Copy Picture GIF breaking up

[Conrad Santiago]

We use the Edit / Copy Picture command to save snapshots of our Gantt Views
to GIFs for use by our Project Directors. Some of the GIFs are getting so
big the resolution starts to break up and becomes unreadable.

Is there a way get a higher resolution on these GIFs?

For example, one suggestion in our office was to increase the resolution of
my display before I run the command. Would this work?

Any other suggestions would be helpful.

A gif is a gif is a gif. It's quality is a function of screen resolutions.
Try a larger screen resolultion (more bits this way), and see if this works.
Also try the Copy Picture to Office Wizard on the Analysis Toolbar to see if
you like this better. Also try just a simple print screen (or alt print
screen) and crop it a bit.

Thanks, Bob, for your response.

I ran test with my display set to different resolutions as you suggested,
however, it wasn't making a difference. We are running the GIFs via a
macro. As it turns out, we were using a scaling parameter in the
EditCopyPicture command, which was resizing the image based on a specified
size. It donned on me to use the "pjCopyPictureKeepRange" option which will
produce a full size image without scaling. We now have fully size, fully
readable GIFs.
