Improving bitmap quality

Hi,
I am developing a website you can see here :
http://www.italiaconsulting.eu/showcase/gustar/
You will see that the head banner showing a picture with
scanlines and the red background of the main menu containing also
scanlines, has a bad quality. Some scalines are emphasized.
It appears as well with firefow as IE.
When I test it directly by launching it under Flash CS3
without browser, it is ok.
Formerly, with as 2.0, there was the "_quality" keyword which
fixed such quality problems.
But know, under AS 3.0, is there any way to fix that quality
issue, to improve it?
Thanks forn your help
In the library, I used no compression for the image.

It may be that I'm not seeing the poor quality you're
seeing. You
mentioned, in the original post, that the image had
scanlines. I see
vertical stripes in the top image that might be artefacts or
might be a
design choice. That sort of thing can happen if the imported
image is not
being displayed at actual size. But you say they are, and I
believe you, so
maybe you're seeing something else. The image doesn't look
poor quality to
me.

You can still modify them in Fireworks; that hasen't
changed. The
import gives you more control over what layers you'd like to
show in Flash,
but the original Fireworks PNG is still fully open to your
revisions.

How to improve image quality

I've been using Motion for a couple of years now and although I'm no expert, I'm really pleased with the possibilities. I mainly use it to create animations that are then watched on a computer - either on a CD or on the web. I've also done a few animations that were later exported to a DVD. I must say, the quality of the image on a TV is terrible. It really looks like an amateur animation. I was just wondering if there was a way to improve the quality of the animation shown on a TV screen. Is it just a question of settings, compression or codec?

The color space on a TV is completely different, and much, much more restrictive, than that of a computer monitor. If you work is destined for NTSC or PAL TV, you really should use a calibrated monitor to view your project as it will be seen so you can make the right choices of color, title and action safe, and watch for interlace issues. You need to make sure your luma and chroma levels are broadcast safe as well.
Under the File menu is the new Share feature for exporting movies to different devices (in Motion 4, FCP 7)

Improved sound quality in 4.2.1 - My imagination?

I play music from my iPod through a lead from the headphone socket into my car stereo's Aux input, also a 3.5mm headphone socket. Since I installed 4.2.1, the sound quality seems to have improved significantly; in fact, it's fabulous!
I saw in the 4.2.1 release note that it included improved audio quality via USB for car stereos, but I wondered if any gurus out there might be able to explain the difference I'm hearing: is it a result of that improvement? I'm also wondering how they effected the improvement via USB, since as far as I understand it (which isn't that far, obviously) in those cases the iPod simply passes the digital file for playback through the car stereo DAC. Is there some kind of decode, re-encode for USB process going on?
Any light anyone can shed would be gratefully received!

Did yo do this:
Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
- Next try the manual install method of:
iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
- Then try on another computer

Will apple universal dock improve sound quality?

I use RCA plugs to hook up my ipod touch to my home stereo. Will adding an apple universal dock improve sound quality?

I've a 5th generation iPod 80 GB, the Composite AV cable, a Universal Dock, an Apple Remote, as well as a traditional headphone-jack-to-stereo-RCA cable I got from Radio Shack.
When I connect the Composite cable directly to the iPod, and then from there to my TV (no dock), videos play on the TV (with sound) and the iPod screen stays blank (as expected, since it re-directed the video to the TV).
When I connect the Composite cable to the dock first, then dock the iPod, I get USB power to the iPod, but the iPod does NOT see the TV - when I try to play video, the video displays on the iPod's screen instead. Also no sound. The Apple Remote works fine, however.
When I remove the Composite cable, connect the headphone-to-stereo-RCA to the 'line-out' part of the dock, connect that to a stereo, and dock the iPod I get sound, but of course no video. My Apple Remote still works as well of course. An interesting side note is that despite being labeled 'line out', I need to crank the volume to max for the sound to work correctly (a 'line out' should not be affected by the volume setting).
So... the problem appears to be the Dock. I'm gonna take my set-up down to an Apple store and see what they can do for me.

Is Apple going to manufacture IPAD with improved sound quality?

Is Apple going to manufacture IPAD with improved sound quality? I don't like to stream movies on IPAD due poor sound quality.

We have no way of knowing Apple's future plans. Speakers or headphones make a huge difference, maybe you can give either of them a try.

How can i improve burning quality of dvd.looks fine in preview on idvd,but final burn quality is poor/

how can i improve burning quality of dvd.looks fine in preview on idvd,but final burn quality is poor.

Had same problem with iPhoto pictures and poor burn quality. Went back to original picture file and dragged images into idvd project from there. Set encoding at professional quality and burned at slowest speed. Got very good result with high quality slideshow when played on TV.
Also tried Old Toad's Aug 30, 2011 advice to get a slideshow into iDVD with transitions, music, etc. from iPhoto.
Again the quaility of the burned CD was very good.

How to improve th quality of photos in iphone 4s

How can i improve the quality of the photos clicked by iphone-4s???

Hi there,
Good focus and good lighting will help you to take good quality photos. (Hold your camera still, and possibly use flash?) Also, there are great photo editing apps out at the moment, for example Instagram which can increase the quality of your photos by applying filters and effects to your photos, enhancing the look of them.
Hope this helps,

Does Encoding AAC Files with VBR on Improve Audio Quality ?

Does Encoding AAC Files with VBR on Improve Audio Quality ?
Are there Disadvantages ?
Bonus Question 1:
Usually, an 'auto' type encoding tool will screw up the natural flow of the music and miss subtle changes in the energy, volume, etc.. -stuff that is just to subtle for it to catch -Generally I wouldn't trust an 'auto' type setting to pick up this subtle stuff. Yet people say using VBR improves sound quality (and NOT file size). Why and how ?
Bonus Question 2:
What is the max bit rate VBR uses ? If I set my AAC encoder to 320 kbps and turned VBR off, wouldn't the sound quality be superior to encoding with VBR on (simply because the kbps are set at 320 the whole time...) ? Sure, the files encoded with VBR off would be larger, but wouldn't the quality be better ?
Bonus Question 3:
Lastly, I did a little test and encoded one song with VBR off and one with VBR on. The VBR song was 1.5 MBs bigger - Huh, I thought, is that increased file size the result of improved resolution throughout the whole song, or just one little section (haven't had time to listen to them)?

These are some pretty tough questions. I like VBR encoding in general, as it does allow for more complex passages to take advantage of higher bit rates while less complex passages fall back to a lower bit rate, while keeping within fairly consistent file size parameters. Whether VBR yields better results at different target/average bit rates is another matter, and really requires that you encode and properly test output files before deciding on anything but "recommended" settings.
At maximum lossy bit rates of 320 kbps, it doesn't make sense to use VBR. If I recall, the LAME MP3 encoder presets actually preclude VBR encoding for the highest quality files, and the same may be true for iTunes AAC.
I have to admit that to speak with any certainty or confidence about the issues surrounding your various questions, one would really need to encode a bunch of files with iTunes from lossless sources and test them in software such as foobar2000. I could investigate this easily on my own PC, but I don't encode music at 320 kbps AAC, since I have enough disk space to just listen to lossless files. iTunes doesn't display dynamic bit rate changes as foobar2000 does, and I haven't come across any Mac software that does as good a job of allowing for proper testing as foobar2000 for Windows does.
If you really need definitive answers to these three questions, then I think your best bet would be to do as I've hinted and use iTunes and foobar2000 if you've got access to a Windows computer to do this testing and evaluation for yourself, or sign up for a user account at Hydrogenaudio and post the same message there.

How can in improve the quality or bit rate of my iTunes library.

I need to improve the quality of my original iTunes library. How do I increase the bit rate in iTunes for the library I have downloaded or can I improve what I have or will download.

iTunes purchases are at 256k in AAC format. If you want better than that you'll need to purchase elsewhere. You can rerip your CDs at your preferred bitrate. If you have some older itunes purchases these could be in 128k protected AAC format. Every now and again the iTunes Store offers links to upgrade such tracks to the current format for a smaller fee than purchasing new copies.

Can improve picture quality in Dvd Pro?

I just made my first DVD in DVD Pro! Just a simple DVD with first track start.
I am disappointed about the quality.
I took it from 2k clips, assembled them in FCP, exported to Compressor, choose (MPEG 2) best quality max 90 min (Footage is only 2 min) and burned it. I am a bit ashamed to give away so soft images.....I was told, a dvd con only hold SD and not HD.
Is there any way to improve the quality?
I shot it on 4k. But most dvds I have seen have a better quality.
Dorian

no, I have not looked at a TV. Don't even have one... haha.
Only monitors. But I see all other dvds on my computer monitor.
Well, of course, it is downgraded to 720x480. But is there a way to tweak the quality a little bit? I used already 2 passes setting, all others are default settings in Compressor.

Exporting a video and improving the quality

I'm trying to export a video from adobe premiere CS5 but it doesn't begin it remains 0!! but yesterday i did that many times and it succeeded.
Also I just want to know how to improve the quality? since it becomes poor something after editing!!

Sorry, one more question. Once the videos filmed with the nano are imported into itunes can they be burned to dvd?

Shift + R improves the quality of this image

Does anybody know how to get rid of ' shift + r improves the quality of this image', this is affecting most of the images i look at. It never used to be an issue??
Thanks

Hi
that is exactly what you see with some usb modem connections - the 'Modify Headers' add-on should sort Firefox out (at the expense of slower loading & more data usage).
a safari solution is mentioned here, but it's a bit old, with no documentation I can see. I'd hope there to be an extension by now which will deal with it - try https://extensions.apple.com/en-us/ or even the isp's pages may have a way to disable it.

Improving Photo Quality

I have imported a photo which is 227 pixels wide by 321 pixels high. Apparently the quality of this image is too poor to have the photo made into a 4 x 6 print. Is there any way to improve the quality of this image in I Photo 09?
Thank you,
C.D.

Like TD said. Apple gives a low resolution warning when you are below 600 x 900 pixels for a 4x6 print:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1135
This works out to 150 pixels per inch (ppi). (This is a minimum resolution, a decent resolution is 220 ppi, and the rule of thumb is 300 ppi.) Your image would print at 321/6 -> 54 ppi, so you are way off the mark as TD said.
You can use something like PhotoShop Elements to resize the image to something like 600 x 900, but it cannot make detail appear out of nowhere, so the result will not look very sharp, it will appear pixellated.
It might be better to split the difference and use an image processing program to double the image to 454 x 642, and then print it at 3 inches by 4.3 inches leaving quite a bit of white border on the 4 x 6 print.
Of course, only you can decide what is acceptable or not. My MIL is very proud of prints she makes at the lowest size and quality setting on her camera (with lots of pixellation and jpeg artifacts), which I would never dream of showing to anybody else, unless it was a real photo of Bigfoot or something. 8^)

Is it possible to improve the quality of an MP3 file by converting to aiff?

itunes 11.0.4 (4)
I am contemplating the costs/benefits of purchasing digital downloads of mp3/mp4 files instead of purchasing actual cds. I am aware that the MP files are compressed and are thus lower quality. I have already purachased some digital music, from Amazon, and am now burning cds. While creating playlists and burning, I noticed the option 'convert to aiff'. I did this with one album. I now have doubles of each track of that album, the original mp3 and the converted aiff. The aiff file size of one song, for example, is 71MB compared to 12MB for the mp3 version.
Did my aiff conversion do anything to improve the quality of my mp3 files? If so, to what extent? E.g., how close is the quality to that of a cd? The added file size of the aiff must represent some difference. I am asking because I am skeptical that my converting an mp3 using itunes could improve the quality of that with which I began...i.e., the mp3 file. Is this conversion effectively 'uncompressing' the mp3?
If an aiff conversion increases quality, I see no reason to worry about mp3 compression. It would make sense, economically, to purcahse mp3s and then convert to aiff, saving time, money, and transportation costs.
Finally, is there anyway to convert to aiff just for the purpose of creating one playlist and then burning so that I do not have to maintain double files in my library? Thanks for answers.

All you accomplished by converting the file to AIFF was to make the file much larger. As AnaMusic said, there's no way to put back the information that was lost during the process of compressing to MP3. If you want CD quality, you'll either need to buy the CDs and import them yourself or see if the album is available through one of the download stores that sell music in CD quality or better, such as iTrax, HDTracks or eClassical. They've only been able to license a small subset of what's available, but you might be fortunate.
Regards.

How is it possible to improve iMovie quality in black areas?

The movie looks fine in preview, but there are a lot of compression artifacts in dark areas when exporting it (720p)

I was putting together different videos already recorded so I couldn't improve the quality of the sources... Manual export with setting bitrate to 5mbs helped a little, even though the output video is still not as good as the preview video. I guess that's the best iMovie can do for now...
