CS4 shapes are blurry not crisp

Ok Forgive me in advance, but I am at a loss. I upgr
aded to Windows 7, reinstalled CS4, and now any time I try to draw a shape the edges are rough and pixelated, not sharp or crisp like before. Have
I changed a setting somewhere that Im missing?
Please help!

Also if your creating shape layers, you might be seeing the vector path.
Try clicking once on the shape mask to hide the vector outlines.

  • My entire screen display on the creative cloud programs are blurry (not just the picture, everything) help?

    I'm on a Mac book Pro I've recently purchased, and I've just purchased and downloaded the creating cloud suite CS6 and I'm horrified to discover that the entire screen display on each of the programs in blurry! the text around the edges are hard to read and of course that means when I bring a picture in or put up some text its all blurry too, its impossible to work. Please help I'm a student and can't afford this.

    In CS6 only Photoshop and Illustrator have Retina support after installing the respective updates. Otherwise you have to live with it.

    I don't understand your last paragraph.
    "The home page also has a full bar ..." What does "full bar" mean? " ... instead of the tray it had before."  What does "tray" mean?
    Anyway, you might try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout
    I guess that cannot make things any worse.

    all photoshop cs4 tools are not responding. how do I get them to work, again?

    Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, font validation, etc.)?

  • Why are previews in Bridge blurry (not rendering properly)?

    Why are previews in Bridge blurry (not rendering properly)?
    I found a simple answer to this question: control click on the thumbnail and select "purge cache for selection"
    After years of intermittently having this problem, this solved the issue. I had just finished a fresh install of main sys hd (new hd) and first time opening bridge encountered this issue again after not having the problem for a few years.
    Hope this helps others.

  • PC and OS switch, now Bridge previews are blurry

    Yesterday I (well, my son--not me!) moved my Photoshop CS4, Bridge, ACR, LR2 to a new PC. Operating system changed from XP to Windows7.
    Previews are blurry; I cleared cache, in Preferences, I've got Monitor Size Previews selected, Software Rendering Deselected (Selecting it made no difference). Video Card is GeForceGTX 285.
    Thanks!

    Some individual jpg's are blurry. If I right click and delete cache for  that individual image, I get the crisp preview. What gives? I thought  that clearing the cache meant clearing all of the cache? I can live with  this.   All cache is not created equal.
    There is the central cache which is the main cache and you can purge it in the cache window.  If you have cache exported to folders that cache is not purged.  To purge both cache you need to go to Tools/cache/purge cache for xxx folder.
    If you get no preview for CR2  files you probably have either no Camera Raw (ACR), have more than  one ACR or have ACR in wrong folder.
    Open PS and in Help click on about plug-ins and camera raw.   Will tell you what version you have.  Should be 5.x for CS4.

  • When importing photos from aperture photos are blurry

    I have been making a video and up to now no problems. Then today i was working on it and when i started adding some more photos from aperture they were fuzzy and blurry.
    In aperture they are crisp and clear but the minute i put them in imovie they are blurry and not useable.
    I have imported photos from aperture and iphoto both and had no issues so not sure what is going on today.

    I think I just figured this out.
    Go into Aperture preferences and go to "previews" tab.  Set "photo preview" to "don't limit" and turn the quality all the way up.  Then select all your photos, go to the "photos" menu, hold down the option key and click "generate previews".
    It appears that the library sharing is just using the generated previews from Aperture which default to poor quality.  You need to turn up the quality and then force a re-render of all your previews.  iMovie should pick this up (but won't update your slideshow...).
    Yeah, I'm pretty disappointed by those defaults.   Wasted hours of my time as I rebuilt the slideshow with better versions of my photos.
    Hope that helped.

  • Vector Exports are Blurry

    Hi everyone!
    I have a website. On this website I'm using high resolution GIFs(1080x1000) that are being resized to 270x250(25% the res) to fit the designated area. Those resized GIFs look great and clear when downsized like that!
    Those GIFs at that resolution however, take quite a while to load because of large file sizes. I want to speed up my website by reducing the file size of the GIFs. I am trying to forgo the websites need to scale down my high resolution GIFs and manually resize them myself(1080x1000 Vector > 270x250). When I load up my .EPS vector in Illustrator, it looks fantastic resized down to 270x250. The image retains the sharp and crisp edges.
    When exported and placed the new image on my website however, the image is blurry and lacks detail. It looks especially poor when contrasted against the high resolution downsized GIF I mentioned earlier.
    How can I obtain the same sharp detail of the large GIFs on my manually resized GIFs?
    My Website:
    www.brylecuff.com
    - Exemplifies my problem using the Vinyl GIF and static Vinyl image.

    Thank you for the response!
    I believe your comment may be misguided. My website is downscaling a full resolution GIF(1080x1000) down to 270x250. That downscaled image looks fantastic and full of detail at that reduced resolution. If your assessment of this situation was correct, that downscaled image would look blurry because "There are simply not enough pixels to store the information". That is not the case because it looks great!
    I want to achieve the same results by resizing that full resolution manually(not automatically done by the website). How can I do this?

  • You can't open the application "Adobe InDesign CS4" because it is not supported on this architecture"

    A day or two ago I went through installing Adobe InDesign CS4 on Leopard OS X.5.8.  After what appears to be a successful installati
    on, in launching InDesign CS4 the message " You can't open the application "Adobe InDesign CS4" because it is not supported on this
    architecture" comes up".  Calling in to support and speaking with the agent who read through previous posts, suggested to me that I
    should try the same fix that has been suggested when I ran across an error when installing Adobe InDesign CS4 on another separate ha
    rd drive externally connected to this computer running Snow Leopard OS X.6.1 for the error reading: "Damaged &/or incomplete install
    ation" when launching afterwards.  The support technician told me to first delete with the uninstall Adobe InDesign CS4, InDesign.
    Following this I am told to run the CS4 Cleanup Utility.  I restart the computer each and every time after running each of the utili
    ties.  Now I am told to install InDesign as a trial version from the DVD and after installation to go ahead & enter the serial numbe
    r.  When launching InDesign CS4 after installation got back the same error as before: "You can't open the application "Adobe InDesig
    n CS4" because it is not supported on this architecture" comes up".  Followed KB404711 article and no success.  What else can be don
    e to fix this issue?
    This morning contacted Adobe Support regarding this response:
    After having a detailed reserach on your issue i acme to the conclusion
    that the problem you are having is not related to Adobe software but its
    in fact related to your MAC version ( OSX-5.8). While reseraching your
    issue i came across
    to many forums where a lot of postings were about the similar error but
    with different products the only comon thing was all the Errors were
    with Mac machine , also when you check the system requirements  for
    Adobe Indesign Cs4
    by going to the following link
    http://www.adobe.com/products/indesign/systemreqs/?promoid=DRHXE  you
    will find the Mac OS version supported are from Mac OS X
    v10.4.11–10.5.4. but we do support Snow Leoprad , so i would like
    to advise to you to either contact your system manufacturer or upgrade
    to Snow Leopard ( mac os x 10.6)
    I have been told that my case is being sent to Level 2 agents and that it can take 24-48 hours for a response.  In the meantime I decided to see what the Support Forums can do for me.  Until then I am down.  Thanks for the help.

    In the application folder there is a folder 'Adobe InDesign CS4' within which there is just the application file. I would expect there should be more file there??
    I've un-installed and installed again - still the same.
    Even downloaded the dmg again and done thwe whole thing over again.

  • I recently received my new iPhone 4 from my carrier since my old one was stolen. I restored my new iPhone from my old iPhones iCloud back up but now all the pictures that were stored in my old phone are blurry in my new phone. Please help!

    Luckily, using the "Find My iPhone" app, I was able to scare the thieves into bringing my iPhone back to the place they stole it from (Dave and Busters..on my BIRTHDAY OF ALL DAYS). So now, $169 later (deductible for replacement iPhone), I have both my 1st iPhone and my replacement. On my first iPhone, I have all of my pictures saved and they are very clear, but when I restored my replacement iPhone from my original iPhones iCloud backup, all the pictures that I took in my original iPhone are blurry! I thought about backing up my original iPhone through iTunes and then resetting my replacement iPhone and restoring it from my original iPhones settings but I dont want to lose all of my new pictures I took. I know this sounds confusing (well, it looks confusing, since you cant actually hear me) but I could use all the help I can get!

    No such thing has occurred.  iPhones do not backup to one another.
    It is not possible to backup a different iPhone from the one being updated.
    If the iPhone was restored with a backup from a different device, restore it again from the correct backup.

    Pay attention when restoring the iPhone and select the correct backup to restore from.

  • Dreamweaver CS4 Errors, Spry widget not working. Please Help!

    I am redesigning a website and downloaded an html file from the present contact page. I opened it in Dreamweaver and I started to have this errors. The html file I opened has some JavaScripts in it and I believe, the the scripts got a conflict with Dreamweaver CS4. I already deleted these files I tried to open and still I'm encountering these errors.
    These are the errors I'm getting:
    1. When I open the Dreamweaver, this message pop-ups:
       "While executing onLoad in RecordsetFind.htm, the following JavaScript error(s) occured:
        In file "RecordsetFind"
        findRs is not defined."
    2. I click OK. Then I'm getting this message:
       "While executing onLoad in Design Notes_onOpen.htm, the following JavaScript error(s) occured:
        In file "Design Notes_onOpen"
        onOpen is not defined."
    3. I just click OK. Then, when I open an html file to edit or create a new one, this error pops up again:
       "While executing onLoad in Design Notes_onOpen.htm, the following JavaScript error(s) occured:
        In file "Design Notes_onOpen"
        onOpen is not defined."
    4. I will again just click OK, then this error appears:
       "The following translators were not loaded due to errors:
        Coldfusion.htm: has configuration information that is invalid.
        SpryWidget.htm: has configuration information that is invalid."
    5. Then, I will just click OK again. Then, when I'm working with the projects or creating a new project with Spry, it is not working properly anymore. I have to go the code and update the Spry list or content manually.
    6. When I close Dreamweaver, I'm always having this error:
       "While executing onLoad in TeamAdminTempDelete.html, the following JavaScript error(s) occured:
        In file "TeamAdminTempDelete"
        delTempFile is not defined"
    I tried uninstalling the Dreamweaver and installing it again, but it did not work.
    What should I do to make the spry working again and to remove all these annoying errors? By the way, all my Spry widgets are not working and these errors I'm encountering in all of the Sites I'm working on. How can I make it work again? I tried looking for troubleshoot in CS4, but I could not see one, only in CS3.
    Please help.

  • When I send a newsletter as a pdf the photos are blurry.

    When I send my newsletter made with Pages as a pdf the photos all look very blurry. I tried larger size files and same problem. I sent the original template with the Apple default photos and they are blurry as well. I've only looked at them on our two computers, both Macs. I size my photos no larger than 800 pixels on the longest side @72dpi. I have received a pdf newsletter made with Pages from someone else, and the photos look fine.

    Are you using the shadow tool in your document ?

    How do I save a PDF ready for print. I have a problem with the fonts. The fonts are blurry after printing. There is a trick in saving PDF.

    Hi el_giclee,
    Important to note from the beginning is that when you create your Photoshop document make sure you chose 300 Pixels/inch as your resolution.
    I'm interested in seeing your Save Adobe PDF dialog box after you choose to save the PDF.
    Could you post a screenshot of this dialog box with the Compression menu selected on the left side?
    It's a good idea to select High Quality Print or Press Quality in the Adobe PDF Preset menu at the top of this box. It will automatically select the best default settings for a printed piece.
