Picture quailty poor when insterted into drawing

Picture quailty poor when insterted into drawing

Picture quailty poor when insterted into drawing

(OP)
I am trying to insert a picture into SoildWorks while drafting for use in the title block. I have my company logo in .jpg, .psd and .png. Regardless of which format I insert, the image quality is very poor, the colours are off (faded) and it appears pixelated.

Any suggestions or settings you know of to improve the quality?

RE: Picture quailty poor when insterted into drawing

Can you set it up as a .dxf block or something similar? Pictures are hard to play with in SW drawings, and I've had the mose success with putting them in Word first, then copy paste them into the drawing sheet. But that's probably not the best or most direct way. I've seen pictures imported into 2D packages then somehow the "entities" were converted to sketch lines and a .dxf block was created from that. It's not the easiest way, I'm guessing, but it's certainly the cleanest... and best thing is you don't have to do it more than once.

Tried copying and pasting from word, quality is still poor.
