Why are my photographs losing resolution when I rotate them

Most of the photographs are in portrait orientation, and for some reason the camera(canon 6d) stopped detecting it, so they are stored as landscape.. So I need to rotate them in Lightroom. The rotation causes them to look reaaly low resolution. This does not happen in other editing softwares.

Rotating in LR doesn’t change the underlying image data, it is just a flag that says to display the data differently, but when you rotate the photos, the preview would need to be redone, and a low-resolution preview is the initial one you’d see until LR has a chance to compute another one, which is typically immediately. 
If previews are not getting recomputed immediately, then your computer may be busy doing something else, or there could be a problem with your previews cache, or with LR, itself.  You can force previews to be recomputed by selecting the photos and then choosing Library (module) / Library (menu item) / Previews / Build Standard-Sized (or 1:1) Previews.  Try this and see what happens.
What happens in Develop when you adjust something with one of these rotated images, does the preview become sharp after a few moments?

For some copyright issues i won't be able to post any photos as they are for clients

  • Why are my book pages enlarged when I send them to be printed?

       I have created a 40-some page iPhoto book that looks fine when I scan the pages prior to sending it to be printed. However, I get an email from Apple saying that the book is unreadable or unprintable. Upon looking at the PDF version of the book, I see that each page has been slightly enlarged, so that part of the image is not shown because it is outside the boundaries of the page. I assume that is why it is unprintable. I am trying to print a 13" by 10" hardcover book using iPhoto 11. Each of my pages is a single jpeg containing multiple photos (which I have assembled in Photoshop Elements) and each jpeg is 13 by 10 in Photoshop Elements.
       One more thing: on my final scan of the pages, prior to sending the book to the printer, I usually find one or two pages that have automatically been slightly increased from from the minimum size. Each time, I have manually set such pages back to minimum size.
        Can anyone suggest a fix for this problem?

    That's due to the bleed settings for the pages.  You can edit the iPhoto preferences with Pref Setter to change the bleed amount or turn it off entirely.

  • Why are my photos zooming out when I set them as wallpaper?

    This morning when I was setting some photos as wallpapers I noticed that they are zooming out and whenever I tried to to zoom them in it kept on going back to what it was before in the zoom out and it's not showing the whole picture as it is in my photo Gallary. I tried resetting, I tried turning off the parxell and it's still doing that. It's sorta upsetting cause I don't like my photos enlarged. It looks awful that way. Is there anyway to fix this?

    Corrupted database. What version of iphoto are you using?

  • Why are some jpg images scrambled when they appear in my screen saver?   The same images look fine in Preview and Finder.  Some images appear scrambled in the screen saver 'preview' window and the actual screen saver. Other jpg images look fine.

    Why are some jpg images scrambled when they appear in my screen saver?   The same images look fine in Preview and Finder.  Some images appear scrambled in the screen saver 'preview' window and the actual screen saver. Other jpg images look fine.

    The desktop image is fine, taken from the exact same pool of jpg photos.  However, as soon as the slide show screen saver comes on, the images are scrambled.  What is it about the apple screen saver algorithm that scrambles the pics?

  • I've just started using the App Tabs. I think this feature could be handy but why are the sites not updated when I start Firefox. Now I have to manually update the site which is somewhat of a downer. Does any of you know where I'm going wrong?

    To answer the post title FireFox save all downloads automatically in the download folder, which you can find in the Documents folder. If you want to choose where to save your downloads go to tools>options>check always ask me where to save files.
    Secondly, I am assuming you have IE 8 installed as this is the only version that supports this fix that is currently not in beta. Go to control panel>internet options>advanced tab and reset the settings at the bottom. This may or may not fix the problem but it is a good first step.

  • Why are website icons now removed when history is cleared?

    Hi,
    Just a very quick question:
    Why are website icons now removed when you clear the history in Safari?
    I have noticed this in the current Lion (and Mountain Lion) versions, this happens, when in previous versions they remained after clearing the history.
    Is there any way to change this?
    Thanks!

    Safari 6
    Safari > Help (menu in the menubar) > Show All Help Topics
    Search term "Clear History".
    "Clearing your history also empties caches, removes website icons, and clears the list of recent searches. Website icons are small graphics that help identify sites on the Internet. You see them in the address and search field, the bookmarks list, and other places. You can see your recent searches by clicking the magnifying glass at the left end of the address and search field when it’s empty".
    That is how clearing history works in Safari 6.
    There is no way change it.
    Best.

    ok sorry everyone but i solved it myself but the solution is so nuts i've posted it here to help others who have the same problem.
    to setup a comcast imap account on your iphone:
    go to mail, contacts, etc in settings
    under accts, select add account
    select "other"
    new screen, choose "add mail account"
    now on the new acct screen you must enter your name, email address and password for your GMAIL acct ! (yes i said your gmail acct !, or some other acct with a NON comcast address).
    hit next
    then the acct verifies
    when verified a screen will open with all the acct settings for this acct AND @ the top of the screen are the 2 buttons > imap or POP
    select imap and THEN CHANGE ALL THE ACCOUNT information to the comcast account !
    then hit next and the account will take a couple minutes to verify but it will verify and now you have a comcast imap acct set up on your iphone.  The problem must be that when the iphone sends the initial verify acct info to comcast (if you enter that information first) the comcast server is simply not setup yet to signal the iphone that there is an imap option.

  • Will i have to repurchase games i bought on my iphone for my ipad as they are in a smaller screen when i play them

    Will i have to repurchase games i bought on my iphone for my ipad as they are in a smaller screen when i play them.
    also isnt game center supposed to save my progress in a game as it is making me begin the games all over again.

    Not necessarily.
    Some games are "universal", meaning they are for the iPad and iPhone natively.
    These are denoted by a "+" on the price/purchase button.
    iPhone games will work on the iPad, the screen can be doubled in size.
    The graphics aren't as nice looking and text tends to be fuzzy.
    No, game center is about badges and finding opponents for games.
    Your game progress is saved when you sync with iTunes.

  • My imported objects distort when I rotate them

    I'm importing objects from illustrator into After Effects, but when I rotate them they distort. I also noticed that the anchor points for my objects are way off, but readjusting those anchor points doesn't help to alleviate the rotation problem.
    I'm usig the CS3 suite, if that helps.

    I'd guess that you're working in a non square project. I'd also guess that you have some square pixel images that are being interpreted as non square.
    Please give us the specs of your project so that we can help you. There's about a zillion combinations that can cause problems, but they all go away if your footage is interpreted at the pixel aspect ratio that it was created in.

  • I am losing resolution when I resize or rotate a line I have drawn.

    Can anyone help me?  I have been using photoshop to turn my drawings into digital stamps for crafting.  I always import my image, then with the pen tool I re-draw it in photoshop.  Usually I can take say my eye I had drawn and resize it or rotate it and it's perfect.  Lately I try any of that ant the lines will get very pixelated or lose resolution making them super fuzzy and ugly.  Does anyone know why this is now happening?
    I used to be able to duplicate it and flip it to have two perfect eyes, but again when I do that now same thing happens, it gets horribly pixelated. 
    I have attached two examples...
    Any helps is very much appreciated.  I am having the worst time trying to figure out why it's doing this all of the sudden. It has never done that before.  I have always been able to duplicate, rotate, and resize without it losing resolution or had the lines so fuzzy or pixelated.
    Thank you,
    Betty

    Hi again,
    Did you mean screen shots of my settings?  Maybe that would help?
    These are all my settings, and each time I draw a line and flip it or rotate it, it starts to lose resolution.  It is also now doing it when I take the finished file and place it into a "guide" file for making a watermark catalog image. Once I shrink the photo it looses resolution really badly.

  • Losing resolution when exporting...

    I have made a few movies using photos and video clips set to music. When I export them, either using Quicktime or sharing them with iDVD, they lose a lot of resolution. Is there a way to burn these movies to DVD without losing quality?

    I used the Ken Burns feature on every photo (70 total). Some of the photos are 3264x2448(8MP), most are 2592x1944(5MP), and a few are scanned photos size app. 2711x2033.
    Okay. Would assume the still are being stored in your project as 1920x1440 frames. (You can check this out for yourself and I don't know if working in PAL mode would be different that NTSC.) In any case, the stored image resolution will be the limiting factor for export resolution.
    When finished, I exported the video in Large size 720x576. At this resolution the quality was very deteriorated.
    Just finished making a dozen runs duplicating your work flow in Compressor Native PAL, Compressor Native NTSC, 768x576, 640x480, etc. and cannot duplicate you problem without doing something like using a filter to overdrive the contrast like this:
    Preview in iMovie '08
    Output in QT Player
    Output w/Overdriven Contrast in QT Player
    Apple Care recommended that I share with iDVD, but I got the same results. Then I started experimenting with Quicktime, which is where I am now. I have tried several different sizes, including my own concoctions with the custom function (1382x1036 is what I'm exporting at now, I want to keep a 4:3 aspect ratio).
    As indicated above, you can open your project folder and check the "Still Images" QT file which contains your stored photos to see their resolution. Max resolution depends on your project import settings (e.g., 1920x1080, 960x540, etc.) and their orientation. In any case, this is the max height resolution to which you can export your project at optimum quality for its aspect ratio. Remember, however, that whatever resolution you export your project to will later be re-scaled in iDVD down to 720x576 (PAL) or 720x480 (NTSC) for burning to DVD. If you think the increased processing time is worth whatever increase in quality you may achieve, then go for it.
    The resolution looks acceptable (once I shrink the movie down to fit on the screen), but as I mentioned the color saturation is too high. In the quicktime filters, I adjusted the saturation down to 80 percent, and reduced the red by 5. Still waiting on the results...
    Still haven't a clue here.
