Hello everyone,
I have created some graphs in Origin 8 but I'm having some trouble with the quality when I export them. In .pdf or .png format, the figures seem to end up blurry and just generally look terrible. Can someone please recommend the "best" file format to use for clear, crisp figures that aren't gigantic files? I have to put them into a .doc document so large files aren't very handy.
Thanks!

Hi,
PDF, PNG exports etc should not look blurry or look terrible. Hard to know what the problem is without seeing what you have and what you get. Please send your OPJ and your exported graph image to tech supprot so we can check.
Here's how to send files to tech support:

Okay, thanks easwar. Perhaps it is an issue with Photoshop. I want to open two .png files in Photoshop and then combine them into one which I then use in my .doc file, but when I open them in Photoshop, the figures appear blurry. Thank you for your help though - now that I know it is an issue on my side and not a known issue with Origin 8, I am more apt to solving my problem :)
Have a lovely day,
~t |

Hi ~t,
You should not have to use Photoshop to combine Origin graphs. You can have more than one layer on a single graph page, and use the graph page itself to arrange your layers and then export or copy-paste that composite graph to Word.
Or if you want to keep the individual graphs separate, you can use Origin's layout page to arrange multiple graphs and then export the layout page as a single image to place in your Word doc.

Awesome, thanks! I'll try that out! I didn't know that was possible :D
You're a gem, thank you!

When I had to combine graphs, I've been using Illustrator. I'd just export them in vector formats (AI-native files) and then do presentation manipulation in Illustrator. I never tried the layout page in Origin. On the next presentation, I might give it a try (although, illustrator has a lot of the tools I need) |
