Picture Look Awful

[mgm75]

I have a container field that contains a picture. I am using a new camera and here is the problem. The picture prints great from filemaker. It looks very pixelated in the container. Pictures from another camera look great. I tried resizing the field and it does not help. The picture is 4x5.33 at 150 dpi.

Any suggestions??

FileMaker is not very good at resizing images on-screen, which is why you're seeing a pixelated or blurry image. For images to look just right in containers, you might consider resizing them to the screen resolution (72dpi for Macs; is it something different in Windows?)

It also helps to select "Maintain Original Proportions" when formatting graphics for the container in layout mode.

Pixels and DPI are two different things--adjusting the dpi of an image has no effect on how the picture is dispayed on screen. DPI is for printing.

An image that is 100 x 100 pixels will look the same on screen no matter what the DPI setting is.

Since the pictures are for printing it is important to keep the DPI data at least 150 dpi for inkjets.

Images that look strange when re-proportioned in a container field probably have an irregular aspect ratio.
