Aperture Web Journal - image quality?

Hi,
I process pictures for web in Photoshop and then back to AP3. Everything is fine and picture is just like I want. So I do this because of this AP Export problem with sharpening when you rezize pictures to web size.
When I create new Web Journal the image loses it's sharpnes. If I don't do something wrong, it means that AP3 Web function is worthless to me. In iWeb, I think, quality is better, but with AP3 it's so easy to make web pages.

Suggest that you contact Epson by phone, email and/or check out their Epson cx7800 Troubleshooting Guide link for answers. Did the printer come with a manual?
You posted no system info. Therefore, I also suggest that you also cross-post in one of the "Printer Forums" of whichever OS you are using.
Good luck!

  • Hiring Someone to Create a Customized Aperture Web Journal Template

    I'm interested in creating a customized Web Journal template for Aperture. Does anyone know anybody out there I could hire to do such a project?

    The BEST way in my opinion is nothing mentioned in this forum:
    LIGHTSCRIBE BABY!!!!!!!!
    Laser burn ANY image on the DVD just like Hollywood Movies baught in a store.
    I paid $175.00 for a Lacie Dual Layer DVD Burner and it included Toast Titanium 7 and LightScribe Software - Best of all works on MACs ONLY (not PeeCee's) and produces flawless DVD's regardless of Brand name.
    No ink jets to buy! No paper to buy! No stupid bulky printer to have on your desk! Just a slim Stainless Steel looking DVD Burner that puts to shame Apple's own SuperDrive OR any Label or Printer kit on the market today.

  • Satellite S70-A-11H web camera image quality is not good

    Hi,
    Running windows 8.1 which came with the laptop.
    New out of the box.
    As per title.
    I find the image quality of the camera image to be very grainy, poor color etc.
    When I start the web camera using the search bar on the right, it starts using the Microsoft application, when you scroll down to settings all that is available under settings/options is Photo aspect ratio, Grid lines, Location info.
    I have been in touch with Toshiba Tech support who advised to do a Laptop refresh, which I did.
    This made no difference.
    After which they asked me to find the Toshiba web camera application on the laptop, this should have been in the Program Files folder in the Toshiba folder.
    This application does not exist on my laptop.
    The tech checked the same model laptop that he had available, which I was told when he selected the web camera, it opened using the Toshiba Web camera application, not Microsoft.
    I have looked at other Toshiba laptops with web cameras, and found the image quality to be better. Unable to get to settings as these laptops were on display and in demo mode, hence locked down to some extent.
    I can't believe that a web camera in this day and age for this value of laptop to have such poor image quality. My digital camera from 10year ago has better image quality.
    I have checked through the laptop, and I do not have this application installed.
    I have checked for updated drivers and software for my laptop, and cannot find this application to be applicable for my laptop. Drivers etc appear to be up to date.
    I would like to know, do other users of this S series have any issue of camera image quality.
    When the camera is selected what application is being used, Toshiba or Microsoft.
    Is Toshiba web camera application applicable to Windows 8.1, as I cannot see it listed for 8.1
    Does this sound like a hardware fault or a application/software issue.
    Any direction or help on this matter would be appreciated, as I am getting to the point of returning this laptop for a refund.
    Thanks in advance.
    D.
    Yes, I have tried using the FORCE!

    > The tech checked the same model laptop that he had available, which I was told when he selected the web camera, it opened using the Toshiba Web camera application, not Microsoft.
    The Toshiba webcam application is available for Win 7 system but the Win 8 and Windows 8.1 system use the own Microsoft webcam application.
    > I have looked at other Toshiba laptops with web cameras, and found the image quality to be better.
    Different Toshiba notebooks are equipped with different webcams.
    Satellite S70-A-11H was equipped with a *0.92 mega pixel webcam*
    A Satellite A660 for example was equipped with an _1.3M mega pixel webcam_
    So there is a difference in webcam resolution

  • Web page image quality to printer

    I have an Epson cx7800 which I have aligned and cleaned the heads.
    The image quality of the print from my G5 iMac to the printer is sort of like a double image of the colored text (for instance, the word DVD will be printed twice, in a blurry fashion, in red and yellow). When I just copy a page from the printer, the quality is fine. It's just the images I'm getting from the Mac to the printer that are poor.
    I get this same problem when I print a CD cover from iTunes.
    Is there any way I can improve these images?
    Thanks.

  • Lousy web "Save Image" quality? And best res for others?

    Double header here. iTouch 2nd Gen:
    1) When I "Save Image" from the web via the iTouch, it looks like total crap when opened in the device's photo library. Blurry.
    2) When working with photos on my desktop, is there an optimum size/resolution I should set them at for iTouch syncing in particular? Or does it automatically get resized anyway when it syncs to the iTouch? I don't care what they look like via iTunes--I'll save versions just for the iTouch--but I don't want to send files that are unnecessarily large and use more space than needed.
    Thanks~

    1. known problem. for now we live with it
    2. itunes will resize the photos (optimize) during synching, so don't worry about their original sizes on your pc (or Mac)

  • I would like to edit web journal themes. Is this possible in Aperture 3?

    I am making a website to display photos of coral species, and I need the following flexibility from the web journal page. A) is it possible to edit the web journal themes within Aperture, and/or B) is it possible for an html programmer to take the outputs from the Aperture web journal export (folder), and programme these externally?
    - multiple hierarchical headers, with a different header for each page (ie. a different species name per page)
    - different sized photographs, on individual pages.
    - option to include custom metadata fields in the web pages
    THANKS!!!

    It can't be done directly from within Aperture but it is possible to modify (or better) create new themes.
    The themes are located in the Aperture application bundle under Contents/Resources/WebThemes in subfolders by theme name. A good html progamer shouldn't have to much trouble figuring out whats what.
    regards

  • Aperture 3 and web journal

    I'm trying to post a web journal to my mac account with little success. I'm using the Export Web pages button with the destination being Idisc.sites.journalname. The exporting ball spins at the bottom of the page .... for hours but never completes. I cane find the web journal at http://homepage.mac.com/username/journalname but find that the journal pages and text have been completed but only about 5 or 6 photographs.
    Any help most appreciated.
    Mikey.

    Hi Kit, thanks for the reply. I don't think it's a fault with Aperture 3. I remember receiving an email some time ago from apple saying that .mac would not allow new web journals to be posted after a certain dat. Any journals posted earlier would still be viewable on the web but could not be updated. It was around the time of the Mobileme launch and I hoped (after half-reading the email) that it would just be a case of using homepage.me etc. instead of homepage.mac etc.
    If you look at the Aperture tutorials for posting to the web they only talk of Flickr and Facebook or Web Pages.
    From what I can see, Aperture still lets you build a web gallery but you will have to post it via a third part service provider - which is a pity and and an extra expense. Aperture Web Journals are not perfect but they do allow text pages, which I really like. Aperture Web galleries are not as useful if you want to post photographs from various sources i.e. build a showcase of different types of work.
    Thanks again for the reply.
    Mikey.

  • Aperture Web capabilities vs. iWeb

    I am a relatively serious amateur photographer that has been using Aperture for a few months now, organizing and cataloging all my images I've been shooting for the past few years.
    I'm ready to take the next step which is share those images on the web.
    I don't have the latest version of iLife, which includes iWeb. Has anybody had any experiences with iWeb vs the web capabilities in Aperture? Is it worth purchasing iLife to get iWeb or am I better off using the built-in web features in Aperture?
    Thanks for your help,
    Julian

    hello, andreas
    quote: "How well does GoLive work for ongoing content management?"
    it is simple once you have a workflow established.
    quote: "Suppose you integrate an Aperture-created gallery into your web site using GoLive and then make some adjustments to that gallery in Aperture, such as editing one of the photos or additing additional ones. You obviously need to re-publish the gallery using Aperture, which is as simple as hitting a button, but how painful is it then to incorporate those changes into the GoLive version?"
    if i change a photo in an already made medium to large site say like a month later the easiest way to do this is to export the version from Aperture into GoLive (instead of the whole site) and update the photo within GoLive.
    here's an example of a site built in Aperture (Web Journal),
    for the animated .gif Final Cut Pro & Adobe's ImageReady,
    for uploading and tweaking GoLive:
    Built using Aperture
    quote: "I'm contemplating the use of GoLive for overhauling my site."
    hmm? might want to check the status of it since i don't know what Adobe's plans are for GoLive now that they own Macromedia Dreamweaver.
    personally i would like to see a pro version of iWeb integrated with the rest of the pro apps.

  • Does Export Version reduces image quality?

    Hi,
    I got smaller file size when I "export version" at "original size". My master was jpeg of 5.1MB and I exported in jpeg format, I got 3.6MB. If I "export master", I do get 5.1MB. What does Aperture do to the jpeg image that reduces the file size?
    Then I played around with "image quality", which is 10 by default. If I set it to 11, I got a file of 4.1 MB, still smaller than the original 5.1MB. Set it to 12 I got a file of 10.4MB. I am kind of confused. I guess the "image quality" relates to degree of jpeg compression, and a 12 setting means that Aperture compresses the jpeg image at a lower compression ratio than my camera? Does Aperture uncompress jpeg image and re-compress it when "export version"?
    The bottom line is, how do I preserve image quality after adjustments? In other words, I would like to export at the same image quality as my original photo, or as close as possible (I assume Aperture reduces jpeg image quality a bit every time I apply adjustments to the image via export). Thanks much for your time.

    2) When I make adjustments in Aperture I actually work on the image Aperture produces out of the master file - which should be about 73MB in my computer memory as the size of the image is 2848 x 4272 and Aperture works in 16 bit.
    Internally, Core Image (which Aperture uses) actually works in 32-bit, but your basic idea is right.
    3) When I export, Apertures compresses this 73MB image (assume adjustments don't make much difference to the image size) to a jpeg file.
    First the image will be reduced to the bit depth of your export preset. Image adjustments will make quite a difference to the final file size because areas of high definition detail and a large tonal range will both increase the file size for a given compression setting. So any sharpening, for example, will increase the file size.
    As a test, export an image with no sharpening applied, then add some edge sharpening and export it again. You should see a noticeable difference in file sizes.
    Correct?
    Pretty much.

  • How do I select and format fonts when creating a web Journal in Aperture?

    I am creating a web journal in Aperture 3.5.1.  There is a not very functional way to create text boxes and add text interspersed with images.
    I can open the font window, but highlighting text and formatting it in the font window has no effect.
    In addition, the size of the font actually changes from paragraph to paragraph for no apparent reason.
    How do I format text when creating a web journal?
    After I have created the web site, I can open the html file and edit the source code, but this is very tedious.
    --Kenoli

    Hi
    Do You mean by "front" and "back" mean beginning of movie versa the end of it
    or Picture in picture effect - zooming into one photo then to another ?
    There is a picture in picture function in iMovie'09 - but very basic and
    to move around in a photo You got the "Ken-Burns effect".
    Still to do this with 100% control there are only two good alternatives
    • QuickTime Pro ($30 QT-Pro update) - Hard to use very demanding
    • FinalCut Express ($199) - Hard to get up and running
    (Steap learning curve to start with) - Then Pic in pic is dead easy.

  • Blank images using Web Journal

    I've uploaded a Web Journal (around 4 hours!) and 4 of the images are blank/black (both the thumbnail and the main image).
    Any ideas on the best way of fixing this problem. I'm loathed to just republish as I'm sure the same images will appear blank.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Image quality bad in Web Gallery

    I used the .Mac web gallery feature for the first time yesterday with images that I had edited in Lightroom and then exported to iPhoto for upload, I chose the jpeg compression at highest quality (they were RAW files taken with my Canon 40D) and saved as sRGB optimized for the web. The thumbnails look fine, but the images look absolutely horrible full screen...focus looks blurry and artifacts in some of the shots. Granted, I'm viewing on my 24" screen and it does look better on my other half's 13" MacBook, but still...the image quality should not suffer like this. I can't believe Apple would release a product the renders such poor quality photos.
    Is there something that I'm missing here? Is anyone else noticing this with their web galleries?

    Dave:
    You can replace the 800 x 600 files with your full sized image files. But it would be a manual operation. Each photo in an web gallery has it's own folder with several versions of the file in it. They are located in the iDisk/Sites/Web/_gallery folder. The file titled web.jpg is used for the slideshow. If you replace it with the original file that's been renamed web.jpg, it will be the one used to display in the slideshow.
    HOWEVER, the full sized image file takes a very long time to load when playing the slideshow. If you do that you should use an image resizing application like Resize! to reduce the file size by selecting a higher jpeg compression ( lower quality level) while keeping the pixel dimensions the same. With a 60% quality level and keeping the pixel dimensions the same I reduced a 2816 x 2112 pixel, 2.11 MB image file to 695 KB. The 2.1 MB file took 6 seconds to load, the 695 took 2 seconds and the iPhoto produced file were nearly instantaneous. Resizing down wot 1200 x 900 at 60% reduced the size down to 132 KB, much more manageable for loading and rendering online.
    So you would have to test to see what pixel dimension and quality level would work best for you. But keep in mind that you'd have to manually change each file, rename it to web.jpg and copy up to the iDisk.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Safari 7 in Mavericks-Web image quality problems?

    Suddenly, my browser image quality has gone south. Web page images load, but they are very poor quality, and blocky. I have made no changes to settings, nor updates. Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Workaround: the video had been embedded as
    <object type="video/quicktime" data="mov.mp4"
      height=470 width=550>
    </object>
    I changed that -- using the HTML 5 video tag instead --
    <video height=470 width=550 autoplay>
      <source src="mov.mp4" type="video/mp4">
    </video>
    This works. Perhaps the prior syntax is deprecated?

  • IPhoto vs Aperture uploaded image quality to Mobile Me

    I realize this may have been discussed, but by my tests the exact same album loaded up to Mobile Me gallery via iPhoto looks better than Aperture...how can this be? I searched for topics about image quality and Mobile Me and found many complaints but little in the way of solutions. While, for me, this seems to be a solution, it is sad that my "pro" app is doing a worse job than a "consumer" app, not to mention the additional importing needed to use iPhoto. And this is v7.1.5 of iPhoto. Anyone have any other solutions for image quality involving Aperture and Mobile Me galleries? Thanks.

    So the album finished uploading and the difference is amazing! I was very hesitant to send a link to my client after Aperture had uploaded the album...the images were that soft. But the iPhoto, while still a touch soft look 10X's better. Same album...just different programs used to upload to Mobile Me gallery. I'm not sure what is going on with Aperture, but Apple really needs to figure it out.

  • Poor image quality when posted on the web

    Hi,
    When posting my iWeb pages on the web, the images look very poor compared to iWeb. When importing images to iWeb the image size is around 240 kb and when downloading the same image from the web after posting the image size is reduced to 52 kb and with a clear difference in quality. Why is that?
    For info, my Optimize setting is set to OFF
