This fuzziness and jagged edges is usually because the resolution is too low. Check under IMAGE and see if the pic is under 300 resolution, if it is you may have to get a new pic with resolution at least 300. If you try to increase the low resolution it will just make the fuzzy, jagged edges more apparent.

Actually this is false. Raising it to 300 will no have effect on how the image looks on the screen, only resolution has an affect on screen quality.

Here is some basic reading matter!

I can't describe how many times I have heard the Screen Resolution VS. Print Resolution and cried at the answers.

Me? I like to print at 72dpi and have a screen resolution of 300pixels, apart from when neither is applicable! ;)
