Animatee GIF - loosing graphics quality?

I have 5 slides in Adobe CS4. Each slide 970x300 with a good resolution graphis and text inside.I want to use it on my site as front page banner/slide.
On saving thes pics as animated gif, its pictue quality becomes is very poor.
Any suggestion please?

It may be wise to get away from the concept of a GIF file at that size if you are concerned about quality. That could be a seriously bloated image that may take some time to download. Look to a javascript slideshow of some sort so that you can load those 5 slides as individual image files that could each be optimized as PNG/JPG/GIF. Your other thread indicates that you may be on the right track without an animated GIF.

Loosing the quality of the texture when published !

Hello all...
I am using Captivate4.
In my projects I used to use header as the texture.My header contains gradient fill and of a texture.
When I publish my project the gradient fill area is loosing the quality and getting splitted into two color ranges of the gradient fill.
When I took a plain header, there is no change in the output.
I am sending the the images for your idea of " how the output is...."
This is the original image.
This is the quality lost image after publishing.
Why is this happening ?
Regards,
Kartik.P

Hello,
Some questions: what is the format of the texture (JPEG, GIF, PNG)? Was it created in the resolution you needed? What are the settings when publishing for the SWF Size and Quality? Is the option 'Retain Slide Quality' activated or not? If it is activated, what is the slide Quality that you use: Low, Optimized, JPEG or High?

Poor graphic quality on FM import

I've imported a FrameMaker file into RoboHelp HTML and the
graphics quality is terrible on many images; especially images that
have text anchored with it (the text display as xxx’s). These
images are unreadable, other are OK. I've used RoboHelp for
FrameMaker for years and love the quality of the conversion.
However, The Tech Comm Suite seems to have taken a step back in the
image conversion area. Any help you can provide is greatly
appreciated.

Hi,
First let me say that I encountered this problem back in Feb
2008 and mentioned it here.
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=680&threadid=1339003
At that time, I thought it was an artifact of using tiff
files and CHM compression - too many other things were wrong with
that acquired project for me to be certain that RoboHelp had a
problem. Using PNG seemed to cure the problem.
Several months later and a couple of new projects and I'm
fairly certain that Robohelp is munging the graphics when it
imports FM8 books.
The images in my books (almost a hundred screenshots in one
300-page volume and about 100 in another 200-page volume) are all
imported by reference.
The application is a Web-based Java app with way too much
text in small fonts. I generate each screenshot at a high 300ppi
resolution and carefully crop/size them for the 7x9 page format
using Photoshop. I'm under no illusions here - downsizing bitmap
Web screenshots to fit on a printed page is going to cause loss of
resolution. However, I get crisp hi-res images in the Frame-to-PDF
output and the source images are sized so that they should work
well for both print and Webhelp output.
Now, when I first encounterd this problem in February,
converting all the images to PNG seemed to work well for CHM
output. It appears that PNG is not well supported in Webhelp, so
the images are all converted to JPEG at max qualiity, which also
adds many MB to the size of a PDF. This is documented in the RH
help at:
Home > Images and multimedia > Use images in topics
Note: If you are generating WebHelp Pro or WebHelp output,
use .GIF or .JPG image files.
So I believe that I am following all the RH import
requirements. However, when I run the FM-to-RH import, it's clear
that the images in the help folders have been resized by the import
process.

How should I best import HD Videos from the new iPad to my mac without loosing video quality?

The new HD video on the new iPad is awesome, but it can eat up a lot of memory in no time. I would like to know what is the most recommended way to export my ipad movies to iLife on my mac without loosing image quality, so i can free up space on my iPad.
If I use iPhoto I notice that the file size of the video from the new iPad is a lot smaller then if I use iMovie to import the same video.
Example: I import a 53 second video from the new iPad to iPhoto and the imported file has a file size of 143 MB in iPhoto. (iphoto save the video as IMG_0048.mov)
I import the same video to iMovie manually and the imported file size is 843 MB in iMovie. BIG DIFFERENCE. (iMovie saves that same video as clip-2012-03-20 16;13;08.mov)
Now to really be confusing: I go to Image Capture program and locate the file manually on my iPad and is has the same name and file size is what is in iPhoto.
So either iMovie is making the File a lot larger when it imports to an event, or the file I'm looking at is actually the iPhoto version that I get because I sync with iPhoto.
The second issue that I have is that now I have 2 videos on my hard drive: one in iPhoto, and one in iMovie for a combined data storage of close to 1 GB.
I would like to be able to import ALL my iPad recording into iPhoto and then delete the video from the device when done.
But if I loose video quality, I'm not happy about that. Secondly, by importing video from my iPad into multiple iLife programs, I'm creating duplicates with sometimes different quality. Any suggestions? is there a setting in iPhoto that can do all this for me?
Robert

Don't use iphoto to deal with movies. it's not really meant for that. use Quicktime or iMovie to work with your videos

Lower PDf graphics quality after upgrade from v8 to v9

Some PDF Graphic quality is poorer whne using the new Acrobat compared to version 8.
I recently purchased Acrobat 9 Pro extended as part of the TCS2 and installe dhtis on a new machine. The installation replaces Acrobat 8 professional installed on a different machine.
I have checked the job options in detail on each machine and they appear to be identical.
The problem is most notable in a graphic header which appears on the first page of the Word document template from which the PDF is generated. The file is an imported PNG with a complex blue gradient band and the company logo across the top of the page. The band is underlined by a thinner grey band which fades vertically to white. In the resulting output, blue colors show too bright and quite different to the original PNG graphic. The grey band does not fade smoothly and appears as separate bands.
My colleague has installed Acrobat 9 on the same machine as the previous Acrobat 8 installation and is experiencing the same issue.
I have tried generating a PDf with an old known good file base don the same word template and the result is the same so this probably rules out the Word template. Older PDFs generated with the v8 Acrobat do not do not display this way and i still can generate PDFs using the old machine and version 8 Acrobat without any problems.
Can anyone suggest how i might progress with this?

There are no display problems because i can satisfactorily generate the file using the Print option and selecting the AdobePDf printer.
I have set the Color Management Policies of the joboption to Convert all Colors to CMYK from Leave Color Unchnaged and this seems to improve the quality considerably so i'll stick with that. Some gray color gradient doesnt seem to convert smoothly and shows as varying bands of shades of gray but i can live with that, unless i can find a setitng that handles that.

TA27633 Why do I need to loose the quality of the wav file to add an artwork?

The WAV quality is very good.
Why do I need use the MP3 or the AAC that with them I loose that quality?

You could try converting to AIFF or Apple Lossless rather than AAC or MP3.

COMBINED TEXT & GRAPHICS QUALITY

I'm looking at buying a high-end colour laser like the Xerox 7750 or Ricoh 7200. I've got a few questions about colour lasers in general (see my other recent posts). Feel free to offer any comments about:
COMBINED TEXT & GRAPHICS QUALITY
My HP scanner has options that optimise the scanning quality for text, graphics or both. ie it appears there is no one setting that scans a mixed page at the best quality. I've noticed on reading printer manuals that some also offer different print settings for graphics and text. Do colour lasers print text in an inferior way if there are graphics on the same page; and vice versa? Or should text quality (and graphics) stay the same no matter what else is on the page? Assume the text is sent to the printer as actual text (not rasterised in the application).
In the Ricoh 7200 manual it states: "If text & graphics are blurred, select Text Priority under Graphic Mode from the Maintenance menu and then print."
There is no more explanation, but when I saw that I immediately thought: if I select Text Priority is text quality somehow improved at the expense of graphics quality? Do lasers have this limitation?
Thanks in advance for any comments.

Import the TIFF into a pdf, you can use the Text Recognition tool page by page. Personally, I prefer for a job like your to use a dedicated OCR program that lets me designate which parts of the page should be considered graphics and which are text that needs to be OCRd.

Diashow will loose vector-quality

Hi,
my problem is, that I´ve created a vector in Illustrator and imported it into InDesign. All is perfect, but if I create a diashow with this vector from illustrator it will (probably) converted into an image and loose the quality (if I zoom into the document it will show many many pixels).
So what can I do to save the quality and make the diashow?
Thanks for answering.

What is a diashow? If you mean slideshow, then make sure you check vector in the folio overlays panel for output and that you’ve chosen PDF for the folio.

Lower graphics quality after updating 2.2.1.

Is it just me, or any body else has notice that some of the buttons and transparencies on the iPhone are lower in quality than the early 2.2. version of the firmware? I just update to 2.2.1 yesterday but ever since I've notice this, for example, *look closely on the keyboard of the phone app, check the green button to place the call, it looks blur!* I don't remember if this looks the same on the previous 2.2. version, but I don't remember notice it before. Is like if they use a lower render bitmap here.
Am I becoming very demanding with the graphics or just been paranoid?
By the way, have no trouble with battery or dropped calls. Everything seems to work fine, except for the lack of quality in some graphics and some minor bug when I wake the phone, the click sound does not sound louder all the times, sometimes it sound very low.

I hope I'm just been paranoid, I'll hate to see the quality of the graphics on the iPhone dropped, because the interface is just so beautiful and well care in every detail. And well after all, Apple has always been in the market of graphics ever since they came up with the first graphic interface for the Mac back in 1984. I'll always think that mac os graphics look better that other OS, and now the iPhone looks like nothing before, so, that's what I'm been so demanding on the graphic quality issue. Right now, my iPhone is what keeps me close to Apple Computer, because right now, I'm stuck with a windows pc computer for the moment, and the iPhone is my Mac right now, so I don't want to lose high quality graphics, imagine how will you feel, if all of the sudden your mac os X desktop looks like Windows desktop? That's a nightmare! Right?

Hi ! dont know But when im saving my project to an PDF file i loose quality on the project. I dont know what to do. its very importent for me to not loose the quality

Hi i loose my quality on my project when im saving to an PDF file. . What to do?

lq,
Are you working in RGB Color Mode? If so, you will almost certainly be disappointed when the colours are squeezed into the smaller CMYK gamut.
There may also be a question of colour management/settings.

Satellite L300 - big decrease in graphics quality using Win 7 64bit

I have done this clean install (from Vista 32-bit to Win 7 64-bit) for someone and loaded (I think) all the relevant drivers.
There seems to be a big decrease in graphics quality.
Is this something to do with Vista vs. Windows 7 or does it make any difference which of the three display drivers are installed?
Unfortunately, the laptop isn't with me now so I will have to look into this remotely as well.
Thanks.

Is it possible to point me to the exact link for the correct driver as I will need to communicate with someone else to see if it is installed properly.
Is it an .exe as well as that would really help?
Thanks.

Moving Graphics Quality Loss

Hi,
I'm using FCE (4.0.1) and I'm encountering some problems with moving graphics loosing there original quality.
I originally imported a 300dpi RGB .psd into FCE and placed a 3D Zoom on each layer now during playback the layers are no longer crisp while moving, even appearing to break apart (the image fragments) to originally solve this I applied the de-interlace filter which seemed to correct it but I am now seeing a very pronounced drop in the image quality.
So...Can anyone help?
Cheers

FWIW, deinterlacing throws out half of the vertical resolution so you should expect the quality to drop considerably. Also keep in mind that when you place ANY media in the Timeline, it will (upon rendering) conform to the Sequence settings in FCE. So if yous Sequence settings have a lower resolution than the original media, you will see a decrease in perceived quality. Also note that DPI really has no meaning in video; it is a measure of the print world.
Instead of applying the 3D Zoom to each layer, why not apply it to the nested PSD?

Poor iTunes subscription graphic quality

Hi,
We just created an multi issue iOS app with a free subscription. In the Viewer Builder Version 2.1.130 you are asked for the graphics for SD and HD. We created those in the exact measurements, but we saw that especially the SD landscape subscription banner turned out in poor quality, in comparison to the other banners.
We took a screenshot from the app and found out, that the SD 468x135 banner gets resized to 463x135. Which explains the artefacts.
And you can't upload a 463x135 px graphic. So the resampling to the lower width causes the reduction in image quality.
Is this a known bug?

Printed front panel graphics quality (Print Panel to Printer method vs. Append Front Panel Image to Report.vi)

LV 6.02 (or 6.1)
NT 4.0
I have a vi that the front panel includes all the information I need to print except that it is on different pages of a tab control to conserve screen space. I was attempting to programatically cycle the value of the tab control in a For loop and invoke the Print Panel to Printer method to print 7 pages of the front panel, each with a different tab page selected. The printouts were excellent quality but beginning with the second consecutive Print Panel to Printer method the on screen front panel image of the VI being printed would become jumbled (sometimes, by the time 7 printings were done, the entire front panel image would disappe
ar and a bitmap of the desktop or underlying windows would be visible in the VI's panel frame) yet the subsequent Print Panel to Printer methods continued to print the panel as they should appear. The visible front panel graphics would never return to normal and the only solution was to close the vi (in the dev system) or exe (compiled) and re-launch. I tried a lot of things (like hiding the panel to print before printing and showing it after printing) with no luck. It appears that two or more of these consecutive invoke methods caused the problem regardless of whether the tabs were cycling, or even if there was no tab control and much fewer controls on the panel to be printed than normal. I also had the same problem with LV 6.1.
Finally, I was forced to switch to the report generation toolkit vi's, I cycle through the tab pages and use the Append Front Panel Image to Report.vi to append each image to the report. This is faster and control returns to my program quicker but I a
m unhappy with the printed quality of the graphics of the front panels. They are not as high of resolution as those generated via the Print Panel to Printer method.
Any suggestions?

You might try changing the way the VI is printed by going to tools >> options >> printing. Try the postscript and bitmap settings.

CS5.5 iOS App Graphics Quality

Hello Adobe community,
Thanks for helping me out today. Here's my issue: I am designing my whole app in photoshop and currently in the process of moving all of the images to flash to add interactivity. The promblem is, when we put the app on the iphone the quality of the graphic is lowered for some reason.
When I am building in photoshop my settings:
640px by 960px
72 ppi
Saving out as a .jpg
When I send the jpg as a picture to my iphone 4 and view it in my "Photos" app, it looks great, but on the test app it loses quality.
Does anyone have anyone have any idea whats going on here?
Thanks,
If I left something out that could help please tell me so I can add it!

in flash, right click the bitmaps in the library, click properties and tick "allow smoothing".
This only worked when we tested it in flash, but when we put it out to the iphone, it didn't look any different it still had the same unsmoothed edges. So could there be a setting when publishing as an IPA file.
