Images ocasionally exporting low resolution without warning

When we export a book as jpegs we find that occasionally they will export pixelated, as if its exporting just the indesign preview image.
All the links are linked and updated and we receive no warnings when this happens. It will happen at random and we may get an image export fine first time and then pixelated on the next export.
Here are some close up comparisons from the background of one of these exports.

When all export settings are right,
you should check if all links in the Link Panel (Window > Link) are up to date.

    No, not in the Photos app. You would need to purchase/download a phot editing app for that.

  • Exporting low resolution of RAW timeline for review

    Hi
    I really like working with RED RAW files in Premiere CC. Successfully completed a 60 minute video, exported multiple versions and delivered.
    It has worked out quite well despite a few crash glitches here and there. Worked through those with the help of this valuble Adobe community.
    I'd like to know how to export out a rough, low-resolution review file of my un-rendered RED RAW timeline for client's review? There isn't much point spending 5 hours rendering and exporting a high resolution file, only to reduce it down to an iPod quality so the client can easily download for review and suggest modifications.
    Is it even possible to output without rendering, and if yes, how?
    Any feedback shall be much appreciated.
    Thank you

    Hello,
    "I'd like to know how to export out a rough, low-resolution review file of my un-rendered RED RAW timeline for client's review?"
    Open up the export dialog by hitting Ctrl+M while your timeline is open.  A good place to start for low file sizes is choosing the H.264 option.  Afterward, you can scroll through the presets until you find options for small devices such as iPod.
    Don't select 'Use Maximum Render Quality' as that will certainly not be necessary in your case and may just add time to the export.
    "Is it even possible to output without rendering, and if yes, how?"
    If there is a red bar in your timeline, you can choose to render the indicated items prior to exporting.  If you do render them, you can check the box 'Use Previews' during the export dialog, and that will save the respective time from the export.
    But either way, your computer will need to process those items at some point before outputting a file.

  • Web graphics / images display in low resolution on any web browser

    Hi everyone.
    This issue has had me stumped for a few months now. I never noticed this issue with Snow Leopard but now with Lion I have noticed that web graphics display at a significantly lower resolution. I switch between Google Chrome and Safari and the issue is present on both browsers.
    Basically any website with graphics, or images will be pixelated and lacking in fine detail. It is painfully obvious when browsing sites like Flickr and 500px. In these cases, my own personal images look terrible online, but look absolutely normal in my Lightroom library, so I know it's not a strange display issue on my Mac.
    I'm just curious if anyone has had a similar issue, and if you have figured out how to resolve it.
    Thank you very much!
    - Abram

    i have the same issue with safari on my mac. i'm not sure if i have snow leopard or not. all i know is i am on a G4 with mac os 10.5.8 and have safari 5.0.1. last week, i could not watch certain video clips online, because {as it stated in my browser where the video should be} i did not have the most recent flash player. but when i went to download the most recent version, it told me it would not work on a power pc mac. so i researched and found out i had to use the flash 10.1.102.64 player... it's the most recent version that will work on a power pc mac. so i uninstalled the flash player i had on my mac and installed this player. all well and good... now i can see the videos.
    but what's not well and good is that i no longer have hi-res images in my browser. all images are pixelated and unclear. i posted on the adobe forum to see if i could get an answer as to why.
    here was my post/inquiry...
    "I recently upgraded my Flash Player so that I could view internet content (such as videos) that were not available to me before I upgraded. Ever since, the images on most web sites that I visit are now pixelated (look very low-resolution). I had not made any other changes to any settings on my computer or software. The browser I use is Safari 5.0.1. I had to upgrade to the Flash Player 10.1.102.64 because I am on a PowerPC Mac G4, and that is the most recent version of Flash Player that will work with Power PCs.
    Anyway, now that I have upgraded (which included first uninstalling the old Flash Player), my images look pixelated... most do, anyway. For some reason images I post to flickr appear okay on screen. But normal 72dpi images on standard web sites (like Yahoo) appear very lo-res.
    Does this have to do with whether or not my Mac's operating system is 64-bit or 32-bit... or the Safari software... in relation to the Flash Player's... whether or not they are compatible? If not, I have no idea why this would have changed since upgrading my Flash Player. And if so, what can I do to get around it? I'm somewhat computer savvy... but not this much. Can someone please help me so that I don't have to pay $39 to call Support and ask them?"
    here was their reply...
    "Sounds like the installation went pear-shaped somewhere. Try it again using the method described here:https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2805854?start=0&tstart=0
    Or maybe they'll know what the cause of your pixelated images is."
    but the discussion link they gave me did not help. i had already done what it suggested. and i tried it again... still no luck.
    help.... anyone!!!! please?

  • After OS X update moving 1:1 images results in low resolution and a long delay to snap into high res

    After the OS X 10.8.5 update on my current generation 27' iMac moving 1:1 images results in very low resolution for those areas I am moving to with as long as a two second delay before the image snaps back into full resolution. Not only that but when it snaps back into full resolution you see a shift in alignment and a snapping into place with the nearby area that was already in full resolution. This is awful and is occuring with Lightroom 5 and 5.2. Has anyone experienced this?
    My iMacs specs are the current generation 27" iMac, i7 3.4 Ghz, 32GB RAM, and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2GB running OS X 10.8.5.
    I did not have this issue with OS X 10.8.3.

    I have noticed something similar on my Win7x64 system, but am not able to reliably reproduce it. It seems, for me at least, to be a combination of +Clarity and Lens Profile Correction which will always trigger an observable screen redraw when moving from segment to segment in 1:1 view mode. The variable is the delay.....most often it's a fleeting effect, but occasionally there's a more obvious delay in redrawing the image display. I suspect the more obvious delay is, in addition to the +Clarity and Lens Correction, some internal resource utilisation over a longer Lightroom session....certainly every time I've encountered it a Lightroom restart has cleared it up.
    Don't know it that helps, or gives you any pointers to reducing the impact. Because of another "issue" with Lens Corrections (when it's applied, Spot Removal work gets slower), I tend to apply it last of all when editing pictures....so that also helps avoid this 1:1 screen redraw problem.

  • Creating PDF in low resolution without colours disappearing

    Our product catalog is generated from our website to a PDF document of high quality (48,200 kB). We have also put the product catalog on our website (www.gewa.no) in low resolution quality (8544 kB) with Adobe Acrobat (version 9 Standard) so that it will go faster to download it. What we see then is that the color codes at the top sides of all sections/areas except for the blue codes on the section Environmental control (“Omgivelseskontroll) disappears. What is causing this and what can we do for the color codes to be retained even if the PDF-document is in low resolution? Maga60

    As I wrote we have created the PDF document/catalogue from the products on our website and afterwards I have tried to save this high resolution PDF in a lower PDF quality using Adobe Acrobat (version 9 Standard). As far as I know there are no "layers" used in the Acrobat, so I do not understand what you mean by "moving it to a higher layer". Please clearify.

  • IDVD exporting low resolution

    I made 5 slideshows on iMovie and exported them HD quality, and they look great on my iMac.
    I put them on a basic iDVD menu and burnt them onto a DVD (burnt 3 seperate disks as best performance, high quality AND professional quality) and the entire thing looks pixely and unprofessional.
    It's not only my slideshows, the menu is blurry also! How do I fix this? These are for a wedding client and I would hate to have to give them this low quality DVD.
    Suggestions?
    Thank You!

    Hi
    There are many things to this.
    • Your Mac is capable to show much higher quality than what anyone with any program can put on a playable DVD - AS DVD is a standard limited to SD-Video - There are no HD DVD at all (only a short time in history and to be played on a few very rare Toshiba HD-DVD players)
    • Then when understanding what's possibly with DVD - One can get better or worse of this too.
    To get an as bad result possibly (who wouldn't like this) one Use - iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 as they only deliver every second line over to iDVD (called interlaced video - as what's on a DVD) and to make this even more worse one selects to do this Export by using "Share to iDVD" within iMovie - as iMovie now will render it and does this SO BAD.
    To get an as good result possibly with DVD I do
    • Use a video-editor that Export 100% of the interlaced material to iDVD as iMovie up to HD6 or any version of FinalCut (or FotoMagco™ - for SlideShows)
    • I DO - Share to Media Browser and as Large (not HD) - If I have to use iMovie 08 to 11 - as this give a better resul. In iMovie up to HD6 I just import the movie project from within iDVD - now iDVD will render and so much better.
    • I use High quality DVDs - only Verbatim (Never ever Memorex or alike)
    • I use DVD-R
    • I set down burn speed in iDVD/Preferences/Advance to x4 - as these DVDs plays so much better on many more devices.
    • I secure a minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up Hard disk - No other hard disk can be addressed to keep this space for iDVD and Mac OS temp.files
    If You need better than SD-DVD quality then You need to look into
    • Blu-Ray (Roxio Toast™ 11 Pro incl BD-component, BD-burner, BD-disks AND Blu-Ray Player)
    • Save the pictures as they are eg .jpg in a folder and on a DVD and play them via a PC/Mac and a SlideShow program as iPhoto, PowerPoint etc.
    Good Luck !

  • Exporting Low resolution 320 X 240 videos for my website

    I am mystified by Premiere Elements 11. I want to create a 2..5 min video (e.g. mp4)  that is 320 X 240 with bitrate set low enough to keep the file size under 20megs. There is NO options in the pubish drop down to adjust the final dimensions of the video, the bitrate etc. All options regarding these are greyed out (I picked the mpeg format). I can't get a video in ANY format  that conforms to the desired dimensions and size;    I have no good options to adjust the quality of the video to make it good enough for the website and not gigantic. I have used Ctberlink PowerDirector 11 recently and those options are readily available in that application.
    Most of my videos are going to be for the web. The way premiere elements 11 works now, it's going ot be useless for my purpose.
    Am I missing some way to accomplish my objective, or is the program pretty limited in the ability to customize the outputted video?
    Thanks. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
    Chick

    As I show you in my books, it's easy to output custom videos for your web site. You say want an MP4?
    Go to Publish & Share/Computer/AVCHD. Select the the Preset for Vimeo SD.
    Then click the Advanced button. On the Export Settings screen that opens, go to the Video tab. Set the output size to 320x240, then click OK.
    You'll be prompted to save this as a "permanent" preset so you can use it again. Type in a name like "Web site video" and you're done.

  • Low resolution images over dialup

    For some strange reason, Safari seems to render images at a lower resolution when I'm connected to the Internet over dialup (Bluetooth dialup in my case, haven't tried regular dialup), no matter what my Display preferences are set to.
    I've seen a couple prior posts asking similar questions, but no definite resolution. One person mentioned the "Total Access" features and a web accelerator perhaps being the cause, but I can't find anything like that either in the Safari or System preferences.
    Help?

    This is normal
    An image requires a picture of twice the resolution to display properly on a Retina display, if not available it will double up the pixels or just stretch out to fill the space it should fill. Most websites were created before high resolution displays became popular and many either haven't bothered or just do not feel enough visitors use such displays to make updating their images worthwhile
    When a non-Retina user loads a page with such images they still have to download the full size image, which could be another reason
    As for program icons it will just be that the program is old

  • Best way to create a background image for all resolutions without drastically increasing file size.

    I see a lot of great background images with complex designs that resize with different screen resolutions. I can create the designs, but I don't know how to create a complex image for large screen resolutions without making it a large file, or it loosing quality with it stretches to the larger size. Is there a code that resizes images when stretched, or do I just have to live with a slower load speed with complex background images?

    The background doesn't resize, it shrinks:
    http://johnpatrickgiven.com/jquery/background-resize/
    Basically make a 1920x1080 or higher resolution file and use that script.  There will always be a maximum but based on your response that is not your monitor.  Photoshop and other tools do a pretty good job compressing jpeg files and most internet connections are fast enough to make it seamless.

  • Crashing Snow Leopard going back directly to Welcome screen without warning

    Dear all,
    it´s now the third time that I do experience a weird crash. I had quite a few programmes opene, so it wasn´t clear which one caused the error. This time I think the last thing I did was moving spaces to another area and clicking on an image opened in "imageJ". Without warning, suddenly the computer screen went blue, then there is the welcome screen after a few seconds. No trace of my user still in operation or having been recently in operation, all programmes obviously shut down, I have to re-log on to my user and reopen all the programmes and files. It is surely not a sudden power failure because it happened on a fully charged MacBook pro battery connected to power, the chap working next to me had no problems!...

    Several of these strange error messages I kind of get quite frequently, also, A.Photoshop CS5 crashes at present sometimes on its own, but Adobe said they were working on an update, which I had now downloaded (still crashed once thereafter).
    Any ideas?
    thanks, HG

    Apparently, a hosed CS5 installation. Its manager is crashing causing a windowserver crash. Uninstall it, using the uninstaller that came with it (that's a WAG), download and install the 10.6.4 COMBO update, repair permissions, and restart. If everything else works without crashing, then reinstall CS5. BTW, update your My Settings file, since your current one's showing 10.5.2, which has nothing to do with SL.

  • Low resolution warning with 8Mpixel image?

    I've finished a new large size hardcover book, and some of the full page size (landscape) images with have 8 megapixel raw files as sources have low resolution warnings - some, but not all of them. Some of the photos have been edited in photoshop, and none of these have warnings. With the unedited pics, some have warnings, some don't - there doesn't seem to be any specific reason why some of the files have warnings. I haven't tried to actually buy the book, so I don't know what will happen with ordering. But it seems 8 megapixels should be fine for a large book landscape page.

    Limnidytis:
    What size book and theme are you using? I'm not familiar with the RAW files but remember reading about there's a couple of files that get uploaded, the raw file and a jpg for viewing - something like that. Check and make sure it's the RAW file that's in the book and not the jpg file for viewing. Click on one of the files in the book and type Command-I to bring up the Info window for it. There you'll see the image size size in pixels and file size in KB or MB. As I said I'm not familiar with those files so may be way off on this.
    As far as resolution is concerned it’s the overall pixel dimensions of the file that are important. For example a 3512 x 2338 pixel file will have a resolution of about 585 dpi for a 4 x 6 print. If you expand that to an 8 x 12 print (so we don’t have to crop) the resolution will drop to about 292.
    A 3512 x 2338 file will give approximately a resolution of 275 if printed at an 8.5 x 11 size or approximately a full page photo in a large book. 275 is sufficient for that size print.
    iPhoto will often report the dpi at 72 but the size it’s looking at may be somewhere around 48 inches for the larger side. This can be seen if you have an editor like Photoshop Elements where you can go in and change the dpi and pixels on a side and see how the size in inches changes.

  • Warning: iOS 8 Resized My Images When Exporting Via Image Capture

    I have an iPad Air and I take lots of pictures. I installed iOS 8 last night. I don't like the lack of a Photo Stream and a Camera Roll, but I am willing to try new things, so I decided to clear out all the images from my iPad and start from scratch. Unfortunately, I've run into a pretty bad reproducible bug.
    First I copied all the Moments (i.e. Camera Roll) Photos on the iPad to my Mac using the Image Capture app. I've been doing this for years. Everything came out fine with those photos.
    I also had several iCloud shared albums so I decided to start over with them as well. Hmm, how to copy them over to my Mac? I tapped one picture and tapped "Share -> Save Image". OK that worked! So to save some time I tapped "Select" and then tapped all the pictures in the folder. Once again I tapped "Share -> Save 20 Images". Worked fine. Deleted the shared album. Did this with five other albums. Now everything is clean and I can start figuring out how this works from scratch.
    OR SO I THOUGHT. Once the pictures were on my Mac, I realized the pictures I exported one at a time were fine, but the ones I exported in groups came out at odd low resolutions - 257 x 342, 256 x 384, 268 x 332, instead of the full resolution of the original pictures.
    Luckily I had copies of all these pictures backed up, but this is not appropriate behavior. There was no warning that the pictures would be saved at a lower resolution. I'm not even sure the Photos app "meant" to do this. Why weren't the full sized images exported? Has anyone else had this experience? Could someone check and see if this is happening on their iPad?

    The photos in this thread are the same exported files that are in the slideshow. As you advance through the slideshow(try looking at the shadows to right of the subject and his sunglasses), you'll see a change in tone/saturation that, however subtle, is quite alarming for a consistent workflow.
    I always work with calibrated display profiles, and was told by Aperture Pro support to try the export with a standard, device independent profile to rule out a display profile related issue. I told them on the phone that while I'd try it, that would not be a viable solution long term for me, or any other professional, as different screens need to have independent, calibrated profiles for a consistent working environment.
    That said, regardless of the display profile(I tried multiple scenarios - including calibrated profiles), the exported file is always the same on the same machines - and as I said before, distinctly unique to each machine. The display profile should have nothing to do with it anyways, as that is simple a translation of the the 'static' data onto a specific screen. I'm not saying the screens look different to me, I'm saying that the exported files are different when viewed together on any one screen.
    These are all fresh installs of the same download; no settings in the software have been changed, except for what I've detailed above. The processing of the color/export should be the same from the same file in the same library with the same adjustments and the same software settings, but it's not.
    Can anyone try this same test in another environment? Or does anyone know how Aperture might leverage hardware perhaps in it's processing of color?

  • I'm trying to do a book using iphoto 11 (9.4.2), but i don't get a low resolution warning. Why? and how can i get the warning., i'm trying to do a book using iphoto 11 (9.4.2), but i don't get a low resolution warning. Why? and how can i get the warning.

    I'm trying to do a book using Iphoto, but it no longer gives a low resolution warning like it used to in the older versions.
    I don't know why it doesn't anymore, (or maybe I have to add it on somehow??) but it makes it difficult to know how much I can
    zoom in on a picture and still have it be good printable resolution.
    Does anyone know how to resolve this or add the warning to the latest version of iphoto?
    Thanks

    With iPhoto 9 the low resolution for photos warning has been dropped. The only warning one will get now is for text that has overflowed the text box:
    As Larry suggested send a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html to get it back. That's a big omission in my opinion.
    You can determine what your minimum resolution is for your images (if all taken from the same camera) by dividing the pixel dimensions by the size of the larges frame in the book which would be 8.5 x 11. If it's at or above 150 dpi you'll be above Apple's previous resolution warning limit.

  • Why does low resolution warning show when I used a high resolution camera

    Hi,
    I am just learning about iphoto, and have been uploading photos I took with a 4 mega-pixel camera. I have printed out photos at Kodak printers directly from the camera, and they came out great. However, when I upload the photos to the Mac, then burn them to a CD, and try to print them they come out blurry and have the low resolution warning. Does anyone know why that is happening? Is there a setting that decides the photo quality when pictures are uploaded?
    Are the photos I have now "doomed" to be at low resolution?
    Thanks

    The "share" function actually places a mini-library on the CD so that it can be loaded into another Mac that has iPhoto. Just like in your library, the CD will contain, for each photo, the original "out of the camera" version AND the most recently modified version AND a thumbnail for viewing within iPhoto. Apparently the thumbnail was the one that was inadvertently selected for printing and, of course, the resolution is minimal.
    If you want to burn a CD for use on a PC or to give to your favorite photo-finisher, create a folder on the desktop and "File/Export" the contents of the album to that folder. Then, EXIT iPhoto and burn the CD with the contents of the desktop folder. After checking the CD and confirming that all is OK, you can trash that folder.

Maybe you are looking for
