JPGs are the worst possible format for images: they are specifically designed to be lossy, fuzzy, and unscaleable. Great for landscapes, lousy for logos.
First, if you can get logs in decent formats, that's you're #1 solution. You can't make silk purses from sow's ears. Second, if you HAVE to work with what you've got, convert them into the best possible format. I don't do Windows, much, these days, and would use ImageMagick on *Nix or OSX to do the conversions: you can batch-process and/or run from the command-line to get the optimal results. As part of that, I'm pretty sure you could also crop/resize/pad the images to get the best results from your source, and that could solve the problem of trying to get the Fox report writer to do the centering. http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/CACW6n4uw9M37=4t-brz+ph1uq489ti_de0ewijrxsga0-sa...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
