Screen looks really bad

Hi,
no Idea what I did wrong but since june my screen ( samsung 913n) looks really bad a bootup. First it is fine but just when the desktop is loaded it looks like if it only has 3-4 collors left. I can 'fix' it by taking out the cable and plug it in the other port of the video card. If I create another account I have no issues. Can someone tell me where to fix this account related software issue ?
Tried all updates & several cache cleaning programs.
Getting tired of changing the port all the time.\
Thanks in advance for any tips !
Tomas

Thanks Niel,
This didn't help, everything is ok there.
I've must installed something wrong that caused this problem
I've removed many programs that I had installed around the problem date, I think I will just start using a new acount.

Why do the photos in my first InDesign project look really bad?

Why do the photos in my first InDesign project look really bad? Noticed as I "placed" them, some PDFs or JPEGs (not photos, but PDFs converted to JPEG) looked pretty distorted. Went ahead with the 60+ page project, converted to PDF, sent to client. He converted to a flipbook to proof and really didn't like the photos. Here's the irony. Upgraded to InDesign for this client. Was using Publisher as a standby until I could afford InDesign. Signed up with the Creative Cloud because job was overwhelming Publisher.
I started the job without a whole lot of knowledge (or patience for the tutorials) and figured I just wing it (and get InDesign for Dummies). Am thinking somethingw as screwed up in the initial setting up of the job. So how do I figure out if this is the issue and can I fix it without redoing all 60+ pages. If anybody has an answer, please let me know.

Ok, first image on your indesign page or any other program for that matter are still images, they are no longer pdf's, jpg's, psd's, etc. Once they load into a program, the file format is no longer relevant until you save again. Onl;y on your drive is the format relavent.
Second, if you can help it, never use jpg's until you are completely done and will be sharing a jpg. Jpg's are a lossy format are are not the best for preserving quality on your drive. Each time you open a jpg, and save a jpg more data is lost, as that is how that format compresses the data, by throwing it way for ever.
Third, the problem may not even be with you, it could happen when that person created a flipbook. That is an unknown varible, one which could make you look bad when it had nothing to do with you.
Fourth, Pay attention to the pixel dimentions of your images, the higher those values are the better the quality. Scaling can and probably will reduce that quality. If you can, it is better to hide parts of the image by cropping with a frame than it is to scale the image. you can scale, but pay attention to it.
I will stop there for now, as some of what I wrote is based on assumtions. That normally does not work out too well.

Why does it look really bad quality when i plug my 13in macbook pro to my 42in samsung tv?

i bought this rocketfish hdmi cable to plug my 13in mac pro to my samsung plasma tv so i can watch netflix and youtube..and for some reason the picture quality is really bad. everyone says it looks great in theirs but why not mine? i put it at the highest resolution which is 1080i. Can i get any help??

it should be 1080p unless your's is only i
netflix and youtube need to have the best picture turned on for it to look good. Some are in 1080p but other only max out at 240p.
if you are in mirror mode, you are unable to change the screen size to the tv independently of the mbp.
What you should try to do is see if you have mirror mode turned on in system preferences> display>arrangement.

Screen flickering really bad after unplugging external monitor

Hello,
Since I updated my Macbook Pro 13' Retina (inch, Early 2013) to Mavericks, almost averytime I unplug my external monitor or TV, the screen starts flickering really bad. This is the screenshot of the issue. Sometimes you can see all the apps opens, but the "flicker" effect takes over the screen, making it impossible to user the computer. The only way I found to use the compuer again is restarting it. It's really weird.

Howdy inireugg,
We've an article that provides a host of helpful information and tips for resolving issues with displays.
No video or no signal, image distortion, "snow," or flickering
Check connections
When using an external display be sure to check the following:
If you're using an Apple notebook, confirm the AC power cable or adapter is securely connected to the computer and the cable providing power to the display is also secure. It is always good to have your notebook connected to AC power when an external display is in use.
Confirm display adapters are fully seated in their respective connections and that they are supported models and for the computer and display. Refer to these articles to assist you with adapter compatibility and further configuration information:
Monitor and Display Adapter Table
About Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters
Apple Mini DisplayPort adapters: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Thunderbolt ports and displays: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Remove all display cable extenders, KVM switches, or other like devices and retest to determine if the issue is resolved.
Try unplugging the video adapter or cable and then plug it back in.
If more than one video adapter is in use (or "daisy-chained"), troubleshoot by using only one adapter.
Example: A mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter connected to a DVI to HDMI adapter is an unsupported configuration because there is a series of adapters in use.
If available, try using a different display and or adapter (or use a different connector by using DVI instead of VGA, for instance).
Reset the systemYou can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.Reset the resolutionStart by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.

Exporting images looks really bad!

Forum,
I am exporting images for a slideshow to make in DVD Studio Pro for my final outputted project.
The problem is that the images look really choppy and very bad. They look interlaced.
I'm working with NTSC DV. Is this normal?
Would it help is I made a Freeze Frame in FCP, then exported it as an image?
System:
OS X 10.4.5
FCP 5.0.4
QT 7.0.4
Thanks

hi fcp - I take them straight off the tl and go into photoshop with them to tidy them up. Use the deinterlace filter in ps.

Pdf imported into InDeisng looks really bad when printed

It´s completly destroyed It. It looks all blocky. Please view it here, as I am crap at explaining. The original document was scanned from a Sharp MXC-311. When scanned from a different (Sharp MXC-5001) machine it looks fine. I think that it is something wrong with the way InDesign handles pdf, any ideas that might help?

You have to realise that a scanned page is just an image. Just because you scan it to a PDF format it doesn't mean that it's a good quality PDF.
All you are doing is scanning an image and then it is wrapped in PDF code to be viewable in Acrobat.
You would have to scan the document at a given resolution to get the right print quality.
Was this a preprinted piece, like a magazine or book? Do you need to descreen the image?

3D layers look really bad in CC 2014?

I went to open some of my CS6 Photoshop files that had 3D layers, in Photoshop CC 2014, and they looked okay when it first loaded, but as soon as I touched it they looked awful.
Also, not sure what this overlay is when you view the texture... assuming it's the texture polys... is there a way to hide this?
Any thoughts anyone has on this will be appreciated.
Nick

5th Generation iPod screen really badly scratched even while in case!

Ive had my iPod video for only 2 weeks and the screen got really bad scratched in oneday! BUT it was in its case that comes with it the entire time, How the **** did this happen ? It was in my pocket in my jeans and there was nothing else in the pocket. Can I get my iPod replaced? like at the shop or via the website becuase this scratch is a really bad one and is very noticable.

X,
I doubt you will get it replaced - after all, it was scratched while in your possession, and most things like cars and houses get scratched during ownership. Its a pity that iPod scratches so easily though - my mobile phones of similar finish and much longer 'pocket use' are still virtually pristine...

Slowmo work really bad in fcpX 1080i.. i need help!!!!

Whe i try to put a clip slowmotion on -50%. it work good but i see the image going like trails and i looks really bad and i dont know what to do to make the slowmotion smooth....

Interlaced Slo Mo doesn't work so well.
Change your project settings to progressive by clicking the wrench icon with the project selected in the project library. Then apply the retiming.

After compressor, video looks very bad

I exported my Final Cut Pro timeline using Compressor,
because I want to convert to mpeg2 to burn to DVD.
After it is exported and in compressor, I choose the
Apple setting for DVD Best Performance 90 min 4:3.
The total time of my timeline is about five minutes.
After it is converted, I play it back in the Simulator and it looks really bad, grainy, blurry, like a poor quality vhs video.
I don't know why this is.
Can someone help please.
thanks.

thanks for the reply.
I am judging my video by playing it back in the Viewer, when I add it to a track. I haven't burned the DVD yet.
Here's what I'm doing:
Export from FCP to Compressor (this is a single 5 min QT movie file, that I captured straight from my DV cam to FCP)
my presents in Compressor are: 1 pass CRB,
mpeg2 elementary, NTSC CCIR 601/DV, 29.97, frame controls: automatic, 4:3, Average data rate: 4.5, bottom first.
HOWEVER, I have also followed the same steps on another 5 min FCP project, this one consists of
multiple clips from several different sources, with effects, filters, much more complicated, and it looks great ... with the same settings as above.
Don't know what is the problem with the 5 min QT movie.
After compressor, it looks like bad vhs video.
Any ideas?

Quick Time Screen recording really choppy/ bad frame rate.

So when i record my screen using other programs everything is smooth and the video moves at the same speed as real time, but when i record using Quick time then the video is very laggy and the frame rate is really bad and things are just jumping around a lot.
Is Quck Time just not capable of Screen recording complex things? is it only capable of recording microsoft word? lol.
If someone can hep me use Qucik time to record me screen then that would be great, cause with the way it is now there simply is no point to using it at all cause it doesnt record the screen very well, it just lags and everything jumps around to much. Its like watching a slide show where the pictures change every 2 sec rather than a video.

Hello justo,
Well let's get this straight, if you activate the "custom" needs to disable "Show" not to be active in recording the two modules, when you enter the part of customization changes and exit, when he is back in "Demonstration" because the standard method of entry but if your looking for customization that you changed it continues on, not being changed.
This is my thought to what can entedender of your doubts.

*** How do I get the "really wide" screen look?

I am shooting HDV with a Sony Z1U and love the results, but I wondered about something. I would like my finished projects to have the "really wide" screen look similar to a 2:35 panoramic. I know this is achievable by letterboxing the footage, primarily because there aren't too many panoramic tv's, but my main concern is for the web.
Is there a way to make my online clips appear really wide? Currently I export 480x270 for the web, but like the look I saw on the latest Superman trailer where the dimmensions could be either 480x200 or 650x270 depending on how you scaled down the quicktime window.
Obviously I don't want any squishing but my question is, do I have to shoot with an adaptor to get this look or can I just place a 2:35 matte on my footage and somehow export through quictime conversion so as not to see the black bars on top and bottom?
Hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance...

You can't shoot native 2.35:1 with the Z1U using a special lens, if that's what you're wondering. You must letterbox and/or place your footage in a custom-sized sequence.
To spell that out for you:
Create a new HDV sequence
With the sequence open and active in the Timeline, open Sequence Settings (Command-0) [that's Zero]
Alter Aspect Ratio to Custom, then alter Frame Size to 1440x816
(It must be done in that order - Aspect Ratio, then Frame Size - to work correctly)
Nest your final sequence (or your completed movie) into this new sequence.
(If your sequence or clip was letterboxed to 2.35:1, it will be windowboxed [black on all 4 sides]. Otherwise, it will be pillarboxed [black on the left & right sides].)
Select your nested sequence or clip(s), then bring up the Remove Attributes dialog (Option-Command-V), select Basic Motion (in case it's not preselected), then click OK
(The trailer should now fill the frame, with any letterboxing cropped off)
File > Export > Using QuickTime Conversion and be sure to specify a custom size. Full size would be 1920x816, so calculate according to that ratio (not 1440x816)
