Pixelated Images

Hi...Is there a trick to getting the images to look crisp and clear?
All my uploaded images look pixelated and I have tried everything from resizing myself to exact dimensions, to uploading as jpegs and pngs.  Nothing works.   I have the new version of Muse and the images are of worse quality than my last uploaded site.  This is an art gallery website so the quality is very important to my business.  Thanks to anyone who can help as I see this was an issue in 2013 too.

I was having the same problem and solved it. I'm creating my site on a MacBook Pro with retina display, so the default "Standard" resolution for my Muse site wasn't good enough for my screen, making all my imported images look blurry no matter what format or resolution I set them as. I changed my site's resolution to HiDPI, and doubled the pixel size for all my assets while keeping the resolution at 72 dpi. Here's a step by step guide on how you can achieve this.

Now my images look crisp and sharp when I publish my site (although they still look a bit pixelated in the Muse layouts for some reason.. but as long as they show up crisp on my published site I'm happy!) Hope this helps!

  • Graphics2D.scale() producing pixelated images from vectors

    I have a set of JPanels that I am using in my game to display the interface. Each one overrides paintComponent() and draws itself using Java2D. That all works great -- you can zoom in, move around, etc. and it all looks very nice and uses affine transformations.
    I'm trying to produce very high resolution images from this interface (for use on a poster) and using scale() is creating pixelated images rather than nice, high res images of the vector data.
    My code works as follows:
    1.) Create an instance of the interface using some saved game state data.
    2.) Create a Graphics2D object from a BufferedImage object.
    3.) Scale the Graphics2D object so that the interface will fill the entire image (in my test cases, the interface is running at 800x600 normally, and the resulting image is going to be 3200x1600, so a 4x scale).
    4.) Call the interface's paint method on the Graphics2D object. Note that all of the paint methods are using calls to fill... and draw...; nothing is getting rasterized in my code.
    5.) Write out the image object to a file (PNG).
    A sample of the output is here:
    http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w174/toupsz/ScreenShot2007-04-24_11-45-35_-0500.png
    The white circle in the upper left hand corner is drawn in between steps 4 and 5. It actually looks correct.
    Is there something I'm doing wrong? Is it a deficiency in Java itself? Is there some way to fix it?
    Any help would be most appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Try setting a few hints on your Graphics2D:
    g.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_INTERPOLATION, RenderingHints.VALUE_INTERPOLATION_BICUBIC);
    g.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING, RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
    g.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_TEXT_ANTIALIASING, RenderingHints.VALUE_TEXT_ANTIALIAS_ON);

    Hi alex_h1!!!
    i'm posting some of the images that are pixelated, I haven't  noticed but that includes safari too... Here are some screenshots! I thought maybe it was the internet speed but the same thing happens even on wi-fi .

  • IPhone 5 pixelated images in various apps problem- occurred within last 2 months and must be a result of apple network driver update

    iPhone 5 pixelated images in various apps problem- occurred within last 2 months and must be a result of apple network driver update
    What's the fix?
    Tried reset, restart, reboot, reopen of apps same problem

    What do you mean by reboot? Do you mean restore? Because if you haven't restored, then that's the next step. You'll need a computer with the latest version of iTunes and a USB connector.

  • Pixelated images while playing back a video shot on my iPhone4s

    Shot a video of my kid playing soccer and when watching on playback mode on either iphoto or imovie it comes out all pixelated images...

    The size of the hard drive that the OS resides upon is not of concern as long as it has enough space for you operating system, the applications and a swap file.
    The reason you NEED to keep you media files on a second drive is that it is TOO MUCH to ask of one drive to deal with all the system level read/writes AND to also seek, find and play all your audio AND video AND renders AND graphics and who knows what else you've got going.
    to get the best possible playback.
    1. Run Diskwarrior and Disk Utilities to make sure the files/directories are clean.
    2 Disconect the system from any network.
    3. Turn off any screen, power, disk power savers
    4.Make the file self-contained
    5. Have ONLY the external drive that the media resides upon connected through the firewire bus.
    6.Shut down and reboot the machine before you start.
    7. Pray.

  • Pixelated images in safari, please help.

    Hi everyone,
    Hoping someone can help me with a issue i have with my new macbook pro.
    When browsing the net, safari and firefox show really pixelated images. I thought it might be my internet connection compressing data or something, but i have tried other computers on the same internet connection and the images show perfect...
    So this makes me think its the macbook. I have upgraded snow leopard from 10.6 to 10.6.2 and updated safari, but unfortunately this didnt help my problem. So now i have ended up here, asking you people, coz im out of ideas.
    I will include some screen shots so you can see exactly what i mean.
    Notice the bad quality images and even on google's banner it is pixelated heaps...
    Please help if you can. Its very annoying. Cheers.

    Yes, I see the big ugly squares. They are what appears whenever extremely heavy JPEG compression is applied to a low-resolution image tht has relatively large areas of similar colors. Something somewhere is applying such compression to the pages, or portions of them, that you are viewing in your browser(s). Your MBP is not doing that: it can't. Either the page images (or parts of them) are being compressed by the website owners or, if every web page is affected, they are being compressed by your ISP in the process of being transmitted to you, as Gordito suggests. That would greatly increase the speed of page loading, but at the expense of image quality. You wouldn't see the image degradation on an iPhone or cell phone — the screen is too small — but on the MBP's high-resolution display it would be much more apparent, IF the MBP were receiving the signal in the same highly compressed form as the phone. If the MBP receives the same web pages through an ISP that doesn't over-compress them, they'll look the way they ought to look. So if you are receiving these web pages through a cellular ISP rather than through a broadband connection, take the MBP to a wifi hotspot and connect through wifi instead. I bet things will look different then.
    Compressing images is something a web browser can't do: a browser just displays the signal that comes to it.

  • Photoshop CS6 (vs 13.0.1) Severely pixelated images

    I have a iMac, running OS X Yosemite 10.0.1.   Almost every time I open any files (RAW or Jpeg) I get  severely pixelated images. I'm going from bridge to ACR to Photoshop or browser to Photoshop. it's intermittent. But extremely often.  I can close the file and open it and sometimes it's just perfectly fine and sometimes it happens again.  Any advice would be great.  I keep all of my images on an external hard drive.  I have 8 GB of RAM. All programs uptp date.
    -trevee.

    Or, more likely, it's just the known video driver bugs in MacOS 10.10.
    Apple is aware of the video driver bugs and working on a solution.
    Until Apple can release a solution, you can disable GPU drawing in Photoshop's preferences and restart the app.
    If you really need the GPU features in Photoshop, you may want to consider downgrading to a more stable version of MacOS.

  • DNGs display as 256x192 pixel images

    I picked up Aperture last night and installed the 1.5 update this morning. I imported a directory of DNG files (originally created using an Olympus E-500), and the files display as 256x192 pixel images. ACR correctly displays them as 3264x2448 pixel images. I flipped through the documentation and forums but didn't see any potential fixes. Aperture insists that the previews are up to date.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Andreas
    MacBook Pro 2.0 GHz Mac OS X (10.4) 10.4.8

    Apple's Aperture pages state that "DNG files must be generated by the Adobe DNG Converter, with the "Convert to Linear Image" option turned off, and created from RAW formats that are otherwise already supported by Mac OS X 10.4.3 or later."
    I followed those instructions to the letter in that I created the DNGs from E-500 raw files using Adobe's DNG Converter with that option disabled.
    Perhaps Aperture is grabbing the embedded JPEG preview?

  • Muse, pixelated image after trying to fill a box

    Ok so I am trying to fill a box of 1003 px x 577 px with an jpg of 1100px by 4000px. I am trying to make a scroll image in a box with motion. I am having the problem that for it to show the image in good quality it has to be in "original" or "tile". In both cases it's not filling the box that I created with the same width of the jpg. I am having always the same problem. The only way I always fix this is making the image tremendously small in height. This should not be happening. The only way I can get it to be the width that I am creating the box and jpg image is to Fill-"scale to fit"... and it's pixelated.
    Could someone help me with this unbearable problem please. I will really appreciate the gesture.
    Thank you.

    THANK YOU SO MUCH BARBARA! I really appreciate you taking  the time to reply to my simple problem(eventhough at the time it was so frustrating). Thanks again. Leanne

  • How do I convert a digital photo to a low resolution 5-color pixelated image?

    I want to do a lego project with my kid and would like to convert a picture of him into 5-color (or six-color) pixel form so that I can use that as a map to make a portrait that would look great from far away.  Thanks from a neophyte.

    After you have resized appropriately with Resample Image (very important) checked, done the Indexed color and then the Mosaic Filter, you can then Preview Print, which should use the chosen printer's driver to do just that - preview the print. If all meets with your approval, then the resultant print should be good, provided that you have an ICC Profile for that printer loaded, that matches your PS workflow. This will have more to do with color and density, than the printer ignoring aspects of the image. If not, then something is likely amiss with the printer's driver.
    Now, some printers seem to like other formats, better than .PSD's. Some have better luck with Flattened TIFF's, and some with .PDF's. This will likely depend on your printer and on its driver. You might want to Save_As PDF (no need to be able to edit it later here), and try that. Same result?
    Good luck,

  • How to avoid a Pixelated image on my PDF document

    Can you please help.  I'm still learning my way around creating flyers using publisher and adobe.  I created 6 flyers to a page, saved it to PDF, printed it off and it was pixelated.  Do I have to save it as 50% or less?

    The fix is going to be on the creation side rather than on the Reader side.
    There's a whole heckuva lot of stuff that can be happening here. Anything from the images not having a high enough resolution in the original document to how you are creating the PDF.
    If you can let us know what tools you are using to create the PDF, maybe we can steer you to the proper forum for that product.
    I know you mentioned Publisher but what "Adobe" is involved? If it's Acrobat, how are you creating the file from Publisher?

  • Strange, red, pixelated images

    Hi,
    I recently purchased Lightroom 5 and I've been really enjoying it so far.
    One issue I've found however is that occasionally Lightroom creates a weird, red pixelated effect on edited images in library module.  I've posted a develop view, and library (loupe) view example below.  It tends to occur on under exposed images that I've used noise reduction on.  Sometimes, this persists in develop module too.
    Develop module: http://i.imgur.com/G7hROKv.jpg
    Library module: http://i.imgur.com/nSmp72T.png
    Any ideas about what is causing this or how to fix it?
    FYI, it exports fine.
    Thanks!

    Frank,
    Actually, they were all similar enough to be able to crop, lift and stamp, so the viewable versions are all in working order. Problem solved. At this point, I'm just seeing if there are any other answers as far as fixing the Masters? I do not have any known backups of the originals before they were corrupted. The only thing that comes to my mind is to export all of the cropped versions and then to reimport them as Masters, but I really don't know what I would be doing. I mean, I know how to do that, but don't know if doing it somehow diminishes the image quality. The strange thing is, when I export the version, it is almost 4 times the size in MB of the Master (after exporting the Master). I don't fully understand image size as it relates to image quality, but I was always under the impression that the larger the file size, the more data stored and the higher the quality of the image. Therefore, a 5MB JPEG is of higher quality than a 2.3MB JPEG for example. Since the originals were JPEGS, I would assume that by exporting versions of the Master, I would be compressing an already compressed image? I don't really know, so I am not going to do anything about this unless someone can shed some clear light on what it all means, and what the ramifications of these types of actions would be.

  • CS4 banding, pixelated images

    Up until just a few hours ago, Photoshop CS4 was working fine - out of nowhere I began to notice an extreme and "step" banding around soft brushes and gradients where any imaged placed on the canvas was instantly pixelated.
    The settings were RGB 8-bit 300dpi on a 600x600p canvas, I am almost certain it isn't my screen as I can see gradients in other programs (fireworks, as well as all internet browsers). I almost always work under these settings and have never experienced a problem like this, I've reset my preferences, switched between modes, and I've never has access to my GPU settings in PS so that can't be it. I should also note that it is visible when printed.
    I've even updated CS4, what can I do to fix this.

    I'm not seeing excessive banding in the image you posted.  No more than should be expected for an 8 bit grayscale image.  That actually eliminates a lot of suspects.
    That leads me to wonder if it's your monitor settings or video card.
    Have you rebooted since seeing this problem?
    What's changed since it worked?

  • Websites loads pixelated images in firefox after update to version 23

    After firefox updated to version 23 blogs that have image is loaded pixelated. I'm on windows 7. I tried every solutin I seen:
    open firefox in safemode ;
    deselect the "Use hardware acceleration when available" box ;
    also the page basic style didn't help.
    what can i do to fix this

    Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 26: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    if possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

  • Weird downsampling, pixelated, images in Safari & Firefox

    Since applying the latest update (to Snow Leopard), images on websites look highly pixelated (often background images). After applying the recent update to iPhone - it does the same thing! Perhaps something in the latest webkit release? My wife's iPhone and Mac (without the latest updates) has no issues. Is anyone else experiencing this?
