Importing an image sequence while maintaining original quality in 2017 release?

Is is possible to use insert>image slide to automatically import a sequence of images while maintaining their original quality? Basically, is there a way to prevent Captivate from automatically downsampling images? Images always look blurry or fuzzy when importing this way. Is there a work around? Thanks!

    Use SVG, not bitmap images for best results  since they are vector-based. But not all images are suited to be converted to a SVG.

    For bitmap images you get the best quality when you import them at exactly the resolution (size) you needs them in Captivate. Changing the size in Captivate will always decrease the quality. I never import images with Image slide work flow, but import them to the Library and drag them on the slides.

    I love using SVG files and absolutely always use them whenever possible, however, in this case, I'm looking for a way to maintain image quality of PNG files generated from a series of InDesign pages. Is there any way to prevent Captivate from downsampling images?
