Question
Huma,

    Thank you in advance for any and all assistance you can provide.  I am presently working on a newsletter and am having problems with placing photos.  I see that placing .tiff files in Page Maker seems to be the preferred method for obtaining highest quality results; however, I am receiving (very) large .jpegs from some of the contributors which aren't appearing properly in PM.  My PM document is 300dpi document but these large .jpegs I am receiving are often 100,120,150 dpi......can I manipulate these .jpegs to work in PM?  What is your advice in dealing with these dilemmas, and for that matter for ensuring consistent, uniform quality for printing?
Again, thank you for any and all help you can provide with regard to the aforementioned problems.

Answer
Dear Alex,

The printing file you are making is basically needs to be in high resolution for offset printing.

The files are good enough to print them out, but if you are not able to see them properly in PM, you just need to open them in PS and fix the imagesize to your required canvas area. I guessthese files should have to be in atleast 266DPI to make them print correctly.
