Alias desktop folder icon lower resolution than original

When I create an alias to a desktop folder its icon is of lower resolution than original.
Even when I copy and paste from the respective get infos I get the same result. Any ideas?

Back up all data to at least two different storage devices, if you haven't already done so. The backups can be made with Time Machine or with a mirroring tool such as "Carbon Copy Cloner." Preferably both.
Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and erase the startup volume with the default options. This operation will destroy all data on the volume, so you had be better be sure of your backups. Quit Disk Utility and install OS X. When you reboot, you'll be prompted to go through the initial setup process. That’s when you transfer the data from one of your backups.
Transfer only "Users" and "Settings" – not "Applications" or "Other files." Don't transfer the Guest account, if it was enabled on the old system.
Reinstall your third-party software cautiously. Self-contained applications that install into the Applications folder by drag-and-drop or download from the App Store are safe. Anything that comes packaged as an installer or that prompts for an administrator password is suspect, and you must test thoroughly after reinstalling each such item to make sure you haven't restored the problem.

  • Allow processing of Virtual Copies at lower resolutions than original RAW

    At times an original image is slightly soft, but looks just fine when processed at a lower resolution. In ACR the ability to do the RAW processing itself with a preview of the image rendered at a lower resolution than the original is most helpful in such situations. It would be fabulous if in LR it was possible to create a VC of a file that was set to a lower resolution than the original, e.g. 5Mpx from an 8.2MPx RAW image, with all processing and previews of that Virtual Copy then being displayed with a 100% zoom being the 5MPx image. Currently you have to guess what a downsized export might look like, or take it into Photoshop, for what might be a simple operation.

    This seems to be a very frequently requested feature, and fo rus it would certainly be the #1 missing functionality.
    We use Lightroom to work on large batches of event/wedding photographs, all taken in RAW format.
    1. With current 'absolute' presets, there's no telling what it will do to any given photograph: a "antique photograph" preset will do wildly different thing to a photograph under tungsten, as to a photograph under sunlight or fluorescent or flash.
    2. Similarly, our workflow is interrupted: instead of being able to colour/exposure correct all images and then apply a preset to this _fixed_, 'normalized' version, for consistency of look; we have to play with images one by one, or go to workarounds like export/import: all of which defeat the point of Lightroom as a workflow-enhancing app.

  • Since syncing with iCloud all my photos in my photo app are much lower resolution than they were before. Can anyone explain what happened an how I might get back my high resolution photos?

    Since syncing with iCloud all my photos in my photo app are much lower resolution than they were before. Can anyone explain what happened an how I might get back my high resolution photos?

    Thanks again.
    Unfortunately I don't have iPhoto (running Windows).
    I did, however, figure out a work-around.
    I created an empty directory on my computer, and told iTunes to "Sync Photos from..." that empty directory. This deleted all the photos from the iPod (go figure).
    I then set the "Sync Photos from..." dropdown back to directory that actually contained all my photos, and sync'd again.
    And, yes, they all loaded onto the iPod at their better, higher resolution.
    Thanks for all your help. Photos (and wallpaper) are perfect, again

  • Why does Photoshop Elements 11 open a file in a lower resolution than I saved it in?

    Why does Photoshop Elements 11 open files in a lower resolution than I saved them?

    The only meaningful figures for 'resolution' with a digital image are the pixel dimensions. They are not changed by saving.
    The ppi (pixel per inch) information is not a property of the image, just like the dimensions of your prints : it's your choice when you want do display or print your images. The detail level of your image is dependent on the pixel size.

  • Why are my desktop folder icons missing?

    why are my desktop folder icons missing?

    Yes I have tried a restart, a shut down and restart, a coling off period for 5 minutes anda restart, an examination of view options and I still get nothing, no destop folders icons, just the title of the folder.  The folders without icons will open and their contents are displayed, just not the icons.  The only icons I see are the hard drives, I have 4 in my old mac pro.  So what gives?

  • Library Preview displays at lower resolution than Develop Preview

    I recently bought a Nikon D7100.
    I took some test shots and imported the images to Lightroom 4.4, then generated 1:1 previews for all the images.
    Previews zoomed to 1:1 in Library Mode are noticeably soft.  The image below is a screen shot of the Library preview:
    Moving to Develop View produces a higher-resolution 1:1 preview.  The image below is a screen shot of the Develop preview:
    Look at the bricks and window screens to see the difference.
    This difference occurs immediately after import (with a User Preset applied during import).  Once any Develop work is done, the Library preview updates and displays at full resolution.
    This problem makes doing initial editing/selection of images time consuming, because I can't determine the sharpness/quality of imported images until I've done some kind of Develop adjustment on each image.
    If anyone has a circumvention or solution to this problem I will appreciate receiving it.
    Thanks,

    You said "then generated 1:1 previews for all the images," so I assume you manually selected Library> Previews> Render 1:1 Previews from inside the Libray module. Selecting 'Render Previews : 1:1' in the LR Import module under 'File Handling' will automatically render the previews on import.
    There are two possibilites why you are seeing low-res 1:1 Library previews:
    1) The Previews were still being created in the background after import, and you are trying to edit images that  do not yet have a 1:1 preview.
    2) You inadvertently cancelled the 1:1 preview rendering process by a) closing the progress bar in the upper lefthand, or b) closing LR before completion of 1:1 Preview Rendering.
    I would NOT reccomend discarding 1:1 Previews since that will create the very situation you are complaing about in this post. If you are low on hard drive free space then this recommendation would be helpful.

  • ICON: Low Resolution

    Hi there,
    our Podcast
    http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=334683542
    has been published today.I think - the Icon has been generated out of the Podcast, the quality is bad. Where can we add the new 300x300px icon to our iTunes Side?
    Thanks so much for support
    Andreas

    The icon which appears on the Store page (the 'podcast image') is referenced in the feed by the 'itunes:image' tag which carried the URL for the image. If you are writing the feed yourself then that is where you would change the URL; if you are using a program or online service to make your podcast you will need to check in their Help how to do this.
    If you change the image you should give it a new filename and change the URL in the feed. The Store caches the image and it may take some days to change there.
    Apple recommend 600x600 for the image, though I've used 300x300 and it's fine - it gets downscaled by the Store anyway.

  • The desktop folder icons on my 2011 IMac do no longer respond. Doe anyone have an idea what could be wrong?

    none of the aliases on my desktop of my Imac runninh OS 10.6.8 can be opened any more. However, I can start the aplications in my doc. Does anyone have any suggestions what could be wrong?
    Thanks,

    If repairing permissions and restarting the comp does not work, make new aliases.

    I don't know what else to say

    That can happen if you zoom Yahoo mail websites.<br />
    Yahoo uses a script to check the screen dimensions and zooming a page affects the window and screen width and height settings.

  • Restore Desktop Icons after Resolution Change

    I often give talks using a projector. The projector has a lower resolution than my display. This causes my desktop icons to pile up in a jumble. Worse, when I return to the standard resolution after the talk, my desktop is still in a mess!
    I seem to recall earlier versions of Tiger/Leopard could remember the locations of the icons and restore them after switching back to the native resolution.
    Is there a solution for this? Possibly I have a preference set wrong so that the restore does not take place?
    Sorry if this is already answered but I didn't see it come up searching the forums.

    I never tried it, but if you have one Space for your presentations and another for your usual work, will the unseen desktop still get the icons "mangled?" I would think the resolution change would only apply to the Space that you are using. Maybe not.
    Consider this, then - create another user just for the presentations. My rhetoric question would be, would the icons of the original user still get "mangled" if you used the new account for the presentations?
    If neither of these solutions work, then the alternative terminal solution would work. You would simple restore the original .DS_Store file. You could write a simple script to do that.
    I'll follow your ideas shortly, thanks .. and they make a lot of sense.
    BTW: are you a Nero Wolfe fan?
    Yes
    I've got them all, I think, been reading them for over 20 years, and re-read them every couple of years or so.
    I have the entire corpus, the A&E shows, including widescreen double-length European versions and all the OTR shows. Guess that makes me a fanatic
    I also look for the "Pastiches" .. I've got 6 of Goldsborough's but haven't found others.
    Nero Pastiches have not interested me, but I have many of those of Holmes' plus the Sacred Canon, the Brett TV series, almost every movie, the Russian series, OTR, etc.
    Believe it or not, I learned a great deal of computer diagnosis from these stories. Their value greatly transcends their genre. You get to look past the obvious.

  • Low resolution photos from Revel

    Hi,
    I hope this is the correct forum and that this question has not already been delt. I have search but dont find any solution.
    I have decided to stop using dropbox "camera upload" and switch to Adobe Revel.
    I seams to work great except for the fact that the photo inside Photoshop elements is a lower resolution than the original taken on my iPhone. This kind of defeats the point to me! Dropbox uploaded the full resolution pic to my PC.
    Can anyone tell me if there is a way to get the original quality version on my PC using Revel. I am not interested in the "social media" side of it it.
    My primary use for Revel is to get my FULL / ORIGINAL image inside Photoshop elements. Dropbox, Onedrice and Googledrive do a great job but at the end of the day I still need to import the pictures. Revel just seems cleaner if I can get it to work.
    BTW, if I download a photo via the Revel website it is the original so my iPhone is updoading as it should.
    Any help will be appreciated
    Kind Regards
    Jason

    Hi Jon,
    Thank so much for your reply. That portion I comfortable with, but was thinking I could take photos with my mobile phone and have them sync to a folder on my PC as my originals. I dont want to download photo's from my phone. It does work as desired exept the fact that the photos resolution is lower on the PC than the "originals" on the Revel website.
    If I right click on the photo in PE and select "download original from revel" it works, but sort of defeats it purpose in my case.
    It seems like Photoshop is not importing the pic at the original resolution. ie to me I would expect a "import original resolution" inside photoshop.
    I am using PE12.
    I dont like to compare PE revel to apple iCloud, but this is how their software works. If I take a photo on my iPhone its on my mac in full res within minutes to do with as I please. This is what I was thinking Revel could do for me and more. Dropbox, Onedrive and Googledrive all support this, but then I have to import it into PE.
    Once again. Thanks for taking the time to reply. Much appreciated!!
    Kind Regards
    Jason

  • Having Problems with Low Resolution on Thinkpad Twist

    I notice lately that images do not appear as sharp or as deeply colored as they once were.  Text looks fine but even looking at high-res images, it's like I'm looking at them with a CGA monitor - I don't see the same color depth and the image appears lower resolution than it actually is.  The same pictures look sharp on another computer/monitor.  Could this be a display setting?  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the display driver to no avail.
    I also notice that when I go from screen to screen, sometimes I get a "ghost" of the previous image.  This is not monitor burn-in because the ghosted image goes away when I reboot.

    We can't tell from what you've said whether this happens only in your browser. If so, which one and what version? And what happens in other browsers?

  • Store models - low resolution displays

    Has anybody else noticed how at certain retailers (I was at CompUSA) the 14" iBooks seem to be set to a lower resolution than normal. I thought I was seeing things, but I took my own iBook out of my backpack, and the text overall was smaller and sharper. Makes you wonder if they are trying to push people to the PowerBook by making the iBook look as crummy as possible? (Not too hard since they're almost always dirty and smudgy.)

    I believe you can change that in System Preferences by changing the resolution. The Powerbook has better resolution then the iBook I would guess because a lot of professionals use it. Many professionals use it for complex editing of photos and videos, as well as other things. Another thing is, if you can't see the font real well (I can't), go to Universal Access. From there you can turn on magnification or zoom (can't remember the specific name) which will zoom in on the text making it bigger.
    I hope that helps,
    Jon

  • 9.2 using low-resolution artwork

    I haven't upgraded to 9.2 yet, but have been reading the forums here (and elsewhere). I see that 9.2 now uses thumbnails for the album art, which is of a lower resolution than what is actually embedded into the file. This really concerns me, as the artwork is very important to me. I've spent forever getting and creating high-res art for all my music, and don't want to see low-res thumbnails.
    I've read these are used in place of the grid view, and the "artwork" column (these are usually viewed rather small, so these may not matter as much). But can anyone tell me if 9.2 uses the lower quality pic for the main artwork window as well??
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the reply! I appreciate it. Still undecided if I should update to 9.2 or not.
    All in all, I am happy with the direction it went in for album artwork processing. The speed at which you can browse in those modes now is significantly faster, and as a result I am actually using those views more now. There are some issues here and there. Some people have reported sync issues with iPod (my initial sync with 9.2 took a while, but the subsequent one was normal), long backup times with their iPhones, and there is a slight bug with the artwork viewer (you cant lock it on "now playing". If you have Time Machine or something of that sort and can easily revert back to 9.1.1 if you dont like it, then I'd say go for it. Likewise if you are willing to deal with some bugs here and there and want the improved performance, I would say upgrade. They will probably release a new update soon anyway.
    However, if you're afraid of running into the technical problems, you should be fine with sticking with 9.1.1 until an updated version of 9.2 gets released. Unless that is of course you need 9.2 for iOS/iPhone 4.
    I downloaded 9.2 on the first day, and haven't had any real problems with it and don't regret the upgrade at all. In fact Im loving the improved performance. I know many people here are freaking out about the problems with it, but remember this is a support forum and by default there is going to be a bias of issues with iTunes as opposed to the successes.

  • Application Folder Icon reverts to original Icon after Restart/Logout...

    My custom icon for the applications folder in the Finder window sidebar reverts back to the original icon (pencil, ruler, paintbrush) after I restart/logout. In the "Get Info" pane of the applcation folder it shows the custom icon, but the icon in the sidebar displays the original! I have changed all my other icons in the sidebar and they have retained their custom icons, but Applications is the only one being stubborn.
    I have searched the forums, and found an article where it says to log in as root user and then change it, but i did that and the icon still went bact to the original.
    If anyone knows how to change it for good please help me.
    Thanks.

    The icns file you want is here:
    "/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources/ToolbarAppsFol derIcon.icns"
    You'll need to do a Show Package Contents on CoreTypes.bundle to get there. Drag the icns file to your desktop--it will copy rather than move. You'll discover that it is much smaller than normal icons: only 32x32 pixels.
    You'll need a program to allow you to create icns files. Iconographer is nice. I believe it has a free trial period.
    Create your own icns icon and save it with the same name as the original.
    Next you need to use Terminal. You'll rename the original with a mv command, then do a sudo copy of your version into the above Resources folder.
    Still want to try?
