Photoshop :: Improve photos Acquired From Genealogy Searches
Jun 29, 2012
I just installed my photoshop 7 program on my windows 7 PC, an upgrade from Windows XP. I use photoshop to improve photos I have acquired from my genealogy searches, and to crop, enlarge and otherwise improve my photos I have taken and scanned over the years and my newer digital photos,
Which of the newer Adobe program would offer the most bang for my buck.
When I have copied something and go to paste the image in PhotoShop CS3, something causes my system to open a connection to the Internet for several seconds (maybe 15) before I can paste. I have checked my system for all sorts of virus issues, fearing key recording software, but I don't have anything like that. I've been told by our IT person (who checked my system) that there is something Adobe is doing. Is this true? Why does PhotoShop need to make this connection?
Set-up- LR4, LR3, Bridge and PS4 and Elements 10 on a MacBook Pro (OS 10.6.8), calibrated 24” HP ips monitor
Problem : The corrections made on my DNGs in LR4 are not being acquired by BridgePS4 or Elements 10. The neither the images in the filmstrip nor the DNG file when opened in PS4 or Elements Camera Raw reflect the LR4 corrections. Puzzling, since the Cropping and Corrections Applied Indicators are shown with the Bridge filmstrip images. And, when I re-Save Bridge does acknowledge that it is doing new thumbnail extractions .
I’ve done all I’m aware to do.Save in LR4 in Library Mode with filters off. Did an Update DNG previews and metedata. Automatically write changes to XMP is ON. Restarted the machine
To troubleshoot, I brought a few of those images( again DNGs) into LR3, did corrections and saved.These images were rendered properly in Bridge’s filmstrip and corrections were carried into Camera Raw without issue.
When opening my jpeg photos in Photoshop elements 9, once saved elements seems put the image in a format that my Apple Mac isn't compatible with. So when I then try and upload the images to Facebook or other software in a bulk upload the images are highlighted and I therefore can't select them and upload.
In CS6 when I enlarge a photo by pressing the spacebar I have got to go to 100% to get a sharper picture, is there anything I can do to get a better resolution photo without having to go to 100%
New user to PSE11. Is it recommended that ALL photos be in albums or is the idea that photos in albums are a subset of the photos in folders? With all the sort and search functionality, I don't understand the benefit of albums.I name my image folders using a standard naming convention with the date embedded so it makes them rather easy to manage.
The instructions in Adobe Photo Elements 11 Classroom In a Book are the classic Windows "Drag and Drop" Method. However, when I try to do it, the cursor/icon I am dragging turns into a gray circle with a gray diagonal when it reaches the Media Browser pane in the Organizer and the folder/photo is not imported into the Organizer when I "drop." Do I need to change setting in Windows (Vista, SP2) or Photoshop Elements 11?
My photos are OK in the Organizer, but the portrait photos are cut off at the top or bottom when used in a slide show. I have checked the "Crop to Fit" portrait selection but it makes no difference. I have Version 9 of Elements.
I just upgraded to photoshop elements 11. When I attempt to sync photos in iTunes (to synch with my iPhone), Photoshop Elements appears in the drop down and when I select it, it finds all the "albums" in the catalog. However, when I select an album to sync, iTunes indicates 0 photos are available in the album.
I'm running photoshop elements 11, iTunes 11.0.1.12, Windows 8 Pro.
if I try to sync "all photos and albums" it still reports that there are "0 photos" available to sync.
I've tried to make new albums, which iTunes "sees" the names, but there are "0 photos" available to sync.
I've also tried to sync with a folder (file system) which works just fine.
I'm trying to stitch 3 photos vertically-shot photos together (Photoshop CS5 extended), hoping the end results would be horizontal, but the following occurs:
The photo that it puts on the top should actually be the right-most photo in the pano. I tried photo merging the exact same three photos with a darker exposure, and it turned out perfectly.
I can not paste photos from my photos file. If I start a blank file I can paste anything photos want from the web in as many layers as I want. If I try to paste a photo from my own photos file it becomes the back ground by itself. I don't know how to stop this. Using photoshop elements 11.
I copied photo folders from my hard drive to lightroom 4 and edited them but then accidentally removed these folders from lightroom. I then imported these folders again into lightroom but all the edits I made orginally in lightroom don't show up for the individual photo's.
I backed up the Lightroom catalogue regularily. Is there any way I can reattach these edits to their respective photos'. There is lot of photo's involved.
I add five photos to a folder in Lightroom 4.3. The photos are in the specified folder in Windows. Import shows the five photos as imported but greyed out and semi-highlighted. Library does not show these five photos. What can I do?
I think this problem has persisted for a while (dating back to at least CS6/LR4). Photos look different when opened in PS and when opened in LR.
I have a folder of jpg versions of images that I have my Mac use as rotating backgrounds on my desktops. These jpg files were created from the original files without converting them from their default color spaces, so the jpgs are still in that color space. The original files are 16-bit ProPhoto RGB files at very high resolutions. The images were downsized, then saved as jpgs... that's it. What I noticed was some weird blockiness (like jpg artifacts) in the smooth regions of one of my backgrounds when it came up on my desktop. I opened the jpg in CC and sure enough there were the blocks. I thought it might be a color space thing, and I remembered that I had converted all my wallpaper files to sRGB versions using LR (converted from the ProPhotoRGB jpgs, not the original files). Opening one of those converted files in Photoshop CC showed no blockiness. That made no sense to me since the original ProPhotoRGB jpg that created the new sRGB jpg (via Lightroom) did seem to have those blocks. So I opened up Lightroom and looked at the original ProPhotoRGB jpg. This is where I'm baffled by the whole thing. How can the file show blockiness when viewed via the OS, and when viewed via CC, but not when viewed via Lightroom? Furthermore, how can lightroom take a file that has these blocks in it (as shown by CC and OS X) and display it without blocks, and create a block free version of it in another color space?
Just for the hell of it, I went back to CC and the original high res ProPhoto PSD image, converted to sRGB before resizing and saving as a jpg, and sure enough the resulting image has no blockiness. I can buy that... something in the processing pipeline in CC works when you manually do the conversion, but is automatically taken care of in Lightroom, but why is the same file being displayed oddly in CC (with the blocks), when Lightroom doesn't show the problem (and can create a new version of the file without the problem that opens just fine in CC)?
Here's a 200% screen shot of what photoshop shows when it opens the ProPhoto jpg file (the blocks are pretty evident in the blue of the sky): Here is the same exact file opened and displayed (at 200%) in Lightroom
Photoshop CS4. When I have several photos open, the borders of the underlying is shining through:This remains until I move the upper picture. Its a rather ennoying effect...My configuration is the following:Windows XP Professional SP3, Pentium 4 Dual 3.2 Ghz, 3.25 GB RAM, NVidia Quadro FX 1500, driver 6.14.11.8120, plenty of HD space, etc...Photoshop CS4 11.0.1
Is there a site where i can get high quality photos that are good to work with? I know I can find pictures on google. Im looking for a site that has pictures that artist like to work with.
I take hundreds of photos of soccer teams, I would like to view photos and tag them with the players 'number' that is in each photo. Example, "4,12,5" continuing this for hundreds of photos and then be able to sort all the photos that player number "12" is in OR all the photos that players "4" and "5" are in.
Does Photoshop have this capability, is this the best way / program to do that.
I went to a city website and want to use some photos (that are not copyrighted)in a report. My save as jpg did not produce a good image that could be scaled up. How to do?
The photos I have for my business in photoshop are really clear. But when I upload them to Facebook, they are blurry. How can I make my photos clear on Facebook? I heard someone say it is the size or pixels or something. How can I fix it?
I have two photos that I want to use one as the back ground and the other one to insert a blue light. The first picture we can remove the sign talking of the blue light special. Then I want to add the blue light from the second picture.
I wished the wife had taken a tighter shot of the blue light. I can go back and take another picture.
I'm having trouble stitching photos together in CS4.I am stitching together photos from microscopic flourescence images. I am trying to get a single image of the entire specimen but every time I try photomerge it leaves one of the images in the corner. It does a great job of adding all of the other images together but every time it refuses to add the last image (it could be the first, the point is that it is an image on one of the ends).
I went to Hawaii and because it was too sunny I couldn't see the colors of my photos very well, so they turned BLUE. How do I fix them in Photoshop CS 2?
I don't want anything complicated because I have quite a few photos.
