Images are Blurry in FM 12 CHM and WebHelp Output.

Hello,
I am using the Trial version of FM 12 and attempting to export to both WebHelp and CHM.
We would like to use the original images, but the Publish process is resizing them. I read that setting Maximum Dimensions, Width and Height to 0 will cause the program not to resize the image. However, when I set W/H to 0, the images are deleted from my project output.
When I generate WebHelp I noticed that the HTML has a set style, but I haven't selected any of the options in the Image style.
<p class="FM_Figure"><img alt="UserRoles04NewRole.png" style="width : 306.319pt; height : 96.559pt; margin-bottom : 0.000pt; " id="image3" src="UserRoles04NewRole.png" /> </p>
I'm glad that the HTML is referencing the original graphic, I was thinking that for sure that the graphics were converted during the Publish process. But how do I configure my .sts so that the images are not resized?
Thanks!

Do the SVG vectors survive as vector?
And is that true for all work flows? (ebook, HTML, XML)
> Maybe there's a way to tag the image, one for print output and one for online use, ...
Yep, you can generate multiple instances of the images, and put each in a separate anchored frame. Then tag the frame anchor (┻) in the text with a Condition Code. Have a named CC for each workflow. Newer versions of FM may allow streamlining the CC Show/Hide process book-wide with scripting. Don't put the anchors right next to each, or they become impossible to select later. Anchor each frame to different points in the paragraph (and not inside words, other than words made of words, as that can break spell-check).

Still images are blurry when dropped into Canvas

HI, I am running Final Cut 7. When I drop still images into onto the Timeline, when I click on that image to appear in the Canvas they are blurry. However, when I put on the Alpha+RGB they are as sharp as they normally are - except they are red. How do I change this so they are sharp in the RGB channel?
Thanks for your help

Thanks. Like I said, I have downsized this still image to 720 x 576 at 72 ppi and it goes to crap.
I just changed the setting to HD 1280 x 720. Import the 720 x 576 at 72 ppi ... looks good but needs to be rendered .. render and it goes to crap. Everything that is imported needs to be rendered - then it all goes to crap. OR video looks good as a still frame and when rendered it goes to crap as it isn't HD but I thought it would be the quality of what it normally is just in an HD environment.
Thinking Final Cut X will solve these issues as it doesn't have these format problems like 7 does.

OSX Lion jpeg 'preview' images are blurry after altering them

When i edit a photograph in photoshop (cs3/cs4 etc, it doesnt matter which version) the preview of that image goes blurry after its saved. The image is the full res still and hasnt lost any quality but when i have the icons that are of a large size they appear really blurry and 'low-res'
I know its a small gripe but it makes things difficult as a photographer when im trying to organise images that perhaps look similar or i want to see as a whole set.

Hello, sorry, I don't know the cure for this, but as a photographer you might have a look at Tr-Catalog, where you can choose the size thumbnail/icon/detail...

Highlights are rendered unevenly, in LR4.1 and in outputs

I am using LR 4.1 on a Mac with OS 10.6.8, and my highlights are showing banding or steps in the highlights as they gradate from bright to pure white. Seems to happen no matter which camera was used. Also, tiffs and jpegs output from the raw file exhibit the same banding. I do not remember this being an issue in LR 3.6 which I just upgraded from, but when I just now opened the same image in LR 3.6 I see the same problem. I just upgraded the OS before installing LR 4.1. Could the new OS be the problem? Is there a known issue with this in LR4? The only local adjustment I have made is spot removal.
If there is a thread on this already, please direct me to it. I searched and did not find one.
Thanks,
Jerry Mann

Hi Rikk, thanks for the reply.
I am on an iMac, this one here:
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/specs/imac-core-2-duo-2.4-20-inch-aluminum-earl y-2008-penryn-specs.html
From my system profiler:
ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT
iMac Display:
Resolution:
1680 x 1050
Pixel Depth:
32-Bit Color (ARGB8888)
Hmmm, is that "32-Bit Color Pixel Depth" a problem with LR4 having that 64-bit spec?
I calibrate my monitor manually using Apple's procedure.

How to customize CHM and PDF output

I can easily generate CHM and PDF using the Generate Output option offered by DITA-FMx, but the output is just standard and I would like to customize it according to the company style. Which files should I work on to modify fonts, colours, indentation, etc, both for CHM and PDF?

For PDF output, you should be using the Generate Book from Map command. This is one of the main reasons to use FrameMaker for DITA .. the high quality PDF output. You'll never achieve the same level of quality through XSL-FO as you do through native Frame. See this video for info on leveraging DITA-FMx features for PDF publishing ..
http://blog.leximation.com/2010/03/pdf-publishing-with-dita-fmx-1-1/
To customize the formatting of any output generated through the DITA Open Toolkit (which is what is used by the Generate Output command), you have to modify the XSL and CSS files in the DITA-OT. The "proper" way to do this is to create an OT plugin that provides you with a custom Ant target that does exactly what you want. You can then deliver this plugin to others on your team who need to generate the same output, and you haven't mucked around with the core OT files. You can also just dive in and tweak the files directly, but when you break something you won't be able to test with the original files without restoring from backups.
You can start by tweaking the CSS files, but if you need to make structural modifications to the way the HTML is generated, you'll need to do some XSL work. Note that setting the @outputclass value on the DITA topic files, passes that value into the corresponding element in the @class attribute of the generated HTML. This is a good way to allow you to control formatting of specific elements.
The best place to go for instructions/info on exactly which files to modify in the OT and how to build a plugin, is the dita-users Yahoo group. This is definitely the list to be on for anything that relates to the DITA-OT.
Scriptorium Publishing has a nice whitepaper on customizing the OT ..

Also, the dita.xml.org website has some useful info.

PS CS 5 and images are blurry/pixelated.

Opened a clear image in QuickLook. Opened in PS CS5 to edit and it is blurry. PS is blurry/pixelated too - the tools, the font, etc. What can I do to fix this? I have had PS CS 5 for awhile now and have never had this problem before. Already tried re-opening, shutting down.

Well if I had I didn't know it. I checked under System Preferences > Hardware - Displays, but that option is not there. I searched around to try to find it, but did not. Can you point me in the direction of that setting? I am hoping that is all it is. Thank you.

Help!!! Images are blurry/low-res in InDesign files I sent - re-linking is not working or we're doing it wrong :(

So I am transferring all of my InDesign files over to my boss because I am leaving my job, but all of the photos placed in the layouts I've created show up blurry when he opens the files on his own computer. We've tried relinking the files, even! We may be doing it wrong, so first of all, could I get a detailed step-by-step to relinking files? Secondly, if that doesn't work, what else would you suggest?
Info that may or may not help: I have a PC, he has a Mac, we used Google Drive to share the files, and I've already tried packaging the files.
Thanks!

Is it now the appearance in ID only or also PDF output? If the output is fine, it may just be the screen display settings. ID by default shows a low res screen copy. You can check on the boss' computer by selecting an image, right click and change the setting...near the bottom of the menu.
Also, in the links panel, are all the images up to date?

Uploaded images are blurry

Hi all, I have tried numerous options when resizing my 100MB TIFF files to JPEGS but all result in blurry images when uploaded. I have opened the files on my laptop prior to uploading and they're great. I was advised to limit the width to 600 pixels but thsi made no difference at all. I used both photoshop CS6 and lightroom 4.3 with the same outcome. Has anyone had similar experiences or advice? Thanks

Thanks - I see the project here (http://www.behance.net/gallery/Perspectives-Of-Form-A-Sojourn-Away/9001215) but I don't see the original image you sent me for comparision...were did you send this? If possible, please send it in a support ticket here: behancenetwork.zendesk.com/anonymous_requests/new
Also - the "share to Behance" feature from Photoshop and Lightroom only publishes a "Work in Progress," not a project like the one you've sent me - are you seeing the same issues whether you upload directly to Behance (like the project) vs. share from Creative Cloud? Thanks!

Still Images Are Blurry

Hi All,
I will start with saying that, I saw quit a lot of discussions on the net with the same issue. However couldnt find the solution for it.
The Issue:
I am trying to create a stop-motion video using Adobe Premiere Pro CS6.
I am importing a bunch of still photos into my project.
When I drag&drop any image into the sequence it looks very blurry relatively to the original photo.
The same result after rendering and exporting the sequence.
Additional settings:
I also set to automatically fit the photo(s) to the sequence settings (Default scale to frame size).
Raw Meterial:
4288X2848 JPG.
I tried to resize the photos before importing but I get the same results
The target sequence:
720X576
60 FPS
I tried other sequence setting with no much luck.
My questions:
What am I doing wrong?
Why I see the video/images blurry?
Thanks for your time and effort.
Sample of "What I See".
Pay attention that the right side is blurry, that is the video preview pane. On the left is the original photo preview.

First of all, I stopped watching the video when it says a second has 60 milliseconds. That is not true. And it is not relevant.
I can't tell if you live in Israel or were vacationing there. They do use PAL there, but I think you should probably forget about using PAL.
Here is my suggestion. Use your 4288X2848 image to create your sequence. Limit yourself to 24 frames per second and you will have a lot less work to do.
I think you are being tricked into seeing something the wrong way. When I open one of my images in the Source Monitor, it is usually set to "Fit". Change it to 100%.
When I have one of my images in the Program monitor, it is usually set to "Fit". Change it to 100%. Try this out. Pick a picture with something nice and sharp in the exact center of the image. Compare both monitors.
Here is a shot of my screen doing that. There is a file size limit here on the forums so you are only seeing a small part of both monitors. I don't see any blurring. Do you?
Edit: You are probably going to have to cut the frame size down to export it - for now. Just cut each number in half after upping the quality and setting the frames per second back to 24.. One of these days you may end up going back and exporting again - when Premiere Pro catches up and lets you export H.264 at that size.
Hi,
Well...
I wrote in my previous post that I tried creating a sequence from my photo and I got the same blurry results.
I used PAL because that is the tutorial I found.
Would appreciate if any can say what are the settings I need in order to create a "slide show" movie.
I don't mind resizing the images, 4288 x 2848 is too large anyhow, it is just the default output from my camera.
I don't think I am "tricked" into seeing something that is not true. As I wrote, I get the same results after exporting the sequence and creating the clip video.
Another anoing point is that I already did something similar in the past and it worked perfectly. not sure what is going wrong now =[
Thanks for your time and efforts.

Why does my high res photoshop image appear blurry when placed in InDesign and Exported as PDF?

Hi there,
I have a problem I've been trying to solve for days but just can't find the answer anywhere on the internet.
I have a large, good quality photoshop file (2268 x 979 pixels, resolution 300 pixels per inch). When I place it into InDesign, the image appears OK (I've changed my display settings to HIGH) - I then resize it in InDesign to 10% and the file still looks great! Then, when I export it as PDF (high quality print) it looks blurry.
Does anybody know why? The strangest thing is, I've placed other photoshop images in the same InDesign file and they look crystal clear. It is just this one I am having trouble with. I've saved it in the same folder as the other pictures, I've tried placing it as psd. , jpg. , photoshop pdf, png. everything...
The image looks great in both photoshop and indesign, only when exported as pdf it looks awful.
Any help will be greatly appreciated,
Many thanks in advance!
Weronika

It's probably the extreme reduction -- you're throwing away 90% of the image pixels and interpolating, and then using jpeg compression on top.

I make greetings cards and use images downloaded from cardmaking websites eg - cently I find I cannot copy and paste an image from adobe reader which is the how the images are downloaded. Why is this and how do I copy and paste an image on a adobe reader

copying and pasting images from adobe. I make greetings cards and use images downloaded from cardmaking websites eg - printable heaven. Recently I find I am unable to copy and paste the images which are opened in adobe reader. Why ? How can I overcome this problem.

Check the document properties; is copying allowed?

I downloaded the web developer tool bar and after using it my images are gone. I use google and a home page and the big google is gone. I uninstalled firefox and reinstalled it but I still don't have any images. How can I get them back?

Two days ago I downloaded the web developer tool bar (aus2.mozilla.com). I tried to use it but gave up. I deleted the tool bar.
I don't have any images anymore. I use Google.com as my home page (default) and the large GOOGLE isn't there anymore. I've also noticed some of the sites I use don't have the continue or next or enter keys anymore. It seems the only thing I have now is the text.

Are you sure you are looking at the Google page?? In Firefox 4.0 the default homepage / Start Page in Firefox was changed to '''about:home''' which looks a lot like the former www.google.com/firefox homepage.

Please tell me why my images are blurry.

Alright, now why when I import a 3-5 megabit image it looks blurry when I scale it DOWN. I am confused, but then again when I zoom in on my text, that is just as blurry. Is there a reason for this or does it get clear when I finalize my DVD. Thanks for any help.

I am going to try to fix this without posting, I know it can't be to hard.
First I know my picture is very large because when I expand it the blurriness goes away. So my first question is what apple software will fix this. The file size is 2.5 roughly and looks clear in viewer but like crap in Motion, how do I fix that?
Secondly, Should I be able to see my image clearly on the screen or will it get better when it's all finalized.
Lastly should I be on 8 bit for viewing or does that have nothing to do with my problem.
Thanks for any help.

Homescreen images are blurry in iOS4

I'm liking iOS4 however one thing I noticed is that all my homescreen wallpapers look fuzzy, like they have been blown up too big (they didn't with iOS3). I know you can "squeeze" them smaller but not that much smaller. It's still fuzzy.
Anyone having the same problem or know why this is happening?

Try Re-syncing your photos. I had the same issue, all photos in my Camera Roll were blurry. That worked for me
Wonder if with the new display the sync is set for a higher resolution image now.

Check if Style Resource Readers SharePoint group has permissions on the site, permissions to the style library and make sure that this library provides Style Resource Readers with restricted read.
If you don't see Style resource readers on the site, go to that library and set that permission. you could also just load your installation media to a folder, and execute on setup.exe, select repair option. This second option of the installation
