Hi,
Are you talking about clearing them up in PD or having them imported to PD from another program?
I have found that using a bitmap editor if you export as jpg use no compression and the 4:4:4 algorithm givess good results (but be aware jpg are LOSSY meaning each time the image is manipulated is loses some clarity)

I meant loading pics into PD9 from a USB hard drive, it seems that the way I do it I lose clarity and defination?

Thanks for the help

Hi,
Well it is hard to say then..there is an old saying 'garbage in garbage out' not that I say your iamges are garbage, but if they were saved to the usb compressed (to save space) then nothing will fix them.
I generally work in Corel PhotoPaint (for bitmaps)and Xara Designer pro 6 (a vector application) exportinng to TIFF or PNg format. I use PhotoPaint to crop as necessay and save again as either jps using 4:4:4 algorithm, or as Tiff (it is lossless and png (lossles)).

It could be lossy, I save my files way too many times and repeated places, I guess I will try to load files right from my camera and see what goes (Canon sx100is) which amazigly sells for more now than I paid for it, which is really weird for a digital camera

My vid camera is an older JVC Eviro, it still takes great video, but the distant objects take a hit

here is s vd made with
PD8 and the old eviro

that is really a crazy price, I paid 170.00 or something like that
