I also had that problem. So I changed my habits and am preparing all slides
and figures not from the saved images anymore. Instead I export a PDF and
convert it to a PNG using imageMagick (or illustrator, on windows). That has
the advantage that the image quality is A LOT better and I won't go back to
saving the image directly from the website anymore, as the PDF has bigger
text and anti-aliasing.

Cheers
Max
