PE10 Pixelated images in monitor

I have just upgraded to PE10 and, after some initial start up problems I had, it seems to be running fine (so far - haven't tried any major edits yet) except that when I play the loaded video files (and stills for that matter) the images in the editor monitor pixelate (they seem ok in pause mode) making editing a little awkward as the images aren't clear (of course).
I created a still title and, whilst not so bad, the text blurs when in the monitor play mode.
I don't think it is a render issue as there have been no major edits merely cuts and shortening of clips.There is no red line in the timeline but I have 'hit' return anyway and the 'Render' information box doesn't materialise.
I am running Windows 7 - 64 bit and this is the version I dowloaded. Screen resolution for the PC monitor is set to 1920x1080.
The video files were shot on a Canon XM2 in 16:9 format and appear fine when run through the camera.
The PE project settings are for 16:9 PAL.
A burned disc plays ok on a televsion through a DVD player.
I took a screen dump of the video whilst playing the video and, although the image is quite small (upload constraints), careful scrutiny will see the pixelation
How can I improve the play resolution of the editor monitor?
Brian

Though the un-Rendered footage on the Timeline is seldom seen as "pixelated," it can be blurry.
There will likely be red lines above the Title, and possibly some of the Video and Still Images. If one Renders, by pressing Enter/Return, those should turn green, and then one will have the best possible playback.This ARTICLE goes into more detail.
Also, having chosen a correct Project Preset, at New Project, can be very, very important for best quality. The Project's Preset should match the Video Assets - the Source Video Files.
Also, if the Still Images are overly-large, Scaling in PS, or PSE, prior to Import, will likely be helpful for both quality and for the necessary processing overhead, required to internally Scale the Images. For Scaling Still Images, this ARTICLE goes into more depth.
What are the pixel x pixel dimensions of the Still Images?
Good luck,
Hunt

Adobe Photoshop CC, problem with color noise/pixelation on the monitor display

After downloading Adobe Photoshop CC, my images come in with color noise/pixelation on the monitor display. I've tried checking the color space preferences, but this doesn't help. I didn't have this problem before. Is there anything else I can check? There's no problem with LR, just Photoshop.

My performance settings are: Available RAM 10905 MB/using 7633 MG (70 percent); cache levels 4, history 20, cache tile size 1024K. However, I noticed under Graphics processer settings, it is set on Advanced Drawing Mode - perhaps this should be changed to Normal or Basic Mode? Your help is very much appreciated.

Dead Pixels, NOT FROM MONITOR

Hi,
I am (and have been for quite some time) running a Dual 1GHZ MDD G4 with a 23" Cinema display. I have never had any problems with dead pixels on the monitor before.
I just recently upgraded to Leopard, with no problems I could see. After using my computer normally for some time, I started it up from sleep to find that my monitor was covered in vertical columns of pixels that were seemingly stuck.
I verified that it was not the monitor, 1) by plugging it into my laptop--everything worked fine, and 2) I can actually take screenshots of the dead pixels.
I have never encountered anything like this before, the pixels are always in the same place, unless you move a window underneath them in which case the original pixels stay on the window, and duplicate themselves repeatedly as the window is moved (shown in the second screenshot I linked to.
Anyways, any insight into what the heck is going on would be much appreciated. Screenshots:

Try booting from either your original System disc or a Tiger/Panther install disc and see if the problem replicates. If it does, it's a hardware problem. Video artifacts like what is shown in your images usually indicate a failing video card - either the GPU or RAM on the card have overheated and been damaged.

Green pixels on external monitor with MBA coming up from sleep?

Has anyone else experienced green pixels on external monitor with MBA coming up from sleep? I can get rid of these pixels either restarting MBA or switch off the monitor for a five secs and then switch it back on. These pixels do not show up within screenshots.. or neither on MBA own screen but they do reappear on external monitor (used with mini DP-DVI-adapter) after every sleep cycle.
http://ssh.nbl.fi/~nbl4264/gp/ (few pics where these green pixels appear on)

I have the same issue with my new macbook.
When i wake the computer from a partial sleep the screen flickers and i get line distortion through the image.
If i put the machine to sleep unplug the mini dvi adapter and replug it in and wake the computer up the problem disappears.
The issue is also intermittent doing about 3 times out of every 10 wake ups...
If anyone has any suggestions it would be great, I a using a new Dell 2208WFP monitor.

Graphics2D.scale() producing pixelated images from vectors

I have a set of JPanels that I am using in my game to display the interface. Each one overrides paintComponent() and draws itself using Java2D. That all works great -- you can zoom in, move around, etc. and it all looks very nice and uses affine transformations.
I'm trying to produce very high resolution images from this interface (for use on a poster) and using scale() is creating pixelated images rather than nice, high res images of the vector data.
My code works as follows:
1.) Create an instance of the interface using some saved game state data.
2.) Create a Graphics2D object from a BufferedImage object.
3.) Scale the Graphics2D object so that the interface will fill the entire image (in my test cases, the interface is running at 800x600 normally, and the resulting image is going to be 3200x1600, so a 4x scale).
4.) Call the interface's paint method on the Graphics2D object. Note that all of the paint methods are using calls to fill... and draw...; nothing is getting rasterized in my code.
5.) Write out the image object to a file (PNG).
A sample of the output is here:
http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w174/toupsz/ScreenShot2007-04-24_11-45-35_-0500.png
The white circle in the upper left hand corner is drawn in between steps 4 and 5. It actually looks correct.
Is there something I'm doing wrong? Is it a deficiency in Java itself? Is there some way to fix it?
Any help would be most appreciated!
Thanks!

Try setting a few hints on your Graphics2D:
g.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_INTERPOLATION, RenderingHints.VALUE_INTERPOLATION_BICUBIC);
g.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING, RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
g.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_TEXT_ANTIALIASING, RenderingHints.VALUE_TEXT_ANTIALIAS_ON);

IPhone 6 Pixelated images on instagram, pinterest and the icons on the app store

Hi!!! I have an iPhone 6, 64GB capacity. All the iOS updates are the latest ones. I'm getting pixelated images on instagram, pinterest and even the icons on the app store, I have tried to turn it of and off but it doesn't seems to work... any idea??.

Hi alex_h1!!!
i'm posting some of the images that are pixelated, I haven't noticed but that includes safari too... Here are some screenshots! I thought maybe it was the internet speed but the same thing happens even on wi-fi .
Thanks!!!

IPhone 5 pixelated images in various apps problem- occurred within last 2 months and must be a result of apple network driver update

iPhone 5 pixelated images in various apps problem- occurred within last 2 months and must be a result of apple network driver update
What's the fix?
Tried reset, restart, reboot, reopen of apps same problem

What do you mean by reboot? Do you mean restore? Because if you haven't restored, then that's the next step. You'll need a computer with the latest version of iTunes and a USB connector.

Pixelated images while playing back a video shot on my iPhone4s

Shot a video of my kid playing soccer and when watching on playback mode on either iphoto or imovie it comes out all pixelated images...

The size of the hard drive that the OS resides upon is not of concern as long as it has enough space for you operating system, the applications and a swap file.
The reason you NEED to keep you media files on a second drive is that it is TOO MUCH to ask of one drive to deal with all the system level read/writes AND to also seek, find and play all your audio AND video AND renders AND graphics and who knows what else you've got going.
to get the best possible playback.
1. Run Diskwarrior and Disk Utilities to make sure the files/directories are clean.
2 Disconect the system from any network.
3. Turn off any screen, power, disk power savers
4.Make the file self-contained
5. Have ONLY the external drive that the media resides upon connected through the firewire bus.
6.Shut down and reboot the machine before you start.
7. Pray.
Cheers,

Pixelated images in safari, please help.

Hi everyone,
Hoping someone can help me with a issue i have with my new macbook pro.
When browsing the net, safari and firefox show really pixelated images. I thought it might be my internet connection compressing data or something, but i have tried other computers on the same internet connection and the images show perfect...
So this makes me think its the macbook. I have upgraded snow leopard from 10.6 to 10.6.2 and updated safari, but unfortunately this didnt help my problem. So now i have ended up here, asking you people, coz im out of ideas.
I will include some screen shots so you can see exactly what i mean.
Notice the bad quality images and even on google's banner it is pixelated heaps...
Please help if you can. Its very annoying. Cheers.

Yes, I see the big ugly squares. They are what appears whenever extremely heavy JPEG compression is applied to a low-resolution image tht has relatively large areas of similar colors. Something somewhere is applying such compression to the pages, or portions of them, that you are viewing in your browser(s). Your MBP is not doing that: it can't. Either the page images (or parts of them) are being compressed by the website owners or, if every web page is affected, they are being compressed by your ISP in the process of being transmitted to you, as Gordito suggests. That would greatly increase the speed of page loading, but at the expense of image quality. You wouldn't see the image degradation on an iPhone or cell phone — the screen is too small — but on the MBP's high-resolution display it would be much more apparent, IF the MBP were receiving the signal in the same highly compressed form as the phone. If the MBP receives the same web pages through an ISP that doesn't over-compress them, they'll look the way they ought to look. So if you are receiving these web pages through a cellular ISP rather than through a broadband connection, take the MBP to a wifi hotspot and connect through wifi instead. I bet things will look different then.
Compressing images is something a web browser can't do: a browser just displays the signal that comes to it.

Photoshop CS6 (vs 13.0.1) Severely pixelated images

I have a iMac, running OS X Yosemite 10.0.1. Almost every time I open any files (RAW or Jpeg) I get severely pixelated images. I'm going from bridge to ACR to Photoshop or browser to Photoshop. it's intermittent. But extremely often. I can close the file and open it and sometimes it's just perfectly fine and sometimes it happens again. Any advice would be great. I keep all of my images on an external hard drive. I have 8 GB of RAM. All programs uptp date.
-trevee.

Or, more likely, it's just the known video driver bugs in MacOS 10.10.
Apple is aware of the video driver bugs and working on a solution.
Until Apple can release a solution, you can disable GPU drawing in Photoshop's preferences and restart the app.
If you really need the GPU features in Photoshop, you may want to consider downgrading to a more stable version of MacOS.

DNGs display as 256x192 pixel images

I picked up Aperture last night and installed the 1.5 update this morning. I imported a directory of DNG files (originally created using an Olympus E-500), and the files display as 256x192 pixel images. ACR correctly displays them as 3264x2448 pixel images. I flipped through the documentation and forums but didn't see any potential fixes. Aperture insists that the previews are up to date.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Andreas
MacBook Pro 2.0 GHz Mac OS X (10.4) 10.4.8

Apple's Aperture pages state that "DNG files must be generated by the Adobe DNG Converter, with the "Convert to Linear Image" option turned off, and created from RAW formats that are otherwise already supported by Mac OS X 10.4.3 or later."
I followed those instructions to the letter in that I created the DNGs from E-500 raw files using Adobe's DNG Converter with that option disabled.
Perhaps Aperture is grabbing the embedded JPEG preview?
Cheers,
Andreas

New Macbook Pro Retina is pixelated on external monitor

I have recently bought a Macbook Pro Retina Display 13" and when I connect it to my external monitor (Samsung) with a HDMI cable the screen is blurry and pixelated. I have connected my old macbook to this monitor with no problems. I tried adjusting the settings etc and some other tips I found online but nothing has worked. Has anyone else had any luck rectifying this problem?
It's a massive pain as I the monitor is reasonably new and I need it in order to study comfortably.

I have an HP 2311x as well. I'm using an HDMI cable and am not having any issues getting the screen to display. I know you said the cable works with a PC but have you tried a different HDMI cable just in case. It might be worth a try. Other than that, I'm not much help.
The issue I had when plugging this monitor into my MBP retina was that the image was very blurry on the HP 2311x. I almost gave up on using it and was going to just buy a Thunderbolt display but after much research I found a custom firmware update that fixed the underscan/blurriness issue. So be prepared for that if you get the screen to display.
If I can find that resource, I will post it here.
Good luck!

CS4 banding, pixelated images

Up until just a few hours ago, Photoshop CS4 was working fine - out of nowhere I began to notice an extreme and "step" banding around soft brushes and gradients where any imaged placed on the canvas was instantly pixelated.
The settings were RGB 8-bit 300dpi on a 600x600p canvas, I am almost certain it isn't my screen as I can see gradients in other programs (fireworks, as well as all internet browsers). I almost always work under these settings and have never experienced a problem like this, I've reset my preferences, switched between modes, and I've never has access to my GPU settings in PS so that can't be it. I should also note that it is visible when printed.
I've even updated CS4, what can I do to fix this.

I'm not seeing excessive banding in the image you posted. No more than should be expected for an 8 bit grayscale image. That actually eliminates a lot of suspects.
That leads me to wonder if it's your monitor settings or video card.
Have you rebooted since seeing this problem?
What's changed since it worked?
How many bands do you see in this image:
Does the following seem smoother than what you see?

Pixelated images in RSS screensaver

I added two RSS photo feeds to my RSS screensaver, one from flickr, one from Picasa online. The photos on both those sites are large, high-resolution photos. Yet 9 in 10 of those photos that cycle through the screensaver have incredibly poor image quality. They're extremely pixelated, making them look like I tried to make stretch a 1x1-inch thumbnail onto the whole 20-inch screen.
When I take one of those photos directly from the web page to make it my desktop background, it displays fine, no pixelation, so I know it's possible to display them good on a big 20" monitor!

If the image already has a custom thumbnail, that is what CoverFlow will display. If it doesn't, then CoverFlow will draw a thumb from the image content, and it will draw thumbs up to about 500 pixels in size. By resaving the photos with Photoshop, you undoubtedly got Photoshop's custom thumbnails clapped onto the image, and those thumbs are only 128 pixels. You have a choice: if you want to see custom thumbs, because they will display faster in Finder, then you will see those in CoverFlow and the quality will be poor at larger sizes; or you can forgo having custom thumbs and allow CoverFlow to draw the larger size thumbnails it is capable of showing. Finder will also draw thumbs for other views for files that have no thumbnails, it will do this on the fly, and will display them just fine, just noticeably slower. You tell it to do so using View->Show view options and check the box to "Show icon preview"--you need to do this for each sort of view (and the wording for showing an icon varie slightly with each sort of view). You can then click the "Use as Defaults" button at the bottom for Icon and List view. Individual folders that have their own settings (they have the "Always Open in" option checked at the top of the View Options pane) won't be affected, if you want them to you'll have to change things for those specific folders in the options pane.
Also, if you opt to not have custom thumbnails, you will need to tell Photoshop to stop putting them on the images. You do this in Photoshop's preferences. There's one "gotcha" doing this though: if the image has an alpha channel Finder will display the file as if the alpha channel were turned on as a mask. The only way to actually see the complete thumbnail for the image is with Photoshop's custom thumb, which will be 128 pixels max size.

Resolution of image in monitor window

How can I get the image in the monitor window to be as sharp as the image in the preview window in Premier Elements 10?

Marcel,
If a Project ONLY has Still Images (no Video), then the Project needs to be set to the desired output, say NTSC (or PAL, depending on where one lives) DV Widescreen 16:9 if going to DVD. This is a departure from a Project's Preset, where there IS Video. Then, the Video will dictate what the Project's Preset should be - a 100% match between it, and the Video. When one has both Video and Still Images, the direction for matching the Project to the Video holds.
With Still Images, it is always best to Scale those, in Photoshop/Photoshop Elements, prior to Import into Premiere. This will do two things: keep the processing overhead lower, and actually yield higher quality. See this article: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/450798?start=0&tstart=0. For an SD Project, we recommend Scaling to no more than 1000 x 750 pixels, unless one needs to do a Pan on a Zoomed Out Still. I Scale to exactly the Frame Size of the Project. For an HD Project, say at 1920 x 1080, we recommend Scaling to no larger than 2000 x 1500.
With Still Images, when one Imports those, and drags them to the Timeline, there WILL be a red line. Same as when one adds an overlay, say a Title, or Picture in Picture, or adds an Effect, or even a Transition - the red line will appear, and for smoothest playback, Rendering of the Timeline, or that portion of the Timeline, will be required.
Good luck, and hope that helps.
