Can I improve the image quality in Safari?

As a photographer one of the things I was most looking forward to doing on my iPad was browsing flickr and other photo sites.
Unfortunately safari seems to re-compress the images it displays (to save memory?) and the resulting JPEG artifacts are so distracting that it's not even worth looking at my contacts photos until I'm back on my laptop.
To reproduce this just go to flickr on your normal computer and on the iPad and compare some images - it's a pretty big difference.
I can't see any settings for image quality anywhere. Is there anything I can do, or am I stuck waiting for an iPad version of the Flickr app?

Alley_cat, you're right... I just installed an AirPort last night and over WiFi everything looks fantastic! For the record I'm getting 3G from O2 in the UK, so I guess that means they're compressing the images?
Looks like it.
I've noticed it too on my O2 connection and the image quality is abysmal.
A quick search hasn't yielded a solution - changing the O2 username to bypass in some setups apparently bypasses the proxy, but someone on O2 forums was asking before iPad was released, and the inference was that unless you had a long term contract, all the pay as you go type options didn't allow this to work.
I also tried a different server setting for O2 and it told me I had no allowance left - fortunately this went when I reset the setting.
I may try contacting O2 and would urge others to do so as it really I pairs the user experience.
Vodafone does the same with a USB dongle I have but in theory I can get them to disable the proxy.
Btw, I've just had the chance to have a proper play with my iPad this morning, downloading apps and stuff, and I have to say it's exceeding my expectations in every way (and my expectations were high!). What an amazing machine

  • Photo has packet loss.  Can I improve the image with Aperature?

    I received a poor quality family photo (hard copy). Almost like "packet loss" on TV whereby the image edges are muted and/or missing. I wanted to enlarge the 3 X 5 inch photo but if the quality is poor at this resolution, I know enlarging will just make it worse.
    Can Aperature improve the photo quality? Compression or rendering or ??
    OR is this a photoshop opportunity?
    Please advise.
    Thanks

    Hi labratinaz;
    While I will admit I am now learning to use Aperture, IMHO this sounds like if it can be solve it will take Photoshop to do it. I don't think the adjustments in Aperture are powerful enough.

  • How can I improve the sound quality of my new iPod?

    Hey there,
    I just received my new iPod with my new MacBook Pro computer.
    I have read every bit of documentation i received plus I have scoured resources here on the forum, but I am baffled.
    I just synced my iPod for the first time to my Macbook, iTunes,
    With the supplied earbuds (from the iPod), the sound is not very good at all. In fact, it the sound of each song seems to break up quite a bit, and the clarity is not very good.
    As an experiment, I plugged the earbuds directly into my MacBook using the same songs, same quality, etc, and the MacBook sounds decidedly better.
    What can I do to improve the tonal quality that is so lacking in my iPod compared to the same recordings on my computer?
    Any tips? Tricks?
    Thanks for your input.
    Joel
    www.readyacoustics.com

    Ok Joel, I think I have the answer for you.
    First, the iPod sound. The 5th Gen iPod is a good sounding unit. It has been designed to have a flat, neutral - uncoloured - sound, which is a good thing.
    There should not be that much of a difference in sound quality between the iPod and the MacBok Pro. Are you sure that all settings are equal on both units? For instance, make sure that the eq is flat on both units, and same goes for the output level. For the same material being played, the louder one will be perceived as sounding better.
    There are ways to improve dramatically the sound you hear from your iPod: (a) better headphones (b) a mini, portable headphone amp.
    (a) better headphones: For a good roundup, check out these two sites:
    http://store.earphonesolutions.com/shureearphones.html
    http://www6.head-fi.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=2
    I would say that the new Shure E500 (around US$450) would be on top of my list, price not being an issue. It seems like they're good no matter what you're listening to. All others seem to sound good on, say, classical/acoustic, but are way too flat - read boring - for modern music, such as techno or house, or R&B. The brand "Etymoyics" fall into this category, for example. But then again, some people would disagree, so read as much as you can on one of the forums I mentioned above, Headfi - really good.
    (b) mini headphone amp: These are very small and portable, and people who have bought them swear by them. Check out Headfi again, this time on their amp forum:
    http://www4.head-fi.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=3
    Think about spending about around $500 for a great little portable amp. They're made by enthusists, small-scale companies. Real jewels, some of them, and I mean jewel in terms of quality, not just looks.
    Anyway, this should get you started...Good luck.

  • How can I change the image quality of a background image on a master slide?

    I can change the image quality from low to high for other images in my Captivate project, but the background image I'm using on my master slide looks pixellated. I would like to change this image to high-quality but I don't see the option in my properties panel on my master slide.
    Thanks for any help!

    You cannot import AI images directly. However, when I use Illustrator drawings, I'll import them as smart object in Photoshop and then you can import the PS-layer.
    The quality you set in Captivate is not for individual images, but for the slides that are published as bitmap. This means that it doesn't matter if the object is on a master slide or on a regular slide IMO

  • How can I lower the image quality on a streaming online video

    Hi,
    I have an old iMac G3 with 500 Mhz Power PC and 1 gig of RAM  and running Tiger OS 10.4.11
    I am trying to watch online streaming news through http://www.rentadrone.org but it is, of course, jerky playback.
    My issue is that adobe flash will not let me change the quality of the video to low because the option is grayed out.
    I know that this iMac was prior to videos becoming common online and I know that I have to sacrifice video quality.
    I can play youtube videos well, as in not jerky, in the 240 image quality and wanted to be able to do this through
    other websites with video. I have disabled Dashboard to gain CPU, tried to play the video through Realplayer and
    changed my Display from millions of color to thousands but I haven't been able to stop the jerking on the video.
    Is there a workaround or other solution?
    Thank you in advance for any suggestions or help.

    Each video website has its own controllers over how much choice you have over quality of streaming.
    However, as you use Real Player, you could wait until the video finishes downloading, then click 'Download' in the RealPlayer Download Agent window and watch it offline, when it should play smoother.

  • How to improve the printing quality of pictures, printing a database layout

    I have a database that contains also pictures in multimedia containers. If I print a layout containing a picture, the quality of the picture is really bad! Pixeled with big pixels.
    Is there a possibility to get better prints?
    The pictures are JPEGs of reasonable size.
    The picture in the layout on the screen looks MUCH better.
    Printing to an PDF and viewing this on the screen is equally bad.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    I'm guessing that your images are JPEGs. AppleWorks changes the resolution of all graphic formats except PICT to 72 dpi. There are a couple of things you can do improve the print quality of images.
    1. Turn on Fractional Character widths in Preferences > General > Topic: Text. This is a text setting, but it does improve the print quality of images.
    2. Open the image in Preview or GraphicConverter & Save As... a PICT to use in AppleWorks.
    PICT is generally the best format to use for inserting or pasting into AppleWorks. I find the resulting graphic can be resized somewhat & the resulting saved AW file is much smaller than if using JPEG or TIFF.

  • How can I retain the original quality of a photo when sending it by email.At the moment if I drag them in to the email from iphoto the image quality reduces.

    When I add photos to an email by dragging them in from iphoto the quality of the photos reduce.
    How can I retain the original quality.
    Philip

    When I add photos to an email by dragging them in from iphoto the quality of the photos reduce.
    Philip, dragging from iPhoto will export previews of the image, not the original high resolution image. To export higher quality versions from iPhoto don't drag, but use "File > Export"
    You can also mail your photo directly from within iPhoto using "Share > Email" and set the "Size" to "Actual Size (Full Quality)"

  • When I drag photos into iMovie, the image quality is degraded.  Can I somehow prevent the degradation?

    When I drag photos into iMovie, the image quality is degraded.  Can I somehow prevent the degradation?

    Hi
    A very common origin to jumpy picture is
    • Recorded material in one frame rate e.g. 29.97fps (NTSC) and iDVD set to do a 25fps (PAL) project - OR the other way around.
    It delivers a DVD but a very bad one.
    I do convert all my material to same fps as the DVD I want to do (e.g. PAL) - before any editing etc.
    I use JES_Deinterlacer or Compressor to do this and the result is so much better.
    JES_Deinterlacer is free on Internet and makes a Great job - Professional alternatives comes at an astronomical cost and the quality is not hardly no better.

  • How can I see the photo quality settings in iLife'06 books

    I assembled a 100 page book using iLife'05 over the last week or so. Luckily I hadn't ordered the book before learning about the new "improved print quality" when using iLife'06.
    Well, iLife'06 finally arrived today and I installed it and... Well, do I need to scrap my old book or can I just go ahead and order through iLife'06 and get that new great quality?
    While still running iLife'05 I printed my book to a PDF file and the file size for the PDF is 150.4MB.
    I then installed iLife'06 and printed the same book to another PDF file and the size of the file was ONLY 57.4MB. Almost a third the size. If anything I was expecting the PDF file to be much larger (double?).
    I even did a side by side comparison of the two PDF files using Preview and I've got to say that the '05 version was better than the '06. This makes sense since the file size is much larger in the '05 I would expect the image quality to be better.
    So, now I'm worried. How can I see what the settings are and how can I tell what I'll get when I'm going to order a book?
    Thanks!
    PowerBook G4 15 1.67Ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.2)  

    Chuck:
    The Print to PDF file is not exactly the same as the one iPhoto creates for uploading and printing. Here's how to get the iPhoto version. It involves going thru the ordering process until the book is assembled and then finding and copying the pdf file to the desktop and then canceling the ordering process.
    How to Find the iPhoto Generated PDF File:
    1 - Start the ordering process and stop after the book has been assembled and you get to the Order pane where you select the cover color, copies, etc.
    2 - Go to the Finder and select the Go->Go to Folder menu item (CommandShiftG).
    3 - copy the following, “/private/var/tmp/folders.501/TemporaryItems/iPhoto” (for Panther the path is "/private/tmp/501/TemporaryItems/iPhoto“), and paste into the Go to Folder search box.
    4 - the iPhoto folder will be brought up. In it will be the PDF file that was generated by iPhoto. You can copy it (Option-drag) to the Desktop to review and/or save.
    Note: the iPhoto folder will not exist before you start the ordering process and is deleted after the order is completed or after you cancel the order and quit iPhoto.

  • How can I improve the stability of itunes64bit 8.0.2 on my Vista system?

    Vista Home Premium: iTunes64bit: application crashes after adding album photos and then changing views (list, Album, split) or clicking on different playlists and back to the entire music library.
    The library has 42,000 items (mostly music) so it is quite large. At launch it takes a long time for itunes to load and display. There is no user cues telling me it is running. It simply displays after 60 or more seconds.
    Then I start working in the library, pasting pictures to multiple items, modifying album titles.
    After doing a few management tasks on my music items and navigating back and forth between the music library and playlist (changing views), the application stop being responsive and according to the log, the app just plainly crashes.
    Sometimes I can restart successfully but most of the times, I need to stop the itunes service or log-out before I can restart it successfully.
    I am using itunes64bit 8.0.2
    I am running it on a machine equipped with 4GB of ram and the library lives on a 500GB external hard drive plugged-in through USB 2.0.

    Hey Sierra, You can do just what you have stated. My question, what is your "other"? If it is over 1.5 GB you most likely have corrupt files. Doing a Restore to New, Factory restore should correct it. Just make sure you make a full backup of all information on your iPod to your computer before you restore, so you don't lose your stuff, contacts, videos, pictures, non-iTunes music, etc, use the cable and connect with your computer. Then, via cable, connect to your computer, run the Restore to new, don't use your backup. Treat this iPod as if it was your first one ever. When restore is done, set up and add what info you wish to install on this iPod. The music apps etc you purchased should be on your computer, if not you should be able to retrieve purchased apps and music from iTunes. Any music, videos, apps not purchased from iTunes will be lost to you if you do not save them to your computer or the cloud first. When your done, make a current Backup and you should good to go. Hope this helps. Good luck. Cheers.

  • When working in my photo album in iphoto my photos are replaced with a grey box and an !. I can't see the image on the page.

    Lately when I am working in my photo album in iPhoto my images are replaced with a grey box and an ! . I can't see the images on the page. All my photos are high quality.  What am I doing wrong?

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .
    Regards

  • I can´t see the images in my e mails

    When I open my e mails, in the most of them I can´t open the images, instead there is a simbol of question "?" what can I do. Thanks.

    I had the exact same problem a while ago, but in Safari.
    Certain pictures on websites appeared with a questionmark instead of displaying the actual picture, and I was going NUTS because of it.
    However, I found out that this fixed the problem:
    Go to System Prefences and click on Quicktime. Selcet the 'Advanced' tab and then click on the 'MIME settings' button. In the window that shows, make sure there is NO tickmark in the 'Miscellaneous - miscellaneous file formats'.
    Hope this helps

  • Is there settings to improve the camera quality for the galaxy 5

    are there settings on the camera of a galaxy 5 for that will improve the camera quality?

        Hey daninz23, I know that device has a great camera and we want to make sure that you are familiar with all the settings, so you can make the most of the device. You would be able to change the camera resolution by opening the application and pressing the gear icon. That will open the Camera settings and from here you can change many of the camera settings, but for better quality you can change the Picture Size or resolution. Also take a look here for some helpful tips with the camera features for the S5 http://vz.to/1rSHIS6.
