For best quality, what should I save in? PSD/TIFF?

I'm working in Photoshop CC. Was wondering what I should be working and saving in, PSD or TIFF?

Use native PSD files for working in Photoshop. These files contain layers and other important information you may need to access in the future. If you need a flattened file type for web or printed output, File > SaveAs 2nd file type. Always keep your PSDs in a safe place. You never know when you may need them again.

What format to import AVCHD for best quality and how to export?

Hi
My boss has got himself a panasonic HDC camcorder of some sort that is formatting the video in AVCHD.
Basically he was using adobe premiere pro from around 2003 on an pc running xp and loved it. My I.T. director persuaded him to buy an iMac and Final Cut Pro 7. As we stand now he states he hates macs because he can't figure out how to get his home movies off his camcorder and onto a dvd without them looking blurry and fuzzy.
Can anyone advise what format we should be importing the AVCHD files into final cut pro for best video quality and how we should be exporting the final movie for best quality to go onto dvd?
I will also note that he is using toast 10 titanium to burn his movies to dvd.
Also he is not looking to burn to blu-ray as none of his familiy have blu-ray players. He just wants his HD footage off camera and onto a dvd with the best quality picture he can get. Also his movies are approx 2 hours long and he has just ordered some Dual Layer DVDs
Thanks
Kieran

I take it you mean Pro Res 422 from the AVCHD plugin options? And not going for any of the other 422's with bits in brackets?
Sorry for being dumb in this area but my boss and i are both pretty new to FCP
How do i ensure i edit in a pro res sequence?
Export straight to quicktime no quicktime compression or anything?
Thanks for your help

AVCHD - Blu-ray: what settings for best quality?

Hi Folks,
I've got a BD-burner and I want to export my edited HD avchd footage to BD with minimal quality loss.
Can you please advice me on the right settings?
* should I go for the 'Match Sequence Settings' option in the export menu?
* or probably select 'MPEG 2 Blu-ray' option for best quality?
* what is better in terms of quality of the outcome: 'MPEG 2 Blu-ray' vs. 'H.264 Blu-ray'?
Finally, I have a question related to Adobe Encore: the same footage exported through Adobe Media Encoder in 'MPEG2 Blu-ray' (takes 13 GB), Adobe Encore reports will take only 8GB?!? I'm puzzled here. How come the same footage got exported into files with different length? Is there a way to set the Encore to export in the maximum possible quality? Where can I locate this menu setting?
Thank you very much!

Forgot to mention, I'm using CS5 and I shoot in avchd, 30fps,
1980i

For highest photo quality what should ppi be? in photoshop should I "Sharpen Edges" as in use for web?

For highest photo quality what should ppi be to look good in Retina? In photoshop should I use "Sharpen Edges" as I would for in use for web?

There are about 1 trillion threads and replies about the size of images to be used and accepted when using iBA.
Obvioulsy you have not taken time to search the forum before asking your question, nor do you seem to have downloaded the iBA asset guide.
I suggest you go to Apples iPad page on the store and check the screen dimentions/ resolution for a non mini iPad retina. DPI at 72 or above is your choice.
I also suggest before setting out on a book project, you take time to read the forum and download the PDFs which are available.
A KT states in effect - first do your own home work before starting out asking questions and that way you will avoid the proverbial self inflicted wounds - which will follow because it seems you have not yet actually spent time learning about iBA or read the help files.
This forum will gladly spend time and effort to help folk... but most dont really have time to continually givie answers which already exist on the forum.

Setting for best quality in compressor

Hi.
I'm running FCP 5.1 and Compressor 2.3.1. For best quality videos on youtube I've heard it's a good idea to max out the free space they make available to you. What are the best settings I should use in Compressor for maximum quality uploads to youtube? Also what's a good setting for good quality video with a smaller file size? Also I should note most of my videos uploaded are of short duration 1 minute to 5 minutes. I've been using the settings DVNTSC and it's okay but maybe there's something better you can recommend? Also I tend to use Toast to burn DVD's. What's a good setting for best quality dvd's?
thank you!

For Youtube encoding, read these: http://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/you_tube_redux_gary.html and http://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/you_tube_hd_gary.html
Keep in mind that the more compressed the file is (smaller file size), the lessor quality.
As for DVD compression, I've always found Toast's encoder to create poorer quality DVDs than Compressor or DVD Studio Pro. The best method would be to export a self-contained or reference movie from FCP (Do NOT use QuickTime Conversion), then import that file into Compressor. Use the DVD preset in Compressor that best matches your movie's duration. You can duplicate and adjust presets as needed for your particular movie. Compressor will create the needed MPEG-2 video file (.m2v) and Dolby Digital audio file (.ac3). Import those two files into DVD Studio Pro for authoring and burning.

For best performance what's the size of an image to be stored in database?

Hi all,
can any one tell me..for best performance what's the size of an image to be stored in database?
is it <256kb or >256mb?
when i google we can store image as varbinary(max) and its limit upto 2GB..
Can anyone exlain it?
is it performance wise better..
thanx in advance..

Your question does not seem apparently meaningful. If you need to store a 5MB image in the database, you store a 5MB image, not a 200 KB image or a 200 MB image. Business needs always trumph performance.
Not surprisingly, the larger the image the more resources it takes to read and write it.
What is a meaningful question is whether you should use the FILESTREAM feature or not. The cut-off limit here is usually given as 1MB. That is, if your images typically exceeds 1MB you should use FILESTREAM and access the data through Win32
API. If your images are generally below this size, you should stick to regular T-SQL.

Export settings for best quality for pages with letters etc.

Hi, I am trying to make video of a musical piece, featuring the score of the piece with pages turning following the progression of the music. I made the video in Adobe After Effects CS5 and exported it so it would be lossless. The video itself is a .mov file and looks great when I view it in Quicktime, but when I import it into FCE the quality goes down a bit. I don't know if FCE is handling the clips correctly or if it's just for making it quicker to view. Any suggestions on export settings from FCE for best quality of a video of this nature, so that the notes are clearly readable.
Thanks in advance
Ps. It has to be in a format suitable for Youtube.

Under "Sequence" and in "Settings" and in the tab "Render Control" I have: Frame Rate: 100% Resolution: 100%.
If that is what you were referring to... but under the tab which is called RT and is located left of the timeline and left of the timecode. There I have checked : Safe RT, (Playback Video Quality) Dynamic, (Playback Frame Rate) High.
There might be a way to import the clip in better quality (so it doesn't downgrade the quality).
Was mostly trying to find out with the export but it might have something to do with this.
Thanks

Tips for best quality?

I've got a full res SD quicktime movie that I want to put onto DVD....how can I get the best quality out of this video on DVD through compressor....should I just choose best quality with a 2 pass vbr?

Does anyone have any tips for best quality imovie3 exports but keeping file.
Here is a quick Apple tutorial introduction that may be of some help:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/tutorials/h264.html
I personally use the QVGA (AKA "Internet Content") H.264 settings for everything from family site clips to iPod compatible files. 400 kb with stereo 128kb audio should produce a good quality file at 29.97/30 fps which is on the order of 4 MBs per minute of content and are suitible for DSL/Cable QuickStart viewing. You can, of course further reduce file size by decreasing data rates, frame rates, target display size, etc. However, to my mind, the quality suffers and becomes unacceptable for my purposes. QT Kirk has other tricks such as further halving the dimensions and then doubling the playback display. This would get you down to the approximately 1 MB per minute mark or sub 1 MB rage when couple with reduced data/frame rates. Basically, you are only limited by your own idea as to the minimum level of acceptable quality.

I would like to be able to size images by kilobytes instead of pixels--is this possible? I use I-Contact which requires a maximum of 70kb per image. For best quality I want to make the images as close to 70 as possible. Currently I choose a size of 300

I would like to be able to size images by kilobytes instead of pixels--is this possible? I use I-Contact which requires a maximum of 70kb per image. For best quality I want to make the images as close to 70 as possible. Currently I choose a size of 300 pixels on the shortest side but sometimes this gives me an image of slightly greater than 70kb and sometimes the image is just 30-40kb. Is there a way to be more precise in reaching but not exceeding 70 kb?

That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.
You can opnly resize using the available options and file size is not one of them

I was downloading an album off of iTunes and it did not download one of the songs for some reason what should I do?

Does the Store > Check For Available Downloads menu option find it ? If not, then depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries), does it show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes for downloading (if there is an complete download of the track listed in the Music part of your library then you will need to delete it from there before it will get the cloud symbol in Purchased for redownloading) ?
If you can't download it via either of the above then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Ever since I downloaded iOS 7 my music and video sound has been really bad quality what should i do

Ever since I downloaded iOS 7 my music and video sound has been really bad quality what should i do??

I had the same problem on my iPad v2 IOS 7. But it sorted itself after a hard reset (power and home button) followed by a soft rest ( just power) . I lost all sound at this point. Then restarted again with a hard reset.
Hope that fixes your iPad v2

ITunes 11 MP3/320 - Joint or normal stereo for best quality ? Thanks!

iTunes 11 encoding MP3 @ 320 - Joint or normal stereo for best quality ? Thanks!

OK, I digged a bit deeper.......
Apparently, the common LAME MP3 encoder uses JOINT mode throughout bitrates ...... ( have a look at the wikipedia pages for MP3/joint stereo)
This leads to a) smaller files and/or b) gives or frees up "bandwidth for signal encoding when/if necessary.
The iTunes encoders algorithms are unknown, thus we need Apple to help with this issue.
If "normal" = separate stereo, i.e. separate encoding of the left and right audio channel, then there might be rather a quality loss despite high bitrates and large files, because that would mean using 160kbps/channel only , as MP3s are limited to 320.
Until Apple does not specify and explain this in detail, I myself will no longer use iTunes for encoding.
( @keeferaf, many thanks, in "userdefined-MP3-encoding" you can select those values )

For best quality, what should I save in? PSD/TIFF?
