(JS)  Setting Display Performance to High Quality

I am currently using InDesign CS3 with the ExtendToolScript 2.0
I have a script that imports XML to create business cards. Along with text it also imports the logo and picture for each employee. The script runs fine but I cannot figure out how to have the display performance setting to high quality so that the images to do not look pixelated on screen. I have tried the DisplayPerformancePreference setting and that did not work. Any suggestions or the line of code to accomplish this would me much appreciated.

Hi Justin,
// High quality display
app.activeWindow.viewDisplaySetting = ViewDisplaySettings.HIGH_QUALITY;
// Fast display
app.activeWindow.viewDisplaySetting = ViewDisplaySettings.OPTIMIZED;
// Typical display
app.activeWindow.viewDisplaySetting = ViewDisplaySettings.TYPICAL;

  • Placed TIFFs or JPEGs: Is there a High Quality Display setting?

    Does Illustrator CS5 have a setting like InDesign does where you can specify to make a placed TIFF or JPEG display in a high quality mode?

  • Slideshow with high quality

    I have a Photography Studio and I am trying to create client slideshows that display in very high quality. If I view the slideshow as created on iPhoto, the output is fantastic. If I burn a disc with iDVD (even on "Best Quality") the images as viewed from the DVD are not great. They become a little jaggy and some color shifting is evident. Not horrible, just not professional looking. My files are high quality .psd files. I have tried the process with high quality .jpg files, too.
    Is the answer a PRO level DVD compression product? Voodoo????
    I am at my wits end, but it was a short trip to get there.
    Thanks for any and all help,
    Louie

    Hi,
    I understand you want to create a DVD, right? Before you know how to get the best quality, you must choose what software to use . You can build slideshows using just DVD Studio Pro (DVDSP Folrum) and/or in a video timeline with FinalCutPro (FCP Forum).
    Each soft need a different approach ! You'll find a lot of posts with useful information in that forums and you can post your own when you decide what tool use for your project.
    If you want to build simple slideshows with just a transition or no transition at all, where the people can choose next prev and so picture, you can use DVDSP.
    If you want a more sofisticated presentation where you can control completly adnvanced trasitions and zoom/pan effects, you need to create it in a video application like FCP.
    You posted this question in Compressor forum, what is a tool for transcoding your video footage to, i.e. MPEG2 files to include in DVDSP.
    About quality, think that Standard Definition DVDs have a resolution of 720x480 pixels (NTSC) what probably is absolutly low resolution compared with your original pictures, but doesn't mean your pictures will look bad. Any comercial movie DVD you watch has that resolution ! The advantage is that every DVD player (computer and stan alone ones) will be able to play it.
    When you mention the iPhoto slideshow, I think you mean a slideshow you played directly from your computer what is a completly different approach that DVD.
    I just want to give a start point.

  • Compressor High Quality DVD Settings Gone!

    Just "upgraded' to 4.07 and now under "Disc Burning' only H.264 for Blu-ray and now only MPEG-2 single pass (low quality) are available.
    Where are the "Best Quality 90min" etc setting?
    Thanks.

    Yes. In the newer version, for disk burning, it's up to the user to create a custom setting and save for repeated use. So duplicate the setting and make whatever adjustments you require.
    The old MPEG-2 settings were 2 pass variable bit rate, 6.2 Mbps average and 7.7 Mbps maximum. The Blu Ray setting is actually much higher quality in C4.
    And there are a few things that C4 has that previous versions didn't offer, so on balance I would consider it an upgrade.
    Good luck.

  • Switching to Win 7 kills High Quality Display Performance option?

    I recently switched from Windows XP to Windows 7.
    I am running CS2. The files I work with contain placed PDF pages in InDesign. I have verified all links are good.
    The placed PDF pages contain some pages that are scans, and some containing live text.
    I have the default settings for InDesign set to High Quality Display, and also verified with the contextual menu that it is on currently for the document.
    Printing is fine, and export quality is fine. (Yep I restarted, an really familiar with this setting, and switched them all around while trying several times, I even cleared the object level display settings.)
    When I was on XP I got a nice crisp preview, now there is no difference between "Typical Display" and "High Quality Display", not even a flicker as I switch settings. It definitely changes if I select "fast Display" to they gray boxes.
    All my text from the placed pages, even the live text, is really jagged, even if you zoom in.
    My graphics driver is up to date, I tried eliminating my page file, and also making it bigger. It is currently system managed at about 8000 MB.
    I am on an HP Pro 3130, 2.93GHz, with 8 gigs of ram, and an ATI Radeon HD 4550 video card. I have the same monitors as before, an HP L1906 (dual, identical monitors) set at recommended resolution. I have tried it a 60 Hertz and at 75.
    Old files that looked fine before and also new files all share this issue.
    I am not sure what else to try.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance!

    CS2 is completely unsupported under Windows 7.
    Additionally with 8 gigs of RAM I imagine (hope) that you're using the 64 bit versions. This is another fly in the ointment.
    Sorry, but it's time to upgrade to CS5. And this is pretty much your last chance at upgrade pricing. CS2 is the earliest version eligible.
    I suggest you take advantage of it now before you have to pay full price.
    If you have the suite you must upgrade the entire suite. The best deal I know of is on Amazon where you can save $30 and get free shipping: http://amzn.to/byP8go
    If you have the stand alone version the upgrade is just about the same price everywhere. $199. Just make sure you by from an authorized retailer.

  • CS6 InDesign - Default display is high-quality. Four placed images are Illustrator files. Three images look the way they should - high-quality. One image looks pixelated. Why?

    InDesign CS6 - Default display is high-quality. All four placed images are Illustrator files. Three images look the way they should - high-quality. One image looks pixelated. Why?

    Not sure if this will help, but what is your inDesign file's "Transparency Blend Space" set to? It's under the edit menu.
    Also, when you are placing your images, are you selecting "Show Import Options" and making any selections there?

    Set up the Preflight panel so it checks image resolution. Ask your printer what the appropriate resolution is for your printing process, and set that in Preflight.

  • High Quality Display -appears corrupted

    Hello,
    I have a problem with High Quality display of placed TIF files (InDesign CS3 5.0.4). When viewed at high magnification the image is replaced by a solid black with diagonal black & white lines across the top section.
    I've read through the archives of display performance issues and tried the suggestions, but have been unsuccessful in resolving the issue:
    1) Restored preferences
    Ensured the following options are selected:
    2) Object Display Performance > High Quality
    3) View > Display Performance > Allow Object Level Display Settings
    Placement of the image is critical with what I do, so because the issue is normally associated with CMYK TIFs I can usually use a Gray TIF to position correctly, then replace this with the CMYK version. However, the more complex the layout becomes, the Gray TIF too becomes "corrupted" at a high zoom factor. Of course, the exported PDF is always true, but I really need to view truly at high magnification in InDesign.
    I close all other applications to ensure it is not a RAM problem, but to no avail. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Marvin,
    The TIF file in this example consists of a repeating sequence of adjacent columns in the following configuration: 8 white pixel, 7 black pixels.
    This pattern repeats across the width of the file.
    I've attached one of these files below. Please try to view it at 4000% when placed in InDesign.
    (Please note that this problem also occurs with photographic images as well).
    If I then crop the attached file in Photoshop, re-save and place in InDesign it will preview correctly at 4000%.
    If I leave it at its original dimensions, but convert to a Gray TIF, it will preview correctly -for a while, but eventually also become "corrupted". As I mentioned in my initial post, I've had to use a Grey TIF to get the placement correct, then replace with the CMYK TIF version. Saving with and without LZW compression makes no difference. The fact that the Grey version works temporarily has got me confused. As it happens, for the moment anyway, a narrow width file in CMYK is previewing okay, but then in the past I've used TIFs just ~100 mm wide and had the same problem.

  • Changing it from 'Typical Display' to 'High Quality Display.'

    To see this logo that is in Vector Image, I change it from 'Typical Display' to 'High Quality Display.'
    As you see this JPEG image, There's no change.
    What should I do?

    That looks as if it's just a really low quality image (like it was pullled from a website), and the view setting can't fix that. What's the effective resolution when you check the info panel?
    For what it's worth, this should not be a raster image at all, most likely, unless you are making a layout strictly for the screen.

  • Missing image when export to pdf & in High Quality Display

    Customer sent me this file so I have no history. Latest version of InDesign. There are a few images that when I select the box it does not show it as linked, but there is an image there. These same images/boxes disappear when I select View>High Quality Display & they are also missing when I make a pdf. Many other images are linked and work fine. What's going on with these other images/boxes? Embedded maybe? I don't have experience with embedded images, how do I get them to show when making a pdf?

  • HT1645 whether i use a DL DVD or just a DVD R, it tells me there was an error during multiplexing.  I have tried changing every setting, best performance, professional quality, etc. and still get the same error message every time i try to burn to dvd.

    whether i use a DL DVD or just a DVD R, it tells me there was an error during multiplexing.  I have tried changing every setting, best performance, professional quality, etc. and still get the same error message every time i try to burn to dvd.

    Welcome to the forums.
    Looks like that error message does refer to encoding (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1645) but a problem could be that your video has to be reloaded into iDVD if you started the encoding process and then switched settings.  You could start a new iDVD project, or try deleting encoded assets.
    Let's start from the beginning -- what length of video are you trying to fit on the DVD? (this will indicate what encoding options you have).  Double layer DVDs can be finicky and are used for video more than 2 hrs long.
    Use good quality media -- Verbatim is often recommended around here, and I've used Sony DVD-R with good results.

  • Rectangular Pixel Setting: Where? (also tips for higher quality?)

    The bottom line: Where can I find the setting -- in Final Cut, in Compressor, or in DVD Studio Pro -- to use rectangular instead of square pixels on export (or burn or wherever)?
    The story: I'm trying to burn a DVD for a friend of our kids' jazz concert.  It looks great on computer.  Once in DVD Studio Pro's simulate function, though, all the the performers look slightly stretched.  They look that way on TV, too.  My understanding is that this is due to the difference in computer and TV pixel shapes and that there is a setting somewhere to address it.
    These are my settings in Compressor. If that helps.  And, if anyone can recommend settings for higher quality (I'm getting some stepping which looks lousy on big TVs), I would love to hear them

  • HELP!! RT Menu No High Quality Setting?

    Is this a limitation of my machine.
    I Have a high quality option on my powerbook G4 1.5GHz, but none is shown on my dual 500GHz G4. Seems like they should be about the same. Am I missing a setting?

    If your original is HD material export to QuickTime Movie.
    There is no setting because AIC uses a fixed data rate.

  • Hi quality display performance

    I have a new mac Pro (Black cylinder) and 16 GBs of RAM. I know these days that's not a lot of RAM. With that in mind, when I set InDesign to High Quality preview everything just slows down drastically. Even with a super fast computer, this still occurs? Is that normal for others too?
