Image resize is less than acceptable

I really like Motion, but am dissapointed in its ability to resize image elements. When you get down to a small percentage the quality goes downhill. I'm guessing that the resampling is not the best. On a PSA tag I wanted a logo to start at bug size and then come up to around 45% at the end of the spot. Resizing a 720 x 480 PSD file to 22% left the image very aliased. I tried the same layout in FCP and in Boris Red with superior results. I have posted the results here:
www.leebergermedia.com/compare.htm
I tried different image formats with the same results. Anyone else having this issue? I'll post this in Apple feedback as well.

Under Project Properties, have you tried setting your Render Settings to Antialiasing Method: Best with the Use dithering checked?

"Scale Images" has limited less than 180 files?

Hi,
I has made a Automator app that make jpeg images to a pdf.
For decrease pdf file size, I added automator task "Scale Images" and set "To Size (pixels)" to "960".
Then run Automator, the task seemed to be proceeding smoothly until 180 files.
But the task has not finished after ten minutes. The status icon was still in process "Scale Images (5/6)".
I stopped the app and try again. I have the same result. Nothing changed with the 181th jpeg file in Finder.
Does "Scale Images" has limitation less than 180 files?

mns579, thank you for reply.
I also tried under Snow Leopard (10.6.8). The workflow has completed without hanging!
The version of Scale Images on Snow Leopard is 1.2.
In the case of Scale Images 1.3 on Lion (10.7.4), it has never completed... under same files and same workflow.
It seems something buggy.

Keyword list image count is greater than metada keyword image count.

How do you get the image counts to be the same? I have looked through the images of the offending keywords and there are no check marks against other keywords. Also above the film strip the total of all images selected is less than the total images. This has been an upgrade from Elements 10 catalog. Thanks.

Thank you, but I need to start with a "clean slate" or at least a correct one. So I have persevered and found a solution, which may seem lengthy, but beats rebuilding the keyword structure image by image. I had numbers against parent keywords (should be zero) and incorrect numbers against child keywords, not all, but some cases of each. Dealing with the child keywords within a parent first and then the parent, the procedure I used was:-
1. Select child keyword
2. Select all
3. Create collection using keyword name for clarity
Repeat steps 1-3 for all child keywords within the parent keyword
4. Delete the parent keyword
5. Recreate the parent keyword
6. Recreate all child keywords within the parent keyword
7. Select a collection
8. Select all
9. Select the appropriate keyword and drag to an image
Repeat steps 7-9 for remaining collections
It appears to work and all the unaffected keywords are showing in each image!!!
The engineer in me is satisfied!

Pan an image by less than 1 pixel/ frame

Hi,
is there a common way to pan an image by less than 1 pixel/ frame (maybe by manipulating bitmaps or something?).
I need to pan over an image very slowly, but with a smooth motion.
thanks

You can set x and y to non-integers, but you will likely see distortion as it tries to render on half-pixels. Most folks will not see single pixel movement as steppy.

How do you reduce image to less than 5 mb

I need to reduce a simple image to less than 5 mb without losing too much quality. How is this possible in Photoshop Touch? I don't understand how to convert the size from pixels to mb etc
Please help a beginner

Well, a 4000 x 3000 (about 12 Megapixels) image saved as JPEG 100% quality will average about 2.5 MB in file size. (Note how I said average depending on image.) I can't remember offhand how much PS Touch compresses an image when saved as JPEG. Maybe someone from Adobe staff can comment. There's no way of adjusting how a project gets saved other than the file type when exporting.
PS Touch can handle about 12 Megapixels max (though I've had it go as high as 4000 x 4000 in a new project).

Spry Image Slideshow not showing if less than 2 photos

I have the
Spry Image Slidshow working properly on my webpage. The problem is that I am dynamically populating a dataset with data from the database using a category id of the photos. If there are at least 3 photos then the control is rendered properly to the page and the photos start showing as a slideshow and all is well.
If there are less than 3 photos the thumbnails render properly but the waiting screen for the viewer just stays black with the image loading going. the Play, Next, and Previous buttons never render either. If I click on any of the thumbnails the picture is shown in the viewer but the slideshow will never play.
I think if there is only one photo it should be able to be displayed as a slideshow as well but not really do anything. I think if there is a limitation of at least 3 photos this needs to be fixed. Thank you for any help anyone can give me on how to get this to work with less than 3 photos.

I realize the previous post is a little dated, but I'm having the same problem described above. Does anyone know how to maintain slideshow functionality with fewer than 3 images? Obviously, you don't need a slideshow for just one image, but I have several pages on my website where it would be nice to cycle between 2 images. I'm guessing this would require some modification to the SpryImageSlideshow.js file, but I don't know enough about JavaScript to even tinker around with it. Any insight would be much appreciated.

Will a g4 17" powerbook purchased new n 2006 accept a SATA less than 500 GB HDD

I have a 17"G4 powerbook lap top purchased new in 2006. The HDD just went on a walkabout. I want to knowifthe puter willl accept a SATA less than 500GB 7200 rpm HDD replacement. If so what bits and pieces would I need to effect such an upgrade?

This is what you are stuck with in the G4.
Hard Drive Interface
Ultra ATA/100 (ATA-6)
Links to this kind of drive. Or try google and Amazon (2.5 ATA hard drive). There isn't as much choice as these have not been OEM equiped for several years. I bought a spare for my G4 12" some time ago just in case I would need it. Finding a SCSI drive is even more challenging

Can I change the size of a photo image to less than 6KB?

I am trying to reduce the image size on i photo to less than 6KB or to less than 80x80pixels,
on a photo that was imported from photo booth, is that possible?

You can certianly get the 80 x 80. Crop the image to square, then File -> Export and you can set the maximum dimension in the Size field in the Export dialogue.

How to configure an image to specific parameters. Needed: no more than 1200 pixels on long side jpeg format no less than 5 mb. Image will be viewed on large standup screen.(original image is 22 mb)

I often have requests for images to be sent within certain parameters: such as "no longer than 1200 pixels on longest side + jpeg format + file size no less than 5 mb." Images will be viewed on a large stand up screen. My original image sizes are usually around 22 mb. When I use Export and specify 1200 pixels (quality setting is all the way over to 12), Save the file to a folder on the desktop, and then open the image in Preview, Inspector shows that the file size is now 233 KB. How do I meet all specifications without reducing the image size so drastically?
Thank you.

. Pardon, it reduced it down to 833 KB, not 233 (I mixed it up with another image) from the Original image of 22 MB, RAW. Should it reduce it down that much??
That will depend on the amount of of detail in your jpeg. Given a certain pixels size and level of quality, a jpeg with many details will require a larger filesize than a jpeg with large plain regions of constant color.
Is 833 KB a big enough file size to view on a big screen?
The file size is really unimportant for the quality. What will count is the pixel size and jpeg quality you set. What is the pixel size of the large screen? That should match the pixel size you are using in your export preset. 1200 longest dimension is extremely unlikely for a large screen. Even the 17" display of my MacBook Pro has a larger pixelsize of 1920x1200.
I am sharing William Lloyd's doubts, that the specifications you were given are correct. I'd try to export with a larger pixelsize and a high jpeg quality - perhaps 10.
If you export with 10 Megapixel and a good jpeg quality, you will probably get a 5MB file, not that the size should matter.

The height of mx:RichTextEditor in VDividedBox cannot be reduced to less than 200.

I'm using <mx:VDividedBox >, in which there are a mx:RichTextEditor and mx:Image, as in the code below.

Slideshow image resizing when adding new images

I am creating a series of slideshows on multiple pages. I created one slide show using the "basic" slideshow and resized it to the dimensions and settings I wanted. I have many pictures all of different proportion, therefore, I selected the "fill frame proportionally" so they would all fit the dimension I set. I wanted to use this first slideshow as a template for all of the rest. I added images to this first slideshow with no problems. All of my different sized images scaled or cropped to fit within the dimension I set. The problem comes in when I do two things: 1) When I add other images of different dimensions to this same slideshow gallery, they come smaller that the intended dimensions I set previous. I check the setting and it is still on "fill frame proportionally" similar to the first batch of pictures. 2) The second issue is when copy this slideshow as a template to other pages. When I try to replace or add to the slideshow gallery, the images come in cropped or smaller rather than filling the frame. Again, the settings are still the same from my very first slideshow that worked just as i intended.
I could resize all the images to all the same dimensions using another program like photoshop, but that is another step that is very tedious and it would seem that it should be something built into Muse.
Is there a way around this?. Am I doing something wrong? Or is this just one of those glitches that happens with Muse? I appreciate any help that I can get.
Thanks!

Hi, I got it to work like this:
Using background colours in Photoshop so that all sizes are the same in pixels. Then manually adjusting thumbnails by double-clicking on them so that a red square appears.
Cheers,
Elsemiek

Hi there Elsemiekagain,
I had to fiddle around with my slide show to get it to work. That is, it worked at first, then went funky, and I had to fiddle. So much fiddling that I can't possibly know what actually made it start to work again.
And to some degree, this is the way that I find Muse to be in general. That it requires finessing to get it to work as expected. This adds a good deal of time to every development project, though I am getting better at this with practice and experience.
Most of it is not even things that could be easily put in words as instructions, as many are nanced. But in fairness, this version of Muse is a complete code re-write this year. So we do need to cut Adobe some slack, and give the team time to iron things out.

Just Curious: Cropping Display for "Less than Ideal" Resolutions?

Hey there, its me again. This isn't a "life or death" type of thing, more just a "curiosity"; 'cuz I remember back when I had my classic hp zt1250, whenever the resolution was less than its full capabilities (1024X768), it would resize the input to the correct size, so for example if you were say, installing Windows (where the installer is only 640X480 or 800X600 or somethin' like that), instead of stretching it to the full screen and making it look crappy, it would box it in so that it would only take up those 800X600 or 640X480 pixels of the screen (in the end, you'd see a black box around the part of the screen where there was an image). On a laptop with such an awkward aspect ratio, it bugs me how the "Starting Windows" animation is stretched out (trivial, I know) because it is only in 1024X769 instead of the machine's native 1280X800 Resolution, so I was wondering if this is corrected in a BIOS update somewhere or if it was "Just another one of those oversights" on these fancy "Newish" laptops.
Thanks.

HT1848 On itunes, when synced to my pc, I show less than half of the music that is on my iphone 4. How do I get all the music onto my pc?

I am about to scream if I don't figure this out or just decide to leave Apple and get a Galaxy phone. On itunes, when synced to my pc, I show less than half of the music that is on my iphone 4. How do I get all the music onto my pc? I have read many forums and tried many things, but apple/iTunes is not intuitive at least not on a PC. When I go to devices it won't let me select "transfer music". It's grayed out. Why is this and what can I do? I'd like to delete some of the music off of my iPhone but don't want it gone forever. Pleae help.

Thanks Turingtest2,
I appreciate your response. I have done all of the things mentioned, but still when I click on "devices", the "transfer music" option is still not selectable. I see it, but can't select it. I am running Windows 7 on my PC.
However, one thing I read makes me take pause. At one point I did erase my computer back to factory settings using the mirrored image. We backed up all information and put the important stuff back on, but I don't believe we did anything with iTunes, so it's a possibility that the music that is in my library now, may only be music I have purchased since then. But, (thinking out loud) that was a while ago and I am pretty sure I have purchased more music than what is in my iTunes library, since then. Maybe I will approach it from that angle and see what happens.
It just doesn't make any logical sense that syncing goes from computer to device. Ostensibly then, my iPhone would only have the music that is on my computer after syncing and that is not the case. I still have all my music on my phone. I can see the new music that's on my phone get added to my iTunes library when I connect, which would make one think that syncing occurs both ways. I don't know. It's maddening. Maybe I should just follow my husbands advice and go to an Android. LOL. Or maybe I will take my laptop and phone to the Apple store and make them figure it out. Ha.
If you have any thoughts about this, let me know. Thanks again.
