my question, why are the colors like this? i do not know of any settings i changed, i just pasted a picture into photoshop and the colors became all weird. how to make it "regular" again?
I'm having a little problem with Photoshop cs.
When I start a new image and paste from my clipboard the image shows up looking very red. I'm not sure what the problem is. I've messed around with the color presets and color modes but nothing seems to help.
I'm using the RGB color mode 16bit.
My colors are completely off in photoshop from the real image. I've already checked to make sure it's not the monitor, the color is fine there. I've already read the forums that say to simply turn on "Proof Colors." That does changes the colors how they should be. HOWEVER, if I try and export the file out as a png or anything, they are exported with the messed up color rather than the "proof colors." BUT if I open the image up in microsoft paint, it appears to be right, but only with paint. If I open the image with anything else (reader, indesign, picaso, etc.), the color is always messed up. I even tried exporting the png to someone else thinking it was just my computer, no luck. For some reason, I can't export anything without it using crazy colors (just like if "proof colors" was unchecked). I've tried deleting preferance and playing around with the color settings. What can I do?
here's my spects:
Windows 8
2013 Asus Laptop
Photoshop CS6
I just updated my Catalyst to 13.1 and now here is how some of my blues look like: [URL].... how to fix this besides rolling back the driver?

View 5 Replies View RelatedSomething happened to my photoshop that messes up the fonts. They all look like caps when I type (no I don't have capslock on :P). Not the seize (they are normal seize) but the form of the letters. ie. all my a's look like A, not a and all my e's look like E, not e. Very different form and because of this my curly fonts etc. look very ugly and unclear now.

1. When you go to save as the file formats selections are not what you get. For instance jpeg gives you EPS. Multi Picture Format gives you jpeg. What gives?
2. One of the plugins that worked fine under filters is missing. When I copied the things from the old CS5 plugins folder to CS6 folder it still is not showing up..
I've somehow managed to completely mess up my color profiles in Photoshop CS5. What a total Gormlops I am.
1 - ACR displays colours from RAW files as lifeless and dull compared to JPEG. I've searched countless forums and I'm lead to understand that RAW files don't include the 'in-camera' processing that we see on the JPEGS. What I don't understand is that ACR used to display the colors on my RAW files exactly like it did with JPEG files so although I understand the difference in the way ACR handles RAW vs JPEG why has this only become noticeable in the last few months? I've had this installation of CS5 for almost 2 years and the problem crept in only recently.
2 - Proof Colors Confusion
I mostly work on the web and rarely need to print. Round about the same time the above problem reared it's ugly head I also started having issues with how many graphics colours looked in CS5. I realized that half of the time I was working with 'Proof Colours' switched off which made my colours really intense (something to do with gamma).
I checked my 'Proof Setup' and switched it to Internet sRGB seeing as I mostly work with web graphics and photos. I then hit Ctrl+Y to switch on Proof Colours and now I see the colours as they really are.
My question for this is twofold - Am I correct to be working in sRGB and is there ar way to have 'Proof Colours' always switched on so that I only EVER see the 'actual' colours that others will see when I publish my files to the web?
These two issues arose at the same time and are linked. I tried installing a demo of CS6 in the hopes it would set me back to where I used to be but alas nothing changed.
I recently purchased cs4 to update from CS3 and I have installed it without problem. But when I open my images they appear in different shapes and most of them are barely visible due to a crosshatch pattern on them. I can't figure out what is wrong with them its not my computer because i never had a problem with CS3.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI accidentally had my files marked at 16 bits/channel, went ahead and saved them as jpegs. Got a software prompt prior to saving that said "File must be saved as a copy with this selection." I did not know what it meant. I went ahead with the save. Now I am realizing my mistake because I have tried printing my images at a lab and the colors are WAY off. Very gray and horrible. I have my master files saved as psd files as well and have opened those, changed the bits/channel to 8, tried to print and the colors are still awful. I have many files that were saved this way. There has to be some kind of a fix without me having to re-edit dozens and dozens of photos.

I do have an althernate plug-in dir set in preferences (I do not want to reinstall all my 3rd party plugs from CS 5.1!) So what to do? If I remove the old plug dir from preferences, I loose my plugs but get Enable to work right!

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a weird texture issue in Softimage.When viewing my model in softimage, everything looks fine. However, when I export to FBX and re-import, half the model texture looks messed up; while the UVs look fine in the viewport:

When I look closely, I notice that the UVs have somehow been rotated in such a way that they look fine, but the edges are all rotated wrongly (the seams don't match up anymore and I can't island select areas)

Exporting to .obj doesn't seem to give this issue, but this is not a good solution as I may need to animate the robot in the very near future...
Sometimes (Alot of times) ill go to put a brush down and it comes up all smudged and messed up looking, other times it works. Here's a pic of the error.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI had been using VSX2 on my old computer (XP Home OS) and saving my projects as .flv files for uploading to Youtube with no issues. Last spring I put together a new computer which I thought would be much better and faster at rendering the files. The new computer uses Windows 7 64 bit and I applied the VSX2 patch for Windows 7. When I save a project as a .flv file on the new computer the audio in the resulting file is totally messed up, just hisses, pops and crackles. The video looks fine. Saving projects in other video formats seems to work okay.
I recently got back into wanting to post video to Youtube and have been trying to figure out what is causing the audio problem. I purchased the upgrade to VSX3, assuming that would fix it but the results are still the same. I do have other software that will not run on Windows 7 so I have set my computer up to dual boot with XP Pro. As an experiment, after I upgraded the Windows 7 OS to VSX3 I installed the redundant copy of VSX2 on the XP Pro OS. I then used the same original files from the camcorder to re-create as nearly as I could the same project as I had been trying to make with the W7 VSX3 on the XP VSX2 version. The file produced in XP works perfectly with no audio issues.
As a side note, the file size of the same project produced in W7 VSX3 is almost double the file size produced in XP VSX2. I am "Create Video File" as FLV (640x480). I see from another thread that I may be better to be saving as FLV(320x240) although that doesn't make sense to me. I am not very knowledgeable about the different formats and their uses. I did produce one series as mp4 files but the video quality seemed to be poorer than the way I had been doing it.
I think I started noticing this problem in 2013, but not sure. It's definitely happening in 2014 still.Basically I import an obj file. It looks fine, but there are a few parts grouped together. I grab them by selecting element, and detach. Boom! Now the normals are all messed up on the detached object.
and the same thing happens often when attaching other objects. Sometimes the normals just get flipped completely around even.
I deleted a lot of old photos from my external hard drive, which seems to have messed up my link of some photos to LR. When I got on yesterday, one huge wedding collection showed the "offline or missing ?" thing but still showed the actual photo. In trying to re-link the photos to LR, I think I did two things that royally messed me up. I opened up an older catalog, which had the large wedding collection, but it now turned up the photos as totally blank. The collection still shows 2000+ photos in it, and each photo shows the little symbols that show which have been edited, and they still show the ? in the top corner, but no photo.how to reconnect the photos without messing more photos up?
View 6 Replies View Relatedwhat I do is design one half of my design first. When I like what I have I duplicate that part of the design and then mirror it horizontally. I then save the file. Close out of the program. Turn it back on the next day, and some of my gradients are now messed up on the side that was mirrored.
As you can see the left snippet is how it should look, the right mirrored snippet's gradients should match but the don't. Some of the gradient. (not all of them though). It's really bizarre. It doesn't happen often, the only times I can remember it happening is when working on really large complex designs. Oh also, it is effecting gradient fills and transparency linear gradients.
I recently installed CS5 on my laptop after first removing it from my previous machine.All licences were validated so no problems there.Now when using paint bucket in Photoshop, the colors that I select in the color picker are not the colors that result when I use the paint bucket.
If I create a new black canvas then the colors selected in color picker work with paint bucket.But if I attempt to recolor the background in an existing image that I import into Photoshop, I get the mismatch with colors when I use paint bucket. My method for selecting colors is the same in each case, I select 'set foreground color' and set the color using html values entry at the bottom of the panel.
Just wanted to print a new photo and realized that the colors in print preview do not match the colors in soft proofing. In both cases I selected the same icc profile and rendering method. The print colors matched the colors in print preview. I never had a problem so far. All new prints will be checked with soft proofing and adjusted when necessary. I never paid attention to the color rendition in print preview and all prints perfectly matched the colors from the soft proofing. I was surprised when my print came out of the printer and the colors weren't matching the soft proofing colors, but that of the print preview.
I don't understand why Photoshop renders the colors differently in the first place. See attached screenshot for the difference in the blue/cyan colors. I don't care if the print view colors will match the print, but I do care when soft proofing is not working.
The colors of pictures is much darker when working in photoshop than when I open it normally. And vice versa, I work on images inside photoshop, and I get the colors I want, but once I save it to bmp or jpg or anything else, all the colors are much lighter.
i'm using photoshop 7.
From the attached image you can see what I'm talking about.
(left=original, middle=ROTATE, right=PROPERTIES)
When I rotate blocks using ROTATE command everything is fine, but when I rotate blocks using PROPERTIES my attributes get messed.
I need to rotate several blocks at once with PROPERTIES, because I don't have time to rotate each one separately.
The same thing happens when scaling blocks, but this was resolved using the command BSCALE in the command line.
CDX5: Whatever color I select for fill or outline is now set as the default color for fills and outlines without expressly setting it as such. Until now when I left or right click a color with nothing selected it allowed me to set it as a default fill or outline color for graphics, artistic text, or paragraph text. It does not do that now.
Is this a "feature" that's been added that I somehow enabled? In any event, how do I turn it off?
We are working with a company that will be sending us DWG files. They do not use the same layer colors as us and I am trying to find a lisp that would allow me to set up a table with the layer names and the color I want them to be so that I can quickly change all the layers to our companys color standards.
Example:
Layer 1 = Color 1
Layer 2 = Color 15
Layer 3 = Color 10
Etc.
I don't know a lot about lisp but I figure if I could find a lisp that did this I could plug in my layer/color assignments and it would work.
Using CS6 on a MacBookPro Is there a way to find the closest matching Pantone spot colors to the cmyk colors I've created in Illustrator? I know it's easy in Photoshop using the color picker, but there must be a way to do this in Illustrator.

This is only occuring in one specific drawing. Is there a preference that I switched somewhere that would make this happen? I have double checked that everything is ByLayer or ByColor that I can think of. If I insert this color chart into other drawings it looks fine. using C3D 2012.
I would just restart my drawing, however it is the new company template file that I have invested many hours into and would really like to be able to keep working with it and not start over. Or is there a good way to import and overwrite all the Prospector settings into a blank drawing?

I am having a problem with Photoshop 8 not displaying the correct colors. I can see the correct colors when I go to Save for Web or when I paste saved files into another program like Illustrator.
Has anyone got any idea how to fix or analyze this?
I'm working on a design for a web. It's quite colorful with bright colors. In Photoshop it looks exactly the way I want it to look, but when I export it as JPG, PNG or even BMP then the colors seem to be a bit lesser bright... they don't look that lively anymore.
What could be the problem? I understand that PNG and JPG may have some restrictions, but at least BMP should be able to reflect every pixel the way it is shown in Photoshop, isn't it?
My colors inside Photoshop are off. I'm using CS and when I create an image and select save for web, the colors that the preview shows are quite a bit lighter than the ones that am using inside the application.
It does this for all images. I edit them in photoshop, save them in any format, and then open them outside of photoshop and they are brighter.
