Why are the same pictures different in the timeline?

I imported from internet (google/pics) a numbre of stills to use in a movie. They seems to be of the same quality by expending them before I imported them. After importing some of them stays very sharp in browser and timeline/viewer also during playing, others become unsharp as soon as the are being played.
Questions:
1. What am I doing wrong, what to do or prevent?
2. where can you determin and resize the aspect ratio of importing pics without disturbing the picture by importing? Is resizing by editting (timeline; distortion) the only way?
Thanks,
Bruce

1.  Try rendering the images in the Timeline.
2. You can find the basic information about still images (or any other file) by using the "Get Info" selection when you right-click on the file's icon. Or use any still image editing application such as Photoshop.

    Every time I turn my mac off, the desktop background changes. It always returns to the same picture, which was the second or third thing I changed my desktop to after getting my mac. I have background switching unchecked in my preferences, and I have never selected it as an option. Also, when I go to my preferences, it will show the icon of the picture I changed it to, even though the desktop itself has switched back.

    I would start with some basic troubleshooting.

  • My Iphoto library has recently updtaed itself with a same picture icon for every event. I backed up all my photos and deleted all the events in the library. When I imported  a fresh batch of pictures the same picture appeared as the key photo. Help

    Hi,
    My i photo events in the library have updated themselves with a key photo. I really do not want this picture as a key photo on every event.
    I backed up and deleted my entire library. After importing a fresh event, the key photo still remained the same. How can I stop that. 

    Sorry to ask but since we onlhy have words to comunicate with here using them correctly is critical
    iPhoto is an application and lives in your Applications folder
    Your photos are in a database which by default is names iPhoto library and is in your pictures folder
    I still have Iphoto on my computer.
    Is this the application of the intact non-functioning liPhoto library?
    I have copied all the pictures on a USB so I wont loose any data.
    exactly how did you do this?
    Then I deleted all the pictures.
    and exactly how did you do this?
    Have you done this?
    If so what were the results?
    Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your thumbnails (you may need to do several times)

  • Why RW2 & DNG versions of the same picture look much different?

    Dears!
    RAW format for my camera is RW2. I used conversion of RW2 files into DNG to process it in Ps.
    When previewing pictures  in IRFAN VIEW I noticed that RW2 and DNG versions of the same picture (before any processing) are quite different. RW2 one is much sharper and with better collors than DNG.
    Does anybody know why it is like that and if its better to use an external soft to work on RW2 files directly instead of converting them into DNG to process in Ps Camera Raw? Thanks for help!

    Hehehe…  You have an amusing misconception regarding the monitoring and/or moderation of these user to user forums, especially the DNG forum with its minimal traffic. 
    Posts can go unanswered here for months or forever.  Adobe does not monitor the forums.
    You had not mentioned you saw the issue in Ps as well, you only referenced IrfanView, and that was what I  addressed.

  • How can I keep every single photo from saving to "collections""my photo stream""camera role" and just use one folder? And why do I have to delete the same pictures 4 times? In "collections""myphotostream"camera role""deleted photos" I need ONE FOLDER

    im sick of deleting the same picture 4 separate times, I want to limit everything to one folder and only have to delete one time, how? Why does this have to be so complicated

    Photos you take on your camera are in the Camera Roll and are like the film in a camera.
    Photo Stream is an independent stream of photos from all devices that are logged onto the same iCloud account and that have Photo Stream turned on. Photo Stream photos are kept in the cloud for 30 days or up to 1000 photos, whichever comes first, so unless you have a particular photo you just don't want to stay out there for 30 days, you don't really need to delete Photo Stream Photos. They are temporary. Your device will continue to keep your Photo Stream photos from prior to the 30 day limit, but if you switch Photo Stream off in iCloud and then right back on, the only photos that will re-display in Photo Stream on that device are the ones that remain within the 30 Day/1000 photo parameter.
    Collections is simply a single place which shows all of the photos that you have on your device. You do not need to delete photos from Collections. It is just a single place where you can see the contents of all of your albums.
    Photos in albums that you have created on the device itself are tied to the photos in your Camera Roll, so if you delete them from the Camera Roll, it will tell you that it will also be deleted from an album.
    Albums that you have sync'd from your computer should be removed the same way you got them there - by hooking the device up to a the computer you did the sync with, and un-selecting the album from the Photo profile screen.
    So, really, there are only two places that you need to delete photos - Camera Roll and Photo Stream.

  • IPhoto emailing different pictures as the same picture?

    Our iPhoto recently started emailing different pictures that we select as the same photo. Example- We individually select 5 different photos, select Share, and email them. When they come through on email, its the same picture 5 times. Its odd because the photos all have different file numbers in their title, which makes sense since its different pics we're selecting but getting the same ones in email.
    Any idea whats causing this? I did just update to the latest version of iPhoto and didnt have this problem before. Perhaps a new bug in the latest version? I didnt see any other posts about this issue. I'm also using the latest version of Lion.
    Thanks,
    Jason

    Seems to be isolated to the mail on my iPhone somehow.
    Yep.
    Its an issue with how iOS mail interprets the email templates used by iPhoto.
    Let Apple know you are affected by this: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html
    If you don't care about using iPhoto's templates: iPhoto > Preferences > General > Email photos using > and choose Mail  -- This will bypass the templates and iOS devices will see the images properly.
    Cheers.

  • Using Windows 7 and LR 5  when I look at the Keyword List a certain keyword has 7 pictures but when I check the Library Filter with that keyword 350 pictures are shown which includes the 7 pictures that have the keyword.  Why does the Library Filter showi

    Using Windows 7 and LR 5,  when I look at the Keyword List a certain keyword has 7 pictures but when I check the Library Filter with that keyword 350 pictures are shown which includes the 7 pictures that have the keyword.  Why does the Library Filter showing pictures that do not match the query

    Dan,
    Here's what's going on in the catalog you sent me, "Joel & Caitlin's Wedding".  There is the keyword "gwenn", which is explicitly assigned to 7 pics. But keyword "schwartz" has a number of synonyms, including "gwenn", and it is assigned to 25 pics.  There is no overlap between the two sets of pics. 
    I discovered these two occurrences by doing Metadata > Export Keywords, opening the exported file in an editor, and then searching for "gwenn".  I found two occurrences of "gwenn":
    gwenn
    schwartz
        {gwenn}
    From this, you can see that the keyword "schwartz" has 9 synonyms, of which "gwenn" is one.
    The filter criterion "Keywords Contain gwenn" will match the 7 pics that are explicitly assigned the keyword "gwenn", and it will also match the 25 pics assigned the keyword "schwartz", because that keyword has a synonym "gwenn".
    This illustrates the behavior I mentioned above: The criterion "Keywords contains x" will match against any of a pic's assigned keywords, any of those keywords' ancestor keywords, and any of the synonyms of the assigned keywords and their ancestors.
    So LR is operating correctly here, if not in a way that's easy to understand. 
    It appears that you are using the synonyms of "schwartz" to represent individual members of the Schwartz family.  A better way of representing family relationships is to have a parent keyword "Schwartz", with subkeywords for each family member, e.g. "Gwenn Schwartz", "Joe Schwartz", "Jane Schwartz", etc.  Repeating the family name in the subkeywords has a couple of advantages. LR usually only displays the "leaf" name of a keyword, so instead of showing you just "Joe", it will show you "Joe Schwartz", helpful when there are a number of different people whose first name is "Joe".  Also, if you ever export your pics to other software, it may not understand the LR hierarchy and won't show the parent keywords, so again it's more informative to see a keyword named "Joe Schwartz" rather than "Joe".

    We have 2 Galaxy 4 phones that are exactly alike. They are 2-3 minutes different in the time. We share the same network.

        That's pretty strange, runjudy. Are you looking at the time on the weather application or on the top right corner of your phone? If you reboot the phones, do the times sync up? Make sure the devices are both set to automatic in the Date and Time Settings: http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/devices/knowledge_base.html/77713.

  • HT2498 If I use camera window to download my pictures to my computer, and then I copy and paste the pictures to iPhoto. Would I be ending up having the same pictures in two different files in my computer, and so wasting space in my hard drive?

    I recently bought a canon camera. The instructions of the camara recommend to use the canon software (camara window) to download pictures to my computer.  I would like to have my pictures in i-photo because it syncs them to my ipad.
    I want to download the pictures from my camera to camara window, and then drag and drop the pictures to i-photo. If I keep my pictures in both programs would I be wasting space in my computer hard drive by having the same pictures in two different files?

    Yes.
    Ignore the Canon software. It gains you nothing and adds complexity. Just use iPhoto for the lot.

  • Why are lyrics not viewable in itunes in the same way as on the ipod?

    Why are lyrics not viewable in itunes in the same way as on the ipod? In itunes all you get is "Get Info" then "Lyrics" and that screen then locks itunes until you close it. Inflexible, annoying and surely unnecessary?

    All songs need Album, Artist and title.
    Also, look under Artist -> Compilations.

  • How come when I send a picture with iPhoto email it always send the same picture event when I choose a different picture until I log out from iPhoto

    how come when I send a picture with iPhoto email it always send the same picture event when I choose a different picture until I log out from iPhoto

    Why? Because something is wrong.
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • Why some emails sent with OS X Mail is not delivered, and if I send the same e mail from the website of my hosting provider, to the same recipients, they are delivered?

    Sometime, when I send an email with my Mac Book Pro, i receive the message:
    Hi. This is the qmail-send program at smtplqs01.aruba.it.
    I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
    This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.
    But if I try to send the same messagge, at the same email address, from the web site of my hosting providere, ther are not problem...
    Someone can help me?
    Thanks!!!

    Could be a number of things, among them the fact that the recipient's inbox is full, or his/her ISP email server is a bit slow at hand-shaking with yours, and this of course can vary depending on the fact that the recipient's account is IMAP or POP.
    When you send an email from a webmail, the grunt work is done by the SMTP server, and it's up to it to manage the multiple requests, their number, their frequency, their routing, etc... When you send an email from your Mail app, it'll send it once to your SMTP server, who'll process it a certain number of times before giving up, but you'll receive only one failure message.
    If the recipient's an Microsoft Exchange account, you must know that those servers sometimes send and receive email in bulk, and at a variable refresh rate, hence the "Sorry, your email couldn't be distributed...".

  • How Can I have 5 links in the same picture

    Good morning.
    I would like to know,how I can create 5 or more links on 5 different positions in the same picture.

    If your writing about html links I believe that is what slicing is all about. I have not done any.  I think what slicing does it cut a image into parts without seams these parts can be addressed using mouse over which may replace the part to highlight the area and if clicked on link to an other page.
    Use Photoshop Help search on Slicing.
