Sharpness and blur

I have LR5 and just suddenly the option for sharpness and blur dissapeard ( sorry for my bad english ). No triangles are left behind and I have tried everything. I have used Lightroom for many years and never come across this problem.

Is your monitor calibrated for a start.
I use the Canon Easy-PhotoPrint Pro application that came with my Pixma 9000 Pro, and it gets it right every time, and I never have to worry about Photoshop's colour management. You might already have it installed - look in File > Automate

Bridge Preview quality is not sharp and is blurred compared to PSE win

I've been using a Mac for a couple of years but to date have been running PSE 4 on Windows but I migrated this to my Mac so have been running under VMWare Fusion. This has been working great and allowed me to get up to speed with Macs gradually.
Now that PSE 8 for Mac is out, I thought I'd give this a try and bite the bullet and swap over to running PSE on the Mac. So now I see that I need to use Adobe Bridge CS4 to manage my photos, keywords, collections etc, as see that there's no 'catalog' in the Bridge - no big deal.
Previously I use 'PSE 4 Win' to run a full screen slide show and sometimes connect my Mac to my plasma TV via PC VGA connector. I was always amazed at the quality of the photos on both Mac full screen and TV.
Now I getting to know Bridge slowly and love the PSE 8 for Mac, however the Full Screen Preview (or Slideshow) quality initially looks acceptable but on closer inspection and directly comparing the rendering in 'PSE4 Win' with 'Bridge MAC' the latter is more blurred on the edges and the colors look more natural in the PSE4 Win.
I have tried right clicking the photo and 'Purge cache for selection' and looked through Preferences and did try enabling software rendering, and re-started but no difference. So now I love the new software but can't ignore the poor quality rendering. PSE8 on the Mac the quality looks better than Brdige (although colors still not that natural), AFAIK know PSE8 Mac can't be used as a full screen slideshow (I can't even find a full screen option)
I running a MacBook Pro new Aluminium for Nov 2008. So just to restate both apps are Mac and Windows are running on same Macbook.
I have attached screen grabs from both (look at the edges of grass where it meets water) - these are at fit to screen resolution (which is what I'd use for a slideshow or full screen peview).
The photo is a JPEG 4.03 MB, 3840 x 2160 , res 72 ppi, application: Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0.

Thanks for the reply, setting 'monitor size previews' has helped a great deal with the sharpness (surprised this isn't the default!)
Colours are still a little different - difficult to tell which is most realistic.
I have attached a new full screen preview.
As an aside, in desparation I did try out some of photo viewing software on Mac platform in comparison. Adobe Lightroom 2, Aperture, and Picasa all render fairly simarily, however XNView renders very close to PSE4 on Windows platform - in terms of sharpness and colours. I quite like the Bridge interface so I think, I'll stick with Bridge.

I have been saving photos that have been emailed to me. They show up in the camera roll and then I put them in separate albums. My camera roll when I try to open it freezes and the thumbprints are a jumbled and blurred. This is on my ipad.

I have been saving photos that have been emailed to me on my ipad. They show up in the camera roll, but when I open the camera roll the thumbprints are jumbled and blurred and frozen. I can't get out of there unless I shut my ipad down and restart it. I can use other parts of my ipad ,but my camera roll remains frozen....help!

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
No data will be lost.

Blocky and blurred playback of avi files in PRE8.0

I am using 64-bit Windows 7, 4GB RAM, an Intel T4300 Dual Core processor (2.10 GHZ) and an ATI Radeon HD4530 graphics card (512Md dedicated). I have the up to date ATI driver and have updated PRE 8 with the 8.0.1 fix from the Adobe site. I am using a Sony Mini DV camcorder attached to the computer by firewire.
I import my video from the camcorder into PRE 8 using capture. When video is imported it plays back very blocky and blurred on the preview screen and it is much worse on the full screen. However, when the project has been completed and burned to DVD it plays fine on TV. I have also tried playing the same video in Windows Media Player and it plays back fine with this. I may be wrong but it seems to me from this that the problem exists with the video playback facility within PRE 8.0. I have not altered any settings from the default ones set by PRE 8.0 other that to select the widescreen option when creating the project pre-sets. The camcorder is set to record the images in widescreen. I have also rendered the work area.
Are there any settngs or updates to resolve this issue? Is there a different codec I should use within PRE 8.0?
I would be grateful for any suggestions to resolve this or at least obtain reassurance that I haven't missed anything and I will, for the moment, put up with this until Adobe, or some one else, comes up with a fix.
Thanks.

A couple of things to look at, regarding playback.
1.) do your Clips have a red bar over them in the Timeline? If so, does that bar turn green, when you hit Enter? Do the Clips playback better?
2.) have you looked at changing the Magnification from Fit to 100%? Does that help? Do not know if PrE 8 has added the additional Quality setting, like PrPro has, but if it does, try both Automatic and Highest, to see if that changes things.
3.) look into Hardware Acceleration. If set to min, try max. If max, try min. If either helps, then increment, until the problem returns and then increment up/down to go back.
4.) check your OpenGL settings (probably in your ATI utility.
5.) do you have FFDShow installed (often included with CODEC packs)? That causes no end to the display problems in Adobe programs.
6.) what is your Playback setting in your Preferences?
That is about all that I can think of for now.
Good luck,
Hunt

I use images for presentations. Recently I've noticed a decrease in quality ( sharpness and definition) of pictures copied into Keynote. Same problem with both JPEGs and TIFF files. I've recently upgraded to keynote 09, but with no improvement.

I use images of paintings for presentations. Over the last 3 months or so I've noticed that I cannt copy images (either JPEg or TIFF) without a reduction in sharpness and definition. Hope someone can help with this problem.

Figured it out myself! yay! (only took my entire moring)
The solution:
Dont print to PDF!
SAVE AS COPY, then select Adobe PDF and click SAVE, this will bring up a dialog box with the options you need (including the "High Quality Print" Adobe PDF Preset)
This was not clear in any of the instructions i read

Images not appearing sharp and with posterization

Some RAW CR2 images taken with Canon EOS 1D Mk11 appear perfect when viewed in the Canon software. I can then save them as TIFFS from this software but cannot manipulate them in it. When the same RAW images are opened in Photoshop CS3, they appear un sharp and in one case there is posterization around a bright light - something that does not happen in the Canon software. Any ideas???
Thank you

Sharpness -
I would guess that the Canon software is showing you the image with an unreasonably high amount of sharpening applied. Their defaults are not good, you should reset them if you're going to use the Canon converter.
Posterization -
What you're seeing in Camera Raw is an artifact that's unique to that converter. It is the one reason I still use Capture One for images that have level 255 transitions. The Canon converter handles those transitions smoothly as well.

My SD video keeps jumping between the upper and lower frames. So the video starts frame blending and blurring in and out.

Sharpness and clarity of Photos in Slide Show lacking

I've noticed that my photos displayed by the screen saver are sharp and crisp in appearance, not so the same images viewed the the slideshow utility inside iPhoto. I don't see any preferences or settings that would modify this. Why do the pictures in the slideshow look soft and fuzzy when they are from 6mp D70 images???

My imac screen display is unfocussed, odd coloured and blurred (caused by rogue cate walking over keyboard). I have no idea what settings have changed or what to check. Any ideas?!

It could be a number of keyboard shortcuts, here's a few.
If the screen is zoomed, hold CNTL and scroll down with mouse or trackpad.
If screen looks like a negative, hold down CNTL OPT CMD and click 8.
Let us know how what other symptoms are shown.

So randomly my ipod crashed and when i turned the ipod on again it was all white and blurred. Part of the screen is up to speed but the other half is slow. Already tried turning it completely off and restoring it on the computer

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

Images 1-19 sharp and clear, images 20-138 fuzzy and pixelly ??????

I printed out a book I am working on yesterday - 138 pages. There is an image on every page. From page 1 to 19 the images are crisp and sharp and look to be the correct 300 dpi. From 20 to 138 the images are blurry and pixelly and look to be 72 dpi or less. I looked at the PhotoShop files and they are 300 dpi and I tried placing another one and it still is fuzzy.
I am assuming that I must have accidently changed a setting. Does anyone have a guess as to which one it could be? Thanks.
Loretta

Hmmmm.
I am using CS version 3.0.
Links panel shows no links 20-138.
Also no Effective resolution.
So I guess that for whatever reason they are not actually linked. I don't know why I could place them and see them but they are not really there.
I will try and re-place these this afternoon. I've been doing this for 2 years and this has never happened. Oh well.
Thanks,
Loretta

Preview, photo opened in it looks sharp and then soften 2 sec. later!

Everytime I open up a photo in Preview it looks sharp for 2 sec and then it soften right infront of my very eyes. Ther same photo looks sharp and stay sharp when open in Photoshop. Is there a bug in Preview that came with OX10? Has anyone found the same problem? I look into Preview pref and tried several tweekings. Still the same.

Hi--
You were right. When set to actual size in pref. the
previews will remain sharp but as soon as you use the
magnify glasses + or - the softening returns.
I'd suggest sending feedback to Apple about it if you'd like them to change it. It looks like they use a lower quality, faster algorithm to scale the pictures in Preview. Then they anti-alias the resulting picture. If I scale an image in Photoshop using "nearest neighbor" as the interpolation algorithm, I get results identical to what I see in Preview until it smooths out the ragged edges.
