Poor legibility of hand written documents when imported
When I import handwritten (or small text:12 pt.& below)documents into Premiere CS6 the legibility is lost. The scanned documents look sharp when opened in Windows Photo Viewer, but not in Premiere. What’s the solution?
O.S. = Windows 7

What kind of files are you importing, and are you viewing the images at full resolution in Premiere?

The files I’m importing are .jpg. The documents were scanned by the client at 300dpi. You asked if I’m viewing the documents at full resolution in Premiere. I didn’t know there was any other way to view them in Premiere. Regardless, they look awful in Premiere and awful when turned into a video on DVD.

DPI is meaningless in video, that’s a print measurement. DOTS PER INCH. PIXEL DIMENSIONS are what matters. 1920×1080….3000×2000…stuff like that. Video is 72dpi, but really, if you bring in a 4000×2000 picture with 5DPI, it’ll look better than 430×240 at 600DPI.
So pixel dimensions are what matter.

Both the viewer and the timeline window have quality setting drop down menu underneath them (full, 1/2, 1/4, etc.,).
Also, DVD is only 640×480 so anything with fine detail is going to turn to crap compared to what it looks like in HD (or great than HD if it’s a picture or scanned image).
