Sharpening export PNG images

[wizard509]

I don't know what the problem was but as you can see it looks OK to me with XDP16

Sample icons.xar

At the size of your icons, and at 1:1 (96dpi) there are not a lot of dots/pixels to work with. So Xara anti-aliases the image which when viewed at 96dpi on your computer screen or a monitor will look reasonably sharp. But if you enlarge the image zoom in then the image will never be sharp.

Is this image is being used for a website? Because if so, then Steve, I don't think that exporting at any size is going to make a difference except if the dpi is less than 96dpi. If the image is being used for print, then that is a different story.

I wonder if this should have been posted in Web Design Chat?
