Line art: charts, graphs and illustrations

Line art

Encapsulated PostScript ( EPS  ) or 
800 dpi TIFF  ( CMYK  colour or greyscale  ) 
Continuous tone: photographs, micrographs etc.

Continuous tone

250–300 dpi TIFF(CMYK colour or greyscale) 
Combinations of photographs, labelling, line art and annotation

Combination figures

Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) or 
800 dpi TIFF(CMYK colour or greyscale) 

You don't need professional, expensive illustration software to create print quality figures. Create PostScript from any application. 

A selection of miscellaneous digital imaging resources and downloads  for authors is available for review.
