The "quality" setting

Please allow the user the privilege of overriding the
"quality" setting for all Flash objects.
Can't be too hard to implement, surely?
It would certainly help for those of us with older PC's. A
global "low" setting might
mean the difference of a usable experience Vs. an almost hung
computer, due to the cpu relief.

See, you just answered it yourself, correctly.
If you have a feature request (which this is, there is no global settings manager feature to control quality.. the only current-option is to right-click a swf and adjust quality in the context menu) then you should open a public Flash Player bug and get votes, or find an existing public Flash Player bug and vote on that.
When it's time to plan features the public bugs with the most votes get the most attention. Forum posts do not, becuase there are too many of them, they're too scattered and most times unspecific, and they're just too darned hard to count.
So, work that public bugbase. But PLEASE do not vote on bugs that do NOT MATCH YOUR ISSUE/REQUEST. For example, I frequently see folks commenting on a Windows-based performance bug saying "Oh i have the same problem. I'm on Mac..." That is not the same thing. Windows issues and Mac issues are separate (though for a feature request like this one they'd all be one bug..)

I have scanned photos using an Epson V500 scanner set to scan using jpeg format at the highest quality (least compression) setting. When I try to import the scanned jpegs into iPhoto, I get an error message from iPhoto saying "The file is an unrecognized format." But if I reduce the quality setting on the Epson scanner to just slightly below highest quality, the images import into iPhoto just fine. Why won't iPhoto accept jpegs scanned at the highest quality setting? Wondering?

What scanner format settings dis you use? Are these color photos? If they are B/W did you scan as grayscale images? That could be the problem.
Are you able to open them with Preview? If so do a Save As, select full quality and save as a jpeg with a new file name. See if that file will import and work as intended.

Hello, I am have problems with coruption of the photos in a slide show after burning the DVD in iDVD. This coruption does not always appear when you preview the project. I have slowed down the burn rate to 1X and kept the quality to professional.

I am having a great deal of problems with Data coruption in slide shows after I have burned a DVD in iDVD. I have changed burn rate from best to 1X with no difference in the coruption. I have the quality set to professional with no improvement. The size of the project is near 3.95, so it should fit on a single layer burn. Should I use either iMovie to create the slide show or "Photo to Movie"? Also, can anyone comment on how I preserve the highest quality picture resolution with a slide show? If I do use iMovie or Photo to Movie, the file size should exceed the 4.2 size so, will I have to buy new DVD's which are capable to handle the double layer burn and upto 8 GB? What DVD's are recommended? Any preferred brand? Are there problems with burning with double layer? I read on this blog of numerous problems.

DVDs are LOW resolution by today's standards - only about 0.3 megapixels - so there is no way they your images on a TV set will look "High Definition". See Preparing images for iDVD slideshows at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/6675.html for recommendations on image sizes to use. Using larger images won't give you better quality, andf in some cases, will lower you image quality because the Quicktime resizing that occurs isn't the best.

How does the quality of Previews effect slideshow performance?

Does anybody know how Aperture uses the Image Previews in a slideshow? The default image preview is half size and medium quality. Does this mean Aperture has to generate full size previews on-the-fly during the show?
If I changed to full-size previews at high quality am I helping Aperture display the images during a slidshow, or not?
Maybe Aperture doesn't use the previews at all during a slideshow and making a few hundred full-size previews would only be filling up my hard drive for no useful purpose.

And another quote from the fine manual:
Re Slideshow:
Rendering Preview Images
Aperture renders preview images in four situations:
When a library is upgraded—provided that the “Create previews for existing images” checkbox is selected in the Welcome to Aperture dialog
When an image is imported, or a version is created, rotated, or adjusted—provided that the Maintain Previews item is selected in the Library Action pop-up menu (with a gear icon)
When you Control-click the library, a project, or an image selection and choose Update Previews from the shortcut menu
Immediately before a slideshow, if the previews are not up to date, and the slideshow preset uses the Best quality setting
When rendering a group of preview images, Aperture uses the current application preference settings for compression quality and picture size, not the settings that were specified when preview rendering began. For example, if you have the quality set to 6, and then halfway through rendering you change the setting to 8, the previews that have not yet been rendered will be compressed at setting 8. Previously rendered previews are unaffected.
So, a high quality slideshow will require high quality previews, and indeed Aperture will render previews before rendering a slideshow, if the preview quality is not sufficient.

How does the quality of service in India compare to the United States?

I am currently in India and 12 hours from the closest Apple service center in Delhi. After the monsoon rains started my computer started acting up. At first some keys seemed to stick and I was able to solve the problem by attaching a USB keyboard. Lately the computer started crashing and then having trouble starting up again (an internet search suggests this could be a problem with the RAM). If I left the computer for a while it would start up and operate well for a bit but eventually crash again.
I took the computer into a computer repair shop here and he said that I should wait (3 months) until I go back to the United States rather than go through the trouble of traveling to Delhi to get the computer repaired. He also said that the quality of repairs is much better in the US. For example, in India they will put in second hard refurbished hardware whereas in the US they will use new hardware. The repairs in India will also take much longer than it would in the US. He recommended I get a cheap PC from him to use while I am here and get my mac repaired when i get back to the United States, he would then buy the computer back when I left.
I was wondering if anybody could share their experience or knowledge of the quality of service in India. Thank you.

How do I maintain the quality of photos exporting in Book Module ?

I am concerned about exporting my book pages as jpg or pdf because of the compression each format applies. Any experience here? Thanks Sandy

You should just try it with some different settings for jpeg quality and open up the jpegs or pdfs to see whether they are acceptable quality. If you cannot see problems on your screen, they are not there. Both formats use jpeg compression but the quality setting should be good enough to not give any visible issues. At least that has been my experience. You should have your quality setting for jpeg above 75 or so but higher is typically not necessary. 300ppi is usually enough for printing from the files. sRGB is usually the correct color space to use except when you know your printing service knows what it is doing with regards to color management.

'Maximum' Quality Setting for Previews

Dear Adobe,
Aside from 'Low', 'Medium', and 'High' settings for standard-size previews, please add a 'Maximum' quality setting (equivalent to 10-12 quality setting for JPEGs in Photoshop).
As standard previews are generated for imported images or for new edits on images already in Lightroom, sometimes low quality JPEG previews are generated. These previews exhibit color banding & macroblocking artifacts typical of JPEG files (especially in dark areas). Since these previews are used in the Library, Slideshow, Print, and Web modules, it's pretty darn annoying & distracting to stare at low-quality renditions of our images. Switch to Develop module, and a fresh new image is rendered on screen; therefore, these JPEG preview artifacts are not visible in the 'Develop' module.
Two fixes to this problem:
1.) Add a 'Maximum' quality setting for previews that Lightroom generates
2.) Fix it the Aperture, Bridge, iPhoto, 'every-other-software', and your own 'Develop' module way: display the precached preview first, while rending a fresh view of the image in the background... display that when it's ready.
Here's a forum where I've discussed this previously:
http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx?128@@.3bc33a73
Here are examples of the low-quality previews generated by Lightroom (when 1680 'High' setting is used for previews):
http://web.mac.com/rishisanyal/iWeb/Homepage/Macroblocking.jpg
http://web.mac.com/rishisanyal/iWeb/Homepage/Library.jpg
http://web.mac.com/rishisanyal/iWeb/Homepage/Library_vs_Develop.jpg
And if you are using a well calibrated monitor, then look at the macroblocking in the black wool coat in this image (please use a color managed viewer, else the coat will just look black and you won't see the blocking):
http://web.mac.com/rishisanyal/iWeb/Homepage/Lightroom_JPEGblocking.jpg
We photographers have discerning eyes. It's painful to see this terrible renditions of our precious images... and to have to switch over to the 'Develop' module *just* to get a high-quality rendition of our image? And meanwhile watch slideshows with low-quality versions (previews) of our images?
Sounds pretty unacceptable to me.

So, I'm pretty much convinced now that the problem with low-quality LR previews seems to be mostly isolated to the previews that LR generates after you make edits in the 'Develop' module.
Upon first import, this image looked fine in the 'Library' & 'Slideshow' modules. After making some edits (color, tone, etc.) in the 'Develop' module, I ended up getting this hideous preview in the 'Library' & 'Slideshow' modules:
http://web.mac.com/rishisanyal/Lightroom/07-0310_BandingBlocking.jpg
You people with LCDs will be able to see the JPEG artifacts better than those with CRTs, since LCDs tend to be sharper.
So, the obvious question is this:
Does LR, when *re-generating* previews for edited images, ignore the quality-setting for JPEG previews (which I have set to 'high')??

PE7 -vs- PE3: Where is DVD Quality Setting?

Recently upgraded from PE3 to PE7...
Previously when I went to burn a DVD of my project, I had the option of adjusting the quality setting for my DVD.
Now, in PE7, I don't see this option... it just burns a DVD.
Am I missing something or is there only one quality setting for burning a DVD now?
Thank you!

After creating a new slideshow I export it with the setting HD 1080p it is then saved as a .mov i then create a dvd in idvd and the quality is not as good as the original photo's when viewed on the monitor or a TV, am i doing something wrong?

DVD's are only 640 x 480 (interlaced), so yes, the quality is not nearly as good. You should probably create your .mov in DV format to best match the DVD format

How do I set the quality of a "save to pdf" or "mail pdf" ?

I have created a document (say, in Pages, MS Word, or Apple Works/Claris Works [yes, that is still an excellent programme..., even on an intel Mac] and then want to save it as pdf or " mail pdf".
If the document page has many pictures, the pdf created via the "Print" function in OS X has quite some pixelation and the print-out is sub-optimal (eg for a Christmas/New Year card).
Is there a way that the quality of the created pdf file can be altered?
Any advice would be appreciated.

Audition's native recording and processing format is 32 bit floating. This allows for the most accurate processing of your audio. You cannot set it to record at 24 bit depth. However a 24 bit source is happily stored in the 32 bit format when you record from an external 24 bit audio interface.
If you need to save 24 bit files for use after you have finished editing them then you choose 24 bit from the Options drop down in the Save As panel when you save the file.
See further explanation 24-bit hardware with "32-bit float" recording in 3.0

What's the best setting for a best shades quality?

Hi!
I would like to know what are the best codec and the best setting for a video with 1920x1080 of resolution.
I've tried them all but nothing because the shades...are not shades.
I want a video that is like a uncompressed video but lighter. Same quality, same shades.
I've tried with Canopus Lossless but the video is darker and huge (7 min for >17 gb),
then with Canopus HQ, same quality but a little bit lighter (6 gb),
I've tried with all of codecs and settings but I haven't found what I want.
Who can help me for the best settings for the best shades?
Thanks so much.
P.S: Sorry for my english!

I used the PNG codec but the video is too big.
New Question: I've tried to encode the video with Canopus HQ but to 720p and now the video is more lighter, I wanted to upload it on YouTube but is not compatible with the standards.
If I encode this video by changeing the codec to Microsoft Avi uncompressed, can I have the same quality and the same weight?

I'm not sure what settings you are referring to. If you mean the import CD settings, there would be no point in changing them after importing the CD, would there?
As for the best setting for audio quality, it's down to your preference. Many people will not hear the difference bewteen one setting and another. The best thing to do is import the same song several times using different import setttings (and change the song title so you know which one is which) and then listen to them on your iPod. Then decide.
Unless you have specific reasons for using the WAV setting, don't use it. It will use up a lot of space on your iPod and you cannot tag WAV files in the same way as the other formats.

What's the best setting to save footage (.mov) to dvd/cd with best quality

Hi, I'm editing a little movie that might be played later on tv/cinema. I 'm trying to keep/burn my footage into a lighter format but I can't guess which setting is the best. Would the setting be good enough? (also do I burn it on a dvd or data cd?...) Is somebody could help me? Thank you, Laurence
(my footage were filmed with a 4 chip camera)

If you have the camera to import into iMovie I don't understand why you can't send it back to tape. That will be the best quality and the fastest time.
If your PowerBook doesn't have a DVD burner you could take the tape and camera to a friend that has a Mac and a DVD burner. Send the file to iMovie and then iDVD for burning.
Once you export to a lower quality QuickTime file some of the quality will be lost forever. The tape would be identical to the iMovie version.
There is no "best" export method because every file is different. I would use Movie to QuickTime movie, sized at 640X480 and select the H.264 video codec and Apple Loseless audio codec set at 48kHz stereo. Use the same frame rate as your source and a bit rate about 2,000.
