Odds are, you are capturing at 72 dpi and then manually resizing the images
down to size. PageMaker is altering your image data to fit the smaller
image in the spase alloted. Rather than manually resizing your images,
place them in your document at 100% (actual size). To make the images
smaller, increase the resolution. (An image that has a resolution of 100
dpi, when changed to a resolution of 300 dpi will require a space 1/9 the
size of the original image.
