Images (jpg) are blurry at proper resolution

This seems like a really silly question – as it is the first time I have had this issue – but I am having problems getting a properly "clear" image with what "should be" appropriately sized images.
In photoshop – my images are crystal clear at the same resolution, but when incorporated into my flash – they are getting pretty "pixely" and I am not sure why. Assumably, 72di at the placed size should be clear when displayed at the proper resolution – but this is not the case. I even tried bringing in the high resolution images – but still can not get any clearer. They just get very bitmappy – am I missing something?
thanks.

I've done a dozen movies now using iMovie and Final Cut...but don't recall this kind of blur..its weird. But, basically you are saying to commit in faith to the whole process, put in the time to make the movie with the idea that it should come out.
There's an area in the technology then IMO that needs improving, if its not what you see is what you get. Kerrrrr'Azy!
I'll give it a shot then, but dang...its hard to move forward when feedback while you're doing it stinks!
thanks...I'll letcha know what happens then..
peace

In fCP x jpgs are blurry all of a sudden

no matter what size jpg or tiff
when i move the sequence the photo turns blurry
when i stop the movie the photo is sharp
e.g a jpg 1043 x 694 276 k
if i keep the image still it is sharp
when i stop it in a sequnce of jpgs it is sharp
if i move it it is blurry
what is going on here
did i press a wrong button
all of a sudden out of the blue this is a catastrophic event in my work production

In your FCPX preferences, select Playback. In the Playback section, change Playback Quality to High Quality rather than Better Performance. Note that you may see errors regarding dropped frames on playback depending on what you're doing.
When you export or share your project, the images should export at full quality for the settings you're using. The blur you're seeing is expected during playback at Better Performance settings.

I've noticed on my new ipad 4 that many images when on the Internet are blurred and low resolution why is this? Because if you go on apples website everything is crystal clear????

When using my new ipad 4 retina display when on the Internet many of the images are blurry or low resolution? But if you go on apples website everything is crystal clear?? Why is this?

Ebay images look fine on mine. Image zoom doesn't work, but that's not suprising. I also support a number of public and private websites wth a number of images (some pretty large). Those look fine as well. If the Apple website looks good, there is no raeson other sites shouldn't as well.
For eBay specifically, I'd recommend using its app, but in general, you could try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the iPad back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

Placing Images In Illustrator Are Blurry.

Hello I have this problem in CS5 that any type of image or line art are always blurry. All my work is for print and perhaps just the preview is blurry but I am afraid that printing will be bad.
Most graphics I bring in are from Photoshop CS5. I make sure they are 300DPI to start and recently learned they should not be in RGB mode but CMYK.
The images I should also mention when placed are very small and I have to scale them to be the correct size. I do not know why they do not place as their original size. So basically it is small size and blurriness.
Any help regarding this matter is appreciative. I am new at Illustrator and want to learn more from it since it seems like a great tool to use for printing.
Thanks,
Victor

I believe the solution to your problem starts in photoshop. Most printers require resolution to be 2X the lpi (lines per inch) and the most common line screen is 150 lpi (133 or 175 are the next most common), so hence 300 dpi (dots per inch) standard resolution requirement. Open your image in photoshop >> Image >> image size >> uncheck resample image >> change your resolution to 300 dpi if it is not and save. I bolded that cause thath setting is very important, and you will need to become intimately familiar with hwo everthing in image size works. This unchecking will not add or remove pixels, but will adjust the size of your image if you change to 300 dpi.
Now when you place the imahe in ilustrator, you will know that your image is exactly 300 dpi. If you scale your image smaller, no problem your effective resolution will be >300dpi adn that never hurts. If you scale your image larger in Illustrator, then you know that your resolution will be less than 300 dpi. You can now better assess the quality of your image reproduction.

Please help me!--rendering makes the images or video blurry (very pixelated) deteriorates the image Adobe Premier Elements 13 need help! .jpg and mpeg images, but I have never "rendered" before since I got APE 13 about 6 weeks ago. I am desperate for assistance!

That's going to be a ridiculous waste of money and energy.
First of all, the current ATI drivers don't support multiple GPUs, so at the moment even a single 4870X2 would be only a 'normal' 4870 (which is quite a speed beast already). GFX drivers evolve rapidly, so things might look different next month, but when it comes to Linux and hardware there's one Golden Rule: stay away from the newest stuff and wait for proper support to get coded.
I also wonder what power supply could possibly cope with the differences between idle and full load; that's way beyond 400W. But then, I'm one of those "quiet&green" types where >100W idle is already a bit much.
I kind of understand that you want to get it done and not worry about hardware for the next 10 years or so, but that's simply not how the hardware world works and never did. At least not for the average consumer.

Update to FF 23 changed resolution from 1600x900 to 1280x720, increased window size, and made text big and images and videos blurry

After upgrading to ff 23 from ff21 on my Windows 8 ultrabook laptop, the browser window blew up to fill the entire screen. Web pages stopped displaying properly - text is big, but images are blurry, including those on the ff toolbar, and videos are pixelated and unviewable.
I tried the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx fix - it didn't work. The text became unreadably small instead.
I noticed that javascript window resolution in Firefox 23 is showing a resolution of 1280x720 instead of the 1600x900 that it should be. How do I get FF 23 to display in 1600x900 resolution?

Yes, the screen.width and screen.height are adjusted for the device pixel ratio based on your zoom level. (Demo page: [http://dev.jeffersonscher.com/resolution.html])
It sounds as though your Firefox 23 is picking up a Windows setting of 125% zoom. If you change layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to 1.0, Firefox should display at your display's native resolution instead of your Windows resolution (100% instead of 125%). This will indeed make the text in the toolbar area a lot smaller, but the content area should look the same as Firefox 21. Does it look a lot different? How much zoom (e.g., Ctrl+) is needed to make it look like you remember?
Meanwhile, you can use this extension to adjust the toolbar area if you stick with the 1.0 setting: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/theme-font-size-changer/ Theme Font & Size Changer]. Clicking its icon and changing the font size from "Normal" to 14 or 15 usually works pretty well. Once you re done with your adjustments, you can use the Customize feature to take its icon off the toolbar. ([[Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars]])

Still images are blurry when dropped into Canvas

HI, I am running Final Cut 7. When I drop still images into onto the Timeline, when I click on that image to appear in the Canvas they are blurry. However, when I put on the Alpha+RGB they are as sharp as they normally are - except they are red. How do I change this so they are sharp in the RGB channel?
Thanks for your help

Thanks. Like I said, I have downsized this still image to 720 x 576 at 72 ppi and it goes to crap.
I just changed the setting to HD 1280 x 720. Import the 720 x 576 at 72 ppi ... looks good but needs to be rendered .. render and it goes to crap. Everything that is imported needs to be rendered - then it all goes to crap. OR video looks good as a still frame and when rendered it goes to crap as it isn't HD but I thought it would be the quality of what it normally is just in an HD environment.
Thinking Final Cut X will solve these issues as it doesn't have these format problems like 7 does.

Still jpg photos are blurry in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4

Hi everyone,
Please help! I am somewhat new to Adobe Premiere Pro and have been pretty much self-taught. I recently put together a wedding video for a friend and added in some still images. For the life of me, I cannot figure out why when I export the video, the images come up blurry. I've tried everything--deinterlace, do a frame hold on each of the pictures (on the in point), etc. I would really appreciate any advice about this--maybe I'm missing something obvious? I've attached a screen shot of what a typical image looks like once I've exported the video. Thanks in advance!
-E

Hi -E,
From your last post, it sounds like you have a solution with the different output selection, but if you are still curious, I'm confused by your quoted settings.
<<Export Settings: Video Codec is set to Animation, 29.97 fps, NO optimize stills, 720 x 477 (same as video input size)
Video Footage: Sony Camera, MiniDV tapes, Widescreen SD>>
MiniDV tapes implies that your video is in SD format, 720x480 (which is sort of implied in your Export settings).
Widescreen SD implies that you are aiming to get the output to SD in a 16:9 format, 854x480
Your posted photos look stretched and if you are happy with the video, then I suggest that CS4 is converting the video to Widescreen without distortion and stretching your photos to Widescreen without converting them (i.e. keeping the same number of pixels and just stretching them to the new size). If you want to try another experiment, either crop or convert your photos before importing them to CS4 so that they are 854x480 and then just produce your video the way that you were doing when your troubles started.
I had HDV video, which comes in at 1440x1080. To add photos, I cropped my hi res photos to 3840x2160 ( i.e. 2 times 1920x1080), resized the result 50% to 1920x1080 and then imported them. In Encore I requested SD output (720x480) and the result was undistorted. So CS4 was happy to rescale the video differently to the stills. This experience is why I suggest using Widescreen aspect ratio for the photos. Like you I am self taught and for myself, not good at absorbing the info in the manuals. Another video software suite I used to use would also exibit Pixel Aspect Ratio problems. If you took a frame of video and exported it as a still, then reimported it, the result would be blurry. It turned out that sure enough, it would export the picture as a crisp 720x480 image, and because of the pixel aspect ratio of standard DV being 0.9091, it needed 720x534 for stills being imported. If I took the ouput stretched it to 534 and re-inserted it, you could not distinguish the video from the still. A royal pain at the time.
Anyway enough rambling. Worth a try if your new found si=olution gets you out of a jam but you aren't yet trully happy.
Cheers, Ian

Images on website's are blurry,as are pictures that i upload to internet

image's on website's are distorted,also picture's that i upload to facebook are distorted,but are crystal clear before i upload them.just image's are distorted on web page's not header's. i am wandering if i have a virus or is there some adjustment that i can make to fix the problem?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

I have the same issue . I do not have a solution but advise to prevent and avoid this issue. I notice when I do not do any editing on my iPhone 4s then I can edit using Window Live Photo. The same is true in if I use the editing with my iPhone then I will not be able to edit with Window Live Photo. My suggestion until there is a fix is to either edit using the iPhone or Window Photo Gallery. Keep in mind if you even rotate the image using your iPhone then this willnot be able to use the editing on the Window.

Please tell me why my images are blurry.

Alright, now why when I import a 3-5 megabit image it looks blurry when I scale it DOWN. I am confused, but then again when I zoom in on my text, that is just as blurry. Is there a reason for this or does it get clear when I finalize my DVD. Thanks for any help.

I am going to try to fix this without posting, I know it can't be to hard.
First I know my picture is very large because when I expand it the blurriness goes away. So my first question is what apple software will fix this. The file size is 2.5 roughly and looks clear in viewer but like crap in Motion, how do I fix that?
Secondly, Should I be able to see my image clearly on the screen or will it get better when it's all finalized.
Lastly should I be on 8 bit for viewing or does that have nothing to do with my problem.
Thanks for any help.

Full screen preview and slideshow are blurry / fuzzy

Hi folks-
I just upgraded from CS2 to CS4, in part to improve efficiency of selecting photos - I wanted the zoom and loupe features. Unfortunately a very basic function has been compromised and I'm hoping there's a solution: In both full-screen preview and slideshow the full-screen image is notably blurry. This is a problem for two reasons: 1. I can't judge pictures accurately by just flipping through them in full-screen mode (without zooming to 100% to see if they are well-focused). 2. I can't use Slideshow for, well, slideshows. I've had to resort to keeping another app (like Windows Picture Viewer) open just to be able to quickly flip through and evaluate images full-screen or to show slideshows.
I've tried setting all the options related to image quality (they mostly have to do with caching thumbnails and speeding 100% viewing); I've tried purging the cache files. Nothing helps.
Any ideas? Thanks!

It seems to me that there is something wrong with it.
I am trying Bridge CS4 as a viewer for my JPEG files.
I also noticed that the previews were fuzzy. I activated the high-quality previews as well as the option to generate the previews at screen size.
Here's what I noticed. I went to check out a specific photo that is quite sharp with a number of straight lines, angles, details, where it's very easy to detect a lack of sharpness. That photo immediately looked fuzzy to me, which didn't jive with my memory of it. I quickly opened it in other viewers, which displayed it as intended with all the expected sharpness.
So, I went through the settings to see where the problem could be and I immediately thought of checking the box to get software previews instead of hardware, restarted the app, purged the cache, tried again. There my photo had recovered its sharpness, or at least most of it. I thought I found the culprit, but not quite.
I went to browse other photos and found one in particular with a lot of fine detail (hair) and that photo also didn't display all the sharpness that it should have (I was still using software mode). The difference was very slight and to make sure of it it required A/B comparison between Bridge and PS, but there was a difference.
Now I tried the opposite. I went back to hardware rendering mode, restarted, purged the cache, tried again. That second photo looked alright in preview, but the previous photo looked fuzzy again.
So, it doesn't work the same way for each photo...
What's the main difference between the first photo, obviously fuzzy in hardware mode, and the second one, alright in hardware mode but slightly fuzzier in software? The ratio. The first one is a vertical photo, the second one is horizontal (close to square).
I quickly checked other vertical photos and they showed the same behavior...
Now staying in hardware mode, I noticed something else. When I preview the vertical photo and click on it, or double click, it quickly jumps, switching between 2 versions of the photo: the one displayed originally (fuzzy) and another one, with a very slightly different size, which is sharp. During that manipulation it also briefly displays "100%" at the top of the screen. It doesn't stick when you click and immediately switches back, so it looks like a glitch.
Now in software mode, I tried the same, this time you can click once on the photo (which is originally displayed *almost* sharp). When you click once, it displays "100%" but also displays a very slightly smaller version that is clearly fuzzy. Clicking again goes back to the other, less fuzzy one, but doesn't display "100%" this time.
Doing the same test on horizontal photos shows no change that I can see.
So, it seems to me that in the preview mode, Bridge has trouble displaying some photos (vertical ones?) in their actual resolution (100%)
and since there is a slight resizing going on, it brings fuzziness. This doesn't explain the very slight fuzziness seen on horizontal photos in software mode.
Now I'll mention, for those still awake, that I saw no fuzziness on the same vertical photos when I go to Review Mode with *hardware* rendering. Photos there are sharp. Now if I go to the review mode with software rendering enabled, vertical photos are not 100% sharp (akin to the small difference I mentioned earlier while in software mode), while they are sharper in preview.
To sum up, it seems that the only configuration that gives me consistently 100% sharp (=as they were meant to be after post-processing) photos no matter what their orientation, is when I stay in hardware rendering mode and use the Review Mode, instead of preview.
This all really smells like a bug.
For info, I am using Windows 7 and an ATI HD4850 card, and this only about processed JPEG files, not RAW files.
Perhaps the preview is really meant as a quick preview and not a tool to view final photos at 100% accuracy...

Previews are Blurry in Bridge CS6

On several occasions I have seen that some images are previewed blurry in Bridge CS6.
I have set the preview to full resolution/quality, so this is not the issue.
When it happens, it happens like this:
1. I have a layered file, and the preview is good and sharp.
2. Then I sharpen, and the preview is blurry.
This has occurred numerous times. I thought the preview was corrupted, so I deleted the file, and hauled it back from the trash, so a new preview would be built.
Again, this new preview would again be blurry. (Out of 20 files, two had a blurry preview - and the files themselves were NOT blurry).
Flattening such a file does not help. While the flattened file is also sharp in Photoshop, its preview remains blurry. A copied file also has the blurry preview.
I don't see any correlation with image dimensions, file sizes. Some images just randomely are previewed blurry in Bridge CS6.
The only correlation I see is that it is ALWAYS SHARPENED IMAGES that are previewed blurry (the unsharpened versions always look much sharper in Bridge CS6)
What can I do to have Bridge CS6 preview ALL images correctly?
edit: I purged the cache for this folder, and the rebuilt preview is again blurry.
Even worse, now 50 out of 100 images have blurry previews.
How can I get previews that I can work with?

I have a latest generation MacBook Pro retina, so that should be fine.
It actually worked when I purged the cache for this folder a second time. The blur went away.
The first time I had done a "select all" images to show Bridge which previews I needed rebuilt - not necessary, maybe that was an overload for Bridge.

Imported Screen Shots are Blurry

Hello FCP users,
I am challenged and need some guidance. The projects that I create a little mini-movies/demos made up of mostly imported screen shots and some still photos -- never any video. My challenge is that I have a very clean screen shot to work with -- if I bring them up in Preview, Photoshop, etc. they look great. The second I import them into FCP they are blurry, degraded and next to unreadable. I seems like I've tried everything, but nothing seems to make a difference.
I am not the one taking the screen shots -- they are provided from a different source each time. Each person most likely uses a different product to grab those screen shots, but my guess is that they are probably using snag-it or a similar product. I usually ask them to provide the "best" quality they can. That can mean a ton of different sized screen shots come my way. The ones I'm working with now range in size -- 1,116x760, 1,284x1000, 1,026x813, 1,023x830 to name a few.
I have been on the boards and did try one recommendation that I saw to reduce the size of the image to the same frame size that you are working with (in my case 720x480). Of course, when I do this there is degradation before I even bring it into FCP.
So, I'm wondering, should I be asking people to create their screen shots at 720x480? I've been playing around in Parallels with Snag-it to see what options are available -- I don't see that they can choose to produce the screen shots at a certain size -- they can reduce them after they take it, but there's that degradation again. Maybe there is some recommended product that I can suggest? Everyone I work with to supply the screen shots would be a pc user.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I do these often, and my screen quality always looks poor. I'd like to come up with a solution and I'm sure a big part of that is instructing those who supply the screen shots to take them a certain way...perhaps with a certain product...only I don't know what that is.
Best practices anyone?
My settings are:
Frame Size: 720x480
Aspect Ratio: NTSC DV (3:2)
Pixel Aspect Ratio: NTSC - CCIR 601 / DV (720x480)
Compressor: DV/DVCPRO - NTSC
Thanks for your insights.
Tawny

Pan & Scan: in this context, I was referring to the idea of panning across a screen shot instead of reducing it to the size of the video frame. In other words, the original is (e.g.) 2x the width or height and then, as you explain / narrate, it moves across the screen. This preserves the "local" resolution of the original, but doesn't give the viewer a single view of the whole screen. It can be used in conjunction with the "whole view" as a kind of CU shot.

Importing images makes them blurry and jaggy

Yes I have seen other posts on this. They were helpful and I progressed, but imported images still aren't right. I'm sure there must be just one small thing I'm doing wrong. Please help!
I imported DV NTSC footage (720x480, 0.9091 PAR). I have screenshots from Powerpoint slides that I want to overlay.
In Premiere they are blurry and jaggy. As you can see the original footage is fine, but when it's dropped in a sequence it's bad:
The interpretation seems to be okay:
I've created it correctly in Photoshop.You can see below that the file is 720x480px and I have the DV PAR set:
My output is for computer screens so when I export from DV to H.264 I select Field Order: None. But I noticed that if I export with Field Order: Lower the screenshot/image looks good. However the rest of my DV footage looks interlaced, so I need Field Order set to none.
Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong? It shouldn't be this hard to get sharp looking images into Premiere!
Thanks.

Hi Colin,
Colin Brougham wrote:
Try this for preview in the Program Monitor:
Both my playback and paused resolutions are both full so that isn't the problem.
If it looked crappy in Premiere while building up the video I wouldn't care. It's the fact that it also looks like that in the exported that's the problem.
I'm sure it's some small thing I'm doing wrong like getting the framesize or PAR wrong, except that it's not those settings.
Any other ideas?

PC and OS switch, now Bridge previews are blurry

Yesterday I (well, my son--not me!) moved my Photoshop CS4, Bridge, ACR, LR2 to a new PC. Operating system changed from XP to Windows7.
Previews are blurry; I cleared cache, in Preferences, I've got Monitor Size Previews selected, Software Rendering Deselected (Selecting it made no difference). Video Card is GeForceGTX 285.
Thanks!

Some individual jpg's are blurry. If I right click and delete cache for that individual image, I get the crisp preview. What gives? I thought that clearing the cache meant clearing all of the cache? I can live with this. All cache is not created equal.
There is the central cache which is the main cache and you can purge it in the cache window. If you have cache exported to folders that cache is not purged. To purge both cache you need to go to Tools/cache/purge cache for xxx folder.
If you get no preview for CR2 files you probably have either no Camera Raw (ACR), have more than one ACR or have ACR in wrong folder.
Open PS and in Help click on about plug-ins and camera raw. Will tell you what version you have. Should be 5.x for CS4.
