Photoshop :: CS Changes Pure Black Background When Saving As Jpg
Apr 29, 2012
CS5.5, Windows 7 64-bit (just in case that's needed) I have a layered PSD image. One layer is black (#000000). I flatten the image and sample the black area, and it is still pure black. I crop and resize the image - still black. I save as a jpg, and when I reopen the jpg, the black is no longer pure - (#010101).
This has started to happen to me recently, working across indesign and Photoshop, for some cutouts it is easier to have a "pure white" background (0%c, 0%m, 0%y, 0%k) rather than transparency, it keeps down file sizes and speeds up workflow etc - plus sometimes press images just come like that.
recently I have noticed that some images, despite being saved as a "pure white" background, are coming out with 1%c, 1%m, 1%y, 0%k backgrounds once I re-open them. Doesn't matter if I save, Save as, copy the image, duplicate it, I keep getting the 1% color back in. This is occasionally causing problems with printers.
in making my text Pure Black for printing purposes.
When changing the values of C,M,Y to 0 and K to 100 and applying it to the text, it makes it black but when you check the values again its not that, its different numbers.Is there a specifc way in doing this?
how to make the black portions of an image really black. My image looks nice and black on screen but prints a muddy gray. I've tried a few printers with pretty much the same muddy gray results.
while making black and white illustrations with photoshop: I can't make the background pure white! Even if I put the cmyk value as 0000 it changes it automatically to 0223 or something. You can't tell the difference on the screen, but in print this comes out as a very light grey, which pretty much destroys my work. I don't think the black is pure black either.
When i take bw laser print from corel draw, the output is not pure black. I tried using the the 'Preserve Pure Black' setting in corel draw. But it turns out to have some adverse effect while converting image from one format to the other (like rgb to cmyk) bitmaps, the black shade on the image looked washed out in multicolor offset print.
what should i do now to get pure black output from bw laser printer without using the preserve pure black setting.
The Recolor Artwork dialog does not replace the color of objects filled or stroked with pure black, either CMYK or RGB. (Yes, with the Recolor Art checkbox selected.) The dialog will replace any other color, but not black. Not even a manually created rich black. Manually selecting another color from the Color or Swatches panel does change the object's fill or stroke.
This happens with both CS6 and CS5 under Windows 7 x64. I reported it as a bug on the prerelease site. Also not sure if bug reports are still being read for the released version.
I have a light pink background behind an image which I would like to turn pure white. How can I select the image and white out the background without changing the image? None of the mask tools seem to have any effect.
I am saving a PDF from Illustrator CS4 that contains only 100% black text. My print provider is telling me that the text in the PDF has been converted to 4C, rich black. I have tried all different PDF creation settings (high quality, press quality, PDFX3, default) from Illustrator but nothing works. How can I create a PDF that maintains 100% black and prevents it from converting to process black?
I seem to be having problems when I lasso round a specific part of a photo taken with a white background and then try to add that part of the image to a plain #000000 black background.
I always seem to get a white outline around the image when I place it on the black background, even when its on ZERO feathered. I don't like using feathered as it adds a smudge round the outside of the image.
I have just purchased this upgrade software having used XARA Xtreme4.0 for many years.How can I change the black background screen with white writing to grey with black writing?
saving and opening up as a .tiff or .jpg the black has faded and becomes much more weak, why is this? This happens every so often when I'm working with files, but I don't know the reason, maybe a setting I need to tick?
-I created my event poster in CMYK, the darkest black I used was 75, 68, 67, 90 -I have 1 photo (background mountains) that was orginally RGB and converted to CMYK when brought in. -Tested merging all layers together and the outcome was fine, only after saving and viewing is it faded -Could this be a monitor issue, or even the settings in my "preview" that are throwing this off?

I have seen pictures with a total pitch black background,
how did they transformed a normal background into a pitch black background? Someone told me they used a photoshop so I browsed around but all I found was a tutorial on how to isolate a section of the photo and turn it into a black and white background which is not what I was after.
can you save with out a background? I created a symbol/logo type thing and deleted the background layer so all I see is the symbol and the transperant checkerboard. When I go to save this file it automaticlly fills in the extraspace as white. Unless I save it as a photoshop file. I know i have done this before for my website, i just cant remember. So, could you guide me through how to save this logo so only the logo appeared and not any white background.
I have installed Photoshop CS6 on a new computer i7 with Windows 8. When I open a photo in Photoshop and try to crop it, there is an intermittent black background that comes in front on the whole photo at each click of the mouse and you can't really see what you are doing.
For my senior graduating class, i need to come up with a label for a sweatshirt. by putting the words "Senior Dudes" in this Bud Light label, If possible, make the background black, make the blue thats in the font white, an the red thats in the font maroon.
I'm making a sig and I want to have the firetext overlapping the background image. But I want to know how to rid the black in the background and around the fire without erasing the shadows in the fire and making it look like I did so. I want it to look smooth if you know what I mean. Another way of putting what i want differently if you dont understand is I basically want all the black behind the fire and background pic transparent, without making the fire look crappy in the process.
I have about 40 images with jewellery that I need to remove all that black color without removing jewelleries shades. I have tried sevearl ways of deleting the actual background using background eraser tool, lasso tool etc but I just cant get to have my piece of jewellery look nice. I would like to have nice and clean borders,
How do you make the background of the image black without using bucket fill or colour variations. I need to keep this image quality high but would really like the background pitch black.
1. Was Editing a rather large and complex file, 16bit, 1,6GB 2. Pressed ctr+s to save the progress 3. Immediately launched a 3rd party plugin, Niksoft Define 2 (I mean with two keyboard shortcuts in a row, within seconds of each other) 4. Plugin started 5. Background saving got stuck at 0% and went nowehere as the plugin launched. 6. No progress on the background saving after the plugin exited, and not able to save as a new file because PS said it was already saving the file. After 20 minutes still no progress. Taskmanager showed PS using 0% CPU and no disk i/o activity even though it stated it was saving.
Workaround:
1. Duplicated the entire psb to a new file inside photoshop. 2. Saved and it worked fine. 3. Had to terminate photoshop via the task manager as it wouldnt let me exit "before file saving was complete".
My workflow here was probably a bit quick and "inconsiderate", but I would still consider this behaviour a PS bug - I mean whats the use of background saving if it stalls when you are doing other tasks. (OS W7 x64+PS CS6 EXT)
I have made an image which I am planning on using for my website's logo. Now it was a png at first but decided to go for a .gif in the end.
Yet when i save the image even though the layers I want to save only take up a very top part of my image (the other layers are there to template my website so I know how it looks)....
Because the image is 800x1000 yet the logo is much smaller than this.. when i save the layers which are put as visible from the layer window I get an image file which is 800 by 1000 in size and just the logo up the top.. below it is just blank see through nothingness but it is acting as if the image is there.
Kinda like: |----logo-----| blank blank blank blank |end of image|
I want it to just be only: |---logo----|
And nothing else. Is there a way to save just certain layers from the layers window?
So I was using Photoshop (CS5) when I was told that our power would have to be momentarily turned off due to work being done in our kitchen. Anyway, I saved my project and closed photoshop and then the power was turned off (I did not properly shut down Windows).
When I got back onto Photoshop I tried opening the project I was working on to find that all of the layers were gone and it only showing a black background canvas. When I click on the project once in the open window, it shows a thumbnail of the image as it should be and how it was saved, but when I open it it only shows a black background.
I do have another copy from not too far back but I have lost a few hours of work which I'd obviously prefer not to redo.
When I open a picture in photoshop, any picture, I see the picture and all around it is a background color. It has nothing to do with the picture or any work being done on the picture. This has to do with the color that comes up on the screen regardless of the picture. It was black and I hit something and it is now blue. I want this to go back to black.
I tryed clicking on the link below, selecting black for a background color and clicking and nothing changes.
