Hi quality display performance

I have a new mac Pro (Black cylinder) and 16 GBs of RAM. I know these days that's not a lot of RAM. With that in mind, when I set InDesign to High Quality preview everything just slows down drastically. Even with a super fast computer, this still occurs? Is that normal for others too?

What version of InDesign?

  • Switching to Win 7 kills High Quality Display Performance option?

    I recently switched from Windows XP to Windows 7.
    I am running CS2. The files I work with contain placed PDF pages in InDesign. I have verified all links are good.
    The placed PDF pages contain some pages that are scans, and some containing live text.
    I have the default settings for InDesign set to High Quality Display, and also verified with the contextual menu that it is on currently for the document.
    Printing is fine, and export quality is fine. (Yep I restarted, an really familiar with this setting, and switched them all around while trying several times, I even cleared the object level display settings.)
    When I was on XP I got a nice crisp preview, now there is no difference between "Typical Display" and "High Quality Display", not even a flicker as I switch settings. It definitely changes if I select "fast Display" to they gray boxes.
    All my text from the placed pages, even the live text, is really jagged, even if you zoom in.
    My graphics driver is up to date, I tried eliminating my page file, and also making it bigger. It is currently system managed at about 8000 MB.
    I am on an HP Pro 3130, 2.93GHz, with 8 gigs of ram, and an ATI Radeon HD 4550 video card. I have the same monitors as before, an HP L1906 (dual, identical monitors) set at recommended resolution. I have tried it a 60 Hertz and at 75.
    Old files that looked fine before and also new files all share this issue.
    I am not sure what else to try.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance!

    CS2 is completely unsupported under Windows 7.
    Additionally with 8 gigs of RAM I imagine (hope) that you're using the 64 bit versions. This is another fly in the ointment.
    Sorry, but it's time to upgrade to CS5. And this is pretty much your last chance at upgrade pricing. CS2 is the earliest version eligible.
    I suggest you take advantage of it now before you have to pay full price.
    If you have the suite you must upgrade the entire suite. The best deal I know of is on Amazon where you can save $30 and get free shipping: http://amzn.to/byP8go
    If you have the stand alone version the upgrade is just about the same price everywhere. $199. Just make sure you by from an authorized retailer.

  • (JS)  Setting Display Performance to High Quality

    I am currently using InDesign CS3 with the ExtendToolScript 2.0
    I have a script that imports XML to create business cards. Along with text it also imports the logo and picture for each employee. The script runs fine but I cannot figure out how to have the display performance setting to high quality so that the images to do not look pixelated on screen. I have tried the DisplayPerformancePreference setting and that did not work. Any suggestions or the line of code to accomplish this would me much appreciated.

    Hi Justin,
    // High quality display
    app.activeWindow.viewDisplaySetting = ViewDisplaySettings.HIGH_QUALITY;
    // Fast display
    app.activeWindow.viewDisplaySetting = ViewDisplaySettings.OPTIMIZED;
    // Typical display
    app.activeWindow.viewDisplaySetting = ViewDisplaySettings.TYPICAL;

  • Not saving Display Performance...

    Every time I close and then later return to a CS5 document the Display Performance returns to Typical. I have selected High Quality but when I save and close the document this is lost and I am forced into resetting it each time.
    This was not the behavior of my foamier InDesign version.
    Is there a control/preset I am missing? I looked in Preferences and some other areas but found nothing that seemed to set the Display Performance for the document.
    Thanks in advance.

    Look again...it's a preference setting.

  • High Quality Display -appears corrupted

    Hello,
    I have a problem with High Quality display of placed TIF files (InDesign CS3 5.0.4). When viewed at high magnification the image is replaced by a solid black with diagonal black & white lines across the top section.
    I've read through the archives of display performance issues and tried the suggestions, but have been unsuccessful in resolving the issue:
    1) Restored preferences
    Ensured the following options are selected:
    2) Object Display Performance > High Quality
    3) View > Display Performance > Allow Object Level Display Settings
    Placement of the image is critical with what I do, so because the issue is normally associated with CMYK TIFs I can usually use a Gray TIF to position correctly, then replace this with the CMYK version. However, the more complex the layout becomes, the Gray TIF too becomes "corrupted" at a high zoom factor. Of course, the exported PDF is always true, but I really need to view truly at high magnification in InDesign.
    I close all other applications to ensure it is not a RAM problem, but to no avail. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    3GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM

    Marvin,
    The TIF file in this example consists of a repeating sequence of adjacent columns in the following configuration: 8 white pixel, 7 black pixels.
    This pattern repeats across the width of the file.
    I've attached one of these files below. Please try to view it at 4000% when placed in InDesign.
    (Please note that this problem also occurs with photographic images as well).
    If I then crop the attached file in Photoshop, re-save and place in InDesign it will preview correctly at 4000%.
    If I leave it at its original dimensions, but convert to a Gray TIF, it will preview correctly -for a while, but eventually also become "corrupted". As I mentioned in my initial post, I've had to use a Grey TIF to get the placement correct, then replace with the CMYK TIF version. Saving with and without LZW compression makes no difference. The fact that the Grey version works temporarily has got me confused. As it happens, for the moment anyway, a narrow width file in CMYK is previewing okay, but then in the past I've used TIFs just ~100 mm wide and had the same problem.

  • ID CS6 Display Performance Issue

    Evere since upgrading to InDesign CS6, my Display Performance seems to render visuals erraticaly. As a default I keep everything set to "Typical" (under View > Display Performance). I have been noticing that some pages will render my placed graphics as though my DP is set to "Fast" (by showing solid grey boxes). I've also noticed when I change my setting to "High Quality", some of the pages will still render as "Fast" and some as "Typical". This is happening to different pages in the same document, but also happening in different (not all) of my documents.
    I'm wondering if anyone else is having a smiliar problem?

    That's certainly not typical. One possibility is that object level dispaly settings are enabled, and set to lower quailty for some reason on these images.  Another possibility is that your prefs are hosed. See Replace Your Preferences

  • Help, PE8 says: "Display performance will be poor due to incorrectly operating graphics card"

    I receive the following error message in the lower left corner of the screen upon starting a new project in PE8 or opening an existing one: "Display performance will be poor due to incorrectly operating graphics card or driver."  It seems that Premiere Elements 8 is not recognizing and hence not using my GPU to render files when burning DVD's.  Unlike PE4, which utilized my GPU ( I know this because I've installed GPU-Z which shows me when a program is utilizing my GPU) when encoding files and the like, PE8 takes more than twice as long to render the same files and projects when I attempt to burn to a dvd.  Not to mention it utilized my CPU at around 98% for the duration of the 2 hour burn, heating my CPU to dangerous levels. 
    I have the latest Graphics card driver for my Nvidia GTS 250: v195.62
    I've called technical support and they sent me to the following troubleshooting article, but I've tried everything to no avail: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/514/cpsid_51427.html. 
    Here are my computer specs:
    Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit, SP2
    Intel Quad-Core Q6600
    3 Gig Ram
    4 Hard-Drives
    Nvidia GTS 250 Graphics Card
    blah..blah..blah
    P.S. I can't re-install PE4 as it was bundled software that came with my wife's computer..and I consequently tried to uninstall/reinstall to my system with no serial number...Also, I don't want to revert back to an earlier nvidia driver on principle (b/c PE8 should work as advertised with the latest nvidia drivers) and more importantly, doing so might interfere with my games and other programs.
    One last thing.  PE4 utilized my GPU, I downloaded the latest trail version of Cyberlink's Power Director Software and it utilized my GPU, even windows dvd maker uses my GPU...However, I've spent a lot of time with PE4 and I love the features and the interface and would rather work with the latest from Adobe.  I'm using PE8 for a lot of video projects and I don't want to have to waste time watching it take 2 hours to render a DVD when PE4 did the same project in 45 minutes.
    Any advice regarding this problem would be much appreciated.  Thanks.

    It could be that the message is benign. Premiere Elements does not use your graphics card to render your video. That's a function of your processor.
    Your graphics card effects your onscreen display only. So, unless you're seeing a significant drop in the quality or function of your onscreen display, I wouldn't worry about it. (The program is likely switching automatically to a compatibility mode.)
    It could be that a Windows Update is conflicting with something in your graphics card's driver -- and it will eventually be corrected in a later driver release.
    So, unless your display is degrading when the program switches to compatibility mode, just ignore it and keep working.
    Version 8 is a massive resource hog and, for reasons I can't figure out, takes twice as long and uses twice as much power to accomplish the same things that previous versions accomplished using very little power. I'm not sure what Adobe's strategy is with this.

  • Display Performance Difference between CS3 and CS4

    I have a computer running CS3 and a computer running CS4. When I place an image in InDesign CS3, it looks way better than when I place it in CS4. The display performance for both computers are set exactly the same. Raster and Vector images are set to proxy, transparency is set to medium quality, Anti Aliasing is turned on.
    The CS4 computer:
    Processor Name: Dual-Core Intel Xeon
    Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 2
    Memory 4GB
    System Version: Mac OS X 10.5.8 (9L31a)
    CS3 computer:
    Processor Name: PowerPC G5
    Processor Speed: 2 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 2
    Memory 4GB
    System Version: Mac OS X 10.5.8 (9L31a)
    What am I missing? It is virtually every image.

    "You can adjust the quality of the the display itself without altering the name of the setting."
    Tried that. The end result is viewing images at the higher quality that slows down the machine.
    "Also, the size and resolution of images plays a role in how large the previews are, and their quality."
    The difference is very noticeable when the exact same image is placed at the exact same sizes in InDesign CS3 and CS4. Everything in the workflow remained the same, except the changing of InDesign files.

  • Why does the highest quality ('Display') resolution vary from exporting one slideshow to the next?

    When exporting a slideshow from iPhoto I'm selecting the highest quality (Display). I noticed that resolution setting (Display) varies depending on which slide show I want to export (i.e. 1000 x 800, or 1420 x 800). Why?

    Any ideas on keeping images on master pages consistently high quality display when exporting to pdf?

    Set up the Preflight panel so it checks image resolution. Ask your printer what the appropriate resolution is for your printing process, and set that in Preflight.

  • Missing image when export to pdf & in High Quality Display

    Customer sent me this file so I have no history. Latest version of InDesign. There are a few images that when I select the box it does not show it as linked, but there is an image there. These same images/boxes disappear when I select View>High Quality Display & they are also missing when I make a pdf. Many other images are linked and work fine. What's going on with these other images/boxes? Embedded maybe? I don't have experience with embedded images, how do I get them to show when making a pdf?

    Is this what your looking for Peter?

  • Illustrator CS5 display performance of fine lines and patterns

    Hi,
    is there a way to improve the display performance in Illustrator CS5? I am working on a large piece which has a lot of very fine cross-hatching that I create with dotted .5 lines (why I'm using Illustrator rather than Photoshop for that isn't open for discussion ). It looks fine when saved as a jpeg or exported to Photoshop, but in Illustrator itself the lines show up significantly thicker and darker - which is very confusing. Switching to Overprint/Pixel Preview doesn't change much.
    I've taken a couple of screenshots (taken at 16% zoom) to illustrate what I mean.
    Illustrator screenshot:
    Photoshop screenshot:
    Also I've noticed the same problem with pattern tiles - when zoomed out to ~50% they start to lose their seemlessness (and look like an incomprehensible mess)

    it's a very large file so I export it at 72ppi. But exporting isn't a problem - regardless of what resolution I export it at the lines always look smoother and softer in Photoshop. Zooming in at 100% in Illustrator gives an accurate display (exactly the same as in PS, I compared the two), it's only when I zoom out that the lines start to look rough and jagged.

  • Changing it from 'Typical Display' to 'High Quality Display.'

    To see this logo that is in Vector Image, I change it from 'Typical Display' to 'High Quality Display.'
    As you see this JPEG image, There's no change.
    What should I do?

    That looks as if it's just a really low quality image (like it was pullled from a website), and the view setting can't fix that. What's the effective resolution when you check the info panel?
    For what it's worth, this should not be a raster image at all, most likely, unless you are making a layout strictly for the screen.

  • Poor quality display on some iPhone 5 ( and 5c/5s?) units

    I'm on a family plan and as such I have multiple iPhone 5 phones.  I noticed that starting with the iPhone 5, many of the displays were visibly different than others.  For a long time, I thought the only issue was the vertical lines (interlacing) that many have reported ad-nauseum on these forums.  Yes it's a problem, but it would turn out it's not the only problem with these displays.  The other problem (and this turns out to be an even larger one) is that they are not even coming close to supporting the color gamut of the "good display" (i.e. the one that does not contain the interlacing lines).
    I've seen reports of the interlacing occurring on 5s units as well, and so I can only assume they also share the trait of having the horribly inadequate color reproduction.
    Below, please see the image of two iPhone 5 units.  The black unit has the good screen, insofar as it does not have the vertical interlacing lines visible and you'll notice the color wheel is displayed correctly.  The white unit has the visibly inferior display and lo and behold, it also can't even properly display the color wheel.  Notice the abrupt shift in colors and banding present in the image.
    Zooming in on the color wheel makes the inferiority of the display on the white iPhone more apparent.  I have read so many reviews about how great the iPhone 5 display is.  But it's not fair that they only review the good screen.  Then when we as customers get the bad screen we are left out in the cold, with reviews telling everybody how great the iPhone display is but with the reality being quite mediocre.
    I hope Apple stops allowing such a wide variance in display performance across their approved LCD manufacturers.  I didn't run this test just for the fun of it.  I ran the test because I was noticing how lackluster the screen on my white iPhone 5 was and wanted to verify it to make sure I wasn't going crazy.
    Hey Apple -- it's not a "minor thing".  Your cutting of corners does get noticed and it will influence your sales going forward as your competition improves.

    My first 5s had a PERFECT Screen. Perfect color accuracy and no interlaced lines shown in the image. I got that phone replaced however because the camera module was rattling much more than it should and in fact felt loose in the phone casing to the point where a vibrating notification would set off a rattlesnake like rattle.
    During the replacement process it's impossible to detect whether or not the display on the replacement units have the interlacing issue because the iOS 7 setup screens are completely white. After activating the device the Apple Genius has to process the replacement as a "Point of Sale" and your warranty is then transferred to that device. By that time it was too late for me to go back to my perfect display despite the rattle since that device was no longer "mine". I sat there at the genius bar for a good 40 minutes trying to show the genius exactly what the issue was with the new phone, and she just couldn't see it. Eventually I was able to get a flickering image up, which convinced the manager to let me go through another replacement. Alas this replacement also has the issue. In fact while looking at the display models in the store, about 3/4 devices had the issue, even the iPhone 5c.
    I am going back to another apple store in my area next week to see if I can actually get a genius to see the issue and provide a replacement that doesn't have this issue.
    I do believe however, when I was comparing my old perfect screen to the new flawed one, the perfect screen had really good calibration for the whites. The replacement had a distinctly warm feeling. If you're going in for replacement for this issue, open up a pure while image and compare it to the activation screen of the replacement. If the replacement has a noticeably cooler display but is not blue tinged then that panel probably does not have the interlacing issue that so many of us are experiencing.
