Hi Johanna, What version of QGIS are you using on what platform with how much RAM? I have found that too much information can be a challenge for even an A2 image export (300dpi) using (2.12 on XP with 3Gb RAM). What is _scary_ is that some little things get dropped and there is no warning. Let us know, Chris
