HT1721 My images in iphoto '11 are not sharp unless I zoom in

Before upgrading to iPhoto '11 from '09 my images looked good, but now they appear soft until I zoom in. The whole point of digital photography is to view your images in there best possible way. How can I get the images to look better when viewing in iPhoto? I'm using a Macbook 13" late '09. I hope I don't find I now need the new Retina display to view my images, when they were fine before the "upgrade"

Previews in Bridge CS5 are not sharp

The preview panel images in Bridge CS5 are not sharp (almost blurry). Also when I select a thumb and view it using the space bar method (from within the Bridge) the image doesn't appear sharp. Anybody have an idea why? They look fine in Bridge CS4. I've been looking for a preference setting to no avail. Doesn't matter if it's RAW or JPG (same results).
When I select an image and view it using the space bar method (while in the finder) it looks sharp/normal.
Thanks.

[I've replied to the wrong thread, but this is still relevant]
The soft previews also affect raw images which have been cropped within Camera Raw. The 100% preview within Bridge looks soft compared to when editing in Camera Raw.
Raw images which haven't been cropped look sharp at 100% magnification, but not fit-to-screen.
The raw files I'm dealing with are CR2, not DNG. However, I converted one to DNG and tried the full size jpeg preview option, but it looks the same. Even if it did work, it would mean converting all CR2 files to DNG, which is a lot of extra work to get round this one problem.
Here's what I'm seeing. They are both viewed at 100%. The first file shows a screen capture of the Bridge preview, the second within Camera Raw. Again, the raw files are cropped images, which seems to cause this 100% preview problem.

Photo's in iPhoto are not sharp in the edit mode

photo's in iPhoto are not sharp in the edit mode.

Several reports with no solution - Most people do not see this - report to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feeback
Reports are that a tiny zoom will clear the image up

Restoring iPhoto from Time Machine. However iPhoto albums are not transfer

iPhoto albums are not transferring. I just have a bunch of photos with no albums/details/comments etc. I have done a few searches in support and have found similar problems but nothing like mine, which seems to be that I have a back up of all my photos in Time Machine but when I open Time Machine, I cannot simply select a previous restore date as I have been able to with everything else so far. I have tried dragging the whole iPhoto Library folder to iPhoto but again, end up with thousands of pictures with no albums... Any suggestions? Thanks.
It seems iPhoto is backed up but does not have several backups in Time Machine.

I think you may need to post this one on the Time Machine forum.
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1227
In later versions you can restore +to the iPhoto Library+, but as v6 predates Time Machine it's not possible to do that. Hence you need to restore an entire Library and open it.

My iPhoto videos are not showing up in iMovie? I have quit, shut down my Mac and they still are not showing up? What can I do to resolve this?

My iPhoto videos are not showing up in iMovie? I have quit, shut down my Mac and they still are not showing up? What can I do to resolve this?

It is also posible to go back to the imovie you had before, it is still on your computer - you go to Finder and it is in a folder in your programs. Many others have gone back to the old program, and perhaps I am also going to do that too.
In the new imovie it does not come up the question "do you want to download these videos ...."
You shall in imovie open your iphotolibrary in top on the left side,( it is standing under libraries) and you can see all the events you have in iphoto, then you can open the event, you shall use and drag the movies and pictures from the events in iphoto to an events in imovie. If you can,t see your libraries, you can click on a show button on top of the left side.
On the picture you see here iphoto is market on the top of the left side and the pictures to the left is my iphoto-events - and there I can open the one I shall use, and find my movies.

How do I get video from my iPhone to iMovie? The videos download to iPhoto, but are not "available" in iMovie when I select iPhoto in event library.

How do I get video from my iPhone to iMovie? The videos download to iPhoto, but are not "available" in iMovie when I select iPhoto in event library.

I haven't launched iMovie in a while, and I've used iPhoto to import many videos from my iPhone's Camera Roll since the last time I launched and used iMovie.
iMovie prompted me to create/update the thumbnails for my iPhoto videos, along with indicating no iPhoto videos will be available with iMovie until this is completed.
Not sure how to do this manually, but this may be your problem.

When I try to print my book I receive the following error message: One or more of the images in your book are not presently available at full resolution. Please reconnect to these files by mounting the volume(s) containing the original images.

When I try to print my book, I receive the following error message: One or more of the images in your book are not presently available at full resolution. Please reconnect to these files by mounting the volume(s) containing the original images. I don't understand what this means since all the photos are in the book. Can someone please clarify?

When you look at the images in the browser, do you see any arrow icons on your thumbnails? Like these:
When you import your images from a folder on your system drive, you have two ways to import:
Managed: Import and store the images in the library
Or referenced: Leave the images in the folder outside the Aperture library.
This is controlled by the "Store Files" settings in the Import panel:
If you did not set "Store files" to "In the Aperture Library", the originals will stay in the folder outside.
The error message you get, suggests that Aperture assumes the original files are in a folder outside the library.
Select one of your images in the Browser and use the command "File > Show in Finder" - is this command available or dimmed out?

Images sent via email are not attachments

I upgraded to Lion and now, jpeg images sent via email are not attachments but are rather images embedded in the message. I want my attachments back!! Those I send images to are saying they can not save the files as there are no attachments. How do I fix this? Everything was fine with Snow Leopard and running a photography business has me sending images a lot. Clients used to "save" the images or "select all" because they were attachment files. Now they can only see the imbedded image that is not a file.
Also, I used to send jpeg images to my Windows 7 Phone to build my portfolio when I had Snow Leopard and now with Lion I do not have files sent to my phone but the image itself which I can't save to my phone.
HELP!

Does the Control+Click work with PC's? My clients use PC's and they cant download the embedded images. One client specifically is a webmaster for a sports club I photograph at every sporting event. At the end of each event I may have 40 + photos downsized and sent to him to post on his site so each email will have 7 - 10 images.
With Snow Leopard, the images would be attached files but also imbedded images on my end. On his end, they're attached files he could just select all and save then put on the site. Now he and other PC clients are saying he can only save one image at a time. This is a lot of work and seems a bit backwards to me.
When sending to my Windows 7 Phone, the image is not embedded but shows up as an attached file which my phone then gives me the option to "save to phone". Now it's an embedded image with no options to save to phone.
I will have a look at the Attachments Tamer but it seems crazy to have to buy an app for something that seems simple to fix on Apple's end.

I burned my first iDVD andpicture quality is not good. Originals are excellent. My photos are shot in raw or jpeg, both are not sharp when I view my DVD. I viewed it on my 1080 dpi tv and my new apple computer.

There are many ways to produce slide shows using iPhoto, iMovie or iDVD and some limit the number of photos you can use (iDVD has a 99 chapter (slide) limitation).
If what you want is what I want, namely to be able to use high resolution photos (even 300 dpi tiff files), to pan and zoom individual photos, use a variety of transitions, to add and edit music or commentary, place text exactly where you want it, and to end up with a DVD that looks good on both your Mac and a TV - in other words end up with and end result that does not look like an old fashioned slide show from a projector - you may be interested in how I do it. You don't have to do it my way, but the following may be food for thought!
Firstly you need proper software to assemble the photos, decide on the duration of each, the transitions you want to use, and how to pan and zoom individual photos where required, and add proper titles. For this I use Photo to Movie. You can read about what it can do on their website:
http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
(Other users here use the alternative FotoMagico: http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/homevspro/ which you may prefer - I have no experience with it.)
Neither of these are freeware, but are worth the investment if you are going to do a lot of slide shows. Read about them in detail, then decide which one you feel is best suited to your needs.
Once you have timed and arranged and manipulated the photos to your liking in Photo to Movie, it exports the file to iMovie as a DV stream. You can add music in Photo to Movie, but I prefer doing this in iMovie where it is easier to edit. You can now further edit the slide show in iMovie just as you would a movie, including adding other video clips, then send it to iDVD 7, or Toast, for burning.
You will be pleasantly surprised at how professional the results can be!
To simply create a slide show in iDVD 7 onwards from images in iPhoto or stored in other places on your hard disk or a connected server, look here:

Images are not sharp as before.

I have been using Aperture for some time.
But recently images are soft-not sharp. All.
Adjustments 1.5 sharpeness to 1. radius. Still not there.
The only way they get better is by adding edge sharpening.
I did not have to do this before.Problem started about the first of May.

Hi Again Steve,
Here is what I discovered-Control:
Tests: D-200 and D-70. JPEG Fine setting. Need to try w/RAW.
Softwares on iMac G5. Aperture & iPhoto.
PC Photoshop Album Starter 3.2
Results:
No significant difference between D-200 and D-70 regarding sharpness.Better resolution w/D-200.
Color accuracy best with Aperture.
But regarding sharpness,which is my issue, this is what I found.
The PC print was the best which I do not beleive has edge sharpening,
maybe it's built into Photoshop/Album 3.2
However I can match the sharpness of the PC print in Aperture only
with edge sharpening.
As mentioned before I haven't had to use Edge Sharpening until now.
Is edge sharpening a destructive issue or is edge sharpening just an everyday
use.
Or is there an issue with my iMac?
Frank

Changes made in iphoto library are not showing up in aperture

I currently have Aperture referencing my photos off of my iphoto library. I have made changes (consolidated a couple of events) and imported more photos from my camera and both are not showing up in Aperture.
The new photos I imported were placed into an existing event (in both iphoto and aperture).
How do I get aperture to recognize the changes I made in organizing my library?
Thanks
Michael

Aperture won't know that you've made changes to your iPhoto library, and therefore won't redraw the thumbnail or update the main image. The way iPhoto works that if you make a change, it'll create another JPG and store it within the iPhoto Library folder or package (depending on which version you're on). If Aperture is still referencing the original image (quite likely), its not going to know iPhoto has created another one, and even more so, where that file is. You can do it the other way around and up date the to, for example, have images in your Aperture library, referenced to your iPhoto library. If you change the image in Aperture, it will update in iPhoto using the JPEG previews. The only thing that might not change is the iPhoto thumbnail, but the image itself will bring through the changes from Aperture as technically, its the same file is looking at.

How to delete images from folder which are not in the database

I am created windows form
i wont to delete images from the folder where i have stored images but i only want to delete those images which are not in the data base.
i don't know how it is possible . i have written some code
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
string connectionString = "Data Source";
conn = new SqlConnection(connectionString);
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
cmd.Connection = conn;
cmd.CommandText = "select * from tbl_pro";
conn.Open();
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
da.Fill(dt);
int count = Convert.ToInt32( dt.Rows.Count);
string[] image1 = new string[count];
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
image1[i] = dt.Rows[i]["Image1"].ToString();
string[] image2 = new string[count];
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
image2[i] = dt.Rows[i]["Image2"].ToString();
var arr = image1.Union(image2).ToArray();
string[] arrays;
String dirPath = "G:\\Proj\\";
arrays = Directory.GetFiles(dirPath, "*", SearchOption.AllDirectories).Select(x => Path.GetFileName(x)).ToArray();
int b= arrays.Count();
for (int j = 1; j <= b; j++)
if (arrays[j].ToString() != arr[j].ToString())
var del = arrays[j].ToString();
else
foreach (var value in del) // ERROR DEL IS NOT IN THE CURRENT CONTEXT
string filePath = "G:\\Projects\\Images\\"+value;
File.Delete(filePath);
here error coming "DEL IS NOT IN THE CURRENT CONTEXT"
I have to change anything .Will It work alright?
pls help me
Sms

Hi Fresherss,
Your del is Local Variable, it can't be accessed out of the if statement. you need to declare it as global variable like below. And if you want to collect the string, you could use the List to collect, not a string. the string will be split to chars
one by one.
List<string> del=new List<string>();
for (int j = 1; j <= b; j++)
if (arrays[j].ToString() != arr[j].ToString())
del.Add(arrays[j].ToString());
else
foreach (var value in del)
string filePath = "G:\\Projects\\Images\\" + value;
File.Delete(filePath);
If you have any other concern regarding this issue, please feel free to let me know.

Pictures from an iphoto album are not in iphoto library HELP

I have photos in an album on my iphoto but they are not actually in the library?? how does this make sense!? so when i come to delete them i dont know if they're deleted or not.
also another topic is that to delete a picture in i phioto i have to delete it from the library dont i as if i delete it form an album it just deletes it from the album??
sprry probably very dumb questions but im just trying to figure it all out.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
If the photos are in an Album, then they are in an Event, somwhere.
One way to find them might be to flag them, which will help them stand out a little as you search.
Yes, to remove a pic from iPhoto it needs to be removed from the Library view - either Events or Photos.

Some of Photo (JPEG)-compressed images by Flash Pro are not shown in AIR app (3.7/3.8)

Does anyone see this issue happening? In Flash Pro it's OK, but in AIR, it's broken.
https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3558175
Problem Description:
Some JPEG-compressed images in swc produced by Flash Pro CS6 is not shown in AIR.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a fla with Flash Pro CS6
2. Put a png image in it and open the property of the image to make sure its compression option is Photo (JPEG)
3. Produce an swc out of the fla
4. Create an AIR app that shows the contents in the swc
Actual Result:
All images are shown
Expected Result:
Some of the images are not shown (nothing is shown where they are supposed to be)
Any Workarounds:
Use Lossless (PNG/GIF) for all images

i was able to get it to work from a suggestion in another thread: if you write a JSFL that goes through all your bitmaps and makes sure they do not uset he default compression of the document, but instead use custom compression (it can match the default however). this worked for me

Thousands of strange images on iPhoto what are they?

I tried to down load my pics in iphoto into a file I could put on an external hard drive for back up. Now i have thousands of images some of which are called resources,water color text mat , uk.iprog ect. What are they & how do I make them go away? I'm vexed and bewildered.

It sounds like the hard drive was accidently dragged into the iPhoto window or onto the iPhoto icon in the Dock. If you downloaded your pics into a new library try starting over with a new library and see if you can avoid those images.
