Operating System: Catalina
Finale 26
I have been working on a new project, and have consulted with expert Robert Puff. The following seconds his request, as I have spent way too many hours hassling on getting Finale graphics transformed and imported into Adobe Illustrator. PLEASE respond to this feature request to include within Finale Preferences a section for Graphics Export defaults to support exporting graphics. And of course I can't do what I want in Finale because the graphics inside the program are inadequate.
1) User Preference for the preferred Default graphics export file format, including an option for transparent .png
2) A popup to set the default DPI resolution for Bitmapped graphics formats such as PNG and TIFF, which includes "other" DPI as is possible in the Export Pages or Export Selection dialogs.
Please make Finale's Default DPI for bitmapped graphics 300dpi. The current 72dpi default is a holdover from early internet days! Web designers no longer use low res 72 dpi images, and of course it is unsuitable for print media.
(Currently, more common www dpi resolution is 144 dpi (Mac) or 96 dpi (Windows)- if you are being inclusive of web images, you might want to consider changing the 150dpi to 144dpi and adding a 96 dpi to the popup list, although users can specify their own.)
In summary, there are currently more steps than there should be to export a graphic from Finale, and a section in Preferences for graphics export will reduce the number of steps currently required for Graphics export.
Also, PLEASE make expressions alphabetically organized within categories. This would save huge time.
There are MANY users who want to stay with Finale for a lot of their work, such as myself, but urgently need a better way to export graphics for other programs or will have to consider changing.
Thank you for your attention to this problem..
