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...
Sorry. I thought you were downloading an image. Obviously PrintScreen and Paste
will produce a bitmap in your graphics program.
[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.
I think I understand now. When I want to add text to an image I create a new
empty image, with a size large enough for the original image, some lateral white
space and the text element. That way I can copy and paste each element in their
own layer in turn, without the original sizes being affected. Finally I merge
(flatten) all layers into the final image.
Could your problem being that you paste elements on top of an originally sized
image and Draw tries to accommodate this by re-sizing everything?
[cut]
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 ;-)
I'll have to think about that. Presently they are just cut from a PrintScreen
image, but adding a little background to the canvas will be easy enough. Just
for interest, why is this important?
