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.

Upgraded to iOS4 on my iPhone 3GS and now iPhoto images are blurred...WHY?

I've just upgraded to iOS4 on my iPhone 3GS and the iPhoto images are blurred? WHY?
They were fine before...so now my screen saver is blurred and looks low res...all my images are crap quality...what is going on Apple?
Checked the photos on my laptop and they are crystal clear...anyone else have the same problem?
I wish I'd stuck with the old software now.

I also had the same issue. I upgraded my iPhone 3Gs to the new software about a week ago. Yesterday the photos on my phone were blurry. I "googled" the issue and ended up here. Synced my phone and now all is well! thanks for the help.

HP LaserJet 200 color M251nw prints, but images are blurred.

Laserjet200 (HP LaserJet 200 color M251nw) prints, but images are blurred; sometimes the entire page and other times just the right half. Staples tech said the drum could be bad. Can this be corrected? Using W7 ultimate OS.

Hi @jimmanning ,
I see by your post that the images are blurred. I would like to help you.
Run a calibration on the printer.
On the printer touch the wrench, system setup, print quality, color calibration calibrate now.
Print a Diagnostics Page to see if you have the same results. Trying to determine if it is a hardware or software issue.
Go to Setup, Reports, arrow down and select Diagnostics Report.
I have provided a document with more steps for running a cleaning and checking print driver settings.
Troubleshooting Print Quality Issues.
Remove the toner and check to see if there is any toner on drum.
Make sure the paper type is selected to the media that you are using, not the default setting unspecified.
Please provide the following information so I can assist you better.
What were the results of Diagnostics Page and Print Quality Page?
Are you using Genuine HP Toner?
What are the Ink levels?
Was there any damage on the toners?
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

When I try to print to a PDF from any program images are blurred

I try to print to PDF using word, or any other program. The resulting PDF is clear for text and all but the images are blurred.
Could There be a reason for this and how do I fix it? I am using the print preset when printing.
Thanks,
Mark

Brett N
You're right, if a workaround works it's good. I don't use pdf's much either, usually just to send images if the receiver is on a PC as I work on a Mac. I had to send an image to a printer for a brochure so I tried to send a press quality pdf. I ended up sending a tif. I tried the Adobe posting to see someone had experience with this problem before calling my computer technician-at a cost. Your comment about fonts and locations prompted me to check files and read the window details more carefully, not just click continue.
So thanks, you really were very helpful. Robert

Images are blurred in Library module

I am having some new issues when viewing images in the Library module. I have been using LR for quite sometime and this is the first time. I saw a thread somewhere here that maybe this might be a bug. Is that correct. Let me walk you through some of the chronological process.
1-I was viewing RAW images in the Library module and noticed the images were trying to stay in focus. Then since that time the images have been rather soft, blurred.
2-I Optimized the Catalog, and changed the "preview settings". But it didn't not make any improvement.
3- I viewed the same images using Image Browser just for a comparison, and I was amazed how sharp the images were compared to LR. Keep in mind that I have never experienced this shooting RAW. I am aware that RAW images have imbedded JPG Preview images, but this is not the case
4- I am not editing, or making any changes, so need to suggest to view the images in the Develop module. All I'm doing at this time is to select my best shots.
5- However, I noticed something interesting. The images that are displayed blurred, were shot with my G9 camera. But if I view other RAW images shots with my 40D, and even my old D60 they are not blurred at all.
I am wondering if this anomaly has any connection between the G9 and LR? I'm very frustrated since I have deleted some images based of how they were displayed,but now I'm wondering if they were good shots and they were displayed blurred.
Any suggestion

There's nothing wrong with posting a question to multiple forums. I was trying to show that at the Canon forum you stated LR was initially working properly, and sometime later the same images appeared blurry. This is an indication that something changed in your system, not an issue with LR’s capabilities:
-Corrupted LR preferences file
-LR application, corrupted
-System Virus
-Low hard drive space
-Failing hard drive
-System memory issues (insufficient memory, failing memory)
-Camera problem (not likely)
The problems logging into the Adobe LR forum is another indication that you may have one or more of the above system issues.
There is an issue concerning LR not applying sharpening and noise reduction to images in the Library module, except at very high ISO settings:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/889490?tstart=120
I doubt this is the "blurring" you describe in the Library module, since your 40D and older 60D camera images are not blurred. You would also be able to see 'Sharpening' and 'Noise Reduction' applied in the Develop module at 'Fit' image view size. You stated that you see no difference.
As you can see there are numerous things that could be causing your problem. I suggest trying the suggestions I provided in my last reply as a good starting point to finding and "fixing" the source of the problem.

Adobe Reader screen images are fuzzy or out of focus

The screen images in an Adobe Reader document are fuzzy or out of focus. How can I sharpen them?

Thanks:
The Fonts & Colours option worked wonderfully for me and now my pages are displaying the colour and images I expected to see. So very simple in the end. Is it related to the current upgrad? At least I will not have to trouble with attempting to revert to an earlier version.

Help! Internet images are blurring

Brand new ibook and everything is fine except on the internet. All photos are blurring, boxy, on both explore and safari. I have checked system prefs display and made sure it was on the max pixels. thanx
tammy

I am especially disappointed by the blurry text in GIF-images. Even the menu in Apples own home-page look a little blurry. I wonder if it is some kind of anti-aliasing, and if so, whether it can be turned off. The font-smoothing options in the appearance preferance pane doesn't do anything for text contained within GIF-images, I think.

Beginner - Why my images are blurred?

I've just got started on InDesign CS6 and I'm having a problem with the images I place in the document.
All images are not sharp, although the original is.
I'm not stretching the images. Even if I let them in the original size, they lose resolution.
Most of them are JPEG images. Is that the problem?
Thanks in advance.
This is not the original image, but it illustrates what I'm talking about:
This image:
looks like this in InDesign CS6.

Thanks, Salah Fadlabi!
I tried your tip and it worked very fine.
Thank you very much.

In Elements 12 Organizer, View Full Screen images are not loading. Have already tried disc cleanup.

It was working a couple of days ago, now when I select several images to view full screen, the page comes up, but the images don't. I have a PC, and have already tried doing a disc cleanup and defragmentation.

I’ve found a work-round.
This is embarrassing (for Adobe), as the work-round is to set the CPU affinity to single cpu mode. With that PSE 10 has been running in slide show mode for 3 hours now. Looking good!
On a temporary basis, from the task manager, show the ‘processes’ tab, right click on the PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe *32 process, choose ‘Set Affinity …’ unselect ‘All’ and select (check) any one CPU. (Under W7 32 bit I guess you won’t get the *32)
For a more permanent fix, using the start command with the affinity option is needed. This is not compatible with the PSE 10 launcher though, if you use the launcher you will need to set the affinity as shown above.
To use the start command, from a command prompt type start /? for the syntax..
Try a google search of “how to set the processor affinity” for further advice.
Now, should Adobe be reading this thread I have some advice for them:
“It is NOT POSSIBLE to conduct a reliability test of a program using a virtualized environment”.
I made the error of assuming that after the PSE 6 fiasco in a multi-cpu environment Adobe would not make the same mistake again. Well, they have. Perhaps this time they will conduct a root cause analysis of what they are doing wrong with their test plans and FIX IT, because I object to doing their testing for them, again.

Images are not clear in pdf output

Hi,
Images are blurred once a pdf file is generated. Don't understand why. Please let me know a solution to get pictures with better clarity after generating a pdf .

Please advice how to get images with good clarity and visibility.
Thanks

Photos downloaded to iPad are blurred in 'slideshow'

I've downloaded 50 images into an album on my iPad, but when I click on the 'slideshow' feature the first image is as sharp as it should be, but thereafter the remaining images are blurred can anyone tell me why this is please? This ONLY happens when I use the slideshow feature - i.e. if I tap on each photo individually it is sharp.

Hi makey,
If you are having issues with your photos in the slideshow being blurred (aside from the first one), you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
First, quit all running applications and test again -
iOS: Force an app to close
Next, I would try restarting the iPhone -
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

My screen image is off center

My screen image are slighly off the monitor and I can't find how to re-postion it. I just started with windows 7. What should I do?

The images position can be adjusted by using the buttons in lth lower right hand corner of the monitor itself.

Images appear in reverse on iMovie '08 video screen.

How do I reverse the video images appearing on the iMovie preview screen?
When using my iSight camera to import video directly into iMovie '08, objects appear in reverse. i.e. When I wave my right hand in front of the camera, it appears on the left side of the screen.
When I'm not using iMovie, the images appear correctly on the iSight Screen.

Nope: optical illusion!
When you use your iSight camera with, for example, iChat or PhotoBooth, the images are reversed, so that you look the same to yourself as you do when you look in a mirror.
"..When I wave my right hand in front of the camera, it appears on the left side of the screen.." ..yes; that's how you look to other people in everyday life! ..When you look in a mirror and wave your right hand ..look carefully: your mirror image is waving his left hand!
When you look at your image as shot by your iSight, you'll see that if you shot yourself waving your right hand then it really is your right hand which is waving at you in iMovie!
The Apple people purposely switched the image in iChat AV (..and maybe other iSight applications..) so that you would look - to yourself - as you do when you look in a mirror, because that image looks familiar to you. (The image which is shown on someone else's screen when you're using iChat AV, however, shows you the correct way round, and not as reversed and seen in a mirror.)
So you're seeing yourself the correct way round in iMovie .,as everyone else sees you ..a bit unnerving at first!
