How to import JPG/JPEG image into AutoCAD 2009?
It's very hard to find the right button on the menu (or navigation panel ?)of AutoCAD 2009. So just type the command:
A GREAT way to reduce the .TIF file size while keep same high quality
Use Microsoft Office Picture Manager to open the original .TIF file, then export, set export size to 100%, DONE!
I had a >70MB .TIF image with 10000*10000 pixel, after applying this method, the image was shrinked to ~3MB. It's still 10000*10000 pixel and the quality is still good. That's amazing!

Use Sigmaplot to export high quality .TIF/.TIFF file
Sigmaplot is a powerful tool for drawing scientific charts, and it is also powerful at exporting high quality .TIF/.TIFF file, which can be directly submitted to the journal editors. Here's what I found out how to get high quality images from Sigmaplot:
Firstly, scale down the original graph. The default size of charts are relatively big, usually ~100mm*100mm. It's better to scale them down to 30%. Then select the items, and use highest DPI possible (for me, 600DPI). And change the exporting size to about 3 -5 time larger than the chart size. This will give you a large and clear TIF image.

AutoCAD 2009 TIF output poor quality ! Problem solved!
I was drawing a system sketch for one of my journal article in AutoCAD 2009 and was trying to export it to .TIF file because it is required by the journal. However, the .TIF file I got by using TIFOUT command in AutoCAD 2009 was really of low quality-the image is blurry, and the text can not be seen in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer (but can be seen in Adobe Photoshop and Microsoft picture manager, which is very weird).
So I tried many many ways, including use other command, such as PNGOUT, JPGOUT, to make other type of image and tried to convert them into .TIF. But I failed.
Now the reason of the problem is clear: AutoCAD has a crappy driver for .TIF output. And here's the solution: install the free PDFCREATOR! This free software is so handy, that I can set the output file type, size, and resolution. It is not only a PDF creator, but can used to print all kinds of other types.
I loev PDFCREATOR!
