Export: lose image quality?

if i export my photos as originals (chosen from the drop down menu on the export popup window), will i lose any photo quality? i am hoping that the exported photo will have the same quality as the photo stored in iphoto. thanks!

right. and if you select 'current' i would assume that it would export the current version of the photo byte for byte without any quality loss as well?
i thought this was probably how it worked...just wanted to be sure because when selecting either option (original or current), the quality drop down menu is not available shows 'medium.'

I need help in German!!! (export lose image quality)

Wenn ich von meinen Fotos ein Poster bestellen will, kommt die Meldung vom Fotolabor, dass die Qualität nicht brauchbar ist. Dies, obwohl die Fotos alle scharf sind. Habe es inzwischen mit einem Poster versucht, dass ich schon einmal bestellt habe. Damals kam die Meldung über die Qualität als 'optimal' zurück und jetzt fürs gleiche Poster als 'unmöglich'. Dies ist meiner Meinung nach, erst seit dem vorletzten Update von iPhoto. Kann mir jemand in Deutsch helfen???? Besten Dank!

hi kelli, erst einmal Herzlich Willkommen bei den  boards ...
Ich wurde 'hinter den Kulissen' zu Hilfe gerufen, weil sich hier nur recht wenige Deutschsprachige tummeln.. meine Domäne ist ein ganz anderes Programm (iMovie) und mit Bildbestellungen aus iPhoto hab ich leider keine eigenen Erfahrungen..
Wir haben jetzt hier zwei Möglichkeiten:
ich dolmetsche..
oder verweise Dich auf ein Deutschsprachiges forum (da tummel ich mich auch als k_munic): macuser.de ..
Zunächst mal müssten wir ein paar Eckdaten wissen, .. was ist die Quelle des Bildes? Kannst Du in iPhoto/Apfel-I mal drücken, uns ein paar Daten zur 'Auflösung' geben? Und schließlich wie aus iPhoto heraus 'bestellst' Du? Ich vermute mal stark, dass da beim Export 'was schief läuft.. (denn wenn's vorher ging...)
== english version ==
me no expert in iPhoto nor ordering prints.. :
kelli did allready ordered a 'high quality print out' with that specific photo, and got from the print service the feed 'file is excellent'... now, trying to place a 2nd order, 'same' file got a 'not usable for print/low quality' ..
I assumed, somthing got wrong in the workflow 'from within iPhoto to service' and asked kelli for some details..
if you like to join, I try to translate (and send kelli to a German speaking site.. )

Flash Export and Image Quality

When I place Illustrator CSx eps files in my keynote presentations and then export to flash it really chews up the images. You would think vector images would fair the best but the lines are very jagged making the presentation look very ugly.
Does anyone have any tips on improving this? I've tried PNG,jpg, etc.. the images I'm using are line art (e.g. diagrams) but it doesn't seem to help using other file formats.
I don't understand why there is no compression control available for flash export....

edit your image in photoshop and experiment with various settings/size. there's no magic high quality small file size setting.
it's a trade-off. the higher the quality and the greater the image dimensions, the greater the file size. you have to decide where those are acceptable.

Interlacing, blurred photos, exporting lose of quality

Hello all,
I am beginning to feel a little frustrated with FCE and iDVD. I used to make all of my movies in iMovie and then export to iDVD with very few issues. I upgraded to FCE a year ago and have loved the additional features it provides. However, I have a few frustrations with my projects that I am hoping to find answers for.
1. Imported photos in FCE are blurry during first moment or two of viewed duration, and then focuses properly for remainder of duration. Why does happen and how can I fix it. (If I create a slideshow in iPhoto and then import it into FCE, the issue goes away, but I'd like to eliminate going through iPhoto)
2. It seems that when I import my videos into FCE there is a lost of quality. There is further lose when exported out of FCE. I have tired exporting using Quicktime Conversion and Quicktime Movie. Using Quicktime Movie and self containing the video seems to work best.
3. iDVD, even when set to Professional Quality, still has interlacing issues upon burning a disc. After hours and hours of working to get a video to iDVD in acceptable quality, it is very frustrating to now be able to play the DVD on a large TV. I've tried exporting from FCE in different resolutions, sizes, etc, but iDVD still seems to have issues with burning the final product. Even if it looks great in the preview, it still comes out terrible on the DVD.
Any help on these issues would be great. Thank you in advance.

What format are you working in? What are the item properties of your clips and of the sequence in which you're editing?
1. This is a very complex subject. First, are you looking at the rendered output on a video monitor? Have the graphics been prepared for video display? Have you done a forum search about this?
2. Assuming your sequence settings are correct you export to QuickTime Movie.
3. If you're working in an interlaced format your media is supposed to be interlaced and viewed on a television set.

Losing Image quality when saving to JPeg and posting on line! Please Help.

Hi,
I recently got a new computer. I use CS3 to edit. For some reason, whenever I resize the image, save it as a Jpeg and post it to the web, it loses image quality. Severely. I've never had this problem before....until this new computer.
I usually resize the image to 800, then simply click on Save as Jpeg. Once I resize, it looks fine CS3, but NOT online.
Just a picture of my kid. No critiques please! : )

For blog software, you will have to look under Manage under your admin account. There's an option to define the maximum image size for previews (inline images) and medium image sizes. if they are set to samll, the software will resize them, yet the theme you use may scale them up again to full column width, so they look mooshy. Make sure the image size in the settings panel matches the images you upload. For Facebook it may be similar, but I won't rule out that eitehr of the two services frcibly will change your images to save bandwidth. This should be stated in their terms of use somewhere. If you're merely referring to color shifts, you may wish to check your default color settings and the Embed color profile and Preserve RGB options in the Save for web and Devices dialog.

Export to PDF loses image resolution in CS5

I am creating some artwork in Photoshop CS5 at 72dpi. the work is crystal clear.
I then place the file as a jpeg or as photoshop file and again in InDesign the image looks great.
If I then export to PDF the artwork goes very fuzzy in Adobe Reader.
At the file type I am selecting - PDF (Interactive) rather than (print) and the following options are selected below.
I have tried changing the values but may not have reached the right combination.
The main reason I am confused is that when using illustrator my vector artwork never loses quality in PDF format....
Can a PDF be created without image quality loss???
Many thanks
Max

It won't arise for you now that you've set the Reader to be viewed at 72 ppi.
But if you send that to me it will look very blurry as I have mine set to 110ppi.
You could have saved the images as 96 ppi and it would have looked perfect in Acrobat.
But the whole point is that will look different depending on who's viewing it and what their setting is.
You personally shouldn't have a problem anymore using 72 ppi images, there is no need to save higher res images for yourself. But keep in mind that if you are sending this to someone else their Reader will be set to most likely 96 ppi. So perhaps you should consider using 96 ppi images or 150 ppi images in future.

How to export a fireworks file to flash while retaining image quality?

I created a banner for our website using fireworks cs3. Part of the banner has aimation (basically a slide show of 6 photos). I've tried to export the files by saving the frams to files, but when I do this, the image quality really gets bad. When I try to change the export settings and change the dither, everything but the last frame looks better and the last frame looks like a yellow color is splattered all over it....I've tried just saving the file as an .swf file but when I do so, the file doesn't work when I insert it into my web page, it doesn't work. Is there a better way to do this? Can I export as something else then import into flash and still retain my image quality? Thanks for any input and help!

How are you inserting the file?
Flash objects need to be placed in an object tag...as described here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/415/tn_4150.html

Export panel bridge cs5 - image quality only to 10

Hi
Is anyone else having problems with the image quality settings in the image options. It cannot seem to save the max setting of 12 it only save jpegs at 10.
Any suggestions, Thanks Andy

I had the exact same issue - except mine is limiting it to a maximum of 8
The workaround I found is to build the export profile exactly as you would like it - and let it pick whatever number it wants (8 or 10) - ignore the words of Low/High/Maximum - those just correlate to the 8 or 10 (or 12)
12 is the true maximum for the JPG export and once you run it - there is a noticeable file size increase and the images are a higher quality.
Once you have the profile built, go into the folder "Export Presets"
Macintosh HD > Users > YourUsername > Library > Application Support > Adobe > Bridge CS5 > Export Presets
Open up the file that matches the same name as what you created inside bridge
The file will likely open as an .xml file inside dreamweaver (or another XML editor)
find the line:
<imageQuality>8</imageQuality>
and set what the system set as an 8 (or a 10) to a 12
<imageQuality>12</imageQuality>
save the file and run the export again.
You will have what were 2-4MB JPG files becoming 8-12MB files with a quality of 12/Maximum
Hope that helps

!! Exporting SWF file in PDF reduces image quality.

Hello,
I have a file with many multi-state picture frames and buttons for them. I export it in pieces in SWF format, then I put the SWF's back in the document as a new layer and export as interactive PDF. Finally everything worked fine, except that PDF opens in a larger then normal zoom and when zooming in on pictures the quality is very poor I am guessing 72ppi at the intended zoom. I check the SWF file and see that its image quality is good when zoomed, so the problem is with the way the PDF has exported the SWF.
notes: I made sure the settings were to export at 300ppi and high image quality. When I take a single multi-state frame with its associated button and export to SWF then PDF the image quality is maintained.... however I have over 150 image frames, so I rather not export them individually. Please, please reply... any suggestions will be gratefully excepted.

InDesignCC. How to keep image quality with exporting Interactive PDF?

Hello everyone, I'm using InDesign CC, I'm exporting a PDF that has PNG images, the problem is that I'm loosing the sharpness and the pureness in the images after exporting the file into PDF Interactive... the Settings I'm using for Image Handling are Compression: Automatic , JPEG Quality: Maximum, Resolution PPI: 300..
The file size is "Letter" with web Intent (792px x 612px) the images I'm using are big and have great quality, can anyone tell me how I export into PDF interactive without loosig images quality? I want to keep this pureness and sharpness in the images
Thanks in advance

It depends on the image. Best way for us to advise you is to open your image, then go to Image > Image Size and upload a screen capture of the Image Size box with the readings.
What you might have working against you is not enough pixels. Upsampling may just make it blurred. But we will see.
300 ppi is also not carved in stone, you may get away with 200 ppi depending on where you are sending it for printing.
And lastly, if you are paying a commercial printer to do this, it's best to consult with them and see what they can do.

Poor image quality on exported version

I am trying to export versions of my photos to a folder on my external drive. Every time I do this the resulting jpg is washed out and has poor resolution + a ton of noise. The resulting image is substantially lighter than the images in my aperture window, yet the histogram does not indicate that the images should be that light or washed out.
The images are all starting as RAW images. The export settings are for image quality 12, 300 dpi, sRGB, original jpg. I have onscreen proofing turned on and set to sRGB. My print lab said that the image quality could be 10, but when they looked so horrible I bumped them up.
I had Aperture for a long time before upgrading to Aperture 2 in March. From March to August I did not have any problems, so this is a more recent problem. I have not yet upgraded to Snow Leopard. Please help!!! Thanks!!!

Hi
a. make a DiskImage first and test this with Apple DVD-player.
(File menu and down "Make a DiskImage")
b. I only use streamingDV - no .m4v or like (may be it works - I don't know)
else
*Not knowing the origin to Your problem - 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
• Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Delete iDVD pref file - *or rather start a new user/account* - log into this and re-try
iDVD pref file resides. Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences and is named.
com.apple.iDVD.plist
While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iDVD.
• Program miss-match. iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
• Program miss-match. iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match. iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
• Try a Cleaning CD/DVD that cleans the laser lens on the DVD burner/player
iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
Last resort. from Craig. Solved the problem!! Finally!!
I deleted every iDVD application and folder from my boot drive,
emptied the trash and then installed iDVD 08 using the customize option
and I am up and running.
If You do a re-install be sure to get rid of all iDVD old parts AND then EMPTY the Trash-basket !
Yours Bengt W

Image quality in ePub exports from Pages

Something changed in ePub exports of images recently, or in iBooks' rendering of them. Now they are fuzzy when double-tapped and enlarged. Originally (at beginning of iBooks) they popped up looking quite crisp.
Oddly, I can still get crisp images with double-tap if I export an ePub file from Scrivener, and import it into iBooks—using the same images I'm used in Pages.
Does this make any sense? Have others noticed this change in image quality?

Just for the sake of clearness - InDesign 5.0 = InDesign CS3
InDesign CS5 = InDesign 7.0.x
I suppose you are talking about InDesign CS5 and not something older.

Crystal Reports Developer 11 - image quality in exported pdf file

I need to create a report with many images and export it to a pdf file. The image quality in the pdf file is slightly lower than in the rpt file. Can someone tell me how to increase the image quality in pdf file?
Thanks,
Hong

This document explains how to increase the image resolution when exporting:

But it's for Crystal Enterprise 8.0, do you know if Crystal Reports 11 will work the same way?

Poor image quality in export to powerpoint

When I export a presentation to powerpoint format, the image quality of some elements is poor. Is there any way to preserve the image quality upon export?

Hello Ido:
Here is a paste of the last communication I had over email with Fergus:
When using photoshop, save the files a BMPs.
When .jpg image is inserted into Crystal Reports it is converted into bitmap format and as the
result of the conversion the report may loose some quality and scale.
When an image is saved as a .bmp, then there is no conversion required and thus the quality
of the image should be preserved.
Best practice: save the image with high resolution and required size as a .bmp format then
insert this image into Crystal Reports.
One more thing. Many people like to use jpg files as they are smaller than bmp files. However,
as far as Crystal Reports is concerned, this is inconsequential. The report file will be the same
size if a file is inserted as a jpg or a bmp. This is due to the jpg conversion to bmp Crystal Reports
does internally.
I am not sure if that helped, but Fergus did say that he was going to adjust his approach to how he handles the images. Hopefully that did help. And many thanks for bringing up the Fergus thread. I'll update it with the above info.
