LR 3 images become distorted- elongated.

Is there any advice on what causes this to happen to some images?

Most cameras can only figure out the portrait vs. landscape when the camera body is held such that the lens is parallel to the ground. Otherwise, you get essentially random orientation readings. Most cameras have properties to control if the orientation sensor is even read and the information stuffed into the image metadata.
As for preview distortion (not in grid mode) you can try to recreate the previews from scratch and see if that solves anything. You can rename or move the "previews" directory (it should be next to the catalogue itself) and restart Lightroom, and tell it to rebuild previews.

Rotated images become distorted.

Hello,
I'm new to illustrator, as you'll probably be able to tell by my question. I'm creating a van wrap design for our company, by Monday, so time is of the essence. When I import an image onto the design it's perfect, but when i slightly rotate the image, all the edges become serrated. Will this affect the final print? If it will affect the print what is it that I need to learn or do to change this?
Kind Regards
Debs

Debs,
What Steve said, with the hopefully unnecessary addition that the final resolution should be suuitable, which may be more critical when you have a slight rotation of what would otherwise be vertical/horizontal lines.

Still images become distorted

When I add still images to a clip, they start out playing fine, but after maybe a minute or so they change to these distorted, weird lines...not even close to the original image. Can anyone give me any suggestions?

I found another post for the same problem, and clicked on the link someone had provided...basically you just have to insert Ken burns clip before all your other clips, edit your clips and then delete the Ken burns one.

After sharing, edited images become distorted.

When applying filters to images and sequently sharing them, to mail, to iphoto library, ... imege goes wrong. It looks like sharing does not work. It produces distortion.
Anyone having same problem. Suggestions?

ok. well in my case it is not just a random problem but every edited photo comes out distorted in the same way. anyway the app is amazing. would like to use it on my project but deadline is probably closer than fixing a bug.

Image becoming distorted when printing - smartform in CRM system

We are using CRM 5.0 and have to create a smartform for the acknowledgement of the order. The output is triggered correctly but marketing want me to include an image at the top of the page. I understand that you are only able to load tif or bmp into smart forms and indeed they are printed, however when printed the image is not very clear - looks like it is resizing.
I have tried changing the image in many different ways - and using paint shop pro for uploading the image. I have found that if using TIF the only compression option that uploads is packbits. I have saved the image with as many colours as possible and then reduced it - each time the image looks rubbish! However when I view the file (from my computer) in PSP it looks ok.
I have searched the forums for help but not really found anything that useful. Does anyone have any suggestions how to get the image to come out as expected?
The image stretches across the whole width of the page and just over 3cm deep. There are quite a few colours in the image and it is fairly busy.
Driving me mad here! anyone got any ideas? Maybe I need to install additional filters or something???

managed to get this corrected using faststone image viewer and converting images to 300 DPI.

Snagit images slightly distorted

When I paste Snagit images into a Captivate 5 slide, the left edge of the image becomes slightly distorted. The rest of the image is fine, but the left edge appears to have a slight ripple in it. I can paste the same Snagit image into any other application, including Captivate 3, and the quality is perfect. Any ideas? I'm using Snagit 9.0.0

Hi Jim,
Just to add a comment to this thread. I am a long time user of Snagit and Captivate. Currently using Snagit v10 and Captivate v4.
As you have already found, saving the image first in Snagit and them using Captivate "insert" option is the better option.
What I wanted to add was...in the past I used to save the images in Snagit as JPEG's before inserting them into Captivate. I have since discovered it is better to save your images in Snagit as PNG - you get better results in Captivate this way.
You may already be doing this, but mention it just in case.

Picture icons becoming distorted

I`ve noticed for a while some of my picture icons in the finder window are becoming unrecognizable. I thought it was just my older scanned images but my newer digital ones are also becoming distorted. What would cause this and how can I resore them? I`ve tried replacing them from iphoto, but that only works for a while then they become distorted again along with new ones. Am I over editing them and thus making them unstable? Any help would be most appreciated.

I`ve figured out how to solve my problem but have no idea as to why the problem exsisted in the first place. For anyone else out there having the same kind of frustration, what I did was open the image in preview and "save as", then without changing anything push the save button and a window came up asking to replace. So I just saved as and replaced. So simple. Everything seems fine now. Fingers crossed.

Still images are distorted

Having a frustrating problem... importing still images into FCE 4 and they are being distorted - the image appears to be stretched horizontally. The still images are set up as follows:
Frame Size: 1920 x 1080
Compressor: PNG
Pixel Aspect: HD (1440 x 1080)
Easy Setup:
Format: Apple Intermediate Codec
Use: HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60
Frustrating part is that some of the photos work fine and others do not - despite that they are all set up the same way. Any suggestions?

Tried the square pixel setting, still distorts.
One thing I should mention, it displays fine if I do not add any motion effects. But when I do add a motion effect, the image becomes stretched (and stretching the image is not something I am trying to do). I checked all the settings that I know of and can't find any difference between the photos that work fine and those that do not. However, this is the first video I am creating with FCE 4 so I am suspecting I am overlooking something...

Ai PDF becomes distorted when printed from Google Docs

For work, I create price sheets that I save as a PDF and host them on Google docs where other coworkers can access them. When documents are printed from Google Docs, they often become distorted. Sometimes images, such as a logo in the header, will be shifted to the right and bumped down an inch or so. I can usually fix this by rasterizing the objects that are moved. Has anyone else seen this before? An idea as to why this might be happening?

This is really better suited for the Acrobat Windows support forum...
When you repost, be sure to list details of what version(s) of Acrobat or Reader are being used by your client to print on what OS to what type of printer with what version of the driver...because they will ask!

2007 MacBook Pro Screen becomes distorted and Computer becomes unresponsive

Hi,
I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this. This is hard to explain with words alone, but I will try: I'll be using my 2007 MacBook Pro with no problems, when all of a sudden the screen will start to flicker and the display will become distorted where everything seems like it is tapering into seperate small rectangles. If I am playing music through any application (iTunes, Safari, Ableton Live, Adobe Premiere, etc.) the music will continue to play and I can still move the mouse around but I cannot click on anything or stop the music and none of my keyboard brightness or volume commands will function. Basically it's a partial freeze. This is very troubling as it is becoming more and more frequent. I did drop my computer once a year and a half ago but have not had any trouble of this sort (or at all for that matter) until about 2 months ago, so I'm not sure if this is related. It happened to me twice before I upgraded to 10.6.4 from 10.4.11, only then it was more serious and when I rebooted afterwards it would give me that ominous gray screen with the restart logo and several languages saying I needed to shut it down. Now when it happens I can restart my computer just fine (assuming I force shut it down with the power button for 6 seconds), but sometimes when it restarts the weird screen effect I described will happen during start up and then go away once it is running again. If anyone has any idea what is causing this please let me know, this computer is very important to me, as I do 85% of my work on it. Help! Thanks!!!!
Matt

So I have been creating a logo for my company and it came out great. The problem is, when I format it for PNG or when I want to use it on freshbooks or my webpage, the image becomes blurred and the text is not as clear. How do I fix this?

What is the file format of the vector you downloaded? Custom Shapes have a .PSP extension, and are placed according to this table.
Preference filenames and locations in Photoshop CC
They will then be loadable from the Custom Shapes drop down — click on the cog icon > Load shape > Find your downloaded vector.
Once placed in the image, it will appear as a Shape layer, and can be edited with the Path, and Direct Selection tools (black and white arrows on the toolbar)

Images become blurred when placed in a PSD document

I have a QCODE (barcode) which is a 2-bit pure black and white images.
However, when I place it in another open document, the image becomes blurred when it is placed and the definition of the QCODE is compromised.
How can I stop PS from blurring the image.
I'm guessing it is trying to smooth out the placed image, but i don't want this.
Many thanks.

but i don't want this.
Place it pixel exact! Resampling means the image is placed at sub-pixel values. Aside from that you would also get softness if the image is not properly converted to the target color space and automatic conversion creates mix colors whose individual components blend differently with neighboring pixels, which in part is simply an artifact of on-screen simulation. In any case, you will only be able to get a proper barcode in CMYK/ Duotone/ Multichannel modes, where you can make sure it appears on the spot black ink separation so it does not get halftoned and loses its sharpness again. ideally it would even be native vector data...

Pixelated images when in preview mode on iMovie, but when I pause it the images become clear. How do I fix this?

I just bought the latest version of iMovie and I am on 10.9.4. I transferred my slideshow from the old iMovie to the new one and almost all the pictures become pixelated when in preview mode. Yet when I pause it, the picture becomes clear. What do I do? It's driving me insane!

After more attemps at cropping Im noticing that the saved version is unzoomed, so if I move the zoom bar just a tad the image becomes instantly sharp. But sadly that doesnt help me because iphoto will only let me save it and post it online as the unsharp pixulated version. Can anyone please help me!
