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 raw, uncompressed, device-independent bitmap (e.g. DIB) to the Clipboard.”

Now, when I paste into Xara Designer Pro X11, JPEG compression artifacts are clearly visible. In the bitmap gallery the names of the pasted images are something like for example: Bitmap185 (Optimized)

Is it possible to prevent Xara from “optimizing” on paste?

I put optimizing in quotes because it’s in fact doing the oposite: The result is not optimized, it’s unusably bad.
