Re:pixelated images - 2008/05/14 17:38hi there, I tried everything, but nothing helped to improve image quality (even that .plist thing). I think the problem is, that the "preview" resolution is the same as the export resolution.
the workaround mentioned above does not work properly, because the all the boxes and text fields had to be resized ... that^s awful.
perhaps there should be a checkbox in preferences to deactivate the (down-)resizing process.
comic life is such a nice piece of software, but with that low quality export issue it^s useless for me ...
I first thought, without checking preferences (my fault) that if I choose ISO A4, my page definition would be @300dpi.... but NO, that's why I got a A4 page but in 72dpi with 595 X842.
I decided to set directly a custom 2480 X 3508 document, wich is simply a A4 page @ 300dpi... wich make a big difference with a 72dpi doc...
I don't know why I didn't think about checking the pref I would have the solution quickly....but anyway, my job was 98% done and it was then too late and like FLOT wrote :

I should had to re build everything.... at this point...it would be great if we could group all the elements (with the command+L) and resize the bloc.... but for the moment when you do this , pictures don't keep the same crop size and you can increase the frame but you have rebuild in the frame the pics....
Sorry for my bad english hard day and very tired
anyway comic life is a great pleasure to work with, as well as the excellent SKITCH !!!!!!!!!
I'm having the same exported Pixelated images problem.
It only happens to images which have a style filter on. I've tried the plist trash thing, I've tried WYSIWYG tick box - this merely softens the effect to the point of not being usable. I've tried enlarging the page and importing the image then option "resize image to actual size" and then exporting with the effect - doesn;t work, still pixelated
The images I'm using are hi res and when exporting at any resolution or DPI (with the filter applied_ - they are low Q pixelated?
I am using Photoshop to compare the originals vs the exported images
Is there a solutuon to this problem?
I'm using CL v1.4 G5 PPC
Thanks

PS - Also, most of the filters (styles) are a bit too much - why isn't there a slider in the details tab to increase / decrease the effect of the filter ? My workaround is to do this in Photoshop by opacity fading the filtered image with the original
