    Default bitmap copy of clip very blurry

    This weekend while trying to make an animated gif, I used the mask and clip features to use only a portion of an image in my project. I copied the clip and put it into the file I was working on.

    Later I wanted to make the file a bit smaller, so I tried the create a bitmap copy of the clipped item. The bitmap is very blurry, unusable.
    Is there anywhere I can check to see settings that might cause this? Using version 5.

    (I posted a version of the xar file as part of another post I made today http://www.talkgraphics.com/showthread.php?p=319820)

    Ramp up the DPI for the bitmap copy, 300dpi ought to do it

    In the Bitmap Copy dialog, go to the Bitmap Size tab and change (only) the DPI to 300

    Ah, Yes. How silly I feel now. Several times I looked right at it and did not even see the dropdown option.
    Worked perfectly. Much appreciated.

    You can also input via the keyboard if you want a higher dpi.
