Pasted Images are Fuzzy in Captivate

Hey all,
I am trying to paste images taken using "snag-it" into a captivate presentation.  When the image pastes into the presentaiton, Captivate asks if I want to resize.  I have tried all of the sizes (100%, 50%, cropped, etc.) but the image always comes out fuzzy (i.e. the labels for the different fields on the screen).
So, I tried pasting it into word and then into Captivate, adjusting the dimensions in word first so I could bypass Captivate's auto-size function.  It is coming in slightly more clear, but it is still fuzzy.
Any suggestions on how I can take a screenshot on my computer and get it into Captivate without compromising quality??
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
What is your default slide Quality? CP does set it to 8-bit to have the smallest filesize, but for most graphical images that is certainly not the best quality. Try to change the slide quality to Optimized, perhaps it will be better?
BTW you can also take the screenshot with Captivate... Just insert a recording slide, use PrintScreen to create manually a slide

  • Adobe Reader screen images are fuzzy or out of focus

    The screen images in an Adobe Reader document are fuzzy or out of focus.  How can I sharpen them?

    Thanks:
    The Fonts & Colours option worked wonderfully for me and now my pages are displaying the colour and images I expected to see. So very simple in the end. Is it related to the current upgrad? At least I will not have to trouble with attempting to revert to an earlier version.

  • Images are fuzzy

    I am converting files containing psd images into pdfs using Acrobat 8. The images appear fuzzy in the pdfs. I know I sorted this out in Acrobat 6 but can't remember how and the help files are not very helpful. What should I do ?

    The psd file is an image imported into a GSP Publisher 4 Gold file. I then use Acrobat 8 pro to convert to a pdf. I know I worked out how to do it ok in Acrobat 6 but that was 5 years ago and I can't remember how I did it.

  • Pasted images are cropped when printed

    I use the Snipping Tool quite often.  Since purchasing the HP Envy 4500 printer, when I paste snipped images to Word, the image looks fine in Print Preview.  However, when I print the document, the snipped image is enlarged and does not fit in the pasted area.  I only get a portion of the image on paper.

    The only solution I've found is to paste the snip in Paint, and then copy that image and paste it to Word. It is so frustrating that HP can't come up with a solution. They think it is a Microsoft problem.

  • Mobile images are low res and fuzzy

    I dont know why all my mobile images are fuzzy. I dont see the use original size or whateve that is in the assets panel...
    how do i make my mobile images be as sharp as the desktop version, but maintain their smaler size..
    http://rigandkeel.com is the site. mobile and tablet versions look bad...

    Hi,
    Sorry I wasn't clear enough. You need to place the image in Muse such that its width (see the control strip or the Transform panel) reads, say, 550px.
    You'll also need to increase your page width to accommodate this wider image.
    Try these on your phone:
    http://museforum.businesscatalyst.com/phone/5618166a.html
    (325x217 image; pixelated in landscape)
    http://museforum.businesscatalyst.com/phone/5618166b.html
    (550x367 image; looks better, but you need to scroll the page horizontally as the image does not fit)
    http://museforum.businesscatalyst.com/phone/5618166c.html
    (550x367 image; page is 550px wide; looks fine and fits)
    I chose 550px somewhat arbitrarily. You'll need to find the right balance between image quality and load time (particularly important on phones).

  • Slides in slideshow are fuzzy

    When I view my slides in Organizer, they are sharp. When I assemble the same slides into a slideshow, the images are fuzzy and indistinct. What am I doing wrong?

    The Video CD format that Photoshop Elements uses to burn a slide show to a CD disc in a video format is low resolution. It is the characteristic of that format that it is low resolution. This has been true for Photoshop Elements 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 as well as the predecessor Photoshop Album 1 and 2. You can not fix this.
    Especially if you plan to play back your slide show on a large size TV screen or a high resolution computer monitor: you need to use a different output format and in many cases you must choose additional or different software to make your slide show.
    There are a few possibilities if you have only Photoshop Elements; however, many people will either not have the necessary hardware or will wish to share with others by sending them a disc to play on the recipients TV. Therefore, many people can not choose these options.
    1 -- If you will play back only on a computer, you can investigate using the PSE slide show Output command to make a WMV file output at a higher resolution.
    2 -- If you have a Media Center computer connected to a TV or an HDMI connection from computer to TV, you may be able to play a similar WMV output file on your TV.
    On the subject of other software :
    1 -- Adobe offers Premiere Elements (which is basically video software) for making TV playable slide shows burned to a DVD disc (so you must have a DVD burner hardware also).
    2 -- Many people have instead chosen to use ProShow Gold, which does have multiple output formats that are higher resolution and therefore can produce higher quality images on computer monitors and large screen TVs.

  • I make greetings cards and use images downloaded from cardmaking websites eg - cently I find I cannot copy and paste an image from adobe reader which is the how the images are downloaded. Why is this and how do I copy and paste an image on a  adobe reader

    copying and pasting images from adobe.     I make greetings cards and use images downloaded from cardmaking websites eg - printable heaven. Recently I find I am unable to copy and paste the images which are opened in adobe reader. Why ?  How can I overcome this problem.

  • Today my screen went all fuzzy and everything is a different shade of red, blue, etc and the images are distored.  Please tell me how to resolve this major problem????

    My screen is fuzzy and images are distorted.  How can I resolve this problem?

    If the Reset/Reboot doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • Some Artwork Images are Bad-Fuzzy

    Most of the Artwork for my CD's on iTunes is very clear however when viewing on my IPhone or IPod the images are very fuzzy. Some I've copied from EBay, can someone suggest how and where to get clear-looking album, artwork, if not available from iTunes?

    Buz,
    If you select one of the images for which you can't see the thumbnail, Control + Click and select "Get Info". Can you see the thumbnail Preview in that view (Expand it if necessary)? What are the Sharing & Permissions at the bottom?

  • Illustrator CS4 no longer allows me to paste images "Quicktime and a decompresser are needed to view this image". How do I fix this?

    Since I installed the Yosemite Mac software upgrade, my Illustrator CS4 no longer allows me to paste images. I get the message "Quicktime and a decompresser are needed to view this image". How do I fix this? I've tried everything, nothing works!!!!

    Did you use migration with the new OS or did you reinstall the CS4 apps from the original media? If you didn't, then you should uninstall CS4 making sure to check the box to remove preferences, run the Cleaner tool (Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6) and then reinstall CS4. CS4 is totally untested and unsupported on the latest versions of Mac OSes.

  • Images are missing in Project Manager

    I’m replacing old images with new ones in RoboHelp HTML 10.
    I’ve deleted the old pictures in Design view and pasted the new pictures in. (I know this is not the recommended way but with lake of time I found it to be the fastest way and we don’t feel the need to give the files described names at the moment.)
    It has worked fine until now when I noticed that some images are not showing in Project Manager. I see the “folder” Images and I see a lot off images there but some are missing. The “missing” images are shown in Design view and in the browser after publishing. But in the report Unused files the “missing” images are listed as unused.
    I have tried to
    close and reopen the project,
    generate and publish the project,
    delete an “missing” image from Design view and insert it by using Insert / Image. After saving this image, and some other “missing” images, are shown in Project Manager. But not all “missing” images.
    Does anyone know why this is, or more important how to get Project Manager to show all images that are used in the project (without having to go through all 154 images trying to figure out which are used but “missing”)?
    Some more facts:
    They are all gif-images.
    They are all stored at the top-level in the project folder. (Are there a limit how many images there can be in the top-level folder?  Should I create a separate folder and move the pictures there?)
    HTML-code for one “missing” image:
              <img src="image7.gif" alt="" style="border: none;"
                     border="0" />
    Grateful for any input!

    I would have said "Try renaming the folder containing the images in Rh's Project Manager. That sometimes fixes the problem. You can revert to the old name afterwards."
    Keeping all the images, and / or topics, in the root is never a good idea. It can slow things down and it's messy.
    You can move the images you can see but obviously you cannot move the others. Try moving a topic that has one of the images to a different folder and see if that refreshes. Also try deleting the CPD file and reopening Rh.
    Backup first.

  • Can't can't paste images into PS CS5

    So this problem seems to have randomly popped up and I don't know the cause or how to fix it.  I have lost the ability to paste bitmap images from external applications like web browsers, specifically Chrome, Firefox or IE.  I am reading all over the place that people are having issues with copy/paste but there doesn't seem to be any definitive solutions or situations just like mine.
    When I copy an image, now matter how (ctrl-v, right-click, copy image, Edit>Copy etc etc), i am not able to paste that image into an open photoshop document.  Paste options are grayed out in Edit menu.  Edit>Purge>Clipboard is grayed out.  Ctrl-V does nothing at all.  It's like photoshop isn't reading my computers clipboard.  Format also does not seems to be an issue
    Things seem to be fine with copying and pasting within Photoshop itself, and from other adobe apps like Illustrator CS5 to Photoshop CS5 works fine as well.  I realize that I can save images to my file system and then open or place in Photoshop, but that's not my normal workflow and eats up time. 
    This is running in Windows 7 64-bit.  Also tried clearing my preferences when opening Photoshop, and that didn't help at all.  Also "Export Clipboard" is enabled in General Prefs.
    I should also mention copy/paste from external applications into Photoshop CS3 is working just fine. 
    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 

    yes, dived in deeply to the problems that other people were having and unfortunately they aren't quite like mine.  seems to be more common to not be able to copy/paste between adobe programs. and the typical response has no solution and that is just some kind of unaddressed intermittent bug. 
    and yes, all plugins disabled.  bummer.

  • How do I copy and paste images without a reduction in size?

    I am working on a project where I want to include several jpeg images that are saved on my computer onto a new single 8.5x11 page in Photoshop. Even though the percentages are the same on both the images and the Photoshop page, when I copy and paste the images onto the page, the size of the images are greatly reduced (from 5" to 1".)  I would greatly appreciate instruction on how to copy images and paste them on to a Photoshop page without the reduction in image size. I have accomplished this task previously and I had no problem. Is there a setting that I am unaware of that I need to change in order to proceed with the project as planned? Thank you for your time.

    You are a genius! That's it. Thank you so much for taking the time to help...

  • Problems copying and pasting multiple slides from one captivate to another.

    I have been able to copy and paste several slides into
    another captivate and suddenly this has stopped working. I am using
    the ctrl key to select multiple slides (a set of 3) and the using
    the Edit drop-down to select copy slide. Then, I click on the other
    captivate and click paste slides. It is only bringing 1 slide, the
    first one, and not the 2nd and 3rd... any ideas. I've had another
    set of eyes look over my shoulder... and we're both scratching our
    heads.
    Also, for some reason the text entry boxes are being copied,
    but the failure caption associated with it does not come along. It
    also copied the button but lost the association with the text entry
    box. WTH?

    This might work, this might not. I have copy paste problems
    on a regular basis and all that works for me is closing Captivate
    down and then re open and continue. At worst, a reboot tends to
    solve this glitch in my experience.
    Good Luck

  • Unable to copy and paste images in latest "Pages"

    I use to be able to copy and paste images in my old pages by ctrl + click and choose "copy" and then reverse the process by ctrl + click and choose to paste it.
    But now since I updated to the latest pages I am unable to execute this function.
    My computer has OS X 10.9.1 and Pages 5.0.1.
    Is there any way I could get this working by the above mentioned method.
    Regards

    It is not ctrl. Unless you are talking about right clicking and using the contextual menu.
    It is command c (copy) command v (paste).
    There are a number missing features in the contextual menu in Page 5.
    Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5.

    Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
    Archive/trash Pages 5 and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.
