Quality of photo

Is there a way to adjust the quality of Photos on a IPhone 4? The pictures I take are sharp but their size is less then 2.5 Mb's

The size of the image file is irrelevant. It is a JPEG, which is compressed. You should be able to enlarge to 8x10" and still have sharp photos.

Photo Quality - Shared Photo Streams

Is there any method of changing the quality of photos within shared Photo Streams?
For example, there's a massive drop from 8MP to 3.1MP for photos taken with an iPhone 4S then added to a shared Photo Stream. This makes it pretty much useless if I want to easily share original quality photos with other family members.

Photos stored in 'Photo Stream' are uploaded to the server with the original photo quality (Apple: "On your Mac or PC, your photos are downloaded and stored in full resolution. On your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple TV, your Photo Stream photos are delivered in a device-optimized resolution that speeds downloads and saves storage space.")
When you access the photo stream with a Mac/PC, the photos will be at the same original quality, but on a device like the iPhone 3GS, however, the photos will be at a 'device optimized' resolution. So if you access the photo stream with an iPhone 3GS the photos will be a lower quality, but the photos on the server will still be at the original quality, which means you can retrieve the full quality photos if you have a Mac/PC.
With shared photo streams, however, the situation is a bit different. Apple states that "Shared Photo Streams deliver photos in a device-optimized resolution that speeds upload and downloads and saves storage space", and therefore the photos are not uploaded to the server in the original resolution.

Why would I want to change JPEG quality of photos when exporting them from iPhoto?

Why would I want to change JPEG quality of photos when exporting them from iPhoto? Changing the quality of the print changes the size of the saved file and thus impacts the speed at which it is moved on the internet. But other than size of the file, what is the advantage of changing the quality?

I have no idea why you would want to do anything
Some people want lower quality to reduce file size for different reasons
It is an option - if you do pot want to do that do not use that option

Quality of photos BAD in iDvd5- is iDvd 6 any better? Jaggies, blurring...

I've found that the quality of photos is BAD in iDvd5- and I want to know is iDvd 6 any better? Jaggies, blurring, pixelation... nothing NEAR the quality of the original photos. I've read a bunch of old posts on this topic, and I know I can't expect pristine quality from my 10 megapixel camera files, but I CAN expect something better than the crap I'm getting out of iDVD. The slideshows I'm getting in iMovie are great, I just can't burn to DVD for clients. I've tried making them in iMovie but I have the same problem- plus I'd like to bypass iMovie altogether as all my images are stills, no video (for this project anyway).
I've tried everything other people have recommended- saving to quicktime and then importing or dragging into iDvd, applying ken burns first so it won't render, changing the quality settings... anything that anyone has said might help. Still getting crappy DVDs. I think I've wasted about 20 DVDs by now.
I'll buy the new iLife pack if iDvd 6 is any better (currently running iDvd5). I'm hearing that this is apple's problem, not ours, and none of the fixes I've been trying are working. If I can't find a solution soon I'm going to have to buy some non-apple software.

Your expectations are probably too high for what can be achieved usinmg today's DVD technology. Read Preparing images for DVD slideshows at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/6.0/en/17.html for information about image size requirements for iDVD. 'Throwing' to large a file at iDVD can actually make the final image quality poorer that using a smaller image size as recommended in the article because of QuickTime resizing issues.
Today's NTSC DVDs are less than 640x480 pixels. That's all you get. Period.
Roxio's Toast Titanium 8 offers a photo disc option that produces an auto running slideshow in XP machine and only requires a double-click to run under Mac OS 10.4. This approach puts your full res images on the disc which are then available to anyone who has the disc. Since this approach is COMPUTER based and NOT DVD based, image quality on a computer screen is very good.
I have recently put together several large slideshows with FotoMagico. The default setting was less than optimum, put with a little playing around I was able to produce DV movies with excellent image quality. After iDVD compression, the image quality was better than I could get with a slideshow created in iDVD directly. Image sharpness was good. However, it is still only 640x480 resolution and thus hardly high resolution.
It would be possible to put the DV movies I created in FotoMagico on a DVD data disc. I suspect users would have to then copy the DV movie to their hard drive in order to get a high enough data rate for good playback.
Bottom line: for maximum image quality on playback stay away from creating a video DVD and use Toast 8 to create a photo disc that is played back on a computer.
If you need a video DVD, FotoMagico (or Photo to Movie) will probably give you better slideshow image quality than iDVD. But 640x480 is still only 640x480!

If you want to remove the movies & videos from your iPod Nano in order to transfer to your computer, connect your iPod Nano to your computer. Double click your iPod Nano icon. Double click the DCIM folder. Your recorded video content will be in your DCIM folder. Drag the video content onto your desktop & place them where you want.

Lost quality in photo gallery

Suddenly, the quality of the photos in my photo gallery went from great to really bad. Does anyone know why?

If for the photos transferred from your computer, under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, deselect Sync Photos followed by selecting Apply followed by a sync. This will remove all photos from your iPhone with a warning message provided indicating this will occur.
Follow this by reselecting Sync Photos and the photos you want transferred to your iPhone followed by a sync to re-transfer the photos to your iPhone to see if this makes any difference.

Mid 2009 13" MBP iSight camera bad picture quality in photo booth

My daughter's stock mid 2009 13" MBP 2.26 ghz intel core two duo has a problem with the isight camera. The isight camera is built in to the screen. The isight camera works some of the time flawlessly and other times it comes out real grainy and with small colored pixels all over the screen like colored static (about 20% to 30% of the photo booth screen is affected but the rest of the screen outside of the photo booth app is unaffected). She only uses it in photo booth but we've tried the iChat app and the same thing happens there too, once she couldn't get the MBP to connect to the isight camera (it just showed a black photo booth screen), so she closed the lid of her MBP and reopened it and it worked. All of the software and firmware is up to date and we've tried resetting the PRAM and the SMC, it didn't do anything to fix the problem. It seems like there's a wire loose in the computer from the screen to the computer base, only because I can move the screen back and forth and the picture quality changes, the amount of static on the picture will move, go away or get worse. I had the screen changed in early 2010 (January or February) (the MBP was about 5 or 6 months old then) at the apple store under warranty due to dirt under the screen's glass (manufacturing defect). The photo booth picture static problem comes and goes, but here lately it comes more than it goes. The screen in general is in good shape and doesn't have any detectable problems with it, it has a good picture and no dead pixels, the problem seems to be only isolated to the isight camera. Can some one help with this problem? How long of a warranty is given on the warranty repairs (like the screen change they did in early 2010)? If apple does a repair on it and finds a wire that has rubbed the insulation off of it on a hinge causing a short and the isight problem, as a result of a sloppy repair from the first warranty repair, will they cover it under warranty again even if it's been over a year since they changed the screen? Also how honest will apple be if they do find out it is a problem caused from the first screen replacement, will they own up to their mistake? If I don't agree with apple's repair decision, can I get a second opinion from an outside source, third party, and if it's diagnosis different than apple's and can be proven, can I still get apple to do and pay for the repairs and labor if it turns out to be their fault from the first warranty screen replacement?
The reason why I'm asking is, I took my wife's white macbook in about a year ago for the famous cracked top cover replacement (under warranty) and when I got the computer back, the isight camera didn't work, so I gave it back, they took it apart a look at it and said there was nothing wrong with it and gave it back, then the screen wouldn't come on so after 4 hours at the Apple store they decided to send it to Austin, TX. for repairs (I'm in Ft. Worth TX.). Apple in Austin said it needed a new main board. They said the old one had water damage to it. We never had water anywhere near the computer, not even in the same room. It was working fine when we took it in, we took it in just to get the plastic top case, that cracks all of the time, replaced under warranty. And then they wanted us to pay for an $800 main board because some how while they were doing the top cover replacement it got water damaged. I argued with them and they finally gave me a one-time offer of them paying for half of the repair and labor or if I disagreed or left the store I would have to pay the whole amount if I chose to have the repairs done. So I ended up having to pay $467 for a year old macbook main board that was water damaged in their possession during their repairs. I like Apple and their products but I am worried about giving my daughter's MBP over to them for repairs because of this incident, it's an honesty issue with how honest they will be with what they find because they won't give back the old parts for analysis by a third party to verify their diagnosis.
Thanks for any info and advice anyone can give.

Hi,
As a personal note I find long posts like this hard to read if they are not broken up in to paragraphs.
As I say it is a personal thing.
I can give you some information about the camera and laptops over the past few years.
Basically in early Laptops of the MacBook Pro and MacBook range the cable did tend to fray at the point where it passed through the hinge. It did take a well used laptop that had the lid open and closed frequently to cause this. (your 2009 model might just be in that group - I have no firm dates or models I am afraid)
Later models have this rerouted so that this does not happen.
However the cable has then tended to get pulled from the camera end and become loose.
This On Line Self fix site has pages about some models (The one I have linked to may not be yours)
I have linked in to later pictures in the sequence but there are navigation points to work back to the start.
Note:- they use pretty specifc specialest tools as well in these pics.
Doing this would certail Void any Warranty you have left.
From Posts mainly in the iChat and the iSight areas I have gathered that it seems common for Apple to replace the Screen as a whole rather than fiddle with getting solely at the camera.
Apple has this article on Trouble Shooting an iSight
Basically it says try several apps then try logging in on another Mac User account to see if it is App based or User based or in fact System wide.
If System wide then resetting the SMC/PMU is the only suggested fix. (Which I did read you had done)
In addition to that I would add that testing should be done in different lighting conditions.
Lighting in the evening or dark that is good enough to read buy is not always good enough for the camera or is not illuminating the right areas.
Some people have reported that Starting the computer in Safe Mode (then Rebooting afterwards) seems to help. (it clears out some caches and starts up with reduced extensions)
As to actual Repairs and any Warranty that may still be in place I cannot say.
I can say that when people post about problems with repairs a certain stores someone else will tend to post that their experience was different.
You seem to report two different experiences with the two computers yourself.

Quality of photo's in iMovie iOS

I have started to use iMovie for the ipad 2. When I import photo's into the movie I have noticed a considerable loss in quality. When I look at the same image in the photos app, the quality is perfect. Why is this?

The photos has to be shrunk to fit the 1280 x 720 frame size of video in iMovie.
Also it may be not totally rendered in the timeline.
It should look better in the final output.
But photos will always look better at full resolution then when they are shrunk and compressed as video.
There is no fix to this.
You want high quality photos, then use photos. You want video, then photos will be resized.

Video Quality and Photo Quality HORRIBLE

I've looked all over the forums here and the only problem people seem to consistently harp on is the sluggishness/bugginess of the App. OK. I agree... BUT...
HAS ANYONE NOTICED THE QUALITY OF YOUR iMovie's IS NOW WORSE THAN 5?!
This is ridiculous! I cut two IDENTICAL movies and showed my friends and they could see it clear as daylight. One of them asked me if I encoded it using Real PLayer, posted it on a website, downloaded it, opened it in Mindows Media because THAT'S HOW AWFUL IT LOOKED.
A sluggish program is one thing, BUT MESSING WITH THE QUALITY OF MY MOVIE IS ANOTHER. This is the same kind of crap they did with lowering the resolution on iPhoto BOOKS that you order. WHAT?!
You get a little market share, Apple, and suddenly I'm chopped liver?!
GET TO WORK. THIS APP IS AWFUL.
My question: is anyone else having this "quality" issue? NOT the sluggishness, whatever, that is a problem, BUT MESSING WITH THE REZ OF MY PROJECTS?! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

I don't understand how you are importing your photos
into iMovie. Are you selecting File>Import? Because
I don't see where you can select any photo settings
related to KB when the import is done that way.
The solution isn't obvious, but it's pretty simple after you've discovered it.
When using the File > Import command to import a photo, you want to first configure the settings in the Photo Settings window. Do it before importing the image. Normally it is done by selecting a photo in the Media > Photos tab, pressing Show Photo Settings and configuring the import settings. Then import the photo(s) you want using one of the many import methods supported by iMovie.
(If you have no photo in iPhoto to click on in the Photos tab, first import any photo to the Timeline, select the imported clip, open the Media>Photos tab, open the Photo Settings window, configure new settings, then Update the clip. The updated settings will become the default import settings for your next import(s).)
Note that the current settings of the Photo Settings window apply to all future imports until you change the settings or click on a clip imported with different settings.
One of iMovie's most convenient features is that clicking on a previously-imported photo clip automatically applies its import settings to subsequent imports — it configures the Photo Settings window. This allows you to select any clip that has the settings you want to apply those settings to subsequent imports. In fact, you can create a "stable" of clips that use a variety of import settings, then click on the clip you want to be the pattern for your upcoming photo imports.
I have yet to be asked about rendering.
iMovie will ask when you share the project with iDVD or other destination, not before. That's when you need to refuse permission to render. It only asks if photos were previously imported with the Ken Burns checkbox off.

How do I fix quality of photos in iMovie from iPhoto?

I am a first time poster here and I'm not very technical with computers but if someone could please explain this to me simply I'd be very appreciative. When trying to make a slideshow from pictures I took, with all the effects and such in iMovie, I'm trying to use pictures that I have in iphoto but they turn out to be not the quality that they appear in iphoto. I use an Olympus C-720 digital camera if that helps. They appear clear in iphoto and once in imovie they are "pixely" and look like when you take a small picture and try and blow it up a lot. Is there an easy way to make it so the pictures are the original quality? I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.

Hi Monty:
Welcome to the iMovie forum.
When you import your photos into an iMovie project set up for standard NTSC video, the resolution is roughly 640 x 480, in most cases much less resolution than your camera took the image and as displayed in iPhoto.
The imported images can look even worse than the 640 x 480 resolution depending on your playback preview settings, however, the images should look just fine on a TV.
Is your project standard video or HD?
Cheers,
David

How do you get professional quality digital photos????

You open a magazine or look online and you'll see celebrity pictures that look crystal clear. How does a consumer get this quality?? Is it the camera?? I plan on buying a new camera soon, a Canon with a Digic II processor, but I want my pictures to look like its from the AP.
Home pictures that are crystal clear still don't look like AP photos. There's just something that looks different - better, and I can't distinct what it is. Does anyone know what I mean? Thanks!

Depending on what you are looking at ... here is a brief answer to your question.
1. Use a Professional or "pro-sumer" digital SLR camera ( $ 1000-2000 for the camera body alone)
2. Use professional quality lenses ( usually $ 600 - $1500 for one lens, typically)
3. Use Professional quality studio lighting ( for a basic studio quality lighting set up can run anywhere from $1500 - $ 5000)
4. Do editing and retouching in photoshop.
5. Have the knowledge to do all this, and understand photography and lighting techniques.
So if you have the $$ and the knowledge and the right equipment, your pics will have that same look.

Poor quality downloaded photos

Hi all,
Can anyone explain me why photo's taken with my N96 look good as thumbnails in any viewer - I have tried several to see if the difference is caused by that ( Windows Picture Viewer, Visere, Irfanview etc) - but come out very lousy when enlarged? Colors especially are muddied and there are bands on them with the top looking normal, then blue and yellow and green horizontal areas running across them
Frustrating to not see them correctly and some are of very happy meetings that I want to share normally with beloveds.
Hope someone can help!!
I have added one example.
kr, marc

Dude, the total lack of color in the bottom part is definitely not due to loss of quality. It's some problem either with the matrix of the camera or a software problem. If video shooting is fine, then the problem is with the image processing of the OS. Backup everything and go directly to the repair shop (or try hard reset first)...

Quality of Photo on Book Cover Poor

I just received my book created in iPhoto '08. I am very happy with the quality of the photos in the book. Nearly what I see on the monitor. However, the quality of the cover is poor. The pictures on the front, back, and insets are dark, muddy, and off color. Has anyone else experience this? This is disappointing because the front photo is exciting, colorful, and I was hoping would make a person want to pick the book up and look at it. Has anyone had them redo the cover? Thanks for your help.

BS"D
Just came home to find the identical issue with my dust cover, also created with iPhoto '08 and just ordered/received a few days ago. I completely agree that the dust cover is a critical part of the success of this photobook. My prior order was with Blurb and was superb, and THE reason I used them was because they had a dust cover at the time and Apple did not offer that. Now taht Apple offered a dust cover I tried them as I wanted to give Apple the business. The same exact photo is used IN the book and is perfect, but on the cover it is exceedingly dark and another photo on the inner back sleeve of the dust cover is literally unrecognizably dark.
I have written in to customer support at Apple this evening regarding this and have requested that the dust cover be reprinted with the correct exposure as used within the book itself. Hope to hear from them shortly.

Does the number of photos stored on the Ipod touch affect the quality of photos

My IPod touch had started out taking great photos, but over time I ended up storing well over 500 photos on it. Recently I noticed that my new photos are of very poor quality (fuzzy) could this be due to the volume of photos stored. I can easily delete them, but would like advice if my photo qulity is affected by storing too many photos in the device.
Another photo question. ONce a photo is deleted, is it truly gone, r can it be retrieved?
Thanks!

" Recently I noticed that my new photos are of very poor quality (fuzzy) could this be due to the volume of photos stored."
No.
"ONce a photo is deleted, is it truly gone, r can it be retrieved?"
it is gone. Unless you had syncd while the photos was on the ipod. The you coudl restore form backup.
Why do you keepo so many pics in the camera roll? You should be importing these pics regulalry to your computer, as you would with any digital camera.

Will the iPhone case affects the camera and quality of photos?

I really want to know if the case in the iPhones might affect the quality of the photo. Thus, what is the best case that suits best for the iPhone 5s?

no they will not its about how you take photo and sometimes low lighting can also be the problem andd theres really no best case but my oppion is the best cases are the thick rubber cases so it will stick to your pants if your lets say sitting down and the thickness will add protection to falls
