Poor InDesign graphics quality

I received a jpeg from a customer and when I printed it out in Photoshop it looked good. Then using the place command I put it in an InDesign document and the photograph is not crisp anymore. The photograph and InDesign document are in the same folder. The photograph was large 5" x 7" and the resolution was 72, but I made the photo 2 inches and resolution 300 and like I said it looks fine printed directly from Photoshop. Should I be placing differently or doing something else? Using Creative Suite 3.0, OSX 10.5.2, mini Mac. Thanks.

Whoa! I'm going to assume you didn't really mean to say that the way it came across.
This is a user to user forum. And so I'm going to assume you totally understand that no one expects any official response from Adobe.
I'm going to assume that you also understand that when someone such as Dov does post on this forum that he or she does so on their own time totally unofficially from Adobe.
I'm going to also assume that you appreciate it, as all of us do, when someone like Dov does post and offers to help answer questions and suggest solutions.
I'm going to assume that your comment was totally in jest and you don't really hold Dov up to fix this situation.
Finally, I'm going to assume that you do know the URL of the feature request form (http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform) and you don't need me to post it for you.
Because if I thought your comment was in the least bit snotty, I would tear you a new one.
Have a nice day! :-)

Poor graphic quality on FM import

I've imported a FrameMaker file into RoboHelp HTML and the
graphics quality is terrible on many images; especially images that
have text anchored with it (the text display as xxx’s). These
images are unreadable, other are OK. I've used RoboHelp for
FrameMaker for years and love the quality of the conversion.
However, The Tech Comm Suite seems to have taken a step back in the
image conversion area. Any help you can provide is greatly
appreciated.

Hi,
First let me say that I encountered this problem back in Feb
2008 and mentioned it here.
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=680&threadid=1339003
At that time, I thought it was an artifact of using tiff
files and CHM compression - too many other things were wrong with
that acquired project for me to be certain that RoboHelp had a
problem. Using PNG seemed to cure the problem.
Several months later and a couple of new projects and I'm
fairly certain that Robohelp is munging the graphics when it
imports FM8 books.
The images in my books (almost a hundred screenshots in one
300-page volume and about 100 in another 200-page volume) are all
imported by reference.
The application is a Web-based Java app with way too much
text in small fonts. I generate each screenshot at a high 300ppi
resolution and carefully crop/size them for the 7x9 page format
using Photoshop. I'm under no illusions here - downsizing bitmap
Web screenshots to fit on a printed page is going to cause loss of
resolution. However, I get crisp hi-res images in the Frame-to-PDF
output and the source images are sized so that they should work
well for both print and Webhelp output.
Now, when I first encounterd this problem in February,
converting all the images to PNG seemed to work well for CHM
output. It appears that PNG is not well supported in Webhelp, so
the images are all converted to JPEG at max qualiity, which also
adds many MB to the size of a PDF. This is documented in the RH
help at:
Home > Images and multimedia > Use images in topics
Note: If you are generating WebHelp Pro or WebHelp output,
use .GIF or .JPG image files.
So I believe that I am following all the RH import
requirements. However, when I run the FM-to-RH import, it's clear
that the images in the help folders have been resized by the import
process.

Lower PDf graphics quality after upgrade from v8 to v9

Some PDF Graphic quality is poorer whne using the new Acrobat compared to version 8.
I recently purchased Acrobat 9 Pro extended as part of the TCS2 and installe dhtis on a new machine. The installation replaces Acrobat 8 professional installed on a different machine.
I have checked the job options in detail on each machine and they appear to be identical.
The problem is most notable in a graphic header which appears on the first page of the Word document template from which the PDF is generated. The file is an imported PNG with a complex blue gradient band and the company logo across the top of the page. The band is underlined by a thinner grey band which fades vertically to white. In the resulting output, blue colors show too bright and quite different to the original PNG graphic. The grey band does not fade smoothly and appears as separate bands.
My colleague has installed Acrobat 9 on the same machine as the previous Acrobat 8 installation and is experiencing the same issue.
I have tried generating a PDf with an old known good file base don the same word template and the result is the same so this probably rules out the Word template. Older PDFs generated with the v8 Acrobat do not do not display this way and i still can generate PDFs using the old machine and version 8 Acrobat without any problems.
Can anyone suggest how i might progress with this?

There are no display problems because i can satisfactorily generate the file using the Print option and selecting the AdobePDf printer.
I have set the Color Management Policies of the joboption to Convert all Colors to CMYK from Leave Color Unchnaged and this seems to improve the quality considerably so i'll stick with that. Some gray color gradient doesnt seem to convert smoothly and shows as varying bands of shades of gray but i can live with that, unless i can find a setitng that handles that.

TV Anywhere poor video capture quality

I have a Celeron 1.7, 20 and 60 gig hd at 7200 rpm, 512M of ram. My capture is of very poor quality. I have used the MSI software and also Virtual Dub. Still poor video capture quality. Anyone tell me what I can do or how to do this right?

If you use a compressing codec in real time, you need lotsa CPU.
Try using a lossless codec such as Huffyuv (you'll need lotsa disk) for the real time capture and then compress afterwards.

COMBINED TEXT & GRAPHICS QUALITY

I'm looking at buying a high-end colour laser like the Xerox 7750 or Ricoh 7200. I've got a few questions about colour lasers in general (see my other recent posts). Feel free to offer any comments about:
COMBINED TEXT & GRAPHICS QUALITY
My HP scanner has options that optimise the scanning quality for text, graphics or both. ie it appears there is no one setting that scans a mixed page at the best quality. I've noticed on reading printer manuals that some also offer different print settings for graphics and text. Do colour lasers print text in an inferior way if there are graphics on the same page; and vice versa? Or should text quality (and graphics) stay the same no matter what else is on the page? Assume the text is sent to the printer as actual text (not rasterised in the application).
In the Ricoh 7200 manual it states: "If text & graphics are blurred, select Text Priority under Graphic Mode from the Maintenance menu and then print."
There is no more explanation, but when I saw that I immediately thought: if I select Text Priority is text quality somehow improved at the expense of graphics quality? Do lasers have this limitation?
Thanks in advance for any comments.

Import the TIFF into a pdf, you can use the Text Recognition tool page by page. Personally, I prefer for a job like your to use a dedicated OCR program that lets me designate which parts of the page should be considered graphics and which are text that needs to be OCRd.

Lower graphics quality after updating 2.2.1.

Is it just me, or any body else has notice that some of the buttons and transparencies on the iPhone are lower in quality than the early 2.2. version of the firmware? I just update to 2.2.1 yesterday but ever since I've notice this, for example, *look closely on the keyboard of the phone app, check the green button to place the call, it looks blur!* I don't remember if this looks the same on the previous 2.2. version, but I don't remember notice it before. Is like if they use a lower render bitmap here.
Am I becoming very demanding with the graphics or just been paranoid?
By the way, have no trouble with battery or dropped calls. Everything seems to work fine, except for the lack of quality in some graphics and some minor bug when I wake the phone, the click sound does not sound louder all the times, sometimes it sound very low.

I hope I'm just been paranoid, I'll hate to see the quality of the graphics on the iPhone dropped, because the interface is just so beautiful and well care in every detail. And well after all, Apple has always been in the market of graphics ever since they came up with the first graphic interface for the Mac back in 1984. I'll always think that mac os graphics look better that other OS, and now the iPhone looks like nothing before, so, that's what I'm been so demanding on the graphic quality issue. Right now, my iPhone is what keeps me close to Apple Computer, because right now, I'm stuck with a windows pc computer for the moment, and the iPhone is my Mac right now, so I don't want to lose high quality graphics, imagine how will you feel, if all of the sudden your mac os X desktop looks like Windows desktop? That's a nightmare! Right?

Satellite L300 - big decrease in graphics quality using Win 7 64bit

I have done this clean install (from Vista 32-bit to Win 7 64-bit) for someone and loaded (I think) all the relevant drivers.
There seems to be a big decrease in graphics quality.
Is this something to do with Vista vs. Windows 7 or does it make any difference which of the three display drivers are installed?
Unfortunately, the laptop isn't with me now so I will have to look into this remotely as well.
Thanks.

Is it possible to point me to the exact link for the correct driver as I will need to communicate with someone else to see if it is installed properly.
Is it an .exe as well as that would really help?
Thanks.

Poor iTunes subscription graphic quality

Hi,
We just created an multi issue iOS app with a free subscription. In the Viewer Builder Version 2.1.130 you are asked for the graphics for SD and HD. We created those in the exact measurements, but we saw that especially the SD landscape subscription banner turned out in poor quality, in comparison to the other banners.
We took a screenshot from the app and found out, that the SD 468x135 banner gets resized to 463x135. Which explains the artefacts.
And you can't upload a 463x135 px graphic. So the resampling to the lower width causes the reduction in image quality.
Is this a known bug?

MakePDFPresentation - poor shape output quality

I have a custom script I've made to make layer compositions then output them into a multi-page PDF. The only way I can current see of doing that is with the makePDFPresentation() method. Everything works brilliantly EXCEPT the output multi-page PDF has really badly simplified vector shapes. They're still vector, but they're badly simplified. See the attached image which shows a PDF output in the normal way on the left, and using makePDFPresentation() on the right - notice the horrible wiggling in the 'x' in particular. I'm using the exact same PDFSaveOptions() in both.
So I know makePDFPresentation() is supposed to be DEPRECATED as per CS4 (but it still seems to generally work) but I can't see an alternative option to output a multi-page PDF.
Does anyone know if this is a bug in makePDFPresentation() or an intended 'feature', and also if there's a better way to output layer comps to a single multi-page PDF using just one script/click within Photoshop (rather than having to manually put multiple PDF pages together, or run one script in Ps then another somewhere else).
Thanks

This very interesting.
I've manage to send my photoshop Notes directly to PDF using Philip Cord code.
I have also discovered how to add other PresentationOptions:
desc4.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID('BckC'), charIDToTypeID('BckC'), charIDToTypeID('Blck') ); // 'Blck':black | 'Wht ':white
// how to include FONT SIZE ??????????????
desc4.putBoolean( stringIDToTypeID('includeFilename'), true );

// how to include EXIF Info ??????????????
desc4.putBoolean( stringIDToTypeID('includeAnnotations'), true );
Regarding PDF Presets and the poor quality shape over paths, I have found that I can create first my own PDF Preset under Edit > Adobe PDF Presets...
The problem is that the option to disable the path compression, on Photoshop PDF Preset manager, doen't exist (we have it on Indesign PDF Preset compression manager).
But I had success to create a new PDF Preset on Indesign removing path compression, restart Photoshop, and the PDF Preset was accessible also on Photoshop.
It might be possible to use the code changing the new PDF Preset name I have created.
desc5.putString( stringIDToTypeID('pdfPresetFilename'), "MyPreset" );
But I did not tested it.
This are the PDF Preset managers on Indesign and Photoshop:

I have a vi that the front panel includes all the information I need to print except that it is on different pages of a tab control to conserve screen space. I was attempting to programatically cycle the value of the tab control in a For loop and invoke the Print Panel to Printer method to print 7 pages of the front panel, each with a different tab page selected. The printouts were excellent quality but beginning with the second consecutive Print Panel to Printer method the on screen front panel image of the VI being printed would become jumbled (sometimes, by the time 7 printings were done, the entire front panel image would disappe
ar and a bitmap of the desktop or underlying windows would be visible in the VI's panel frame) yet the subsequent Print Panel to Printer methods continued to print the panel as they should appear. The visible front panel graphics would never return to normal and the only solution was to close the vi (in the dev system) or exe (compiled) and re-launch. I tried a lot of things (like hiding the panel to print before printing and showing it after printing) with no luck. It appears that two or more of these consecutive invoke methods caused the problem regardless of whether the tabs were cycling, or even if there was no tab control and much fewer controls on the panel to be printed than normal. I also had the same problem with LV 6.1.
Finally, I was forced to switch to the report generation toolkit vi's, I cycle through the tab pages and use the Append Front Panel Image to Report.vi to append each image to the report. This is faster and control returns to my program quicker but I a
m unhappy with the printed quality of the graphics of the front panels. They are not as high of resolution as those generated via the Print Panel to Printer method.
Any suggestions?

You might try changing the way the VI is printed by going to tools >> options >> printing. Try the postscript and bitmap settings.

Getting poor still image quality in SD project on CS4

hey guys. sorry if you heard this one, but i havent seen anything addressing this.
i am using CS4 to edit a Standard def project and i am running into a problem with still images being choppy and distorted.
I tried all options to produce a better quality, but i get poor quality in the timeline monitor even after i render preview. the ouput
when i export is equally bad.
what i did find out was that if i switched projects in favor of an HD 720 the images are crisp on import and look good.
am i missing something. i assumed the images looked bad because they werent rendered and since i didnt need to render to edit i didnt want to lose the time, so now i'm stuck with those images, or i have to scrap the project and start again in hd and i prefer not to. i would have done it in hd, but the footage i was given was SD. anyways i would appreciate some help. thanks!
btw i've tried to export in both MS DV and WMV
i have tried importing psd png and jpg i have used all these in the past in pro2 with no problem

still images being choppy and distorted.
Can we see a sample?

CS5.5 iOS App Graphics Quality

Hello Adobe community,
Thanks for helping me out today. Here's my issue: I am designing my whole app in photoshop and currently in the process of moving all of the images to flash to add interactivity. The promblem is, when we put the app on the iphone the quality of the graphic is lowered for some reason.
When I am building in photoshop my settings:
640px by 960px
72 ppi
Saving out as a .jpg
When I send the jpg as a picture to my iphone 4 and view it in my "Photos" app, it looks great, but on the test app it loses quality.
Does anyone have anyone have any idea whats going on here?
Thanks,
If I left something out that could help please tell me so I can add it!

in flash, right click the bitmaps in the library, click properties and tick "allow smoothing".
This only worked when we tested it in flash, but when we put it out to the iphone, it didn't look any different it still had the same unsmoothed edges. So could there be a setting when publishing as an IPA file.

...Now, it seems strange that in word, the images work better than indesign... The subject is that I want work with indesign, because I thought that this software was designed for this theme... and then, you think that there is not a solution for this problem?
pablovenegas,
Please realize that Microsoft Word is specifically designed for word processing application, while Adobe InDesign is specifically designed for high-quality professional-grade layout application –where InDesign outputs highest-quality output. I don't use Word app for years.
To place images onto InDesign document, it is recommended that you place HIGHEST QUALITY of image - at least 300ppi. If you place 72ppi on InDesign, it is HOW you place that specific web-quality image on InDesign. InDesign didn't do anything wrong, it is HOW you put the web image on.
Word of advice, do you have a permission to use all of those web images captures off the Internet without website owner, or any copyright owner's written permission. If you haven't done so, just stop doing what you are doing (web screen captures off these webistes for your own benefit or pleasure, but cannot use any of these images for commerical use). Just free two-cent advice. In closing, all I can say, be cautious and careful.
Best of luck!
