Jagged edges on rotated picture boxes

It seems as though it's a bug. As I rotate imported images the outer edge and hard edges in the actual images are noticably jagged. As in the example. Any suggestions?

Agreed, but there's more to it. If an image is opaque and unrotate it can be output as a JPEG. If that same image is rotate 5 degrees, the current Muse output will still be an unrotated image, but with the original image rotated 5 degrees within the new image. However, the new image now has transparent areas and thus must be a PNG and will be ~5 times larger than the original JPEG. That means slower page load times.
The preferred approach (and our plan) is for Muse to move to using CSS to accomplish the rotation. This will allow the original JPEG to be downloaded since the browser will be performing the rotation. However, the quality of the resulting image in the browser will depend on the quality of the rotation algorithm the browser is using.
So, even once Muse has changed to use CSS for the rotation, it will still be up to you to decide whether you want the quality of pre-rotating images prior to placing them into Muse and the slower page load times associated with PNG images, or whether you want faster page load times and image display quality that will vary from browser to browser. We may at some point offer this option from within Muse, but it's relatively far down on the priority list at the moment.
Regarding re-linking, right-click on the image in the Assets panel and choose "Relink..."

Jagged edges on rotated text in Flash

Does anyone have a good solution for getting rid of jagged edges on rotated text? I have tried the anti-aliasing options but nothing seems to change the jaggedness.
Any advice is apprecitated.
Thanks!

I don't know if this is the problem, but I've seen some display anomalies when using the scroll wheel on the mouse (typically sideways scroll, but it happens with vertical sometimes, too). I know Logitech mice are affected, but I don't believe it's resticted to just the Logitech mice. Im most cases switching to the Hand tool (use the keyboard shortcut Alt/Opt + Spacebar to access it temporarily) and clicking will clear things up again, sometimes for the rest of the editing session. When I see this, though, it affect all pages not just one.
Does the type clear if you restart ID and reopen the file?

Jagged Edges after rotating a stroked image

I've have this problem a lot but I guess I'm just now getting around to ask about it.
When I have a photo in cs2-cs3-cs4 etc and I rotate it at an angle I get fine jagged edges all along the sides. It's becomes very pronounced in a stroked image even when I I stroke the image after rotation. The problem is more obvious when the image is not at angles like 45 or 90 degrees but more visible at in between angles.
Any suggestions?

What you are seeing is alaising, and it is inherent in raster graphics when the line to be shown is not parallel to the columns or rows of the image.It can be mitigated to some extent by antialaising, which softens the edges of the diagonal lines. When you select all of an image and stroke for a border, antialaising is used. With the polygonal lasso tool, you can turn antialaising on or off. Alaising is less apparent with very high resolution, but it can't be elilminated.
Here are triangular selections with antialaising turned on and off:

Images have jagged edges when rotated in Keynote 6.1

After upgrading to Keynote 6.1, I'm having problems when rotating images that I've imported to my slides. Any time I rotate an image that's not on a 45, 90, 180 angle, the image has jagged edges.
Here's a screenshot as an example. The image is on 4 degree angle.
Any ideas?

Sorry, in haste I forgot to mention this also:
Use an appropriate slide size, as a minimum resolution I match the slide size (Keynote > Inspector > Setup Slide Size), to the resolution of the display I am using, in my case 1920 x 1200.
I always resize the images I bring into Keynote with the same pixel resolution as the slide size.

After loading a JPEG file into adobe CC as a smart object and trying to resize image I get big jagged edges around the picture.

Also, the anti-aliasing box isn't checked but is greyed out so I can't check it. How can I fix this issue? Thanks for any help!

Smart object layers transform like pixel layers. The resize may be using your default interpolation method. If you left it at Adobe default setting Bicubic Automativ and you are down sizing a sharpen image it may be using Bicubic Sharper. When Bicubic Sharper is used on sharpened image jagged artifacts may happen. Try changing your Photoshop Interpolation preference to plain bicubic. I'm not a fan of Bicubcr Automatic or Bicubic Sharper. I will use Bicubic Sharper when I re-size my soft unsharpen images for the web.

Jagged edges after rotation

Hi Everyone,
I am try to rotate an image and put it on a background image. Image is being rotated successfuly but jagging appears if i use an small angle to rotate. I am also setting the Antialiasing using Rendering hints...
Please respond.
Thanks,
Masood
Following is the Code:
RenderingHints renderHints = new RenderingHints(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING, RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_DEFAULT);
renderHints.put(RenderingHints.KEY_RENDERING, RenderingHints.VALUE_RENDER_QUALITY);
int value = 5;
int angle = (float)(value * (Math.PI/180.0F));
out = new BufferedImage(bsrc1.getWidth(), bsrc1.getHeight(), BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
Graphics2D g2 = out.createGraphics();
g2.setRenderingHints(renderHints);
//draw bg image
g2.drawRenderedImage(bsrc1, null);
at = AffineTransform.getTranslateInstance(width1+86-34,height1-30);
at.rotate(angle,612/2,486/2);
g2.drawRenderedImage(bsrc2,at);
g2.dispose();

It's not an antialiasing process, it's interpolation. Try setting the interpolation key to bilinear or bicubinc - though the results still won't be ideal.
If that's not good enough then what you could do to get a fully smooth edge, if you're prepared to lose a pixel or two round the edge, is this:
- rotate the image
- create a quarilateral Shape which forms a rectangle around the new four corners
- turn on antialiasing
- using a stroke the same colour as your background, with a width of say 2 pixels, render the shape
This should give you a smooth edge but, as I say, you will lose a pixel or so round each edge, which may or may not be acceptable.

Picture quality has jagged edges when people are moving

We have our settings right, but when we play back the video there are jagged edges around the people, especially when there is movement. Could the problem be that it is a digital ycc format and apple is switching it to RGB?

30" Apple monitor or no...you need a PRODUCTION monitor, or a TV to see a TRUE representation of the image:
#8 External Monitor Viewing.
Shane's Stock Answer #8:
A simple path is mac > firewire > camera or deck > rca cables > tv
Then start up your camera and tv, then open fcp.
Then go View > External video > all frames
Video playback should be Apple firewire NTSC (If you are using an NTSC set)
Audio playback should be Audio follows Video
Techinially, this should send synched video to your TV
If for some reason you can't view your timeline on your external monitor, there are a few things to try:
1) Make sure that the camera/deck is connected and powered on BEFORE you open FCP.
2) In the Final Cut Pro menu select AUDIO/VIDEO Preferences and make sure your signal is being sent out thru Firewire DV.
3) Go to the menu and select VIEW>EXTERNAL>ALL FRAMES.
4) Click in the % box above the image and select FIT TO WINDOW.
5) Go to VIEW->refresh A/V devices
6) Make sure the Log & Capture window is closed
If you want it to play in both the canvas and the external monitor you need to go to the FINAL CUT PRO menu and select AUDIO/VIDIO settings and make sure MIRROR ON DESKTOP is selected under the PLAYBACK OUTPUT section

Pictures opening in pse 9 with rough/jagged edges....HELP, just started doing this 2 days ago

I recently purchased PSE 9 a few months ago and LOVE it. However, out of nowhere; the last few days when I open my images in pse 9 there are edges of the picture that look almost jagged for lack of a better word. At 1st I thought someone got ahold of my camera and messed up my settings but I ruled that out as even when I open photos taken months ago alraedy edited in pse they do the same thing. Funny thing is these pictures look fine in MS Office Picture Manager.
Nobody has been on my computer at all so I am completely stumped as to how a perfect picture looks great on camera and in MS Office PM and now looks really bad in pse....I'm basically unable to edit (work) until I figure out how to fix this issue.
As an example as I likely have not explained myself very well, I took some pics of my baby yesterday in just his diaper and in pse most of the edges of his skin look all rough/jagged instead of a smooth line. I then took pics of myself in another room, different lighting and some outdoor wildlife shots and it does not matter where pic is taken, subject or lighting they are all opening with these rough edges.
Please help as I can not do anything until this is fixed and I may have 2 portrait sessions this weekend!
Thank You

Hi Christina,
No one else (in the discussions I found) knew why that would become an issue either....
There's no way to set PSE to automatically display at a specific view percentage.
To check (and modify, if necessary) your Windows display settings, go to Start...Help and search for "text on screen", then choose the "Make the text on your screen larger or smaller" item from the results. It'll give you step-by-step instructions.
There's no guarantee that this next suggestion will help, but when PSE starts acting goofy, re-setting the Preferences often solves the problem:
Create a shortcut on your Desktop for the PSE9 Editor. The executable is at
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 9\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe
on Win7 x64 machines, "\Program Files" on 32-bit systems.
Hold down the Ctrl+Alt+Shift keys when you double-click on that icon to launch PSE.
Answer "Yes" to the prompt to restore the default Preferences.

When rotating a simple black rectangle, jagged edges are created. How can I fix this? (for web)

I have been messing with a simple black rectangle and when I transform it, jagged edges appear. This is the base for a logo for web. I have anti-alising checked in pref. The logo looks horrible and blurry/jagged on the edges even when previewed on several screens from pc to mac. Any suggestions are welcome!
p.s. this is also happening with text, that has been made an object (top of text seen in the rectangle.)

I don't see anything unusual. That's the best anti-aliasing you can possibly get. Have you seen another black on white hard edge at the same angle that looks better? When comparing raster images make sure you view all of them at screen resolution which is 100% zoom.
Obviously anti-aliasing of horizontal and vertical lines is the best followed by 45° angles and at your angle it is one of the worst because with this angle you have less pixel lines to render it on the pixel grid of the screen. Also the pixels of each monitor screen are different sizes and if you happened to be viewing it on screens with relatively larger pixels the aliasing will be more noticeable.

The end of jagged edges in iMovie using stills

It took an astonishing 14 months, but I have finally beaten the dreaded jagged edge quality issue in iMovie when using still photos. If you're reading this, you're a sufferer. How could the software be so bad as to ruin every picture you put in there? It's all about knowing the settings, and that can be difficult without some help.
It feels as though I've really gone through the mill with this programme, but here's your fix - or at least, a fix that worked for me.
Initially, I was using the first version of iMovie and the first version of OSX. In that environment I found the problem unsolvable. I didn't get anywhere until I upgraded to Panther (10.3.9) and iMovie HD 5.0.2. Here there are many more options and settings, but it is still a minefield. I tried almost every setting there is, and have the 'coasters' to prove it.
My fix is for widescreen. Choose HDV720P. Select your frame rate in the preferences box at 25 (which is PAL for use in the UK) And that's it. It produces a stable, high quality movie where all the effects available work perfectly - and no jagged edges!
If, as I do, you use Photo to Movie for more adventurous multiple pan and scans for sections of your movie, export from that software using 'higher quality' on rendering, select 16.9 widescreen, and DV stream PAL as your export format. This stops iMovie from trying to resample it, and very possibly giving a choppy or jerky movement to your imports. Using the above settings will give a perfect result, and you can freely use iMovie's transitions to join an imported item to footage created in iMovie.
I've now produced many very successful movies on these settings. It works for me, I really hope it works for you. iMovie can drive you up the wall when it doesn't give the results you know it can be capable of.
Quicksilver G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Thanks for the idea, Steve. I like working with the HDV 720P high def projects for slideshows too. The quality is awfully nice to work with and it delivers projects that will work far better with tomorrow's hardware. Although we can't burn HD DVDs yet, hopefully that day will come soon, and the HDV slideshows we create today will look very good on the HDTVs we own tomorrow. They look good today, but they will look even better tomorrow.
It should be noted, however, that it's not necessary to create an HDV project to avoid the jaggies on still images. The cause of the jaggies in DV projects -- the type of projects we mostly make -- is well known and can be avoided. It doesn't require third-party software like Photo to Movie, but it does require avoiding a bug.
iMovie adds the jaggies after we press the Create iDVD Project button in the iDVD tab of iMovie. When that button is pressed, iMovie will ask permission to render any UN-rendered clips, including any unrendered KB images. If you grant permission to render, iMovie adds the jaggies while rendering those images.
If the clips have been previously rendered by Ken Burns, or if you refuse permission to render after pressing the button so iDVD renders them later, you don't get the jaggies.
I use Ken Burns to render images as they are imported, which it does with great quality. Once rendered, iMovie won't ask to render those images again. One reason I render with Ken Burns is so I can grant iMovie to render OTHER clips when it asks permission.
Ken Burns will render the image if the KB checkbox is turned ON when the image is imported. So turning on the checkbox avoids the bug.
If the checkbox isn't on when you import an image, you can select that KB clip in the timeline later, turn the checkbox ON, and Update the image.
Regrettably, once iMovie has added jaggies to clips they cannot be repaired. It's necessary to re-import the image and discard the flawed clip.

Clip within a clip equals jagged edges

I have placed an video clip (Dad) incide of another video clip (son) to look as if the Dad is coming in over a video telecast on a black laptop. Problem is I am seeing jagged edges along two sides of the Dad clip. Is this caused by aliasing? Is there a way to smooth out the edge? Thanks!
alex

First, are you looking at the output on an NTSC monitor or television, or on your computer screen. The computer screen will not give you a true look at your final product and this type of issue is often "not really there"
If it is "really there" after checking output on a monitor or television, you might try feathering the edges of the "box" (MOTION > CROP > FEATHER EDGES)

Jagged edges on photos.

Hello.
I got a huge problem when trying to incorporate pics in PSE12.
I have downsized all pics to 2000X1500 using PS.
My problem is that the photos comes out with jagged edges and really bad quality.
I have tried all sorts of things. Saving it to PC helped a little but still jagged edges and overall really bad quality.
Tried different sizes, still same.
Even tried downsizing to 720 and burn to disc, playback on ps4. Still same.
The quality of video is fine and looks alot better then Pictures. I can just pause the video and it looks
crisper with no jagged edges.
I have never experienced this Before with older versions of PSE.
And No! This is not a resolution issue. I know they wont look as crisp as original
photos but they should be on par with videoquality and as of now they are not.

Vinjack
Just what program are you working with - Photoshop Elements 12 or Premiere Elements 12. The "PSE" abbreviation is typically used with Photoshop Elements.
In order for us to help you, please clarify your posting. If this is a Photoshop Elements question, you have posted in the wrong forum. You want the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum (photo editing) and not where you are now the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum (video editing). It is your mention of "Timeline" incorporated in the "PSE" description that is confusing. By any chance are you working in the Elements Organizer Slideshow Editor of a Photoshop Elements program? Do you have any version of Premiere Elements at all?
Looking forward to your follow up.
Thanks.

Jagged edges because of oversaturated colors with XDCAM EX

Hi,
i want to export a movie created in after effects as XDCAM EX 1080i50. My problem is, that i get jagged edges in the output file because of the oversaturated color im using in my After Effects composition. In the picture below you can see the star with the magenta color which has the jagged edges. With yellow i dont have this problem. Is there a Matrix of supported colors in XDCAM EX or another solution for this problem?

The stars above have all been created in the same layer. Blue and Yellow looks ok but the magenta has always the jagged edges. I get sharp edges if i change the color to less magenta and more white. It has to be something with the colors. I already tried the effect of broadcast compatible colors or how it sounds but without succes.
My workflow for export / import:
Export in after effects cs 5.5 to QT422 HQ 1920 x 1080
import in premiere cs5.5 in XDCAM EX sequence 1920 x 1080
export to XDCAM EX 1920 x 1080 i 50
if i export in premiere to QT 422 HQ it looks ok also with the magenta.

Aliasing issues in ACR 6.4 output, jagged edges

In images with high frequency detail, aliasing occurs that is most visible in diagonal directions. These jagged edges are noticable in the output, and obviously get worse in enlargements which is also the main reason I post this.
To date, I've found 2 workarounds:
process in ACR, duplicate layer in Photoshop, apply gaussian blur around 0,5px, and manually paint on the offending jagged edges
use another raw converter
For demonstration purposes, I've taken an old and unspectacular D3X NEF from imaging-resource.com. It's a picture of a house and some trees etc. I've used:
Camera Raw 6.4 with default settings (first row): aliased edges
Capture One Pro 6.2 with default settings (middle row): anti-aliased edges but introduction of false (green) colour
Raw Developer 1.9.1 with default settings (bottom row): anti-aliased edges free from artifacts
Some (100%) area's where the aliasing shows:
At first I thought the difference was due to the sharpening in these 3 convertors. Forgive me if I omit showing a comparison and just assert that turning of sharpening and replacing it with Photoshop remove lens blur, didn't help. It just showed the defects apparantly already present in the (ACR and C1 processed) file.
The result however from a properly sharpened, denoised, and upsampled TIFF that originates from Raw Developer is impressive. However, given the fact that Raw Developer is Apple OSX only, and I do post-processing on Windows, it introduces a bit of an unpracticality.
Is there any possibility to eliminate this unpleasant aliasing in ACR, so I can keep a high quality Adobe-only workflow?

The "blocky" details are easily reproduced in that image. Looks like something that needs to be tuned up to me.
Note that you have the option of choosing the 2003 process in Camera Raw, which appears to avoid that issue.
I just want to add one thing: There's no upsampled resolution available for this particular camera. 6048 x 4032 is the largest size available. I for one prefer to convert my raw files directly to upsampled resolutions on the theory that it might improve this kind of thing (and it does seem to deliever more accurate detail with my now out-of-date Canon cameras). At some point in the past I requested that Camera Raw make several upsampled resolutions available beyond the "native" camera size for any/all cameras. I hereby renew that request.

Background masking / jagged edges

was wondering about how i get jagged edges sometimes when masking out a background.
i'm working on a document right now that is 59" x 39" at 72 pixels / inch resolution. when masking out some areas of the background, i notice jagged edges around the parts of the document that i want to see (or not masked out). is this due to the image being at 72 ppi?
i don't always have this happen, and i'm wondering if the difference is b/w images that are 72ppi and 300ppi.
also...in order to avoid the jagged edges, is it best to feather the selection a bit (i.e., 1 to 2 pixels) before applying the mask?
thanks in advance for any feedback!!

hey, zeno...
yes...i am using the pen tool, and the anti-alias box is checked.
i'm going off memory here....but it seems different results happen when using the pen tool, making a selection, then deleting the unwanted image as opposed to masking it. i typically use the pen tool and don't always get jagged edges. i'm trying to figure out what causes the difference.....or maybe i'm crazy...
