Having the same issue!

[Poster is referring to this thread. http://forums.adobe.com/message/2629681#2629681]

Sending my screen grabs to my Photoshop guy to see if he can make them better - but I'm using RoboScreenCapture.  Seems to me that the screen cap tool should capture the images in adequate quality - but even online resolution is terrible.

What's the process?

What format are you saving the images in?

Before you put the images into FM, if you view them in any graphics software, do they look OK then?

Are they getting resized in FM?

Working with just RH, capturing an image with RSC and inserting it at 100% original size gives good results. Screenshots saved as GIFs always resize badly, JPGs are better with resizing.

I've noticed that RSC grabs the images as BMPs. I resave them as JPGs, highest quality.

I'm not using Framemaker for anything - I just generate FlashHelp in RoboHelp, and it's fine online. Then I export to Word for printed documentation.

However, the quality I'm getting recently from RSC is OK on screen, but horrible (like 32 dpi; small text is not even legible) once image is placed in to RoboHelp.

I have been using PhotoShop for applying arrows and circles to specific images when needed.
