Gang,
I recently upgraded from Office '04 to '08. I have a pair of charts
created in Excel that I used to copy and paste into Photoshop, then save
as jpg format images for posting on a web page. I update the charts
periodically, then go through the conversion process in Photoshop each
time.
Today was the first time I've done this with the '08 version of Excel,
and there are 2 differences in the process when I'm pasting the image
into Photoshop.
The first is that it pastes into a "bounding box" (which then requires
that I right click and select Place to complete the paste). The second
is that the resulting image is notably blurry. The resolution and size
of the image are the same as I used previously.
I thought it was my eyes, so I opened up an earlier version of the jpg
file that I had created when I was still using Excel '04, and side by
side with the new jpg, there was a marked difference in clarity. In
order to get my newly pasted image to look a little better, I had to
increase the jpg quality (and thus increase the file size), but it still
doesn't look as sharp as before.
Here is one of the new images:

I don't claim to know anything about Photoshop except for a couple
basics, so I have no clue what the appearance of the bounding box may
imply about the image, but something is obviously different about the
image that I copied from Excel '08 that is causing Photoshop to treat it
differently than it did when I used Excel '04.
Any ideas?
TIA,
Dennis
