Guys. what's the rule of thumb when it comes to line drawings, screen shots and photo's when it comes to importing a graphic. I use an old method, if it looks good its OK.
Is there a web page that gives an explanation of what to use and why? -----Original Message----- From: framers-bounces+david.shenton=smithsdetection.com at lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-bounces+david.shenton=smithsdetection....@lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of Combs, Richard Sent: July 13, 2006 12:51 PM To: Jon Harvey; framers at FrameUsers.com Subject: RE: jagged edges on graphics Jon Harvey wrote: > I'm stumped trying to figure out how to import/copy images into FM 7.2 > (Windows) so that the come out right.

Again, these are just simple line drawings. What's the application in which the drawings originate? If they're line drawings, why are you saving and importing them as bitmaps (as implied by "I've tried tif, eps, and various dpi settings.") instead of in a vector format? Richard ------ Richard G.
