All of a Sudden Getting Jagged Images in InDesign 5.5

Hello,
Saw an earlier thread with someone having touble with placed images that were jagged, but that thread didn't help.
I'm using InDesign 5.5. Just completed an ePub project with a placed .jpg from Photoshop and had no problems at all. Went to repeat the process with a second ePub project and suddenly I'm getting placed images that are jagged. The fonts especially look horrible. I haven't done anything different that I'm aware of with the second file. Same relative file size. I flatten the image in Photoshop and then save it as a .jpg. It looks perfect in Photoshop. No jaggies. Then place in InDesign and yuck. I have the display performance settings on High. Thinking it might just be a display problem, I export to ePub. Jaggies still there. Even tried with a TIFF. No difference. Just in case the one InDesign file had become corrupt, I opened a new file, layed it out and placed again, and it didn't help. Image still jagged.
What gives? Why would one file place perfectly and the other poorly?

When you say place at 100% how you mean? I didn't think it mattered since it was going to ePub anyway. I used Cmd + D, click on the page in ID, the image loads. I only resize it on the page  for my own benefit in layout.
I mean you don't want to scale the image in ID. The pixel dimensions of the saved image should be the same as the number of pixles required to place the image at the intended size and resolution. When you scale, you are either throwing away pixels or make up new ones by interpolation. Your epub is basically just a web page, and it doesn't care about the resolution of your image, just how many pixels are in it. Any non-vertical or non-horizontal line must be made by stair-stepping around pixel edges -- you can't use half a pixel -- and the more pixels you have available for that stair, the less jagged the appearance will be on screen.

  • When starting Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 I am all of a sudden getting a message that says "One or more of the scratch disks don't have read/ write access" and now the app won't operate - how do I fix this so I can use Final Cut Pro?

    Glad you found the answer.  But something seems wrong.  FCP should be able to assign the scratch disk to your startup drive.  It's not advisable, but it should be possible.  You might want to try and figure out what's going on before what ever's going on cause other problems.

  • Suddenly getting "unsupported image fomat" on RAW files that have been working perfectly.  How do I fix it and can I get those images back?

    I am suddenly getting "unsupported image file" for RAW images that have been working just fine.  How do I fix this and how do I get those images back?  Version 3.4.5, Canon 7D, everything up to date and no updates since files were loaded into Aperture.

    Would it help to buy a separate external hard drive for Aperture?
    That would be by far the best solution. And it would make the backup easier. You could include the "Aperture" drive in your Time Machine backup. With the original files stored on your Time Machine volume there is no way that Time Machine could back them up.
    Use Disk Utility to format the new drive "MacOS X Extended (Journaled)".
    Set the "Ignore Ownership on this Volume" flag. (select the drive in the Finder, use "File > Get Info ⌘I)
    In the "Get Info" panel your drive should look like this:

  • All of a sudden getting Undefined variable: attvalue in Squirrelmail

    I'm running squirrelmail 1.4.17, and it's been running fine for about 2 months now. This week all of a sudden, I'm getting the following error when trying to read e-mails:
    Notice: Undefined variable: attvalue in /usr/share/squirrelmail/functions/mime.php on line 1407
    The attvalue variable has to do with stripping out dangerous characters from e-mails. My concern is that my system has been compromised and that someone has disabled this value in order to hack into my server.
    The only non standard plugin I've installed into Squirrelmail is a filter that enables me to have an out of office message, it also helps me to move junk mail automatically. It too has been running fine for about a month.
    If anyone can offer any advice, I'd greatly appreciate it. Like I said, everything was fine until just a couple of days ago. No updates took place, everything else seems fine on the surface.
    Thanks
    Mike

    I did forget to mention one thing. At the same time this started happening, I also had a problem that I had experienced before upgrading to the latest Squirrelmail, and that is that in the sending mail processing, specifically in the file deliver.class.php (line 614), I was getting a Notice: Undefined variable: default_charset in /usr/share/squirrelmail/class/deliver/Deliver.class.php on line 614.
    I brute force fixed this problem by hard coding the default_charset variable in that function. I know that's not an ideal solution, but it at least fixed the problem from the users point of view.
    Again, this wasn't happening until just recently, and I can't figure out what on the server changed to trigger these problems.

  • Suddenly getting "Unsupported Image Format" throughout library

    What happened? I have lots of projects, with Nikon D3x, and I'm suddenly getting this message, along with the maroon background.
    I tried regenerating library, that didn't solve it. I tried using Quick Preview, that didn't solve it.
    What could be doing this?

    Also this is happening on my Mac Pro with Snow Leopard. Quad core Nehalem model, 32 GB memory, 4x2GB Drives with Apple RAID card, ATI Radeon gfx card.

  • Why all of a sudden are my images missing and have question marks

    Hi Guys,
    Really irritating thing has started to happen when I use pages. I start my document as usual, drag and drop images into it then save. When I try to resave it complains of not being able to save the document. I then save as another file name, try to reopen and all my images are now boxes with question marks on them. I havent moved any folders or anything. Its only recently started doing this. I'm on Pages 4.1.
    Can anyone help me please?
    many thanks

    Look at my points mate!
    1 in 7 people here bother thanking us for helping them, so the points don't really reflect how much work we put into answering their problems.
    Some even provide basic information to help resolve their own issues. Some are like the Korean lady who asked me to set up a Korean DTP system for her years ago. It was obvious that she wasn't giving me all the disks necessary for the Korean installion, grudgingly I dragged them out of her one by one.
    I remember looking her in the eyes and wondering exactly what was going on in her mind, I knew one of us wanted to get the job done and go home. Still a mystery to me to this day. But then she is not alone in this world.

  • Why am I all of a sudden getting storage full messages on my phone? I mean I knocked almost all the programs off and a ton of pictures,and yet I can't even store all my music on my phone like I used to! What changed? I

    I mean I have taken it almost bare and stripped a lot of pictures off but I never, ever had an issue like this. Bad enough it won't even let me get all my music on!
    What gives? I gotta pony up $20 to get all my stuff back to how it was?
    Any hints, helps would be greatly appreciated!

    Have you done a reboot since taking all the stuff off - hold both the home and power buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts, ignoring the red slider if that appears.

  • Albums all sorted then suddenly get messed up

    I have my photo albums manually sorted in iPhoto, just the way I want them to appear in my iPhone/iPad. Worked perfectly like this for 3 years. However, two weeks ago the order of the albums was just suddenly all jumbled up randomly. I painstakinginly re-ordered them back the way they were. Yesterday it did it again. WHY? Anyone?

    Greetings,
    If the albums spontaneously changed that suggests perhaps an issue with the iPhoto Library itself (damage).
    A few questions for you first:
    __Do you maintain backups of your computer (Time Machine for example)? If so, you can go back in time before this issue occurred and restore your Library. If you don't have backups you should seriously consider it. Anyone that has information they care about on any computer should have a backup: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1553
    __The albums that are changing, are they iPhoto Albums or are they MobileMe galleries (An album is a little blue book and a gallery is a cloud)
    __Is your iPhoto Library being stored in the location specified by Apple (Your User > Pictures > iPhoto Library) or are you keeping it somewhere else?
    Try some basic fixes:
    Ensure all your software is up to date (Apple Menu > Software Update).
    Remove the following to the trash and restart the computer and try again:
    Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.iphoto
    Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iPhoto (There may be more than one. Remove them all.)
    If the issue persists try rebuilding your iPhoto Library following this article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2638. Use the bottom 3 rebuild options.
    You may still have to re-sort your albums at this point, but hopefully they won't magically change again.
    Again, if you don't have a backup, I would highly recommend it.
    Hope that helps.

  • Reverse Proxy all of a sudden getting 10061 Error

    External clients can't connect and i tracked the problem down to the reverse proxy not being able to connect to the front end server. If i run the test on the lync publishing rule all the URLs some back with error 10061 no connection could be made because
    the target machine actively refused the connection. Nothing was changed that i am aware of. Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Did you solve the issue with the help of Kevin Fanton provided above?
    Would you please elaborate your Reverse Proxy configuration?
    Please make sure that both port 80 and 443 are reachable on all internal Front end and Director servers from any subnet where Lync clients may reside internally.
    If you deploy Reverse Proxy with IIS ARR, you can also troubleshooting with the help of the link below:

  • All of a sudden, when I click on Firefox in order to access my aol free e-mail, all I get is a screen that says "Google". How do I get out of that screen?

    I've never had this problem before. Always when I click on Mozilla Firefox I get the Aol screen asking for my password to get my aol free e-mail. Why am I all of a sudden getting this Google screen which I can see no way to exit from it?

    Hi pinks60,
    You should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[How to set the home page]]. Your homepage might have been changed to the default Firefox home page. It sounds like you just want to make webmail.aol.com/ your home page. Just enter that into the address bar and hit enter. Then follow the steps to make that your home page.
    If that doesn't work you should look at the article [[Preferences are not saved]].
    If you don't see the navigation bar to enter an address or any of the other navigation buttons, take a look at [[Back and forward or other toolbar items are missing]]. That article will show you how to turn on the navigation bar again.
    Hopefully this helps!
