Pictures are low-resolution

The pictures online are all extremely low-resolution and pixelated. Facebook seems to be the site I notice it most on. It's like all the pictures were taken with early 2000's camera phones. I know the pictures don't look that bad.

Does that also happen if you open an image directly in a browser tab?
Do you have an ISP or use a low bandwidth (wireless) connection that could cause it?

  • FaceTime freezes when same room has no problems. The picture is high resolution. There are no freezes when calling my daughter's iPad but the picture is lower resolution. Can I troubleshoot this?

    FaceTime freezes when I call my son's iPad. Calling his iPhone in the same room has no problems. The picture is high resolution. There are no freezes when calling my daughter's iPad but the picture is lower resolution. Can I troubleshoot this?

    Thanks Mario, but I tried everything there before posting my question. I may not have been clear in my question since I accidently recorded the whole question as the title and tried to edit. In brief: I have no trouble connecting with my daughter's iPad or my son's iPhone. However, his iPad is sending much higher resolution pictures and we disconnect after about a minute.  Oddly, he can hear and see me while my screen first freezes, then goes black and gives me a message of "reconnecting" until it quits trying and shows the buttons to end or redial. The picture quality difference is what is leading me to believe it is bandwidth related. However, I get anywhere from 5 to 10 MB download speeds; usually closer to 10. Last summer, I had 4 granddaughters on their iPads, a grandson on his gaming device and me on cell phone or pc, all using the bandwidth at once with no complaints. If there is a way to lower his outgoing resolution, I think that would help.

  • Screen Saver Built in Pictures are Low Res

    I just purchased this 30" Cinema Display. Really like it a lot. I wanted to use the Beach or Forest screen saver. All the pictures are low res. Is there a way to get HD picts to replace those for a great looking screen saver. The originals are very grainy. I didn't install the software in the box as I don't believe with the new systems you need to. I am hooking it up to a MacBook Pro.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Bennie

    The size of the photographs used in the Beach, Forest, Cosmos, etc., slideSavers is 1024*768 and is obviously so on my 23" ACD, let alone a 30".
    Interface Lift has some great hi-res wallpapers.
    In the past, I've copied the Beach.slideSaver (/System/Library/Screen Savers) to the desktop, right clicked on the copy to "Show Package Contents", burrowed down to "Resources" to find the photos, trashed those jpegs and replaced them with my own. You can rename the slideSaver to *.slideSaver, copy it back to the folder from whence it came (authenticate) and/or to /Library/Screen Savers and you now have hi-res slideSavers of your choice.

  • IPhoto pics are low resolution and small

    I've got other open tickets on here, but let's try and tackle this one for now.
    I recently had my IT guy here at work update my OS and as a result, destroy my iPhoto as I know it.
    It imported all my pics, lost the albums, used the face recognition and doubled the size of my folders AND seems to have imported the pics at a lower resolution.
    When I click on an individual picture, on the display screen it shows up small in the window.  I can zoom on it, but it looses resolution.  It's just as if they were brought in at a low resolution, and lost the high resolution.
    Let me know if something similar has happened to you, I can post pics of my screen if this is too hard to follow...
    Thanks,
    JT

    2 - in the finder drag the iPhoto library from the current loction in the pictures folder to the desktop
    I drag it down and it starts to copy the library...doesn't delete it.  I'm assuming I can make that copy, then drag the original folder to the trash, then essentially deleting it?
    Dragging the library to a new location on the same volume does not copy it but moves it and is virtually instant - if you drag it to a different volume it will copy it -  by default both the pictures folder and the desktop folder are on the same volume so you are doing something incorrectly
    if it is a copy on an external drive then drag it intact as a single entity to the pictures folder on your boot drive - if it was backedup using backup software (like Time Machine or other backup software) then use that software to restore it
    The key is not where it is but how it got there - if it was copied to an external drive then drag it as a single entity to the pictures folder on your internal (main) drive - the drive your system folder is on (the boot drive - the drive you boot to wheb you start your computer
    IF
    you used a back up program to put it there then you use that backup program to restore it to the pictures folder on your main drive

  • Pics are low resolution?

    Transferred some photos from my Nikon D700 to iPad. Photos are raw on camera so I'm not sure if "Photos" IOS app converts to jpg or what?
    But my real question is that I then import those photos into a iMovie project that I'm working on on my iPad, and they come in all horribly pixelated. Curiously, I imported some other photos from my friend Canon point-n-shoot, and those show up fine in the same iMovie project.
    Does it have to do with my source photos being RAW format? Why then do they view fine in the Photos app?

    Does it have to do with my source photos being RAW format? Why then do they view fine in the Photos app?
    It probably does have to do with the images being raw in that case.
    My guess is that the photos are just too high resolution for the app to render them nicely.
    iMovie was, rightly or wrongly, made to edit video and photos shot on iOS devices.
    Apple is a little loose on supporting other formats.
    My only recommendation is that you get a photo editing app (photoshop express is free).
    Import the raw photos, and save them off as smaller photos.
    This should save them as jpegs, and iMovie will be happier.
    Most full scale editing apps on computers don't like Raw images, or very large images either.
    I'm guessing that you've found the limit of what it can handle.
    I spend lots of time resizing and softening photos for video edits in Final Cut Pro and Avid Media Composer.
    While this is not the ideal answer I hope this helps.

  • Thumbnails and low resolution pictures both burn on CD

    I remeber when starting iPhoto it asked me something about thumbnails. I must have checked yes, because now when I burn to a CD I get a thumbnail of good quality and a picture with low resolution both on the CD. I burned 31 pictures and on the CD were 62. I had the larger imalges printed and they turned out horrible. What's up??

    If you used the Share->Burn menu option they you will get an iPhoto organized CD with both the thumbnail files (in the Data folder) and the full sized files (in the Originals folder). That type of disk is intended for use by iPhoto when the disk is mounted in the drive. It shows up in the Source pane of iPhoto.
    If you're looking for a disk to uses on PCs or take to a photo finisher then you need to use the File->Export menu option and export the full sized image file to the CD to be burned.

  • Iphoto low-resolution issue

    When making a book in Iphoto, iphoto does not say photos are low-resolution until after I go to assemble the book? So I have to go back and fix each photo individually after trying to assemble the book

    There are several issues at work here. Which all seem to stem from this being an ipod with better video than a settop mac.
    First the apple TV displays a max resolution of 720p (not 1080) for videos and photos alike.
    Second when the photos are synced their resolution is reduced to have a max of 720 pixels vertical resolution - I'm not sure but there is an apple photo database in the pictures folder that looks like it contain these versions of the pictures.
    The photos are then displayed by the apple TV and if you set it to 1080 it blows up the smaller images to fit the screen. From what I've seen any portrait pictures look OK (because they aren't blown up) but landscape photos look like crap. this may not be as noticeable if you use ken burns effect because it doesn't appear to blow up the picture when it uses this.
    We purchased this primarily to show our photos in hi res on our 1080p tv, its a big disappointment and will be going back. Get a mac mini instead!

  • QUESTION help!!!  iphoto library is low resolution

    HELP! I want to resort my ophoto library. I was in the iphot library trying to delete unwanted photos ( I KNOW THIS WAS WRONG ON MANY MANY LEVELS). But I tried to rebuild my library and now the photos are low resolution. I backed up my library and they are low resolution too. The message I get is the library cannot be imported because the file is in iphoto library. HUH??? I just want it back the way it was. Please someone help....

    Well you're learning the cardinal rule of iPhoto:
    It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss.
    You have corrupted your library, and by the sound of it, caused massive duplication.
    You need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents on your desktop and find the Originals folder. Sort each Events folder inside the Originals by SIZE. Trash any files smaller than 100kb. This is also an opportunity to find and trash duplicates. When you have made your choice in each Event Folder in turn drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

  • Low Resolution on iPhone 5c

    I've owned an iphone 4s, 5, and now a 5c.  How can I tell what the resolution is on my photos?  When I upload photos to a developer website such as Walmart, I always get the same message...my photos are LOW RESOLUTION.  Please help...how do I fix that???

    Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Appel logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting.
    If this does not work, did you try to switch off Cellular Data, restart the phone and switch it back on again?

  • I just set up a new computer running Windows 8.1. When I go to my icloud photostream, the pictures are in PNG format NOT JPG. When I open and upload photos from the photostream, the resolution is so low that the image quality is terrible. Help?!?

    Hey Sierra, You can do just what you have stated. My question, what is your "other"? If it is over 1.5 GB you most likely have corrupt files. Doing a Restore to New, Factory restore should correct it. Just make sure you make a full backup of all information on your iPod to your computer before you restore, so you don't lose your stuff, contacts, videos, pictures, non-iTunes music, etc, use the cable and connect with your computer. Then, via cable, connect to your computer, run the Restore to new, don't use your backup. Treat this iPod as if it was your first one ever. When restore is done, set up and add what info you wish to install on this iPod. The music apps etc you purchased should be on your computer, if not you should be able to retrieve purchased apps and music from iTunes. Any music, videos, apps not purchased from iTunes will be lost to you if you do not save them to your computer or the cloud first. When your done, make a current Backup and you should good to go. Hope this helps. Good luck. Cheers.

  • Low Resolution Warning on Calendar Pictures

    I am in the process of creating a calendar using iPhoto '08. However, some of the pictures that I have added have a low resolution warning in the top right corner. I have tried cropping the photos, fitting the photo to frame size, zooming out, and reverting the photo to the original copy (all the things they told me to do on the Apple website), but the yellow yield signs are still not going away. Is there any way to fix this without resorting to "fitting the photo to frame size"? TIA!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What are the pixel dimensions of the photos you are using?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

  • One low resolution picture

    I have a weird one:
    Yesterday I took a picture of a butterfly on our porch.  I waited until it showed up on my desktop's photo stream and then, because I liked it so much, decided to make it my desktop background.  But it looked oddly jagged - why would that be the case?  The iPhone's resolution is definitely bigger than my MBP's screen!  I went into iPhoto and looked at the picture on my stream and it's only 640x858!  What the heck?  I looked at the other pictures in the stream and they were all 2448x3264 - only this one picture is of the lower resolution!?  What's more, this one picture is the only one in the stream that doesn't say "iPhone 5" as the source and doesn't have location info associated with it.  It's as if it was taken by another camera and then imported...only it wasn't.  I definitely took it by sliding up the camera from the lock screen!
    I have an iPhone 5 with the latest iOS (6.1.4).  My phone is pretty full (only 26MB left), but plenty enough for more pics.  I just took another one and that one, again, showed up with the correct resolution in my stream.
    Does anyone know what's going on?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    How are you going about uploading?
    Are you digging the files out of the DATA folder in the iPhoto Library Folder? If so, you're using the thumbnails that iPhoto uses for display purposes.
    There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
    1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    I suggest you use the File -> Export option and export the pics to the desktop. There iPhoto will make a copy. Upload that, and when the upload is finished you can trash the copy on the desktop - your original is safe in iPhoto.

  • How can i get low resolution pictures to print

    I just bought a office jet pro 8600 and got on hp e-print for the sole purpose of printing pictures off of my iphone and ipad. I just sent an e-mail to the printer and it only printed "sent from iphone." It says there is some technology preventing printing of low resolution images... usually from camera phones. Any ideas or help.
    Thx 

    Hi DChip56,
    Here are some printing tips for printing from your iPad and iPhone (particularly items in bold):
    All photos e-mailed with HP ePrint will print at a default size of 4 x 6 inches (101.6 x 152.4 mm).
    If your HP ePrint-enabled printer does not have a separate photo paper tray, just make sure that photo paper is the only paper loaded in the tray when printing photos.
    Make sure your digital images have a high enough resolution, or dpi (dots per inch). Image files (like jpeg, bmp, tiff, etc.) need to be at least 100 dpi in order to print via HP ePrint.
    Make sure your image attachments are smaller than the 5 MB (megabyte) limit.
    If you send a photo that is less than 100 dpi, it will not be printed. Instead, you will see a message in your job history on the ePrintCenter that says “Failed”.
    To print a photo or image that is less than 100 dpi, insert the image file into a Word document before e-mailing. Your image will be printed on paper from the main printer paper tray.
    If I have helped in any way, just click the Kudos star on the left. Also, if your issue has been resolved, don't forget to select Accept as Solution

  • My browser on my Curve will only save low resolution pictures. Help!

    For some reason now, everytime I browse on the internet and find a picture I want to save, it will view it and save it in a very low resolution instead of its normal resolution. Why is that? I have tried freeing up memory and I have all my media saved in a media card with a bunch of free space. Any help with this will be welcomed. The pictures are so low res that it is useless for me to view or save any picture using my blackberry.
    Please help!

    How are you backing up the photos?  The best way is to backup the library itself as that will preserve your organizational efforts as well as all metadata like keywords, titles, faces, places, books, etc.
    You can use a backup application that does incremental backups.  Thus only the first backup is a full one and subsequent backups just copy those files that are new or changed. I use Synk Pro.  The lower cost version, Synk, will do the same job.  Other similar apps can be found at MacUpdate.com.  
    OR: upload your camera to a folder on the Desktop. There you can rename the files to something that is more informative than just the file name.  I use the date (international format) along with a brief desc: 2007-1-20-adian1stbday-001.jpg.  File renaming apps can also be found at MacUpdate.com.  Also you can give the folder an informatve name which will become the Event name when you import the folder of photos into iPhoto.
