Graphic Images

I am updating a site and when I import the graphic image it is blurry and looks unacceptable. I have gone to the inspector and changed to PNG millions and tired other settings and other images but all are coming out the same. Does someone know whats going on?

I assume you know that they are proper resolution so that won’t be a factor. What is the source for the images? And the original format? Suppose you made it a gif or jpeg – any change?

I saved at 300 DPI is that not high enough resolution. The other images on site are fine

If you are using Pro then you are best to save your original images in a lossless format such as Tiff or PSD and then import into FW

Can you show us an example of these?

Resolution does not mean a lot. If your 300ppi (dpi being a print reference) image is only 100 pixels wide and is scaled up 200% the the quality will be poor.

Are you downsizing the images in Freeway? That’ll create a better image. Then for example if you’re creating JPEG’s in Freeway you can adjust the published quality in the inspector palette.

Try double-clicking the image on the Freeway page and then choose ‘Resample’ in the resulting dialog box.

Thanks for all the help! The problem seemed to be after editing the image I saves it to the desk top and imported into FW when I moved the image to my resource folder and imported it worked fine. Not sure why so would be curious if anyone knows the answer

This looks like a workflow issue.

Firstly you should NOT reference any files/graphics in the Resources folder. The contents of this folder are managed by FW and you should stay out unless you know exactly what you are doing. The graphic files in there have been optimised by FW and if you try and re-import them back into FW you will get all sorts of problems.

If you haven’t done so already create a Media Folder within your website project folder (FW will do this for you if you are using one of the FW Templates). Copy all your media files into this folder ie graphics, movies, swf, PDFs etc.

This will give you one location for all your files and will make it easier for you to keep track of them especially if you have to move them later ie to a new HD.

Then when you are importing into FW do so from the Media folder and then you can be sure that you are importing the original quality image and not one that has been processed already.

If you are using Pro keep these images in a lossless format such as Tiff or PSD so you avoid processing an image twice ie jpeg a jpeg (double compression).

It happens to me once in a while, jpeg, ps or png, what I do and
seems to work fine is that I place the image and or resize it them I
import it again (image selected) and them it looks good. Don’t know
why but it works, Luck
