Loss of detail with cut-outs

We have just started using an external company to do our cut-outs and we have found for example with complicated hair images, that when we place the 300 dpi images on to a page in indesign and then make the pdf a considerable amount of hair detail is lost. Any ideas why this is?

Where? Attachements are disabled. You can link to an external server, or just tell us what the settings are.
If the files are being downsized in ID, then there's a really good chance the detail is lost due to downsampling (and it may get lost in a reduction in Photoshop, too). Details that are only one pixel wide will either be retained or discarded by the downsampling, and if retained, may get merged into some other adjacent one-pixel detail. You can't reduce the number of pixels without giving up something.

Hi, I'm running mountain lion of a macbook pre 13 inch. I have connected my new apple tv 3 to it so that i can home share my music to play on my apple tv.

How should I cut out people on bicycles with a background of a forest?

Dear Everyone,
I have an image of three people on bicycles in a forest - I need to cut the people/bicycles out of the background for use in a photo collage. Since the nooks and crannies in and around the bicycle are so small, I am not sure that even the pen tool is the best method to use. What do you suggest?
Thanks so much!!

Could you post a lores-version and maybe a fullres-detail (with the camera icon)?
Clipping intricate stuff out of a richly structured background (as wood probably is) is usually a difficult task, but seeing the image might give a better idea of how bad the situation is.

Sound Cutting Out on Standard Def Channels with or wthout DVR

Hi!
We are having occasional sound drop-out problems. They seem to only be happening on standard def channels although we have a hi-def box. (We often record sitcoms and kids shows in standard def to save room on the DVR.)
The problem is that the sound cuts out for a fraction of a second (just long enough to notice) at random spots. If we rewind and play it back, it still drops out in the same spot so it seems the issue is with the signal getting to the box from the outside line, not an hdmi cable issue as I've seen mentioned elsewhere.
The issue occurs whether we're watching a previously recorded show or a "live" one (understanding that even the live shows are delayed a few seconds to enable the DVR to record it).
I've seen other sound issues related to switching channels but this is not the case here.
I've also had it happen on a small TV with no box. We just have the coax going right into the display to watch standard def network shows on it. This leads me to think it's a signal issue, not a DVR one.
Anyone else have this and/or have any luck in getting it resolved?
Thanks!
Jeff

Audio cuts out at times for a few seconds with VOD

While watching VOD the audio will cut out at times when the program is playing. I have reset the boxes, and router with no change. I have read on a post that someone had pixilation issues and the Verizon techs hooked up a cat5e from the ONT directly into the router, which solved her issues. Is this something I can do, and will it help my issues?
Thanks, Charlie

Today I tried to find the answer to my question, again... And tot my surprise I found it!! When I played music with winamp I saw in the systemtray that the Creative volumecontrol actually did mute the sound automatically for a few seconds. The reason for this I don't know. In de surround mixer I clicked standard. Music is playing ok now., no more interupptions. Seems to me something is wrong with the Creative software.....

I have a iPhone 4S and when watching videos on the internet sound cuts out as the video is playing. The rest of the video plays with no sound. Sometimes when I pause It and play again sound comes back but not all the time. can anyone help?

The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check.

Mac Mini Audio Intermittent over HDMI, Cuts out with Assertion in kernel.log

Hello. I've been having trouble with a mac mini (Mid 2011) that I bought on Thursday. It's running OSX 10.7. The Mac Mini is the $599 unit.
I've got it hooked up to my Sony BRAVIA HDTV (also this year's model) via HDMI, with audio configured to be delivered via HDMI to the TV alongside video. Initially the audio will play through my TV, but after an hour or two of watching something, it will cut out, and there will be no more sound coming out of the TV from the mac. Ultimately, the only way I can fix it is to reboot the Mac Mini. I've also observed that at about the same time sound cuts out, the following error message appears in kernel.log:
Aug 12 19:21:40 joshs-Mac-mini kernel[0]: Sound assertion "0 != result" failed in AppleHDAWidget at line 3957 goto handler
Aug 12 19:22:10 --- last message repeated 5 times
As far as I know, assertions failures usually mean software problems (bugs). I suspect I may be encountering a kernel-level bug in Lion, as this error message is showing in kernel.log.
The following is a list of diagnostic steps I've taken:
- I've double-checked the sound output device in preferences. It didn't spontaneously change from SONY TV (HDMI) after sound cut out.
- I've tried changing output to the internal speakers. It plays sound from the mac mini (as expected). When I change it back to HDMI, still no sound from the TV.
- I've tried turning off and back on the tv. No effect.
- I've tried unplugging and replugging the HDMI cable. No effect.
- I've tried replacing the HDMI cable with two other alternates. No effect.
- I've tried other HDMI inputs for my TV with HDMI attached. No effect.
- Note: I've got a ps3 and xbox360 on the TV that has successfully used the HDMI inputs and cables tested on. They've never had this type of problem, so I don't think there's a problem with the TV.
- I've tried rebooting the mac and resetting the "PRAM" (Command-Option-P-R before the grey screen on bootup). Sound still cuts out after a while.
- All updates are applied.
Does anybody else have any ideas about what I could try to fix this? This problem is pretty much a deal breaker, as rebooting the mac mini mid-movie kind of destroys the movie-watching experience.
Thanks

I'd just like to jump in on this thread to report exactly the same problem.
2011 Mac Mini (the 2.5GHz i5 model) running Lion, Sony Bravia TV, HDMI sounds cuts out after a while with the console error "Aug 15 18:30:25 Mini kernel[0]: Sound assertion "0 != result" failed in AppleHDAWidget at line 3957 goto handler".
Interestingly, after the error occurs, I can still get 5.1 sound through Plex, but not through Quicktime. 2.0 sound and system sounds all fail until I reboot the system.
Any help would be appreciated. I would prefer not to have to return the Mini.
Thanks.

Logic Pro X with OSX Mavericks 10.9.2 Audio output cuts out 3-5 minutes into running software?

Logic Pro X with OSX 10.9.2 Audio output cuts out 3-5 minutes into running software how can I fix this?

Well, first....
Are you using any 3rd party plugins in your project?
If not then my suggestion wont be the cause......
To see which plugins you have installed (Though it's only if they are being actually used in the project that would cause your issue..) you can see them via the Audio Unit Manager found under the Logic Pro X menu bar..... Logic Pro X..... Audio Unit Manager
Also, any reason you are still using 10.9.2 instead of updating to 10.9.5?
Do you get any message when the audio cuts out?
Are you only using internal audio hardware or are you using an external Audio Interface? if so, which one?

New iphone 4s speaker keeps cutting out on calls and have to put it on external speaker, this is happening to others I have called today with the same phone. Is there a fix?

My wife has a new 4s and quite often her phone speaker cuts out during a call and she has to put it on speakerphone. Telus tech support tells me this is a known issue yet there doesn't seem to be an update to the phone available in itunes yet. So far today we have talked to two other people who live in our area with the same phone and same issue. One went so far as to buy a jawbone for $150 to work around it not knowing it was a software issue. Is this a software fix or do we need to do a hardware swap? Is there a fix out or on the way?

My gf was having the same issues and also with a big echo every time I called her either from my 4S or even fron a land line as per other comments here. They told he to take it into the Apple store and they reset the software and now it's working fine.....so far.
Now today my bluetooth earpiece has decided to stop working for some unknown reason and then the last person that called me said my phone keep cutting out. I don't know whether that was because I had to turn off my bluetooth to answer the phone or what.
I suspect Apple will be sending out an update to fix some of these reported issues but in the meantime the local Apple store seems to be the only option. Just hoping I don't have to take that option as that would require a huge inconvenience for me as neither of the two stores in the Vanvouver area are remotely close to me.
Good luck.

After recent upgrade to Yosemite on Macbook air bluetooth audio cuts out and associated video stops with audio. Likewise with airplay and Apple TV. I have deleted all my saved wifi connections and restarted numerous times. I do not expect a resolutio

After recent upgrade to Yosemite on Macbook air bluetooth audio cuts out and associated video stops with audio. Likewise with airplay and Apple TV. I have deleted all my saved wifi connections and restarted numerous times. I do not expect a resolution from the community, but hope to get the attention of Apple engineers. If you are having same problems or have a miracle cure I am all ears.

May start my own thread, but I'm having similar issues.
I've been using an old iMac (running 10.7.5) and Apple TV for years with no issues. Last week I bought a new Macbook Pro running Yosemite and have had audio issues multiple times. The weird thing is that sometimes it works flawlessly, other times (like now) I spend half an hour just trying to get a song to play.
My issues are: When I got to "computers" in Apple TV to stream my music, my music is sometimes chopper or intermittent, and I seen to know when it's going to happen based on the status wheel just before it plays. When I choose a song, the status wheel will spin for an unusually long time, usually an indicator that the audio is either not going to work, or stutter.
When it does finally pull up a song, the playhead sits at the beginning of the song for a good 3-5 seconds before actually playing. Then, when it starts playing, it's all downhill. It will play a few seconds, drop out, play a few more seconds, drop out, and then ultimately the playhead will keep moving across the song as if it's playing, but there's no audio.
Again, this is a new phenomenon never experienced by me. I've tried everything I could think of, some of them all at once:
• restart Apple TV
• restart Macbook Pro
• quite iTunes/open
• turn off Home Sharing on iTunes then reconnect it
• unplugging and cycling both my modem and router
None of these have alleviated the problem.
The odd thing is, like this morning, the audio started up perfectly and never gave me any issues. It wasn't until later in the day that it started. Perhaps after the macbook pro had been put to sleep? Not sure.
Regardless, this is an annoying trait, one that's new to me and my system (as stated, worked flawlessly until my new purchase), and is 100% limited to either a) the macbook pro b) Yosemite or c) both of them.

I want to cut out a head from a photo and insert it into another photo again. In the head hair flying in the wind and the blue sky can be seen between the hairs. This blue sky I want to remove, so I can only use the head with hair flying in another photo.

Make your selection and then use Refine Edge.

Help Please! PNG cut out in Photoshop placed into indesign printing with colored box

I have cut out an shape in photoshop, saved as a png and inserted into an indesign file. When I print, a discolored box around the PNG appears. I have 5 total documents done the same way, only one is behaving this way. Happens when I print from PDF also.
I have attached an image, the other 4 in the set behave just fine. I am on a mac, printing to an HP.
Thanks so much!

I think you are a Windows user, but this AppleScript will get the embedded profiles of any placed pngs and update the png's Image Settings profile with its embedded profile:
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS6"
    tell active document
        repeat with x in links
            --the image
            set i to parent of x
            --check for pngs
            if link type of x is "Portable Network Graphics (PNG)" then
                --the png's path
                set fp to file path of x
                --use image events to get profile, faster than PS
                try
                    tell application "Image Events"
                        launch
                        set mypng to open fp
                        set n to name of profile of mypng as string
                    end tell
                end try
                set profile of i to n
            end if
        end repeat
    end tell
end tell

Problem with Cross Dissolve: The video cuts out during the transistion

I'm encountering a problem with the Cross Dissolve transistion wherein during the period in which the transition should be happening the video instead drops out. There's plenty of heads and tails available on both clips, but as soon as the timeline hits the start of the transition "from' clip cuts out, revealing the background or black if there's no background underneath and then the "go-to" clip cuts in at the end of the transition.
Any help would be appreciated.

I've been having this issue and it's driving me crazy. It's random, that some cross dissolves work, and others don't. Seems to affect AVCHD footage. Adobe seems to be aware of the issue.
The work around that I've seen posted by a forum user "Mitch W" is to apply a GPU accelerated effect to one of the clips in the pair. The effect can be turned to "0" so as not to alter the video. The act of doing this, makes premiere see the clip differently, and render the cross dissolve correctly.
Fast Blur, set to "zero", seems to do the trick, and allows it to work with CUDA acceleration turned on. I did notice that the work around was broken by changing the playback resolution in the viewer window. In that situation, I had to apply the GPU effect to the other clip in the pair to make it work again.
I don't know what will happen if I change my playback resolution again...

Safari cutting out with iOS 7

I am having problems with safari completely cutting out now that I have switched to IOS 7

In case anyone's wondering, getting a brand spanking new iPad Air does NOT solve these problems. I got my iPad
Air last week, and I am still having these issues with Safari and iOS7. They seem SOMEWHAT mitigated (e.g., I have been able to play the occasional embedded video on some sites that crashed in the past, but then the same pages will crash at other times.) But these problems are still cropping up several times a day, which is several times to many. (And they persist even after installing the most recent iOS update. If anything, they may be a little worse on the iPad Air after that update than before.)
To recap, the main issues are:
Safari tends to crash on a regular basis, with no apparent pattern regarding particular sites or content thereon.
Crashes are especially common, though not limited to, sites that include embedded video, especially if you try to play said videos or just accidentally click on them.
Switching between Safari and certain other apps will cause Safari to "reset" itself, causing you to be logged out of any sites you happen to be logged into.
Switching between the above mentioned apps and Safari will generally also cause those apps to "reset" themselves, meaning lag time when multitasking back to them and losing your place in the other app, needing to start over.
Using a different browser does not necessarily avoid these problems.
It is very frustrating that these problems persist even after upgrading to Apple's latest and greatest hardware. I was always planning to get the newest iPad, and my excitement about it was already tempered by the idea that the new iOS seemed to make the upgrade necessary rather than just desirable. But to shell out the money for the iPad Air and STILL have these problems is getting ridiculous. APPLE, PLEASE FIX THIS!
