Images quality in Pages

Has anyone else had trouble getting an image in pages to display in good quality?

Placing an image at the top of a page that is about 3x2 displays very blurry, especially when viewed in iwork online. Any help is greatly appreciated!!

This is happening in Pages 09 when you drag images from Finder or from the multimedia library from the inspector. I found a simple solution to keep the original quality of my images without increase the resolution:

DON'T DRAG, JUST INSERT FROM THE MENU!

That works for me. I think there is a bug with iwork '09, cause in earlier versions dragging from libraries worked just fine.

You may want to consider saving the file as a PS file, which is what some printers prefer. Unlike a PDF, which tends to discard information, particularly information contained in photographs, a PS file does not. Photographs can be a real issue with printers, particularly if the resolution is below a specific level. Also, when possible try to use jpeg photographs, which can be mich easier to edit


Unfortunately OSX will still work from its internal .pdf files via the ColorSync filters on your system.


The PS file only carries the problem in a different no-longer supported or relevent format.
