Outlook 2013 signatures

Are you sure you're saving them at 96dpi? Cos based on what you've posted that should solve it (it makes sense, like).

It should be the one you import into 'signature editor' (or whatever) that you rescale, not the ones that are spit out at the other end (it'll be too late at that point).

I have an image in mine that is 61x79.  I haven't heard of any issues like you are seeing.

My code looks like this:

Code:
<v:shape id="Picture_x0020_3" o:spid="_x0000_s1026" type="#_x0000_t75" alt="Matson FINAL VERSION one color green tree no box" style='position:absolute;left:0;text-align:left;margin-left:0;margin-top:0;width:46.1pt;height:59.05pt;z-index:251659264;visibility:visible;mso-wrap-style:square;mso-width-percent:0;mso-height-percent:0;mso-wrap-distance-left:9pt;mso-wrap-distance-top:0;mso-wrap-distance-right:9pt;mso-wrap-distance-bottom:0;mso-position-horizontal:center;mso-position-horizontal-relative:text;mso-position-vertical:absolute;mso-position-vertical-relative:text;mso-width-percent:0;mso-height-percent:0;mso-width-relative:page;mso-height-relative:page'>

<v:imagedata src="cid:image001.png@01CED499.53F14A50" o:title="Matson FINAL VERSION one color green tree no box" />
 
It's a lot uglier than yours.  Oh cool I have a gray trailer!

Pretty sure - I've resized the original in Photoshop (CS2) going via image-image size-resolution.

If it's not there, then I don't know where to change it. :/

Sticking the rescaled image into the signature editor is what I tried first.

The image is a similar size, I'm using a 75x98px size. What DPI have you got with yours?

Also that code looks freakishly different. Was that generated through an Outlook 2013 sig?

I built the sig in Word because I'm using a table.  I had a hell of a time getting it to keep the correct table layout.  I'll try to paste what it looks like below.  How do I check DPI?

I hope the border stays, the image is under my name and title.

Shit the border didn't stay. And it dropped the left cell down.  I'll take a screen snip.

Here is the layout.  Sorry for the ugly blue lines, I don't need calls about kitchens or bags at work.

I've built sigs before in HTML using tables and AD references and might have to revert back to it, 'cos they worked. I just don't get why Outlook insists on a 96dpi image, then buggers about when you provide one.

Just for reference here's what happening:

Signature on the member of staff's PC when creating an email, and how it appears when it comes through to me.

Like you've done, names blocked out as I don't need another barrage of emails in our filters to sort through.

I hate trying to figure stupid shit like this out.  I don't have an answer for you, but I wish you luck!

Cheers dude.

I'll try building a table type signature and see if that works.

If you can't seem to get it let me know and I'll upload my template for you to try.

Resolution does not equal dpi (just in case you're making that mistake)

I do have to wonder what in the hell Outlook cares about the DPI setting in an image for.
From: Matt29 Oct 2013 19:17
To: af (CAER) 15 of 23
I think the problem is it doesn't. Or at least some part of it doesn't, while another bit does obey the dpi.

There's a setting under that menu that lets you change the pixels per inch.

I've never really thought much about it, but this site gives a fairly comprehensive lecture on the difference between DPI and PPI.

So, as Xen alluded to, how the hell do I check I'm playing with the right numbers?!

Looks like it could be a simple solution if it works. I'll check when I'm back at work on Thursday.

Thanks!

Thursday? You expect us to wait while you enjoy a day off?

microsoft is rubbish ever since they switched from ie to word for their outlook html engine. It's been a huge pain in the ass for html email.

Yep!

It's half term here, so at home with Clare and the kids. Today we're fixing my orrery, baking cookies, carving a pumpkin, making pumpkin bread, visting my brother and heavily pregnant sister in law, and taking the youngest youngling to the health visitor to get him weighed.

Should be fun. :)
