How do you increase image quality when importing from Illustrator?

I have a logo that I created in Adobe Illustrator that I'm trying to place in Muse.  Every time that I do so, it's very low quality, fuzzy and pixelated.  After doing some reading around the discussion board, I tried resizing the image in both Illustrator and Photoshop so that I wouldn't have to do so in Muse.  That didn't help at all.  I also tried adding 1% transparency, which also did no good.  I know it's a high resolution image, so I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing wrong. 
Thoughts?

Is there a solid white rectangle behind the logo in AI? If not, please try again after putting a 100% opaque white rectangle behind it.
When smoothing the edges of content (anti-aliasing), the options are limited if the background color is not specified (transparent). If the background colors are known and 100% opaque, then much higher quality anti-aliasing can be achieved.
PNG preserves transparency. JPEG is opaque. When going to JPEG I would have expected AI to have performed high quality anti-aliasing, but perhaps that isn't the case. If you open the PNG and/or JPEG output from AI in Photoshop does it look pixelated there?

  • Bad image quality when importing from word

    When importing from MS Word 2003 to RH X5.0.2, embedded
    images are converted to jpg whith an obviously quite moderate
    compression qulity. This is particularly evident for screenshots.
    Is there a way to improve the image quality?

    Peter , these images were copied and pasted directly in to
    the Word-document (using the Print Screen button) but I did find
    out something. RoboHelp generates two image files of the types PNG
    and JPG for each Word image (named, e.g., image102.png and
    image103.jpg). Regretably, the lesser quality JPG is always
    referenced in the topics instead of the much better PNG. Sometimes
    the two images greately differ in size (pixel size), but most of
    the time they are about the same size.
    So the task might be to change the references in all topics
    using a script and then manually checking the images for their
    size.
    An observation: Any GIF images in the Word file (i.e., real
    *.gif files that were inserted over the Insert menue) remain GIF
    files after the import, they are not converted and maintain a good
    quality.

  • Does improving bit rate improve quality when importing from a lossy file?

    Okay, if that question made no sense, here's an example:
    I have a 5 Megabyte file encoded as an MP3 at 192 kbps.
    I like to keep all my files in one format though, and currently my preferred format is AAC.
    Would it make sense to convert it to 320 kbps AAC?
    I get the feeling that since the data for that bitrate is gone (since MP3 is lossy)
    it wouldn't make any sense trying to improve the bitrate. All I would get is a large file
    that sounds the same as 192 kbps AAC.
    Is that right?

    Yes and No.
    You are right that converting to 320kpbs AAC will not increase the quality since the data is already gone.
    However for the next but you are slightly wrong.
    What you will get is a large file that sounds the same as 192kbps MP3, which is not as good as 192kbps AAC (AAC is better quality than MP3 at the same bitrate).
    Also, there is always a loss in quality when going from one lossy format to another.
    If it's possible to go and re-encode the original source material at a higher bit-rate AAC I would definately do that, but if all you have is the 192kpbs MP3, then just leave them as they are and don't worry about having different formats.

  • After Effects Crops layer size when importing from Illustrator file

    I don't know if this was reported before, but when importing an Illustrator CS3 file with multiple layers as a cropped composition, some of the paths/objects get cropped horizontally - and the cropping is not even on both sides either (not that it makes any better or worse)- it is more cropped on the left side.
    I really would love an answer to this because I work mostly in that fashion, and it will be a pain if I lose this feature.
    Thanks in advance,
    Doug

    Yes, I made sure of that.
    In this specific case every other layer got cropped, independent of the size of the path, for example - in one layer I have the background that did not get clipped, the next has an oval (smaller than the first) - that got cropped; next some text - not cropped following that a cloud shape get's cropped and so on.
    Right now I do not have time for doing some tests, but I'll do as soon as possible.
    This has been my favourite workflow for client logo animation and I have been craving for new features in this feature such as sub layers becoming pre-comps etc.

  • How do you change the quality of imported PDFs?

    I have been creating fillable forms in LiveCycle ES2, using my companies existing PDFs, importing them as fixed images, and adding form elements on top. When I have been looking back at what LiveCycle is producing in terms of quality, versus the PDFs I initially import in Acrobat, the quality is substantially worse in LiveCycle, and any PDFs that I import into and save from LiveCycle look to be a much lower quality. The images of our forms I am importing into Acrobat are 250dpi, 8.5x11. They look crisp and clean in Acrobat. When they are imported, the text looks more grainy when zoomed in, and the logos have jagged edges. I read that LiveCycle, by default, imports PDFs as a medium quality JPG. First, is there any way around this? I can't find an option anywhere to change the quality. If not, is there a workaround that would allow me to accomplish my goals?
    I created a new, blank form in LiveCycle, added an image, and set it as the image of my PDF form. The quality is significantly better, however, the hierarchy is substantially different than when importing a fixed PDF, and I will lose my OCR recognized text from my original PDF.

    Kyle,
    Thanks for your response. To be clear, the way I am importing the PDF is by going to New in LiveCycle, and selecting Import a PDF document, and selecting Create and Interactive Form with Fixed Pages.
    I cannot change the forms or pages, as they are created by our local Board. In otherwords, I have tryed used the flowable content, and upon import, not only are the fonts slightly different, but all the important artwork (trade-related) is gone, and is not in the exact positions it was in. The forms must meet the standards to which they were approved by the regional board, and there are state-mandated forms as well.
    What surprises me is that you say this method of Fixed Content isn't used much any more. I would think that a lot of people would have PDF files they would wish to make into fillable, interactive forms without needing to reconstruct the entire document. Perhaps a company that has always done things on paper, and now wishes to use those exact same forms on the computer, with no deviations to looks so they can be printed and match up perfectly.
    I thought about using Acrobat's internal form creation system. However, some of these forms have sophisticated options and the calculation scripts and systems within LiveCycle are very useful. Not to mention that it has a much larger scalability, should we chose to utilize it.
    Any other suggestions? I am so confused why Adobe would force medium-quality import of a PDF, but be so incredibly flexible about every other option in their program.

  • Poor image quality when importing SWF

    I maintain a site for a photographer and as he added more
    images the SWF got to be very large, so I split up the site and
    used a main page to import the smaller SWF files into a target.
    However, I found that all my clean crisp images become dull when
    imported but still look sharp in the SWF itself. I tied to find all
    the JPEG settings and push them up but still with no luck. Does
    anybody have any insight to why this is happening?

    Hello micsaint111111111111,
    The reason they look more blurry than in the original swf is
    that you are
    dealing with dual compression from the original swf AND the
    swf you are loading
    the images into.
    The easiest/best way to import your jpgs would be using
    LoadMovie to load
    the actual jpg files. That keeps all the jpgs separate so
    your swf file will
    be tiny. Plus the quality will be the same as the original
    jpg.
    That said- have you gone into your swfs and changed the
    default image quality
    on each of the images to 90 or 100? You do that in your
    library by right-clicking
    on the actual images and then going to Properties and
    unchecking "Use document
    default quality". That is one issue that a lot of people seem
    to miss and
    it might help if you don't want to recode your Flash with the
    LoadMovie method.

  • How to get best image quality when inserting PDF into Word?

    I am able to insert a PDF as an object into Word, but the image quality is slightly blurry.  Is there anything I can adjust to improve image clarity in Word?

    You can try to extract the images using Extract All Images or select the Settings on the save screen that you get when you save to a DOC, but I think the general result is that the image saves with the same resolution as contained in the PDF. It may be that you need to just adjust your screen in WORD. You might want to look at the image in WORD and see if it is being used at 100% or some other resolution. Bitmaps are not very forgiving if the resolution is changed for the document and does not like anything other than low number fractions of resolution display change.

  • Poor Video quality when importing from SONY DCR-SR100

    I am brand new to Mac and iMovie and FCE. One of the reasons I switched to Mac was frustration over poor video output from Windows based video editing programs. When importing video from the SR100 into iMovie and then iDVD, the DVD quality is noticeably poorer than when the camera is connected directly to the Plasma TV. I have been reading these forums and loaded MPEG Streamclip and purchased the Quicktime MPEG2 Download, but I still can't get the video output to look as good as the camera. I obviously have some learning to do, but is there any hope of achieving equal quality output from a DVD as straight from the camera? Is there a good source of information/textbook on this topic? The biggest improvement comes from using the "de-interlace" option in MPEG Streamclip, but the overall quality of the video appears washed out and somewhat blotchy compared to the direct camera footage.

    Welcome to the macworld! What imovie does incredibly well is make it easy to create fun and interesting movies. I have used both for several years and only recently with some packages such as adobe premiere elements has the windows world kept up with the mac with respect to ease of use! And even know the packages are still not as easy as imovie. Anyway, with respect to your post and getting the video quality to the best possible output quality using DV material, you are on the right path. The best workflow is to use streamclip and de-interlace prior to editing in imovie. I am not sure if you are doing that yet with your workflow. Yes, its an extra step, but it is well worth it to avoid imovie dropping a field upon export. You can play around with the adjustments to increase contrast, color and et al on the adjustment button. Another option is shooting progressive.
    To set expectations, it is second generation footage the minute its imported. However, you should be still getting very good results. FCE gets footage closer to the original footage since it is a true DV editor and uses both fields, but imovie is still preferred by me because of how easy it is to skim, tag and find the material you want then easily do transitions and ken burns for photo's. Fantastic. The way i look at it....watching footage straight from the camera is the worst quality you can get -- It's like listening to your spouse talk and talk and talk and never get to the point until you forget what that point was....editing gets the footage straight to the point....thats quality!

  • Poor Quality When Imported From FCP

    Hello I have been having issues when importing a QT files into After Effects. When exported from FCP and imported into After Effects the footage loses significant quality, maybe a little interlaced. Ive checked and double checked fields, Im exporting in animation. Ive done both QT movie and QT conversion with the same result. Also it happens with files exported from FCP from other computers. Ive checked export settings & coposition settings. Any Ideas?
    Thanks

  • Can you use a subquery when importing from a file?

    I was wondering if the DBMS_DATAPUMP API allows using a subquery (DATA_FILTER) when executing an import from a file?
    I am unable of limiting my data when creating the export file because my subquery requires a database link, which is not an option on the server I'm working on. So I'm wondering if I can limit my data on the import from a file, rather than the export?
    Thanks for any advice...
    ivalum21

    I was wondering if the DBMS_DATAPUMP API allows using a subquery (DATA_FILTER) when executing an import from a file?From the documentation I would say yes:
    SUBQUERY:
    Specifies a subquery that is added to the end of the SELECT statement for the table. If you specify a WHERE clause in the subquery, you can restrict the rows that are selected. Specifying an ORDER BY clause orders the rows dumped in the export which improves performance when migrating from heap-organized tables to index-organized tables.

  • Text Quality when Importing from PowerPoint

    We're having to do a certain amount of importing from PowerPoint for productivity reasons.  Some slides show good imported text and some slides show really scraggy text.  I can't find any pattern behind this behaviour and have tried lots of different settings to try to get to the bottom of the issue.
    Has anybody else encountered this?  More's the point, has anybody else encountered it and managed to find out how to get consistently good text?

    We're using Captivate 7.  The powerpoint files are .pptx, either 2007 or 2010.
    Standard Arial system font.
    I don't know how the SMEs are creating the PowerPoint content, but I've tried it using both Powerpoint placeholders in the standard Office theme, and using inserted text boxes, and they all import and view just fine.  There doesn't seem to be any pattern to when the text goes scraggy.

  • How do l preserve image quality when reducing the size of my brochure for use as a pdf?

    l've designed a brochure full of my work, and reduced the size so l can email the final pdf...but my test recipients are saying the images are not sharp...they are too soft.
    Can anyone help me preserve image sharpness?

    Don't use the resize feature as the images will be changed to 72 dpi. Resize the images BEFORE adding them to Pages. Make them about 200 dpi if they are to be printed. You can have less resolution if the pdf is only for the screen.

  • Poor quality when importing from sony dcr-sr58

    Dear All
    I've got a sony dcr-sr58e video camera, and for ages the quality has been poor, once i've, a) imported the footage from the camera into imovie then b) from there to idvd then c) watching it back on a tv
    I thought it was just me being fussy, but friends and colleagues have noticed that its quality is comparable with an old vhs video camera!
    I put all the settings to the max (high quality etc....)on the camera but to no effect, and have checked the settings on imovie
    The sony support have stated that its probably a problem with imovie (which it doesn't seem to be)
    Fot the record i'm running OSX 10.6.8  with imovie version 9.0.4
    If anyone else has had a similar problem and solve dit i'd be very grateful to hear
    Thanks
    Kelly

    Hello kellyfromkenley, Depending on how you move the video or share the video from iMovie to iDVD it can make a big difference. One way is to go to the Share Menu > Share to iDVD. But the better is to Share to Media Browser instead. Try this:
    Go back to iMovie and open your Project in Project Library.
    Go to Share Menu > Share to Media Browser
    Choose the Large size and let it run until it finishes
    Quit iMovie and open iDVD.
    In iDVD click on the Media Button, then click on the Movies button and look for your project under the iMovie star icon in the Media Browser itself.
    Drag that project icon into the iDVD project window and burn another disk
    I think you'll see an increase in the visual quality using this method.
    The reason this has an effect on the visual quality is there's a whole different set of operations performed on the video when you first Share to Media Browser. The side effect of those changes in steps is a much better looking DVD from your iMovie project.
