It is shown that a photoelectron, on being emitted from a conducting solid, suffers a substantial energy change due to ohmic losses. Almost all of this energy loss takes place after the electron leaves the solid. These losses may be important in isotropic materials with relatively low conductivity, such as certain colossal magnetoresistance manganates, and in very electrically anisotropic materials such as high-T_c superconductors and 1-D conductors. In these materials, the electric field of the photoelectron can penetrate the system. These losses can drastically affect the observed lineshape on the meV scale which is now observable due to improved resolution. In particular, extrinsic losses of this type can mimic pseudogap effects and other peculiar features of photoemission in cubic manganates. This general point is illustrated with the particular case of La_{0.67}Ca_{0.33}MnO_3.
