I'm getting poor image quality when rendering PDF grahics

I have a PAL 1920x1080 50i ProRes 422 timeline, when I add PDF images from a Power Point I have to enlarge them about 100% to fill the frame adequately. When these clips are rendered they end up with the text loosing definition and showing jpeg like artifacts. They are 1006x760 pixels. Is there a solution? Should I go back and try to get hold of the original slides?

Thanks everyone for the help, in the end I bought a PP/PDF converter and made TIFFs from them. (Tinyware PDF Converter) Not great but better than before. It was the fact that the image appeared fine in the canvas until I rendered it, it was only then that the text looked bad. This extractor seems to work ok, the methods on various blogs only worked if you have Office for Mavericks, Page extracts PPs but not to image files.
Thanks again.

Poor Image Quality when Printing PDF from Office 07 using Acrobat 9 Pro Ext

Hi there,
Hoping to figure out why my images (jpegs, gifs, pngs, etc) seem to print in very poor quality when printing from Powerpoint and Word 2007?
When I actually print out the pdf onto paper, the images seem fine. The image quality is also good in Word and Excel
I did not have this problem using Office 2003 products.
Is this a common problem? I realize that the problem maybe Office related but any help or information appreciated.
Thanks

If the images' file format is PNG or TIFF you could play with the compression settings available in Acrobat's Preferences.
Edit > Preferences > select the Category "Convert to PDF".
In the"Converting To PDF" pane, select PNG or TIFF.
Then, click on the Edit Settings" button.
For either image format you could try one of the Lossless compression routines.
Be well...

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 image quality when viewing PDFs in Digital Editions

I recently bought a digital copy of a book in the .acsm file format. The site I bought it from recommended using Digital Editions. I am on a mac, OS X 10.6.3. When viewing this book, there are various screen shots that are essentially illegible in the single or double page format. If I use the zoom feature they become more legible but still of low quality. At first I thought it was the ebook I bought but I think it's Digital Editions, actually. As a test I opened a plain 'ol PDF in Preview that had some screenshots in it - and those looked good. Viewing the same PDF in Digital Editions though, the images were again of low quality.
Digital Editions doesn't seem to have preferences (like most OS X apps) that might allow me to tweak this. Is there something that can be changed in terms of settings to make the images clearer?
Also, as an aside, Digital Editions on the Mac seems to have some delay when I try to copy things from the text. I have to hold the command + c keys longer than I would otherwise in order to get the highlighted text to be copied.

In iTunes with you iPod connected select the Photos tab and check *Include full-resolution photos* and re-sync.

Has anyone had issues with poor image quality when using lightroom to process raw images from Canon 7dmk2

Hi everyone..
..I have been having image quality issues when using Lightroom to process raw files from a 7d mk2... They are all soft with poor clarity.....tonight in despair I tried processing them using canon's software and they are totally different..."much better"
anyone else had similar problems....Andy

I have a 7D2 and have not had what I interpret as poor image quality that has anything to do with the camera.
Can you post a screenshot of what you’re seeing and what specifically you don’t like? Maybe there is something you can do differently or at least there may be an explanation for what you’re seeing.
And if you have a raw image that you wouldn’t mind sharing in a public forum, upload to http://www.dropbox.com/ then post a public share link to it in a reply, here.
In other words post a screenshot of what you see in LR, another of what you see using DPP, and a link to the raw file you’re processing.

Really poor image quality when watching DVDs

Hi,
I was just wondering whether anybody else has experienced really poor image quality whilst watching DVDs on their MacBook? For me, the image is really grainy or blurry. I am pretty sure it cannot be the DVDs as this problem is happening with every film I watch!
Is this a common problem? What can be done (if anything) to resolve this?
Many thanks,
John

Hi John,
open system preference>display, and check if your color depth is in millions color.
try other dvd player like VLC for mac:

I get poor picture quality when I export my slides from keynote as jpeg and print them as a photo, any help?

I made a slide of multiple pics and objects, I am trying to export it to an 8x10 photo, the shop I am using only allows jpeg. The quality is so poor when I print it, is there a way to get better quality as I export it? I used keynote because I could set up a custom slide size (8x10) and then added the pics and other graphics in hope I could export as a jpeg and get a good quality photo? The photo images and slides are good quality it is the exporting where I am loosing clarity.
Ugh any help?

Poor Image Quality when printing in Pages

I created small (150 x 100 pixel at 72 dpi) images for printing on a one-page flyer in Pages. I dragged and dropped them into place, and things look great on the monitor. But when I print (using a Canon MX310) all-in-one, the images look bad - they are not looking crisp and sharp like they should. I have done everything on my printer settings I can - setting it to FINE quality, photo paper, etc. but they still look bad. Any ideas? I had tried this same thing in InDesign but there I got definitely jagged images on output. The images are TIFFs. I tried a different Canon ip3500 desktop printer, but to no avail.

You need +at least+ 200dpi.
300dpi is recommended to get fine detail.
The size of the image has nothing to do with it, it is how many pixels you have per inch on the page.
Obviously 72dpi has chunky pixels that you can see with your naked eye.
The other thing is where did you get the images from? If they came from the Web then they are probably highly compressed and have compression artifacts which are painfully obvious when printing.
Just changing formats is not going to do anything. What's that they say about a sow's ear…?

Poor image quality when sending via Mail?

This is a new problem for me, yet I'm doing the same thing I always have... Previously, I could "Email" from iPhoto, select an image quality and size, and have it appear correctly as an attachment in a new message, with appropriate quality, with a subject to the effect of "1 Great iPhoto".
Now, however, regardless of the quality/size level I select, I get a small, pixellated, poor quality image attached with a non-sensical subject like cscp_W149.
Any idea what's going on?
Thanks

you are doing it wrong and selecting the thumbnail
THere are many correct ways to email photos with iPhoto - none of them involve going into the iPhoto library and mucking around (which can corrupt your library and cause you to lose data)
The easiest way is to select the photo(s) in iPhoto and click on the mail icon in the toolbar - if it is not there go to the view window and under the shoe in toolbar command check mail
THere are other ways discussed by Terence Devlin in his post in this thread - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1371662&tstart=15

Poor image quality when publishing to .mac

This is very frustrating.
I buy a high resolution, high quality, royalty-free image. I resize it and crop it in my image editing program and save it as a maximum size .jpg.
I preview the image in Apple preview, and also drag the image into my web browser and it looks crisp and sharp.
I put the image on my iWeb page and publish to .mac. I check my site and the image looks horrible! It looks as though it got compressed again on the lowest setting.
Something very weird is happening to some people. I've read other discussion on this but they are all unresolved.
I'm a graphic designer and I've used dreamweaver and published to other servers. I know about image quality and optimization. I'm doing the same steps and procedures I've always done to optimize images and I've never had this problem except when I publish to .mac.
There is a very weird and serious issue going on and I hope someone can resolve this or has an answer.
Why would an image look crisp and sharp when I view it in my image editing program or in Apple preview, but when publish to .mac it gets re-compressed?
This may sound silly but do you think Apple is doing this randomly and automatically to users to save server space on .mac? Maybe they think people wont notice or care?
I am very upset and frustrated and I can't think of any other reason why this is happening.
Any advice is helpful. Thanks!

James,
Thank you very much for your help.
Here is what I did. I used Apple grab and took a screen shot of my iWeb page where the low res graphic was in position.
I used this as a "template" for cropping my original image in my image editing program to the exact size I needed.
I cropped my original image to the size of my "grab" template, deleted the template layer and saved the sharp image as a maximum file size .jpg and placed it into my iWeb page, with "use original size". It fit perfectly in my layout and looked sharp and crisp.
Now, I published my site and checked the image.
You were correct! The image came out crisp and sharp, no more quality loss.
To test your theory, I went back to iWeb and placed an iWeb mask around the same image and re-published it.
Sure enough! The same image that was once sharp had terrible image loss.
So I guess you're right, adding any effects to an image creates the image loss.
Well, this is a terrible shame because I really like some of the border effects. For example, in a photo gallery, you can use an effect such as a slight page curl with drop shadow that appears only for the thumbnail image but the when you click on the image full size, there is no page curl, just the pure image.
If I create this slight page curl effect and drop shadow in my image editing program, then both my thumbnail and full size image will have this effect.
Not only that, but in order to get the thumbnail image to lay over my background color, I would have to re-create the page curl effect and place it on a border of the same background color as my page layout. When someone clicks on my thumbnail they will now get the full size image with the page curl effect and a slight border of the page color.
Also creating this effect in my image editing program will make it more time consuming when I want to change layout styles, because when I create the page curl / drop shadow in my image editing program, I have to change the background color around each image to match the new background color I'm using for my page. Doing this for 20 images every time I want to change my design is allot of work.
If this is what I have to do, then I have no choice. But at least I would like my thumbnail to have the effect but NOT my full size image.
How do I do this so only my iWeb thumbnail image has this effect without iWeb forcing it to a PNG and loosing quality?
Thanks I appreciate you help!

Why am I getting poor image quality on PowerPoint notes pages?

Hi,
I am using Acrobat Pro version 9, pre-Lion. I have upgraded to Lion, but have this problem before Lion.
When printing slides from a PowerPoint presentation, and choosing the standard "Save as Adobe PDF" option, the image quality on the output is perfect. If, however, I do the same thing but try to print the notes pages, the image gets pixelated.
I searched the Microsoft site for help, and all I could find is a recommendation to use PNG images in my PowerPoint, which I am indeed using.
Any ideas? Thanks....

Lion should not cause the blacks to print faded. The printer drivers used by Snow Leopard and Leopard are the same version as that used by Lion.
For starters I suggest you check that you have the latest version installed. This Apple KB article shows the MG6100 series has v10.51.2.0 as the latest version.
I also recommend you do a Nozzle test print. This can be executed from the MG6120 control panel or via the Printer Utilties window (via Print & Scan, select the printer and then open Options & Supplies and then select the Utilties tab).
If the nozzle test print is okay but the blacks still look faded when printing photos (note the printer has two black ink tanks - one for photos and one for text) then try a reset of the printing system. This will remove the MG6120 from the Print & Scan pane but not the supporting drivers. So you will only have to add the printer again.

Poor image quality when displaying OLE Word object in PDF

MS Word 2007 OLE object in Crystal Reports XII R2 designer...looks OK in designer. When we export to PDF, the image quality has been degraded significantly. Anybody had this issue before? tried replacing usp10.dll with one found in CommonFiles folder, that did not help.

Poor image quality when scanning coins with officejet pro 8600 plus

I recently upgraded my printer from an HP 2210 to and HP officejet pro 8600 plus. image quality on coin scans is terrible.
I have tried scanning both with the HP software and with windows 7 fax and scan software
I have saved images as BMP, JPG, PNG, and TIFF
I have used resolutions from 300 dpi to 1200 DPI
All give me similar unacceptable results.
Images are better when scanned flat on the scanner than when in slabbed holders, and from this I am guessing that the plastic is somehow interfering wiht the scan. Either that, or there is a very shallow depth of field so that even moving the coin a few mm away from the glass moves it out of focus. But even a raw coin placed directly on the glass has significantly worse image quality than the old 2100.
The first image is a coin scanned with the old 2100. The second has been scanned in a similar slab by the 8600

Hi terry_renee,
Welcome to the HP Forums! I am happy to help you with this scanning issue! I did a test with an HP Officejet 8600, at 1200 dpi, and no plastic covering. Just the quarter on the glass, and we cropped it to the quarter. This is the result.
I have a few questions for you:
What Operating System are you using for scanning? Windows or Mac? What version?
What scanning software are you using?
Are you scanning from the computer, or the printer's control panel?
Hope to hear back from you, and have a great day!

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.

Poor image quality when posted on the web

Hi,
When posting my iWeb pages on the web, the images look very poor compared to iWeb. When importing images to iWeb the image size is around 240 kb and when downloading the same image from the web after posting the image size is reduced to 52 kb and with a clear difference in quality. Why is that?
For info, my Optimize setting is set to OFF

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.
