I am having a problem.
I often have images in Word or Excel documents which I can’t save as image files- I can only copy them.
I’m using Photoshop Elements, when I then try and paste the image in as a new image, the quality drastically detiorates. The guys in our design dept. are using the full Photoshop and have the same problem. The original images are not at fault- they are good high res images and when I enlarge them by dragging the corner they stay very sharp, so it’s something to do with the copy and pasting process.
Does anyone have a solution to this?
Regards

Are you copying clipart from Word or Excel?
You have quality problems when you paste them into a new document in PSE, what is the resolution of the new document?
Try right clicking on the image in the host application and then do a save image. Save it to where you can find it and then try and open it from PSE.
