Incopy CS5 Images printed are pixelated

Is there a way I can print an incopy story in layout view where it doesn't print in low quality? I tried setting the display performance to high quality display and that made no difference in the print out. For something that should seem so easy to figure out, I couldn't find a solution in the incopy online help pdf.

Printing and PDF production in InCopy is limited to less than stellar quality.

When I open thumbnail images in another tab they are pixelated, what's wrong?

When I go on any website with images they are pixelated. Placing the cursor over each image gives the me the option of pressing 'alt' and 'r' to refresh the image or 'alt' and 'a' to refersh the whole page. When I open a thumbnailed picture in a new tab, whether or not I've refreshed the page or the image beforehand, the image is pixelated and I can't refesh it. What's going on?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Sounds like you are using a dial-up connection along with a "web accelerator". If that is the case it is a feature of that web accelerator from your ISP. They speed up page loading by initially supplying lower quality images and giving you the option of loading the original, full resolution image from their cache with those keyboard commands. Other ISP's with a web accelerator feature use Contextual menu items, which are added to Firefox via an extension installed into Firefox.
As far as not having the option to load the full quality image when you open it in a new Tab, I have no idea why that option doesn't appear. You should contact support at your ISP to ask about that issue.

Printed images are pixelating

Images already printed clearly, are pixelating when I copy and then past as layers onto a new canvas.
This is a proceedure I have used many times in the past, and am quite surprised, and lost, about the reasons for it.
Any help on this question?

Hi, Trevor,
The light came on, and the problem corrected...knew it was something simple,and upon reading your response, realized that another adjustment I was using (setting the canvas size to the media size) was creating the problems with the pixels.
Thanks for your quick response.

Pixelated image printing

I'm hoping you can help with a Freehand printing problem I'm
having. I have several hi-resolution images that print beautifully
from Photoshop but when I import them into Freehand they print very
pixelated. I have tried importing the image at the same exact size
without modifying them and they still print pixelated.
Ideally, I would like to take the Photoshop images and import
into Freehand and scale them down to a smaller image and print
them.
I'm using an Epson Photo R2400 printer with enhanced matte
paper. The printer is set to the correct paper. I'm using Freehand
MX11.0.2 and Photoshop CS 8.0. My images are tiff, RGB, about 61
MB, 300 resolution.
I have a Mac 1.6 GHz PowerPC G5 running OS X 10.4.8.

To add to Judy's list... Make sure that you have your Screen
Redraw
(under Preferences) set to maximum when printing. This will
effect your
print out on non-PostScript printers.

Scanned images come out pixelated when printed

When I scan images with my Brother MFC-9120CN, they display in great quality when viewed with Photoshop Elements and other software. However when I print these images that look smooth and sharp on the the screen they come out heavily pixelated. Now these are 1200 dpi scans. The weird thing is that downloaded images, which were scanned at 72 dpi by other people, print without pixelation. I'm at a loss to explain this. Is there anyone out there who's had the same problem? And more importantly, is there a solution? Could it be bug with Snow Leopards core graphics? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Dpi means nothing unless you can also tell us the dimensions you are printing at. You have a fixed number of pixels in an image and their density is dependent on the dimensions you are printing at.
After all it means dots per inch. So, for instance, you cannot print a 3 inch x 2 inch that has density of 72 dpi image at 10 x 8. Why? At 10 x 8 it will no longer be 72 dpi because the same number of pixels is spread over a larger area.
As a rule of thumb - and heavily dependent on the quality of the actual pics - you might get acceptable prints at 200 dpi. But most folks recommend 300.

NEWBIE: Flash photo gallery! Images are pixelated:(

Greetings everyone. I created a Flash photo gallery using
gifs. While most of the images are acceptable visually, a bunch of
them are quite pixelated.
I read online that I am supposed to use vector graphics
whenever possible, but not all images where created as vector
graphics.
I have a few questions:
If I create the image in illustrator, what format should I
save it as to be used in a Flash gallery? If I create the image in
Photoshop what format should I save it as?
Lastly, is it true that Flash will load vector graphics
quicker than gifs?
Any info would be appreciated! Oh yeah, my site is
inthemixgraphics.com

if you create an illustrator file, actually drawing with the
tools rather than just importing a bitmap and exporting it again,
it will indeed give you a vector file you can work with. you can
even export it as images that are readable by flash-- however,
you'll get the best looking stuff if the vector is basically
rewritten in flash. Import a (dot)eps file into flash, and break it
apart. Look at how the objects maintain their shape.
Now publish the thing and look at the bandwidth viewer. Is
the filesize much smaller than if you imported the .jpg? It should
be, but at least there is a way to check it.
I get the most pixalation from images when I'm forced to
scale .png's down by less than a perfect %. Its weird.
If you're loading externally, I'm not entirely sure the
correct process to bring an optimized vector in, as my thoughts are
that it would be the actual size of the .eps image (or .swf if you
can export to that) itself.
--I hope this makes some sort of sense, and if it doesn't
you'll have to forgive me.

Will Blurb correct images that are too light or too dark to print nicely?

I have two calibrated monitors and am submitting a book to Blurb. One monitor is brighter than the other--, that the images look fine on one and too dark on the other. I could changed the brightness, but how do I knwo which is correct for Blurb?what does Blurb see and do they correct images that are all too dark or too light?

Blurb does not correct anything in the uploaded pictures. This is stated clearly on their website; read up under <Color Management>.
It does not matter at all if your image looks fine on the monitor. What matters is if the color numbers of the image are correct. Blurb will print according to the color numbers.
The color numbers of your image will be displayed correctly on the monitor if it is properly calibrated to the industry standard of 6500 K and a gamma 0f 2.2 and if the intensity (brightness) of the monitor is set correctly.
Do this: calibrate both your monitors and set the target value for brightness (intensity) to a value between 100 - 110 cd/m2. This value is considered correct as it will give you prints that match the monitor in brightness.
The best test for checking for how images will look in a blurb book is this: Print the images as sRGB on your own printer. You can do this in two ways:
a) Export the image as JPG in sRGB in the size it will be printed. You can do this from the Book Module, Re-import it into Lr and print from Lr.
b) Don't export the image just print from Lr by selecting <Managed by printer> as the profile and set your printer to sRGB.

My vector (flattened) images are pixellated when imported in Illustrator. How do I fix this?

Hello.
I am experiencing an issue in Adobe Illustrator.
When attempting to import picture files in Illustrator from PhotoShop, the image appears blurred/pixellated. The image (a .psd file) is converted in Illustrator to a .ai file. I create vector (flattened) images in PhotoShop, which should maintain their picture clarity and quality regardless of what program the vectored image is opened with. Somehow, they are becoming pixellated when converted to .ai files in Illustrator.
I use both Adobe CS6 and Adobe Creative Cloud
Is there a setting or solution that I can implement to rectify this issue?
Many thanks in advance for everyone's input and assistance.

Hello, Doug and John.
Thank you for your replies and for providing feedback.
I am aware that vector format files are only for illustrator. However, I believe you can make a smart object in photoshop using the vector art and it will keep its vector file format in photoshop allowing it to not pixelate.
I would be more interested in seeing if uninstalling and reinstalling the programs would have anything to do with it and also trying to find the settings. Would anyone happen to know if this will resolve the issue? I am hoping this is correct forum in which to post this topic/issue.
Thank you again for your help.

My photos are pixelated when I put them into another new document such as a photo collage. I am trying to put a regular 8x11 image into a 4x6 photo collage of two other images. All come out blurry.

I need help! I am trying to put several photos that are large size 8x11 into a small 4x6 new document photo collage. When I do my images are blurred or pixelated. Even my fonts in the new document are pixelated and my photshop brushes as well. I am a novice so I may be doing something wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have the dinosaur PSE2 but the method should be the same in 11.
Image > Resize > Image Size (the path to Image Size might be different in 11). This brings up the window:
The DPI is in the Resolution box. Enter the new value. Check the Constrain Proportions and Resample Image boxes and click OK.

Printing of the image display area is to small 2 read large displays

Printing of the image display area is to small to read on some large displays
Need to restrict the image resizing in generating the print output to a minimum size (to allow it to be readable) and allow the printed output to flow into a multiple pages wide by multiple pages in length if necessary. Currently it is restricted to one page.

Up graded to CS and images print out are green.

Hello,
I am using 10.4.11 operating system. I upgraded from Photo shop 7.0 to CS and all my images print out green. The printer is a Epson Stylus C88+. The images on my monitor look the same as 7.0. I do a nozzle check every day.
Does any body know why this happened?
Please help!
Many thanks,
Diane

You should always save your photos on computer like any other digital camera.

My prints are not as sharp as the image on screen

does anyone know how to fix this? I also use C1 pro and get much sharper results but prefer the colour in Aperture

ECol a écrit:
As far as I am aware the card is read by the computer as it is without any form of enhancement and sent to the computer and printed.
If I print from the Photo Gallery the prints are as sharp as above.
I would have expected printing from Photoshop to be the same.
No, that's not that simple. Printing means resizing (resampling) most of the time and depending on your printer type/printer driver, a default sharpening is generally applied.
By the way, more sharpening does not necessarily mean better quality. That's the advantage of being able to control both resizing and sharpening from the editing software. There has been many books written on the 'art' of sharpening.

Images printing too small using Lightroom

I have an image that is 316x x 2317 pixels that I am printing using Lightroom 2.3 on Windows XP SP2. I use the Picture Package and add one 4x6 image to the sheet. I am using the Maximize template from the browser. The photo borders are minimum. The image nearly fills the page in the Lightroom viewer just as I expect. The image appears the same in Print Preview. However on my Epson 3800 the image prints about 30% smaller and offset to one corner of the 4x6 sheet.
The problem also occurs when printing from Photoshop CS4.
I am not scaling or resizing in the print driver. I uninstalled and reinstalled the printer using the latest driver.
Please help!!

Oh my...
It seems that, embarrasingly I was tripple checking everything for 4x6 prints but actually had 5x7 loaded in the printer!
Thanks for helping the hopeless.

Objects and Images Printing Much Darker When Sent to Press

So, I'm sure this has been addressed multiple times in many other threads, but for the life of me, I can't find one that addresses my specific issues. So here goes...
When producing ads or catalog layouts with drawn objects, be it solid or gradient filled, or when adding color photos to the design, it always happens that everything turns out much darker on their end. It's frustrating and I don't know if it's something I'm not doing, or if it's something in the offset printing process... Advice would be appreciated.
I am currently using ID CS5.5, and am an intermediate to advanced user, but when it comes to color management...I'm lost.
It's disheartening sending out great ads and layouts when they come out so crappy on their end. (PS...forget about asking for proofs, cause I've asked for years on projects like mass catalog printings, and they just don't do it...so I need to work around that). Thanks guys and gals!

its one of those "how long is a piece of string" questions.
as pete said, colour calibration with your monitor may be a factor, but there are many other items to consider, such as:
* the quality of the light in the room in which the monitor is in;
* whether the images being printed are beyond the max ink weight for the paper (an uncoated stock will have a lower max ink weight than a coated stock)
* what RGB-CMYK conversion is being used. to demonstrate this, try this - take an RGB pic, make it CMYK using the SNAP newsprint profile and save it as 1.tiff. then, go back to the original RGB pic and make it CMYK using the COATED FOGRA 39 profile and save it as 2.tiff. now, place both pics into indesign and go to the seps preview and compare the picture qualities side by side.
there are also issues which may be present at the printer's end, but I won't speculate as to what they may or may not be doing. instead, it is worth having a chat to your providers. Providers interested in your work normally take the time to provide as much information as they can.
it seems to me that if images are constantly coming out darker, that the max ink weights for the stocks being printed on are being exceeded. when submitting ads/prints, are you using the ink limit preview in the seps preview panel and checking it against the max ink weight suggested by the publisher or printer?
my buck o'five.

InCopy CS5.5 update content does not work

I am an editor using InCopy for editing my magazine. I only have InCopy. My art director who uses the full InDesign suite, and I work remotely. She sends InCopy files to me via Dropbox. When she makes changes to the files, my content update does not work. It is shaded grey. It worked a couple of times and then stopped. Does my art director need to do something on her end to ensure I can update content in files she sends to me?
Thanks for any help someone can provide.

Hi and thanks for the quick reply.
This is the problem:
My art director is using Indesign to create Incopy files for me to edit. We
both are working from remote locations and are using Dropbox (remote server)
to store our files. We have been having some problems... When my art
director changes an image I do not see the image change/update on my end.
How do we solve this problem?
We are both using the latest version of the software she is using InDesign
CS5.5 and I'm using InCopy CS5.5.
Thanks for your help.
Cheers,
Mary
