High res preview in iondesign cs5

Hi Guys,
quick question, for some reason when selecting a image in indesign CS5 and ctrl click display performance, high quality nothing happens?
What are the default settings in the prefs so when I am working the graphics are medium res until I specifically ask for high res preview?
High Quality is pushed all the way up but the preview still looks pixelated?
lister

There are two possibilities here. Perhaps the image is really low res at the size you are using it (waht doe the info panels say for effective resolution?), or maybe you don't have Allow Object Level Display Settings turned on.

Is there a way to publish a high-res .ipa from Flash CS5.5 with AIR for iOS?

Hello,
I've developed an app for iOS in Flash specifically for iPad 3's. My client uses SOTI MobiControl as it's mobile device management solution. If I publish out of Flash using AIR SDK 3.1 or newer the app is created and looks high-res on the iPad3. When they try to add the app to SOTI for in-house distribution it errors with the error claiming that "CFBundleDisplayName" has been left blank.
After having looked into it I've been able to find out that when publishing with versions of the AIR SDK older than 3.0, the info.plist file within the app package includes a CFBundleDisplayName. In versions newer than 3.0 there is no CFBundleDisplayName in the info.plist.
Is there a way to publish for iOS from Flash utilizing an older version of the AIR SDK and having true high-res graphics that will look proper on an iPad3?
Thanks in advance for any help.

It's not AIR that's lacking the key in the plist, it must be Flash Pro, although it's just running adt itself. I use AIR 3.4 and I compile via adt command line (because Flash Builder 4.6 still has not been updated to handle warnings from ANEs during compile, grr). I have CFBundleDisplayName in my plist file. Have you tried compiling on the command line?
Here's an Adobe page with a bunch of examples compiling with ADT on the command line:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/build/WS901d38e593cd1bac1e63e3d128cdca935b-8000.html
Being unaware of what in-house distribution system that actually is, I have noted that some people had previous issues submitting apps Flash compiles. Their solution was to rename the AppName.ipa to AppName.zip, extract the Payload folder, copy the AppName.app inside there out, then rename that AppName.app to AppName.ipa. Then it was accepted. Not sure if that old issue still exists.

High Res image in photoshop cs5

This may seem a simple issue , but i want to make a picture that is 140mm by 170mm using an existing hi res image , i've put the sizes into a new document in ps.
I then dragged the high res photo i need into photshop, the photo is 6144pxl by 4113pxl so is very large, but when i drag it to PS it goes really small about a quarter of the size of the new document template, i then drag the image to to my new correct sized document template but i have to enlarge it , which in turn makes it go blurred.
What am i doing wrong? i thought that as it is so big i would have to make it smaller to fit and it would be easy?
I hope you can help me
Regard's

It is a physical problem that is very easy to understand. The image below represent the letter o drawn using 3x3 pixels. Can you draw it on less than 3x3 pixels and still be recognizable?
While this is an exaggerated example and if displayed with the size of monitor pixels the letter won't be legible anyway because of the tiny size, the example shows the nature of the problem. The characters in a font have details that need a certain number of pixels to be displayed as intended. When using editable text, if the number of pixels available for the display of the font is low then the font technology uses a trick called font hinting which optimizes the font for smaller sizes and this is not possible if you text is rasterized and not editable.

What Slows Up Computer in Displaying High Res Preview?

When I switch to preview mode, vector files with lots going on combined with large Photoshop files, for instance, take a long time to display. Is this because of RAM, processor speed or video display? Which of these systems is doing the work?

Upgrading the video card makes more sense than adding more RAM, but I doubt it will make enough difference to justify the expense. Consider setting the Display Performance to Allow Object Level Display and set these monsters to Typical instead of High Quality, and or make sure Live Screen Drawing is set to Delayed or Never, and/or turn off page thumbnails in the Pages panel, any of which should speed rendering. Turning off Live Preflight might help, too.

Why does "Print Booklet" from Indesign CS5.5 only create low res pdf? How do I get High Res for Offs

Long time ID user in Agency. Created a simple 4 page brochure in CS5.5 ID. Facing pages for cust size 11x17 half fold document.
Generating the pdf for Press and HQ Print renders a nice high res document, but the print booklet feature only produces a skinny low res version. Tried to mess with the printer settings, but the result is the same with a skinny low res document.
I didn't want to recreate the brochure as a two page manually imposed as I like the option of being able to add more pages in increments of four of course. Plus it's just silly to do that when ID is supposed to handle it for me.
I worked around it this time by printing to .ps output then distilling, and then splitting the document so printer could have a "front" and "back" 11x17. But this seems kludged big time. This has to be a bug unless I am missing something.

You probably never changed the default settings in the PDF printer properties. In the print booklet dialog, click the Print Settings button, then the Setup button at the bottom of the Print Dialog that pops up, choose the PDF printer and click on Preferences. Reset the default reset the default settings to the ones you really want to use, or reset them in Windows... Control Panel > Devices and Printers... Double-click the PDF printer, then from the print queue dialog, Printer > Properties... General tab and clcik the Preferences button.

How to I get high res thumbnail images?

Just discovered once I've imported images into my library Aperture 3.2.2 (running under 10.7.3) doesn't render high res thumbnail images (when the Browser Thumbnail Resize slider is set to the far right/maximum), even though my "Previews" preference settings are as follows:
"Use embedded JPEG from camera when possible" is unchecked
"Don't Limit" for Photo Preview is selected
Photo Preview quality set to 10
Deleting and regenerating thumbnails doesn't solve the issue. However, if I delete the photo from the referenced library, then reimport the image, the browser thumbnail image renders sharp. The low res thumbnail is at left; high res thumbnail (after re-import) is at right. Both thumbnails images are sharp when the Browser Thumbnail Resize slider is positioned in the middle. Photos render sharp in the Viewer, regardless.
Going back through my images, it seems Aperture stopped providing a sharp thumbnail image since around July 2010. Other than updating Aperture, my workflow or supported camera hasn't changed. Couldn't find a reference to this issue in the User Manual. Am I missing something a setting somewhere?
Thanks,
Eric

Its unclear if the command Generate Thumbnails actually does anything if the thumbs already exist and as there isn;t a Delete Thumbnails command like there is a Delete preview command there are only two ways to force a new thumb to be generated.
One is to import the image again and two is to delete the Thumbnail folder in the Aperture library. I don;t know for sure if this will fix you problem but as I said it is the only way to force the generation of the thumbs.
If you try this make sure you have a good working backup of the library. Nothing here will normally cause data loss but it is always a good idea before messing with the library.
Quit Aperture, Highlight the library in the Finder and right click, Select show package contents. One fo the folders you'll see is Thumbnails, delete it. Open Aperture.
Also be aware that the regeneration of the thumbs will take some time. Depending on the size of the library it could be an all day affair. Aperture is usable while this is going on but it will be slower.

Is it possible to create a script to produce a high res and low res pdf and jpeg from Indesign at the same time

Hi, I'm just wondering if there is a way to automate a long process I have to do to create assets for my job.
I have a single page InDesign 6 file which I have to output three ways:
A low res pdf without bleed or trims
A high res pdf with bleed and trims
A low res jpeg downsized to 2% of original size.
If anyone knows if this is possible I'd love to hear from you.
Thanks in advance

Automation requires creating your own IDML script for output. Scroll down on this page to the section on Scripting resources. The text is a bit confusing. It says InDesign CS5 Scripting resources, but then the paragraph for that section says the PDF files are for CS6. I haven't read through these, I just found them by searching for "indesign automation". It does say in part that is can be used for preparing files for printing, so once you figure it out, it should be a single click option to do all three steps.
You can do them now with the menus you have, assuming you also have Acrobat Pro installed. With any document open, choose File > Adobe PDF Presets, and choose either from the prebuilt defaults, or create your own in the Distiller. However, I don't see a way in the Distiller settings to choose whether or not to include bleed and marks, so I'm not really sure how you'd have them on for one and not the other. As far as JPEG output, that can be chosen under Export. You get a choice to set a resolution and JPEG quality level, but not a size, so the output will be the dimensions of the document.

Is it possible to maintain a high res workflow on new iPad?

I hope I'm wrong.
It does not seem possible for me to use all these amazing syncing tools such as photo stream, aperture, iPhoto and the camera roll to maintain a high res workflow.
I have an image shot on my iPhone 4 open in aperture acquired from photo stream at it's full size 1936 x 2592.
I view the same image in iPhoto on my "The New iPad" or iPhone 4 (that I shot the image on) and look at the info, it's been reduced to 1536 x 2056.
I also emailed myself the same image directly from photo stream from the new iPad and it's also showing up at the same reduced resolution.
When I email it from the phone and tell it to send the full size image it still opens up on my computer at the reduced size.
The help section of iPhoto on the iPad said that photo stream would send the images at full resolution to all my IOS devices.
Seems like the only way to acess a full res file is to pull them photo stream in aperture.
When I synced with aperture to populate my camera roll and iPhoto on the new iPad... all of my images are showing up on the iPad at the same reduced size... 1536 wide. (I already have my preferences set to not place limits on preview sizes).
Anyone have any insights?
Thank You

iCloud (Photo Stream) and iTunes both limit the resolution of images sent to iOS devices. Photo Stream does not limit the resolution of images sent to the PC or Mac.
If I load a picture in to my iPad 2 or 3 using the Camera Connection kit they come in at full resolution.

How do I get high res aperture images on new iPad?

I want high quality images synced from aperture. I bought the new ipad specificaly to do artwork and image maniuplations. I was loving the ipad 2 but working with such low res images won't work for reporduction. I thought with the new ipad when I synced to aperture that I would get higher res files. They look like the same small images to me.

Art,
I'm still working out the details myself, but I may have some helpful information.
If you are syncing through iTunes, then I believe the resolution is dictated by the preview preferences in Aperture. I can't remember what the default setting was, but I changed it to the maximum allowable for the iPad1 some time ago. The new iPad can handle more resolution, so you can change the setting in preferences to a higher level. Here is where it gets tricky, I don't think Aperture automatically updates the preview to the new settings. In fact, I it tells you it is up to date. I got past this by forcing the generate new preview feature (select the photo, hold down the option key, right click, and select generate preview). I suggest doing this with one photo to see how it works for you. Ff you do 1600 like I did, it takes some time. Although, I'm still hoping for better, I can see the difference immediately over my iPad1 settings. I am able to zoom in on the ipad, which much less obvious degradation of the image.
I did get some variation in the preview size, even though the full image sizes are close. My file size ranged from 800K to 2.8M for some sample images transferred to the ipad. This happened at the "no limit"setting in preferences.
As I said, I'm still playing with it. I bought the 64GB model so I could store and present very high resolution photos on the iPad.

Poor image display in CC Bridge with high-res monitor

I have recently upgraded to CC (Windows 8) and also added a high-res monitor (3840 x 2160 @ 185 ppi). However, the display of the RAW images in Bridge Preview is fuzzy and JPEGgy looking. If I put the loupe over some text in Preview, the larger louped area of text is tack sharp, while the smaller Preview display is fuzzy. I read that CC supports high res monitors (HiDPI support). Am I missing something, or need to change some settings to sort this issue?

Edit Low-Res, Export High-Res

Is there a way to edit with low-resolution video files (for quicker rendering times) and when the project is finished, final cut can access the corresponding high-res files for output?
Gopro automatically creates .mp4 files and .lrv files after a shoot. The .mp4 files are 1080p and my computer has trouble even wathcing them. The .lrv files (stands for low-resolution video) are like 480p and would be awesome to edit with, as long as final cut could keep track of all the snips and affects and apply them to the corresponding high-resolution .mp4 files.
anyone ever heard of or done anything like this? seems like it would help a lot.

interesting.. multipe drives, i didnt even know FCP kept such good track of all your drives!
I'm no good in 'details', but like to explain 'concepts':
when you cut a video, you don't literally splice a 100MB file into two 50MBs ones
think of FCPX basicly as a data-base: there's a pool of data (Events); there are lists of instructions (Projects) - the lists don't touch the content. Same concept with Proxies: the Preview window is so tiny - why shoveling the GBs back'n forth, if a 'reduced' version is on display anyhow? No need to edit 'natively': the 'edit list' = Project has to use the originals only on export.-
so, FCPX handles here <counting> six drives. And I'm just a soccer-dad, doin' weekend reports (ok, using 5 cams, all diff. standards - shoestring budget) - no problem. It's me who needs EventManagerX not to get lost with all this games and players and seasons and stuff
vice versa: one of the biggest mistakes is to confuse this data-base by moving files 'behind its back' - soooo many reports 'Events lost!', just because some smart moved data OUTside FCPX via Finder - no wonder, the data-base loses track!
last word about the concept of data base: that's why 'file names' and manual folders are completely waste of time - tags are much better, add as many key-words and meta-data you like - and let the data base find the clips for you (a computer is much faster in search'n find).-

… i'll have to try that out for myself...
It works surprisingly well! I was a huge fan of iMovie for years, and when switching to the Big Toy, my first concern was 'will it blend compute?' No budget here for a new Mac - and it does perform well. Very well. For a slow guy like me ..........

How can I generate/copy to high-res rasterized output?

Okay, I admit, I'm very new to vectoring, but I'm running into an annoying rasterization problem with Adobe Illustrator CS3.
Ok, so I have a vectored image. It's low-res (72 DPS), because it's basically just lines. The preview window in Illustrator shows beautiful, totally smooth lines: picture-perfect. I "Select All", copy it into Photoshop (as pixels), and lo and behold, the image looks totally crappy! All jagged edges, no anti-aliasing, etc. So I figured I just make the image a bit larger, set the document raster size to 300dpi, and saved the new .ai file. To no avail, either. Even transformed it to higher res. Didn't solve it either.
At long last I resolved to just taking a bloody screengrab from the preview window, thinking that would at least give me a clear shot. Alas, I thought wrong. Illustrator still passes a crappy image to Photoshop! (Or rather, what you get in PtrScrn is apparently still vectorized data that Photoshop continues to show horridly). So, now I'm faced with an Illustrator preview window that can show the vectored image better than anything else, but with no way to export it in that quality to a rasterized image! Very frustrating.
I hope someone knows how to solve this. Thanks.
P.S. I wish I could show you, but I can't make the screengrabs!
P.P.S. I'm talking about "Overprint preview" above. "Pixel preview" also looks crappy in AI. So, the question then becomes, how can I output my stuff in "Overprint preview" quality?

Please do not pay attention to the rude and sarcastic Doug Katz
No, please do.
Threads like this are quickly becoming the most common type in this forum: Someone who has obviously spent zero time looking at the documentation, just launches a program which they admit they know nothing about, and then come here asking for help using ambiguous gibberish that makes absolutely no sense in the context of the program. Then they try to "cover up" their sloth with "cute" or "hip" colloquialism.
Doug's sarcasm is dead on-point, and is a very clear and succinct way to drive home what I just said above (which you will no doubt consider "rude," regardless of the fact that it is just a simple and direct statement of the truth).
The thread then proceeds to become a lengthy series of blind-leading-the-blind posts, with everyone making mere guesses as to what the thread originator is actually doing. To wit:
It is not necessary to use the Smart Objects option to obtain smooth rasterization of something copied from Illustrator and pasted into Photoshop. That is not the purpose of Smart Objects. (See the documentation.)
It sounds like Iwakura-san is merely pasting something into Photoshop, seeing the initial unaliased display inside the transform box, and assuming that something is wrong. When you paste vector artwork from Illustrator into Photoshop, you get the Paste As dialog. You can then select Pixels, instructing Photoshop to rasterize the vector artwork (Photoshop is doing this rasterization, Iwakura-san, not Illustrator) to the resolution of the current document after you have positioned and scaled it as desired. As long as the artwork is shown in its transform box, you can scale it and position it because it's still on the clipboard as vector artwork and only a low-res preview of it is being displayed, to facilitate your positioning it. When you have it positioned and scaled as desired, doubleClick inside it, and it will then rasterize to the Photoshop document's resolution and antialias.
But again...that's all just more guessing at the meaning of a very poorly described question.

No high quality previews in Bridge under Version Cue

I posted this in the 'Bridge' forum but didn't get any responses... thinking maybe someone here might be able to help?
I've started to work with Version Cue, which seems like a useful idea.
However, within Bridge, when I preview a PSD file it shows a pixelated, low-res version. I have set the preferences to display "high quality previews" and purged the cache, restarted, etc. The previews for non-Version Cue files are fine.
For Illustrator files under Version Cue, the previews stay small - i.e. the same size as the thumbnails.
I really need to be able to view HQ previews in order to continue using Version Cue - anyone know how to make that happen?

I was quite calm.
I've previously posted messages here and always had them answered within an hour or so, so that's why I wasn't sure if I'd posted in the correct forum. It's not that I expect "you" to answer me more quickly. Obviously this question falls between several different products, so I thought maybe I should have found a 'Version Cue' forum or something.
Sorry, I should have provided version details:
Bridge version 2.1.1.9
Version Cue version 3.1.0
Running on OSX 10.5.4
It seems to me that one of the main uses of Bridge is to be able to use high quality previews to look through alternate designs. So if this doesn't work with Version Cue, which is all about controlling different versions of designs, that seems unfortunate.

Is Motion or After Effects best for animation of High res. photographs

Hi everyone. I’m a novice when it comes to Motion, having worked more with FCP, and I am encountering some confusing differences!
I’m making an animation from a high res. Scanned ‘photograph’ of a flower, and I hope to maintain the great image quality, plus working with a short sound file (breathing) as a guide for the movement. (The final output is going to be large scale projection using a HD projector, which I understand is 1920 x 1080, with smaller versions for pre-view purposes.)
The move to Motion from FCP has phased me (co-decs, pre-sets etc.. so many options) I could re-size it to suit, DV, HD or most of the ‘sizes’ supported by Motion but I’m lost as to which settings would be best for my purposes.
I have done various tests with different pre-sets and have found that the longer and more complex the animation gets, the more jittery the playback is. I am wondering if there is a way I can work with Motion that resolves the the perforamnce thing, or if what I am doing ( length and size of animation) would be more suited to After Effects.
I love Motion, esp. the language used in the manual and would prefer to stay with it.
Thanking you all. I really want to understand this whole ‘video’ to ‘still-image’ move I’m making.

First of all, you could do your video in either program and would likely get similar results (depending on your relative skill in each program). There's certainly no reason not to stay in Motion if you're happy with the interface. After Effects has just as many confusing settings as Motion when it comes to output so you're probably not going to feel any better there.
Considering your output, I would start your project with the Broadcast HD preset. That will give you the 1920x1080 frame size which should look great on your projected screen. I would tend always to work in an HD framework when working with stills since typically they'll be of high quality.
Make sure your stills are prepped properly for video (which is different from how they would be scanned for print work). Scan them in at a good size resolution 2500 px along the longest side at 72 dpi (high dpi is not necessary for video work). Also, use uncompressed pic formats like TGA, TIF, or PSD.
You didn't mention how long the sequence was, and length does make a difference at times because Motion is run primarily through the graphics card as opposed to the processor. This is a primary difference between Motion and AE.
When you are talking about jittery playback, keep in mind that it's the gfx card that is providing the "real-time" playback to begin with. So the larger the project, the less likely that the card is going to be able to play back in real-time. If timing is an issue you can change the view to draft (default is normal), or you can do a RAM preview (CMD+R). AE has NO real-time playback without a RAM preview, so keep that in mind.
One more thing. There are several ways to do the same thing in Motion. Some of them put more pressure on the card than others. Keep your project as simplified as you can while working, and turn off things like thumbnails and previews to speed up performance.
Good luck,
Andy

.jpgs/.pngs no longer save as high res, previous high res .jpg/.pngs show up as medium res

I need some serious HELP! All of a sudden, without doing anything that I know of, my saved exported .jpgs/.pngs are no longer saving as high res. Also, when I pull up high res images (I know they are high res), they now show as medium res in Illustrator. I've used these program for a very long time, and I have no clue why this started a few days ago? I didn't even realize it was converting older files to medium res until today.
Any help would be most appreciated! I have never encountered this problem before, and I've created thousands of images for clients web/print.
Thanks so much!

Tara,
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
I believe 5) is least likely to be relevant.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.
