I'm currently editing a headshot I've taken in Photoshop. It was originally shot in RAW, brought into photoshop in ProPhoto colour space (desaturated to be like B+W).
I've gone through a number of edits, and every time I attempt to export it to another file format (tif being my goal) it saves the pictures as a much brighter and washed out shade of gray.
I've tried changing the color space to adobe 1998 rgb (as I normally do for printing), srgb, "dot gain 20%", grayscale 2.2, and a few others. Always the same.
I've tried saving it as a JPG, but not only does the preview save look a much lighter gray, the "Original" is shown with a very blatent B+W checkerboard pattern over it which does Not show up in the preview JPG. I can only assume that Has to be a clue.
I've had this problem before occasionally but never been able to solve it without starting from scratch and just having it not happen. I did a lot of cleanup work on this picture though and Really can't start over on it. I hope this is something simple that's wrong.
Thanks for the help! -Very- much! |

Are you saving it with a matte on? A Transparency?
Are you working in Layers? have you flattened the image and then save it to see what happens?
The original looks fine? That you have edited.
I would check what ALL my preferences are set at.
You can see where it is going wrong at, load up the pic again from RAW, then save right away and see if it does the same thing. Then you will know if it was a RAW problem from the start (then you would have to start over and check all of your RAW settings).

No Matte, no transperence. Bringing the original photo in from raw again with the same settings and immediatly saving it caused the same result.
I took the top layer (the only one that had been visible) all the others were invisible), and copied it into a new image, and its still doing it.
The most important thing so far seems to be the fact that when I'm converting to jpg as a test it is showing some sort of dark gray/light gray checkerboard pattern over the -Before image that is Not in the jpg, and does Not show up on the other photos that saved to Tif wiouth difficulty.
Also, when I go to "flatten image", it's making the image turn light gray just as when I'm exporting it, and I have no idea why that is, or if its normal.
Thanks!! |
