Fuzzy photos

I updated to os 4, just like Carlos did in an earlier post. He indicated that he had a second sync that solve his problem with fussy photos.
All of my iPhone library photos are blurry after the update. The thumbnails look sharp but the images are worthless to show anyone.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Steve

And....a week late and seven dollars short (I guess). I finally did another sync. And yes, the second sync after the update puts all those fuzzy pics back into focus. My iPod app kept shutting down and wouldn't work when I left the office yesterday. It needed some time off from work too. Anyway, I synced my iPhone this morning for that specific reason and voila, it worked perfectly fine afterwards as well.

  • Fuzzy photos in screensaver mode

    After installing iPhoto 6, some of the already existing photos in my library show up fuzzy when they come up on my screensaver?

    I have the same situation. It has nothing to do with photo resolution: my camera is 10 megapixel. Some photos are great, others are jaggy. What gives?

  • I updated iPhoto.  Now I get fuzzy photos on computer when I try to print.

    I finally took the chance and did an update on my computer and on iPhoto.  When I try to print a perfectly in focus photo it comes out fuzzy.  Also, when I go into an event and click to see one photo it comes up very, very large and I only see a small part of the photo.  Wishing I had left well enough alone.

    What exactly did you do? Updating your OS and/or iPhoto does not have any affect on photo resolution
    What are the pixel dimensions of one of these photos?

  • Fuzzy photo, when viewed on iPad.

    Dreamweaver novice working on a personal site; worked in Photoshop since the early 1990s. I created graphics in Photoshop that competent web designers would do in Dreamweaver. It worked well, until this page.
    [see:  http://www.adrianhoff.com/Pages/Tabs_IntroPages/ArtIntro_Fuzzy.html]
    The overlay mat and thumbnail images are all elements of a single jpeg image. Of numerous similar pages, this was the only problem. Viewed on an iPad (1st gen. or current model) — it’s noticeably less sharp than images inserted into similar pages.
    Once I figured it out, the fix was simple. I cropped the photo (vertical axis). The original photo was 900px wide X 3292px tall; the new one is 900px wide X 2154px tall.
    [see: http://www.adrianhoff.com/Pages/Tabs_IntroPages/ArtArticles_Intro.html]
    The problem is in the photo itself, not the overall page height. There is no loss of sharpness, for example, when a second image is inserted into the next row in the table — even though that extends the page farther down than the original jpeg did.
    [see: http://www.adrianhoff.com/Pages/Tabs_IntroPages/ArtArticles_Intro01a.html]
    Any work-around here, other than spreading images over a certain height over two consecutive rows? I’m starting work on another (job related) site that will be viewed mostly on iPads.

    On the web, less is defintely more.   
    First main image is 1,009.38 KB (1,033,604 bytes) in file size.
    Nobody wants to download a 1MB image if they don't need to.  Especially people on mobile devices who may be paying through the nose for bandwidth. 
    I would suggest limiting yourself to 6-9 thumbnail size images per page and optimizing them in PShop with Save for Web properties.   You'll need to sacrifice a bit on quality to keep file size to a minimum.  I like to keep thumbnails around 20KB and full size images under 100KB.
    You could then deploy a modal window viewer like Fancybox to display larger images on click/touch.

  • Fuzzy photos on my IPad 2

    My ipad 2 now suddenley takes fuzzy photos

    Are you saying it took "clear" pictures previously?  If it did, that would be somewhat remarkable as iPad 2 has a camera with less than a Megapixel of resolution and while it can take an almost acceptable picture in brighter light, it's ability to take a clear picture in low light is not very good.  The camera on iPad 2 was never designed to take digital camera quality pictures.  It was designed to facilitate acceptable Facetime sessions.

  • Photos from iPhoto are fuzzy after publishing in iWeb

    Hi,
    I am using iphoto and made a photo page to use in iweb. In iweb all the photo thumbnails look fine. When I published them to my .mac site all the thumbnails still look fine. However, when I click on the photo to see the larger version, in 40% of the cases the photos look fuzzy.
    These fuzzy photos are not fuzzy in iphoto and I do not see any difference between these photos and others that show up fine in iweb.
    I also tried creating a photo page with just a few of the photos that show up fuzzy on the original photo page I made and they are still fuzzy, suggesting to me that there is something wrong with the original photo file. However, as I said these photos look great in iphoto. Any ideas?
    Thanks,

    Hello William...
    I think the problem may be in the way iWeb resizes your photos for the slideshow/larger version. For the photo template, all of your photos are resized to 800x600 by iWeb....the problem is that you don't get any control over the amount of jpeg compression used or method of rescaling. Not all photos will look great at the same jpeg compression level and with the same rescaling method.
    If you have some other graphics program that has these options, it really pays to take control of the jpeg compression aspect at the very least. I use a program called "Downsize" and also I use "Photoshop" sometimes. There are lots of other programs you can use, I'm sure. But basically, it will probably improve your images if you size them down to 800x600 yourself with one of these programs and then import them into iWeb.

  • Blurry photos -- EUREKA moment !

    I just stumbled onto something that seemed to help with the old 'imported photos are blurry' problem. Mac mavens: I'm no expert, so maybe you can weigh in on this and see if this may actually be a solution, or if my hopes will soon be dashed. Maybe this can help solve this problem once and for all.
    I'm working on a movie - a kid's DVD that consists entirely of illustrations. Every time I'd import into iMovie HD from iPhoto -- you know what happened. Fuzzy photos. Frustration. You know the drill. Just for the heck of it, I hit 'file', 'new project' -- but this time.. when it asked me for my import source, I changed it from DV to HD 720, then opened another using the HD 1080i setting, and the photos are now CRYSTAL CLEAR. Yes -- crystal clear in iMovie. Please tell me I'm onto something (he asked nervously)

    Please tell me I'm onto something (he asked nervously)
    Yes and No. Yes, in that both 720p and 1080i projects display a better quality image than does a DV project. In other words, the image looks better in iMovie. And it looks better after exporting to a QuickTime movie that's played on the computer, in part because the image is so much larger than DV.
    But since we can't burn HD DVDs — at least not yet — that quality isn't retained when we burn a DVD. The HD gets converted back to ho-hum quality.
    There is one advantage to creating HD slideshows. When the day comes we ARE able to burn HD DVDs, your projects will be ready to burn. You'll be able to avoid the embarrassment of watching DV slideshows some day with your grandchildren, and one asking "Grandpa, why do your slideshows look so weird?"

  • Imported photos showing up blurry in iPhoto

    I recently switched from a PC to an iMac and dragged my photos from the "My Documents" folder on my external drive to the iPhoto program on my Mac. I opened iPhoto to look at my pix and noticed that some of them are a lot blurrier now than the last time I viewed them on my PC. This seems to be mostly with my older photos. Is there a reason for this, and is there some kind of setting I can use to get them back to normal (the way they looked on my PC)?
    Thanks in advance,
    Sunny

    importing a photo to iPhoto makes no changes - it just copies the photo so what you have in iPhoto is exactly what you had on your PC
    a couple of possibilities to look at
    1 - for large (high resolution) photos iPhoto displays a quick, sometimes fuzzy image and then completes loading the full image and the image clears - are you giving it time to fully display?
    2 - is you iPhoto display larger than your PC display - if you have low resolution photos displaying them on a larger screen will let you see the pixels - making them "fuzzy"
    3 - is there any chance you imported lower resolution sions of your photos? What is the resolution of one of the "fuzzy" photos - look in the info window on the lower left - if it is not there, click on the blue "i"

  • Help/advice using iPhoto library manager

    I got the pay version of iPhoto library manager, and it seems to work well. But I'm looking for some advice on how to best organize my photos between the two libraries. I'm using the following basic system:
    I have my entire photo library containing all my photos on my external drive, and I named this library Lacie.
    Then I have a subset of my photos, basically my favorites and recent photos, on my laptop. This library is called Macbook. I am running low on space on my laptop (and soon will be running out on my external too and will need to get another one, but I can probably put that off for a bit).
    When I import photos, I usually import them onto my macbook, play around with the events, delete fuzzy photos, etc. Then periodically I move the new events over to my Lacie drive so that everything is on Lacie. I then delete photos that I don't like that much to make space on my Macbook.
    Now here's the problem. I went on a trip to France and I put all my photos on my Macbook, and I moved the events over to Lacie. Then at one point I organized all the france photos on my Macbook into albums. Now I'm trying to move that organization to Lacie, so I tried to drag those albums over to Lacie using Library Manager. However, it asks if I want to import duplicate photos and I don't, so nothing ends up happening except that empty albums are created. Is there a way to do this, or do I need to do all of my organization directly on my Lacie? Any advice about better ways to organize this? I'm new to this multiple libraries thing so maybe other people have worked out better systems.
    Thanks!

    Ok, so, say I import a bunch of photos from a trip. I have these photos in events by day, say 7 days worth of events. Now I want to put some of them in albums: photos to send to mom, photos to post to flickr, etc. I don't necessarily want all of them to go into albums, but I don't want to lose the ones that don't go into a particular album. What's the best way to copy those over to the Lacie once I'm done? Is it better to make one folder with all the photos from that week and then have albums within it containing the subcategories, so that I can just copy all the albums? If I copy the albums and then also copy the events, will that work?
    I guess mainly what's bugging me is that in iPhoto, photos exist in events and then are also organized into albums, like the library and playlists in iTunes. Having to think about them as separate things to copy over is confusing and I'm not sure how best to do it. I want to keep the organization in events AND albums without having duplicate photos taking up space.

  • Software 2.2.1 Stops loading

    Trying to load the latest software upgrade 2.2.1 having a problem with it stopping with as high as 107 mb loaded out of 248.2 mb says network connection, never had this problem before. Tried turning off firewall still stopped. Any ideas?

    This can also be an anti-virus issue. Try turning that off for the download. Oh, and to set the record straight on 2.2.1, it was a minor upgrade to fix a few things that may or may not be a problem for you. These were skipping during playback of lossless compressed songs, fuzzy photos from images saved from Safari, and one other minor gotcha.

  • **Captured Video Playback Issue - Freezing

    I've capture 10 short video clips, and discovered when trying to play them back on the iPhone that some simply will not play. When you open the photo app, select the clip, and press the play button, the iPhone just locks up. Totally locks up. The only way I've been able to unlock is holding down both the Sleep/Startup button and the Home button for 10 seconds and the device resets.
    Once reset, if I go to a clip that works, it plays normally again, but select one of the bad clips, and it locks again (also locks if I try to delete one of the bad clips). To remove a bad clip I open the Photo app, highlight the clip or clips in question), press the options button, and then click Delete.
    However, once I deleted the clips that caused the crashing, some of the clips that played normally have stopped working and now freeze the entire device.
    Once while trying to delete some clips, the whole Photo app on the phone appeared to be completely empty. I restarted and it was the same - empty. Restarted again and everything was back.
    Help. I've got an appointment at the Genius Bar Saturday, and am hoping we can get to the bottom of this or get the phone replaced.

    Jason,
    I just went through the whole restore process, and the issue persists - crashing/freezing on playback of videos captured through the iPhone, as well as fuzzy photos (both viewed through the Photo app). On the fuzzy photo side, what's odd is the first photo you look at seems to look good; all after that look fuzzy. Strange.
    On the playback side, I'm wondering if there isn't an actual hardware issue that's causing that problem since the software has been completely replaced.
    Not happy with the current situation at all, as the camera is a pretty central function of the phone (for my uses) and as it stands I'm better able to use even the camera from my original iPhone.
    Taking this in Saturday, which is the first appointment I could get when I tried to go in on Wednesday. My concern is that tomorrow is the last day I think I could technically return this phone for a refund with no restocking fee. If I go in Saturday and get a replacement phone that's refurbished, as new as my phone is, I'm going to be feeling pretty annoyed.
    Thoughts or any additional things to try?

  • Convert Document with Photos to Adobe and the images go fuzzy???

    Hi, I am at a loss and hope someone can help me.
    I'm in charge of making a club newsletter in PowerPoint, and all that goes fine. I'm putting really good quality photo's in it and thats all ok too. But when I convert the document to a PDF with Primo (to view in adobe acrobat), everything else works fine, but all the images go really fuzzy, like a terribly poor quality photo.
    Anyone got any ideas on what I can do to avoid this? There must be a way to get a good quality image converted, as I have seen PDF documents with good looking images on them.
    Please, any help greatly apprciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    >I'm not sure if it's professional or not, but it is adobe acrobat 5.0
    Ah, Ok. This predates Acrobat Professional, but is much the same.
    I recommend you post in the Acrobat Windows forum to reach the people
    using Acrobat, rather than the free Reader.
    Be sure to say whether you are using the Acrobat PDFWriter driver or
    the Acrobat Distiller driver (the former is not used for quality
    output).

  • IPhoto enlarges photo to size of app window - small images get super fuzzy

    Hi,
    Just upgraded to iphoto 09 from iphoto 06.
    In the old version a small photo (say 300 X 400px) would show up at its (small) full size when double clicked. Since the photo was fairly small it would not take up the entire application's window, it would simply show at 100% and there would be some blank area around it.
    In the new version iphoto blows up the photo (beyond its full size) to fill up the application's window which, since it's much larger than the size of the photo, makes the photo super fuzzy and miserable to look at. I tried making the iphoto window smaller but it seems to have a minimum size that is still too big for some of these small photos.
    Does anyone know how to get iphoto to stop blowing up the picture when I view it? I'm not trying to edit or crop - simply view the photo at its original size. Also, when the photos are double clicked the zoom bar grays out unless I click edit - which is not what i want to do.
    Thanks!!

  • Photos are blurred/fuzzy after transferring them from iPhoneto my computer

    I was wondering if anyone else is having the same problem.  I have the new iPhone 4s and when I transferred my photos from the iPhone to my PC the picture quality was worse once I transferred them.  They are bright and clear on my iphone, but once I transfer them they are fuzzy and muted.  Is there a way to fix this.  I have tried emailing myself and transfering them using an app as well and each time they come out blurred and not nearly as vibrant as they are on my phone.

    yes come to think of it quite a lot of them are purchased music tracks. how would I authorise them to copy onto my ipod from my library. Sorry its probably really obvious but I'm not great with computers.
    Thanks
