Is the image quality in Debut good enough for client presentations?

Yes. Debut provides high-fidelity renditions of Photoshop (PSD), Illustrator (AI) or InDesign (INDD) files. You can also open PDF, JPEG, PNG and GIF files directly in Debut. Additionally, you can get the highest fidelity view of your work by opting to view it at original size.
Pinch to zoom in on images; Drag to pan; Double-tap to view at 100%:

OK,  I have managed to get higher quality images from the PDF renderer. Here is what I have found:
1) The PDF renderer in Reporting Services 2005 will size all images that it is given at 96 DPI no matter what DPI the image is when you pass it to the renderer. That means that a 300 DPI image or even a 600 DPI image will be sized in the PDF as if it is only 96 DPI. That means your high DPI image will render much larger than you expect.
So you might expect a 300 DPI image that is 6.5 inches wide to render properly at 1950 pixels. Yet, the PDF renderer will size it as it were 96 DPI which would make the image 20.3 inches long!
2) There is good news though. Despite sizing the images as if they were 96 DPI, the PDF renderer appears to render higher DPI images at a higher quality than 96 DPI. So despite the sizing being wrong, the image actually is rendering at a higher quality.
This means that you should size the image to the proper number of inches based on 96 DPI calculations. Then you can use Bitmap.SetResolution to set your images to at least 300 DPI.  That should give you a higher quality image that is the proper number of pixels to fit properly in your report.
I am able to do all of this sizing dynamically because I am using objects as my data sources, but I am sure there are VB functions you could use in the report itself to accomplish the same task.
It is late, and I've been at this project all day long, so forgive me if I have explained anything poorly or gotten any concepts long. Yet, at this late hour, I believe this is what the renderer is doing.
I hope this helps someone else in the future, or at least points them in the right direction.

  • Is the new macbook's performance good enough for me?

    Hi,
    I didn't see any topic for the new MacBook, so I just put this question here, hope you people don't really mind, sorry for that.
    My plan for next couple years on was to build a PC by myself, and buy a new laptop that have a nice design but can deliver enough performance for my need.  Here is what I was thinking about.
    Sometimes I need to do something hard and intensive, also need playing video games for fun, which these are not quiet often.  Which is exactly why I want to build a desktop PC for.  Other times I need to use GIMP and I want to learn programming, knowing to use commands, or creating something new just for fun, also playing games that is not very intensive on performance (Minecraft, Left 4 Dead 2, GMOD(which could be intensive sometimes)).  But most of the times, I am just taking to my friends on internet, watching videos, or making a document maybe checking e-mails.
    Consider about that, my laptop will be the primary platform, and only uses Desktop PC for heavy works.  It might also save some money for electricity :-)
    My current Dell Inspiron 3000 was good, but sometimes I thought the N3530 was under-power, that does not benefits me on performance.  I have a mid-2012 MacBook Air from school which is faster, and is more than enough to do schoolwork and web broswing. The new MacBook I checked was pretty impressive and I like that design, but a lot of people have argued that performance, afraid that performance could only do light tasks.
    These days I see the report that New MacBook was on par with mid-2011 MacBook Air on performance, so I guess it could benefits me.  If the performance is good enough, I will go with this one, regardless about price-performance thing.

    Think of the new Macbook as a powerful iPad that can run OS X.....is that powerful enough for you? Sexy as they are, and I want one too, they're just an entry level computer.

  • Is the 3.06 GHz iMac good enough for gaming? How good is the performance?

    The primary difference between the two cheapest iMacs is the graphics card and the 500 GB hard drive increase. The hard drive upgrade can be ignored for a moment, since the worst case scenario is I buy an external 500 GB hard drive for $50. For the graphics card, though, how big of a performance boost would I get from upgrading to the next graphics card, which would be going from the ATI Radeon HD 4670 with 256MB to the ATI Radeon HD 5670 with 512MB? Is the 256MB probably going to be sufficient to last at least four years, or should I just pay the extra $300 or so to upgrade to the 512 MB? The market price difference between the two models is about $50 at the moment.
    I have a MBP right now as you can see in my signature; as it's four years old already, gaming-wise, it can't really play the latest games anymore. It's capable of playing Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (not the sequel) at the lowest graphics settings and only getting 30 FPS or so when there's little action, but that can easily drop to 15 FPS or less when there's stuff happening on the screen.
    I don't play video games all that much (let's say five hours a week), but I'd at least like a computer that doesn't need to be replaced too soon, either, so I'm currently on the fence between these two models. I definitely don't want to go the next step and get a 27" iMac, though, since I already have a 21" monitor and so getting an extra 21" iMac would fit best with it, and I'm happy with the size as it is as I usually use my computer for programming and such.

    Not even the top end card included in the 27" models is going to last 4 years, so you may as well rule out the iMac right now. You're going to want something a bit more user-friendly on the upgrade front. So, that limits you to the Mac Pro if you want to stay with Apple products. Otherwise, you're going to want to build your own PC so you can build in some modularity.

  • How can I change the image quality of a background image on a master slide?

    I can change the image quality from low to high for other images in my Captivate project, but the background image I'm using on my master slide looks pixellated. I would like to change this image to high-quality but I don't see the option in my properties panel on my master slide.
    Thanks for any help!

    You cannot import AI images directly. However, when I use Illustrator drawings, I'll import them as smart object in Photoshop and then you can import the PS-layer.
    The quality you set in Captivate is not for individual images, but for the slides that are published as bitmap. This means that it doesn't matter if the object is on a master slide or on a regular slide IMO

  • Integrated graphics (9400M) good enough for keynote?

    I'm thinking about buying a new MBP 15 with only the 9400M card. Will this be good enough for keynote presentations (with some heavy graphics and embedded movies etc) hooked to an external projector?
    (I have an 2006 MBP 15 which is dying (those pixelated horizontal lines) but that had discrete graphics Ati x1600 which had some problems with keynote transitions)
    Thanks!

    It should be able to handle Keynote with no problem.
    But since this particular applications performance seems to
    be very important to you, why not just put a Keynote presentation of yours on
    a CD or flash stick and take it into an Apple Store. They will gladly let you try your
    file with their new Macbook Pro's. If there isn't an Apple Store near you then go to an authorized Apple reseller.
    That is the only way to be totally sure.

  • I just set up a new computer running Windows 8.1. When I go to my icloud photostream, the pictures are in PNG format NOT JPG. When I open and upload photos from the photostream, the resolution is so low that the image quality is terrible. Help?!?

    Hey Sierra, You can do just what you have stated. My question, what is your "other"? If it is over 1.5 GB you most likely have corrupt files. Doing a Restore to New, Factory restore should correct it. Just make sure you make a full backup of all information on your iPod to your computer before you restore, so you don't lose your stuff, contacts, videos, pictures, non-iTunes music, etc, use the cable and connect with your computer. Then, via cable, connect to your computer, run the Restore to new, don't use your backup. Treat this iPod as if it was your first one ever. When restore is done, set up and add what info you wish to install on this iPod. The music apps etc you purchased should be on your computer, if not you should be able to retrieve purchased apps and music from iTunes. Any music, videos, apps not purchased from iTunes will be lost to you if you do not save them to your computer or the cloud first. When your done, make a current Backup and you should good to go. Hope this helps. Good luck. Cheers.

  • Why has the image quality of my PNG sequences suddenly worsened?

    I've been regularly exporting PNG sequences from Premiere Pro CS6, but suddenly the image quality of the images looks terrible.
    All my export settings look correct. Any thoughts on what might be causing this?
    Thanks...

    ...and now the results are very poor...
    And in which way exactly? How do you judge on quality?
    My ... settings are ... 792x582 (same size as source)... My Preview File Format is the default I-frame only MPEG.
    Your frame size is not good for previewing in PrPro. MPEG 2 uses macroblocks of 8x8 pixels for compressing data. And now what you get with your frame size: 792 pix / 8 = 99; 582 pix / 8 = 72.75

  • Firefox mage quality and resolution was superb when I used XP and Vista. Now that I have Windows 7, however (with the Firefox 3.6.3 version), the image quality and resolution is poor. Please help me!

    The problem seems to only affect .jpeg files and only on Windows 7 on my desktop; as I have viewed several sites using windows XP with my laptop, no issues.

  • Satellite S70-A-11H web camera image quality is not good

    Hi,
    Running windows 8.1 which came with the laptop.
    New out of the box.
    As per title.
    I find the image quality of the camera image to be very grainy, poor color etc.
    When I start the web camera using the search bar on the right, it starts using the Microsoft application, when you scroll down to settings all that is available under settings/options is Photo aspect ratio, Grid lines, Location info.
    I have been in touch with Toshiba Tech support who advised to do a Laptop refresh, which I did.
    This made no difference.
    After which they asked me to find the Toshiba web camera application on the laptop, this should have been in the Program Files folder in the Toshiba folder.
    This application does not exist on my laptop.
    The tech checked the same model laptop that he had available, which I was told when he selected the web camera, it opened using the Toshiba Web camera application, not Microsoft.
    I have looked at other Toshiba laptops with web cameras, and found the image quality to be better. Unable to get to settings as these laptops were on display and in demo mode, hence locked down to some extent.
    I can't believe that a web camera in this day and age for this value of laptop to have such poor image quality. My digital camera from 10year ago has better image quality.
    I have checked through the laptop, and I do not have this application installed.
    I have checked for updated drivers and software for my laptop, and cannot find this application to be applicable for my laptop. Drivers etc appear to be up to date.
    I would like to know, do other users of this S series have any issue of camera image quality.
    When the camera is selected what application is being used, Toshiba or Microsoft.
    Is Toshiba web camera application applicable to Windows 8.1, as I cannot see it listed for 8.1
    Does this sound like a hardware fault or a application/software issue.
    Any direction or help on this matter would be appreciated, as I am getting to the point of returning this laptop for a refund.
    Thanks in advance.
    D.
    Yes, I have tried using the FORCE!

    > The tech checked the same model laptop that he had available, which I was told when he selected the web camera, it opened using the Toshiba Web camera application, not Microsoft.
    The Toshiba webcam application is available for Win 7 system but the Win 8 and Windows 8.1 system use the own Microsoft webcam application.
    > I have looked at other Toshiba laptops with web cameras, and found the image quality to be better.
    Different Toshiba notebooks are equipped with different webcams.
    Satellite S70-A-11H was equipped with a *0.92 mega pixel webcam*
    A Satellite A660 for example was equipped with an _1.3M mega pixel webcam_
    So there is a difference in webcam resolution

  • Do you know if it's possible on an iPad to set the image quality/size or do we just have the one size - the photos I've taken work out at approx 8 x 6cm @300ppi - not that big!

    Do you know if it's possible on an iPad to set the image quality/size or do we just have the one size - the photos I've taken, work out at approx 8 x 6cm @300ppi - not that big!

    8cm * (1 in/2.54cm) * 300 dpi = 944 pixels (should be 1280 if this is the back camera)
    6cm * (1in/2.54cm) * 300 dpi = 708 pixels (should be 720 if this is the back camera)
    The back camera on iPad 2 is 1280x720 = 0.92Mp.  No way to increase that.

  • When I drag photos into iMovie, the image quality is degraded.  Can I somehow prevent the degradation?

    When I drag photos into iMovie, the image quality is degraded.  Can I somehow prevent the degradation?

    Hi
    A very common origin to jumpy picture is
    • Recorded material in one frame rate e.g. 29.97fps (NTSC) and iDVD set to do a 25fps (PAL) project - OR the other way around.
    It delivers a DVD but a very bad one.
    I do convert all my material to same fps as the DVD I want to do (e.g. PAL) - before any editing etc.
    I use JES_Deinterlacer or Compressor to do this and the result is so much better.
    JES_Deinterlacer is free on Internet and makes a Great job - Professional alternatives comes at an astronomical cost and the quality is not hardly no better.

  • Is the MacBook Pro 13 inch good enough?

    Is the non retina  MacBook Pro 13 core i5 with 4g of ram good enough for nonprofessional  video editing  making apps surfing the web watching videos ? Or can I get a MacBook Air 13 inch ? is these two good  enough for what I want ? And what is the difference between them and the MacBook Pro 13 inch core i7 with 8g of ram ? Is it a big difference between them ? Which one of these three you advice me to go with ?

    That will work fine. I would eventually stick 8G of RAM in it though. I have 8G in mine and have run low and started paging out already. Safari and Flash are big RAM hogs.
