Photoshop :: Output JPEG Looks Different Than Edited RAW Image
Aug 26, 2013
I just got CS6 and have been working on some new images in RAW. Once I finished the editing I wanted to do in RAW, I saved the image as a JPEG, then clicked "open image" at the bottom of the RAW window.
The image that came up in Photoshop looked nothing like my edited RAW image. It's as if none of the edits ever occurred.
I have a jpeg photo taken with a digital camera. The problem is that it appears different depending on what software I view it with. When I view it in Windows explorer / Windows picture and fax viewer, the colours appear very bright. When I view the same image in other software such as ms paint or firefox, the colours appear much duller. Originally I thought this photo was the original from the camera but after looking at the Exif data it showed that the image had been edited in Adobe Photoshop. I don't know how the image was edited in photoshop. A raw image directly from the camera does not have the same problem - it looks the same in windows viewer and other software.What could have happened to this jpeg in photoshop that would cause the colours to look brighter in windows viewer but not other software? Sure a jpeg is a jpeg and should look the same in all viewers?
I shot some images in RAW, edited them in Photoshop, saved them as JPEG before sending to a client. When the client opened them on her computer there were two problems:
1)they came out dark, and 2) when she tried to upload them to her blog on the WordPress platform, she said they completely lost all the editing I had done.
I am having an issue with Backburner (2013.0.0 & 2013.0.2). I recently tried to render a 2011 3ds Max File Through backburner and since then I have been getting this error:
INF Sending instructions for job '(File name)' to (computer name) WRN Task Error for (computers name) ERR Job '(file name)' (Autodesk 3ds Max 2013 (64-bit)) failed for Cosmo ERR Error message: 3dsmax adapter error : Autodesk 3dsMaxDesign 15.0 reported error: Error writing to file "(out put location)".
My render farm and Backburner were working perfectly before this (using 3ds Max Design 2013 and Backburner 2013.0.0), however, ever since I tried to render out the 2011 file I am unable to render even fresh Max 2013 files through Backburner. I don't know if this is important info but the 2011 file was worked on in Max 2011 and 2013.
I rendered out the scene through 3ds max (not Backburner) and was able to save the the Jpegs to the same output location that I need to save to when rendering with Backburner (I have an external network drive so all the nodes can access the necessary data). When I change the file output to my Desktop Backburner works correctly and I do not get this error, however, I need to set the output to the network drive. I tried installing backburner 2013.0.2 and the hotfix file.
GIMP 2.6.10-1 on Debian 6 does not open JPEG files recently written by itself. The program freezes and the only way out is to reboot. Older JPEG files are opened as usual, and the problem files can be opened in Digikam and Fotoxx. A sample problem file is attached.
I have Photoshop CS5 installed on my windows7 system. It was working all fine until last week. From last week, I am unable to save the photos that I edit in photoshop. Its like, I save them, but I do not find them anywhere, not in the folder I saved them nor anywhere else in the computer. I also tried saving the pics as a copy still no luck. This is a work environment.
I have a JPG image that I want to edit with photoshop 7. I know that if I edit directly the JPG image and save again as new JPG image, the quality of the new saved image will be degraded. Experienced user know that because JPG is a lossy format.
I want to retain the quality of the edited image. Then I heard that the TIFF format is a lossless format that support compression.
I usually done this:
A. Let's say I have a JPG image that I want to edit, then I open the image and directly save it as a new TIFF image (with LZW compression).
B. Then I will do editing to the TIFF image.
C. After the editing TIFF image done, I will save it as a new copy of JPG image.
Note: Step C is only performed if I want to publish the image.
The questions:
1. Is the step A a correct step from the view of experienced user? I mean is this a step that I should do if I want to retain the quality of the want-to-edit image.
2. Does the LZW compression in TIFF give a quality loss in the image?
3. If I save a JPG image in TIFF format (with LZW compression), is there any quality loss (i.e., artifacts) in the saved TIFF image?
The next question is about saving the image as JPG in maximum quality for publishing.
Usually I choose these settings in the JPEG options:
* I choose "12" for the quality (the highest number).
* I choose "Baseline optimized" in the Format Options (There are 3 options available: Baseline ("Standard"), Baseline Optimized, and Progressive).
The questions:
- In save as dialog, there is "ICC Profile" checkbox. What is it used for? Does it affect the quality of the image? Should I check this option if I want to gain maximum quality image?
- Am I choose the correct option in the Format Options if I want to gain maximum quality image? What's difference of the three Format Options? What should I choose if I want to gain maximum quality of the JPG image?
- Is there any other factor that I must consider if I want to gain the maximum quality of the JPG image?
Well, it looks like I edited an image in ProPhoto RGB and now when I save as JPEG I get a color change (always looks warmer, like a change in white balance.)
When I convert to another profile, the color change. Is there anyway to either convert and get my colors back or as to JPEG with the color's I'm getting in photoshop? What is odd is I'll see a nice white background in PS and even in the thumbnail. But if I open it in anything but PS I get color change.
How to make this image visibly more clear and perfect. But don't change its proportions, the size should be exactly the same as I'm going to use it for facebook cover.
I need the attached image edited so the people in the photo appear shirtless. The people in the photo needs to have an athletic build and a non-hairy body. I'm new to PhotoShop.
I have my photos on a separate volume at /Volume/Users/Lightroom Photos/…
Everything works fine except when I choose "Edit in Photoshop CS6", work on the image in Photoshop then save it. It gets saved back to the same folder as the original file, but when I tab back to Lightroom it just shows a square tile with a question mark instead of the new file. Tapping on the exclamation mark reveals that Lightroom thinks the new file is supposed to be in /Users/Lightroom Photos/…
For example the dialog box might say:
“_DSC3047-Edit.tif” could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it? Previous location: /Users/Lightroom Photos/2012/2012-12-08/_DSC3047-Edit.tif
When in reality the original and the edit are both in /Volumes/Users/Lightroom Photos/2012/2012-12-08/ and there is not, and never was a /Users/Lightroom Photos/…
That is, something about saving back from Photoshop stripped off the "/Volumes/" from the beginning of the path. I can choose Locate and find it right where it should be and it will show up. Once it shows up the image tile shows the image but has an exclamation mark; tapping on that brings up a dialog box that says:
The metadata for this photo has been changed by both Lightroom and another application. Should Lightroom import settings from disk or overwrite disk settings with those from the catalog?
This is on a Mac and so /Users does exist but that maps to /Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users. I wonder if either LR or PS is confused by there being a /Users and a /Volumes/Users.
Editing in a Nik Plugin (e.g. Silver Efx) works properly, FWIW.
I am using LR4.2 and PS CS6 13.0.1 on OS X 10.8.2.
I am going to get some flack but I bought a template to work with in psd format. I was told that I could jut open it in photoshop, make the changes to the layers, save it using the "save for the web" feature, and it would output the seperate images into an images folder that I could use in relation to my HTML pages. HOWEVER, I am just getting one huge pictures!
When I run Image Processor, I tell the files to go to a specific folder. All of the processed images go to a folder named JPEG in the folder I specified. But, it also creates another copy of each image on my desktop which means a lot of cleanup after running 100 images. Anybody know how to stop that?
I have a rectangular box in perspective on a layer, I want to stick a picture on it , so I can use the Vanishing point filter (creating a right plane, copy/ paste that picture and placing it) and it works fine. But I have the same picture to do with a hundred of picture to stick, so I need that to be dynamic. I only had to right click my layer with dynamic picture, "replace content", and it auto-fills in the other layer with the vanishing point edit.
Image Option window show up every time I save an image after editing. Is there a way to set image quality at High and this window not to show up each time?
I started from Lightroom 4 and did a merge to HDR. All the images opened in Photoshop CS6 HDR. (Unlike CS5 there was only one tab called Untitled HDR) The HDR control panel opened up and I edited the highlights shadows and removed ghosts. I clicked to finilize the process. The panel closed and I find myself looking at a PS CS6 screen with no image open at all. I went to LR4 and looked around. There was no stacked image. There was no imported image. I sorted all edited images. It was not there. I went back to PS CS6 and and tried again only I changed 16bit to 8bit. Still nothing. I had Google Chrome running and nothing else. I am using a iMac running 10.7.5 with 4 gigs of ram. Nothing ran slow.
I need to resize a batch of pngs and would like to use scripts/image processor. My original files are png files. There appears to be no option for outputting pngs -but i must output the files as tranparent pngs.
I've been asked to do a poster A2 size 594mm x 420mm 300dpi but when i enter these dimensions my pc is slowing down dramatically. whats the best way to achieve better performance?
This keeps happening where I have an image, I edit it, I press ctrl+S, but when I upload the image the edited version is not uploading the original version is?? I have to save it as ctrl+shift+s. This sucks because now I have 3 or 4 of the same image all saved differently which gets to be pretty inconvenient.
A thin white border around the figure that I had edited appeared out of nowhere. I was able to erase it before editing the background but now I can't erase it or remember how I did that.
how to get rid of this line? If by setting the eraser color to the background color, how do I do that? As I get rid of the line, I'd also like to refine the figure's outline so it becomes cleaner.
I am trying to find a faster way to save my images. I shoot in raw, save raw images as jpegs after editing them in Camera Raw. I am using Photoshop CS6 on a Mac version 10.7.5. When I save, I either have to save as a copy of the exisiting image, or replace the image I'm working on. Other forums I've read said to make an action to save and create a function key to make this process faster, but my function keys aren't working, and playing the action I've created still makes a copy of the image.
When NEF (raw files) in LR4 are edited, it generates two additional files: tiff and jpg (by "save as"). Later on, when I want to furhter edit those images, how do I start with? Obviously, I could re-edit from history panel of the orignal NEF file or tiff file using CS5. I wonder which approach is more efficient or convenient?
I was wondering if it was possible to set a setting in Lightroom such that when looking through my images in the Library module, I only see the final edited image. For example, if I send the image to Photoshop to do any retouches, it creates a copy of the file. When I save the file in Photoshop, I then have two images in the Library module. However, I would like to keep all the history, but when browsing through my images I would only like to see the final image.
