RE: [Finale] {Spam} FinMac 2004c - What happened to EPS preview quality?

2004-06-26 Thread Fisher, Allen
Johannes is correct. We were forced to use a bitmap preview because ATSUI (Apple Type 
Services for Unicode Imaging--the text and type protocol moving forward on the Mac) 
does not support the type of PICTs that we used to do. The type of PICT that we used 
were a lot like EPS in that they referenced a font as opposed to simply taking a 
screen shot. The advantage was that they were tiny and as an added benefit looked 
decent on screen. We opted to keep the file size small. If you want to be able to 
adjust the resolution of the preview (or request that it be a higher resolution), send 
a feature request in.

Subject: [Finale] {Spam} FinMac 2004c - What happened to EPS preview quality?


Now we have EPS back in Finale for mac, but what on earth happened to the on screen 
preview quality? It's dreadful. I used to be able to read EPS's in Word quite clearly 
on screen when they were made in Finale 2002b, now they are quite blocky and low res.


I opened a Fin2002 document up in Fin2004 and exported the same graphic into word, and 
although they print the same, on screen the new version is awful.


Why would this be?

I guess ideally Finale should allow to set the preview resolution, but as it
stands I am glad EPS works at all.
Yes, I agree there.
