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....
Mark

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.

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

Resaving pdfs and image quality

I have clients submit ads as pdfs but sometimes I need to recreate the pdf because the client forgot to include all printer marks, or I need to convert a spot to process, or whatever. The way I do it is to create a new InDesign CS3 file, place the pdf file into it, and export to pdf using my preset. My question is does importing a pdf file into ID and then exporting back into pdf affect image quality, even slightly assuming the compression settings are the same in the export to pdf' dialog box - mainly all compression set to none?
Thanks.
-Mark

New Bie:
Many of the adjustments you want to make can be done to the PDF within Acrobat if you have the Acrobat Professional version.
Such as: convert colors, add printers marks and change Page Box sizes.
You'll find these tools under the "Advanced" menu > "Print Production"
And also under the "Document" menu > Crop Pages > Change Page Size

Editing and image quality in Lightroom

Hello all,
I am a new Lightroom user (Lightroom 5) and I've watched several tutorial videos and I've had a lot of fun playing around with the program. I've noticed that Lightroom is said to be "non-destructive" when it comes to editing. Apparently, you can do all the editing you want to an image (i.e. adjusting exposure, cropping, etc.) and there is no loss of image quality as you edit. Is this correct?
I would hate to think that my tinkering around with the editing tools results in loss of image quality each time I change something. ("Hmm, I like that exposure. Now let me adjust shadows. No....that doesn't look right when I do that. I'll just change the exposure a bit more...."! I intend to put photos onto an image hosting site and present them, so I want the quality to be the best it can be!
I appreciate any help anyone can offer.
Cheers,
Tom

I know of no image editing software that causes loss of image quality when you make an edit. Editing steps simply cause a change to the image based on the edit you perform, not a loss of quality. This is true of Lightroom and every other image editor that I know of.
If you choose to save (or in Lightroom do an export) as a JPG, then there is a loss of image quality each time you perform a save as a JPG. If you need to have a JPG of your edited photo for some reason, then this loss of image quality is unavoidable, but in most cases you won't even notice. Thus, in Lightroom, creating a JPG from the edited photo is the LAST step in the process, thereby minimizing the image quality loss.

Exporting and retaining quality

Hi there.
I'm having some issues exporting from Premiere Pro CS5 and retaining image quality. Rather than retype the problem could I ask you to have a look at the following blog post where I break down the problems I'm having and give some examples.
http://www.pauljoy.com/2010/12/hdslr-encoding-wars-premiere-pro-vs-final-cut-pro/
I know there are a lot of options / settings during the encode process that effect the quality of the output and I have tried various combinations including both 1 pass and 2 pass VBR encodes as well as MXF and other transfer protocols but so far have not achieved an export that retains the quality thats shown within the NLE. I guess my ultimate question would be, what codec / settings would you use to achieve maximum export quality?
Any thoughts or tips on ways to retain more quality in the encoded files would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards
Paul.
EDIT: Should also give some system specs
Mac OS10.6
12 core 2.93
16GB RAM
SSD Drives
Nvidia Quadro 4000 (MPE Hardware enabled)
Latest update for PP CS5 installed

what codec / settings would you use to achieve maximum export quality?
Uncompressed, Lagarith, UT or any other lossless codec. Anything else will incur some amount of degradation.

Help with exporting and image size or boundaries?

I am trying to slide the cat into the scene a little at a time foir an animation project I am working on. However, when I export the image the back ground of the image expands with a checkered back ground( showing here in white) and shows the whole cat.
How do I just show a little of the cat on the image at a time when exporting. I am trying to give the impression that the cat is walking into the room. I do not want to have to cut the cat up.
I would be thankful for any suggestions.

IPhoto is changing resolution and image quality

I am currently and for the first time using iPhoto 6 to produce a book - a feature within the application. I have edited my images in Photoshop, some have not needed to be so they have simply been saved as either high-res JPGS or TIFFS. On importing them into iPhoto selected images are downsizing and stating that they are not big enough to print - this I know is not true as they are adequatley large enough for printing to A0 minimum at 300 dpi. There are also a select few that are changing in image quality - the colours are looking either bleached out or over-exposed and they have lost their original quality. When opening the exact files in Photoshop they are correctly exposed, perfect colours, sizes etc. If I am to try and 'retouch' them within iPhoto I can resume some of their quality but it seems through the transition into importing inot the application they are being corrupted.
Can anyone assist me as its driving me mad!!!
Thanks

What is the color space of the photos in photoshop?
In iPhoto Preferences, Advanced, do you have it set to add ColorSync Profile?
BTW, the 72 ppi (pixels per inch) is irrelevant. iPhoto defaults to reporting 72 ppi because that is a typical screen resolution. What's important is the total pixel dimensions of the image, and whether that size gives you an adequate dpi (dots per inch) when printed at the designated print size. So, while the image looks great on-screen in photoshop, that doesn't mean that it will be adequate for printing in a book. But you are right - you shouldn't see a significant shift in color when importing into iPhoto.
Regards.

IWeb and image quality of Photoshop jpegs

i am constructing a website consisting of my photography... with color shots i am noticing a dramatic 'flattening' of the vivid nature of my shots in iWeb as opposed to how they appear on photoshop... i believe i have followed the photoshop process properly... so there would be an image now at 72 ppi about 6 inches by four inches as a jpeg looking pretty vivid in photoshop on my screen. when i bring this over, via iPhoto, into iWeb image quality is lost... of note as well though is that this image does not look to hot in iPhoto as well... not sure then what forum this question belongs in... any quidance at all is appreciated.

hi Tomas... thanks for your response... i did drag a photo from my finder directly into iweb and within the iweb program it looked great but as soon as i published i lost saturation... odd... so i can avoid iphoto now, which is great, but something is happening in the process still... i have turned off the iweb image optimization and played with tiffs and jpegs within photoshop to try to get the final image to come out as intended... if you have any other suggestion please let me know... thanks again for your post... i will check out your link.

Screen protectors and image quality

I have a screen protector on my 3G and thinking about getting one for my iPhone 4. How you guys liking them so far? I am worried about it degrading the image quality of the new high res screen.
Tom

I've had every iPhone since it came out & I've never used a screen protector. I've never once ever had even the slightest tiny little scratch. That's not to say though that the screen on the ip4 will have the same luck bc I know it's not the same plus, in addition, I know the back is glass also & it's exposed due to the design of the bumper, which is my personal choice at this time.
I do wonder what the future will hold in reference to the other companies design for the new phone like Ncase, Griffith, Frogz, etc.??? They may come up with the clear plastic type snap on cases on different colors or variations of smoke colored to clear plastic. This way we can still see the phone, especially if you prefer the white if they ever start selling them, & it will be protected at the same time. Only problem is with those cases is u have to keep the touch pad exposed for use & you would still need a screen protector if this model does indeed scratch. Better than nothing though. I still wonder if it will scratch. I am HORRIBLE at putting on those screen protectors. No matter what I do I get bubbles etc. Used a credit card & started one end very slowly & it comes out looking ********. I KNOW that I NEVER had ANY scratched on my ip3Gs & the glass is the same as the iPad.

Yet another question about exporting and video quality

Kind people,
I know this question has been asked many, many times, and I have searched and read up of the topic, but I would also like to ask it.
I shot my video on a Canon Vixia HF10, downloaded it to Final Cut Express to edit, exported it as Quick Time Movie, dropped it in iDVD, then played it on my TV and the quality was…..not good. The video was a little fuzzy and there were ghosts. Are there any settings I should go back and check in iDVD.
Wolfgang

Hi(Bonjour)!
What is the format recorded by this camera?
How did you capture/ingest your video material in FCE?
What was your sequence format in timeline?
How did you export your sequence (specify exact steps, menus and command)?
What was your iDVD project settings?
What was the iDVD quality setting?
Did you monitor your DVD on computer screen or TV set?

What is the definition of image quality in this context?

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.'

Printing and Image Quality

Hello,
I was wondering if there is a place that I could find out how to use the printing functionality of the Java API other than the tutorials here on sun. We've got some printable objects in our program, but when we try to take the screenshots and print them out, the quality is very shoddy. What I want to be able to do is to get almost exactly what the image on the screen is and be able to print it with as good of quality as is on the computer screen. Are there any good tutorials out there, (or example good or bits of advice) that might help me do this? Thank you very much, and happy new year!

While that is quite useful, the problem is that I need to resize the component I'm trying to fit, and in some cases edit the image before printing, so that the image gets somewhat distorted. Right now we've just been using getImageableX() and getImageableWidth() and those methods to draw the component onto the thing we are going to print. Is there a better way to deal with resizing?

Exporting and dvd quality

I have built an hd project in premiere using the AVCHD settings. When I go to export my project, I export it using the h.264 export templete using CBR at 8 to 9 on the sliders and everything else I leave as is. My exported video is great on my 23" LCD monitor being played through media player. It covers the entire screen and is crystal clear. When I go to build my dvd in encore, I let encore select the best encoding option and build my dvd. When I insert the dvd in my players, the result is not near the quality as my computer playing it in media player. It doesn't fill the screen nor is the quality there. I have played it in a Toshiba HD dvd player as well as a Panasonic Blue Ray with the same results. I thought maybe it was something encore was doing in the conversion, so I used TMPGEnc Authoring Works 4 to build my dvd. The quality was somewhat better, but still had the black letterbox around the video.
What am I doing wrong or is there something I can do different?
I am using CS5 premiere and encore.
William

Hi William,
I would have to ask why you are exporting to H.264, if intending to make a DVD? Then you are creating an extra compression step in the process, taking an already compressed file and then recompressing to MPEG-2 for DVD.
From Premiere, use Adobe Media Encoder and choose an "MPEG-2 for DVD" format, with "NTSC Widescreen High Quality" preset (or PAL, as applicable). If working with Progressive source footage, then of course choose a Progressive preset.
Set the data rate according to program length, with your choice of CBR or VBR, and be sure to check the "Maximum Render Quality" button at the bottom, as this helps with the downscale quality. Rule of thumb is 560/minutes=data rate, not to exceed 8 for video stream. Maybe round result down just a bit for safety margin.
In Encore, use "Import as Timeline" and import the resulting .m2v video and .wav audio files. Any chapter marks in Premiere will also come in automatically.

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.. )
