Create Bitmap Copy - Bitmap Size Tab

Bitmap Size and Resolution

The size of the bitmap can be set using:

Size Type the required width or height into one of the fields. Note that the aspect ratio of the bitmap is fixed so changing one dimension automatically changes the other. Size is the easier alternative if you want to create a bitmap to a particular size in pixels.

Resolution Type the resolution into the dpi field. The Width and Height are calculated from this to retain the aspect ratio of the bitmap.

Scale is not used in Create Bitmap Copy.

Tip

Choosing a resolution of 96dpi creates the bitmap the same size as the objects (when viewed at 100% magnification).

Area to Save

Dimmed for Create Bitmap Copy.

Anti-aliasing

Anti-aliasing improves the appearance of graphics by smoothing jagged edges.

Maintain Screen Anti-aliasing Create the bitmap using the anti-aliasing displayed on the monitor screen. (That is, do not change the anti-aliasing.) This is useful if you have positioned the objects to create a precise anti-aliasing effect.

Minimize Visible Anti-aliasing On export, reposition the objects by up to a pixel to minimize the anti-aliasing required for good results. If in doubt which option to use, select this. (Note for CorelXARA 2.0 [and earlier] users: this is how CorelXARA 2.0 created bitmaps.)
