And every time after that you open and view, and close again, it has thrown away more detail. PDF is a better file for transmitting images around, but I don't think you can bring pdf into DS. EPS would be the best one-all detail is saved but again, I can't keep track of what DS opens. I do all my artwork in Mac freehand, save on a thumb drive as eps, pdf, jpg, ai, everything-and just go in from DS until it 'sees' one but I can't see the file extension in DS so I don't know which one is really working! But I also save on the mac in the full size I want in DS and that's how it opens it up. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
