When adding a tween, images become pixelated

I've used timline/animation in Photoshop for awhile, but just noticed, when I add tweens between two images, the original images become pixelated when I save as animated GIFs.
Test #1
Photoshop file with two layers -- each with a photograph
Timeline: frame 1 has image from layer 1 and frame 2 has image from layer 2
Choose Save For Web and the images look pretty goodI realize that GIFs are only 256 colors
Test #2
Create Photshop files as in Test #1
Add a tween with 1 frame
Choose Save For Web and the images look pretty good
Test #3
Create Photshop files as in Test #1
Add a tween with more than one frame
Choose Save For Web
The images are now pixelated
Trash...
All but one tween and an image is no longer pixelated, OR
All tweens and an image is no longer pixelated
In other words, Saving For Web is fine as long as I don't add any tweens. As soon as I do, the images become pixelated. Take out the tweens, the pixelation goes away. And, I have tried to make all kinds of adjustments to the GIFs.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks--Robert

HI Jeffrey:
I can surely post some photos (screen shots from the Save As Web interface) of what I'm talking about and share the PSD file as well.
• First image before Tween
If you carefully look at the light brown vertical paint just behind the girl's right shoulder -- no big pixelated dots. And the guy's sweatshirt looks fairly smooth in transitions from highlights to shadows.
• Second image after adding Tweens
You'll now notice all the extra dots -- especially in the vertical brown paint job and other parts of the wall and his shirts.
And it gets worse with other images/animations I've recently created.
One thing I didn't mention is that I noticed this a few months back. This morning, I realized that's when I got rid of my old trusty 21" CRT monitor and got an LCD flat panel. I hooked up my old CRT and the dots are gone! But that doesn't resolve the issue of why when you add tweens, does it pixelate.
Here's a link to the test.PSD file: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/109581077/test.psd
Any help would sure be appreciated! And if you need me to create a video of the steps I'm doing, I can do that to.
Thank you!

Images become pixelated after Rendering

Hi,
I have a rather old version of Premiere Pro. (V 7.0) and I'm trying to put stills in my video but when I do and then render the video, all my images become pixelated. The images started out crisp and clear before rendering. I have been resizing/ repositioning the images but I tried without resizing and the images still become blurred and pixelated. I've tried exporting to see if it was just the viewer but video comes out pixelated as well. I've tried several things:
Images are PNGs. I've tried .Tiff and .Jpg and neither made a difference.
Images that are not resized pixelate as well.
Quality is set to Highest.
Zoom Level is 100%
Tried setting Pixel Aspect Ratio to Square pixels.
Below is an example of my problem. The images have yet to be resized and are still becoming pixelated.

I'm having same issue. Premiere Pro has THE WORST customer support. I waited on hold for over 1 hour and 18 minutes, and when I got connected 10 minutes 'til 9, they said I had called in too late, and that is why my call was transferred to a sales person. I'm looking to ditch my PP CC and find something with better customer support...let me know if you find something as well.

Vector image becomes pixelated and distorts text

This is an issue that is driving me nuts! I have a vector image created in Illustrator that I am placing in InDesign with an opacity setting. When I print it to a PDF the text (and anything created in InDesign) that is over the image and the image itself become pixelated. In InDesign in displays perfectly but something is happening in the conversion to PDF that is screwing up the file. It displays and prints pixelated. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks so much!

Hey Nik-
I think I fixed it but fill me in. The text is on a seperate layer above the image. I am printing to a PDF, is exporting better? I just changed the transparency flattener to High resolution when i printed to a PDF it is now displaying and printing properly in Acrobat.
Is that the best way to do this to ensure when I take it to a printer it will come out clean?
Thanks!

Still image becomes pixelated...

Hello all.
I have a logo that I am animating, making it increase in size as the next scene of my project comes in (the logo is in transparent lettering on a black background)
as it increases, it becomes pixelated.... (obviously) Is there any way to avoid this pixelation from happening??

How big is the logo? How big are you scaling it? There isn't much you can do if you're scaling it up. Starting with a larger logo so you don't have to scale it beyond 100% would be better.

Lost + and - when adding custom book images

How do I go about getting the + and - signs that are the
default in the TOC to the left of the open and closed book images?
They were there with the default skin book images, though when I
changed to a custom open and closed book graphic (both same size as
the original), the + and - signs that are usually there
disappeared.

Hi ClubHans
You probably don't realize it, but you have answered your own
question!
The fact is, in a WebHelp system, the book and page icons are
simple images. Either the image contains the + or - symbol or it
doesn't. If you want the symbols, you will need to either edit your
existing images to include them, or substitute images that contain
the symbols as part of the image.

Bug when adding a af:image into a ADS enabled table

This looks like a bug, but wanted to check with others to see if they had seen it.
Enable MDS with a column in a table
For example:
<af:table value="#{ContactCollectionBean}" var="row" id="t2" horizontalGridVisible="false" verticalGridVisible="false"
width="300" columnStretching="column:c3">
<af:column sortable="false" headerText="User Name" id="c2" width="100">
<af:outputText value="#{row.displayName}" id="aot1"/>
</af:column>
<af:column sortable="false" headerText="Status" id="c3" noWrap="false" width="200">
<af:outputText value="#{row.status}" id="aot2"/>
</af:column>
All works fine (row.status gets updated when new events are pushed.
Now enter a af:image tag as a new column or as a new element in an existing column.
The value getting updated now changes to be the displayName. It looks like it gets confused by the af:image and on update does the column "one" to the left of the column it should...

Hi,
the update of the table is by the index of the attribute. So if the image also is part of the row object then this should work

After iOS 5.1 update on iPhone 4, some of my pictures in the camera roll become pixelated after a crop edit?

I will elaborate. Lets say I save an image from a website. Then I go to the camera roll and edit crop it to make the image a tad bit smaller. Suddenly the images becomes pixelated and blocky. When I return to the image and tap the edit button, it becomes clear again and I can see the original picture. When I tap cancel, it goes back to beign pixelated/blocky. I tired restoring my phone to factory setting and losing all my data. That didn't work. As soon as I tested it, the same thing happened. I tried some weird method from www.iphoneincanada.ca an that didn't work either.
This is very annoying!

I have more info. I am using a program to look at the files on my iPhone. I did some testing and I came up with this. When a photo is edited ( in my case cropping) an image is created in the Metadata folder. The metadata folder is contained in a folder called PhotoData. For some reason, the cropped JPG is put within this metadata folder. The DCIM folder contains the "actual image" you saved from the internet or wherever. When a photo is edited in camer roll, a .XMP file is created for that image (Sometimes) and it's about 1kb. Coincidentally, the image that is pixelated DOES NOT have an .XMP file associated with it in the DCIM folder.
To conclude, it seems that the pictures that have a .XMP file associated with it in the DCIM folder does not come out as pixelated.
If there is a .XMP file then the photo in the Metadata folder become pixelated.

Pixelated images when in preview mode on iMovie, but when I pause it the images become clear. How do I fix this?

I just bought the latest version of iMovie and I am on 10.9.4. I transferred my slideshow from the old iMovie to the new one and almost all the pictures become pixelated when in preview mode. Yet when I pause it, the picture becomes clear. What do I do? It's driving me insane!

After more attemps at cropping Im noticing that the saved version is unzoomed, so if I move the zoom bar just a tad the image becomes instantly sharp. But sadly that doesnt help me because iphoto will only let me save it and post it online as the unsharp pixulated version. Can anyone please help me!

Images become blurred when placed in a PSD document

I have a QCODE (barcode) which is a 2-bit pure black and white images.
However, when I place it in another open document, the image becomes blurred when it is placed and the definition of the QCODE is compromised.
How can I stop PS from blurring the image.
I'm guessing it is trying to smooth out the placed image, but i don't want this.
Many thanks.

but i don't want this.
Place it pixel exact! Resampling means the image is placed at sub-pixel values. Aside from that you would also get softness if the image is not properly converted to the target color space and automatic conversion creates mix colors whose individual components blend differently with neighboring pixels, which in part is simply an artifact of on-screen simulation. In any case, you will only be able to get a proper barcode in CMYK/ Duotone/ Multichannel modes, where you can make sure it appears on the spot black ink separation so it does not get halftoned and loses its sharpness again. ideally it would even be native vector data...

When I open thumbnail images in another tab they are pixelated, what's wrong?

When I go on any website with images they are pixelated. Placing the cursor over each image gives the me the option of pressing 'alt' and 'r' to refresh the image or 'alt' and 'a' to refersh the whole page. When I open a thumbnailed picture in a new tab, whether or not I've refreshed the page or the image beforehand, the image is pixelated and I can't refesh it. What's going on?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Sounds like you are using a dial-up connection along with a "web accelerator". If that is the case it is a feature of that web accelerator from your ISP. They speed up page loading by initially supplying lower quality images and giving you the option of loading the original, full resolution image from their cache with those keyboard commands. Other ISP's with a web accelerator feature use Contextual menu items, which are added to Firefox via an extension installed into Firefox.
As far as not having the option to load the full quality image when you open it in a new Tab, I have no idea why that option doesn't appear. You should contact support at your ISP to ask about that issue.

Smart objects become pixelated when re-scaled?

I have Photoshop CS5.5 running on Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. When I place vector objects from Illustrator and then go to re-scale them they become pixelated. I check the Anti-alias box before commiting the place, but they still pixelate when re-scaled.
Here is a screenshot to illustrate what I mean....

Are you using the move tool or Edit>Free transform to scale?
Does it make any difference if you use Edit>Free Transform with the anti-alias checked?
Also in the photoshop Edit>Preferences>General check that the Image Interpolation is set to Bicubic.

Slideshow image resizing when adding new images

I am creating a series of slideshows on multiple pages. I created one slide show using the "basic" slideshow and resized it to the dimensions and settings I wanted. I have many pictures all of different proportion, therefore, I selected the "fill frame proportionally" so they would all fit the dimension I set. I wanted to use this first slideshow as a template for all of the rest. I added images to this first slideshow with no problems. All of my different sized images scaled or cropped to fit within the dimension I set. The problem comes in when I do two things: 1) When I add other images of different dimensions to this same slideshow gallery, they come smaller that the intended dimensions I set previous. I check the setting and it is still on "fill frame proportionally" similar to the first batch of pictures. 2) The second issue is when copy this slideshow as a template to other pages. When I try to replace or add to the slideshow gallery, the images come in cropped or smaller rather than filling the frame. Again, the settings are still the same from my very first slideshow that worked just as i intended.
I could resize all the images to all the same dimensions using another program like photoshop, but that is another step that is very tedious and it would seem that it should be something built into Muse.
Is there a way around this?. Am I doing something wrong? Or is this just one of those glitches that happens with Muse? I appreciate any help that I can get.
Thanks!

Hi, I got it to work like this:
Using background colours in Photoshop so that all sizes are the same in pixels. Then manually adjusting thumbnails by double-clicking on them so that a red square appears.
Cheers,

Hi there Elsemiekagain,
I had to fiddle around with my slide show to get it to work. That is, it worked at first, then went funky, and I had to fiddle. So much fiddling that I can't possibly know what actually made it start to work again.
And to some degree, this is the way that I find Muse to be in general. That it requires finessing to get it to work as expected. This adds a good deal of time to every development project, though I am getting better at this with practice and experience.
Most of it is not even things that could be easily put in words as instructions, as many are nanced. But in fairness, this version of Muse is a complete code re-write this year. So we do need to cut Adobe some slack, and give the team time to iron things out.

Why are my images being pixelated when using free transform?

HI.
I am pretty comfortbale with PS but stil learning more of the finer details. I can't find an answer for this on any help topics or threads.
I often bring several images into a document or workflow and it seems that when I reduce an image that's too big for the canvas, it looses it's quality as soon as I break out the transform tool and becomes very pixelated. Any thoughts?
Thanks very much

Thanks for both of your suggestions. My images are at 100ppi resolution and I am viewing the documents at about 150% the entire time. My image interpolation is set for bicubit (best for smooth gradient).
I've tried to reproduce the problem in different ways before replying here and think I've narrowed it down a bit. It seems that when I use the File->Place way to insert an image into an existing document, I don't run into this pixelation or image degredation issue. It's only when I drag an image from one document to another using tabbed document introduced in CS4 (I'm using CS5 btw).
If I have document 1 open and drag an image (or layer) from document 2 into document 1, then resize that image in document 1, I get a loss of quality. Not sure if that helps anyone else. Also not sure why this is hapenning as the ability to drag layers back and forth is pretty handy and I'd rather not give it up.

Help w/ Newsletter created in Photoshop becoming pixelated when emailed

Hi all,
I created a newsletter using Adobe Photoshop. However, when I use an email client to email it out, it becomes very pixelated. I have changed the dpi and it still becomes pixelated. Currently, the newsletter is set to 100 DPi but still becomes pixelated. How would I be able to fix this? I use iContact to email the newsletter and the actual image (bc it is rather large) is hosted on Photobucket. Early thanks for the help!

Photoshop just doesn't do Newsletters very well. Even MS Word would be better. Much better. If you can use something like inDesign, or MS Publisher, and save as a PDF, your text will be perfect regardless of how much you zoom in, and it would produce a much smaller file size. Plus you can have live links (hyperlinks), or hyperlink the images to larger versions (if you have somewhere to put them online. With inDesign you can doo all sorts of wonderful things making a really impressive document that would be fun to create, and impress your readers.

My vector (flattened) images are pixellated when imported in Illustrator. How do I fix this?

Hello.
I am experiencing an issue in Adobe Illustrator.
When attempting to import picture files in Illustrator from PhotoShop, the image appears blurred/pixellated. The image (a .psd file) is converted in Illustrator to a .ai file. I create vector (flattened) images in PhotoShop, which should maintain their picture clarity and quality regardless of what program the vectored image is opened with. Somehow, they are becoming pixellated when converted to .ai files in Illustrator.
I use both Adobe CS6 and Adobe Creative Cloud
Is there a setting or solution that I can implement to rectify this issue?
Many thanks in advance for everyone's input and assistance.

Hello, Doug and John.
Thank you for your replies and for providing feedback.
I am aware that vector format files are only for illustrator. However, I believe you can make a smart object in photoshop using the vector art and it will keep its vector file format in photoshop allowing it to not pixelate.
I would be more interested in seeing if uninstalling and reinstalling the programs would have anything to do with it and also trying to find the settings. Would anyone happen to know if this will resolve the issue? I am hoping this is correct forum in which to post this topic/issue.
Thank you again for your help.
