Hi guy's? So I'm experiencing a specific problem with my photoshop that I have been unable to solve. So the problem in question is, when open my photos using photoshop, they usually open in camera raw first since I shoot raw. Unfortunately when I'm done tweaking the photo and open it in photoshop, there always seem to be a loss of quality!!! I need help because this is really frustrating 😤

I do not see loss of details with my eyes. Viewing percent is exactly the same that is ok but keep in mind that only 100% viewing should be used for judgement. Go to 100% view and compare that is good viewing scale for judgment. If you still see some difference then something is wrong.

Okay here are some screenshots for illustration. As you can see in the first photo, the quality is okay and in the second photo there seem to be a loss of quality after opening in photoshop.

though i still wonder if upon exporting the final edit, if there will be any changes still.


Export is another topic and story for itself. Some formats like JPEG are applying losy compression so there will be some changes in amount of details, more compression means less quality. Hovewer, you can control amount of compression when saving file in JPEG format with losy compression.

Loss of quality? Can you post some screenshot to illustrate the poroblem? Take screenshot of entire window and we may be able to spot some potential problem.

We need to see examples. Ideally a raw and the rendered image uploaded to something like Dropbox. Also the Workflow Options in ACR (what was set for resolution/number of pixels, color space):
