Poor Image Quality Transfered To iPhone

Hey guys,
I'm pretty new to aperture after switching from iPhoto and have run into the following problem.
I have iTunes set up to sync certain projects in my library over to my iPhone. The problem is the image quality being transferred is rather low and alot of pictures on my iPhone look grainy/pixelated. If I go into Aperture I can see the file just fine in full quality.
Any tips on how to get the quality transferred to the iPhone better? Thanks

Aperture mainly uses previews for sharing with other applications (so you can use them in iLife/iWork, see them in Finder, easily upload albums to Apple TV via iTunes, etc.). None of these functions work if you don't have previews generated for them.
Given there's a fair bit of space overhead to Previews, and given I found after a year+ of use that I had to manually create previews for what I wanted to see, I found it was easier for me to just do this fully manually and export JPEGs.
But have a read of the Previews section of the Aperture documentation. See how they're described, and see if it's functionality you want. If not, there's no reason you have to use previews at all. I don't.

  • HT201335 Airplay Mirror Poor Image Quality on CBS app - help?

    Airplay mirror from iMac/iPad to HD TV w/Apple TV has a Poor Image Quality when watching network shows via for example the CBS.com site or the CBS app. The image looks dark, not HD at all. My internet speed/performance is obviously not the issue because Hulu, Netflix etc all come in great using Apple TV ~ sorry, not all that savvy in this department, is the poor picture down to it just being a mirror of the iMac or iPad or is there a setting or something I am missing?

    You should use the Acrobat extra menu in word 2010: then edit Preferences and choose Conversion settings : High quality print
    Hope it helps

  • Has anyone had issues with poor image quality when using lightroom to process raw images from Canon 7dmk2

    Hi everyone..
    ..I have been having image quality issues when using Lightroom to process raw files from a 7d mk2... They are all soft with poor clarity.....tonight in despair I tried processing them  using  canon's software and they are totally different..."much better"
    anyone else had similar problems....Andy

    I have a 7D2 and have not had what I interpret as poor image quality that has anything to do with the camera.
    Can you post a screenshot of what you’re seeing and what specifically you don’t like?  Maybe there is something you can do differently or at least there may be an explanation for what you’re seeing.
    And if you have a raw image that you wouldn’t mind sharing in a public forum, upload to http://www.dropbox.com/ then post a public share link to it in a reply, here.
    In other words post a screenshot of what you see in LR, another of what you see using DPP, and a link to the raw file you’re processing.

  • Aperture Light Table - Poor image quality

    I am using the Light Table function in Aperture (3.4.5.) and I had an issue with the quality of the images on it, when zoomed in or scaled to fit.
    The quality of the (larger spread) images looks poor. As if I zoomed in on a thumbnail.
    I was looking for a discussion on this and saw some (archived) threads. None of them solved.
    However, I think I have found a workaround.
    If you get this situation, you can select the image(s) on the light table and regenerate the preview.
    Option-click Menu => Photos => Generate Previews
    (note: if you don't use the Option key, you will get Menu => Photos => Update Previews and Aperture may say (unjust) that the preview is already up-to-date).
    That solves the poor image quality look.

    I just remade the same book - as a test - in the extra large hardback format (ie. the one I used for the previous publication, last year).
    This time, the pictures are fine.  The images appear to be the same quality in the PDF as the originals - much, much better.  The size of the file has increased massively too > up from just 2.6MB to 52.8MB.
    So does the books production function work well only with the biggest, most expensive option? 
    I'd really appreciate some feedback from anyone who's tried the different sizes, and preferably some brilliant ideas to make them all work equally well.

  • Poor image quality save for web

    It doesn't matter whether i'm exporting from Ai or Ps or whether it's CS6 or CC. I have changed the raster settings in Ai and i've also tried all optimization options with all different export file types (jpg, png, gif) at all different quality settings. It doesn't matter if I start with an ai, eps, pdf, png... the export result is always poor quality.
    I have tried exporting at 300ppi and that does fix the quality issue and bloats the file size, but this way (the export route) is so time consuming since you have to resize your artwork each time as well as the artboard so that it doesn't cut off pixels. Save for web never used to have these quality issues and it also never used to cut off pixels around the edges. These workarounds prove very time consuming and produce file sizes that are not ideal.
    When i first noticed this issue I was using Mavericks with CS6 and since am using Yosemite and Creative Cloud.
    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Create any bitmap or vector graphic in Ai or Ps, It doesn't matter whether you convert text to outlines or not
    2. Save for web
    3. View image in any application or browser to see poor quality and pixel trimming. Others running the same version and system are not having this issue, but I have checked many forums and found many others that do have this same issue but can't seem to find a solution.
    Results:stair stepping, degradation, pixel trimming, general poor image quality
    Expected results: Previously the save for web feature allowed for a decent quality image

    First try the Cleaner. here's the link for CC but there exists one for Cs6 as well Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    Everything I have read says that you kind of have to compromise file-size for quality. Could you post a screenshot of your settings?
    also, if it helps: Creative Suite * Optimizing images

    I thought of that too so I tested on another machine with retina display and the file i saved on my machine looked bad on my machine and on the other comparable machine/display. So I sent them the original vector ai file and watched while they saved it the exact same way on their machine and the file looked fine on both of our machines/displays.
    All of the settings they used appeared the same as what I used but with different results. I don't recall changing anything but does anyone know if there is some setting that could have been changed that is causing this issue?

  • Really poor image quality when watching DVDs

    Hi,
    I was just wondering whether anybody else has experienced really poor image quality whilst watching DVDs on their MacBook? For me, the image is really grainy or blurry. I am pretty sure it cannot be the DVDs as this problem is happening with every film I watch!
    Is this a common problem? What can be done (if anything) to resolve this?
    Many thanks,
    John

    Hi John,
    open system preference>display, and check if your color depth is in millions color.
    try other dvd player like VLC for mac:

  • Poor Image Quality on Finished Project

    I've seen similar questions before, but no responses. I put together a movie using still pictures, titles, and audio from iTunes using iMovie. I then export it to a .m4v format and import it into iDVD (the newest version). It looks perfect when I view it on my computer, but when I burn it (which works as it should), I get very poor image quality watching it on my TV. The images have red shadows that stretch and cover the faces. Some of the pictures are just more red than they should be, but others are just terrible. Even using the highest quality encoding, the problem persists. PLEASE HELP. Thank you.

    Hi
    a. make a DiskImage first and test this with Apple DVD-player.
    (File menu and down "Make a DiskImage")
    b. I only use streamingDV - no .m4v or like (may be it works - I don't know)

  • I purchased an iPod touch few months back. And i am very upset with the volume output it produces. iPod being an music player, has poor volume quality then my iPhone 3gs. Can anyone pls help. How do i rectify it?

    i purchased an iPod touch few months back. And i am very upset with the volume output it produces. iPod being an music player, has poor volume quality then my iPhone 3gs. Can anyone pls help. How do i rectify it?

    Problem with both the speaker and earphones?
    Have you tried another pair of headphones?
    Yu can try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
    - Reset. nothing is lost.
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • Poor Image Quality when Printing PDF from Office 07 using Acrobat 9 Pro Ext

    Hi there,
    Hoping to figure out why my images (jpegs, gifs, pngs, etc) seem to print in very poor quality when printing from Powerpoint and Word 2007?
    When I actually print out the pdf onto paper, the images seem fine. The image quality is also good in Word and Excel
    I did not have this problem using Office 2003 products.
    Is this a common problem? I realize that the problem maybe Office related but any help or information appreciated.
    Thanks

    If the images' file format is PNG or TIFF you could play with the compression settings available in Acrobat's Preferences.
    Edit > Preferences > select the Category "Convert to PDF".
    In the"Converting To PDF" pane, select PNG or TIFF.
    Then, click on the Edit Settings" button.
    For either image format you could try one of the Lossless compression routines.
    Be well...

  • Poor image quality using iMovie 8 or iDVD after importing DV file via FW

    Hello,
    i am a complete newby and asking for help. I have bought a Panasonic NV-GS320EG-S miniDV Camcorder. First i connected it via S-Video to my Pioneer Plasma which worked fine.
    I have connected the camcorder via Firewire to my iMac 20/2,4 GHz, camcorder will launch import window, streaming works but in iMovie the image quality is already rather poor. I can cut files and all but after using Import film and burning it with latest Toast, picture quality is even worse, that means colors are natural but no sharpness, lots of shivering lines as soon as the angle is moving.
    I've tried to import directly into iDVD with the direct transfer function for Firewire which works technically as well but the result is mainly the same, when i burn the DVD the picture quality gets far worse than via S-Video connection.
    Last thing i tried is importing to iMovie, importing for media browser and reopening file in iDVD which burns the DVD later, all that works technically fine, but the image result remains absolutely poor, my wife meant inacceptable...
    Any ideas what that could be??? I've always imported and exported the film with the largest picture mode possible...

    I am using the Panasonic HDC-SD5 camcorder which records in AVCHD.
    I also have a JVC miniDV camcorder.
    The following is available in iMovie 08 help:If the larger sizes are not available, the original project media isn’t large enough to render in that size. The largest media size used in the project determines the final movie sizes you can render.
    Tiny: Always 176 by 144 pixels.
    Mobile: Always 480 by 272 pixels.
    Medium: Varies in size from 640 by 480 pixels (standard aspect ratio) to 640 by 360 pixels (widescreen), depending on the size of the media in your project.
    Large: Always 960 by 540 pixels (widescreen). No large size is rendered if your original video isn’t high definition (HD).

  • Poor image quality when sending via Mail?

    This is a new problem for me, yet I'm doing the same thing I always have... Previously, I could "Email" from iPhoto, select an image quality and size, and have it appear correctly as an attachment in a new message, with appropriate quality, with a subject to the effect of "1 Great iPhoto".
    Now, however, regardless of the quality/size level I select, I get a small, pixellated, poor quality image attached with a non-sensical subject like cscp_W149.
    Any idea what's going on?
    Thanks

    you are doing it wrong and selecting the thumbnail
    THere are many correct ways to email photos with iPhoto - none of them involve going into the iPhoto library and mucking around (which can corrupt your library and cause you to lose data)
    The easiest way is to select the photo(s) in iPhoto and click on the mail icon in the toolbar - if it is not there go to the view window and under the shoe in toolbar command check mail
    THere are other ways discussed by Terence Devlin in his post in this thread - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1371662&tstart=15

  • Poor image quality on computer

    I recently completed a short film in FCE and burned it to DVD using iDVD (7.0.4) set to Professional Quality. When the DVD is played back on my TV it looks fine. However when I play it on my iMac the image quality is rather poor (very grainy, pixelated), particularly when played full-screen. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance for any replies.

    Hi
    Nothing wrong with that.
    • There are NO HD version of iDVD up till NOW
    • Your iMac screen has a at least 4 to 5 times Greater resolution
    • On the DVD there is SD (old TV quality resolution) and that's what's playbacked
    • One can do a few things to get as much possibly from iDVD and from FCE/P
    I do - from FinalCut E/P
    • Export out as a QuickTime .mov file
    • Not Selfcontained - not important but saves time and space
    • NO QUICKTIME CONVERSION - Important
    • I use Verbatim DVD-R in iDVD
    • I set down burn speed to x4 or x1
    • I use Pro Encoding Quality
    • I secure a minimum of 25Gb free space on internal boot/start-up hard disk
    (iDVD can't use space on others - AT ALL)

  • Poor image quality on exported version

    I am trying to export versions of my photos to a folder on my external drive. Every time I do this the resulting jpg is washed out and has poor resolution + a ton of noise. The resulting image is substantially lighter than the images in my aperture window, yet the histogram does not indicate that the images should be that light or washed out.
    The images are all starting as RAW images. The export settings are for image quality 12, 300 dpi, sRGB, original jpg. I have onscreen proofing turned on and set to sRGB. My print lab said that the image quality could be 10, but when they looked so horrible I bumped them up.
    I had Aperture for a long time before upgrading to Aperture 2 in March. From March to August I did not have any problems, so this is a more recent problem. I have not yet upgraded to Snow Leopard. Please help!!! Thanks!!!

  • Poor image quality elements 12 slideshow preview

    As I can't find any reference to my original post I thought I'd re-do it.  I created a slideshow in elements 12 and found the image quality to fall far short of high definition.  The source folder for the images used is contained in Windows Pictures.  The pictures were taken with a Canon t4i camera with the image quality being excellent.  For whatever reason the quality of the slideshow images are poor.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Don't purchase a video editing app to work with just still images. They are meant to be used with DV and really don't do a still image any justice.
    The final source format should determine the software used. You are suggesting a DVD distribution of your work.
    iPhoto is meant to be used on still images (not iMovie, in my opinion).
    You don't really want to convert a single frame into multiple frames if you don't need to.
    You may want to try the Photo JPEG, Motion JPEG or Animation codecs from iMovie and see if they improve the visual appearance of your work.
    Since you want to use a DVD as the distribution method then iDVD may not be the best option either. It is meant for set top boxes using a poor 720X480 dimension in MPEG-2 video format.
    You may want to consider a bit different approach and use a "data" DVD and use QuickTime Player as the playback engine. These will only play on a computer but your could use the higher dimensions to your advantage and also the visual quality of computer displays to showcase your work.
    Since HD DVD players are not yet ready for mass use it may be a better way to distribute your work.
    There is no 720X480 dimension limit (only the limit set by the viewer on the display size when viewed on a computer monitor).
    Your "still" images would remain "still" except for transitions.
    Heck. You could probably put the whole file onto a CD and save even more in production costs.
