Grainy export TIFFs in LR3  for use in preview! - LR2 worked fine....

HI all.
I've just ugraded to LR3.2 from 2.7 adnd i'm having troubles exporting my RAW files.
Once edited they look great on the LR screen, but the i export them as full sized TIFFs and then open them up again in Apple Osx 'Preview' and they appear very noisey and griany......a million mies away from how the look in LR.
Any ideas?
I have always used Lightroom and never had this problem in version 2.x, only now having the problem in 3.2. I've even tried editing the same file in LR2 and it works fine there..its LR3.
What am i doing wrong?
its driving me mad as i'm a wedding photographer and need to be able to send files to clients for them to view at home. If i export them as JPEGS, the same thing happens and they only view correctly9JPEGS & TIFFs) if i view them at 'actual size' in preview, which is no good as you cant see the whole photo because its too big....
I'm a photographer so i know all about ISO & noise etc etc and its not that. its something that happening in the export side of things.
I use: Apple Mac, oSX 10.6.4
Please help....i dont want to have to revert back to LR2 as 3.2 is great for everythig else!!!
Thanks!
Ben

Preview is just fine as long as you disable the preference to respect image and screen dpi. The "grainy" images the OP is noting might simply be an artefact of it being busy rescaling the image. I have noticed that with large tiffs, especially uncompressed files, it takes it a while to load the file entirely, rescale and show you the image. In the mean time, it will show a pixelated, low res image. The scaling that preview uses is usually criticised for being too aggressive in smearing everything over and causing the displayed image to be too soft. They changed the scaling to Lanczos in Snow Leopard for this reason, the same as Lightroom uses in the export step. Before it was using a bicubic algorithm I think that was much softer than Lightroom's scaling and because of that actually reduced noise and grain.

    Thanks, Flex harUI, for the direction in regards to isolating build changes. That aside (still working on it), can you offer any direction in regards to my original question on SDK and AIR compatibility? I'm specifically looking for a version compatibility mapping or anything that definitively states, "Flex SDK x.y.z works with the following versions of AIR". This information is crucial for us in order to more specifically plan our own roadmap built upon these two frameworks as we consider both existing installations of our software and future distributions.

  • After using my iPod classic in my infinity G35 a few weeks ago, I took it out of the car and it no longer works.  Just a white screen with the web address for Apple iPod support.  Worked fine when hooked up to iPod jack in car.  But wont work anywhere now

    After using my iPod classic in my infinity G35 a for the last few weeks, I took it out of the car and it no longer works.  Just a white screen with the web address for Apple iPod support.  Worked fine when hooked up to iPod jack in car.  But won't work anywhere now.  I tried re-setting but has not worked.  Any ideas would be appreciated.

    I finally resolved my problem after spending way too much time on it. I simply handed my 160GB iPod to my husband to put his fav Stones & Beatles songs on and I went back to my 80GB Microsoft Zune which has never disappointed me.
    After spending so much time trying to figure this out I did finally take it back to Apple Store who performed a diagnostic and found there was a problem with the device. They replaced it with a refurbished one which has similar issues. All I wanted to do was listen to my music. Was that too much to ask? So I am happy to be free of this problematic device. No more Apple for me!!

So it's not just youtube for me its all videos!
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == the last firefox update
    ''locking due to the age of this thread''

    haven't tried it myself but saw this earlier in a blog somewhere:
    "try retro installing FF v3.6.3",
    makes sense 'cos I've only been experiencing the same problem with mozilla & realplayer combo since updating to latest FF v3.6.4
    noted that under IE realplayer plugin still works fine, button to 'download this video' comes on as before.....
    from what I read retro install will pick up all your bookmarks etc. do no worries there
    naughty, NAUGHTY mozilla people! you were 'bombproof' until today....what happened? good luck sorting it out though!!!! I still luv you!

    my up to date iMac can not read the lightroom 5 installation dvd I received for christmas, the dvd player works fine with other dvd's, is there a way to download the program with the dvd's serial number?

    No need to worry about the disk version. You would just have to install an update anyway as soon as it was installed. Download from the link provided below and use the serial number you have to activate.

  • This an IPOD I bought used.  Everything else works fine.  It syncs to my computer and plays my music but will not connect to the USB interface in my car. My wife's IPOD, which seems to be identical, works fine.  Any ideas?

    This an IPOD I bought used.  Everything else works fine.  It syncs to my computer and plays my music but will not connect to the USB interface in my car. My wife's IPOD, which seems to be identical, works fine. I should say it connects but then immediately disconnects.  Any ideas?

    Then my last suggestion is to Reset it, while connected to the BMW Audio.
    Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the  next step
    Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs or till the Apple Logo comes ON
    Then release the buttons
    Select your preferred language.

    Hi Vijay,
    If you are installing Project Server on SharePoint farm, You need to start the service Project Application Service which would be available after you install project Server 2013.
    For Project Server Reporting you need to start Excel service and Secure Store service.

  • AP Express status light flashing amber for no apparent reason, network works fine

    AP Express status light flashing amber for no apparent reason, network works fine, any ideas?

    It flashes amber when there is some kind of conflict. If the internet is working but the amber light bothers you, airport utility ahould tell you why your airport is reporting a problem.
    If airport utility thinks your airport is normal and the amber light bothers you, do a hard reset on the device

  • Using nsMail email server, works fine in ns email tool, as of yesterday TBird 31.3.0 can not send or receive email. Have verified all setting for IMAP/SMTP OK.

    Will not retrieve incoming emails. When I try to send one, error message appears: "Sending of message failed.
    The message could not be sent using SMTP server smtp.ullisart.com for an unknown reason. Please verify that your SMTP server settings are correct and try again, or contact your network administrator." I have checked all IMAP/SMTP settings and they are fine. I can receive and send emails to the same address via the email server provider's email tool. Using nsMail, WIndows8, Firefox, latest version of TBird. All worked fine two days OK and have made no known changes to computer installation since.

    Thank you for your reply.
    >what SP are you at?
    As noted in the first paragraph: "We have an Exchange 2010 server, running under Windows 2008R2. Both
    the server and Exchange are current for Windows and Exchange updates. Exchange is on SP3 installed about a month ago with no errors reported in the event logs."
    >try restarting the transport services.
    Done previously as well as the entire server. No change.

  • HT4157 I have a Verizon MiFi device I use as a WiFi for my Macbook and it works fine. I am trying to connect my i Pad to this wifi device and it just twirls around like it is unable to locate it. Wondering what I should do?

    I have a Verizon MiFi device that I use as a WiFi for my Macbook and it works great. I am trying to set up my new iPad to the same device for WiFi and it comes up as a selection but when I click on it all it does it twirl around and won't connect. Needing to know how to proceed to get it to connect? Thanks

    There are other things to try.
    Turn WiFi off on the iPad, restart it and then turn WiFi on again.
    Reset the network settings on the iPad. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings, that makes you have to start all over again.

  • Time Machine fails to backup HD and stalls computer when backing up to external HD (Western Digital WD5000MT) when using Firewire 800 but works fine using USB

    I have a mid 2012 MBP (MacbookPro9,1) running Mountain Lion 10.8.2.  When I start a Time Machine backup to an external Western Digital HD (WD5000MT) connected using a Firewire 800 cable, my open programs stop responding and in general my computer freezes up not allowing me to open activity monitor or the console utility.  I can't even shut down or restart my computer and must hard boot to reset.  Though removing the firewire cable that goes to the external HD can sometimes get my system working again.  However, the WD external HD also has a usb port and when I connect it to my computer via a USB cable, Time Machine seems to backup my system fine without stalling my computer.  This same external HD worked fine with Firewire 800 using my old late 2007 MBP running snow leopard.  I should note that my brother has the exact same model WD external HD and he also had issues with the firewire port on his MBP running mountain lion.  I have run the disk utility checking for disk/file permission errors and the drive itself seems fine.  I initially formatted that drive as ExFAT but while troubleshooting reformatted to HFS+ and still had the same issue.  I tested using a different firewire 800 cable but still had the same issue.  Can't think of anything else to do.  I don't have another firewire-compatible device to test if it is the HD vs the firewire port.   I would prefer to use the firewire port for quicker transfer speeds but I'm stuck with USB for now.  Any suggestions?

    $headers .= "Content-Type:text/plain; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n  format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable";
