Resolution of Photos Changed

Suddenly, all photos in my iPhone 3G, 8gb and software 4.0.1 are very low res and fuzzy. The photos in my computer are crisp and hi res. What happened and how can I fix this? Other displays such as the apps, battery screen, etc are crisp and vivid....just photos are messed up. Thanks in advance for any suggestions and help.

Hi paperboy98, hi Allan
Do you mean photos that came as a sync to your phone, or the original ones that you take with the camera and are stored in the camera roll?
Could it be the same problem I was posting: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2530034&tstart=60
Cheers.

  • Can anyone help me fix the resolution on photos?

    I need help with picture resolution immediately. I work the school yearbook and photo resolution is the only thing setting me back fron publishing pages. Photos saved in my computer don't have 300 resolution and i need them to be. When I changed a photo to 300 resolution the photo still shows up as unacceptable resolution and then I am unable to publish my yearbook pages. If anyone knows how to fix this problem please let me know.

    You would have to specify the final print size as it would appear in the yearbook. For example, if the print were to appear in print @ 3 X 2 inches, even at normal printing resolution of 300 DPI, this would be a smal file in overall pixel dimensions. 900 by 600 pixels to be precise. This would have to be down sampled heavily from a normal camera file of perhaps 2500 X 3800 pixels, (or thereabouts). A photo uploaded to the web is normally only at a resolution of 72 DPI ...!
    Basically you would take the size of the image, in inches, as it will appear in print, then multiply those numbers by 300 (the DPI or PPI for print). A 5 X 7 inch print would of necessity be, a 1500 x 2100 pixel file.
    You should probably copy a couple of photos and practice with the "image" > "resize" dialog box. A hint is when you have to resample down, set the method at "bicubic sharper".

  • 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!

  • After Editing, Photos Change

    This was happening in iPhoto 8 and still after installing iPhoto 11...same problem. After an edit, the photo changes, not back to original, but to something other than what I edited. The thumb will show the corrupted version, but when I go back in to re-edit, the photo changes back to my originally desired changes. After getting back out, the thumb will be appear corrupted again.
    After moving to desktop and opening with Preview or emailing to another computer, it shows the corrupted photo.
    This started after updating to Maverick. 

    NO!
    You NEVER inmport one iPhoto library into another iPhoto library
    This was a test - it shows that iPhoto is OK andy your library need to be fixed
    backup your iPhoto library, depress and hold the option and command keys, launch iPhoto and from the resulting first aid window rebuild your thumbnails and then repeat and rebuild yhour database

  • What is the ideal resolution for photos when creating a photo book in iphoto?

    Can you tell me what is the ideal resolution for photos I use to create a photo book from my iphoto library? 

    The DPI depends on the size of the image to be printed by the image file.  A 639 x 960 image could print a 3.5  x  5 photo at 180 DPI.  This website explains it further: The Myth of DPI.  
    So use the smaller photos only in the smaller frames on multiple photo layouts for best results.

  • Photos change order when burning to disc

    I have created a separate album of photos that I want to burn to a CD. When I do so, some of the photos change order. I have tried to delete those photos and then re-add them to the album, but to no avail. I have also tried to change their date so that they are chronologically in the right order, but this doesn't help either. Any help would be truly appreciated. I want to give this CD to my father for Christmas. Thanks!!

    Hi Tom,
    You should be able to make a slidshow almost as easy as what you're trying to do right now... it'll take some pratice
    Personally, I have both exported a slideshow from iPhoto to iDVD and also created a slideshow directly in iDVD, the latter is a better fit for what you're doing.
    Open iDVD, create new project, name as you like and save, will auto open to work window, click on 'customize', pick a theme you like. Now click on 'Map' and in the customize pane click on 'Media'. In the media pane you have itunes, photos and movie, select photos... you're iPhoto library will appear along with all the albums you might have created and organized. Here's what makes it sweet, you can drag each album into the 'Map' Theme icon and it will automatically import and turn into a slideshow and take on the name of the album... to see your progess hit the Preview button... you'll have to do a little learning and tweaking, you can add music etc., but that's it, you made a slide show ready to burn to a dvd...
    My suggestions would be to organize albums as you like, named appropriately and just have fun with it. You can save and go back and edit at a later date. Use the highlight and delete or cut options to remove etc etc etc...
    You can burn project using the File > Burn DVD option or you can save the FINAL production use the File > Save As Disk Image option, and you can burn the DVD through disk utility which will give you more options on burn speed and buring at 1x speed may yield the best results...

  • Bugs? playback resolution will not change?

    The playback resolution will not change no matter what I choose ? it may be contributing to the distorted playback issues im having ? also when I select a clip from the project or media browser the sequence automatically starts in arri editing mode? I switch to dslr but the playback gets worse.
    win 7
    64
    gtx780

    When you refer to playback resolution, do you mean the setting highlighted in this screenshot?
    If so, what happens when you try to change the setting? And, of course, if that's not what you were referring to, please elaborate.
    And when you say "when I select a clip from the project or media browser the sequence automatically starts in arri editing mode," are you referring to creating a sequence from the clip? If so, the editing mode generally doesn't matter much unless you plan to use "smart encoding" or to enable "Match Sequence Settings" or "Use Preview Files" when you export, neither of which is recommended in most cases. The main properties of the sequence settings that you want to make sure are right are the height, width, pixel aspect ratio, and frame rate.
    As to the distorted playback issues, a screenshot might help to start troubleshooting that.
    Finally, please specify exactly which version of Premiere you have--the three-part number like 2014.0.1, not simply CC or CS6.

  • Photo changes tones when i add a new Stamp Visible Layer!

    When i make adjustments like for example adding a Posterise layer! lets say i would like to Stamp visible, shift+alt +command+E for mac. My photo changes tones slightly!!
    Why does this happen??

    Does it happen if you first set the photo to 100% view (actual pixels) and then do Stamp Visible?
    View>100% or double click on the Zoom Tool in the toolbox.

  • How do I get full resolution from Photo Booth?

    My camera is 720 p but pics taken with Photo Booth are only 221 kb. Is this right? Is there a way to get higher resolution from Photo Booth?

    Yeah, that sounds about right for a camera of that pixel count.

  • How do I resize/change resolution of photos from iPhoto when used in iWeb

    I am shooting with a 7.1 Mega Pixel Canon to get enough quality to crop and print high quality pictures of my baby daughter and her adventures in the world.
    I have a website up made with iWeb, but when I select the photos in iPhoto and go Share / Sent to iWeb / photo page - I get a nice layout of the photos but at full resolution when the thumbnails are selected or the slide show is run. Although nice and sharp, this is a pain for anyone looking at the site even with high speed access.
    There must be some way to resize photos, but I have yet to figure that out with iPhoto, let alone iWeb. And as one photo at a time is a pain, there must also be a way to rescale a whole selection of photos that I want to use for a page - say her Disneyworld trip. I can't be the first person to run into this, but I have not found anything out there to point me in the right direction.
    Ideally I wold like to create a resized set from the originals - so I can still print and crop in high qulity. I also am not really sure what resolution would be best or easy viewing and download - that's probably subjective. 1200x800 comes to mind but I am open to suggestions.
    Perhaps resize is not the right term - changing resolution is probably more accurate, but there too I have not found an answer.
    Appreciate the help and suggestions.

    dan28088,
    Tried your site on two different browsers, using highspeed broadband; the site is, indeed, extaordinarily slow. We can dissect the thing down to the last file, but it won't change anything, as far as I can see. If it were me, I would host the site on another server. The .Mac servers are just plain slow, period. I think that is the primary problem here. Just my opinion, others may disagree.
    I created a new site this past weekend for a new project, and published it to .Mac. It contains a lot of jpeg files in slideshows (along with the usual png suspects!) . After reviewing it a few times, and not being satisfied with page-load speeds, I published to a folder and uploaded the site to space on 1&1 WebHosting.
    The page-load speeds TRIPLED. That's right...3X as fast page-load speeds. Even large, linked to files, 3MB+, load within a reasonable amount of time. (seconds)
    I still will keep a .Mac subscription, as I like and use all of the other features of the iDisk. But for serious website hosting, I think you will be better 'served' with a remote host. Your money with .Mac is certainly not wasted; the syncing services and other features of iDisk space that integrate with your local files are well worth the yearly fee. Again, only one user's opinion, based on experience.

  • Changing resolution of photos

    Hi I am a new user and hope someone can help with some information
    I would like to change the resolution of some digital photos to (640x480) by "downsampling" in IPhoto before importing to I Movie.
    Does anyone know how to do this and will this reduce the file size?
    Thanks in advance!
    GRF1

    GRF1,
    There is some great information in this page by Matti Haveri, one of the iMovie gurus: http://www.sjoki.uta.fi/~shmhav/SVCDon_aMacintosh.html#slideshow
    In this section about slideshows he discusses the math involved in figuring the pixel dimensions of still images to be used in your movie. Notice he says that if you downsize to 640 X 480 that your images may appear somewhat fuzzy, and that there is really no room to zoom in with the Ken Burns effect. If you do plan on zooming in, then you need to calculate for the zoom. For example, if you zoom in at 2X the picture size, then you need double the pixels in order for the image to look good during the close-up.
    Also notice his recommendation of a 3rd party application PhotoToMovie. He says it reduces flicker by slightly blurring the images. Many iMovie gurus have compared its slideshow capabilities to that of iMovie and iDVD, and have reluctantly come to the conclusion that it is better. Since your slideshow has so much architecture, it might be worth looking into. You can create the slideshow in PhotoToMovie and then place in into iMovie so that you can burn in iDVD.
    Another great source of info is Dan Slagle's Unofficial iMovie FAQ. He quotes another guru, Fred Shippey, who gives the pixel math involved in stills which will be zoomed. You can follow his link to Fred's quality test. Notice again the recommendation for PhotoToMovie, which Dan and Fred agree does a better job of rendering the slideshow.
    For more information about flicker and jaggies, read Karl Petersen's test here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2909799&#2909799 and here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2105598.
    Lots of homework, but I hope it helps.

  • Change resolution of photo

    Im makeing a photobook and the photos Im importing need a higher resolution, Can I do that in Iphoto?

    No - it is impossible to "improve" quality once you have a photo - you can change teh numbers but anything you do will at beat leave the quality unchanged and generally will reduce it

  • Iphone 5c changes the resolution of photo then I put it on a computer?

    When i take a photo holding the phone in a landscape way, and take a photo, the resolution of the picture on the phone looks to be 16:9. When i put i on my computer, it changes is to 4:3. just really box like. I took a picture of my 1920x1080 monitor. Now it looks like a 4:3 now that i moves it to my computer.
    Also, i thought these cameras were supposed to be good. This picture looks like crap. It looks so low res... I'm hating apple so far...

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    If the issue persists, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

  • Can you change the export resolution for photos published to Facebook?

    Hi,
    I noticed when I published photos to Facebook, it uploads the photos as high resolution 2048 pixel wide photos (when you download from Facebook).  Is there anyway to reduce the resolution other than exporting a lower resolution version of the image to my hard drive then uploading to Facebook?
    Thanks
    Jason

    I believe Aperture is automatically resizing the uploads for Facebook to stay within specs, going through an optimization procedure.  That procedure may be more focused on file size via the compression setting, so the number of pixels may not be as altered as you may expect or desire.  I don't know any control that you can exercise via the Share command.
