When I place photos in InDesign from Photoshop they become grainy.

I have been having issues placing photos of mine that have been worked on in photoshop in indesign.  The files when imported appear grainy in Indesign even though they are above the required resolution/image size for the document I am working on,  and I have adjusted the viewing quality accordingly.  This happens regardless of how I save the file in photoshop (.jpg, .psd, .tiff, ect...).  I have never had this problem before and am unsure how to keep working from here.
Thanks

I would also try: quit InDesign and relaunch it (to clear memory weirdness), then create a new document and place the image. Make sure you choose view > display performance > high quality display. Zoom in. Switch back to Photoshop and check the image there. If it looks noticeably different then it's possible that ID's preferences are corrupted or something else has gone wrong. I have noticed that sometimes InDesign can be slow to preview high-res images, especially very large ones, so give it 20 or 30 seconds if need be.

  • When I insert photos into Premiere Elements timeline they become pixilated.  Has anyone a remedy?

    The photos I insert into the timeline in Elements become pixilated.  They looked fine in the organiser.  Has anyone a remedy to this problem please?

    Thanks for the additional information.
    If rendering the Timeline content of those photos does not resolve the photo pixelation issue as per SG's question, then please read on.
    a. Do you have a mixed Timeline of photos and video? If so, what is the format of the video and how many of these
    2799 x 3500 photos are included? Do you get photo pixelation whether you have 1 or many of these photos on the Timeline?
    b. What happens to the Edit area monitor view of one of these photos if you right click the Edit area monitor, select Playback Quality, and then compare the choices of Automatic vs Highest Quality? If you right click the Edit area monitor and select Magnification, do you find the Magnification set at the default "Fit"?
    c. Have the photos been edited in Photoshop before being imported in Premiere Elements. If so, what was the extent of the Photoshop editing including effects applied and color profile?
    More later depending on your results and follow up.
    Thanks.

    If this is an all photos project, I would suggest the project preset of the following in your case
    PAL
    DSLR
    1080p
    DSLR 1080p25.

  • When trying to import photos with iPhoto from photoshop.. won't let me keeps saying that the photos are already in the iPhoto library but they are not... need to fix this

    When trying to import photos with iPhoto from photoshop... won't let me keeps saying that the photos are already in the iPhoto library but they are not

    If you are using Photoshop from within iPhoto the following may help with the workflow.  However, we do need to know the answers to the questions posed by Terence and Larry to be able to help you.
    Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop.  When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window
    that indicates that  PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file.  You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    With Photoshop Elements  the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.  In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
    Screenshots are from PSE 10
    Note 1:  to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.
    Note 2:  editing a RAW file with either PSE or PS creates a new file which must be saved outside of iPhoto, i.e. the Desktop, and imported as a new photo into the iPhoto Library.

  • Why do my graphics designed in photoshop look pixely when I place them in Indesign?

    Why do my graphics designed in photoshop look pixely when I place them in Indesign?

    Most likely the display performance setting. View > Display Performance > High Quality Display.  If that doesn't solve it, the resolution of the image may be too low to use at the size you have it on the page. Check the Effective PPI in the info panel.

    Shot videos ONLY in landscape. For photos choose what's you like. Maybe you have to rotate photos on PC. What's your operating system?

    When I upload photos to iPhoto from my iPhone and then press delete from iPhone it does not delete them, how do I fix this?

    I am having the same problems as this person. I see that someone said there is no way to retrieve the pictures once it gets stuck in recovery mode.
    Then further along someone said that there are data retrieval methods except they have something to do with jail breaking a phone.
    My phone is already jail broken. It was kind of a gift from the company I work for- it was a fellow employees before. He jail broke it and then it was given to me. After I got it I activated the 4 and tried to back up everything. It didn't work and "Springboard" forced the phone into safety mode. So I could use it with the old dude's apps and my contacts. I made the mistake of using the phone for wedding dress shopping with a friend. I took tons of pictures.
    After this I found out the messages I was seeing meant it was jail broken. At&t said to force restore the phone - iTunes wouldn't recognize it in safety mode. I'm an idiot and didn't realize what this meant for my pictures. It didn't work (error 1611) - thankfully. Now it is stuck in recovery mode (iTunes icon and USB cable picture).
    Can I access that media in any way? It never suceeded restoring itself so is it still there? The phone is jail broken already so is there a method I can use?

  • When I save photos to external hard drive they lose the names I have typed in

    when I save photos to external hard drive they lose the names I have typed in on the MacBook

    Hello and thank you for your reply.  When I export, this is what I have used:
    File Settings:
    Image Format:  JPEG
    Color Space:  sRGB
    Quality : 80-100
    I have not checked the box for "output sharpening", although I did minor sharpening as part of my edit process in LR.
    For Image Sizing, I have not changed anything. This is what is currently selected:  "resize to fit" box is checked and "long edge" is selected, 500 pixels.  Resolution 72 pixels per inch. The "don't enlarge" button is NOT checked. 
    I'm hoping this is where my issue resides!!
    Thank you!

  • Web Photo Gallery Missing from Photoshop CS4

    Has anyone else found this to be valuable feature that is no longer available? We used this feature regularly as a method for proofing our customers and I have found that the one that is included in Bridge is sorely lacking from the Photoshop version.
    Has anyone found a solution or something that works similarly that is can be customized as deeply?

    Just to let you know that I followed the instructions in the PDF. Here they are sightly re-edited by me:
    To retore Web Photo Gallery functionality:
    Close Photoshop and use Explorer to view the extra stuff on the CS4 install DVD.
    Here's what you need to copy from the Photoshop CS4 install disk and where it goes:
    1. copy "Goodies\Optional plug-ins\Plug-ins 32-bit\Automate\WebContactSheetII" plug-in
    to the "Adobe Photoshop CS4/Plugins/Automate" folder
    (note there's a 64bit version in the Plug-ins 64-bit folder if that's what you're using)
    in my case it goes into "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Presets\"
    2. copy "Goodies\Presets\Web Photo Gallery" folder (the whole FOLDER)
    into the "Adobe Photoshop CS4/Presets" folder
    I then have "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Presets\Web Photo Gallery\"
    (This is the part that adds the default templates to choose from)
    To add functionality to Bridge (xp and vista destination folders are a bit different):
    3A (for Windows XP)
    copy the FOLDER "Goodies\Optional plug-ins\Bridge Startup Scripts\photoshop_web_contact_sheet" folder (the whole FOLDER)
    into "Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Startup Scripts CS4\Adobe Photoshop\"
    copy the SCRIPT file "photoshop_web_contact_sheet.jsx" from "Goodies\Optional plug-ins\Bridge Startup Scripts\"
    into "Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Startup Scripts CS4\Adobe Photoshop\
    3B (for Vista)
    copy the FOLDER "Goodies\Optional plug-ins\Bridge Startup Scripts\photoshop_web_contact_sheet" folder (the whole FOLDER)
    into "Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Startup Scripts CS4\Adobe Photoshop/"
    copy the SCRIPT file "photoshop_web_contact_sheet.jsx" from "Goodies\Optional plug-ins\Bridge Startup Scripts\"
    into "Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Startup Scripts CS4\Adobe Photoshop\"
    As you can see there's a bit of surgery to do. But if you're careful everything will work as before.
    Hope this somewhat re-written 'how to" helps.

  • When I place photos on the cloud to share with friends, the photo IDinformation I have entered with the photo does not transfer.  Is there a way to have the text follow the photo in the cloud?

    When I place an Aperture photo on the cloud to share with friends, the idenfifcation information I have entered for the photo does not transfer to the cloud and thus my friends get only the photo.  Is there a setting I am missing that would allow the text to go along with the photograph?

    The photo stream will transfer the EXIF information set by the camera and the filname/version name. Try to get any information you want to transfer into the filename by batch changing the filename with "write to master" enabled. Aloso, you can set a comment, when sharing the image to the Photo Stream.

  • WHY is  it that when I download photos and videos from my iphone to my computer they are rotated?

    WHY is it that when I download photos & videos from my iphone to my computer, they are rotated?

    Because the picture/video viewer you're using is not clever enough to respect the orientation tag embedded in iPhone video and image files so it 'knows' which way up you were holding the phone when you shot the photo or video.
    Try a better image/video viewer or computer OS.

  • HT201302 The Logo device doesn't show when Importing personal photos and videos from my iOS device to my computer

    When I connect my iPod Touch to my computer (Windows 7) the Photos option that used to pop up, doesn't pop up anymore. I don't know what has changed, if any, on my computer or iPod. I want to import my pictures from my iPod to my computer but the computer isn't detecting the iPod, but the iTunes does, which confuses me. So when I open the Computer folder, the logo for my iPod does not show. iTunes atuomatically recongizes it and starts syncing. This has been happening for quite a while now (Over a month, haven't kept track of how long). Please help me!

    Maybe:

  • Copyright stamp - when I publish photo's directly from LR3 to Facebook the copyright is missing?

    My images are copyrighted and if for example I export the photos to a folder and then upload the photos from that photo to Facebook the Copyright stamp is there as it should be. However when I publish directly from Lightroom to Facebook the copyright is missing and I can't figure out why this is? Any help would be appreciated!

    Thank you Klaus1.The large font, I copied and pasted from my mail box.I'm visually impaired...not to a huge degree but it helps to use the large font.I believe you are right about the copyright on the imac stuff but if facebook decide otherwise, you have to reply electronically to their challenge.If you can't provide a reference directly from the copyright owner then they remove the video.I believe this is a programmed response and no human is involved which now makes it impossible for me to get my video uploading restored.They detect added soundtrack automatically and then challenge.There are many others in the same boat and facebook will not communicate.They have various discussion sites on which I have left messages including Mark Zuckerbergs own facebook but I don't think anyone from facebook ever reads them.I intend to start a second facebook which I can use purely to get my videos uploaded as a lot of my friends enjoy them BUT don't want fall foul of their programming again.If only iMac would put something on the net to this effect.I think it is so unfair that with modern technology it is impossible to contact these large conglomerates personally and receive an email response.I tried emailing [email protected] but I got a failure notice.If you have any ideas on how to get verification from apple direct, I would be very grateful.Thank You.
