Psd's are pixelated

I took someones advice on here to make the sequence square pixels but then when i want to make a widescreen i cant do that or can i?. Here is the psd i'm trying to compose in the widescreen sequence
File Path: C:\Users\ry\Desktop\PinkLilyPhoto\Logo\logo redo FINAL.psd
Type: Photoshop
File Size: 12.5 MB
Image Size: 2000 x 1580
Pixel Depth: 32
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.0 (1.2121)
i tried to conform it to d1/dv ntsc widescreen 16:9 1.2121
sequence settings are as follows
HIneline
720 x 480
00;06;24;06, 23.976 fps
48000 Hz - Stereo
no fields progressive scan
d1/dv ntsc widescreen 16:9 1.2121
i'm using an after effects exported movie to as well that doesnt look to bad but for a 900 dollar program it should look a heck alot better.
File Path: C:\Users\ry\Videos\NB Anna\Premiere\NB Hineline.mp4
Type: XDCAM-EX Movie (was set for h.264 custom)
File Size: 154.0 MB
Image Size: 720 x 480

Frame Rate: 23.976
Total Duration: 00:06:38:05
Average Data Rate: 395 KB / second
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.2121
Created with: Adobe After Effects 9.0
i thought as long as your frame rate and your image size and pixel aspect ratio matches all you wouldnt have this problem. how do i fix this issue? The psd looks okay in "fit" zoom but when i go 100% its shot. i tried burning it and it looks the same as 100% since that is the native resolution. please help thanks..

You my friend are a genius! worked like a charm!
Thanks
One more question not related the pixelation is that in System Preferences/Desktop & Screen Saver
Two 'Aperture Projects' come up with identical content in them of my Aperture Library. Both with the little triangle expander to the left of them. I can't understand why there are two of the exact same thing.

Saved PSE photoshop files are pixelated

I've been noticing when I go back to certain PSD files, they are pixelated. Any thoughts to why that is? Am I saving them wrong? I typically start in Lightroom, move to PSE, apply actions, save jpeg and/or webfile, then save psd file.
Help! I've had to do a lot of rework!
Thanks!

It’s usually better to export your jpegs from your Lightroom Library.
I use the following sequence:
1) select image in Lightroom and press Ctrl+E to send to PSE (choose PSD with Lightroom settings)
2) Edit in Elements and press Ctrl+S to save and overwrite.
3) Press Ctrl+W to close and update Lightroom copy.
4) With PSD still selected click Lightroom export button and choose quality, ppi and jpeg size.

Even vector-based layers are pixelated. Why?

The files I am creating in photoshop are all coming out very pixelated lately. Especially after I flatten the image or export it to a pdf. This is true even for text layers, eps files I placed, and vector-based objects I drew. The photo layers are pixelated too, even though they were hi-res to begin with and I only made them smaller when I added them to my document. Any idea why everything is so pixelated? I tried changing the file from 72 to 300 pixels/inch, but that didn't clarify the images. It just smoothed the edges a bit.

As Chris pointed out if you flatten you no longer have any vector graphics, To save your vector graphics you need to save in a layered format. PSB, PSD or Tiff.
You can additionally save different sized non layered image files from your layered document. When you use Image Size to resample you document to a different size vector layers like shapes and text will be resized using vector graphics and pixel layers will be interpolated using the method you set in the image size dialog or your Photoshop preferences interpolation method. It would be best if you use a tool like one of the Image Processor scripts to save these files from your Layer documents files so your layered files are not changed and over written. Some of the Image Processor scripts use Photoshop plug-in Fit Image to do the resizing. Fit Image uses interpolation method bicubic. The newer Image Processor Pro can be downloaded from Russell Browns web site once installed you will find it under menu File>Automate>Image Processor Pro. Its let you set which interpolations methods should be used for different output file sets.

Exporting sequence from Final Cut Pro 7, some clips are pixellated and bad quality, does this have anything to do with the fact that I changed those clips speed?

Hello,
Bit of a beginner using Final Cut Pro 7
Am currently trying to export a sequence using quicktime conversion. Sequence has various filters and effects over it and when I export it some of the clips are pixellated and appear to have not exported correctly. From what I can gather the affected clips have either been slowed down or made faster. I am wondering whether this is the reason they have not exported correctly
Any help would be appreciated
Cheers

More information needed.
Codec of material?
Sequence settings? (codec)
fwiw - do not use quicktime conversion. Use Export Quicktime with Current Settings enabled then do any format conversions in Compressor.

When I open thumbnail images in another tab they are pixelated, what's wrong?

When I go on any website with images they are pixelated. Placing the cursor over each image gives the me the option of pressing 'alt' and 'r' to refresh the image or 'alt' and 'a' to refersh the whole page. When I open a thumbnailed picture in a new tab, whether or not I've refreshed the page or the image beforehand, the image is pixelated and I can't refesh it. What's going on?

Every time Firefox opened

Sounds like you are using a dial-up connection along with a "web accelerator". If that is the case it is a feature of that web accelerator from your ISP. They speed up page loading by initially supplying lower quality images and giving you the option of loading the original, full resolution image from their cache with those keyboard commands. Other ISP's with a web accelerator feature use Contextual menu items, which are added to Firefox via an extension installed into Firefox.
As far as not having the option to load the full quality image when you open it in a new Tab, I have no idea why that option doesn't appear. You should contact support at your ISP to ask about that issue.

Certain psd images are saving darker as jpegs

I use Photoshop CS3.
Certain psd images are turning out darker after I save them as jpegs. The shadows are far more predominant and the images are significantly darkened. This only happens with photographs that I have edited over the past two or three days. All photographs that I have edited four days ago or more save exactly as they appear in photoshop. There is no darkening whatsoever. I can't figure out what is causing this recent batch of photographs to save differently.
Both batches are RGB 8 bits, Color Mode 3, with an ICC profile of sRGB IEC61966-2.1.
Thanks.

Is your display profiled and calibrated, and if so, what software/hardware did you do this with?
What version of Windows are you running?
It sounds as though your Windows Photo Viewer may not properly be using the document and monitor profiles to do color-management.
Windows Photo Viewer has been color-managed since at least as far back as XP SP3, but I'm wondering if your monitor profile just isn't being interpreted correctly. Perhaps it's in a format your OS software can't handle.

Printed images are pixelating

Images already printed clearly, are pixelating when I copy and then past as layers onto a new canvas.
This is a proceedure I have used many times in the past, and am quite surprised, and lost, about the reasons for it.
Any help on this question?

Hi, Trevor,
The light came on, and the problem corrected...knew it was something simple,and upon reading your response, realized that another adjustment I was using (setting the canvas size to the media size) was creating the problems with the pixels.
Thanks for your quick response.

Placed PSD files are grainy

This is a recent occurence.
I always place PSD files into InDesign docs so I can just click to edit. But recently, the images are very noisy/grainy, even though they are not in Photoshop. Print quality is terrible...these are high resolution, edited images.
When I save the PSD files as max JPGs and place them into InDesign, the images are beautiful again.
I've been doing this forever without issue. Current setup is Creative Suite Design Pro CS5.5--I also use LightRoom before exporting to Photoshop for final editing.
The images are beautiful in Photoshop, whether PSD or JPG. And half of the images on the InDesign page are PSD and they are great, too.
But a few of the PSD files are awful--when I replace them with JPGs they're fine.
Any idea what's happening? For years, this has been a tried and true workflow for me.
Thanks in advance.

I switch back and forth from high to typical. The other photos look great, as do these once I replace the psds with jpgs.

RAW Import into iPhoto 4 - are pixelated results permanent?

OK, I made a mistake. Imported photos from Nikon D100 into iPhoto 4 but didn't "recall" I had RAW quality set (usually JPEG-normal). When I did get to viewing the Import in detail, I saw to my chagrin that the images are pixelated.
Can anyone advise if the images are recoverable? (I couldn't get Nikon 5 to perform magic or Photoshop CS. I have ordered iLife 6 to upgrade iPhoto...).
Thank you in advance.

I did a search for "embedded thumbnails in Nikon RAW format" and found discussions that indicated .NEF files contain a low-resolution thumbnail. Since RAW support was probably introduced in iPhoto 5 or 6, I'm betting that iPhoto 4 is "seeing" the embedded thumbnail.
I can't confirm this since I have iPhoto 6 only but maybe you could go to the file in your iPhoto library folder and double-click it (open in Preview). If the image is of high quality, then the file was imported but iPhoto can't read the RAW part.
Also look at the size. It should be huge - maybe over 5 or 6 MB depending on the camera's megapixel rating. 3x-5x the jpeg size. If that's the case and the file extension is .nef and not .jpg, you probably have the whole file and updating to iPhoto 6 will display RAW in all its glory. If the file size is tiny (make sure you're not looking at the thumbnail file that iPhoto creates independently) then it's possible iPhoto never imported the full image.
Do you still have the photos on your card?

Old applications are pixelated when viewed on my new laptop?

Hi I've got a new MacBook Pro with retina display and I'm having issues with some older applications, such as Adobe CS5 and Microsoft office (2011) are pixelated when viewed on my new laptop. How can I fix this?

There are only a few apps that have been optimized for retina display, all other apps, including CS5 and Office are basically zoomed up to fit the 2880x1800 screen.

CS4 save for web - jpg are pixelated

Hi all,
I'm attempting to save an AI file for web use with "Save for Web & Devices" for use in a web browser. Somehow my jpgs (quality is set at maximum) are pixelated.
here's a screen grab to see how the selections are set. There are a few new fly-out menus that I don't fully understand so maybe something in there needs to be tweeked.
thanks for the help
Pierre

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
Under the Image Size tab, Anti-Alias needed to be checked.
thanks for the help Silk!

My photos are pixelated when I put them into another new document such as a photo collage. I am trying to put a regular 8x11 image into a 4x6 photo collage of two other images. All come out blurry.

I need help! I am trying to put several photos that are large size 8x11 into a small 4x6 new document photo collage. When I do my images are blurred or pixelated. Even my fonts in the new document are pixelated and my photshop brushes as well. I am a novice so I may be doing something wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have the dinosaur PSE2 but the method should be the same in 11.
Image > Resize > Image Size (the path to Image Size might be different in 11). This brings up the window:
The DPI is in the Resolution box. Enter the new value. Check the Constrain Proportions and Resample Image boxes and click OK.

Cs6 windows are pixelated

Does anyone know how to fix the cs6 program settings that are pixelated? For example, my tool bar icons are pixelated. The vector artwork in illustrator cs6 are have ragged edges. If anyone can help me with this, I'd really appreciate it.

Yep, yucky Adobe graphics on Retinas will be a persistent issue till they get their act together and put out a compatible version.
And if you add the double whammy of running VISTA ( ) with as yet inadequate drivers, I'm surprised you're able to use it at all.

Are pixels when aspect ratioed out (1.5 or 16;9) square or rectanglar?

are pixels when aspect ratioed out e.g. (1.5 or 16;9) square or rectanglar?
is the image resized or is it stretched?

DVCPRO HD is 1280x1080 for NTSC formats. I believe 23.976p is recorded as 59.94i.
I don't remember if Final Cut ships with any built-in SQ easy setups. But you can create one trivially enough, or maybe look in the Additional Easy Setups folder if you're married to using a pre-made one.

All titles are Pixelated

I am creating 3 separate dvds.... I have made the movies and spent tons of time on the titles and themes...getting them just right. When I view it in iMovie 09, it looks really clear. When I export to my MobileMe Gallery, in high resolution, the text looks beautiful. Then I exported to iDVD and burned a DVD and now the images are pixelated and so are all of the text/fonts in the titles and themes.
Please help. These projects need to look legible and I have invested so much time in this.
Any suggestions as to how to correct this? Thanks!!!

I went through share/idvd. is using the media browser going to help with the quality? I didn't know about the Project Properties. I assumed that it would make it professional quaility. I guess I should not assume.
So what is the best way to correct the issue? I will try to change to professional quality and try again. I think I was most shocked because the one on the mobileme gallery looked beautiful and then the dvd looked completely horrible.
Any other suggestions/comments are appreciated.
Thank you.
