Low resolution on stills in imovie

I uploaded stills (high resolution) into iMovie, but the short movie (made with the stills) has a very bad resolution (the colors are unsaturated, grainy, etc) and it's worst when I export it in You Tube or Quick Time.
Please help

You can not "override" it - you can ignore it and order - Apple will not stand behind the quality of low resolution photos

High resolution PDF still generates low resolution drop shadows?

I have created a series of print ads in InDesign CS5.5 to be run in magazines, and at the bottom of the page is the company's logo, with a drop shadow applied to it within InDesign. Nothing strange there. Upon exporting the PDF, I use the Press Quality settings which by default are made to create 300 dpi PDFs. The only changes I make in the settings is adding bleed and crop marks, I don't change anything that could affect the resolution or transparency settings. But still, the magazine's print-technician always replies that the shadows in my document have a low resolution.
Up until now I have told him to not worry and run it anyway, and the results have been fine - I haven't noticed any problems with the quality of the print in the magazine. But it really annoys me that I keep getting these error messages - I want to create perfect PDFs! Why on earth are my shadows ending up as low resolution images?
The only thing I can imagine might be a sign of an issue is under the Advanced-tab in my Export-settings. The Transparency Flattener section (which I, to be honest, am not quite sure what it is) is set to medium resolution, and is greyed out - meaning I can't change it to high resolution. Could this be what is causing it? And if so, how do I fix it?

I don't spend a lot of time with Acrobat's preflight, but it looks like it assumes what the flattener preset will be at output even though it could be anything.
The default Press Quality preset exports live transparency with the flattener grayed out as Medium and it looks like Acrobat preflight considers that even though nothing has been flattened yet. So, here I've made a 3" sqaure box and exported it with Press Quality and prefilght tells me it's roughly 200ppi (which by the way is plenty for a dropshadow):
If I change the preset to High (set the Compatibility to 1.3, which lets you set the flattener to High, then reset compatibility to 1.4):
Then Acrobat's preflight tells me the shadow will have more resolution:

Ipad suddenly runs only in a low resolution. Did an itunes restore, but still same problem.

Ipad2 is stuck in a low resolution, icons are large, can't see normal screens. I shut down and restarted the ipad but did not help. Did an itunes Restore, but still same problem. It's like the resolution is now stuck at a high resolution. Anyone seen this problem?

Yes, I just discovered it before getting your reply. Evidently I 3-fingered the screen without knowing it.
I thought I had corrected my "low/high" error, but guess not. ( my first try at posting).
Your comment is right on target.
Thanks, problem solved.

My address book and iPhone pics have become low resolution. Is there a way I can prevent this from happening when I start out with a higher resolution picture?

I guess I squeezed my entire issue into the subject line. lol When I sync my iphone to my laptop I notice that all my address book pics and iphone pics have become lower resolution, even though I started out with the resolution that I really needed to produce decenty address book printouts. I doubt I can correct the losses of resolution that have occurred but can anyone help me figure out how to prevent future losses? Thank you!

Plugins usually are installed externally to Firefox. However, you can disable them in Firefox so that Firefox does not use them.
SearchReset is supposed to automate the task of resetting certain preferences, but you still can edit them manually if necessary.
'''''Address Bar Search'''''
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''keyword''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Right-click '''keyword.URL''' and choose Reset. This should restore Google as the default for address bar search.
Does that work?
'''''Search Box'''''
Usually it works to choose your preferred search engine from the drop-down. To remove an unwanted search engine plugin, usually the Manage Search Engines... choice at the bottom of the drop-down takes care of it.
Do either of those work?
There might be another way to hijack that search box; I think some of the other frequent responders probably are more familiar with it than I am.

I transferred some photos to my iphone via email and they come up in camera roll as low resolution. How do I fix this?

I transferred some photos to my iphone via email and they have very low resolution. First I sent them from iPhoto with highest resolution, then I transferred them to my desktop in highest resolution and added them to an email, opened the email and saved to my Camera roll. They all look like low resolution photos.This is the exact method I have used to transfer photos in the past with my 4S and never had a problem. What am I doing wrong? Is this a bad camera? HELP please! Thank you!

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!

I'm trying to do a book using iphoto 11 (9.4.2), but i don't get a low resolution warning. Why? and how can i get the warning., i'm trying to do a book using iphoto 11 (9.4.2), but i don't get a low resolution warning. Why? and how can i get the warning.

I'm trying to do a book using Iphoto, but it no longer gives a low resolution warning like it used to in the older versions.
I don't know why it doesn't anymore, (or maybe I have to add it on somehow??) but it makes it difficult to know how much I can
zoom in on a picture and still have it be good printable resolution.
Does anyone know how to resolve this or add the warning to the latest version of iphoto?
Thanks

With iPhoto 9 the low resolution for photos warning has been dropped. The only warning one will get now is for text that has overflowed the text box:
As Larry suggested send a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html to get it back. That's a big omission in my opinion.
You can determine what your minimum resolution is for your images (if all taken from the same camera) by dividing the pixel dimensions by the size of the larges frame in the book which would be 8.5 x 11. If it's at or above 150 dpi you'll be above Apple's previous resolution warning limit.

Low Resolution Warning on Calendar Pictures

I am in the process of creating a calendar using iPhoto '08. However, some of the pictures that I have added have a low resolution warning in the top right corner. I have tried cropping the photos, fitting the photo to frame size, zooming out, and reverting the photo to the original copy (all the things they told me to do on the Apple website), but the yellow yield signs are still not going away. Is there any way to fix this without resorting to "fitting the photo to frame size"? TIA!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What are the pixel dimensions of the photos you are using?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

Low resolution photos from Revel

Hi,
I hope this is the correct forum and that this question has not already been delt. I have search but dont find any solution.
I have decided to stop using dropbox "camera upload" and switch to Adobe Revel.
I seams to work great except for the fact that the photo inside Photoshop elements is a lower resolution than the original taken on my iPhone. This kind of defeats the point to me! Dropbox uploaded the full resolution pic to my PC.
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to get the original quality version on my PC using Revel. I am not interested in the "social media" side of it it.
My primary use for Revel is to get my FULL / ORIGINAL image inside Photoshop elements. Dropbox, Onedrice and Googledrive do a great job but at the end of the day I still need to import the pictures. Revel just seems cleaner if I can get it to work.
BTW, if I download a photo via the Revel website it is the original so my iPhone is updoading as it should.
Any help will be appreciated
Kind Regards
Jason

Hi Jon,
Thank so much for your reply. That portion I comfortable with, but was thinking I could take photos with my mobile phone and have them sync to a folder on my PC as my originals. I dont want to download photo's from my phone. It does work as desired exept the fact that the photos resolution is lower on the PC than the "originals" on the Revel website.
If I right click on the photo in PE and select "download original from revel" it works, but sort of defeats it purpose in my case.
It seems like Photoshop is not importing the pic at the original resolution. ie to me I would expect a "import original resolution" inside photoshop.
I am using PE12.
I dont like to compare PE revel to apple iCloud, but this is how their software works. If I take a photo on my iPhone its on my mac in full res within minutes to do with as I please. This is what I was thinking Revel could do for me and more. Dropbox, Onedrive and Googledrive all support this, but then I have to import it into PE.
Once again. Thanks for taking the time to reply. Much appreciated!!
Kind Regards

ID CS6 shows low resolution on placed AI file.

I placed an AI, full vector, file into ID. Didn't see any problems until I ran preflight and it popped up with a low resolution warning. The vector is scaled down inside ID, but still shows a 90 ppi. I couldn't find any placed images in the AI file, which is a very busy kid's logo (below). I tried googling the situation but haven't found any solutions. Anyone know what's going on or how to fix this?

Solved this problem. It seems like some of the gradients are actually embedded images. Why someone would do that is beyond me. Now to just replace all the images with actual gradient.

Sequence Settings when using low resolution video

I am going to create a project that will consist of DV 720 x 480 and some really low resolution video from digital still image cameras.
1. If I export as DV NTSC, what is technically happening with the video that is in my Sequence that is smaller than 720 x 480? Is it being stretched to 720 x 480?
2. If my project did not include the 720 x 480 video, would it be better if I adjust the sequence settings to match the size of the low resolution video?
Thanks.

#1: If you make a 720x280 DV NTSC sequence and insert the low-res video, how it appears in the canvas will be how it appears upon export.
#2: Depends on your intended output.

Help fixing a low resolution picture.

Hello, I captured a picture with a webcam and got a very low resolution, and its also kind of blurry, is there any way i can sharpen the image with out getting the bad effects for over-sharpening the image? I would really appreciate you help, thanks.
Here is my email, if you have the time to send me one over my discussion.
Email: [email protected]

hi. thank you.
i have changed this setting (thanks) but i am not seeing it getting fixed. i /can/ see sometimes where the display has to "snap to focus" if i am scrolling or something (i have 13 GB in the mac pro) but on these images they still seem extremely pixelated.
i am also noticing others that appear to be highly pixelated as well...
ideas? suggestions?
thank you.

Aperture 3 low resolution previews

Hello all,
I've been using Aperture 3 for a few weeks now and loving it. I read in the forums about how previews are set to low resolution and i've been having problems trying to get them back to a high resolution image file. I've imported the photos in iPhoto 09 and exported them to Aperture 3 (which are high resolution image files) to do further enhancement. After working with them, i noticed that the resolution dropped significantly. As a test,I dragged a photo which i've worked on to the desktop and it gave me a very low resolution. I then tried to export the same file using the drop menu to the desktop but still a very low resolution. Is there a way to get them back to a high resolution image file?
The second thing i did was to export the photos to my mac gallery and so i uploaded them with the original files but i still get the photos that i've worked on with a low resolution. The original files are still in high resolution.
Please advice and thanks everyone.
Brian

It might help to clarify your workflow:
I've imported the photos in iPhoto 09 and exported them to Aperture 3
There is no way to "export photos" from iPhoto to Aperture, so how exactly did you get them there? Export/Import? Drag and Drop... from where to where?
After working with them, i noticed that the resolution dropped significantly.
What do you mean by "resolution"? Do you mean the dpi? The file size?
As a test,I dragged a photo which i've worked on to the desktop and it gave me a very low resolution.
This only produces a Preview, but again, what do you mean by "low resolution."

Video files show very low resolution poster image

Using Indesign CC and the latest tools and content viewer I am creating Autoplay video animations for the cover of our weekly magazine.
With each issue I have published the same problem occurs where the poster image for the video file is very low resolution and makes our content look very amateur (for a brief moment) before playing the video file at full resolution.
I have tried creating animations using flash, photoshop and Edge Animate, exporting MP4, MOV and OAM files. The problem is present with all movie files and with the Edge animation files a white flash appears before the file plays.
Is there a solution for either of these issues? We are looking to continue to use animations for our covers and need them to look 100% crisp and clean.

Sorry to jump in but I'm having the same issue too!
I have an H.264 mp4 which I created in After Effects and inserted using the Media panel within DPS.
As you see below, it plays on page load and I have chosen the finished front cover to be the poster image when it ends from within the Folio Overlays panel. I have set the video to stop on the last page.
When the video stops you can see all the artifacting around the text which I would expect to be as crisp as the original PSD file I uploaded as the poster image.
Is there anything I'm doing wrong or is there anything that can improve the quality of the final still?

Low resolution Logic Pro icon

Just upgraded to Lion and downloaded Logic Pro from the app store. I am wondering how to get rid of the low resolution icon that it gave me upon download. I have already replaced it multiple times with high resolution icons, no dice. Still pixelated/blurry and makes the high resolution icons the same. Attached the image of what it makes every icon look like regardless of resolution. I have an iMac.

Tried the get info, delete and it deleted my icon but did not default to the original. ***** that I have to waste time on this issue. I replaced original with a mic. Guess I will have to make do with the mic icon.
