Why are these placed images blurry??

I created an image in Photoshop that has: resolution 72 pix/in, 600 px by 800 px (about the average screen size of ereaders)
This is what the image looks like on Photoshop at 100% zoom: http://i.imgur.com/0dNU2lU.png
When I Place the jpg image in Indesign, it looks blurry and pixelated: like this
I looked on other similar threads from google, but it seems those people hadn't been using the correct resolution of 72 dpi. But my images in Photoshop ARE at 72 dpi. Is there anything else you would recommend to do? I would really appreciate any help!
Also, if it helps:
I'm working on an epub document with these settings: screenshot
This is what the frame fitting options window looks like when I select the image on Indesign: http://i.imgur.com/WqRxAaS.png

First off, for text like that youreally should just build the page in ID.
But to get the best preview, and that's what it it is, a preview, not the acutal pixels as you see in an editor like photoshop, use View > Display Performance > High Quality Display.

Why are my still images Blurry when applying effects?

I am creating a slideshow video using images with up to 18mp. The images look wonderful clear and sharp until I try and add video effects to the slide, like zooming in or panning.
I am a user of both CS5.5 at work and newly acquired CS6 for home. I like what I have been able to do, however this makes me very frustrated when everything looks good except for the images with effects. Should I be applying effects differently? or what?
Thanks,
G

Stick around for awhile... there is OFTEN a good deal of "healthy discussion" (ie-disagreement) that goes on here
That discussion brings out a LOT of different experiences (you say X doesn't work... but it works just fine for "me") that sometimes, maybe even often, leads to increased and/or new knowledge for everyone
Other times, you just need to realize that what works for "me" may, or may not, work for "you" exactly the same way based on your work flow
Read what everyone offers, try what you can... and make LOTS of notes so, over time, you will develop work practices that work best for you
Personal example...
Many people export out of PPro as MPEG2-DVD to then use Encore to author a DVD
My PERSONAL work flow is to export my AVCHD edits to Widescreen DV AVI to give to Encore... so I may use Encore's Automatic Transcoding setting to make a "best" fit of video length to size (single or dual layer) of DVD
This is because I just don't care to get into all the details of figuring out the PPro settings when exporting... I let Encore do all the math for me
That process works just fine for me... other people want to figure out their own math for the PPro export settings
I say what I do, and why, but I certainly do not TELL anyone else that they MUST do it my way

Why are my placed images in Illustrator dimmed?

I just got a fresh install of Illustrator CC and every time I place a raster image into my document, it appears dim or very light. When I go to export the image, the PNG file displays the image correctly.

No. I mentioned I am currently on CC which changed it. Double-clicking a link shows the following.

Why are my Illustrator images getting thicker strokes when I take the bounding box and make them smaller?

Why are my Illustrator images getting thicker strokes when I take the bounding box and make them smaller? This has never happened to me. I'm not an expert at Illustrator, but I do know some fundamentals.

Thank you for responding so quickly. No apologies necessary - I know this Forum isn't McDonalds - don't expect an answer to be served up right away. You helped me out with a big issue yesterday.
I am using a mac - OSX 10.7.5
I have Adobe Creative Suites - CS5 - Illustrator version is 15.0.2
The contents I am placing are all Vector - Illustrator files
But, I wonder about some of the vector files I work with. Could a "line weight/thickness" be 'assigned' to the drawing and screw things up? I used 'simple' linear (line) drawings from SolidWorks that have been converted to ai files. It's just weird because I checked the stroke of the drawing and it's not out of line.
I am attaching part of some box labels. You can see how the drawings, of the products, on the 'left side' are "thick" after embedding them. I think the "Global Logo" was pasted into a template not linked that's why it's okay. But look at the Quiet Thunder logo - it looks terrible. These labels are only 2.25" X 6.5", so its important I keep the images lightweight.
Your help is very much appreciated. Thank you!

Why are my duotone images turning black and white when put in indesign?

why are my duotone images turning black and white when put in indesign?
I have been playing duo and montotone images into indesing with no trouble. Then all of a sudden as I placew them they go black and whitre. I have tried everything from re saving, re making in photoshop and differant colours et5c. But nothing seems to wrok. The images already in my document arew fine it is just new ones. If someone could help that would be great

Can you start a new document and then load one of the duotones known to be good in the working file and have it correct? If so, try one of the duotones known to be bad in the working document in the new file. Does it work?
If no to either suggestion, can you share one of the images known to be good and one known to be bad? ZIP 'em up and upload to dropbox and plop a link here. Or, to keep the file sizes down, you can quickly make a new set and provide those.
As well, the ID version and OS info would probably be helpful.
Take care, Mike

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?

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.
Regards,
k.sugimoto.

Why are previews in Bridge blurry (not rendering properly)?

Why are previews in Bridge blurry (not rendering properly)?
I found a simple answer to this question: control click on the thumbnail and select "purge cache for selection"
After years of intermittently having this problem, this solved the issue. I had just finished a fresh install of main sys hd (new hd) and first time opening bridge encountered this issue again after not having the problem for a few years.
Hope this helps others.

F14, F15, F16 -- why are these keys on my Mac Keyboard ?

*** !!
Why are these keys added to my Macintosh Keyboard [circa September 2006] if the **** operating system won't allow us to use them ?
What the **** Apple ??

My 5+ year old keyboard has the F13 F14 F15 keys sitting all by their lonesome above the help, home, page up block of keys, and I set them to do the three Expose functions, so the system will use them (at least if you have the right hack). All the F keys used to be handier though, back in the OS 9 days, when I assigned them to do all sort of things.

Why are my background images not showing up?

The table is split into two, and I want 2 background images
sitting in them so I can write type over them (which is already
there).
I know how to do this with divs, but have never done it to a
table (I no longer use tables for web page layout).
The two images are supposed to be at the bottom of this page
behind "Robert R. Smith, Jr. - Rock Drummer" and "Contact Me".
What have I done wrong and how do I make these two images
appear?

You're mixing up HTML and CSS code. Your code:
<td width="125"
background-image="url(../images/bottom_art_right.jpg)"
style="padding-top: 90px;">
Should be either:
<td width="125"
background="../images/bottom_art_right.jpg" style="padding-top:
90px;">
Or (my preference):
#leftblock {
background-image : url(../images/bottom_art_right.jpg);
style="padding-top: 90px;
<td id="leftblock">

Why are my imported images appearing as mirror images

Why are my camera imported images appearing as mirror images in IPHOTO?

I guess you have things figured out but you do seem a bit confused - iPhoto and PhotoBooth are two totally different applications and iPhoto can not possibly import a mirrow image of a photo and PhotoBooth can not edit iPhoto photos

Why are these words not acceptable?

Following up from another question regarding the frustrating password validation, you answered back that these following words were not acceptable in one's password:
1234
4321
qwert
test
skype
myspace
password
abc123
123abc
abcdef
iloveyou
letmein
ebay
paypal
I understand that it'd be a problem if someone used one of those alone without any prefix or suffix with it, but WHY are you blocking it altogether? Why not allow it at least in middle of a cryptic word, like !@#$skype**&& , or ()()skype<><> ?
It seems your password validation rules just check for an occurance of those words (some of which are questionable as to why it's blocked in the first place) anywhere in the string.
Why are you making it hard for your users to come up with a password they can remember?Pretty much every other services (gmail, facebook, twitter, etc.) are equally as important and used (if not more important/used than Skype, on a daily basis) and don't enforce as much password rules and blocked words.
It would be nice to see Skype go in the direction of 2-step verification like Gmail has.
Use a simple password, bind a Cell-Phone number to it, get your temporary code via txt-message (if it's your first time on that computer / non-cached in browser), Simple!

SnippetPreview$.htm - Why are these not being deleted?

I have the following files in my project folder:
SnippetPreview$.htm
SnippetPreview1$.htm
SnippetPreview2$.htm
SnippetPreview3$.htm
SnippetPreview4$.htm
I noticed them because they are not in Visual SourceSafe so they appear when I go to add files to VSS when I create new snippets. They contain the text of snippets I've created.
I know they are harmless, but why are they not being automatically deleted from RH when no longer needed?
Is this a setting or preference I can set?

Sometimes temporary files are left behind. These are just files created on previewing a snippet and like any other temporary files are not deleted. Just delete them.
