Why are my images grainy/pixalated in full screen preview but fine in the organiser

Using Elements 10 on a laptop.  Images are fine when editing and viewing in organiser.  However, when i view them full screen they seem pixalated or grainy ....

Sorry ... doesn't seem to have any effect.  Its set to full screen anyway so it fits to screen,we're not zooming in any further.
Is there any way to get help directly from Adobe on such matters?

  • Exposing the Image Filename in Bridge Full Screen Preview?

    While in the "Full Screen Preview" if I enter "5" on the numeric keypad the filename and five stars appear in the lower-left hand portion of the screen.
    Is there any way to make the filename appear without entering a label value?  (if the image was already rated, entering a "5" would overwrite the original image rating)
    Thanks!

    Thanks Yammer, but the same issue holds.  The picture appears, but no filename (or rating) until you assign a rating (by hitting the numeric "9", for instance), and then the filename and rating remain as you view other pictures.
    I am simply looking for a way to have the filename be present without having to apply a rating (which would have the adverse affect of overwriting the existing rating).
    THANKS!

  • Why does ESC work to exit some full screen apps but not all?

    Example, while in full screen if I am in the web browser(I use firefox) clicking esc doesn't exit full screen, but when I am in photo booth esc works just fine. I noticed it with a few apps, sometimes it works and other times you have to go and click the exit option in the top right corner. I'm new to mac, this is my first mac and I only got it a few days ago so I'm quite uneducated with the software.

    I found another thread that helped.  I switched to 3-finger swipe then back to 4-finger, however everything froze and I lost my curser.  I actually had to force quit the Finder twice before it took effect.  Now it works.  That thread was:  https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3191453?start=0&tstart=0

  • Why are my Photos very poor when printed from PSE9, but fine from iPhoto.

    I have the most up to date versions of Mac OS and printer driver for Epson Stylus Photo R280.  I have tried many different print settings in PSE9, but my photos are still very grainy and poor quality.  Sometimes just a blank sheet pulls through the printer. Please help.

    Hope you choosing the correct paper type and profile settings. Also choosing the correct color management will surely help as i myself use the same printer on win as well as mac and not observing any such issues.
    print, more options, color management, color handling, let elements manage color,

    why is it this option disabled? do the generate monitor sized previews increase a lot the cache a lot!
    Potentially, yes. The standard Preview is 1024 pixels, longest size. Some people (like Omke) have displays 2560 pixels longest side, potentially increasing file size by over 500%.

  • Why doesn't firefox open as a full screen page?

    I tried opening firefoz but it didn't come to be a full screen but safari did. I would use safari but then i have to redo all of my bookmarks!

    Firefox is not supported yet using full screen mode. However, you can expand the window to full screen by clicking on the green button at the top left, or dragging the window to full size. Does not hide the menu and dock like full screen mode, but will cover the screen.

  • Creating Link out of Full Screen Preview in Acrobat Pro 8

    Hi,
    Maybe someone can help.
    I have created a document in Acrobat Pro 8 that automatically opens in Full Screen Preview for the user. I want to create a button (link) on the title page which will allow the user to go back to normal view. In the links menu you can set to Open Full Screen preview but not get out of it... The only alternative that I have found is to include the copy on the title page "press esc to exit"
    Is there any alternative to this????
    Thanks in advance

    Not sure why you mention 'preview'..
    However, the 'fullscreen' menu item that you can set from a button is a 'toggle', so if you have a fullscreen button on a document that has fullscreen as the open option, clicking the button will take you to normal view.
    It isn't essential to use a script: just use a button action for 'execute a menu item' > Window Fullscreen.

  • How do I show ratings in full-screen preview?

    I'm new to Bridge, so I bet this falls into the new-user silly question category rather than a missing feature. How do I show ratings in full-screen preview?I touch the space bar to get the preview. If I touch a number 1-5, it adds that rating and a little oval box shows up in the lower left with the file name and the star rating. All very nice. Then if I scroll through my images, that same oval shows up for each image, with its respective rating. Again, nice. But each time I first enter full-screen preview, the oval is not displayed. How do I get it to show up, short of adding or modifying a rating? Surely there is some keystroke or gesture.

     --- How very odd. So the only way I can see the ratings in full-screen preview is to take a potentially destructive action. Adding a rating destroys whatever rating might have already been there.
    What I have done for a workaround is to re-rate an image to same value.  If I start a sequence of full-screen preview display I'll look at the rating of the first image (one star, for instance) then when image is displayed full screen I'll re-rate it one star.  Starts display of ratings in full screen without altering rating.  Then, as you mention in OP, I can sequence through images in full screen view and rating will be displayed.

  • Why are my pictures grainy (not clear)?

    why are my pictures grainy?

    The resolution of the cameras on the iPad are very low, something like 1 meg, and they are mainly for things like Facetime. If you have very good light then you may get acceptable photos from it, but you are probably better off using a digital compact or even your phone for photos

  • Why are my images scrolling from outside the Page width?

    Why are my images scrolling from outside the Page width? I am positive i has all the settings correct, to have an image parallax scroll from the edge of the page into the page and out again. But the images are flying in from the browser width - not the page width. This is not the effect I am after.
    Any suggestions on how to fix this? Given the key position is only linked to the height, I can't for the life of me work out how to ensure the images start moving from a certain position onthe left and right of the page.
    Thanks

    I think the effect you are seeing is a result of how the lineHeight is set up. By default, the lineHeight will be calculated as 120% of the size of the largest thing on the line -- in your case, this is the inline graphic. This is designed to leave space between the line before and the line with the graphic. So it is taking the height of the graphic, multiplying by 120%, and making this the distance between the previous line and the line with the graphic. So the bigger the graphic, the bigger the space above the graphic. Normally this works well with text, but in this case you may want to get closer to "set solid". You can do this by setting the lineHeight to 100%. Or you may wish to leave a couple of percent for the descenders of the previous line. Or, another alternative that may work well for you if you really know exactly where you want the line set, you could measure the graphic, add on the number of extra pixels to leave for the descenders, and make the lineHeight a constant. So you could do something like this:
    <img lineHeight="104%" height="411"/>
    or this:
    <img lineHeight="423" height="411"/>
    Obviously you would still need to specify the source and any other parameters you want on the image.
    Note that if you are trying to fit a 200 pixel high graphic into a 200 pixel high container, you will hit the same problem -- in order to fit the graphic, the container will have to be slightly bigger than the graphic in order to fit the descenders on the last line. This is true even if the last line contains only the graphic, and no descenders (or text) at all.
    Hope this helps,

  • Full screen preview and slideshow are blurry / fuzzy

    Hi folks-
    I just upgraded from CS2 to CS4, in part to improve efficiency of selecting photos - I wanted the zoom and loupe features. Unfortunately a very basic function has been compromised and I'm hoping there's a solution: In both full-screen preview and slideshow the full-screen image is notably blurry. This is a problem for two reasons: 1. I can't judge pictures accurately by just flipping through them in full-screen mode (without zooming to 100% to see if they are well-focused). 2. I can't use Slideshow for, well, slideshows. I've had to resort to keeping another app (like Windows Picture Viewer) open just to be able to quickly flip through and evaluate images full-screen or to show slideshows.
    I've tried setting all the options related to image quality (they mostly have to do with caching thumbnails and speeding 100% viewing); I've tried purging the cache files. Nothing helps.
    Any ideas?  Thanks!

    It seems to me that there is something wrong with it.
    I am trying Bridge CS4 as a viewer for my JPEG files.
    I also noticed that the previews were fuzzy. I activated the high-quality previews as well as the option to generate the previews at screen size.
    Here's what I noticed. I went to check out a specific photo that is quite sharp with a number of straight lines, angles, details, where it's very easy to detect a lack of sharpness. That photo immediately looked fuzzy to me, which didn't jive with my memory of it. I quickly opened it in other viewers, which displayed it as intended with all the expected sharpness.
    So, I went through the settings to see where the problem could be and I immediately thought of checking the box to get software previews instead of hardware, restarted the app, purged the cache, tried again. There my photo had recovered its sharpness, or at least most of it. I thought I found the culprit, but not quite.
    I went to browse other photos and found one in particular with a lot of fine detail (hair) and that photo also didn't display all the sharpness that it should have (I was still using software mode). The difference was very slight and to make sure of it it required A/B comparison between Bridge and PS, but there was a difference.
    Now I tried the opposite. I went back to hardware rendering mode, restarted, purged the cache, tried again. That second photo looked alright in preview, but the previous photo looked fuzzy again.
    So, it doesn't work the same way for each photo...
    What's the main difference between the first photo, obviously fuzzy in hardware mode, and the second one, alright in hardware mode but slightly fuzzier in software? The ratio. The first one is a vertical photo, the second one is horizontal (close to square).
    I quickly checked other vertical photos and they showed the same behavior...
    Now staying in hardware mode, I noticed something else. When I preview the vertical photo and click on it, or double click, it quickly jumps, switching between 2 versions of the photo: the one displayed originally (fuzzy) and another one, with a very slightly different size, which is sharp. During that manipulation it also briefly displays "100%" at the top of the screen. It doesn't stick when you click and immediately switches back, so it looks like a glitch.
    Now in software mode, I tried the same, this time you can click once on the photo (which is originally displayed *almost* sharp). When you click once, it displays "100%" but also displays a very slightly smaller version that is clearly fuzzy. Clicking again goes back to the other, less fuzzy one, but doesn't display "100%" this time.
    Doing the same test on horizontal photos shows no change that I can see.
    So, it seems to me that in the preview mode, Bridge has trouble displaying some photos (vertical ones?) in their actual resolution (100%)
    and since there is a slight resizing going on, it brings fuzziness. This doesn't explain the very slight fuzziness seen on horizontal photos in software mode.
    Now I'll mention, for those still awake, that I saw no fuzziness on the same vertical photos when I go to Review Mode with *hardware* rendering. Photos there are sharp. Now if I go to the review mode with software rendering enabled, vertical photos are not 100% sharp (akin to the small difference I mentioned earlier while in software mode), while they are sharper in preview.
    To sum up, it seems that the only configuration that gives me consistently 100% sharp (=as they were meant to be after post-processing) photos no matter what their orientation, is when I stay in hardware rendering mode and use the Review Mode, instead of preview.
    This all really smells like a bug.
    For info, I am using Windows 7 and an ATI HD4850 card, and this only about processed JPEG files, not RAW files.
    Perhaps the preview is really meant as a quick preview and not a tool to view final photos at 100% accuracy...

  • Full screen preview image quality?

    I've recently taken up the 'Creative Cloud plan for Photoshop customers' and am getting to grips with Lightroom for the first time; previously I've used CS6 and Elements 9 & 11.
    However, I have a problem with the quality of full screen previews of images on my secondary monitor, similar to the problem I encountered with Elements 11, discussed in another thread here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5358611#5358611   (the full screen preview whilst OK was not as sharp with PSE 11 as with PSE 9 due to a different algorhythm used the produce the preview quicker)
    I also use FastStone viewer & that too renders the full screen previews much sharper. It seems that with Lightroom too, full screen previews are just not that sharp - OK but not bitingly sharp. I've even noticed that when opening an image for editing in LR, it doesn't look as sharp as if openined in Photoshop CS6 or CC.
    Any thoughts folks? Is there a way to make full screen previews sharper? Of course it could be argued i suppose that PSE 9, FastStone & CS over-sharpen... or even that the 'problem' may not be so apparent on another monitor ( I have my full screen previews on a Dell Ultrasharp 20" 1600 x 1200).

    Hi,
    The way full screen slideshow is currently implemented Muse is resampling the hero images to the size they are in Design view. For most cases that will work fine, but there's no easy way to force a higher resolution image to be output. The only workaround that comes to mind would be to replace the image after publish/upload/export.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards,
    Aish

  • Soft images in Bridge full screen preview

    This has seemed to plague Bridge for a couple of years now… thought that the CS6 update would fix it. This is reproducible on a variety of Macs with and without external displays, all running the latest OS and Adobe updates.
    With 100% previews selected in the preferences and a recently purged cache, browse to a directory of images.
    Preview the first image by selecting it and pressing the space bar:
    Arrow to the right to preview the second image in the folder. Then arrow left to review the original image:
    Notice how blurry it becomes. And subsequent images are rendered blurry.
    Hit the escape key to exit and space bar again to re-enter the full screen preview.
    There is possibly some non integral sub-pixel calculations going on, making the image blurry. Clicking once on the image brings up a 100% label at the top and the image almost corrects itself.
    This should be a priority one fix.
    What is Bridge? Adobe® Bridge CS6 digital asset management software is a powerful photo and design organizer that provides centralized access to all your creative blurry assets.

    Welcome to my world. If you search a bit, you should find a few discussions on related topics.
    Your problem sounds like something I see intermittently. Occasionally, Bridge seems incapable of generating a decent full-screen preview. I generally work around this by purging the folder's cache and/or restarting Bridge.
    CS6's Bridge has been reworked quite a lot. It's now 64-bit, and the internal database has been changed to a different system. However, I still see Bridge generating thumbnails and previews unnecessarily, which suggests to me that more work needs to be done.
    One thing I learned recently is that Bridge uses the graphcs hardware to generate previews, so it may be worth trying the Use Software Rendering setting in Preferences (if there is one on CS6 for Mac), to see if it makes any difference. If it did, you may have an issue with your graphics cards and/or software and/or settings.
