When I take a screenshot and paste it into photoshop I am losing a lot of color. Here I took a rainbow gradient and placed consecutive screenshots side by side.
The first bit is the original, then the first screenshot, then a screenshot of that, and so on. I've been looking for answers and found a few people with similar problems, but I seem to have all of the settings correct according to those solutions. I am using Win7 x64, I have the latest drivers for my video card (GeForce GTX580), the image is set to RGB, and my working space is sRGB IEC61966-2.1.
I'll take a screenshot of something in my browser, and then paste the screenshot into a new PS document, and suddenly all of the colors have shifted red...a lot. Now, when I save and view the images outside of PS, the colors have returned to normal, but this makes me very nervous about designing in PS, color matching, etc.
I've played around with the Color Management settings, most recently just switching off all Color Management, but nothing seems to fix this issue. To be honest, though, I don't really know what I'm doing in there with those color settings. I thought just setting everything to US Web would fix the problem, but It hasn't changed anything.
When I first installed 8.0 on my older XP machine, I didn't have any of these problems.
Whenever I try to save a picture (see guitar picture on website) to my hardisk, and open it in photoshop, the color quality substancially degrades. the black guitar from the website seems to turn to brownish black. how come? but when i open w/o using photoshop (within windows only), the color seems fine. just like the original from the website ....
A few days ago, I suddenly cannot find the eyedropper to select color, either in type or color functions. When I click the color boxes, it now opens up the color menu with the usual sliders, crayons, specturms, etc, but no eyedropper.
When i'm attempting to paste an image from one window to another, i'm losing an incredible amount of colors in the transfer.
The target image is a gif (of the animated variety) while the copied image is a png (although i've also tried w/ bmp's). You can check out the attachment to see what i mean.
I guess my question is primarily "whats causing this?" w/ a secondary "is there a work around?"
I scanned a document into PSP X5 and I am trying to use the materials palette to highlight (in red) certain spots on the document. The palette defaults to grey shades only. I reset the workspace to factory defaults and even tried the SHIFT-START - without luck. However, if I open any color images, the palette shows full color options. if this is a problem with how I scanned the document into PSP X5?
Do you guys use a program to take screen shots in photoshop like you display in your tutorials? Or am I missing an obvious answer?
I've never really had the need to 'screen capture' bits and peices of the photoshop work area, but I'd sure like to learn how to do it! I see JoeD is the master of the screenshot,
I dont know if any of yous have ever seen game screen shots where the screenshots of somthing in the "game" But they touch it up and make it look really nice (smoother edges, stuff sticks out more)
Is it possible? Couldn't find it with a quick run-through of the menus. And no results were returned after searching for "screenshot" in the help. Not feeling to good about the possibility right now.
I'm getting them from a DVD, straight from the player (prog). When i paste it into PS, everything looks great. But, after I've saved it and reopened it's just a black screen. Could I get a better screenshot using Premiere,
I am asked to take a screenshot that won't fit into one page. That means that i would need to take separe screenshots and join them together... once they are merged i can resize it and make it fit into one page.
I have no clue why, it does not occur with other programs than ps - but when I take a screenshot, it often will not be imported in to photoshop. I very often have to do it twice. This is very annoying. it is possible I have the same problem when copying from other programs and pasting into photoshop, although i am not really sure. (I some times intuitively use ctrl+c when copying images from firefox, and naturally that does not work, may be the reason why I get the impression the picture is not copied into photoshop) But whether or not i have problems copying from other programs, I know for sure that taking screenshots often doesn't work the first time, only the second time. Does anyone know why that is? I don't think it has to do with memory as I have 2 GB ram and a these images are small...
capturing screenshots, that will be for print. The company that I work for has a book being made that requires several figures from screenshots. The book is being printed in B&W. I do not have access to any other screen grab program other than Grab, and was wondering if anyone has any advice for making these grabs the best quality they can be for print. I am obviously concerned with resolution, but also the general quality of the images, bluriness when printed, as well as loss of quality and contrast when converted to B&W
whatever screenshots I paste into Photoshop all becomes blurry, or "low quality" if you will. I tried pasting the same image in Paint or Illustrator, they remain sharp and fine as they.
I want to make screenshots of the menus and tools. What program or technique should I use for screenshots? What should have optimal resolution? How did the highest quality print? ¿File extension? In the press I have demanded the highest quality
I have used support in Elements 10, and have found some topics I wanted to print and keep handy in a binder for learning by doing and having a handy reference. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find a way to print the documents along with the examples and screenshots. Is there a relatively easy way I'm missing?
I have some labels created in an outdated Bar-One software program on an old computer and the only way I can move them to a new software is to make a screenshot of the labels and then import that bitmap image into Corel. My question is what is the best way to make the highest quality screenshot on any computer?
P.S. Is it possible to photograph a computer screen and get a good high resolution image (as an alternative to screenshots)?
How to clean screenshots that contain text or other stuff overlapped in an image.
Here's an example:
I'd like to know if it's possible to remove the overlapped bits of screenshots in the upper and bottom left corners and the text in-between using GIMP. The second picture is merely for reference of the material missing(I'm not sure if it can actually be used because the quality is not the same, and I believe the colors are a little off). And if it's indeed possible, how it can be done.
I am currently writing a book that will initially be sold as a PDF but may later go on the i Book store, however I don't have a Retina display myself and what is the best practice for making screenshots from a normal display look acceptably sharp on a Retina display?
I have Photoshop along with the iOS simulator that shows how the iPad or iPhone will look if they can be used in some way but I mainly need to get menu items and dialogue boxes from various applications in OS X and Windows looking good on Retina screens. I really don't want to pay out for a Retina display purely for this task that would only take a few hours of work at most.
I have recently installed Photoshop CS3 on a newer PC which runs Windows 7 Home Premium, after the programme was locked on a PC running Vista which died on me and which I have just had repaired. However since installing the programme, every time I turn my PC off and then on again next morning, I have lost the internet.
I have been getting around the problem by running the HP network check and the automatic repair that it performs is to "reset the Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller Adapter". However this only works until the PC is turned off again and then I have to do the whole process again. Is there a way to fix this problem permanently? I was hoping there would be an update from Adobe that might sort the problem, but Adobe don't seem to be able to work with that as they say the programme is too old and don't have online support for this.
I have followed everything that is suggested by HP i.e. rebooting the modem and router.
If I reset the PC to before the programme was installed the problem goes away. When I reinstall the problem comes back. Its definitely to do with the Photoshop programme, but I don't understand why.
there is Old picture in sizs 5" x 7". I want to print this picture from lab of size 16" x 20". Please can anybody tell me How I convert this picture in to biger size without any lose of resolution and Quality.
I convert the original picture in to TIF. then Go to Image size increase the Percentage by 100 to 125. and Again save this file into Tif with Name A1. Then Again Open A1 do same size change 100% to 125% and save this by name A2.tif. continue... This is right way or any method.
why I suddenly lose all my loaded presets and also preferences (like zooming with the mouse wheel). I don't lose the presets altogether, but I have to go back and reload them again. This doesn't happen all the time, only occasionally and I can't fathom out why.
A jpg image I'm working with loses resolution when placing. I'm suing a canvas of 695x423, trying both 72 and 300ppi (there's no difference). What silly mistake could be overlooked here? The shift in resolution is akin to looking at a image in InDesign in standard vs high quality.
I created a collage type image in CS3 . It had 4 layers with a tiff size of 60mbs. as a psd file it was about 20mb. when i saved it as a jpeg it shrunk to below 1 mb. I can't print the jpeg larger than larger than a 5 x 7. what am i doing wrong? why would the jpeg shrink so much?
In order to save hard-drive disk space I want/need to start compressing my Photoshop files. The Tiff-LZW or Tiff-ZIP compressions seems like a great lossless format alternative with apparent significant compression. Is anyone aware whether there is truly no loss of file information with these formats, or does some minimal degradation occur? Any thoughts on JPEG2000 lossless compression?
I had an 18MP picture (3456x5184 pixles) and I was trying to fit it into an A1 canvas of a 100 dpi so I used free transformation to scale it down. Later on, I have decided to make the canvas of 150 dpi instead of 100. Would increasing the resolution now make my picture look pixelated on the canvas? I know that the original photo would look alright on a 150 dpi.
Wondering if there is a loss of original full RGB information if changing color mode from RGB to CMYK and back to RGB. I understand that RGB has a wider color gamut and that if changing to CMYK that I will have a narrower color gamut. BUT, I want to know how if Adobe retains full RGB data after changing color mode to CMYK?
In other words, If I change from RGB to CMYK and back to RGB will I have all the original color data that I did with the original image? Does Photoshop "throw out" the full gamut information for RGB when switching to CYMK, so that when I do convert back to RGB, it is jsut looking for the comparable RGB color within the CMYK gamut now?
OR
Does Photoshop "know" the full color information regardless of in RGB or CMYK, but only changes that color information to fit within the CYMK color gamut while "remembering" what it's full color gamut WAS outside of CMYK?
If I do lose full RGB info, what's the best workflow option when using for print in indesign? Keep two seperate Photoshop files, one original RGB and one CMYK? OR just place into InDesign as RGB and change to CMYK when exporting as PDF?
