Photos with scale fx too blurry

I 'm still having the same problem with my photos, I've tried many ways, from changing the settings of my sequence, to reinstaling FCP....
I'm trying to show 8 seconds photos with a very slow and sutile zoom in. and it just plays back blurry and flickered.
If the photo stands still looks fine, but as soon as I apply the scale fx, disaster happens.

ONLY JUDGE THE QUALITY OF YOUR MATERIAL ON AN EXTERNAL NTSC MONITOR, OR AT LEAST A TV.
1. Disable overlays on the canvas
2. Make sure you've rendered everything (no green bars at the top of the timeline

DV footage requires large amounts of data and many computations. In order to maintain frame rate and be viewable at a normal size, only about one-fourth of the DV data is used in displaying the movie to the screen. However, the DV footage is still at full quality, and is best viewed thru a TV or NTSC monitor routed thru your camera or deck.

  • I am using iPhoto version 9.6 and I can no longer get an email sent with a photo attached. I get an error message saying the email did not go through because the server did not reply. I can send the photo with Mail. Help!

    I have upgraded to Yosemite and also updated the iPhoto application to version 9.6. I am no longer able to send a photo from iPhoto via email. I get an error message saying the server is not responding. But, when using the same server in Mail, I can attach the photo and send it. My wife is using the older version of iPhoto and it works fine.
    I have checked the settings for the outgoing server, etc. and the Mail settings match those in iPhoto.
    Could this be due to either the Yosemite upgrade or the iPhoto upgrade?

    This solution is for those of you using 2-step verification for your Apple ID and are using iCloud as the mail server that you are trying to mail photos with.
    I too had this issue. The problem in my case occurred because I had setup 2-step authentication for my Apple ID. If you have done this then you will get the error message "the mail server did not recognize your email/password...". To solve the problem go to:
    https://appleid.apple.com
    Click "Manage Your Apple ID"
    Verify your identity with the device you selected (if this step does not show up then you have not likely set up 2-step authentication and this is not your solution)
    Click Password and Security in the left column
    Click Generate an app-specific password
    Enter iPhoto as the name of the app
    Copy the password and paste this into the password box in iPhoto where you would normally enter your apple ID (in the mail account section in iPhoto preferences).
    And...voila' (I hope)

  • Blurry photos with zoom lens

    I have a canon xsi that takes lovely, crisp pics with the EFS 18-55 IS lens and a EF 50 1:1.4.  I wanted a zoom to take pictures of sporting events like soccer, baseball, and horseback riding.  I purchased Canon zoom EFS 55-250 1:4-5.6 IS.  Every single picture I take with this lens is blurry.  If a take a photo with a FL of 55 or 250, the image is blurry.  If there is action or if I'm zooming in on a still object, the image is blurry.  I have used the lens in great lighting conditions, and still blurry images.  I have made sure the the settings for the lens include stabilizer "on".  I have tried to trouble shoot, but have missed too many shots and need expertise.  Not sure if there is more for me to do (operator error), or is this an issue with the lens?

    The lens, in general, is a fine lens.  It's possible that you got a bad copy. If it is truly "every single photo" then most likely this is the case.  If you really mean, a lot of images are blurry then it could depend on many things.  If you posted a few examples (with EXIF data) it would help us determine if it's the lens or user error.
    In general longer lenses require faster shutter speeds to get sharp photos.  But if you've taken photos in good light (i.e. fast shutter speeds) and it's still blurry then something is off.  Hard to say what that something is without seeing images, otherwise we'll just have to guess. Common questions would be:
    Are you able to manual focus and get good photos?  Were you in autofocus at all?  Did you get confirmation (beep) that AF locks?  Is the image clear in the viewfinder?  What is the shutter speed?  etc.

  • How do print from photoshop CS3  to my new epson XP520 printer? The photos are now far too dark: never had this problem with any other printers?

    Help please.  I have a new Epson XP 520 printer and do not know how to set the CS3 print to get good results as my printed photos are now far too dark.  Never had any problems with previous printers and despite changing settings have been unable to resolve.

    System info? Exact print settings? Color management?

  • Photos with noise reduction filters applied shows too much noise in preview mode

    The Noise Reduction filters do an impressive job in Lightroom, but the preview of photos when zoomed out is sometimes poor.
    This becomes especially visible on photos with a high amount of noise reduction applied.
    When zooming in to 1:1 I see that the noise reduction works as it should. Also when exporting the images the noise is removed as it should.
    I wish the non-zoomed preview inside Lightroom was able to show the image with the noise reduction applied more correctly than in version 3.4.
    I'm using Lightroom 3.4 64-bit in Windows 7.
    See samples of image with heavy noise reduction applied in 1:1 screen shot, and then a unzoomed screen shot of the same part of the image. As you can see the unzoomed preview contains much more noise than the zoomed image does.

    I've had to encode with no noise reduction which is a shame, but have to get this DVD done.
    Any ideas for the next one?
    Thanks

  • ?s about restoring library, recovered 800+ photos with File Salvage

    I made two errors that caused me to lose the photos I'd imported to my new internal hard drive. I was determined to start off right and stick to good rules of organization I've learned on this forum. The errors were that I deselected in advance preferences to have iPhoto import the original (thanks again Old Toad, for solving that mystery for me) AND then I emptied the trash and of course the originals got dumped. OT pointed me to File Salvage and I decided to pony up with the purchase. Last night I pulled out huge groups of jpegs onto my external hard drive.
    There seemed to be no way in File Salvage to focus only on the jpegs in the already emptied trash. I think it was showing me all jpegs on my computer. I started finding a photo I wanted, hitting restore and then looking for my next photo. I quickly realized that each photo was then appearing on my ex HD in two layers of folders and each was called jpeg 1. There is no way I wanted to open all those individual folders to get to each photo. There is no apparent way to select some of the photos as you preview them in File Salvage to do a mass export of only the ones you selected. I decided I'd rather transfer huge bunches of them and use Preview to cull out all the backgrounds, and tons unwanted jpegs. This would not be an acceptable solution if I didn't have a brand new HD. I cannot imagine wading through years' worth of jpegs or larger libraries.
    Now I have a few photos of hundreds of images. I have a few questions about when I get ready to re-import to iPhoto:
    Is there anyway to reunite the photos with the PICT title assigned to it when taken? I want them to show the time and date they were taken too. I don't know how I'll sort them back into rolls without that aid. Right now they are a completely jumbled mess sorted by size so I could rule out the thousands of jpegs in the small KB size and zero in on the 1-4 MB size my camera produces. (Strangely I found a few in the 18-20 MB size???)
    I will be putting the originals into folders to regroup them with the subjects or events they were taken from but that still leaves me hundreds of photos in each category in some cases. I'm so used to using iPhoto to sort by name, title, date and I don't know if all that gets masked with the recovery and makes it look like all these photos were taken on the same day.
    I still have my thumbnail aliases neatly organized in iPhoto from when I thought I imported all the missing photos. When I reimport do I get more thumbnails? Should I empty my iPhoto library completely before I bring the originals in? Remember that I'm working with a brand new HD and these mistakes affected everything I have in iPhoto. Right now iPhoto only contains the thumbnails, metadata information, and the modified photos that were rotated in my camera.
    I'm looking at hours of tedious work to restore my photos and any suggestions that will streamline my efforts would be welcome.

    MacLoyal:
    I know of two ways you can rename them, temporarily, sequentially so you can get them into a single or a few folders.
    1 - create a "container" folder and put all of the other folders into it.
    2 - download and launch the iView MediaPro demo.
    3 - in the new catalog window drag the "container" folder.
    All of the files will be imported into the catalog. You can check to see if the capture date in the files has been preserved by selecting a photo and clicking on the Info button at the top. Then in the Photo EXIF section you can see if the capture date is intact. If so then you can sort on the capture date to get them in chronological order. (If needed click on the house button in the tool bar to see all photos in the catalog).
    Now select all and go to the Action->Batch Rename menu item. There select Date and the number from 1. In the #### field put in 3. That will make the last part of the file name -001.jpg, -002.jpg, etc. so they will list correctly in the finder. The old and new names will show in the bottom like this. If you have more than 999 files to rename make that #### field = 4.
    Once they have been renamed you can group them as desired and select and drag them to new folders on the desktop that you've created for that purpose. Of drag directly into an open iPhoto window to create a roll of those particular images. To indicate which ones you've moved hit the 1,2 ...9 keys to assign a color label to them after moving.
    The other way is, after putting all of those folders into a container folder, open the container and type Command-F. Then in the Search window select the following criteria:
    File type = image
    File size is greater than 100 KB
    That will find all of the full sized image within all of those folders. Do a select all and drag into an open iPhoto window. The files will be copied and will be titled jpg 1.jpg, jpg 1_2.jpg, jpg 1_3.jpg, etc.
    You can then do your arranging however you want, batch change the title, sort by date if the the capture date is still there. If you want to physically rename the files you'll have to export them to the desktop using the Use Title option. Then reimport to the library and delete the first set.

  • Best method to seamlessly swap someone's face in a group photo with their face in another photo?

    A band hired me to do a photoshoot of them and it was my first time shooting a band professionally so I was and still am quite nervous about the photos turning out well, especially since they're a well known group and the pictures will be published in a magazine and spread around a lot and attributed to me.  The issue I'm posting here about is that all of the best shots I got of the group are good except for one member who will either be making a weird expression or has their eyes closed.  I took a lot of photos but I didn't really get any where each member of the group looks good in the same photo; they each look good throughout the set of photos, just not all at once in one photo.  What I'd like to do is replace that member's face in the otherwise good photo with her face from another photo from the shoot where her eyes aren't closed or she has a better expression...but I feel like I'm playing with fire by doing this since I really don't want it to be obvious that I photoshopped it in any way, either to the band or anyone who views the photos later on.
    I'm decent with Photoshop but I'd still like to know what the best method of doing this would be so that it looks as natural/unaltered as possible.  Any suggestions?
    Also, the photos I'd be switching the faces in were mostly shot from the same angle and with the same lighting and exposure but a few were shot from slightly different angles or the exposure is slightly different, which makes it more difficult.  If, for example, due to flash settings the photo I'm trying to paste a face into (let's call it Photo A) is slightly brighter than the photo I'm trying to copy the face from (Photo B), what's the best way to merge/adjust the two so that the brightness levels in Photo A and the layer from Photo B are as similar as possible?
    (I'm using PS CS6)

    Ideally, if you have several shots from the same place, with that band member's head in a similar angle, you could do something like this:
    1.  Choose the Polygonal lasso tool.
    2.  Set it to feather a few pixels.
    3.  Select around the facial features in the image with the good face.
    4.  Paste the good face on the otherwise good background and move it into position over the bad face.
    5.  Set it to be partially transparent to help you align it.  Use Edit - Free Transform to rotate or scale it if it's off a little.
    6.  Make it fully opaque, and use Curves, etc. to perfectly match the exposure, if it's off a little.
    Clearly you can do this with the mouth, eyes, whole face, etc.

  • Managing Photos with new iPad Air???

    Hi,
    I was looking to get some insight from experienced users on the best way manage photos with the new iPad Air. Oviously, im not too familiar with the subject as, i do not use any iPad and i am trying to set one up for someone else who recently purchased one.
    So here is what i need to be able to do:
    There are a bunch of pictures i need to upload into the iPad (more or less 15gig for the first batch).
    Id like to be able to manage these pictures as in be able to delete, organize folders, etc.
    Preferably also be able to export these photos, later on, as a backup in their respective folders as previously organized in the ipad.
    Mainly, the ipad will be the main storage unit of the albums, as this person enjoys viewing them on daily basis. So i believe this rule out using itunes photos syncing. After searching for a while i believe there are multiple third party app which would be better for importing, organizing and exporting photos. Im just not quite sure which as i have not experience it yet.
    *This has become quite a pain since im trying to find a way to minimize the usage of a PC or MAC, so the person would be able to manage their photos with the ipad and i believe it would be simple to transfer pictures taken from their iPhone.
    Any insight would be much appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Have a look at Photo Manager Pro.

  • Photo quality may be too low to print???? how to fix this

    I made a new photo album. a yellow error sign appears in the corner of each photo and says, Photo quality may be too low to print. how can i fix this. THANK YOU

    I had the same concerns when I started making my calendars on iPhoto but I went ahead anyway. Unless you are an absolute stickler for perfect photos (i.e., no grain, top quality, etc.) your photos will print just fine even though you get the yellow warning sign. Now, if you can hardly see the photo on your computer, or it's like really badly out of focus, etc., you, of course, not be pleased because WYSIWYG. I've scanned photos in and put them in iPhoto -- and these were very important to me and my family. I added them to the calendars and I was very pleased with the final products. I've probably made 20 calendars and each one has had at least 3 or 4 of the scanned in photos.
    Use common sense and if it looks really bad to you, don't use it. If the photo is acceptable to you, it will probably print out just fine.
    Good luck - I LOVE these calendars - they make FANTASTIC Christmas gifts.

  • Anything printed with firefox prints too small

    anything printed with firefox prints too small. If I print and email it prints in the center top of the page and is just larger than a credit card. if I adjust the scale to 100% the it prints what could fit on one page onto 4 pages and prints a small portion in the center top of the page and is just larger than a credit card.

    Ok i think i fixed this issues.
    i went to about:config print.print_margin_bottom (and also left, right and top) and right clicked reset (it took out the previous 0.5 value). now the pages look normal on print preview without the large margin

  • Trouble syncing photos with PSE7 (and the folder issue)

    Here's a brief history on what I've done up to now:
    I've had Photoshop Elements 7 installed for a while and I installed the PSE8 trial over top of it. I converted the catalog, and everything sync-wise was fine. After it exprired last night, however, I uninstalled it, and tried to revert back to PSE7. I added some photos to the catalog...
    And there's where my troubles started. When I went back into iTunes to sync with PSE, it showed all of the albums I have previously made in PSE8, even though I uninstalled it. I managed to track down where the PSE8 copy of the catalog from where it was hiding, and deleted it.
    Now, it doesn't even pick up any catalog anymore. Worse, when I sync my photos with PSE, it give me "iPod "" cannot be synced. The required folder cannot be found.". It does NOT give me this message when I sync with custom folders, but I strongly prefer to NOT do it that way and to do so with PSE7 instead.
    I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, restarted computer, nothing helps.
    Does anyone know of a fix so that iTunes sees my catalog again? (Yes, I even deleted all instances of "iPod Photo Cache" from my computer too. Didn't help.)

    Nevermind, seems I posted this in the wrong place.

  • Can anyone help me burn a DVD without the text being too blurry to read?

    I Produce software tutorials with Camtasia Studio and need to burn them to a DVD with an interactive menu.  Every time I have tried, the text areas are too blurry to read.  Any ideas?  I tried CyberLink Power Director 13 and had the same problems.
    dan

    Check the resolution of the menu vs. the primary "movie",  I had a similar issue and determined the menu was at a lower res, which once everything was assembled and burned gave me a very uncrisp menu even though it was blu-ray.  Once I changed the resolution of the menu to match the primary content, it was very crisp.  Just a quick thought.

  • Taking photos with my iPhone5c color shifts from photo to square

    When taking photos with my iphone 5c ios7 I notice the color shifts from photo to square. The color changes are noticible. I have auto focus on, flash off, on both formats I click on the image to get exposure and focus and take the photo.

    Hi Rick,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If the colors look different when you take pictures in "photo" and "square" mode, make sure that there are no filters being used:
    Apply a filter:  (iPhone 4s or later) Tap the filter icon to apply different color effects, such as black & white. To turn off a filter, tap , then tap None. You can also apply a filter later, when you edit the photo. See Edit photos and trim videos.
    If you are seeing unexpected results when taking pictures with your iPhone 5c, these troubleshooting steps can help:
    Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try to remain steady while focusing:
    Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
    Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
    Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
    Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
    If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.

  • Extremely Slow Synching of Photos with iPod 80GB

    Hi,
    I recently purchased an 80GB iPod thinking that I could fit all my photo collections into the device.
    However, when I tried to sync my photos with the iPod, it would constantly stay at "Synching... Do not Disconnect". Well, I have 8000+ photos to be synced, but to have it still stuck at the "synching" stage after 36+ hours is too ridiculous.
    What's wrong? I have no issues transfering my 2000+ songs onto the iPod, which takes only a short while.
    I'm using the latest version of iTunes, running on Windows XP Pro.
    Is this a bug with iTunes or the iPod? How can I overcome this?
    Please assist.
    Regards

    I have had my 80gb for a few months, and it started doing the saem thing a week or two ago. It will not synch a single phot as of recently. I do not know what it is, but i do remember iTunes updating something recently.

  • Find photos with matching capture times?

    I've been using Lightroom as a way to develop RAW images for sometime but I have only recently started to use it as an organizer in a serious way. I've transferred 25000+ photos from various Photoshop Elements catalogs into one Lightroom (2.6) catalog.
    Due to the way I imported from Elements, I have a number a versions of the same photo - for example: DSC4041.JPG and DSC4041_edited.JPG.
    I would like to focus my attention on photos that have the same capture time and do some tidying up of the new catalog. While I can sort by capture time which would put these "duplicates" together, 25000 photos is a bit many to glance through.
    I cannot discover a way to filter the photos to show just the near duplicates. I can use the Stack by capture time to create stacks of photos with the same capture time but then I cannot discover a way to persuade Lightroom to show me only stacked photos?
    Any suggestions?

    Thanks for this suggestion. My folder heirarchy is already organized by date so I could do what you suggest - but it still basically involves looking at each day and effectively glancing (however briefly) at too many shots.
    I've decided instead that I will hunt down duplicates or near duplicates in the file system itself - remove what should go and then ask Lightroom to resync the folder heirarchy which should remove the duplictes. I always write metadata changes directly to the photos and I have backups of the catalogs and the photos should my approach create problems.
