I'm working with a high resolution architectural drawing that, once imported to Shark FX, appears so fuzzy that I can't make out numbers or even lines spaced close to each other. I need to constantly refer to another copy of the drawing opened using OS X preview. Also: -imported PNG images appear completely black -imported jpg images seem to partially/sporadically obscure lines in the drawing unless I set transparency on. (By the way a search of the help menu and user guide for "transparency" turns up no information regarding why this happens. I could also find no information in the program help regarding what the transparent background pixel tolerance setting does.)
