RE: Pb with image quality in Frame

["Violaine TRUCK" <Violaine.TRUCK@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I usually ask the developers to send me a folder containing all .gif images
Yes, everything looks fine in Fullshot or paint. Shall I work with bmp
files instead? I think I tried that anyway and it does not make a
difference. Besides, I was told it's not a good idea to work with bmp as it
produces very heavy files.

The image quality looks ok although not as clear than if they had been
copied & pasted  in my Frame files but when making a pdf and later online
help, some images are completly blurred or much worse than if I had simply
pasted them from word.
What shall I do?
Thanks

It is very surprising that pasted-in graphics copied from Word would look
better than imported gifs. I always advise folks to avoid graphics that
have
been pasted into Word, because it's the fastest way to ruin your graphics.
(If I'm not taking the screenshots myself, I make sure the person who is
sends me bmps, not just a Word file with pasted-in graphics.) How are you
creating the gifs? Do they look good when you open them in a drawing
program? My first thought is that the colors in the graphics are being
distorted when you convert them to gifs (which have only 256 colors).
