Poor quality pictures

I have downloaded Jpeg pictures to my Ipod Touch, they are of perfect quality om my PC but on the Ipod Touch, they are discolored and seem to be layered with other pictures, can anyone help?

Try shutting the iPod off and restarting it. Not just putting it to sleep, but actually powering it down and then restart. Whenever I have something weird, that seems to fix a lot of things.
Peace,
Mike

  • Poor quality picture with Netflix

    Is anybody else experiencing this? I've seen bad picture quality for 6-8 weeks now, I think since the last update. Hulu and other streaming apps seem to be unaffected.

    I've tried that several times. Also called my ISP and had them reset the router. Also reset my ATV and set it up again. Also, restored my router and set IT up again. Kind of out of ideas at this point.

  • Exporting movie 2nd time has resulted in poor quality picture...

    Hi,
    I edited my holiday video in iMovie HD and exported as "Quicktime-Full Quality" and it made a large DV file which looks great.
    i tinkered around with project in iMovie as needed to add/remove a few things and exported again on same setting as above, but it now looks pixellated and nowhere near as sharp as the first copy.
    Any tips on whats gone wrong? the only other thing i did in between these steps is also export it to iDVD for later burning, if that helps.
    Thanks.

    Hi
    YES - the only thing You did was using Share/Export to iDVD.
    That's the problem. This is destructive ! ! !
    iMovie rendering in this process gives a lousy result BUT ALSO HARMS THE ORIGINAL.
    Medicine (but a bitter one).
    • Re-import the photos to Your movie project (the old ones are damaged)
    • Re-edit them to their propper places and duration
    • NOW - When done. CLOSE iMovie
    • Open iDVD and import Your movie project. Now iDVD will do the rendering and so much better.

  • Why are my adobe complete picture vidios poor quality

    Why are my adobe complete picture vidios poor quality

    I think the OP is refering to this:  http://tv.adobe.com/show/the-complete-picture-with-julieanne-kost/
    There are buttons in the lower right corner for adjusting the playback quality.  The better choices require a fast internet connection. 

  • I am using IDVD to make slide shows.  The pictures are clear and of good quality.  When I burn the slide show to a disk, the pictures are blurry and of poor quality.  Is there a setting for quality of picture in burning a disk?

    I would re-post in the iDVD forum.  You are likely to get a faster answer there.  Good luck.

    The Mac software - iPhoto, iMovie, and iDVD are not the best with the Ken Burns effect (zoom in/out effect), so you might want to minimize that effect; also, if your subjects are wearing stripes for instance, that will have an effect if you zoom. There is better software available for slideshows; however, I do not know of any that is free (and does a good job). I've used Photo to Movie for some time; it does a fine job even in HD, but you have to pay for it. I use iDVD extensively, but only to add a menu, theme, special effects, etc. and then to burn it.

  • Poor Quality Stills on DVD

    Forgive this old favourite. I've gone through lots of past threads and still would like some help please. I've also posted the same question on the FCP forum as I am not sure in which application the solution lies.
    I am making a 04'00" film in FCP from jpeg stills alone. Some are in boxes, other have motion effects, all have lots of layers of text / text boxes on them. In short it's a real fiddle and render nightmare compared to good old DV!
    Anyway, a couple of questions. My final delivery format is DVD to play on a flatscreen LCD or Plasma screen, so should I be proofing the quality of the image on my cathoid ray tube monitor or on the LCD monitor of my iMac? Does the final TV platform make a difference to workflow?
    So far, following back thread advice, I have changed the Field Dominance button to None and dropped the Whites level to 90% which made the image on the LCD timeline fantastic (it had been aliasing massively before) but it still aliases on my CRT.
    Also, when I export the rendered film as a Current Settings QT and then encode via Compressor and put it into DVD Studio Pro, the picture quality again looks fantastic on DVD Studio Pro Simulate but once encoded onto the final DVD, the shots with movement added are very poor, with lots of aliasing.
    Forgive the long intro, but has anyone got a workflow I could try to reliably turn moving jpegs (big ones c12Megapixels) of houses (ie lots of straight lines which tend to flicker when moving) into a DVD to be played on LCD or Plasma in which the straight lines look straight and there is no aliasing or flicker on the pan /scans?
    Thank you in advance.

    Well, its obviously best to test your output on a source closet to your final display medium. You won't see the flickering of the thin lines on your monitor for several technical reasons, notwithstanding the fact hat simulator is not overly accurate (they even say that in the manual). Your monitor is not a substitute for how an image will look on an NTSC monitor, regardless of if its plasma, lcd, etc. Thin lines are usually killers, and taking time to thicken them in photoshop may not be your cup of tea. Jpegs are lesser quality picture format to begin with, but if thats the only way you have them, so be it. You usually run into a similar flicker problem when screen capturing websites to put on DVD. Webdesigners like to use thin, straight lines which flicker like crazy. Darkening and thickening can help, but again I don't know how much of a rush you are in.

  • Saving a Project In Pages, Images Poor Quality in PDF

    I have just purchased IWork 09, i am new to pages and so far find the software very handy and easy to use to make very attractive documents.
    i have one dilemma though.
    i save a (e.g.) poster in pages, but when i go to open it in PDF Preview, the images that i have inputted into the document are distorted or of a poor quality, when i open them in pages they are fine?.... also when i go 2 open the saved document in Adobe Reader 9, it wont open? i tried taking frames and shadows etc out just in case they are not supported, like in MS Word but still no luck. i have to send flyers for advertizment via e-mail to clients who are more than likely using Windows Xp or Vista.
    if some one could help with
    1. Getting my images to stay good quality
    2. opening it in adobe 9
    it would be very much appreciated

    You can not see which programs have been involved in each compression, but as far as I know, at least some programs store information about both themselves (last edited by) and the compression level in the exif/iptc data.
    The right way to work is to get as much data as possible off the colour capture in high bit and do the exposure correction getting into a normalised colour space either still in high bit or in scaled down 8 bit to save space.
    The pixels should be left alone from this phase and out. It is not necessary to change a single source pixel either in matching to the display, the printer or the press. All of this is done on the fly in memory and not be changing the pixels in the disk-based image document.
    As interchange file format for corrected colour captures stored in the normalised colour space, either use a linearised RGB space or high-bit CIELab. The file format should be lossless TIFF and not lossy JPEG (the way JPEG works internally is lossy by definition).
    Live Picture and Apple Aperture are alike in the way they work. Rather than taking the pixels into memory for correction, which is they way Photoshop worked, they construct a colour managed proxy for manipulation and then provide for a rendering that is non-destructive.
    Live Picture required ColorSync 2 and Apple Aperture is unable to work without colour management for the same set of reasons. Apple Pages is unable to work without colour management for the same set of reasons, although there are additional reasons for Apple Pages.
    Just my ten cents,

  • Poor quality image with doing videos with photos/images HELP!

    Hello,
    I bought Adobe Premiere Element to make videos with pictures. When I do the video, the quality of my photos is good. When I save the video on my computer or I download it on youtube (example) the quality of my photos is extremely poor. Why? Does anyone can help me? Thank you!

    What Project Preset did you choose at New Project? In the case of Video, composed of Still Images ONLY, you would set that to your desired delivery specs. Not so, if you are also using Video.  I tried several types of parameters. Some parameters give poor quality when I upload it to Youtube (for example) and others in the design of video and upload to YouTube. So which settings should I use for photos only ?
    This sounds like you are talking about the Export/Share settings for output to YouTube.
    What I was asking is what did you start off with, when you were at New Project?
    If you are doing an SD Project, you will have either 720 x 480 (NTSC), or 720 x 576 (PAL) pixels in the Project's Frame Size. If that is what you want, then I would Scale your camera original Stills to 640 x 480 (for NTSC), as you have Square Pixels, and the Project will have either 0.9 for NTSC Standard, or 1.21 for NTSC Widescreen).
    PrE can Scale the Still Images, but the Scaling algorithms in Photoshop are much better, and offer more control.
    Now, if you wish to do an HD Project, just choose that as your Preset, and then use the Images in about their original size. Note, there will be some black borders, as the screen-caps most likely have a different Aspect Ratio, than a Video Project, which for HD will be 16:9. Especially with screen-caps, that are pretty low resolution to begin with, I would NOT do any Scaling, and would live with the letterboxing, or pillar boxing, rather than Scale and effectively Crop.
    Also, when Scaling in Photoshop, I do not Save_As JPEG, as it introduces compression, but only as either PSD (Photoshop's native format), or PNG.
    Good luck,

  • Apple TV 2 Mirroring Poor Quality.........

    When my iPad 2 mirrors to my Apple TV 2, it goes to a very poor quality.
    Help!!
    I have tried changing the default resultion on the Apple TV (Menu & Up for 6 seconds), still to no avail

    Ok... this is by no means meant to be any exhaustive test but this is what I found out.
    I started iTunes Wifi sync with the iphone 4s so it was busy transfering data.
    I then started chopper 2, via Airplay with ATV. I immediately noticed the picture quality was poorer. There was noticable video compression artifacts on the screen. The picture seemed much softer.
    I then stopped the itunes Wifi sync ..
    I restarted chopper 2, and noticed a massive improvement in picture quality.
    My take away from this is, you need decent wifi bandwith to get the best possible picture from mirroring, so a Wifi-N router maybe desirable.

  • Poor quality still frames

    Does anyone know why still frames are such poor quality?
    I'm constructing a movie using stills, and if a Ken Burns effect is used, the picture changing to the next photo as soon as the effect finishes can be a little jarring on the eye.
    To counteract this, I've been adding a still frame of 1-2 seconds either side of the main Ken Burns adjusted photo to act as a 'cushion' (like you can in Photo to Movie). You can see the difference in quaity in iMovie, so it does of course remain when you have exported to Quicktime.
    Is there a better method of doing this than still frames? I notice that the overlap transition helps by hanging on to the end of the previous frame, but it's not ideal.
    Any suggestions?
    Quicksilver G4   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   Programmes in regular use are Freehand, Photoshop, Freeway, Keynote, iMovie, iDV

    Karl, I swear you live inside everyone's browser, with a manual the like of which the rest of us have never seen!
    As usual, among the quickest to answer on these forums, and absolutely correct.
    It worked like a dream - another major headache removed. Many thanks indeed.

  • Poor quality streaming videos

    I've noticed that my imac can't handle or should I say doesn't have the same quality streaming playback as my PC. I thought mac's were meant to handle media, graphics, video's & such. I'm presently running with what came with my OS which is Quicktime 7 & I downloaded the newest version of media player but the picture quality on both are very poor with visible pixels & frequent stalling & pausing. Can anyone suggest a program out there or maybe I've got something setup wrong.

    Quicktime 7 & I downloaded the newest version of media player but the picture quality on both are very poor with visible pixels & frequent stalling & pausing.
    Poor quality video is usually the result of low resolution media files being streamed to you, If you play any of the movie trailers on the Quicktime site, for example, you can see the high quality of streaming video that is possible in Quicktime.
    I cannot recall visiting any sites recently that have high quality feeds for Windows Media Player. Many of the WMP feeds I have seen look fine if you keep the player window on the small side, but rapidly disintigrate as you enlarge the window. I have to admit I have not looked for sites with WMP content, so what I have seen is just that which I have come across.

  • Poor quality Export for HD with moving objects

    When I export from iMovie6 any moving image is very poor quality. I am using a Sony HDR-HC1 and trying to export at the highest possible settings.
    When the image is still the quality is very good, but if anything moves the image goes "wobbly" and "jigsaw" like. Panning shots are hopeless and anyone walking in the shot goes wobbly.
    The original capture image seems fine, so I assume it is an exporting problem. Exporting at lower setting, ie for an iPod, the image is great.
    I have tried all different setting, some are better than others.
    Can anyone help?

    Your description of the problem - a 'comb' effect - sounds as if the "fields" which make up the resultant picture have been put together in reverse.
    (..You don't normally see 'interlaced' video in iMovie's playback window - you normally see just a single field of the two, to make the picture clearer and simpler to display..)
    [..A video picture's generally made up of two "fields" which each comprise half the number of lines down the screen: one field comprises the odd-numbered lines, and the other the even-numbered ones. Your exported video should be encoded with the lower (2nd) field first ..as described in this Apple document ..and the problem's mentioned here as well..]
    However ..you said in your first post that "..I am using a Sony HDR-HC1 and trying to export at the highest possible settings.."
    This is an HDV camcorder, and you didn't say if the original footage which you shot was HDV or normal DV. (HDV is recorded differently from normal DV, as it's recorded in a more compressed format, and it has to be automatically 'unscrambled' by Apple's Intermediate Codec while you're importing it into iMovie HD.)
    It seems as if somewhere along the chain of importing>editing>exporting, the fields are being reversed, so that you get this jumpiness on replay when QuickTime tries to deliver a "highest quality" interleaved replay of both fields:
    Ah ..sudden thought: you mentioned that you exported thro' iDVD: "..I have used iDVD by dropping it into a DVD theme and it seems to work ok, although the playback is a little jumpy, not quite as good I would have expected.."
    You may have left the iDVD settings at their default 'NTSC' instead of switching them to PAL.
    Check your iDVD Preferences ..that may be the problem.

  • Poor quality images on Slideshow

    Hello all,
    I recently downloaded Aperture from the Mac App store - seemed to good a bargain not to and I was already considering upgrading from iPhoto 08.
    I imported all my pictures (along with the captions) into Aperture and created a slideshow from an album. I was quite disappointed to see that the image quality was really poor and very grainy. The photos themselves were fine in the album - but not so in the slideshow.
    I thought this may have been down to importing from iPhoto, so I experimented by adding other images directly into Aperture. The same slideshow quality issue arose. I also possess a MacBook Pro and decided to re-perform the steps described above. The images and slideshow are absolutely fine on my MacBook pro.
    I wish to maintain my photo library on my main iMac and will be very downhearted if Aperture cannot give me the same picture quality on slideshows that I achieved in iPhoto. Can anyone help me figure out why I'm suffering from poor quality images in slideshows on my iMac?
    Thanks in advance,
    Simon.

    Hi Simon,
    Aperture uses the image Preview in Slideshows:
    _About Displaying Sharp Images in Slideshows_
    To display slideshows at the best quality, you should set Aperture to create high-resolution previews. In addition to setting previews to their highest resolution, you should also use full-size previews to prevent upscaling with large displays. If previews are not available, images in the slideshow may not be as sharp as they would be otherwise. For more information about creating high-resolution previews, see Working with Preview Images.
    From the [User Manual|http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/index.html#chapter=21%26se ction=2]
