Low rez

I can only get low resolutions on my desktop. I am using a Nvidia driver for my geforce 8800GS. just installed Arch. I did a nvidia-xconfig and since I have two GPUs I specified one by adding
Busid   "01:00:00"
any suggestions how I can get my higher resolutions back?

What resolution are you able to display and what is the actual max resolution of your monitor? Posting your /etc/X11/xorg.conf may also be helpful.

  • Images too low-rez

    When I place an image in the CS4 version it's fine but the same image in CS6 is low-rez. What gives?

    The layout file, minus photo, was created in CS4. After opening it in CS6 I then placed a photo and got the jaggies. Did not move the photo after placing it. My guess is that CS6, being a new installation, was settling in. (That's a technical term.) In any event it's working smoothly now, no need for an extra linking step with other photos that I'm placing.
    Thanks for your help, Peter.

  • Low-rez or no thumbnails in Cover Flow & Icon views!

    Cover Flow used to display sharp and clear high-resolution jpeg previews, but now it display either low-rez previews for most or nothing at all for some. In Icon view, the Finder used to be able to generate thumbnails for jpeg files that don't have icons, but now many jpeg files are just blank in Icon view.
    Does this have anything to do with the newer updates?

    This problem hit me suddenly about two days ago. Can't seem to fix it. Haven't tried rebuilding Spotlight index yet, trying to avoid it, but that might solve the issue. Perhaps before I leave for the day that's what I'll do, and see how things are in the morning.
    FYI, others have this issue as well:

  • Images very low rez

    I did a small test slide show in iPhoto of images from Aperture and they look extremely low rez.in the preview. Then I exported to iDVD and they still look low rez. In Aperture there 16bit raw files. How can I be sure they will be of a higher quality?
    Thank You

    You are probably using the display (Thumbnail) images rather than the original hi res photos - probably the Aperture forum would be a better place to ask about Aperture questions - iPhoto is using what you give it from Aperture - not really an iPhoto question

  • Random low rez icons in Dock, Switcher, and Finder?

    Is anyone else getting randomly appearing low resolution app icons since updating to 10.6 or 10.6.1? They change to low rez jaggy fuzzy wherever they're loaded from the system. So they might appear in the Finder, the Dock, the Switcher, or in odd places like the Time Machine hard drive icon.
    Sometimes they're normal and sometimes they switch to low.. I can't tell why.

    Found some information on this Apple thread.
    Also here at MacFixIt.
    None of the solutions presented in either forum are permanent fixes, only temporary. Restarting usually makes the problem go away for awhile, and is the easiest less detrimental solution.
    Hopefully Apple will come up with a fix soon.

  • Rendering a Low Rez  QT of my 2 Hr Movie

    Hello Board,
    A couple of months ago I had my movie mixed and all was well. Recently I did some cuts and adjustments. The sound designer/mixer needs me to render a low rez QT of the new version and give it to him so that he can sync the old mix against the new video.
    He says he needs a low rez QT movie that includes the sound at 16/48, and needs the file to be 2 gigs or less.
    My movie is standard mini DV.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on a Compressor or Quick Time Conversion setting that will accomplish this?
    Thanks,
    Lin

    Settings for FCP:
    1. File > Export Using QT Conversion
    2. From this window click the Setting Popup menu.
    3. From here choose "Custom..." At the bottom of the long list.
    4. A new window will popup allowing you to choose your custom settings.
    5. Make sure you're in the General Tab.
    6. In the Aspect Ratio popup menu (the first one)
    7. Choose the 2nd one from the top. "Multimedia Large (4:3)"
    8. It will give you screen size of 320x240
    9. You can choose "Custom" from that same popup menu and choose your own aspect ratio.
    10. In the Audio area of this window. Choose your settings 16-bit and 48KHz.
    11. Now you have a small video, with good audio.

  • Imac magenta screen & vertical lines / low rez screen

    iMac 21.5, just 3 months old. running 10.6.3 we now see patchy magenta tinted screen and a low resolution version of the desktop. computer seems to function as normal, screenshots of course dont show the issue. screen seems to be 'half rez' vertically showing the 'scan lines' easily
    any thoughts
    j

    Hi everyone!
    My Imac (Intel CoreDuo, early 2006, 24") present same problems - vertical color lines, kernel panic and finally DEATH-. Just after reading this
    http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1580232&start=435&tstart= 0
    I call Apple and a very nice guy tell me, Apple extend warranty for vertical lines problem, but only in 17" machines! I can´t believe it!
    I´m pretty desperate. Someone with 24" Imac could solve the problem calling Apple?
    I live in Spain, the serial number of my Imac is W8642**GN
    Thank you!

  • External screen resolution "defaults" to low-rez (T510, docked; Samsung SyncMaster 730b monitor)

    I have a T510 Thinkpad with docking station (Windows XP) with Samsung SyncMaster 730b monitor. Every time I start up, it defaults to low resolution and I need to manually increase the screen resolution. Is there a way to make the default setting for the external monitor is high-resolution?
    Thanks!

    hey ct-user,
    it is hard to say if this is caused by the external monitor or by the docking station.
    try having the the external monitor connected to the T510 and see if it "saves" the resolution that was previously set.
    also, test the external monitor on a different laptop and see if the same issue occurs.

  • IPhoto pics and Mail pics saved at low rez

    I just got the new MacBook Pro!  And the strangest thing is happening.  I'm not sure even where to post it. 
    My photos are all coming in as low resolution now.  For example, I recieve two photos in a Mail email.  They display 'medium' size.  I Save to desktop or drag and drop and they are quite 'small' sized there.  Can't save the full size.
    Also, iPhoto asked to update my Library when I opened it the first time on this MacBook Pro.  I updated and now, most of my photos are resized to be smaller/lower resolution too!  Photos that were once fun to display as my Wallpaper are now way too small to enjoy that anymore. 
    What happened to my high quality photos and why can't I save high resolution pics to my desktop from Mail?  Hmmmm...

    Quit iPhoto and drag your iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the External Hard Drive, depress the option key and launch iPhoto - select the library on the EHD -- be sure to option launch and switch back when done - iPhoto always opens the last used library when you launch it

  • Why does A3 only show low rez unedited photos after DB restore.

    After restoring my Aperture 3 DB w/Time Machine, I only see VERY low resolution versions without the cropping and other adjustments applied.  Once I click on them, it loads the full version and applies the cropping, straightening and other adjustments.  I have 24,000 photos and don't want to hit enter on each one to be able to see a decent version of the photo.

    I am rebuilding the previews now, but with 24,000 photos, it will take ll day long.  That looks like the solution, but why were the previews not restored when I restored the Aperture DB?   Should I have restored something else as well?

  • Lower rez PDF's?

    I make photo proof sheet PDF's for clients using the Low Quality setting but would like to get even smaller, lesser quality PDF's. Can this be done easily? . The pictures are 36 mb Raw files, 50 plus per PDF which makes a somewhat large PDF file.
    Thank you, Andy

    The pictures are 36 mb Raw files, 50 plus per PDF which makes a somewhat large
    PDF file.
    CS5 bridge version has a lot more options in resizing and defining quality
    and size in Output Module.
    Also Acrobat Pro offers a lot options in resizing PDF.
    For CS4, you can also first use a batch to resize your files (or use the
    Image processor for that) to a much smaller versions that also helps in
    smaller files.

  • How to set download resolution to low rez as default?

    Have limited data download. Want all data downloads to default to lowest resolution to reduce amount of data downloaded.

    In the old days, sites sometimes specified a "low res" version of images, which the browser could load more quickly as a placeholder for a better quality version of the image. I don't know whether sites do that any more, so I'm not sure what signal Firefox could check for whether a lower resolution version is available.
    Meanwhile, to stop Firefox from downloading images automatically, you could consider an add-on such as Image Block: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/image-block/ (adds a toolbar button so you have more control over when to download images).
    Are there other kinds of content that raise a similar concern to images?
    I guess videos... I haven't researched how to prefer a low-res video. Most users seem to be looking for HD resolution. But maybe there's an add-on for this, too? If you find anything in your research, please post back with your solution.

  • Vanishing Point in PSCS4 gives low rez map

    Hi! CS3 was no problem. Now, when switching to CS4 the maps that vanishing point make is now by some reason low resolution. Is it possible to change how PS render the maps?
    Regards / Jimmy

    Thanks Peter, I will post there- somehow I could only find the CS forum when posting- I will
    look more carefully.
    I have not tried going down in QT version...I guess I could find older versions online huh?

  • As soon as I log in graphics go low colour/lower rez

    'm running 10.4.6 on a MacBook Pro and something very weird has just happened.
    My machine has been working fine for a couple of weeks now and all of a sudden my colour seems to have dropped to 8-bit and all of of the text (including the Finder menubar) has become very undefined, blocky and splodgey.
    When I logout everything is OK, the login screen shows text and graphics fine, about five seconds after I login 'click' everything returns to the low-colour blockiness.
    I created a second user account to try and take screen shots of this so that I could put a link to them on here and the weirdest thing is that the screenshots I took when everything looked blocky look fine when I view them from the new account (in addition everything else is OK with the new account too).
    It is obviously some preference or something loaded during my login, I've tried repair permissions and that didn't help. Anybody got any clues as to what could be causing this? Migrating everything to a new user would be a nightmare as I have loads of work scattered around everywhere and a shed load of application preferences.
    I've also posted this to the Finder Forum as it spans both sort of issues.
    Thanks in advance
    James

    Open the Universal Access pane of System Preferences and check the settings; some of them may be causing your issue. These settings are specific to the account which they were set in.
