JPEG looks distorted

I need to put a full screen JPEG (company logo and copyright) at the end of a 2 minute video. In the browser window it looks fine, but when I bring it to the timeline it gets a little distorted, especially the small lettering of the copyright. Any idea how to get it to what it looks like in the browser?
Here's a little more info:
JPEG image
225 KB on disk (221,310 bytes)
1920 × 1080
color space:RGB
Color Profile: Adobe RGB (1998)
Alpha channel: No

So it's not distorting in the sense of the aspect ratio changing. It's just looking pixlely.
That's after rendering? Set the canvas to 100% and see how it looks. The text may just to too small to encode in a mediocre codec like the Apple Intermediate Codec. Try it in ProRes or HQ. It still may be too small for video. I would never go below 20 point for a legal disclaimer. Depending on the font that's about the minimum legal size.

Acrobat 9: Issue with Graphics Looking Distorted

Hi all. I'm sure that the answer to this is very simple and I am doing something ridiculous ...
I use Microsoft Publisher (2007 version) to create documents, and then convert them to PDF using Acrobat 9. Recently, I have noticed that many of the graphics elements that I use are looking distorted when viewed onscreen. They print out looking as smooth as they did in the original Publisher file, but are a lot less so onscreen. Seeing as many people read PDFs onscreen now, this is a bit of a worry.
I have tried saving graphics as JPEGs, GIFs, PNGs and TIFFs (in PhotoShop CS5) and get the same issue each time. Also, the quality between one save and another can be extremely variable. In the example I have attached (the top section is a screen grab from the Publisher file, the bottom when convereted), once or twice when saving the rotated image looked utterly dreadful (as in completely usable). However, when I would save it again a few minutes later, without having adjusted anyting, it looked a lot better.
In the example below, you can see our company logo and also the lines around the photograph don't look great. (The rest is just text, which always looks great.)
Any settings I am missing ... other PDFs I have seen always look great.
I have set the the PDF conversation to High Quality, so am not sure where I am going wrong.

Jpegs look 'darker' in PSE8 than they do in other programs.

I have started to have problems with Photoshop Elements 8. It used to display jpegs exactly the same as when viewed in other programs, such as Preview and Canon DPP. Then the other day I opened a jpeg in PS8 and it looked a lot darker than I remember, so I opened it in Preview to find that it was OK. Switching back to PSE8 and it was definitely much darker, so I tried DPP as well, again the jpeg looked fine in DPP.
In the end I reinstalled PSE8 and all returned to normal then today when I launched PSE8 it froze on me and I had to do a Force Quit. So I then rebooted launched PSE8 opened a jpeg and its darker than it should be? Opening the same file in Preview, DPP, iPhoto, Image Browser and bizarrely Adobe Bridge CS4 and the jpeg looks correct. It is only PSE8 which is wrong?
I have trashed all the preferences I can find for PSE8 but that did not help.
I suppose I could reinstall PSE8 again but seems a bit of a palaver to have to do this every time.
Any thoughts out there?

I use Adobe RGB for my image settings and I use a Spyder 2 to calibrate my display.
All was perfectly OK in that no matter which program I viewed the jpegs in be it Digital Photo Professional, Preview or PSE they always looked the same. Even when I printed them out the printed result was as far as I was concerned the same.
Then something happened and jpegs started looking darker in PSE, but looked the same as they always did in Preview, DPP and even Adobe CS4 Bridge, it was only PSE that they looked underexposed.
I cured the problem by reinstalling PSE but then it went again, I have reinstalled it again and so far things are OK.
I am sure the problem lies in PSE and something goes awry with the program. As all the other programs continue to display the images as I expect them to look and they print out as I expect as well.

Why do my jpegs look kind of ratty when I view them on the web?

I bet this is a real newb question, but I haven't been able to find the answer so far.
So this particular jpeg looks great when I export it from Paint.net (max quality), but then when I put it in my iWeb site, upload it, and view in my browser it looks kind of ratty, lower res or something. Why would this be? I am using the jpeg in the site at actual size...
Any help appreciated...

What is the resolution of your original image?
My other question would be, "What device are you viewing it on?"
The reason for the second question is that, if you are viewing the page in the browser on a Retina machine the image won't look to good.
Nowadays we upload a "standard" image and a "retina" one with the Apple high resolution modifier - @2x - so that those with a retina screen won't see a wishy washy, faded image.
I haven't tried this in iWeb since I don't use it anymore but it should be possible using an HTML Snippet and including the retina javascript file. That's quite a few hoops to jump through!
The iWeb replacement app EverWeb does all this for you, automatically, if you load two images - image.jpg and [email protected]
It also has a new slider widget which will display both normal and high quality images.

Pages Panel looks distorted

I'm working to apply master pages to a document for page numbers and such, and the pages panel looks distorted and won't load properly. I have tried starting and restarting the program and computer. The document works properly on another program in my office, but I really need it to work on mine. I am running InDesign CS6 8.0.2.
If anyone has any idea of how to fix this please let me know.
Also, how do I move a master page number over a box, creating the background color? Do I have to apply it in another layer?

This is what it looks like, but sometimes it gets hung up on other words or items.
You cannot drag master pages to pages like you are supposed to be able to.

Why do photos on ebay, facebook, other web sites look distorted?

When I post photos or browse photos in ebay, facebook, and other sites they look distorted, although they come up fine in Internet Explorer.

If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
*Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
*Check that images are enabled: Tools > Options > Content: [X] Load images automatically
*Check the exceptions in "Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions"
*Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images with the cursor Down key).
If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
Make sure that you do not block third-party images, the permissions.default.images pref should be 1.<br />
See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images.

Help! my video looks distorted!

I created a movie (mostly using still photos) on final cut express and when previewing it in final cut AND when viewing it after it was burnt to a dvd....it looks distorted. There's a bunch of lines all over the place...which makes the stills unclear and it's especially more obvious when using the ken burns effect. Does anyone know what's going on? Please help!

First, I click the effects tab>video>de-interlace. I then drag the de-interlace icon that is in the effects tab to a still picture in the timeline. When I double click on the picture in the timeline, I then click on the filters tab in the viewer window. De-interlace is shown under the video filters list. I have tried all options under de-interlace (lower-odd, lower-even, flicker filter-minimal, flicker filter-medium,filter flicker-max) and they all do not work. When I preview it, it looks like there's a slight blur to the picture. But after I render the video, those jagged lines still appear on all straight edges in the picture. I have burnt the video to dvd, using idvd, and it still looks the same when I view it on my TV. Is there another way to view the video on the TV before burning it to a DVD so that I do not have to waste anymore DVDs? Am I adding the de-interlace incorrectly? Please, please, please help me! It's so frustrating and my movie is due next week, so I need to figure this out real quick. Thank you guys for trying to help

My graphics in adobe photoshop randomly look distorted, how do i fix?

My graphics in adobe photoshop randomly look distorted. It was fine yesterday but now theyre all messed up. I tried the open gl steps, which worked last time but this time they didnt fix it. How can I fix it? I have a project deadline coming up.

My husband has the same phone, we purchased them at the same time. I sent him the same photos in the same email that I downloaded them from and on his phone they show up with the normal higher resolution. Is it possible that there is something wrong with my iPhone or is there a setting that can be changed? I'm still learning to use it. All my other photos are of normal resolution. Does this make any sense to anyone?
Please help!

Illustrator CS6 jpeg file saved looks distorted when uploaded onto internet

I am helping a pal of mine on illustrator and I have little knowledge so Im asking here. They made a simple type and shape design with a solid backdrop. When I tried to export via save for web to jpeg with high settings, it came up online with subtle but visible alterations. Behind my shapes are speckled like dust, it looks super low quality.
I'm not sure what info would help solve this, but maybe someone else has made an oopsie and can tell me how to fix it. I tried using ps to save instead, I even tried removing the backdrop and remaking a whole new document and just moving select items over, then recoloring..which was not the best attempt but same result.
I'm not exactly sure what her color settings should be to avoid this. Im working at 6500 x 6500 right now.
Here's a visual of the up close issue.
All over its less quality. And Im saving at top jpeg settings in RGB
I really don't want to tell her she has to begin all over again, thanks in advance for help.
Oh, on her pc there is no distortion. It's just online where it becomes crazy.

Are you sure she can't take gif? It can be rgb, and for this style of art, it will look better than jpeg. This is a quick recreation of your file section, as a medium-low quality gif.

Why does a jpeg look yellower in Aperture than Preview?

Friend sent a jpeg to me. The image looks much yellower in Aperture than preview.
Exif data regarding color:
Profile Name: sRGB v1.31 (Canon
I have Aperture and preview set to Proofing Profile sRGB 2.1. I have also calibrated my monitor using the display preferences wizard.
Any reason for the yellow cast when I import the image to Aperture?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

I have Aperture and preview set to Proofing Profile sRGB 2.1. I have also calibrated my monitor using the display preferences wizard.
Are you saying that you have View->Onscreen Proofing turned on? What if you turn it off and view the image does it still have the yellow cast?

Font looks distorted and faint with Google Docs

Hey all. When I create a Google Doc (spreadsheet) the text looks oddly thin, creating this weird, distorted, faint version of Arial 10pt. It only looks like this on Firefox (30.0) and not on Chrome or IE.
Check out screen shots here:
Firefox: http://screencast.com/t/rWaA1QXg9jIF
Chrome & IE: http://screencast.com/t/ujtrpv8C
Please understand it actually looks a lot worse here in real life. The screen shot blurs the lines a little, making it look similar - when it reality, its VERY different.
This is a new problem and only happens with newly created Google Doc Spreadsheets. Any help here would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I'm not even sure why hardware acceleration was disabled. I have now enabled it, and it has helped.
However, it seems the text is not evenly spaced out. Some are normal space, others are too close together.
Again, a little odd. Here's a pic: http://screencast.com/t/h8zHtwkP
Still trying to work though this. Any other feedback or suggestions are welcomed. :-)

Output jpeg looks different than edited RAW image

I just got CS6 and have been working on some new images in RAW. Once I finished the editing I wanted to do in RAW, I saved the image as a jpeg, then clicked "open image" at the bottom of the RAW window. The image that came up in Photoshop looked nothing like my edited RAW image. It's as if none of the edits ever occurred. I've looked on the internet and tried figuring it out on my own. I'm at a loss and would appreciate the help.

Noel - first of all, thanks much for taking the time to respond to my question. You helped me realize (and I should have realized this last night) that my question and problem statement lacked a lot of detail. I'm new to Photoshop, but I've learned a good lesson. Here's some more details: I use a Nikon D700, WIndows XP OS, and CS6. After taking the images from my memory card directly into Bridge, I can see that the images look "good", meaning they match what I was seeing on my camera display. The metadata for my photo of interest states that the color profile is RGB, and I assume this is sRGB? I open the .nef file directly into CS6 RAW. Once again the image in RAW looks just like it did in Bridge and on my camera display. I like how it looks in general, but I make the manipulations I want in RAW (removing blemishes, softening skin, etc). Prior to saving the manipulated image, I click on the Workflow Options link below the image and choose 8-bit, sRGB, then save it as a .jpeg. Photoshop's color space has also previously been set to sRGB, so the two match. If I open the image from RAW directly into Photoshop or open the newly created .jpeg from Bridge into Photoshop, the image no longer looks like what I saw in RAW. The image looks sort of hazy, the black background that was completely black in the RAW image is now visible in the Photoshop image, and the model's skin, which looked nice and smooth in RAW, now looks pixelated.
You suggestions about color management make sense, and I bet I'm still making some sort of mistake in that regard. Any ideas?

Parts of FCE finished movie looks distorted on HDTV

i took a rough cut of a sequence i'm working on and exported it to quicktime in FCE, then took the resulting file and used toast to create a DVD. my purpose was to check to see how the safe area markers in FCE worked in my real life home TV situation. the safe areas are fine, but now i find that some of my still pictures, which looked fine during the edit process inside FCE, now look stretched and distorted on my TV. Any thoughts on what might have caused this? i used the export to quicktime output option, not the quicktime conversion method (as described in tom's book).

Hi(Bonjour)!
HDTV... did you use a high def sequence settings (Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60 or so) to edit your stills?
What kind of DVD format did you cchoose in toast, a Blue-Ray (high def) or DViX one ?
To get a final HD material, you have to use HD settings at each step of workflow.
As you know HD is alway 16:9, but the pixel aspect ratio can be different from one HD format to another.
