I prepared all my figures in PowerPoint. When I saved them in tiff, the resolution is not good enough for publication. What should I do?

I believe there is a long-standing bug in MacOS PowerPoint (both .ppt and .pptx [Office 2008] version) that prevents TIFF files from being exported as high-resolution files (i.e. ignoring the custom resolution settings you can set). However, high-resolution export does work for some other image formats, e.g. JPEG and PNG. I export to JPG, and then use the builtin Preview.app to convert into TIFF format, and this has been accepted by journals.

Why using powerpoint? I use Coreldraw for the creation of all my images, for articles, posters, flyers, ... You can choose the resolution, edit almost anything (even parts of imported graphs like legends and stuff) and it is an even easier program to work with than powerpoint.
