Images are pixelated

All the photos that I open in Photoshop lose their quality and appear pixelted, in comparsion to when i open and edit photos in digital photo professional.
Please help me
The camera used is a Canon rebel t3, and I shoot most photos in Raw, however i experience this problem even with photos shot in jpeg

It sounds like you are looking at the thumbnails rather than the original picture. Are the pictures dis-connected for some reason(perhaps they were moved outside of PSE?)?

  • NEWBIE: Flash photo gallery! Images are pixelated:(

    Greetings everyone. I created a Flash photo gallery using
    gifs. While most of the images are acceptable visually, a bunch of
    them are quite pixelated.
    I read online that I am supposed to use vector graphics
    whenever possible, but not all images where created as vector
    graphics.
    I have a few questions:
    If I create the image in illustrator, what format should I
    save it as to be used in a Flash gallery? If I create the image in
    Photoshop what format should I save it as?
    Lastly, is it true that Flash will load vector graphics
    quicker than gifs?
    Any info would be appreciated! Oh yeah, my site is
    inthemixgraphics.com

    if you create an illustrator file, actually drawing with the
    tools rather than just importing a bitmap and exporting it again,
    it will indeed give you a vector file you can work with. you can
    even export it as images that are readable by flash-- however,
    you'll get the best looking stuff if the vector is basically
    rewritten in flash. Import a (dot)eps file into flash, and break it
    apart. Look at how the objects maintain their shape.
    Now publish the thing and look at the bandwidth viewer. Is
    the filesize much smaller than if you imported the .jpg? It should
    be, but at least there is a way to check it.
    I get the most pixalation from images when I'm forced to
    scale .png's down by less than a perfect %. Its weird.
    If you're loading externally, I'm not entirely sure the
    correct process to bring an optimized vector in, as my thoughts are
    that it would be the actual size of the .eps image (or .swf if you
    can export to that) itself.
    --I hope this makes some sort of sense, and if it doesn't
    you'll have to forgive me.

  • Printed images are pixelating

    Images already printed clearly, are pixelating when I copy and then past as layers onto a new canvas.
    This is a proceedure I have used many times in the past, and am quite surprised, and lost, about the reasons for it.
    Any help on this question?

    Hi, Trevor,
    The light came on, and the problem corrected...knew it was something simple,and upon reading your response, realized that another adjustment I was using (setting the canvas size to the media size) was creating the problems with the pixels.
    Thanks for your quick response.

  • Exported images are pixelated

    I am having trouble with ALL of my exported images.  The only one I can say that have come out better have been a high quality print PDF.  JPG, GIF, EPS - all have turned out to be pixelated.  I know what I am doing and this has never happened to me before.  I asked in two other forums and the people acted like I was stupid!  I have been working with these programs for years!  I just may not be wording my problem correctly, so bare with me. 
    I created a logo in illustrator and it looks great on the screen, but when I export it as say a JPG and bring it back in to illustator it looks horribly pixelated.  I am exporting at the highest level possible.  Is there another setting that would cause it to be pixelated? 
    I have tried so many different things now I am not sure what else to do.  Could this be cause by a lacking update?  A bad set of fonts with a virus, maybe? I don't know anymore - any help will be GREATLY appreciated!
    This all just started I was working on it just fine a couple of days ago with no problems and now everything has been different.

    vividdesigngirl, I apologize if my message has offended you in any way. That was not my intention and I really wanted to help you, I was pretty much sure and still believe that what I said is the only ways to get the results you reported not because I'm judging you or anything like that but because I don't know how else one can get the results you reported. Also if it is not obvious English is not my native language and I may have failed in using it properly. Again apologies for anything that sounded offending.
    If you are still interested in my contribution to solving your problem, I would say that I don't understand well what you have done to the exported image as described in the first paragraph of you last reply. Using File > Export to JPG doesn't recognize artboards - they are ignored. The image is clipped by the bounding box of the objects. So if the bounding box of your book is 8x5 inches, regardless of the size of the artboard, and if you export with High selected for Depth, you will get 2400x1500 pixels for the book and not 576 by 360 pixels as you originally reported. If what you are saying is that your book image is in fact 2400x1500 pixels without any margins around and it still looks pixelated, this is entirely different problem than the one you initially reported by saying it is 576 by 360, and to solve it you have to provide additional information in that regard.
    edit: Oh, wait

    ...I accidently thought the question was how big my artboard was in pixels not my exported image. ...
    you mean you artboard is 576 by 360 as measured on the rulers in Illustrator? And thus your book which fits in it? OK, I get it. The pixels unints on the ruler and in the transform controls are used only for the default size if you use Save for Web and Devices but as I said, you can change them in the Image tab.
    If the exported image is in fact 2400x1500 pixels you should not see any pixelation. How are you bringing this image back to Illustrator. What happens if you right click on the file and choose open with Illustrator? Is it still pixelated?
    edit 2:
    if this happens with every image, can you please, create a simple document with a few simple round or skewed objects that show the pixelation, export as you usually do and share the illustrator and the exported jpg files by providing a link This is the best way to find the problem.

  • My vector (flattened) images are pixellated when imported in Illustrator. How do I fix this?

    Hello.
    I am experiencing an issue in Adobe Illustrator.
    When attempting to import picture files in Illustrator from PhotoShop, the image appears blurred/pixellated. The image (a .psd file) is converted in Illustrator to a .ai file. I create vector (flattened) images in PhotoShop, which should maintain their picture clarity and quality regardless of what program the vectored image is opened with. Somehow, they are becoming pixellated when converted to .ai files in Illustrator.
    I use both Adobe CS6 and Adobe Creative Cloud
    Is there a setting or solution that I can implement to rectify this issue?
    Many thanks in advance for everyone's input and assistance.

    Hello, Doug and John.
    Thank you for your replies and for providing feedback.
    I am aware that vector format files are only for illustrator. However, I believe you can make a smart object in photoshop using the vector art and it will keep its vector file format in photoshop allowing it to not pixelate.
    I would be more interested in seeing if uninstalling and reinstalling the programs would have anything to do with it and also trying to find the settings. Would anyone happen to know if this will resolve the issue? I am hoping this is correct forum in which to post this topic/issue.
    Thank you again for your help.

  • CS6 - Hires Bitmap images are pixelated in PDF output

    Hello all,
    I am creating Frames and using the Placing high resolution bitmaps into these frames (e.g. 1000 pixel wide .png) and then using the Object/Fitting/Fit Object Proportionally function. I am using the highest resolution practical to ensure good quality when the PDF document is zoomed in.
    Unfortunately, what I am observing is that the images only look okay at 100%. Zooming in just displayed a pixilated image.
    I have checked for PDF downsampling so that isn't the issue. Any ideas?
    Thank you

    Thanks Peter,
    >Just type a higher number inthe downsample to field in the dialog
    I should have explained that I attempted manually changing the value but a dialog box appears... stating that I must use a value between 72 - 300 PPI.
    >You can also set no compression, or Zip compression, which is lossless.
    The only options I have are: JPEG, JPEG 2000, and Automatic. BTW, I am using the latest version of InDesign CC CS6.
    Nevertheless, Export to PDF wasn't what I needed. All I needed to do was modify the PDF Printer's preferences for High Quality Print. Everything is good now.
    Thanks to everyone.

  • Full browser flash site - bg images are pixelating

    I have my swf publishing at 100% width and height and set it to scale with the browser. The background image was a psd designed at a height of 680 px. When I check on larger monitors the background images pixelates. Is the only way to fix this is to redesign the psd at a higher resolution? What would I need to do to make sure the artwork doesn't pixelate no matter what size monitor is being viewed on. Thank you?

    Anytime you enlarge an image from its true size you risk visible pixelation.  The images would need to be sufficiently large to handle any resolution.

  • RAW Import into iPhoto 4 - are pixelated results permanent?

    OK, I made a mistake. Imported photos from Nikon D100 into iPhoto 4 but didn't "recall" I had RAW quality set (usually JPEG-normal). When I did get to viewing the Import in detail, I saw to my chagrin that the images are pixelated.
    Can anyone advise if the images are recoverable? (I couldn't get Nikon 5 to perform magic or Photoshop CS. I have ordered iLife 6 to upgrade iPhoto...).
    Thank you in advance.

    G4 Desk, G3 Pismo   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    I did a search for "embedded thumbnails in Nikon RAW format" and found discussions that indicated .NEF files contain a low-resolution thumbnail. Since RAW support was probably introduced in iPhoto 5 or 6, I'm betting that iPhoto 4 is "seeing" the embedded thumbnail.
    I can't confirm this since I have iPhoto 6 only but maybe you could go to the file in your iPhoto library folder and double-click it (open in Preview). If the image is of high quality, then the file was imported but iPhoto can't read the RAW part.
    Also look at the size. It should be huge - maybe over 5 or 6 MB depending on the camera's megapixel rating. 3x-5x the jpeg size. If that's the case and the file extension is .nef and not .jpg, you probably have the whole file and updating to iPhoto 6 will display RAW in all its glory. If the file size is tiny (make sure you're not looking at the thumbnail file that iPhoto creates independently) then it's possible iPhoto never imported the full image.
    Do you still have the photos on your card?

  • All titles are Pixelated

    I am creating 3 separate dvds.... I have made the movies and spent tons of time on the titles and themes...getting them just right. When I view it in iMovie 09, it looks really clear. When I export to my MobileMe Gallery, in high resolution, the text looks beautiful. Then I exported to iDVD and burned a DVD and now the images are pixelated and so are all of the text/fonts in the titles and themes.
    Please help. These projects need to look legible and I have invested so much time in this.
    Any suggestions as to how to correct this? Thanks!!!

    I went through share/idvd. is using the media browser going to help with the quality? I didn't know about the Project Properties. I assumed that it would make it professional quaility. I guess I should not assume.
    So what is the best way to correct the issue? I will try to change to professional quality and try again. I think I was most shocked because the one on the mobileme gallery looked beautiful and then the dvd looked completely horrible.
    Any other suggestions/comments are appreciated.
    Thank you.

    What is the file format of the vector you downloaded?  Custom Shapes have a .PSP extension, and are placed according to this table.
    Preference filenames and locations in Photoshop CC
    They will then be loadable from the Custom Shapes drop down — click on the cog icon > Load shape > Find your downloaded vector.
    Once placed in the image, it will appear as a Shape layer, and can be edited with the Path, and Direct Selection tools (black and white arrows on the toolbar)

  • When I open thumbnail images in another tab they are pixelated, what's wrong?

    When I go on any website with images they are pixelated. Placing the cursor over each image gives the me the option of pressing 'alt' and 'r' to refresh the image or 'alt' and 'a' to refersh the whole page. When I open a thumbnailed picture in a new tab, whether or not I've refreshed the page or the image beforehand, the image is pixelated and I can't refesh it. What's going on?

    Every time Firefox opened

    Sounds like you are using a dial-up connection along with a "web accelerator". If that is the case it is a feature of that web accelerator from your ISP. They speed up page loading by initially supplying lower quality images and giving you the option of loading the original, full resolution image from their cache with those keyboard commands. Other ISP's with a web accelerator feature use Contextual menu items, which are added to Firefox via an extension installed into Firefox.
    As far as not having the option to load the full quality image when you open it in a new Tab, I have no idea why that option doesn't appear. You should contact support at your ISP to ask about that issue.

  • CS6 InDesign - Default display is high-quality. Four placed images are Illustrator files. Three images look the way they should - high-quality. One image looks pixelated. Why?

    InDesign CS6 - Default display is high-quality. All four placed images are Illustrator files. Three images look the way they should - high-quality. One image looks pixelated. Why?

    Not sure if this will help, but what is your inDesign file's "Transparency Blend Space" set to? It's under the edit menu.
    Also, when you are placing your images, are you selecting "Show Import Options" and making any selections there?

  • Why are my images being pixelated when using free transform?

    HI.
    I am pretty comfortbale with PS but stil learning more of the finer details.  I can't find an answer for this on any help topics or threads.
    I often bring several images into a document or workflow and it seems that when I reduce an image that's too big for the canvas, it looses it's quality as soon as I break out the transform tool and becomes very pixelated.  Any thoughts?
    Thanks very much

    Thanks for both of your suggestions.  My images are at 100ppi resolution and I am viewing the documents at about 150% the entire time.  My image interpolation is set for bicubit (best for smooth gradient).
    I've tried to reproduce the problem in different ways before replying here and think I've narrowed it down a bit.  It seems that when I use the File->Place way to insert an image into an existing document, I don't run into this pixelation or image degredation issue.  It's only when I drag an image from one document to another using tabbed document introduced in CS4 (I'm using CS5 btw).
    If I have document 1 open and drag an image (or layer) from document 2 into document 1, then resize that image in document 1, I get a loss of quality.  Not sure if that helps anyone else.  Also not sure why this is hapenning as the ability to drag layers back and forth is pretty handy and I'd rather not give it up.

  • My photos are pixelated when I put them into another new document such as a photo collage.  I am trying to put a regular 8x11 image into a 4x6 photo collage of two other images.  All come out blurry.

    I need help! I am trying to put several photos that are large size 8x11 into a small 4x6 new document photo collage.  When I do my images are blurred or pixelated.  Even my fonts in the new document are pixelated and my photshop brushes as well.  I am a novice so I may be doing something wrong.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I have the dinosaur PSE2 but the method should be the same in 11.
    Image > Resize > Image Size  (the path to Image Size might be different in 11). This brings up the window:
    The DPI is in the Resolution box. Enter the new value. Check the Constrain Proportions and Resample Image boxes and click OK.

  • IMovie 6 HD - TV Screen Images are blurred

    How do I created iMovie DVD that plays clear images and text?
    I do not want to keep wasting DVDs experimenting for clear result.
    I created iMovie per instructions from another post:
    imported screenshots of website using KenBurns effect;
    set the effect to 1.0 to stop zooming, and did not allow iMovie to render movie when exporting.
    Discussion indicated that blurred image in iMovie would be clear on TV screen.
    Imported snapshots were crystal clear in Preview and Photoshop.
    Imported iMovie to iDVD and burned DVD.
    DVD plays blurred images and text.

    Are you saying I should size any still images at 768x576 pix before importing them into iMovie since that is TV resolution?
    If you are using PAL, yes. For NTSC, the resolution is 640x480 pixels.
    Does it matter what dpi the images are?
    No, the dpi is of NO concern in video.
    If snapshot captures screen images at 72dpi,
    does it help to increase dpi of image in Photoshop?
    No.
    or is that only interpolating dpi since capture was at 72dpi?
    Yes.
