Importing clear, sharp images

[Tim Pann]

Several reasons to use Photoshop: 1) I add additional things to the pictures, like arrows and labels and callouts and circles and highlights etc., which I often generate in Illustrator; much easier to move these elements around when they reside on their own layer. 2) I generally make changes to things as I go. For both, it's nice to just change the PS image and hit save. Imported graphic updates automatically, I don't have to re-save in another format, etc.

And why even bring photoshop into the picture? SnagIt will capture and save as PNG directly. That will give you the same quality of captures as what the reader would see on the screen.
No additional work required except possible resizing of screens that are larger than the image area of the document.

SnagIt is up to v12. It has many excellent new features.
I consider it an essential tool of my trade. It is remarkably inexpensive for what it does for me every day.
I would definitely upgrade.

By the way, I'm using version 7 of SnagIt. Is there any reason in the current or any other context that I should spend the money to get the latest version?

For the PSD images I capture (SnagIt) the thing on the screen to clipboard and copy directly into Photoshop. So the source is definitely good.

Are the PSD documents degraded in PDFs or only on screen in FrameMaker?

If the former, I'd say export to PNG. Resizing in FrameMaker by
changing DPI has no effect on image resolution.
