Photoshop :: JPEG Files Much Lighter After Flattening
Jun 15, 2013Why is it that my flattened JPEG files appear blown out from PSE. They do not hold the deep color and textures of PSE's.

I can attach a link to the PDS if you would like to take a look at it. The layer that is losing its levels settings is called "Stars". I don't change my levels often, so I am sure its something I am just missing. The levels are just changes on a single layer, as stated above its the layer called "Stars".

What's happening is that I save a .psd file the same way I've done for the last 8 years, but every once in a while, the .psd files are flattened the next time I open them. This has happened 4 times now.
The first time, I wrote it off as a user error. I saved a backup .psd file and continued on. The second time was the same file, but I had the backup file which I was able to revert to an older version and restart from there.
Edit: I should also add that the third and fourth files were different files from the one used in the first two instances.
The third time, I was testing it. I saved a backup file and then continued to work on the file. I would save it, close the file, and reopen it to see if it was flattened. The 10th or 11th time I did this, the file was indeed flattened. The fourth time this has happened was on a brand new file I had started at the end of the day yesterday, and this morning it is flattened.
I really don't want to have to keep a secondary .psd file updated as a backup for every single project I work on.
Dealing with large prints (72in x 36in @350dpi).
I've been commissioned to make a large print (12ft by 3ft) for a gallery. They want me to use a preferred printer who requires a final output resolution of 300-350dpi. My source file is an Illustrator file (CS5.1) containing MANY (100's) overlapping, transparent polygons). The printer initially told me that it was fine to supply the Illustrator file as two parts, 6ft x 3ft with everything as vectors. They just got back to me and rejected my files, now requesting full resolution TIFFs.
I have tried to flatten the transparency and output to TIFF, but either Illustrator hangs indefinitely halfway in the process or errors out, telling me that the combination of size and resolution is impossible to output. I've even tried to import to photoshop as smart object, etc. It appears that I'm running out of memory/cpu power/illustrator abilities even though I tried this on a quad cpu mac pro with 12GB of memory. At the moment, how to rasterize my vector art at anywhere near acceptable resolution. The image is very dense, and full of subtle changes in color and density due to the transparency. I need to preserve it as much as possible.
changed color saturation and a few other things to try and make it lighter but I am not successful.

I've read online that I may have success if I download software called Image Converter Plus. Should I go that route or will today's Adobe Photoshop software convert them? I currently do not own any of the Adobe products.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have used a PC for many years and saved files in JPEG with Photoshop CS4 and then CS5 no problem. Recently I bought a mac and upgraded to Photoshop CS6 and then upgraded again to Photoshop CS6 Extended.
Now when I save files as 'JPEG' in Photoshop CS6 Extended they save okay but when I try to open these files in other programs they can't read the file. If I try to attach these JPEG's in an email they send a script and no image.
The only way to send JPEG's by email on my mac seems to be if I right click on the JPEG image and send it that way by email - I can't add it to emails though. Am I saving in the wrong format for a mac ?
First I had problems with my primary scratch settings in which I changed the volumes..but since I bought a new PC I was making some graphics in Photoshop 7.0 and one day it no longer let me open .jpg/.jpeg files no matter how many times I try!

I'm hoping someone else knows why this is..I've re-installed many times and it doesn't solve the problem at all. I can open BMP files for some reason yet not .jpgs.
I took some photos with my digital camera.
A part of these pictures are readable but a large parts isn't.
I tried to read them with several programs (Photoshop, Paint shop pro, IrfanVieuw,...) but this doesn't change a thing.
All these pictures were taken on the same day with the same memory card.
One of my clients wants their files sent securely on DVD. One suggestion was to ZIP the jpegs and then appy the password option.
Has anyone done this? As it is really for security I would save at minimum compression.
But Does it affect the image quality?
Is there a better solution for secure delivery?
I bought an HP Photosmart 320 and found out too late that there was a bug in the firmware that caused problems when writing to large memory cards. I have fixed the firmware but I have over 100 photos taken before the fix that I would like to salvage. I have found many services that will recover deleted files but none that fix corrupted ones.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to continue an assignment that I started at school today, but the Photoshop CS6 (64 bit) that I have on my laptop will not let me open any files. Not, JPEG, TIFF, PSD, PNG, nary a one of the photo types can be opened. It doesn't give me any signs of trouble or error messages. It just wont let me open a file or make a new file. I just sits there in all its power staring me down. why must Photoshop all of a sudden despise me so?

View 4 Replies View RelatedMy camera out put is in JPEG I have no choice. While I can process jpeg with no problems in CS5 is there a better way to do this? would I be better off converting the JPEG to either tiff or psd and then process the file and then reconvert back to jpeg as the final product. I have heard so much about "lossy"(jpeg) vs "non Lossy" (tiff and psd) which are the ones I want to use?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI try to save a few files in JPEG format in batches:
1. First, under Action, I open a file and include what functions to perform
2. then I save it in JPEG format which prompted a dialog box that asked for quality.
3. after I'm done creating the Action, I run the Action in batch mode.
But for each file, Photoshop generates that JPEG save dialog box for quality. this means that I have to click or press enter for every single file even while Photoshop is processing in batches!
So how do I supress that dialog box when running in batch mode and let photoshop save everything in JPEG format without pausing and at the quality I have determined when I created the Action?

I have PSE12 set up as my default program for all JPEG files that I open. When a JPEG is double clicked, the program opens but the file does not. I have done the following:
Gone to Control Panel/Programs and set up PSE12 as the default program for all JPEG filesRight clicked JPEG files, selected open with and selected "C:Program Files (x86)AdobePhotoshop Elements 12" as my go to program for all JPEGSUsed a program to clear all PSE11 references out of my registry
i transferred pix from my camera to my computer. now the jpeg files will not open in elememts 10.

I made a photoshop file, saved it, and when I tried to save it as a JPEG I get an "cannot complete request due to a system error" type message. It's a normal file, simple layers, contrast, brushes, etc., but I've tried opening normal JPEG files, drawing on it, and saving, still nothing.

View 12 Replies View RelatedI'm having an annoying issue with my CMYK images. I work for a marketing co. that's primarily print, and after uploading my images to our online storage interface (we use Egnyte), the jpegs appear "milky" or lighter and desaturated than what they do on my screen and in Photoshop.
I've tested tiff, jpeg and pdf and they all look fine on my screen, but the jpeg and tiff appear "milky" only on my collegue's screen, but the pdf is fine. She is on a Mac, I'm on PC, and no matter how I open the images, whether I redownload them from the web, or open them straight from my hd, they appear just fine.
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.
I am not looking for textures or vertical or horizontal lines.
Just a simple effect.
How would I go about creating this type of background?
how to make a background lighter or transparent?
