I have the new VS x4. My experience with both x3 and x4 have been good. They produce an excellent DVD. In most cases , I use both video and pictures . My problem is with my pictures that are portrait format. When I play them on the TV, they are not sharp as with landscape pictures. Some are some what distorted. My thought is, they have to be compressed for the Tv screen, but not sure.
View 3 RepliesI am using both Paint Shop Pro X3 & Video Studio X3. I'm putting together a slideshow and when I use Pan & Zoom to zoom on a particular subject (as a bee on a flower) after so much zoom the picture blurs. I have a very good camera and the photo remains sharp in Paint Shop Pro in extreme zoom. Is there a way to sharpen the image while zooming in Video Studio?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm pretty new to photoshop, and I've started on a personal project. I want to basically take a video still from a music video and turn it into a poster. Sadly i can not find a good quality version of the video as it is older and not super famous, (kyuss-one inch man). So i found an online video that is better then youtube but not great, and i captured it through the vista snipping tool (screen capture).
Basically I want to take this low quality picture, and turn it into a good quality poster (not huge). What techniques and things must I do? I'll probably have to find a printer near here and require a specific dpi as well.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI was at an event a few months ago that Kal Penn was at and took a picture with him but unfortunately only had my Blackberry to take the picture. I've tried to improve the picture quality in Photoshop 7.0 myself but I just can't seem to get this picture to look any better.
How to make the picture better quality? There is a lot of noise and it's just all around low quality. I've attached the full size picture but feel free to resize it if that makes it easier to edit.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a few Hi-Res pictures that I need to edit to look like they were taken on a lower res camera for an photog class.
I know how to make it grainy and lower the contrast a bit, which helped, but the pictures are still very crisp and clear. I don't want them out of focus, but a little blurry to look as if they were captured on something like a camera phone.
I have a design that is approx 9 inches by 11 inches @ 250 dpi. I would like to increase the print size for canvas to 16 x 20. My question is, after I create my new image for 16 x 20, if I scale up my picture (design) layer to 16x20, will that produce poor quality? Or am I just "stretching" the pixels?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am myself a photoshop student and I wanna learn about graphic designs, currently Iam working to create pamphlets for an organization.maybe some of you know that for creating brochures you need to set 300 resolution of your image,So only and only high resolution images can be used for this, and we cant find high resolution images easily but that random images which we preserve are mostly workable so that images which Iam trying to use in my brochures are mostly 500/300 px or maximum I may find 800/600 px which is not enough, I at least need to have 1600/1200 px images for a pamphlet I know we mostly use IMAGE SIZE to enlarge the image but as much as we enlarge the image size, the quality becomes more poor that's what the problem is so I wanna know if there is any method of increasing size of the image without losing it's quality,

View 11 Replies View RelatedI used to use MediaStudio Pro to create picture in picture especially where the picture starts small and grows to cover the entire background video clip.
I looked for and found a video filter which I thought would allow me to do the same. However after viewing the 'help' for the filter and trying just about everything I could think of I cannot achieve what I want to do if start with a video clip and then have another video clip appear (very small) in one area of the background video and then slowly grow larger to eventually cover the background video clip.
I can make the picture in picture appear and grow larger but it covers the entire background video clip with black effectively covering it no matter what size my picture in picture is. I looked for a chroma key to cover the black out but could not find it.
I'm trying to assemble a figure for a publication in a journal. one of the images has been created by the person who generated the data using MS paint.the files he has sent so far have not had resolution above 96 dpi, saved as a png. I need better res files to send to the publisher, I'm hoping we can save it out such that it will be 600dpi?
I'm laying out the final figure in photoshop, and have created a high resolution document in which to import this image from paint with some other images. however, when i check the res on the files that he's given me so far, it's screen res.
I imported a digital picture into a CorelDraw document--it looks great in the document. When I converted it to a PDF, the picture quality looks terrible.

I want to resize an image without loosing picture quality but I'm not making it larger - I'm making it smaller. For example, there are small stars in the background which seem get deleted when I resize it.
But here's the thing - After resizing it (but before "confirming" my changes), it looks perfect. Then I hit enter and then it deletes certain details. Basically I can look at the image at the size and quality I want in PS but I can't save it that way. And it's not a matter of saving it with a higher quality level, it happens as soon as I resize. WTF?
I was told that if you resample by using exact multiples of the original file percentage size such as 100% to 50%, or 100% to 200% that image quality isn't compromised as much.

I use the VideoStudio Pro X4 to edit my videos.
This time I have some problems with the quality of my finished projects. I have tried to burn my project as both DVD and AVCHD. On DVD the quality was really poor with grainy picture.
The AVCHD disc was much better but there was lots of "strobe" in the movie. Especially where I have added transitions and text fields.
My raw video-files is HD video (MTS-files). I also use the proxy tools to make the editing go smoother. I think my computer should handle this without the Roxy, but it doesn't.

I'm using X4. I purchased quite a basic Kodak Zi8 camera around a year ago, which makes decent quality HD movies. Every time when I copy files onto my PC (.mov files in Quicktime), the quality is amazing. It looks real and live. However, whenever I drag the files into Corel X4, the quality diminishes automatically. (Before even editing).
View 9 Replies View RelatedI shoot either in 720p or 1080p for different projects, but for any one shoot I produce a blu ray and a standard DVD disc (pal). I'm simply looking for clarification on best practice for transfers to MPEG2 to minimize loss of picture quality. I understand some loss is inevitable going from HD to SD, but a best practice for everyone is worth knowing.
My questions are,
1/ After applying my colour grades and FX to my project, am I best rendering the clips firstly in the SAME format they were taken? Then afterwards, take the enhanced HD clip and convert to MPEG2. Or, does it not really matter - just apply the effects and render all in one go to MPEG2?
2/ Is it better to downgrade from 1080p rather than 720P?
3/ I use 2 pass encode, 100% quality in my settings and ensure no re-rendering takes place on burning. Any other rendering or burning settings you recommend?
4/ Finally, on a 50" TV, the results are fair-good for the burned SD DVD. However, even commercially made films from the 80's still look better. Do they use a higher bit rate or different compression method?

I am trying to use the FX picture-in-picture effect,but can't make it work. I see the inserted picture but not the background,the background is black!
I must say that the instructions are not very clear. It says: "Place the Picture-In-Picture effect on the clip that should be inserted in the background and place the background track behind it." ?
How do I place the background behind the clip afterwards? That's not possible.
