Low image resolution makes photos blurry ...

What ever happened to the hi-res image sync feature in iTunes?
I remember that there used to be an option to sync full-size images, now I just noticed that all my images recently got "downgraded" to a rather small size, so any zooming in makes them way too blurry.
When was the hi-res import removed from iTunes?
Or did I miss a new feature in 8.0.2 ?

How can I avoid the images getting all blurred out, when I choose to reduce the image sizes?
The system is compressing with lossy JPEG which produces problems if the data you input is already compressed with lossy JPEG. Or in other words, you get double lossy compression.
Having seen a string of similar questions, I showed how to configure a custom Quartz compression but a custom Quartz compression cannot be configured to work with the save as PDF service in Apple Pages.
Therefore, if you wish to customise control of compression, you have to do so before placing the photograph(s) in Apple Pages. The custom compression described below will work in Apple Preview when you save your photograph as PDF, before placing in Apple Pages.
ColorSync and Core Image can do this and that, but Apple applications don't appear to have hooks into what Apple system software can achieve.

  • Low image resolution in ipad

    I had the new iPad for 3 months now but recently when emailing photos taken with the iPad to friends has been changed from 1936x2592 to 240x320. I couldn't find any settings to change the image resolutions. I am not sure why the resolution is being compress while emailing to people.

    Thanks for your reply
    The issue is the pictures (e.g. employee photos) are saved in Database as BLOB data type.
    The report is loading employee photo into the report (e.g. employee card), but the loaded picture is coming up with much less quality than the original.

  • Will there be a fix to the low image resolutions in Photostream between the iPhone?

    Photostream problems arise in the highly inadequate process Apple has currently set up. Once an image is taken by an iPhone they are automatically uploaded to photostream....
    ...This is where the troubles begin.
    Should you then download that newly taken/uploaded image to an iPad (iOs) via Photostream for the purpose of editing, it will have it's resolution reduced automatically (no choice of the user). Converserly, should you download that same newly taken/uploaded image via Photostream onto your desktop/laptop (MacOs), surprisingly it will be the original size in which it was taken w/ no reductions in the resolution.
    WHY?
    Apple, please fix this, otherwise this makes using photostream on my ipad for image transfer/edit (for larger screen real estate), totally obsolete!
    This is very frustrating as this is one of the main reasons why I purchased an ipad in the first place.

    IPhoto on the iPad does support RAW images by the way, and other apps too.
    That depends on what you are calling "support". If you read the iPhoto documentation carefully, you will see, that iPhoto does not do any more than import and store the raw files, but cannot edit the. For browsing the embedded jpeg preview will be displayed, and if you edt the raw image, the edited image will be derived from the jpeg preview. The raw file will never be developed.
    See: Using RAW images with iPhoto for iOS: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5182
    When you import a RAW image to your iPad, iPhoto will display only the JPEG version of the image embedded in the RAW file. When editing a RAW image in iPhoto, the edits are derived from the embedded JPEG, and saved in JPEG format.
    You cannot email RAW images from iPhoto, but you can share unedited RAW images to iTunes:
    Tap one of the photos you want to share to iTunes.
    Tap the share icon, and select iTunes from the options that appear.
    Follow the prompts to select one or more images to send to iTunes.
    In iTunes, select your device, and choose Apps.
    Scroll down to File Sharing.
    Select iPhoto, and then your photos. Click "Save to...".
    If you made any edits to your image, iPhoto will send a JPEG version to iTunes instead.
    If you import RAW+JPEG images, iPhoto will display and export the JPEG version.
    Nowhere is stated, that iPhoto can process raw images.
    With respect to the photo stream - believe, I am not happy with it, as it is. My post was meant to support your statement.
    The IOS devices are computers, but not yet up to serious, high resolution image processing. Everything is reduced to smaller resolutions and only easy to navigate, if you only work with a small set set of images, not with a large photo library, which is o.k. for web sharing and emailing, but not for preprocessing the images for further edits on your computer.
    Just try to delete 500 images at once from the iPad, when you are running out of storage. You will have to select them one by one, to delete them.

    How does iPhoto play a part in this?  You're in the iPhoto forum.  Shouldn't you be asking your question in the iPhone forum?  I'll ask the powers to be to move you question to the iPhone forum.

  • Continuous tone image resolution lower than specified

    The following message was posted in the incorrect forum; no legitimate solution to the problem was ever posted. I am re-posting it, as this is the same exact problem I am having, right down to the OS and version of Acrobat. Could someone please explain to me what this means and whether or not I should be concerned about it? I will also get two different kinds of results... one is a single number effective ppi on this error, such as 199, (which results in 200ppi if run through PitStop), and a two-number effective ppi, which we haven't been able to decipher, such as 501.357/179.55ppi (which should be a hi-resolution image).
    Help?

    > All text should export as vector, since it's all on a layer above any kind of image.
    Is there any transparency in the text, though? If you float text over
    an image with transparency, it MUST be exported as an image. If it is
    floated over vector art with transparency, it MIGHT.
    It's easy to assume that just because something is on top, it doesn't
    ever need to be flattened. This is not in fact true.
    >
    >I am a little concerned: is this a flaw in the Acrobat Program?
    You mean in its preflight? Unlikely, it isn't rocket science to
    calculate ppi, so the numbers are probably right.
    >
    >Where is this "Continuous tone image resolution" turned on/off? Why is it important?
    That's probably a reference to Distiller settings. I think we've
    established that you aren't using Distiller.
    >
    >Is InDesignCS2 flattening to low transparency settings, even though my settings dictate high?
    You'd probably need to ask in the InDesign forum. But bear in mind
    that the flattener is free to use lower resolution if it thinks that
    is all that is needed for particular effects.
    Maybe you could reopen the PDF in Illustrator, and use that to select
    the images in the flattened page. Might illuminate what is going on.

    You can't with iPhoto.
    You can with Preview or any image editor.

  • Iphoto says that my image resolution is to low?

    Iphoto says that my image resolution is to low, but my resolution is fine at 800 x 800 at 300 dpi... is this still to low....?
    Emac   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    alex333:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Too low for what? Is this for a print, book, calendar?
    The resolution iPhoto is requiring is shown in iPhoto: Minimum Picture Resolution For Ordering Quality Prints. Basically the important number is the number of pixels in the length and width, dpi aside.
    So your image is 800 x 800 pixels. A 4" x 4" picture would give you 200 dpi. For a 6 x 6" picture that would drop down to 150 dpi, etc.

  • How do I change the image resolution of a photo?

    Hi..,
         I am the beginner in Photoshop.
         I want to change one image resolution from 72 dpi to 300 dpi.
         So, I search and got one pdf for change the resolution of the image. In that they mention, take the "Printscreen" of the image and paste in the photoshop and change the mode(Index - flatten) and change resolution via the "Image -> image size -> Resolution".
         Like that i did, it changed correctly.
         After that I Open one already saved image file in Photoshop and do that same steps but the resolution was not changed.
    So, now how to change that saved image resolution to 300 dpi...??
    Regards.,
    VISWA

    Viswa,
    To find the current resolution of your image, follow these steps:
    With your image open in Photoshop, Image > Image Size (Like you've already done earlier).
    Check the resolution as shown above. If it doesn't show 300, enter 300, hit OK and 'Save' your image.
    Open the file and check again. If it still shows 72, post back with more details of the type of file you're trying to open in Photoshop and if possible, a screenshot so we can help.

  • Low image quality in pics

    Hi: I have a ipad 2 and when taking are blurry photos in low image quality. I have to do something to improve the image quality?
    I wait your comments...Thanks.

    Two main points:
    1.  Use good lighting.
    2.  Remember the photo is actually taken when you release the shutter ("take photo") button.  Make sure you do not move the iPad when you release the button.

  • Does Added Text Resolution Match Photo Resolution

    I am adding text to some screen grabs from an old 8mm movie.  The movie resolution is not very high.  When I add text to the screen shots, they are very low resolution.
    I am assuming that the text resolution is simply matching that of the screen grab.  Is there anyway to set the text resolution different from that of the photo from the screen capture?

    I will piggy back on this discussion.  I have discovered that, although the image resolution is inconsequential when sizing images by pixel dimensions, it still matters if you decide to add copyright information with the type tool.
    e.g. I have received images from several people, all sized to 1024 pixels in width, but I wanted to add their names to the front of the images before putting the images into a slideshow.  I quickly discovered that, although the images are of identical size when viewed, the names applied vary in size according to the resolution of the image.
    Since different makes of cameras assign a different resolution to images taken with that camera, I needed to change the resolution of the images to all be the same before I could add names that appear as the same size.  This came as a surprise to me.

  • 24"iMAC optimal screen resolution for photo processing

    I have a 24" iMAC (matte) and do mostly photo editing. What is the optimal screen resolution for photo processing work?
    thanks
    a/d/

    All Screens are 72 dpi (dots per inch- in reference to pixels) no matter what screen resolution you use. The only difference the screen resolution will make is the size of the photo when you are viewing. Higher resolution means the picture will take up less space in you work area, but you will most likely have to zoom in to edit finer areas. Lower resolution will cause the picture you are editing to take up more of your work space and to see multiple photos side by side you will have to zoom out of fron the photos. So, really the choice is up to you.
    When creating the original document, this is where you need to monitor the dpi. The higher the dpi, the clearer your photo will look in print. A high dpi also means more disk space is being taken up by the photo. Generally a good dpi for print is 300 dpi. Anything that is only purposed for a screen based project (i.e. internet logos) should be saved at 72 dpi. Why use disk space and cause your pages to take longer load if no one will be able to tell the difference on screen between 72 and 300 dpi?
    Hope this helps!

  • Poor Image quality of photos that are loaded into imovie 09 for slideshows

    I've been scouring through the topics on the subject and cannot seem to find a definitive answer. I use imovie primarily to make photo slideshows mainly for my wedding photography. imovie HD (the 06 version) was/is fantastic. imovie 09 however seems to have a problem coping with the images that are imported. The issue lies with colours, particulary where a smooth colour gradient occurs, also too it seems to struggle with blacks on occassion. It is as if imovie 09 doesn't have enough colours and this 'gradation' is clearly evident on a number of pictures used. All my images a hi res jpeg, some converted from RAW.
    In iphoto, photoshop, finder, bridge etc they are 100% fine but the moment they are either dragged from a folder into IM09, or imported via the menu the issue occurs. I have burn't a DVD with these slideshows and the DVD shows the same problem. There must be a problem when the image is brought into IM09 initially, perhaps the downsizing process is too much resulting in a super compressed image, hence this messy colour gradation.
    I've even exported to a quicktime movie and they are 100% clean images, but I, prefer the ease of adding music and other features in imovie.
    Something is not right and it's a pain. imovie HD 06 is so much better at handling this, I'm not sure what apple have done here. This problem was presented a week after I had my mac book pro 13" at the Australian PMA back in July. Apple guys acknowledged the problem and even used my 'clean images' on several of their macs to confirm a software issue, they said they would pass it up the line but nothing in terms of software updaes have fixed the issue. I'm sure others have encountered the problem. Any suggestions? Help appreciated.

    Yup, you are not the only one, its sooo easy to demonstrate. Take any nice photo with some dark gradients, resize to HD resolution, import and export as HD.

  • Poor displayed image resolution?

    I've just started using FormsCentral I've inserted an image created in PhotoShop and saved both as a jpg (600dpi) and as a png. But the displayed image resolution (in FormsCentral preview) for either format is terrible. What have I done wrong?

    If the space the image is placed in is smaller then the image size then our servers scale it down to fit. The best thing to do is make sure the image is not wider than the page and not taller than the space. Also save it at a lower web dpi so we don't reprocess it on the server.
    Hope that works for you.

  • Problem with image resolution with larger screen size

    I was working on Basic Lens Sample (Basic
    Lens Sample) for windows phone 8 App. In this the camera by default sets to default highest resolution.
    Just had couple of questions on this:
    1.) How to change basic settings like resolution,ISO etc.,in this app, because during initial settings
    it only takes default value and when I try to change that it throws an error. Also a code comment is written during initialization of camera to take only these default values. So when to change these settings and how?.
    2.) How to adjust resolution for phablets having 6" screen. Like when I run the code in Lumia 1320,
    the image resolution is not that good and it breaks. So how to adjust screen resolutions for catering different smartphones with different resolutions and screen sizes.
    Any solution or suggestions or snippets is very much appreciated.
    Thanks In Advance.

    Hello,
    For you first question, we can use
    GetAvailableCaptureResolutions method of PhotoCaptureDevice to get the available resolutions in device. That code sample returns the largest resolution by default, you just need to choose an appropriate one. You can find it in CameraController class in
    Models folder in the project.
    For you second question, I tested the sample in lumia 1320, I didn’t see the image broken.
    >> So how to adjust screen resolutions for catering different smartphones with different resolutions and screen sizes.
    You can get an appropriate resolution image and let the OS downscale it for you. You can find the support resolution in the following link. Go to Supported resolutions section.
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/jj206974(v=vs.105).aspx.
    If you want to display the whole large resolution image in lower resolution device, I think you can use
    ScrollViewer control. Use Application.Current.Host.Content.ActualWidth and ActualHeight properties to get the device resolutions, and then you can know if your app is running on a lower resolution device.
