Photoshop :: Switched To Mac / CS6 And Photos Washed Out
Sep 30, 2013
I'm new to photography but taking every chance I can to learn and slowly upgrade my tools. I recently switched from a PC(CS3) to Macbook Pro(CS6). Since doing so, I am having a huge problem. My photos show up exactly as I want them to on my Mac, in and out of Photoshop, but look washed out almost everywhere else, including the web, on PC's and in print(Shutterfly). There are a few exceptions like facebook, but still not all of the photos show up the same quality as what I saw on my Mac.
Â
I thought I did a good job of calibrating my Mac and I'm not doing anything different in PS, but I'm completely lost on what could be causing this.I can upload one of my jpg's so you can see what I'm seeing off my Mac if needed.

I'd be grateful for any tips anyone has for processing some photos to look in some way like these photos from the 1940s (including any possible effects aging has had) :
To begin with, I've read in various places that desaturating is not always the best way to change a colour photo to B&W, depending on the results you're after, and I'm thinking that perhaps this might be one of those times ?

Lightroom 4 catalog does not recognize photos when external hard drive switched to a different USB port. The photos are in My Photopraphs in an external hard drive. I recently had to switch ports and now the catalog can't find the photos.

Why do my images look washed out after I have worked in Photoshop CS6 and saved them in Finder? I have been a Photoshop user for a while now and have never experienced this problem. It started 2 months ago and no one can seem to tell me why or how to fix it. I am a professional photographer and I have clients waiting on their images but I can't send them looking as horrible as they do. My workflow is: drag and drop an image from iPhoto or Finder to Photoshop. I change things like levels, contrast, image size and use the healing too.
Then I save to Finder so I can upload to dropbox or to website or burn to a DVD. Now when I save the image the thumbnail looks washed out, without color and looks horrible!!! I don't know if my photo files are corrupted or ? If I open the image in Photoshop or Bridge it looks fine. Things were working just fine, but not now.

I do a lot of digital art in PS. I noticed that when I convert my PSDs to JPGs, my colors get washed out (they get darker if the image is generally dark). I know that I lose quality during compression, but I've seen lots of JPGs that don't seem to suffer it as drastically. Is there some sort of setup that I can do before hand to make sure the colors in my PSD match that of my JPG more closely in the final result?

My jpg thumbnails and previews look washed out in the folders of Windows explorer, but are correct and vivid when I open them in Photoshop. This only happens with files I edit, and has started since updating to the Creative Cloud CS6. How can I get the thumbnails to match - I am concerned about client impressions when seeing them on their systems. I have checked all of the export and color settings I can think of, but can't seem to get them accurate.

My RAW files look washed out, in camera I introduced warm colours by setting it on cloudy and set to vivid. They look great in other programs, how do I retain the original colors?

I've been using CS2 all morning, dragging and dropping images from Canon's Zoombrowser and doing minor editing. All of a sudden half an hour ago, images' colors became incorrect, much brighter and more washed out than they should be. I figure I must have hit a hotkey that changed something. I've checked through all settings I know of, and must be missing the correct one. Images are displayed correctly in other programs, including Imageready, and images that appear incorrect in PS that are resaved within PS also display correctly in other programs.

Any t-shirt designers in the house? I'm trying to design a couple of graphics for t-shirts in Photoshop and want to give the artwork that old, vintage, washed look. Can someone share some of these tricks with me.

Anybody know why a web design created in Photoshop in the sRGB workspace would appear washed out when viewed in a web browser? I have designed a new web site in Adobe CS4 Mac using the sRGB (IEC61966-2.1) workspace. When I save the images for the web, the colors look slightly, but consistently, washed out when I view them in my browser.
Even the background color appears washed out (which was reproduced in CSS using the #959fba hex value provided by Photoshop). The best information I could find on this subject via Google was the following article... [Hm, forum says I'm too new of a member to be allowed to post a link, but the article is titled "Tips for Managing Web Color in Photoshop" at CreativePro.com]
...But I'm doing everything they recommend in that article, and yet #959fba still looks deeper and richer in Photoshop CS4 than it does in Firefox 3.0.6.

I have been working on a drawing for a client in the Metric template, everything displayed in metric, measures in metric, etc. Then this morning when I opened the file, the measurements have switched to imperial. The profile is still the metric one, and when I enter a value for a line length it is clearly using metric because it goes where I expect it to go, however the numbers displayed onscreen are in imperial. Is there an easy way to get this to switch back to displaying in Imperial?

Is there an way that I can get an new layer that I create to be frozen in all existing viewports on my drawing. I know you can freeze an newly created layer for all new viewports but that does not solve the fact that the new layer will show on all existing viewports.

Just installed C3D on my Dell POS Windows 7 machine (OS is up to date).
I have noticed that the functionality between using the F3 and F8 keys reverses itself when first used. If I hit F3 I turn Ortho ON/OFF. If I hit it again, I turn Osnap ON/OFF. If I do the F3 key, then do it again to get the Osnaps set how I want, then go to the F8 key to set the Ortho mode back to where it was before I hit F3, it changes my Osnap setting, and I end up chasing my tail around and around. I can use the SCREEN buttons down below my working area. but I prefer keys, finding it far easier to hit F3 without even having to look at the key board rather than put my cursor over the little square of turn Osnaps ON/OFF there.Â

I'm running photoshop CS3 in a macbook pro under windows xp, and I want to add color to something in my picture. I used "selective color" (Layer > adjustments > selective color) to add color to a whitish-looking robe that is worn by a character that I created in photoshop earlier, but even when I move the slider to +100 % the color is still too washed out (will add images later). I know from experience using Photoshop CS 3 in my old laptop (a HP Compaq Presario X6000 running windows XP)Â that to get the depth of color I want in my character's robe, I shouldn't have to move the slider all the way to +100 %. Is there any way to fix this so I can get the same color depth I got when I used my old laptop? P.S. When I choose "selective color" a dialogue box comes up. I left the settings in this dialogue box as they are seen in the image, and clicked "ok".

Lightroom 5 today suddenly switched to dutch, even though in teh preferences screen it's still set to english. I can't find a way to switch it back to english. It seems to have done this after I installed the app manager update (which quite frankly is pretty horrid now).
Â
How to get lightroom back to english? I don't want to have to relearn all these technical terms.

I have the full CS Suite 3 and my issue is with the Photoshop aspect. It has worked for me beautifully for many years and, unfortunately, has come into a problem recently. When I select a color using the eyedropper tool (sample size 3 by 3 Average) it selects the color. Then, upon attempting to paint that color, it uses a color that is washed out by comparison. It selects the right color but the paint brush (I'm using the standard, 27 pixel soft brush, normal mode, 100% opacity, 100% flow) will not paint that color. It looks like it's adding more white to it or adding a muddled grey color. I'm not amused with this at all.
Â
I'm not certain whether it is my having accidentially hit something as to make this happen or if it is the program glitching. I uninstalled and reinstalled and, unfortunately, am still finding the problem. I will try uninstalling and reinstalling again (this time deleting all the preferences) to see if that may fix it. It does this with multiple images (all .psd files, multiple layers) so I know that it's not the single file being corrupt.

Gamma 2.2, Gamma 1.8. Linear workflow, exposure, input - output etc. how NOT to get washed out images using sun&sky. For example, you use daylight system to render a car with carpaint, the carpaint mat is washed out. No matter what settings are used. Some renders look as if each A&D material stayed nicely saturated and crisp while most don't. I know that the daylight system is supposed to mimic real lighting conditions, but there has to be a way to preserve a nice rich crisp A&D color on renders.

I recently started working with the new adobe cc programs. I haven't encountered these problems before. I have created everything using CMYK and used no images. I checked the colors in InDesign CC and the colors looked washed out as well. I checked overprint view and the colors don't change in Illustrator.
Â
The left is a screenshot of Illustrator and the right is a screenshot of PDF.
 Â
Adobe CC uses synced color profiles so the colors should be the same across all adobe products right?

When I plot to PDF using DWG to PDF.pc3 the drawing appears to be washed out, some things are darker than others. I am using Autocad 2011 and Adobe Acrobat 9 and 10.
I do not have this problem when I print from Autocad 2009 .
As I am working on a project this evening, at home, and only Autocad 2011 here, and Adobe Acrobat 10.
My plot setting are identical in 2011 as they are in 2009.

I'm somewhat green on the print side of things. I understand that pantone coated vs uncoated are formulated for printing on coated or uncoated papers.
Â
why do the uncoated color swatches in the illustrator color book look so washed out? The coated swatches look very vibrant. Is this just a visual approximation of how the colors will look after absorbed into uncoated paper? They just look so dramatically different, I can't really match a rich color I'm trying to reproduce with any of the uncoated swatches (for a projecct being printed on uncoated paper stock).

I was working on pictures this evening in Photoshop CS, everything was fine. Later on this evening I noticed that all my photos, which had photoshop icons next to them, now have QuickTime Pictureviewer icons on them instead. I've done nothing to change them at all - how do I revert my photos back to the photshop icons that they all had in the first place?

Attempting for the first time camera animation, but the rendered movie appears to be faded, washed out, loss of color- not sure the proper term here. Â Attached image shows original, with window in upper left showing washed out color in movie animation rendering.

When I export my slideshow in LR5, then view it in Quicktime, it looks washed out. Even the opening screen which is pure black in Lightroom, looks washed out. I've never had this happen before.
