Photoshop - Placing an image in Word

[gabrielle1]

Hi there,
I have created an image I'm really happy with in Photoshop which I want to put into a Word document. I go to Insert Picture from File yet when the image appears, the colours are totally different and the text is not quite as sharp as in Photoshop. I really want the image to look the same. Any ideas anyone? I would really appreciate some advice.

Hi,

There is no way to get quality images in word due to the lack of capabilities. What exactly are you trying to do, create letterhead or something?

Are you planning on using the Word file for printing? If so yoy might be better off creating your file in another application if you have them. Word documents do not rip correctly - - RGB coverting to CMYK. ALot of colors rip as very dull and what you think is blacl type will rip as a four color black.

hi, thanks for the replies, yes it would be for letterheads, its just that although they could be viewed on screen, ie as part of an email attachment, the person viewing it could also print it off, so do i use rgb or cmyk? i just dont want it to be so different
