Why is my cropped photo out of focus

I started with a large jpg, 4.6 M. Fully enlarged in the iPhoto window the photo was in sharp focus. I cropped just the face, but the resulting photo was out of focus. I can't figure out why.

What is the pixel size of teh cropped photo? No matter how large the original photo is if you crop too small you will end up with pixelization (not a focus issue)
And it is possible that the are you are corpping to is not really in good focus and that becoms more pronounced as it becomes the only remainin gportion of the photo

While printing, why does PE11 crop the out put?

While printing, why does PE11 crop the out put?

Did you crop the photo to the same aspect ratio as your print size? If not, then the software will crop it for you.

Photos out of focus after crop

I'm not exactly sure what's happening. I crop a photo, then my cropped selection goes out of focus! If I zoom in a little bit, it's nice and clear, but won't save that way!! I'm confused...HELP!
thanks!

Photos out of Focus

When I was first using iPhoto '11 I realized that while editing my photos they looked out of focus. If I went to the next photo and came back to the same photo I was just editing. The edit was complete and the photo was back in focus.
Yesterday I did the update.
Since then any photo that I do any type of editing on goes out of focus before I even do anything.
The other issues that I just started to have is the cropping tool has a mind of it's own. Also when you "flag" a photo in an album, sometimes it will show up in the flagged items and sometimes it won't.
My "trash" bin has no number next to it. But if I click on the trash it has over 600 pictures that I haven't put in there?
Does anybody know how to fix the focus issue? I am a photographer. I can't worry about all of my photo's becoming out of focus if I open them on iphoto.
Thanks for any ones help.

I've noticed the same thing. When editing in full screen mode everything looks soft. I have to zoom in to confirm focus (even a little zoom shows the actual sharpness more accurately). They probably are using an alias image to speed up previews of global edits, but it is annoying.

Why are my photos out of focus?

A while back my camera wasn't auto focusing well. I sent it in for repair. I haven't used it much lately. I too some flash phots of my granddaughter last week end and they are not in focus. What would be the most likely causes of them not being in focus. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

What camera and lens do you have? Is it the kit lens? I have sent 2 kit lens (18-55mm) for repair because the focus cable inside the lens disconnected while zooming. Thus the camera confirms focus but the photo come out blurry.

Why does iPhoto delete photos out of secure photo storage apps, and there is no option Not to delete from everywhere ie all albums on all devices

I purchased IPhoto then saw a duplicate photo in my photo album so went to delete it, the delete function came up with a message this photo is in more than one album do you want to delete from everywhere, as no other option available ie " no just this album" I hit delete and then found it had deleted the photo from all my devices 2 iPhones and 2 iPads, the photo was in a " Safe App " supposed to be secure why did this happen, any help would be appreciated

When I downloaded photos from a camera SD card using an adapter, I noticed two Albums were created in the Photo app.(Last Import & All Import). Like you stated, there is no option to delete excess photos without deleting all of them. So this is the lengthy steps I went through to delet the extra album (I hope someone comes up with a shorter process):
1) Connect iPad into your PC (Make sure you configured to Sync with iTunes)
2) Go to My Computer > right click and open Apple iPad > right click and open Internal Storage > right click and open DCIM. (This will show the photos from those to Albums only)
3) Right click on a empty space on the desktop
4) Click on New > Folder
5) Go back to the DCIM files and right click on each file(one at a time) then copy and paste each file over the New Folder.
6) Go back to the DCIM files and open each folder and right click and delete each photo.
You will notice that all the same photos are being deleted on the Photo app simultaneously.
7) Then drag the New Folder into you Pictures on the PC.
8)Then open iTunes on your PC and click on the Photo tab and click Sync on the bottom right to import those photos back to your iPad.
I hope my scenario can apply to you.

Image files with large pixel dimensions display out of focus in a Bridge viewer?

I Create image files with pixel dimensions 2048x1365. When I display these files from Bridge on my Mac, either by pressing the space bar or in a slideshow, the images are out of focus. If I left click or click/hold and move the images slightly on screen they display in sharp focus. Unfortunately, although landscape-orientation images display correctly with no change in position or size, portrait-orientation files are enlarged and display with top and bottom off the screen. The pixel dimensions of my monitor are 2450x1600 so, yes, if portrait images are displayed at 100% they should display off screen, but this does not excuse the out of focus display of landscape files on this large screen. Nor does this explain why the portrait files are out of focus when they fit on screen. When the same files open in a Camera Raw window they are in focus. When they open in Photoshop at 100% the files are in focus.

Why are some of my photos tack sharp while others in the same series are out of focus?

My camera is a Canon Rebel XS (dSLR) and I primarily use the 50mm f/1.8 lens.
I shoot in Manual Mode with Autofocus ON.
I am having difficulty with my photos coming out incositant - some are out of focus, while others in the same series (taken a moment apart) are tack sharp.
I've attached two examples - one of the out-of-focus image, the other sharp images (both have been blown up).
It is not camera shake and my settings are identical for both photos. (ISO 200 | f/4.5 | 1/100sec in this instance.)
This has become such a problem that I find myself needing to take 10x more photos of the same subject/pose in order to hopefully get one sharp image from the series.
I have asked multiple people about this problem (though I have yet to take my camera and lens to a shop due to lack of funds) and no one has any idea of either what I'm talking about or what the problem could be.
I would appreciate your thoughts and help!
Thank you!
Fuzzy/Out of Focus:
Sharp:

This new pair of images does not look like camera motion -- this one looks like it missed focus.
If you use the included Canon Digital Photo Professional that came with your camera, you can right-click an image and tell it show you the focus point which were used (the camera wont know if you did a focus-and-recompose technique... so if you recompose after locking focus then the focus points indicated by DPP wouldn't be meaningful). But I bring this up because it would allow you to determine which focus point the camera claims it used.
I think you mentinoned that you used "One Shot" focus mode -- not AI Servo. One Shot should block the camera from taking the shot until it thinks it confirmed focus-lock on the selected AF point (or on at least one AF point it you allow the camera to pick from any of its available focus points.) In AI Servo the camera WILL take the shot when you fully press the button -- whether it successfully locked focus or not.
That brings us back to the subject of the focus test.
If you do not own a commercial chart, then you may want to download one from the Internet and print it. Here's a good site: http://regex.info/blog/photo-tech/focus-chart
Print the chart and follow the instructions. I deliberately run the camera out of focus to nearest focus distance and force the camera to re-focus and shoot... and I repeat this at least a half-dozen times. I then repeat... but this time deliberately run the camera out of focus to infinity before forcing the camera to focus and take the shot.
Track each shot as you do the focus test. You may see a pattern emerge (e.g. perhaps it nails focus when going in one direction to find focus... but misses in another, etc.) Such a pattern might indicate the lens is getting sloppy and needs service (it's usually not worth servicing the 50mm f/1.8 due to it's low cost.) The USM and STM lenses allow full-time manual focus override (even if the lens is auto-focusing). The basic auto-focus motor lenses (like the 50mm f/1.8) do not support this and forcing manual focus without disengaging the focus system can be harmful.

When a photo is viewed in iPhoto 9.6, why is it sharp then immediately goes out of focus?

When viewing photos (full window), the photo initially is sharp then immediately goes a little out of focus. Thanks to some previous forum responses, a fix is to slightly shift the zoom button to the right, clearing the photo right up. When going through 100+ photos, obviously this is an untenable fix. I assume this is a bug that needs repair.

As a follow-up, I found that if I hold the left mouse button down while on the zoom button, no matter where it is on the slider, the same effect happens, that is that the photo goes out of focus. Once released, the photo sharpens. This DOES NOT happen when the zoom slider is all the way to the left. There as stated earlier the photo stays out of focus.

Why can't I take cropped photo normal photo I can take out.

So once I look at my photos that I cropped in my iphone they are back to it original size photo once I take them out of my iphone. How can I make the cropped photo stay cropped and not resize to original once I put in my computer?

Imovie lets me drag and drop into a project window from the desktop. I use .jpg files. Are your photos .jpg or some other format? Below is Apple's video on importing photos from iphoto. I suspect if a photo will go into iphoto it will go into iMovie. If you cannot drag from the desktop, try putting it into iphoto and importing it that way.

Why is text become blurry and out of focus?

Why is text become blurry and out of focus?

I am confused what device you are talking about. You question is here in the Using iPhone section, but it is marked for your MacBook Pro running iOS 6? If you are talking about an iPhone and you never update your profile to say you are running iOS 7, I would blame the paralax feature that slightly zooms into your picture, making certain low-res photos look extra blurry. Hope this helps.

Photos looking out of focus after I save them.

My photos look great after my layers and saving, but when I try to upload them online, email, or print they don't look the same.Kind of out of focus/blurry. I've tried for hours and can't seem to figure out why this is happening. Please, if you know, help is needed!!

I just realized they are also not as clear looking
Is the profile embedded and do the programs you use to display the uploaded images use color management?
As for the blurriness: That sounds like some (automatic) resampling may have taken place.

Why does my app Documents have my photos in it?all of a sudden? I did not put them there! I'd like to delete them out of documents, but it will not let me, the app I mean? How am I delete the photos out of it?

HHi, I'm new here, but just this morning, I opened the app documents to load some information for study purposes. I saw a folder called photo library. Opened and saw all my photos in it. I did not place them in it. The app functions do not permit me to delete them. I have struggled with this all morning, and find myself here. I also ask a few friends who upon checking found a similar thing on their. IPads also. What we want to know is.........Hiw can we delete the photos out of the app Documents?
WHen we we got to lookin into it, we have found that we probably got this auto done with the new sharing feature and we will have to turn off photo share, which it says will delete all photos from iPad. Is this my only option?

Well you could have trashed your Silverlight install in some way.
That's what it looks like, but I'm not sure how, or how to fix it. I spent ages trying to get all the SL stuff installed, and had a lot of problems, mainly because of the issue with VS2010 SP1.
Does your app rely on a certificate though?
I wonder whether it's an issue with that.
It does, although I'm not sure why that would cause this problem.
Also, I get the same problem when running in VS, and if it were a certificate problem, I wouldn't expect that, as (I think) certificates aren't used when running in VS. Could be wrong on that, so if you know better, please correct me.
You realise, by the way, that Google have sety npapi disabled by default this month?

Ho hum, wonderful eh? Don't know what mine showed before, but I've got SL working in Chrome now, so it's academic (until September of course)
Hope that helps.
Sadly, I don't think it does. I still get this error, whether running in VS, or running the production app. I really need to work out how to fix my SL install without having to uninstall and reinstall all of it yet again. I think that's the crux of the problem.
Thanks very much for the reply. Any further help would be greatly appreciated.

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

Any fix for photos being out of focus when in edit mode?

found several discussions about this but no fix. My photos can be sharp as a tack but as soon as I click on "edit" they go out of focus. Sometimes they are out of focus before I ever click on edit but if I zoom slightly they are in perfect focus. I can view them in "preview" on my macbook and they look great. This is obviously frustrating as I can trying to edit them but can't see exactly what I am working with b/c they are showing up blurry. My macbook is a late 2008 and i have the latest version of everything else.
Not sure how long this has been going on but I just noticed it today. I thought my new camera (nikon d7000) was the problem, but as soon as I zoomed a bit I saw they were actually in focus to begin with. Thanks!

So far it appears that the only work around is to zoom a tiny bit -- report the problem to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback
