Picture Manager - Resolution of images when saving

[SM]

Hi,

I have some large scanned images that I need to crop and resize in Picture
Manager. The image looks great when I first open the original file in Pic.
Man. The cropping works, but when I save the file the picture quality is
greatly reduced to the point where the image looks like lego! I tried this
with original images scanned at 600 dpi and then again at 400 dpi.

Any suggestions to maintain the picture quality would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

SM

Make VERY sure that the Compress files setting is set to "Don't Compress"

I checked the compression settings when I export the file as a jpg, and I
made sure it was checked to use the original compression setting. This still
resulted in poor image quality.

When I tried to export it as a gif it looked great! I'm not sure why this
worked and the jpg export didn't, but I have a feeling its above my head.
