Important: If the TIFF files you want to add to the layout have a resolution different than the resolution of the layout (defined in the Layout Setup dialog box), you can choose to automatically resample the resolution of the TIFF files to the layout resolution. This is done in the Layout preferences by selecting the Resample file to layout resolution automatically check box. If you want to maintain the resolution of the TIFF files, change the resolution of the layout in the Layout Setup dialog box (File > Layout > Setup) or first open the TIFF files and then switch to layout mode (Modify > Switch to Layout).
