One tip I've tried to adhere to with screenshots is to know the Dots Per Inch (dpi) of the monitor on which you're taking the screenshot. Then, when you adjust the resolution of the graphic to fit well on your page, make sure the resolution is a multiplier of the original DPI. So, if you took the screen shot on a 72 dpi monitor, you'd multiply by 8 and save the graphic at 576 dpi, then insert it into your "page" and see if it fits nicely. Play around with that multiplier and see what happens to the distortions. Some monitors are 96 dpi, so that might be the multiplier for you. <br>
<br>Hope this helps! Let us know if it works. <br>Anne<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jan 13, 2009 at 5:12 AM, Derek Holzer <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:derek@umatic.nl">derek@umatic.nl</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
What has people's experiences with images in the rendered PDFs been like? Because PD patches are so, ummm..... linear, they tend to get very distorted and aliased when rendered out to PDF. Has anyone found an optimal image size? The max dimensions given (600 pixels wide. IIRC) are still too large I think. I imagine this is something documented somewhere (ghostscript maybe?)<br>
