Distorted images???

I've just restarted aperture today and on the timeline all the thumbnail images that are portrait/upright in shape have distorted. If I click on them they gradually become normal but does anyone know why aperture is doing this and what I can do to get them all back to normal??

I am experiencing distorted images too, but my problem seems to be restricted to just some of the images from one download - all in the same project. I am keen to attempt the suggested solution above (ie generate thumbnails), but since I have just over 210,000 images in this library wonder will this solution work if I just select the photos in the affected project.
Any advice??

Photoshop CC distorted image when zoomed out. Text, edges and Straight lines.

I get this distorted image when working on a file. When I zoom in its fine. But as soon as I zoom out all the lines, text , and edges start to become distorted. I've checked that all my drivers are up to date. I've re installed photoshop and still the same thing. Any Suggestions. ( files look fine when saved or exported, this just happens while Im working )

That looks like a Moiré pattern. Did you scan the image?
If not, can you tell us what operating system?
And is your video card driver fully up to date from the maker's website?

My i phone 4 screen suddenly starts showing funny and distorted images then goes blank. how do i get the screen back to normal.?

my i phone screen starts blinking and showing funny and distorted images before going blank. now it's blank,how do i get it back to normal.?

Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data, but a reset can cure some glitches.
If this does not work, try to set it up as new device, explained in this article:
How to back up your data and set up as a new device
Don't use the backup afterwards, to rule out a software problem. If the camera is working again, restore from the backup.

FCE/DVD Slideshows - Distorted Images

Despite reading the many posts regarding pixel aspect ratios and distorted images, I remain very confused about how to solve my problem.
I use FCE to create slideshows on DVD from still photos, but try as I might, I cannot figure out how to avoid the distorted (squashed) images in the finished DVD.
I use Lightroom and/or Photoshop to edit the images, then simply import them to FCE. I export the slideshow using Quicktime Conversion, H.264 Compression, Dimensions of 1442x1080. I use iDVD to convert the QT movie to DVD, for viewing on a widescreen TV.
I've tried the different options in QT Conversion to preserve the aspect ratio, to no avail. Most recently, I used Photoshop to change the pixel aspect ratio to 0.9 in the jpeg files, but that seemed to make no difference in the distortion.
I would very much appreciate any help you could offer.
Thanks,
DBennett

I export the slideshow using Quicktime Conversion, H.264 Compression, Dimensions of 1442x1080. I use iDVD to convert the QT movie to DVD, for viewing on a widescreen TV.
This is a significant part of the problem. If you intend to make DVDs then you must export from FCE to QuickTime Movie. DO NOT export to QuickTIme Conversion. While useful for many things, QT Conversion is not useful for transferring your video to iDVD or other DVD authoring tool.
And as has been mentioned above, if you want your photos to fill a widescreen TV (ie, 16x9) then you need to start by creating a sequence using one of the highdef Easy Setups in FCE. I'd recommend either one of the 720p30 or 1920x1080i60 Easy Setups. (1440x1080 is an anamorphic Easy Setup and is probably also a source of your distortion.) Of course, your images must also be 16:9 aspect ratio if they are to fill the screen. Don't scale up the images once they are in FCE. As for image size, 1x to 2x the video frame size (in pixels) seems to be the sweet spot unless you are using a Ken Burns type of effect and need to pan across a very large surface area.

Right click on anything opens a distorted image of the website and options are not visible.

Please help! Every time I right click options are not shown and instead I'm greeted with a distorted image of the current website. This happens when I want to open a link on another tab and when I go onto the firefox settings in the top left corner. When I go in the options in the top left corner, instead of an image of the website, a magnified image of what I clicked appears. This doesn't allow me to see the options and if I'm lucky and move around the mouse they appear for a second and the image reappears. Please help! I've erased Firefox and reinstalled it and nothing, the problem still persists. Thanks for helping! :)

Distorted images in internet explorer, chrome, and firefox

Hello everyone.
it's my first time writing in a forum.i have just bought a dell notebook inspiron 15 which i upgrated from windows 8 to windows 8.1. (First time working with windows 8.) i'm having distorted images at some sites, double or blurry either in internet explorer
firefox or chrome. also very often i'm getting an error message that the web page cannot be viewed(in explorer) and in firefox that i should communicate with the web page in order to inform them that . when i refresh the page loads normally..so why does that
happen..is there a problem with the browsers or are the websites outdated?
In addition, web players other than youtube, like for example JWplayer start playing for a moment and then stop.After refreshing they stop at the same spot. i have the latest update of adobe flash and no problem with my internet connection.
thank you in advance
Anna, Greece
p.s i should note that i'm not very used in computer language so a simple explanation will be very welcomed. :)

Hi，
This pages all display fine in my PC, for IE, you can click Tools\Internet Options\Advanced, then under "Accelerated graphics" enable or disable hardware acceleration to check for hardware or software compatibility issues with viewing certain Internet websites.
Or under "Multimedia", enable automatic image resizing, check the result.
or clear browser history, temporary internet files, tools\internet options\general\delete... or reset IE as a test.
These are solutions for IE, since this issue happend on all browsers, I guess that it might be related with your video card--hardware device, if so, it's recommended to take this pc to a local shop to repair it.

Sometimes restarting iMovie helps.
But things seem to have gone worse.
Help appreciated.

Think I've seen this too - several Years ago.
General approach when in trouble is as follows.*
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
I have 829 GB specifically to address this limitation.
Delete iMovie pref file
and is named. *com.apple.iMovie.plist *
While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iMovie.
Did this to no positive effect. same problem persists
Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
Did this. Still no fix.
• Garageband-fix. Start it, Play a note and Close it. Re-try (Corrects an audio problem that hinders iMovie)
Never use Garageband. so bypassed this for now.
Screen must be set to Million-colors
Check
Third party plug-ins that doesn't work OK (not relevant for iMovie’08 or 09)
That would be unfortunate and somewhat difficult to locate, I think.
iMovie updated ?
I didn't know there was a 6.0.4. Looking for a download now.
QuickTime updated ?
Have QT 7.6.4 installed
Mac OS version ?
10.4.11
All that being said and done, I think I determined the problem.
i.e. IMAGE SIZE.
Typically, I downsize & export images from iPhoto to a separate file and drag them from that file to the Clips or Timeline. Recently, being lazy I was trying to import directly from iPhoto via iMovie's Media/Photo area.
I think iMovie just doesn't like large files, because when I followed my previous procedure, it seems to work without the corruption.
Experience of others would be interesting.
thanks again for your help

Reflections and Distorted images - How?

Hi,
I've seen quite a few flash files out there mimicing the
apple 'cover flow' so I know this is possible....
What I want is to have an image in a movieclip (which I will
load in dynamically from an xml file...) - I'll then animate this
cip onto the stage from the side (simple transition). All pretty
straight forward, but I also want to have the image slightly
distorted - as if its slightly rotated in 3d - and also have
relfection underneath.
Does anyone know an easy way of doing this? I have found a
reflection class (from pixelfumes) which works well; and is easy. I
did find a distortion class, but the 2 dind't seem to work
together!!
Can anyone help? a couple of simple classes would be better.
Just on a side note - I dont really need to animate the
distortion - simple set it to a specific angle.
Cheers,
Tim

you should apply the distortion first, then apply the
reflection using your own code so there's no problem with code
conflict.
the reflected image will be your distorted image with an
xscale or yscale of -100 with a decreased alpha and translation to
the correct position.

My 2011 early MBP pro 15 freezes at startup with distorted image

My 2011 early MBP pro 15 freezes at startup with distorted image, and sometimes its blank screen, I have also noticed that the machine heats up quickly at the same time.
I got this problem few weeks ago when it is running windows 7 in vitual machine. Firstly I used a software to disable the discrete graphic card and it backed to work for 2 weeks until the OS got an update (might be a firmware update since it required restart). Now it stops working completely.
I have try two hard drive (I have put in a SSD few months ago) and run the command line disk check on both of them, nothing wrong.
I tried to run disk utility/time machine at start-up, distorted screen or just blank
I tried to reinstall rams, did not work.
Any other possible solutions?

MacBook Pro "15 2011 model has started crashing. Symptoms: screen distortion/images fragmenting/blue screening. Help!

Hi everyone!
I currently own a Macbook Pro '15, 4gb that was purchased in early 2011 running Snow Leopard (my version is currently 10.6.8). For under the past 3 year it has been heavily reliable, and I have not ran in to any software, or hardware issues. However, over the past 3 or so months I have been having issues.
During May 2014 through to present date I have started experiencing screen glitches. It first began with image distortion, causing the whole system to crash, which would mean I would have to turn it off and reboot the system. Later this turned into a series of screen blurring (consisting of images fragmenting all over the place) and then finally followed with 2 weeks of blue screening on start up, meaning that I could not get into my log user unless I entered safe mode. I should also mention that I have no third party issues.
After doing some considerable research on apple forums I did what had to be done. In the last two weeks I have wiped my MacBook Pro, re-installed the OS and considered that it was now a process of elimination. For the first week the software seemed to been running smoothly, I wasn't having any failings until I hit the second week – of course, the glitches began all over again and I faced two in the space of a half hour (first my screen split into two during listening to music on spotify with no other applications open in the background, shortly after rebooting I faced a much worse case of my Mac completely dark blue screening with white lines.)
Now, once again, it only works 'well' on safe mode. I did a check in both modes. Left my computer idle with no programmes running for a half hour and the same thing happened with the screen, went black for a moment, moved the mouse and I received a fragmented screen again. I'm completely fed up at this point, considering I have the bare minimal amount on my Mac, I honestly can't fathom how it's come to this.
Now considering my model is not even three years old at this stage you can fully understand my frustration since I heavily rely on my laptop for educational purposes, which is making it very difficult to be able to concentrate on any of my studies. If anything, it is causing a great deal of stress. With my product being out of warranty I don't have an obscene amount of money to pay for a new one. When I already paid roughly £1,699 for the product in the first place.
The worst thing is, I've even done a EtreCheck, this was yesterday (the most recent/last time it was in use)

I've had a look to book an appointment at the Genius Bar, but would you believe it, there are no available appointments at my local store! I really would appreciate if anyone could offer any assistance in how to lodge a formal complaint? My days rely on being able to do my work, so whilst I have tried to book a reservation I am at a loss, and pretty much screwed having a Mac that I clearly cannot use functionally.
If anyone can provide any help, I'd be absolutely most grateful!

I have done what you suggested. However, I have to disagree with you about the 'third party' comment. Although those minor issues were on there which I picked up on shortly afterwards, they were easily removed. It hasn't CHANGED the symptoms I described about my mac. Both items are removed (growl only tends to make your mac 'lag' and that's not the problem I'm having)
I am still having all the above issues, regardless of my mac being fully minus third party items. This mac hasn't had any heavy use, or had many applications installed on it ect, there is really no reason for it to be failing. I'd understand if it was old, but it's literally only just passed being 3 years old.
If you can provide any more help that would be appreciated, thank you!

File Import Error / distorted image CS3 3.2.0 - Blackmagic Uncompressed 10-bit YUV NTSC 4:3

Hi All-
I have been capturing some old VHS tapes using Blackmagic Media Express via a Decklink HD Extreme 2 card (composite in, RCA audio in) and then subsequently editing the files in Premiere Pro CS3 ver. 3.2.0. But I'm running into a strange problem with the image being very distorted upon import into Premiere.
The capture settings in Blackmagic Media Express are as follows: NTSC, Uncompressed 10-bit YUV, 29.97, drop frame. After capture and before editing in Premiere, I watch the capture file in Windows media player and it looks and sounds fine.
When I create a new Premiere project to edit the clip, I use the following preset: Blackmagic Design, NTSC, 10-bit YUV, 4 x 3.
When I import the .avi file created during the media express capture into the new Premiere project, the image becomes extremely distorted. However, if I choose any other preset in Premiere, the image looks OK, which seems strange because the other presets do not match the import file settings. I should note that when I render the distorted looking file out using the Premiere media encoder, the file looks OK.
Any suggestions? I cannot figure out why the video is not importing or showing correctly in Premiere. Help!
Thanks a bunch,
Rex

Has this process EVER produced non-distorted video when imported into Premiere?
If this is a NEW problem, then what has changed since the process last worked properly?
If this is a FIRST TIME process and problem, my guess is a video driver that is not 100% compatible with what you are doing... you provide no other information, so it could be you need a newer (or, sometimes, older) video driver
Windows updates have been known to cause problems
Work through all of the steps (ideas) listed at http://ppro.wikia.com/wiki/Troubleshooting
If your problem isn't fixed after you follow all of the steps, report back with ALL OF THE DETAILS asked for in the FINALLY section, the questions at the end of the troubleshooting link... most especially the codec used... see Question 1

How do I create a reflection in Keynote on a perspective distorted image?

I distorted the image in photoshop but when I bring it into Keynote and apply the Reflection feature the reflection applies as if the image was not distorted.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Welcome to the discussions yellowbike123.
There's a tip on this page
http://www.keynoteuser.com/2007/10/26/keynote-and-leopard-anything-new/
towards the bottom, it goes into how to use the OSX developer tools (Quartz Composer) to convert your image to one that has a perspective reflection. I'm going to check Snow Leopard now to see if it still exists.

Distorted Images in Slideshow when using Philips Screen on Mac Mini

Photos are distorted (horizontally stretched) when a slideshow is run independent from the preferences (tried them all). However, the full screen edit mode displays the images correctly. The problem did not occur with the previous analog screen.
I'm using the following Mac Mini (PowerMac10,2, PowerPC G4 (1.2), 1.33 GHz)
with the latest iPhoto version 6.0.6 under 10.4.9 and with a Philips 200WS 20" screen (DVI port) running the the native resolution of 1680x1080.
Mac Mini G4 1.33 GHz, 1GB Mac OS X (10.4.9) Philips 200WS screen
MacBook 1.83 GHz, 2GB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I actually just encountered the same exact problem today. I've had a Mac Mini connected to a 42" TV for the past 6 months, and I always used ARD to view the screen (rarely via the TV).
Today, I moved the machine to a new location, one which leaves it headless, and now ARD displays a black screen. I don't know if it has to do with the Mini not knowing what resolution to present, since it doesn't have a display connected to it, but it's definitely causing a problem- I no longer have the 42" TV, or any display, for that matter, to use!

Hi @ramses66 ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read about your HP Pavilion 14 Sleekbook and images being distorted or red. Try connecting the notebook to an external monitor with VGA or HDMI. Here is a document to show you how to do that if needed.
If it is you are having issues with a graphics card. If it doesn't happen on an external monitor we dealing with a hardware issue with the display.
