Importing clear, sharp images

[Tim Pann]

What's significant about the number 160? Just wondering, since it's not a simple factor of 72 or 144 or 300 etc.

I use SnagIt to capture all my images as PNGs, then I import by reference at 160dpi and they look great.

Can anyone point me toward a good resource (or just tell me if it's quick) for understanding how to get nice sharp images imported by reference in FrameMaker? I'm working on a doc right now in which I'm mostly importing PSD files. They're all screen captures of a user interface. I have to resize most of them and they're looking pretty choppy. I switched to a TIF image for one and that didn't help.

I know that TIFF is the preferred format (not sure about PSD but many of my PSD imports look nice) but I don't know if there are specific guidelines or recommendations about resolution, resizing once imported, etc.

I'm happy to provide more information about what I'm doing if needed. No idea what's relevant and what's not.

Thank you,
Tim
