  • Frustrating Image Import problem – photoshop

    Posted by Rob Mason on January 4, 2023 at 5:47 pm

    I have downloaded several hi-res images, most of which are 4256 x 2832 and when I pull those images into photoshop, they appear pixelated and of horrible resolution, even though when I open them in a simple image viewer they look great.

    I’ve been scouring other forums and using some of the other suggestions seen, but I cannot figure this out. I’ve tried…

    – Uninstalling/reinstalling

    – Deleting user preferences

    – Changing Image Interpolations

    – Clicking on/off “Resize Image During Place”

    I am at a total loss here and I cannot use photoshop for an urgent project I have. This is really frustrating. If anyone has real suggestions, please let me know. I know the question will come up of showing pictures of this, but I cannot show them due to the privacy of the project I am working on. Like I said, the hi-res image is appearing pixelated and of very poor quality when dragged into photoshop.

    I am not so sure if you are still experiencing this problem since this was posted almost 3 months ago now but may I ask if you tried zooming in the pixelated problem, does it become even more pixelated?

    And the problem is maybe not Photoshop but the image file itself. Perhaps if you can somehow show me a screenshot of what this image is all about and I can try it out on my Photoshop, I can understand the issue a bit better. Its weird that an image size of 4256 x 2832 to be pixelated. Sometimes a huge image file might take a while to load on Photoshop since its a lot of pixels to cover and also equates to bigger file space.

    One more question, have you tried changing the image size of that hi-res file in Microsoft Paint and then importing it in Photoshop? Let me know when you can to see how I can help you on this.
