How to improve image quality on mobile devices?

I'm setting up a webcomic at http://minigiggles.com that uses a Flash SWF to show a sequence of images and text within the SWF for each cartoon. I don't want to use a slideshow type setup with individual images because I want people to be able to hotlink and embed the webcomic in their websites. So the images are part of the SWF. On my Droid phone the edge of the images is ragged, while the text is smooth. (When using a Wordpress slideshow plugin where the images are separate files, they display very nicely on my Droid phone, but I don't want to do it that way.) The images are FireworksCS4 PNGs with alpha transparency, converted to symbols in FlashCS4.
Is there anything I can do to the way the images are imported to Flash that will make them display more smoothly in a Droid smartphone?
Thanks,
Tom

The color space on a TV is completely different, and much, much more restrictive, than that of a computer monitor. If you work is destined for NTSC or PAL TV, you really should use a calibrated monitor to view your project as it will be seen so you can make the right choices of color, title and action safe, and watch for interlace issues. You need to make sure your luma and chroma levels are broadcast safe as well.

How to improve image quality

I've been using Motion for a couple of years now and although I'm no expert, I'm really pleased with the possibilities. I mainly use it to create animations that are then watched on a computer - either on a CD or on the web. I've also done a few animations that were later exported to a DVD. I must say, the quality of the image on a TV is terrible. It really looks like an amateur animation. I was just wondering if there was a way to improve the quality of the animation shown on a TV screen. Is it just a question of settings, compression or codec?

How to improve image quality for book

I recently had a book printed from iPhoto 9 (large, hardcover) and the images in the book seem dull and dark compared to the actual images. For example, in one image of a church taken at dusk you can clearly see the outline of the church, including some details, and even people in front of it - but in the book, this area is completely black. I have had books printed before from iPhoto8 and had been happy with the past results.
Apple is refunding my purchase and letting me submit the book again, but told me if I don't edit the photos, I may have the same issue (though they also said it could have been a printer issue that day). Customer support did agree that the image quality itself is good. So, my question is, before I resubmit this book - in general, what attributes or combination of attributes are best to change to make the images more vibrant and not dark when printed for the book (ie. increase color saturation and exposure?)
Thank you.

Thanks. I did indeed preview the book before, and I have followed their tips. As, I said, I have purchased several books in the past and no issue. Apple even sent a couple pictures back to me as an attachment to show what they received, and they matched what I sent, but NOT what was printed. What printed is definitely much darker and in many cases you can't even make out the detail that you could in the images (including the ones they sent back to me for comparison). Maybe the printer really was off. I'll try a few enhancements and try again.

IPhoto vs Aperture uploaded image quality to Mobile Me

I realize this may have been discussed, but by my tests the exact same album loaded up to Mobile Me gallery via iPhoto looks better than Aperture...how can this be? I searched for topics about image quality and Mobile Me and found many complaints but little in the way of solutions. While, for me, this seems to be a solution, it is sad that my "pro" app is doing a worse job than a "consumer" app, not to mention the additional importing needed to use iPhoto. And this is v7.1.5 of iPhoto. Anyone have any other solutions for image quality involving Aperture and Mobile Me galleries? Thanks.

So the album finished uploading and the difference is amazing! I was very hesitant to send a link to my client after Aperture had uploaded the album...the images were that soft. But the iPhoto, while still a touch soft look 10X's better. Same album...just different programs used to upload to Mobile Me gallery. I'm not sure what is going on with Aperture, but Apple really needs to figure it out.

Access image files on mobile device

Hi
I've just started playing about with J2ME and was writing a application for my mobile (LG8120) ... it a simple applicaion, an image scroller. Allowing the user to scroll around a large image using the keypad ... Anyhow, i've come across a snag! .. How do you access images off the mobile device?, such as taken by the camara, or sent to me ... basically file access! ...
thanks for your time ...

For image access you have 'Image' class and 'ImageItem' to display image on form.
You can either get image from resource file (bundled with jar) or via HTTP.
For resource file use :
getClass().getResourceAsStream(imageFile)
For HTTP use:
HttpConnection newHttpConnection = (HttpConnection) Connector.open(imageUrl);
To create image use:
Image.createImage()

How do i print from my mobile device

how do i print from my mobile device?

Hi,
Your question can take many days to answer because this depends on your printer and also your mobile device(s).
1. Firstly, you need to have a printer which supports this. You can check from the following list:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=hr&dlc=hr&docname=c02814760&lang=hr&lc=en&product=391...
2. Secondly, your mobile device(s) must also support this. Please use information from the following link:

Firefox is viewing images like a mobile device.

My firefox is viewing images like a mobile device, with a black background and the image centered. I do not like this and wish to return it to the I had it before.

Thanks! That solved the problem! To be honest, I don't mind the centered images, but the dark background is problematic, especially when viewing transparent .gifs and .png files, hence why I want to change it back.

How to use filters on ios mobile devices (iPhone/iPad) using GPU rendering (Solved)

Many moons ago I asked a question here on the forums about how to use filters (specifically a glow filter) on a mobile devices (specifically the iPhone) when using GPU rendering and high resolution.
At the time, there was no answer... filters were unsupported. Period.
Well, Thanks to a buddy of mine, this problem has been solved and I can report that I have gotten a color matrix filter for desaturation AND a glow filter working on the iPhone and the iPad using GPU rendering and high resolution.
The solution, in a nut shell is as follows:
1: Create your display object... ie: a sprite.
2. Apply your filter to the sprite like you normally would.
3. Create a new bitmapdata and then draw that display object into the bitmap data.
4. Put the new bitmapdata into a bitmap and then put it on the stage or do what you want.
When you draw the display object into the bitmapdata, it will draw it WITH THE FILTER!
So even if you put your display object onto the stage, the filter will not be visible, but the new bitmapdata will!
Here is a sample app I created and tested on the iphone and ipad
var bm:Bitmap;
// temp bitmap object
var bmData:BitmapData;
// temp bitmapData object
var m:Matrix;
// temp matrix object
var gl:GlowFilter;
// the glow filter we are going to use
var sprGL:Sprite;
// the source sprite we are going to apply the filter too
var sprGL2:Sprite;
// the sprite that will hold our final bitmapdata containing the original sprite with a filter.
// create the filters we are going to use.
gl = new GlowFilter(0xFF0000, 0.9, 10, 10, 5, 2, false, false);
// create the source sprite that will use our glow filter.
sprGL = new Sprite();
// create a bitmap with any image from our library to place into our source sprite.
bm = new Bitmap(new Msgbox_Background(), "auto", true);
// add the bitmap to our source sprite.
sprGL.addChild(bm);
// add the glow filter to the source sprite.
sprGL.filters = [gl];
// create the bitmapdata that will draw our glowing sprite.
sprGL2 = new Sprite();
// create the bitmap data to hold our new image... remember, with glow filters, you need to add the padding for the flow manually. Should be double the blur size
bmData = new BitmapData(sprGL.width+20, sprGL.height+20, true, 0);
// create a matrix to translate our source image when we draw it. Should be the same as our filter blur size.
m = new Matrix(1,0,0,1, 10, 10);
// draw the source sprite containing the filter into our bitmap data
bmData.draw(sprGL, m);
// put the new bitmap data into a bitmap so we can see it on screen.
bm = new Bitmap(bmData, "auto", true);
// put the new bitmap into a sprite - this is just because the rest of my test app needed it, you can probably just put the bitmap right on the screen directly.
sprGL2.addChild(bm);
// put the source sprite with the filter on the stage. It should draw, but you will not see the filter.
sprGL.x = 100;
sprGL.y = 50;
this.addChild(sprGL);
// put the filtered sprite on the stage. it shoudl appear like the source sprite, but a little bigger (because of the glow padding)
// and unlike the source sprite, the flow filter should acutally be visible now!
sprGL2.x = 300;
sprGL2.y = 50;
this.addChild(sprGL2);

Great stuff dave
I currently have a slider which changes the hue of an image in a movieclip, I need it to move through he full range -180 to 180.
I desperately need to get this working on a tablet but cant get the filters to work in GPU mode. My application works too slow in cpu mode.
var Mcolor:AdjustColor = new AdjustColor();   //This object will hold the color properties
var Mfilter:ColorMatrixFilter;                           //Will store the modified color filter to change the image
var markerSli:SliderUI = new SliderUI(stage, "x", markerSli.track_mc, markerSli.slider_mc, -180, 180, 0, 1);   //using slider from http://evolve.reintroducing.com
Mcolor.brightness = 0; Mcolor.contrast = 0; Mcolor.hue = 0; Mcolor.saturation = 0;            // Set initial value for filter
markerSli.addEventListener(SliderUIEvent.ON_UPDATE, markerSlider);                          // listen for slider changes
function markerSlider($evt:SliderUIEvent):void {
    Mcolor.hue = $evt.currentValue;
    updateM();
function updateM():void{
    Mfilter = new ColorMatrixFilter(Mcolor.CalculateFinalFlatArray());
    all.marker.filters = [Mfilter];
how would I use your solution in my case
many thanks.

Improve image quality?

Hello,
I was given a pdf file which is a scanned copy of a Japanese language craft book/booklet, and because the text is in Japanese it's extra important to be able to see the pictures and diagrams. The contrast is not very good on screen, especially for the black and white diagram pages, and doesn't improve much by tweaking the printing options. I have the most current version of Adobe X Reader, and, while I don't know how to use it, I also have Photoshop Elements 9, which came w/ my laptop, which has Windows 7 OS. I can't think of any other resources I have that are pertinent . . . Is there any way I can improve the image quality, particularly the contrast, or is squinting and saying bad words my only realistic option? TIA!
Kathryn

The quality of a scanned document is decided during the scanning. However, high-quality scans result in very large document sizes, so the quality is often reduced after the scanning, resulting in a smaller PDF file. That process cannot be undone.

Improving image quality of transferred video

I transferred old home movies from 8mm to dvd and then saved as .mov files on the mac for use in imovie. The video is grainy and a bit fuzzy and I want to improve the quality as much as possible for viewing the movie on a larger screen. I am thinking they will be improved if I reduce the image size of the video clips but cannot figure out how to do this.

Part of the problem is you transfered your movies to a DVD. DVD content is mpg-2 compressed, and mpg-2 is a highly-compressed delivery format and not an editing format.
There really isn't anything you can do to improve the image quality now - it is what it is.
You could add a black-mask around the movies that would reduce the displayed size of your 8mm content and would avoid the quality issues of enlarging your content.
A page I put together at http://homepage.mac.com/profpixel/QT_Pro_7xmasking.html describes how to reduce the size of video content to fit in the action/title safe area with Quicktime 7 Pro. You can adjust the mask size and offset to get the results you want.

ActiveSync, how to show more attributes on mobile devices

We are currently running Exchange 2010 SP3 and have a large iOS population. We also populate the manager attribute in Active Directory. When users browse the GAL from within Outlook they can see the manager attribute and can see who there manager
is. A request has come in to be able to see this on the iOS devices, but can't seem to figure out how or if this is even possible. Any ideas? We only see the basics. This is true on Windows Mobile, Android, and iOS. I must be
missing something.
d

The attribute is fine in Active Directory we just want to be able to see the users in the GAL managers on mobile devices. Also as mentioned searching the GAL within Outlook works just fine we an see the users managers. Right now when you look
up someone on your mobile device you get there Display Name, Email Address, phone numbers. We would like to see who the users manager is.
