Photoshop :: CS2 Excessive Pixelation
Apr 28, 2009
I'm having a problem with excessive pixelation when using photoshop filters and masking. I've done this process 100's of times, and now this editing technique is creating patches of pixelation. Technique wise, I am on a second layer; I've applied the diffuse glow filter; then I mask the layer; select specific areas I do not want glowed; feather the selection; and then I brush away the effect from my selection. Results wise, the feathered areas and the brushed away areas appear to have holes or patches of the background layer coming through. Usually this is a smooth transition look. Now it's patchy and overpixelated somehow. I'm getting the same affect if the picture is jpg or psd. It is also doing it with just basic curves.

how to increase the size of a picture without it getting too pixelated to identify what the image is. The problem I am having is I had to take a screenshot of a picture online and I need to identify specific wording on a small item in someones hand. I tried clicking on resize image and unchecked re-sample image but that is not working either.

I have a Canon EOS 450D and started taking photos in RAW and edited the photos afterwards with the PS RAW editing function. Often, the result on the "RAW screen" is good enough and I do not open PS CS5.
The following happened (I edited nearly 100 photos like this, but printing them was a disaster!). Image during editing in RAW:
Settings:
Setting under image in RAW:
Printing photo- a scan:
Watching the photo for the first time in PS:
What went wrong? Did I sharpen too much and if so, why did the picture still showed very nice on the "RAW" image? The size of most of the photos are more than 10 MB.

I am baffled why one of the files I modify on a weekly basis (for a weekly coffee shop newsletter) seems to have grown excessively over time. It is 12 pages of 8.5 x 11 size and back in January of this year the file averaged about 12 MB. It has since grown to over 400 MB, but remains at 12 pages. It contains a good mix of text, graphics and bitmaps (all B&W) but nothing that would justify such a huge file size.
We currently use CorelDRAW 15.0.0.486, SP1.
My system is an Intel Pentium G620, 2.60 GHz with 4.00 GB of RAM on 64 Bit Windows 7 Home Premium, SP1.However, I save the file over the network to an AMD Athlon II X3 440, 3.00 GHz with 2.00 GB of RAM on 64 Bit Windows 7 Pro, SP1.
I have tried deleting pages and eliminating elements in the file but it refuses to drop below 400 MB for a saved file size.

I'm using Win 7, 64-bit on a new PC with 16-GB of RAM and plenty of power. I've been editing 40 and 50 MB DNG files for several months with no difficulty. I recently scanned over 1500 old negatives (on a Plustek 7600i) and then imported these tiffs into LR. Again, there were no problems encountered.
I was editing one of these tiff files (27.68 MB) and eventually started to remove all the dust spots and scratches. At first, all went well. However, when I got up to a few hundred of these spot removals, LR4 slowed to a crawl and eventually crashed. The slowdown and crash only occurred whenever I attempted to open this particular tiff and activate the spot removal tool. All other photos opened and edited without problems.
I then tired the same spot removal on a different tiff from my scanned bunch, and encountered the same kind of slowdown and eventual crash of LR.

I have recently started working on a project in metric and have a weird (to me) issue when I try to plot. There are literally hundreds, of scale options in the Scale popup, most of which make no sense to me. I know that I need 1:25, or 1:100 to fit on the page I am printing to. How do I remove or filter out all of the others such as 1:100 3_1_1_1_1_1? I don't even know what that notation means.

OK, so I know there are a ton of posts on here about resizing images in Photoshop (and I have read them all!), but I am still completely stumped! I use Photoshop CS6 and my workflow goes as follows: Open image in Photoshop, edit, change to 8-bit, change to srgb, change image size to 960 at widest side (scale styles, constrain proportions, and resample image checked), change to 72dpi, output sharpening. My outcome is to have images that are sized properly for Facebook (I have researched the correct dimensions) and come out CLEAR!! Mine however, always look pixelated/fuzzy. I see many other photographers images on Facebook and they are super clear and sharp.

I only have PS CS5. I made text logo with a transparent background for a website and saved it as a png. The person building the website can't seem to resize it without it becoming pixelated.

I have regarding showing pixels on an image? I want to do a series of images that are sharp in the centre and display no pixels (ie a 'normal' sharp photographic image) but that gets more and more 'pixilated' towards the edges so the the size of the pixels increases towards the edge until they are very obviuosly pixelated. I've tried using the mosaic sub filter but that leaves all the visible pixel 'blocks' the same size and I want them to get bigger towards the edges.

every picture I edit turns up pixelated. Whether I crop, adjust color, or anything.
So, have I benignly made an adjustment that is fudging things up.

I've switched my site over to a Wordpress publishing system and am working on modifying one of the themes. I want to incorporate the old pixel design of my site. On the header image I used a Photoshop Tutorial to achieve the effect I wanted. I have since misplaced the tutorial and cannot locate information on how to repeat the desired "cross stitched pixel" effect.

I'm having trouble putting a sample pic here so if some generous person want's to take a crack, Nothing racy, not even a person, it's part of a lamp with a door.
I have a macbookpro with a built in iSight camera. I recently took some pictures but they lighting in the room was bad and they are not that good. They are not clear and slightly dark.
I have been able to make them brighter but the sharpness makes it look like one of those pictures made up of a million smaller pictures.
Is there any process in photoshop CS3 to improve the quality/clarity on these pictures?
I don't expect magic from photoshop, but I was hoping that it had features built in that would make it a better picture.
I tried NeatImage, that seemed just to blur the picture slightly. That took away the pixelation, but it was like looking at the picture through a shower door.

does anyone know how to create a gradual pixelation effect? for example one end of the image you can make out the individual pixels, and gradually the image quality improves until you have a high res look.

I am working on the logo for my company's website. Heres my prob. at 100% this image is fine, but every time I resize (smaller) I end up with pixelation / fuzz on a couple letters (Particularly the P).
This is my original, click it because otherwise the "dot" is pixelated.
This is my resize:
How can I go about sharpening up the smaller images so the text entities look as good as the big image? Is there some trick to resizing that I dont know? I feel stupid asking about this it seems like I know how already and just can't remember.

I have done a photoshop design (640x480pix tall@150dpi) and i need to make the image into a 100x70pix thumbnail gif at under 4kb.
Obviously the design just pixelates when i change the size and i have tried everything to try and stop it but it just won't work.

When I free transform and warp a layer to lie flat, sometimes I'll get this harsh pixellation at one end of the layer. It doesn't appear while I'm doing the warp, just suddenly coming up when I hit enter to apply the transformation.
So for example, Ill be transforming this grid, which is originally about 9x this big.So when I''m running the transformation/warp, it looks like this Not great, but at least most of the lines are still intact on the left and back (the right side is basically fine looking) But once I hit enter, I get this And now like, half the lines I did have are gone, and what's left is super pixelated.
Is there an interpolation setting I could be using? Is it something unavoidable from how distorted I make the layer?

Trying to change color on a simple png image, and when I save it comes out rough around the edges.
I've included the original (on top) and the new (on bottom).
Literally all I've done is paint bucket fill with the new color.

Problem: How to enlarge (100 times) image of multiple intersecting low resolution contour lines wile avoiding pixelation?
Simple answer: It can't be done.
Second thoughts: Well, under some circumstances it can be done... sort of. For example if lines are orthogonal to begin with then simple re-sample to nearest neighbor algorithm will do fine. If lines are simple enough, then tracing them with pen tool and recreating the original lines at higher resolution by stroking the paths with a brush will do also. Also if original lines are smooth and thick enough then some re-sampling, blurring and leveling can work (anisotropic diffusion filter may work) but will produce smoothing artifacts at corners.
From what I can see the problem boils down to creatively converting the original lines to vectors (paths / shapes) and avoiding the whole messiness of raster anti-aliasing. But here we face additional problems: Adobe trace engine is not smart enough to recognize geometric shapes, intersecting lines, straight edges, orthogonal lines and mathematical curves - just try to trace a font and you will end up with a baggy monster. Additionally, it appears that in Photoshop center-line trace is not possible and you are limited to outlines.

I have this problem in X4 and also in X5. When I load MP4 files from my HD camcorder I can preview the clips fine. When I drop them into the timeline, and play the project, the clips are mostly pixelated. When I open other projects that I created in X4 last year using the same type type of mp4 files, I see no pixelation in the project preview. All of these mp4 files are using smart proxy.

I am using a trial version of Videostudio Pro X3 and am experiencing some difficulty producing good quality DVD's & video files (via share->Create Video File).
My original video has been captured from an 8mm camcorder and is good quality. The file type is MPEG-2 TS Video & is 2.2GB.
If I import it into the timeline, select Share->Create Video File->Custom and set the video data rate to 8000kps
my resulting mpg file has overall good quality but there are some very jerky movements and pixelation.
These are not present in the original mpeg-2 file. I get a similarly poor result if I select Share->Create Disc which starts up DVD Factory and burn a disc
However, if I have nothing in my timeline and select Share->Create Disc which starts up DVD Factory, add media, selecting my MPEG-2 TS Video file and then burn a disc. The resulting disc is excellent quality with no jerky movements or pixelation.
However, this isn't much use to me because I want to edit my video but seems to prove that something strange is happening in VideoStudio Pro X3 or my use of it.

adding material problem. It looks pixelated and it doesn't appear to be covering correctly. The error message is on the screen but it reads when I add the material: "Warning: Mesh shape extruded surface shape20 has no triangles in tessellation." I'm also rendering it at 300 dpi... and have at 72 as well.
Did I screw up my initial polygon column.Just a simple column design..What you see is just with the standard color (metallic) that comes with Maya. But even with my own texture stock material it doesn't work which you can see in the column closer to the screen.

I am designing images for printing on vinyl, with the print shop requiring 72 ppi .tiff files.Producing the file in Illustrator (.ai) and printing it produces a clear image on paper without pixellation.
However, when I export to .tiff @ 72 ppi, the result is heavy pixellation which I cannot print.How do I avoid this pixelation when exporting to .tiff in Illustrator CS6?
