Quality of the Photo prints

How good is the on line photo prints that Aperture provides ??
Is it for pro printing?
or is like Iphoto?
Thanks

We ordered an iPhoto book 2 years ago and hated the quality. That was with a little point and shoot Sony 3Mp. Now with our Nikon D70 (6Mp) and RAW files plus the 300 dpi of Aperture books I can say we are thrilled with the quality in both our Apple prints and books. We cropped a picture from the D70 and ordered a 8x10 and it came out great.
Some pictures in our book were dark but that was our fault for not correcting it as it was dark in Aperture too. The one click exposure correction is not availible when using JPG's by the way.

  • The photo print quality from my Mac to my Epson Artisan 810 is poor.  When I take the same photo files (JPEGs) to my PC to print to the same printer without even uploading them to the PC, they print brighter and crisper from my PC.

    The photo print quality from my Mac to my Epson Artisan 810 is poor.  I just purchased my iMac for my photography business in Jan. (this is my first Mac).  When I first tried printing, I noticed the quality wasn't as good as I expected it to be.  Then, I had to print 4-3.5x5s on a sheet, so I e-mailed the image to myself and opened it on my PC to print it (much easier to print that way on PC in Windows Photo Gallery - I think it's impossible to print that way in iPhoto).  That's when I first noticed that when I take the same photo files (JPEGs) to my PC to print to the same printer without even uploading them to the PC, they print brighter and crisper from my PC.
    I've already been on the phone and e-mail w/Applecare many times over this issue. We've tried creating a test user and printing from there, and we've tried reinstalling the OS.  I've tried printing from iPhoto, ImageCapture, and Preview apps/utilities, all w/the same result - no comparison to the PC-printed versions (no enhancements have been performed on the PC).
    I'm out of ideas, and so is Applecare.  They say it's most likely a driver issue b/c the printer is outdated, and that the only solution is to buy a new printer.  BUT it is a pain for me to purchase a new printer - it takes days of research due to the nature of my business and the fact that I need a printer that can print directly onto a disc.  I love this printer and don't want to have to buy a new one if I don't have to.

    Yes.  I've checked for updates, and the driver I installed is the same as the one on Epson's website.  I also spoke with Epson Customer Service, which was a dead end.  Apple says the problem is due to an Epson driver issue (blaming Epson), but Epson says that with the older printers, it's actually Apple who creates the driver, so the problem is actually with Apple.  Typical he-said, she-said...

  • When I print a photo to my epson printer, it comes out larger than the original photo - so the photo prints beyond the borders. Tried readjusting all sorts of things but nothing helps. I had this same problem with my Canon. any ideas?

  • The photos printed in my iphoto '11 book have come out fuzzy?

    The photos printed in my iphoto '11 book have come out fuzzy. they were fine the first time i had them printed, why have they come out fuzzy second time?
    I printed a book for a relative a couple of years ago to celebrate his 21st. then this year his younger brother also turned 21, I printed a new photo memory book and used some of the photos in his older brothers book in this new one. Those photos that were used in both books came out fuzzy in the second one when they were fine in the first one. Why could this be and can it be rectified?

    Did you use different versions of the photos or different sizes? Have you now used a different iPhoto version? The book templates changed between the versions.
    Compare the printed book to the PDF preview of your book. The printed book should look exactly as the preview, see:   iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture
    If you want to return the book for a refund, use the "Report a problem" link on your email receipt.

  • I've exported my pages graphics document as a PDF file and can't seem to reduce the file size without compromising the quality of the photo's used even after choosing "best" quality.  I'm trying to send the file via e-mail but it's too big.  ??????

    I am trying to e-mail a graphics pages document I made as a PDF file.  After trying to resize the file, the photo's quality is compromised (really blurry) even after choosing "Best" quality.  What am I doing wrong.  As a regular full sized file (PDF) it's fine, but when it gets reduced, it's bad and it needs to get printed from the e-mail copy I'm trying to send.  HELP! Please.

    If there are a lot and/or large images the file will inevitably be large, no matter what.
    You can reduce them down as far as possible by cropping and scaling them to the final size before creating the pdf. You can do this by opening the images in Preview .app and using Menu > Tools to reduce the resolution and to crop.
    If you have used transparency effects eg shadow, reflection, transparency, 3D charts, OSX will by default render these at 72dpi in the pdf.

  • Why do my photos get blurry when they are enlarged to full screen from the disc I burn, or played on the t.v.?  I set the burn on the highest quality.  The photos don't look blurry when enlarged from iphoto on the computer.

    Why do my photos that are transferred from iphoto to idvd, and then burned on DVD, look blurry when the idvd is shown full screen on computer or on t.v.  They don't look blurry when I enlarge the iphoto pics on the computer.  I used the 'prof. quality" encoding setting before burning, and before putting photos on idvd.

    Hi
    DVD is as standard - only interlaced SD-Video (as on old CRT-TVs) and can never be any better than this.
    This is less than a quarter of Your Mac screen resolution.
    That's one part of Why You can see High res. on Your Mac - and not on DVD.
    Next part is what program is used to make the SlideShow.
    If You use iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 - to make it - it too degrades the final result as non of them can deliver interlaced SD-Video to iDVD but only half (every second line in the picture)
    I use
    • iMovie HD6 or
    • FinalCut (any version) or
    • FotoMagico™
    As they all delivers 100% of what iDVD or Toast™ or DVD Studio Pro or Whatever needs.

  • In PE11 the quality of the photos in the slide show are inferior to those in the catalogue.  Why?

    I have been on the phone for a few hours to Adobe but they are stil investigating.  When I produce a slide show using Elements 11 the pictures are no way near as clear as they appear in the folders.  I just want to show my pictures without them looking like crap.  They were taken using the highest quality photo on the camera, which is a new Nikon and look great when viewing through Elements Organiser.  They also look amazing in the original source, eg My Pictures files.  When making slide show it asks the quality and I select high.
    Does anyone else have a problem Or better still a solution????
    Driving me nuts so any help appreciated.

    DVD Standards are 720 x 480 NTSC, 720 x 576 PAL. So it doesn't matter how good the resolution is in your original images when you burn to DVD those resolutions will be reduced to one of the above.
    So I suggest you follow the instructions earlier for File> Process Multiple Files and reduce the size in PSE to 720 x 576 (as you wanted a PAL DVD) and then create your slide show for further editing in PRE.
    The reason for this suggestion is that it is generally considered in the PRE Community forum that PRE has a cruder image resizing algorithm than PSE.
    If you think you may want to do Pan & Zoom on some of your images resize them to say 1000 pixels wide (with constrain proportions set).

  • Best color photo printer?

    I was wondering if anybody has some suggestions as to what the best color photo printer out there is...I am going to be printing 8 X 10 color photos, and the only consideration that really matters to me is the quality of the photo prints themselves...I don't need bells and whistles like printing on CD's or oversize paper, and speed doesn't really matter either...all I'm concerned about is just getting the best possible quality color prints. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Hi, Dana. Epson and Canon make a number of inkjet photo printers that are well worth considering, and nearly all professional photographers use one make or the other (or both). But you aren't looking for a professional-level printer, in all likelihood: I suspect you're looking for something in the $70-$300 range, yes?
    A concern you haven't mentioned and may not have thought about is the permanence of the prints you make: none of the inexpensive printers will make prints that will retain their original quality more than a few years if kept out of the sun, or more than a few weeks or months in sunlight. There are a number of different ink types available, mostly for use in certain printer models and not in others, with different longevity characteristics — and each ink will also have diffferent longevities when applied to different print papers, of which there are now a vast array to choose from. So go to Epson's and Canon's web sites and read about their products.
    I would avoid HP's offerings if I were you. HP does not understand the Mac and never has, no matter what its literature says, and its printers have nothing to offer that Epson and Canon can't beat. Lexmark, Brother, and the others you may see advertised are mere also-rans as far as photo printing is concerned.

  • For the life of me, I can't find out what size a photo is in terms of inches or how to change the size of the photo[s] so I can print them. I think I read somewhere to click edit, then click adjust. Nothing there about sizing.

    For the life of me, I can't find out what size a photo is in terms of inches or how to change the size of the photo[s] so I can print them. I think I read somewhere to click edit, then click adjust. I don't see anything about re-sizing when I click the adjust tab: only saturation and tint levels. Thank you.

    With respect to digital images, there really is no size in inches. The size is given as number of pixels horizontally and vertically. In iPhoto '09 you click the little "i" inthe lower right side of the window and it will display information related to the selected photo, including the pixel dimensions. I do not have iPhoto '11 installed so I don't know if it is the same there.
    In some applications, such as preview, it has something additional called Dots per Inch (DPI) which you would think would allow you to convert the pixel dimensions to inches. It is not a real thing, though. The DPI is determined by how large or small you have chosen to print your photo and the capabilities of your printer. 
    There is also something called Aspect Ratio, which is usually expressed in inches x inches such as 6x9 but that doesn't mean the size on the screen or when printed is 6x9.  It is the ratio of the pixel dimensions.  When cropping your photos, you will have several standard aspect ratios to choose from plus any custom ones you create.
    In iPhoto '09, after you choose Print, in the Print Setting window are the settings for the size you want the photo printed. You want to shoose a setting with the same aspect ratio of your photo. Otherwise, iPhoto will resize and/or crop your photo to fit the size you have chosen. 

  • How can I retain the original quality of a photo when sending it by email.At the moment if I drag them in to the email from iphoto the image quality reduces.

    When I add photos to an email by dragging them in from iphoto the quality of the photos reduce.
    How can I retain the original quality.
    Philip

    When I add photos to an email by dragging them in from iphoto the quality of the photos reduce.
    Philip, dragging from iPhoto will export previews of the image, not the original high resolution image. To export higher quality versions from iPhoto don't drag, but use "File > Export"
    You can also mail your photo directly from within iPhoto using "Share > Email" and set the "Size" to "Actual Size (Full Quality)"

    These are the Macintosh instructions but the steps to prepare the photo print are the same but they are steps you would do on Windows just ignore the instructions.

  • When printing from Iphoto the photo is cropped at the top

    When printing from Iphoto, the image is not the same size as in Iphoto.  The top of the photo is always lost.
    If I copy the image to preview and thence to Word the photo prints in full.....  Why?

    Because you are printing a different size than the image - you give no details so one can only provide generalities
    If you have an image that is 4:3 in dimensions and print it as an 8x10 image something has to give - it is the top or side of the image
    Crop to the dimensions of the print - and you will lose nothing

  • My problem using iPhoto Having the horizontal lines going through the  photo when printing of a website

    My problem is using the I Photo and printing a picture with horizontal lines going through it

    Your topic title and topic content are a bit confusing?  Are you printing a website page? That would be thru Safari or other browser. 
    Or is a photo from a website?  If so how was it imported into iPhoto?
    Also what system and iPhoto version are your running?
    Does the photo print correctly from Preview or other application?
    What's the pixel dimensions of the image?
    How much free space do you have on your boot drive?
