Viewers may think your photos are out of focus and navigate away with a "pshaw!"

Suggestion for Adobe re: our online albums that people can access (such as http://bclayshannon.photosho.com):
When images are loading, use an hourglass or even some text to let the user know the fuzzy picture they are at first seeing is not the "final" image: just "hold your horses/keep your pants on" and the image in all its glory will soon display - something to that effect (at least an hourglass).

  • Magnified photos are out of focus

    When I magnify a photo in iphoto11 it is out of focus. How can I fix this?

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • Why are some of my photos tack sharp while others in the same series are out of focus?

    My camera is a Canon Rebel XS (dSLR) and I primarily use the 50mm f/1.8 lens. 
    I shoot in Manual Mode with Autofocus ON.
    I am having difficulty with my photos coming out incositant - some are out of focus, while others in the same series (taken a moment apart) are tack sharp.
    I've attached two examples - one of the out-of-focus image, the other sharp images (both have been blown up).
    It is not camera shake and my settings are identical for both photos. (ISO 200 | f/4.5 | 1/100sec in this instance.)
    This has become such a problem that I find myself needing to take 10x more photos of the same subject/pose in order to hopefully get one sharp image from the series.
    I have asked multiple people about this problem (though I have yet to take my camera and lens to a shop due to lack of funds) and no one has any idea of either what I'm talking about or what the problem could be.
    I would appreciate your thoughts and help!
    Thank you! 
    Fuzzy/Out of Focus:
    Sharp:

    This new pair of images does not look like camera motion -- this one looks like it missed focus.
    If you use the included Canon Digital Photo Professional that came with your camera, you can right-click an image and tell it show you the focus point which were used (the camera wont know if you did a focus-and-recompose technique... so if you recompose after locking focus then the focus points indicated by DPP wouldn't be meaningful). But I bring this up because it would allow you to determine which focus point the camera claims it used.
    I think you mentinoned that you used "One Shot" focus mode -- not AI Servo. One Shot should block the camera from taking the shot until it thinks it confirmed focus-lock on the selected AF point (or on at least one AF point it you allow the camera to pick from any of its available focus points.) In AI Servo the camera WILL take the shot when you fully press the button -- whether it successfully locked focus or not.
    That brings us back to the subject of the focus test.
    If you do not own a commercial chart, then you may want to download one from the Internet and print it. Here's a good site: http://regex.info/blog/photo-tech/focus-chart
    Print the chart and follow the instructions. I deliberately run the camera out of focus to nearest focus distance and force the camera to re-focus and shoot... and I repeat this at least a half-dozen times. I then repeat... but this time deliberately run the camera out of focus to infinity before forcing the camera to focus and take the shot.
    Track each shot as you do the focus test. You may see a pattern emerge (e.g. perhaps it nails focus when going in one direction to find focus... but misses in another, etc.) Such a pattern might indicate the lens is getting sloppy and needs service (it's usually not worth servicing the 50mm f/1.8 due to it's low cost.) The USM and STM lenses allow full-time manual focus override (even if the lens is auto-focusing). The basic auto-focus motor lenses (like the 50mm f/1.8) do not support this and forcing manual focus without disengaging the focus system can be harmful.

  • My photos are out of chronological order after the os 5 upgrade.   How can I get them back in order?

    My photos are out of chronological order after the os 5 upgrade.   How can I get them back in order?
    If its not possible, how do I go back to the old  os?

    I had tried that several times with no luck.  Late last night I was finally able to get through  to the Verizon technical support who then called in Apple technical support.  It took 1 1/2 hours for them to figure it out and guide me through a fix.  So here's the deal .......... I use Yahoo mail and had left the "contacts" button in the on position.  Apparently Yahoo likes to go into your contacts and gather information and can leave it in shambles.  My advice is, go to settings, then mail, contacts, calendars.  Select any and all of your email accounts and go in and turn off their access to your information.  Leave it on for Icloud but none of the others.

    Why is it on the photo app is that when you add your photos to new albums and when you are deleting from camera roll it will delete photos from everywhere so therefore once your photos are in the albums you have chosen you cannot delete from camera roll

    Your photos are actually all in the Camera Roll.  The album you create only contain pointers to these pictures.  Albums are like music playlists; when you delete a song from the playlist it doesn't delete the song from your music library.  But when you delete a song from your music library it will also be deleted from any playlists that it may have been in as well.

  • On mozilla's OWN WEBSITE I get the message 'Your Firefox is out of date and may contain a security risk!" but I just download and installed the latest version?

    I have the latest version of firefox to date (10/15/2014 v32) and I still get messages while on various websites (Youtube, Google, Gmail) telling me that Your Firefox is out of date and may contain a security risk.
    I even get that message on the support pages of mozilla.org??
    I've tried the about:config reset the useragent(s) fix but that doesn't work.
    I've tried browsing in safe mode and still get the error.
    Why is this False/Positive happening?
    Thanks

    hello your useragent (the information the browser sends to websites to identify its version) - apparently mistakenly - shows this:
    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0.1) Gecko/20140923 '''Firefox/4.0.0; xs-A30GTmfXR3o;CkHZPf;'''
    probably some sort of unwanted software has overwritten it. please refer to this article in order to reset the user-agent settings in firefox:
    [[Websites say that Firefox is outdated or incompatible even though it's the latest version]]
    in case this does not help, please try to reset the whole browser:

  • Can anyone explain to me why some of my photos are landing in events and others are appearing only in photo stream?

    I want to delete photos from camera roll on my iPhone to clear space to install ios7 but after importing photos to iPhoto on my macbook pro only 4 out of 339 photos taken in September landed in events, though all 339 are in Sept photo stream. It seems like on previous uploads all photos "fell" into events according to the day they were taken, as well as into photostream. I want to make sure these photos stick around permanently and do not exist only in photo stream where I imagine they will eventually be bumped from my computer (photostream). Can anyone explain why some of my photos are landing in events and others are appearing only in photo stream?

    You have uploaded two different things - pHotos are in one and only one event - if you have the same photo in two different events then you have imported it twice
    Please explain what you want - your initial question and yoru current comments are 180 degrees apart
    You say they are not all in events
    Can anyone explain to me why some of my photos are landing in events and others are appearing only in photo stream?
    Now you say they are
    All 15 pics appear in  Sept 2013 PS
    It sound to me like you have no problem except you imported some photos twice adn you may not understand how the automatic import form PS works - but that is not clear
    you can choose to have all of your My Photo Stream photos automatically downloaded. In iPhoto or Aperture preferences on your Mac, to select Photo Stream > My Photo Stream > Automatic Import. All of your photo stream photos will be imported into your Events, Projects, Photos, Faces, and Places folders in iPhoto or Aperture.
    The event they are imported into is MMMM YYYY PS
    If you import via iTunes sync or by connecting your IOS device via USB then they are importeed into the regular event structrue as defined in your iphoto preferences - and if you imoport via two or more different methods you will ahe duplicates

  • Any fix for photos being out of focus when in edit mode?

    found several discussions about this but no fix. My photos can be sharp as a tack but as soon as I click on "edit" they go out of focus. Sometimes they are out of focus before I ever click on edit but if I zoom slightly they are in perfect focus. I can view them in "preview" on my macbook and they look great. This is obviously frustrating as I can trying to edit them but can't see exactly what I am working with b/c they are showing up blurry. My macbook is a late 2008 and i have the latest version of everything else.
    Not sure how long this has been going on but I just noticed it today. I thought my new camera (nikon d7000) was the problem, but as soon as I zoomed a bit I saw they were actually in focus to begin with. Thanks!

    So far it appears that the only work around is to zoom a tiny bit  --  report the problem to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback

  • I have lightroom.  My photos are stored on an external disk drive with a backup disk.  With iCloud, will all of my photos go to the cloud?  Will I still need the external drives? Is the $9.99 per month for just one year or for always?

    I am an amateur photographer and have lightroom.  My photos are stored on an external disk drive with a backup disk.  With iCloud, will all of my photos go to the cloud?  Will I still need the external drives? Is the $9.99 per month for just one year or for always? 

    If the iTunes database files are on that drive, launch iTunes with the Shift key(Windows) or Option key(Mac OS X) held down, select Choose Library, and navigate to it. The computer may need to be authorized to play protected content, and if the library contains rented movies, those won't play.
    If not, import the content to an iTunes library.

  • The e-mail and bookmarks are out of focus or foggy

    The problem is that my e-mail and bookmarks are out of focus. When I run the mouse across it, it clears up. I've run every kind of software and nothing helps. I got in touch with My P.C. support and they didn't know or care to fix it.

    hello jims1914, please try [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL|updating your graphics driver]], or in case this doesn't solve the issue or there is no new version available at the moment, disable hardware acceleration in ''firefox > options > advanced > general''.

  • One day it just stopped focusing and the pictures are blurry.  If I switch it to the front camera it works well and looks like it should but when I turn it back it goes back to being out of focus and I can't figure out how to fix it?

    i installed ios 7.after  that my primary cam, one day it just stopped focusing and the pictures are blurry.  If I switch it to the front camera it works well and looks like it should but when I turn it back it goes back to being out of focus and I can't figure out how to fix it?

    This advice will sound like a joke or prank, but believe me it worked on my iPhone 5 and my daughter's.  The lens mechanism got stock on each of our iPhones.  We found a post on these message boards that said to hold the iPhone about 6 inches above a table or counter top and drop it so that it lands flat on it's back.  Now try the camera ...Fixed!  It has been more than six months now and neither of our iPhones have ever experienced the problem again.
