Image Quality Changes After First Preview

I've only been using Aperture for a few weeks but seem to have a problem when I preview any newly imported RAW images.
After I import any new RAW files, I'll select one for preview and for no more then a second the image looks great. Then all of a sudden the quality/brightness/sharpness reduces in front of me.
This only happens the once for each image, after that all images remain at this lower quality once previewed.
It's almost like Aperture is processing the image when I click to preview, but not in a good way.
It there a setting I should be looking for? I thought Aperture processed the image at the point of import, not when you first preview the image?

There can be other causes for this effect than are described above.  On the 5DMK3, if you have the in-camera Picture Styles set to anything other than Standard or Neutral, the Picture Style will be applied to the JPEG but Aperture's Raw converter will not apply the Picture Style adjustments when it processes the image.  Thus you will see some kind of shift in colour and/or contrast.
So either shoot only in JPEG mode if you want the Picture Styles applied to your images, or change the camera Picture Style to Standard or Neutral.

  • Poor image quality elements 12 slideshow preview

    As I can't find any reference to my original post I thought I'd re-do it.  I created a slideshow in elements 12 and found the image quality to fall far short of high definition.  The source folder for the images used is contained in Windows Pictures.  The pictures were taken with a Canon t4i camera with the image quality being excellent.  For whatever reason the quality of the slideshow images are poor.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Don't purchase a video editing app to work with just still images. They are meant to be used with DV and really don't do a still image any justice.
    The final source format should determine the software used. You are suggesting a DVD distribution of your work.
    iPhoto is meant to be used on still images (not iMovie, in my opinion).
    You don't really want to convert a single frame into multiple frames if you don't need to.
    You may want to try the Photo JPEG, Motion JPEG or Animation codecs from iMovie and see if they improve the visual appearance of your work.
    Since you want to use a DVD as the distribution method then iDVD may not be the best option either. It is meant for set top boxes using a poor 720X480 dimension in MPEG-2 video format.
    You may want to consider a bit different approach and use a "data" DVD and use QuickTime Player as the playback engine. These will only play on a computer but your could use the higher dimensions to your advantage and also the visual quality of computer displays to showcase your work.
    Since HD DVD players are not yet ready for mass use it may be a better way to distribute your work.
    There is no 720X480 dimension limit (only the limit set by the viewer on the display size when viewed on a computer monitor).
    Your "still" images would remain "still" except for transitions.
    Heck. You could probably put the whole file onto a CD and save even more in production costs.

  • IDVD Quality Changed after Snow Leopard Upgrade

    I created two different iDVD projects (slide shows with music) and burned them to DVDs - great quality, no problems with transitions, or quality of slides displayed. These copies were viewed in a BlueRay player, etc. After I upgraded to Snow Leopard I made two more copies without adding anything to the projects or changing the project settings. Quality is now terrible. The transitions are choppy, and each slide is displayed slightly less bright than it should be, then it jumps to a normal brightness, then goes back to a dimmer setting as the photos change. This did not occur on the originals before the OS upgrade. If I run the project on my MAC it all looks fine. This problem comes up after burning to DVD.
    Any ideas?

    Hi TJ1955
    Welcome to apple discussions. Sorry to hear about the issues with burning to disc you are experiencing at the moment. I'm not sure I can help with this issue without being directly in front of your mac and seeing what's going on. So I'll simply supply you with the apple KB aticle detailing / troubleshooting burn issues to dvd.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1583?viewlocale=en_US
    If you opt to return to the forum we'll also need more info on the mac model you are currently using and which third party items you have connected to it (if any). Lastly we will need to know how much available hard drive space is remaining on the boot volume (your main startup HD) as well as what type or brand of dvd's you are currently using and if it varied from the original /first burn.
    As a final resort you may wish to try the following. Burn your iDvd project to a disc image from the file menu within iDvd (provided you have the available HD space). The disc image acts exactly like a dvd so use apple's dvd player to test for proper playback. Assuming it plays exactly as expected, then burn to Verbatim, Taiyo Yuden, or Maxell Dvd-R at 4x. Please avoid using Memorex while we troubleshoot your issue here. This latter brand of dvd's tends to introduce additional variables into the equation making troubleshooting all that much more complicated. Thereafter, (assuming we resolve the issue) feel free to use whatever brand works best for you and your mac.
    Hope this helps but if not come on back.

  • Image Colors Change in Bridge Preview Window

    I edited some images first in Camera Raw and then Photoshop (CS5), all working in sRGB color space, and saved them as JPEGs.  If I select one of these images in the Bridge content pane, minimize the Bridge window, then maximize the Bridge window, the image appears correctly in the Bridge content pane but the colors are incorrect in the Bridge preview pane.  If I resize the view in the content pane, the image colors in the preview pane get corrected within a couple seconds.  Likewise, if I click on another image and then back, the image colors are correct in the preview pane, but if I again minimize then maximize the Bridge window, the image colors in the preview pane are incorrect again.
    Windows Explorer displays the image colors correctly.  ZoomBrowserEX (browser software provided with Canon camera) displays the same image (same file) with incorrect colors.  When I upload these JPEGs to my web photohosting site (PictureTrail), the images appear there with incorrect colors.  That is where this issue becomes most problematic because with the colors being off, the images are useless for posting to online forums or classifieds.
    It seems that the color in the JPEG is being read differently by different software, and is even being read differently under different circumstances within Photoshop (Bridge).  Is there a setting somewhere that I need to change?  Or some other issue?  Thanks.....

    I have a fair understanding of color profiles and color management.  My monitor is a Dell UltraSharp U3011 set to the factory-calibrated sRGB display mode.
    What makes me certain that this is not a simple matter of different color management in different applications is that Bridge is displaying the same JPEG file/image in two panes on the screen simultaneously and the colors do not match.  Furthermore, the incorrect colors in the preview pane image change to the correct colors if I resize the thumbnails in the content pane, or click on another image and then back; and the colors in the preview pane go back to incorrect if I minimize then maximize the Bridge window.  Seems to me that there must be something within that JPEG that is being interpreted differently in different circumstances that results in the "two versions" displayed within the same application (Bridge) on the same screen at the same time, and that other apps are interpreting one way or the other.

    Exploring a bit further, I've realized that the same color display issue exists with the original JPEGs from my camera (Canon T1i, shooting in sRGB color space).  So it seems the issue did not originate with settings etc. in Photoshop.... but Photoshop (Bridge) IS displaying "two versions" on same screen at same time, and so must be doing something different with the JPEG info in one pane vs. the other.

  • Camera Quality Changed After 10.2 upgrade

    After upgrading to OS 10.2. the quality of the camera just changed. With the flash on, the images are sooo dark you can hardly see the images. A lot clearer when you take a picture without it. regardless if the area is really dark, a bit dark or with enough light. The rleft side is without the flash and the right is the one with flash.

    Let me suggest you manually install the most recent official OS, 10.2.0.1803.

  • Batch Capture - Frame rate changes after first clip

    Hey everybody,
    Working in CS4 on a Mac, and trying to simply batch capture about 35 clips after all have been logged accurately.
    I'm using the DVX100A, and shot in 24Pa. So I have set up my sequence settings to DV 23.98 Fps, and 16:9 Progressive.
    Upon batch capturing (making sure the capture settings are the same) the first clip is captured at 23.98 and works fine, then every one after that 'captures' at 29.97. I say 'captures' because it says it is captured but when I try and play it in the source monitor Premiere crashes or freezes.
    Has anyone else experienced this issue? Thanks for any input regarding this issue.

    Then I changed Recording Setup to 480i/30p...My thoughts were that this would be slowed down a little.
    That is an incorrect thought. DV tape runs at 29.97fps always. Even 24p...that runs at 29.97 but has the film like cadence. If you want to shoot slow motion, you need to shoot 720p. That is a 60 frame format. You can shoot 720p24 to get 23.98, then there is a trick to get the camera to shoot 60fps and record it as 24fps. The Barry Green book that comes with the camera explains that. And that is SMOOTH slow motion.
    Now the camera ships with a 16GB P2 card. One comes in the box, along with the Barry Green book. Did you not get that? Where did you buy the camera?

  • IMovie sound quality changes after export and is terrible

    when i export my imovie the sound quality becomes bad and sounds like my speakers are blown but their not, it sounds perfectly fine in imovie but after its exported it changes to worse, anyone know how to fix this?

    Check your audio levels. and if necessary, reduce the levels so that the audio stays under the 0 DB line. If you have audio that is yellow or red, reduce the level. This video shows an example of how to do this. Click on the video All New Audio Editing."

  • Image size changes after saving and then reopening

    I'm using CS6. For example I change the image size to a 4X6 and then save it. Then when I open the file it will be 7.5X5. What's the fix? Thanks for your time.

    I'm using Photoshop CS6 on a Windows 7 - 64 bit system. I'm using the Image Size dialog box and saving the file as a 4X6 at 300 dpi from a psd file to a jpeg file. When I open the file it is 5X7.5 inches at 240 dpi. I've been playing with it and have just figured out that when I save the file as a psd file it stays the size I've created and it changes when I save as a jpeg file. This is change is recent. It's worked properly in the past. Thanks for your help.

  • Simulate Acquisition does not include new image file created after first call

    For example, I have 5 images in a folder.
    I call Simulate Acquisition.
    It cycles through all 5 images.
    Now If I include 1 more image it does not include this image in the "cycle". I need to reload this step by clicking Main\path\browse button and select any image in the folder and then it cycles through all 6 images.
    Is there anyway to automatically include new images added to the folder after the step has been created?
    Thanks.

    Vision Builder AI 2011 SP1

    Here's a sample inspection and VI to illustrate how you could do this. I used an image variable and passed this into the Run LV step so the VI could read the file and update the image variable and then I used the Select Image step to get the image variable into the VBAI script so you can process it. I also added a delete option in the VI so you can delete the previous image when you read the next available image. Make sure to go to the Setup State and initialize the path variable to where your image files will live (to access the Setup State, go to View>>View Complete Inspection and select on the Setup option on the left hand side. I initialized it to c:\Image Folder
    Hope this helps,

  • Photo quality change after exporting

    Hello
    I'm working on a short film project that should be made from photos not videos (so photos are critical in this iMovie project), but after exporting the movie ( in HD) I found out that the photos' quality were reduced?
    Most of the photos are darky, with dark backgrounds, they look good enough in iMovie but after exporting they look lighted up, which ruins my movie.
    What should I do??
    Thanks in advance

    That is odd, I have not been aware of any drop in camera quality via an update with this model. With this being the case I would advise running the update again and choosing the "Repair" option.

  • Image position changed after deleting pages

    Hi
    I have a book with on each page one image (no text). When I delete the first two pages, +-50% of my images or moved 6 mm to the right. This happens across the entire book and there is no logic or pattern in where this happens and where not.
    Did somebody have the same experience or an explanation for this? The document was made with Indesign CS5.

    You can try deleting the "media" folder on your iDisk and then republish.
    Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web /Sites.
    Open your "website" folder and delete the media file.
    Also, make sure you have deleted any audio files that may be hidden in your iWeb page. Sometimes its better to delete the page and start a new one when things go wrong.

  • Image Locations Change After Saving from Template

    I am using DW CS5.  I have made a Template using a dozen or so images.  There are four in a side nav bar.  When I create a new page (Page from Template), all my images and text show up fine with code like: <img src="images/wedding.jpg"/>.  However the two of the four images in the nav bar show the code linking it to its place on my local drive.  The other two work fine.  I tried publishing the page and the code didn't change.  No matter what I try the code will not update for those images.
    Any help appreciated.

    That worked for that page!
    I am ready to make multiple pages from the template.  Should I use a different method than "New Page from Template" since that doesn't seem to work properly?  I don't want to have to manually apply the template to every page if I don't have to.
    Thanks.

  • Quality changes after rendering/speeding up/slowing down a clip in FCP 6

    I use mpegstreamclip to get my canon 7d footage into FCP. Everything looks fine until I render it.
    I set my mpegstream clip settings to apple pro res, full quality, 1920x1080 (unscaled), 30 fps.
    What am I doing wrong here?

    I'll need more info to narrow down on the problem.
    When you play it in the timeline, everything plays fine, right?
    What format did you digitize? MiniDV?
    What timecode is changing?
    If you Export as quicktime movie, there is no timecode.
    If your refering to the timecode in the browser, make sure your looking at the MEDIA START & END (Not the in & out)
    When your refering different footage, are you speaking of a completely different shot from your footage? Or is the cut just off?
    Check this setting:
    Goto menu bar: SEQUENCE SETTING; click render control tab.
    check on all boxes. set all to 100%. Codec=SAME AS SEQ
    In the timeline, make sure all the tracks are on GREEN. (The bubble on the far end left)
    Test some of the media files in iMovie or quicktime to see if they're corrupted in some way.
    If there is no fix, you may need to re-install the app.
