Hi everbody. I have a little problem here... When I go and save an image in PS (as any file type, even .psd), the image is darkened when I look at it in the photo viewer, after I upload it, or even in GIMP. The only way I'm able to get the actual contrast that I want/have in my image, is to take a screenshot of the image while making it in PS, then paste the s.s. into GIMP, and save it from there.

See for yourself...


Direct PS save:

Saved through GIMP:

So does anybody know how to stop this from happening? Thanks in advance, its really appreciated.

This is just one more reason why I think GIMP is better than Photoshop -.-

Just because you're not adapt at using Photoshop, doesn't make it worse.

My guess is that the problem is due to transparency in the image.

Well, I was told on another support site to try and re-install the program, so I'm going to try to do that.

You can do just as many things in GIMP (if not a few more) than in PS . That's my opinion, anyway... Only thing I like about PS is it has better blending/bg erasing than GIMP.

What photo viewer you using?

The default one that's with XP . You know, when you double click an image file to view it, the slidshow image viewer that comes up.

Lol, thanks, but it'll get annoying when I want the sig to be bright XD.

Hmm...no idea....reinstall photoshop and it will probably work...

[carnageX]

Well, I uninstalled it then re-installed it... Still no luck =\. Unless any of you ahve any other suggestions... I guess I'll have to deal with it -.-

Thanks for the help though, I really appreciate it.

Go under edit and cheak your colour engine and settings. edit<colourprofile and compare them to mine. May be something that have changed because of something or somehow. I dont play around with these enough to know what though...

Still didn't work =\. I changed it to look like yours... And it didn't help.

Also... After I uninstalled / re-installed, when I open an animated .gif image in PS, and then look in the Animation window, there are no multiple frames... But if i look at it in the photo viewer, or even open it in GIMP, it's animated... I've tried uninstalling it / re-installing it numerous times, and nothing's worked...

Edit: I just tried to open an animated GIF that I made quick before I had gone through uninstalling it over and over, and this is what came up now:

Ok. I found out that it'll let me open it in ImageReady first, then export it to PS. Kind of a pain to do if I want to edit an animation, though. Anyway, I'll send you the graphic, thanks for the help.
