I can see why you might use Draw for this but, given your problems, maybe other tools would be more useful? Would I be correct in thinking that you immediately convert the source image into a lossless file format (png) and work in this format until the final export?
I would be glad to try other tools although I have all my nice graphic styles lined up in Draw and would like to continue using it. Re the second part of the paragraph, I am not quite sure... I just press print screen and then paste from the clipboard. I assume the image is a bitmap but I never checked...
[Snip] I really cannot
> understand why the size is modified during the copy & paste process. Neither can I. Obviously the GIMP is not adding pixels, so Draw must be re-sampling during the export, which is very odd behaviour. Is the image visibly deteriorating from screen in Draw to the output of the exported file?
Yes the image is deteriorated. Very interestingly though, if I do not add additional elements (i.e. copying from screen to draw, then draw to GIMP) there is no resizing. Resizing only occurs if I add elements on top of the screenshot. Unfortunately I haven't got GIMP at present (I am at work) but tonight I will experiment a bit more.

I thought you might be! I'm reviewing the Impress Guide presently and re-working all the screenshots. :-)
... and you are doing a fine job indeed. Just make sure the icons are 24x24pixels or 36x24 pixels for the tools with the little black triangle ;-) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
