Unsharp text when importing tiff

Hallo all!
I´m working with a publication right now, i write music in a program called FINALE (www.finalemusic.com ). I export the Finaledocument to TIFF, and then import it into Indesign CS5  to do the layout and combine it with grapihcs etc...
BUT...when i print the Indesigndocument, all of my imported TIFF-files are slightly unsharp. Not much, but it´s a differens betwen the text in the imported tiff-file and the text i wrote directly in the indesign-document.
First i thought the problem was when converting to PDF, but i compared a PDF , a Indesign and a original finale-file of the same document and it seems that the "unsharpness" has to do with the TIFF...
I choose even 600 dpi to be on the safe side but...
Any idea how to solve this?

Check your Export settings. By default, bitmap images that are way over "the usual" dpi are downsampled to 300 dpi. It shouldn't be harmful because that ought not be visible unless you zoom in quite a lot on your screen. It does, though, introduce a small sliver of grey pixels around your original graphics.
Can Finale export to a vector format? Print to PDF? That ought to work flawlessly.
If you are stuck to bitmaps, you can select a high dpi setting -- your 600 dpi, or even better, as high as 1200 dpi -- and convert the image to Single Bitmap with Photoshop or another useful bitmap editor. Single Bitmaps can have a super-high resolution and still maintain a small file size, and they will not be downsampled to the usual 300 dpi: they will get printed at the fullest possible resolution. (*)
(*) Well unless you go way nuts and select something like 2000 dpi. The exact numbers for single bitmaps can also be found and changed in the PDF Export options dialogue.

  • Color change when Importing TIFF

    I was importing a photo to test the color calibration of my monitor (it was a sample tiff photo from a website I found). The colors look good using preview but once I import it into aperture the white part of the photo (background) becomes pink?

    For disabling JPEG in ACR go to EDIT => Preferences => Camera Raw and switch it to "Disable JPEG Support" at the bottom in JPEG and TIFF handling.
    It seems that you apply the ProPhoto colorspace via ACR.
    So the result can have two reasons: either the JPEG was saved untagged (converted to ProPhoto but without embedded colorspace) or it was tagged and saved with an embedded profile, but the other applications are non- or wrong colormanaged. Both will result in a desaturated image like it shows up to the right:
    How the appear in a non-colormanaged browser, see the names:
    Also the # in the image name (3rd image) indicates that your color settings (workspace settings) in PS are different from the colorspace of the image.
    Either apply sRGB when you go through ACR or disable the open JPEG with ACR feature as desribed above, which should preserve the original colorspace.

  • Add text when importing?

    I'm trying to setup a file name template in the import menu. I can add a token for date, year but when I try to add a custom text token by clicking insert; nothing happens. It worked in the previous version; anyone else having this trouble?

    You are limited with the length of the file<<</div>
    In what way? If you;'re talking about Photoshop, try making a 720 x 3000 canvas to create the text on. You can always add more or crop excess if needed.
    Does Boris allow you to change fonts and sizes to allow for titles and sub titles? In other words, can you have more than one font in a text scroll?<<</div>
    Absolutely. That why I use it.

  • InDesign crashing when importing tiff images

    I have upgraded to InDesign CC 2014. I have trouble importing some tiff images. InDesign crashes. Not all tiff images create problems. It depends on which version of Photoshop, they are saved in. If I open the image in Photoshop and saves again, there are not any problems. Our database is very large and contains several folders, so it is a big task to archive all images again, even if I create an action in Photoshop. I have searched, but I can not find any settings in InDesign that helps. Does anybody else has encountered this problem and found a solution?

    ASk in the Id forum and provide exact system info, versions of PS, details about your files and so on. There is an issue with legacy color profiles in some cases, but beyond that I'm not aware of other problems that may be relevant here.

  • "wrinkle" in text when importing from Motion to DVDSP

    I created a motion menu in Motion and imported in DVDSP. Looks great in Motion. In DVDSP the largest title is not clean. It has a "jag" through several letters along the same horizontal line. Anybody have an idea?
    thanks

    It is "not clean" in the final built DVD as well.
    I think I may have solved the problem. If I start with the 720 x 480 canvas (not the 720 x 486) and cut and paste the template I need to use (which is 720 x 486) and then pull it into DVDSP it works! The difference of 6 pixels creates these odd wrinkles.

  • Image Date error on importing TIFF images from Disk

    I have thousands of high quality (~100 Mb each) images in 20 folders on a 1 Tb hard drive. I have been using Bridge to manage the images, adding some metadata such as keywords and copyright data. I am considering importing all these images into Aperture and using it as the primary image management tool.
    But I am concerned about an apparent bug in the way Aperture handles the "image date and time".
    In Bridge (and GraphicConverter), the "image date" field is correct, directly from my CFV digital back on the camera and inline with the time of day the shot was taken (e.g. sunrise image at 6am). When I import the image into Aperture, the time gets shifted by 14 hours.
    For example, an image in Bridge that correctly shows Date Created as 10/05/2009 7:36am gets distorted to 10/05/2009 9:36pm, exactly 14 hours later than the correct time. It was taken at 7:30 in the morning but, in Aperture, looks like it was taken in the late evening. It does not look like a time zone issue as the image was taken in the same time zone as my Mac Pro is set to.
    I have tried deleting the masters and re-importing them with GMT +2 and GMT -12 in the two time zone adjustment fields. This gets the right time into the Image Date field but then the image has the wrong time zone data in the "Camera Time Zone" and "Picture Time Zone" fields.
    I have tried running MetaData > Update Date and Time (with Master files ON) but it comes back with an error "no master files were adjusted ... because they have a format that does not permit modification".
    I have tried running MetaData > Update Date and Time (with Master files OFF). It appears to work but I assume that the underlying file in the Aperture library still has the incorrect time.
    Have others faced this problem? Is there a solution? Is it a known bug that Apple might fix one day?
    Regards
    Peter

    I am seeing a very similar problem when importing TIFF files back to Aperture.
    This is what I do and what I see:
    1. I import RAW images from my camera into Aperture. They show the correct date and time.
    2. I open an RAW image in Photoshop (CS4) directly from the finder. The image inside Photoshop (file/info) shows the correct date and time.
    3. After editing I save my image as 16bit TIFF and it still shows correct date and time.
    4. I import the new TIFF back into Aperture. The time is shifted back 15 hrs!
    I can then go in and Metadata/Update Date and Time (no masters) and it works well, but it is a pain to do on each image I process.
    In all cases camera and image timezone is set to US Pacific as it should be.
    To me this seems like Aperture is somehow miss-interpreting the timezone when reimporting TIFFs.
    I have not tried importing JPEGs or PSDs back but I will and will report back...

  • When importing from a Word document placing the text in InDesign

    When importing from a Word document placing the text in InDesign I can only see the text from the first page of the Word document. I have increased the number of pages in the Indesign document to more than what is in the Word document, still only text from the first page is shown. What am I doing wrong or did I not set a setting correctly?

    When you want to auto flow text while placing, hold down the Shift key when clicking with the Place cursor on the first page. New pages will be generated and text will be auto flowed using the margins set up on the master page.

  • Text layers from PSD is converted as images when imported to Muse

  • Do you see problems with text size when importing from Photoshop?

    Hi all -
    We're working on improving some things in the Photoshop-to-Reflow workflow, and right
    now specifically investigating trouble with imported text.
    Aside from the desire to have support for local fonts, are there any problems you run into
    when importing text from Photoshop into Reflow? We've heard some issues with text size and position,
    but want to make sure we understand all of the cases.
    If you have problems in this area, please share them in this thread, and I'd also love to get some
    sample PSDs that demonstrate the problems. (You can send them directly to me; vmitnick at adobe dot com .)
    thanks,
    Vic

    I'm using CS4.. and I'm using the standard "Save As" .pdf features....
    and I'm reading it with adobe acrobat pro 9.1...
    i think it has something to do with compression. but i can't figure out how to solve it. converting the text to symbols maybe?

  • When importing Raw into A3, in what format is the picture displayed? Jpeg or tiff.

    When importing Raw into A3, in what format is the picture displayed on the screen? Jpeg or Tiff ?

    None of the comments you have gotten are particularly useful.  The display is independent of format of the file.  It's rendering is of the full pixels in the image file that you have imported, modified by any adjustments you have made, or not if you ask to see the Master.
    Even if your Master was imported as a JPEG, as seen on the screen it would have been decompressed, and you would see all the pixels (that the screen is capable of).  However, a JPEG may have lost some detail in the compression, but when decompressed has the same number of pixels as the equivalent uncompressed photo format -- but some of them may result from interpolation, and not be the original.

  • When importing images in Pages, how do I set the default object placement to "stay on page" and "no text wrap"?

    when importing images in Pages, how do I set the default object placement to "stay on page" and "no text wrap"?

    Then use a Layout template.
    I am a designer and I use Word Processing templates with layout breaks and all the other tools available because Layout templates are just WP templates with a lot of options removed.
    Pages is not Indesign, but then Indesign is not Pages, …and Pages 5 is not Pages '09.
    Unless your flyers are for the Web, why are you using Pages at all?
    I am curious, what does your post have to do with the O.P.'s question? …and why are you posting it here?

  • APEX 4.Loosing translatable text when exporting/importing to new workspace

    Hi everyone,
    I am developing a bilingual application (base English translated to french) and I noticed something weird when exporting/importing to another workspace.
    First, my application is flagged as requiring synchronization after an import. Yes, I did check that it was not flagged right before the export. I did choose Export Translations.
    Secondly, when I look at the translated application in the new workspace, my Region Names are not translated anymore (in english instead of french). When I cmpare the 2 Translation Repositories (using the Manually Edit Translation Repository) I lost all Region Names entries (Column Description = Region name).
    Thirdly, when again comparing the 2 Translation Repositories, I have the same number of Strings and Distinct Strings by if I group by Column Descriptions the sub-totals differ and I don't even have the same distinct Column Descriptions.
    My test was done with my development workspace and a test workspace (where I deleted all application prior to my test) in the same instance.
    Anybody had these problems?
    Thanks all
    I am using 4.1.1.00.23 on the Oracle Database 11g Express Edition.

    Hi there,
    Well....I guess "they lied" would be me, huh?
    Unfortunately, this is a bug. This issue with region titles was first reported in Bug in 4.1.1: Region Title translations is lost I recorded it as Bug 13801807 - REGION TITLE TRANSLATIONS LOST WHEN IMPORTING AS A NEW APPLICATION ID. It's fixed in APEX 4.2.
    I hope this helps.

  • Skip a column when importing a text file into Excel 2010

    Hi,
    I have a formatted Excel 2010 spreadsheet that I want to import data from a .txt file located on my local drive. The third column of the spreadsheet is a concantenate formula that converts the second column from a Hex formatted value to a Dec formatted value.
    I want the first two columns of the text file to import into the first two columns of the spreadsheet and skip the third column then import the remaining columns from the text file to the spreadsheet. Is there an easy way to do this or do I need a VBA code
    and if so can you provide that to me?
    Thank you,
    Jennifer

    Hi Tony,
    I am sorry if I didn't express my issue more clearly. Where I need to skip a column is in the Excel spreadsheet. I want to import all the columns from the text file. I want the first two columns from the text to import to the first two columns in the Excel
    sheet A and B, skip the third column C in the spreadsheet, where I have a formula to convert the second column B values from a Hex format (imported data) to a Dec format, then continue to import columns 3, 4, and 5 from the text to spreadsheet columns D, E,
    and F. I would think the function would be in the Excel spreadsheet maybe some type of protection setting or something similar, if it can even be done. 
    Thank you for taking the time to help me out with this.

  • Text Mask Created in Motion Turns Grey When Imported Into Apple DVD Studio

    I have some type that is a mask for a flame video that allows the flame to only be seen through the shapes of the letters. This is a black background with the type "punched out" to all the flames to be seen. When import this into Adobe DVD Studio Pro the black background of the masked type turns into a grey. What can I do to get the black appearance I need? Thanks!

    Lets say the following is your square (just four words Top, Right, Bottom, Left)
    The words Top, Right, Bottom, Left can all be on one Photoshop B&W pict file that is used as an overlay, all the words in black over a whit background for instance. Note however, that buttons (when you drag the button area) are limited in how they can be made so it may take a little bit of tinkering to get the button area to be over the particular section of the overlay properly and some designs may not work.
    You can try other methods, succh as buttons over video, but the above is probably the easiest and most reliable way subject to design considerations
