Blurry photos when saved

Okay so I use safari and I save photos to my iPod touch 8gb 2nd or 3rd gen and they are blurry. I tried the method with the re sync and it doesnt work because Im saving them and the pictures are not in my computer. Also, I dont like going to my computer every time and re sync them when I save pictures from safari.. Is there going to be a fix for this or what??

Firstly it doesn't matter what size the image is, even if it's the standard ipod touch screen size, it will still display blurry. It's a bug. This is a pathetic limitation and should be an embarrassment to the company.
Secondly, the issue happens even when you've saved the image from Mail. That being said, if you were to open up Twinkle, and share this blurry photo with the world, they will see it as clear and perfect as all getup. Then if you go and look at your photo in Twinkle you will see that the image is clear, and yet still blurred in your photo container on the ipod.
You're trying to tell me that this thing that can support running 3d applications and games is so inferior that it can't display a image without time traveling back to 1988?
Give me a break, Apple better fix this. It makes them look cheap.

IOS 5 overwriting original photo when saving edits

I've recently upgraded to an iPhone 4S running iOS 5 and I think I've found a bug in the Photos app. When a photo is edited and saved in the Photos app, the original photo is overwritten.
I've seen this behavior on three AT&T iPhones (a 4S and two 4s). A friend with a Verizon 4S saw the behavior intermittently - sometimes Photos offered to save the edited version as a copy of the original. I don't know anyone with a 3GS to ask about this behavior.
Anyone else?

I found two ways to restore the original photo: one easy, one stupid.
The easy way: open the photo in iPhoto for editing. Choose the crop tool. This should make the "Revert to original" button activate. Click it to restore the original photo.
The stupid way: open the photo in the Photos app for editing. Choose the crop tool. You should see your original photo with the crop marks showing where you cropped it originally. You can recrop here, if you want. Move the crop marks so the cover the entire photo and touch the Crop button to restore the original photo and save it.
@Dave, do you have an actual "revert to original" button in the Photos app on your iPhone 4? I don't have it on my iPhone 4S. I also don't have the option to save a copy, though I've seen the screen shot in various iOS 5 reviews.

Blurry photos when burning via magic idvd

Ok, so I construct a perfectly focused slideshow in idvd, then burn to a dvd and presto,all photos blurry whether viewed on my iMac that produced it or thru a dvd player on TV.
the photos are in jpeg format.
I enhance each photo ( sharpness etc) and when played back in preview mode on my mac are fine.
What am I doing wrong? I thought Magic iDVD was supposed to remove the hassles,not create them!

I've not used the Magic iDVD option so don't know what it does with the photos you provide it but have create many, many iDVD slideshow projects with photos from iPhoto and have had extremely good results.
I create an iDVD project, add a slideshow, move the photos I want (cropped to 4:3 size ratio beforehand) to the slideshow, add music and save the project as a disk image (this separates encoding problems from burning problems). I mount and play the disk image with DVD Player and once I'm satisfied all is well I burn the disk image to disk using Disk Utility or Toast as the slowest burn speed possible using top quality media, Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R, which are the most recommended in these forums.
Since I'm not familiar with Magic iDVD tell me a couple of things: are you creating the slideshow in iPhoto or just making the still photos available to iDVD by placing them in an album for export to iDVD?
If you're creating the slideshow in iPhoto and use the Ken Burns effect the image size should be a minimum of 1440 x 1080 pixels in size to help keep the image sharp during the zooming of the KB effect. The output resolution of DVDs is 720 x 540 - a DVD standard and not iDVD issue. The slideshow is converted to a Quicktime movie format for use in iDVD. Then iDVD encodes the QT file again in its process. That's a lot of compression from the original source files.
For what it's worth here are some tips for preparing photos for use in iDVD that might help:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/6675.html
http://www.scantips.com/basics1f.html
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

Blurry photos when imported from iPhoto?

I'm noticing that when I insert photos from iPhoto into a movie project, they are blurry and this is hurting the quality of my projects. Does anybody know if there are resolution issues or compatibility issues that will help me with this? I've tried just sharpening the image in the editing pane but it's never very good! What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

Here's the deal a little more clearly. I'm simply taking photos on my digital camera on "super high quality" - 3072 x 2304, and when I import them into my iMovie project, they go a little blurry.
Not sure if you are referring to preview window, full-screen previewing, or the final output video being "blurry" here. Suggest yo start off by tracing the image flow. Start off by opening your project package by "Control-Clicking" it in the finder and selecting the "Show Contents" menu option. Then look for a movie file names "Still Images" at this level. Double click this file to open it in the movie player but do not "Play" the movie. Instead, use the right and left arrow keys to step through the file and examine your images carefully. These images should be scaled down from your source images as previously explained. These are the images that iMovie '08 will use when creating your export/shared movie file later. How do they look and what are their dimensions? If all looks okay here and your "softening" is only in the "preview" display, I would likely try making a test export/sharing to see if the actual output looks as "poor" -- i.e., try to determine at what point things may be "going bad." At this point I'm not sure if you are simply "hyper-sensitive" regarding you photos, if iMovie is actually introducing a "normal" loss in quality due to processing, or if you may have a more serious application problem unique to your install for some particular reason.
Can I change settings anywhere so that the resolution's match? How do I know for example, if my project is set at 1920 x 1080 (all I know is I'm working in iMovieHD. Is it possible to import photos so that the resolution isn't automatically scaled up or down?
You can of course pre-scale or crop/scale manually before import into iMovie. However, if you do so in iPhoto/Aperture, I suspect the same scaling algorithm will be used as in iMovie. Have not done so myself, but if I did, I would likely use Photoshop to do this since you can try various resampling options to see which you may prefer for the given content.

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.

Photos become blurry when saved on safari

Hi,
I am using the 32GB iTouch, and whenever I use Safari and find an image I want to save, it usually is blurred and very low quality. Almost like it saved a thumbnail instead of the full resolution image.
On a rare occasion, the photo might come out clear and in full resolution, while many don't.
I was unsure why the photos saved from Safari are low quality thumbs, was it meant to be this way? is there any way to make the itouch save the full resolution image, rather then a thumbnail of the image?
Thanks.

Firstly it doesn't matter what size the image is, even if it's the standard ipod touch screen size, it will still display blurry. It's a bug. This is a pathetic limitation and should be an embarrassment to the company.

I've been using Aperture now for the past 7 months and really happy with it, however in the past two days any photos I download are heavily pixelated and blurry. When I download the same shots to any other program they are fine.

Hi,
I've been using Aperture now for several months without any issues except for the last couple of days...when I now download my shots from the memory card the photos are heavily pixelated and blurry but when loaded to iPhoto they are fine.
Can someone tell me what the problem could be and how to fix it.

Is Aperture doing any processing? ("Window→Show Activity" -- anything there?)
Are the Images pixilated/degraded when shown in the Viewer as well as in the Browser? (Double-click an Image to open it in the Viewer.)
How 'bout at 100%? (In the Viewer, press "z" to zoom to 100%. The "z" key toggles the zoom.)
Does generating a new Preview remove the pixilation? (Select an Image in the Browser, hold down "{Option}" and click "Photos→Generate Preview".)

How to back up/import my photos when I have saved them messily?

I currently use Aperture as follows:
1.Save from memory card to file on computer called photos (each card is labelled seperatley in a sub folder)
2.Import photos I want to manage into aperture (this then makes duplicte copy of the photo in my aperture library, right?)
I use an external hardrive as an apple time machine to back all this up.
My problem is that due to having duplicate copies of the master photos (one saved in my folder structure, on in the aperture library), my harddisk is now full.
I have no list of which files I have saved into aperture and which I haven't, and I have used different names for the projects in aperture as I have used in my folder sytem.
I thought I could solve the problem by saving my masters (the ones not saved in aperture) onto the external disk, Delete the entire aperture library, and then reimport my whole library from the external disk into Aperture.
This would free up about 300gb of space on my hard disk, as it was always a daft idea to keep two copies of the same photo on the same disk.
However, if I do this, I lose all of the adjustments I have made to the photos I have in aperture!
Any ideas welcome.
p.s, I am living in a place where it isn't easy or cost effective to buy a bigger harddisk.

Very first thing:
2.Import photos I want to manage into aperture (this then makes duplicte copy of the photo in my aperture library, right?)
This may or may not be true depending on how you did the import. But you need to make very sure that this is the case before you start deleting things.
There are three possibilities, one you left the masters where they were when you imported, they are then referenced masters in Aperture, two you copied the images into the Aperture library, they are managed in Aperture and still exist on the HD outside of Aperture and three you moved them into Aperture when you imported, they are managed in Aperture and no longer exist on the HD outside of Aperture.
Should you have done the last then if you delete the Aperture library the masters will be gone.

When I get an email with a pic in and I go to reply a box drops Dow and asks "save photo" when I click on that it "seems" like nothing happens, bot are they being automatically saved someplace, where?

If photos are saved they go to the Camera Roll in the Photos App.

Photo "...changed in external application" when saving metadata in LR2

I am getting occasional error dialogs saying that one or more photos have been changed in an external application when saving metadata. I'm quite certain the photos have not been touched since the catalog was built--two days ago.
I built an entirely new catalog after installing LR2. I changed some keywords as I not all images were keyworded in the same way. When I save metadata, either for an entire folder or for all files, I get occasional error dialogs about the image being changed externally. I'm quite certain that I changed nothing.
Running Win XP Pro SP2 + all updates except SP3, LR2, on Xeon 3070 with 3GGB RAM and lots of hard drive space.

If I didn't think my humor and irony would be misinterpreted as being rude, I might say "Why are you such a troublemaker, by asking this question? Don't you know from reading the forum, that there are multiple opinions about how LR works with changes done outside itself?" Ooops, I actually said it.<G>
But, seriously, I've had many of the same questions, so I've been following the various threads, and still haven't got a clear and relatively simple answer to "how to work with LR images and catalogs using outside applications, and not mess stuff up?"
So, again, seriously, thanks for asking. Hoping, like you, to get clearer understanding.
Regards,
Peter

I was having an issue where each time I would modify a photo, LR would change the Capture Date to the Modified Date. Upon a quick search, I believe the correct way to stop this from happening is for me to uncheck the auto write to XMP which I did. After correcting the myriad of inadvertent date changes, I selected all the photos I was working with and attempted to save the metadata only to get this warning/question: "One or more of these photos has been changed in an external application. Should Lightroom overwrite the settings on disk?" I searched this and I'm confused because I'm not editing the photos in an external application; the only external app that is even remotely touching these photos is Dropbox, which is where my LR catalog is stored. Does Dropbox have something to do with this message or am I missing something? To overwrite or not to overwrite is the question now, I guess, but I'd like to figure out why this question is being posed so I can fix it from the start.

What file can be saved on my gallery photos when I receive iPad messages since pdf pics can't be saved??

You can't put a PDF into the photo gallery. The Photos app can only hold pictures and video. You could take a screen shot of whatever is on the screen of the device by tapping the Home and power buttons at the same time. That screen shot would be stored in your Camera Roll in the Photos app.

Problems with color quality when saving photos.

I never used to have any problems, but just recently I have noticed that, after cropping, editing, resizing my photos, and saving....they look fine on my screen while open in photoshop, but yet when attaching them and emailing or posting them, the color quality seems to change. The photo ends up looking quite different than my original photo (the edited copy). I can't figure out for the life of me what is causing this and do not remember ever having this problem before. The only thing that has changed is a new monitor. I don't think that would have any bearing, because like i said, everything looks great until the photos are sent. (when looking in my sent folder, i can see the "altered" state of the image. it's not just a problem with someone elses computer settings, etc)
A newbie here with low tech skills, lol. Any help is appreciated, I would just like my pictures to be seen by others in the color state and quality as they appear to me, and it is frustrating.
I hope my explanation of my problem makes sense and look forward to any advice. (I'm hoping there is a quick solution like a setting I need to click on or off!??)
(using Elements 2.0)

Hi Amy:
Sorry that the Color Setting idea didn't do the trick. Since the occurrence is separate, that is, seeing one color view using Elements and a different color view using email view. I still suspect this area.
Calibrating a monitor to me (as the saying goes), is easier said than done. You may want to do a web search using Calibrate Monitor, or similar search words. This will find some interesting websites on calibrating monitors you can read and try out. If you do change some settings, write down what your original settings are before hand, so if you make it worse, you can go back where you started.
There are two areas to calibrate the monitor.
1. Using the monitor controls on the monitor itself.
or/and
2. Using the graphics card (software) control. Which is normally found (Win XP) DISPLAY PROPERTIES>SETTINGS>ADVANCED> then the TAB with your graphics card name.
3. Actually there is a third one, which uses a very expensive device that connects to the monitor. At the moment this method escapes me. Mainly used by professionals and serious photo editing people.
Good Luck!

When I try to export photos from iPhoto, why does it truncate the title I have given the photo? For example, I have labeled it 2013RoxyCarousel. When saved to desktop, it reads 2013. The rest is omitted.

iPhoto 7.1.5.
I chose these settings:
Kind: JPEG
Quality: medium
Include title and keywords (checked)
Size: small
File name: use title
I guess that is what you meant. Thanks for replying.

When saving files from the internet, why doesn't Firefox 'know' to put .jpg files in "Photos" and pdf files in "Documents"?

When saving files from the internet, why doesn't Firefox 'know' to put .jpg files in "Photos" and pdf files in "Documents"? IE always saved photos in the "Photos" file and documents in the "Documents" file. Firefox makes me choose every time. Very annoying.

How about if Firefox is programmed like IE in this ONE thing...
When saving files from internet sources, if the file ends in a typical photo extension such as .jpg, .bmp, .tif etc. it defaults to save it in your PHOTOS folder.
When saving anything like a .doc, .pdf etc. it defaults to save it to your DOCUMENTS.
You could still change it to 'desktop' if that if really where you want all your photos and documents... or some other folder that you decide, but DEFAULTS to the LOGICAL folder.
I have carpal tunnel SO bad that even typing this suggestion is painful and having to make the extra click along with moving the mouse EVERY time I want to save something is painful.
ALSO, I shouldn't need a bunch of ADDONS to accomplish this. I tried downloading one and it did nothing. The problem still exists.

Crash when saving photo when contact edit screen open - anyone else?

On two separate iPhones I have experienced a crash when saving a photo taken from "inside" the contacts edit screen. In both cases the photo app would capture the image and attempt to save. The screen goes black for about 5 seconds then returns to the home screen. The photo is not in the camera roll and the image container on the contact editor screen is empty.
iPhone G3, 16GB, v2.2 <--both phones tested
Sequence: Open Contacts, locate existing entry, tap "edit", tap "add photo", tap "take photo", shoot picture, tap "set photo", system shows "saving photo" pinwheel, then screen goes black.
Doesn't happen every time. One instance corrupted the mail application and applied a false name in the "from" field for many of my emails. Remedy: Reload v2.2 software and restore from backup.
Anyone else see this behavior?

I have had this same problem. As best I can recall, I have the problem every time. I've certainly updated software, reset software and reinstalled 2.2 for my phone, for other reasons. And, I've gotten another friend to duplicate the problem. My workaround is to save the contact info and then take the picture from the camera and then reopen and edit the contact and add the picture. It's just that, sometimes, I make a leap of faith and try to take a save a picture from within the contacts. It's a teeny, minor embarassment when I then have to ask a person for their info again, as the contact crashes before it's been saved.
Mostly, I'd enjoy the elegance of being able to add contacts and their photo at the same time. I know that's what is intended by Apple.
I don't intend to newly install 2.2 software, etc. with my iPhone to try and solve this problem. Just seems like a waste of time at the moment. I just want to state that it's a problem and it would be meaningful for Apple to correct this in 3.0
Life with the iPhone hasn't been perfect, but it has been awesome!
