I think the JPEG file format does not have any way of specifying the resolution of an
image (or if it
does, MI Pro does not set them). By resolution I mean the pixel density per inch - not
the size in
pixels. MapInfo only exports images at "screen" resolution - often this should be
changed when
you need to send maps to film for printing (typically 300dpi). TIFF images, although
generally
larger, do have built-in attributes for resolution and they can be changed by many
paint programs
(I use Corel PhotoPaint quite a lot) without changing the image size. When the images
are then
brought into a page layout program (say PageMaker), they are sized correctly and at a
suitable
resolution for the output device.
