Jpg image quality outside of Publisher
Posted by vicky on January 13th, 2006

I'm using a trial version of Publisher 2003 - trying to determine if it will
work for me to create various web graphics (headers, nav buttons, etc.) for
use in a hosting companies 'build it yourself' website tool/customizable
templates. The images look graphics look great in Publisher, but when I save
them as jpg or gif files and insert them into the design template, they
become very granular and pixelly. Will the Publisher with digital imaging
help this or is there something I'm missing? I'm not a programmer so the
'create html code yadayad' is not a solution for me!

Publisher is not an image editing program it's a dtp program to like put
stuff on paper.

Use Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro or any one of the zillion image editors out
there to edit images....and creating graphics are another matter an possibly
another program. I use PS for images, Xara Xtreme for graphics (dumped
illustrator for Xara). MS is working on a program called Acrylic which is
pretty cool too.

Publisher is not really designed to create websites, although it can.

In addition to what Rob suggested, check out Xara MenuMaker and Web Style.
They are specifically designed for web graphics.
