Images shrink in output

Post by msun84 »

I'm having a strange issue with Flare. The images I imported from the word document look fine in flare, however when I build the output .chm file, my images seem to resize and shrink, making some of them unreadable.

Is there any way to have them stay the same size?

This is an issue that relates to the issue of Dots Per Inch (DPI)....that has been set for the image

Your screen resolution in DPI is 96 DPI. Its still clear.
Print output is a little bit different. a good dpi is theoretecially around 150 dpi. Its possible that the images specified dpi is a bit too high for online outputs. (your display 96 dpi, your picture for screen has higher dpi, 150)
however when I build the output .chm file, my images seem to resize and shrink, making some of them unreadable
You don't actually need madcap capture for most of it. If you're saving the screenshot in any graphic program like photoshop, you just need to specify the correct ammoun of spi.
