Why is everything I import from Photoshop pixelated?

I'm using both Adobe After Effects CS5 and Adobe Photoshop CS5 and no matter what I import from Photoshop, wheather it'd be an image or text or anything, it is always pixelated.. It has nothing to do with the size because no matter what the scale is, it's always pixelated.. I'll create an image in Photoshop and then save it as either a .jpeg or a .png file and when I import them to After Effects they are very pixelated to the point where you can't make out what the image is.. Is there a setting I need to change or something? I need help fast.. Please help Adobe Community!

FOR NOW?  Hmmmmm, that's a telling comment.  Perhaps its genesis will be revealed at NAB. 
Frankly, I don't know one way or the other.  I haven't read many of the emails waiting at home from Adobe because I don't get on my home email very frequently.

  • How do I import from Photoshop elements 12 to Lightroom for Mac OS?

    How do I import from Photoshop elements 12 to Lightroom for Mac OS?

    I never did it from Windows to Mac.
    I assume you need to move everything to Mac PSE12 (or PSE 13) by downloading the 30 day free trial of PSE 12 or 13, and then once everything is working, use File->Upgrade Photoshop Elements Catalog in Lightroom. Your tags and albums will remain intact. I believe the face recognition transfers as well to keywords, but the location in the photo of the face will be gone as Lightroom has no such feature.

  • Import from Photoshop Album PSA to Lightroom (same in Elements?)

    Hi,
    here my experience with the import from Photoshop Album to Lightroom.
    1. Tags and Collection import
    > OK
    2. Tagging of the imported images
    > NOT ALL of the imported pictures where Tagged!!!
    This is really annoying, as you have no way to know it
    before you search for them.
    3. Import of the edited version of the pictures
    > When a picture as been edited in Album, only the ORIGINAL one
    is imported in Lightroom, not the edited one.
    > At least, the edited one could have been imported with the original
    in a stack!!
    Import functionality is crap for now if you ask me.
    What is your experience?

    Because I've used PSA, PS and now CS2 and 3 for years, I had really hoped--indeed, assumed--that LR would be an elegant and trouble-free solution with which to migrate a large and growing catalog away from the slowness and lack of view in PSA, as well as adding RAW-handling ability (since storage dropped through the floor, I shoot JPEG and RAW by default). While the LR interface is pretty and the fleur-de-lis whimsical, LR is in my admittedly-limited experience neither elegant nor trouble-free from a database perspective. Perhaps in a few versions it will be, but it isn't now. The PSA import was a joke, operations are slow, and despite preference settings, it fires up whenever I hook up anything which XP considers to be an external drive. I have since licensed a previously-installed demo copy of IMatch, which I'd been holding off doing based on my flased LR assumption. Importing PSA to IMatch requires some simple under-the-hood work in Access (there are posted routines to accomplish this), but once that was done the import was flawless, with all PSA tags in their own cubbyhole and associated with the proper images. Why Adobe didn't facilitate this is a real head-scratcher.

  • Importing From photoshop to flash

    After importing from photoshop to flash to create a website, the background image that i had within photoshop was set to 1304x700 pixels but when i imported it into flash the image changed to the canvas size that i had made the document in photoshop which was 1000x700 pixels.  Now i can change the size of the image when it has been imported into flash to 1304x700 but it obviously messes up my pic quality.
    Can someone please help me lol im new to this. I might go mad shortly, ive tried importing it three times now.
    Thanks in advance to anyone that helps me.

  • Premiere seems to "unflatten" certain layers after importing from Photoshop

    Hi all
    I have a layered PSD that I've imported in to Premiere so I can add video transitions to each layer. In Photoshop, I used the smudge and the motion blur filter on a few of the layers and then flattened those specific layers. I then brought the full PSD (with the flattened smudge/blur layers) in to Premiere and laid everything out on the timeline. It looks nice on the program monitor after I render, however, when I export the video as an MP4 (I haven't tried other formats), it appears that the smudge/blur layers became "unflattened" and it seems that the masks from Photoshop reappeared and the hidden pixels for the blur/smudge that were supposed to be "deleted" were back ! I wish I could provide a sample here, but it's a client project and I can't post it for public view.
    Any thoughts? Anyone see this issue before?

    I figured out my problem. I had to uncheck the "Maximum quality output" setting or something like that in the export dialogue box.

  • Preserve the layer order imported from photoshop

    Is there a way to import photoshop files to after effects and keep the layer order from photoshop? I don't want to have to go back to all of my photoshop files and rename them.
    And I'd like to use the folders instead of compositions (the ones that are made after importing to After Effects) because it's harder to see how everything works when you're working one composition at a time.
    Thanks!

    Thank you for your reply. But it doesn't quite answer my question. I'm frustrated that after importing the photoshop files (they each have multiple layers), I'd bring it into the overall composition and when I look inside the folders, they're automatically ordered alphabetically. And I'm wondering if there's a way to keep the order of the layers I had in Photoshop.
    And I understand that if I were to double click on the compositions that are created after importing Photoshop files, they're in the same order as Photoshop file layer orders. But I don't like working in those compositions because I can't see how they all fit together in the overall composition.
    Do you know if there's a way to prevent After Effects from reordering my layers alphabetically?

  • Decreased picture resolution when importing from Photoshop Elements

    When I export pictures from Photoshop Elements 7.0 to Premier Elements 7.0 the resolution decreases significantly.  I tried to "bypass" Photoshop by importing the pictures from my hard drive but ended up with the same problem.
    Can anyone help me to locate a solution to this problem?
    Thanks.

    This is because, when you port your slideshow to Premiere Elements, it becomes video -- and video has a resolution of essentially 640x480 pixels at 72 ppi.
    If you'd like to save your slideshow at full resolution, you'll need to use one of the other export options -- and you'll need to make it playable on a computer, which has a higher resolution than your TV.

  • Importing from Photoshop

    I'm trying to import some photos from a file from Photoshop. Half the files will import and the other half will not. THey are all saved the same as jpegs however the last half cannot be read by iphoto. Any idea to correct this?

    Hi Brenda,
    Thanks for the reply,
    I am improting from my external hardrive. I have also saved to my internal hardrive to try eliminate the problem. However to no avale. Anyway, I am starting to wonder if it is a disk space issue. There are about 170 images to import. They are all saved as 4x6's @ 350dpi. The only reason why I want to import them is to create a slideshow of these files because they have been colour corrected. The other issue is that I did restart the computer and it worked. But, I went back to look at the slideshow yesterday and they weren't there. So that's why I think it's a memory issue. Should I try to save them at a smaller size that would be ideal for the slideshow. And what size would that be?

  • Image Squished Upon Import from Photoshop

    I imported a simple Tiff from photoshop and it looks vertically squished upon import (about 5% but still). Has anyone seen this before? I tried exporting but it still appeared squished. Any thoughts on what it may be.

    You can render to whatever size you want.
    You can precompse your HD comp and nest it in a SD comp, and render from that if you wish.
    Or, you could use the stretch options in the Render Queue to downsize your comp.
    The point I'm trying to make is that there are only a few HD frame sizes (image dimensions).
    Generally speaking, you have 1920x1080, and 1280x720.
    Those are the two flavors that you have to work with in HD.
    Some codecs create variations on those sizes based on pixel shape, but that's it for HD.
    Once you depart from one of those frame sizes, you're simply not displaying HD material, beit created in AE, or shot in camera.
    If you present a frame size that was downsized HD, then it is no longer an HD frame.
    If you want to show your client a certain piece "in HD", then you may want to make sure you're showing them a true HD file, and not a downsized verison.

  • Blurring of images imported from photoshop?

    I have latest version of iMovie and OS. When I import images from photoshop, I get blurring of the image and sometimes pixilation. I looks normal in the workspace viewer but when I play the timeline the image deteriorates.

    Thanks for looking at my problem. When I looked carefully at the new name (thanks dj for telling me to do that) I realized that the name had parts of what I had added as a preset and applied in External Editing. What appears to have happened is that my original preset was corrupted and dropped out the part that told it to use the original file name. I have repaired it and now all is well. Thanks for the responses and the help! Much appreciated.

  • Imports from Photoshop CS2 after editing

    I frequently use Photoshop CS2 to edit my digital photographs; however, I like to use iPhoto to view or otherwise manipulate the images into different albums, slideshows, or uploads to my .mac account. When I open iPhoto to import a photo edited in photoshop, I get an "Unreadable file" error message stating that the requested image is "an unrecognized file type or that the does not contain valid data." I can't get the edited photos added to the iPhoto library.
    I've tried importing photos saved in several different formats - jpeg, RAW, TIFF - with no luck.
    Is it possible to import an image into iPhoto from Photoshop? If so, what am I doing wrong? thank you.

    Kyle:
    Also if you set iPhoto to use PS as the editor of choice by going into iPhoto's General preferences and selecting PS in the "Edit photo:" menu. Then when you double click on a thumbnail, PS will open, you can edit the picture and save it. This way the thumbnail will be updated as well.

  • Preserving time when importing from Photoshop Elements

    I have about 15K photos that I am moving from Photoshop Elements on Windows to Aperture. In Elements all my photos are in time order sequence plus the liberal use of tags. The tags work fine but the time sequence does not. Most photos have the date for when they were taken plus additional dates for when they were edited and/or when they were copied when I upgraded Windows/Photoshop. Some photos were from APS film that Walmart copied to CDs and I manually set the date. I have checked the metadata on a random set of photos and the date used by Photoshop on Windows is correct.
    My question is "Can I get Aperture to use the same rules as Photoshop Elements so that when I view "Photos" in Aperture, they will be in the same order. I check the manual; nothing on this. iPhoto has the same problem but then it doesn't support the same level of metadata as Aperture. Specifically, I need Aperture to support "Date Time Original" field when it is available. Otherwise, I will have to stay with Photoshop Elements.
    Anyone have a solution?
    Thanks
    PS Using the change date/time facility is not a realistic option since it would take days of labour for something that is already contained in the metadata

  • Do you see problems with text size when importing from Photoshop?

    Hi all -
    We're working on improving some things in the Photoshop-to-Reflow workflow, and right
    now specifically investigating trouble with imported text.
    Aside from the desire to have support for local fonts, are there any problems you run into
    when importing text from Photoshop into Reflow? We've heard some issues with text size and position,
    but want to make sure we understand all of the cases.
    If you have problems in this area, please share them in this thread, and I'd also love to get some
    sample PSDs that demonstrate the problems. (You can send them directly to me; vmitnick at adobe dot com .)
    thanks,
    Vic

    I'm using CS4.. and I'm using the standard "Save As" .pdf features....
    and I'm reading it with adobe acrobat pro 9.1...
    i think it has something to do with compression. but i can't figure out how to solve it. converting the text to symbols maybe?

  • Import from photoshop to fce

    I'm trying to import a title page that I created from photoshop cs2 into fce. I kept it as a .psd file and when I import it , the color is no longer there - it is grayscale.
    Any suggestions?
    Susie

    It was created in photoshop on the same mac I'm using for the video. The contents are wording, a background and a colored border. If I flatten the image and save as a jpeg, the color appears. I wanted to keep as a psd in case I needed to make changes and I've been able to do similar titles in the past.
    Any suggestions?
