Leopard Preview Photos not sharp at screen size

I notice that when you double click a photo in Leopard, the image in Preview is not always sharp. If you expand the image to 100%, then it is sharp.
It was never like this in Tiger.
The image is not being re-sampled correctly to fit the screen.
If you open the same image in IPhoto, then it is sharp at screen size.

Everybody, report preview problems to apple at:

My biggest problem in preview 4.0 is it freezes while trying to view large images across four apple LCD's. Sometimes I see a gray screen.

Cropping preview does not match output, constrained sizes.

I have two separate problems with the Crop tool. The first is that the crop preview does not match the what shows up after I exit crop mode.
Screen shot of to the preview: tinyurl.com/o9qxcy
After hitting "done": tinyurl.com/prtsrw
What is really strange is that I can work around this by expanding the crop size to almost the full size (less ~1 pixel off the bottom) and iMovie crops to the width of the original clip. If I expand it to full size of the preview area the crop still slices to the width, but it is then centered.
The second problem is that cropping will not let me expand the crop beyond a certain size. I have no work-around for this.
Screenshot of the max size I can select with the crop tool: tinyurl.com/pjqjno
Both of these happen both the project area and the clips drawer.

Bump.

Please tell me you can use pan/zoom tool for photo slideshow with photos not cropped to screen?

I'm new to Mac and Premiere Elements (former PC/Sony Vegas Movie user), and am trying to do a Ken Burns type photo slideshow wherein my photos are left in their normal cropped state. Right now it seems all photos get cropped to fill the screen size (i.e. 16:9). I saw where you could uncheck the scale photo size to media (or something to that effect) under the general setting in preferences, but using the pan/zool tool still shows photos cropped to fill screen. I realize conflicting aspect ratio will result in black bars top/bottom or left/right of frame, and that's ok/what I want. I'm hoping this is doable? Thanks, Jim

The primary question that I have is what is the end product...DVD-VIDEO Standard on DVD disc, DVD-VIDEO Widescreen on DVD disc or other?
Let us assume for now DVD-VIDEO Widescreen on DVD disc. The next question that falls into line is the one relating to what you describe as an assortment of photos going into this project...what are the pixel dimensions (what range of...) and aspect ratio. For aspect ratio, are we talking 4:3 or 16:9. How many of these photos are landscape oriented or how many portrait oriented.
In generalities at this point, I would ask you to look at:
a. bringing your photos appropriately sized into a Premiere Elements project with an appropriate project preset.
b. leaving Edit Menu/Preferences/General with its Default Scale to Frame Size with a check mark.
c. in the workspace, scaling the photos to just fill the space in the Edit Mode Monitor
d. then one by one pan and zoom a photo with the Pan and Zoom Tool.
If you use this Tool, you should get good results. One consideration is that the process results in the Timeline photo having a much larger duration AFTER than BEFORE. If you see any pros in using this tool for your purposes, then you might want to explore the technique that I described for applying a pan and zoom effect from this Tool to more than one photo at a time.

You also might want to explore fxEffects/Presets for horizontal and vertical pans or zoom. The catch in the presets is that you can apply a pan OR zoom, not a pan AND zoom to each photo.
Keyframing of Scale (for Zoom) and Position (for Pan) should be explored under Applied Effects/Applied Effects Palette/Motion Panel expanded/Scale and Position properties.
With more details from you, we could go step by step in any of the above.
We will be watching for your progress.
Thanks.

Preview photos not showing

Hi,
I'm running a blog where I use a photo on top of every new entry. These photos always show up in the preview on the first page (showing the latest five blog entries) but by mistake I've done something to two of the entries that made this preview disappear. I've tried to recreate them, but it doesn't help. If I go to the entry itself, the photo is there OK, but not on the firs page's preview.
Pls see here: http://web.me.com/mans/langert/QAJAQ/QAJAQ.html
Entries 40 and 41 should have preview photos, but doesn't (42 has no photo in it).
What could be wrong here?
Thanks...
/Mans

Mans ~ It has to be the original placeholder — not one copied from another post. ...Unless someone else comes up with an idea, I think you'll have to recreate 40 & 41 anew — copying & pasting the original text and dragging in the photos to the new entries. Then delete 40 & 41.

Indoor photos not sharp

When taking indoor photos(i.e.: wedding reception) with EOS50D& EFS 17-55mm f2.8 zoom lens,in manual or automatic mode, the shots are not clear,not sharp and a little too dark. ISO1600,1/125th shutter and f4.5,auto focus. Can anyone help me? It would seem for a camera of this caliber, shooting in "auto" would be a breeze!!! Exposure level indicator smack in the middle. Thank you.
Solved!

If you are relying on AUTO to get it right I strongly suspect you don't know what you're doing. Low light & possible subject movement requires a proper understanding of photography & the rules relating to getting a great photo. Auto doesn't do that.
This is harsh. Did you read the OP's post? She/He said he tried it in manual too. The comment about Auto was to suggest that a fully automatic mode is generally reliable for well adjusted images. I see no reason to suggest that he lacks a "proper understanding of photography.." and the rest of the dressing down you offer.

Photos not placing in correct size?

I've just started playing around with this, so please excuse my ignorance. I've made a cover photo in Photoshop. It's 768 x 1024 at 72 ppi. Saved as a Jpeg image. When I place that photo in InDesign, it does not fill the page which is also 768 x 1024. Any advice?

for best results use "Save for web & devices".
maybe you have a document setup up in print rendition and using mm for
document size, wich will result in difficult dpi conversion.
better don't care about dpi anymore, your are designing for the screen where
one pixel equals one pixel, there is nothing to convert via inch or so.
just work with pixel dimensions at all times and use "Save for Web &
Devices", that should give you the best results.

IPhone 4 caller photo not filling up screen

Ever since I have had my iPhone 4, contact's photos would show up full screen when that contact called me. Know, out of the blue, only some show up full screen, others are small photos on the top right hand corner of the display. I know this may sound petty but I miss the full screen feature as I get a lot of calls. It also worries me as there is an inconsistency whereas some photos from contacts are full screen and others are not. Just an FYI-I use Mobile Me and when I add a photo to a contact I do it through Address Book on my MBP.
Please help if you have any insight or have heard of this problem before. Please email me at [email protected] Thanks in advance!

For full size, I think the photo has to be added to the contact on the iPhone, not the computer. Select the photo in the Picture app and press the icon at the lower-left to assign it to a contact.

Photos not sharp in photoshop express

When I view photos on my Adnoir device using the built in gallery app the photos are very clear and sharp. When I view them in Phtoshop Express however, they are much softer, almost blurry. Why is this?

Thanks for posting your observations here. You are correct, images viewed in Photoshop Express on Android devices can appear less sharp than when viewed in Gallery. There are reasons for this: performance and available memory. In order to display the image quicker, we are displaying a lower resolution version of the image. This does not effect the actual image though, so if you export the image it will maintain the expected resolution.
We hope to make improvements in this area and are investigating how to optimize this for our next update.

Is there anything I can do about the photos not enlarging to full size?

I recovered my iPhoto library from time machine backup. As I changed my HDD. but some image are not comming full size. how I can get the file back???

How did you "recover" your photos from TM? Did you use TM to restore the iPhoto library or did you use the finder to copy your iPhoto library over?

FW: Photo not showing on screen in photoshop 6 trial version

I have downloaded the trial version of Photoshop 6, but when I open a photo in photoshop only a grey and white screen shows up, but on the little tab to the right I can see the photo in the background tab. How do I get the photo to show in the big screen?

Michael,
It does not appear that the info has Pasted correctly.
Are you accessing the Forum via an e-mail client, or via a portable device? If so, there can be issues with those two types of connections. You might want to access the Forum via an Internet browser, and try again.
Good luck,

My computer's Itunes photos not listed in screen saver.

It was working until I switched folders but since then its not. I have turned on Home Sharing on both my Apple TV and in iTunes on my computer and selected a valid folder with photos in it. Both PC and AppleTV are wired to my network router and I tested my connections and they are working. The computer is on with iTunes running. Still under Photos in screen saver it list only National Geographic, Flowers, Flixr, iCloud. no "Computer". Am I missing something?

Yes all that has been done.
In fact I had it set up and working in the past but soon as I tried to change which folders are shared none show up. I shared the photos, rebooted apple tv and the router... Nothing.

Why is Photo not placing at correct size?

I have only in the past day had this issue, but when I place an image into Muse saved for web through photoshop and illustrator, it places as a much smaller image. I tried doubling the size of the image, but it seems to shrink down to a default size. I tried scaling it up, but it is at "%100" and becomes much too "pixely".
Thanks
James

Hi Zenos,
I've discovered what is causing the problem, but I still need a way to fix it, if possible.
The cause of the problem is that in Windows 7 Control Panel > Display I have set the size of "text and other items" to 150% (otherwise everything is much too small too read on my screen's recommended resolution of 1920×1080).
I discovered that Irfan Viewer was also displaying at the incorrect resolution, but I managed to solve that problem by right-clicking on the IrfanView.exe icon and following Properties > Compatibility and selecting "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings".
I tried the same procedure with Thunderbird, but it made no difference. It is still displaying at the incorrect resolution.
Any suggestions?
Regards,
Catsix

ITunes window not aligning to screen size

Ever since the update for iTunes my window is always larger, eather by width when its maximized or by hight when restore down. It requires me to restore down, then move the window so i can see the edges, then reduce the size of the window, then move the window so all of its edges are on the screen and finaly maximize to fit the iTunes window to the screen.
Im running windows 7 @ 1920 by 1080 screen res. The prooblem started ever since the latest update, just wondering if this is because mac is now using the red eye or something screen which is i think just over the 1920x1080.

You likely have Zoom on... double tap with three fingers to turn it off. Go into Settings > General > Accessibility to disable it.
