Quality of images when Creating a Moble Me gallery

When I create a Mobile Me Gallery in Aperture with raw format image, the JPEG images Aperture is sending are very low quality (probably about a 6 or 7 on the Jpeg quality setting). I have the gallery set to allow downloading actual size.
I have previews set to quality 12 in Aperture, but it does not seem to use that value. I cannot fine any other setting for the images it exports for mobile me uploading.
So far the only way I've found around this so far is to export all the images and make a gallery with though high quality exported jpegs. This is hardly ideal...

I had the same feelings but could not find a decent solution. The MobileMe output options are not nearly as flexible as third party output plugins. Its infuriating that they wouldn't allow you to choose an output profile.
Rather than accepting the hobbled workflow you describe, I switched to flickr which is a little more fun anyway though maybe not quite as nice for a portfolio.

How can I improve quality of image when burning a movie to a DVD

How can I improve quality of image when burning a movie to a DVD?

What resolution are you using? If the DVD is to be playable on an ordinary DVD player, only ordinary TV resolution is supported. You need Blue ray for HD.

LR 2 and 2.1 Hang when creating eather a web gallery or HTML Gallery

I was hoping that LR 2.1 would fix a problem creating either a Web gallery or an HTML gallery. The program hangs after about 15 files have been added to the gallery.
Is there a configuration tweak I could make.

What system? Are previews built already.

Losing quality with images when I import them into Premiere cs5

I am creating a video using a series of stills. I originally imported them as png's. I noticed that the images where degraded when they appeared in the timeline, and thought they would come out clear and crisp when I exported. But they remained the same quality in the export as they did in the timeline. I tried replacing the png's with other files and nothing seemed to import nicely, except when I converted the png's to PSD and imported the PSD's. The PSD's looked perfect in the timeline, until I rendered the timeline. And then immediately they degraded. I tried exporting just to see if it would produce a better result and it did not. I also noticed that the titles are degraded in the export as well.
I've gone through a bunch of forums and haven't seen an answer to my issue. My guess at this point is that it was something to do with interlacing or "fields", but I honestly don't know jack about that stuff. Should I be working in a different sequence preset? If so, which would be best for importing PNG's, or PSD's (RGB) as stills?
The goal here is to fix my current sequence and improve the quality of the stills in it. I would prefer not starting over

I honestly don't know what the right export setting is, i'm just looking for something that produces a high def result. I know that my project framerate is 30 fps, so it should probably be exported for 30 fps.
Any help on this would be great. I've gone pretty much to the far corners of the internet and have found nothing of real help.

For the YouTube version, use the appropriate YouTube preset. If you have the upload bandwidth, change Target and Max from 8 to 50.
For the computer Master, you might try something lossless. I like the UT codec. (http://umezawa.dyndns.info/archive/utvideo/) It's free and works fine with Windows and Macs. The down side is that not many players can handle it, including the venerable VLC. I have to use Windows Media Player for those files.
Another option is MXF OP1a using the AVC-I 100 codec. It's not technically lossless, but it is damn close. But again, player support is somewhat limited for this format.
Of course, if you do up the bitrate to 50 in the YouTube export, that would not be a horribly copy to keep around. And it'll play in a lot more players.

How do I choose an image when creating or updating a Contact?

Hey All,
I just upgraded to Mountain Lion and I'm converting all of my contacts (from various accounts) to use the iCloud service, and all is going very well except for one small thing. When I either update or create a new contact via the Contacts application, I cannot choose a custom image to associate with a contact. The application only allows me to choose from a list of "Defaults", "Recently Used" or allows me to take a picture from my computer's camera. It seems odd that I can't simply select any image from my hard drive (or from iPhoto), but maybe I haven't set something up correctly.
The web interface for iCloud allows me to select a custom image from my hard drive so I have a work around, but its a bit clunky to do a lot of them.
Anyone else having this problem?
Thanks!!!

When you're in the contact photo edit screen, in the bottom right there is another edit button, click that and drag and drop the desired image in there, scale it as desired, save.

Dark images when creating a PDF in Frame 10

We're having an issue with dark images in the PDFs created from Framemaker files. I've been trying to solve it two different ways, but each solution seems to have it's own set of problems...
1. When we print to PDF using a .ps file generated through Acrobat Distiller, our manuals print fine, but a large majority of the graphics are coming out WAY too dark, with some details being 100% illegible.
2. I can take small documents and "Save as PDF," and the graphics come out fine. But when I try to do this with a large document (100-1,000 pages), Framemaker gives me the infamous "Framemaker has detected a serious problem and must quit" error and then crashes.
Anyone else seen this? I have the latest (I believe) 10.0.2.419 patch.

You might want to specify what kind of graphics are giving you problems.
Frame drawings or imported files? If imported, what file type? RGB or
CMYK? Any spot colors?
The best graphics are EPS because FrameMaker passes them around the
Windows GDI unchanged and EPS files can retain spot colors, too. Other
types of graphics get passed through Windows GDI and converted to RGB
where the result can sometimes be astounding. In Save as PDF, what's the
setting for "Convert CMYK colors to RGB?"
Check also "GetLibraryColorRGBFromCMYK=" in maker.ini and change it from
"Printing" to
"None". That seems to get the best results for having what you see on
screen match what ends up in the PDF.
There are also color management settings in your Distiller .joboptions
file that can affect the result. Usually, you want to set Settings>Edit
Adobe PDF Settings> Color> Color Management Policies to either "Leave
Color Unchanged" or "Tag only Images for Color Management."

Upside down images when creating a DVD

Hello,
During the course of making a DVD which is a mixture of stills & video clips I found that some of the images, in the timeline, in the available media and finally in the "Create DVD menu" screen were upside down.
This usually preceeded a "serious" error which involved the program shutting down!. Although I was able to recover the file and eventually carry on to a successful project, I have no idea what I have done to cause this annoying problem.
Has anybody any ideas?
Thanks
Jim

Hi Paul,
Yes, they are all very high resolution. I wondered if this was the problem. Oddly, it doesen't occur all the time though and sometimes changing an associated transition in Premiere has turned the image the right way up. Still, sorted now. Thanks a lot.

Quality of photo when creating a photo book from iphoto

i am in the process of creating a photo book however i am downloading pictures from facebook and i am not sure if the qulaity will be good enough for print, will i be told during this process as i havent been yet and dont want to pay for something that isnt right. thanks

There is another potential issue. While you may have enough pixels, the plain fact is that not all pixels are the same. When a photo is uploaded to Facebook they 'process' it - and in the course of that throw away about 90% of the data in the file. What that means is that a lot of the character and depth of the photo may be lost when printed. Unfortunately, this is not something that iPhoto can warn you about.

Is there any difference between these cluster images when creating a user event?

I'm sure you experts will know instantly what I'm doing wrong.
I am trying to create a user message for TestStand communication in the LabVIEW UI (based on the simple example OI that comes with TestStand)
Perhaps it's just cosmetic but the trouble is I can't get the image of my cluster constant to look the same as the one in the example.
I'm right clicking on the 'Create User Event' icon on the User Event Data Type connection and selecting Cluster - Cluster Constant, then adding a numeric constant to it.
You can see the result here. The top one is the good one from the example, and the bottom one is my attempt - but I just can't get it.
I'd appreciate your thoughts (I know the event number can't be the same - but I made it the same for the comparison). I have LabView 8.6.1.
Thanks,
Ronnie
TestStand 4.2.1, LabVIEW 2009, LabWindows/CVI 2009
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Use the color tool and right click on the lable of the numeric. I guess you will see that the Background Color of the one is black, of the other is white.
But this is really just cosmetic's of the code.

Anchoring Images When Creating EPUB

I'm taking my InDesin book into EPUB form, and the chapter numbers, titles, and icon at the start of the chapter are showing up oddly. I read a note that I can fix this in Dreamweaver, but the only tutorials I find there are for making web pages. It sounds like there used to be an option to "anchor images" during the EPUB set-up, but I'm not seeing that choice in the current version. Can you please advise or direct me to a tutorial?

Hi,
To anchor objects in InDesign, please refer following link:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/indesign/cs/using/WSa285fff53dea4f8617383751001ea8cb3f-6c43a.h tml
If images are anchored, they will appear in the EPUB after the paragraph in which they are anchored. To control the order of appearance of other objects, you can use articles panel and then choose reading order to be based on Articles Panel rather than page layout. This video will help you understand the workflow better: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-indesign-cc/the-articles-panel/
Please feel free to ask in case you are stuck up or have further queries.

How can I export Keywords when creating a Web Gallery?

I would like to include the keywords applied to an image when exporting to a Web Gallery. I have learned how to include the caption, and there's a possibility of copy and paste the keywords to the caption before export, but as you can tell, that adds unnecessary steps.
I suppose the larger question is "how do I customize the exported web gallery, and the content it includes?" but that will come next.
Big picture, I'm working on creating a searchable "proof book" and my initial thoughts are to create a custom html template which includes a Google search bar, and indexes / searches the keywords of each photo, exported to the web gallery.
Step one is to get the keywords to export ...

Right-click the page, choose View Page Info, and click the Permissions tab. There you can turn off automatic loading of images (uncheck Use default first to enable the controls). Any luck?
There might be a way to restore that more direct right-click menu item if you need it frequently, but I haven't researched it.
To clean up a page for printing, you also could consider an add-on like the following: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/print-edit/ Print Edit :: Add-ons for Firefox]. Then you wouldn't have to re-enable images each time.

How do you shuffle the image order when creating a new slideshow in apterture 3? i would like to do this automatically when creating a new slideshow. i see how you do it when you just play a slideshow.

how do you shuffle the image order when creating a new slideshow in apterture 3? i would like to do this automatically when creating a new slideshow. i see how you do it with presets when you just play a slideshow, but i don't see an option to randomly shuffle the slide order when you create a new slideshow. i know you can sort it by different fields, but i want it to be random. thanks.

If you want to rearrange images in random order you can try an AppleScript:
retrieve a list of selected images from Aperture
shuffe the list properly
create an album in Aperture and add the images from the list to the album (make sure that the album set to be orederd manually)
Here is a sample script that shuffles the selected images and displays them in random order in Full Screen Mode:
on removeItem(ims, i)
-- remove the item at position "i" from a list ims
          if ims is {} then return {}
          if (length of ims is 1) then return {}
          if i < 2 then return rest of ims
          if (i = length of ims) then return (items 1 thru (i - 1) of ims)
          if i > (length of ims) then return ims -- should be error?
          return (items 1 thru (i - 1) of ims) & (items (i + 1) thru (length of ims) of ims)
end removeItem
on shuffle_items(ims)
-- shuffle the items of the list "ims" randomly
          local numitems, ims_shuffled, nextrest, nextpick, i
          set numitems to length of ims
          if length of ims < 2 then return ims
          set ims_shuffled to {}
          set nextrest to ims
          repeat until nextrest is {}
                    set i to (random number (numitems - 1)) + 1
                    set nextpick to item i of nextrest
                    set beginning of ims_shuffled to nextpick
                    set numitems to numitems - 1
                    set nextrest to removeItem(nextrest, i)
          end repeat
          return ims_shuffled
end shuffle_items
on shuffleIms()
-- retrieve the selected images from Aperture
-- and display them in random order in full screen mode
          local imageSel, shuffled, i
          tell application "Aperture"
activate
                    set imageSel to (get selection)
                    set shuffled to my shuffle_items(imageSel)
                    set fullscreen to true
                    if imageSel is {} then error "Please select some images."
                    repeat with i from 1 to count of shuffled
                              reveal {item i of shuffled}
delay 3 -- chnage that to the time you want
                    end repeat
                    set fullscreen to false
                    return shuffled
          end tell
end shuffleIms
shuffleIms()
Some more code snippets to go from here:
To create an album:
                    tell library 1
                              if not (exists album "shuffledAlbum") then
make new album with properties {name:"shuffledAlbum", image version:shuffled}
                              end if
                    end tell
And to add the images from the shuffled list to the album:
                    repeat with i from 1 to count of shuffled
                              duplicate item i of shuffled to album "shuffledAlbum"
                    end repeat

Corrupt image formatting when creating pdf from embedded visio image in MS word

Hello, Using Adobe Acrobat 9 standard and trying to create a PDF file from an MS word (version 2003) document. PDF file created is fine except for an image (embedded visio diagram imported into word). When created in PDF, the image is missing many of the diagram labels, and other text boxes are in the wrong font and wrong location. I don't know if it's my Adobe Acrobat or MS Word settings that need to be updated.
thanks, NB

Dear fellows,
the problem is still present. My system:Windows 7 32-Bit Prof, MS Office 2010 Prof, Acrobat X Pro 10.1.1, Vision 2010 Prof, all updates installed.
Problem #1: Even the latest Acrobat X 10.1.1 version causes Visio 2010 to start with error messages, origin: the Acrobat Add-In. Therefore I de-activated the Acrobat Add-In, again, as in the past.
As I design grafics with Visio 2010, I mark them in the active Visio window, copy the marked parts and then insert them into my Word-Document. So far, so good and as I want it.
The (still present) problem: I can produce a PDF file using the "save as Adobe PDF", but the Visio drawing is incomplete and corrupt. E.g. arrows as line endings have disappeared.
PS: But using Adobes PDF printer sets the embedded Visio drawing correctly! But using the printer one looses some features of the "save as Adobe PDF" command.
Well, probably one day ...
Regards,
Rückenlehne.

Images Disappear when creating PDF

When creating a PDF out of InDesign we are having issues with images diappearig when Postscript Overprint / Overprint Preview is on. When printing images also do not show up. When viewing in Reader Images do not show up. Has anyone run into this issue, we are running CS3 & CS4. Any help will be appreciated

Most likely cause is that the images are set to non-printing in some way, either inidvidually through the Atrributes Panel, or they're on a layer that is set to non-printing.
