Something very strange is going on. All my fonts are slightly compressed, as though the horizontal scaling is set to about 80%. It's not restricted to one font - it's across the board.
Â
We have two macs in the studio with the same problem, and we can't fix it.
Image compression in Photsohop CS6 doesn't seem to be effective on a 16 bit PSD when Maximize Compatibility is turned on.
Â
For example, with Maximize Compatibility set to Always, if I create a new file 6144 x 4096 pixels x 16 bits/channel with a pure white background, and add a single text layer that says "This is a test", then save the file, it's 144 megabytes. Zipping that same file into a .zip archive results in a massive reduction, to 245 kbytes.
Â
Sure enough the saved file size goes down if I set Maximize Compatibility to Never. But even that can be hugely more compressed by zip (down to 88 kbytes).
Â
This implies the failure to compress is happening on the flattened preview.
Â
If I change to 8 bits/channel and save that same document either way it's about two and a half megabytes, differing only a couple hundred kbytes between Maximize Compatibility Always vs. Never. In this case, apparently the flattened preview is being compressed nicely.
Â
These are my file handling preferences. Note that I do NOT have [ ] Disable Compression checked.
Â
Doing a bit of spot testing, I believe this is nothing new - it has been the same in recent past versions (e.g., Ps CS5, CS4). I've just never noticed that saving 16 bits/channel data yielded such huge files (because I always diaabled compression anyway), but apparently it has been the same all along.
Â
No problem here - this is just a curiosity to me, as I have a fast disk array and these saves are all quick enough. I choose the "Always" maximize compatibility setting because I have a viewer (IrfanView) that I use for quick previews that won't read files saved with Maximize Compatility disabled.
Â
I suppose it does beg the question: What prevents Photoshop from doing the Flate compression on the flattened preview in a 16 bits/channel PSD file? Was there an old version that couldn't decompress such files?
I am trying to remove the background from an image. It is a jpg that has had a lot of compression on it, so the edges are quite jaggedy/blurred. I have tried using the magic wand tool, but it seems to cut around the jagedy edges leaving a poor cut.

I'm using Microsoft Word 2010. When I save the document I use Save as > PDF
Â
I created a few images for headers inside of Photoshop CS6. I've tried quite a few resolutions (600, 300, 220, 150, 96, 72) and I've also done all of the tips out there for preventing compression (going into settings > advanced > turning compression off, clicking image going to format preventing compression, and also the save as > tools > 220 dpi/use document compression).
Â
I've also tried a ton of different file types: Jpg, png, gif, tiff, and pdf.
Â
None of this works and my images keep getting compressed when it comes out in PDF.
Â
How do I get this to stop compressing my images?
Â
P.S. The image looks TOTALLY fine inside of the document. But as soon as I export it looks compressed and choppy.
I have bunch of compressed .tif files (Resolution is 400 dpi instead of 600) that I can't open in the photoshop.
Right now the only way I can fix these is by using Microsoft Office Picture Manager to convert those files to .bmp file. Then I CAN open it in photoshop and change it back to the correct scale/format (bitmap). However there are like hundreds of them and its going to take a long time to fix those pictures one by one.
Is there any method I can open them in photoshop? Any plug-in I can use?
I have been working on a file and every time I compress all the layers to an image file the overlay filter is ignored and it is processed at 100 opacity and normal instead of the overlay filter.Â
Â
I thought the file was corrupted so i started from stratch again. I have my background layer (black) and a zig zag pattern i created which is set to overlay and 52% opacity, which gives a nice effect with the black layer. When the 2 layers are compressed the pattern layer comes out the full red colour instead of the overlay settings.Â
Here are the 2 images - the saved jpeg image and a screen shot of what it looks like when working on it in photoshop. I've been at it for 5 days.
I'm looking for a Plug-In to open G4-Compressed Tiff files in photoshop.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am working on a project that requires saving my image files as uncompressed tiff files and then saving another copy using LZW compression and being stored on a different drive. I am scanning a large quantity of herbarium specimens one after the other and then saving these files on two different drives.
Because I am working on a Windows pc it defaults to saving the file as the same type and in the same place as the previous one. As a matter of efficiency I just save the file in the proper form for whatever drive I was last on then save the next one in the form it needs to be for the other drive - alternating back and forth.
My question is: If I save the original scan as an LZW compressed file first and then "save as" a second copy as an uncompressed Tiff. Is there any loss in image quality saving a LZW compressed to to an uncompressed form. Should I always save the original file in it's uncompressed form first? Does the file remain totally intact in Photoshop regardless of what gets saved first…

View 8 Replies View RelatedOne of the reasons I have always liked PhotoPaint is because one can do some amount of video editing with it which is handy for animations or title frames to use in video editing programs. PhotoPaint has always been my preferred tool for making animated gifs from avi or mov files.
I see that it will open uncompressed avi or mov files but if they are compressed, it won't open them properly; such as showing the frames as solid black.
Is there a way to import additional codecs or filters or whatever for avi and mov into x5?
is it possible to edit the individual layers of an image after the layers have been compressed and the image saved? If so, where do I find the instructions for that?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI use LR5 to manage RAW/JPG/MOV files from events where I have taken pictures from. Most of the MOV files do either come from my Canon Camera or from my iPhone.
Â
I regular export the files in a reduced file back to my iPad or iPhone for "public" viewing. Unfortunately LR5 is loosing all metadata from my videos, especially creating date/time and GPS tags.
Â
Is there any way to include metadata in exported (and compressed) video files ? It works in photo's very well.
Â
If not, do you know any other program which can compress original video files from my iPhone and keep the metadata ?
Is there a method to get the Pocket Camera CinemaDNG files to work in premiere ? (or Speed grade?) They work as individual frames in Photoshop. Apparently they are "compressed" CinemaDNG files.

View 4 Replies View RelatedIt used to be that I very rarely used fonts within CS5 but recently I have. I realized that all of the fonts supposedly included with CS5 are not available via my drop down menu.
Â
I then found these fonts in Windows/fonts so I copied all of those fonts into Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/Fonts. These unavailble fonts are now listed in that folder but are still not available via the dropdown menu in PS CS5.
Â
I've recently read that the fonts don't really even NEED to be in the Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/Fonts folder and that PS should actually make all of the fonts in Windows/Fonts available via the dropdown menu. Yes, I have restarted PS after copying the files and also tried rebooting my PC after copying the files. The fonts are still not available via the drop down text menu within PS even though all of them are now in both locations.
I have put some new fonts into C:/windows/fonts and they have come up in other programs e.g. Microsoft office but they are not showing up in photoshop.

I've been installing all my fonts into the system I wanna use in Gimp... is it better to use the font folder in the Gimp user profile or to install them into the system?

View 3 Replies View Relatedhow to get Gimp to only showfonts from the user/fonts file rather than the vast amount of system fonts.
I think you should read the original mail again. Hint: "system fonts not shown" is not the problem, but the desired outcome.I have accidentally read a "not" into the original mail, thus it became "to get Gimp to *not* only show fonts from the user/fonts file"
The configuration to check is the fonconfig settings then, for example the the global, system-wide fonts.conf file. It may contain references to the global font directories, for example /usr/share/fonts/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts. URL....
If you comment those out, then you can (and have to) add all font directories in GIMP's settings, for example.

View 3 Replies View RelatedIf I'm creating a Photoshop PDF in order to keep the type in vector format, will the font then be embedded in the PDF? I'm not rasterizing the type since I want it to stay vector, but then I'm worried that if I share the file someone else will have trouble with it. I made a Photoshop PDF yesterday that I needed to share -- I just sent the font along with it. I knew it would probably ask for the font if they attempted to edit it in Photoshop -- but if they just printed it from the PDF maybe it would be embedded? Acrobat is listing it as an embedded subset, but I don't see how it can be embedded if the editing capabilities are still there.
