Hey Guys,
I am a freelance Photographer who primarily shoots night events (shows, clubs, etc.) and I am having some issues with my images coming out darker when I save them as JPEGS. I am shooting with a Canon 60D (Adobe RGB) and at the moment editing the photos in the Adobe RAW Editor (Adobe RGB). When I am editing the photos in the RAW Editor they appear to be in 24bit, but when I save them as JPEG (Adobe RGB) they appear to be more like 32bit (much much darker). Any ideas as to why this is happening? I would really just like the finished product to be what I'm seeing in my RAW Editor.
---> Side note, I just realized the images are only darker when viewing them through Windows Photo Viewer and Facebook (where the photos will primarily be housed). Does anyone know why the images are vastly darker when viewed through these applications? This is definitely a viewer problem. So how can I make my images look how they are supposed to while using things like Facebook?
Thanks in advance,
Matt

***UPDATE***
None of my replies appear to be going through so I'll just post them here. Before posting this thread I attempted to save them as sRGB but it still had the same affect. I also just tried Steve's Save for Web method and have the same issue.
I believe I am saving them properly as JPGs (I will supply a screen shot in this post). MrTom, when I say 32bit what I meant was if you are editing an image in Photoshop and you change the color mode from 8bit to 32bit, it looks similar to the drastic darkness as seen with 32bit.
A mini solution I have discovered is to +70 the Black levels, this evens out the photos to roughly what I was going for once they save. I would greatly prefer an actual fix, but this will do if all else fails.
Thanks for all the feedback!
Just done a substantial amount of work on a particular project which called for a PDF file.
No probs...File > Save As > Sweet as...
Back to original PSD file...

Why is photoshop saving as PDF?
Save As...(PSD)
Bam!
All Layers gone.
One flattened PSD file.
Thanks Adobe....NOT!
I read the warning about saving as PDF too......it said it CAN change the Save As settings in the Save As dialog...
...Didn't say it bloody well would!
Why does it do that? Why change the settings? Just what is Adobe on? Can I have some? Please.
Lesson learnt on that one....but what a stoooooopid thing to do!

Hi all, I'm new to the forum and I'm a freelance researcher in image editing.
I'm italian, so sorry in advance for my english .
I'm also a little crazy , I left my job as employee 'cause I believe in my researches and I want to make them my only job.
I developed a new effect for substituting colors in images. I would like to test the goodness of this new approach useful for retouching photos ... so I ask you a little collaboration, if you want to help me, you should retouch the image that I attached in this way: change the color of the pen fromred to white.
It's important to me to know how much time you spent in retouching the image and what applications you used for achieving the result, so please post the altered image together with the requested info. In a few days I'll post the image elaborated with my algorithm.
Really thanks to all, in advance, for the collaboration.

I have a folder of images.
I need to place, resize and center each image on top of one master (the same) image over and over for each image in the folder.
Then I need save or export each final image as a jpeg in a folder.
Also, it would be really cool if I run a script or droplet for single images at will.
I'm still a little confused by batch processing.
Your help would be very appreciated.
Hey everyone,
I'm looking for a few Adobe Photoshop actions and Adobe Lightroom presets to help add a little flare to my photos. At the moment, I'm subscribed to Adobe Bloom for my action needs.
Please reply with high quality options and I'll definitely go take a look!
Hi everyone, I introduced myself in a former thread. Name is Katie. I'm not new to Photoshop but am new to the more murky world of saving formats for various uses, printing, etc. I am in grad school, we're between semesters, and of all things they haven't really talked about saving! This week I was freelancing and saving to .JPG and .PNG, multiple images.
Problem:
I edited 150 images of product for a retail website on photoshopCS6. Company requires three sizes: two in .jpg, one in .png. Each image was in its own layer, in a group folder; a drop shadow effect was applied to the whole folder. For ea size requirement, I changed the canvas, resized all images at once to fit within it and ran the script.
I was able to run the Script on PS to batch save the .jpgs, and they RETAINED their canvas pixel dimensions in each image (700x525; 170x170). When I ran the same script to PNG-24, it worked but it DID NOT retain the canvas size and they were all wildly different.
I did some research, and found that people had to install script fixes to do this. I installed Dr. Russell's script for Image Processor Pro that should work in PS and Bridge. I tried it, still didn't work to retain size of PNGs. Am I simply using it wrong? Is that the only way to batch save certain file formats?
Because the images were due this morning, I individually saved every png ("save as" not "web/Devices") to ensure they were all 300x350.
I need to know there's a better way to do this for all other file formats, so I don't have to painstakingly save each image.
Hi all,
I have a problem with an image that I would appreciate your help with.
As you can see below, the image is a t-shirt shape made up of several images like a collage/mosaic (ignore the fact that the same image is repeated, they will eventually be different images).
I have achieved this by applying clipping masks to the different image layers over the top of the t-shirt image. What I now want to do is individually save all of these images so that they can be used as buttons in Adobe Flash. This is the part I am having trouble with.
I have tried using the slice tool which does work however the saved slices are all square shaped when obviously each individual image is not always a square/rectangle. Even saving them as a .png with a transparent background, I still can't use them as when they are brought into Flash, the whole square area becomes clickable as a button which I don't always want.
Hope I've made sense there!
Thank you.
So I have to do some begging and pleading on behalf of my sister...she had a very unfortunate situation where the photographer for her bridal portraits became very ill and failed to find a replacement. I have shot landscape photography pretty well for years and done some portraits so I got her phone call. She asked if I would shoot some urgent bridal portraits, which I did.
The pictures turned out decently. However, despite knowing how to use a camera, I am lost when it comes to editing. I am hoping there is a kind soul who is willing to help me with editing 2 or 3 photos. I have RAW images and there are no major changes--just altering sharpness, contrast, tones, etc. There is not cutting, blending, or anything involved necessary. I could just process the images and print "as is" and they would be decent, but I know someone who knows what they are doing could make them so much better.
Would anyone be willing to help me help her? She has a wedding photographer lined up now but really wants a decent bridal portrait for the reception. Her wedding is this coming Saturday. If anyone is kind enough to help me out editing some shots, please PM me. Thanks in advance for your kind consideration!
I'm taking pictures of a product 360 degrees and noticed small variations of light and color and want to equalize between all images.
I do not want to apply the same effect at all, so I do know the Automate.
I want to adjust all the photos based on a standard photo with adjustable pre-defined levels and colors.
If you can do this with a batch command would be better.
See the three images has a small variation in the light which can be seen in the background of the image. I want to equalize it between all images.
Sorry my english, I'm from Brazil.
Thank you
Hi,
I am very fond of Colour alterations on a photo through manipulating RGB or CMYK channels. I recently stumbled upon a method that gave a rather very interesting colour effect I think. I deleted the blue channel out of my RGB image, that left me with cyan and magenta channels. However the problem is that I cannot save that image with the usual formats such as PNG and JPEG. I can only save it as PSD and a bunch of other technical formats. I suppose it is because a channel is missing. I have tried to fill the blue channel with black but that did not give the same effect. Is there a way to save the image with that colour effect, or somehow achieving the exact same result through a method without deleting a channel?
I'd really appreciate your help. Merry Christmas and happy new year.
Good morning everyone, I have not used a forum like this before, so please bear with me
I'm a dancer (in a Gentleman's Club) and I have to take photos for work...Nothing smutty,or nude,just stuff to load onto a Facebook page. However I'm rubbish at taking the photos, always end up with junk in the background, looking really amateur. I have tried using the edit photos option on my phone, but seem equally useless at that lol. If I post a distinctly average attempt at a photo on here,can you guys show me the best that can be done with it?
Kindest regards
Nicola
