The images in Photoshop or InDesign improperly anti-aliased, looking fuzzy

I've bought Late 2013 Retina Macbook Pro with Mac OS Mavericks, and am having trouble with anti-aliasing.
In short, the images/documents open in Photoshop or InDesign are improperly anti-aliased and look fuzzy.
I can understand why the menu bars and stuff should appear fuzzy and blurry as a result of auto anti-aliasing; otherwise they might appear too small for eyes to see since the resolution is super high.
But why should the machine want to blow up the images or documents inside the application and apply anti-aliasing to make them look so fuzzy?
It would be grateful if there's a way to stop my computer doing the anti-aliasing all the stuff on screen.

No, not that I know of - you do need to make certain that you're using the very latest versions of both apps, though.

  • How can i make a photo that is 10 x 6.6 to 10 x 8 without changing the image in Photoshop CS3?

    How can I make a photo that is 10 x 6.6 to 10 x 8 without changing the image in Photoshop CS3?

    I could be snarky and say change the image in a different version of Photoshop, but NO...
    The only way to make a photo that is one size into another size is to change the image.  You have a few choices about how to change it:
    One way is to simply expand the height from 6.6 to 8 inches using Image>Canvas Size, using the default setting of having the image centered and leaving the background either black or white, your preference.  This will add background color to the top and bottom of your image.  This won't change the image itself, but it will change its surroundings.
    Another way is to resize the image using Image>Image Size, entering the new dimensions after turning off the aspect ratio lock (resample on).  This will stretch the image vertically, however, so it's probably not a good option.
    Finally, you could resize the image using Image>Image Size, leaving the aspect ratio lock on and resample on, and increase the height from 6.6 to 8.  This will have the secondary effect of enlarging the width from 10" to a greater width.  Then you crop the resulting image back down to 10" width, which involves losing some edge areas of the image.

    If the images belong to you or you are using images that you were given permission to use such as public domain images. The other requirement (as far as I know) is photoshop is not the student/teacher version.
    There is an eula on the main web page of Adobe that you can read. Just search for it. Be specific with the search for example eula for lightroom or eula for Photoshop CC 2014.

  • When using Final Cut Express, the video in the Viewer window looks fine, but when I insert the video into the Canvas Timeline it appears to lose resolution, and look fuzzy and blurry. Are there preferences or settings for the Timeline that cause this?

    When using Final Cut Express, the video in the Viewer window looks fine, but when I insert the video into the Canvas Timeline it appears to lose resolution, and look fuzzy and blurry. Are there preferences or settings for the Timeline that cause this?

    Thanks David. I had to convert the mts file to Quick Time (using AunSoft Conversion software) before I could import it into Final Cut Express. And I made sure I kept the size of movie (720 X 480 with letterbox) to compliment what I set my Panaconic AVCCAM video recorder at (720/60). Even after I fully render it, it still looks fuzzy in the Canvas window at the right that plays what I have editing down in the Timeline. A friend that edits some using Final Cut Pro helped me to narrow things down to this problem. This is also wierd. If my Viewer window at the left is set to 200% to get the person's head the same size in the Canvas window at the right we needed to put it to 400%. Does this make any sense. We think we need to control the Time line resolution somehow but cannot find any options from my manual, or the help, or in the various drop down menus. Do you have any clue? What is going on?

  • What's best: placing images in Photoshop or InDesign?

    Hi guys
    Since I hear different things about creating for example posters etc. is this my question: What do you think is best to do when designing a poster or flyer (or whatever) with a nice background, bursh effects, pictures and text?
    I do it like this right now:
    Create the background in Photoshop
    place the background.psd in InDesign
    add the adjusted images of the artists etc. in InDesign
    add text in InDesign
    Save as PDF
    Some say creating the whole poster or design in Photoshop (even cutting out the pictures of the artists and rasterizing them) is better than placing each of them separately in InDesign?
    Anyone who has a good website or explanation for me to answer my question? Tips and tricks are welcome!
    Thanks!

    If the background is the same behind all images then you better do it in Photoshop because the file size of the background itself  when flatten will be similar with or without all images added on top of it. Other reasons that you may choose to do it as separate images is if you want the different images with different resolutions, for example if the background is some blurry clouds or some abstract gradients you don't really need to be very high resolution and if the images on top have some fine details you may decide to have them with higher resolution. The other consideration is if you want more flexibility with the composition in inDesign in case of eventual changes. So, it all depends on different things. The text you should do in inDesign.

  • How to fit the images within textframe in indesign using javascript?

    Hi,
    We are using the update script for updating the values in table.
    If i am using images within textframe, the table is not fitting after updating it. Without using images the table is fitting.
    First i have dragged the table in Indesign document. Then i have altered the image size and updated the table using Update script.
    Finally i want to fit the table with the resized images.
    Note: I can get the updated values in table . but i cannot get the resized images.( Now i can get the original image after updating the table)
    Please help me if anyone has idea regarding this issue.
    Thanks,
    Vimala L

    Hi,
    Please find below the Update Script,
    var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
    var updateOption = app.scriptArgs.get("updateOption");
    main();
    function main()
    if(updateOption=="UPDATE")
      UpdateLink();
    function UpdateLink()
    myDoc = app.activeDocument;
    myLinks = myDoc.links;
    for (j = myLinks.length - 1; j >= 0; j--)

      var ext =  myName.substring(myName.length-3,myName.length) ;
    if (myLinks[j].status == LinkStatus.linkOutOfDate)
    myLinks[j].update();
    After running this script i cannot get the image in table.
    While running the Fitting script followed by Update script i am getting the Original size of the image. But i want the re-sized image in table.
    Fitting Script:
    var textFitoption= app.scriptArgs.get("textFitOption");

  • Saved image differs from the image in Photoshop CS5

    Im having an issue with how my images look after i save them. The images are coming out lighter and with less contrast. I am running Photoshop CS5 on a Macbook Pro that is running OSX 10.6.8. I know this question has probably come up many times, but if someone can help me with this issue it would be greatly appreciated.

  • Photoshop CS4 Brushes not Anti Aliasing properly

    I've just set up CS4 and my brushes are not anti aliasing properly. There are no soft edges on any of them. I'm able to get a pressure sensitive opacity change on the stroke but the edges are all pixelated.
    Here is an image (this is a soft brush. notice none of the feathering/anti aliasing is there):
    http://craji.com/images/adobeproblem.jpg
    I've updated the newest gpu drivers for my Nvidia 8800 GTS.
    I'm running XP SP3 with dual monitors. An Apple 30" and a Cintiq 21"
    I've tried placing the main photoshop window on both monitors (one at a time) to test if that was causing it and i've had no luck.
    All of the options in my GPU Enabled are currently unchecked (since they were giving me lag issues on my brush stroke when they were checked).
    Any help (even linking me to something similar in this forum) is greatly appreciated.
    Cheers-

    Definitely not file dependent. I'll open a photo in sRGB 8bit, or create a new document with any settings from cmyk/rgb/bw 8/16 etc.
    I'm wondering if it has something to do with my Nvidia Display Property utility. I use it to gamma up my secondary monitor (cintiq). Although disabling that utility didn't resolve it..
    I'll try uninstalling and reinstalling tonight if no one is having similar problems. Maybe that will fix it.

  • Moving images from Photoshop to Indesign (CS4)

    Hi,
    I've designed a badge in Photoshop and want to add the graphic to my indesign project. But when I import the graphic it gets a white background by default when I want it to be transparent. I know there is a way but I've forgot!
    Thanks
    James

    What file format have you saved it as?
    PSD or TIF can have transparent backgrounds.
    When you save as TIF make sure you check the box for Preserve Transparency.
    If you have a white background in your image already, but have drawn a clipping path, then when you import the TIF file check the Show Options
    You'll see this when you go to File>Place (show options is in the bottom left hand corner of the dialog box).
    You should have the option to invoke the photoshop clipping path there.
    If you have already placed your image with a photoshop clipping path then you can use the Object>Clipping Path>Options and select the path from the drop down menu.

  • As of yesterday, when I click on an image in Bridge, it won't open the image in PhotoShop, it begins another session of PhotoShop but without an image that was requested.

  • Use the image previews generated by InDesign?

    Hello
    I would like to know if its possible to use the preview images that InDesign generate and that are used in the link palette?
    To generate my own previews and caching them can be quite expensive if the document has a lot of large images.
    Best regards

    Pallofa,
    Try open img file using some software.
    You need a software to mount the img file.
    http://techie-buzz.com/how-to/mount-iso-files-as-a-virtual-cd-dvd-drive.html
    If thinstead of using an img file, just use this command.
    repair-bde e: d: -rp xxxx-xxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxx -f -lf c:\log.txt
    where d is the portable disk whereyou want the data and d drive should at least
    equal to e drive.
    Where xxxx-xxxx-xxxxx is the 48 digit recovery password.
    -lf will generate a log file and point to a certain location, here I have pointed to c drive.
    After repair-bde is completed, run chkdsk /f on D drive, then try to access your data.

  • I'm getting an error message in Lightroom 6 when I try to export a photo. It's "The specified folder is not writable". It doesn't matter which folder I pick, I get the same message. However, if I open the image in photoshop and then save it, it works just

    I've already reset my lightroom preferences, didn't work. I also uninstalled, and reinstalled lightroom. Didn't work either.
    I have no problems with any other programs including photoshop, so this has to be an issue with lightroom.
    Also, I can import from a memory card using lightroom and save to them to the folders just fine, the error only comes when I'm exporting a photo after I'm done editing in.
    I'm running windows 8.1 and the folders are all onedrive folders. (I have unlimited onedrive storage so I take full advantage of it.) I've always saved them this way, and only started having trouble after updating to Lightroom 6

    The problem with write permissions for the OneDrive folder only shows up in Lightroom 6's export dialogue, that's why it's to irritating. Lightroom 5.7.1 is not having that problem nor does the file explorer. The problem also exists on both of my machines. I will try to check for other problems with the OneDrive troubleshooter though: Running the OneDrive troubleshooter - Windows Help

  • Since loading IOS 7.0.4, the images and letters/words on my ipad Mini are fuzzy and less clear. It appears the revised IOS has created this degradation to clarity and sharpness. Anyone else seeing this problem?

    My ipad mini display, including letters/words, was crystal clear until the last software upgrade. Now everything is fuzzy and less clear. I'm reading many complaints about this on the Internet forums. Since I read a lot of books on my ipad , this is particularly irritating. Anyone else seeing this issue?

    Hi Fitz,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    I found adjusting the size, boldness and contrast settings on the iPad mini were very helpful.
    Here is a link to the information in the iPad User Guide on page 112:
    manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1595/en_US/ipad_user_guide.pdf
    Large, bold, and high-contrast text
    Display larger text in apps such as Calendar, Contacts, Mail, Messages, and Notes. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Larger Type, where you can turn on Larger Dynamic Type and adjust the font size.
    Display bolder text for items on iPad. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility and turn on Bold Text.
    Increase the contrast of text where possible. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility and turn on Increase Contrast.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!
