Also, pay attention to how large the file size is of the photo before bringing it into to ArchiCAD. Although I have seen ArchiCAD handle decent image sizes, it works much better if the photo is optimized in a photo or bitmap editor first so that you are not bringing in more data than you need to. A photo printed at 100 dpi on plain paper will look just as good as one printed at 300 dpi. An 8 x 10 photo should then be 800 x 1000 pixels max. Using photo paper is a different story.<BR /> <BR /> Also, make sure that the photo is the actual cause of the publisher failure by publishing the same sheet without a photo. What happens then?<BR /> <BR /> Best regards, Tue, 11 Dec 2012 03:26:24 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Documentation/adding-photo-to-layout-page-and-printing/m-p/215442#M58521 NCornia 2012-12-11T03:26:24Z
