how do I export sharp graphics from Photodraw to Publisher?
rfc was very recently heard to utter:
I want ot export a graphic I ahve created in Photodraw to Publisher, but the suggested format (tif) seems to loose sharpness. TIFF and PNG are the most lossless formats. Any raster format will lose sharpness, as you are changing from lines to pixels. Does PhotoDraw have an option to select a resolution setting when saving the TIFF file? If you use 300dpi or more (exporting at printed size), you should not be able to see the difference on printed output, even if you can on screen. -- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher |

how do I export sharp graphics from Photodraw to Publisher?
I can export to tiff, and can choose the compression type and size, but not
in dpi. Any other thoughts?

Ed,
The answer is in Custom Size, where you can alter the DPI.
