600ppi looks bad after placing

Hello hello
I have a problem I can't figure out. I created some artwork in Photoshop, which is 600DPI because it's line art.
But after placing it in InDesign, it looks like it's very low resolution.
I have VIEW set to High Quality Display. According to LINKS both actual and effective PPI are 600.
So I don't get it. Looks fine in Photoshop. Only looks like crap after placing it in InDesign...
What am I not doing right?
I'm using InDesign CC.

Also, besides the linked preview being a jpeg Photoshop and InDesign have very different zoom scales. So with something like high res line art the preview in both programs will be resampled differently to fit the screen as you zoom in and out.
In Photoshop the 100% view gives you a 1:1 image to monitor pixel ratio where you see the actual image pixels.
In InDesign if you want to see a 1:1 ratio of a 600ppi image scaled at 100% you have to divide 600 by your monitor resolution/100 to get the zoom level. My iMac has a 108ppi monitor res, so 600/1.08 gets me the 1:1 zoom level that matches Photoshop's 100%—550%.

  • Fonts looking bad after upload

    Hi,
    I have used a special font, by that I mean a font which will not be found on most computers. Now within some elements, such as a some buttons, a few graphics, the font appears perfectly. When I check on other PC's the font is not what I had selected. Also, the font, when I run the movie through Flash CS4, appears perfect, but once I upload it, the font is not smooth and looks bad. I read up a little about embedding characters, and even tried the option which comes in the text box properties, but nothing seems to help. I don't think I grasped the concept well. Can anyone please explain how I can get my font to appear and look good on all PCs??
    Thanks,
    Aditi

    Is this all dynamic text or is it text that is manually written in to the file at authoring time such that it could be static text?  If it is static text but you are using dynamic textfields, then try switching them to be static textfields.  If it is already static textfields, then you could try breaking the textfields down to being raw graphics (select the textfield, then choose Modify -> Break Apart, Modify -> Break Apart)
    If they must be dynamic textfields, and using the embed option in the properties panel isn't working, then try embedding the font in the library and use it from there... To do that...  in the library in the upper right is a small menu where you can select "New Font"... choose that and select the font you want from the list.  Then you can assign that embedded font as you normally would, but you need to find the name it has in the library and in trhe font selection it will have an asterisk next to it.  So if the Font is named "Font 1" in the library, then in the font selection in the properties panel it will appear as "Font 1* "

  • Video looks bad after capturing

    I've got a problem:
    I filmed with a JVC GY-DV300E and now I'm capturing the video in FCP 5.1.4. On the camera, the image looks beautiful, sharp, but on my computer, the image looks like the ISO is much too high, grainy and ugly.
    My audio/video-settings in FCP are DV PAL 48kHz, I think that's ok.
    Can anyone help me?
    Thanks.

    I used to have a JVC GY-HD100 and the gain switch was right above the power switch so it was easy to reach down and knock the gain when you were switching it on and off. I accidentally knocked it once without realizing it, shot a scene, and it looked great on the LCD. I captured it and it looked terrible. The reason for this is that the LCD screen is far too small to for you to be able to notice issues like that. You'd need an external monitor to see them. A poor man's external monitor can be made from a Windows laptop running Adobe's DV Rack software. I used this once and it was pretty good.
    As for fixing the existing footage, you can purchase / download de-grain plugins (I tend to do this stuff in Shake so someone else is probably better equipped to tell you which FCP plugins are best for this) but don't put too much faith in them. They will reduce the grain but introduce softness to the image. The trick is to find a balance between too much grain and too much blur.

  • Photos look different (bad) when placed in InDesign CS4

    I'm having a problem in that my photos look bad when viewed in InDesign. I labor on my photos until they're looking perfect in Photoshop -- with just the right color balance and tonalities -- but when I place them in ID, they look much darker and redder, or oversaturated. Then I look at them again in Photoshop, and they look fine. What gives? Which program is showing the real state of the photo? Btw, the photos are using the same color profile in both programs and the monitor is unchanged b/w viewings.
    I'm wondering if anyone has had a similar experience and what I can do about this? It makes me very nervous to see my photos looking so bad in InDesign, where I prepare my layouts for offset printing. Will they print as I see them in Photoshop or will they print as I see them in InDesign (which would be dreadful)? At this point I'm hesitant to make further adjustments and hoping it's the Photoshop view that's correct.
    But why is this happening in the first place? Is there some setting I should be fixing? Or is there a color issue or incompatiblity b/w Photoshop and InDesign that I'm unaware of?
    I'm using ID and Photoshop CS4 on Mac OSX 10.4.11
    Hope someone out there can help me with this issue.
    Thanks in advance!

    There's a discrepancy in the way Photoshop and ID display images on the screen. I wasn't aware of this before.
    If your display performance is set at High Quality there's no significant difference in the way color is displayed between PS and ID. The screen capture linked below shows a CMYK file with no profile assigned, side by side in ID and PS. The ID file has no profile assigned and the CMYK Working Spaces are the same for both programs:
    http://www.zenodesign.com/scripts/IDPS.png
    You can check the RGB values of the screen capture in Photoshop and there is virtually no difference—I could only find an occasional 1 gray level in 1 channel shift.
    If you are seeing a color change with a High Quality display setting then chances are you have a color management issue.
    Syncing your Color Settings doesn't guarantee matching color between the programs because you are just syncing the program's Working Spaces, and they don't necessarily color manage the documents (assigned profiles override the Working Space). If you are assigning profiles in PS, the assigned profiles need to match your ID doc's assigned profile (which could be different then the ID Working Space)

  • Cross references corrupted after placing Word document into an InDesign document

    I am placing a word document which contains cross references to headers and captions/figures within the document. They seem to be fine and function correctly in the Word document, however, after I place this word doc into my InDesign doc, I take a look at the cross references panel and notice that the cross references have been corrupted. It is wrapping the wrong portions of text from the cross reference destinations. See screenshot for a visual of how the cross references are malformed. For example the 7th cross reference in the list should say Framework Details, not "Framework Detai
    InDesign Cross References Panel - showing malformed bits of text
    Another visual of this issue can be seen if I view the text frame in Story Editor view, see below. You can see that the cross reference source tags (blue arrow like symbols) are wrapped around the wrong portions of text. The blue tags shoud be wrapped around Framework Details and 52
    InDesign Story Editor
    You can see below as to why I think the cross references are fine in the Word doc, you can see the same cross reference I used in the example above in the word doc and it is wrapping the correct portion of text:
    Word - showing cross reference is formed corerctly
    Why is this not being maintained after placing this file into InDesign?
    Also I am not performing any cross reference updates after I import, this problem occurs immediately after the place of the doc.
    Why would InDesign be having difficulty in importing these cross references? I have set up a simple test Word document with cross references to headers and figures in and they have imported fine. What could be wrong with this other particular word doc that would be causing this "corruption" of cross references? This is not only causing my cross references to break visually and lack the update capability but also I cannot export the InDesign doc to an ePub as it keeps crashing. I believe from my reading on the web that if there is only one broken cross reference source i.e. the cross reference destination that it is trying to link to is missing, then the export to epub will fail. So this is causing a massive headache for me at the minute.
    Is there anything I could be looking at in the Word doc to try and figure out why the porblem is occuring in the first place?
    If anyone has any tips or a possible solution to this I would really appreciate it. Even better if someone knows the reason why this is happening I can tackle it from the source and prevent it happening time and time again.
    Thanks, Dave

    Only bad experiences, Peter ...
    I've seen this character shifting before on numerous occasions, both with cross references and with hyperlinks. (It's especially funny with hyperlinks, 'cause you can see that the outline box shifts one character at a time per each next link...)
    The thing is it's not just limited to hyperlinks and cross refs. Dave's screenshot doesn't show bold, italics, or other local formatting, but it's a fair bet these are off by a couple of characters as well.
    Dave's experiment of making a "minimal" Word document to confirm it's a persistent bug didn't work. I found the same thing: either a document comes in fine, or everything is foo-bar right from the start. There must be some internal Word code that InDesign forgets to count as 'a character position'. Without delving into the Word file with some very advanced tools, it's anyone's guess what code that would be.
    I can only offer the one solution that works for me: in Word, remove all hyperlinks (which is what Word uses for internal links as well as for external ones) and convert all cross-references to text. Then, if the file finally imports fine, re-build them in InDesign. It's a cumbersome workaround, but slightly better (only just) than checking each reference, delete, rebuild, check next -- etc. (And with that the chance that your other text attributes are also off.)

    Subject : Slideshow looks bad
    Hello guys
    I have a project in my Final Cut just about done.  I want to add my slideshow as part ofthe project and burn it to DVD.  Inmy slideshow, there are some stills from the movie clips and some downloadedfrom the internet but they all look blur when playback and even worse if Iapply Ken Burn to it.   Pleasesome one can tell my how to do it right or it can’t be done because thedownload quality and stills from the clip are not suitable or slideshow.  Thank you
    PSC

    Thank you Ross.
    The entire DVD containing Quick Time movies (Final CutExpress project) and slideshow was done in iPhoto.  The Final Cut project was rendered prior to export to QT,  the slideshow was sent to iDVD withoutrendering. The slideshow with most of the pictures from my still camera incombination with stills from movie clips and some downloaded from the Internet.After burning, the movie playback is perfect but the slideshow is not.  The slideshow containing 3 differentkinds of pictures; those from my still camera looks OK; the stills from themovie clips and from the Internet are not.  I don’t have much knowledge in this game, but I think NTSCwith frame size 720x480, and the downloaded picture Item Property shows most ofthem are between 400 to 500 x 300 to 600, may be both of them are not suitablefor TV screen while the stills from my still camera looks OK because they are2048x1536.  Please enlightenme.  Once again, thank you so much,I really appreciate the time you offered.

  • Photos Look Terrible After Upgrade

    I use my iPhone as a mini-portfolio so most of the photos in have in it are downloaded from Aperture. After I upgraded to 4.0, all the pix look bad. What happened?

  • DV clips look bad, good when converted to H.264 in QuickTime and reimported

    Still a problem after 7.0.1:
    DV camera -> iMovie 08 -> looks bad when playing and exporting/sharing
    DV camera -> iMovie 08 -> "reveal in finder" -> clip opened in QuickTime -> looks good -> export as H.264 -> re-import to iMovie 08 -> looks good when playing and exporting/sharing.
    In plain words: Importing DV clips from my DV camera into iMovie gives bad results when playing and exporting/sharing. Have tried everything, but the clips look blurry and not sharp at all. The actual DV clip in the events folder looks sharp and clear.
    If I take the very same DV clip from the events folder ("reveal in finder"), open it in QuickTime, export it as H.264 and then re-import to iMovie 08, it looks brilliant, retaining the quality the DV clip in the events folder has.
    Why can't the DV clips look good in the first place? What is it that iMovie 08 does to these poor clips? Some have suggested re-encoding, re-rendering and so on, but if I do just that in QuickTime and re-import it to iMovie 08, it still looks razor sharp and crystal clear. No reason that iMovie 08 shouldn't handle the DV file in the same manner.
    Some have suggested that this is because iMovie 08 internally re-encodes to AIM or H.264, enabling edits with different kinds of formats, but if I do this myself in QuickTime before importing to iMovie 08, the problem isn't there!
    If this is difficult to achieve, why not add the option of importing from a DV camera as H.264 and not DV? That would make my day!
    (I have posted this to Apple using the feedback menu item in iMovie 08.)
    (Background here in these threads:)
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1088568
    Sample clips in Apple TV format here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5173005

    iMovie '08 stores rendered projects in H.264 form. This happens when you render to the Media Browser. The rendered file(s) (you can have several different sizes) are in the iMovie '08 project package. The original flies in your Events folders stay in whatever format they were in.
    Yes, the movies exported to the Media Browser use the H.264 format, the same as iMovie HD 5/6 did when we exported using the presets Email, Web, Web Streaming and CD-ROM. They were all H.264 too. Apple is obviously putting the (powerful) H.264 to good use to prepare movies for Web pages and other purposes.
    As you know, the Full Quality export in 5/6 was to the project's native format, which varied according to the type of project. For DV projects, that was DV video. Everything was converted to DV when imported into the project, and to preserve the original quality we could export to a Full Quality DV movie.
    There is nothing like that in iMovie 7, at least that I've seen. As you said, nothing is converted to a "native format" when imported to the project. (Still images are added to the project's single Apple Photo - JPEG "Still Images" movie, which is a nice twist.)
    So I think of iMovie 7 as having no "native" format, but a nicely-designed path for using H.264 as the delivery format. The Media Browser — a virtual library of movies with no shared place — is a nice invention.
    When I export slideshow movies in DV format out of FotoMagico I always select 'Best' and it DOES make a difference in iDVD.
    I think of iMovie 7's problem with DV as more profoundly flawed. Exporting ANY DV video that's in the project to DV or ANY OTHER format is messed up. It's the handling of the DV inside iMovie that's messed up, not just the export to DV.
    My guess is — and it's only a guess — that FotoMagico's Best setting adjusts the content of the image delivered for iDVD. Put another way, it prepares an image that works best with iDVD's own encoding algorithms.
    One long-standing diappointment I've had with iLife is that Apple has never coordinated the image it prepares for iDVD with what(ever) iDVD does best. It's as if the programmers never talk to each other. iMovie engineers have never asked the iDVD engineers how best to deliver the image to deliver the best quality on the DVD.
    Given Apple's emphasis on H.264, one would think that iDVD would be written to embrace any H.264 video and deliver great quality on the DVD. It doesn't. And with iLife '08 it doesn't even embrace iMovie's own DV exports!
    I suppose Blu-Ray will change all that, but for now we're stuck with a version of iLife that can't deliver a quality DVD of our home movies.

  • Help with exporting. Video looks horrible after export, but great when in premiere pro

    Hey guys, looking for some advice on exporting.
    When I finish a video, the color and everything looks great while in premiere pro, but after exporting it, the color ends up looking dull and the whole video looks blurry.  I'm filming with a canon vixia hf200 at 60i. It imports as a AVCHD file, I deinterlace it, and then export at the Vimeo HD settings. What can be causing the video to look horrible after exporting? What settings should I be exporting under? Any help would be appreciated!

    It looks like you're coming up against some of the colorspace handling issues that the Premiere pipeline has.
    Since your source is 60i AVCHD it's HD and thus rec709 colorspace. If it gets encoded with the standard rec601 colorspace (SD sizes are this) then all the colors get crushed. Look for a "709" and "601" radio button in your export settings. If it's not there you're out of luck.
    The "blurry" is probably a poor quality de-interlacer. If Vimeo permits interlaced vs progressive do that instead. it's always cleaner to stay in the same video format all the way through.
    TECHNICAL ASIDE:
    rec709 is a triangle of possible colors that can be expressed by mixing of ratios of 3 emitters (the R G B corners of the triangle). (they are the RGB phosphors of a CRT and now LCD pixel elements)
    rec709 is a bigger triangle than rec601 so it's capable of more colors. but if you accidently map that triangle's corners to the coordinates of rec601 it gets crushed.
    In photography the "sRGB" uses the rec709 triangle. A bigger triangle that that is "Adobe RGB". So if you work in Adobe RGB and export to sRGB without conversion the colors get crushed because sRGB in inside the triangle of "Adobe RGB".

  • Trigger badi after giving data in custom tab of po item

    Hi,
    We have added custom tab in po item level, now we want to make those fields manditory
    for specific document type.We are using badi ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST .
    The message is getting triggered initially , but after giving data in the custom fields the badi
    is not getting triggered again.And triggers if we make changes to some other fields in po.
    So can we trigger the badi after giving data in custom tab ?
    I was trying something like this.
    method IF_EX_ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST~PROCESS_ITEM .
      DATA: l_if_header TYPE REF TO if_purchase_order_mm,
            ls_header TYPE mepoheader,

    Any pointers are welcome..

    Solved using exit EXIT_SAPMM06E_012
    This exit will trigger even after giving data in custom tab at po item level.

  • Why does my 24fps look bad on my TV?

    I just got the Panasonic AG-HMC150. I have shot some footage at both 1080p24 and 720p24. I transcode the files to Pro Res in FCP and they look pretty good, I realize the panning isn't as smooth as 60i. I drag one of the files into the FCP timeline and let it automatically "optimize my settings" for the sequence. I have verified that it is 23.98fps and field dominance is none. I have tried selecting "share" and going straight to AVCHD from FCP, and also taking the original MTS file, and Apple Pro Res and dropping into Toast and trying that way. The footage just looks choppy, jiddery and unsmooth. I have seen enough movies in my life to know that when they pan, or have cars drive by, that movies 24fps looks a million times better. My Sony HDTV even accepts and displays 24fps, and when I press info on the TV remote when watching one of these AVCHD discs it in fact says 1080 (or 720) 24p. It just looks bad. Even taking the HDMI output from the camera and hooking up to the TV and playing from the camera looks lousy.
    What am I doing wrong? I know a ton of post work goes into Hollywood movies, but why does their 24fps look nice and smooth and mine looks horrible? Do I need to render with pulldown in FCP or something. I can't figure it out. Any advice, suggestions?

    I transcode through FCP to apple pro res, the files shows up as 1920x1080 24fps. Field dominance is none. I edit the video and then export as quicktime movie using current settings. The Pro Res file says 23.98 when played in quicktime so I know that's good. I simply then drop the file into Toast (10.0.4) and burn blu-ray disc, selecting DVD as the media. I noticed too I need to change the field dominance under the encoding tab in Toast to progressive, as automatic doesn't work. It only burns the top half of the image. Regardless, when I make these discs and play them on PS3, my TV's info says 1080/24p. Maybe my eyes aren't use to seeing 24fps. Does it sound like I am doing anything wrong in my workflow/encoding process.
    Again, good tip on the shutter speed Jerry.

    Even simpler than that.
    Clicking once in a text box selects it.
    Clicking once in a selected text box places the insertion point in the box.
    The clicks do not need to be close enough in time to be read as a double click.

    iPhone went bad after software update - iPhone 5 is now stuck on Itunes connect and has vertical lines.
    I found a video on youtube with similar issues - http://youtu.be/Xuuqxx18-bA
    EVERYTHING HAS BEEN TRIED: Restore, Reboot, Recycle, Replacing Cables, etc....
    I don't have Apple Care, what to do? Spend more money and buy a new phone?

    Here is another person who has a problem with the iPhone 5 screen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sc1ZPWSA8dc and they have just received them NEW!!!!!
    I myself, two days ago purchased a  2nd hand iPhone 5 that was advertised as having a line of squares at the bottom of the screen. I Googled it and found people saying it was a screen issue and to replace the screen, so I did this and it is still happening with a new screen.
    I am starting to dislike Apple intensely after reading forum posts and watching videos where people are asking for help and telling us about issues that they are having with their phones.
    Why is Apple getting it so wrong with their updates and manufacturing that they are completely destroying iPhones that cost a lot of money and then expecting the owner to purchase another phone unless they are still in warranty.
    Apple you should be going out of your way to put things right for people but instead there is a wall of silence over so many of the issues destroying peoples phones.
    SHAME ON YOU!

  • Signature drop down menu greyed out. I believe it is because I saved the pdf document after placing a signature.  I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9

    signature drop down menu greyed out. I believe it is because I saved the pdf document after placing a signature.  I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9

    Do you mean the drop-down list that shows up when you right-click on the signature (in the Signature Panel or signature field)?
    I do not think that just saving a PDF with no changes would result in that unless you somehow flattened the PDF.
    Can you see the signature in the Signature Panel? Can you expand ([+] at left) the signature? Does the Signature Panel provide info for this signature? Is the signature validated? If "yes" then is the signature status Valid?
    It could be that when you saved the file you somehow flattened the signature, so that now you have only signature appearance in the PDF but not a real signature field which contains all signature properties. If the Signature Panel does not contain your signature (enpty if your signature was the only one) then this is the most likely cause.

Maybe you are looking for
