Why do my jpegs look kind of ratty when I view them on the web?

I bet this is a real newb question, but I haven't been able to find the answer so far.
So this particular jpeg looks great when I export it from Paint.net (max quality), but then when I put it in my iWeb site, upload it, and view in my browser it looks kind of ratty, lower res or something. Why would this be? I am using the jpeg in the site at actual size...
Any help appreciated...

What is the resolution of your original image?
My other question would be, "What device are you viewing it on?"
The reason for the second question is that, if you are viewing the page in the browser on a Retina machine the image won't look to good.
Nowadays we upload a "standard" image and a "retina" one with the Apple high resolution modifier - @2x - so that those with a retina screen won't see a wishy washy, faded image.
I haven't tried this in iWeb since I don't use it anymore but it should be possible using an HTML Snippet and including the retina javascript file. That's quite a few hoops to jump through!
The iWeb replacement app EverWeb does all this for you, automatically, if you load two images - image.jpg and [email protected]
It also has a new slider widget which will display both normal and high quality images.

Why does the PDFs' name change when i view them in the iBooks app?

i have some past papers and marking schemes in my iTunes library....when i sync them to my iPad, they appear just fine....they are there just the way i named them and all...
but when i open them, the name changes to some coded-ish name with lots of numbers and all that....
is it possible for me to change some setting and save the name i want for those PDFs? Or am I going to have to live with this madness?
please help!

Hello, I wanted to follow up on this issue after reviewing some of the changes with the current update. [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1049521] This bug addressed some Windows HKEYs that are changed when Firefox is updated/or installed.
As an update, a patch has been made and changes are on the way for fresh installs of Firefox :-)

Hello I am just wondering why there is a message of error 1004 when i tryed to make the update on my apps. Does someone know what it means?

Yes, many know what this means. You can too. Just type in "error 1004" in the search box at the top of this page. Or, just look to the right. You'll find many links in the "More Like This" box.
Always good forum etiquette to search for previous posts on the topic before posting.

I burned my first iDVD andpicture quality is not good. Originals are excellent. My photos are shot in raw or jpeg, both are not sharp when I view my DVD. I viewed it on my 1080 dpi tv and my new apple computer.

There are many ways to produce slide shows using iPhoto, iMovie or iDVD and some limit the number of photos you can use (iDVD has a 99 chapter (slide) limitation).
If what you want is what I want, namely to be able to use high resolution photos (even 300 dpi tiff files), to pan and zoom individual photos, use a variety of transitions, to add and edit music or commentary, place text exactly where you want it, and to end up with a DVD that looks good on both your Mac and a TV - in other words end up with and end result that does not look like an old fashioned slide show from a projector - you may be interested in how I do it. You don't have to do it my way, but the following may be food for thought!
Firstly you need proper software to assemble the photos, decide on the duration of each, the transitions you want to use, and how to pan and zoom individual photos where required, and add proper titles. For this I use Photo to Movie. You can read about what it can do on their website:
http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
(Other users here use the alternative FotoMagico: http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/homevspro/ which you may prefer - I have no experience with it.)
Neither of these are freeware, but are worth the investment if you are going to do a lot of slide shows. Read about them in detail, then decide which one you feel is best suited to your needs.
Once you have timed and arranged and manipulated the photos to your liking in Photo to Movie, it exports the file to iMovie as a DV stream. You can add music in Photo to Movie, but I prefer doing this in iMovie where it is easier to edit. You can now further edit the slide show in iMovie just as you would a movie, including adding other video clips, then send it to iDVD 7, or Toast, for burning.
You will be pleasantly surprised at how professional the results can be!
To simply create a slide show in iDVD 7 onwards from images in iPhoto or stored in other places on your hard disk or a connected server, look here:

I copied several MOV files to a CD. When I play them from the CD the video is fine but the audio works fine for the first few seconds then stops (using Qicktime Player 7.7.1. Everything works fine if I use VLC Media Player. Does anyone have any idea why?

My purpose for copying to a CD or DVD is so that I can make copies and send to friends and relatives. What is the best way to get these files on a CD/DVD with the right codecs?
The easiest thing to do is to simply tell your friends and relatives to copy the files to their local hard drive before playing them. Your basic problem is that data discs have a limited real time transfer rate. Since you say VLC plays the files fine, I might suspect its player is likely buffering the data while the QT 7 Player is not.
Data discs made for playback directly from the CD or DVD are normally encoded using MPEG-4/AVC (H.264) video with AAC audio. This is a modern codec which has specific settings to re-package the data (i.e., must be encoded using the multipass option and then select the "optimize for CD/DVD" option).

Trying to export as a JPEG 2000 but very jumpy when I view it in quicktime. Is this just because the player doesn't support JPEG2000?

JPEG2000 for a digital projector? The option you see in Compressor, or the QT export is NOT the format they need. You can only make that with special software. I had that asked of me to deliver, I tried using Compressor and the JPEG2000 codec...and it wasn't right. Ended up sending it out of house.

Why do my raws look different when I view them in Adobe Bridge/Adobe Camera Raw and Canons Digital P

Hello all,
I am sorta new to taking Raw photographs and I have been been using Adobe Bridge/Camera Raw to edit. When I take my photos (I am using a Canon t2i) I have it set to save a raw and a jpg. When I view these images in Adobe Bridge/Camera Raw I notice a clear difference in the jpg and raw (I understand the whole concept behind raw vs. jpg. so im not questioning why one looks different) It is obvious all the adjustments that were applied to my jpg. vs the natural raw. My question is: When I view the same two images in the software that came with my camera, canon digital photo professionals, the canon and raw look almost identical.... My assumption is that canon is applying the same "adjustments" to my raw as it did to the jpgs? Has anyone used these two programs and noticed this?
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Can't say I'm an expert on DPP myself either. I've only run it a few times myself.
If you're seeing Photoshop freeze just by looking at the File Info tab, that's certainly not expected and you should start a tread specifically to discuss that. The forum may be able to help you get that working.
I happen to like the color my camera delivers in its embedded JPEGs (which I use to quickly review shots via IrfanView). Starting with that color in Camera Raw by default just feels very natural and integrated.
Without a specific custom profile to help you with the task, here's my suggestions for the next best thing:
1. Take an image with a range of different colors in it.
2. Open the embedded JPEG also using whatever means you have to do so.
3. Open it also in Camera Raw and make sure you're using the Camera Raw default parameters.
4. Go into the Camera Calibration tab (little camera icon), and choose the Camera Standard profile as provided by Adobe.
5. Tweak the various sliders so as to match the color between what you're seeing in the JPEG and Camera Raw.
6. Save new Camera Raw defaults.
Some notes:
Make sure you leave the White Balance on As Shot, since storing a specific white balance is probably not going to be helpful.
Test your settings and repeat the above to tweak them as needed using other images.
Keep in mind that not every application does proper color-management. IrfanView can be set up to do so, and I don't recall whether you have to tweak a default setting to make it do that or not (it's been a while).
Hope this helps!

I am having a DNS problem with my computer. My laptop connects to the internet and my skype works normally but when i try to surf the web it says "DNS Look up failed".

MY PROBLEM
I am having a DNS problem with my laptop. It connects normally to th e wifi internet but when i try to surf the net it says "DNS Look up failed"
This problem only occurs when with the internet at my house. whenever i connect elsewhere my computer works normally. My ipod, iphone, tablet and other friends computers work normally when they are connected to my internet. i use dmy neigbours nework a couple of times from my house and it wrks normally.
Also when i turn my laptop on or off i can browse for a few minutes or seconds before it fails again. My skype works like there is no problem
WHAT I HAVE TRIED TO RESOLVE IT
I have tried changing the DNS, i used open DNS and google free DNS and it still didnt make a difference.
I have rebooted router many times, nothing
I have changed my home router, nothing
I backed up my computer, resored everything it to factory setting and put everything back on; still nothing
Run a diagnostics at 'Best buy' and they say nothing is wrong; but i know there is something wrong with the DNS
I have tried different "sudo" type of codes on my comupter from stuff i got online and nothign has proved fruitful yet.
i tried using safari, Google chrome and firefox, all not loading
WHAT DO I DO TO FIX THIS?

You are correct. Syncing should transfer any purchased media, including videos, from your device to your iTunes library provided your computer is authorized for the Apple ID used to make these purchases. You mentioned that you have uninstalled iTunes before, but if you didn't follow this guide exactly, uninstalling iTunes and all of its components in the order specified, it may not have been successful so you should try again: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7.

Does any one know what the matrix.dms is? And why it is in my picture folder? When I open this file the unarchiver takes over and I see my entire hard drive when I scroll down I see the matrix.dms file with in the unarchiver.

Hello everyone. Does anyone know that the matrix.dms file is? And why it may have came to be in my picture folder? When I opened the file the unarchiver took over, then I saw my files in the unarchiver window. I then scrolled down and I saw the same matrix.dms file within the unarchiver window. I made a video of what saw when I tried to open the file, so as to aide in your understanding of reason for my perplexion at this file. Thank you for your help. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QeWH9hRnro&feature=youtu.be

Hi EMT-B,
It sounds like you have done all the troubleshooting needed to narrow down your issue with the iPhone camera to hardware. Based on the information you have provided, it appears your iPhone needs to be serviced. The following link should help you get started with the process and has links with additional information on topics such as warranty and service pricing, battery replacement, and express replacement service.

Why does a jpeg look yellower in Aperture than Preview?

Friend sent a jpeg to me. The image looks much yellower in Aperture than preview.
Exif data regarding color:
Profile Name: sRGB v1.31 (Canon
I have Aperture and preview set to Proofing Profile sRGB 2.1. I have also calibrated my monitor using the display preferences wizard.
Any reason for the yellow cast when I import the image to Aperture?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

I have Aperture and preview set to Proofing Profile sRGB 2.1. I have also calibrated my monitor using the display preferences wizard.
Are you saying that you have View->Onscreen Proofing turned on? What if you turn it off and view the image does it still have the yellow cast?

HT1414 why is itunes asking me for a password when i try to restore the backup to my ipad when i have not given it one

i have restored my ipad now it wont restore the backup i did because it is asking for a password that it never asked for when i did the backup, WHY and how do i now get all my stuff back on it

Any chance you encrypted your previous backup? It's a checkbox on the Summary tab of the device in iTunes.

Why are some of my iphone photos resizing when i import them to iphoto?

although most of the photos from my iphone import to iphoto at 2592 x 1936 for a regular iphone photo and 1936 x 1936 for an instagram photo, for some unbeknowst reason, some of the pictures come out as 640 x 480 / 480 x 480... i have no idea why, i haven't done anything different as far as i know?
anyone have any idea what causes it and how i can stop it? also is there any way to get them back to the proper size because i usually delete the pictures straight off my phone once i've imported them.
thanks x

Not positive what is causing this but I'm pretty sure it is not caused by the iPhoto import process. The import process from a digital camera, camera storage card, or from an iPhone or iOS device does not change the size/dimension/resolution of photos being imported.

Having saved some jpeg images in Safari, how can I view them?

I have browsed the forum, and have seen answers relating to file storage on iPad, but none of the answers helps me viewing some images (jpeg) I have downloaded using Safari.
How can I view the downloaded images

Have you tried a different site - it's possible that the site is blocking that option directly on the image. When I press and hold an image then on one site I get :
On another site I get more options :
