLY and looks exactly as it should!  It is only to the INTERIOR of Lr that image looks like crap.

What really obvious thing I'm missing?

My guess is the calibration of the screen. Likely you have a bad monitor on the old or the new operating system profile, or perhaps even on the two. The screen calibration is essential. If you do not have one (an essential tool for digital photographers) calibrator you should delete the profile indicated in the color management tab in the properties of the display pane and then run out and buy a calibrator.

    I bought a picture, under images under license there still have the watermark on it. Help, please

    Hi Lisa,

    If you look at these images under license on the website of stock, they will appear as a watermark. However, if you save on the office/MyLibrary, then open, you should not see the watermark.

    Let me know how it goes.

    Anyone out there ever run in this challenge?

    Help, please.

    I can't mine look bad like yours.  With the default settings, except recovery = 100 and contrast = 100, I still don't see the Posterization, nor the Greens you see, even though the colors are a bit strong with the contrast parameter.  If you have changed more things than recovery and perhaps contrast, maybe post these parameters.

    Is it allowed in ACR and then just bad in Photoshop or it's bad in the same way ACR?

    I wonder if you have a monitor profile only bad Photoshop is fully using and problems with?  If you are on a balanced system, you could temporarily set your monitor profile sRGB (or maybe AdobeRGB if on a Mac) and see if the changes of the Photoshop image.

    I have attached a yours/mine of screen showing what I see when I max on recovery and contrast in an attempt to replicate what yours looks like.  I used LR to better document conversion settings, but I also tried in ACR 5.5 and Photoshop and really don't see much of a difference if it... where the two should be using the ACR 5.5 engine.

  • Pictures still have very bad quality

    Hello

    First of all, I'm all new premier adobe.

    Now, I have a couple of very high quality images that are somewhere around 1100 x 1600 pixels.

    I'm on a mac and when I open these jpgs in the preview, they are fantastic, but after importation in the Prime Minister and adding them to my sequence, they lose crazy amounts of quality and a very bad image.

    Why is that happening and how can I solve this problem?

    Thank you

    LagMaster

    Yes, you have the video part correct... This map is roughly equivalent with mine except with half the RAM... but to manage a 480 p sequence should be quite adequate.

    Big question... Why is your sequence only 480 p? Yes, PrPro isn't always down at the level of the best, well some people seem to use it better that way I could. Still... taking an image of 1600 x 1100 pix and reject up to 480 throws a way a LOT of resolution. When you have moving images, you do not notice things so much... but a picture pixel for pixel who sits there for a while, to 480 p unless you view from a distance (remote TV 6 feet or better) or in a small part of a typical computer monitor, it will not be particularly detailed...

  • SVE14123CNB with camera of 64-bit windows 8 is to give a very bad image quality.

    My sony vaio SVE14123CNB with camera of 64-bit windows 8 is to give a very bad image quality.

    I have compained several times to sony, but they said that there is problem with windows 8 and this laptop model.

    I think that this response is not the solution to the problem, as it is my work that still hinder once. This laptop has with exmor HD webcam, so we expect the quality of the picture from the webcam to be strong, but it is dark, blurry, vary hard to identify someone even. It is even lower than some old VGA cam.

    Please provide a rigid solution.

    Hello krishna_18,

    The most common cause of this problem is a poorly lit room.  Please try to use the camera in well-lit areas.  Since there is no light or flash on the camera device, it is not able to work as well in dark situations.

    As to the answer before someone gave you "problem with Windows 8";  What they probably meant is that this laptop does not come with any software the camera included.  Therefore, the "Camera" app Windows 8 is what is natively provided and used.  This application is very limited in options and resolution.  Using an alternative app camera of your choice can also improve options, parameters, and results.

  • Satellite L755D - Webcam: very bad image quality?

  • Backlight problem Tecra A2 - image is very small

    Hello
    I have a Tecra A2 with a backlight problem.
    The LCD displays properly, but without any backlight, the image is very low.

    When the laptop is started is turned perfectly for about 3 seconds before turning off. Boots of portable code and can be used with an external monitor. If I close it now the backlight of the laptop turns on for a few seconds before turning off again. I tried a new Backlight Inverter which had no effect. Sensor lid closed is the magnetic type (no doubt a reed relay) and measure 100Kohms when open? and 0 ohms when closed.
    This 100K would be the problem?

    Everyone knows one of these symptoms or matter that has any backlight data converter, I wonder if I have a second faulty inverter.

    This could be a faulty back light FL problem?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You're just Philip.

    For me, it looks like the defective inverter FL too
    You said that the display on the external monitor looks fine. So we can eliminate a GPU fault.

    I think that your should contact the ASP in your country. The technician must check the defective part (probably FL inverter) and need to replace it with a new, compatible.

    > I wonder if I have a second faulty inverter
    I see you've already replaced the inverter a FL and the issue still seems hmm to be honest, I think you used a bad, but who knows that nothing is impossible.

    Then ask the technician to ASP for later handling

    Best regards and good luck

  • photos look different (bad) when placed in InDesign CS4

    I have a problem because my photos look frowned upon in InDesign. I work on my photos, until they look perfect in Photoshop - with just the right color balance and tone - but when I put in ID, they look much darker and more red or saturated. Then I look in Photoshop again, and they look very good. What gives? A program that shows the actual status of the photo? BTW, the pictures are using the same color profile in the two programs and the monitor is unchanged b & w viewings.

    I wonder if anyone has had a similar experience and what I can do about it? It makes me very nervous to see my pictures looking so bad in InDesign, where I prepare my layouts for offset printing. They will print as I see them in Photoshop or they will print as I see them in InDesign (which is terrible)? At this point, I am reluctant to make other adjustments and hoping that it is the view of Photoshop which is correct.

    But why is it happening in the first place? Is there a setting I should be fixing? Or is there an issue or incompatibility black and white Photoshop and InDesign color I know of?

    I use ID and Photoshop CS4 on Mac OS x 10.4.11

    Hope someone out there can help me with this problem.

    Thanks in advance!

    Scarlett

    In Indesign all that you see is an overview of your images, it is a proxy of low quality, used only for the purposes of the layout.

    However, you can get a better overview by choosing View-> display-> display high quality performance. But it is still not as good as what you see in photoshop. Do not despair. As long as you have not all the missing links or changed in your links palette, your images will be printed as you see them in PS (or as close as you can get).

  • Tray D7560: very bad quality photo printer

    I have a HP Photosmart D7560 h which has served me well.  However, the Photo tray for 6 x 8 prints became very bad now.  However, printing from the regular status bar continues to be very good.  I tried to print the image of the 8 1/2 X 11 tray and it is excellent.  The same image of the photo tray is still very poor.  I even put regular in paper in the photo tray and printing is still poor.  Again the impression is very good if the print of the tray of 8 1/2 x 11.

    Y at - it suggestions for this problem?

  • First elements 10 video playback is very bad and rough

    When I look at my Prime Minister mts files to 10 items, the video is really bad. But when I watch the same videos with windows media player, that they look very well. Any idea on how I can get my videos to look good in first elements? I have a new high-end computer.

    You must use Premiere Elements to get the support of your camcorder to your computer, Don - not the software that came with your camera and certainly not Windows MovieMaker. You want to keep the video in its "native" format, and Premiere Elements will do.

    Just follow my instructions above and you'll be fine.

    Regarding the video, you have already captured as WMVs, it is possible, you can still use them in Premiere Elements - but you are going to have performance issues you encounter. Then you can actually be wise to carry out this project in Windows MovieMaker, the only product that is perfect for use WMVs as your edition files.

  • iTunes movies Streaming gets interrupted from time to time... very bad movies

    Since I switched to AppleV 4th generation, downloaded movies get interrupted frequently during playback. I have uploaded a local NAS, who has always worked in the past and the stream via WiFi or Ethernet (tried both, same result).

    It started with Apollo 13, that I had long conversations with the iTunes Store support on. They have money back and asked me to re-download, but the same "stutters" occur, sometimes for a second, sometimes for 10 seconds or more, make films very bad.

    iTunes Store support sent to the AppleTV support and I've read that others have reported the same or similar behavior.

    Am running 9.1 tvOS (just updated today, in fact, so do not know if the behavior above has been fixed to 9.1). Model AppleTV is A1625 (64 GB).

    I should add that the same movies work well when directly looked on a Mac, it seems that streaming to the AppleTV is the problem somehow...
