No matter how good of a picture I have when I insert it into Visio 2013 Pro, it is blurry.

I get blue prints as JPG PNG BMP but no matter how good the quality of the picture, after it is inserted into Visio none of the words can be read.  I even used a 600 dpi 36"X24" crystal clean blueprint and it still looked blurry or pixilated in Visio.  What's the deal with this $300 software?  I can open up the bmp png jpg in previewer and it looks great zoomed in by the way.

    Thankyou.  Please respond to this when a fix is implemented so I can update.  One of the main reasons we bought this software was to insert pictures and draw over them.

    Wow, OK, let's start over.

    I showed you 2 pictures.  The top one is good.  Even at 300%, it is a good picture.  I Showed it to you in magnification to demonstrate that it is a good picture and I'm not inserting a bad picture.  The bottom example is the same picture inserted into Visio magniied to show show how bad it it compared to the original.  It is blurry and useless to me.  My question is:

    Why are pictures blurry when inserted into Visio, and how can that be corrected?

    Hi,

    I notice you put the size 300% in right bottom. If you use the bitmap enlarged and pixels lower, it will become blurred.

    I recommend you put the zoom in 100% size or insert a vectogram to test.

    Regards,

    George Zhao

    This has nothing to do with printing.  Here is what my picture looks like zoomed in using photo viewer:

    This is what it looks like when I insert it into Visio:

    My formating options are set to no compression.
