Importing clear, sharp images

[Tim Pann]

Output is PDF, and yes, my issue is with the finished product, not what I'm seeing on my computer screen.

Images often appear choppy in FrameMaker, but come out better in the PDF. The way they look in FrameMaker is just like a preview. Is your output PDF, online help, or both?

I'm using Frame 9 on Windows 7. And my apologies if this has been covered and answered.

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
