Bad resolution layers when importing from PS

[danielag66655671]

So, I made a small background in photoshop and I want to animate the clouds, but when I imported the layers to Animate, they all got with a terrible resolution, my low oppacity layers are all pixelated and have white all around them, Can someone help me?

is that a screenshot?

if so, of the animate stage?  or the published swf?  something else?

[danielag66655671]

it's from the animate stage, although the swf looks similar.

Ive tried changing the quality to lossless and all but its still pixelated, I dont know if I have to do something in photoshop before importing or not

[danielag66655671]

oh never mind, I fixed it, wasnt changing from Lossy to Lossless when importing, thank you

With the export from Photoshop you may as well make it be either PNG or PSD. No point in JPEG compressing it at that stage, if file size becomes an issue you can set the JPG compression in Animate.

Make sure you try the stage.quality = "best"; line too, that can make a big difference.

how to change the stage quality? i have the same problem im trying to import a photoshop pic in animate but it keeps loosing quality and changing colours! please help

There are at least two things you can set to improve the image. In the Library select the images and click the Properties i button. In there you can enable Smoothing, and also change the quality to lossless or high quality JPEG. The other thing is to increase the stage quality. Put this script in the Actions panel of frame 1 in the timeline:

stage.quality = "best";

That should make it look a lot better.
