1. * Never * use JPEG, GIF or BMP images in PageMaker.
You should only use TIFF (for bitmap images) or EPS (for vector
art) images in PageMaker. You should also always use the Place
command and not copy / paste images into PageMaker do***ents.
2. It is usually best to use Photoshop to scale the image to the
appropriate size ... BUT it is not only the width and height that
you should look at.
The DPI resolution of the image also needs to be appropriate to
how the do***ent will be used. Roughly the DPI resolution of the
images should be about:
On-screen PDF 72 DPI - 100 DPI
Inkjet / laser printing 150 DPI - 200 DPI
Press printing 300 DPI - 600 DPI
(ask the print company what they want)
This assumes that the image is the correct width and height and
is not scaled when Placed into the PageMaker do***ent.
By all means keep a higher resolution of the image for editing in
Photoshop, but for the images used in PageMaker do***ents using
anything more than these DPI values is simply a waste of disk
space, print time, etc.
