Image quality when moving bitmaps around the stage

Hey all,
I am moving an image around the stage, and when it moves
quickly, it becomes distorted and displays what I can only refer to
as "banding". The image appear to be misaligned for some of the
frames that it is moving. I have tried a number of the usual fixes,
increasing the framerate, using a less complex image, etc. Nothing
seems to work. Any ideas? I feel like I have seen a lot of flash +
director movies that have fast motion, slick movement, etc and not
appear as what I end up with. Is this something that relates to a
screen refresh rate? Thanks for any ideas...

Sounds like good old vertical sync / tearing. This is really
not a fixable
issue. You can try slowing down the movement a little...
Someone, a while
ago, worked on creating an xtra that would honor the vertical
blanking
interval, but it never really worked properly I don't
believe. You can read
all kinds of prior posts about this by searching google
groups within
macromedia.director.* for 'vertical sync'

  • Clone stamp tool suddenly looks bitmapped around the edges

    I'm using the clone stamp tool, as well as the spot healing brush, and it has suddenly begun to look "bitmapped" around the edges. I am using the clone stamp at the halfway mark between hard and soft, but instead of a smooth blend at the edges of the circle, it looks bitmapped. The tool still works fine, it's just very distracting. I've tried restarting my computer, I've double-checked my tool preferences, but it's still bitmapped looking. ?????

    Update your graphics driver and/or adjust the settings or turn off OpenGL in the preferences. Sounds like you see issues with transparency belnding for the clone stamp overlay preview. For anything beyond that blindfold advise we would need some real system info and otehr details like actually knowing what version of PS you use. you have not provided any of that.

  • Zooming a loaded bitmap around the image center

    Hi,
    I try to zoom a loaded PNG where the center of the image
    stays at the
    middle of the stage.
    I don't know everyting I do leads me to a clip moving away
    from the
    center of the stage.
    What I do is zooming a clip that contains the clip that is
    loaded. I set
    the loaded Clip at the negative half of its size, so it
    should aprear in
    the middle.
    onClipEvent(load){
    pic_container_mc.loadMovie("pic.png");
    //picLoaded() < it is called from the clip
    // pic_container_mc at onLoad event
    // when the bytestotal are > 1000
    function picLoaded(){
    pic_container_mc._alpha = 0;
    pic_container_mc.onEnterFrame= function(){
    this._alpha = this._alpha * 1,2;
    this._alpha++;
    _parent._xscale++;
    _parent._yscale = _parent._xscale;
    w = pic_container_mc._width;
    h = pic_container_mc._height;
    pic_container_mc._x = - w/2;
    pic_container_mc._y = - h/2;
    // half of the strange size
    this._x = 512;
    this._y = 384;
    Any ideas?

  • Trouble with the image quality when viewing under 100%. First time posting on the forum.

    Hello everyone. I am sorry we have the get acquainted this way but I am having some issues and this is one of my last options of getting help.   Allow me to explain the problem.    When viewing a file under 100% zoom, everything looks jagged like the anti aliasing is missing.  Once I zoom in to 100%, everything looks the way it should. The saved file ( jpeg format for instance) is okay. I can zoom out and it still looks true to the image. The problem is related to photoshop. I installed my latest GPU drivers twice just to be sure and it was not from that.   This problem started last night and I don`t quite know how to solve it.  If I work on small resolution images, it isn`t such a bad problem because I will be working on 100% zoom, but I am working on high resolution images/ paintings. Somewhere around 8000x5000 pixels thus, working at 100% is not that doable. I attached an image that shows this issue. The one on the right is the zoomed out version and the one on the left is the zoomed in version.  Yes, the noise is affected by this, badly, but this started last night. up until then everything looked good even with noise or an out of this world sharpness. I can`t imagine what I could have done to trigger this.
       This being said, I am at the mercy of the more knowledgeable folks from around here. I do hope I posted this question in the right section. This is my first post here so sorry if I messed something up.   Looking forward to your replies.

    Here is a simplistic view that I feel may help you understand reality.
    The only time you're looking at your image pixels in Photoshop is when you're zoomed in to 100%,   There your look at the actual image pixels Photoshop has for your image at your displays resolution.
    At any other zoom level you are looking a scaled image that  has more or less pixels than your actual image these too are displayed at your display resolution.
    The scaling done by Photoshop is done for displaying your image is done for good performance not for the best image quality a quick interpolation.   Therefore at some zoom levels image quality looks poorer  than at other zoom levels.
    High resolution Display have now add a new wrinkle.   User interfaces were designed for displays  with resolutions around 100 PPI elements like text, icon, and other things like checkboxes, buttons etc. were created so there size would be useable are this more or less fixed 100 PPI resolution.   While Photoshop was designed to scale your images so you can work well on it is was not designed with a scalable UI.  Photoshop can not scale its user interface independently from its image display display window for you displays high resolution.  Photoshop's Image display area has the same resolution as the rest of Photoshop User Interface.  Just like there is only one resolution in all layers in a document. CC 2014 2xUI changes that.  PS UI is scaled to 1/2 resolution the image Area is at the displays actual resolution.
    Photoshop CC 2014 2x UI scales all of Photoshop User Interface including the image display to 200% which is 1/2 your display resolution effectively cutting you display pixel count to 1/4 its actual pixel count.   Your once again running on a low resolution display.     If your display has a native resolution  200 PPI you're running it at 100 ppi if your display has a 300 PPI resolution  you're running it at 150ppi.    Which defeats the reason of having high resolution.  Which is you would like to be able to edit your images at print resolution.  Adobe cc2x UI scales the UI but not the image window soa inage is 216ppi on the Surface Pro 3 the UI is large and dpoes not fit. screen
    To be able to edit your images at print resolution  you need a display the has a print resolution and you need and application the can scale its image display  and its UI independently.
    Current there is no OS interface for having multiple resolutions areas on  a display  and applications like Photoshop can not scale UI and Image independently.  OS and Photoshop can scale what is displayed.  Adobe Photoshop executable is coded in a way that it tell Microsoft Windows OS that it will handle display scaling so it can using your displays native resolution.  Currently Only  Photoshop CC 2014  Provides you with the option of running you display at half resolution.
    Windows can scale you display to many resolution and as several presets.  like 100%, 125%, 150% and like Adobe 200% half resolution.    You can make a Windows Registry and add an External Photoshop  Manifest file the tell's Microsoft Windows to handle display scaling.  I have a  Microsoft Surface Pro 3 m windows machine. Its LCD has a 216PPI resolution.  Windows 8.1 had 4 preset for scaling its LCD.
    Surface Pro 3 LCD Display 12"  IPS display 3:2 aspect ratio 9.984603532054124" Wide, 6.656402354702749" High 216.3330765278394  PPI
    Microsoft Preset Display scaling
    100% 2160x1440   216 PPI
    125% 1728x1152   173 PPI
    150% 1440x960    144 PPI SP3 Default setting
    200% 1080x720    108 PPI
    Most user these days has 1024x768 or better displays and Web pages are often authored for 800x600 pixels pages. So the give you a better handle on Resolution and scaling I have edit a 800x600 document with 25x25 px grid one my Surface pro 3
    using Windows 4  scaling presets and captured the 2160x1140 scaled screens  Only at the 100% preset does the image window have a 216ppi Also note  @ 2x UI Photoshop UI doe not fit on screen
    Adobe Photoshop  CC 2014 2xUI Scales the UI  to a display 1/2 resolution but does not scale the Image area  uses actual screen resolution. Photoshop  Help system info show the screen i 1/2 resilution 1080x720 but scalet the imase to the real resolution 2160x1440. however the image window is the 216ppi the ui 108ppi via scaling

  • Flash moving my symbols and layers around the stage

    Every now and then if I close and reopen flash, it will randomly move different layers and symbols around so they're a discombobulated mess.  My animation isn't smooth anymore and I have to try to piece it back together, but it never looks as nice as it did when I first drew it.  It seems to pick things at random.  Here is an example: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/54053846/fennec%20running7.swf
    Sometimes I'll start drawing and it'll brush stroke like, 100 px to the left of where I'm trying to draw, too.
    What am I doing wrong?  I noticed that it often happens right after I change the stage size to match the contents (sometimes I draw off the stage and instead of making it a symbol to fit within the stage, I just change the stage size).

  • 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.

  • Really bad image quality when burning

    Hi, i am very new at this discussion thing and am a french speaker so hope i do this ansking question ok.
    I'm having problems with image quality of my 1h46 min movie imported from imovie (initially from quicktime made from final cut pro). I am having pixelly images when camera is moving... Although have read some things about this on the forum none of the answers seem to resolve my problem.
    I have selected best quality in my prefs but with no success. I figure it's a compression / codec problem but i do not have a clue about all this technical stuff. I don't know what next move i should make.
    Thanks for any help...

    Hi ! Thanx for responding...
    In FCP i did choose export DV/NTSC and imported from camera with apple firewire NTSC (720x480). Should i have imported material in (640x480/30fps/interlaced...) ?
    I have had this problem with smaller projects of 20 min of video also so i don't think it has to do with size... At the moment i am making a disc image of my dvd on my desktop hoping to burn through Toast. Otherwise i am also thinking about exporting movie from FCP to tape then importing back to iMov through camera...
    I'm kind of desperate and don't really know what to do... I'm also gonna start reading compressor 2 and maybe forget about iDVD an d just burn it through toast. Wich is kind of dissapointing cause without interface, menu and all...

  • Images "Disappear" When Moving a Project But Really They'r e Just Invisible

    Last night I imported 442 images into a new project. I rated them, and edited about 40-50. This morning I moved the project within the same library. When I did so, all the images disappeared, sort of. The project appeared empty. I let it sit a couple of minutes, and undid the move to no effect.
    I checked to see if a filter was blocking the images but it was not the problem. I checked the Project properties and it showed the images were all there (plus, I use referenced files and I hadn't deleted the CF card so worst case scenario I had all my originals). Also, when I displayed all the projects in a browser view window, the project showed up and I could sweep through all the thumbnails in the project browser. But again, if I selected the project and tried to see the images in either the browser, viewer, or split view, nothing showed up. No thumbnails, no file names, no empty thumbnails, nothing. The photos were sort of invisible.
    I "solved" the issue by moving an image - any image - from another project into the problem project. Suddenly that photo and all the other images, were visible. Removing the random image did not recreate the problem.
    Since I no longer have the problem I'm posting for 2 reasons: (1) to publish the problem and my fix in case anybody gets the same problem, and (2) to see if anybody knows what caused this and if there is a more direct fix than my weird indirect fix. Thanks.

    I have had the same thing happen consistently. I import images into a default project. Then when I move the project into an organizational folder... all the images disappear. After a couple of panics, I have now realized that if I stay calm, close Aperture, then open it again, the pictures are all present. Quite a pain in the butt, but at least there is a work around. Albeit a bit scary .
    Best,
    Jim

  • 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!
