Question
when i insert jpgs into my .ai file, i find that it looks more or less okay when at full size (say 2592 x 1944). but, if i shrink the image in illustrator (by dragging a corner), it gets extremely highly pixelated. i've tried this same procedure in microsoft word, PDF'd it, and had no issues. help! :)
Hi Mike,
You should be resizing your jpgs in Photoshop. Illustrator is a vector program and is not mean to render raster images. It does not have the same resampling capabilities as Photoshop so it is degrading your photo when you resize.
Thanks
Kevin
