Poor image quality in Storyline 360
Hey guys,
I have found a few threads on poor image quality of previous versions of Storyline, however the new 360 version has also very poor image quality when piblishing. Please see attached scre...
Hi folks!
First, I'm really sorry to hear that you're running into issues with blurriness. I know your goal is to produce high-quality work, and blurry slide images are getting in the way of that. I wanted to share a summary of our findings from Katelin's case, and others.
If you're seeing blurry images in your files, follow these steps:
- Check the original size of the image, prior to inserting it in Storyline.
- Insert the image in Storyline, and check the dimensions of the image under the Format tab:
- If the image is the same size as the original, you shouldn't see a loss in quality.
- If the image is larger or smaller than the original, you could see a loss in quality.
We've got a lot of helpful information on best practices for using high-quality images in Storyline in this article. Hopefully the recommendations in that article will make a difference!
Dear Alyssa,
Thank you very much for the update.
But if I work with screenshots (72 dpi) and import to Storyline resamples to 96 dpi, then the automatic resize due to resample is inevitable? How do I proceed then?
Right? Use the Storyline screen capture tool. It is the only option that I
have found works... It is extremely frustrating. They need to fix this so
that it doesn't automatically resize to the slide size. That is the root
cause of the issue. 🙄Katelin, thanks a lot, I even did not know it has a capture tool for still Images, we only used the Video recording..
Found it!
Windows Snipping tool is crispier...
Dear Alyssa,
There is also some automaticity happening, when I insert a high-resolution image into the storyline: when I work in the Photoshop to prepare it, without adjusting its size to Storyline size, at the insertion Storyline automatically adjusts the Image to fit the width of a slide. Which I find great, but if at this moment also some resampling is happening , then it is of course a pity that we cannot control it.I have checked this. Image is same size, dpi for image is 96. Storyline version is 3.20.16814.0
Hi Webby,
It looks like Tom reached out in a similar conversation with a great explanation here. Just wanted to link it for anyone following along.
