exporting graphics - poor quality!

Hello



Can anyone advise?



I am creating a graphic in Corel Draw 9 and it looks great even when zoomed to high level. When I export as a JPG/vector - the result is far from satisfactory. When reduced in size to place on a web page it looks 'pixelated' even though vector images are not supposed to appear that way. Any pointers as to how what I may be doing in error?



Thanks

Welcome to TG Forums.

When you create a vector image in CoreDraw which is intended for use on a web page as a JPG at a specific size, make sure you export the image at that specific size.
Not larger or smaller than you require.
Also, set the JPG quality level at something lower than 100% but higher than 75%.
Once your your vector drawing has been exported as a JPG, it is no longer a vector and therefore cannot be resized without loosing quality and or pixelating as a JPG is a 'bitmap'.
