Camera looks grainy

Camera looks grainy when viewing/taking pics with iPad, but when I pull photos from cloud on another device, they look and print fine. Ideas!?

There are several (hundred?) apps that can help the pic look better by adding more light to pics you have already taken. photoshop and camera flash come to mind. There are many more.

Why do videos and photos look grainy in my iPad

If I take photo or video on my iPad 3 the video looks grainy and horrible. How can I fix this?

As iCrizzo said, more light will substantially improve the photos and videos. Keep in mind the cameras in the iPad are very small. they do not have high resolution or a lot of light-gathering capability. The more light you can provide, for example doing facetime in a well lit room, will be helpful.

Graded footage now it looks grainy and full of noise, why?

System Setup
MacBook Pro Retina
RAM 16gb
Adobe CS6
I just completed grading my footage and rendered everything and my footage looks grainy?
My source files are RED R3D files. Sent to Speed Grade from Premiere Pro via the send to command. The exposure on the clips is correct. I've only done a 15-25% increase on the Gamma setting nothing too drastic. In terms of the grade I made the footage look vintage by using the Sepia filter at a 25-35% opacity, crushed the black and pushed the whites but didn't go overboard and did a few Secondary color corrections to make curtain colors pop. I've provided a link so you can see what the footage looks like. I've even tried turning off all the filter/adjustments or shutting off all the eyeballs and rendering the RAW footage back out. The footage still looks grainy

Access Code: password
Also the footage looks squashed now after rendering why?
Finally is there a setting where you can see if you missed any clips? Mean you didn't grade them, the timeline is so small it's hard to know if you missed a small clip or two

Looking at the clip in fullscreen (1680x1050) on my MBP (non)retina, I don't see anything that comes close to 'grainy' (save for the background on the title pages). Have you verivied on other screens?
But form expeciance I must say that noise/grain in the blacks is a typlical issue. Actualy, what you are seeing is that, when there is light, the new generation camera's pick it up very well, but have difficutlty with the dark parts making blacks grainy and midtones and highlights not. Film has grain over the full specturm. I've been requesting an "Add Grain" filter for SG for this use. By adding grain to the mid & high the grain in the backs is less apparent. I typically fix that in After Effects.

All photos suddenly look grainy UNTIL I zoom in [Photoshop CC]

A couple of days ago, all the sudden, every picture I bring up in Photoshop CC looks very grainy until I zoom in a couple of times. When I bring it up in Bridge, it looks fine, even after I edit it in PS. A few days ago I had been working on photos from the same photo session and they didn't do it. Now when I bring up one of those photos from several days ago they also look grainy, too - but only when I view them full size in Photoshop CC. When I zoom it, they look normal, but I can't edit them zoomed in. I restarted the computer but that didn't help.Do I need to change a setting in Photoshop? Hope this makes sense. Thanks for any help. ~Valerie

Hi, I am having exactly the same problem. Very frustrating as I have deadlines to meet. Graphics that I am placing into a PSD were designed by graphic designers, and have used them before, but suddenly they are very grainy. I have looked at the suggested solution but Performance is set at 4. I've attached a picture should like as well as what the PSD file looks as a screen shot. Hope that someone can help. Many thanks.

Image looks grainy in Photoshop CC but not in CS5

All of my images look grainy int he dark areas in CC, but not in CS5. Is there a display setting that I'm missing? Side note, the saved images look fine. They only look bad in the CC UI.

I wonder if that level of disdain could ever be necessary towards a total stranger who is just asking for help? I hope their life improves and they don't feel the need to take it out others through tech support message boards. Props to sharmstr for being so cool about it all.
Well if that's how you are going to be!!!! Station is OK, but this is an old thread, and there was a full moon back then.
So is it a display problem rather than a performance one? I think it was mentioned that the artefacts a not there on saved documents. It is also one of those issues that would be fixed by resetting preferences, because the cache levels would go back to four. It actually says right there on Preferences > Performance in the History & Cache section 'Set cache levels to two or higher for optimum performance' .
There is so much good information right there among the oficial help pages

Which makes it very disappointing that Tech Support couldn't track it down. I suspect they work more from Expert Systems than their own knowledge, so they have a bit of work to do there.

Hi. Because the forum you originally posted in is for beginners trying to learn the basics of Photoshop, I moved your question to the Photoshop General Discussion forum.

Live type files look grainy and do not fill the background when used for green screen backgrounds.

live type files look grainy and do not fill the background when used for green screen backgrounds. Ideas?

What I want to do is somehow make my entire iMovie project smaller by compressing it somehow but without losing any footage or audio or quality. At the moment the project is a 56GB iMovie project lasting approx 1hr. I have a mixture of miniDV footage, titles created in Live Type (they are better quality than anything available in iMovie) and audio.
The miniDV footage is automatically compressed when it transfers from my camcorder to my Mac, no worries there.
The LiveType titles contain a motion background (imported into LT) and then text which appears and disappears at set points. The titles vary in length but are about 5 seconds each.
The file size for the LT titles is approx 180MB per clip, the movie requires about 20 or so of these clips, making a very large file size overall.
Is there a way that I can save something in LT so that the file size is smaller yet still keep the quality and use the clip in my iMovie ?

Why does my RAW image look grainy when I export it in to Photoshop CC from Lightroom for editing?

Why does my RAW image look grainy when I export it in to Photoshop CC from Lightroom for editing?
Checked LR's setting for Ps export and they haven't changed since it was OK a few days ago? It is OK if you zoom in but in 'fit page' it looks terrible!

I have exactly the same problem and it has got worse today as the photos also now open in smaller windows for some reason

Image looks great in PS- when I go to print it looks grainy in printer preview dialog box and prints blurry. Why?

Image looks great in PS- when I go to print, it looks grainy in printer preview dialog box and prints blurry. Why is this happening?

PS CC, Yosemite, Epson 3880 (called espson to make sure it wasn't something with that), saved as a tiff/psdjpg- all files behave the same way. When I open the raw file- and only crop the image- it behaves this way now- with grain and blur when printing. No other files do this in the same shoot. I worked on this image- could something have gotten corrupted along the way such that now even opening the raw file creates this problem. SInce upgrading my computer - a window pops up when I open PS that says I need to update my graphics card?? for 3D- I'm not using 3D- so I don't know if that means anything. I have to leave for about an hour- but greatly appreciate any feedback. I will be in touch. Thank you.

Pictures look grainy in PE 11

Complete newbie here, so please bear with me.
I've compiled a short 'movie' of pictures and video clips with Premier Elements 11, but the pictures look grainy! They are fine when I open them with any other program, but they look just aweful in my slide show. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong or why this is happening? I was really hoping to have this done as a gift for Christmas, so time is running out on me.

Thanks, but that doesn't appear to be the problem.
I hit the render button. Still no difference.
I burned it to disk and put it in my dvd player and sadly, it looks even worse!
If I can't solve this in the next couple hours, I guess I'll have to either play it on the TV with great sound/aweful pictures, or run it on the computer with slightly better pics but crappy sound. Makes a lousy Christmas gift for all the hours of work I've put into it!

Contact Apple Support and say your camera has a problem.

Flash Version of DVD/Blu Ray looks grainy

So I have found a way to export my Blu Ray files to play off of a flash file. My question is this. When I am watching the file the menus and such look crisp and clear but once I go into a video asset within the Flash version to watch it, the video looks like it is scaled down and looks grainy and awful. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? The file for the whole flash version seems to be hovering always at ~3.5 GB no matter what I set the project settings to. Does anyone have any ideas?

What export preset did you use? And yes, the max resolution appears to be 1280x720.

MP4 looks grainy

The file on this page was a Quicktime Movie converted to an MP4.

Can anyone help me understand why the MP4 that is there now looks "grainy"?
Thanks!

Frankly, the file doesn't look all that bad for the setting you used.
1) You Devoted less than 64 kbps to the video track but twice that (128 kbps) to your audio track. Suggest at the minimum you reverse this and use a minimum rate of 128 kbps to video track and 44.1 KHz/64 kbps mono AAC for same sound quality as in your current stereo track. In addition, the movie played as a "fast-start" movie when I looked at/downloaded it. So the streaming tracks are a waste of storage space/bandwidth here.
2) Would personally recommend trying a 320 kbps video data rate at 23.98 fps (key frame rate either in auto or manually set in the 24-120 range) and mono AAC 44.1 KHz/64 kbps audio track with streaming turned off. It may be overkill for your purposes, but you can adjust the video data rate downward to reduce file size. Assume you used MPEG-4 here rather than H.264 for greater compatibility. Switching would, however, improve quality if this is not an issue for you or your recipients.
