My prints are not as sharp as the image on screen

does anyone know how to fix this? I also use C1 pro and get much sharper results but prefer the colour in Aperture

As far as I am aware the card is read by the computer as it is without any form of enhancement and sent to the computer and printed.
If I print from the Photo Gallery the prints are as sharp as above.
I would have expected printing from Photoshop to be the same.
No, that's not that simple. Printing means resizing (resampling) most of the time and depending on your printer type/printer driver, a default sharpening is generally applied.
By the way, more sharpening does not necessarily mean better quality. That's the advantage of being able to control both resizing and sharpening from the editing software. There has been many books written on the 'art' of sharpening.

  • Prints are not near as crisp as shown on screen

    Hi, I am new to the digital camera. After uploading my images and working on them in photoshop, the image looks clear and crisp on screen. When the print is complete, it looks a bit blurry and milky. I'm printing on both Epson 22oo and 2400. What am I missing? Thanks!

    Trish, open your image in Editor, and then go to Image>Resize>Image Size. Copy down the information about the image, because that number you grabbed for the pixel dimension is pretty useless for this purpose. We'll have more to work with if we get either the dimension of the image in pixels (example, 3073 wide X 2304 high), which is toward the top of the screen, or give it in inches and the resolution number that's showing in the box. All is even better, so we can see what you've been trying to work with.

  • Images imported from iPhoto to iDvd are not as sharp as originals. Any solution?

    Trying iDVD for the first time. Imported images from iPhoto. However on the DVD, the images are not as sharp as the original files which are very sharp and well-focused. Any solutions or is this kind of degradation just to be expected?
    Thank you!

    Hi
    There are several layers to this.
    a. There are no HD-DVD - DVD is as standard only Standard Definition as on old CRT-TVs and can never be anything btter as iPhoto showes on Your Mac screen (5 to 10 times higher resolution)
    b. One can get a result less than iDVD SD quality and down to really bad by
    • Using iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 - as they discard every second line in the picture = 50% loss
    • Using iMovie HD6 and NO Ken Burns effect AND "Share to iDVD" as this also results in disaster (heavely pixelated Bad bad pictures) - (as iMovie will render badly)
    c. I build my SlideShow in
    • iMovie HD6 - and no Ken Burns effect - BUT I close iMovie and import iMovie movie project (SlideShow) from within iDVD and now iDVD will render and so much better.
    • FinalCut also delivers maximal quality over to iDVD
    (from FCE/P - Export out as QuickTime .mov - NO QuickTime conversion (Important))
    • iMovie'08 to 11 - I Share to Media Browser and as Large (not HD or other)
    iMovie HD6/FinalCut + iDVD will give as high quality possibly to the resulting DVD.
    I use
    • Verbatim DVD-R
    • set down burn speed to x4 (Plays better on many DVD-Players)
    • Pro Quality encoding - I got the time and like the result

  • Printing.  My prints are not printing at the proper size.  If I designate 5x7 it prints at something around 4x3.  I have set all the parameters.

    My prints are not printing at the proper size.  If I designate 5x7 it prints at something around 4x3.  I have set all the parameters.

    When you saye a you have set all the parameters, does that include the cell size in the print module? Are you printing on 5 x 7 paper? And, if you are, have you set that paper size in the page setup?

  • Custom options in Adobe PDF printer are not showing up in "Default Settings"

    Hello,
    I am using Windows 7 and I am trying to create custom "Default Settings" in my Adobe PDF printer. When I make edits to an existing setting, click "Save As..." and save with a new filename, the new settings are not showing up in the "Default Settings" drop down box in the "Adobe PDF Settings" tab of the "Adobe PDF Document Properties" dialogue box. I can confirm that the new settings are indeed saved on my hard drive and are located in:
    C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings
    No matter how many different custom settings I save as described above, they are simply now showing up. This works for me on other computers, but just happens not to work on my current one, which recently had an OS reinstall from scratch. Prior to the reinstall, it worked just fine on my computer (an ASUS UX31A laptop). The included pictures demonstrate what I'm talking about.
    Any thoughts?

    I finally solved this. The path for the Adobe PDF Settings was set to the follwing in the registry (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\PDF Settings):
        C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings\
    Even though "%USERNAME%" should work, it doesn't. I just replaced it with my actual username and it worked.

  • HELP! Lexmark 5470 not print. Printer has not been added to the utility.

    Hello, I recently acquired my new MB pro and I was trying to print a normal document. I used my Lexmark 5470 installation software and everything seemed fine until I actually tried to print something. It is not a new printer, I use it everyday with my PC.
    After the installation, I was able run the functions of cleaning the ink and of putting the page in line, but not the "print a sample page" function. It said that the printer had not been added to the printer's utility. I checked again and i chose the driver from a list where there were 3 different options for the 5400 series. None of them worked. I downloaded the drivers from Lexmark. Did not make any difference. I unninstalled and reinstalled from the lexmark printer's cd. No difference.
    I've looked everywhere and don't seem to find any particular errors from my part. The printer works fine with my Vaio laptop on windows XP.
    Any suggestions?

    Driver for 5470 is bundled with the Mac OS X 10.5 DVD. Do not use the drivers available from the web or from the CD installer that came with your printer.
    Since you have already installed your printer, uninstall it, reset printing system (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301185) and reinstall.
    Instructions for installing the bundled driver are in http://www.lexmark.com/lexmark/sequentialem/home/0,6959,2048165961160493508_0en,00.html
    Let me know how it goes.

  • Copy not as sharp as the original

    When I copy a photo that I downloaded from the Internet on a CD (so I can trash the original to save space on the HD) the copy is not as sharp as the original.
    Is that part of the story with copying an image or is the disk at fault ? I use Imation CD-R 1x-8x compatible 650 MB-74 min. Also (not sure if this is relevant) I was on OS 9.0.4 and later 9.2.2 when I downloaded. I have now Mac OS X.
    The difference between the copy and the original is small but there's a difference. On some picture it is obvious, on other I have to look well and back and forth until I see -"Oh yeah there's less details !" Out of curiosity I took one of these photo saved on CD and put it on Adobe Photoshop and changed the contrast (or was it brightness/sharpness ?) I was surprised to see that if I make it sharper by just 1% it is exactly as the original. Didn't imagine that 1% will make such a difference but it does. It was a while a go; Perhaps it was 2% but certainly not more. If I have a headshot of a person, the hair on the original can clearly be seen as hair (individual hair, that you can almost count) while on the copy it's a bunch of hair. Or the eyes, skin, everything is sharp on the original, dull on the copy.
    On some picture the difference is obvious (I guess it will be more than 1% if I put it on Adobe.)
    So why is that ? why isn't a copy like the original since the picture is digital ?

    Hi eww..
    I should have said in my first phrase
    "When I copy on a CD, a photo that I downloaded from the Internet and put it on the HD."
    They are all .jpg usually around 100K (72K, 88 K,104K, 164, 280K)
    I visit a site (Photography, Nature, etc.) and if I like a picture I click File-->save as. The display ask Where: MacIntosh HD
    Format : Web Archives
    This is now with Mac X...with OS 9.0.4 it was slightly different : the choices were
    Web Archive
    HTML source
    plain text
    But regardless if OS 9 or X, these photos are now on my HD .
    That's all I do, I do not open any application, just "save" and it is on my HD, and as I said when I copy from the HD to a CD and then compare the two, the saved photo on the CD is not as sharp as the one on the HD.
    You said
    This isn't true when the copies are made by the Finder, without opening the file. If you have a .jpg file on your desktop, and you hit Command-D to duplicate it,
    A) Or Finder-->File-->Duplicate ? same thing right ?
    So if I want a good copy all I have to do is put the file on the desktop, leave it close and hit Command-D to duplicate it, (or Finder-->File-->Duplicate if it's the same thing) and I'm OK ? It has to be on the desktop ?
    B) OK I just click Duplicate on a photo unopened dragged on the desktop and then duplicate it. I compare the two and this is weird coz the copy is sharper (slightly but visible) than the original. How could that be I ask myself so I switch the original on the right side of the monitor and the copy on the left side and what do you know the original is now better.
    Out of curiosity I also copied a photo unopened still in one of my folder (to check if I HAVE to put it on my desktop) and compare the two. Same thing: left side of monitor.. etc.
    I did not compare the copy done inside the folder with one done on the desktop.
    Now I have to check if the problem I mentioned in my first post is due to the monitor or not. Everything on the right side is sharper.
    My monitor, a new (now 1 year or so) LCD Samsung Syncmaster 910T seems fine. I don't see anything wrong while looking at it. I turned out the table lamp behind me since it is on my right about 2 arms length thinking that perhaps it illuminates the screen more (knowing fully well it's not that: it illuminates the room and the entire screen but just to be sure.) No change. the difference remains the same Everything on the right side on the monitor is sharper.
    But if you open a .jpg image in a photo viewing and editing application and do a Save As... to make another copy of it in .jpg format, it's re-compressed — and JPEG compression is "lossy": it discards image information that the JPEG algorithm defines as relatively unimportant in order to make the image file smaller. Each time a JPEG file is opened and re-saved, it's re-compressed, and it gets smaller and less sharp and detailed. By the third or fourth generation, the image may be a real mess.
    C) 1. "photo viewing and editing application" ? Like Adobe ? Are you saying that if I open an image I have on Adobe photoshop and make changes, (sharpness, color, whatever) and then I save this new document, it's re-compressed ?
    2. Ditto if I just copy an image I have on Adobe photoshop (or on the HD). it's re-compressed ?
    3. Also when I want to copy something I can click copy or duplicate and never knew what's the difference between these 2 words.
    What is the deadline to wish a Happy New year ? January 26 ?

  • My ipod 5th gen won't change volume when headphones are plugged in, but when they are not I can change the volume on the speaker.  How do I fix this?

    My ipod 5th gen won't let me adjust volume when headphones are plugged in, but when they are not I can adjust the volume on the speaker.  How do I fix this?

    Try a hard reset of the Nano. To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    I assume you have double checked to make sure you are plugging the headset all the way in meaning the white part of the headset is flush with the body of the Nano?

  • Images I move from one folder into another are disappearing, at first it was occurring immediately if I did not copy and paste the images. Today however I found out that images I had been using for days just up and vanished from their new location.

    Images I move from one folder into another are disappearing, at first it was occurring immediately and only if I did not copy and paste the images. Today however I found out that images I had been using for days just up and vanished from their new location. A few of these images had copies in another folder that remained and the ones I couldn't find may or may not have ever had copies. I had backed up my system with time machine recently as well, so I went into the backup to retreive the lost images. When I searched and found the backup copies I got the error "the file alias cannot be opened because the original cannot be located". The crazy thing is that the images that remained on my computer did not give me the same error and opened like they should.
    In short images that I am creating, saving, and using are disapearing so epically that even time machine versions are affected when retrieval is attempted. Any suggestions as to what I could be doing wrong without realizing it? Or perhaps other people have had similar bugs that are software related and have a solution?

    Hi Kevin,
    I understand what you tried to do but it doesn't work that way. Swapping drive names will just mess things up.
    You should be able to reconnect the files though: in the Locate Referenced Files dialog make sure you click the Show Reconnect Options button — this will give you access to all the connected drives. Locate one of the files and hit Reconnect All. Should do the trick.
