ok well as it is a screenshot maybe setting xara utilities/options/view tab to 'import all photos at 96dpi (1:1 at 100% zoom}' would be best - worth a try

Why not "ViewCaptureToFile". This option seems to allow you to save the bitmap in different formats:
Steps
Choose the location, file type, and name for the bitmap file.
BMP, JPG, PCX, PNG, TIFF, and TGA formats are supported.

Surely not that much to matter. Just save it as a png to your desktop, Drag and drop into Xara.Slows down workflow.

I must admit that looks bad. I tried it with several images on my machine and do not get that problem. Could it be that your image was saved then that same imaged saved again as a jpg, each one degrading the image further. That can happen and eventually it is totally washed out.

Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.
I'm not sure, but is this to do with the document type?
I would expect bitmaps to be optimised when pasted into Web documents because the expectation is that they will later be published online but I would not expect automatic optimisation in non-Web documents.
You could also try the "Help / Info Popups / Turn all on" menu item to ensure that you are given all the relevant options when pasting.

No. As I wrote before, the image is stored as a device-independent uncompressed bitmap in the clipboard. If pasted into Xara, it’s compressed to JPEG. If pasted into Paint, it retains its full quality. The discussion is starting to repeat itself.
Happens also when pasting into an A4 sized document for printing.
Even then Xara should not convert to JPEG automatically: A simple line drawing on white background, for example, can be better compressed as PNG than as JPEG.I would expect bitmaps to be optimised when pasted into Web documents because the expectation is that they will later be published online
This might also come in handy; look in the registry under the hive HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Xara\XtremePro x64\<version>\Options\Filters. There are numerous keys to fiddle with. The ones that you could definitively change are BitmapCompression and ImportJPEGQuality. But be aware and know what you're doing !
(Oh, and I rediscovered this older tip considering bitmap size on import: http://www.talkgraphics.com/showthre...gistry+options)
and digging deeper; a hint from Handdrawn: options/filters/optimiseJpegfrompng - set to 0 (from: http://www.talkgraphics.com/showthre...ght=ImportSize)
