My images look "choppy" in coverflow mode.

Hey everyone,
I recently noticed that any new designs I save are showing up "choppy" in coverflow mode. They look pixelated and they don't adjust like the other images I have in my folders. It's only happening to new files. i.e. I'll design something in Photoshop or Illustrator, save as jpeg and/or PSD/AI file, open up the folder and the image is ratty. It's so strange cause when I downloaded an image from the internet to do some more investigating, the image turns out great and it looks completely fine when I view in coverflow mode.
I hope this all made sense. Help! I can't preview my images looking like this anymore!
Thanks in advance!!

this could happen if you are saving image files with custom icons. they may look bad in coverflow if they are too small. I don't use photoshop but I know it has an option to save with or without custom icons attached. choose the latter.

Image looks different in different browsers?

I had set up a webpage and was having one little problem with
it that I could not fix. For some reason, one image (the header of
my page) looked blurry in Firefox but nice and crisp in Internet
Explorer. If I played with the settings in Photoshop and resaved
out as jpg to make the image look crisp and nice in Firefox, it
looked mangled and choppy in IE.
After much testing and asking in other forums, I finally
found a setting in DreamWeaver. Right mouse clicking the
placeholder for the image in the table in DreamWeaver, I selected
"Optimize" which brought up a window for the image and I checked
"Progressive Browser Display".
Uploaded my hmtl index file to my host and voila, the image
looks nice in both Firefox and IE.
So the question is, do I need to worry that somehow that
setting has done something unforeseen but negative?
Any experience with this setting and anything to be worried
about? This was driving me INSANE and it's the only thing I could
find that fixed it.

hi Nancy thanks for your reply. question for you: as far as
the end result, does it matter whether it is done in photoshop or
dreamweaver? also, is there any reason to worry that using this
setting in dreamweaver will cause problems? I can't for the life of
me figure out why checking this off makes Fireforx display the
image correctly while leaving it unchecked makes the image in
firefox blurry.
TIA

Exporting images looks really bad!

Forum,
I am exporting images for a slideshow to make in DVD Studio Pro for my final outputted project.
The problem is that the images look really choppy and very bad. They look interlaced.
I'm working with NTSC DV. Is this normal?
Would it help is I made a Freeze Frame in FCP, then exported it as an image?
System:
OS X 10.4.5
FCP 5.0.4
QT 7.0.4
Thanks

hi fcp - I take them straight off the tl and go into photoshop with them to tidy them up. Use the deinterlace filter in ps.

Image looks truncated in viewer and canevas

Hi there,
I am begining a new SD project in which I imported a QT sequence that was generated with Mpegstreamclip.
I chose easy settings mode in FCP.
In both viwere and canevas, the image does not look "centered".
As a matter of fact, it is truncated on the right side and when I play the sequence, a vertically moving blueish-greenwish band appears on the right side.
I have checked that the sequence plays all right in MPEG streamclip.
By the way, if I import another sequence that was shot with a HD photocamera, 16:9 format, a blueish band also appears on the right side.
What could be the problem ?
It is the first time I see that
Thanks in advance
Ivan

The image on the left in PS looks the same in Picasa Image
Viewer (I selected it to be color managed based on the monitor profile), looks the same in Windows Image Viewer, and looks the same in the thumbnail. The image on the right in LR is how the picture looks when I look at my image in Firefox but in Internet Explorer and in Chrome, the image looks like the image on the left in PS. The image below shows how the thumbnail looks different from the actual picture when it's double clicked and viewed in Picasa. The thumbnail (which shows the subjects having green skin) would be how I saw it online while the double clicked version is how I saw it in PS, even though it was sRGB (I checked the image properties to make sure of the color space).
I have a ATI 5470 GPU on my ASUS 17.3 inch laptop. Not sure about the drivers.

Two pages look gray in preview mode, wont' export

Two pages in my document (a science text for kids) suddenly "went gray." They look fine in normal mode, but in preview mode the pages look gray like the background, except for the imported images which still have a white background. When I try to export and make a PDF file, those two pages come out as blank pages. I tried to delete the pages but they won't delete. When I click on the first page in the PAGES side bar, it takes me to the first page of the document and when I click on the second one, it takes me to the last page. I have no idea what keys I might have accidentally pressed. I don't even know the correct terms for the problem. Does anyone know what is going on? (This is a really important document for my business and is 250 pages long.)

Why some albums cover does not show in coverflow mode?

even when i sync my albums with its cover, when i turn to coverflow mode some of them does not appear and i dont know why

If you don't have PS, or don't want to fire it up, DW offers a couple simple graphics editing options: Brightness/Contrast, Sharpness, Resample and Crop...
Click the image in Design View
Go to Modify > Image > Crop
An alert will tell you that what you are doing will modify the original, the only choice is "OK"
Click and drag the handles to select the area to crop to
Hit Enter/Return and the image will be cropped
You can use the normal Undo in DW to change it back if you goof it up.

When converted to RGB, image looks darker??

in photoshop CS4, I use Adobe RGB (1998) as my working profile. I open a document, I change it's profile from RGB, using "view"-"mode", to anything else, say Lab, and everything is fine up to now, but then I undo the change, and what I get is a darker image than before. I don't get the original image I opened. Same thing happens if I use the "convert to profile" option also.
I close the image and reopen it, it still looks darker. I restart photoshop and open the image, only then I get the original image with normal colors again. This happens only when I convert back to RGB, not from RGB and not between any other profiles.
So basically when I, at some point, change the color profile from RGB to any other profile and then back to RGB the image looks darker, and the only way to fix this is restarting photoshop. this didn't happen in any versions before cs4, what should I do? thanks.

thanks very much for your response. Actually I had the latest drivers and photoshop 11.0.1, then I downgraded my drivers and this solved the issue.
for everyone else using ati graphics cards, I had this issue with version 9.2 and 9.3, however, 8.1 solves this issue.
thanks very much.

How come that the design mode looks different than preview mode with slideshows?

hello,
I am placing a slideshow on the site. when I look in the preview mode the slideshow is not exactly in the same place.
How come? Am I doing somthing wrong?
thanks for response

Welcome to the medium that is the web. Every browser has it's own text layout engine and "web-safe" fonts are a misnomer. You cannot rely on text line breaking the same in different browsers. Thus creating text frames that snuggly fit the text within is likely to result in what's occurring on your site in some browsers or browser versions.
As a general rule, you should attempt to use Web Fonts whenever you can. Use "Web Safe" fonts as a second choice. And only use System fonts as a last resort and only for small amounts of text (since they become an image when output).
If you want a specific portion of text to absolutely never go to two lines, you'll want to put it in a text frame that significantly wider than the text so when the line length varies the text doesn't wrap to a new line.
"Web Safe" fonts are not a single font but actually a list/stack of fonts where the browser goes through the list until it finds a font that's available on the current viewer's device. The fonts in the list/stack are similar in visual appearance and font metrics, but any difference in font metrics is sufficient to result in changes in line breaks, so when using web safe fonts you need to account for much larger variations in line length and line breaking than will occur when using a Web Font.

Aperture and Leopard-Canon RAW (CR2) Images look sharper?

Got back on Aperture after a week tinkering with Leopard and other things. In full screen mode the images look sharper. I know Apple have done things to Core image, but have they tweaked it for Aperture & images?
Also now much nippier!

Not all CR2 files are the same
In other words, while they may have the same suffix, the Raw from every model of camera needs to be supported individually.
Here's a list of the cameras currently supported:

The s95 isn't on it.

My images look blurry when I export or publish my site from Muse. Why and how do I fix it?

My images look blurry, jagged, pixelated and low quality when I publish or export my site from Muse. Is there any way to avoid or fix this problem?

The primary cause of blurring images is the less than Photoshop-quality image downsampling algorithm currently used in Muse (that was compounded in early betas due to a bug in the JPEG compression library we were using at that time). Due to work we've done for Beta 7 to improve image encoding performance we now have the infrastructure in place to enable us to take a much better image resampler/resizer (after Beta 7), so this source of blurring will be addressed.
The other source of blurring is unique to opaque images containing line art or otherwise containing hard edges and large areas of solid color. When an image is opaque Muse will encode it as JPEG (if it's altered in Muse is a way that requires re-encoding). For line art this will introduce JPEG compression artifacts that can be noticeable depending on your eye and the specific image involved.
There are (at least) to ways to avoid these JPEG compression artifacts:
Resize your image before placing and avoid applying any effects (rounded corners, drop shadow, etc.) or doing any cropping or resizing in Muse. If the image is unaltered your original JPEG, PNG or GIF will be passed through unaltered.*
Put at least one pixel of transparency in your original image. (It could be a single 99% opaque pixel.) This will force Muse to encode as PNG. PNG compression is lossless and thus doesn't introduce any compression artifacts. However, an average PNG can be 5 times the size of a JPEG for the same image, so there is an impact to webpage download performance.
*For PSD files Muse has to encode the original PSD data into some web-friendly image format. If an image is resized in Photoshop and placed Muse won't resize/resample the image data, but it will encode it as JPEG or PNG depending on whether it contains transparency.

How do I make the images look clear in PDF when converted from MS Word?

Hi
When I convert an MS Word-2010 file (which contains images also) to PDF through Acrobat X Pro, some images which are of bigger size do not look very clear. Is there any workaround for this problem? Please reply. It's quite urgent.
Thanks

In my experience (not necessarily the best), I find it best to rescale image copies with a graphics package before importing into WORD or whatever. Resize and then set the resolution to about 600 dpi before you import. The issue of using the clipboard appears to be an issue with WORD 2007 and such. I clipped a 300 dpi image into my technical word processor and then back to a graphic editor and all was preserved. I did the same with WORD 2007 and everything got messed up and the resultant image looked terrible. In fact, in WORD I got the same result if I imported the picture or clipped it from my graphics package. So it appears there are some strange issues with WORD itself.
I am not trying to make any claims here, but just making an observation. The original image was at 300dpi. WORD also changed the 8-bit B&W photo to a 24-bit photo and reduced the number of pixels from 774 per width to 252 per width about a factor of 3 reduction in pixel resolution when clipped. When I expanded the image size in WORD, then the clip size increased also. When I do the same expansion of the image size in my word processor and then clip back to IrfanView, the original image is retained. My only conclusion is that OFFICE 2007 plays around with graphics and it does not seem to make any difference if you clip the image into WORD or import it, WORD still messes around with it. My guess this is just a general MS thing.
Some folks a year or 2 ago got me to looking at nice sunsets in PPT. There were all sorts of issues with creating the PDF (AA8) from the PPT to get a reasonable result. The image obtained from the MS converter seemed to keep the picture nice. The images obtained from PDF Maker and printing to the Adobe PDF printer gave slightly different results and tended to break the image into smaller parts that often left little lines in the picture if you zoomed in. Folks were blaming this on Acrobat and yet using the same version of Acrobat with OFFICE 2003 the sunset came out great.
This post is a bit jumbled, but the jist is that a lot of the graphics issues with WORD files seem to go back to WORD itself and possibly with hooks MS put into OFFICE (OK, no proof on that and probably impossible to prove) to mess up Acrobat conversions. It would be interesting to see if the same result for the PDF is obtained from other converters, or if it is just something that OFFICE 2007 does "nicely" for Acrobat.
Sorry for going off the deep end, but I just have a major annoyance with OFFICE starting with 2007, particularly for things like this. They couldn't get equations right either, just one more thing that they messed up. As far as I am concerned, a lot of the issues stem from MS and not Acrobat.
Just for the heck of it, I ran the PPT picture through Open Office and used both the PDF export and the print to the Adobe PDF printer. Both retained the full image. However, when clipping from OOP to Irfanview, the resolution was 96dpi. The result seemed to be dependent on the zoom. So there are definitely some issues with copy and paste, at least with how some packages handle it.

Don't have a direct answer. But did you install the updates. They might resolve the problem.

How can I make my images look good when exporting to PDF document?

Hello! I'm struggling here with a PDF Brochure that I need to create (intended for web only, not print).
There are two images that look horrible and pixelated when I create my PDF file. I have tried everything, making the images bigger and smaller, using 72 dpi images and 300 dpi ones. Everything results the same way... It looks perfect in my InDesign file, but in the PDF it looks all damaged. Here are two screen shots, one of how it looks in the PDF and one of how it looks in InDesign.
Could you please tell me what I need to do to guarantee that the image looks good quality in the PDF? (My document is 40cmx20cm, I don't not if using cm is affecting the document).
To export to PDF I'm using the option: Adobe PDF pressets --> Smallest file size.
If you can help me I would really appreciate it!
Thank you,
Nataly.

Terrible idea. In a JPG the text will not be alive, you loose all interactivity.
And making JPGs with InDesign is not what the program is meant to make.

Okay so i had an iphone 5. I backed it up on icloud. Then i got the new iphone 5s i restored ot from icloud from my previous iphone 5. Now everything works find execept now the games are slowy and drops the frame rate and look choppy. Please help.

Now everything works find execept now the games are slowy and drops the frame rate and look choppy. Then i restarted my iphone 5s as a new device downloaded the same apps even the ones optimized for ios 7 and the games still lag. And i just got my iphone 5s replace. The funny thing is. While im playing games and their running choppy and slow and if i take a snap shot inside the phone. They run smooth and HD but just for a few seconds and boom they go back to slow and choppy. Is it the ios 7 or the iphone 5s it self? Like i said this is my replacement iphone 5s because the other 5s did the same thing. And it was running slowly.

As far as I know you can't delete the primary email address for an iCloud account. It's assigned when the account is created. But your neighbor wouldn't have been able to get into your iCloud account without your Apple ID and password. Are you sure the account wasn't still on your phone when you gave it to him?
You could migrate a copy of your data to a new iCloud account but I would still be concerned that someone else was using my old account, which presumably still has your data in it.
I'm fairly certain that you're going to have to have iCloud support help you sort this one out as they may have the ability to make changes to an existing account that users can't. Make an appointment with the genius bar at a nearby Apple store and have them take a look at it. If necessary, they should be able to contact iCloud support for you.
