a designer created some print images in freehand. they are large… 300dpi. he’s sent several of them to me to post on his website… he sent them as tifs (at 180dpi) and smaller jpgs and pdfs and gifs and etc… even eps. trying to get a decent looking image. trouble is, i open them in photoshop 7, and they ALL look awful. pixelated and blurry.

is there some process he should go through in freehand to make them look better, more web-ready?

Try a higher DPI setting in Photoshop and enable anti-aliasing while importing the EPS. Then resize in Photoshop to the desired size and save.

It may sound weird, but have him export them as bitmap images from freehand. I’ve had pretty good luck doing this in freehand 9.0
