Images pixelated/distorted in ADE

I just downloaded ADE, and everything seems to be working, except that the images are all distorted. You can actually see part of the images below the distortion, but the distortion consists of what appear to be pixelated, thick horizontal lines of varying colors that block out major portions of the image and make them unusable.
Has anyone else encountered this issue? If so, was anyone able to successfully resolve it?
Thanks.
Just realized that I can insert images, so here's an example:

TIFF is the preferred raster format.
EPS should be OK with a postscript printer (e.g. PDF), but PM's preview is poor.
PM7 will accept AI, but only up to Ver 8
John Davies, "3.11 - Importing Adobe Illustrator Files (*.AI) and how they differ from *.EPS" #1, 7 Dec 2003 7:46 am
Remember PM is archaic. Your client should be using InDesign by now.

I downloaded a vector file from Shutterstock. How do I edit the text in Photoshop? If i enlarge the image- the pixels are awful and the image is distorted.

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)

Enlarging HD image without distortion

What's the largest increase one can make on an HD video image without distortion in FCP?
And are there any plug-ins, filters, or programs that would allow further enlargement without distortion?
Thanks!

Pixels are Pixels, you enlarge them thus lowering your real resolution no matter how you do it. You have to do what 24, 30 may 60 frames for each second I think not. But some people have done it.

Pixel Distortion - HELP!!

I have a problem in certain pictures with pixels distorting in LR. Its not a preview problem because the distortion comes along if I export the file. Here are two sample side-by-side screen grabs:
http://clarkcreative.ca/l-psd_r-LR.png
http://clarkcreative.ca/l-psd_r-LR_2.png
Left side - Photoshop, Right side - Lightroom. (opened in PSD via lightroom edit command)
200% crops. Its a jpg capture. There are no adjustments/presets applied to either. I have tried to re-import renamed/tiff but I get the same results. Can someone tell me why this is happening?

An Intel Pentium 4.
I also noticed that those strange pixels remain uneffected when you do crazy things with the exposure, contrast, brightness, recovery, etc, even though the rest of the image gets altered. It's like they are holes in the images. It's definately a bug.
Good luck. I'll keep shooting RAW so I won't have that problem (Nikon D70s).

In Edit mode the image gets distorted as if a graphics card error...

When I enter edit mode, many times the image gets distorted and is unrecognizable. The image is covered in red or green lines like when a driver or graphic card is having problems. I can view the image if I use the shift key or exit edit mode.
Have the latest version of both OS and iPhoto. Am considering a complete reinstall of the OS and Software but would like to avoid if possible.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Well you can avoid the hassle of re-installing because it won't help. This is a bug that affects some users of 10.6 and iPhoto, Aperture and/or Preview. Currently there is no solution.
iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback
and let them know that you too have the issue.

Images pixelated in Aperture, not iPhoto?

I have been importing all my images to Aperture from an external drive, and all is going well. My problems is some of my images are pixelated when viewing them in Aperture. When I open iPhoto though and view my Aperture library in iPhoto the images look normal. I have not imported them to iPhoto, I am just curious what is going on here? I am an Aperture beginner so I am lost as to why this is happening? Hope that make sense. It is kind of hard to explain what is happening.
Thanks for any help in advance,
Christopher

Re: Images pixelated in Aperture, not iPhoto.
I am having a similar problem but instead of iPhoto, its Bridge. The same exact photo that I opened in
Aperture at 100% is quite pixelated yet when opened in Bridge, it is not. I am using Aperture 3.2.2, on a
MacPro 2x3 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon w/ 9GB Ram, running 10.6.8. I thought it might have something to
do with the graphics card. I have the ATI Radeon X1900 XT. When I copied the same raw file to my 13" Mac
BookPro with a NVIDI GeForce 9400M Graphics card, the photo looked fine in Aperture. Since Aperture is so graphics card intensive, is it possible that it needs a better graphics card? If so, is there a better one I could install in my MacPro?
Thanks for any help.

How to best arc image without distortion to fit curved cup template?

I have tried searching forum for this and I know it has been discussed before but not really finding what I need to do correctly. I have attached the layered image (reducing opacity so you can both template and image). The vendor provided me a flat template, not a path, to do my artwork. As you can see I need to arc the image without distorting to fit a cup template. I am more comfortable in photoshop but I can export to AI if necessary to complete which appears what I need to do via envelope distort from what I keep seeing. However, the template provided is not a path. I tried to trace template shape manually with pen tool and use envelope distort to arc my image to conform but it looked very distorted and no even close to what I was trying to achieve. I tried to do tradition arc warp in photoshop but it still seems to distort proportions. Steps on how best to do this would be much appreciated! I know there must be a easier/more efficient way to achieve this.

I would not trace the template and will simply use it as a visual reference for deforming (conforming) the image to it. You can make the template image transparent to certain degree using the Transparency panel so you can see through it then move its layer on top of all other layers and lock it. Scale and position your image in such way that at least two of its corners fit two corners of the template for example the two top corners and then its bottom edge is on the same level as the template.Then select the image to be deformed and in the control panel at the top of your screen click the Embed button which allows you to deform the image (edit: just noticed you wrote it is already embedded, so skip this).
Choose Object > Envelope Distort > Make it with a Mesh. and chose 1 for rows and columns. Make sure the Smart Guides are on (View > Smart Guides). With the Selection tool (white arrow) Shift click or drag a selection box to select the two points of one of the vertical sides of your image. Pick the Sheer Tool and first just click on the selected top corner point to set the reference point of the sheer then click and drag the corresponding bottom point to match it to the corresponding point of your template. You may hold Shift while dragging to constrain although the Smart Guides will do that by snapping to edge of the envelope if your mouse is close to it. Repeat this for the other side of image. To make the image curved, pick the Selection tool (white arrow) click a corner point which will display its handles, pick a handle that is on a horizontal side of the image and pull it up to deform the shape referring to the template. You may do this first roughly with all horizontal handles and then you can drag guides from the ruler when a handle is selected to snap a guide to it and use it to put the corresponding handle on the opposite side on the same level.
Once you have deformed the image to conform to the template, you can fine tune the distribution of the vertical deformation with the vertical handles of the corner points. You can grab a handle and drag it along the vertical paths of the envelope (the Smart guides will snap to it). Drag the vertical handles on one each side lower until you like the distribution of the deformation.
Try to follow my instructions and I'll clarify if you are stuck.

My Image is Distorted in FCP

When I apply the rotate motion on my image it distorts it (while rotating) putting lines in it.
Why is that?
I am working on a project where I took a photo and green screened it while putting a movie clip in the background and as I introduce the photo I put motion on it to 360x2 and only during the spin it seems to distort my image?
Help!

Hi
How do You judge the quality ?

What Is The Best Image Pixel Dimensions For iPad 2 Photographs?

I just purchased an iPad 2 64Gb. I want to add photographs to my iPad. I want the photographs to completely fill the screen but still be small enough to use the minimum amount of memory space. A smaller image size will also make them more responsive when navigating between images.
Does anyone know the image pixel dimensions that I should use to have the photographs completely fill the iPad screen? I am assuming a resolution of 72 pixels per inch is sufficient because the screen is essentially a video screen.
Thanks!
Bill

Cs5 - images have weird grid-like/pixelation distortion i cant get rid of! help!

i've just downloaded the trial of photoshop cs5 (it took ages mind you!) and when i go to open (or create) a file that is larger (eg 1000x750 pixels) there is this weird grid that distorts the image (it's not the grid you can turn off and on or the grid that shows the actual pixels). when i open a smaller file there is no grid and the image is perfectly clear and normal - but when i zoom out there is a grid. also, when i'm zoomed out (eg 66% but sometimes from even 200%) the distortion happens, whereas if i zoom closer it disappears.
it doesn't distort the image itself, but distorts the colours in parts of the image.
i've experimented enlarging the canvas of a smaller image and placing a larger image into it on a different layer, but then the grid affects not only the larger image but the smaller as well, like it is stretching the colours to the edge of the canvas, or trying to pixelate/fuzz the image. however the grid doesn't affect the whole canvas, just the bits above and to the side of the larger images (mostly).
also when i zoom in/out gradually the squares of the grid enlarge and change size (both bigger and smaller).
so i don't know what the problem is, and any help/suggestions would be much appreciated as i need to use the program for a uni assignment due in a couple of weeks!!
thanks!

Hey- I have the same issue. When I started using cs5 I noticed this grid/distortion right away. At first I thought it was my wacom tablet (I use an Intuos 3) but its not. Its very annoying because I cant put my fingure on why this is happening. Anytime I ask a friend about it who normally knows alot about photoshop they tell me its that grid option thing which I have already turned off. I have included a screen shot of what the issue looks like. Any ideas anyone?

Saving object for web - pixelated & distorted

Trying to save an image for web in Illustrator. It's a "browse" icon that we use for our product. We're recreating the icons to look more "flat" with the outline state as the inactive and the fill state as the active. Here's what I get when I export it for the web as a .png.
**image when it's zoomed in using Preview
**image at it's normal size using preview.
**image after flattening transparency
I've tried to optimize, not optimize, flatten transparency, rasterize -- none of it's worked to make this icon look any better. The only thing that came somewhat close was flatten transparency -- that helped with the pixelation but the boxes all became distorted. Please help!

Image at normal size using preview is the most helpful piece of information. Would be good to knwo your exact pixel dimensions.
Did you use align to pixel grid? Try saving as .gif. This is as good as you can get with such a small size.

How do i resize an image without distorting it?

I used the lasso tool on an image and want to place it on a background image but resize it and make it smaller, however when I do it distorts the image and makes it highly pixelated

Try holding down Shift while resizing; this will constrain proportions.
If you're making it smaller, not much should happen quality-wise. Generally speaking, resizing down is almost always better than resizing up. Did you commit the change (like pressing Enter or clicking the commit/checkmark icon in the Options panel)? It always looks a little pixelated until you commit.

Still images are distorted

Having a frustrating problem... importing still images into FCE 4 and they are being distorted - the image appears to be stretched horizontally. The still images are set up as follows:
Frame Size: 1920 x 1080
Compressor: PNG
Pixel Aspect: HD (1440 x 1080)
Easy Setup:
Format: Apple Intermediate Codec
Use: HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60
Frustrating part is that some of the photos work fine and others do not - despite that they are all set up the same way. Any suggestions?

Tried the square pixel setting, still distorts.
One thing I should mention, it displays fine if I do not add any motion effects. But when I do add a motion effect, the image becomes stretched (and stretching the image is not something I am trying to do). I checked all the settings that I know of and can't find any difference between the photos that work fine and those that do not. However, this is the first video I am creating with FCE 4 so I am suspecting I am overlooking something...
