Photoshop :: Black (or White) Box Appearing On Photos Sometimes When Zooming In And Out?
Nov 5, 2013
I just recently upgraded to Adobe Photoshop CC and something really odd is happening: On some zoom levels I have this empy black or white box appearing. When I zoom in or out it disappears, or reappears.
However, when I save the file as a JPEG, or bring it into Google Nik it is OK. It's almost like there is a software bug, or a bad memory spot in my video card.
I have been experiencing a 2" black or white square while zooming that stays on image at that zoom ratio. I use Topaz Adjust and NIK software. If I save file and reopen it's gone!
I've seen tons of photos in black and white that look spectacular. I have a feeling a lot are taken with black and white film, but some must be turned b/w! My question then is how do you achieve this awesome b/w in photoshop? For a while I just turned it grayscale (i know, i know.) Then I just desaturated. And recently someone told me to make a hue/sat adjustment layer and play with each of the different shades. After playing with all these ways I haven't been able to get the effects I want. I tried browsing around looking for a picture that embodies what I want just in case...And I finally decided to just give you a site, I love this photographer and the ways she uses b/w and other tons!
Recently I scanned many old black and white photos to my computer. I wanna colorize some of them. I do have experience of using photoshop, but what I need is the best way to colrize a black and white photo, [like using photoshop channels etc..]
I have a photo of my brother's hand wearing a wedding band. I would like to have the whole photo in black and white except his wedding band, which is golden in color.
I use Lightroom 2.2 to import and convert RAW photos from my Panasonic Lumix LX3 to DNG files. Works great except for one thing:
If I shot a photo using the LX3's 'Black and White Dynamic' preset, Lightroom imports it and a few seconds later, the photo becomes colored (really yellow) instead of remaining black and white.
That's weird since I don't use any Lightroom preset when importing these photos. It seems like Lightroom is applying some type of auto-correction to these photos.
I would like to get some variety of photos looking like they were taken during the civil war era. This would include white specks, black splotches, blurred edges, irregular black edges, etc. I have looked for ways in which to accomplish this and have not been successful at this.
Currently, I am using the following to varying degrees: Sepia Toning/Black and White, Blur, Salt and Pepper noise, and Vignette.
I wanted to make a decal to place on the acrylic window of my PC. I found the perfect picture, which is in black and white. For it to look right though, I need to switch the black to white, and vice versa. Is there a way with Photoshop to automatically switch these, instead of having to manually switch them.
I'm having a strange issue in Photoshop CS6 at the moment. Not sure when it started or what's causing it! It seems that when I bring in certain colors, Photoshop interrupt them as black, however if I output the file as a JPEG (or any file-type for that matter), they appear fine. It just means it's impossible to color anything in PS as it all looks mad!
I first noticed the issue when opening a specific files, but I've now found I can actually recreate it in certain files with adjustment filters, the easiest way to demonstrate seems to be to crank up the saturation. For example;
Original Image: Output Image (w/ saturation at +68): Image as in Photoshop (w saturation at +68):
I'm running Photoshop CS6 Extended (13.1.2 x64) on Windows 7 Pro 64-Bit. I'm running hardware acceleration on my ATI Radeon 7850, but turning it on or off makes no difference. The problem is also present on all color profiles, although for clarity I'm currently on the Europe General Purpose 3 preset. I'm aware I could be being an idiot here and turned some feature on that I didn't know about, but I just can't work out what's going on! I have another install of Photoshop CS6 at my other workplace, this time running on Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leapord - that doesn't seem to suffer any issues, but this machine is more important!
when drawing digitally with my intuos3 tablet in photoshop cs6: When I am doing actions in Photoshop like making strokes with the brush tool or using the hand tool, occasionally black dots appear and disappear on the screen (like black pixels).They appear at a random location and in a random number and disappear after my next action and so on and so on.This also happens when using just the mouse, without the tablet so I don't think the problem is the tablet.I tried reinstalling the video card drivers with the newest and the problem stayed... although I'm not sure if I was using the same drivers before or not and I have this slight suspision that when my video card drivers were automatically updated, that's when it all started. should I try searching for older video card drivers..I tried reinstalling the tablet drivers with newer,
My PC configuration is Intel Core i3-3220 CPU 3.30 GHz, 8GB RAM Kingston HyperX, Sapphire Radeon 7870 HD 2GB GHz Edition, Motherboard - ASUS P8H77-V and I'm running on Windows 7 64-bit.
First Photo is viewed in Adobe Bridge (Print Screen Image). Second Photo is viewed in Photoshop (Print Screen Image) Third Photo is saved as JPEG in Photoshop (Print Screen Image) - Notice no strange black pixels
There's no consistency in crop but why am I seeing these strange black pixels and why do they disappear when saved as jpeg or same photo viewed in different viewing software?
I have a county-wide SID image file that I've attached to a street line drawing. It was working fine until this morning. Now, when I zoom in the image (all or most of it) goes completely black. Zooming into different areas of the image results in either the image being visible or blacked out...no real rhyme or reason. Of course, the area I need to address right now is entirely blacked out.
Examples attached: same scale, image is visible but then I pan to the right and it goes black....
I scanned a black and white print in color and am trying to replace all the black with dark green. Been trying for hours in elements 9. This is all so hard. Just to ask this question I have typed it into 3 different screens, set screenname, many other hurdles.
following image shows up fine on WIndows machines, but on Macs it shows up as balck instead of navy, why? I have tried svaing in PDF, JPG, PNG, and PDF nwith Mac color profiles... what is going on? PS, the navy is #0d1125
I have a multilayered psd file. All layers should remain opaque except the black to white gradient layer where I need the white to be transparent. So that when I place the final psd on top of a block of solid colour in Indesign the gradient shows the background colour through where the black fades off.
I'm using PSE8. I was using Filter>Render>Clouds and it was working for me. I must have done something because the clouds that are rendered are black & white not Blue and white. My photo is of course a color image. How I can correct this or what I need to do to get back to the default setting that will render blue & white instead of black and white?
I Keep having this reoccuring problem today - white lines keep appearing attatched to certain & all layers in photoshop files that I have, the only solution that seems to get rid of them is to put a mask on the layer and mask the line away, these are appearing on text, smart objects & rastersized layers.
They were not there when I previously saved the file and they should not be there now, I then went to open another file I had and white lines started to appear on the files. This is really frustrating because some of the website documents have alot of layers. I have attatched an example below, they only appear to be 1 pixel and can range up to 2500pixels wide and they overlap making the line look thicker sometimes.
I made a logo using elements. I have tried numerous ways to make it transparent but when I put it on my pictures there is a white square box that appears with it. I want my whole logo to be transparent. I have saved it png, png 24. And still nothing works. How to get this box to disappear. Just to make sure I wasn't doing something wrong I took a photo and made the background transparent and took the selection that was not and put it into a different photo and the white square edge was still around it.
I've constructed a logo that consists of several shapes that but up against each other. The sides that touch one another are completely flat. When I zoom in, the objects are touching, if not overlapping in some cases. This is okay as it is very small.
However when I save it as a pdf document to sent to a client, those thin lines between the shapes appear much more pronounced. It looks as if I have intentionally put a .5 stroke line between each object.
