Projects are blurry once uploaded/saved?

Everytime I save something in PSE 11 that has text or graphics, I feel like the clarity is not even remotely close to what I was seeing in PSE. The whole thing often has a blurry/pixelated look to it. I am sure that any graphics are large files for clarity and in PSE 11 they appear very clear and sharp, I am usually saving in .png The resolution is 300.
What can I do to make sure that they save crystal clear and sharp so that once they are uploaded (to somewhere like Facebook for a timeline cover) that they don't loose that sharpness to text and graphics that I see in PSE? What is the best format to save in? I don't have this issue with pictures I am editing, it seems to just be stuff I am making. Business cards, timeline covers, forum signatures,etc.

For things such as timeline covers, I have no choice but to upload to Facebook. But I seem to loose clarity on text/graphics once uploaded, even though I've seen other make covers with PSE products and theirs are sharp and crips looking.
Should I save in another format? When I save in .png it asks about interlace. Do I choose none or interlace? I usually choose none.

QuickTime 10.1 Screen Recordings are Blurry Once Imported into Premiere Pro CS6

I am doing some screen recordings on my Mac using QuickTime 10.1, but when I try to import them into Premiere Pro CS6, they are poor quality and blurry. It's difficult to read text and logos on the recordings are showing up fuzzy. Anything I can do to improve the quality with what I have? I'm trying to do a new site demo, so I'd like to have things appear more clearly. I am, however, by no means a video expert or Premiere Pro expert, so a lot of the output names and labels, I'm not familiar with. Is that what I'm doing wrong?

Screenshots are blurry when ppt is uploaded

I have uploaded a sales ppt. presentation with screenshots of
our product. When you view the presentation locally the screenshots
are perfectly clear.
Once uploaded into Connect Pro the print on the screen shots
blur. What can I do to improve the experience for the viewer?
Quick responses are really appreciated as this presentation
is going to occur tomorrow!

You created the slideshow using the built-in Ken Burns effect in iPhoto or iMovie? I've never found that to be up to my expectations; additionally, if the people or objects in the pictures have certain designs (in their clothes), using movement can blur them. I use Photo to Movie myself - to me it creates the smoothest movement in slideshows. Another possibility is the size of your images: did you increase or decrease their original size? And when you encoded it, what settings did you use? I use the Share > Quicktime > Expert settings and then choose these options:
I've found that these settings result in the most lossless conversion. After the new .mov file is saved to the desktop, I then add it to iDVD after creating a customized menu and theme.

Everytime when I quit FCP X, I could not find the file that was created previously. I'm aware files (events/projects) are saved automatically. But strangely when I reopen FCP, the event/projects are not listed.

I need help here. Saved events/projects are not visible or listed when I reopen FCP X. Tried to open from the event folder don't seem to work.
I'm using MacOS X 10.6.8 and just bought FCP X 10.1.
Help.

No. I'm not using two hard drives. Files saved on MacBook Pro HDD. Only time I use the second HD is for backup but while working on FCP X.
This is unclear.
Do you have another HD with FCP X projects and / or events?
If you do (whether it's a backup or not) it will cause the exact problem you described. Make sure any other drives with FCP X events or projects are turned off before you launch FCP X.
If you don't have a second drive with events or projects, I suggest you try trashing your preferences.
Faults like this can sometimes be fixed by clearing out FCP X's preferences (for some reason, they get knotted up from time to time).
Download Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager (free, simple to use, and quite safe).
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
With Pref Manager, you can backup the Prefs first, then if trashing makes no difference, you can restore all your settings.
If you trash them and don't restore them, you will need to go over your FCP X settings again, so it's a great idea to backup Preferences from time to time when FCP X is working well, then you can ditch the bad prefs and restore from your (Digital Rebellion) backup.

How come you marked your own post as "Correct Answer" when all it does is tell Bob he's wrong? This will mislead people.

Activities no longer viewed once projects are tagged as TECO

Hi,
How come activities are not viewable once projects are set to technically complete? Our users would like to refer to the projects even after it has been completed.

Hello Gerardo,
I have exactly the same question as you.
I am curious to know if you received an answer, before you answered "Thank you". Is it possible that there is a message missing from the thread?
Thank you in advance

Color and quality of photo changes once uploaded to online printing galleries (like Shutterfly).

The photos are RGB. Shutterfly can't figure out why and says there must be some error in the file when it is saved. Does anyone have a reason and/or solution? The portion of the photo on the left is edited, the one on the right is how the image looks once uploaded. It happens to every single photo.
I saved for web and uploaded again and the color looks a little better, but still not right. The one on the right is the correct original:
If photo looks blurry please click on it- not sure what is going on with that either!

The way I work is as follows (my screens are colour hardware calibrated):
- create the image
- convert the image with the sRGB IEC61966-2.1 colour profile, set to perceptual rendering
- export to web with sRGB profile embedded (optional)
The last step makes no difference in colour when you view the final results (with or without embedded colour profile) in either IE or Opera: they are identical. In FF and Chrome it does affect the colour quality, with the embedded profile version more correct looking.
And I would argue AGAINST turning on that option in Firefox, because you are isolating yourself from the rest of the world: at least then you will be aware of the slight colour change, while with the option turned on you cannot know.
I tend to disagree with this workflow - it means pretty much no-one except you will be able to see the image as intended, because no-one is going to activate that option in Firefox. And what about other browsers?
Of course you have no control over how everybody else's systems are set up, but that's not your problem, it's theirs.
Disagree. While you cannot control the setup of others, I am of the opinion we should try our best to provide the best quality, and therefore we should be aware of these issues while we work with and preview our imagery on the web. It feels to me as if this is an ostrich approach: hiding your head in the sand, and hoping the problem goes away.
To learn more about how specific browsers deal with color profiles and untagged images, check out:
http://cameratico.com/tools/web-browser-color-management-test/
As for ShutterFly: I just did some testing of my own, and it seems Shutterfly does not care one bit whether a jpg has an embedded sRGB profile or not. I uploaded both versions of mine (embedded and no sRGB profile), and checked the generated thumbnails with this:
Jeffrey's Exif viewer
It tells me the processed thumbnails have no profile embedded, so it becomes a crap shoot what the output (printed) quality will be like - you cannot trust the colours in their thumbnails/previews in a browser, because the OS and the browser will have to handle those untagged images.
It seems the best you can hope for with ShutterFly is to upload your images after you converted them with the sRGB profile in your image editor (Photoshop, Photoline, etc) and exporting the JPGs with an embedded sRGB profile.

Flash video does not show up once uploaded. Help please.

OK I've spent several days searching online for an answer to this question and I'm at my wit's end. Please help me out. This is what is going on.
I'm using flash to design a basic website. Within that website I want to place a .flv file. Everything works fine in preview mode and test movie mode. The problem comes when I puplish to the web. I'm just using flash to publish which puts all the files in a folder.
IN previous attempts, once I load those files onto a server it does not play the .flv file. The .sfw skin will show up but the general .sfw file for the project doesn't seem to be finding the .flv file. And yes, I'm uploading the .flv file to the server. Is there something wrong with the html code that it can't find the .flv file? I can replicate this problem on my desktop by moving the .flv file out of it's project folder. Once I do that and then click the .html file the page will load but it won't find the video file. It's like it can only open that file if it's in the original project folder and the folder doesn't get moved.
I can't be the only who has experienced this. Please help!

The effect you're having "only displaying the flvplayer skin but no video" is a clear sign that your swf can't find the flv.
One thing that you can do to ensure that everything is right is to first upload the .flv file to the desired location and then link your FLVPlayback to the url on the flash IDE / AS.
2nd Option would be to:
save flv, fla and swf in the SAME folder (no subfolders or such)
upload flv and swf to your webserver while keeping them together in the same folder, that ensures that your files can find eachother.

Why can't I open a FCE project file that I have saved? (It now says ZERO kb

Hello...
I have just started working on a project in Final Cut Express - I render, save, and close out of FCE - but, when I go back to FCE, the project I was working on does not open.
Why can't I open a project file that I have saved?
Here was my process in a nutshell:
~ When I opened FCE, I went the System Preferences and set the Scratch Disks to a folder on my external hard drive.
~Then, I went to File - New Project - worked on the project for a while (including creating bins, importing images and video, and creating a sequence.
~I saved the project file to the same folder that I set my Scratch Disks to.
as often throughout this process.)
~When I was done, I saved again andd closed FCE.
~Then, soon after, I opened FCE again and my project did not open automatically.
~So, I clicked File - Open Recent - browsed to and chose the project file name and FCE gave me a "Unable to open file" message.
~When I check to see if the project file actually saved to my external hard drive, the name appears, but it says the file size is ZERO kb.
I have done this twice with the same unfortunate result. What am I doing wrong? I have worked on FCE on this same computer before, setting the Scratch Disks the same way, and I did not have this problem.
Please help. Thank you so much for your feedback.
...Rae

Are you sure you are trying to open the project file you actually saved ?
Try using Spotlight to search for your project file name. I might be wrong, but I guess you try to open an empty copy while your real project file (what you saved) is somewhere else in either your startup disk (Documents folder ?) or the external drive. If so do not use Open Recent in FCE but simply double click the "real" project file.

My photo stream is no longer working. Both my icloud settings in my phone under "photos" as well as my pc icloud pictures are all set to "on" and pics are no longer uploading to photostream. What's up?

My photo stream is no longer working. Both my icloud settings in my phone under "photos" as well as my pc icloud pictures are all set to "on" and pics are no longer uploading to photostream. What's up?

I experienced this problem recently but was able to solve it by signing out of, then back into Photo Stream on the computer. This will temporarily remove your photos, but once you get signed back in, it will repopulate the photos. Be sure you have updated to the latest version as well.

Is there a way to stop users from having multiple projects open at once?

I run a video editing lab and this new feature is causing no end of grief as students on one station decide to 'check out' what others are doing on other stations, then they leave these projects up in the background as they work on their project. Changes aren't saved, sound is lost, projects are corrupted, it's just plain ugly. Since all my stations are in sound proof private rooms, policing them constantly isn't practical. Can I turn this feature off, or do I need to revert to the older version? I need to only have one project open at a time, any advice is most welcome! Thank-you in advance.

Hmmm,
Well, from a logical point of view..
..If all the work is kept on a central server, and each student stores his work there..
..Aren't there limits to prevent 1 student from doing things to another students work ??
Another way to do things [maybe] is to write an Applescript to close sessions other than the student's own ??
How about running Remote, to monitor the students from a central location ??
Just a thought,
Peter

I recently received my new iPhone 4 from my carrier since my old one was stolen. I restored my new iPhone from my old iPhones iCloud back up but now all the pictures that were stored in my old phone are blurry in my new phone. Please help!

Luckily, using the "Find My iPhone" app, I was able to scare the thieves into bringing my iPhone back to the place they stole it from (Dave and Busters..on my BIRTHDAY OF ALL DAYS). So now, $169 later (deductible for replacement iPhone), I have both my 1st iPhone and my replacement. On my first iPhone, I have all of my pictures saved and they are very clear, but when I restored my replacement iPhone from my original iPhones iCloud backup, all the pictures that I took in my original iPhone are blurry! I thought about backing up my original iPhone through iTunes and then resetting my replacement iPhone and restoring it from my original iPhones settings but I dont want to lose all of my new pictures I took. I know this sounds confusing (well, it looks confusing, since you cant actually hear me) but I could use all the help I can get!

I have recently updated my software on the new iPhone and when it backed up it backed up to the old iPhone
No such thing has occurred. iPhones do not backup to one another.
It is not possible to backup a different iPhone from the one being updated.
If the iPhone was restored with a backup from a different device, restore it again from the correct backup.

how can I get all my new stuff back and stop it from happening again?
Pay attention when restoring the iPhone and select the correct backup to restore from.

Photos blurry when uploaded

when i upload to an online developing service like Snapfish OR when i try to order prints from IPhoto my photos are blurry. in snapfish they actually appear blurry and i get a low resolution warning and when ordering from IPhoto i also get the low resolution warning. this eventhough all my photos are 1704X22772 resolution. i did an experiment where i upload directly to snapfish via my cardreader (rather than importing into IPhoto first) and those pictures were fine.
can someone help me ? i just converted to Mac from PC just because i thought this kind of stuff would be easier.

Nimi
It sounds like you're uploading the Thumbnails that iPhoto uses to display the pics in the iPhoto Window and not the files themselves.
How do you go about uploading?
Try selecting a pic in the iPhoto Window and dragging it to the desktop. iPhoto will make a full-sized copy there. Upload that, and then trash it after. (It's only a copy.) You can also use the File -> Export command and have more options.

How do I save a PDF ready for print. I have a problem with the fonts. The fonts are blurry after printing. There is a trick in saving PDF.

Hi el_giclee,
Important to note from the beginning is that when you create your Photoshop document make sure you chose 300 Pixels/inch as your resolution.
I'm interested in seeing your Save Adobe PDF dialog box after you choose to save the PDF.
Could you post a screenshot of this dialog box with the Compression menu selected on the left side?
It's a good idea to select High Quality Print or Press Quality in the Adobe PDF Preset menu at the top of this box. It will automatically select the best default settings for a printed piece.

How to not delete photos on memory card once uploaded to iphoto??

Hello!
I have checked the box that said DELETE PHOTOS ON MEMORY CARD ONCE UPLOADED ON IPHOTO, and I did check "don't ask me again"... and now I do not know how to undo this mistake I made.
Please help?
Thanks!!

What OS and version of iPhoto -- prior to Lion
A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.
