No, and that’s not the issue. As detailed elsewhere in this thread, Xara automatically JPEG-compresses certain bitmaps on paste. Behavior depends on the data format that a bitmap is stored on the...

Just checked with Designer Pro X: The issue is still there.

It would be great if someone updates this thread once Xara has a fix. That may motivate me to update to the latest version.

Thanks, Michael, all that looks very interesting!

No. As I wrote before, the image is stored as a device-independent uncompressed bitmap in the clipboard. If pasted into Xara, it’s compressed to JPEG. If pasted into Paint, it retains its full...

Slows down workflow. Just copying and pasting is simpler. That being said, ViewCaptureToFile does offer some additional options such as the capability to create a screenshot with higher resolution...

Thanks for the suggestion, but it does not work. The pasted image is still too small. Weird.

Thanks, this kind of works: Now when I paste, Xara asks if I want to paste as Device-independent Bitmap or as Bitmap. When choosing the first option, it pastes without conversion to JPEG. With the...

Images have been scaled up 200%. Notice the compression artifacts in the left image. First pasting into Paint and then copying from there is a workaround, although...

When pasting into Paint, then the image is clean, i.e. without artifacts. Paint beats Xara in quality! ;)


Quite possible. I just wonder if this behavior can be changed. Maybe there is a setting...

That has no effect: The compression artifacts are still there. The problem is that Xara converts to JPEG on paste, and a JPEG with a high compression rate. Not nice.

Any other suggestion?

In the 3D modeler Rhino3D, with the ViewCaptureToClipboard command, I can create a screenshot of the current viewport. According to a Rhino developer, “the ViewCaptureToClipboard command copies a...
