Poor results when photos edited but look good when 'done'

HI,
Apple seems to have ALMOST fixed the problems with the editing part of iPhoto. But pictures are still not very sharp in the edit mode. However when I finish editing and click done the pictures look better. But they really look GREAT when I email them.
Any ideas? I will send this as feedback to Apple. Maybe they will get it right next upgrade.

Have you considered replacing the 6052E and SCXI-1140 with a single S-series board (such as the PCI-6143) in order to eliminate the phase delay? The catch to this configuration is that you would need to be in parallel mode, so you would need a 6143 for every SCXI-1141. The SCXI-1140 is going to introduce quite a bit of additional error into your measurements that could be eliminated by sending the signal straight to a simultaneous DAQ board. I would recommend looking at the amplitude of your noise and comparing it to the specs of both modules (keep in mind that the noise from the 1141 will be amplified through the 1140 depending on how you have the jumpers set) - this will tell you if your noise levels match the specifications.

  • Poor Results When Importing QT movie Into iMovie HD

    My Panasonic FX9 digital camera has a Movie Mode that records in QT (.mov) at 640x480 at 30fps. The resulting movies look fantastic in Quicktime 7. However, when I import the same movie into iMovie HD, there are noticeable artifacts, and the picture doesn't look very good anymore. By contrast, my Sanyo VPC-C6 MPEG-4 video camera, which is also 640x480 at 30fps, doesn't look as good as the FX9 to begin with, but looks identical in both Quicktime and iMovie HD.
    Any thoughts?

    Never mind.....I created a new user (again), and all is well. Also, the original question has been answered: the final quality of the converted QT movie on DVD is better than the playback in iMovie, even in best quality mode. Also, in comparing the Sanyo's MPEG-4 vs the Panasonic's QT Movie Mode, it makes me wonder why no one has created a QT-based camcorder like the MPEG-4 camcorders. Yes, the files are larger, but I would trade less recording time for better quality. I understand that Sanyo will becoming out with a 1280 v 720 "HD" version of my VPC-C6 soon, so maybe the quality will get better.
    Thanks for the help!

  • What is the best Photo editing software with good organiser for a mac?

    I have been using PSE9 on our PC and have just switched to using a mac so loaded PSE9 on that and have been discovering quite a few differences, limitations or basic functions just not there.
    At the moment I'm very dissapointed because I had no idea that would be the case, I guess I just assumed it would be better than a pc. I'm obviously going to need to buy more editing software but don't want something for the same price but get less just because it's on a mac.
    I do quite a bit of tweaking with PSE9, layers, actions (downloaded of the net), general tweaking, some fun funky stuff.
    Need a better organiser than iphoto.
    I would like to be able to batch process too which I can't currently do.
    I can get the educational packages.
    What would suit those needs best?

    Yes that is what I'm saying.
    Maybe I'm doing it wrong but I was on the phone to Apple for over an hour the other day and even the man on the phone was apologetic and said that no, it doesn't sort accoring to date taken.
    My screen looks quite different to yours. I choose Finder/Pictures and then select the folders or sort. When I select the date created I get photo all out of order that I know I didn't take on those dates. It also shows me the files horizontally stacked to the right rather than a page view.
    I've included a screen shot.
    Under the previous 7 days you will see a shot in black and white
    You will also see it in colour under previous 30 days yet they were taken on the same day. I only have a few photos in the folders for the purpose of playing around with trying to work this all out but when I had hundreds of photos in there many were out of sync and I couldn't find them.
    I am used to seeing
    3/4/2012 (then all those photos)
    9/10/2012 (photos)
    4/12/2009 (photos)
    etc.... all ordered all logical. If this can be done and I'm doing something wrong - I'll be so happy!
    I really don't like how they all get stacked at one end. If I open a folder then they show me them unstacked which I prefer.

  • Gradient (not smooth) has ripples on TV but looks good in Motion canvas?

    Could someone help me fix these ripples in my gradient? I have a gradient color as the background (pink fades to black), it looks smooth on my computer but on my TV monitor it is ripply and choppy as it fades out to black.
    I am working in NTSC DV.
    Thanks
    marco

    When I say render out, I mean exporting your Motion Project as a QT movie.
    I took a look at your project and rendered out a sample in Animation codec 32-bit. I didn't see any visible banding in the bkg peach to black gradient. The yellow circle in the right corner was walking a bit because the edge was harsh, and the yellow was really bright. Also the font is very thin for DV so it will not look that good.
    The font could be thicker, but I was able to address the visual problems with the circle by dropping the Fill Opacity to 90% and to apply a slight feather (4). DV as a codec doesn't like thin lines or sharp edges.
    Again, I didn't see any banding on the bkg gradient though. Even when I rendered out the sample in DV.

  • Omf import from cubase sx 3.0 sounds chopped but looks good. help please!

    Category: Audio
    Brief Summary: omf import from cubase 3.0 sx sounds chopped
    my CPU: Power Macintosh G4 1GH DP (Mirrored Drive Doors)
    RAM: 512GB
    APP: Logic Pro 7
    OS: Mac OS X 10.3.9
    QT: 6.5.1 Midi Model: PRESONUS FIREBOX
    Midi Driver: CORE AUDIO
    I IMPORTET A OMF FILE with about 6 audio tracks FROM CUBASE 3.O SX THAT I GOT FROMA PROFESSIONAL
    STUDIO.THE FILES HAVE 24 BIT AND 48 HZ SAMPLERATE
    I WAS ASKED BY LOGIC IF I WANT TO CONVERT THE AUDIO FILES.
    I DID NOT AND INSTEAD CHANGED THE 16 BIT AND 42 HZ AFTER THE IMPORT WAS FINISHED IN THE SONGbecause i wanna use the high quality to record my voice over the tracks.
    THE AUDIOTRAKS WERE IN THE AUDIOBARS BUT WHEN I LISTENED IT SOUNDED CHOPPED, OVERLAYING AND SHIFTED.
    THE OMF CONVERSION IN CUBASE WAS VERSION 2
    OTHERWISE I HAVE NO PROBLEMS WITH LOGIC SOMETIMES DIGITAL CRACKS.DO I HAVE PROBLEMS BECAUSE OF 512 RAM AND MEDIUM BUFFER SIZE THAT LEAVES NOT ENOUGH SPACE FOR OMF FILE? I RUN LOGIC ON THE 10.3.9 SURFACE.
    THE COMPUTER OF THE STUDIO I GOT THE FILES FROM IS MUCH MORE POWERFUL RUNS ON THE SAME 10.3.9 THOUGH, COULD THAT HAVE TO DO WITH IT?
    THANKS TO ALL THAT CAN HELP, PIA

    Wow, you are even more paranoid than me. Those are some good steps to take before upgrade. My upgrade went smooth, so I will list you my steps and you can compare.
    1. Turn off iPod completely (hold sleep, slide to power off)
    2. Download and install iTunes 8.2, reboot computer
    3. Turn on iPod and sync to new iTunes (this was my biggest fear since 8.2 is known for sync problems with touch and iphone)
    4. Buy, download and install 3.0 (total time around 40 min.)
    5. Eject from iTunes, power on/off (note: your app icons are gonna be all over the place across 4 pages so you have to do some rearranging
    6. Sync again
    7. Check wifi and reset network settings on iPod if signal is weak, or reset your router (I didn't have to do any of this but I reset my network setting on iPod anyway)
    8. Enjoy

  • Other photo editing software for the Mac

    Couldn't really find a category to put this question, so please bare with me. I have read some stuff about iPhoto (any version?) sometimes giving problems. Was wondering what other kinds of photo editing software is good to use on Tiger. PhotoShop Elements etc.? I have a Sawtooth 400mHz with 620MB of RAM. My Tiger is the original release: 10.4, but plan on updating to a newer version shortly.
    Thanks.

    To add to Larry's list: take a look at Pixelmator also.
    These are some of the system requirements for iLife 08:
    "System Requirements
    Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 processor.
    iMovie requires a Mac with an Intel processor, a Power Mac G5 (dual 2.0GHz or faster), or an iMac G5 (1.9GHz or faster). iMovie HD 6 can still be used and is preferred by many of us.
    iDVD requires a 733MHz or faster processor.
    512MB of RAM; 1GB recommended. High-definition video requires at least 1GB of RAM.
    Mac OS X v10.4.9 or later.
    3GB of available disk space.
    DVD drive required for installation.
    QuickTime 7.2 or later.
    Burning DVDs requires an Apple SuperDrive or compatible third-party DVD burner. "
    It doesn't look like your G3 meets the system requirements. You may be able to install some parts of iLife 08 but I'm not sure. Do a search in this forum for "G3 and iPhoto" or other similar search criteria to see if others have been successful.
    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) 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), 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. 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.

  • HT204655 photos loaded but appearing as blank thumbnails

    I've just migrated a large amount of photos to the Photos programme, but many of them don't appear in thumbnail view - instead, the thumbnail is blank. If I double click on the blank thumbnail, the photo appears, and then the thumbnail appears, but otherwise, the majority of my library appears as blanks.
    Any advice?

    I take it you just can't do another delete on those blank thumbnails, right?
    Try rebuilding the library using iPhoto Library Manager. It creates a new library while leaving the old one untouched. It has often worked when iPhoto's rebuild did not. Here's how:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: It can take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos. One user reported that with a library of about 5,000 images it took about 12 hours so plan ahead.
    Good luck.

  • Photo editing app

    Anyone know of a robust photo editing app for the ipad that offers brush control like those found in Aperture 3?
    Most of the apps on the app store provide just one touch filters that apply to the whole image and I think that's too lacking.
    I know filterstorm has some form of brush control but that app is really slow, and I don't want to pay $3 for photogene only to find out it only has simple one filters. Any alternatives you guys suggest?

    Thanks for the suggestions guys. I understand the iPad isn't really a viable option for photo editing, but I think it'd be suitable for images that require minor touch ups, and brush controls using touch would be useful. Would be nice if I could lug my desktop 1700 miles away or use my wacom on my mbp in the plane w/o disturbing the passenger next to me. Unfortunately the iPad seems the most portable in these scenarios.

  • I've been giving HD videos in MTS format and convert the for editing in FCE.  Looks good in the program, but when I export the finished film, quality had been noticeable diminished.  Is there any way to prevent FCE from lowering the output quality?

    Hello -
    I've been sent HD footage in MTS format and converted it to Mp4 for editing in FCE.  It looks good in FCE but when I export the movie, the quality is noticably diminished.   Is there any way I can prevent FCE from lowering the quality on export?
    Thanks.

    >I use Foxreal video converter for Mac to convert the MTS using the Apple intermediate codec setting and the problem is that I don't get image, just audio
    My thought would be to NOT use Foxreal video converter.
    Use MPEG Streamclip or Clipwrap.

  • When I open a photo I saved with PE13, the photo looks good. But when I click on advanced mode, the photo is all pixelated. What is the problem?

    When I open a photo file I saved with PE 13, the photo looks good. Then when I click on advanced mode, the photo becomes all pixelated. Any suggestions how to stop this?

    The menu selection only shows the other options if you already have a selection active; a selection made with one of the available tools like lasso or quick selection. First select with the tools, then use the menu 'Select'.

  • When I first am looking at my newly uploaded photos in "Library", a box appears near the bottom of the photo that says "loading" (the photo looks good to me), then it is more "faded" and does not look as good.  Is there some setting on that I am not aware

    When I am first looking at my newly uploaded photos in "Library," a box appears near the bottom of the photo that says "Loading".  While it is loading, I usually think the photo looks "good".  After the photo is done loading, it looks more washed out.  Is there some sort of setting that I might have on (or that I need to turn on) so that this does not happen.  I have Lr4.  Thanks.

    Hi Tracy,
    There used to be a way to see if poster was new to the forum.., anyway - welcome to the forum.
    As I was alluding to, biggest differences in initial display are due to:
    * Camera calibration profile.
    * Auto-exposure/contrast settings (for which compensations have been auto-applied in camera, but not in Lightroom).
    So, choose a matching camera calibration profile (whether that's an option or not depends on your camera model - they're available for many but not all models) if you prefer one of them over "Adobe Standard" (the factory default profile).
    Also, your camera covers for underexposure due to non-optimal auto-exposure/contrast setting, Lightroom doesn't, so your options are:
    * turn it off in camera.
    * learn to compensate manually (or automatically via a plugin) in Lightroom.
    Of course, in addition to preferred defaults (alt-click big "reset" button in dev module), come up with some presets which are appropriate for your druthers and type of photography.. e.g. these will compensate Nikon ADL settings:

  • My iPhones gives me a message that I don't have enough storage to backup.  When I attempt to manage my storage it shows 1 backup for the phone I use and it's 5GB.  I have transferred all my photos to my computer hoping it would create storage but no good.

    My iPHone tells me I don't have enough iCLoud storage.  When I manage my storage from Settings it shows 1 backup for my primary phone and it's 5GB.  I understand that is what Apple provides for free and I could upgrade but I don't want to upgrade.  I have transferred most all my photos to the computer and I have no music on my device.  And this was several weeks ago and I have attempted to backup since hoping it would create a new backup but no good.
    I have even went in the backup and turned off Camera Roll since it's the largest but still no good.
    If you have any suggestions other than upgrade your storage plan please help.
    Thanks

    Try deleting the old backup.

    Have a look at your import setting specifically Store Files:
    Make sure it is set to where you want the originals to go.

  • I just finished a project in Final Cut Pro.  Looks good. BUT when I export it the slugs show as a red screen?

    Final Cut Pro finished project looks good in FC but when I export The slugs appear as a Red screen  any ideas?

    You certainly are new at this. That's cool, we all were new at one point.
    You have a MacBookPro. That means you are using at least Mac OS X 10.5.6. Otherwise FCS 3 would not even install. You also should have QuickTime 7 installed. If you don't, it's in the Additional Installs folder  on the Mac OSX disc that came with your computer.
    OS 2 is an ancient Microsoft/IBN product and doesn't run on a Mac and certainly won't run Final Cut.
    Your camera shoots in AVCHD format. The files are MPEG 4 and should have been transcoded to ProRes LT for use in FCP. Your Sequence settings should also be ProRes LT to match the transcoded footage.
    Your laptop is not a codec.
    Wiki definition:
    A codec is a device or computer program capable of encoding and/or decoding a digital data stream or signal. word codec is a portmanteau of 'compressor-decompressor' or, more commonly, 'coder-decoder'. A codec (the program) should not be confused with a coding or compression format or standard – a format is a document (the standard), a way of storing data, while a codec is a program (an implementation) which can read or write such files. In practice "codec" is sometimes used loosely to refer to formats, however.
    Don't export using QuickTime Conversion. Export as Self Contained with Current Settings (same as your FCP Sequence, which by now is hopefully ProRes LT. Import that file into iDVD.
    Better yet, learn DVD Studio Pro and Compressor. Both are included in Final Cut Studio and will give you far more control and much better results.
    Whilst your video is encoding, take the time to read the user manuals found in the menu bar under the Help item. They contain a wealth of information and you can amaze the teacher and fellow students with your new found knowledge.
