Grainy pictures on camera?

Compared to the camera on my iPhone and my MacBook Pro, the camera on my iPad sure does create a mess of grainier pictures. Any ideas on how to correct?

The iPhones, especially the 5 models, have vastly better cameras than the iPads. Under extreme shooting conditions (low light, fast action, etc.) the difference will be very obvious. Base line, this is a hardware issue and unsolveable.
However, you can try with different non-Apple camera apps as some do offer better processing and results compared to the stock Camera app. YMMV

Why does the camera take grainy pictures

I have two iPads of the same ipads.
I noticed one of them takes grainy pictures and videos and the others quality is great.

I have not yet set them side by side. But pretty much so. One of them gets a poor
picture in sunny conditions, they are both models with retina display.
The only difference is one
has more memory and a CDMA modem.

Grainy Picture in iSight

Howdy all
Just a quick question, my iSight camera seems to give a particularly grainy picture. Noticed it when I set up iChat with my brother (he's on a MacBook) and his picture was remarkable better than mine. We were sitting across from one another in the same room, and even switched places in case it was simply bad lighting. not sure what the problem is really.
Afraid I'm not sure how to post a picture in this forum so that you guys could have a look at what I'm talking about.
Anyone had this problem before? Purchased the laptop approx 5 or 6 months ago.

I have the same problem only this solution didn't work for me. The weird thing with my camera is that it was fine yesterday, but today the picture has a kind of yellowish, slightly mottled appearance.
It's not application specific or user specific - already tried that.
Anyone else had this?

Is there any way I can view / remove pictures from Camera Roll on the iPhone, on a Mac, without actually importing the files?

Is there any way I can view / remove pictures from Camera Roll on the iPhone, on a Mac, without actually importing the files? I just want to view / delete files without importing them.
For instance I have 1200 photos on my iPhone Camera Roll. Some of these are shots, that I've taken multiple times, some good, some bad. I just want to clean up my Camera Roll, but going through the pictures on the iPhone's small screen is tedious. I'd much rather look at the camera roll's photo's on my Mac, and then decide which files I'd like to keep, and which to delete.
I don't want to import the files, as when I import the files, and delete them from Camera Roll, now the Photo's are not on my phone, and the only way to get them back on my Phone is to Import them back in using iTunes, and then they go into the Picture Library and not the Camera Roll.
In the same way as I can view Pics from my digital camera's SD card on a Mac without having to actually copy them to my computer, is there any app out there that will let me view my iPhone pics without importing them.

The short answer is yes.
Connect your iPhone to your computer.
Open Image Capture application.
Click on the 4 little squares at bottom to view them as photos, not a list.
Select the photos them click the No Entry icon at bottom to delete.

How can I put selected pictures from camera roll into a seperate album removing them completly from camera roll??

Im gunna be straight up honest here.. I have some rude pictures of my girlfriend on my iphone which I would like to keep for my own personal viewing but obviously dont want family and friends seeing when they are flicking threw my camera album which often happens. I had intended to make a private album put them all in there and put a passcode on the album. With all of apples features I would of thought this would be a standard thing you could do, however when I made the private album the pictures were still in my camera roll and if I try to delete them I am told the pictures will be removed completly from my phone.. This is stupid. What is the point in being able to make albums if the pictures are going to still all be in the camera roll!? Does anybody know of a way I can move pictures from camera roll to a private album?? Any help would be much appreciated.

Photos placed in a user created album or in an existing album are not copied/duplicated. The photos placed in an album include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Camera Roll. Having an album for select photos is for viewing the select photos only without having to see all photos in the Camera Roll.
The same applies to albums transferred from your computer. All photos transferred from your computer are stored in the Photo Library. Photos on the albums below include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library. The photos appear as they are duplicated when they are not. This way you can view the photos in an album only by selecting the album, or all photos on the Photo Library or Camera Roll by selecting it.

Hi dreamafrombartow,
I hope you are able to get your pictures back. Do you have a backup anywhere else?
I did find a couple articles that may help with your recovery.

Open pictures in Camera RAW and still have paths/clipping paths?

Hello
A big problem in Bridge is that I can not open my pictures in Camera RAW and still have my paths left. I work in a place where we get loads of product photos from many different companies and they almost always have a clipping path in it. Many of the pictures do we have to fix like colour, exposure etc and this is here Bridge comes in as the best solution to batchfix them. But now I have to take the long way through Photoshop. Is there a solution for this?, an update from Adobe or a script or something.
Have a nice day!

You do know that you can deconfigure Camera Raw from opening TIFFs and JPEGs, right?
These are the settings I've chosen. Done this way, JPEGs and TIFFs just open right into Photoshop, and their clipping paths would be intact.

Double tap Home button and delete Camera app from multitask-list.
Do a

I took a picture using camera plus app. The photo shows up in my camera roll as a thumbnail; however, when I tap to view the photo it comes up as a gray box. I tried downloading, emailing, and copying the picture, but it always saves as a gray box. Can anyone help me?

Hi Giorgiovdb!
Unfortunately I cannot help you; all I did was test for you.
I did an upgrade over my Lion install with Mountain Lion which went fine. I just tested icon view in my Finder on different files and folders and here in my installation all stays fine; good readable like in column view!
The only thing you might try is change your Font in Finder and set it back to the original afterwards!
I quickly Google'd how to change fonts in the Finder as appearantly there's no obvious gui item for it:

Try to see if it brings you anywhere!
At my post all fonts act normal after my upgrade to Mountain Lion; I don't do a clean install unless I really have to!
Goodluck!

How can i delete a picture from camera roll without deleting everywhere

how can i delete a picture in camera roll without deleting everywhere

You can't, when you 'copy' a photo into an album that you've created directly on the iPad then you are effectively just creating a pointer to the photo and not creating a second copy of it - so if you then delete the original photo from your iPad you will also be deleting all pointers to it and therefore removing it from other albums.

HT201302 How to delete all pictures in Camera Roll at once?

How to delete all pictures in Camera Roll at once?

It's so easy on a Mac - open Image Capture utility, conect iPhone and then you see all the pictures and videos, just arrange them and delete what you wish. I just recovered 13GB on my iPhone...
It would be useful to import them beforehand if needed:)

Is there away to save the pictures on Camera Roll into an Album?

How do I move the Pictures from Camera Roll to a designated album?

Import the photos with your computer as with any other digital camera. Organize the photos into albums or folders on your computer as with other photos on your computer followed by transferring the albums or folders to your iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process.

I am unable to import pictures from camera to iphoto 9 or 11 without getting message saying "the file is an unrecognizable format" They are JPG files like always but now i can only import from a CD. What is the fix to this problem?

I have always been able to import pictures from camera to iphoto without a problem. Now, for some unknown reason our iMac and Mac Laptop will not import pictures from camera to iphoto 9 or 11...what is the fix to this problem? It will only accept import from a CD.

Just installed elements 10. When I try to download pictures from camera card, elemnets 6 comes up to process. I did mconvert.

It sounds like a configuration option. I would recommend posting your inquiry to the Photoshop Elements forum though. Also please include which operating system you are using when reposting your inquiry.

Downloading pictures from camera

I am trying to transfer new pictures from camera (they come up in a search so I know they are in the computer)...BUT I am unable to transfer them to the place where all my other photos are ('My {Pictures').
When the search results are on the screen there is no option to create new file names and move individual pictures to the new files. i.e./ I want to file pictures under different topics.
I have many other files (done in the past). For some reason this morning I cannot find the right options.
Maybe something has changed?
Maybe I have to buy something?
Maybe I am too stupid to have a computer?
Maybe I should be doing something more useful>?
HELP.........!!!!

Downloading pictures from camera
I downloaded photos from my camera.....not sure which program I used.....I THINK it is Adobe Photoshp starter edition 3.0.
But I dont know where those photos are.
When I search them....they all come up under a file name that I used. But then they are in a place called Search Results (of course).
However ...with all my other photos (downloaded months ago)...under that same file name, there are only 3 photos transferred to it.
At some point this morning, I was able to click and drag and drop into the file where I want it.
My hope was to subdivide about 99 pictures into 4-5 different folders. I ran into problems when I was trying to set up new folders with different names.
I think, maybe, I have downloaded at different times using different programs. then different programs would not speak to each othere!??!
Things pop up and I follow thru.....now today....after 3-4 hrs messing with this I recognize that there are 3 different systems in my terminal: Dell's, Adobe and Corel.
Can you follow all of this?
I really appreciate hearing from someone.....
Thanks in advance for your efforts.
