 Posted: Thu Feb 16, 2006 1:20 pm Post subject: Major Aliasing Problem |
 |
|
Every photoshop document I open to manipulate has a huge aliasing problem. Any document with colorful backgrounds, glows, gradients, etc have those nice little "jaggies" in the color, noisy blotches- all that stuff. It's very annoying. I've searched photoshops color settings, veiwback prefs, etc. I checked my monitor settings too, but they seem to be fine.
What am I missing?
Thanks.

Do you mean these are images that used to look good? And now they look pixelated?
Where did they come from? Web? What is their resolution?

If I look at these files on another computer, they are nice and smooth. The files range from 72 DPI to 300 DPI.. all different sizes. These did not come from web. They are PSD files I would create myself. It has to do with the way Photoshop is viewing them. I just wanted to know what preference to change or if it is one. It didn't do this before. I really can't remember when it started. Might have started when I switched to CS.

I'd check to make sure you have most current Video Card driver update. And run Adobe Gamma, just for the heck of it.
Can you post a screen shot?

Okay here it is. One image is a Test Jpeg I saved out from Photoshop. The other is a basic Screen Shot I took of the desktop while it was up in Photoshop so you can see what I see.

Banding. Looks like PS is displaying in limited color. Did you try my suggestions? Also try trashing your preferences.
Are you working over a network?
And just to be clear: this is the SAME file? One screenshot viewed in PS and one viewed in another program?

Banding? Is that the term for it? One is just a screenshot of the file in photoshop to show you what I see. The other one is saved smaller so I could post it. I'm sorry but how do you run adobe gamma from a mac? I guess I should know this but I have never done it. I'll trash my prefs.
Thanks for all your help.

Would those preferences be under User>User>Library>Preferences>?
There is a folder called Adobe Photoshop CS Settings, CS2 Settings.. etc. It must still see my CS2 Trial stuff that is no longer. Maybe I should just reinstall photoshop?

Sorry. Thought you were PC. Go to System Preferences>Displays>Color>Calibrate. Use the advanced mode to create a new monitor profile.
To trash PS preferences on a Mac, hold down the Shift+Option+ Command(apple) keys as you launch Photoshop. You’ll get a dialog to delete settings. (Reinstalling does not delete prefs.)
(and that image was never a .gif file, right?)
