Why is the image quality on facetime so poor?

Isn't it false advertisement if on their website, it shows nice, crisp face time photos, and when I use mine, its blocky and not that well. I figured since we pay top dollar for our Ipads, the least apple could do is sell us what their website shows us.

The camera is only 0.7 megapixels.
In comparison, the avg cell phone camera is 5 - 8 mega pixels, so I can understand why it would be such a surprise to see such a low res camera on this device.
With that said, you must relize the camera is intended for facetime use only, and although the quality may not be as good as what the commercials, or site suggest, it does work, for it's intended purpose.

  • Firefox mage quality and resolution was superb when I used XP and Vista. Now that I have Windows 7, however (with the Firefox 3.6.3 version), the image quality and resolution is poor. Please help me!

    I am using the Firefox 3.6.3 version with my new Windows 7 operating system. When I used all the previous Firefox versions in my XP and Vista operating systems, image quality and resolution was excellent! However, now that I have upgraded to Windows 7 and Firefox 3.6.3, the image quality and resolution is poor (unacceptable for downloading purposes).
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I first activated my new computer and installed the Firefox 3.6.3.

    All my images are pixelated in firefox 3.6.3

    Not only on my site but on most sites I view.
    The issue is not solved by resetting the zoom text view (ctrl+0)
    The issue is not resolved by starting in safemode with add-ons disabled
    The problem seems to only affect .jpeg files and only on Windows 7 on my desktop; as I have viewed several sites using windows XP with my laptop, no issues.
    I had the same issue with IE8 and was able to fix the problem with by setting up the compatibility view for all sites. Issue fixed no problems at all. But nothing similar for firefox?
    Whats the deal?

  • Why has the image quality of my PNG sequences suddenly worsened?

    I've been regularly exporting PNG sequences from Premiere Pro CS6, but suddenly the image quality of the images looks terrible.
    All my export settings look correct. Any thoughts on what might be causing this?
    Thanks...

    ...and now the results are very poor...
    And in which way exactly? How do you judge on quality?
    My ... settings are ... 792x582 (same size as source)... My Preview File Format is the default I-frame only MPEG.
    Your frame size is not good for previewing in PrPro. MPEG 2 uses macroblocks of 8x8 pixels for compressing data. And now what you get with your frame size: 792 pix / 8 = 99; 582 pix / 8 = 72.75
    My export settings are...

    Hi there Amitabhavin,
    You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.

    Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try to remain steady while focusing:Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
    Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
    Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
    Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
    If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.

    Hey Sierra, You can do just what you have stated. My question, what is your "other"? If it is over 1.5 GB you most likely have corrupt files. Doing a Restore to New, Factory restore should correct it. Just make sure you make a full backup of all information on your iPod to your computer before you restore, so you don't lose your stuff, contacts, videos, pictures, non-iTunes music, etc, use the cable and connect with your computer. Then, via cable, connect to your computer, run the Restore to new, don't use your backup. Treat this iPod as if it was your first one ever. When restore is done, set up and add what info you wish to install on this iPod. The music apps etc you purchased should be on your computer, if not you should be able to retrieve purchased apps and music from iTunes. Any music, videos, apps not purchased from iTunes will be lost to you if you do not save them to your computer or the cloud first. When your done, make a current Backup and you should good to go. Hope this helps. Good luck. Cheers.

  • Why is the Image in Canvas Square?

    I have about a dozen video clips in my Sequence - they are all DV/DVCPRO - NTSC, 720x480. The sequence settings are 720x480 NTSC DV (3:2), Pixel Aspect Ratio NTSC - CCIR 601 - DV 720/480 and the Compressor DV/DVCPRO - NTSC.
    Question: Why is the image in the Canvas square?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    it looks stretched taller.
    I think you have Anamorphic material.
    Start a new Sequence. Go to Sequence > Settings and click the Anamorphic checkbox.
    Select a clip in the Browser. Press command and 9. Find Anamorphic in the column on the left.
    Click next to it in the Clip column to place a check mark there too.
    Edit into the timeline.
    Does that look better?

  • Do you know if it's possible on an iPad to set the image quality/size or do we just have the one size - the photos I've taken work out at approx 8 x 6cm @300ppi - not that big!

    Do you know if it's possible on an iPad to set the image quality/size or do we just have the one size - the photos I've taken, work out at approx 8 x 6cm @300ppi - not that big!

    8cm * (1 in/2.54cm) * 300 dpi = 944 pixels (should be 1280 if this is the back camera)
    6cm * (1in/2.54cm) * 300 dpi = 708 pixels (should be 720 if this is the back camera)
    The back camera on iPad 2 is 1280x720 = 0.92Mp.  No way to increase that.

  • When I drag photos into iMovie, the image quality is degraded.  Can I somehow prevent the degradation?

    When I drag photos into iMovie, the image quality is degraded.  Can I somehow prevent the degradation?

    Hi
    A very common origin to jumpy picture is
    • Recorded material in one frame rate e.g. 29.97fps (NTSC) and iDVD set to do a 25fps (PAL) project - OR the other way around.
    It delivers a DVD but a very bad one.
    I do convert all my material to same fps as the DVD I want to do (e.g. PAL) - before any editing etc.
    I use JES_Deinterlacer or Compressor to do this and the result is so much better.
    JES_Deinterlacer is free on Internet and makes a Great job - Professional alternatives comes at an astronomical cost and the quality is not hardly no better.

  • How can I change the image quality of a background image on a master slide?

    I can change the image quality from low to high for other images in my Captivate project, but the background image I'm using on my master slide looks pixellated. I would like to change this image to high-quality but I don't see the option in my properties panel on my master slide.
    Thanks for any help!

    You cannot import AI images directly. However, when I use Illustrator drawings, I'll import them as smart object in Photoshop and then you can import the PS-layer.
    The quality you set in Captivate is not for individual images, but for the slides that are published as bitmap. This means that it doesn't matter if the object is on a master slide or on a regular slide IMO

  • Does flattening (or saving without layers) compromise the image QUALITY?

    I'm saving a large .tiff image with multiple layers, but have no need to access the different layers later on, so my question is simply if I can save the image without layers in order to reduce size, or would that also reduce the image QUALITY?

    Flattening merges all the layers and gives it a white background, the layer is then named background and is locked. Whereas merge keeps a transparent background if there is one, the remaining layer is not locked.
    A flattened image will crop any image data that falls outside the document area. So technically it does effect the quality. The same as what a crop would do.
    However it does not adjust the documents image size.
    A merged document leaves the image data outside the document area untouched.
    That said, some formats like jpg flatten the file not merge it. As it does not support transparency nor layers. Png does not support layers therefore outer data is cropped. But tiff and psd will keep outer data as both of these formats support transparency and layers. Transparency is required to stop the file from being flattened and layers is required to keep any image data that falls outside the document area from being cropped.

  • Hi all, my first time on.  I shared my imovie project to Media Browser.  Fine.  Then after it downloaded it 'disappeared.'  Where did it go?  Having found it, how do I then share it with idvd?  I am told the image quality will be much better this route.

    • In iMovie - select a project
    • Share to Media Browser and as Large (not HD or other res.)
    • Close iMovie
    • Open iDVD and select to start a New iDVD Project
    • Import movie - from Media button - down to the right - and here from Movies
