Ensuring the best image quality

When exporting photographs, scanning images from print, or saving images where highlights and shading are present, save your image files as TIFF files, preferably at a resolution of at least 300 dpi. When saving graphics with areas of discrete colour and linework, save your images as PNGs. If these formats are unavailable, JPEGs are acceptable.
