Why would an image distort when rotating it 90 degrees?

I got a file from a client, which, when I attempt to rotate it 90 degrees, it distorts elongated. And no, it doesn't matter whether I use PS, Illustrator, or InDesign. Weirdness is making me crazy!?!

    Lots of WIFI needs a username and password to get access. I guess you're lucky and yours is set up unsecured.
    Normal secured WiFi requires only a password to get access. The password is used to encrypt traffic between your device and the WiFi access point. If whatever you are using requires a username as well then it is not simply normal secured WiFi. It might be a subscription WiFi service like GOGO, ATT, etc., or a service with authentication, i.e., college campus, etc. To help you out we need to know what you are using and what connection dialog you are being presented with. You don't have exactly the same problem as the original poster. He is having a problem entering a password into the password dialog that iOS presents when one tries to connect to a normal secured WiFi network. Could you clarify exactly which WiFi service you are using.

  • Why Does Image Distort When I move the Bones?

    http://postimage.org/image/jjcef8ebt/
    Hi, I just watched a tutorial where they apply bnes to deform a "bitmap" image. Their image didn't distort like my image. Why is this happening.
    I imported an image then I "selected "break apart" and then I added bones to it. When I move the bones it makes the image distort, but in this tutorial here the image doesn't distort. What is wrong?

    The tutorial you watched is very simplistic. He doesn't use the bones in a realistic way and skips over the fact that his image isn't actually distorting the way he implies it will.
    When you break apart a bitmap on the Stage, you end up with a shape that has its fill set as the bitmap (which is still in the library). When you bend and distort this shape with bones, the effect on the bitmap fill is unpredictable. Note that in the tutorial you cited, the author does not show the bitmap actually distorting in any useful way.
    The better way to do this is to select the bitmap instance on stage and then choose Modify > Bitmap > Trace Bitmap. This converts the bitmap instance to a vector drawing. The problem here is that you end up with mulitple shapes of different colors if you have a multi-color image like your dinosour tail. You can add bones to the main green part of the tail, but the yellow parts will not be associated with those bones and so will not move with them. If you are animating the tail in the timeline, you can animate the main part of the tail via the bones and then animate the other parts to compliment that movement by moving those other parts to different layers and animating with normal motion tweens. 

  • Jpg image distorted when retrieved

    I am using the photo album demo for IIS/ASP. I can upload my photo fine; however, when I attempt the retrieve it the image looks like a bunch of striped primary colors. Both the thumbnail and the full size image look this way. It is nothing like the .jpg image I loaded. I can retrieve the image properties fine and do receive any errors. Here are the image properties.
    image width =808
    image height =698
    image size = 88677
    image file type =JFIF
    image type = 24BITRGB
    image compression =JPEG
    image mime type =image/jpeg
    Any ideas as to why the image would be so distorted? Thanks!!

    I apologize for the bad sentence structure above. I meant to say "I can load and retrieve the image properties fine and do NOT receive any errors".

  • Image Distortion When Printing

    Had an ad supplied for a book that was printed digitally. Entire book printed fine except for page with this ad. I got an image drop shadow, but it was way out of position and distorted. Printed claimed it was a bad PDF. All's I did was place a customer-supplied PDF on the page in InDesign, then exported entire book to print-ready PDF. It was fine throughout all proof stages, but when book delivered, I got the strange image distortion. ???
    Thanks.

    Hi peterpica,
    You might try printing this image with a different printer and then check.
    What version of Acrobat are you using?
    There might be some problem of low resolution from the printer.
    So, please check and let me know.

  • Why buttons from theme distorted when viewing in Google Chrome?

    I did an application and i used "Bluejay Theme" and found out that the buttons are distorted when viewing in Google Chrome. Strangely it doesnt happened when viewing in IE or Firefox. Can someone let me know what is the possible cause?

    Thanks for your feedback and I think it's what's happening on my pages - the appearance of the scroll bar causes the space at the sides to change so it 're-sizes' which causes the slight movement.  Obviously IE and Firefox allow for this in their code but Chrome doesn't. 
    My site (at www.roosterad.com) is designed with a fixed centre (the website) and elastic sides (the grey space) so it always centres on the page regardless of browser size/resolution.  Do you know if there's any way to prevent the issue without loosing this flexibility?

  • Why are images distorted when burning a slide show to iDVD from iPhoto?

    I have created a slide show in iPhoto and wanted to burn a DVD.  Some of the images are scans from old family pictures.
    The images present in the proper aspect ratio within iPhoto, but when I burn the CD in iDVD, some of the images are either compressed in from the sides or widened unacceptably.  Anyone know why the images are being distorted?

    I gave the iphoto slide show a show and although I couldn't access the options in the idvd dialog box, I liked the end results better. I included 225 pics, and the random transition's option from iphoto enhances the outcome. The random transition option is not available in idvd.

  • Why would my image be blury when i put it into captivate? Is it spyware, a virus, or a common problem?

    The images are large and perfectly good. Im using Jpeg format if that matters. They are good in the beginning on captivate, but always seems to all of a sudden go to being blurry,and usually not straight away,its either hours after I placed inserted into captivate, or even days after.

    That would be a filter, yes. Didn't know Verizon handed out phone/DSL wall split filters. I would honestly take a look at the physical jack it is connected to for corrosion or lose connections as I doubt the filter is bad out of the box. Anyways, what was the original problem you had with the Phone and DSL that prompted Verizon to send out a filter?

  • Clearcut image. distortion when importing into Aperture3

    I clear cut an image in PS then pasted it into a new transparent file. Reduced the image to 600 pixels high. Saved with "web and devices" with png-24 and transparency ticked. The preview looks perfect (see example). Hit save. Go to A3 and use the import button to bring the image back into my library. However, the image has some weird things happening in the background (see example). I use this procedure all the time, putting the clipped image onto a white background but this is the first I tried a transparent one. I've tried the same process with different images but the same thing happens. Also, the same thing happens when I import the file saved as a psd. I would really appreciate any help in solving this. Thanks, bj

    Thanks c.p. The prognosis doesn't look good! Is there a way to export the image out of PS. Through MiniBridge perhaps? "Why am I trying to achieve this?" The Company I shoot wine bottles for has asked for an additional image with a transparent background for Web use (As mentioned I have previously always clearcut onto a white background). It is a major account so important for me to deliver the image. As it seems to be an A3 issue I'll post the question on Apple Discussions and see what comes up. b.j.

  • Images distorting when saving as pdf

    Hi
    I am having a problem when exportng a file as a pdf. A jpg image that I am using distorts. This is a high res file and I have tried exporting with both the 'high quality print' and 'press quality' presets.
    I have tried printing directly from illustrator and the image looks great, when I print from the pdf the image looks disorted.
    I have attached an image to show what I mean, the image on the left is from the pdf.
    Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.
    Thanks
    John

    To fix the bump here, I would open the image in photoshop, and add a little more canvas to the right side. If you have more time, I would recreate this as a vector object, as this does not look too good in Illustrator.

  • Why do fonts appear distorted when...

    ...there's more than a single instance of Acrobat open at a time?
    The text was rendered to shape in Photoshop before being saved as a PDF, so the vector data would be retained despite losing editing capabilities.
    When I open the resulting PDF in acrobat, everything looks fine. The fonts are perfect, and I can zoom in to near-atom levels and everything is smooth and perfect.
    However, if I try opening it when there's already an instance of acrobat open, the fonts are distorted... jagged... almost unreadable (almost).
    Why?

    If they connect to the server with a different protocol from you (eg, AFP vs SMB), try switching to the same protocol. That may very well not solve the problem, but it's the first step.

  • Why is the image moving when I print on 300gsm card, but is fine on 160gsm paper?

    Hello,
    I am printing a double sided invitation for a customer. I am not sure what it was originally set in as I have only been given the pdf up to now. The invite has a thin black line around the writing.
    I am trying to put a proof together so they can see it on the colour they've chosen, when I cut it out (using their crop marks) on 160gsm everything lines up nicely, however, when I cut it out from 300gsm I end up cutting either the top or the bottom off as the image has moved. I am sure this is down to the weight of the card but how do I (or the customer) counteract this and what is the term for the issue? (If there is one)
    Thanks
    Louise

    Can you duplex the 300 gsm card inside the machine?
    Or are you forced to print one side and then run the cardstock through the machine 2nd time to print the other side?
    Double sided heavier cardstock is more problematic than paper and this issue is a common occurence.
    Are you using the bypass tray or (if your printer allows it from a drawer?. usually there are limits to the stocks that can be run from drawers on smaller, less expensive machines)
    It may help if you make sure the correct media type/weight  and  drawer/bypass tray is selected correctly in your print dialog/print setup.
    There may be more than 1 place to select these parameters; check them all
    Also check the media/weight setting on the printer itself for the bypass or drawer you are using.
    There may be no real solution to achieving perfect registration from front to back on all type of media in your machine.
    Good Luck!
    Just realized you are printing from PDF. Make sure that Actual Size in selected each time in the print dialog when printing both sides. sometimes it defaults to Fit when you aren't paying attention and this can cause problems.
    You wrote: The invite has a thin black line around the writing.
    Do you mean they placed a stroked box around the edge of the invitation? This is a no-no. The crop marks should be adequate. A thin stroked box at the trim size will be an invitation to disaster when cutting a stack of printed items, even single sided would be hell, Double sided, forget it. Have them remove the box and just have crop marks. When cutting you will obviously cut off some of the marks which makes it difficult to determine the later cuts.  This is when you get out a ruler to determine the settings you need to make for these cuts using your cutter.

  • How can I avoid image 'distortion' when saving jpegs from Photoshop?

    I've created a logo with a transparent background and saved as an eps in Illustrator CS3.  To create a jpeg I then opened opened the eps in Photoshop CS3, set the resolution at 300ppi and then saved the image as a jpeg.  The image views ok on screen but when it is inserted into a word document and then printed, the background of the image is 'blurry' - it has small red dots through and you can see also the 'edges' of the image.  Not sure what I'm doing wrong!  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for all the ideas.  Had to have a jpeg at the 'clients' request so I couldn't use the .psd and .png options.
    I came across some info stating MS Word doesn't support CMYK jpeg which I did not realise.  So to solve the issue, I ended up opening the eps file as a Smart Object in RGB colour mode at the required resolution in Photoshop CS3 and then saving as jpeg.  The jpeg then printed perfectly after being inputted into a Word document - no blurriness or resolution issues.  I just had to advise the 'client' about the colour issues with RGB vs CMYK and not to use the jpegs for any professional printing.
    Thanks again.
