Can I restore resolution after scaling down?

I created a scene for an animation by painting in photoshop meant for HDTV 1080p. I scaled the image down in order to create a longer panel for a tracking shot, but now when I scale it back up to the correct size the resolution is terrible! Is there any way to restore the resolution? I was told I should have made it a smart object before resizing, but is there any way to fix the problem after the fact?

Assuming your painting is made of pixels (vs. shapes), other than going back in your History (assuming you're in the same Photoshop session), no.  Once you've downsampled pixels, there's no getting the lost detail back.
Some thoughts:
Close the document without saving and reopen the original.
If you've already overwritten your master document, look for a backup of the file.

    can't restore apple Tv after stuck from down load

    Have you actually tried recovery mode?
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
    If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
    Use iTunes to restore iPad.
    Or DFU mode?

  • HELP! Can't restore backup after going from 4.2 to 4.1

    I had 4.2b2 installed on my iPhone 4. I did a sync & it backed up.
    I then restored 4.1 since 4.2 was very buggy for me.
    When I went to restore the backup, it took like 5 seconds & of course the backup was not restored. I have too much information in various apps that I will lose if I can't restore that backup.
    What do I do?

    Turn off your iPhone, then press&release power to turn it back on while keeping the home button pressed for 20 seconds to boot up your iPhone in recovery mode (you should see the "Connect to iTunes" logo with an iPhone cable on the screen).
    Then connect your iPhone do your computer, iTunes will detect an iPhone in recovery mode. Restore using the stock / non-modified iOS 4.1 firmware. After the restore is over, you will be able to restore your last backup (I was able to restore from 4.2 to 4.1, but if you get an error (besides the "backup session" pirated users are getting...) then you can just use any of the previous backups in the list (iTunes does a full backup before doing a firmware update, so if you look in your backup history, you should see at least 2 backups dated from the day you did the 4.1 to 4.2 upgrade, one from before the upgrade, and one from after the upgrade. Obviously you will want to take the first first one).

  • Can't restore iPod after seeing the "Exclamation point folder icon"

    My iPod showed me the "Exclamation point folder icon" out of the blue... i tried resetting, restoring (upgraded to 7.1 in the process) but when i connect the ipod to my computer it still shows me the icon, then the Apple sign, then "Do not disconnect" (while charging) and then the ipod itself starts clicking...
    any help would be GREATLY appreciated!! very furstrated over here...

    Hello,
    If a sad iPod icon or an exclamation point and folder icon appears on your iPod’s screen, or with sounds of clicking or HD whirring, it is usually the sign of a hard drive problem and you have the power to do something about it now. Your silver bullet of resolving your iPod issue – is to restore your iPod to factory settings.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
    If you're having trouble, try these steps at different levels one at a time until the issue is resolved. These steps will often whip your iPod back into shape.
    Make sure you do all the following “TRYs”
    A. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
    B. Try another FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
    C. Try another FireWire or USB port on your computer .
    D. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
    E. Try to download and install the latest version of iPod software and iTunes
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    For old and other versions of iPod updater for window you can get here
    http://www.ipodwizard.net/showthread.php?t=7369
    F. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) and it would conquer most iPod issues.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
    G. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
    If none of these steps address the issue, you may need to go to Intermediate level listed below in logical order. Check from the top of the lists to see if that is what keeping iPod from appearing on your computer in order for doing the Restore.
    Intermediate Level
    A. Try to connect your iPod with another computer with the iPod updater pre-installed.
    B. Still can’t see your iPod, put it in Disk Mode and connect with a computer, instead of doing a Restore on iPod Updater. Go and format the iPod instead.
    For Mac computer
    1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
    2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
    3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
    4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
    5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    6. Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
    For Window computer
    Go to folder “My Computer”
    Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
    Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
    Now select “Format”
    Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
    In case you do not manage to do a “Format” on a window computer, try to use some 3rd party disk utility software, e.g.“HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool”.

    C. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
    Tips
    a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iTunes 7.
    b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
    c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”

    A. Diagnostic mode solution
    If you have tried trouble shooting your iPod to no avail after all the steps above, chances are your iPod has a hardware problem. The iPod's built-in Diagnostic Mode is a quick and easy way to determine if you have a "bad" iPod.
    You need to restart your iPod before putting it into Diagnostic Mode. Check that your hold switch is off by sliding the switch away from the headphone jack. Toggle it on and off to be safe.
    Press and hold the following combination of buttons simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds to reset the iPod.
    iPod 1G to 3G: "Menu" and "Play/Pause"
    iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Menu" and "Select"
    The Apple logo will appear and you should feel the hard drive spinning up. Press and hold the following sequence of buttons:
    iPod 1G to 3G: "REW", "FFW" and "Select"
    iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Back" and "Select"
    You will hear an audible chirp sound (3G models and higher) and the Apple logo should appear backwards. You are now in Diagnostic Mode. Navigate the list of tests using "REW" and "FFW". The scroll wheel will not function while in diagnostic mode. For further details on Diagnostic mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/
    Try to do the 5in1, HDD R/W and HDD scan tests. Some successful cases have been reported after the running the few tests under the Diagnostic mode. In case it does not work in your case, and the scan tests reports show some errors then it proves your iPod has a hardware problem and it needs a repairing service.
    B. Format your iPod with a start disk
    I have not tried this solution myself, I heard that there were few successful cases that the users managed to get their iPod (you must put your iPod in disk mode before connecting with a computer) mounted by the computer, which was booted by a system startup disk. For Mac, you can use the Disk Utility (on the Tiger OS system disk), for PC user, you can use the window OS system disk. Try to find a way to reformat your iPod, again it does not matter which format (FAT32, NTFS or HFS+) you choose, the key is to erase the corrupted system files on the iPod. Then eject your iPod and do a Reset to switch out from Disk Mode. Reboot your computer at the normal way, connect your iPod back with it, open the iPod updater, and hopefully your iPod will appear there for the Restore.
    If none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired.
    Consider setting up a mail-in repair for your iPod http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
    Or visit your local Apple Retail Store http://www.apple.com/retail/
    In case your iPod is no longer covered by the warranty and you want to find a second repairing company, you can try iPodResQ at your own risk
    http://www.ipodresq.com/index.php
    Just in case that you are at the following situation
    Your iPod warranty is expired
    You don’t want to pay any service charges
    You are prepared to buy a new one
    You can’t accept the re-sell value of your broken iPod
    Rather than leave your iPod as paper-weight or throw it away.
    You can try the following, but again, only do it as your last resort and at your own risk.
    Warning !!!! – It may or may not manage to solve your problem, and with a risk that you may further damage your iPod, which end up as an expensive paper weight or you need to pay more higher repairing cost. Therefore, please re-consider again whether you want to try the next level
    Last Resort Level
    1. . Disconnecting the Hard Drive and battery inside the iPod – Warning !! Your iPod warranty will be waived once you open the iPod.
    In Hong Kong there are some electronic shops offering an iPod service for Sad iPod, the first thing they do is to open up the iPod’s case and disconnecting the battery and the Hard Drive from the main board of the iPod. Wait for 5-10 minutes and reconnecting them back. The reason behind which I can think of is to do a fully reset of a processor of the iPod. In case you want do it itself and you believe that you are good on fixing the electronics devices and have experience to deal with small bits of electronic parts, then you can read the following of how to open the iPod case for battery and HDD replacement (with Quicktimes)

    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2438774#2438774
    Have I tried these myself? No, I am afraid to do it myself as I am squeamish about tinkering inside electronic devices, I have few experiences that either I broke the parts (which are normally tiny or fragile) or failed to put the parts back to the main case. Therefore, I agree with suggestion to have it fixed by a Pro.

    I am not suggesting that you should follow as well, but just read them as your reference. You are the person to make the call.
    Finally, I read a fair comments from dwb, regarding of slapping the back of the iPod multiple times
    Quote “This has been discussed numerous times as a 'fix'. It does work, at least for a while. In fact I remember using the same basic trick to revive Seagate and Quantam drives back in the mid to late 1980's. Why these tiny hard drives go bad I don't know - could be the actuator gets stuck in place or misaligned. Could be the platter gets stuck or the motor gets stuck. 'Stiction' was a problem for drives back in the 80's. Unfortunately the fix can cause damage to the platter so we temporarily fix one problem by creating another. But I know of two instances where a little slap onto the table revived the iPods and they are still worked a year or more later.”UnQuote

  • How can I restore bookmarks after I pressed clear data for Firefox on Android

    I have pressed clear data for Firefox in Android Application manager. On SGS4 it is Settings->Options->Application manager->Fitefox->Clear data. Can I restore my bookmarks now?

    Android's Clear Data button completely deletes your Firefox settings files. I am not aware of any way to undo that unless there is an "unerase" tool for Android files as there are on desktop operating systems.
    Some ways you might have made a copy of those bookmarks:
    * Did you ever set up Firefox Sync and sync the bookmarks to a Firefox Account?
    * Did you ever use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/android/addon/copy-profile/ Copy Profile add-on] in Firefox for Android?

    Restoring iLife applications after Internet Restore of OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion
    If you erase install OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion on a new Mac that shipped with OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion installed, you can download iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand from the Mac App Store.

  • Can't restore backup after 6.01 update

    Got an iPhone 3GS that I updated from 4.3 or so to 6.01, then tried to restore from backup -- but iTunes hangs at "Restoring iPhone from backup, Estimating time remaining..." eternally. Had pretty much my entire life on that phone, and now that everything is FUBAR I'm losing money every day that I can't do work. Any way to get all my lost data back? Backup stored somewhere on my computer? Reversion to older version of iOS or iTunes that actually works?

    I see your post has gone unanswered for 2 weeks, could be because no-one knows the solution or your post is confusing.
    I do not know the solution but what is confusing about your post is you said "After the upgrade, which naturally wiped the phone" Upgrades do not wipe the phone, how did you update ?

  • I can't restore 4S after 6.1 upgrade

    Upgraded to 6.1 thsi week but for some reason it went wrong and I have been unable to restore my backup as get error message it is "corrupt or incompatible". Have tried a few older backups (restored from Timemachine) and all are the same. Is my backup really corrupted? Or is this a 6.1 issue?
    How can I go back to 6.0 and restore? Is there any way of recovering some of the data I have lost (Notes app in particular)?
    Thanks

    - Reset your iPod. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Download/install a new app.
    Do not delete the app and redownload it from the App store.  A year or sa ago the developer upated the app so it was no longer compatible with the iPod Touch.  That also means that the old versinon you are using is not compatible with the iPOd Toucn unless the iPhone Configuration utility allows you to install the app on the iPod.

  • Lion Server: How can I restore OD after a crash ?

    Hello all,
    the issue is not new but I found no way how to repair the OD database. I admit I am no expert and I rely upon senior advice.
    I ran the restore command as described here to no avail:
    http://www.prestonlee.com/2009/07/08/recovering-a-corrupt-openldap-database-on-o sx-server/
    What happened ?
    After a Finder crash we had to re-boot our Lion Server (10.7.5) with the power button and after that the Network Accounts were all gone because OD's LDAP, Kerberos and Password Server were no longer running.
    I re-stored the server from a TM back-up just the day before and I got back the network accounts but this is probably just a last resort.
    What is the quickest way to restore OD services in Lion Server ?
    Thanks for your help,
    Twistan
    P.S.
    The TM restore from the previous day's backup did NOT RESTORE the following:
    1) calendars of network accounts
    2) Enrolled devices (profile manager)
    I shall post these experiences in a separate thread.

    If you originally bought the iWork apps through the Mac App Store (doubtful based on your profile) you can reinstall from the Mac App Store using your Apple ID. The Mac App Store does require at least Mac OS 10.6.6.
    If you originally installed from a retail boxed DVD, use that DVD to reinstall.
    If you downloaded the trial & bought a serial number electronically, you can redownload the trial & apply the serial number you were given. If you do not have the e-mail with the serial number you can get the serial number from the list of online purchases in your Apple Store account. You do not need a new serial number from Apple. Go to the Store tab at the top of this page, click Account (small, faint gray word next to the cart icon in the upper right), click on Downloadable Software Purchases & sign in.

  • How can i restore memory after deleting all photos on my iPad 8.1.2

    iPad 4
    8.1.2
    Photos; not iPhoto app
    Under GENERAL I cannot restore my capacity memory after deleting all my photos from the iPad.
    I do not store photos in the Cloud. I do not use Photo Stream
    I have reset my iPad as well as checked in Image Capture for possible photos still there.
    I have also deleted last 30 days of photos.

    In iOS 8.1.2 photos that are deleted from the Camera Roll are moved to the Recently Deleted album. They remain there for 30 days unless you delete them again from that album. The Recently Deleted album was created because so many people complained that they deleted photos and wanted them back. The Recently Deleted album gives people 30 days to change their mind about deleting photos. For the rest of us, it's kind of a pan to have to delete the photos twice to free up the storage space.
    Oh, and there is no longer an iPhoto that works on iOS devices running iOS 8.1.2.

  • Can I Restore Firefox After Hard Drive Failure?

    Hi,
    My Laptop Hard drive failed but i was able to save all data to an external one and put it back onto the new hard drive.
    I will have to install Firefox on the laptop again, But I just want to know could i restore Firefox (Like the Bookmarks, Browsing, download, search and Visited websites History) back on the laptop like it was before the hard drive failed, Is all this data on the saved hard drive (In A Firefox Profile Folder) or would it be lost ?
    Thanks

    Install Firefox on your new hard drive and when you start Firefox, it will create a new profile folder in the default location. You can open that folder using
    Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
    In that window, go up a level to the main Profiles folder, the keep that open and return to Firefox and exit out.
    Copy your old profile folder into the Profiles folder side by side with the new one. Firefox won't recognize the existence of the old folder because its name is not familiar, so you'll have to rename it. First, rename the new folder by adding _blank to the name. Then copy the name up to but not including the _blank, and use that as the new name for the folder you copied over. When you start Firefox, it should detect your copied profile folder and run with it. If your copied folder was from Firefox 23, most likely you will see Firefox check extension compatibility and show the welcome screen again.
    Does that work?

  • Can't restore iPhone after turning off while doing the iOS 8.0.2 update

    I wanted to do the iOS 8.0.2 update. This didn't work and my iPhone 5 turned off. Now it says that I have to connect ti iTunes. I tried to restore it but it always says that a mistake appeared. Now i can't use my iPhone anymore and i don't know what to do

    it took me 5 hours to get iTunes to sort my phone out!!
    I have an iphone4 I updated to iOS8.2 this ruined my phone. The bloke in Apple store told me to reset my phone. Whilst it was in the reset mode it froze meaning it was a brick! I couldn't get rid of the apple logo and iTunes was not recognising my phone!!
    I changed the USB ports and that appeared to work. BUT once my phone was on it did not ask if I wanted to restore from icloud ...... So I've lost all my settings and text and have no clue how to get them back. My iPhone is like new, which is rubbish coz it took me over a year to get it how I liked it!!

  • How can i restore files after i've emptied the trash bin?

    I accidently deleted some photos and also emptied the trash bin. I also haven't backed up my computer in a while. (unfortunately).
    Is there any way I can restore the photos?

    You'll have to stop using the boot volume so you don't write to it and create and boot from a external boot drive, then install Data Rescue on that to run against the internal drive to recover files.
    If you write to the boot drive, even surfing the web does that, you can overwrite your deleted data.
    Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
    If that is too much for you, you can use the local PC/Mac software repair shops, they do data recovery in the hundreds of dollars range.
    The "four figures" data recovery is really only needed if the drive is mechanically dead and it has to be dissected.
