Frustrating zoom problem...

I've just started using iPhoto today, and I love it, except that I can't zoom in on any of my photos! I've combed the forums but can't find anything on this yet. I don't know how to describe it other than "noise" all over the zoomed pictures -- here are some screenshots:

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Start with the troubleshooting basics:
1. Repair Permissions using Disk Utility
2. Delete the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. You'll need to reset your User options afterwards.
3. Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and make a new library there. Import a couple of pics and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

Zoom problem (help needed urgently)

friends,
i m working on a class in which there is one JPanel inside a JInternalFrame. i have functionalities like zoomin and zoomout. for that i m writing my code on mouse clicked of JPanel but my problem is that mouseClicked method is getting called several times even if i click once on JPanel and thus zooming the JPanel by a very large value.
please help me if u have any solution for it.Its very urgent.

it would be difficult to post complete code so i m posting the important part of my code related to this zoom problem.
public class PaintPanel extends JPanel implements MouseListener
     public Rectangle normalShape;
     public int initialX =0;
     public int initialY = 0;
     public int finalX = 0;
     public int finalY = 0;
     protected void paintComponent(Graphics g)
addMouseListener(this);
super.paintComponent(g);
scale = zoomvalue;
// System.out.println("scale value is " + scale);
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;
AffineTransform at = g2d.getTransform();
AffineTransform atnew = new AffineTransform();
atnew.scale(scale,scale);
at.concatenate(atnew);
// g2d.setTransform(at);
g2d.setTransform(at);
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e)
// get the position of mouse released
setCursor(new Cursor(Cursor.DEFAULT_CURSOR));
finalX = e.getX();
finalY = e.getY();
temploc3 = finalX;
temploc4 = finalY;
if(WellPlot.zoomFlag)
System.out.println("zoomvalue in mouseClicked " + zoomvalue);
zoomvalue += 0.1 ;
setZoom();
return;
}

Zoom problems with G30

When I zoom out with the rocker switch on my G30, the zoom will return to a wide angle, especially if I lightly touch the telephoto end of the rocker. It will continue to return to wide angle by itself, even if I move the rocker switch to telephoto. This seems to occur when the weather is hot (we shoot outside much of the time) and the camera has been operating for an extended period. This zoom problem does not seem to happen if the touch screen and remote zoom are used and the camera is cool. I bought this camera 9/2013. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Could this be a defective zoom switch? Would updated firmware make any difference? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi mimages!
Thank you for posting.
Based on your description, the camcorder will need to be examined by a technician at our Factory Service Center. To start this process, you'll need to complete a Repair Request on our website.

Is there any way to help aid this annoying wallpaper zoom problem?

So with the addition of iOS 7 came a new feature; parallax, adding a 3D effect to the home and lock screens. This is all fine and dandy, but 1. I don't like the feature because it wastes battery to use the gyroscope to just make the wallpaper move a bit, 2. The parallax doesn't even look 3D, and 3. Which is my main problem, it messes with the scale and zoom of when I am trying to set a wallpaper.
So pretty much what I am asking, is there any way to make more of a wallpaper show when I set it? Even with "Perspective Zoom" turned off, most of the edges of the picture are cut out and the "Fix" introduced with 7.1 doesn't seem to fix anything relating to the annoying zoom problems, other than giving people the option to not have their wallpaper move, but still have animations-and oh that brings up something else-
Turning off "Perspective Zoom" turns off the wallpaper moving, but not the app icons moving. If you look closely, the apps move too, in the opposite direction of the wallpaper, to help give more of a parallax effect. The movement is a lot more subtle, but still definitely there.

I never had any problem installing wallpaper. Knowing the photo is going to enlarge start with a photo smaller then full screen. If the photo is too small when you try to install it you can enlarge it by putting two fingers on the screen and moving your fingers apart.

XY graph zoom problem

Hello,
There is a issue when you zoom in using a XY graph. Say you have a two points one at 0,0 and another at 10000,10. If you zoom in to say point 5000,5 the centre point the line will be way off nowhere near where it should be crossing. I was wondering if anyone knows a fix for this problem?
Thanks

I agree that this does not look right, but is probably due to limitations in the math used. Once you zoom into the area of iterest, the position of the line actually changes as a function of zoom level. (for example, the 5000 crossing of the line is at 5.00, then at 5.015, then at 5.16). I am sure the accuracy it could be improved, but maybe at a cost of performance.
It should definitely be investigated.

Gallery zoom problem N8 since PR1.1

I wondered if anyone else has had this....
since 'upgrading' to PR1.1 intermittently, but often the gallery does not zoom correctly.
when i zoom previoulsy it would zoom in the current image in low quality then a couple of seconds later it would paint in the detail....
this painting the detail stage often does not happen and i have to reboot, which often doesn't fix it and i have to reboot again.
sometimes after a reboot, when i open the gallery it will say 'refreshing your media' - anyone else have this - or an idea for a better workaround... how about deleteing all the _PAlbTN directories? where is the gallery database?
There's no dignity in begging for kudos. Do it for the karma.

there could well be a third element to this...
it could be updating to pr1.1 after you have installed bubbles. nokia battery monitor has been giving me hassle too.
but my googling lead me to a bug report on beta labs, it had no other supporters, but uninstalling bubbles removed the problem immediately. not even a reboot required.
bubbles installs all kind of beta versions of all sorts of libraries that are used by all sorts of phone apps. it's a bit cheeky really whilst i understand that a beta is exactly that. this app does appear to have the potential to mess up everything rather than just itself. check this out for a 'known issue' - Installing Bubbles will also install a beta version of Qt 4.7.1 which may cause the Ovi Store client or other Qt-based applications to fail.

Zoom problem

Hi guys,
I'm a new user here, but I've been using Photoshop for many years. I'm currently using Photoshop CS5 version 12.0.4.
I recently updated my video driver, and now I'm having a problem with my zoom tool. I'm going to try as best I can to describe it accurately here, and hopefully someone can tell me if there's a way to fix it.
Basically, I used to be able to select the zoom tool, then click and drag to draw a "box" around whatever I want to zoom in on. This is the behaviour I want.
Right now, however, if I select the zoom tool, the behaviour is that instead of getting the "box," it just zooms as I'm dragging. That is, I click, hold down my button, and when I drag to draw the box, I instead end up zooming in (or out, if I drag the other way) of my image, until I let go of holding down the button.
Has anyone seen this before? Does anyone know why this is happening? Or, more importantly, how I can fix it? It's driving me nuts!
Thanks in advance,
Kevin.

Aha! I think I may have found it. There's a checkbox called "scrubby zoom" that seems to control this behaviour. I have no idea why this ever would have become checked, but un-checking it seems to restore the zoom tool behaviour to what I was expecting.
Hope this question helps someone else,
Kevin.

HTML Map tag zoom problem.

Hi,
We have discovered a problem with our webpage that only occurs on safari. We have an image with an image where we use an <map><area> tags to indicate click-able hot spots on the image. When you change the zoom level in the browser, increasing or decreasing the size of the image the relative location of the hot spot changes within the image.
This problem happens in both windows and mac versions of safari. IE, Chrome and FireFox handle this correctly.
Does anybody know how to fix this?

Hi
a webkit nightly from http://webkit.org will likely fix it on an individual machine - but afaik, apple didn't include the fix in the recent safari updates.

Display mysteriously changed... not a zoom problem.

I opened up my computer and the font and display had changed. Now things like webpages don't fit in the screen. Even the desktop picture has changed. It isn't zoom and I've checked the display resolutions. Anyone know how to correct this problem?

Did you try holding down CNTL while you scroll down with the mouse or trackpad.
This can zoom the screen even when the System Preferences > Universal Access shows zoom off.

Multi Y-scale zoom problem

I created two Y-scales on my XY Graph and attached one plot to each scale. The problem is that when i am trying to zoom the graph it changes both scales. I tried to set Active Scale before zooming but that didn' help.
Is it possible to zoom scales independently using Tools from Graph Palette?

Hi Jonni,
I have attached an example in LabVIEW 8, you can change your Y-Axis range to zoom in on individual plots.

Numbers 08 Zoom Problem

I did a clean install of Mountain Lion and then reinstalled iWork 08. All the programs are functioning normally except numbers. The zoom settings are now set as: 2500%, 5000%, 7500%, 10000% etc... rather than 25%, 50%... The zoom setting in the prefernce pane shows the correct setting (ie 25%, 50%) but on the the worksheet everything remains unchanged at 2500% etc. Any suggestions?

Just in case I didn't explain myself clearly here are two screen shots of the problem:

Frustrating transition problem

Hello All
I'm having an issue I have yet to figure out, I create a lot of slideshow movies with an app called Photo to Movie, render then import into FCE , now when I preview the movie in QT it looks great but, after importing the .mov into FCE, my transitions get screwed up. when the image zooms or movies back, they leave a trail in a sense. almost looks like a time laps...a thin series of lines stemming from the edge of the image.
Any idea why or how I can resolve this frazzling issue, I have on some just cut out the bad transitional lines but, this cuts into my image viewing time .
Thanks

One day Tom, I pray I'm as good as you are at this..
There is the problem, FTM is set to export at 29.97fps but, QT is showing it to be slower at a rate of 22.49 fps , how can or can I resolve this ?
As for the information it's from both
Photo to Movie data :
Compression ; type animation
Motion ; frame rate 29.97 fps
Key frames ; every 24 frames
compressor ; depth millions of colors+, quality medium
FCE Data
Vid rate ; 29.97 fps
data rate ; 6.6mb/sec

Individual Track Zoom problem

For a long time I've experienced a few problems with Auto Track Zoom. I'll just stick with the first one for now, to keep things simple. Sometimes when I have Auto Track Zoom enabled, and I select a new track, the old zoomed track stays zoomed, and the newly selected track zooms as well, so that I now have two individually zoomed tracks. Has anyone else experienced this and/or know how to stop that from happening?

hmm well, I am enjoying many aspects of Logic, and have invested quite a lot of money in switching from my WIndows DAW setup, and I know that I need to in a sense "re-learn" how to do the things I did in Sonar....but I stand by the fact that the Logic interface is proving quite restrictive in some ways. I'd already found the zoom tool you mention, but for some reason it zooms all the waveforms in every track (in Sonar you can do this separately for each track) and still doesn't allow the track height itself to get to more than about a quarter of the height of the arrange window. I really did used to find it useful to, sometimes, work on a really big view of a waveform, and can't really see a reason why the Logic interface isn't as 'fluid' as the Sonar one.
Still the lack of Windows crashes now that I've switched to Logic is making up for the occasionally clunky interface, and maybe, as others have hinted on here, if Apple do actually do a rewrite and get rid of the bits of legacy code, the next version of Logic will sort out the little UI annoyances (I used to use Notator on an Atari ST years ago and it was great but things have moved on since then...)

Trackpad based "zoom" problem

Hi all,
Okay then, I am new to the buttonless MBP, and I have a habit of resting my thumb on the trackpad while my index finger does its thing. For the most part, this is not an issue, however, I randomly cause the frontmost application (including the Finder) to zoom in or zoom out the contents of the window or desktop. This is NOT the screen zoom, this is strictly a zoom of the contents of whatever is frontmost.
(i.e., in Safari, the text zooms, in the desktop the Icons get larger, etc).
I have checked all available preferences in an effort to turn off this functionality, but have come up blank.
Any help?
Thanks,
Matt

Hi all,
This isn't the same thing as the universal access zoom. The UAZoom actually zooms the entire desktop and windows. This problem just zooms the contents of whatever is frontmost. That said, the zoom does NOT include the menu bar, window header, dock, etc... just the items.
Although I have seen the problem with a few different two-finger touches.. the best way (and fairly consistent) to reproduce the problem is as follows....
1) Index finger placed at 11 o-clock on the top of the TrackPad. Finger should feel the ridge at the top of the TP.
2) Thumb placed at 6 o-clock on the bottom of the TP. (Thumb is kind of laying on its side on the TP)
3) Keeping the index finger completely still, slowly swipe the thumb up the TP. If nothing happens, slide the thumb slowly back down again. The thumb travels only about 1 inch maximum.
I made a movie of the problem, you can find it at....
http://web.me.com/mabou2/Site/Zoom.html
The problem has a random nature to it, which you will see in the video. But usually once I hit the right feel on the trackpad, I can repeat the zoom in and out, as you will see in the video.
Thanks,
Matt
