Strange image sharpening problem

Hallo folks, I've been tasked to work with a developer on an iPhone app in development. I've never developed for iOS before so this is probably a really easy on to solve.
Basically I've created a standard png-24 image with alpha and we're using it in the app but it's not displaying properly. It seems that somewhere in the compile process it's being sharpened somehow. We've used images created in the exact same fashion throughout the app but only this one is creating a problem.
In the screenshot linked here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1766697/lovefresh/comparison.png
you can see the png as it appears in interface builder (on the left) and on the iphone (on the right).
The image is not interactive in any way and it's placed in interface builder at it's native resolution. The image also has an @2x version which displays fine, although I have wondered if maybe the app is mistakenly loading the double sized version and scaling it down. either way, I've tried placing the image elsewhere and it appears to work fine so I'm baffled as to what's going wrong here.
Any help appreciated.
Cheers

Well, assuming this is an honest question then you need to go to the apple icon top left, click it, then click system preferences from the drop down, and then select energy saver from the menu that appears. You can adjust how long it takes before your mac automatically switches off your display there.
I don't really see how posting in the Developer forums is relevant for basic tech support. Unless of course you're doing so to highlight the stupidity of my question.

Strange Image creation Problem

hi@all
Just now i got a problem with Image creation.
Alert a;
try {
Image m = Image.createImage("/" +Words[CurrentPage*8+i]+".jpg");
a = new Alert(Words[CurrentPage*8+i], "", m, AlertType.INFO);
a.setTimeout(Alert.FOREVER);
display.setCurrent(a);
     } catch (IOException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
then i got an exeption as following:
java.io.IOException
     at javax.microedition.lcdui.ImmutableImage.getImageFromStream(+15)
     at javax.microedition.lcdui.ImmutableImage.<init>(+20)
     at javax.microedition.lcdui.Image.createImage(+8)

     at com.sun.midp.lcdui.DefaultEventHandler$QueuedEventHandler.run(+250)
I put the images into directory res, and when i print out the image path, it is correct. I rewrite
Image m = Image.createImage("/" +Words[CurrentPage*8+i]+".jpg");
like this Image m = Image.createImage("/myImage.jpg"); then it works!
I can not find any clue to solve this problem, totally confused.
Can anyone help me?
Thank u all in advance!!!!

RAW Image Sharpening in Lightroom

Hi,
I have been shooting in Camera RAW for some time but just learned that the sharpening in the develop module is for RAW Image Sharpening and not for output sharpening. My problem is I have lots of images that I have already processed with lightrooms develop module.
To get the best images, do I need to go back and reset the develop module settings on an image, apply the RAW sharpening, then re-apply the develop module settings? Or is lightroom smart enough to allow me to apply the RAW sharpening after I have "developed" the photo and still get the same results?
Thanks in advance to anyone that knows the answer to this one!

Your right, it should, but that does not mean it does. What I am asking is will to get the best results, should I apply the RAW image sharpening FIRST. Will that give better results then applying it later or last.

So you believe the RAW Image sharpening is optional?
I was trying to point out that if you were happy with the image
before, you could just leave them as they are. If you feel that
applying the sharpening makes the image better, then using it would be
a help. And since you say:
>I created a virtual copy, reset the settings on it, applied RAW Image Sharpening, then applied my development settings. The image looked way better doing that then applying no RAW Image sharpening
then I'd say you probably want to apply the sharpening, since it
sounds like you would be happier with this much better image.
My point was that some people learn a fact, or a different method, and
automatically decrease their happiness and satisfaction with their
prior efforts. In your case, sounds like you've tested the new method,
and like the results better. To me, that would indicate that I should
start using this new method in future. Depending on how much you like
the improvement will determine whether you spend the time and go back
and re-process your (already completed) images.

Strange image border / bright edges on full screen preview

Hi,
I'm getting strange image borders on full screen preview. I've taken a photo to show this effect. Its noticebly wider on the left and right edges compared to top and bottom. Anyone know how to turn this border off?
http://www.oriontransfer.co.nz/Projector/IMG_2307.jpg
I've often noticed it, but its become more of a problem because I've just bought a 720p projector to display some photographs. I think the low resolution exacerbates the problem.
Regards,
Samuel

I've added one more image of the top right hand corner. I've boosted the contrast to clearly show the problem. This problem is not just on the projector, it can also be seen on my new MacBook Pro LCD screen.

Problem: codebase, jar and image reloading problem please help!

Hi Java Gurus,
I have written an applet that extends JApplet for viewing webcam. In order to reduce the download time I put my classes into a doorcam.jar file. The following is my <applet> tag in my html file.
<applet code="CameraApplet.class"
archive="doorcam.jar"
codebase = "webcam/classes"
width="375" height="475">
<param name="imagePath" value="http://judge/webcam/images">
<param name="webCamImage" value="door.jpg">
<param name="COMPort" value="COM2">
<param name="frameRate" value="10"> 
<param name="host" value="judge">
</applet>
The fist problem is that my class file does not get loaded from the jar file if i provide the "codebase" attribute as above. Instead the browser load every single class file from the webserver. This has some problem too. Coz the browser sometimes just thorough NullPointerException or ClassNotFoundException. After much of debugging I found out that the problem is the IE browser which seldom fails to load classes or image file from the server. If i referesh the browser the applet and all its classes loaded successfully and runs smoothly. This behaviour never occurs when running with "appletviewer".
I wanted all my classes to be loaded from my jar file. After much of trial and error I found out that if i remove "codebase" attribute the browser loads the classes from my jar file and applet loads very fast. This is where the second problem comes in. The browser does not reload my webcam image file so that the webcam become alive with live images, like before.
If I run on "appletviewer" everything works fine my web cam is displayed properly. But in IE browser the image does not get reloaded when I refresh my image to give live to my webcam display. The refresh method is given below.
private void refresh(final URL url) {
Image webCamImage =getImage(url);
webCamImage.flush(); // flush out the previous image
webCamImage = getImage(url); // get a new image
webCamImageIcon.setImage(webCamImage); webCamImageIcon.paintIcon(webCamLabel, webCamLabel.getGraphics(), 15, 15);
When I add the "codebase" attribute back, the image gets reloaded for every refresh() and everything works fine. But the classes are also loaded from the server. And occasionally also suffers Class loading and image loading problem. As I presented earlier, when I do refreshing in the browser everything gets loaded and the applet function correctly with web cam displaying very well.
The problem is so strange that I could not find any way to solve it.
It would be a great help to me if somebody provide me some work around to the problem.
I tested on Windows 2000, Windows XP, IE 5.5, IE 6 with J2SDK 1.4.0.
Thank you all very much in advance.
best regards,
Judge

Thank you so much for the suggestions. I did tried the way u suggested. The problem still the same.
I think its the problem between IE browser and Java Plug-in.
I which SUN would find these incompatibilities and solve these problems.
I even tried using java SDK and plug-in 1.4.1 it even worst. It can't even load an applet. And it does not show any loading messages nor any error messages. It just show a cross sign on the upper left coner.
I would be so glad, if Sun would try to eliminate the inconsistancies such as caching, loading, initializing etc between browser and its Java plug-In. For example, applets behave well in appletviewer and behave unpredictably in browser environment.
I have seen so many people in the forums with all sorts of problems because of this.
Right now I m desperately looking for work around to my problem.
If somebody would provide me with the solution to my problem it would be a great help to me.
thank you all so much.
best regards,
Judge

My iMac 27" Late 2012 has Image Persistence Problem

I'm wondering what to do about an annoying image persistence problem on my 27" late 2012 iMac. I got the iMac just a few days ago. Monday actually, so 4 days ago.
It's the 3.4GHz i7, 8GB, NVIDIA 680MX 1TB fusion drive model.
Overall it has become the love of my life, but the image persistence thing is getting harder to ignore. This happens after only a few minutes of use. If I follow Apple's instruction on dealing with LCD image persistence, I can make it go away for a while, but it comes back very quickly.
It is extremely noticeable on a plan dark background. It looks as thought he screen has been left on for a very long time with the same windows open, but it occurrs in less than 5 minutes of use with nothing more intense than a bit of web surfing.
I've read that this is happening a great deal on these new iMacs, particularly teh 27" machines.
While the problem seems to be known to those of us afflicted I don't know if Apple has acknowledged an issue or not.
Here is a sample of the complaints: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1509571
I can make the ghost image vanish by bringing up an all white scree for a minute or so or using LCD Scrub.
I'm wondering if anyone else has foun a solution other than asking for a replacement computer, which Apple seems to be granting on this issue?

If you cannot resolve the issue yourself, then return the computer for a replacement. You may do this freely within 14 days from date of purchase, so don't delay.

Strange images suddenly apprearing

Strange images.. A girl with bleeding teeth suddenly appeared in my gallery.
I dont have any idea how this photo can appear in my gallery.
did this happen before?

They may be images that were in web pages you visited, and got cached in the browser's cache. They could have been in areas of the page that you did not pay attention to, or did not scroll down to, so you would not necesarily remember them.

SSRS indicator image display problem!!

Hello ALL;
I am having problem with displaying indicator image in DEV report manager. but same rdl works in QA environment. Both server has SP1 installed. Any Idea? Appreciate for your help. Thanks,

Hi Techchi,
Based on the limited information, I cannot figure it out for this issue. As per my understanding, I think this issue can be caused by the browser that run the report manager. If you use IE explorer to render the report, I suggest that you can try to run
it in compatibility mode. If you are using another browser, I recommend that you should use IE explorer to render the report to check the issue again.
If this issue still exists, in order to solve the problem more efficiently, I need to clarify some information.
Are all reports with indicator image cannot render well in DEV report manager? Or just this one report?
What is the phenomenon about the indicator image display problem? Could you please post a screenshot about this?
It is benefit for us to do further analysis. Thank you for your understanding.
Thanks,

Having a image alignment problem using clearbox

Hi,
I'm having an image alignment problem. I cannot figure it out. I'm using the clearbox - lightbox dreamweaver widget. Using Dreamweaver CS6.
Actual page located here. Any help would be appreciated.
http://dirtysouthink.com/gallery/dustin2.html

This has very little to do with Dreamweaver. DW is merely a tool to assist you in building a web site. It is purely a matter of styling (CSS).
When I look at the structure, I see
BODY-CONTENT (width: 490px)
     GALLERY (width: 452px)
          CONTAINER (width: 500px)
               ITEM (width: 150px)
From this I can deduce that:
GALLERY will fit inside BODY-CONTENT
CONTAINER will NOT fit inside GALLERY or BODY-CONTENT
ITEM will fit three times into CONTAINER
To start with, I would reduce the size of the CONTAINER so that it fits inside of its parent. Then I would adjust the width of the ITEM so that only two of them fit inside of the CONTAINER.

How to solve the image display problem in the iTunes Store

Hi guys!
I just want to give a work-around for all of you having the image display problem in the iTunes Store. In my case only the square images in the slider sections won't load:
I had this in my last W7-installation and got it again in W8 after the first few weeks.
There are a lot of reports about this problem out there and adhoc solutions like 'clear the cache' or 'reinstall and drink ice tea' that do not work. It is obviously a file request error. It is all about finding out which server addresses get blocked by your computer.
Solution: Go to your firewall and your Anti-virus-program. There must be a whitelist option. In Kaspersky, check the web-options, the banner-options and the firewall-options, because the all have whitelists. The following addresses have to be whitelisted:
*.apple
*.mzstatic.apple.com.akadns.net
*.mzstatic.com.edgesuite.net
*.da1.akamai.net
*.itunes.apple.com
se.itunes.apple.com
upp.itunes.apple.com
ax.init.itunes.apple.com
xp.apple.com
*.mzstatic.com
client-api.itunes.apple.com
www.apple.com.edgekey.net
www.isg-apple.com.akadns.net
Press Ctrl + R in the iTunes Shop then and browse throught the music sections. All images should be displayed correctly now.
If not, there might be more Apple servers involved in your case. You can find them by running a DNS sniffing tool like the DNS query sniffer by Nirsoft or Wireshark.

Phone restarting randomly could be loose battery. Tighten by putting a small strip of electrical tape on the back edge.
THE BITTERNESS OF POOR QUALITY, LINGERS LONG AFTER THE CHEAPNESS OF PRICE, IS SOON FORGOTTEN.

Strange images in iphone backup

I went into my iphone backup files today looking for something and stumbled upon numerous strange images. These are not in my camera roll, and I have never seen them before today. They look like stock photos, and some have an image credit in the bottom left corner that includes Flickr and Getty images. They're very random, one is a picture of a road leading up to a mountain, one is of a plane's wing in the air, another is almost like a mug shot of an elderly woman, there's an image of a doctor or dentist coming near the camera with a tool? I'm so confused where these came from and how they got backed up.
If anyone can tell me what these are, and if I can delete them from my backup to save some space it would be much appreciated

Image reading problem in servlet

Image reading problem in servlet
I am reading an image in servlet and writing it to ServletOutputStream
The following code works fine unless I change the size of the byte array (for increasing download speed) from 8 to something like 128 or any other higher value
If I change the value of byte array size the image does not get downloaded properly, I mean the quality of the image changes, it does not looks like the original imageURL url = new URL("http://www.mysite.com/images/img1.jpg");
URLConnection con = url.openConnection();
con.setUseCaches(false);
BufferedInputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(con.getInputStream());
BufferedOutputStream out = new BufferedOutputStream(response.getOutputStream());
byte b[] = new byte[8];
while(in.read(b) != -1)
     out.write(b);
     out.flush();
out.close();
in.close();what do I change
byte array size
or use the constructor of BufferedInputStream with 2 parameter
or use the constructor of BufferedOutputStream with 2 parameter
or use flush outside while loop or what else

Change your while loop to:
int count;
while((count = in.read(b)) != -1)
     out.write(b, 0, count);
     out.flush();
}The penultimate time read is called, it may not fill the entire byte array. You only want to write out however much was read into the array.
For better performance, you should move the flush() outside of the loop too. BufferedOutputStream will flush automatically when its internal buffer is full.

Image refresh problem

hi, i have an image inside an iframe that i'm trying to
change upon the click of a button. i use the following code:
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function swapImage(intImage){
var
imgs=["images/pic0.jpg","images/pic1.jpg","images/pic2.jpg","images/pic3.jpg","images/pic 4.jpg",
"images/pic5.jpg"];
parent.frames['cont'].document.getElementById('mgmnt_pic').src =
imgs[intImage];
alert(parent.frames['cont'].document.getElementById('mgmnt_pic').src)
</SCRIPT>
then in body:
<p><a href="javascript:; "
onclick="frames['cont'].swapImage(0);">Management
Team</a></p>
i know from the alert that it is changing the source of my
image, the problem is that the image itself is not changing at all.
has anyone experienced this before? what can i do to fix it?
