Images lose quality when imported into Pages

Hi,
when I import images into Pages, they lose quality. They are normal jpg files.
After the import they look a bit fuzzy. I dunno why...
thanks

In the Inspector "Measures" there is a button allowing us to reset to the original size.
Of course, the picture will be smaller than the blurred one
or
will be too large and parts will be hidden.

Screen Capture Video Loses Quality When Imported Into iMovie - WHY?

I am using screen capture software to make a video of my screen at 1024x768. The video is for a tutorial. I want to use iMove to get things like transitions and such into the movie, and to add text and audio. The problem is that, although the video looks great in QuickTime, it loses quality significanly when I import into iMove. The text on the screen is blurry, and the quality of everything else is terrible as well.
Is this s limitation of iMove? Can screen capture video be imported? Does it only work with DV?
Also, I tried to convert the file to many other formats, from QuickTime to MPEG-4, so it's not the file type.
If anyone can help me out, I've be very grateful.
Thanks!

Your dimensions are getting in the way. iMovie converts your 1024X768 to a DV Stream file that is 720X480.
One workaround would be to set your display resolution smaller. Try 800X600 (if your windows fit that size).
If you're using Snapz Pro you should set your window capture to 640X480. This size will import nicely into iMovie.
An even better way would be to do all of the work using QuickTime Pro. Again a 1024X768 QT.mov file would not fit on the most common display settings used. When you add the QT Player window the controller would be below the screen and not accessible for most users.
800X600 would make a better file (smaller, too). It would still be 4:3 aspect and would also import into iMovie.

Image loses quality when loaded in Java

Images seem to lose quality when you load them in Java. Try this out to see what I mean... test_out.jpg is smaller than test_in.jpg
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.File;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
public class ImageTest
    public static void main (String args [])
        BufferedImage img = ImageIO.read (new File ("test_in.jpg"));
        ImageIO.write (img, "JPG", new File ("test_out.jpg"));
}Is there any way around this? I need to manipulate the image in Java, so I can't just input and output the bytes of the file.

Well, it's basically cutting the file in half... 1.69
MB to 862 KB. Doing the same thing in C# keeps the
file size 1.69 MB (no quality lost), but I want to
use Java because it's easier to manipulate pictures
in Java. 800 KB seems a little extreme...There is a lot of difference between no size loss in a file and "no quality loss". Each time you JPG something, some quality is lost even it the size of the file that results is the same as before--it's in the JPS algorithm for comprssion.

How do I get audio back on single clip that loses audio when imported into Premiere Pro CC?

I've got one clip out of many that for some reason won't play any audio when imported into Premiere Pro. I am new to Premiere Pro so am hoping it's something stupid I've done, but this is a problem with just a single clip exported the same way as all my others, the original audio is loud (not quiet) and none of the FAQ issues seem to apply (ie I haven't muted the audio or anything stupid like that)
The clip was exported from Plural Eyes into a "master" Premiere Pro project where the audio is fine. I exported it as a short MP4 clip and if I play the clip in Windows Media Player the audio is there loud and clear.
But when I import the clip into a fresh Preimiere Pro CC project this clip appears with just the "film strip" icon on the far left in the Timeline panel, unlike other clips which have an icon that shows "film strip" in the background and "audio wave" in the foreground.
I'm hitting so many glitches with the CC editions of Premiere Pro and After Effects which have annoying inconsistencies between them I'm tempted to just go back to Sony Vegas Pro (single program, no hassle) but hoping most of these issues are down to "newbie incompetence". Very hard to understand why this one clip out of many should be giving me this specific problem though. Any ideas?

I'm getting so many weird results. Most go away by simply closing the project and re-opening and I only have 6GB memory but even so, I'm disappointed by what I thought was supposed to be more "world class" video editing software than Sony Vegas Pro which I found to be a lot more stable. Also struggling with differences between Premiere and After Effects. Every time I want to do something in Pro I seem to need to go to After Effects and vice-versa. After Effects lets me do more of what I could "just do" in Vegas Pro timeline, but it's hideous for lining up audio and having to render anything in RAM to even get a clue as to what a change has done. Need to add Audition to the long list as well I suspect. Fun times!

Why do Apple photos lose quality when imported to Windows?

When photos taken on an Apple phone are imported to Windows Photoshop Elements 11, the photos seriously lose quality. Why?

A bitmap image (such as a .jpg or .gif) is basically a grid of colors, which are represented by the values (numbers) for how much red, green, and blue of each pixel in the grid to activate when the image is displayed on a monitor or printed.
Some bitmap images (including .jpgs) can also specify a color profile. Applications that support color profiles will adjust the color values before they are displayed. Photoshop honors color profiles, Fireworks does not. Fireworks does not, because most browsers do not; Fireworks displays images as they will be seen on the Web. Photoshop does, because Photoshop can support color profiles for print devices.
Photoshop has a default color profile. If you open an image that does not have a color profile in Photoshop, Photoshop will apply its default color profile to the image and adjust the color values it displays. Photoshop shows you modified data; Fireworks shows you the raw data. This is not a quality issue, because nothing has changed with your image and the applications are operating exactly as they are supposed to.
What you want, I think, is to be able to open your image in Photoshop, and then save the richer view of the colors you see, but without a color profile.

You can find out more about this whole issue if you query your favorite search engine for the phrase "photoshop save for web color shift" (without the quotes).

Colors in PNG image go crazy when imported into Illustrator

When I import certain PNGs into Illustrator CC, they look like this...
I've tried reinstalling the program and changing the document from CMYK to RGB. Not sure what else to try.

Any warnings about the color profile when importing the image?
What happens when you open it in Photoshop and then resave it as a TIF or PSD before importing in Illustrator?

RAW images are "locked"when imported into LR

I just got a new camera (Sony alpha 6000) and all my RAW images that I attempt to import into LR 4.4 are "locked" and therefore, cannot be imported.
When I click on the photo in my HD file and look at the "Get Info" the photo is not "locked".
Can't find any setting on my camera that shows the photo as "locked". Anyone know if this is a LR problem or a Sony problem?
I have a Nikon D40 that has no problem uploading RAW images to my LR 4.4.
Thanks for any help!!

Sony Alpha 6000 raw files require at least Lightroom 5.4.
You would need to upgrade Lightroom, or use the free Adobe DNG converter version 8.6 to convert your RAWs to DNG and then import those into Lightroom.

Original image automatically altered when importing into iPhoto

When importing photos from a CD into iPhoto (by first saving them to desktop then dragging them in to iPhoto), they are being automatically altered by iPhoto. They appear in their original form on the desktop, but when I drag them into iPhoto, it seems to be doing some auto-enhancing (in this case not for the better). May be missing something simple, but have not had this problem w/ importing photos from a CD before. Any ideas?

iPhoto works best with an sRGB colour profile. From your description of the symptoms you have a different colour profile.
Why is this important? Because the colour profile tells the computer how to display the colours. It tells it, in other words, what this file means by 'red' or 'blue'.
Try attach an sRGB profile to one or two of the pics and import them. See does it help. You can do this using the Tools menu in Preview.

Pictures are loosing quality when imported into I photo 08

Hello all,
I have just recently made the switch to mac with no regrets, only a few questions. Here is my situation. I recently took some pictures at a wedding, I have a nikon d80 set with a jpeg setting. Now the pictures when viewed on my camera, on my windows PC and in finder look great. When I imported them into i photo, all the photo's have more red tones in them. Please advise.
One more thing, when I imported the pictures, I saved them all to the hard drive, then imported them into i photo. don't know if it makes a difference.

SD video is just 1/3 megapixel. Importing a multi-megapixel image into iMovie turns it into a 1/3 megapixel image (or if you use Ken Burn: a 1/3 megapixel video).
Fear not. When you burn a DVD it will look just fine.
IMPORTANT: When sending to iDVD from iMovie, iMovie may tell you that some stills are not rendered. Do NOT let iMovie render them. iDVD will do a much better job rendering them.

Image loses resolution when converting from pages to jpg

I created an ad for my son's yearbook in Pages. It is 9MB but I need to submit as jpg. The only way I can figure to do that is to convert from Pages to PDF and from PDF to JPEG. However when I do this, it shrinks from 9MB to just over 1MB which is too low rez. Can anyone help? I'm on a deadline. Thanks!!!

OSX outputs pdfs at 72dpi if there is any transparency such as shadows, reflections, charts and of course directly specified transparency.
The jpeg is generated from a pdf and is the wrong method of producing an ad, which should remain text/vector to stay sharp, with photographic style images at 300dpi.
jpegs should only be used for purely photographic material because it makes everything else fuzzy.
Your ad should be supplied as a vector pdf. If it has photographic material do not use transparency effects and make sure the images are at least 300dpi at final size.

Poor image quality when importing SWF

I maintain a site for a photographer and as he added more
images the SWF got to be very large, so I split up the site and
used a main page to import the smaller SWF files into a target.
However, I found that all my clean crisp images become dull when
imported but still look sharp in the SWF itself. I tied to find all
the JPEG settings and push them up but still with no luck. Does
anybody have any insight to why this is happening?

Hello micsaint111111111111,
The reason they look more blurry than in the original swf is
that you are
dealing with dual compression from the original swf AND the
swf you are loading
the images into.
The easiest/best way to import your jpgs would be using
LoadMovie to load
the actual jpg files. That keeps all the jpgs separate so
your swf file will
be tiny. Plus the quality will be the same as the original
jpg.
That said- have you gone into your swfs and changed the
default image quality
on each of the images to 90 or 100? You do that in your
library by right-clicking
on the actual images and then going to Properties and
unchecking "Use document
default quality". That is one issue that a lot of people seem
to miss and
it might help if you don't want to recode your Flash with the
LoadMovie method.

My Images won't open in Photoshop CS5 when I click on Edit in Lightroom - even though this option has been selected? To edit in Photoshop I have to export image from Lightroom then import into Photoshop. I have other programmes such as NIK and if I wish

My Images won't open in Photoshop CS5 when I click on Edit in Lightroom - even though this option has been selected? To edit in Photoshop I have to export image from Lightroom then import into Photoshop. I have other programmes such as NIK and if I wish to edit in these everything works fine.

Same here. I've never had trouble with this function before.
It opens the Photoshop application with all the menus/windows, but it never opens the actual image I chose to work on.
I'm on a Mac, using OS X Yosemite, 10.10.1 Lightroom is version 5.7 Photoshop is CS5, version 12.0.4
FWIW, I also can't automate>Photomerge ... . Makes me think Photoshop, not Lightroom, is all wacky. I tried dumping PS preferences

Swf's/flash,banners When Importing Into Dreamweaver Put Out Slices..

Hi guys/gals
I think im doing it wrong or missing something, even have a funny feeling i might have to use some css? Not really sure.
My problem is after i have saved my move,banner - when imported into dreamweaver it puts all the slices out of whack ?
I cant find anywhere to import it into my photoshop layout, can't "Bring to front" in dream weaver <- ? :/
I have searched everywhere and I can't find with my terms what im looking for..I figure if nothing is coming up then im going about this
the wrong way
Any help would be muchly appreciated.

Hi
Slicing images from a photoshop comp and then creating a web page from them is never a good idea, and will present many compatibility problems for you. A better alternative is to use css based layouts, this does not mean that you must forget what you have done in photoshop just that the procedure is probably slightly more complex for someone who has not used css layouts before,
A good place to start would be the css basics tutorial then the, using css starter pages tutorial from the tutorials shown on this page - http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/css.html.
(the 2 tutorials mentioned are - http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/table_to_css_pt1.html, and http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/table_to_css_pt2.html.

Help! Photoshop edited jpg color distorts when imported into Muse

Okay, so I am trying to build a photography webpage (among others) and I edit most of my photos in photoshop. All photos that I edit in photoshop and save to jpg, look great when printed, uploaded to facebook, etc. however when I import them into Adobe Muse for and put them on my webpage, the colors of the photos become desaturated and/or slightly distorted (so that they look dull). When I edit images in lightroom and save them as jpg and import them into Muse, they look fine, but colors edited in photoshop seem to mess up my photos when imported into Muse.
What am I doing wrong?!
Susan

You are using some odd color management settings and not converting to sRGB most likely... Check your settings in PS itself and the Save for Web dialog and experiment around.
