My Web Images Look Like Giant Blobs
Uhm, if I have a PDF and a Web output, and I add an image, then scale it down for PRINT -- once I add an image class to it (Thumbnail, MaxWidth45percent) it ends up looking like a giant blob. What can I add to the style to keep it from looking like something from Ghostbusters?

Re: My Web Images Look Like Giant Blobs
I'd be looking at the MaxWidth property...
Basically you are resizing an image to a specific size. This can cause images to become blurry as the rendering process has to guess where pixels go to fit the new image size.
If you are using screen shots you are probably better off leaving the images at 96dpi resolution if you can, that way there is no resizing and the image remains crisp. We use this for print and online delivery and find it works well (our screenshots are of Windows and Office products). If you are scanning images or using digital photographs then using higher resolutions works very well.
