Text is exported really nice in Studio 13, however image quality is terrible.
I've tried so many variations:
2000 px images scaled down (for support on iPad 3)
100% actual size images
Different PPI resolutions
Different file formats
The excruciatingly difficult thing is that sometimes, in future exports, images appear crisper than earlier publishes...and nothing was done to alter the images.
I can't find out what the magic recipe is to have a nice export of images. Even the logo you put in the player exports really crappy in comparison to other authoring tools in Powerpoint...like Claro and iSpring
Can you give us a link to something you have online so we can take a look and comment? Also, provide a link straight to an image or two that you're using, but aren't rendering clearly. That way we can compare.
Personally, I'm not having any image quality issues. I always use images that are scaled for 100% and at 72 dpi (optimized for internet). I also set the "Image Quality" slider to 100% at publish time. What do you have that set at?
100% as well. But we're also trying to support the retina display of the iPad, so quality looks better.
I'm not sure if I can link anything publically....you know...legalities and stuff... but here's a picture showcasing powerpoint, ispring, and articulate
Yeah, that may be the quality I'm getting, too, on the iPad. I try to avoid small font sizes for that reason. Output on an iPad with the retina screen will look much sharper. It makes a big difference, but I'm not sure how that translates to jpegs that contain some fairly small text.
I can confirm that we are dealing with same image quality issue when exporting from Articulate Studio; it's terrible. We use Adobe Presenter and are/were considering switching over to Articulate Studio, but the lack of quality output makes that impossible. Adobe Presenter and Articulate Presenter output nearly the exact same Flash-based output. If Adobe can do it, anyone can. The HTML5 output from Articulate is even worse. Based on the dimensions of the PowerPoint and it's images, the Articulate output is smaller and it still looks terrible. These are all from the exact same PPT:

I wonder what I'm doing wrong
