true, andthat is going to depend on how large the images are in the xar

wonder if the issue is that you are exporting the images from xara at the default of 96dpi when you shouuld be choosing a higher dpi if the images are a higher dpi in the bitmap gallery [if they are not you are stuck with it]

office scanners tend not to go beyond 600dpi max; qiute possibly only 300dpi for colour - it is a function of how close the sensors are; when they claim to go higher again, it is interpolation

you can get true high res scanners but they are very expensive
