Quality Loss when I copy bitmap from Photo and Paste in Designer

[jaztek]

Hi - I've been noticing that when I copy a bitmap image from Photo into Designer it becomes slightly blurry.

 

In the preferences both are set to 'Bilinear' best quality.

 

Does anyone know why this is and how I can fix it?

 

Thanks.

Are you doing Copy/Paste or are you using File > Place...?

 

What resolution is the Bitmap image and what format jpg, png, tiff...?

 

Do you have an example, either a screenshot or actual file?

Hi jaztek,

Check the X,Y coordinates of the image in the Transform panel. Are they integer values? If not enable/tick Force Pixel Alignment (make sure Move by whole pixels is unticked/unchecked otherwise the decimal places will be kept) in the Snapping Manager (menu View ▸ Snapping Manager...) then move the image slightly in Designer's canvas until it snaps to integer values.
