Images are fuzzy...

So, I actually have RS up and running and I've solved all the other issues with permissions and such. But a small problem is occuring that I'd like to get help with.
I have images in some of my reports. I've embeded some of them directly into the report and used a URL for others. The problem is that the images display and print fuzzy. The actual image files are hi-res and sharp. I've set the images to autosize so them match the real image in size, but everything is still fuzzy.
Is there a prefered way to display images so they're sharp? Is there a prefered image format, jpeg, bmp, etc?
Thanks!What renderer do you use?

You can specify the DPI of images using some the PDF rendering device
information settings. I think we default to 300 DPI which should be pretty
good.

Are jpegs the way to format the images or is there a better format? Also, does embedding them vs. linking do anything for me?
Thanks!

shouldn't matter.

Imaged don't diplay

Hi, I thought SP1 might have solved the problem, but no. None of the other posts seem to help either.
I have a trivially simple report, with an image.
I've tried various permutations, but when viewing the report in IE a always get the litte red [x].
When rendering the report as PDF the image appears.
The image is defined in the report with an external URL as described in the help.
The img src is something like
IMG src="http://pics.10026.com/?src=http://the-host-name/ReportServer?%2fManagementReportDemo&UserID=3&UserFullName=Administrator&CompanyID=2&CompanyFullName=test&ConfigSettingArbitraryKey=Arbitrary+value&ThemePath=%2fThemes%2ftest&CustomPageID=9&CustomPageName=ManagementReportDemo&CustomPageLabel=ManagementReportDemo&CustomPageLinkLabel=Management+report+demo&ApplicationID=9&WebSiteRoot=D%3a%2fCollaborators%2fDevtMain&rs%3aFormat=HTML4.0&rs%3aImageID=d739efb0-dfab-42ff-b70e-8c9308f32cd1">
Ignore the guff, but whats with the ImageID? Why isn't the URL just there?
I've tried other techniques (eg local image) but to no avail.
Can anyone help?
cheers
MattDoes the-host-name contain an underscore? If so, you maybe hitting
