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!

Why is my cropped photo out of focus

I started with a large jpg, 4.6 M. Fully enlarged in the iPhoto window the photo was in sharp focus. I cropped just the face, but the resulting photo was out of focus. I can't figure out why.

What is the pixel size of teh cropped photo? No matter how large the original photo is if you crop too small you will end up with pixelization (not a focus issue)
And it is possible that the are you are corpping to is not really in good focus and that becoms more pronounced as it becomes the only remainin gportion of the photo

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.

Photos out of Focus

When I was first using iPhoto '11 I realized that while editing my photos they looked out of focus. If I went to the next photo and came back to the same photo I was just editing. The edit was complete and the photo was back in focus.
Yesterday I did the update.
Since then any photo that I do any type of editing on goes out of focus before I even do anything.
The other issues that I just started to have is the cropping tool has a mind of it's own. Also when you "flag" a photo in an album, sometimes it will show up in the flagged items and sometimes it won't.
My "trash" bin has no number next to it. But if I click on the trash it has over 600 pictures that I haven't put in there?
Does anybody know how to fix the focus issue? I am a photographer. I can't worry about all of my photo's becoming out of focus if I open them on iphoto.
Thanks for any ones help.

I've noticed the same thing. When editing in full screen mode everything looks soft. I have to zoom in to confirm focus (even a little zoom shows the actual sharpness more accurately). They probably are using an alias image to speed up previews of global edits, but it is annoying.

Why are my photos out of focus?

A while back my camera wasn't auto focusing well. I sent it in for repair. I haven't used it much lately. I too some flash phots of my granddaughter last week end and they are not in focus. What would be the most likely causes of them not being in focus. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
Carl
Solved!

What camera and lens do you have? Is it the kit lens? I have sent 2 kit lens (18-55mm) for repair because the focus cable inside the lens disconnected while zooming. Thus the camera confirms focus but the photo come out blurry.

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.

TS3992 I m iCloud user.recentely I reset my iPad.after getting back up I seen that 90%my photos lost.and remaining which I get fro iCloud were out of focus.almost my albums shown empty.how can I recovered my lost photos from iCloud.

After resting my ipad2 I lost 90% my photos and remaining are out of focus.please help me to recover my photo.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

Out of focus photos after burning dvd.

I am using Magic iDVD in iDVD 08. Have created a movie with photos imported from iPhoto. All appears to be well when I preview the movie prior to burning it (i.e. photos are clear and sharp, and burning process appears to go as it should). But when I view the burned DVD all the photos are quite out of focus. This occurs whether I watch the DVD on my iMac or TV. Am using Philips DVD-R discs. Have tried different encoding settings with no difference in results.

It looks to me like the flash fired for the shot, but the camera also kept the shutter open for a fairly long time to reach optimum exposure. Can you check and see how long the exposure was? It appears that the bright, flashed parts of the photo are sharp, so I don't think it's an optical problem. The flash froze some of the image, but handheld camera shake created the blurring. Try a similar shot on a solid tripod. Or reset the exposure so that it's short enough to handhold and try again. I'll often do dusk or nighttime shots on aperture priority setting with a flash to light up someone in the foreground. The shutter stays open long enough to light up the dark, unflashed areas in the background, leading to a long exposure, so I have to use a tripod and have a model that can stay very still. Otherwise the photos end up looking like your shot. As far as saving the photo that you posted--it would take a huge amount of effort by someone that's very good with Photoshop.

Why are some of my photos tack sharp while others in the same series are out of focus?

My camera is a Canon Rebel XS (dSLR) and I primarily use the 50mm f/1.8 lens.
I shoot in Manual Mode with Autofocus ON.
I am having difficulty with my photos coming out incositant - some are out of focus, while others in the same series (taken a moment apart) are tack sharp.
I've attached two examples - one of the out-of-focus image, the other sharp images (both have been blown up).
It is not camera shake and my settings are identical for both photos. (ISO 200 | f/4.5 | 1/100sec in this instance.)
This has become such a problem that I find myself needing to take 10x more photos of the same subject/pose in order to hopefully get one sharp image from the series.
I have asked multiple people about this problem (though I have yet to take my camera and lens to a shop due to lack of funds) and no one has any idea of either what I'm talking about or what the problem could be.
I would appreciate your thoughts and help!
Thank you!
Fuzzy/Out of Focus:
Sharp:

This new pair of images does not look like camera motion -- this one looks like it missed focus.
If you use the included Canon Digital Photo Professional that came with your camera, you can right-click an image and tell it show you the focus point which were used (the camera wont know if you did a focus-and-recompose technique... so if you recompose after locking focus then the focus points indicated by DPP wouldn't be meaningful). But I bring this up because it would allow you to determine which focus point the camera claims it used.
I think you mentinoned that you used "One Shot" focus mode -- not AI Servo. One Shot should block the camera from taking the shot until it thinks it confirmed focus-lock on the selected AF point (or on at least one AF point it you allow the camera to pick from any of its available focus points.) In AI Servo the camera WILL take the shot when you fully press the button -- whether it successfully locked focus or not.
That brings us back to the subject of the focus test.
If you do not own a commercial chart, then you may want to download one from the Internet and print it. Here's a good site: http://regex.info/blog/photo-tech/focus-chart
Print the chart and follow the instructions. I deliberately run the camera out of focus to nearest focus distance and force the camera to re-focus and shoot... and I repeat this at least a half-dozen times. I then repeat... but this time deliberately run the camera out of focus to infinity before forcing the camera to focus and take the shot.
Track each shot as you do the focus test. You may see a pattern emerge (e.g. perhaps it nails focus when going in one direction to find focus... but misses in another, etc.) Such a pattern might indicate the lens is getting sloppy and needs service (it's usually not worth servicing the 50mm f/1.8 due to it's low cost.) The USM and STM lenses allow full-time manual focus override (even if the lens is auto-focusing). The basic auto-focus motor lenses (like the 50mm f/1.8) do not support this and forcing manual focus without disengaging the focus system can be harmful.

Pixel Dimensions after Cropping with "Use Photo Ratio"

Why don't Pixel Dimensions (and Document Size) change for Image Size after cropping with "Use Photo Ratio" like it does after cropping with "No Restriction"? Using Photoshop Elements 10 and Crop Tool defaults.

Thank you all. I think I figured out how to crop using "Use Photo Ratio"
with Crop tool so that I can ensure that my photos are cropped only
proportionately and PSE 10 doesn't upsample pixels:
1) Select Crop tool.
2) Set "Use Photo Ratio" in Aspect Ratio setting in Options bar if not
already set.
3) Make crop selection as usual but don't complete (commit) crop. Will
only be able to crop proportionately.
4) When ready to complete crop, change Aspect Ratio setting to "No
Restriction" which blanks out width, height and resolution setting.
5) Complete (commit) crop as usual.
Photo will be cropped proportionately, width and height will change
automatically to cropped size and pixels will not be upsampled avoiding
lose of detail, that is, PSE will behave as though No Restriction had been
specified from the outset. Blanking width and height before making crop
selection forces either Custom or No Restriction setting which means that
PSE will let me make non-proportional crop.
PS. IMHO I think making "Use Photo Ratio" force upsampling is NOT a good
"design feature" when you are not warned about it and are not given a
choice to not make it upsample.

Some of my still photos move up and go out of focus

I am making a slideshow and some of my photos move up a little and slightly go out of focus one frame after the in video transition effect. They remain out of focus until the next transition and then they move back down and go into focus one frame before the out transition. I am using the Fade in Fade Out Dissolve effect. The photos are in focus during the video transition effect. They are acting as if I have a double image. This is not happening to all the photos. Any suggestions on how to correct this and how to prevent this from happening?

Mac OS X (10.4.4)

My photos come from images in IPhoto. They are clear photos and work well in a IPhoto slideshow. They appear to jump up and out of focus just after the dissolve transition then they jump back down and into focus during the exit dissolve transition to the next photo.

Where are my photos on the PC after sync with an iphone? I know nobody out there is stupid enough to suggest to me that they are encrypted and inaccessible, right? Seriously? How stupid would Apple corporation have to be to do something like this?

Where are my photos on the PC after synching with an iphone? I know nobody out there is stupid enough to suggest to me that they are encrypted and inaccessible, right? Seriously? How stupid would Apple corporation have to be to do something like this? That would be just as foolish as making my music unusable on the PC...
Okay, Let's assume that Apple is indeed THAT foolish.......How does one get the photos from the phone to the PC and still use them?

The photos are still on your phone, and if enabled in your Photo Stream. They are not automatically transferred to your computer when syncing.

I have finally figured out how to export an iphoto album so that I can maintain the proper order of the photos after burning the file. How do I keep each individual photo title and description after exporting and burning?

I have finally figured out how to export an iphoto album so that I can maintain the proper order of the photos after burning the file. How do I keep each individual photo title and description after exporting and burning? Presently after exporting and burning each photo is identified by the file name rather than each individual title description.

File name and Title are not the same thing.
Filename is attached to the Jpeg file in the Finder.
Title is attached to the photo within the Jpeg file - as is the description. These are written to the Exif and IPTC metadata on export.
So: File -> Export. Kind: Jpeg or Tiff and Check the box at 'Title and Keywords'. This will write the Title, keywords and descriptions (though not explicitly stated) to the metadata. This can then be viewed in any app that understand this material.
You can choose, if you wish, to also use the Title as a Filename - that's an option at File Name

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

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?
