Why do stills appear clearer when Photo Settings are being modified?

I have noticed that stills imported from iPhoto are grainier than how they appear in iPhoto. When adjusting the Photo Settings, the stills are as clear as they are in iPhoto. Any suggestions as to what is causing this? More importantly, what can be done to improve the clarity. Thanks.
iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

Stills that are imported from iPhoto can be reduced in resolution because DV has a lower pixel resolution that most photos.
When using the Photo Settings, you are working with the higher resolution original. When you finish adjusting, iMovie renders the image into DV.
I believe this is what's going on.
Cheers,
David

    What order?
    Most likely it's the order on the Disk, not the Name, or other way shown.
    In Column View>View>View Options, here's the same folder shown Sort by 2 different ways...

  • File corruption on SDCard when multiple files are being written from WinCE 6.0R3

    We currently have file corruption problems which we have been able to reproduce on our system which uses WinCE 6.0R3. We have an SDCard in our system which is mounted as the root FS.  When multiple files are being written to the file system we occasionally
    see file corruption with data destined from one file, ending up in another file, or in another location in the same file.  We have already written test SW that we have been able to use to reproduce the problem, and have worked with the SDCard vendor to
    check that the memory controller on the card is not the source of the problems.
    We know that the data we send to WriteFile() is correct, and that the data which eventually gets sent through the SDCard driver to the SD card is already corrupted.
    We believe that the problem is somewhere in the microsoft private sources between the high level filesystem API calls and the low level device calls that get the data onto the HW.
    We have confirmed that the cards that get corrupted are all good and this is not a case ofpoor quality flash memory in the cards. The same cards that fail under WinCE 6.0R3 never fail under the same types of testing on Windows, Mac OX, or linux.  We
    can hammer the cards with single files writes over and over, but as soon as multiple threads are writing multiple files it is only a matter of time before a corruption occurs.
    One of the big problems is that we are using the sqlcompact DB for storing some data and this DB uses a cache which get's flushed on it's own schedule. Often the DB gets corrupted because other files are being written when the DB decides to flush.
    So we can reproduce the error (with enough time), and we know that data into the windows CE stack of code is good, but it comes out to the SDcard driver corrupted.  We have tried to minimize writes to the file system, but so far we have not found a
    way to make sure only one file can be written at once. Is there a setting or an API call that we can make to force the OS into only allowing one file write at a time, or a way of seeing how the multiple files are managed in the private sources?
    Thanks
    Peter

    All QFE's have been applied we are building the image so we have some control.
    I have build an image which used the debug DLL's of the FATFS and I have enabled all of the DebugZones.  The problem is still happening. From the timings in the debug logs and the timestamps in the data which corrupts the test file I have been able
    to see that the file is corrupted AFTER the write is complete. Or at least that's how it seems.
    We finished writing the file and closed the handle. Then more data is written to other files. When we get around to verifying the file it now contains data from the files that were subsequently written.
    What I think I need to do is figure out in detail how the two files were "laid down" onto the SDCard.  If the system used the same cluster to write the 2 files then that would explain the issue.

  • System settings are being updated??

    I bought an eMac from a friend of my husband's, and there wasn't the Safari icon to connect to the internet.  So, I clicked on the apple icon at the top left of the screen, then clicked on Mac OS X, and it would usually open up the internet browser and I could surf the web from there.  Well, my husband was messing around with the computer to try and figure things out, and now when I click on that same thing a gray box pops up in the middle of the screen and says that my system settings are being updated and it's unable to open my preferred web browser and I need to try again in a few minutes.  This started last night, so it's been well over 24 hours, as we let it set there thinking it just wasn't finished updating.  How do I get rid of that? 

    Hello Mrs. Long,
    Did you get the 10.4 Install Discs with it? If so power down, hold mouse button down at power on to open the tray & inset Install Disc, hold Option/alt key at same time to bring up the Startup manager so you can choose the Install Disk to boot from.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

  • Hidden photos still appear in all photos album

    Hi
    In the new iPhoto when I hide photos they still appear in the All Photos album and will not hide , this is very inconveinant can somebody tell me if this is a bug or intentional and if so is there a work around.
    thx

    Hmmm. Yeah, that's what I'm seeing to. It hides it from the "Photos" area, and the Faces and other albums, but not from the "All Photos" smart album. It might be intentional; the "all photos" smart album may be intended to show ALL photos; hidden or not.
    Note if your goal is to make the photo "secret," hiding the photo isn't the right trick.

  • Why does text appear bold when published?

    My entire web site suffers from text that appears bold when I publish. I have followed various other threads, changed typefaces, put in returns and tried a variety of "tricks" and although some people appear to have fixed it, there is no universal fix that I can find. Has anyone else had any luck solving this? It ***** because it makes the whole page look rather unprofessional. www.brain-storm.com is the site.
    Thanks

    This problem occurred last night to me as well. I've been using iWeb for a couple of months with no problem. I added a blog entry and some photos last night and then published. When I checked out the site all of my text was bolded.
    I'm new to Macs and iWeb so I struggled for hours last night and this morning to correct it. No luck.
    Any ideas someone can suggest would be huge.

  • Why is radio appearing first when I'm trying to add a phone number to my iphone contacts?

    Radio button appears first when I want to add a new contacts phone number.    I never changed anything and certainly do not have custom fields.  Wouldn't know how to add a custom field anyway.   I use Exchange. Why is this happening,  I see no option to select mobile or home as one or two on what i would select when adding a new number, just have to hit "add phone" add phone" "add phone" eight times till i get to mobile finally.  I think there was a drop down list on my phone before to select when adding a new number."   And who uses a radio phone anyway, what is it?  I'm running version 7.0.6 on my iphone 5.

    if I were you I would try to ask it in the iphone forum

  • CS6 crashing when sequence settings are changed

    When I launch CS6 and select a new doc - it had default settings for the sequence. When I change them to DSLR - or anything but default......CS6 crashes, does not say why & shuts down. Tried changing them after setting everything else - same result.
    Running a HP 8770w Elitebook
    32G RAM
    SSD primary
    twin SATA's raided
    nVidia K5000M (supported_cuda_card.txt in Adobe changed to read Quadro K5000M)
    Any thoughts? I cannot get PPCS6 to run anything if I change the setting.

    I'm sorry if I was not clear. I was referring to sequence presets. If you do not choose the proper one BEFORE working it screws up the footage. Sure, you can change the presets once working - but that crashed it too. Loved the comment though!!
    On a fresh load of CS6 - the default sequence preset settings are other than DSLR - which is what I use. SO, you either change them in the first window, or do so after the sequence is open & running. Neither would work and crashed out as soon as you touch a button other than the default camera setting. We tried a number of different approaches to get the proper setting loaded. Nothing.
    It turns out it's all an Adobe/nVidia issue. CS6 Premiere does not dig the Quadro K5000M.
    But, after repeated attempts we found a workaround.
    Fresh install of CS6 - restart
    Edit the cuda_supported_cards.txt file as described in these Forums. Restart
    Hack the card itself - restart
    launched CS6 Premiere Pro & not only is the card there - but fully operational.
    Results of speed tests in HD & 4K were amazing - this is realtime editing - finally.

  • Old settings are being applied to all photos

    Well I edited a .jpg in bridges ACR. I choose about 5 other pictures to sync up with those settings. After I synced those my eintire folder synced to those settings. When I tried to edit>devolpe settings>clear settings nothing happend. When I purged cache all the files clear to default then one by one went back to the other settings with saturations and viggnettes. Now whenever I open any folder in bridge the settings are all aplied to my new folders and all my pictures. When I'm in a new folder I can select all and clear settings then start fresh, but if I close bridge and reopen those old settings are reapllied. This happens to all types of pictures to include CR2, DNG and JPGs.

    When I purged cache all the files clear to default then one by one went back
    to the other settings with saturations and viggnettes. Now whenever I open any
    folder in bridge the settings are all aplied to my new folders and all my
    pictures.
    Sounds like you have accidently set a new camera Raw default?. First open a
    file in ACR and in the basic tab right next to 'basic' is a little menu icon
    with a fly out menu. Choose reset Camera Raw defaults and try again.

  • When copying folder to external drive, "An older item named.." appears even when the dates are the same

    When I am manually backing up folders from Macbook Pro Mountain Lion to an external drive, the dates for folders are being misread? It will say "An older item named.." every time. I checked the dates and times and they are the same on Mountain Lion and the External drive for the files and the folders. It should send me back a message saying "An item named “” already exists in this location. Do you want to replace it with the one you’re moving?"
    When I try to move an individual file to the external drive and the dates are the same, I get the correct message - "an item named "" already exists..." so the issue is only with the folders.
    I have only had this issue since the update to OS 10.8. Any Suggestions? thanks

    The modification date of a file is stored internally in seconds. The Finder rounds off to the nearest minute. If the age of two files differs by less than 30 seconds, they'll seem to have the same modification date in the Finder.

  • Get MacOS Software.  Your Syhstem Settings are being upgraded.

    When I press the Apple on the far left upper corner, I get the following Error Message:
    Get Mac OS Sofware. Your system setings are being updated. Unable to open your preferred browser; Try again in a few minutes.
    I have had this problem for more than ten hours, even after re-booting. I don't have any software loading issues that I know of.
    Does anyone have any hint?

    There may be some system corruption issues; and if Disk Utility,
    booted from the OS X Installer disc and run from there, can't fix
    re: 'repair disk' or 'repair disk permissions' you may have to go
    as far as consider an "Archive and Install", and update.
    If there is enough free space on the hard disk drive to put a new
    system folder on there, in addition to whatever else already is,
    and the hard disk drive is not corrupted at some low-level; an
    archive and install should save your work, and if you select the
    installer to save your old settings and user information, that would
    be carried over to the new System folder. After some time, and if
    things go OK, you could trash the old Previous System folder.
    Can you start the computer up in SafeBoot, then use the computer's
    Disk Utility to 'repair disk permissions' then quit the utility, and restart?
    Does the issue change, or if you do these basic repairs, stay messed?
    The situation you describe is not anything I've seen in the Mac OSX.
    I'd recommend trying to save what you can and work on wiping out
    the hard disk drive at some point, having the booted installer's Disk
    Utility over-write the drive with Zeros, then reformat to HFS+, and
    do an all new installation and full update, from scratch. Totally new.
    And that would let you know if the hard disk drive is messing up, too.
    The SMART status should give you some idea of the drive health;
    and on one of the included discs with the computer, you have an option
    of running the computer in the Apple Hardware Test...
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Why mail messages appear bigger when sent?

    Hello,
    When I send an e-mail from Mail, some parts of the signature and the text appear in 16 instead of 12 as set in preferences. It looks normal when I right it but then when someone reply to me I can see that some of the text is bigger that what it is expected to be. (OS X 10.8.3)
    This is really looking unprofessional and I am desperate to find a solution.
    Thanks in advance.

    I just had a flash and did a search for the sent messages, I found them in another accoun's sent folder.  I am not sure why but it seems to be related to the fact that the other account (That received the sent mail) has my first account's address as a possible reply-to address.  I just don't understand why a replied message from one account would use another account to send the message.  Is there a setting to tell the mail app to reply with the same account?
    Note that neither of these accounts are my default account.
