Photos fuzzy

I purchased iWork instead of upgrading Microsoft Office. I was hoping to insert photos into documents and get crisp printouts, like in Office (which I could not get with AppleWorks). My photos still come out with poor printing quality. Any suggestions?

Tim,
I have the same problem and my photos are from an 8MP Canon digital slr, so I KNOW its not having to do w/the resolution of my image. I've noticed that when I go to resize the photo in Pages it looks sharp, but as soon as I let go of the corner it gets softened and stays that way. The same thing happens in iWeb & this is SO frustrating. My photos are totally sharp when I import them but then get soft and fuzzy and they print that way too. I'd really be interested to see if anyone knows a way around this.

Why is my iPad 2 cropped photo fuzzy?

I used to be able to crop pictures with no problem. Got an os update last night. Now when I edit & crop a photo, it becomes pixelated & fuzzy when I hit save. What's the deal?

Got the answer from Apple Support. Cropped photo is fuzzy because the photo came from the internet instead of my Ipad 2 camera. This had nothing to do with the update. I had cropped camera pictures earlier and then tried internet pictures and got the fuzz. Problem solved!

Photo fuzzy after cropping

Hi!
When i crop a photo in Aperture or Photoshop, it becomes fuzzy when i export it. This happens even if I set "fit within pixels". It does not happen if i only adjust the photo, neither it does not happen i iPhoto. Also, i've done this many times before with the exactly same equipment; camera, computer and programmes, and it has been no problem before some weeks ago...
Thanks,
Johanna

You could try Photoshop (Elements or CS), Pixelmator or another image editing app to resize the photo. I don't hold out a lot of hope for any significant increase in quality this way, because you will be enlarging a low res original.
Another option would be to open the image in Safari or other browser (see the More Info > Where from address) and then use Grab to capture the image on screen (instead of downloading the jpg file).
Note that Grab saves images as TIFF files. You will need to convert the TIFF to jpg to use it in FCE. The easiest way to do this is open the saved TIFF image in Preview, then do a Save As jpg. You may get some better resolution this way. But again, it's not a high quality image in the first place!

Photo fuzzy after adding effect on FCE 4

Hi, i'm currently using final cut express 4 and am having some photo technical difficulties? Im using an Apple Intermediate Codec format for the current project with an HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 720p30 with a rate of (all rates). Now when I place a photo on timeline it's fine, no need to render. It looks crisp and fine. Here are the image properties:
But when I add a video effect to the photo such as Gradient colorize and then I render the photo, the photo suddenly looses it's clarity, it becomes a bit fuzzy.
Can anyone help me out so that when i add an effect and render, it still retains it's clarity?

Convert Document with Photos to Adobe and the images go fuzzy???

Hi, I am at a loss and hope someone can help me.
I'm in charge of making a club newsletter in PowerPoint, and all that goes fine. I'm putting really good quality photo's in it and thats all ok too. But when I convert the document to a PDF with Primo (to view in adobe acrobat), everything else works fine, but all the images go really fuzzy, like a terribly poor quality photo.
Anyone got any ideas on what I can do to avoid this? There must be a way to get a good quality image converted, as I have seen PDF documents with good looking images on them.
Please, any help greatly apprciated.
Thanks in advance.

>I'm not sure if it's professional or not, but it is adobe acrobat 5.0
Ah, Ok. This predates Acrobat Professional, but is much the same.
I recommend you post in the Acrobat Windows forum to reach the people
using Acrobat, rather than the free Reader.
Be sure to say whether you are using the Acrobat PDFWriter driver or
the Acrobat Distiller driver (the former is not used for quality
output).

IPhoto enlarges photo to size of app window - small images get super fuzzy

Hi,
Just upgraded to iphoto 09 from iphoto 06.
In the old version a small photo (say 300 X 400px) would show up at its (small) full size when double clicked. Since the photo was fairly small it would not take up the entire application's window, it would simply show at 100% and there would be some blank area around it.
In the new version iphoto blows up the photo (beyond its full size) to fill up the application's window which, since it's much larger than the size of the photo, makes the photo super fuzzy and miserable to look at. I tried making the iphoto window smaller but it seems to have a minimum size that is still too big for some of these small photos.
Does anyone know how to get iphoto to stop blowing up the picture when I view it? I'm not trying to edit or crop - simply view the photo at its original size. Also, when the photos are double clicked the zoom bar grays out unless I click edit - which is not what i want to do.
Thanks!!

Photos are blurred/fuzzy after transferring them from iPhoneto my computer

I was wondering if anyone else is having the same problem. I have the new iPhone 4s and when I transferred my photos from the iPhone to my PC the picture quality was worse once I transferred them. They are bright and clear on my iphone, but once I transfer them they are fuzzy and muted. Is there a way to fix this. I have tried emailing myself and transfering them using an app as well and each time they come out blurred and not nearly as vibrant as they are on my phone.

yes come to think of it quite a lot of them are purchased music tracks. how would I authorise them to copy onto my ipod from my library. Sorry its probably really obvious but I'm not great with computers.
Thanks

Why do my photos and text disinigrate quality (appear fuzzy / blurry / lo res) in premier pro cs6?

Premier Pro CS6 Question.....
Why do my photos and text disinigrate quality when imported to premier pro cs6?
I have still shots that have text and they look clean and crisp when I view them in photoshop. Why does the photo and text look so fuzzy or blurry and not crisp when I import the still files into premier pro cs6?
Is there a setting in premier that I am setting incorrectly? That is possibly blurring my photos and text? The problem appears in both my PR file and my final exported work.
Is there a way to retain the quality of the image and text that I see in my photoshop file?
Note: I am not enlarging anything after import, I am reducing though, but I would think this would only make images and text sharper????
Any help would be greatly appreciated, Im getting tired of doing all my work and delivering blurry / fuzzy / what appears to be low resolution images and text when I complete my project.
Thanks in advance for any help offered.

Hi Jim, thanks so much again for chiming in to my questions.
Specs of Stills - Photoshop file - 677 x 1014px, 150dpi, 1.96M file size, 150dpi, this is the size of the file I originally imported and reduced to approx. 65%, the one sized properly in photoshop imported fuzzier.
Sequence Settings -
Export Settings, FLV, attached are settings.
1. EXPORT FILTER SETTINGS...
2. EXPORT FORMAT SETTINGS
3. EXPORT VIDEO SETTINGS
FINAL PROJECT IS DELIVERY OF FLV FILE TO EMBED IN INTERACTIVE FILE. Ive tried different settings for different jobs, just feel all text and photos fall apart when pulled into and exported to FLV for embedding final.
Ive done several slideshow and video's in premier pro, have so much to learn still, Im thinking I keep diving into my projects and possibly making a total mess out of my settings for the desired final destination? is this possible?

Photos sent in email to another IMac user are fuzzy

When I email photos from IPhoto to my son who also has an IMac, he receives fuzzy/pixelated photos that are unusable and unenjoyable. What's wrong? Thanks. JoAnne

How are you emailing? What size are you sending?

The photos printed in my iphoto '11 book have come out fuzzy?

The photos printed in my iphoto '11 book have come out fuzzy. they were fine the first time i had them printed, why have they come out fuzzy second time?
I printed a book for a relative a couple of years ago to celebrate his 21st. then this year his younger brother also turned 21, I printed a new photo memory book and used some of the photos in his older brothers book in this new one. Those photos that were used in both books came out fuzzy in the second one when they were fine in the first one. Why could this be and can it be rectified?

Did you use different versions of the photos or different sizes? Have you now used a different iPhoto version? The book templates changed between the versions.
Compare the printed book to the PDF preview of your book. The printed book should look exactly as the preview, see: iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture

Jpeg photos look fuzzy - do you know why?

Hi,
I've imported several jpeg photos into FCE and put them in my timeline. When my playhead is over the picture, the image looks perfect in the canvas window, but when I hit play, the picture in the canvas window gets fuzzy regardless of whether the image has basic motion or is just still. Any ideas how to fix this problem?
The render status bar above the photos is green, so I don't think I need to render them.
I really appreciate all the help you all have given me so far and that you're reading this now - thank you!
Lisa

Green means it needs to be rendered for output. You're watching a lores playback. Render it and look at the output on a video monitor.

Fuzzy photos in screensaver mode

After installing iPhoto 6, some of the already existing photos in my library show up fuzzy when they come up on my screensaver?

I have the same situation. It has nothing to do with photo resolution: my camera is 10 megapixel. Some photos are great, others are jaggy. What gives?

Photo Booth Effects Fuzzy Like a Bad Green Screen

Just wondering about the background effects in Photo Booth & how they work. I know you're supposed to step out of frame and then back in. Ive tried this several times now in different rooms in my house and I never get a solid background. It's always fuzzy/broken up kind of like a bad green screen effect. So just wondering if I'm doing something wrong or that's just how it works.
I am using Lion.

"Is there something wrong with my built-in iSight on my MacBook Pro? "
Nope!
Use as plain a real background behind you as you can. The busier the background, the harder it is for your Mac to tell you from the background.
Have as much light behind you and in front of you as possible. I found that lighting is a huge key to making the effect work well. If possible use hologen lights. The brighter your room, the better BE works. Matter of fact, your BE picture will be perfect.
DO NOT wear the colors green and/or blue.
Good luck & much fun!
