Really bad image quality on iPhone 6

I took a photo using my iPhone 6 of some kit that I needed to be able to identify later on. I was looking at the photo today and the fine detail is unreadable, it looks like some kind of pixelating filter has been applied to the image. Does the attached seem right? I'm viewing in Photoshop at 100%

  • Really bad image quality when burning

    Hi, i am very new at this discussion thing and am a french speaker so hope i do this ansking question ok.
    I'm having problems with image quality of my 1h46 min movie imported from imovie (initially from quicktime made from final cut pro). I am having pixelly images when camera is moving... Although have read some things about this on the forum none of the answers seem to resolve my problem.
    I have selected best quality in my prefs but with no success. I figure it's a compression / codec problem but i do not have a clue about all this technical stuff. I don't know what next move i should make.
    Thanks for any help...

    I'm using iMac G5 divided my 250 GB in 2 disks wich has 31 Go of free space on my HD at the moment. Using iDVD and i Movie 6.0.2

    Hi ! Thanx for responding...
    In FCP i did choose export DV/NTSC and imported from camera with apple firewire NTSC (720x480). Should i have imported material in (640x480/30fps/interlaced...) ?
    I have had this problem with smaller projects of 20 min of video also so i don't think it has to do with size... At the moment i am making a disc image of my dvd on my desktop hoping to burn through Toast. Otherwise i am also thinking about exporting movie from FCP to tape then importing back to iMov through camera...
    I'm kind of desperate and don't really know what to do... I'm also gonna start reading compressor 2 and maybe forget about iDVD an d just burn it through toast. Wich is kind of dissapointing cause without interface, menu and all...

  • 10.6.2: Bad image quality with SIPS

    I used to convert my PDF documents with SIPS like this:
    /usr/bin/sips --setProperty format jpeg --setProperty formatOptions high -z 400 200 sourcefilename.pdf --out targetfilename.jpg
    This results in a very bad image quality after updating to 10.6.2 (the text contained in the source pdf file is nearly unreadable in the resulting image, especially when using the -z attribute for downsizing).
    I could reconstruct this behaviour with several machines today: when using 10.6.1 the quality is fine, but after the update to 10.6.2 the resulting image quality is unacceptable.
    Any ideas? Or could this be a bug? The man page for sips does not contain any information about new parameters and the image quality for other target formats (tif, png, ...) seems to be ok.

    That picture looks like it was taken in a dimly lit room.
    You could try using night mode but you will need a very steady hand.
    Most basic phone cameras just cannot produce good pictures indoors when not in brightly lit areas.  LED flashes just cannot do a good enough job when compared to real cameras.
    Megapixels don't equal quality, it's the lens and flash that make the biggest difference.

  • Really poor image quality when watching DVDs

    Hi,
    I was just wondering whether anybody else has experienced really poor image quality whilst watching DVDs on their MacBook? For me, the image is really grainy or blurry. I am pretty sure it cannot be the DVDs as this problem is happening with every film I watch!
    Is this a common problem? What can be done (if anything) to resolve this?
    Many thanks,
    John

    Hi John,
    open system preference>display, and check if your color depth is in millions color.
    try other dvd player like VLC for mac:

    Good Luck.

  • 5800 Really Bad build quality

    Well I am now on my 3rd 5800 and they all seem to have really bad build quality.  As others have mentioned there is a big gap along one side of the phone (top right hand side running down past the volume buttons) and in the dark light leaks out through the gap
    Come on - how can anything like this be put out to the general public - this is a serious issue.  If you can get one side of the phone to close properly then why didn't you get the other side to do the same?
    As a product designer I know that during the design stage there are several prototypes made, parts checked etc - how could this be passed as ok?
    I am seriously considering ditching the 5800 all together - for something that Nokia are classing as a premium model they really need to re-consider its quality.

    This is really annoying me as well.  This phone cost me a lot of money and it's the worst build quality/design I've ever seen.
    People talk about dust getting in through the gap but what worries me is that it is much more likely to let in moisture!   I've checked with Vodafone and moisture damage is NOT covered by their warranty. So unless Nokia admit that it's a manufacturing fault you'll have to pay for the repair youself.
    Of course,
    1) If their wasn't a gap down the side of the case water wouldn't get in so it wouldn't need repairing!
    2) If the phone gets water damaged it's almost certainly going to be classified as "beyond economical repair"!
    Come on Nokia, admit it's a manufacturing fault, recall all the phones and repair them free of charge.

  • Bad image quality on stills

    I apologize if this has already been addressed somewhere, but I have searched the forums quite a bit and found nothing about this.
    I am creating a DVD for an advertising agency. One of the things they want on the disc is a section displaying print ads.
    I have created a menu with thumbnails and when you select an ad it takes you to a menu with that ad blown up to full screen.
    The problem I'm having is that the ads, even blown up to full screen, look really bad. There are jagged lines on all the edges of text and pictures and the copy just looks garbled and impossible to read.
    The ads are very large, very high resolution pdf or psd files. They look great when I view them outside of DVDSP, so the problem is not with the source files.
    On top of this, I am having the same problem with the agency's logo on the main menu. The psd file looks great in photoshop and is a very high resolution file, but in DVDSP it has jagged edges and loses color quality.
    So my question is, what do I need to do to prepare my pdf or psd images so that I can bring them into DVDSP and retain the quality of the image? Also, I have been adding them to a menu as a drop zone...is that the best way to do it?
    By the way, the problem is not with the encoding of the disc...all the menus and videos look great. It's just the still images that look bad.
    Any help would be a lifesaver.
    Thanks!

  • Brand new E7-00, wity *very* bad image quality

    Yes I did remove the protective film from the camera cover.
    And Yes, I deed clean the glass in front of the camera.
    But the 8M camera produces images worse than a 0.1 megapixel webcam!
    Is this normal? Anything I can do?
    See for a sample:

    I haven't touched any of the settings so they all are default values, but I'll list the current setting here anyway:
    (my phone switched to Dutch language, and I don't know how to revert it to EN, so I'll try to translate the entries here)
    ColorTone: Normal
    WhiteBalance: Automatic
    Lightening: 0
    ISO_A: Automatic
    Contrast: shows slider in the middle of range
    Sharpness: Normal
    Settings:
      Imagequality: 6M - 16:9
      Record Location: Yes
      Show recorded images: Yes
      ImageTone (??): Camera1 (I now tried camera1..Camera4, they all look similar)
      Use memory: E:MassStorage
    And when the camera is active, the information bar on the bottom of the screen shows the flash is set to "A", to the right of that is again an "A" (I suppose the picture type setting).
    So as far as I know, everything is set to "Automatic", "normal", or "middle of range".
    Also, I don't see a "**bleep** up image quality really bad" option, so whatever the other settings, I wouldn't expect images to be this vague...
    Any recommendations?

  • Bad image quality of slideshows

    I am a new Mac user. I am having difficulty making slideshows from the iLife version 6 software with the features that I want and decent image quality.
    I've been trying with iPhoto, iMovieHD and iDVD. I want to be able to put captions or title screens in my slideshows, so I must use either iDVD or iMovieHD. If I do not want my photos to pan and zoom, I can use iDVD. I've done this and burned the result to a DVD. When I play the DVD on my 65" wide screen high definition television, the image quality of the slideshow is not satisfactory. Diagonal lines have visible stepping. Just before a photo transitions to the next photo, there is a noticeable increase in the number of digital artifacts for about one second.
    For some slideshows, I wanted to have the pan and zoom effects, and title screens, so I used iMovieHD. When I started the project, I chose the format 1080i because that is what my high definition television can do. I realize, however, that my DVD player cannot do that resolution, so I am not sure that was the correct format to choose. I "shared" the completed slideshow movie to iDVD. When I play that slideshow, I see many digital artifacts in the images as the zoom happens. The images are not as good as looking at the original digital photos on the computer.
    Is there a way to make a slideshow on a DVD that has an image quality that matches the original digital photograph? Is it possible to use the pan and zoom effect when I wish to play a DVD slideshow on a television?
    Any help is appreciated.
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.4)   2MB memory, 15"

    I realize that I did not ask exactly the right question.
    I've made slideshows using U-lead software on my windows XP desktop machine. The image quality of those slideshows on a standard TV is better than what I can do with iDVD and iMovie. So I'm wondering is there something I need to do in iDVD that might be automatically happening in the U-lead software. Obviously, I do not expect people here to know anything about that software, but you might know of something in the iDVD software that will prevent the digital artifacts that I see when I use iDVD to make a slideshow. So far, the slideshows I've made are bordering on not watchable.

  • Bad image quality when importing from word

    When importing from MS Word 2003 to RH X5.0.2, embedded
    images are converted to jpg whith an obviously quite moderate
    compression qulity. This is particularly evident for screenshots.
    Is there a way to improve the image quality?

    Peter , these images were copied and pasted directly in to
    the Word-document (using the Print Screen button) but I did find
    out something. RoboHelp generates two image files of the types PNG
    and JPG for each Word image (named, e.g., image102.png and
    image103.jpg). Regretably, the lesser quality JPG is always
    referenced in the topics instead of the much better PNG. Sometimes
    the two images greately differ in size (pixel size), but most of
    the time they are about the same size.
    So the task might be to change the references in all topics
    using a script and then manually checking the images for their
    size.
    An observation: Any GIF images in the Word file (i.e., real
    *.gif files that were inserted over the Insert menue) remain GIF
    files after the import, they are not converted and maintain a good
    quality.

  • Really bad text quality,photoshop, is it pixel aspect ratio?

    when doing dvd's i often use psd files for menus or title boards, quite often at 16x9, now the problem lies with the quality of the text in photoshop and when transferred to dvdsp. In photoshop with a 1024 x 576 sq pixel canvas the text looks crisp and sharp, however when transferred to dvdsp the text feels like it has gone through a verticle interlace, each letter is chopped up and shifted stretched and compressed. Going back to photoshop and making a 720x 576 comp with a widescreen pixel aspect ratio seems to do the same thing but this time in photoshop aswell. The text quality problem is not the usual dvd compression issue that is frequently discussed on these boards where text looks fuzzy, this looks much worse than fuzzy or jpeggy
    Is there a standard, a combination of aspect ratio and canvas size in both photoshop and dvdsp? It is really frustrating.
    Thanks in advance
    Henry

    My issue is particular to the crossover between photoshop and dvdsp, it may also be particular to pal dvd's and relating to the pixel aspect ratio, if you try and create a 720 x 576 document in photoshop with widescreen aspect ratio turned on and try adding text you will notice the issue. This also crosses over into dvdsp no matter what i do unless the image uses square pixels in p/shop the text is awful. I was really wondering if anyone else had found a combination of setups that avoid this wierd occurance in both programs.
    The issue is not the standard 'my font looks bad on an apple display' issue which is often discussed on this forum, i understand that apple display resolutions are so far superior to standard def tv's that it is impossible to compare. The typesize on these projects are 24pt bold sans serif so well above the 18pt generally accepted standard and the canvas size is pixel perfect for pal resolution no images have been reduced or enlarged. The font looks almost illegible rather than just fuzzy.

  • Bad image quality

    Hello,
    Since i have upgrade my iphone 3GS from IOS 3 to IOS 5, all my small format images are very pixeliszed (wrong pixels displayed).
    Any ideas ?
    Thanks a lot.

    Yeah the camera isn't that good and, from my experience, Sony isn't going to do anything about it.

  • Bad image quality when connecting an external Dell 30" monitor. Why?

    I recently bought the latest Mac Book Pro Retina 15. It's running the nVidia M750 2gb card I believe.
    I'm trying to hook it up to my Dell 30" desktop monitor which runs my desktop computer perfectly well. I'm using a cheap Mini Displayport to Displayport cable which to do this. It's working except the image is slightly fuzzy, as though the resolution is just a couple pixels off native res. Could it be the cable being cheap? (I couldn't find proper ones when I bought this one) Or should I be connecting the screen via a different method? I obviously need the full 2560 x 1600 resolution.
    Thanks,
    Simon

    Sure.
    Here are the specs on a Moshi Mini DP to HDMI Adapter
    You can see Supports full HD display at 1080p (1920 x 1080).
    So no go there...
    Altaz Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort Adapter for Apple MacBook
    So that would work for you. Review on link:
    I recently bought one of these to try out with an Apple unibody (late 2008) MacBook Pro and a Dell 3008WFP 30" display.
    Dell's web site advertised the 3008WFP as requiring Dual Link DVI to work at full resolution (which is certainly partly true, as normal DVI can't drive 2560x1600 displays). Given that DisplayPort is rated up to 2560x1600 I was hoping that this adapter would allow my MBP to drive the display at full resolution without requiring Apple's MiniDisplayPort to Dual Link DVI converter.
    It works flawlessly for me.
    So make sure you look for a cable that is rated above 1920 x 1200.
    There are some examples here: http://daggle.com/macbook-run-2560-1440-monitor-2324

  • Bad video quality from iPhone videos on PC?

    Hello all,
    I have been experiencing a fairly annoying problem.  I have a small library of videos taken on my iPhone 4S (iOS 5) which have been transferred to my PC (Windows 7).  I realize that these are .MOV files and Windows Media Player will not play them, but even the most up-to-date version of quicktime plays these videos very choppy.  What gives?  Is there another media player I can use to view these, or do I have to convert all of them?

    After some googling Ive read that this is an issue others are having since they upgraded to IOS6, apparently videos played fine in 5.
    Is there a way to undo the IOS6 update and restore the phone back to IOS5?

  • Really bad video quality on my Samsung D series 79...

    Hi,
    I recently got a web camera for my Samsung D series 7900 LED TV.  I bought the newer VG-STC2000 camera to enable skype.  The good news is the camera seems to work good.  My macbook air which is receiving the video from the camera shows it very well.  (occasional skips and jumps, but nothing too horrible).  The problem is the video that is being received by the television.  While I've verified through computer clients that I can receive video on my home network quite well on a home desktop machine, the skype client on the TV seems to have a lot of trouble rendering a picture about 80% of the time.  I get garbled pictures.  It's almost as if the buffer in the Samsung can't keep up or can't handle network jitter.  
    here's a sample of what the TV picture looks like most of the time.  
    http://www.freeimagehosting.net/tqchb
    Areas of movement get distorted.  Any ideas on how to fix it?  Is it a problem with the Skype software?  My network settings?  (I have 30 Mbits down and 5 Mbits up at home through Time Warner Cable).  I have no packet loss, but moderate amounts of jitter when I measure my network with a speed test / voip simulator.

    It's 100% reproducable.  It happens typically a minute or two into the call.  If the caller turns the camera off and then back on, the image clears up and then in a minute or two degrades again.  But it happens on every call.
    Primary caller has been a Mac (using a macbook air with the built in facetime camera).  Skype version 5.8.0.1027.  The Mac has little trouble viewing the image from the samsung camera.  It skips every now and then, but quickly recovers and the audio has no problems.
    I've replicated the error from the mac laptop with the laptop connected to my home network (the same network as the Samsung TV).  Only other variable is that the samsung tv is connected through wifi, but I've seen other complaints that say that hard wiring the tv doesn't seemt to fix it.
    The network speed of the mac typically is over corporate lan speeds (can transfer a 6 gig file in about an hour).

  • MBP Retina: Poor image quality from hdmi output

    I just had to return a Macbook Pro 13" because of this problem. I was using a HP 2311 HDMI monitor. At first, the screen would only show the upper half of the dock. I was on the phone with Apple Care and they suggested I use underscan. It worked, in that it corrected the screen size problem, but the image quality, especially rating to text was ridiculously poor. There was no suggestion available as to how to fix this. Yet, in display it says that the display is optimized for the HP 2011.
    I must say I was really surprised about this defect. I was even more surprised that the problem has been around so long without a resolution. There is no doubt that this shakes my confidence in Apple products. Thankfully, my iPad, iPod and Apple TV have always been reliable.

    I've now tested with the following cables/adapters between my rMBP -> Dell U2410:
    mDP -> VGA
    mDP -> DVI
    mDP -> HDMI
    HDMI -> HDMI
    HDMI -> DP
    None of them work. Some people are reporting *minor* differences when switching from HDMI to DVI, but I think that's mainly psychological persuasion. In my experience nothing helps - fonts are still blurry, bad image quality. I've taken still photos with a Cannon DSLR to compare the pixels - no difference.
    Someone also reported on other threads that lowering the Dell U2410's sharpness "solves" the problem, I find this to be untrue and a "fool's solution". Fonts do look sharper, but everything else looks horrible.
    My understanding is that this is related to rMBP and/or Mountain Lion external display drivers. Hopefully this can be addressed with a software update. I really hope Apple is aware of this issue (many have filed bug reports).
