Why are my photos blurry when I upload them into a collage (PSE)?

This never happened with my old camera.....this is the first time I tried it using pics I had taken on my new Nikon.
Any ideas how to upload clear pics?

(not sure how this forum will notify me of any answers-so could those who answer-please e-mail me at:  [email protected]  Thanks.)

The screenshot would have made a comparison possible if it showed the image both in the browser and in Photoshop.
Again:
What Color Space are the images in?
Do you embedd the ICC Profile when saving?

  • Why are still photos blurry when I play movie?

    I am making a video slideshow using Adobe Premiere Elements 9. Most of the video is made up still photos. When I playback the video the still photos are blurry. What should I do to prevent this? Thanks!

    I read your article Bill, and that just seems like a massive amount of work for the average individual who wants to put together a movie. Is all of that really necessary?
    With PS, or PSE, and Scaling Actions, one can do batch processing of entire folders of images in moments. That linked article gives setup tips for doing batch scaling very easily, and the Action, plus Automate to Batch, will work on entire folders. My workstation will automatically process ~ 500 4000x3000 pixel images to 720x480 in about 2 mins.
    There are two benefits when Scaling stills in an image processing program, prior to Import into an NLE (Non Linear Editor) program:
    The processing overhead is greatly reduced
    The quality is greatly improved, as the Scaling algorithms in an image processing program, are much better *
    If one wants to let the NLE program do the processing, and one has many large images (especially at still camera resolutions), then they WILL need a very powerful computer.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    * PrPro, as of CS5, has improved the quality of Scaling, but the overhead issue still exists.

  • Why are the photos rotated when transfered from iPhone to PC??

    I cant figure out why my photos, taken with my iPhone, come out rotated when I transfer them to my PC. Its not the biggest deal in the world, but it is really getting to me... Just one of those things i cant figure out how to fix... Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    A really easy fix in Windows XP, which I think will work fine in Vista if you can get to the right place. Open File Manager (my computer) and go to the folder with the photos, choose the thumbnail view, select and right click on photo files that are rotated sideways, you will see a rotate option on the right click menu - select it and the photos will rotate & sync correctly next time with a slight letterbox effect on your iphone. You may want to copy the folder first as the rotated photos will be clipped if you view them full screen on the PC.

  • Why are my photos desaturated when I export out of Lightroom 5 and editing with VSCO Film filters?

    I have been excited working with VSCO Film presets, however when I apply them and go to export out of Lightroom 5 on my Windows 8 computer, my images are previewing very desaturated and muted in color. Some images are below. I thought it was a Color SPace issue, but when exported as sRGB as well as in its original space of Adobe RGB1998 it is still desaturated. Any help?? In Lightroom the colors are right, but my preview application is different.
    Thank you!

    Hi ssprengel,
    Here's some clarification:
    Here's a screenshot of my raw image in lightroom without any presets:
    Here is a screenshot of my raw image with the presets (the way I want it to look upon export):
    Here is a of the jpeg exported out of LR:
    (on my screen the jpg looks like what it should when I attach it, but I know once I post this it will not look like it. That's something I noticed when I posted my question previously)
    I took you suggestion and re-imported the sRGB exported JPEG and it looks like how it is supposed to be with the correct saturation. Here's a screenshot of the jpeg reimported.
    Here is a screenshot comparing the LR5 preview to the Photos preview on Windows 8. The LR5 (left) is more saturated, the correct way I want it:
    I cannot use Windows Photo Viewer because this is how my photos look like in it:
    Hope this all makes sense! Thank you so much in advance!

  • I CANT KEEP MY PHOTOS ROTATED WHEN I UPLOAD THEM

    OK SO WHEN I ROTATE PHOTOS IN A FOLDER ON MY DESKTOP, THEY APPEAR THAT THEY HAVE BEEN SAVED IN THE CORRECT POSITION, HOWEVER WHEN I GO TO UPLOAD THEM TO EBAY OR BLOGGER ETC, THEY GO BACK TO THEIR ORIGINAL FORM. HOW DO I SAVE THE WAY THAT I WANT A PHOTO ORIENTED SO THAT I CAN EASILY UPLOAD IT TO EBAY. IM DEALING WITH 100 OR SO PICTURES A DAY AND WANT TO DO IT FAST LIKE ON MY PC.

    Capital letters mean that you're shouting by the way.
    You'll need a program to edit your photos in. I assume you've been using the 'rotate' function with Preview ...however this doesn't save the rotated image - that rotate function is only for viewing purposes. Try this site, it provides a lot of free and shareware programs to do what you wish...

  • Why are some photos blurry on iweb?

    When I drop in crisp clear photos, they instantly look blurry, especially when I use the edges to reduce or enlarge the photo - even the smallest amount.
    I am using jpegs with a standard res of 640x480 - I have not encountered any problems in other applications when dropping in photos or making minor adjustments in the image size (through dragging) - why here? I am pulling the photos from ones I already have stored on my idisc (since they are already a smaller file size from the originals in my iphoto library).
    Anyone have any suggestions? I would like my web site to look as polished and professional as possible and blurry photos isn't helping that goal.
    Thanks,
    Bob

    I am getting blurry pictures too. I can't understand why. I edited the images in Photoshop, saved them as jpg's about 5X6 inches at 100 dpi, imported to iPhoto, dragged the images to my pages. Resulting images are not clear. Even after using the adjustment tool, some do not get sharp. I have tried sizing images to various sizes and resolutions without success. I have been customizing pages. Someone at Apple said that it must have something to do with the converter. I don't know. I just know that my originals are tack sharp and my pictures on iWeb leave a lot to be desired. Anyone have a cure for this? I am on an eMac running OSX 10.3.9. My work is published in B&W magazine this month and my web site has to be clear. See my web site for examples. http://www.RussAndMarciaMartin.com Some look good while others do not. If you look around, you will find blurry ones. I don't know why some are clear and others aren't.

  • Why are my photos smaller when I access the camera from the lock screen?

    I have an iPhone 4s using IOS 5 and I have noticed that when I access my iPhone camera from the lock screen (by double clicking the home button) that the photos I take are only 640 x 480 pixels, but when I unlock the phone and click the Camera icon the photos 3264 x 2448 pixels.  I would pefer to always shoot the larger sized photos.  Is there a way to change this?

    Are you travelling towards the object you are photographing at a spectacular speed?  If so, you may be experiencing the doppler effect!

  • Why are these photos blurry?

    I have a Canon Rebel T3i. I have taken a number of group photos w/tripod, w/o tripod, w/flash, w/o flash, various apertures, many on automatic mode. All on autofocus. All of them come out fuzzy, especially the people on the ends. The attached might look ok small on this web page, but if you download it and look at it 100% you will see what I mean. I have two T3i cameras and they both yield the same results. I would probably get a better photo with a phone. Any ideas? 

    Opanda EXIF software tells me that your sample shot was done with T3i and 18-135mm II lens at ISO 400, 1/60 shutter speed, f4 aperture with the lens zoomed to its widest 18mm and the camera doing all the exposure settings in Program mode. Also, the flash fired. All the recommendations about focusing technique are well and good. I'd also use a single AF point, manually selected. Probably the center one. Also I'd use One Shot as the most accurate of the viewfinder-based AF focusing modes. Alternatively, Live View focus could have been used, which is slower but can be even more accurate. It also can help with manual focus, if you do that instead, because you can magnify the Live View image up to 10X on most cameras that have it. In this case, I'd take several shots, refocusing each one. The reason is the lighting, which appears to be common fluorescent, which is notorious for "messing with" focus and metering accuracy. The reason is that fluorescent lamps cycle on and off at a high rate... 120 Hz in the US, 100 Hz in some othre parts of the world. This is so fast the human eye doesn't notice. But our cameras can and do see it... and can be fooled by it. However I think the main problem is that your are using an f4 aperture. Lenses are typically not at their best and sharpest at or very near their largest aperture. Stop down to f5.6 or f8 and I think you'll see a lot of improvement. To do so, you'll have to get out of Program mode and use Av or aperture value exposure mode instead. This still gives you the same auto exposure and flash performance, but will allow you to select the aperture, after which the camera will automatically set the appropriate shutter speed. You may need to set a higher ISO to get adequate shutter speed. Stopping the lens down also would give you more depth of field to work with. That can be very important because another concern is "field curvature". When your subjects are in a straight line and you focus on the one in the very middle, chances are that natural lens field curvature effects toward the edges will cause subjects there to be softer. This is more pronounced the wider angle the lens is... Ideally you would instead line up the people in a slight arc, where the ones on either end are a little closer to you. However, you'd be guessing or basing your posing on experience... because it's hard to see in the viewfinder. An easier solution is stopping down to increase depth of field, which will to some extend offset the field curvature problem. Using a wide angle lens present other possible problems, though. One is that there is inevitable optical distortions with wide lenses, one of which causes subjects nearer the edges to be exaggerated and look larger than they are. You can see some of this occuring in the ceiling light panels (which also show "perspective" distortion). But I'd also bet that the ladies at either end of the row don't have that large an arm, as the one nearest the edge of the image appears in the photo. This is called "anamorphic" distortion and is an optical effect that's unavoidable with wide angle lenses. It's one reason most portraiture is done with standard to short telephotos, instead. The best solution is to back up farther and zoom to the 30mm or 50mm range... i.e. to avoid using wide angles for group shots like this. But to do so will require adequate working space and a stronger flash. Which brings us to yet another consideration.... when shooting a Canon camera and flash in any of the auto-exposure modes, the camera will set exposure according to the ambient light, and then the flash will be fired as FILL.... about 1-2/3 stops underexposure automatically. If you want the flash to be the main or primary light source, you need to set the camera to M or Manual mode. So long as the flash is set to ETTL, the camera then will ignore ambient light for exposure calculations and will fire the flash as strongly as needed for illumination... In other words, you still get auto-exposure even though the camera is set to M. However, now it is being done with FULL flash. Only problem is, if you are using the camera's builit in flash, it may not have enough power for this wide a shot at this distance. Built-in flashes are notoriously wimpy. If using an external 430EX or 580EX or similar flash, you would have ample light for the purpose, as well as better/more even wide angle coverage (using the flash's built in wide angle diffusion panel.) ***********

  • Why are my images blurry when I save my doc as a pdf?

    I have Microsoft Word 2007. I am trying to save a document with a lot of images to a pdf but after I save it as a pdf...all my images are blurry? I have tried saving the images as a TIF (using Snagit) instead of a JPEG because I thought the problem was with the image. But perhaps it is with my Adobe Reader. I had a friend try fixing the pdf file from her computer and her images come out great while mine are still blurry.

    Hello there,
    Thanks for posting. Did you convert the file to PDF using Acrobat.com (www.acrobat.com)? If not, you may want to give it a try. That being said, it sounds as though it could also be a settings issue in Adobe Reader; unfortunately, if that's the case, I won't be able to offer much assistance. Perhaps this thread in the Adobe Acrobat forum will be of help:

    It may not be of specific help, but it may put you on the right path. Please let me know if you need additional help or information and I will do my best to elaborate.

  • Photos get blurry when I bring them into iMovie.

    When ever I bring any of my photos (full res. from my canon 5D 12 mega pixel or high res neg scans) into iMovie they look horrible. They just get blurry.
    Whats the deal. I know the images or tac sharp. If I tether my camera to my TV and view them, they look great. Put them in imovie 2, 4, or 5...they look bad. whats the deal?

    delongt, there are tons of topics here discussing image quality in all versions of iMovie. Try using the forum's search function to search for words like "blurry", "jaggies", etc. You'll find lots of useful information, including how to avoid a bug or two that affects the quality of the DVD you burn.
    It's important to realize that iMovie NEVER shows you all the image quality that's actually there. (iMovie is a video editor, not a video player.) So don't judge the quality by what you see in iMovie.
    That said, ALL images imported to iMovie are converted to Digital Video. They are no longer high-res images, so they won''t look as good as the originals. They are considerably better than what you see displayed in iMovie, however.
    The important consideration is not how they appear in iMovie, but how they appear on a TV, playing the DVD you burn of the project. Everything else you can pretty much ignore.

  • Why are my videos upsidedown when i download them to my pc

    i am using windows 7 and using windows media as the default program to save the videos and photos. i can view them fine on the iphone but i cant rotate them once they are saved to the pc. any thoughts?

    When you shoot the video on your iPhone, are you holding it with the volume buttons in the top right-hand corner, landscape?
    You might want to use QuickTime to view your videos, as it's an Apple product and is likely to work better with the default codec used for the videos

  • Why are EPS files preferred when dropping a logo into a publication?

    I need to send a logo to several printers who will be dropping it into publications that they produce for my client.  Most of the printers have requested EPS files.  Can someone explain why EPS seems to be the preferred file format in this situation?  What is the advantage over PDF?  Thanks.

    I agree with Mylenium.  I was just about to post the fact that there are many types of PDF readers and authoring/editing packages out there, much more than for EPS.  You won't find an EPS viewer on an Android phone as quickly as you would find the PDF viewer that comes preinstalled on many of them with Quick Office or DataViz's Office package.  So the benefit is that people who are on the go could pre-approve your logo and pass it on to whomever is doing the final graphics, if the workflow requires a middle-man.  I am not a professional but have noticed the improvements to certain technologies when it comes to PDF.  I worked in a copy & print service and we always requested PDF's to work with or to copy from, not EPS.  If it had to be raster then we required 300dpi JPG's or TIF's.  It wasn't a premier service but it was good enough to get lots of work done and we never worked with EPS.
    One thing I will say for people working in 3D, many packages now accept AI files (as opposed to other vector formats such as Illustrator PDF, CDR, Corel PDF or whatever else) but it wasn't until recently that one of the major special effects packages accepted AI format--it was EPS or DXF (coming out of AutoCad) if you wanted 2D vector data into your 3D environment to do further modeling with.

  • Why are my pictures green after itunes uploaded them to the iPhone5 and iPad 3?

    Hello all,
    Thank you for your time as i have ran into a strange problem with iTunes 10.7.0.21. Photos being synchronized to my iPhone 5 and iPad 3 are becoming green when iTunes is used to synchronize the folders. The system used is a Windows 7 X64 Sp1 with iTune 10.7.0.21. Previously i used a iPod (second generation) which is now being replaced by something more advanced. Once i synchronized the photos they all showed greenish whereas i have reached out to apple care without success in resolving the problem.
    To fix the problem the following troubleshooting steps were performed:
    1. Restore the iPhone 5 using iTunes 10.7.0.21 to it's defaults and resynchronize the photo library ( No Change - still green )
    2. Remove the iPod Photo Cache from the disk and started resynchronization  ( No Change - still green )
    3. Remove the iPod Photo Cache from the disk and Restore the iPhone 5 using iTunes 10.7.0.21 to it's defaults and resynchronize the photo library ( No Change - still green )
    4. Reinstalled windows 7 and iTunes 10.7.0.21, Remove the iPod Photo Cache from the disk and Restore the iPhone 5 using iTunes 10.7.0.21 to it's defaults and resynchronize the photo library ( No Change - still green )
    I have ran out of options and would like to learn if more people have the same problem; and how they resolved the problem if possible?!
    The following image is the image that is being synchronized to my iPhone:
    This is the original photo:
    Best regards,
    Martin Meuwese

    I think iPhoto for iOS is designed to optimize photos for use on sharing sites like Facebook and photobucket. Supposedly sharing the photos to iTunes will allow you to copy them over to your computer at full size. She then to iTunes after editing them and before doing anything else with them.
    The iPad optimizes photos when they are imported via the sync process. This downsizes them before they even get to iPhoto for you to edit them. Importing the photos directly from the camera using a Camera Connection Kit keeps them at their original size. iPhoto will work on photos up to 20 mp.

  • Why are my ratings missing when I import files into Lightroom?

    Files that I have previously rated with stars in Bridge appear in my Lightroom catalog after DNG conversion without them. I am having to select all the images and use the 'Update DNG Preview and Metadata' command after ever import. Interestingly, this did not used to occur. What preference do I need to reset?
    Bridge CS3 and Lightroom 1.3 on a Mac

    I'm still not sure I understand.  When you say the develop module changes every picture, do you mean adjustments get applied?  In LR4, the "Basic" panel (top right in Develop module) all the sliders are zero (centred) unless adjustments have been applied.  If they're not centred, then maybe an auto adjustment has been applied?  See Jim's post above. 
    Also, in Edit menu, Settings, Presets tab, make sure "Apply auto tone adjustments" is NOT checked.
    If you want the pictures to look the way the camera jpegs look, then apply a "Camera..." profile.  In Develop module, bottom right, "Camera Calibration" panel, there's a drop-down adjustment "Profile:".  The default is probably "Adobe Standard".  A better match for the Canon picture profiles is to choose "Camera standard", "Camera neutral" etc.  These match closely the equivalent profiles in Canon cameras (Standard, Neutral etc). 
    Lightroom can't read what was set in the camera, but you have to apply this in Lightroom.  However you can automate it by creating develop presets (see the help).  You can apply presets when you import images. When you import, there's a "Apply During Import" panel to do this. 

  • Why does Calendar delete times when I type them into an event?

    New Calendar is driving me nuts.
    I use Month View, and every time I type in a time with a new event, Calendar deletes the time I have typed and just leaves the event. I then have to type the time in again before it will show it.
    SO annoying. I just want it to store what I type like it did in Snow Leopard.
    Been through settings, can't see how to fix this or disable auto-time or whatever it is doing (which I then cannot see).
    Thanks
