Blurred text in DSP interface??

I was placing some chapter markers manually in DSP, and as I was scrolling back and forth, the chapter marker text above the timeline ruler would blur at random... looked like a graphics card or gui issue. I can't get a screen grab, the moment I change over to grab it clears back up..
Could this be anything to do with the automatic font smoothing? Ideas? It's not crashing on me, but it definitely makes me nervous, because it's happening in the interface, not the media..
thanks,
kdog

Hi
Something like this?:
I was working this morning in a project and when I scrolled the Log window (by mistake!) found that crazy "speed effect" ! I remember this post and tried with the timeline and ... wow ... I found that!
It's crazy, first time I see it. I have 10.4.11 / DVDSP 4.1.2 / QT 7.2 (a little lazy to update QT!).
If you cnahge apps and return to DVDSP it solves, or if you click different windows too. The timeline issue is not 100% consistent, I cannot reproduce it all the times I try.
Someone else?

Blurred text in preview

Hi all,
I'm trying to revive a previous post. Essentially I'm having a problem with blurred text in preview, similar to this post from last year: https://discussions.apple.com/message/10895578 . Also, here's mine (https://discussions.apple.com/message/16092409), and I haven't received replies.. but what the previous discussion thread shows is exactly the same issue I'm having. Has anyone seen this blurred/smeared text in Preview/Quicklook before? and were you able to fix it?? It only happens with PDFs (and NOT present in Adobe Acrobat/Reader)..
It wouldn't be so annoying if it wasn't that Mail.app uses preview also and I often get work PDFs mailed to me.
Any fixes??
Thanks!

I'm having the same issue viewing PDF's....
It seems to work fine with Adobe Reader, just not in Preview.
Here's the links for the PDF's..

But then strangely this one can be previewed...

Blurred Text in PDF Form

Created a form by converting a pre-existing PDF to a form-fillable one using Acrobat Pro.
The form-fillable PDF was created fine.
In editing the form, I changed the text fields to allow multiple lines of text.
Saved the form as a new PDF filename
When filling out the form using Reader, most fields allow for text wrapping to multiple lines.
At the bottom of the form, several fields allow text entry, but then blur the text both when filling the fields, when printing, and after saving under a new file name.
Ideas, suggestions, etc.?

Now that I said that, I should revise it to "...it most likely would have happened when you edited the field..." as I recall working on a form sent to me by someone else who had added field using the Form Wizard, and there were duplicated fields, so I suppose it is possible that Acrobat automatically added them.

Macbook Pro Retina - Adobe Blurred Text

Hi, I have purchased a Macbook Pro with retina display. When I use Adobe Acrobat pro the text is blurred. Does anyone know a solution to this problem?

I've been reading the reviews etc, and looked at the Adobe forums, but I've not found that much main info.
Basically from all the reviews I have read, everyone thinks it's an excellent machine, and the Retina is great. Adobe's UI in CS6 apparently looks a bit blurry, but hopefully Adobe will fix this, and it's perfectly usable anyway.
Check out the Verge's review: http://www.theverge.com/2012/6/13/3082649/macbook-pro-review-retina-display-15-i nch
I've decided just to go for it, and ordered a Macbook Pro Retina, 2.3ghz with the extra 16gb Ram. My usual setup at my studio at work (I'm a freelance Illustrator and animator) is hooking my current 2009 MBP to my 20" Cinema Display.
Since I walk to work the slimmer design will be great, and if Adobe's programs are a bit dodgy on the retina display, it won't matter too much when I'm using my Cinema Display. It might make my display look old, but I'll probably upgrade that and get a 27" display in the future.
The retina display will be a nice addition for surfing the web etc.
Now if only Apple would release a non glassy cinema display again... Apple? : )
I hope that helps from my point of view.

Blurred Text in Exported SWF

I have created a project using C3 and when I export all of
the text appears blurred or bold.
You can see one slide from my project and published swf from

Any help to get this looking better would be greatly
appreciated....
Thanks.

Hi Andrew and welcome to our community
Looks as if this is something you imported from PowerPoint,
no? Assuming I'm correct with this, you are seeing a slight
degradation because Captivate is resizing the background as it
comes in. There are a couple of things you can do here.
1. You could reconfigure your PowerPoint presentation to
display in a window, then simply record it using Captivate as you
play it back. That should result in crystal clear slides.
2. This one was offered by Kevin Siegel in his newsletter:
Let's assume that your Captivate projects are all set up at
800 x 600 pixels and you've been asked to import a PowerPoint
presentation that was set up at 8 x 10 inches. There is no way
Captivate can effectively resize or convert the 8 x 10 inch
PowerPoint document down to 800 x 600 pixels--the sizes are not
proportional.
The trick is to get the PowerPoint presentation resized to
800 x 600 before you import it into Captivate. However,
PowerPoint's Page Setup is in inches, not in pixels. How are you
going to make the conversion? In your head? A fancy conversion
table? I don't think so. Try this instead.
1. Open the Captivate project that will be receiving the
PowerPoint presentation
2. Right-click any slide and choose Copy Background
3. Switch to PowerPoint and create a new presentation
4. Choose Edit > Paste to paste the Captivate background
into the PowerPoint presentation as an image
5. Right-click the image and choose Format Picture
6. On the Size tab, notice the Height and Width of the
picture (you should write the numbers down now)
7. Click Cancel and close the PowerPoint presentation
8. Open the PowerPoint presentation you intend to import
into Captivate
9. Choose File > Page Setup
10. Change the Width and Height to match the size of the
picture (you did write those numbers down, didn't you?)
11. Click OK
12. Go through your PowerPoint presentation. You may need to
adjust some of the text if the new size is dramatically different
from the original size
13. Save and close the PowerPoint presentation
14. Back in Captivate, open a Captivate project that is the
same size as the PowerPoint presentation you resized (in the
example above, that would be 800x600 pixels).
15. Choose File > Import > PowerPoint Slides.
16. Open the PowerPoint presentation you resized earlier.
After the import process, you'll notice that the size of the
imported PowerPoint slides match your existing Captivate slides. In
addition, the image quality of the backgrounds should be pretty
darned good--much better than you would see if you tried the old
method, which was essentially trying to coax a round-peg into a
square hole.
Hopefully something here was useful... Rick

Blurred Text in menu for BluRay

The submenu text is very badly blurred on my computer and on the final product BluRay. Everything else is sharp.
I've cycled through about 30 font types and they all looks terribly blurred in the submenu. I've tried all of the attributes such as "smooth", "sharp", "none"...etc. Any idea what this might be ?
thanks.

I have not seen an update to the following thread. The information is somewhat contradictory.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3435725#3435725
The point for you is whether you must use 2 bit for highlights.

Blurred text in icons

Hello everyone,
when I write text into icons (almost in every icons), the text appears as blurred, not sharp. There's a kind of shade.
Since the text is minuscle, the final result is not clearly readable.
I tried many fonts but the result is the same.
Does anybody know why and how to make clear text to appear ?
Solved!

Altenabch has a point here.
It is something related to Clear Type optimisation, I'm using a laptop BTW.
But unfortunately the final result in the small icon is as blurred as in the drawing area.
It seems that the editor draws the characters in the bitmap area of the icon editor, and from that point the icon is just a bitmap, forgetting whatevet picture optimisation (Clear Type) might have been done.
Anyway, as already said, I'm fine with just one font (Small Font). I don't really have the need to play with fancy fonts .

Blurred text in image - Photoshop - iPad

For some reason, the iPad blurs the text in images which have been created in Photoshop as a text overlay, then exported out as a png or jpeg file (using maximum quality). I use text overlays when it is not appropriate to upload an image and then write a caption in the caption field. How can I make the text clearer? It's making our app look unprofessional...
Many thanks

I have created large JPEG images in Photoshop and you definitely need to rasterize the text or flatten the entire image before creating the JPEG.
Also, if you are using these images in a slideshow, you need to be aware that any photo slideshow app (and this includes the Photos app on the iPad) takes a little bit of time to process the image.
I have many large JPEGs that need a few seconds to compute to full resolution.
When I first call up one of these images, it is quite blurry, but after about 3-4 seconds, the image displays very sharp. I have to set the amount of time an image is displayed in a slideshow at a minimum of 5 seconds or greater to give the images time to "sharpen up."
I am sure this is RAM issue as the iPad only has 256 MBs of RAM to work with.
I wonder why Apple went with such a low RAM amount in the iPad?
512 MBs I would think be a minimum standard for a device of this type?
1 GB of RAM, IMHO, would have both great and ideal.

Blurred text with mac mini 24" LCD

Hi,
both my mac mini's (2010 and 2011) have blurred test when connecting via HDMI or the HMDI --> DVI cable to my Acer S240HL 24" 1080p monitor.
I've set the display to 1080p in the mac settings.
I've read a lot about the HDMI implementation is poor on the mac mini and the best option is to use VGA! VGA!? Really?
I've also tried the command line
defaults -currentHost write -globalDomain AppleFontSmoothing -int 2
to no avail.
I'm running 10.8.3.
Any other ideas? Perhaps I'm just too used to the retina display on my iPad/iPhone!
Thanks in advance.

Personally I think that your best connection would be either (the HDMI to DVI Adapter or a MiniDisplay Port to DVI adapter) and a good DVI cable, because that's what works best with my 2010 Mac Mini using both LG and Samsung monitors.
For blurry text and/or faded colors, go to: Apple > System Preferences > Accessiblity > Display and check to make sure that your Enhance Contrast: slider is set to Normal.

In CS6 - how can I un-blur text within a photo taken at a seminar of a powerpoint slide presentation

Is there a way in CS6 to un-blur or "clean-up" text within a photo taken during a powerpoint slide show presentation at a seminar ?

You can import pictures into programs such as Photoshop and sharpen them or make other corrections but the results will depend on how much information remains in your photo. It is always better to work with the original image than to copy it out of a power point presentation. I am moving the discussion to the Photoshop forum in case you need more help.

How do I get rid of blurred text happens all the time now in Firefox web browser?

Even when I was registering for this forum the text was blurred and multicolored sometimes. Its very annoying and hard to see. This is all the time with Firexfox. Chrome and IE I have no such issues.
Also when I was taking an assessment test for a job application none of the answers took and I was told by the program that it was probably my browser. I used to use IE and never had any of these issues but changed to Firefox as I was informed that the security was better. All these issues have been frustrating to say the least.
Thanks, Rita

Blurred text with camera movements

Hi All
I am sure that someone has solved this matter, but I couldn't find any post to it. I am animating my camera in which it moves fast towards a text and beyond it. Unfortunately, when I come close to the text, it blurs & pixelate. My first thought was to adjust the focal length of the camera, but there is no settings for that, is there? Then I played with the NEAR settings but they don't really address the issue, they merely give me an option to cheat a bit. Then I saw I can 'rasterize' the text layer in motion, again I am not aware of the settings being in motion, and NOW I am about to try Photoshop rasterized test and import the file into motion. So please stop me from further experimentation and share a clue or two o how to avoid the text burring when I move the camera towards it. Thanks in advance.

Cheers Mark. Thanks.
In fact, I thought when you export the sequence, it would set it automatically to high, but it doesn't. Now, I know ... and for everyone out there, in case you didn't know, you can leave the render quality even low while you are designing the sequence, but don't forget to set it to high before you export.

HELP! Blurring text/logo creates visible border

Hi,
I have a video that has some unnecessary text that appears several times while the video is playing.
I tried to blur (censor) the text using the 'Eight-Point garbage matte', 'Gaussian blur', 'Mosaic'.
Also tried 'Track Matte key' with other blur effects. Also tried changing the blend mode.
The problem is, it creates a clearly visible white border around the blurred portion and it doesn't look nice.
And the border is more visible when a bright video is running behind it as seen in the below screenshots.
Any advice to get rid of this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Garbage matt + blur is likely your best bet. Results will not be great.
If Premiere had better feathering tools for sculpted layers\tracks, it might look nicer. If your created a .psd in Photoshop, with a feathered alpha channel matte shaped to obscure the text, a track matte could work best if you understand how to employ it.

Jumbled text in web interface after updating Web Services / firmware

I got a message on the screen of my Officejet 6700:
Update Recommended
An update is available for Web Services (ePrint and Apps).
Do you want to proceed?
I selected Update Now, and it installed fine, or so I thought.
I checked the web interface for the printer, and find there is a bunch of jumbled text, like the code is messed up for the web server.
I had just finished checking the status of ink cartridges (and subsequently replaced one), therefore I fortunately still have the fully functioning webpage open on another machine, so I can tell exactly what the before-and-after is on that one page.
On the Tools > Ink Gauge page, on the good (old) page the table says (title, first row, first column):
Installed Cartridges
Color | Magenta | Cyan | Yellow | Black
Part Number
Type
End-of-Warranty Date (Y-M-D)
First Installation Date (Y-M-D)
Ink Zone
USE
HP
But after updating the software, it says this:
Print Self Test Page
L@S#0456 | Number of Logged Events | L@S#0462 | L@S#0552 | L@S#0450
Accumulated Media Usage
Date
L@S#0477
L@S#0561
L@S#3345
Also, the "Order Supplies" link, with a popup text of "Order printing supplies"
now says "Ink Cartridge", with a popup text of 'Block unwanted faxes"
And "Print Printer Status Report" now says "L@S#2567".
I went to the support section, and found a firmware update, but upon downloading and running it, upon finding the printer, it says it is already Up-to-date, and won't let me select it to try and re-apply the firmware update (as that's evidently what going through the touchscreen menu has already done).
Do I need to just restore to factory settings? I would think firmware wouldn't be changed by doing that. There isn't an old version of the firmware available on the product support page, to revert to an older version.
Via the printer touchscreen menu, a printed Printer Status Report says the firmware version is MPM3CN1322DR.
How do I force a re-install of the firmware, or get them to fix the firmware that was published on 2013-06-25?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

michaelprang,
You are unable to revert back or reinstall the firmware since it has already been downloaded and updated.
Have you attempted to use a different web browser?
