TOPIC: Photo resolution in finished report

Re: Photo resolution in finished report 13 years 6 months ago #41108

Annotations are especially difficult, especially text. Text does not scale well, up or down. You can make it look great at a single resolution/zoom. The problem is that if you make it look great at 200% it'll look bad at 100% and vice versa.

I do like the permanent storage idea, I use my logo as the first photo in every report.  Storing it in the template would be a useful feature. 


Another idea is to insert your logo in any document by inserting an HTML image tag:
      e.g.  <img src="image.jpg" />  or  <img align="center" src="C:\ (path to the image.jpg) "/>  or  others

I've had some limited success taking illustrations and removing all the text using photoshop and then reinserting the text back in at a larger font.  Then, at least, when HIP reduces the image to make it fit the labels are still visible.  It seems like hard-edge graphics suffer the most, i.e. a circle or arrow with no shadowing or shading at it's edges.  Very few things in a real photo have pure color right up to their edges, but illustrations and annotations always do.

Are you having any problems with the annotations that HIP creates directly?

He is talking about regular illustrations off files Dom.
That is a big issue when trying to add them through HIP photo edit.

The res in HIP software makes most graphic text unreadable that is imported in to a report (not the text edit ).
