Screenshots pasted in PS always become blurry / low quality?!

I know many people have problems with clipboard + 64bit PS CS5. My problem however is a little different.
My screenshots seem to paste, but they all become blurry, or "low quality" if you will. I tried pasting the same image in Paint or Illustrator, they remain sharp and fine as they. Help please?

Keep in mind that all screen shots and file formats that do not have the ppi in the metadata, like a pasted image in a new document then saved is. When the ppi is not in the metadata, photoshop assumes 72ppi. The pixel dimentions are that of your screen or the cropped area is you selected a portion of the screen.
The higher the pixel dimentions, the better the quality.
In photoshop you can adjust the ppi in the image>image size menu making sure that resample is not checked. increasing the ppi will reduce the size of the image making it sharper. How sharp is totally dependant on the pixel dimentions.
Other programs may assume a different ppi value.
When pasting an image into photoshop, you will get the best result if you start with a new document using the pixel dimentions of the clipboard. Instead of pasting the image into an existing document of a different pixel dimention.
Hopefully this helps a bit and doesn't confuse the issue more.

Graphics become blurry and quality compromised after rendering

Why do my PNGs -- which are beautiful and crisp -- all go fuzzy (as well as the video even looks less crisp) after I render? If I remove one of the graphics, it sometimes corrects it. I've tried re-importing the pNGs...
Seems related to anything that goes the length of the video (my logo)...or a matte behind the green screen video.
Help please. This is a new problem, and wonder if I've messed with the settings or something without realizing it.
Thanks!

Please remove your telephone number as soon as possible to avoid nuisances. That may not be possible on your side. I will try to get a moderator to do that for you.
Smart Fix Messages
For now, when you import a file into Premiere Elements Timeline and get the Smart Fix message
a. Put a check mark next to "do not show this message again" and click No.
Whatever "fixing" needs to be done, we will do that ourselves. If you ever want to see that type of message again, you can go to Edit Menu/Preferences/General and set the preference to show that type of message.
b. Before all else, we need to have project settings consistent with the properties of what you are putting on that Timeline. The project preset selected needs to match the properties of the source media. If you have more than one format in the Timeline, then you need to set your priorities since Premiere Elements allows for only one project preset.
Project Preset
Until the problems are defined and resolved, set the project preset manually. To do that, File Menu/New/Project, set the project preset to match your primary format, select "Force Selected Project Setting on This Project", exit the area. Then back in the edit workspace, import your files with Add Media/Files and Folders.
a. It is essential that you know the properties of what is going on that Timeline...video (video compression, audio compression, frame size, frame rate, interlaced and progressive, file extension, and pixel aspect ratio), stills (pixel dimensions...for video it is the pixel dimensions that are important and which apply to the considerations), other...
You can get property information by knowing the brand/model/settings of the camera used to record the videos and/or stills or by getting properties readouts from free programs like MediaInfo or gspot

When i pause a video in FCPX the current frame becomes clear but when i press play they become blurry?

When i pause a video in FCPX the current frame becomes clear but when i press play they become blurry?

I had this SAME EXACT problem for WEEKS! >_<
It was so frustrating. I tried everything I could. I was even using uncompressed video files (+60GB in size!) to try to fix the problem, but nope. Nothing. Except this...
Go to:
Preferences -> Playback -> Playback Quality and select "High Quality"
By default, FCPX uses the lower quality setting to save resources.
"...Playback Quality pop-up menu to choose whether to always use the highest-quality video for playback or downsized video for better playback performance"

Why is text become blurry and out of focus?

Why is text become blurry and out of focus?

I am confused what device you are talking about. You question is here in the Using iPhone section, but it is marked for your MacBook Pro running iOS 6? If you are talking about an iPhone and you never update your profile to say you are running iOS 7, I would blame the paralax feature that slightly zooms into your picture, making certain low-res photos look extra blurry. Hope this helps.

BUG: Rectangles inside FW symbols become blurry/misaligned

There seems to be a problem with the use of Rectangles within Symbols in Fireworks CS6, CS5 and earlier.
The problem is that they become blurry. More exactly, they become repositioned within the symbol—aligned to the half-pixel—and their edges become anti-aliased as a result. For example, here's a series of rectangles that I'd created on the canvas to visualize a set of color swatches:
Here's the same set of rectangles after having been saved as a Symbol and imported into another document:
At first I thought this was a problem with Symbols in general, but then I discovered that it only occurred with Rectangles—a.k.a. "rectangle primitives", which are a special kind of grouped vector object created using the Rectangle tool—and only when the contents of the Symbol in which they resided had a pixel width or height ending in an odd number (i.e., 1, 3, 5, 7 or 9).
THE PROBLEM
Here's what I've observed, in greater detail. Start with two Rectangles, 99 x 99 pixels—one with a stroke only, the other with a fill only. Select the first Rectangle and choose Modify > Symbol > Convert to Symbol, and then do the same for the second. Save the file. Everything looks OK, right?
Now close the file, and reopen it. Have a look at the thumbnail previews within your Document Library. They look a little... fuzzy, yes?
Click on the name of one of the symbols in the Document Library to open the Symbol Properties dialog, and then click OK. Now look on the canvas...
Yikes. The symbol instance containing the stroked Rectangle (on the left) has become quite blurred. Now, back within the Document Library panel, click on the thumbnail preview of the other symbol to enter Edit Symbol mode, and then return to the document canvas...
Yikes again. The symbol instance containing the fill Rectangle (on the right) has also become blurred—horizontally, in this case. They both look worse now.
Note that it's not the instances nor their placement on the canvas that's the problem—you can move them anywhere on the canvas, and they'll still look just as bad—but the symbols themselves. Double click on one of the symbols to enter Edit Symbol mode and select the rectangle. Its X-Y position in the Properties panel will look normal, but if you open the Transform panel extension (http://www.senocular.com/fireworks/extensions/?entry=572), you'll see the real story: The rectangle has been re-aligned to the half-pixel.
Importantly, the trigger here isn't the dimensions of the rectangle, per se, but of the symbol contents as a whole. If the symbol contents have an even-numbered dimension, alignment remains crisp and pixel-perfect along that dimension; if the symbol contents have an odd-numbered pixel dimension, a blurry misalignment occurs. For example, here's a series of "even" rectangles (20 x 20 pixels) that, with their single-pixel spacing, comprise an odd-numbered selection (125px), shown before and after symbol conversion:
Incidentally, the same problem reveals itself when you import these symbols into another document using the Import Symbols command within the Document Library options menu.
THE FIX
The patch for this bug, once it's occurred, is to edit the symbol. In Edit Symbol mode, select all objects—or just the misaligned Rectangle objects—and choose Modify > Snap To Pixel.
The fly in the ointment here is that, in many cases, the original alignment is not preserved. The rectangles may now be misaligned in relation to other objects in the symbol, as well as to other objects on the canvas. Therefore, to finish the job, you may need to also nudge the rectangle(s) by a pixel horizontally or vertically using the keyboard arrow keys.
The good news is that once a symbol has been fixed using Snap To Pixel, its alignment and clarity should remain fixed.
THE WORKAROUND
The surest way to avoid this issue, of course, is to avoid including Rectangles in your symbols—not the geometric shape, but the grouped vector object as it's created by the Rectangle tool. Therefore, prior to converting a selection to a symbol, check for any Rectangles within the selection and ungroup them using the Modify > Ungroup command, which will convert them into simple paths, unaffected by this bug. (Chances are, by the time you're converting these objects to symbols, you won't need the fluid resizing or adjustable rounded corners that Rectangle objects offer; the trick will be remembering to perform this extra step.)
THE BUG REPORT
Lastly, here's the bug report that I submitted to Adobe regarding this issue:
Product name: Fireworks
Product Version: 12.0.0.236
Product Language: English
Your operating system: Mac OS 10.6.8
******BUG******
Concise problem statement: Rectangles within Symbols become blurry if the width or height of the symbol contents is an odd number (e.g., 21, 23, 25, 27, 29, etc.). The blurriness is caused by misalignment of Rectangles on the half-pixel within the symbol, and becomes apparent upon closing and reopening the document and either a) viewing the symbol's Document Library thumbnail preview, or b) clicking to view Symbol Properties or to Edit Symbol. It can also be observed upon Importing the symbol into the Document Library of another document.
Steps to reproduce bug:
In an open FW document, draw a Rectangle and set the width and/or height to an odd number (e.g., 99 x 99 pixels).
Select the Rectangle and Convert to Symbol.
Save and close the document.
Reopen the document. In the Document Library, double-click the symbol name to open the Symbol Properties dialog, and click OK. (Or double-click the symbol preview to Edit, and then return to the document canvas.)
Results: The Symbol instance appears blurry on the canvas. (The Symbol itself also appears blurry within Edit mode.)
Expected results: The Symbol should appear as it was originally created, without a loss of clarity or change in alignment.
Note that this bug can occur whether a rectangle's dimensions are even or odd; the determining factor is the dimensions of the symbol contents as a whole. However, the bug affects Rectangles only; it has not been observed with paths, ellipses, auto shapes, bitmaps, or groups.
The Transform panel extension was used to view the precise pixel alignment of objects and determine the cause of the blurriness.
For more information, including graphic demonstrations and workarounds, please see the following forum post: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1073489?tstart=0
This bug has also been observed in Fireworks 8 and CS5 on Mac OS 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard).
POSTSCRIPT
Amazingly, this bug can also affect Symbol instances on the canvas that have been "broken apart". To see this for yourself, create a symbol like one of the preceding examples, select the symbol instance on the canvas and choose Modify > Symbol > Break Apart. Save and close the file, then reopen it. The "broken apart" instance on the canvas will now appear blurry/misaligned(!).

Thanks, Petros_!
That's good input. If this issue is important to you, consider submitting your own bug report. Feel free to copy and paste from mine, if it helps. (Just be sure to verify all results on your own setup first.)
Whenever possible, I'm trying to post bug reports on this forum in addition to submitting them to Adobe. Partially, this is to allow me to include graphics or go into slightly more detail, and partially it's to make bug reporting more transparent—to raise awareness of known issues among fellow users and reduce duplication of effort, to create a record, and to increase public visibility of these issues. It also allows for corrections or additions to be made by myself or other users.
However, it's not a true bug reporting system. So we don't know whether the Fireworks team has looked at this yet, whether it has been or will be assigned to someone, or whether your comment on this thread will be read by anyone on the Fireworks team.
Nevertheless, it is quite an investment of time tracking down a bug and writing it up like this, so I appreciate the kudos!

I publish a 41mb InDesign newsletter monthly into interactive pdf. It always becomes a file size of 4mb, 10% of original, when I save to pdf. This month my newsletter is 41mb and it drops to 11mb, 25% of original. I have re-sized all pictures, deleted pages separately, have gotten the file size down to 16mb and it drops to 7mb, 45% of original.
I have gone back and saved Feb and March and it saves to 10% of original, as it did before, and I use the same mechanism to save now.
I have gone to Acrobat Pro and optimized down to 8.8mb, but the quality is not acceptable.
What other variable is there that I haven't discovered?

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

Sharp Photo When Placed in Indesign, Text becomes Blurry...

I have a Photo (with Sharp Text) that when Placed in InDesign, the Text Becomes Blurry (as in Unreadable)...
What's Up with that? And, more Importantly, what can I do to Correct? Thanks (can attach if needed)

Is this on screen or in print? Check Display Performance. Right-click on the image to change the display performance of only that image, or use the View menu to change the Display Performance of the document. Higher display quality generally slows the program down, although it can be slight. If the text is a text layer in Photoshop consider saving as Photoshop PDF. This will keep the file fully editable in Photoshop but the text will be vector paths in the PDF, rather then rendered raster art at the image's resolution.

Photos become blurry when saved on safari

Hi,
I am using the 32GB iTouch, and whenever I use Safari and find an image I want to save, it usually is blurred and very low quality. Almost like it saved a thumbnail instead of the full resolution image.
On a rare occasion, the photo might come out clear and in full resolution, while many don't.
I was unsure why the photos saved from Safari are low quality thumbs, was it meant to be this way? is there any way to make the itouch save the full resolution image, rather then a thumbnail of the image?
Thanks.

Firstly it doesn't matter what size the image is, even if it's the standard ipod touch screen size, it will still display blurry. It's a bug. This is a pathetic limitation and should be an embarrassment to the company.
Secondly, the issue happens even when you've saved the image from Mail. That being said, if you were to open up Twinkle, and share this blurry photo with the world, they will see it as clear and perfect as all getup. Then if you go and look at your photo in Twinkle you will see that the image is clear, and yet still blurred in your photo container on the ipod.
You're trying to tell me that this thing that can support running 3d applications and games is so inferior that it can't display a image without time traveling back to 1988?
Give me a break, Apple better fix this. It makes them look cheap.

Why do images become blurry after resizing in lightroom?

Please help.
I do not know why the images are becoming blurry after resizing them in lightroom and exporting them?
Any advice?
Thanks.

What pixel dimensions are you resizing them down to and what quality setting and sharpening settings are you specifying in the Export panel?

Hi. I Have a Pavilion dv9000 which has always had very low volume - really needs to be increased?

Hi. I Have a Pavilion dv9000 with Vista Ultimate 64. It has always had very low volume and I find I generally have to have the volume up into the 70's 80's as well as the onscreen media player slider almost full - which then gets all distorted - and then have to turn it down again when not using the player as the computer error beeps come screaming out., Ive checked the settings on speakers to make sure all are the same & balanced and also have updated any codecs as needed. Is there a sound lever setting elsewhere?
cheers

Thanks for the reply and peeling my post off Mike, sorry I didn't start my own initially.
Well @ 1333Mhz I was using the rated timings 9-9-9-24 (as per Corsair) but it wasn't very stable as I said.
I have since changed the FSB/RAM ratio to get 1066Mhz and it seemed much happier. (@1.5v) It would be nice to run the RAM at it's rated setting but my OC skills aren't that extensive. I imagine it would need alot of tweeking? Or could I have just relaxed the timings a bit?
Would removing the Switch Cards make any difference?
Thanks in advance.

Creating that blur using my brush my entire image changes too and becomes blurry. Not only that but the area I painted also becomes over exposed. What can I do am I missing something here all I want is to blur a section and not change the rest of the area

Creating that blur using my brush. When I paint the area, which highlights in red, I bring the clarity down to create more of that blur but what ends up happening is that my entire image changes too and becomes blurry. Not only that but the area I painted also becomes over exposed. What can I do am I missing something here all I want is to blur a section and not change the rest of the area I am painted by automatically becoming over exposed. Does anyone else have this problem that can help me?

Do you think I should try to find a cheap mobo to OC my current CPU? How about trying to find one (mobo) used? I fear that my only realistic choice will be to scrap the CPU and eventually buy a new mobo and CPU, but as the CPU was only released just under two years ago I would value being over to overclock it with a cheap enough mobo to last me another year or so.
Who knows what additional problems may be run into by switching mainboards & such. The OS would have to be reinstalled fresh, etc. Money wise, it wouldn't make a lot of sense to invest more into a system that is rather outdated. The small performance gain making the switch to another board using the CPU you have, just doesn't really make much sense, especially if what you have now is completing the tasks asked of it. Save up some money, set it aside for a future build. There are plenty of new platforms in the works.

Prior to importing photo's should the thumbnails be of a low quality such that they are blurry?

Prior to importing photo's should the thumbnails be of a low quality such that they are blurry?
I have recently started to use lightroom and when selecting a folder to import from my hard drive the thumbnails are of (in my opinion) very low quality. Once they are imported they are fine, is this correct?

The import dialog is there to help you locate And identify the images that you want to import. They are not high quality previews. You shouldn't consider using the import dialog to determine the quality of any image. Use it to identify your images and get them imported. Then let Lightroom generate its own previews.

How can I scale an image without it becoming blurry?

I'm following this tutorial on youtube and I'm doing everything he says, but when I scale the image it becomes blurry on mine and his was still perfect.

Rick is correct, but there are some features that can give better results than the default scaling:

http://blogs.adobe.com/aftereffects/2013/06/bicubic-resampling-for-improved-scaling-and-ot her-transformations-in-after-effects.html
By the way, it helps if you give a lot more information when asking a question. We have no idea what you've tried so far, and we don't even know what version of After Effects you're using.

When I move high quality clips into my timeline in Final Cut Express HD, they look and export low quality. I have tried converting the clips and de-interlacing them, but they always look the same, What is the problem? Thanks so much.

You should check that the Project settings match the clip settings before editing them to the Timeline.
Only newly created Projects will change not existing ones by adjusting the Project settings.
If, for example, you have a Project set to NTSC DV you can only end up in trouble if the clips are PAL 1920 x 1080i.
