Poor quality photos

Pics are terrible in low light conditions

Yep. Cause the iPad's camera is mediocre at best. It was meant to be used for facetime and is pretty much useless for photos.

  • Poor quality Photo printing with the HP Officejet 6600

    Is anyone having a problem with the HP Officejet 6600 having very poor quality photo prints?

    Hi HereInJersey,
    Welcome to the HP Support forums.  I understand that printed photos from your  Officejet 6600 don't have the quality that you expect.
    I have included the "Fixing Ink Streaks, Faded Prints, and Other Common Print Quality Problems" troubleshooting document.  It has detailed steps to take to improve the quality of your print jobs.

  • Why am i getting poor quality photo prints after installing lion using canon pixma 6120?

    After installing Lion, I began experiencing poor quality photo prints on my Canon Pixma 6120 printer.  Prior to Lion, my picture prints were all high quality.  Now, anything black in the picture is faded.

    Lion should not cause the blacks to print faded. The printer drivers used by Snow Leopard and Leopard are the same version as that used by Lion.
    For starters I suggest you check that you have the latest version installed. This Apple KB article shows the MG6100 series has v10.51.2.0 as the latest version.
    I also recommend you do a Nozzle test print. This can be executed from the MG6120 control panel or via the Printer Utilties window (via Print & Scan, select the printer and then open Options & Supplies and then select the Utilties tab).
    If the nozzle test print is okay but the blacks still look faded when printing photos (note the printer has two black ink tanks - one for photos and one for text) then try a reset of the printing system. This will remove the MG6120 from the Print & Scan pane but not the supporting drivers. So you will only have to add the printer again.

  • IPhone 5 flash on camera stopped working when taking photos & poor quality photos

    iPhone 5 camera flash  stopped  working when taking  photos and poor Quality photos . Flash still works when in torch mode .

    Hey there Jimbo,
    It sounds like your flash has stopped working on your phone and you noticed a decrease in image quality.
    I recommend a few troubleshooting steps here. Start with closing the running apps on the phone:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that restart the phone and test it again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:

  • Poor quality photo printing

    I am getting very poor quality prints from my new Canon MG6220. I have it set on the advanced photo with glossy paper. Am I missing something? 

    Are you using Canon brand paper? Unless you have the proper profile for other papers you'll get less than ideal prints. The printer (when working correctly) will spray the correct amount of ink onto the paper, but it's matched to Canon paper. IF you use any other brand it may absorb more ink or less than the printer is set to spray. That has a major effect on the look of the photo.
    Also note that most people edit using their monitor set at full brightness, but when they print it's not the same. It's very important to set your monitor's brightness to match what your printer produces.

  • My new 4GS is taking really poor quality photos, how can I improve them?

    I'm trying out the camera on my new 4S and am shocked at the poor quality. I've taken the same photo in the same light etc with my 3GS and the image is much better, I can see more detail and the texture is smoother. My 4S images look terrible!
    Has anyone else noticed this? Is there a way to alter the settings? Thanks in advance.

    Hi there, i am an iphoneographer from OZ, and i am having the same issue, i have switched from iphone 4 which was upgraded to IOS5 to the 4s with the IOS 5. Since owning the 4s i have had nothing but noisey pictures in low lighting conditions, including cloudy days night time occasions indoors ect, even when using flash.
    I have used different apps, including the standard apple cam, king camera, Pro cam, Focus Plus, and the quality is all the same with the noise, but yet when i take the same pictures with the iphone 4 (which my other half has now) in the same lighting they are fantastic quality. I'm not clear here what the issue is as being an iphoneographer/Photgrapher i though i knew a fair bit about the iphone but this has really stumped me and left me no choice to send out a call for help and ask if other people out there are in the same boat, and have any advice on what possibilities could help fix this, as i miss the quailty on my iphone and dont want to have to swap back to it. Cheers LJ

  • Poor quality photos and type

    I am doing 2 projects, first one is a video of a trip I took, where I have added type, imported in some special pieces I created in After Effects etc. After running if off and importing it into dvdstudio pro it looks great. The problem is with project #2, my photo montage. In FCP I brought high quality photos in and added type to the photos (just as I added type in my video project), but after running if off the exact same way as the video (basic export, self contained movie, current settings) and bring it in to dvdstudio pro, the quality is horrible. Type is pixilated, photos are a bit pixilated too. What am I doing wrong? It's not a monitor thing, I have burned a dvd and viewed it on tv and it was just as bad.
    Thanks for any help you can give me,
    Michelle

    Its not possible yet to figure out whether your problem is with FCP or with DVDSP (or both).
    You need to hook up a TV to view the work in progress. Run firewire out from the computer to your camera then cables from your camera to the TV. Your camera manual will show you how to connect it to your TV if you are unfamilier with the process.
    Once the TV monitor is connected, watch the sequence.
    Does it demonstrate problems?
    If so, lets fix them here.
    If not, the issues are being introduced in the mpeg2 encoding.
    What settings are you using?

  • Officejet Pro 8600 Plus produces very poor quality photos

    I have a new  HP Pro 8600 Plus that has disappointed me in the quality of photo prints.  I have always had very good results from my prior HP printers, the last one being the 6500 and was expecting similar quality with this one.  I am using HP Premium Plus paper (glossy) and the ink that came with my printer (which I purchased at Costco).  The photos are lacking in sharpness and look like very cheap copies.  Am I expecting too much from this model?

    I've had the same experience, it doesn't print glossy. I'm using the same HP photo paper. I believe it's the type of ink they're using on the 8600. They say it doesn't dry up as easily, so maybe this is the down side. However, it would be nice if they wouldn't advertise, ".. prints impressive business photos." I bought this printer to replace an HP Photosmart c4180, that prints impressive photos, but the ink drys up because I use it so sporadically. I guess I'm going to have to replace the color cartridge (since it dried up again with plenty of ink in it) and remember to print color copies at least once a week. Otherwise, the 8600 seems awesome so far.

  • Poor quality photos after rendering in Premiere Elements 10 timeline

    I've imported my photos from Photoshop Elem. 10, at 720x480 res., 72 ppi, jpeg files. and the photo quality is blurred and pixelated and rendering the timeline doesn't seem to help.  I checked the flicker removal box...I'm not sure that helped much either.  I did a number of these photo videos in an old Premiere application and never ever had this problem, so I'm not sure what's going on. The photo in the preview looks just fine.   I'm doing this video for my daughter's wedding, so want it to be of the best quality.   Can anyone give me any hints.    

    This is rather a PS, on display of DVD-Video on HD TV's. Just did a SlideShow of ~  4000 x 3000 pxls. Still Images, Scaled to 720 x 480 in PS w/ Bicubic Sharper. It was output to a DVD-Video. When I tested it on my laptop with an HD display, the Images looked just OK - DVD resolution w/ no up-rezzing chip involved. However, when I played that same disc on my Panasonic BD player (w/ up-rezzing chip) on a 42" LED TV, things looked great. Only little problem was that in one Image, I got a bit of "glimmer" in some roof tiles - that Image had been slightly over-Sharpened. My bad. As the glimmer was only in one Image, and its Duration was 05 sec., I let it go, as I doubt that anyone else will even see it, when fed to two very large Diamondtron screens in a semi-dark event hall.
    The gist of that is that when played on the multi-drive onto my laptop's 17" HD screen, w/ no up-rezzing chip, the Images were just OK - nothing special, and I knew those Images intimately. However, w/ up-rezzing chip in the BD player, and displayed on a much larger screen, the overall quality improved greatly.
    Good luck,

  • Isight camera poor quality photos

    I have an ipad3 which used to take great pictures.  Recently though, the iSight camera (that's the one facing OUT,  correct?) Has been taking photos that are too  bright, with uneven lighting and blurry pics.  I get this result wherever the photo is taken, the problem seems to be with the camera or lens?
    FaceTime camera (the one facing the user)  photos look fine! 
    I'd appreciate any suggestions as to  what might be the problem and solution.
    Thanks

    Hello there, Neil.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides a practical checklist of steps to try for troubleshooting issues with undesired image quality:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try to remain steady while focusing:
    Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
    Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
    Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
    Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
    If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

  • Poor quality image with doing videos with photos/images HELP!

    Hello,
    I bought Adobe Premiere Element to make videos with pictures. When I do the video, the quality of my photos is good. When I save the video on my computer or I download it on youtube (example) the quality of my photos is extremely poor. Why? Does anyone can help me? Thank you!

    What Project Preset did you choose at New Project? In the case of Video, composed of Still Images ONLY, you would set that to your desired delivery specs. Not so, if you are also using Video.  I tried several types of parameters. Some parameters give poor quality when I upload it to Youtube (for example) and others in the design of video and upload to YouTube. So which settings should I use for photos only ?
    This sounds like you are talking about the Export/Share settings for output to YouTube.
    What I was asking is what did you start off with, when you were at New Project?
    If you are doing an SD Project, you will have either 720 x 480 (NTSC), or 720 x 576 (PAL) pixels in the Project's Frame Size. If that is what you want, then I would Scale your camera original Stills to 640 x 480 (for NTSC), as you have Square Pixels, and the Project will have either 0.9 for NTSC Standard, or 1.21 for NTSC Widescreen).
    PrE can Scale the Still Images, but the Scaling algorithms in Photoshop are much better, and offer more control.
    Now, if you wish to do an HD Project, just choose that as your Preset, and then use the Images in about their original size. Note, there will be some black borders, as the screen-caps most likely have a different Aspect Ratio, than a Video Project, which for HD will be 16:9. Especially with screen-caps, that are pretty low resolution to begin with, I would NOT do any Scaling, and would live with the letterboxing, or pillar boxing, rather than Scale and effectively Crop.
    Also, when Scaling in Photoshop, I do not Save_As JPEG, as it introduces compression, but only as either PSD (Photoshop's native format), or PNG.
    Good luck,

  • Photos poor quality

    I managed to download my old photo collections in the library, but it seems all the photos are of poor quality. The resolution is bad. Is there any way I can fix this problem? Thanks.

    Photos downloaded to the iPhone are optimized for the iPhone and do not maintain their original resolution.

  • Very poor quality on photos made with iphone 4

    Since a few weeks i've noticed that photos made with my iPhone 4 have a very poor quality. I've upgraded to IOS 4.3.2 thinking about a software problem, but the quality is still very poor. It´s like out of focus. I submit a just made photo. Any answer? Thanks a lot.
    This photo is made with original photo app and no zoom.

    Only thing I can think of is a focus problem (which could be software) or a lens with some junk on it that causes some blurring.
    Can't offer a solution but can make some suggestions.
    Take  different types of pictures and, just for variety in case it reveals something, take two of each - one touching the screen and then one after touching for comparison.
    Do close-ups and distance shots.  Do indoor and outdoor, with and without flash on the indoor - again, of the same thing so you can compare.
    Might reveal a pattern.  If all are bad, then it probably goes back to the lense or software not working.
    If some come out fine, it would seem to reduce the chance of it being the lens being dirty or something.  On the other hand, if close up shots look good but distant ones don't, it could be either software or the internal focusing hardware isn't adjusting enough for distant shots.
    Just some things to consider.

  • Poor quality of imported photos. Less colours/colors ? [Examples]

    Hi,
    I'm making project in iMovie'09
    I'm mixing movies with photos in my project.
    But in my iMovie project - pictures are poor quality.
    iMovie probably use less colors what you can see on dark parts of photos and movies.
    I read somewhere that it can be only in iMovie preview - when iMovie use worse quality movies for
    faster running. So I exported my movie to different formats to check how it will look like.
    I exported it to BIG, "HD" formats, and also using QuickTime with H.263 compression and without compression at all ( 20 seconds file takes over 800 MB !!!), but the result was almost the same.
    Here you can see some examples:
    http://pokazywarka.pl/imovie-quality/
    The same problem is according to movies - you can see similar bad quality on darker parts of imported movies... Movies in original looks fine.
    Any idea how to solve this problem and improve quality of pictures?
    Best regards,
    Patrick

    I too am having a problem. Mine's not even a picture with huge quality or something, just a an SD video in 16:9. The input format is Apple MPEG-2 SD Camcorder Video, 704 x 480 (834 x 480), Millions. I've exported to dozens of options with a share to media browser, iTunes, export movie, Quick time, etc. and every time I get color bands that aren't in the original. I thought I'd maybe fix the problem by using the "optimize video" feature which converts the file to Apple Intermediate Codec, 704 x 480 (834 x 480), Millions. Still, this video (when selecting reveal in finder) looks great, no banding. Again I export, even export to 16:9 DV (no compression right?) and the banding appears. Everything looks good until I get to that export stage. I don't expect perfection, but if iMovie can handle HD movies I would expect SD to come out looking basically like it went in. Please help.
