JPG Importing Changes File Size

[Egg Bramhill]

Alliefan, it doesn't matter what filesize an image is when you import them into Xara. For example if you drag in a 4000px x 3000px then resize it 500px x 375px and publish your site Xara creates a jpg (or png) at 500 x 375 @ 96dpi when published to html. However it remains as a 4000 x 3000 within the xar/web file.

It's the same with highslide images except it creates a thumbnail image and a second one at the zoomed size, which is determined by the width you set in Xara. Slideshows are handled in the same manner.

Here is how your four images are published on your site:

EDIT: Rereading your post I misunderstood your issue. This is being caused by Utilities / Options / View / Bitmaps. Yours appears to be set to 'Resize large images to 500 px'. You can set this to 'import all photos at 96dpi. It would be advisable to set this and resave the blank web template otherwise it defaults to 500px.
