Photoshop :: CS2 Imagemaker - Difference Between Dithered And Not Dithered
May 18, 2011
In CS2 imagemaker, when saving a gif file you have choices, what's the difference between dithered and not dithered? And when/where would you use these differing types of saved file.
Using CSS, I want to put a semi-transparent image over another image (by semi-transparent I mean a GIF in which alternating pixels are transparent - see attachment).
I drew this image basically pixel-by-pixel (via copy/paste), and it's ok as far as it goes, but what I REALLY want is for the density of opaque pixels to increase from left to right, so the effect when laid over an image is essentially that of a gradient. I DON'T want to have to draw this image pixel by pixel!
Whenever I try and accomplish this in Photoshop, it uses semi-transparent pixels which then become opaque when optimized. If I could figure out how to tell photoshop to build a gradient using only 1 color and no semi-transparent pixels (or barring that, white and another color and then I could delete the white...),
I've just loaded Corel Website Creator to a second pc -- a dell laptop. In page view, the Properties boxes are dithered -- see the screen cap below:

I don't see this anywhere else in the program or any other programs. All other screens in Corel WSC look find. Can't find any 'options' setup that seem to control this.
I downloaded CC version today, thinking it was going to upgrade/update CS6. Now I have both versions installed. I plan on removing CS6, assuming CC version is newer/better somehow.
Is there much difference between Photoshop 6.0 & Photoshop CS. I have Photoshop CS and was thinking of taking a Photoshop 6.0 class but wanted to know about the differences before spending the money.
I have been a Photoshop user forever. CS6 is very powerful. I have Lightroom 4 and just don't get why people flip over this. Is it just the library, knowing where you put things?
What is the difference between colors? On the left side is source PSD file, on the right is Exported/printed PDF file. There was the Adobe RGB (1998) printer/color profile. Is any better one? The same cases were occurred between light blue and light green. Both got darker. Here's the preview of the problem:
What the difference is between RGB and sRGB? Any website links that explain the whole colours/printing side of things in detail that would be handy as need to touch up on this knowledge.
I eventually want to physically print a comic book. The printer across the street basically said that commercial printing mean CMYK colors. So, should I simply create and save my work in CMYK, or use RGB and then convert, assuming that the colors translate perfectly each time? Is there an advantage to either way? Disadvantage?
When i use the standard colours Black/White then Difference Cloud its OK, but when i change the foreground colour to say Red the clouds turn Blue, or when i use Blue the clouds turn Brown. I have tried reinstalling and resetting the standard setup but to no avail it keeps on happening. Im new to Photoshop by the way, i am using PS7.
Im running CS2 with Windows Vista, the same photograph look completely different in Photoshop than in the Bridge or any other applications. My Working Spaces is set to:
I was wondering if there is a big difference in the CS6 over the older version of 5. I was looking to upgrade, but I only see the Creative Cloud as a monthly fee. I also noticed the Creative Suite. Is CS56 available as a stand alone upgrade, or do I need to got with teh Suite or Cloud.
I'm experimenting with a workflow, so whilst this may seem like an odd thing to want to make work, I have a genuine reason for doing what's described below:
I have Canon CR2 RAW files from a 7D, Photoshop CS6 13.01 64bit, with ACR 7.1.0.354, running on Windows 7 64bit.
1. I import a CR2 image via ACR, with no changes to any sliders; opening it as Adobe RGB (1998); 16bit 2. I then save the image as a TIFF file, leaving "ICC Profile: Abode RGB (1998)" selected in the Color section of the file save dialog 3. If I then close all files, and reopen the CR2 and TIFF image, they (as expected) appear to be identical 4. After closing all files again, I then open the CR2 and make an exposure adjustment (e.g. -1.00) 5. Using Bridge, I select the TIFF file, right click and select Open in Camera Raw. I make the same exposure adjustment as for the CR2 6. Now, the adjusted CR2 and adjusted TIFF are different. A colour shift is noticeable, and for a severe exposure change (i.e. +4.00) the shadow detail in the CR2 is a lot lighter
Here are two cropped areas from the files (with a 4 stop push), showing some branch/leaf and grass detail respectively. The TIFF has a greener colour cast for the grass, but much darker shadows:
TIFF
RAW
The CR2 is still a RAW file, and as such has the original Bayer pattern data, but is there any way I can make ACR adjustments to a TIFF (taken from a CR2) to behave in the same way as the original CR2?
The difference in document size between PS6 and Bridge 6. After the final editing, the picture (PSD) size will be say 85 MB in PS6. However, viewing the same picture in Bridge, or Windows Explorer, the size will be 150 MB.
I should also mention that the pictures were passed through LR4, then on to PS.
I'm running CS5.5 student edition on a brand new Asus Q500A laptop running Windows 8. i7 processor and a UMA graphics card. I do not have calibration software; I'm using Calibrize for the moment and colors appear fairly true when browsing after calibration.
My problem is that overall colors in Photoshop appear more saturated than those in regular browser windows, particularly reds. I set up my computer to run the Win8 photos app and my desktop with Photoshop simultaneously and the color difference was immediately noticeable. I did a quick screen grab to show the difference; the inset photo is the one viewed in Win8's photos app, and the background is the exact same photo open in Photoshop.
This is the second install of this program. I originally installed it on a Dell Inspiron with a DuoCore processor (way out of spec, I know - that's why I upgraded!) and I seem to remember having this issue then, too. I found a way to correct it, but I don't remember how I fixed it and Photoshop is no longer on that machine so I can't look over my settings.
