I deal with scientific data and business models, thus use a number of different items of software. For the sake of consistency in presentations (Powerpoint or Impress) I tend to build my graphics in the native software and then exporting in .jpeg for insertion into the presentation.
The jpeg files, when using at the most 300 dpi, can often not come out perfectly crisp (even though they still get the information across). Now I'm not a graphics guru and just recently I was looking at all of my export options and wondered if any of these would give me a less 'soft' edged look when imported into Impress or Powerpoint? Should I be thinking about using a .png or .eps, or something better? Please understand, I'm not building graphics in any graphical illustrator program, rather things such as Concept Draw, Visio, MindMap, SigmaPlot, QTI Plot etc.
The keystone here is information transfer, not perfect inserted graphics, but I am looking to make my inserted graphics closer to the native package fidelity, without having to worry about the graphics messing up computer to computer. I also just want to export the image and am not interested in any third party programs that add time or complexity to the process."
