Bitmaps getting resized (optimised) automatically in XDP X9 - why?

[Yellosub]

Thank you for your explanation, Acorn. I understand automatic optimisation is a good idea for web documents, but not for print. This feature does not make any sense here. I don't want to suddenly have a bitmap at i.e. 80 dpi in my print document without being asked or even being warned. So could this be a bug in X9, as it worked the way it should in X7, from which I upgraded recently?

I have DPX9 and do not see this behavior, as the hi-res image -- after the 'full/reduced size' dialog -- gets imported at full resolution. As a matter of fact I am even able to insert it into a web document at full resolution when using the bitmap gallery.

Have you tried using the File/Import option, rather than drag & drop from Explorer? Did you inadvertently convert your print document into a web document? Just trying to find a possible solution to the problem....

No, I did not convert my document to a web document. What I found out meanwhile is that the resizing takes place as soon as I drag the fullsize image from the bitmap gallery onto my page or onto an object on my page. The only way to get the fullsize pic out of the gallery is by selecting an object on the page and then double clicking the image in the gallery.
Once you know it it's not much of a problem of course, but still I don't see a reason why it should be like that.

Yes, I see the same here. When you drag & drop a hi-res image from the bitmap gallery the resolution is reduced to 1920 but when you click "Insert" on the bitmap menu (which is what I did before my last post), the full-size picture is used. No need to select an object or double click the image.

Anyway, glad you got the issue sorted.

I hope they are going to fix that bug. Thank you Boy for your help.

My pleasure.
