Question Hi,
I have a picture I import into Freehand and all looks good until I print it. The picture prints out quite pixalated and jagged but the rest of the page looks great. I imported the picture from Photoshop at 72dpi. Should it be higher or is there an option I missed in Freehand that I should turn on? Oh, and I have pretty much eliminated the printer as the problem.
Thanks a bunch
Answer when i pull actual photos into freehand i use 300 dpi pictures. 72 usually looks great on the web, but not printed. it won't help to just increase the dpi image in photoshop at this point, you will need to re-scan the image at a higher res or you will continue to have a pixelted image upon printing.
