Hi,
Everytime I rotate a photo graphic image, the image gets slightly distorted.
I have tried “ignore resolution,” “Pass-through” .png, .jpeg, .gif.
I have a photo that is real clear as .png and .gif but just want to put it in and rotate it a little and keep it clear.
Is this possible and what am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Barry

In addition,
let’s say I have an image in photoshop that I scaled down to 90x90pxls and saved as a .PNG
when I import it into FW as a graphic it comes in REAL TINY. This happens a lot.
I then must click- Ignore resolution but this seems wrong and says PLUGINin the inspector while losing options.
This photo stuff confuses me!!

I’ve noticed this too and it drives me banannas. As advanced and powerful
as freeway is, it shouldn’t have a mickey mouse issue like this. Even iWeb
doesn’t mess up graphics when they are rotated (but it has a LOT of problems
elsewhere…)

Thanks for the words Chris,
I hope we are just doing something wrong and there is a better way…

here is a terrific answer from the people at SoftPress (even though the result is not that good)
"Any time you rotate an image to any angle besides multiples of 90 degrees, you’re going to lose a little bit of quality. The reason is that the graphic program has to guess what a “diagonal” pixel looks like, because that doesn’t actually exist, and the end result isn’t as clean. Depending on the quality of the original image, this slight degradation might not be noticeable, or it might be unacceptable.
If you have a full graphics editing application (such as Photoshop), you might try rotating the image there and then bringing the rotated image into Freeway. Freeway’s graphics engine is pretty good, but it’s not as good as an actual image editors will be."

At what pixel resolution? This is what you typically see when an image is 300ppi.

is pixel resolution the same as Pixel dimensions in Photoshop?

Nope - totally unrelated.
PPi - Pixels Per Inch measures resolution so a graphic displaying at 72 ppi (web resolution) that is 72px x 72px will be 1 inch square
A graphic that is 300ppi when brought into FW (72ppi) will be approx 1/4 of the size - hence the Ignore Resolution checkbox.
While FW does a pretty good job converting images for web use you get better results importing a non lossy format like Psd or Tiff if FW is to process these images again. If you import a lossy format like jpeg then FW will jpeg it again before outputting it. Hence 2x lossy compression conversions.
For the absolute best quality images for a gung ho photography or fine art sites then all image processing should be done in the likes of Pshop - which is designed for this job - and imported into FW as a web ready Pass-Through images which means that FW will not process them any more.
For the rest of us - and I mean for the other 98% of sites - FW will do a great job on your images especially if you start with a tiff or Psd (preferably close to the ppi and dimensions that you are going to be displaying them at but not absolutely necessary)
Bear in mind that most folk that view your sites will be looking at them with some crappy windoze monitor which has never been colour calibrated since the day it was made - if then.
