I’m working with some photo’s in PhotoShop and haveing trouble getting them to be of high quality when I insert them into PageMaker. If I make them the right size while they are in PhotoShop, they look terribly digitized when put in PageMaker. What am I doing wrong? thanks.

…… I should have also added that if I don’t make them the right size in PS, they are about 2 foot tall in PageMaker; but if I open Publisher and open that same image, it is an appropriate size, and I can drag it to any other size I want, and it prints wonderfully.

Nothing.

When you place a photo in a page layout program like PageMaker, what you see on your screen is just a crude, low-resolution thumbnail of the image. It will print high-resolution; the low-res thumbnail is just there as a guide for placement, that’s all.

Have you checked your Graphics Display setting in the Preferences dialog? If it is set to Standard, you will get a lower quality preview of the image that has been placed into PM. Setting it to High resolution will give you a better (and slower) preview of the image.

If the placed image is an .eps file, the preview sucks anyway you look at it 🙂
