Photos looking out of focus after I save them.

    My photos look great after my layers and saving, but when I try to upload them online, email, or print they don't look the same.Kind of out of focus/blurry.  I've tried for hours and can't seem to figure out why this is happening. Please, if you know, help is needed!!

I just realized they are also not as clear looking
Is the profile embedded and do the programs you use to display the uploaded images use color management?
As for the blurriness: That sounds like some (automatic) resampling may have taken place.

  • Rotated pictures look out of focus

    When I rotate a picture in iPhoto '09 it looks out of focus. If I rotate it back to the original aspect it looks in focus again. It looks good if I rotate it 2 times so that it's upside down, but the same aspect. It's also out of focus if I rotate it 3 times (hopefully that makes sense).
    I've changed the settings on the camera and tried different photo sizes and such but the same thing happened with each try.
    Any idea why this would happen?

    Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    *What's the plist file?*
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

  • Why do my photographs get out of order after I burn them to a CD-R?

    Why do my photographs get out of order after I burn them to a CD-R?  They are in a folder in desktop and in order before I burn the CD.  What am I doing wrong?

    Hi there,
    I don't know if it's too late to help, but I had this same problem and have found a solution that does not involve an iPhoto-only-CD or a slideshow.  So for future users with this issue: 
    The photos get out of order because iPhoto's software arranges them superficially as you please, but when you put them back in an ordinary folder the computer wants to arrange them by date or file name (the original file name).  You're not doing anything wrong, it's just the difficult thing about switching between an application and file storage on the finder. 
    The word you're looking for is Export, under the file menu in iPhoto. 
    Make a new folder on the desktop (or wherever).   Use the Export function under file.  A box should appear.  Choose the quality of JPeg you want, etc.  This next part is key:  if you set the "File Name" bar to "Sequential" the photos will be renamed in your order when they are sent to your new folder.  This way, even if they are sorted by name they will appear in the order you want.  You can also put a prefix on it, for instance "Paris-" would give you files named "Paris-01", "Paris-02" etc.  Now you should be able to burn the new folder on a disk using the usual methods.  And your PC friends will be able to see it! 
    P.S. you could also just upload the ablum to flickr, facebook, or something in the cloud and keep your order that way.  But if you want a hard copy this is way is handy. 

  • Photos out of focus after crop

    I'm not exactly sure what's happening. I crop a photo, then my cropped selection goes out of focus! If I zoom in a little bit, it's nice and clear, but won't save that way!! I'm confused...HELP!
    thanks!

  • Any fix for photos being out of focus when in edit mode?

    found several discussions about this but no fix. My photos can be sharp as a tack but as soon as I click on "edit" they go out of focus. Sometimes they are out of focus before I ever click on edit but if I zoom slightly they are in perfect focus. I can view them in "preview" on my macbook and they look great. This is obviously frustrating as I can trying to edit them but can't see exactly what I am working with b/c they are showing up blurry. My macbook is a late 2008 and i have the latest version of everything else.
    Not sure how long this has been going on but I just noticed it today. I thought my new camera (nikon d7000) was the problem, but as soon as I zoomed a bit I saw they were actually in focus to begin with. Thanks!

    So far it appears that the only work around is to zoom a tiny bit  --  report the problem to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback

  • I have an older version of imovie.  After I change the photos using the Ken Burns effect and save them, the next time I open the file and click 'show photo settings' to change the zoom, the picture appears black and I can't change the zoom?

    I have a five year old version of imovie that generally works fine.  However, when I add a photo using the 'Ken Burns' effect then save the movie, the next time I open the file and click 'show photo settings' the picture appears black and I cannot change the zoom.  Any suggestions?

    Have you rendered both iOS 7 and iOS 8 (both of which will work on your iPhone 5) out of the question entirely without trying every possible configuration? The animations can be disabled entirely, if that's the problem. And if the whiter-brighter user interface is the problem, there's reverse-contrast modes that darken everything. You can expose accessibility controls to gain immediate access to these functions to toggle them on and off. I guess my point is you may have decided against upgrading the OS based on an early experience with iOS 7 when Apple has since made changes in later revisions to address some of the usability complaints.
    Now, Apple's instructions for downloading older versions of apps is to do so from the Purchased list, not from the app's product page.
    See here:
    Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X - Apple Support
    Let us know how that works for you.

  • Magnified photos are out of focus

    When I magnify a photo in iphoto11 it is out of focus. How can I fix this?

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • Cursor out of focus after error message

    Hi,
    We have build an application using forms 6i.
    When using the application sometimes after getting an errormessage in a form the cursor stays in a field( after acknowledging the message) and can't move to another field. Also navigating to a poplist shows the values but when releasing the mousebutton it jumps back to the original field.
    I can't reproduce this behaviour at will but it just sometimes occurs. Nothing helps but stating the browser again.
    Has anybody experienced this behaviour?
    Does anybody have any clue where to look?
    Regards,
    Joshua

    Check these things before you do anything with your system:
    *How is the drive formatted?* If it's FAT32, that's the problem and you will have to reformat the drive as Mac OS Extended to use it with Final Cut Express. But make sure you *back up your files first*, because reformatting erases the entire disk.
    *How is the drive connected* - Firewire or USB? If Firewire, are there any other Firewire devices connected, especially a camera. If so, disconnect the camera.
    What is the exact make & model of your external hard drive?
    Are you using this external hard drive as a *Time Machine backup drive?* If so, you should *turn off* Time Machine before you export to this drive. Actually, you should not use a TM backup drive at all for video projects.

  • Photos look like film negatives after color correcting

    I tried following Scott Kelby's instructions for color correcting digital images in PSE 10. I was entering the values he gave for the R,G and Blue channels. I got off track and probably missed a step. Anyway, now when I try any of the auto correction features, my images look like film negatives and not like a regular digital image. How can I re-enable the auto correction features (levels, color correction, etc.) ?

    Make an levels adjustment layer and Alt (option) click on the Auto button in the levels dialog.
    Then in the Auto Color correction Options set the RGB values for
    Shadows RGB 0,0,0
    Midtones RGB 128,128,128
    Highlights RGB 255,255,255
    Then check Save as Defaults

  • IPhoto 9.3.1 update still does not fix issue with photo being out of focus when you hit the edit button

    I thought that this update would finally fix this, but this is not the case. I haven't been able to edit my photos for over a month now since the last update because of this. APPLE PLEASE FIX THIS.

    Apple don't promise to read things posted here.
    iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback is the route to them.

  • Viewers may think your photos are out of focus and navigate away with a "pshaw!"

    Suggestion for Adobe re: our online albums that people can access (such as http://bclayshannon.photosho.com):
    When images are loading, use an hourglass or even some text to let the user know the fuzzy picture they are at first seeing is not the "final" image: just "hold your horses/keep your pants on" and the image in all its glory will soon display - something to that effect (at least an hourglass).

  • Songs are slowed down after I save them in Garageband

    I am new to recording and macs altogether so bear with me. I am running an MBox 2 as my USB interface with Garageband into a Macbook Pro 2.16GHz. When I record, everything works fine and I'll save it. Then when I open it again and listen to it, the playback is much slower than when I recorded it but in the right key. I'm not sure if I need to reset the tempo or what, but I can't seem to save any song and then reopen it without it being slowed down considerably.
    Any thoughts?

    I am in the same boat as you, but with a tad bit more experience. Have had an MBP for about 2 months now, MBOX 2, and do a lot of recording with GarageBand.
    Something that I have come to understand is that recording software such as Garageband or Pro Tools (which I use occasionally) has to retrieve files that are on the HARD DRIVE in order to play them back, while they are being played back. Therefore, if one did not know that HARD DRIVE speed was important (which I did not), you're a bit out of luck. There are two speeds of hard drives optional on the MBP, one is around 7000 and one is around 5000, unfortunately for me, I bought the 5000, and so playback is sometimes slow, and its frustrating.
    Here's what I would suggest. First, export what you have of your song that is slowing down into iTunes and then play it. See if it plays back in iTunes at the speed you recorded it.
    If it does... Go to the optimizing garage band performance page and do everything in all steps. Free up any available hard drive space you can (don't delete anything necessary but do what you can)... turn bluetooth off... leave all other applications off. .... All of these steps have helped me out a ton and I am able to mix at the speed I recorded.
    If for some reason your problem is different from what I've experienced, lemme know and I'll look into it.
    Peace

  • Why do my photos come out too dark when I print them?

    Bonjour from France,
    I am trying to print photos but they come out too dark. We have just bought a new mac mini, and are trying to learn how to use it. We are using a Canon printer. Any help would be appreciated.
    thank you,

    What colour profile are the Photos? What is the Printer set to use?

  • Photos tweaked but what size do I save them?

    I have been using PE7 for a few weeks now and am very pleased but realising that I can't keep on saving pictures at full size every time.  So what should I do when re-sizing to keep at a sensible file size but retaining a lot of the goodness.
    Is is the maximum number of pixels across one side, is it the resolution pixels per inch, or saving with a lower quality setting when saving as a jpg. I use a small programme called jpegresizer6 which gives me the option of batch processing but I really could do with some help on how?
    Thanks.

    Really? Why not?

    Most people I know keep the photo at full size, and save at something less than full quality (for example, quality 8 or 9).
    Batch resizing is something I would not recommend. I consider it to be an atrocious practice, because you are taking your original photo (or an edited version) and deliberately removing detail and resolution from the photo.
