In that case, maybe the component is not reducing in size the origional file, but the
120x120 image it has in memory?
Maybe try setting the component siz and then load the image.
Also, dont't forget that resolutions come in to play here as well - i.e. saying it's a
30x30mm image is meaningless until you take into account the resolution (it's been
ages since I messed with graphics BTW, so I may be talking bollocks) - how many pixels
per inch etc. A 100 by 100 pixel image on the screen looks fairly big, but
when dumped straight onto a 600 dpi printer gives a tiny (1/6th of an inch) picture.
A 30x30mm image at low resolution is different from a 30x30mm image at a higher
resolution - Photo Paint is a fairly professional package - so it should be taking
this stuff into account. QR may not be quite so precise in its image handling which
could be the cause of the problem.
(Um, short version - photo paint is taking into account resolution - QR is just
reading the pixels without making allowances for resolution.)
That all make sense?
/me now tries to get memories of desktop publishing out of head....
