Photoshop :: Images In Photoshop Appear Darker

Aug 7, 2005

My problem is that whenever I open an image in Photoshop (CS2), it appears darker than it actually is. As you can see in this screenshot, there is a clear color difference between the two title bars. Any ideas?

Photoshop :: Darker Images After Saving

Jul 27, 2006

when I save an image in PS (it happens with tif and jpg) and then open it, it looks different from the original psd--usually darker or harsher contrasts. (Yes, I understand the compression factor for jpgs will change the image, but it also happens with tifs.) I also notice people making comments about photos whose details I can't see until I copy and paste it into PS. I know this probably doesn't make any sense, but I don't know how else to explain it.

See the grass in the foreground? In the forum I'm viewing the original, I cannot see the grass at all. Yet, when I copy and paste it into PS, there it is! I thought the Adobe Gamma corrected the whole monitor, not just for PS.

Photoshop :: All Images Show Darker In PS Since CS4

Oct 24, 2008

After installeing CS4, all my images now look darker in PS. They all look at least 20% darker. I still have CS3 installed, and when I look into CS3, they images now also look darker. But when I flip back to Windows, all images look ok.

I thought it might be Adobe gamma - which I had disabled previously because it conflicts with my color spider calibrator. Sinec installing CS4, I looked in the startup folder of windows, but Adobe Gamma is not there... So I wonder what could possibly be affecting the way the images are showing in PS.

I tried a few different proofing methods in PS, but to no avail (only MAC proofing shows the image closer to what it should look like, but it's still not it).

WinXP SP3

Nvidia 8800 GTS

Photoshop :: PS8 Exporting Images Turn Out Darker

Aug 31, 2004

when I save my image (jpeg, gif, etc) the colors turn out slightly darker then they're supposed to. I tested it myself and infact the color code slightly changed when I re-opened a saved image back in Photoshop.

Also, when making a new document is the default supposed to be 8 bit or 16 bit? Because when I set it to 16 bit I can't export it as a jpeg or gif. Moreover, is there a way to change all the settings back to default so that I'm sure I didn't screw anything up?

Photoshop :: Save For Web Darker Interface?

May 28, 2012

I have for a long time been an advocate for the darker interface, using it mainly in After Effects. So it's great that the CS6 apps have taken this to other apps in the Suite. However Save for Web has been missed out it seems. Anyone else think this should be able to be darkened like the rest of the PS interface?

Photoshop :: New HDR Image Darker Than Preview

May 13, 2008

I was using Adobe Bridge to combine sets of 3 photos with different exposures to create HDR images and sending them to Photoshop. So far today I made 20+ such images and successfully saved them into PSDs.

I just ran into an odd problem. After clicking 'Merge to HDR' in the Bridge -> Photoshop option, Photoshop did it's thing of merging my 3 images. The preview window came up, it looked perfect, so I clicked 'Ok'. Then it created an Untitled document (as it always does), except that this image is much darker than what was shown in the preview. I tried doing some light adjustments, can't get it to be what I saw in the preview window.

All of my other HDR creations were exactly the same as I saw in the preview window. What's going on?

Photoshop :: When Converted To RGB, Image Looks Darker

Mar 22, 2009

in photoshop CS4, I use Adobe RGB (1998) as my working profile. I open a document, I change it's profile from RGB, using "view"-"mode", to anything else, say Lab, and everything is fine up to now, but then I undo the change, and what I get is a darker image than before. I don't get the original image I opened. Same thing happens if I use the "convert to profile" option also.

I close the image and reopen it, it still looks darker. I restart photoshop and open the image, only then I get the original image with normal colors again. This happens only when I convert back to RGB, not from RGB and not between any other profiles.

at some point, change the color profile from RGB to any other profile and then back to RGB the image looks darker, and the only way to fix this is restarting photoshop. this didn't happen in any versions before cs4, what should I do?

Photoshop :: CS4 / Photos Printing Darker Than Monitor?

Mar 24, 2013

I have CS4 and have battled with this issue for a long time now.  I am so tired of it.  Before I throw out my Epson Pro Stylus 3800 and PS4 software I thought I would ask one more time.  I calibrate my monitor, I have taken photoshop classes, been on webinars for calibrating my monitor, etc.  And no matter what I do, my photos print several shades darker than what I see on my monitor. I use no color adjustment in my ps print settings as well as my printer settings.

I would like to create a background that begins with one color and gradually changes to a lighter color.

This type of background is on both the side panel and main panel of the page.

Photoshop :: Saved Image Is Darker Than Original File

Jan 6, 2003

I'm trying to save a file as web content (either jpg or gif) but when I save the file it is much darker than the original.

If I view the saved version of the file in PS there are no issues, but once I view it in a browser, the issue arises.

Is there a way to control this? I've never had this problem before while working with photographs or other files.

For the record I'm using PS 6.0 for PC and the browser I'm using is IE 5.5.

Photoshop :: Photo Appears Darker In Print Menu (CS6) Than On Main Screen

Sep 25, 2012

Everything is calibrated.  That is not an issue.
 
When I work the photo (JPG, TIFF or PSD) to where it is what I want, the preview is darker in the print preview.  Probably one f/stop in photo terms.  And, THIS is how it actually prints.
 
What is causing that?  And, is there a fix?
 
None of the "show paper color," etc. are checked, so that is not causing the difference.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 :: Printed Image Darker Than Photoshop Prints

Jul 12, 2013

Tried the same image printed using corel and Photoshop. same setup: let software handle color, color off in printer, same profiles and settings otherwise. the corel print is a bit darker and some colors are slightly different than the same image printed thru Photoshop.

I usually print designs created in corel as there is added text and graphic elements. Can't print those using PS. just odd there is noticeable color variations.

Photoshop :: Prints Darker Than Screen : Epson 2400/sony Artisan

Jul 3, 2006

Prints from 2400 look good, but darker (about a stop darker) and bit more saturated that seeing on my calibrated Sony Artisan Monitor.

I can get good prints, but I now have to add an adjustment layer to files and lighten them all up, a real hassle. I don't remember this issue ever before.

I've tried all the different rendering intents.

Photoshop :: Replace Green Background In Top Image To Darker And Lighter Pink Stripes

Mar 1, 2012

I want to replace green background in the top image to darker and lighter pink stripes to match the color of the website.

I've been going in the direction of:

1) Select color range (Pick green and just + the other shades of green to it)

2) Create Clipping mask from the Selection (I actually have all the green backround on white and nothing else on the screen).
