Resolution of Imported jpegs, especially with text, is terrible.

I'm importing jpegs built @ 1280 x 720 pixels. In the viewer the text is crisp, but when it's put into the sequence, it loses all quality. I'm not sure what my sequence settings should be on. Under Sequence settings I've been using "DV NTSC 48 Khz Anamorphic" .I export using quicktime conversion using the "best" settings.
Thanks

Not sure how or where to make that happen. To create a sequence that's 1280x720, would that be under easy setup's, "HDV-Apple intermediate codec 720p30?
I'll eventually be exporting video to be placed in an html document with a flash player.

  • Importing CAF files *with* text comments

    I'm using an iPhone program while filming documentaries.  The app is called Cohdoo Highlight, which allows me to mark a segment of the audio and name it with text.  I'm doing this while the camera is running. 
    Ideally, I'd like to bring in the CAF files with the text into Premiere Pro CS6.  The forum posts suggest ways of converting the CAF file, but makes no reference to retaining the text. 
    Any suggestions? 
    Fundamentally, I'm trying to "mark" the good stuff live, while my DSLR is filming, so I can know where to find the soundbytes later.   Would love any suggestions which might accomplish that goal.
    Thanks in advance!

    Thank you, Jim!  I appreciate it.  I'm a one-man crew, so I'm trying to find ways to be more productive.    I am using a Canon 60D (dslr) with Magic Lantern -- which I love, btw.  The 'marking' option inside the camera + ML is not bad, but not awesome.

  • Quality issues with render (especially with text)

    I'm having trouble getting my video render to look the same, quality wise, as my view in After Effects.
    Here's a screencap from my After Effects view. Full resolution, 100%.
    http://share.shpigford.com/images/aftereffects-20100602-105207.png
    Here's a screencap from the video playback in Quicktime after render. Best Settings, Lossless (Animation).
    http://share.shpigford.com/images/export-20100602-105317.png
    What render settings do I need to get that text crisp when rendering?

    I've tried playback with QT7...same problem.
    Text is not 3D.
    When I import back, no field interpolation is added...it just looks exactly like it was exported (with fuzzy edges).
    I am noticing that the problem seems more prevalent on the text that has some motion to it...so maybe it's some weird ghosting/artifacting thing to make the movement smoother? As far as I can tell, I've disabled anything that'd cause that, but maybe there's some setting that I missing?
    Something worth noting...if I export the video as a TIFF or PSD sequence with trillions of colors, the frames are crisp as they should be. The problem is that the sequence then become prohibitively large (12MB+ per frame).

  • Imported jpeg photos with noise after unsharp mask in photoshop

    Hallo, I have this problem with Aperture (last update version). I have some photos in RAW/NEF format, I use Camera Raw for the main adjustment and then I use unsharp mask in photoshop for get sharpening. Photos are saved in jpeg max quality and I import the Jpeg files in Aperture. When I view this photos, for a few seconds photo looks good and sharp (I see loading... indicator). Then photos become blurry and it present a huge noise. If I export one of this photos or I view in Iphoto or in mac Preview, photo is very good. The problem is INSIDE of Aperture. If I don't use unsharp mask (from photoshop), all is ok!!! I tried to import files directly in Iphoto and photos are good.
    Thank you.

    What your screenshots are showing, is exactly how the sharpening with "unsharp mask" is supposed to work. It emphasizes any variation of the luminance in the image, including the variance due to noise. The threshold parameter should be used to separate noise from the main edges in the photo. By setting this parameter to 0, you have disabled the noise suppression in this filter, and so the result is very noisy, most noticable in the darker regions of the image, where there are no real edges to be sharpened, only noise.  I'd recommend to set the threshold to a higher value, I usually use 10-20 or so.  My screenshot was computed with a threshold of 15.
    But the big question is, why you are not seeing the noise in iPhoto or Preview. Have you pixel-peeped at 100 % in these apps? There must be some kind of filter applied that will reduce the noise that must be present.
    Your second question: Why do the jpeg load first as bluury and then gradually become sharper? I only see this happen, when I save the jpegs with the option "Progressive"; this will encode the jpeg in scale-space - a pyramide of images at different resolution. When opening, Aperture will first load the coarse resolution as apreview, and the image will gradually become sharper.

  • Importing Jpegs Paired with RAW files.

    I'm shooting RAW/JPEG with an S95, that is, each shot creates separate RAW and JPEG files.  The RAWs of course don't import, but I'd like to import the JPEGs.  Unfortunately, the JPEGs won't appear in the Import dialog.  Thus, there seems to be no way to import these files even though they exist as distinct files.
    I've got LR 3.2.  How can I bring these files into Lightroom?
    Thank you,

    Nevermind -- I figured it out.

  • Importing images with text into Final cut pro

    I'm using FC Studio on a 15" Powerbook 1.67 GHZ 1.5 GB RAM OSX 10.4.9 with a 300GB external HD.
    I'm editing a short film and am using some still images. I've successfully imported and used photographs edited in photoshop. I'm trying to import what is essentially a screen shot of a MSword Doc consisting of boxes, text and graphics.
    I've exported the word doc to PDF and imported to photoshop with 300dpi and saved as both jpeg and png. When viewed in photoshop the resolution of the text appears normal. It imports sucessfully but when viewed in full size in the timeline or external monitor the resolution of the text is terrible. I've also tried adjusting the scale of the image in the Canvas.
    I've read up on this issue a little and have tried reducing and increased the image size and dpi. Has anyone else tried to import still images with text??
    I apolgise if this issue has already been addressed - I've tried using the solutions provided for still images (without text) but have come up against a wall!
    I would appreciate any help or feedback!

    I have used Adobe Illustrator saved out as.png with great results.

  • Color space conversion problem when importing JPEG's

    Hi,
    I'm currently playing with the trial version of LR. While importing JPEG's with different color spaces (sRGB and Adobe RGB) to LR I've noticed a strange effect: There is a small but noticable difference in color, depending if the JPEG was previously saved in AdobeRGB, or sRGB. All the images I've tested so far should not contain critical colors that exceed normal sRGB. When opened in CS2 both versions of a JPEG, AdobeRGB and sRGB, typically look perceptually identical, no matter if I leave the sRGB image to sRGB, or convert it to the working space (AdobeRGB). Also my color-managed image viewer behaves as it should. So I don't think it's a matter of the different color spaces.
    Looking at the imported images in LR I would say that the AdobeRGB image is correctly converted while the sRGB image suffers from a slight reddish cast, most noticable in skin tones. The effect is not as strong as if I would load the sRGB image into CS2 and skip color conversion to my working space (AdobeRGB).
    The sRGB versions of the JPEG's were obtained from the AdobeRGB JPEG's using CS2 for conversion.
    Anyone else here experienced a similar problem? Is this a bug in the xRGB-to-ProPhotoRGB conversion of LR, or a feature?
    /Steffen

    Hi Uli,
    thanks for pointing me to your thread. I followed the discussion with great interest. Actually, I think the effect I am describing here is of different nature and a LOT stronger, at least for the type of images I've tested.
    I did some more experiments yesterday with interesting results:
    1) When I export a processed RAW from LR to JPEG or PSD, no matter what Color Space (I tested AdobeRGB, sRGB and ProphotoRGB), and re-import those JPEG/PSD's to LR, they look absolutely identical to the RAW I started with. Also, at first glance, they look similar when opened in CS2, but only because I tested with color images. I can indeed see small differences when testing with B/W, as you described in your "Color management bug" thread.
    2) When I change the color space of an PSD or JPEG inside CS2 (I used the default setting 'relative colorimetric') and save it to JPEG and then import this JPEG to LR, colors are far off. The strength of this mostly reddish color cast depends on the color space of the imported JPEG, strongest for Prophoto, less strong for Adobe and sRGB. Interestingly, when I convert the color space inside CS2 and save the result to PSD, it will display correctly when imported in LR. Another interesting side effect: the thumbnails of LR-exported JPEG's in the "Open" dialogs of CS2 and LR (I guess those are not color-managed) show the typical color-flatness for the Adobe and even more the ProPhoto version. For the CS2-converted JPEG's, all thumbnails look just a colorful as the thumbnail of the sRGB version.
    3) Such an image which doesn't display correctly in LR will keep its color cast when exported again to a JPEG (not sure about PSD). So something goes wrong with the color conversion during the import of such CS2-converted images.
    My explanation so far is that CS2 uses a slightly different way of coding the colorspace information in the metadata of JPEG's which somehow prevents LR to recognise the color space correctly.
    Can you confirm this behaviour?

  • When I import or drag/drop an image from Finder into Pages, it floats the image instead of keeping it inline with text

    I'm new to Pages and I've searched online for an answer to this question but haven't found anything quite what I need.
    When I import an image from Finder (or drag and drop from Finder) into Pages, the Text Wrap default is "automatic" which seems to be "in front of text." I have to manually click each image and then change it from "Automatic" to "Inline With Text." Is there a way to change the default so it's not "Automatic" but "Inline With Text" to save me these steps for every single image I import?
    (If importing from Media Browser would behave differently, I don't use iPhoto except for Photo Stream so I need to bring them in from where I've saved them in my Finder.)
    Thanks so much for any help!

    Good questions...  I'll have to try and figure out when the problem first happened - I was thinking it was when I upgraded to Safari 5.1.4 but that might not be the case...  I'll try your suggestions to see if any of them eliminate the problem (I have restarted recenlty and that didn't fix it) but I'll try repairing permissions,etc.  Thanks!
    hmmm... Mcbuffy: are you implying that you *don't* get the webloc when dragging an image out of Safari and that this isn't a caused by change to Safari but is a big/conflict in mine?

  • How do I save a photo edited in photoshop with text added to a jpeg file that will create a poster quality image?

    You can't.
    The JPEG format is a lossy format and it also does not support layers.

  • Any way to NOT import JPEGs with RAWs?

    When I import RAW files from my camera, Aperture imports the JPEG images as well but keeps it hidden from view. I dug into the Aperture Vault to check out what was going on, and it stores the 4-5 MB JPEG alongisde each RAW file. I can't see the reason for this. I'm not interested in these crappy JPEGs and they are just taking up room on my hard drive. Is there any way to get Aperture to not import the JPEGs when importing RAW files?

    step 1 ... stop shooting RAW+JPG ...
    ok, i got that out of the way ... do you import directly from the camera ??? or directly from card reader into aperture ???
    me, i NEVER import directly from card to program ... EVER ...
    last week i needed to shoot RAW+JPG, only because i needed quick access to some JPGs and didn't have aperture handy ...
    when i returned i copied my card contents to a desktop folder (like i always do) and used the search box and entered JPG ... then i deleted every one - they had served their purpose ... then i dupped the folder of RAW files and then imported into aperture ... no JPGs imported ...
    seriously the only way to not have aperture import the JPG with the RAW is to weed out the JPGs (or not shoot RAW+JPG - but i already covered that)

  • Do you see problems with text size when importing from Photoshop?

    Hi all -
    We're working on improving some things in the Photoshop-to-Reflow workflow, and right
    now specifically investigating trouble with imported text.
    Aside from the desire to have support for local fonts, are there any problems you run into
    when importing text from Photoshop into Reflow? We've heard some issues with text size and position,
    but want to make sure we understand all of the cases.
    If you have problems in this area, please share them in this thread, and I'd also love to get some
    sample PSDs that demonstrate the problems. (You can send them directly to me; vmitnick at adobe dot com .)
    thanks,
    Vic

    I'm using CS4.. and I'm using the standard "Save As" .pdf features....
    and I'm reading it with adobe acrobat pro 9.1...
    i think it has something to do with compression. but i can't figure out how to solve it. converting the text to symbols maybe?

  • How do you import jpegs and make a flip book with CC Id?

    How do you import jpegs and make a flip book with CC Id?

    You actually don't need to make a flipbook yourself. There are paid and free, ready-to-use flipbooks in Flash or HTML5 available which you just need to configure and then put all images into a specific folder and the flipbook runs them.

  • Trouble with aspect ratio importing jpegs

    I am importing JPEGs into Final Cut Pro. They are all formated at 740x480. All appropriate settings in FC are NTSC-DV Anamorphic. The photos are coming in squeezed down. Any help would be appreciated.

    The pixels are not square. All you need to do is open the Motion tab and adjust the distort.

  • Problem with text resizing and moving

    After much pain with this issue, I'm going to ask for help.
    The whole issue(s) resolves around text upsizing, changing and moving in Muse.
    No amount of grouping, layering and locking has stopped this issue for me.
    I don't have divs that are a pixel off and whatnot. This happens even when I have a blank site and I test it (as seen in the example pic below).
    The majority of the time, this is an issue when viewing Muse created sites on Android, although text does move when viewed on iOS.
    Example 1:
    I have a square div. I put text in the div that I want to stay contained in the div. Basic right?
    View site on browsers and iOS devices it generally plays by the rules (although not always, there are some movement going on). When viewing this example text and div on an android device, the text resizes larger. This results in the text overlapping the div and moving EVERYTHING below it down. This makes it impossible to tightly design anything for a website.
    I know Android has options within it for users to set text viewing size, but this worthless from a web designer standpoint. That is something I can't control.
    Example 2:
    I have 1 text field and set the typeface to 15. There is nothing else on the page, just a background image (under "Fill"). Viewed on browsers and iOS looks fine. When viewed on Android this text balloons to some enormous size (25+) that makes the website utterly useless. This random resizing makes it impossible to design to. 
    Example 2.5:
    I take that same text from example 2, copy it into 2 of the same size text fields. They are placed next to each other, taking up the same width as Example 2. It now looks like 2 columns of text. Set the typeface to 15 again. I view it on Android and get the resizing issues from example 1 not example 2. It's noting to the extent of example 2 but like example 1, it still changes enough to ruins any design I'm trying to accomplish.
    Is there any place in Muse to lock the text? I don't want to make the text into an image (obviously).
    I been dealing with this in Muse for 6 months and haven't been able to find anything online or in forums about. I understand with the bevy of platforms out there nothing will look the same across the board, but right now I don't see how I can continue working with this issue.
    Am I the only one dealing with this?
    Thank you for any assistance.

    Welcome to the annoying realities of working with text on websites... Nothing you describe is unique to Muse.
    Every browser has it's own text engine and thus each line breaks text differently. Even the exact same web page on the same computer with the same fonts will sometimes result in different line breaks in different browsers, or even in different versions of the same browser. It's just a side effect of the nature of determining a line break, where even the most miniscule difference in calculations can result in an entire word fitting, or not fitting.
    There are two "tools" that are especially important to understand and use effectively in order to create designs that work as effectively as possible with the variation in line breaks from one site viewer to the next.
    Text Frame Height Always Matters
    If a text frame is drawn to the exact height of the text wthin the frame, then any increase in the number of lines of text due to changes in line breaks will result in the text frame growing and other objects below the text frame being moved down.
    If a text frame is drawn larger than the height of the text then when line breaks change the text frame won't grow unless the changes in line breaks are severe enough to result in the flowed text being taller than the text frame was originally drawn.
    If you resize a text frame smaller than the text within the frame in Muse Design view, the frame will snap back to be large enough to accommodate the text, but a dotted horizontal line will appear within the text frame indicating the "minimum height" for the text frame. If line breaks change in the browser the text frame will grow or shrink in height down to the minimum height indicated by this dotted line.
    Careful sizing of text frames can go a long way to creating a design that will continue to work well even when line breaks, and thus text frame heights change.
    Grouping Has Consequences
    As part of the output process, Muse collections the objects you've drawn into a hierarchy of horizontal groupings, vertical groupings, or stacks. When line breaks change in different browsers and text frames change height, when the text frames are located in this output heirarchy determines what impact the change in height has on other objects (if any).
    For example, if you have a layout that looks like a 2x2 grid of text frames, by default Muse will interpret it to act as two colums. So if the first text frame gets taller it will push the text frame below it down, but won't impact the location of the two text frames in the second column.
    If that's not the behavior you want, the way to tell Muse to treat things differently would be to group the two items in the first "row". This would cause the top to to be treated as a horizontal group. If anything in the group grows taller than the group, the group resizes taller and pushes the objects below it down. Thus if the top to items are grouped, if either one of them grows taller than the group it would push both the text frames below downward.
    The 2x2 grid is just a simple example of the concept. In most cases you don't have to do anything special to get the behavior you want, but it is important to understand grouping has this ramification. Grouping an arbitrary set of objects on your page can result in undesired behavior when text frames resize in the browser.
    For the Andriod screenshot you've provided, I don't have an immediate explanation. For us to explain what's shown we need to know the exact browser, browser version, Android version and device the screenshot is for. It would also be immensely helpful to have the URL for the page, so we can attempt to reproduce what you're seeing and view the exact code involved.

  • Preview's "Import from Scanner" documents -Text Tool cannot be activated.

    Any documents created within 10.6 and printed/saved as a pdf file can be opened in Preview and the Text Tool activated allowing selection of text and copy/paste or text highlight actions made.
    Using OSX 10.6.7 Preview application using the File > Import from Scanner (Epson V500 scanner), the scanned document cannot activate the Text Tool. Only the Move and Select tools cans be selected, activated and used. It's as if Preview's document scanned image using Format-PDF, the scans appear to be an image scan of the text/document into a PDF file and not using OCR to allow a Text Edit.
    I can scan a printed document using Acrobat and my Epson scanner and the text tool within Acrobat or Adobe Reader works fine.
    Is this a shortcoming within Preview using Format-PDF that the Text tool cannot be activated or used on Preview scanned documents containing text? If so why is Preview's text tool even offered?
    If Text Tool can be used on a Preview scanned document…How ? Please!

    After further research I have been able to answer my own question regarding-
    "Preview's "Import from Scanner" documents -Text Tool cannot be activated."
    In Apples Mac 101 Support article entitled: "Using a scanner (Mac 10.6) last modified on March 15, 2011, states: "Item 6. Click Scan to scan. Note: The scanned items will become JPEG images with 300 dpi"
    So there it is…Any item (or printed document) scanned under Preview using the selected Format-PDF will be scanned as a JPEG image.
    That' s why the Text Tool cannot be activated, it's not being scanned as text but as an image.
    If a document is created within the computer via Pages, Text Edit, Word etc. and saved using the "Print-PDF-Save asPDF" file option, the already digitized text is saved within the PDF file and can then the PDF file can be opened in Preview and the Text Tool will be available for use to copy/paste or highlight.
