Fonts appears odd, like "out of focus"

Hi,
I have installed FF Beta 4.0 10 in my job PC and in my Vaio laptop with high resolution screen. In the PC doesn't look as before and neither as Chrome looks (sorry...). But in the Vaio looks absolute bad, specially menus, they are not well defined, as "out of focus"...
Here a screenshot:

Thanks!

Afraid not much. There is a sharpen filter, which might help a bit – depending on the footage.
Motion has an Unsharp Mask filter that seems to do a better job – again, depending.
When I have soft images that are important to the story, I explore whether it's possible to use them at reduced scale – on top of a background image – to make the softness less obvious.
Good luck.

  • Movie poster Artwork Out-of-Focus and blurry?

    Is anyone having a problem with movie poster artwork imported into itunes (added in the get info menu area for artwork) that now appears "blurry" or "out-of focus" in cover flow, etc. and the synced version in appletv. This happened right after upgrading to 8.0.1. My previous movie posters are just fine that were imported "prior" to upgrading to itunes 8? What gives? They are somehow blurry or low-res?

    I downloaded photos into iphoto
    From where?  Again, what are typical pixel dimensions of those photos that show blurry, i.e. how small are they?

  • Soft, out-of-focus previews.

    Hi, All.
    I am running Bridge CS6 for the first time and noticed that the previews are very soft, as if appearing to be out-of-focus. The problem disappears as soon as I open the photo in Photoshop and Camera Raw.
    Just in case the information is useful my camera is a Canon 5D Mk III and I shoot in RAW.
    How can I get better previews to show in Bridge, hopefully looking as good as those in Photoshop?
    Are there any new settings of which I am unaware?
    TIA.

    Have you got 'Generate Monitor-Size Previews in Bridge' enabled (Preferences > Advanced)? Have you got 'Generate HQ Previews on Demand/Always' selected in the toolbar?

  • Apple Studio Display 19.8" appears out of focus

    Display: 1344 X 1008, 100Hz, cols. millions.
    Resolution/colours look good, but screen does appear to be slightly out of focus, text a bit fuzzy. Which is no good for a graphic pro.! No its not me and my out of focus glasses! I use an Apple Cinema Display with no probs. I dont have the install CD that came with Studio Display.

    So it's attached to a MacBook Pro? How are the two cabled together? What resolution is the MBP sending to the monitor?

  • How do I fix font -it's scraggly, thin, almost out of focus compared to Internet Explorer

    The font on Internet Explorer is thick, sharp, easy to read. The same pages on Mozilla Firefox has font that is thin, scraggly, almost looks out of focus, and is very difficult to read. The font settings are correct. The font clarity is terrible.

    Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

  • One day it just stopped focusing and the pictures are blurry.  If I switch it to the front camera it works well and looks like it should but when I turn it back it goes back to being out of focus and I can't figure out how to fix it?

    i installed ios 7.after  that my primary cam, one day it just stopped focusing and the pictures are blurry.  If I switch it to the front camera it works well and looks like it should but when I turn it back it goes back to being out of focus and I can't figure out how to fix it?

    This advice will sound like a joke or prank, but believe me it worked on my iPhone 5 and my daughter's.  The lens mechanism got stock on each of our iPhones.  We found a post on these message boards that said to hold the iPhone about 6 inches above a table or counter top and drop it so that it lands flat on it's back.  Now try the camera ...Fixed!  It has been more than six months now and neither of our iPhones have ever experienced the problem again. 

  • PIctures appear out of focus

    This is my first Apple Purchase. I do alot of weekend photography, I noticed about 3 months ago that with my Macbook Pro when I am previewing my pictures that they appear real clear then suddenly fade to a soft focus or out of focus look. Any ideas?

    Where are your photos stored?
    I've noticed that when double-clicking a photo in the Organizer to view it enlarged, it takes less than a second for it to snap into sharp focus.  All the photos are on one of the internal drives.  It probably has to do with the performance of your HD and I/O subsystem.  I'm running Win7 x64 and have a pair of internal SSDs, so that'll give me outstanding I/O.

  • Monitor out of focus

    I have recently purchased a MacBook Pro referb which has worked fine for two months. Suddenly the monitor has started to go out of focus (esp type) in patchy areas. Oddly, when i move the cursor halfway down the monitor it appears to move up one pixel, too - any ideas?

    GlenB: Sounds like you've zoomed in a little. To zoom in/out, hold down Control and scroll up or down using the trackpad (touch it with two fingers and move them up or down).
    chris65: Sounds like you've changed the resolution to something lower than the native display. To change the resolution, go to System Preferences > Displays and pick the highest one in the list; that will be the native resolution on your display.

  • Keynote PDF output: fonts appear "bold", milky background

    Hello,
    we observed two problems when exporting a Keynote presentation into PDF ("export" and "print" exhibit the same behaviour):
    (1) when opening the PDF in Preview, the medium-size fonts appear to be "bolder" than in the presentation, small fonts look OK. We have tried several fonts (e.g. Trebuchet), the effect seems to be independent of the font. Colors look exactly as in the presentation.
    (2) when opening the same PDF in Acrobat 8 Pro on either Mac or PC, the fonts look OK but all colours look as if through a "milky glass layer". This is an effect which is probably related to some color space conversion.
    A similar topic was discussed last November, but no satisfying solution was presented. Many thanks in advance for any help with this.

    It doesn't seem to matter what the Registry/Ordering is - I still get the error. I do recall that setting it to something known like Adobe and Japan1 had other effects, though, such as incorrectly chosen glyphs, though those could have been related to other issues we had at the time.
    Since any value seems to prompt the issue, it leaves me even more confused as to what could be the root of this problem. Distiller seems to bypass embedding CMaps by using the "Identity" encoding and simply writing the glyph indeces into the text stream. Does Preflight just not like embedded CMaps?
    I have uploaded a sample document to acrobat.com if anyone wants to take a look. It has several changes from the original description, in an attempt to root out the problem. Here is the URL:
    https://share.acrobat.com/adc/document.do?docid=4284cd55-d710-411f-8a91-51359564a78b

  • Out of focus photos after burning dvd.

    I am using Magic iDVD in iDVD 08. Have created a movie with photos imported from iPhoto. All appears to be well when I preview the movie prior to burning it (i.e. photos are clear and sharp, and burning process appears to go as it should). But when I view the burned DVD all the photos are quite out of focus. This occurs whether I watch the DVD on my iMac or TV. Am using Philips DVD-R discs. Have tried different encoding settings with no difference in results.

    It looks to me like the flash fired for the shot, but the camera also kept the shutter open for a fairly long time to reach optimum exposure.  Can you check and see how long the exposure was?  It appears that the bright, flashed parts of the photo are sharp, so I don't think it's an optical problem.  The flash froze some of the image, but handheld camera shake created the blurring.  Try a similar shot on a solid tripod.  Or reset the exposure so that it's short enough to handhold and try again.  I'll often do dusk or nighttime shots on aperture priority setting with a flash to light up someone in the foreground.  The shutter stays open long enough to light up the dark, unflashed areas in the background, leading to a long exposure, so I have to use a tripod and have a model that can stay very still.  Otherwise the photos end up looking like your shot.  As far as saving the photo that you posted--it would take a huge amount of effort by someone that's very good with Photoshop.

  • PDFs from CS3, ligatures not showing up on editor's PC, fonts appearance changed

    Hi there. I just redesigned a magazine using the Hypatia Sans family, Avenir family and Arno Pro family. Avenir is the one font I have been using. With both Hypatia and Arno, the ligatures totally drop out of the pdf when viewed on a PC. And, when the editor made the edits in the "comment-able" pdf and sent it back to me, really none of the fonts appear right. Nothing looks like Hypatia or Arno or Avenir. The font flow seems to stay put, but that is about it.
    I'm trying to pinpoint this a little tighter. But while I'm doing that, I wanted to put this out here on the discussion boards. Since this is an entire magazine, it's not going to be acceptable to proof it this way. I don't know if I can send a pdf to someone at Adobe to look at and see what they think is happening? I'm not finding much on the boards about this either so I don't know if it's a widespread issue or not.

    Follow up ...
    Kellie and I discussed and problem and then she checked with the editor.
    In fact, the editor was putting PDF comments on the InDesign-exported PDF file using MacOS Preview and then saving the file and returning it via e-mail to Kellie. MacOS Preview converted all of the text from Arno Pro, Avenir and Hypatia Sans to MacOS versions of Multiple Master Helvetica and Multiple Master Times fonts which clearly did not have all the glyphs of the original fonts.
    The editor was advised to download and install the free Adobe Reader and guess what? The problem went away.
    Problem solved!
    Sorry folks, but there is absolutely nothing that Adobe can do about this problem other than to continue to advise our customers to avoid PDF reader software that simply doesn't implement or doesn't properly implement the full PDF specification. (Note that this specification is an ISO standard now, not something that is secret or Adobe-proprietary in any way!)

  • TS4436 hi, when zooming in to capture still images, the image is really blurred and out of focus. is this a hardware issue and is there any solution for this?? or is my device faulty?

    hi, when zooming in to capture still images, the image is really blurred and out of focus. is this a hardware issue and is there any solution for this?? or is my device faulty?

    If you are using the iPhone camera zoom then remember that this is a digital zoom not an optical zoom. The zoomed in area will have fewer pixels and not appear as clear. The more you zoom the worse it gets. It's like cropping a picture after it has been taken.

  • Why is my Flex extension for Photoshop out of focus while writing text?

    Hi All,
    I have a query. Why is my Flex extension for Photoshop out of focus while I am writing text to a layer? I noticed that if I am writing some text in a text layer, and while writing I try to do some action in my extension, like clicking a button, I am unable to do so.. Why is that? The extension doesn't receive any click events.. I have to select the layer and then perform any such action.. Please answer if there is a way of solving this issue..
    Thanks!

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    In Firefox 4 [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode Safe mode] disables extensions and disables hardware acceleration.<br />
    If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.
    * Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
    * Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

  • Images out of focus?

    I've been using ACDSee as a photo viewer/organzer and linking to photoshop for editing.  I recently upgraded to cs5 photoshp and finally decided to try Bridge since I figured the integration would be better and figured bridge would be using the same monitor calibration profile as photoshop.
    So it's a nice program, BUT - all my images (preview/slideshow) are out of focus (or low resolution/quality). I searched for settings everywhere in the preferences, even turning on/off software rendering, with no apparent affect.   They're sharp in photoshop and every other photo viewer I've ever tried, so  I figured I was missing something really obvious.  I called adobe support and installed their "desktop sharing" software.  The rep then had me reset bridge to all defaults, open an image, then open the same image in photoshop AND acdsee.  He verified that the image in Bridge was not as sharp as both photoshop and acdsee.  He explained that bridge didn't use the same imaging technology as photoshop (really) and that bridge was intended as a front end to photoshop to aid in selecting images for later editing. 
    I explained that as a photographer I couldn't use bridge to select images for editing if I couldn't tell WHICH ONES WERE IN FOCUS (emphasis mine).  I'd have to load them all into photoshop to determine that, so what use was bridge?   He said he was going to check on that and left the call for a while, then came back and reiterated that he was correct...that bridge wasn't meant for the quality of viewing I was looking for.  He said he would suggest that as a future enhancement.  I said that didn't make much sense since I must be living on another planet if no one else has ever complained about this since the initial release of bridge way back when.  He politely laughed.
    So I'm completely mystified...is that actually correct?...That the images viewed in bridge are presented in a lower image quality than photoshop???  (or even ACDSee??).  I like the program and its interface, but I can't use it if I can't even determine which images are in focus.  PLEASE tell me the support rep was inadequately trained...
    I'm running windows 7 64 bit...in case it matters my graphics adapter is composed of dual nvidia GeForce 8800gtx cards with basically default settings, using the latest nvidia drivers (which were just updated last month to specifically support the video hardware utilization of CS5).
    Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions/explanations!

    Ahh, I see another idiot has been suckered in by the business model of Adobe Inc.  When I first purchased CS4 I had many, many problems with Photoshop, Bridge and InDesign. It is these three programs I utilize the most with a little of Dreamweaver and even less of Illustrator.  After nearly a week spent both online and on the telephone we came to the conclusion that some hidden software code that entegrated the suite, and which each software package shared to some unknown degree, did not like my NVidia GeForce 9800GT video card.
    After a two step process of testing updated drivers from NVidia and totally reformatting my entire computer the various graphics card problems were not resolved.  Did you notice that I had to reformat my entire hard drive?  That entailed a week of installing each and every program (over 40 of 'em) and locating and updating all the various drivers for some fairly mundane attached cards and equipment.  The problems with Adobe were not resolved. Not one!
    The problem I had with Bridge CS4 was similar to yours and still on occasion occurs. The displaying of thumbnails as extremely low resolution blobs of pixels.  The solution is not related to the preferences but more to the handling of pixels between Adobe's graphics display code and how it interfaces with my NVidia display adapter.  I have seen similar problems with other iterations of the NVidia display adapter.  As you have seen Adobe's motto seems to be: We are God and everyone must bow to us.  In the industry the proper manner is for the display adapter manufactuer to create the various operating system drivers and for the software developers to properly hook to those drivers. Adobe does not follow this standardized method of hardware to software integration.
    The one way I have found that seems to work on my WinXP Pro SP3 Core 2 Duo with 4 gigabytes of memory is as follows. Under the Tools menu should be a Cache submenu which contains a purge "your folder."  Purge the folder and let the computer rebuild it.  Do not do anything while it is rebuilding the cache.  And I mean nothing!  At least on my system it seems that my switching to some other program in the middle of the cache building (which contains the thumbnails) upsets Bridge which does not like not having full unfettered access to the graphics card or its drivers during the cache building.
    Perhaps this works with CS5 or not.  I do not plan on upgrading to CS5 for Adobe to laugh at my needs! Why pay them my hard earned money for them to tell me to go pound sand and that I am on my own resources.  I have never been able to fully utilize Photoshop CS4 and still constantly use PS7 and PS CS2.  And the corrupting of files by InDesign CS4 with no method of repairing the files makes the usage of this program laudable to a book creator.  Creative Suite 2 appears to be the last fully stable software package released by Adobe.  At least none of the files created by InDesign CS2 end up being recreated.
    Do yourself a favor and do not attempt to create a web gallery via Bridge.  There are free and shareware programs out there that handle the task much more adroitly than it does. JAlbum is a good one.  Bridge's Web Gallery could have been a God send to those needing such functions.  However, if you look at the coding within the templates they were each generated by a third or fourth party enterprise and the ability to manipulate them is entirely out of the reach of even the most accomplished HTML coder.  And Dreamweaver laughs at the template files—not understanding the concepts used to build or enact them. And I have to yet to find any tutorials on how to create a set of files to be used as my own web gallery template.
    One of the most frustrating aspects is that the majority of hard core Web Gallery programs now utilize XML files significantly.  Bridge does not allow you to generate such a file containing the full spectrum of available tags that an image file can contain.  Adobe's adherence to metadata standards is a very good one but the usage of the intereactivity between the various packages and external software packages is non-existent.  Bridge's scripts, which would be used to create a XML file, are, in this writer's opinion, as useless as crayons are to a digital artist. And with no third party individual willing to tackle them from the perspective of true usability, this will continue to be an issue.
    The one saving grace of Bridge in CS2 and CS4 is the ability to embed generated metadata into the image file itself.  I strongly stress the embedding of metadata into the file as the tools that can be used in Bridge to ease the task are well thought out and simple to integrate into a digital workflow.  For a photographer, or a digital archivist, simply create a temporary metadata file from information entered into one file, and copy the same information to an entire directory of files.  I have used this on directories containing up to 2,000 files and it worked without a flaw.  External pony files are too easy to get lost and thus there goes your carefully crafted metadata compilation.
    Once you do get Bridge working correctly you will soon find it replacing your Windows file manager or a third party graphical broswer.  I cannot comment on the Mac but what I have seen demonstrated on the Mac is almost as useful as Bridge.  When working in either InDesign or Photoshop (ver. 7, CS2 or CS4) I have Bridge up and running.  I do not allow Bridge to automatically load with the operating system, preferring instead to load it when needed, as I have seen instances where it causes problems.
    And yes, I both love and hate Adobe.  They got me addicted to Photoshop and InDesign and keep me stringing along with promises of a greater higher.  I leave my Illustrator tasks to CorelDraw which is far, far friendlier and easier to use for vector images. A vector program with no real-world scaling?
