Photoshop :: Colors In CS6 Completely Messed Up
Jun 20, 2013
My colors are completely off in photoshop from the real image. I've already checked to make sure it's not the monitor, the color is fine there. I've already read the forums that say to simply turn on "Proof Colors." That does changes the colors how they should be. HOWEVER, if I try and export the file out as a png or anything, they are exported with the messed up color rather than the "proof colors." BUT if I open the image up in microsoft paint, it appears to be right, but only with paint. If I open the image with anything else (reader, indesign, picaso, etc.), the color is always messed up. I even tried exporting the png to someone else thinking it was just my computer, no luck. For some reason, I can't export anything without it using crazy colors (just like if "proof colors" was unchecked). I've tried deleting preferance and playing around with the color settings. What can I do?
here's my spects:
Windows 8
2013 Asus Laptop
Photoshop CS6

I had been using VSX2 on my old computer (XP Home OS) and saving my projects as .flv files for uploading to Youtube with no issues. Last spring I put together a new computer which I thought would be much better and faster at rendering the files. The new computer uses Windows 7 64 bit and I applied the VSX2 patch for Windows 7. When I save a project as a .flv file on the new computer the audio in the resulting file is totally messed up, just hisses, pops and crackles. The video looks fine. Saving projects in other video formats seems to work okay.
I recently got back into wanting to post video to Youtube and have been trying to figure out what is causing the audio problem. I purchased the upgrade to VSX3, assuming that would fix it but the results are still the same. I do have other software that will not run on Windows 7 so I have set my computer up to dual boot with XP Pro. As an experiment, after I upgraded the Windows 7 OS to VSX3 I installed the redundant copy of VSX2 on the XP Pro OS. I then used the same original files from the camcorder to re-create as nearly as I could the same project as I had been trying to make with the W7 VSX3 on the XP VSX2 version. The file produced in XP works perfectly with no audio issues.
As a side note, the file size of the same project produced in W7 VSX3 is almost double the file size produced in XP VSX2. I am "Create Video File" as FLV (640x480). I see from another thread that I may be better to be saving as FLV(320x240) although that doesn't make sense to me. I am not very knowledgeable about the different formats and their uses. I did produce one series as mp4 files but the video quality seemed to be poorer than the way I had been doing it.

I'm having a little problem with Photoshop cs.
When I start a new image and paste from my clipboard the image shows up looking very red. I'm not sure what the problem is. I've messed around with the color presets and color modes but nothing seems to help.
I'm using the RGB color mode 16bit.

So my whites and grays and everything are PERFECT everywhere but in Photoshop. Granted I don't have a hardware calibration tool, only software, but I've used nVidia's tool as well as several others, and everything is fine, except when I go into CS5. For example, the whites on this page are perfectly fine. However, in CS5 the white is cream colored.
Is there something specific to CS5 that is independent of my monitor as well as every other application that I own that makes it cream? It didn't used to be like this, so I don't know what changed.

there's a sharp transition after the smooth one (transition end and fill color doesn't match)... What is configured wrong? in the gradient settings, there's only one color, and gradient midpoints are also in the middle...

My font settings is messed up in my Photoshop 7. If I put it on size 6pt it looks like it is size 12. And when I put it on size 12 it looks like it is size 24 pt. And it gets a jaggy! I tried reinstalling it but it's still there.

Something happened to my photoshop that messes up the fonts. They all look like caps when I type (no I don't have capslock on :P). Not the seize (they are normal seize) but the form of the letters. ie. all my a's look like A, not a and all my e's look like E, not e. Very different form and because of this my curly fonts etc. look very ugly and unclear now.

My new installed copy of Photoshop CS6 has a few problems:
1. When you go to save as the file formats selections are not what you get. For instance jpeg gives you EPS. Multi Picture Format gives you jpeg. What gives?
2. One of the plugins that worked fine under filters is missing. When I copied the things from the old CS5 plugins folder to CS6 folder it still is not showing up..

I've somehow managed to completely mess up my color profiles in Photoshop CS5. What a total Gormlops I am.
1 - ACR displays colours from RAW files as lifeless and dull compared to JPEG. I've searched countless forums and I'm lead to understand that RAW files don't include the 'in-camera' processing that we see on the JPEGS. What I don't understand is that ACR used to display the colors on my RAW files exactly like it did with JPEG files so although I understand the difference in the way ACR handles RAW vs JPEG why has this only become noticeable in the last few months? I've had this installation of CS5 for almost 2 years and the problem crept in only recently.
2 - Proof Colors Confusion
I mostly work on the web and rarely need to print. Round about the same time the above problem reared it's ugly head I also started having issues with how many graphics colours looked in CS5. I realized that half of the time I was working with 'Proof Colours' switched off which made my colours really intense (something to do with gamma).
I checked my 'Proof Setup' and switched it to Internet sRGB seeing as I mostly work with web graphics and photos. I then hit Ctrl+Y to switch on Proof Colours and now I see the colours as they really are.
My question for this is twofold - Am I correct to be working in sRGB and is there ar way to have 'Proof Colours' always switched on so that I only EVER see the 'actual' colours that others will see when I publish my files to the web?
These two issues arose at the same time and are linked. I tried installing a demo of CS6 in the hopes it would set me back to where I used to be but alas nothing changed.

I recently purchased cs4 to update from CS3 and I have installed it without problem. But when I open my images they appear in different shapes and most of them are barely visible due to a crosshatch pattern on them. I can't figure out what is wrong with them its not my computer because i never had a problem with CS3.

I accidentally had my files marked at 16 bits/channel, went ahead and saved them as jpegs. Got a software prompt prior to saving that said "File must be saved as a copy with this selection." I did not know what it meant. I went ahead with the save. Now I am realizing my mistake because I have tried printing my images at a lab and the colors are WAY off. Very gray and horrible. I have my master files saved as psd files as well and have opened those, changed the bits/channel to 8, tried to print and the colors are still awful. I have many files that were saved this way. There has to be some kind of a fix without me having to re-edit dozens and dozens of photos.

My open dialog box is messed up, as the Enable: is always set to nothing! I do have an althernate plug-in dir set in preferences (I do not want to reinstall all my 3rd party plugs from CS 5.1!) So what to do? If I remove the old plug dir from preferences, I loose my plugs but get Enable to work right!

I have cropped some pics during the editing process and when I go to print them out the pixels are really messed up. I am using a Nikon D3100. Maybe I am saving them wrong or something. I am saving them as JPEG.

I have a weird texture issue in Softimage.When viewing my model in softimage, everything looks fine. However, when I export to FBX and re-import, half the model texture looks messed up; while the UVs look fine in the viewport:
image1
When I look closely, I notice that the UVs have somehow been rotated in such a way that they look fine, but the edges are all rotated wrongly (the seams don't match up anymore and I can't island select areas)
image2
Exporting to .obj doesn't seem to give this issue, but this is not a good solution as I may need to animate the robot in the very near future...

I think I started noticing this problem in 2013, but not sure. It's definitely happening in 2014 still.Basically I import an obj file. It looks fine, but there are a few parts grouped together. I grab them by selecting element, and detach. Boom! Now the normals are all messed up on the detached object.
and the same thing happens often when attaching other objects. Sometimes the normals just get flipped completely around even.

I deleted a lot of old photos from my external hard drive, which seems to have messed up my link of some photos to LR. When I got on yesterday, one huge wedding collection showed the "offline or missing ?" thing but still showed the actual photo. In trying to re-link the photos to LR, I think I did two things that royally messed me up. I opened up an older catalog, which had the large wedding collection, but it now turned up the photos as totally blank. The collection still shows 2000+ photos in it, and each photo shows the little symbols that show which have been edited, and they still show the ? in the top corner, but no photo.how to reconnect the photos without messing more photos up?

what I do is design one half of my design first. When I like what I have I duplicate that part of the design and then mirror it horizontally. I then save the file. Close out of the program. Turn it back on the next day, and some of my gradients are now messed up on the side that was mirrored.
As you can see the left snippet is how it should look, the right mirrored snippet's gradients should match but the don't. Some of the gradient. (not all of them though). It's really bizarre. It doesn't happen often, the only times I can remember it happening is when working on really large complex designs. Oh also, it is effecting gradient fills and transparency linear gradients.

When I import photos via 'File / Get Photos and Videos / From Files and Folders ...' they appear as individual photos in the 'Getting Media' box but when the import is complete they all appear the same - a grey background with an hourglass figure. How do I get the completed import to display the individual photos?

Its a large file, so i shut down photoshop and then started it back up, like i do all the time. However when photoshop started up again my file i had been working on all week was gone. It could be seen in the recent files, but when i clicked it it said it couldnt find it. So i go to the directory where it should be, and, yup, its gone.
Not in the recycle bin, not anywhere on the drive after many exhaustive searches, and i cant even find it using a disk recovery tool. I have tried recuvra, which took over 2 hours, and nothing. It is completely and absolutely gone, taking away a weeks worth of work with it. I actually need this for tomorrow, but dont have anywhere near enough time to create it from scratch again.

How do i completely remove all traces of Photoshop CS3 Extended from my computer so that i can reinstall it with my new serial number? This is a full retail version used on a Windows XP system.

I recently installed CS5 on my laptop after first removing it from my previous machine.All licences were validated so no problems there.Now when using paint bucket in Photoshop, the colors that I select in the color picker are not the colors that result when I use the paint bucket.
If I create a new black canvas then the colors selected in color picker work with paint bucket.But if I attempt to recolor the background in an existing image that I import into Photoshop, I get the mismatch with colors when I use paint bucket. My method for selecting colors is the same in each case, I select 'set foreground color' and set the color using html values entry at the bottom of the panel.

Just wanted to print a new photo and realized that the colors in print preview do not match the colors in soft proofing. In both cases I selected the same icc profile and rendering method. The print colors matched the colors in print preview. I never had a problem so far. All new prints will be checked with soft proofing and adjusted when necessary. I never paid attention to the color rendition in print preview and all prints perfectly matched the colors from the soft proofing. I was surprised when my print came out of the printer and the colors weren't matching the soft proofing colors, but that of the print preview.
I don't understand why Photoshop renders the colors differently in the first place. See attached screenshot for the difference in the blue/cyan colors. I don't care if the print view colors will match the print, but I do care when soft proofing is not working.

Using the square brush set in CS6 results in a sqaure that is, in fact, not really square...
Note how there are 3 90 degree corners, but the bottom right is rounded, and the bottom and right sides are faded.Am I doing something wrong? How can I fix this?

So when I booted up this morning and logged into the CC desktop application it told me that there was a Photoshop update available. I installed the update, opened Photoshop, and my workspace no longer exists. All of my custom settings (scratchpad color, menus, docks... EVERYTHING) has been reset to the "Essentials" workspace. And when I tried to "sync settings" to hopefully pull back my custom workspace from the "cloud" it showed that I had never synced before and seemed to have no information to pull from the cloud. So that did absolutely nothing. I had also saved my custom workspace, but it isn't an option to select in the drop-down menu.
Now I have to spend time trying to remember all of my custom tweaks before I can even get started on my work. At this rate, I'm going to have to screenshot my setup just so I have a record of my workspace in preparation for the next update that wipes out everything. I thought the whole point of "sync settings" was that a backup was kept of everything so this wouldn't happen.My experience thus far with CC has been that every update breaks something in my workflow.
