High quality images

[Matt Sullivan]

Hadn't thought of the multiple instance angle...good point.

My clients have opted for the Cut/Paste (yes, groan all at once) because
even the fast option of saving as TIFF and importing slows down a doc with
300 or more captures. They had more difficulty managing file names than
managing files referenced in multiple locations.

Along those lines, another client refuses to import native .ai files and
instead uses EPS because of the .5 second delay in preview. The little
things count when multipled out hundreds of times!

Importing by reference is _far_ better than pasting, IMHO. The graphics
file on disk isn't "redundant" because it's the only instance that
exists. The docs contain only a link to that file, not the graphic
itself. Then, when the screen changes, I just replace the graphics file,
and the doc is automatically updated. If the same screen shot appears in
several places, I don't have to remember them all -- just replace the
one file that's referenced in each place.
