Blurry images question

OK, I have run into a problem troed to solve now I have to ask the ID gods. I have a project that I did which was to edit some text and change some links in an .indd file.
I was sent a pdf to look at first along with t a list of instructions. The pdf looked fine all images nice and crisp, then I was sent the .indd master file for that pdf.
When opened the master .indd file I noticed that there are a few images which are blurry. But looking at the pdf that came from this .indd the pics are fine.
I need to get to the bottom of this as there is no need to re export and save as a new pdf as I see the blurred pics are in the .indd.
Any help here?

OK here is a fact, when I do a project I usually get the pacakage folder with all links but this indd did not have a linked image file I just got the ind itself, yet when I opened it I got the missing links message but the images were viewable inside the .indd file the complaint was after I did the edots and resaved that is when the blurry images were noticed But these were in the indd before, so moving on.
I now have got the images in another separate file but the images are not linked. I would think now to have the folder with tall the images in the same foldewr aas the .indd and link ALL images to see it I still see those few that are blurry. I do see that the image it self outside of the indd is NOT blurry. Which leads me to believe whoever imported this image into the indd originally did not optimize correctly.
Am I on the right track?

I shot video on a Panasonic P2 and I'm trying to import the MXF files to Final Cut Pro but when I try to import, the only thing that imports is a blurry image of each clip. There's no audio and no video...how can I import MXF files into Final Cut Pro?

at the end, you say "import preferences", which program are you describing?
So im safer using footage that is remotely being pulled from iphoto...
vs
using footage that is imported into FCP from imovie?
Is there anything i can do in fcp to make this footage more reliable or safer or more stable as i pull remotely from iphoto?
All the footage, and all the libraries to all programs, or on a new pegasus 12tb raid 5 setup fyi.

Fix blurry images downloaded from Safari (The semi-easy way)

Hi, I've noticed a couple of people around here have had problems with image quality (blurry images) whenever an image was saved to the camera roll from Safari.
Turns out, there is a simple fix for this!
This fix requires a drawing app such as Brushes (Or any drawing app where you can take an image from your camera roll, and save to your camera roll).
Now, just open the image that is blurry in the selected drawing app.
Notice anything? The image is no longer blurry! Woo!
Now just save the image back to your camera roll, and delete the old blurry image. You won't be needing it anymore.
Problem solved.
(I think opening the picture in the drawing app reduces the size of said picture, making it less blurry. I'll try this the next time I find a blurry image to see the changes in quality. I'll also include a picture guide for those that don't understand how to do this (But would you really need it :P))
Hope this helps all that have this problem!

Like I said, I noticed a lot of people having this problem, so I decided to post this to hold everyone over until the problem is fixed. Maybe this problem will secretly be fixed in the 3.0 update? It certainly is easier and quicker than uploading the blurry photo itself into a program such as Photoshop and editing the dimensions there.

Blurry Images

Hello, I am using Fireworks 8. When I create a nav bar or
other image, I have an issue with the image being blurry when I
import into Dreamweaver. I have image resolution set to 500 pixels
per inch which seems good enough to me and I am not stretching or
otherwise skewing the image in the table cell I am inserting it
into. I should say that I am new to Fireworks and also that the
images look fine in Fireworks. Thanks in advance.

The problem might be the export settings.
Open the Optimize panel, and then click on the Preview button
at the top
of the document window. Test the image with the various
export settings.
GIF for vector images and text with no gradients. JPEG for
photo images
and gradients. When you like the way the image looks, test in
your
browser again.

Blurry images in LR 5.3 Slideshow

I am having a problem with LR 5.3 creating very, very blurry images in a slideshow exported to a 720p mp4. Not all will be blurry, just random. And they are very blurry. Like it did not render the preview. Never had this problem before updating to 5.3.
Here is a screen shot of a blurred one.
And the next image in the slideshow, wich is just fine.
Any ideas?

Bob Somrak, I forgot to turn off the Export Negatives check box.
So I did the Export as Catalog and it came up with 3992 in All Photographs and 3991 in the file totals. So it got rid of the 10 extra pictures. I then had it syncronize the top level folder and it found and imported 10 photos. So I now have 4002 pictures and it is displaying 4002 pictures. 4002 is the total LR said I was supposed to have in the old catalog before I did the export, but it would only display 3992. Unfortunatly, I still have the problem that it thinks the sidecar files are missing. It does not seem to make any difference to anything, so maybe I should just not worry about that.
Thank you very much for your help!
I have two calalogs with family photos in them, I will now see if it will let me merge them.

Compressor creates pulsing blurry images on some clips!!

Rendering from ProRes HD to DVD m2v compressor creates pulsing blurry images on some clips every 15 frames! i had had this happen twice on 2 different clip since the last update to 6.0.3 most of the movie is fine but when I get to a certain clip in the movie every 15 frames it becomes very blocky!
Anyone have this issue?
Thanks, mark

I also have the same pulsating pixelation/blur problem. It used to happen occaisionally in the passed, but recently it's been happening a lot. I used to be able to eliminate the problem by (reluctantly) doing a 1-pass, but even that doesn't work anymore. The same pulsating result seems to be there whatever m2v output settings I set. My company has wasted days trying to sort this out.
I never was 100% happy with Compressor - now it's right in the heap for me. I wouldn't recommend it.
Help Apple!

When I burn a 1.3 GB movie on DVD on the highest quality setting, the result is a blurry image. How can I fix that?

Why did I get a poor quality DVD result when the quality is good when I view it on Premiere Elements?

piboss314
What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
What is the project preset for the project and what are the properties of the source media for the project.?
What is the screen size of the TV being used for viewing of the DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc? Do you have the
same problem if you view the DVD-VIDEO on DVD using a computer player?
We need to explore if this is a problem of expectation or something else.
a. If you take your Timeline content to AVCHD format on a DVD disc, what is the quality of that end product?
Just in case note, DVD-VIDEO standard 4:3 and widescreen 16:9 have the same frame size, 720 x 480 (NTSC) and 720 x 576 (PAL).
The widescreen has a 16:9 flag that stretches the video for display after encoding....in the case of NTSC to about 856 x 480. So, if you
have a high resolution Timeline content, what you are seeing in the end product DVD-VIDEO may not be faring well in the comparison.
b. Please define "poor" quality - not clear, blurry, images smudged looking, something else.
If you are starting with interlaced video with field order = Upper Field First, you may be running into a problem with the field order
that is part of DVD-VIDEO, that is, Lower Field First. We can correct that in 2 ways.
Please review the above. Your reply with details will direct us in customizing an appropriate troubleshooting plan.
Thank you.

T410 camera blurry image

Hi!
I am running a T410 with Linux. The camera is detected but the image is out of focus. I thought it may be a Linux driver problem, so I installed Windows 7 in VirtualBox, using USB-pass-through to use the Windows driver for the camera. I was surprised that the image was exactly the same: out of focus.
Note: I have tried various light conditions, distances, etc. The images below are a comparison at the same distance/light of the internal camera, with an external one:
Image with internal camera:
Link to picture
Using an external USB camera:

Anyone has seen this problem?
I know there is an utility called ThinkVantage Communication Utility. Which I can't run on Linux or virtualized. However, as far as I know it has basic image controls (which also work on Linux), but nothing related to focus (and the focus is also afaik fixed).
I am thinking this is faulty hardware. I am trying to avoid wiping my system just to restore the factory image just to watch the same blurry image, specially after the hundred of issues I have found with the camera on the web.

Go to Solution.

Man, you made me almost scratch the case with a knife looking for a plastic strip. There is none. :-)
Accidentally, while trying to move the "strip" I could not see, I noticed the image quality got fixed (on Linux), but it lasted only while I had my fingers there. Gotcha. If I press the area near the lens against the screen, it gets fixed.
Without pressing image
Pressing the plastic image
So the problem is hardware. Shame on Lenovo, I was expecting a more robust construction. At least I don't see how this could have hapenned on my old T20's. Now looking in detail, loos like the screen frame is not well attached to the rest.
I will contact a service provider :-(

Firefox shows blurry images (and none of the best-known solutions work)

No matter
* if I run Firefox under safe mode (plugins disabled),
* if I update my graphics drivers,
* or if I disable Harware Rendering under Advanced Options,
Firefox keeps showing blurry images.
Here is a comparison screenshot between Firefox (left) and Opera (right) rendering the same image:
http://imgur.com/7GksG7Z
This has been happening for a long time, even through several Firefox updates. None of the solutions I've found on the web (listed above) will fix this problem.
The image blur is tiring on the eyes, not being able to see images correctly is so annoying, and I hope someone can help me fix this issue.

Changing Firefox's zoom behavior so you can enlarge just the text but not the images can lead to site layouts breaking. If you want to take a look:
View menu > Zoom > ''check'' Zoom Text Only
(If you do not normally display the classic menu bar, tap the Alt key to display it temporarily.)
Firefox 22 was the first to tie your Firefox content zoom level to your Windows DPI setting. You can break the connection and set Firefox to use 100% resolution (the classic 96dpi resolution) if you like. Here's how:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''pix''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click '''layout.css.devPixelsPerPx''' and change its value to '''1.0''' for Firefox 21-sized fonts.
This will return the content to normal, but the toolbars may appear a bit smaller than your Windows standard for UI (100%/105%). There is an extension to enlarge fonts in that area: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/theme-font-size-changer/ Theme Font & Size Changer].
Can you get it to work the way you want?

Blurry Images after Pdf conversion

I have a problem when converting files that have images to
pdf - specifically with publisher. The image quality in publisher
when I'm working on the layout is perfect. When I convert it to
pdf, the images are blurry unless the image is a vector file. Can
someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thank you!
Christine

Hello christinewhite,
Thanks for your posting
It is unclear which application you're using to perform the
PDF creation..
If you are not using Acrobat.com, I would suggest giving it a
try.
If you are using Acrobat pro, then you should know that these
forums are specific to the
Acrobat.com website and its set of hosted services, and do

Blurry images on retina display

Hi,
I have just purchased a macbook pro retina, and when I browse the web, most of the images appear blurry. I understand that the images are supposed to be less crisp than the rest of the content (like fonts) because of lower DPI resolusion of the image.
However, it appears that OS X scales the images for some reason before displaying them which makes them even more blurry. I have the same website opened at my old macbook pro, and new retina macbook pro, and the logo image looks much crisper on the old MBP.
Apple says that MBP Retina has 4x more pixels than the old MBP. If that is true, the old one pixel should be displayed by 4 new pixels and there should be no scaling / antialiasing involved.
Is there a way to fix this?
thanks
Karolis

By reading some other forums, I found that the issue is related to Safari smoothing images, and not the operating system itself. I have tried the same test with Google Chrome and the images look OK on Chrome.
So the question... is there a way to tell safari not to do image smoothing when scaling from 72 dpi to 144 dpi?

Blurry Images ver. 10.1

When I play the video, the image I put in the video turns blurry but it's fine when I pause. There was a similar question but I don't have the playback quality option in the playback tab and I think it's because that was for 10.0 and I'm using 10.1. Please help!

The switch in the upper right corner of the viewer.

Blurry image in AI file?

Hi, I tried to use some flags in an ai. file. The flag size I want is very tiny, less than 1cm. It's very strange that when the printer show me the pdf proof, some flags(png and TIF) looks blurry while the others(also png and TIF) looks ok. I download those flags online and the image looks very big and I only need them in a tiny size so I just shrink them and think it should be alright; I don't understand why they are blurry. My question is can I use the SVG flags that I download from Wikipedia and use them on the ai. file?
P.S. I guess it's the complexity of the flag that affects the quality. Because I have a TIF flag sized 4.2MB and still shows blurry.
Thank you.

Do the flags look sharp on the file you are sendng to the printer? If so, then you should talk to your printer and ask them why the proof looks bad. Sometimes PDF proofs will be optimized at a lower resolution in order to reduce the file size to allow it to be emailed. Are you zooming in on your proof? that proof is showing you what the printed piece will look like, (It's unlikely someone will be using a magnifying glass on your printed piece). Did you place the images into Illustrator and save as a PDF (recommended), or copy and paste? You might get slightly better results if you re-size the tif files in Photoshop, then place them in your Illustrator file at the correct size. Also, if your original files are RGB, the printer has probably converted them to CMYK, which your PDF proof will show (Acrobat> Tools> output Preview> Show> RGB).

Blurry Images When Saved In Illustrator CC

Hi,
I've been trying to figure this out for weeks, but can't figure it out. I'm trying to create a new logo and now that I've created it, I try to save it and once saved, It looks very blurry/fuzzy. But in illustrator it looks excellent! It's just in the saved copy that looks horrible. I'm new to using Illustrator, and still in the process of learning, I know it's probably something simple to my problem however I've read every forum related on the internet and even on here and all the solutions that have helped others don't work for me... I'm just metally drained and don't know to do, Any help to solve this problem would be helpful.
-Illustrator CC
-Macbook Pro Retina -late 2013
If there's anything else that you would like to know please let me know. I've tried every possible format just about for the logo to be saved as. Even in the browser preview mode in save for web, it looks horrible. I'm needing this logo to be saved as jpeg, png, or something relative.
Thanks in advance!
-Michael

It isn't really something that requires a 'fix' as such - sadly the number of people with Retina displays is still quite small and most of the time devices use some clever upsampling jiggery-pokery that makes the graphics look better.
I have another question for you, now - when you are exporting your image file from Illustrator, are you changing the anti-aliasing settings to Art Optimised? If this is all news to you, are you using the Export for Microsoft Office option? Or Save For Web?
Sorry to have to ask but it helps in helping you.

External monitor blurry image rMBP 2012

Hey guys!
I have 2012 rMPB which works perfectly and i am connecting it to my 22" Benq monitor via MiniDisplayPort to VGA connector (monitor only has VGA).
Image on the external monitor is really bad, it looks blurry, not sharp enough and brightness is very low.I tried calibrating it, no luck
Monitor is working properly (tested on Win laptop) and resolution is set to native FullHD so i dont know what could be the problem...
Any suggestions?

Hi,
I'm facing the same problem. The fonts on an external monitor are very blurry. Graphics and icons are displayed crystal sharp. I can rule out any issue with the monitor or cable (mini DisplayPort to DVI) whatsoever, because if I run Ubuntu in VirtualBox, then within the VM the fonts are displayed sharp. Also no font issues on the notebook display itself.
So it all comes down to a font issue on external displays, as can be read in several forums. The font smoothing tweaks didn't show an effect.
Macbook Air 13" mid-2012
OS X 10.8.2 Mountain Lion (10.8 pre-installed)
External Display: Benq G2222HDL connected via miniDisplayPort to DVI Adapter on the Thunderbolt connection
Can anyone reproduce the correct font display in a virtual machine?
Thanks,
sal_manilla
