3D layers look really bad in CC 2014?

I went to open some of my CS6 Photoshop files that had 3D layers, in Photoshop CC 2014, and they looked okay when it first loaded, but as soon as I touched it they looked awful.
Also, not sure what this overlay is when you view the texture... assuming it's the texture polys... is there a way to hide this?
Any thoughts anyone has on this will be appreciated.

Why do the photos in my first InDesign project look really bad?

Why do the photos in my first InDesign project look really bad? Noticed as I "placed" them, some PDFs or JPEGs (not photos, but PDFs converted to JPEG) looked pretty distorted. Went ahead with the 60+ page project, converted to PDF, sent to client. He converted to a flipbook to proof and really didn't like the photos. Here's the irony. Upgraded to InDesign for this client. Was using Publisher as a standby until I could afford InDesign. Signed up with the Creative Cloud because job was overwhelming Publisher.
I started the job without a whole lot of knowledge (or patience for the tutorials) and figured I just wing it (and get InDesign for Dummies). Am thinking somethingw as screwed up in the initial setting up of the job. So how do I figure out if this is the issue and can I fix it without redoing all 60+ pages. If anybody has an answer, please let me know.

Ok, first image on your indesign page or any other program for that matter are still images, they are no longer pdf's, jpg's, psd's, etc. Once they load into a program, the file format is no longer relevant until you save again. Onl;y on your drive is the format relavent.
Second, if you can help it, never use jpg's until you are completely done and will be sharing a jpg. Jpg's are a lossy format are are not the best for preserving quality on your drive. Each time you open a jpg, and save a jpg more data is lost, as that is how that format compresses the data, by throwing it way for ever.
Third, the problem may not even be with you, it could happen when that person created a flipbook. That is an unknown varible, one which could make you look bad when it had nothing to do with you.
Fourth, Pay attention to the pixel dimentions of your images, the higher those values are the better the quality. Scaling can and probably will reduce that quality. If you can, it is better to hide parts of the image by cropping with a frame than it is to scale the image. you can scale, but pay attention to it.
I will stop there for now, as some of what I wrote is based on assumtions. That normally does not work out too well.

Screen looks really bad

Hi,
no Idea what I did wrong but since june my screen ( samsung 913n) looks really bad a bootup. First it is fine but just when the desktop is loaded it looks like if it only has 3-4 collors left. I can 'fix' it by taking out the cable and plug it in the other port of the video card. If I create another account I have no issues. Can someone tell me where to fix this account related software issue ?
Tried all updates & several cache cleaning programs.
Getting tired of changing the port all the time.\
Thanks in advance for any tips !
Tomas

Thanks Niel,
This didn't help, everything is ok there.
I've must installed something wrong that caused this problem
I've removed many programs that I had installed around the problem date, I think I will just start using a new acount.

Exporting images looks really bad!

Forum,
I am exporting images for a slideshow to make in DVD Studio Pro for my final outputted project.
The problem is that the images look really choppy and very bad. They look interlaced.
I'm working with NTSC DV. Is this normal?
Would it help is I made a Freeze Frame in FCP, then exported it as an image?
System:
OS X 10.4.5
FCP 5.0.4
QT 7.0.4
Thanks

hi fcp - I take them straight off the tl and go into photoshop with them to tidy them up. Use the deinterlace filter in ps.

Why does it look really bad quality when i plug my 13in macbook pro to my 42in samsung tv?

i bought this rocketfish hdmi cable to plug my 13in mac pro to my samsung plasma tv so i can watch netflix and youtube..and for some reason the picture quality is really bad. everyone says it looks great in theirs but why not mine? i put it at the highest resolution which is 1080i. Can i get any help??

it should be 1080p unless your's is only i
netflix and youtube need to have the best picture turned on for it to look good. Some are in 1080p but other only max out at 240p.
if you are in mirror mode, you are unable to change the screen size to the tv independently of the mbp.
What you should try to do is see if you have mirror mode turned on in system preferences> display>arrangement.

Pdf imported into InDeisng looks really bad when printed

It´s completly destroyed It. It looks all blocky. Please view it here, as I am crap at explaining. The original document was scanned from a Sharp MXC-311. When scanned from a different (Sharp MXC-5001) machine it looks fine. I think that it is something wrong with the way InDesign handles pdf, any ideas that might help?

You have to realise that a scanned page is just an image. Just because you scan it to a PDF format it doesn't mean that it's a good quality PDF.
All you are doing is scanning an image and then it is wrapped in PDF code to be viewable in Acrobat.
You would have to scan the document at a given resolution to get the right print quality.
Was this a preprinted piece, like a magazine or book? Do you need to descreen the image?

Slowmo work really bad in fcpX 1080i.. i need help!!!!

Change your project settings to progressive by clicking the wrench icon with the project selected in the project library. Then apply the retiming.

After compressor, video looks very bad

I exported my Final Cut Pro timeline using Compressor,
because I want to convert to mpeg2 to burn to DVD.
After it is exported and in compressor, I choose the
Apple setting for DVD Best Performance 90 min 4:3.
The total time of my timeline is about five minutes.
After it is converted, I play it back in the Simulator and it looks really bad, grainy, blurry, like a poor quality vhs video.
I don't know why this is.
Can someone help please.
thanks.

thanks for the reply.
I am judging my video by playing it back in the Viewer, when I add it to a track. I haven't burned the DVD yet.
Here's what I'm doing:
Export from FCP to Compressor (this is a single 5 min QT movie file, that I captured straight from my DV cam to FCP)
my presents in Compressor are: 1 pass CRB,
mpeg2 elementary, NTSC CCIR 601/DV, 29.97, frame controls: automatic, 4:3, Average data rate: 4.5, bottom first.
HOWEVER, I have also followed the same steps on another 5 min FCP project, this one consists of
multiple clips from several different sources, with effects, filters, much more complicated, and it looks great ... with the same settings as above.
Don't know what is the problem with the 5 min QT movie.
After compressor, it looks like bad vhs video.
Any ideas?

Photoshop is lagging really badly in my 13in Macbook Pro.

Photoshop is lagging really badly in my 13in Macbook Pro. Simple operations like selecting a tool, or just any click take up to 5min to complete. I looked in the force quit menu and it tells me that the program is not responding. I tried re-starting my laptop, even uninstalling the program. When I installed it again the problem got worse as when it loads the rainbow wheel shows up, not letting me do anything. Currently I'm on the trial version. Maybe the problem will fix itself if I buy a plan?

Not really. You have to look at things.
System requirements | Photoshop to start with. See how your Macbook measures up
Verify your disk and Repair Permissions with disk utility.
Be sure you are updated to 2014.2.2
Then see if there are bad fonts or third party plugins.

Firefox behaves REALLY badly at random times and I'm worried about it?

So here's what happens. This happens at random times, unexpectedly. I click on a new link, any link, and suddenly, Firefox blares up, automatically turns to private browsing, and goes to a bunch of random websites.
Then, it lands on ''www.xnxx.com'',(<sub>'''edit''', un-linked -J99</sub> ) which I have identified to be a pornography website. After that, it suddenly picks on a random porn video and crashes before the video plays.
This really worries me, because just before this first happened, I had done a quick scan with both Microsoft Security Essentials and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Pro, and there was absolutely NO problem.
Not only that, I had gone only to trusted websites.
I'm a high school sophomore, so this could turn out REALLY badly for me if someone sees this happening and thinks that I'm TRYING to watch that stuff.
I have already sent a crash report to Firefox and included the website that I crashed in, which is the porn website. I haven't sent any other details, though.
Could I be getting hacked? I don't think so, because this only happens with Firefox; Chrome, Opera, Maxthon, and IE don't have this problem.
I'm running Firefox 15.0.1 in Windows 7 x64 (why the crash report said Windows NT x86, I have no idea).
PLEASE help me fix this!

On looking at your System Details aside I note that you include a Crash ID.
That particular crash is probably related to use of Norton software. You may find that you can use the Norton security software without crashes if you disable the '''Norton Security Safe '''feature (Please confirm - or otherwise - that you are using that ). Note I am not suggesting you turn of the security software, just the utility/toolbar.

App for Windows 8 are really bad

The apps Microsoft made for Skype are really bad.
Any chance for a update so you have some chance of getting to things like call and chat and make it more clear who are online.
Out of a lot of bad apps for windows 8 this take the cake!!

Is there a reason "Elaine" (http://community.skype.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/88058) had to edit/moderate EVERY one of the posts here?
This thread started some time ago, so please correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like the word "sucks" was replaced with "are really bad" in the last 12 hours.
The only reason I bring this up is because this is censorship and let me tell you Elaine that it is NOT helping Microsoft/Skype's case here!
If something SUCKS it means it IS REALLY BAD. The word "sucks" is VERY well known throughout the english speaking world to mean this. Any moderation on the grounds that the moderation was done "In deference to international sensibilities" is ridiculous! This stinks of corporate censorship!
Rather than censor everyone's comments, how about you (the company) just fix the issues and let us know they are fixed OR if fixing them isn't going to happen in the near future at least let us know that you're working on it!
I have not seen even one official comment by Skype or Microsoft staff regarding this issue! NOT ONE! That implies to me that there is something seriously wrong and its almost definitley not going to be fixed any time soon!
Perhaps after all these years of being a happy customer it is time to start looking at moving away from Skype to another service...

Video quality in scope is really bad and dark

When I send my sequence from Final Cut Pro to Color, why does the video in the scope area come out so bad where I can barely see anything? Basically the video is nothing like the quality in final cut pro and the picture is very very dark.
When I see the tutorials online of the videos being sent to color from final cut, the quality is exactly the same and they don't do any adjustment.
Can someone please help me fix this? I work with AVCHD. Thanks!

Thanks George.
Now the quality is not "really" bad anymore, it is bad. ;-)
The quality got better, but still there is a difference between drawing shapes and cell borders. And the difference is causing problems with customers, who are demanding professional quality.
Here is a .jpg of the original Excel table. The drawing shape is the outer one, the cell borders are the lines beneath the data. Both line types are very delicat. This is how it should be.
And this is how it looks after a pdf-print with setting "high quality print" (2400 dpi).
The outer drawing shape is ok. The thin horizontal lines are twice as thick than before.
I know, it is about details. But those details make the difference between a professional and an amateur performance.
Do you have another idea, how to improve the pdf quality?
Thanks for your help so far, I appreciate it.

Convertion from pdf is really bad

Hi !
First, i m pretty ignorant in making pdf form...
I need to make an interractive form from a pdf file (25 pages) given by a friend.
he gave me 2 version of the file, a 'normal' pdf and one in form version (without any calcul or interractivity).
(but it lacks 3 fonts)
I tried to make it with Acrobat :
with both version of the file,
i c'ant find all the events i need in 'Action' tab when i try to add some code on a textBox like 'change', 'docReady'...
But the way i can make the form is really good. In fact i only need to add textbox, radiobutton... i don't want to edit text.
With LiveCycle i create a new document from the pdf and i select interractive. i need to change tooltip, visibility of objects..., wich can t be done with non interractive form (if i understand correctly ?).
my problem is that the converted file is really bad, the convertion log contains a lot of errors.
and it will take me a lot of time to correct, adapt it, plus, images are pixelised ( why ??).
My questons :
Can i make interractive form without converting the document ? like with Acrobat or non interractive forms ?
Is there a way to have a source file instead of the pdf ? wich contains images, fields... so there will be no convertion.
Thanx for reading

Thanks George.

Creating PSD file menu in photoshop...resolution is really bad!

I am creating a 16:9 menu in DVDspro 4 (PAL), I have created the flat PSD file in photoshop with elements from Illustrator that have been brought into Photoshop... at 72dpi RGB - PAL D1/DV Widescreen 720x576 preset.
Now the graphics look pretty pixelated and when I bring them into DVDSpro they are worse and stretched vertically cnat seem to get them to fit my Letterbox format or even look ok in the Simulator.
Now ive read in the DVDspro 4 Uses guide about square v Rectangular pixels,
but my graphics look so bad, can anyone help me? Should I be setting the resolution differently?

I do it like this (I know you can bring in layered Photoshop files into SP but this was the workflow i adopted when using sp 1.5 and it has always worked). This is for PAL work
For 4:3 screens I have a standard template at 768x576 which has the Action Safe and Title safe indicated on a switchable layer
For 16:9 screens I have the same only at 1024 x 576
These are at 72dpi (though this is basically irrelevant it's terminology if you are from a print background you'll understand - it also makes the files nice and small)
I then create any elements in Photoshop that I need. IF I am bringing in any logos etc from Illustrator (which appears to be where you are having the problems) I open the Illustrator EPS in Photoshop but at 300dpi. I then drag that 300dpi image into the menu file (which means it will be huge...) and resize from there. This may be why I don't get problems with Illustrator logos.
From there I save out the completed logo as a PICT file and the overlay layer(s) for creating the simple highlights in SP as separate PICT.
Newer versions on SP handle the resizing of your widescreen or 4;3 menus to the appropriate 720x576 sizing (though I have found with motion menus at widescreen it is best to save out as a 720x576 m2v, but that's another story)
I suspwect the main problem you are having is that you are either cutting and pasting your Illustrator file (which is therefore immediately 72dpi) or you are opening the file at 72dpi. By adopting the method I use hopefully this will allleviate the problems
Let me know
