Wow, I see there are quite a few strong opinions on this topic. Thanks very much guys for all of your input, but I must say that I am still not clear on a course of action. Please bare with me, as I am a bit of a newbie on this topic.

Bill Swallow, you said �Use JPGImportByReference in your WWP image mapping�; is it really that simple? Will I indeed get the best quality images by allowing my graphics to remain jpegs and simply using the JPGImportByReference when I begin using WWP?

Sean says jpegs are �lossy�; and I don�t even know what that means, but it doesn�t sound good. My screen shots look good in my printed documentation, but I do not have a trained eye in regard to the output quality of different graphic types, in other words, if they can look better, I would like to find out how.

Does a jpeg look less clear than a png or gif? Whats the difference?

Going back to my original question; I currently have jpeg images, but I am willing to make the effort of replacing them with gifs or pngs, if indeed it makes a difference in the quality of my graphics within WWP.

Sean mentioned using BMPs and mapping to PNGs; should I map my jpegs to PNGs?

Theo mentioned using TIFs and mapping to JPEGS in WWP, and if that is the way to go, well then I will stick with my jpegs and use �JPGImportByReference� in WWP, but is that really the best way to attain quality resolution?

Theo also mentioned using GIFs in the original FM files and hence attaining quality graphics in WWP because no conversion was necessary; is that the best way?

And what is all this about CMYK? Good lord, I am so lost on this!

I am using Snagit to capture my screen shots and I can set it to save the images under jpeg, gif, png, or any other graphic type, and I just want a recommendation for the best quality output related to WWP and html-based Online Help. Any advice is again appreciated.
