Save as JPEG problem

[BrentB]

Greetings.

I have created a document in Publisher 2002 and want to
save it as a JPEG image 24x36 inches.

I have noted that the text that is on the document does not
look clear when viewed at 100% size. Edges ragged, etc.

Does anyone out there know if there is any way to specify
the resolution of the file?

Any other thoughts on how I can solve this?

You cannot specify the resolution of the file in Publisher 2002.

In Publisher 2003 you can specify a resolution up to 300dpi. You have 3
choices in Publisher 2003, 96 DPI which is what you get in Publisher 2002,
then there is 150 DPI and 300 DPI.

Hi BrentB,

Here's a fudge you could try:

1. Work out the pixel dimensions of the image you want ie.:
300dpi at 24 x 36 inches = 7200 x10800 pixels

2. Work out what size of image you will need to create to get those pixel
dimensions given the fixed output of Publisher (°°°MS°Publisher°°° says this
is 96dpi; you could check this by viewing the file properties of one of your
existing jpegs in MS Photoeditor, for instance). Assuming 96dpi you'd need
a publisher document 75 x 112.5 inches.

3. Try setting publisher's page setup to this calculated size and exporting
to jpeg as before.

4. Hopefully you'll end up with a 75x112.5 96dpi jpeg. Converting this to
the size (in inches) you want without altering the pixel dimensions of the
image is fairly straight-forward in most image editors (although you may
find that MS Photoeditor won't open the jpeg if it's too big... too many
bytes for it to chew).

Of course you'd need to do this process repeatedly until you work out what
resolution is right. For most printing 300dpi is fine.
Hope this helps,

Gordon.

There is also *original* which keeps the existing resolution of an image.

Brian K you must have a different version of Publisher 2003 to me, as I
brought in a 600dpi image in two formats and I have no 'Original' only what
I posted.

Let me clarify, with a MAX of 300 dpi. If I bring in say, 222 dpi, it will
keep it to original.
