Why are my photos not as sharp and clear in online album

I've been struggling thru this make-an-album thing and will not given up. I have continued to work thru this first album to be posted on line. I'm almost there. I've sorted thru the templates and only found one that shows my photos large enough to see and appreciate but they seem to be degraded - not sharp and clear. And that template cuts off my captions to the photos. I just want a slideshow, full screen, full resolution and with all my captions. I thought that was what Photoshop Elements 8 and my Adobe acct allowed me to do.
I take a lot of pixs with a Pentax K20D at 14.5M.  I have not been able to share any of my photos, as taken, thru my email because they are too big.  Now it looks like PS8/Adobe dumbs they down.
I'm new to this....so what am I missing????

Get SmugMug photo sharing. For a few dollars a year your photos will look fantastic. It is much better value and has unlimited storage unlike Photoshop.com and the full screen slideshow with captions look even more impressive on widescreen monitors.

  • Why are my photos not as sharp when I import them into Facebook from the Aperture Projects file, compared to when I 'share' them with Facebook within the Aperture programme? There is a noticeable difference and has been spoiling my photos for some time.

    Hi all, I take wildlife photos (mostly birds) as a hobby, and have become frustrated with the quality of my photos recently when shared online, particularly Facebook.
    I started blaming my camera ( a Canon 7D) as I changed it a few months ago from a Canon 550D, and I soon noticed that the images were not as good. Then I realised it was when I started using Aperture.
    I started by using the 'share' option within Aperture but I soon realised that then I have no control over the creation of an album, and the photos start appearing on facebook before I have finished uploading them and given them captions. Plus if I subsequently move them or export them to my back up drive then they disappear from Facebook!
    So I started creating albums within Facebook and then importing the photos from the aperture projects file on my computer. Because they are imported I can then delete or move the aperture file and the photos stay on facebook. Otherwise my macbook was becoming completely full.
    However to test my theory I have today uploaded the same photo edited in Aperture stored in the same projects folder using the two different methods described above, and there is a very distinct difference between the quality of the two images. The shared ones are very much sharper than the imported ones.
    I am a computer novice and don't know how to check what the quality settings are, or how to adjust anything to improve the way the photos go into facebook. I do have a manual but I just cant understand it :-(
    I have tried a free sample of Lightroom 5 and my photos  look amazing, there is such a difference, but I don't want to give up with Aperture unless the problem really can't be solved.
    Sorry for such a long first post, I would be very very grateful for any help you can give me!
    Regards
    Susan 

    Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
    It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
    1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
    2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
    I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
    I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
    Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
    If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
    If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
    1. Right click images you want to share.
    2. Select Export version.
    3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
    4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
    This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
    See how you go.

  • Re: Why are there numbers not showing up on my verizon online call and texts log?

    I am having the same problem with texts not appearing on my online text log and have also noticed a huge increase in data since my two sons have had their iPhone 5s.  I have the iPhone 4.  Two problems here
    iPhone users DO appear.  In the posted questions and response below, you indicate that if we are all using iPhones then we are not using the Verizon network but using data.  HOW DO I STOP THIS DATA USAGE AND RETURN TO USING THE NETWORK?  I can't afford the data charges that I am getting.. HELP!!  and Thank you.

    If you are all using iPhones, then it's likely the texts are going through iMessages and therefore use data.  Since the texts are not using the Verizon network, but the app, they do not show up in the logs.  The app is not specifically blocking the texted numbers from showing up, but the information comes through Verizon as data usage, not numbers texted.   

        Sparkyjames81,
    Lets figure out just where those texts are going! There are many apps that can be downloaded from the Play Store for Android phones that will allow messages to be sent over the internet, and therefore they are not actually text messages and will not show up in our records. Even Facebook has their own messaging app available that does this.
    If you have an iPhone, they come with a service called iMessage that allows for messages to other Apple devices be sent via the internet, and this will also not show up on our records. These are all ways to bypass our actual texting services, and since these messages are not being sent as texts they do not show up on our records.

  • Why are there numbers not showing up on my verizon online call and texts log?

    << Discussion  moved from All Things Community to Apple for better exposure >>
    Why are there numbers not showing up on my call and texts log when i look this up online at verizon? There is one number that my daughter texts and calls a lot i found from her phone log but not one time does it show when i look this up on the Verizon wireless call log???  We all have iphones is there an application or something that can block certain calls from showing up? It clearly has texts on her phone from this number why would it not be on the call log?

    Thank you for your reply.
    However, wouldn't an iMessage show up different than a text? It looks just like every other text on her phone.  We all have iphones in this house and they always show up as texts on  the call log but this one number seems to be blocked somehow from showing up on the text log. And there are texts from weeks ago and it's from an actual number not computer or any weird/odd code and yet it never comes across on the text log when i look it up. 
    If you are correct and it's coming across as iMessage is there a way for me to block texts coming across this way so they all show up on the text log?

  • TS3999 Why are my photos not showing in my web journal that I created with iPhoto?

    I Created many journals in the past with no problem this weekend I created a new journal and when I access the website the photos do not appear., only grey squares with my notes the date and the weather. I visited the apple Genius Bar and they could not help. They said maybe it is a problem with the Apple Server. apple.com server website shows no problems with their server. Help please

    I've been experiencing the same problem. Both new and old web journals do not display properly. Most photos are gray squares, but if I hit refresh I am sometimes able to partially view the album. This problem occurs both within iPhoto and in various web browsers.
    iPhone and iPad with iOS 7.1.2, and iPhoto 2.0.1

  • Why are my photos not displaying and exporting properly?

    I bought LR5 and have been using it for a few months with no problem. Out of nowhere, my photos don't export properly and my photos look worse in the "Library" module  than the "Develop" module. The photos are not sharp, noisy and the color and contrast are wrong. If I zoom to 1:1 in Library the problem fixes itself but the photos still will not export with all the edits I've made. It's NOT my computer screen so please do not suggest I re calibrate it. I am running on a MacBook Pro with Yosemite! Thank you in advance for your help!

  • HT201077 Why are my photos on my iphone and ipad not the same?

    My camera roll and photo stream on my iphone 4 and ipad 2 are not the same.  I have the same apple id for both and both devices are running ios 7.0.4.
    Any ideas?

    The camera roll contains photos actually taken on your device, or saved from text messages, emails, websites, etc.  Because of this you shouldn't expect both devices to have the same photos in the camera roll.
    The my photo stream album is also usually differerent on your devices.  This happens because photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days (even though they stay on your devices longer).  When you enable photo stream on a device, it can only receive photo stream photos still in iCloud, which are those from the last 30 days.  A consequence of this is that unless you enabled photo stream on both devices within 30 days of each other, one is likely to end up with fewer photo stream photos than the other.

  • Why are my photos not syncing from my iPhone6 to my laptop?

    What is going on with synchronizing photos from iPhone 6 to windows laptop?
    I spend so much time searching for photos, it's ridiculous.
    What the heck is iCloud for? I don't get it - nothing works.
    I am forced to use Flickr to synchronize my photos, because I don't have any idea what Apple is doing with them.
    Ugh! I'm sick of wasting time "fixing" my device - who will figure out a way to make these things WORK???

    Thank you - I have read that support column many times.
    However, when I open the folder indicated by the article, the photos are NOT there.
    The last time my Photo Stream folder updated was April 2014. For awhile, my photos were uploading to a folder called iCloud Photos, with a sub-folder called Photo Stream.  The last time that one updated was September 2014.  I have the latest version of iTunes and iOS.
    So, again, I ask - why aren't my photos synchronizing with my laptop via Photo Stream?  I have to connect the phone with a WIRE to my laptop and then I can backup my photos. (Which I do frequently, anyway, in order to save the photos permanently.)
    Why don't you guys invent something like Flickr - that AUTOMATICALLY synchronizes photos from my extremely expensive iPhone 6 to my other devices? That would be so handy.
    Sorry for being annoyed, but it's annoying.  Every time I try to do something with a photo, I have to figure out how to get it off my phone. I email, message, download, save to Dropbox, save to Flickr.  It's ridiculous.  If Photo Stream worked, I could just use that - it would be so SIMPLE I might actually be able to get to the project, instead of wasting time messing with the stupid photos.
    If there's something I'm doing wrong, I wish someone would help me.

  • Why are my photos not showing up under "Photos" in the "Library" section

    I tried uploading photos from the new year, but they are only showing up under "last imported" and "last 12 months" etc... They won't show up under the "photos" section.. They stop on Dec. 31, 2013.. How do I get my pics from the new year to show up? (using iPhoto)

    If the  photos are in last import then they are in you library - last import is not a place - it is a view of photos in your library - you can also view these photos ine vents and in photos
    The most common cause of your not finding them is an incorrect sort (view menu ==> sort photos) or incorrect date settings on your camera

  • HT6413 Why are my photos not uploaded to my photo stream on my PC?

    Running Win7 on my PC.  Photos taken on Ipad or Iphone 5 used to upload automatically.  Updated to Iphone 6 and they no longer do so.  Have checked all settings and they appear to be in order.  Any reason they should not upload to the photo stream?

    I found the problem.  AS it turns out, when I created my iCloud account I eneded up creating a NEW ID.  The process is a little bit confusing and it is apparently easy to get one ID on the iCloud on your iMac and another on your iPhone.  This is what I had done.  It was a simple matter of signing out of iCloud on the Mac and then signing back in wiht my original Apple ID (the one on the iPhone) once I signed backin, pictures starte appearing in the Photo Stream.  Easypeasy!

  • Why are these Webservices not supported in VC ?

    Hi all,
    I am using NW04s SP9, and I plan to make MDM-Application with VC.
    Therefore I introduced MDM-WebService into NW and defined it on VC.
    but "searchRecords" of "MDMSearchRecords" was displayed with "Not supported"
    in the right frame .
    Mmm...
    So I decided to think from a beginning.
    [http://www.27seconds.com/Holidays/US/USHolidayService.asmx?wsdl|http://www.27seconds.com/Holidays/US/USHolidayService.asmx?wsdl]
    I defined above it on VC and I used "Getholidaydate" .
    Good! .
    However,,, "Getholidaysforyear" was also "Not supported".
    Why are these methods "Not supported" ? .
    and how will come to be usable these methods in VC? .
    Thanx in advance.

  • Why are the photos I copied onto a DVD from I-Photo not viewable by a Windows PC?

    Why are the photos I copied onto a DVD from iPhoto not viewable on a Windows PC?

    Because you did it wrong? It's hard to know unless you tell us what you did.
    What should work:
    Select the photos you want to share
    File -> Export and export them to a folder on the desktop. Burn that to the disk with the Finder.

  • Why when I make a dvd from an album are my photos not in order?

    Why when I make a dvd from an album are my photos not in order?

    hansm99079164 a écrit:
    Why when I make a dvd from an album are my photos not in order?
    Simply because your Explorer/Finder only takes into account the file names and dates of your files.
    For instance, in Windows, you have to tell the explorer to sort by 'date taken' otherwise the default sort orders are file dates or file names.
    If you have given a 'custom' sort order to your albums, the only way for the Explorer to sort in the same way is to set the custom sort order in the album, export to a new folder with the 'rename' option - same starting text string plus order.

  • Why are my thumbnails not matching photos?

    Why are my thumbnails not matching the photos in my smart album?

    I am rebuilding my thumbnails--a slow process I am learning.  We'll see how that does.  I believe I have the latest version of both iPhoto and OS.  What happens is that the thumbnail does not match the photo.  The photo in the thumbnail is in the same series, but not the same.  Many of the thumbnails are the same photo from the series.  I'll report back on the success of the thumbnail rebuilding process.
