Photoshop CC 3D - placed bitmap image on extruded surface goes nasty when rendered

The extruded face with System Copy on it has gone really nasty. It looked great before I rendered it!
Here's it's sister, which I daren't render...
This is a production project - so I'm VERY ANXIOUS TO FIX IT!!!!

Did you ever get this figured out? I'm having the same problem.
The texture on the front and back surfaces look fine, but the extrusion surface gets blurred.
In my case, I discovered the blur happens along a UV line.
Here's a partial render:
As you can see, the blur is happening along a diagonal line. When I look at the UV texture, I realized that line is part of the texture mapping:
So how can we fix this blurring on the diagonal UV line?
I have my object's texture mapping set to "scale." (Anything will stretch the very few pixels the UV Texture creates.

Best practices for working with large placed bitmap images?

Hey all,
I need some advice on the best way to approach building these files. I've been working on some banners that are very large: 3 x 7 feet.
Each banner has a simple vector graphic treatment at the top and bottom (rectangle with a different colored rule on top, and vector logo) and a small amount of text, just a URL and a headline.The headline is type (not converted to outlines) and usually has some other effect applied to it, say a drop shadow or outer glow. Under these graphics is a full bleed image. The placed images need to be 150ppi at actual size, so they're honking big, sometimes up to 2GB. Once the layouts are approved, they have to go to a vendor for output.
The Illustrator docs are really large, and I've read in other threads how to combat that (PDF compatibility, raster settings). But even still, does anyone have any insight into the best way to deal with these things? The dimensions are large, and then the images are large, and it just makes for lots of looking at the spinning ball of death...
If it were me, I'd build them in InDe, but the vector graphics need to be edited for each one, and I so don't like to do that in InDe unless forced. To me, it's still ultimately a page layout app, not a drawing app. (Old school here.)
FYI, our machines are all MBPs with 8G ram and the latest Intel Core 2 Duo chips, 2.66 and 2.8GHz. If we keep the files local (as opposed to working on the server) it should be fairly zippy... No?
Any advice is appreciated, thanks!

You can get into memory trouble with very large placed pdf files. Tiffs too.
This has to do with the preview, which contains much more information than you need for working with.
On the other hand if you place EPSs and take care not to turn on overprint preview you can get away with huge files.
If you do turn on overprint preview your machine will slow down a lot and the file may become totally unmanageable.
Compare this with to InDesign where you can control the quality of the preview. A hi-res preview will slow you down and most often you don't need it anyway.
I was working (in Illie) the other day on much larger files than you mention – displays for whole walls – and had some considerable trouble until I reverted to the old EPS format. They say it's dying but it ain't dead yet .

When rendered, still images appear in low quality

Hello everyone.
I'm facing an interesting dilemna with Adobe Premiere Elements 8. It usually works fine for me, and with time I have learned to fix most of the details that usually bother unexperienced users such as me.
What happens is that I'm importing still images (JPEG) to my video, and when rendered they're final quality appears to be so low. I mean, you can see the pixels very large, square-like, you know... as if I had a small image and had it stretched out a lot, but that was not the case at all.
I never had this problem before, and I can't recall anything different on my part in this new video.
Any ideas as to how to fix this?
Thanks everyone.

Hi everybody,
It is a bit late to join this discussion but for vacation reasons I didn't follow the PE-Forum for a while.
I think I have a comparable problem like fmrees: Since a couple of days the resolution of the Preview in PE8 is rather poor. Unfortunately I can't say exactly when it startet. Maybe it begun after I rendered the project.
After having read this issue I deleted the rendered files, looked at the preview: still the same. Re-rendering didn't improve the result.
The difference between the problem of fmrees and mine is: I do not use at all still images. The only video sources are AVI-Files from MiniDV.
I looked at other PE-projects I didn't touch for several week: I have the same problem! So probably it is something in the PE- or project-settings, but I have no idea what it could be (I am rather a newbee in PE).

Placed bitmaps in Illustrator from Photoshop have different colour breakdown?

When I place a bitmap in illustrator from Photoshop the colour breakdown changes. In photoshop, it could be set up using a 100% Solid black using CMY 0% and K100% but when I place this in illustrator the breakdown changes to say C:78.89%, M:80.45%, Y:88.90% K:90.45%.
Does anyone know why this happens and how to prevent it?
Thanks!!

You cannot read the exact color values of a placed bitmap in Illustrator, you have to open the imaeg in photoshop. Never use SHIFT eyedropper if you desire color accuracy.
To prove this to yourself, you can use seperations preview to verify there is no CMY in your placed image, or print seperations to a laser printer.
Below are the values I get using shift eyedropper.
But look there is no CMY.

Problem with photoshop automatically resizing placed images

Hi,
I have PS6. I have images that are 144x100 px. When I use file>place ps resizes the image to 108x75. I can't figure out how to make ps quit resizing my pictures. Anybody know?
Thanks

When Pasting, Dragging, copying and placing an image Photoshop will copy all of the image being duplicated original pixels to preserve the image pixel quality the image quality. If the receiving document has a different DPI resolution the image may look a different size in the receiving documents because of the number of pixels added to the document that has a lower or higher dpi resolution. If the image is being placed in if the image pixels exceeds the receiving documents canvas size. Photoshop may scale the smart object layer to fit within the canvas that depends on the users Photoshop's preference. All of the images original pixels are still there in the embedded object. In my Photoshop Collage Scripts I always transform all placed images to 100% size incase Photoshop scaled the placed image. For you can not get the scale percent Photoshop used. Once I know I have the image at 100% size I can use the layer bounds to get the actual number of pixels there are in the placed image. Once I know that I can calculate the scale I need to use to resize the image to fit the area being populated in the collage template. Once resized I center it into place and mask off any excess image pixels.

Photoshop Crashing After Placing/Moving an Image

I run Photoshop Cs6 and this has just recently began, after it has been working fine. After placing the image I would go to select my tool to edit the picture and it crashes.
I can place the photo just fine its always afterwards when I try to do something to it dose it crash, its like the smart object is protect it from editing as the moment I click on any thing even to merge visable it instantly crashes.
I am still able to open the pictures and edit them this way with no problems, its just after they are moved onto a diffrenct canvas dose the problem emerge.

Photoshop save as hires Bitmap

Hi there
I'm currently working on some banners which have to be printed on 4m94 x 1m05. I have a wood texture background and the foreground will consist of images that have been cutout in Photoshop.
The banners will be exported from InDesign to PDF. Now I wonder what's best: importing the background texture in InDesign and placing the other images on top of it (which means that I need hires bitmaps with transparant backgrounds), or should I create the banners in Photoshop (whole composition) and save them to hires bitmaps?
Another question: how can I save a hires bitmap in Photoshop? Or what is the definition, the settings etc. of a hires bitmap?
Thanks!

In Photoshop »bitmap« is often used to refer to 1-bit-bitmap-images, so the term is problematic on this context.
Or what is the definition, the settings etc. of a hires bitmap?
That would depend on your requirements really – please ask your print provider.

Another question: how can I save a hires bitmap in Photoshop?
Save a psd, that format supports transparency.
As for hires: try to work with what image data you have, if upsampling is unavoidable you could do a Forum search (of the old platform Fora) as that has been treated repeatedly.
As for doing the design in Indesign or Photoshop:
Difficult choice as both have drawbacks.
If you have sufficient RAM, work with Smart Objects and do the final output properly (in a format that supports vector data, pdf for example, and the correct Color Space) Photoshop is a viable option.

Placed PNG images which are made in 3ds max are not shown correctly in Ilustrator

Hello,
Why placed PNG images (renders) which are made in 3ds max (and then photoshoped) are not shown correctly in Ilustrator. Images appear very noise so you can't see almost a thing. the same pictures (renders) made in Revit appear ok.
Is there a solution to solve this issue?
Thanks.

You would have to provide screenshots of how it looks in PS, including the channels visible. MAX may have embedded extra channels that throw off AI. And of course check whether your PNG is actually 8bit, not 16bit.

How to convert color of bitmap image?

I am programming with Acrobat 7.
I'd like to change color of all object to CMYK color or gray.
In case of plain object like path or font,
I need to seek CMYK color from the object's RGB color.
and I change the property of the object color space and value with it.
but in case of bitmap image, i don't know how to at all.
it has numerous colors.
I hope your advice.

Thank you both of you.
by the way, Leonard, Could you tell me that APIs more detailly?
I have look into the document for long time. it is still hard to find proper API.
I have to say this again. I am trying to find APIs based on version 7.
I am using custom function ACEconvertColorProfile which is placed in snippetrunner. it consists of these APIS ACMakeColorTransform, ACApplyTransform, and so on.
but I can't find the way to convert bitmaps once and for all.
I hope you give more hint.
Thanks again.

Placed bitmap eps files into PSD files has no transparency.

What happened to the transparency in eps bitmap images? I used to be able to create a duotone with transparency in earlier versions of Photoshop. I would save a black & white image, as bitmap eps file. I could import/place it into a psd file to create a transparent dutone image. Now when I place into a PSD/photoshop inside the iamge is white and no transparency. I'm using CS6.

What happened to the transparency in eps bitmap images?
I think eps supports Clipping Paths but not Transparency.

Poster Image in Strobe Player: Must it be a Bitmap Image?

Hello,
Quick question: must the poster image be a bitmap image in the Strobe and Flash players in OSMF? I would like to use .jpg images because the quality is much better, etc. When I try to create an image in Photoshop and convert it to a bitmap, the quality is very degraded and must be in black and white.
Thanks so much.
Jim

Thanks very much for the reply. I had uploaded a .gif, which didn't work, then went into the documentation and saw it written that poster images were bitmap images and assumed that meant that I need to use a bitmap in order for it to work.

How do I overlay n number of bitmap images using Java.

Hi All,
I have a task of creating a composite bitmap or a .gif image from "n" number of bitmap images , so that the resulting composite image will look like as if all those "n" images were placed side by side . How can I achieve this ? Can you point me to some place where I can understand the concepts behind this?

Create a new BufferedImage with the dimensions of all the images you want combined, then paint all the images into it through the Graphics object you can obtain from the BufferedImage. Then write out the image using the ImageIO class.

Bitmap images using Dreamweaver 4

I have Dreamweaver version 4, and though I can insert JPEG,
PNG, and GIF images the application won't let me insert BMP files
(I insert them, but the image won't appear). Is there any way I can
fix this?
thanks.

>>BMP files are displayed by > Internet Explorer
*only*
Depends on the kind of BMP file it is. And could depend on
the graphics card
of the users computer.
A BMP is a type of bitmap raster graphic in a data file
representing
generally rectangular grid of pixels (points of colour). The
colour of each
pixel is individually defined usually in three bytes...one
byte for each
portion of the RGB colour space.
Photoshop reserves the term "bitmap" for one-bit/channel
images (pure black
or white).
Microsoft's BMP files are generally compressed and need not
even contain
bitmap data (they can contain indexes into palettes).
The monitor doesn't get the raster image. Rather, it gets a
signal which
scans the screen 60 times a second. It's the graphics card
that gets the
raster: it contains memory which it can read and the computer
can write. Of
the several ways the raster could be stored in that memory -
all the red
values together, or the threee colours for each pixel
together, and
vertically or horizontally, etc. etc. - most are in use by
various graphics
cards. It's the job of the device driver toy copy that memory
in the correct
format for the card.
> because the format was invented by Microsoft (I'm
guessing.)
I believe the BMP format was originally developed by IBM but
evolved through
several states by Micosoft since. Microsoft "invented"
version 4 and version
5, BMP formats, for instance.

Problem Placing an Image

How do i place an image onto an illustrator page? I have a TIF image that i edited in photoshop and I'm trying to place on a 8.2x10.5 illustrator page. When i do this the image looks all pixely and weird (example photo below)
http://i45.tinypic.com/19b9jp.png
How can i solve this? Both images are 300dpi.
I would appreciate it if someone could help me out.

File>Place!
Are you scalintgg it up in Illustrator? If so that is not a good idea. Place it at 100% and leave if you need to enlarge i do so from the oringal file in Photoshop.
Also keep in mind that the magnificaion if set to an odd percentage will sometimes make it look pixelated even tthough it is high res image. Increase the magnification to say 200 or 300 and you will see the images is quite fine it is just the preview that looks pixelated here is a 300 ppi image placed in AI looks pixelated but look below when magnified 400% pretty clear and sharp but not pixelated that is what is hapening to you you zoomed out at an odd magnification and it just appears pixelated in the preview.
They're the same image

Dragging from Photoshop vs. Placing

PLEASE HELP!!!!
I am in the process of compiling a portfolio in InDesign (first time I am using the program) and have been told that the best way to bring images into your document is by placing them. However I have a bunch of pdf's which have various images on each, and I need to bring some of these individual images into the InDesign project. Ie. the images are not saved individually, but rather in groups as pdf's, so I cannot place them individually. I therefore have been opening the pdf's in Photoshop and then dragging the images into InDesign. They then do no appear as links, or layers. Is this an acceptable way of bringing images into InDesign?? I am worried that it will mess me around later on?
Please can someone help, as I do not want to proceed with any of the work until I know that it is infact going to work out...and (as usual) am on a tight deadline!!

Absolutely do not drag and drop from photoshop.
Also DON'T open PDFS in Photoshop! Or Illustrator OR ANYTHING ELSE other than Acrobat!!!
And finally File>Place and click SHOW OPTIONS and then select page ranges.
