Opening Nikon D300 jpg image (Bridge CS3/file/open with/photoshop) does a sRGB->aRGB conversion. Why?
The D300 metadata shows Color Mode RGB and Color Profile sRGB IEC61966-2.1 so that looks good. PS Color settings/Working Spaces/RGB is set for aRGB and Color Settings/Color Management Polices/RGB is set for Preserve Embedded Profiles (and the three check boxes are checked). I expected the sRGB embedded profile to be preserved but that isn't the case.
I recently switched from a Dell PC to a Mac and wondered if there is an exchange program or an upgrade change to keep from having to buy a whole new copy for the Mac.Â
View 2 Replies View RelatedI use CS3, 3gb of Ram and more then 50mb of free hard disk space.
When I convert a Raw image to Jpg the file size is reduced but opened in CS3 the Image size appears unchanged. What is the correlation between image and file size? I thought the Image Size was the horizontal number of pixels x the vertical. If this is correct and the jpg has less pixels how can CS3 show it as having the same image size?
in addition what is the use of Image Size other than to indicate the print size at a given resolution?
I am working on Photoshop CS3 with 24 bits Bitmap files.
I would like to know how to convert a 24 bits Bitmap files to 565 RGB files.
I like to use LAB fairly often and have done so in CS2 with no trouble. I'm on Windows XP Pro, 1 gb RAM.
Now that I've loaded CS3, same image converts to black. All over black. Edge to edge black. I mean BLACK!
All channels are active (L, a, b). No mask is in effect. My working
space is ProPhoto.
If I convert it back to RGB, the image is still there.
What's going on here with CS3? I've done the usual color settings. I've deleted my preferences.
Also, when loading PSCS3, a message always pops up saying "there must
be at least one document open to run this script!" Don't know where
that comes from either. I'm not trying to run any script, just opening Photoshop?
I'm thinking I'd better uninstall CS3 and start over. Before doing
so, though,
I have recently switched to shoot my photos in RAW format. I do the usual adjustments in Camera Raw and the hit "Open Image". Next is that I save my image as JPEG with the Maximum Quality. Once I look at my saved JPEG file though I find that most of them have a lot of noise and seem not to reflect any adjustments that I did to the RAW file.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI work in a school district that is running an old version of Adobe Photoshop CS3 in a Macintosh environment. The Macs are old 10.4.11 machines that would not print. So, I set up a Windows Server with Macintosh accessible folders and copied files to this server. I then had newer Windows 7 client machines available and copied the files over to their client machines. Some of the files came over to Windows as CS3, but others didn't. They show up as "File" in the format and not as CS3. Is there a workaround for this, or another way to get these files to Windows?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHave been reading thread that one had posted about converting PSD to JPEG. From what I have read, seems as though no matter what you can not replicate the image you have created as PSD. I have worked on a photo that was taken on my BB and to my pleasant surprise have been able to correct several issues. I believe it looks so much better because of flattening and 16bit application.
Must say color, focus(originally was terribly out of focus) everything is great. However, cannot covert and keep the work I have already done with Photoshop. Can I convert to JPEG or any other format that allows sharing without sacrificing what I have as PSD ?
I am working with a .jpg(rgb) straight off of a camera, I have converted it to CMYK as this is a photograph that is going to be submitted and printed and they want it CMYK , obviously.
Now I am aware that CMYK isn't as 'colourful' as RGB so I understand that.. Only when I save my photograph and open it, it is completely different to the photoshop file. COMPLETELY! And even when I reopen it in photoshop it is different.. See the image/attachment below is Photoshop vs Just open...
I have tried just the simple
Save As > .jpg
Save for Web as Jpg
Save for Web as Png
they are all doing the same?
I use CS5 on a Mac.
I have a multitude of old edits with the ext .pspimage. I have googled and tried the 2 most likely options I found with no success, is there any way to open them in CS6. I would like to convert them and save them as .psd. There must be a way surely.
View 12 Replies View RelatedI recently photographed a set of pastels in raw. The body of work has been reviewed and the final color balance has been approved by the artist. I now need to export the images from their raw files to CMYK. to provide for offset printing. Adobe provides a number of options. I am completely lost on the options to select.
Â
The Source Space is Adobe RGB 1998
Â
The Color Space Conversion Options are:
Â
Conversion Options
Â
Engne:
   Adobe (ACE)
   Microsoft ICM
   Adobe CMM
Â
Intent:
   Perceptual
   Saturation
   Relative Colorimetric
   Absolute Colorimetric
Â
Selections with Selection Boxes
   Use Black Point Compensation
   Use Dither
Â
And, of course there is a CMYK Set of selection options that I assume are based on the paper the printer will use.
Â
Do you have a recommendation on the Engine, Intent, Black Point, and Dither.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm working on an image that I imported from an .eps file. I just noticed that it's in CMYK. I'm almost done, so I can't restart. I guess because .eps files are mainly used for printing from, it defaults to CMYK. ANyway, when I go to covnert to RGB it says it may alter the appearance. I can't see any difference, but I don't want to come back and kick me later. Does anyone know of any serious problems that can arise from changin image modes halfway through?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've found a peculiar problem with grey scale conversion in Photoshop CS5.
Â
The problem:
Â
I have black and white photos in an RGB colour space. I can't use a black and white layer adjustment because there are no color channels in the image. I used the 'image > mode> greyscale' menu item to convert to greyscale, and in photoshop there appears to be no change to the greyscale values. However, when I place the image in inDesign, it is markedly different; blacks are pure black but greys are washed out.
I print the two images side by side (RGB and greyscale) and they come out identical (though darker than I expected). Is inDesign showing RGB or Greyscale differently on screen? I have the display settings at 'high quality'.
On photo raw conversion, where is the 'restore' function on Photoshop CC?

I'm using CS3. In the Camera Raw 4.6 import window the color looks great. When I get the image into Photoshop the color looks horrible. I know it's the color profile that Raw is assigning. My question... is there a way to disable the color profile conversion coming from Camera Raw?
I've always had great results without using profiles and now this alters my color. I've even tried to go in and force the image to use a different color profile but at this point the damage has been done by the camera raw plugin.
I have 1000 or so CR2 raw files that I need to convert into 2000 px .jpg files. I tried the batch and action combo but I can’t get past when the file is opened in camera raw and the action stops.
View 3 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to convert from Canon Raw to Adobe Digital Negative (dng) while retaining the file name? For instance, I would like for "IMG_1709.CR2" to become "IMG_1709.dng" rather than New "File01.dng". Currently, it seems to force me into choosing a new file name. I want the file to be converted but want to retain the portion of the filename that appears in front of the "." (dot).
View 2 Replies View RelatedWith previous versions of Photoshop, when an RGB image in a given RGB colourspace was converted to CMYK by choosing Mode -> CMYK, it would convert to whatever CMYK was set as the Working Space in the Color Settings. With CS4 there's a warning dialogue that appears that makes one wonder if CS4 is behaving differently. It now says:
"You are about to convert to CMYK with no color profile. This may not be what you intend. To choose a profile, use Edit > Concert To Profile".
The resulting CMYK would certainly *have a profile* as it's the default selected in the Color Settings > Working Spaces menu. It's the same as if I had a CMYK file and selected Mode > RGB. This would convert from CMYK to whatever default RGB space is set in the Working Spaces menu. Yet from CMYK to RGB there is no such warning. Why not... the same logic would seem to apply.
I think the warning just confuses to user and makes them think an error's about to occur. A more appropriate warning might be:
"You are about to convert to your default CMYK (Color Settings > Working Spaces). This may not be what you intend. To choose another profile, use Edit > Convert To Profile".
When working in AdobeRGB I can soft proof to either windowsRGB or MonitorRGB or my printer/paper profile and all looks well.
After I've done a conversion to sRGB, the only soft proof that still looks correct is WindowsRGB. MonitorRGB is especially bad about pumping up the red saturation. If the file was built using sRGB I don't have this problem, only when converting.
Why won't my converted files soft proof on my monitor and why is it that the red saturation is getting increased?
Someone mentioned a utility (maybe a ps plug-in?) that some guy made that will mass convert files from one type to another etc.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm using Photoshop 7.01. I have a bunch of 16-bit TIFFs that I want to batch convert to 8-bit JPEG FINE.
I created a manual action, which works fine, hook it up to F2 and open up 50 tiffs at the same time. Start hitting F2 and the files disappear and I end up with a nice bunch of jpegs.
Now I want to automate it, so I create a new action.
Open TIFF
Change to 8-bit
Save as jpeg
Close
When I run a batch, choose a source folder and target folder, and kick it off, I see all the files open and close, but only the first one (used in my example to create the action) ends up as a jpeg, followed by a bunch of TIFFs.
As far as I can tell, the action opens all the files one after the other, but it always saves the same file.
So, in my output folder, I get 1 JPEG followed by 250 different TIFFs, but the JPEG always appears on my screen for a split second during the save sequence, so it looks like it is being saved 250 times...
my colleague has many cool fonts, on a Mac. I use a PC. How can I convert them? I use Adobe Photoshop 7, and I probably have other Adobe programs at my disposal.
