Logo is fuzzy

I am new to InDesign. I am creating a flyer and everything looks good and clear except my logo. It is clear in Photoshop but not when I place it on my flyer. I ordered a vector from a website and again everything looks really clear and perfect except my logo.
What am I doing wrong?
The logo was saved at 300dpi so it should be good.
Also, when I print the bleed is still showing a border. Is this just my printer? Or did I do something wrong when I set up the document? I think it may jus be my printer but I want to make sure before I go to Office Max and print.
Need help and ideas please.
And again, I am new to InDesign so please speak in lay terms.
Thank you.

By default, ID uses a low-resolution preview for placed graphics. Try View > Display Performance > High Quality Display.
You can set that as the default by changing it in your preferences with no files open.

Logos look fuzzy in Studio Pro but NOT in the original QT movie

I assembled a flying logo (Photoshop) over video in Adobe After Effects and exported it as a Quicktime movie. The Logo looks anti-aliased and great in both AE and the Quicktime movie. But when I look at it in DVD Studio Pro it looks horrible (jagged and fuzzy). The video looks OK. I've done this a hundred times and never had this problem before!

No I haven't burned a DVD yet. I was hoping that perhaps it was just the viewer resolution in Studio Pro and that the video would look better once it was burned to DVD. I just don't recall seeing this happen before (the viewer window has always looked pretty true) and I've been working with SP for years. Maybe I'm just getting old and my eyes are going.
Guess I should try to follow through on authoring and see what I get.

That must be the wrong one?? One minute.

Anyone else's boot logo fuzzy on the MacBook Pro with Retina?

I just purchased my rMBP last week and I just booted it up this morning and noticed the apple logo is fuzzy (like it's not optimized for the retina display) when booting? Anyone else have this as well?

Help, please?

Blue screen and and fuzzy

This has started recently and I can't get rid of it, On start up there are red lines down the page and the windows logo is fuzzy then when we log into anything, there is a permanent blue background, a light blue, gives me a headache after a while and I cannot get rid of it.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Try seeing if the display to an external monitor is the same or if that is clear. If the external display is good, then the weird screen means the display panel needs to be replaced, which we can help you do. If the picture is also bad on an external monitor it means the motherboard is going bad which is much more difficult to remedy. Hook up a regular external computer monitor to the external monitor port on the laptop and hit the Windows + p keys and you can select the laptop screen and the monitor or just the monitor.

Retina displays and image size

I am attempting to prepare images for a website launch. The site will incude a photography portfolio. My original assumption was to knock all the images down to 72 pixels, which is autmatically done in iPhoto. Being new to Apperature I do not see how to do this yet.
First question is, how do I control how many pixels per inch are exported, when I want to use an image on a website? (what are the steps please)
Next, now that the retina display is available on more than one iDevise what is the best resolution (if that is the correct term) to export images for the site so that the portfolio images are shown in highest quality?
Last question for now, and bit of a side thought: when it is said there are x-many more pixels, or higher resolution, what is the corect way of handling photographs assuming the first images on the site were 72 pixels per inch, 700X900? If I wanted to double this for the iFamily of products would I create images 144 pixels per inch, 700X900 or 72 pixels per inch, 1400X1800?

This confuses me if dpi is meaningless. What is it that developers do to make their icons and graphics better in apps when there is a new release? Are they increasing dpi or image dimensions? If it is image dimensions why is it that they appear the same on the display?
For example: my website logo looks fuzzy on the new retina display. The logo size is 110X360 pixels and it is set at 72 pixels per inch (verified using Preview). I have the original logo which measures 2212X648 at 300 pixels per inch and is set at 300 pixels per inch. There must be a way to clean up its appearance yet have it appear the same size.
The same applies to the images, although it does not seemto be as apparent. If I start at 300 pixels per inch on a 3000X2000 image, what settings would be optimal for the exported image on the site? Assuming dimensions of somewhere in the vicinity of 920X1380 to 960X1440 (if that makes sense).
Donald-
Start thinking in terms of the pixel dimensions of your output and mostly forget about the pixel density (ppi) of your output unless you are printing to hard copy.
E.g. your logo is 110x360 pixels; changing pixel density does not change the pixel dimensions. Your 110x360 pixels looks good at a certain size on a low rez display, but on a high rez display the 110x360 pixels must either be viewed smaller or uprezzed in the browser, in web design software or in the OS to view at the same size. As you know uprezzing reduces image quality. Quality digital images visually usually tolerate uprezzing better than small logos do.
To make your logo look good on the higher rez display you need to provide more pixels to start with. How software does the uprez/downrez thing is of course a challenge, and there are multiple different approaches; enough material for a couple of upper-division uni courses. A highe level app like Adobe flex, for instance, provides three resolution band choices (IIRC 160/240/320 ppi).
How any given designer proceeds is dependent on what tools he/she chooses to use.

Dock Logo 'Fuzzy' Since 9.1 Upgrade

Rather peculiar - annoying but not disastrous -issue since I upgraded to iTunes 9.1 ... it would appear that the dock logo for iTunes has become fuzzy since the upgrade.
Anyone else seen this? Anyone have a solution?
Illustrative image here: http://i41.tinypic.com/27wyh07.png
Message was edited by: iKerr - illustrative image added

Thanks for the response. I have tried that. No dice I'm afraid.
It looks like the image that is set as the icon for the iTunes application is the problem (see here: http://i39.tinypic.com/szx15w.png).
As I said, it's not disastrous so I don't think it's worth deleting iTunes and reinstalling it. Just a bit annoying and it would be good to sort it out.
Maybe I just need to get my hands on an iTunes logo that I can use to replace the 'fuzzy' one I have. Anyone willing to copy their one and upload it somewhere for me?

Problems adding logo or custom type to video clips - the result is fuzzy

Greetings! I'm new to iMovie (using '11) and am attempting to add my logo to video clips before uploading them to VIMEO. I have watched two tutorials, so I know the mechanics. In Photoshop I put my logo on a transparent background, added my web address below it with the type tool, sized it to 175x85px @ 72ppi, and used PS's Save for Web option, saving it as a PNG file to my desktop. I dragged my black logo onto a video clip in iMovie, but what I see is a badly out-of-focus logo over the video. I've tried multiple times and get the same result. So how do I make it look crisp? I've got a screen shot if you need to see it. Please Help! thanks, tom

no such thing as dot-per-inch in video - video has same res on any sized screen.
your Project has 1920x1080 pixel ... try this res.

Fuzzy Logo/Artwork when saved in Illustrator CS6

Is anyone else experiencing an issue when saving artwork in Illustrator on newer Macs?
I have spent the past 3 hours trying to figure out the issue. I have Saved to Web, Exported. I have tried png and gif files. The original file is fine, but when I go to resize it to fit my web and blog formats, it pixelates it and it looks terrible.
Please help!

allyandtuck,
Always create the raster image at the exact size(s) in pixels by pixels that it is going to be used at.
You will always have fuzzy/jagged images when you resize (apart from halving the size and similar reductions).
The safest way is Save for Web where you can set the Image Size. That window is also where you tick Art/Type Optimzed.
You should find out the right size for each website.
It may be noted that some websites have some strange conversion/resizing which destroys any quality you have obtained, whatever you do. That also applies to the Profile Images here in these forums.

Create PDF results in fuzzy logo

I created a doc (Word or Excel) and used my corporate logo in the header or footer. I tried numerous sizes and formats (PNG, JPEG & GIF). In Print Preview, the image looks sharp. However, when I create a pdf, the image is blurry. I've tried lots of things to fix this - tried all the different image formats, tried different sizes, tried changing the quality settings in the PDF preferences - no luck. Always a blurry image in the resulting PDF. Any ideas?

What is the DPI of the image? On the first page of the PDF settings is the DPI setting of the PDF. If it is something like 600 dpi, you may need a 300 dpi version of the image.

HELP! Fuzzy images and text in Muse

Hi
I am going to preface this post by admitting that I am a complete amateur, just trying to create a simple but work-able and professional looking website for my business.
I am new to Muse (previously used a similar program to create my sites) and have found navigating around the program quite easy. BUT my whole site looks fuzzy.. In 'design' mode and also when previewed (both in Muse and in browser).
I would really appreciate any help that you could give me. If there is a way to upload it to a temporary site for you to give me advice? Or if I can send the .muse file to someone to check for me?
Thank you very much in advance, I really appreciate it
Lauren
Here is a screen shot of the home master when previewed in Muse - you can see the logo, menu, background and text are all fuzzy...

Please click "Publish" enter a name for your site and click "OK". This will create a free temporary website on Adobe Business Catalyst. You can then post the URL for that site here for the community to look at.
A couple questions:
1) I expect you're on a Retina Mac?
2) Text appears to be images or System fonts? Whenever possible you want to use a Web Font. If none of the Web Font choices fit your need, then check the "Web Safe" fonts. If you still come up dry, then use a System font as a last resort. When using a system font Muse will convert it to an image. This will result in slower page load times in the browser and (in some cases) lower quality rendering of the type. Whenever possible, if you use a System font, you'll want to set the fill on the text frame to be opaque (a solid fill color, 100% opaque gradient or 100% opaque image that fills the complete text frame). If the text frame contains any transparent areas, then the image version of it will have lower quality anti-aliasing, edges, on the type.

Logo with Drop Shadow on Unwhite Background

This is simplified for this discussion. Imagine a logo that's a yellow circle with a line of red type across the center of the circle slightly wider than it's diameter. Now apply a black drop shadow to the type. I did this in ID CS4 and brought it into Illy, converted it all to outlines and made a few tweaks. All is fine if the logo is on a white background, But if it's not, there is a white box around on the drop shadow where the type is wider that the circle.
Is there such a thing as a vector drop shadow?
In most instances, I will be using this in other ID programs so I might be able to bypass the Illy step and just copy the logo from one ID document to another. But the logo is also being sent out to others to use and their backgrounds might not be white.
Suggestions?

There is nothing wrong with drawing spot graphics in InDesign. (Why do you think it has tools for doing so?)
I did this in ID CS4 and brought it into Illy
What does "brought it into" mean?
If you copied/pasted, check your InD clipboard prefs. Do you have the option for copying PDF content turned on?
The reason such things work from AI to InD is because InD is importing the PDF content embedded in the AI file (or copied to the clipboard). The same thing works in the opposite direction.
But going either direction, the conversion to PDF "normalizes" the objects that are created using app-specific features. So so-called "live effects" become simpler constructs. The kind of constructs PDF can handle differ with the various versions of PDF, too.
Is there such a thing as a vector drop shadow?
Of course there is.
The more pertinent question is "Is there such thing as vector transparency?", which is necessary for the soft-edged fuzzy effects which most people mean nowadays when they say "drop shadow." The two shadows above are all vector. The top hard-edged one was created by the Drop Shadow Filter. The soft-edged fuzzy one is a Blend. They were drawn in Illustrator, exported to PDF (without AI editability), and then opened again in AI. They were still all vector objects after the round-trip to PDF.
So can the rasterization of transparency applied to vector objects be postponed until RIP time? (Everything is eventually rasterized—it's a question of when.) Evidently so. Again, the capabilities would differ between different PDF and (I assume) Postscript versions.

2011 Macbook Pro white screen after apple logo and spinning wheel

Hey there guys,
My 2011 Macbook Pro has encountered some problems. Firstly while i was at school, i opened up my computer, usually the computer would require you to type your password, but my login page became fuzzy, white lines everywhere. So I restarted my computer and everything was okay. After that i came back home, my computer was running fine, after surfing the net for a few hours, my whole computer suddenly became blue. So what i did was i just restarted my computer, after that my computer would boot up Apple logo would come up, the spinning wheel would also come up, after 30-40 secs it would turn black screen and come back on as a white screen and would just stay like that. It would be on the white screen. Tried some rebooting ways but all didn't work.
1st: I wanna know whats the problem?
2nd: Is this a harddrive failure? (Because i have alot of important documents and personal stuff in my hard drive and i hope it isn't a crashed hardrive)
Thanks for your help..
PS: Im running on Moutain Lion, but i have no idea what version it is.

Problem with my logo

I created the logo of my blog cs6 photoshop mac with the slogan text is a little fuzzy, how?
well thank you

Hello,
thank you for your reply
here is the image I create text with text tools.

Edges of logo in AI, EPS or PSD are not crisp (PE4, Illustrator CS2)

When importing files of the following types (AI, EPS and PSD), the logo I have placed still looks slightly pixelated/fuzzy. Same thing goes for any title slides I have created in Illustrator and imported into PE4. I did outline the text before saving to the different file types.
I read this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/390820?tstart=30 and tried the suggestion but it didn't seem to work for me. I am working in 16:9.
Any suggestions? I have a logo at the beginning and end of the video, and it is smaller and overlay throughout the video (watermark).
I am placing them at their proper size (example, for the overlay, I created the image in Illustrator, small and to the bottom right so that I didn't have to scale or move the location of the image once in PE4).
Many thanks in advance - this board has been invaluable to me.

I may have misspoken in that thread, and not used the correct terminology. I have no idea where I got the 960x540 number from, TBH.
The original size was 1920x1080, H264 codec.
I used SuperC to make them same size (just verified in WMP), using the FFMPEG encoder, which uses the CyberLink Video/SP Decoder (PDVD7) CODEC.
I used the preset for NTSC-DV-Widescreen for each project.
When I Interpret Footage, it tells me the PAR is square for the video clips.
I did scale everything to 102.5 percent to get rid of the very thin black lines to the left and right of the clips.
So I'm guessing that everything is OK with the files, project presets, etc, as the Flash output looks great. The only issue is the title slides that I want to drop in.
So, I guess my issue now is, what size (dimensions) file do I create is PS to create a title that is properly sized for this project? Do I go in and create a 720x480 file with the 1.2 PAR? That seems to give me a more correct looking size? Wow, I feel as though I have completely over complicated this question!
Print was so easy - this is my page size, I need a bleed, outline the fonts, I'm done!
