Blurry images when zooming in Survey & Grid View

When I am in Survey View and hit the Z key, some of the previews are blurry. The same thing happens in Grid View. However, in Loupe View, the images are fine when I the 'Z' key. Using Survey View would make things go faster when making my picks. Any ideas why this happens?
I tried rendering 1:1 but the returns a mesage that says renders are up to date and rendering was done.

This is definitely a bug. I can see it too, and it's little bit annoying. LR 4.1, Win7 x64.
To reproduce just select two images, render 1:1 previews to be shure they are present.
Then press 'N' to switch to Survey mode, and now press 'Z' to zoom in active photo.
It gets zoomed, but looks like LR zooms in standard (smaller) preview instead of using 1:1 preview - the result is blurry and a little pixelated, it definitely lacks resolution.
But when in the Loupe view (switch view using 'E') and zooming all work just fine - the image is at full resolution and is sharp.
And even if I switch from Survey to Loupe with zoomed in image - it still stays blurry.
To get sharp image I need to zoom out and then zoom in again.
So in short - it looks like 1:1 preview is used only when image is zoomed in from the Loupe view.
At least others seem to experience the same thing so I know it's not just me. I'd say it's more than a little bit annoying because it causes you to second guess yourself and you constantly have to switch to a view to see if the image is actually sharp or not. It really slows down the workflow.

Any solution to pixelated images when zooming?

Wondering if there is a solution to prevent pdf images on transparent background from pixelating when zoomed in.
This is a screen capture. There are two knife images. The large white knife is a pdf on a transparent background saved at 108 ppi in photoshop, it is part of a object state/slide show (saved as vector obviously since type is sharp) that fades in. Doesn't seem to matter what size/dimensions I use, it still gets blurry when you pinch and zoom.
See here:
The smaller black knife image at top left is also a pdf on transparent background, saved at 108 ppi in photoshop. It is not an object state,etc.
The knife images look fine at full screen on the iPad, but once you pinch and zoom, both images loose focus and become blurry.
Any solution to this? The images need to be pdf (or png - which I understand will not scale at all), because they are on transparent backgrounds.
Thanks!

Photoshop CC distorted image when zoomed out. Text, edges and Straight lines.

I get this distorted image when working on a file. When I zoom in its fine. But as soon as I zoom out all the lines, text , and edges start to become distorted. I've checked that all my drivers are up to date. I've re installed photoshop and still the same thing. Any Suggestions. ( files look fine when saved or exported, this just happens while Im working )

That looks like a Moiré pattern. Did you scan the image?
If not, can you tell us what operating system?
And is your video card driver fully up to date from the maker's website?

Blurry images when printed from indesign

having problems with only some images in an indesign document. all images are placed and the original files are perfectly crisp pdfs...tried changing the display performance but still appearing and printing blurry? when i click f8 on the image it doesn't show any ppi at all- not sure if this means something?
please help!!
thanks, chrissy

it could also have something to do with the fact i'm having to swap computers to print the file- i'm going to try taking all the links with me and relinking the ones that are apprearing blurry to see if that helps
Bingo.

Tiger's Preview application does not antialias images when zooming

On windows when you double click an image and zoom in it uses standard bicubic interpolation to give the magnified image a natural look.
In OS X, when images are magnified in Preview the pixels are magnified 1:1 which gives a horrible pixellated look. On some images clicking "actual size" gives a non 100% scale rendition too.
Is there any hack or trick to let preview magnify images normally or better?
It's weird, you'd think some uat tester would have noticed the pixellated zoom and just changed the magnification algorithm.

In ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Preview.plist, there is an entry called
Root->Preview->PVImageHiResDrawingInZoomInMode
which is set to zero by default. Change it to 1, save and restart finder. This should enable interpolation. It seems to work OK but no promises - they must have turned it off for a reason (it's actually pretty rubbish compared to the windows one and for some reason not as good as the one used in slideshow mode?!).

Blurry Illustrator images when zoomed in within AE?

Hi,
I'm animating images I created in Illustrator CS4 using After Effects CS4, and am having a problem with Illustrator images being blurry when I zoom way in using a camera layer within After Effects. I've tried hitting the 'Continuously Rasterize' switch within AE. But when I do that, the camera layer isn't working right because I'm unable to zoom in or out. I'm a relative novice in both these programs, but I'm puzzled by the problem because right now it involves scaling Illustrator layers down and not up, which I thought would be better even if my layer wasn't vector-based. (Someone suggested making sure my layers are vector layers. I assume they are, because I created them as RGB layers within Illustrator. But please let me know if I'm wrong on this point.) Again, I'm scaling these layers down, and not up, so I'm confused by this problem, because my understanding is this kind of thing usually involves scaling layers up. For some context I'm trying to create a shot where I zoom from an extreme CU on a person's face, to an extreme wide shot of the room the person's in.
Any advice on this problem would be hugely appreciated!
Neil

First thing to do is to determine if your "images" are raster or vector. How were they created? Where they photos that were imported into illustrator? Did you draw them using one of the illustrators tools such as the pen tool, or one of the shape tools? If you did the former, scaling up will cause issues like you have. With the latter you can scale up all you want the continuous rasterization will take care of that.
If it is the latter, it may have to do with how the image is in AE. You said you are moving the camera, but what is the image placed on? Do you have 3d enabled so the z axis is available for your objects and camera?
If it is the former, set the resolution of the photo itself so the area that is zoomed in on is at 720x640 or what ever your medium will be. In other words if you plan on zooming in on a photo, your photo has to be greater than the medium it will be displayed on. If the photo is less than that, you will get pixelation.

How to turn off CTRL+scroll zoom in the grid view of Lightroom?

Please help - I'm working with a big catalogue, where I have to do a lot of scrolling and keywording. I'm new to Windows machine (corporate), and having a problem when I want to hold CTRL and scroll down (to individually select more photos), it only zooms in and out...
Then if I release ctrl, there is always a risk to slip and lose the previous selection. When the workflow is thousands of photos to wade through, it is not fun at all and a waste of time.
There must a be a way of turning it off!
Would appreciate any help.

Hi,
If you wish to keep the CTRL key pressed and scroll up or down a grid list, just use the mouse on the scroll bar on the RH side of the grid.
To zoom you need to press CTRL and +/-.
If you press the CTRL key and try to use the up/down arrow keys to scroll it will increase/decrease the flag status of the currently selected image.

Blurry images when I combine files into a PDF with Acrobat

I have created 4 files in Photoshop with a combination of graphics and text. I am trying to make a PDF that can be emailed, so it only has to look good onscreen. I have saved each file in numorous ways (jpg, tiff, pdf, bmp etc...) I have eliminated any compression. When I pull the files up individually they look great, but when I try and combine them in a PDF the images get blurry. I have selected the largest file size, change compression for jpg (and the others) in acrobat. I can't figure out what I am missing. Why do the files look good until I combine them?

A little confusing. How to eliminate compression when using JPG or PDF?
If you export the images from Photoshop to PDF, will they look good on screen? If so, and you import and combine in Acrobat, they should not be changed, unless you select "Save as optimised PDF", because then optimisation settings could re-encode the images to lower resolution.

Blurry Images when Placing

When I place images on triggers or slideshows or anything in general, the images appear at a very low quality and very blurry (even if I don't re-size them in Muse). My images are 300dpi and I've tried placing both jpgs and pngs. But the resolution is very bad when I place them. How can I fix this?

giulial92162650 perhaps turn off the "Convert opaque PNG to JPEG" option in the Content panel of Site Properties?

PS CS6 Shows Transparent Pixels Over Image When Zooming Past 50%

I'm not sure why, but Photoshop just started doing this after I converted my files to a smart object. When I try to zoom in past 50%, it displays these transparent pixel squares over the entire image. I tried rasterizing and flatting the image back, but that didn't do anything. It seems to keep doing this. Any suggestions how I can fix this?

That sounds like a typical display driver problem.
If you have a PC, visit the web site of the maker of your video card, seek out and download/install the latest display driver for your hardware and OS, and reboot (even if it doesn't require it).
If you're on a Mac, you might find that manipulating the graphics processor-specific settings in your Photoshop-Preferences-Performance dialog (and in the Advanced settings) might help. Make sure to fully Quit and restart Photoshop after making changes there.

Blurry Images When Saved In Illustrator CC

Hi,
I've been trying to figure this out for weeks, but can't figure it out. I'm trying to create a new logo and now that I've created it, I try to save it and once saved, It looks very blurry/fuzzy. But in illustrator it looks excellent! It's just in the saved copy that looks horrible. I'm new to using Illustrator, and still in the process of learning, I know it's probably something simple to my problem however I've read every forum related on the internet and even on here and all the solutions that have helped others don't work for me... I'm just metally drained and don't know to do, Any help to solve this problem would be helpful.
-Illustrator CC
-Macbook Pro Retina -late 2013
If there's anything else that you would like to know please let me know. I've tried every possible format just about for the logo to be saved as. Even in the browser preview mode in save for web, it looks horrible. I'm needing this logo to be saved as jpeg, png, or something relative.
Thanks in advance!
-Michael

It isn't really something that requires a 'fix' as such - sadly the number of people with Retina displays is still quite small and most of the time devices use some clever upsampling jiggery-pokery that makes the graphics look better.
I have another question for you, now - when you are exporting your image file from Illustrator, are you changing the anti-aliasing settings to Art Optimised? If this is all news to you, are you using the Export for Microsoft Office option? Or Save For Web?
Sorry to have to ask but it helps in helping you.

Blurry images when PDF is exported

I'm making a style guide and my images were drawn in Flash CS5.
When I export them to png they're 72 dpi and when I import them into InDesign, the images are fine and clear until I export it as a PDF.
I have other images that were collected from the internet and they're fine and also the images I scanned in are fine and clear as well.
The pdf is only for screen use.
How do I fix this?
(I'm using a Mac btw)
Thanks.

And you will get a better on-screen representation if you do not alter the graphic's aspect. You've stretched the image to fit the space. The screen shot is your PDF and mine. The left one is mine, the right bear is yours. Both are inside Acrobat and displaying at 100%.
Take care, Mike

BLURRY images when I Modify speed in 29.97 timeline with 24p footage

I am modifying the speed of a clip - only to 90% - and parts of
the clip appear blurry after I render.
Any ideas why? What can I do?
Thank you in advance!

Is it 24p footage with 3:2 pulldown or, just 24p media?
Either way, you're in for a fun time.....
for 24p with 3:2 pulldown, first use Cinema Tools to remove the pulldown. Now, use Cinema Tools to conform it to 2.9.97fps. Now take it into your timeline and adjust the speed.
For 24p media, just conform it in Cinema Tools to 29.97fps, and then pu in your timeline and adjust the speed.
What you're doing is avoiding having FCP convert the 24p to 29.97fps by adding frames, before it gets to the speed change. Similarly, 24p with 3:2 pulldown must have it's pulldown removed before you can do a speed change.
This should make things nicer for you!

Blurry Images When Transferring to InDesign

Hi,
I am attempting to transfer some images from PS to ID. Each time I do, I notice the images become blurred. No matter how big I make the image in PS, they always transfer pixelated. I try different formats, JPEGs, PSD, PNGs, all seem to do the same thing. Any ideas why?

Right click the image in Indesign, and choose Display Performance > High Quality Display. You can set this globally in Preferences.
Be aware that Indesign will only display a preview, and never the full image. And BTW, it is best to use the Place command to insert images in ID, copy & paste is not recommended.

HELP - Library Left pane scroll issues ( when in grid view )

I've run into a issue that is really starting to piss me off and hinder my workflow!
When in Library mode grid view, I can't scroll left folder/publish service with my mouse scroll wheel. UNLESS I'm hovering over the scroll bar. If I'm hovering over a folder, I can't scroll ( VERY annoying )
now this is where it gets weird, when in loupe / thumbnail view, I can scroll the left pane fine with no issues. Also, scrolling the left or right pane in Develop mode with no issues as well.
Also, it seems like the when scrolling the right pane in Library view is a bit flakey ( it scrolls, but pauses at some places )
I've read THIS thread, but I dont have any of that type of software on my PC.
I've tried 3 different mice with no fix.
Any help or ideas would be appreciated.
thanks

@sjmphoto0300: I have a Dell XPS 15 502X laptop (running Win 7 Home) and had the same scrolling issue as you in LR 3.6 when in the Library module only (the Develop module sidebar scrolling works fine). I could not scroll using my touchpad on the left or right pane unless my cursor was directly over either thin grey scroll bar or on the actual sidebar headings (e.g. "Catalog," "Folders," or "Quick Develop"). Mousing over the latter would only enable me to scroll until the cursor was no longer over the heading which was pretty useless.
I have Synaptics TouchPad v7.4 installed. While I don't have an option in my Mouse properties to specify certain programs that don't scroll properly as mentioned in another post, I did find a solution that works for me!
I had to do TWO things to get scrolling in the sidebars working properly:
1) In this thread (http://forums.adobe.com/message/3888114#3888114) it was mentioned that the Synaptics scrolling graphic that appears (see screenshot below) interferes with scrolling and the scrolling graphic can be disabled with a registry tweak and then restart the Synaptics applications (2) or reboot.
2) Right-click an empty spot on the desktop and go to Personalize > Change Mouse Pointers > Device Settings (Synaptics logo on tab) > Settings. Click on Scrolling on the left of the Synaptics Properties window > Scroll item under pointer. Click Enable.
That got sidebar scrolling working without having to keep the cursor hovering above the skinny scrollbars. It seems like the Synaptics software doesn't recognize what area is always scrollable in Lightroom when "Scroll selected item" is selected.
Hope this helps someone else out there.
