Small pictures become pixelated

In apps such as Adium and Twitteriffic, some of the small icons become very pixelated. Any suggestions on how to fix it?

Some applications create their own previews which do not display well in Cover Flow.
Cover Flow is designed to use other applications' previews if they are provided, and some developers have not yet matched up their previews with CF.
If you go to the individual application and disable its "Save Preview" function, then Cover Flow will create the preview and it will display more accurately.
If you have an image that is not displaying correctly, open it and save with a different name and without a preview.

After iOS 5.1 update on iPhone 4, some of my pictures in the camera roll become pixelated after a crop edit?

I will elaborate. Lets say I save an image from a website. Then I go to the camera roll and edit crop it to make the image a tad bit smaller. Suddenly the images becomes pixelated and blocky. When I return to the image and tap the edit button, it becomes clear again and I can see the original picture. When I tap cancel, it goes back to beign pixelated/blocky. I tired restoring my phone to factory setting and losing all my data. That didn't work. As soon as I tested it, the same thing happened. I tried some weird method from www.iphoneincanada.ca an that didn't work either.
This is very annoying!

I have more info. I am using a program to look at the files on my iPhone. I did some testing and I came up with this. When a photo is edited ( in my case cropping) an image is created in the Metadata folder. The metadata folder is contained in a folder called PhotoData. For some reason, the cropped JPG is put within this metadata folder. The DCIM folder contains the "actual image" you saved from the internet or wherever. When a photo is edited in camer roll, a .XMP file is created for that image (Sometimes) and it's about 1kb. Coincidentally, the image that is pixelated DOES NOT have an .XMP file associated with it in the DCIM folder.
To conclude, it seems that the pictures that have a .XMP file associated with it in the DCIM folder does not come out as pixelated.
If there is a .XMP file then the photo in the Metadata folder become pixelated.

Why do my pictures become blurry after exporting from lightroom 5?

My pictures become somewhat blurry or not as sharp after I export them from lightroom 5. PLEASE HELP!!!

If you are looking at your exported pictures in preview.app than that is the culprit. It uses an extremely poor downscaling algorithm for displaying large images and will make every large image, no matter how sharp originally, display blurry. In preview you can hit command-0 (that's a zero) to make the image display 1:1 to see the actual detail. Make sure you have it's preferences in the images panel set to "Define 100% scale as 1 image pixel equals 1 screen pixel". I think in older Mac OS X versions, it was called something like ignore image dpi for display or so but I don't remember. You can also make sure to downscale (with correct output sharpening in the export panel) upon export from Lightroom. If the exported image is smaller than the display, Preview should display 1:1 by default upon opening.

Help w/ Newsletter created in Photoshop becoming pixelated when emailed

Hi all,
I created a newsletter using Adobe Photoshop. However, when I use an email client to email it out, it becomes very pixelated. I have changed the dpi and it still becomes pixelated. Currently, the newsletter is set to 100 DPi but still becomes pixelated. How would I be able to fix this? I use iContact to email the newsletter and the actual image (bc it is rather large) is hosted on Photobucket. Early thanks for the help!

Photoshop just doesn't do Newsletters very well. Even MS Word would be better. Much better. If you can use something like inDesign, or MS Publisher, and save as a PDF, your text will be perfect regardless of how much you zoom in, and it would produce a much smaller file size. Plus you can have live links (hyperlinks), or hyperlink the images to larger versions (if you have somewhere to put them online. With inDesign you can doo all sorts of wonderful things making a really impressive document that would be fun to create, and impress your readers.

Small Picture when Recorded to DVD

Hello, Many times I’ve copied TV programmes from my Sky+ disc to re-writeable DVDs via my DVD burner/player, thence to editing software - Adobe Premier Elements (APE) - on my PC, to remove advertisements etc., and then I've burnt them to blank DVDs to be shown on my TV. Basic, simple stuff and no problems ... until recently when I tried to do that with a film of about three hours length. That's longer than the programmes I usually burn to DVD from Sky, and meant that I had to set the DVD recorder to a 4-hour setting instead of the usual 2-hour or 1-hour setting, and in turn that meant that the film was recorded at a lower quality. Here’s the sequence of events:1. The film, when shown on TV from my Sky+ box, was at the normal size, i.e. it filled the (wide) screen;2. When burnt to a DVD-RW (let's call it the First DVD) and shown on TV it was still at the same size, filling the screen;3. When copied from the First DVD to APE on my PC it still filled the screen at the correct size;4. After editing on APE it was still at the same size on my PC;5. After using APE to burn it to a DVD-R (the Final DVD) it was still OK when shown on the PC by a media player; but6. When the Final DVD was shown on my TV via the DVD player, the picture had a black border around it and was exactly half the dimensions of the original Sky recording. Changing the picture ratio made no difference: the border remained and the image was smaller than the original. Since then I've tried various things with the help of someone who's cleverer than I regarding APE, but nothing has resolved the problem. However, he pointed out something strange, which was that the Sky+ box recorded to the First DVD with the frame size of 352 x 576 pixels, i.e. portrait format, not landscape, even though the film presented in landscape at every stage in the process. Would anyone have any ideas, please? Thanks, Ian

Just had FIOS installed, so I hope I am just missing some setting.
I tried out some HD movies in the VOD section. Problem is that they all play at about 1/2 size. There are black bars on the left/right AND top/bottom. In other words, I have a 16:9 picture, it is just sized at about 50% of the screen. Not to mention that the smaller picture doesn't even look that good.
SD VOD seems to work fine. Regular channels, HD and SD all play fine and fill the screen where appropriate. It is only the HD VOD content (free movies from HBO/Starz/Cinemax/etc.) that have the problem.
It this a problem with the service or is it just a setting on the DVR Box?
jrm,
This may be a silly question, but I have to ask- do you have a High Def television?

AirPlay mirroring...small picture on tv

I've looked everywhere and haven't found any mention of my problem. Hopefully someone else has seen this, and can suggest a possible fix.
I have iPad 2 and Apple TV 2 ...both successfully upgraded to iOS 5. AirPlay and mirroring also function ok...to a point. When I use the mirroring feature, I get a small picture that only fills the top left hand corner of my tv screen...not letterbox, it's full screen but small and uses only a quarter of the available screen real estate. I have an older rear projection tv that defaults to 480p...but that's ok, I've learned to live with that. The AVT2 is connected directly by HDMI. I've rebooted, reset, restored and every other possible 're'. I've also adjusted the aspect ratio on my tv set, and tried all the available resolution settings on the device. Everything else works just fine (including in-app airplayfunction). My only problem is the small iPad screen image I get on my tv screen. Anybody else have this problem? Any ideas?

I figured it out, I had the same problem and here is what I did to make my iPad full screen as opposed to only filling up about a quarter of the screen.
First I want to say that I did this on the latest update for the apple tv that just came out, so I don't know if this will work on older software.
All I did was select The Settings icon on the main menu
From there select Audio and Video and scroll all the way to the last option and select TV Resolution
If you haven't tampered with it yet the auto option should already be selected. I have a 480p TV and found that when I selected 480p-60hz I got a full screen when mirroring. I would suggest trying out all the resolutions from the bottom up and kepp checking to see if your mirroring turns to full screen after each resolution change.
Also, If you find yourself staring at a blank screen because you chose a resolution that your TV doesn't support all you'll have to do is unplug the power supply on the apple tv for a few seconds and plug it back it, this will reset the resolution to auto again.
Let me know if it works for anyone.

In putting together a book I can move photos onto a page and enlarge the picture but is there a way to reduce the picture size? some cases I want a smaller picture and if I change the size of the picture box I only get a portion of the image. I wnt to red

picture size...in putting together a book I can move photos onto a page and enlarge the picture but is there a way to reduce the picture size? some cases I want a smaller picture and if I change the size of the picture box I only get a portion of the image. I want to reduce the image to fit the size of the box.

If you right click on the image on the page in the context menu select photo box alignment and then select one of scale to fit {centered, Left-aligned, Right-aligned}
That should do what you are loking for.

Full screen mode: Picture becomes for one second blur

Now I noticed an additional strange behaviour.
I rendered all preview during the day.
I review all my pictures in full screen mode:
Open next picture
The whole picture is sharp
One second later: The picture becomes a little bit blur
An additional second later: The picture is sharp again
Open next picture: same happens again...
Open previous picture: It does not happen
Any idea?

But Bridge has a much better preview handling and better performance then Lightroom.
It does also automatically update the previews. And you don't have to invoke that manually :-(
Indeed. - I've always had a love/hate relationship with Lightroom - so cool in so many ways, and falls short in so many others...
If you're going to use it, you have to work around (or work with/within) it's limitations... - sorry.

I cannot download individual pictures from ebay. When I right click the picture (enlarged) or the small picture I don't get the option to "save picture as". Is this a firefox problem or a yahoo problem?

I always use firefox to browse the internet. When I attempt to save a picture from ebay I have always enlarged the picture, right click, the clicked "save picture as". Now when I right click I don't get that option. All it will let me do is save the entire ebay item file. When I right click on the enlarged picture, the small picture, or the white near the enlarged photo my icon choices are: 1.Copy 2. Select All 3.Yahoo 4. Search Yahoo for "Please wait imag" 5. View selection source. Is this a firefox problem or a yahoo issue? Please help. Thanks John

I've tried all kinds of different ways to make it work, and nothing! The only way I can get the pictures off ebay is open up a internet explorer window and go that route. Fire fox NEEDS to fix this NOW!

Small pictures not displaying

This is going to be hard to explain being that I have no knowledge about java and cannot attach a screen shot. I have a website that I am going to and there are small pictures that are not showing when I access the page. I spoke to someone that fixed this issue within my company and he said he configured java to encode internet case. Java was not installed on this machine prior to me working on it. I installed JRE 1.5 and this problem still persists. If it will help, the page I am unable to display is www.fldfs.com/data/aar_alis1 and the missing images are above "licensee search" and below the links at the top.

The 'small images' you are having trouble with are actually an Applet, a small java program inserted into the web page.
This is a forum for people who write Java Servlets, mini server applications designed for generating html. The problem you are having has nothing to do with the topic of this forum.
Knowing nothing about your computer, its OS, your browser, there is nothing I can do to help you. Except pass you over to http://www.java.com/en/ where installation should be painless for windows users with IE. Other OS/browser combos may take some work. But the instructions should help you through it.

The smaller picture in face time bounced around the screen and has disappeared. How can I get it back.

The smaller picture in face time bounced around the screen and has disappeared. How can I get it back.?

I take it this was during a call? Close the app and open it again.
Failing that, and when the call is over, do a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank. Be patient, the device will power ON again in the normal way. It is app and data safe!]

A small picture appears next an item

Hi,
I want to make a list of things, when I move the mouse over an item, a small picture appears next to it. when I click on an item it sends me to another scene _page_ within the flash.
I tried several ways but I couldnt figure it out.
as you noticed I am a beginner, so can you please explain it in details!
please I need help!
Thank you.

Thank u but can you please explain in a more detailed way
i selected the button and wrote as u told me but it didnt work
on (release) {
intro.onRollOver = function() {
rosee._visible = true;
intro.onRollOut = function() {
rosee._visible = false;
yourbutton.onRelease = function() {
_root.gotoAndStop("scene2");
is there a problem?

Small pictures on sites no longer appear. Tried IE and they were there.

On Amazon the small pictures on some pages don't show. The titles are there but no pictures I know it's something to do with Mozilla because I tried the same pages on Amazon using IE and the pictures appeared. I didn't change anything it just suddenly happened. I tried d/l other versions, but nothing worked including the Beta 4.

Unbelievable. After a week of beating my head on this, I managed to find the problem, and why it is specific (in particular) to Amazon.com.
Amazon calls some of its images from a third party site, AND THE SITE IS UNTRUSTED! You can check/uncheck any pretty button, tab or menu item in Firefox, and the problem will not resolve.
I fixed this by:
Using the site identity button (for details on what that is see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Site+Identity+Button) and then on More Information. This will open up the page info dialog.
Next select the Media panel, then click on the first item in the list. Use the down arrow key to scroll through the list. If any item has a non-Amazon URL, copy it into a new tab, putting it in the address bar, then go to the location.
Evidently, some of these are from an untrusted source. You may get the message box that says GET ME OUT OF HERE, or I UNDERSTAND THE RISKS. I made an exception for the site, and now all my images work again.
Now somebody needs to go back and fix the bug in the logic.

Placed EPS file becoming pixelated?

Hi, I have imported an EPS file into Indesign. When I come to export this InDesign file as a PDF the EPS is pixelated on the PDF? It looks fine in InDesign when I view it in overprint preview, but when it is PDF'd it becomes pixelated?? Also, the document will only be shown as a PDF, but it seems to have a slightly cloudy appearence to it. ( like a white frosted effect over it) The full colour is restored on the PDF when I click on Advanced / Print Production / Output Preview. Is there a way of always having it to these settings? Thanks in advance, Andy

can you start by telling us the operating system (and version) you are using, along with the version of indesign you are using?
how is the pdf being made? is it being exported to pdf and if so, what options are being selected? what happens when the options are changed?
is the EPS a photoshop file or an illustrator file? is it RGB, CMYK or LAB? what happens when you safe the EPS as something else and place the file?
put simply, from your description of the situation i can't nail it down to one thing in particular, so try playing with the above options and see if it makes any difference, and if so, what you did that solved the problem (if it gets solved of course).

Smart objects become pixelated when re-scaled?

I have Photoshop CS5.5 running on Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. When I place vector objects from Illustrator and then go to re-scale them they become pixelated. I check the Anti-alias box before commiting the place, but they still pixelate when re-scaled.
Here is a screenshot to illustrate what I mean....

Are you using the move tool or Edit>Free transform to scale?
Does it make any difference if you use Edit>Free Transform with the anti-alias checked?
Also in the photoshop Edit>Preferences>General check that the Image Interpolation is set to Bicubic.
