Jon, I just tried this on my notebook system sitting in a hotel room on a business trip. Did screen shot Alt-PrtSc and pasted the result into a new document in Photoshop 9 (=CS2). Flattened the layers and saved as RGB TIFF with profile embedded and LZW compression (in this case, the profile doesn't seem to make any difference, unfortunately). I then started up FrameMaker 7.2 (updated with all patches available on Adobe web site), created a new document, and imported the TIFF file by reference onto a blank page. Worked like a charm.
What program did you create the TIFF file in? EXACTLY what options did you use to save the file? - Dov > -----Original Message----- > From: Jon Harvey [mailto:JHarvey at cambridgesoft.com] > Sent: Monday, January 29, 2007 10:03 AM > To: Dov Isaacs; Stuart Rogers; Clara Hall > Cc: framers at lists.frameusers.com > Subject: RE: High quality images > > Dov, > > I tried this.
