Screensaver pics are pixelated & orientation is ignored

I recently upgraded to 10.5.2 and noticed that my screensaver that has always been set to iPhoto lIbrary seems to be changing and/or ignoring the picture orientation as viewed in iphoto as well as some pictures appear very pixelated. When I go to iphoto the pics look fine.
So I've searched all the forums, troubleshooting docs, etc and couldn't find anything that solved the problem so I'm asking for some help here.
Have all the current updates for all apps including the latest graphics support, repaired permissions, and have already rebuilt the iphoto library with all options checked. When I upgraded to Leopard, I did the default upgrade.
Additional info: for the pixilation - some photos from the same date batch (roll) are and others aren't so I can't imagine that it was the camera. Also some photos that are pixilated are pretty old, while others are quite new and with a new camera.
For the orientation, some photos are rotated even though they weren't taken in that orientation.
Hope this is enough info for someone to be able to provide some help!
Thx,
Rox

when I am on the net, every photo either on the background of the website or anything I downloa are like I'm viewing photos that are too small in size and have been blown up leaving them looking very pixelated.
Using which browser?
If IE7 or IE8, try resetting it. Also, try another browser.

  • My pics are pixelated on Mac retina display

    I just loaded some new pics I just took onto my new Macbook Pro, but upon opening them the pics are extremely pixelated. Is there a fix for this? I'm using CS4 as well. Do I need to upgrade my photoshop?

    You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
    Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site or else the download will not work properly.

    Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
    It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
    1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
    2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
    I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
    I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
    Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
    If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
    If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
    1. Right click images you want to share.
    2. Select Export version.
    3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
    4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
    This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
    See how you go.

    I am new to this so I am not sure what the file size is since I'm not resizing it.
    The question asked about exported image size (height and width) in pixels, not file size. Your operating system can tell you, or if you import the exported image into Lightroom, then Lightroom can tell you in the Metadata Panel, set the dropdown to EXIF.
    I am printing a 5x7. I know I have tried to print with long edge set at 1024 and set to 300 ppi and had the same result with the grainy ness.
    If the exported file has a long edge of 1024, then you did resize the image, there no other way to turn a RAW in to a JPG with long edge 1024. In any event, 1024 pixels is probably not large enough to fill 7 inches, that's really 1024/7=146 pixels per inch (rounded-off), and could be the cause of the "graininess" that you see, although I would use the word "pixelization" to describe what you see. So I'm not sure we are talking about the same thing, but let's go with it for now.
    The solution depends on your answer to the original question, and probably depends on a clarification of how you got the image to 1024 on the long edge even though you claim you didn't resize it.

    I am having some huge problems with my colorspace settings. Every time I upload my raw files from my Canon 5D mark II or 6D the pics are perfect in color. That includes the back of my camera, the pic viewer on my macbook pro, and previews. They even look normal when I first open them in photoshop. I will edit, save, and then realize once i've sent it to myself to test the color is WAY off. This only happens in photoshop. I've read some forums and have tried different things, but it seems to be making it worse. PLEASE HELP! Even viewing the saved image on the mac's pic viewer is way off once i've edited in photoshop. I am having to adjust all my colors by emailing myself to test. Its just getting ridiculous.

    Check the color space in camera raw, the options are in the link at the bottom of the dialog box. Then when saving make sure you save it to the srgb color space when sending to others. Not all programs understand color space and or will default to srgb. That won't necessarily mean it will be accurate, but it will put it in the ballpark. Using save for web will use the srgb color space.

  • My computer just had to get a new hard drive and we reloading info onto the new hard drive...my iphoto pics are all, there save about 8, but there are NO thumbnails. I tried rebuilding the thumbnails...nothing. I tried creating a new library...nothing.

    I have recently had to purchase a new battery and hard drive. Because it wouldn't back up completely, I was able to recover most information, but it looked a bit different or I have found items in different places. One thing that is happening is in iphoto. All my pics are there, but there are NO thumbnails visible. I have tried rebuilding the thumbnails...nothing. I have tried creating a new library...no info even transferred. Any suggestions?

    My photo stream is no longer working.  Both my icloud settings in my phone under "photos" as well as my pc icloud pictures are all set to "on" and pics are no longer uploading to photostream. What's up?

    I experienced this problem recently but was able to solve it by signing out of, then back into Photo Stream on the computer. This will temporarily remove your photos, but once you get signed back in, it will repopulate the photos. Be sure you have updated to the latest version as well.

  • Exporting sequence from Final Cut Pro 7, some clips are pixellated and bad quality, does this have anything to do with the fact that I changed those clips speed?

    Hello,
    Bit of a beginner using Final Cut Pro 7
    Am currently trying to export a sequence using quicktime conversion.  Sequence has various filters and effects over it and when I export it some of the clips are pixellated and appear to have not exported correctly.  From what I can gather the affected clips have either been slowed down or made faster.  I am wondering whether this is the reason they have not exported correctly
    Any help would be appreciated
    Cheers

    More information needed.
    Codec of material?
    Sequence settings? (codec)
    fwiw - do not use quicktime conversion. Use Export Quicktime with Current Settings enabled then do any format conversions in Compressor.

    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

  • Iphone 3g S viewing email pics are showing as blue boxes with question mark

    I am trying to view an e-mail on my iphone 3g S and the pics are not displaying. Instead little blue boxes with question marks are showing. Any ideas on why this is happening?

    The pictures couldn't be loaded due to one or more reasons. Some common reasons are: your email server timed out, the photo was taking too long to load, you had poor signal strength, the file was corrupted, the download failed, or the photo couldn't be displayed because the file type wasn't supported.

  • Imported pics are not saved

    I'm using iPhoto 11 version 9.15.
    Since a few weeks iPhoto is not saving my imported pics anymore. Each time I'm importing my pics from my iPhone or my SD card it seems to be ok. But after I restart iPhoto the next time all the pics are lost. And I have to import them again. Luck for me that I didn't delete them on the card or iPhone.
    I looked at the apple support page, but I couldn't find any software updates.
    Anyone an idea what the problem could be? I'm pretty new in the apple world, and don't have much experience in the mac system.
    Thx for your help

    Damaged database file.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • Saved PSE photoshop files are pixelated

    I've been noticing when I go back to certain PSD files, they are pixelated.  Any thoughts to why that is?  Am I saving them wrong?  I typically start in Lightroom, move to PSE, apply actions, save jpeg and/or webfile, then save psd file. 
    Help!  I've had to do a lot of rework!
    Thanks!

      It’s usually better to export your jpegs from your Lightroom Library.
    I use the following sequence:
    1) select image in Lightroom and press Ctrl+E to send to PSE (choose PSD with Lightroom settings)
    2) Edit in Elements and press Ctrl+S to save and overwrite.
    3) Press Ctrl+W to close and update Lightroom copy.
    4) With PSD still selected click Lightroom export button and choose quality, ppi and jpeg size.

  • When I open thumbnail images in another tab they are pixelated, what's wrong?

    When I go on any website with images they are pixelated. Placing the cursor over each image gives the me the option of pressing 'alt' and 'r' to refresh the image or 'alt' and 'a' to refersh the whole page. When I open a thumbnailed picture in a new tab, whether or not I've refreshed the page or the image beforehand, the image is pixelated and I can't refesh it. What's going on?

    Every time Firefox opened

    Sounds like you are using a dial-up connection along with a "web accelerator". If that is the case it is a feature of that web accelerator from your ISP. They speed up page loading by initially supplying lower quality images and giving you the option of loading the original, full resolution image from their cache with those keyboard commands. Other ISP's with a web accelerator feature use Contextual menu items, which are added to Firefox via an extension installed into Firefox.
    As far as not having the option to load the full quality image when you open it in a new Tab, I have no idea why that option doesn't appear. You should contact support at your ISP to ask about that issue.

  • Scaled a movie, after pics are too big.

    I've created a Slideshow and resized my pictures to suit the width of the timeline (1080W x 720H). Was hoping just to drag them onto new item and automatically scale the pics but this resulted in a black line along the widths; which displeased me.
    So my pics are fantastic and the Slideshow is to the beat of the music. I then added a video to the timeline, and I had to scale accordingly.
    So I managed to get the video fixed and everything's running great up until the video ends. I then import my new pics and they are far too big.
    I have a keyframe right at the end of the movie, but the pics are then far too big.
    I'm missing something really small. I am of course able to scale the remaining images down, but I have quite a few more to bring in and would rather learn what's causing this beast?
    I finished my previous video, incase you guys have any comments or suggestions to improve

    you can always send Apple a feature request with the Feedback menuItem (under the GaageBand menu) to let them know
