After editing, photos now look blurry

first I assume you are giving them time to fully display - sometimes it takes a few seconds

When in edit mode if you depress the shift key it will display the original so you can compare them

I am having the same exact problem ... my photos look fuzzy after attempting to straighten them in iPhoto.

I have noticed another weird thing about this problem: if I revert to the original photo, the changes go away and the crispness returns (as one would expect). However, the "Revert to Original..." option remains lit up in the menu.

Someone please advise! I just got back from vacation and I don't want people to think Notre Dame is slanted.

Despite what adobe says, PE 3 works well in leopard for most users. Go to your home>library>preferences folder and delete:

com.adobe.Photoshop.Elements.plist
PE 3.0 settings folder
PE 3.0 Paths folder
opera preferences

Repair permissions and try again.

Hi all,
I've noticed the same problem.
But clearly this blur does not affect the picture files as they are saved on your disk. It's probably just a question of optimized display when looking at pictures in iPhoto.
Take a crisp image, import it into iPhoto. Now simply crop it a bit (you don't even need to rotate it !). When looking at it in full screen, it will now look much softer than the original one, you can check this by pressing the shift key. But now press "1" to see it at 100% : your image is not blurred, it's just badly displayed !
Same problem when simply opening an image in Preview.app -- since leopard there are some fancy zoom animations, but images look indeed very soft at everything but 100% 😟

Hope they will fix this soon, It's frustrating to look at softened images from a marvelous camera ...

Me again...
another trick : export your "blurred" cropped image to the desktop (JPEG, full size and full quality) and import it again to iPhoto, next to the blurred one. The exported picture is then displayed way sharper when seen in a slideshow one after the other !

I've got a slightly different problem but since I just signed up and am apparently an idiot (I can't figure out how to start my own **** thread) I'll have to ask here.

My iphoto is blurring pictures that were crisp when I imported them (I didn't edit them). It doesn't do it to all of them and I called the Mac store I use in town and they said they didn't know.

Any thoughts? I'm running Iphoto 7.1.3 and I'm on a Macbook thats running 10.5.2

I have had the same problem. All photos that have been straightened do not display properly. However, if you change the magnification slightly then they are as sharp as the originals. This seems to be a display bug in iphoto. On the editing page they are fine only in the the display mode (slide show as well).

I'm using 30" Apple Cinema Display.

I think it is pretty outrageous that iphoto can't display images correctly after editing. I would think this would have been caught by some reasonable beta testing.

Thanks for checking. I will leave my pictures alone until Apple lets us know what's wrong.

my old Photoshop Elements 3.0 will no longer work with Leopard

It should. What have you tried?
