OK this is very interesting. I was under the assumption that you should keep the resolution of the picture at the resolution of the screen, and then import it in also at that resolution. I was not aware that changing the import resolution was advisable.
Off top of my head this seems like it would be difficult to get just the right resolution on the first try giving a particular anchored frame size. Do you have some clever method for getting the resolution right the first time?

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 CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: The information contained in this message may be privileged and/or confidential.
