  • Colour Problem?

    Something very very odd has been happening recently with... well, my computer in general. It all started the morning a couple days ago when there was a power surge in my house and the computer got restarted while I was working in photoshop. Ever since then the colour of things seem to be really messed.

    It seems whenever I save something in photoshop the way I normally do, it either becomes really thick and messed, or creates odd squares and borders. I have tried it with both Photoshop CS3 and Photoshop CS2, reinstalled both, and everything, it still happens. I have a few examples.

    Left is how it looks in photoshop. Right is how it looks when I open it in MS Paint. Even weirder, when I upload it to the internet, for me it looks the way it should (like in the left image), but I have a friend who ends up seeing it messed up (like in the right image).

    This is the weird thick blotching:




    Odd squares & weird border (on my pixel art):






    What is wrong? How can I fix things? I have tried reinstalling photoshop, and even switching from CS3 back to CS2, nothing seems to fix this problem.

    How are you saving the original file?

    If you're using 'save for web', turn off 'matte'

      I've tried using save for web as well as just the plain way of saving it. and I'm saving it as a PNG.

        I was able to closely replicate your problem by saving for web, png, WITH MATTE (color = eyedropper).

        When I turned OFF the matte, the problem disappeared.

          well I don't think that's it. When I save, I've tried both 'save for web' as well as the normal way of saving. Both times I saved it with transparency as a PNG, and Matte was not on.

            Lighter colours in JPEG after saving
            by Mike Needham
            Heeelp!!

            Its driving me nuts! Since reformatting and reinstalling photoshop I have had a peculiar problem. In photoshop my colours are deep and vibrant, whenever I save to JPEG it alters the colours (more correctly the gamma) to a lighter version.

            I presume this has to...

            PSE3 and web colour problems in SRGB
            by Paul W
            I have a problem that when I post to web the colours I see in any browser look more washed out than I see for the same image in PSE3 or Lightroom. I should add straight away that the image is sRGB and I have a calibrated monitor using a Spyder2. I have struggled with this problem for weeks.

            How to specify Colour
            by Dewcal
            I was recently asked to supply a figure on a specific background colour to allow a seamless insertion into a web site. The colour I was asked for was "#C0DFFD" so I duly filled a layer in PS using the Paint Bucket and typed in the above code into the colour picker and sent off the image....
