Relpicating without losing resolution

I've got a layer that I am replicating, and I need to zoom in to one element.
I am losing resolution when it's replicated and I'm not sure if there's a way around it.
It's better to take the source cell at 100%, and replicate, then scale down the relpicator cell RATHER than scaling the source cell, replicating.
However, rather than pixelating it just gets blurry.
I've tested the original cell element by itself and before replicating I can zoom into the layer and it stays perfectly clear, no pixellation/no blur.
Anyone know a way around this, or does the replicator need to downsample the source no matter what.

Hope I can help you on this one Adam. - If you replicate a JPEG or a Quicktime movie, the resolution of the Replicator Cell is fixed by the source and it shouldn't be any better or worse than looking at the source layer before replicating it. Text, vector graphics, PDF sources is a different story. Even though they are resolution independent, they still get the resolution fixed in the replicator. But there is a way to solve this. If your source is the Text tool or Motion Shapes etc. *go to the Inspector, Replicator tab and check the 3D button*. If you are replicating a PDF or illustrator file: *In the project pane, Media tab and highlight your source. Now go to Inspector, Media tab and either uncheck fixed resolution or make the resolution higher until you'r satisfied*, but not higher than your graphics card can manage. That should sove it. And it also makes a difference if you change the RENDER QUALITY.

    How do I import images from my hard drive without losing resolution? My original files after import are significantly smaller. What should I do?

    Hi Keith, and all others chiming in, I do have the correct option checked in advanced settings telling iPhoto to copy the images into the library. What is a refernced library? Perhaps this is where I am getting confused. I exported my entire photo library from an old iMac5 to my external hard drive, from there I attempted to import the entire library to my new iMac. Am I overlooking an obvious and easy way to import from the hard drive to the new iMac--I dragged the entire photo pholder from the hard drive to the open window of iPhoto on the new computer. Now, I only get preview file sizes in iPhoto, unless I have my external drive open. Perhaps I need to import the original images from the hard drive in a different way...?! (This is making me feel pretty stupid.)

    How can I resize an image without losing resolution or using the crop tool? I am using Photoshop Elements 13 on a PC.

    Hi Peru Bob,
    I've tried two images, the results were:
    Image 1
    Jpg, original file size 923KB, dimensions 848px x 279px.
    After resizing to 848px x 180px with 72dpi, the file size decreased to 164KB.
    Image 2
    Jpg, original file size 809KB, dimensions 1200px x 1800px.
    After resizing to 668px x 722px with 72dpi, the file size decreased to 307KB.
    So, there seems to be a fair file size loss - is this to be expected?

  • How to increase the image size without losing resolution in iPhoto?

    Dear All
    I have pics i took with my phone which is not an iphone, just little sony ericsson phone.
    Is there a way to increase the image size without losing resolution in iPhoto please? Or cheap 3rd party software or shareware perhaps?
    thank you very much.

    iPhoto has no way to do that. You'll need an external editor for the job. Not all have the capability. I know Photoshop has.
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

  • Scale image from small to large(r) without losing resolution

    Does anyone know how I can create a "scale action" of an image on a slide from small to large without losing the resolution of the image. Now, when I reduce the size of an image as a starting size and use Scale from the inspector to scale the image to e.g. 200% the images looks very blurred. I want the image in the larger form to have a good resolution.
    Thanks for your help.

    That's an interesting bug you've identified -- an image that is reduced by 50% and then scaled up to 200% with a Scale action looks blurrier than the original image at 100%. It seems like Keynote is scaling up the reduced image, rather than "removing the reduction" on the original.
    One solution that works well is to make a copy of your original image at the final size you want the scaled image to be, then place this copy on top of the scaling image, and build it in immediately after the scaling action with a dissolve build in that starts automatically after the scaling action. What this will do is give you the scaling effect, but at the final size, the full(er) resolution version will dissolve on top of the lower-res version. This procedure is more cumbersome than having the scaling effect work properly, but the result is quite acceptable, and the second dissolve build is pretty much imperceptible.

  • Suddenly cannot place image or resize file without losing resolution quality. Is this a bug?

    I have CS3 and have been using Photoshop for several years. Today I randomly encountered a problem I have never had before.
    I created a new file, 468 x 60 pixels with a resolution of 200. I then placed a file of a 4.95MB photo in this file. The size of the photo is quite large (resolution also 200)  and I should have had to resize it way down to fit in small 468 x 60 space I had.
    Instead, it placed the photo as a much smaller image, almost like a thumbnail of the original. When I went to resize the photo to make it larger, the resolution was terrible.
    So then I went to the original file of the photo, copied it, went back to the 468 x 60 file and pasted it. It pasted it as the true size, but when I decreased the size, the resolution went bad. How does that even make sense?
    So then I went back to the original file of the photo again and resized it down from there. The resolution went downhill again!
    I have tried this with multiple other photos and file sizes and dimensions. I cannot place any large photo file and keep its accurate dimensions/resolutions. I also cannot resize any photo down without losing pixel quality.
    The only thing weird that showed up right at the beginning of this whole process was that the pixel aspect ratio window kept popping up even before I'd open a file (it has been set to square).
    I have reset all PS preferences through ctrl-alt-shift. I have gone through the Adobe update process. I have done disk clean-up and cleared off nearly 10GB of room on my hard drive. I have restarted over and over. I have also tried this process in Illustrator and had no problems.
    Is this a bug? A memory problem? Never have I run into this issue before and I feel like I'm going crazy!

    You could make the top layer active and then Cmd-Shift-Option-E
    (stamp visible).
    Do the trim and crop and then delete the top layer afterwords.

  • Image size reduction without losing resolution

    I am creating marketing materials and product labels for my company using Elements 9. I am not a Photoshop expert but I have a reasonable knowledge of the program. I need to resize certain assets such as logos and paste them onto various documents. The problem I am having is that no matter what method I use to resize, they always lose resolution and appear pixelated and/or blurry in the final printed version.
    Normally I receive the assets in a hi-res image. It could be a jpeg or bitmap or any other number of format. I will open it in Elements, select it and remove the background via the Magic Wand>Layer Via Cut, and delete the background layer.
    From there, I have tried everything from the simple select, grab the corner and manually drag inwards method, to using Image>Resize>Image Size and filling in the fields. When I performed the latter, I typed in 300dpi, made sure Constrain Proportions was turned on, checked Resample, and selected Bicubic Sharper, and entered the size in inches. Then I copy/paste into the document, and it looks fine. I save, which normally opens up Reader and I print from there. The printed image looks great except for any logos I resized, which look awful. I also tried printing from within Elements, but it won't do it without giving me a message first saying that the document will print at less than 200dpi, which is obviously not desirable.
    One I paste the image onto the document, the Image Size>Resize becomes unusable because I can't seem to select just the logo - even with the bounding box clearly visable around the logo, resizing causes the entire document to be affected.
    I have tried many combinations of selecting/deselecting every option I can find, including Alias/Anti-Alias (which for some reason sometimes doesn't seem selectable at all). I've scoured forums and tutorials for help on this, and have tried every method I could find. In the end, nothing has worked. There has got to be a way to do this. Our 30 day trial is almost over and we went ahead and purchased the program without knowing whether we could resolve this issue - if we can't, it will be pretty much useless to us. Please help me so I can tell my boss he didn't just waste company money on this program!
    In short, my question is, what is the correct (or best) method for reducing image size? Please be detailed - and thank you! 

    Thanks for the reply Jon, but unfortunately I ended up with the same result as MTSTUNER said (using the Crop Tool).
    MTSTUNER, that definitely helped. The problem must have been in pasting, which as you said brings a "non-smart" image over. I was even able to resize a bit on the new document without losing any clarity whatsoever. Very helpful - THANK YOU!

  • How to export slideshow without losing resolution?

    I've used Macs for years, but I'm now having my first experiences with iLife. I've found similar questions to this one discussed here, but not exactly this question, I think.
    I have created a slideshow in iPhoto, complete with painstakingly set up Ken Burns effects timed to coincide with transition points in the music that accompanies the slide show.
    I would now like to send the slide show to a friend, in some way so that the friend can view it in very high resolution, just like I can, and maintaining the timing of slides to music.
    How can I do this? Exporting the slideshow as a .mov was a huge disappointment. Iphoto 6 only offers three resolution settings, and even the highest is much too low. Also, the timing got messed up in the .mov -- the slides advance too fast for the music.
    I tried Share->Send to iDVD, to see how that would work, but that failed entirely. I got an error message saying "the export movie file could not be created." Some day I'd like to figure out how to fix that problem, but it's only a high (i.e. pre-Christmas) priority if it's necessary to get my friend the slideshow.
    So what should I do? Will I need to re-make the entire slideshow in another application? That would take me a lot of time, and also I'm concerned about the level of editing control that I'd have in applications other than iPhoto. It looks like that would give me more control over exact duration of each picture, but less control over exactly how the Ken Burns effect pans and zooms over each picture, which is important to me. Maybe I'm wrong about that.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Medhead:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The largest you can get any slideshow will be the size sent to iDVD, 720 x 540. If you create it in iMovie and export as Full Quality that will be the same. If you select Expert Settings you can select the H.264 compression with Best Quality compressions and multipass for best quality.
    The best quality slideshows, IMO, is to create them in iDVD from imported stills. You are restricted to just one transition for the slideshow, no KB effect but can add titles or subtitles to selected slides.
    The slideshows I've created this way and burned play on my plasma HD tv with great sharpness and clarity. Again its my preference to go this route to have the better image quality. Also with this method it's a true slideshow where the viewer can go backward slide by slide with just one click. No rewinding of the movie like with a regular movie file.

    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application, iPhoto dB file backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • How do I put in illustrator image in photoshop without losing resolution???

    Noting I've tried has worked. Someone Please Help Me!!!!!!

    If you use File > Open and select the .ai file, it will open as a "Photoshop PDF" and you will get a dialog with a default resolution of 300 ppi to rasterize it.
    You can input 600 any any resolution you want and it will rasterize it preserving the details.
    This is for a flat ai file.
    If you want to import a layered ai file and preserve everything, you can save it as a psd in FireWorks.

  • I am losing resolution when I resize or rotate a line I have drawn.

    Can anyone help me?  I have been using photoshop to turn my drawings into digital stamps for crafting.  I always import my image, then with the pen tool I re-draw it in photoshop.  Usually I can take say my eye I had drawn and resize it or rotate it and it's perfect.  Lately I try any of that ant the lines will get very pixelated or lose resolution making them super fuzzy and ugly.  Does anyone know why this is now happening?
    I used to be able to duplicate it and flip it to have two perfect eyes, but again when I do that now same thing happens, it gets horribly pixelated. 
    I have attached two examples...
    Any helps is very much appreciated.  I am having the worst time trying to figure out why it's doing this all of the sudden. It has never done that before.  I have always been able to duplicate, rotate, and resize without it losing resolution or had the lines so fuzzy or pixelated.
    Thank you,
    Betty

    Hi again,
    Did you mean screen shots of my settings?  Maybe that would help?
    These are all my settings, and each time I draw a line and flip it or rotate it, it starts to lose resolution.  It is also now doing it when I take the finished file and place it into a "guide" file for making a watermark catalog image. Once I shrink the photo it looses resolution really badly.

  • How do I export 72ppi jpegs from InDesign without losing quality?

    I need to export indesign files that I design to 72ppi for web without losing any quality (or as minimal as possible). Countless times I have tried different methods, but alwasy manage to create a workaround, whether it be good quality, or just readable text. ITs really the small text I have the problem with. I explain in the below video my problem in further detail. But basically, I have tried many things such as pasted from indesign to photoshop, exporting to 300ppi jpeg and resizing in photoshop, exporting to 72ppi jpeg and viewing (not good at all), exporting as PDF, opening in photoshop ticking anti alias and inputting my dimensions... how can I get this to work?? Someone please help.. I have battled this problem for to long and my boss is getting annoyed with it. We need to fix this.
    Many people say to export to PDF and then open in photoshop and save as a jpeg from there.. but how can i export a PDF to 72ppi?? Please Adobe fix this issue in future editions of InDesign. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help

    You have it backwards. You export a PDF, and when you open it in Photoshop, that's when you pick the resolution. Any text in the PDF will likely be vector data, and it will be changed into bitmap data at the resolution you choose. I'll give you an example:
    I placed a 300ppi image (5.7MB Photoshop tiff) into an InDesign page with three captions (12pt, 9pt and 6pt). I exported the page as two different PDFs. One was set to High Quality Print (a1) and the other to Smallest File Size (a2). A1 came in at 446KB and a2 came in at 37KB. When opened in Photoshop, I picked 72ppi as the resolution, flattened and saved as an RGB Jpeg without color profile and quality setting of 12.
    The a1 jpeg was 180kb in size and a2 was 156kb, so not too far apart, considering the difference in file size between the PDF versions. If you open the jpegs in Photoshop, you will see that the size of the letter F at the beginning of the 12pt caption is nine pixels high in each, so if the problem you are having is that small text isn't readable, maybe the text is just too small to be readable at 72ppi.

  • Losing resolution when exporting...

    I have made a few movies using photos and video clips set to music. When I export them, either using Quicktime or sharing them with iDVD, they lose a lot of resolution. Is there a way to burn these movies to DVD without losing quality?

    I used the Ken Burns feature on every photo (70 total). Some of the photos are 3264x2448(8MP), most are 2592x1944(5MP), and a few are scanned photos size app. 2711x2033.
    Okay. Would assume the still are being stored in your project as 1920x1440 frames. (You can check this out for yourself and I don't know if working in PAL mode would be different that NTSC.) In any case, the stored image resolution will be the limiting factor for export resolution.
    When finished, I exported the video in Large size 720x576. At this resolution the quality was very deteriorated.
    Just finished making a dozen runs duplicating your work flow in Compressor Native PAL, Compressor Native NTSC, 768x576, 640x480, etc. and cannot duplicate you problem without doing something like using a filter to overdrive the contrast like this:
    Preview in iMovie '08
    Output in QT Player
    Output w/Overdriven Contrast in QT Player
    Apple Care recommended that I share with iDVD, but I got the same results. Then I started experimenting with Quicktime, which is where I am now. I have tried several different sizes, including my own concoctions with the custom function (1382x1036 is what I'm exporting at now, I want to keep a 4:3 aspect ratio).
    As indicated above, you can open your project folder and check the "Still Images" QT file which contains your stored photos to see their resolution. Max resolution depends on your project import settings (e.g., 1920x1080, 960x540, etc.) and their orientation. In any case, this is the max height resolution to which you can export your project at optimum quality for its aspect ratio. Remember, however, that whatever resolution you export your project to will later be re-scaled in iDVD down to 720x576 (PAL) or 720x480 (NTSC) for burning to DVD. If you think the increased processing time is worth whatever increase in quality you may achieve, then go for it.
    The resolution looks acceptable (once I shrink the movie down to fit on the screen), but as I mentioned the color saturation is too high. In the quicktime filters, I adjusted the saturation down to 80 percent, and reduced the red by 5. Still waiting on the results...
    Still haven't a clue here.

  • I have about 200 pics that I downloaded onto my iPad 2 from a folder on my computer that crashed recently.How doI update and back up my iPad without losing those pics?

    I have about 200 pics that I downloaded onto my iPad 2 from a folder on my computer that crashed recently. How do I update and back up my iPad without losing those pics? Pics of my 4 beautiful kids... do not want to lose these!

    What would you have done if you didn't have an iPad?
    Photos on your computer should be included with your computer's backup along with all other important data. The iPad is not designed to intended to be a backup storage device.
    The transfer of photos from a computer to an iOS device via the iTunes sync process is a one way transfer only - from the computer to the device. Photos are optimized for viewing on the device the photos are being transferred to - the original resolution of the photos is changed, which is why transferring these photos in the opposite direction is not supported.
    There are some 3rd party paid utilities that support transferring these photos in the opposite direction.

  • Provide alternative JSON renderer? Without losing default JSON renderer?

    REQUIREMENT
    Construct some custom JSON rendition of a page. For example: /content/site/page.my.json
    And we want to accomplish this without losing the out-of-the-box functionality:
    /content/site/page.html - WORKS OUT OF THE BOX
    /content/site/page.json - WORKS OUT OF THE BOX
    WHAT WE'VE TRIED
    We've added a jsp to our global page template and named it my.json.jsp. This has given us this behavior:
    /content/site/page.my.json - INVALID RECURSION SELECTOR (the request gets handled by default json renderer and "my" is not a valid recursion selector)
    /content/site/page/_jcr_content.my.json - WORKS (we can see our custom json renderer working), but we have other reasons we cannot use this URI.
    So we're nearly there. Next, we add "json" to the list of extensions that are treated with default resolution behavior, by going to felix config and editing the "Apache Sling Servlet/Script Resolver And Error Handler:
    By doing this, now our custom json WORKS, but we get the following results:
    /content/site/page.my.json  - WORKS (our custom JSON renders)
    /content/site/page.json - DOESN'T WORK (html is rendered rather than the default JSON renderer)
    How can we provide this custom renderer at *.my.json without losing the functionality of the default  *.json renderer, necessary for dialogs in the page properties, etc.
